WE WERE SUPPOSED TO BE LIKE THE AFRICAN AMERICAN FAMILIES OF THE 1930'S AND 1940's.
JUST GO IN THE PRE-DAWN HOURS AND CLIMB THE OAK TREE AND CUT THE ROPE THAT HELD THE BODY OF MY LYNCHED BROTHER, THEN CAREFULLY AND QUIETLY LET HIM DOWN INTO THE ARMS OF HIS WAITING FAMILY
AND NEVER, EVER DARE ASK AUTHORITIES FOR ANY HELP HOLDING THOSE WHO DID THIS TO HIM ACCOUNTABLE. WE TRANSGRESSED.
WE ASKED WHO DID THIS TO LARRY NEAL. WE WENT TO THE JOHNNIE COCHRAN FIRM FOR HELP. THEY TRICKED US AND WORKED FOR THE JAIL, OUR DEFENDANT. WE THEN TOOK THE LAW FIRM TO COURT FOR ITS FRAUD. THE JUDGE DISMISSED, SAYING THERE IS NO ATLANTA OFFICE OF THE FIRM, DESPITE ITS PROLIFIC ADVERTISEMENT AND CONTINUING OPERATION. WE NOW ASK THE USDOJ TO HELP. IT SO FAR REFUSES. WE FILED ANOTHER LAWSUIT AND SET UP A WEBSITE: http://wrongfuldeathoflarryneal.com
THIS IS WHAT IS GOING ON NOW. MY FAMILY IS APPARENTLY BEING MADE OUT TO BE TERRORISTS FOR MERELY DARING TO ASK
WHAT HAPPENED TO LARRY NEAL?
BUT I ASK IT. I WILL KEEP ON ASKING IT. I BEG FREEDOM-LOVING PEOPLE EVERYWHERE TO ASK IT WITH ME.
WHAT HAPPENED TO LARRY NEAL?
My niece just called me. Apparently my whole family is now targeted for harassment.
She was fired from her government job about two weeks ago. She was in the probationary period, so no explanation was necessary or given. Also, she reported that FBI agents went to her house and asked her if she has ever been an exotic dancer.
My niece is 45 years old, a mother of two sons - one is an aircraft mechanic for the Air Force and one is in medical school. She has no criminal background and wouldn't know anything about nude dancing. And besides that, exotic dancing is not illegal, even if she was a dancer. It just seemed to be harassment. She said she cannot seem to get another job.
The same week this happened to her, I was being chased by up to four cars with men talking on cell phones, and 911 did not come to my aid. So I made the YouTube videos to cry out to the world for help and hoping for safety in disclosure. Somehow, the videos seem to be taken over by someone. I am told by friends they cannot post comments to them. No matter how many people watch, the number of hits remains constant. Someone posted a statement underneath them saying they were made in response to someone else's videos. This is not true. They were made in response to perceived danger. Despite these things, we yet ask
WHAT HAPPENED TO LARRY NEAL?
WHAT HAPPENED TO LARRY NEAL?
WE ARE NOT A TERRORISTS. WE JUST WANT TO KNOW
WHAT HAPPENED TO LARRY NEAL?
Since Emergency 911 will not come when I call them and I am followed when I go places, I stay home a great deal, preferring that they have to come into my home and get me; that way you will all know - whoever "they" are. Besides, it is no fun to drive and be followed. One wonders, is the purpose merely harassment, or something worse?
Check the court docket in our case at item 22 if you want proof of my being followed.
Guards at my previous place of employment -- the Atlantic Center Plaza at 14th and W. Peachtree, Atlanta, Georgia, also have information, having seen the men and made security reports about them.
PRAY FOR US. BLACK FAMILIES SHOULD HAVE THE RIGHT IN THE 21ST CENTURY TO INQUIRE
HOW DID MY BROTHER DIE IN GOVERNMENT CUSTODY?
IS IT ILLEGAL AND IMMORAL TO WITHHOLD THE INFORMATION AND RECORDS ABOUT HIS SECRET ARREST AND DEATH
WHAT HAPPENED TO LARRY NEAL?
WHAT HAPPENED TO LARRY NEAL?
I WON'T STOP ASKING. I WON'T STOP ASKING
