Tom,
To answer Mr. Peloquin's second statement about a Lawsuit -- Hmmm!! Let's start with the protesters of the Cafe. So you know, I have lots of witnesses to statements that are degrading to the Cafe, the Inn, Mr. Lumukanda and myself. Now, and Just Received - a signed handwritten paper handed out by Sunday Abraham stating "Mr. Lumakanda's Apparrel is that of the Nation of Islam" signed "Sincerely, Christ's Servant" complete with a signature and the recipient is willing to testify that Abraham Sunday gave it to him - - After all our discussion and now this, if you (Tom) and the rest of this doubting Thomas community don't see the huge issues that this neighborhood is facing regarding race, social and educational inequities, people displacement/colonialism, etc., I can't help you any further?? This anti Cafe propaganda is the same propaganda technique of fear that Republicans are using that President Obama was not born in the United States - after 4 years of being President!!
So yes, actually both the Brookland List Serv and the Protesting Group of the Cafe can be sued. The reality is that too many in the community would be dragged into court and this would become a larger problem if not contained.
As for the Brookland Listserv, they have definitely been prejudiced against me - I have received no reason for the censoring that has occurred. They have a proven racist person working as a moderator and I can't be sure that some of the others aren't racist or have racial tendencies. For example, they have people use violent words and allow it through like the following that was posted a few days after our last election:
"I don't disagree, just wondered if the campaigns were required to clean up. My wife and I went for a walk along 12th St on Thursday evening taking down signs between Jackson and Newton, at least the one's that I could reach. I had my utility knife along for the Delano Hunter signs. I need to go to 9th and Monroe with my knife". No signs needed a knife to remove so why just Delano's? I was wondering if anyone would say anything about that!! Guess not!
Sounds like there is a HUGE Double Standard of acceptable "behavior/community standards" here in Brookland!! If it was me who tweeted what you tweeted and wrote what was written above instead about Kenyan, all kinds of outpouring of comments would probably be posted. Me, I would be a bad bad man or as you say "my behavior does not fit community standards"!!
As for Don Padous - he is not a Bully - that would only be if the cafe rolled over because of his egotistic, selfish, prejudiced and nasty behavior!! He is ____________ But, I am sure that Long and Foster will be happy to know that the Padous are signed on to such a prejudice 3 year Protest that does not affect them at all and now with what is in writing, a "Nation of Islam" religious persecution and possible hate language propaganda! He and his wife may have some of you White community members believing that the two of them are so "innocent" and that Don is only involved because "others" want him to represent them but he isn't fooling most of us. Anyways, I thought that Lawyers could represent without signing the protest petition. The fact that Don and Abigail is signed on to a liquor license protest which has utilized propaganda by apparent Christian Crusaders against "Mr. Lumukanda's" Nation of Islam (African American/Islamic) Apparel is a game changer!!
The overall community is suffering just so the Padous Ego to get stroked!! Sure don't see anyone else other than the cafe having many healthier/vegan choices as an option!! Below are just some of the assemblage of evidence that would be presented if/when this makes it to court!
1. So you know, community members like Caroline Petite, Former Commissioner Phillip Blair, other members of past Brookland Civic, other community leaders could be given subpoenas to come into court to testify on what was told to them as well as lots of others and people who wrote stuff on this internet. So, know that I have friends in that organization as well who were present to hear the comments being made - I guess they would have to convince a jury why they chose not to take a "stand" against such a horrible place in their community - a clear dereliction of their "Civic Responsibilities"!
2. For great weight - I am sure that the Lawyer from the Archdiocese into Court and a District Attorney in the neighborhood could testify on what was said to them as to slander.
3. In addition, there are witnesses that will testify to words like me money laundering, drug dealing, prostitution, whore house, after hours spot.
4. There is two years of harassment by Sunday Abraham and customers of the Cafe who will testify as to comments made towards them degrading the Cafe.
5. Let's not forget Don Padou email where he said I made statements that I never made so as to drum up support.
6. Let's not forget the ANC commissioners who heard John Feeley misrepresent the facts many times from the beginning to create distrust on the Cafe.
7. The Cafe still has a Protesting Resident regarding parking at the Cafe who lives 1 block (south) away from Manomale's (an approved liquor lic. business that has no parking) but somehow doesn't affect the protester 1 block away - go figure!!
8. The Padous somehow not protesting Manomale based on parking or proximity to school is prejudicial and does lend to being malicious!
9. Last, let's us not forget many folks who had a wrong idea of the people and the businesses located there because of all the intentional bad propaganda.
Anyways, don't think for a minute that every statement and the person who made it is on record. So while it hurts the Cafe financially, the overall community is suffering just so the Padous Egos get stroked!! Sure don't see anyone else other than the cafe having many healthier/vegan choices as an option!! Like my wife said, this latest documentation about Christ vs. the Nation of Islam sounds like some undercover Skin Head/Nazi propaganda!!
BTW - I wonder how this "Behaviors that Meet Community Standards" fits into everything!! The fact that this goes unanswered says a lot to me and I am sure to others!! I would like to know what we are supposed to behave like!! Do you and your wife share in these "dress code" type of beliefs!