I AM LIKE MARTIN LUTHER KING. I AM LIKE HARRIET TUBMAN, I AM LIKE FREDERICK DOUGLAS, I AM LIKE ROBERT ABBOTT, I AM LIKE MARY BETHUNE, I AM LIKE MARY TERRELL, I AM LIKE CARTER WOODSON, I AM LIKE BLANCHE BRUCE, I AM LIKE JEAN BAPTISTE PONTE DE SABLE, I AM LIKE MALCOLM X, I AM LIKE PHILLIS WHEATLEY, I AM LIKE W. E. B. DU BOIS, I AM LIKE IDA B. WELLS BARNETT, I AM LIKE ALL THE BLACK BROTHERS AND SISTERS WHO DARED TO STAND AND HAVE A SAY AGAINST OPPRESSION
I WON'T STOP ASKING
I WON'T STOP ASKING. COUNT ME AS AN ENEMY IF YOU WANT TO -- IF ASKING WHAT YOU DID WITH LARRY NEAL MAKES ME AN ENEMY, I REGRET THAT. BUT
WHAT HAPPENED TO LARRY NEAL?
***************************
For everyone's information, I love God, I love America and the idea of true democracy. Unlike many African Americans and Caucasians, I am not prejudice. This makes me unpopular with some people. But if these things make me a terrorist, then there is something very wrong with our national security agency.
I suppose my family should be flattered. I understand that Martin Luther King was on such watch lists, along with others who stood up for justice and human rights. There are probably many names on that list today. Perhaps yours is next to mine.
After our denial of justice in Georgia Superior Court, we realized that mainstream media censored all reports of these events, including Larry's secret arrest and death, The Cochran Firm's fraud, and the firm's apparent denial in court of its own existence in a major city (either false advertising or perjury). We learned about other psychiatric patients being treated poorly and started Assistance to the Incarcerated Mentally Ill ("AIMI," a human rights group with a presence on Care2) to advocate for sick people.
Numerous instruments for positive change have arisen after personal tragedies, including Amber Alert, Mothers Against Drunk Divers, and America Most Wanted. Like AIMI, these all started as responses to wrongful deaths. But because we are African Americans, any attempt to organize anything is suspect. This country's distrust of African American citizens has no basis in fact. Rather, it the result of a guilt complex following centuries of institutionalized racism which was fully condoned by the government, and which continues in some respects. For instance, white families are not denied records after the death of their relatives in government custody, and withholding such information is itself illegal. A guilty conscious makes one run when no one is in persuit.
I received the correspondence below from a friend and member of AIMI. She said she believes my asking about what happened to my brother and calling for fair treatment for imprisoned mental patients like Larry may have put me on some sort of terrorist watch group. Can you believe that? We did not go to his funeral and just go home afterward, eat fried chicken and cry. We dared to ask authorities to tell us what happened to Larry, we try to help others like him, and now I may be made out to be some sort of terrorist! Does the truth terrorise you? Then get right with God and respect the rights of all citizens, regardless of their race, economic status, and whether or not they have disabilities. In other words, live up to the Constitution!
Being censored in mainstream media, we took our advocacy to the Internet, where we experience much interference, including deleted emails, redirected web browsing through remote access, blockage from registration at some Internet sites, and interference with using services for wider Internet visibility like
StumbleUpon and others. The below email is from a member of AIMI.

Hi Mary,
I recently sent an email/letter to a police officer in TX concerning animal abuse. I recieved this back from them...
"THIS EMAIL HAS BEEN FLAGGED AS SENT FROM A MEMBER OF A GROUP IDENTIFIED BY THE FBI AS A TERRORIST ORGANIZATION. IT HAS BEEN DELETED WITHOUT BEING READ" . . . I found this rather odd.
But, then after thinking about it I wonder if it's to do with AIMI. Many times I have tried to post a story, and I can't do it for one reason or another. Alot of times I even have problems leaving a comment there. I either get disconnected, it won't go through, or something usually always happens. (Very frustrating!) And STILL when I click the accept button to be a host, nothing happens! Just can't figure that one out... Anyhow, I was reading a comment on a story and someone (xxxxxx) was also having trouble with AIMI.
Read that on story"
FBI Can Now Interrogate of Americans Without Any Links to Terrorism". Anyhow, I was wondering if you know of anyone else that may be having the same problems? Or, recieved an email like I did?
Waiting to hear from you. Take care of yourself my friend.
Your friend, xxxxx

Good stuff. Sorry cant flag from a mobile. Keep your faith in the one true God and try not to get angry, it will cloud your judgment. We will all be judged fairly in the end, them included!

That is OK if you cannot flag it, Sputnic. I know this is GS. I know that Larry Neal's family deserves to know how and why he was under secret arrest and died in Memphis/Shelby Co. Jail. I know that
AFRICAN AMERICAN FAMILIES ARE EXPECTED TO SHUT UP ABOUT THE WRONGFUL DEATH OF OUR MEMBERS
I know that they want to make me out to be a terrorist because I dare to ask for records.
I know they won't let the media report that THE ATLANTA OFFICE OF THE JOHNNIE COCHRAN FIRM HAD ITSELF DECLARED NONEXISTENT TO KEEP FROM GOING TO COURT ON THIS.
But, GOD IS STRONGER THAN ALL THE FORCES ON THIS EARTH.
AND
IN GOD I TRUST. IN GOD I TRUST. IN GOD I TRUST. IN GOD I TRUST.

duo, I like this story. It's good stuff. I'm floored Mary! What levels of cover up will they go to?
at 10:58 on October 26th, 2008
Well, considering that I was chased down the street and cornered in our neighborhood Chevron station for an hour waiting for 911 to respond, and considering that no response came from police -- even to this day -- I would say "they" are willing to go pretty far. Want to see some more? They have absolute control over our YouTube videos - won't allow comments to post and control the "hits counter." Now do you see? It is called CENSORSHIP - 21st Century Style. Told ya, even the pretense of democracy is dead as far as I can tell.

Secondly, I told you they won't allow my articles to be posted to most Internet boosting services, and if they are posted, they are usually removed in short order. Read the notice I got from StumbleUpon.

Want to know what someone wrote on our petition asking for an investigation about Larry? He wrote that justice is for the rich only. We're still in court, so I'll let you know about that later.

duo, It is sad your family has to go through this.
at 11:01 on October 26th, 2008
Thanks, Amy.
How many movies have you seen where regular people have a chance encounter with Mafia types and wind up in situations they don't understand where none of the normal rules and safeguards apply? Believe me, it is more fun to watch drama on a movie than it is to live it.

Hang in there Mary Neal.....God See's All....Keep Your Faith!!!

Please see that everyone knows about this. We are now in danger for exercising free speech. Open the news story below. Someone sent what I perceive as a death threat in response to our videos.
http://my.nowpublic.com/culture/terrorism-sources-unknown-after-lawsuit-against-johnnie-cochran-firm
If it were not for NowPublic and Care2 and a few other truly independent news sources, we don't know what would have happened by now.
Imagine how we feel! Larry is euthanized in jail under secret arrest, and you go to a lawyer who handles cases like that, and the lawyer works with the jail against you to suppress your case.
You sue the law firm, and a judge says the lawyers do not EXIST in the office where the lawyers do business every day and advertises more than any other law firm in the city!
You sue the lawyer in a higher court and attempt to use the Internet to shed some daylight on the injustice against your relative and others who are mentally ill, because MAINSTREAM MEDIA IS SOLD OUT AND GOOD FOR NOTHING!
But even using the Internet, you experience much censorship, and folks start following you in cars, and to what purpose? What do they plan to do?
You make YouTube videos thinking that will give you safety, since Emergency 911 DeKalb County Georgia ignores your cry for help.
The YouTube videos hit counter is stuck. Comments to the videos are not allowed to register. When I cross post to other videos, my posts are removed. Please try to leave a comment on YouTube and tell me what happens! Go to You Tube and search for "Cochran Firm Fraud" videos.
I have decided the best option may be to sue one of the Internet media. Then in defense of that lawsuit, the media company I sue can find out who is doing this. They have the technology to see who is hacking in or if someone is buying cooperation from their employees.
I AM SICK OF THIS AND I AM GOING TO USE EVERY RESOURCE TO STOP THE CENSORSHIP. I AM AN AMERICAN CITIZEN, AND I HAVE THE RIGHT TO FREE SPEECH.
I HAVE THE RIGHT TO POLICE PROTECTION AND 911 SERVICES.
I HAVE THE RIGHT TO USE PUBLIC ACCESS MEDIA.
IF THIS IS NO LONGER AMERICA, THEN STAND UP AND SAY SO. IF IT IS STILL AMERICA, THEN MAKE THESE PEOPLE STOP HARASSING ME, LIMITING MY FREE SPEECH, FOLLOWING ME IN CARS AND SENDING THREATENING VIDEOS IN RESPONSE TO MINE.
Please help to keep daylight on this by sending this news story link to your friends. We feel that there may be safety in disclosure. That is all I know to do.
You want to see an example of censorship in online media? The mere fact that this is not covered in mainstream media proves they are censoring this news. An example of online censorship in the email below, designed to limit Internet disclosure of the injustices my family faces - and the perceived danger:

Make sure everyone on your list serve knows about this, please. Send them a link. There may be safety in disclosure. Thank you so much.

Have you seen the vast number of videos on YouTube that present our highest elected officials in a bad light? I have. But if you type in COCHRAN FIRM or COCHRAN FIRM FRAUD in the YouTube Browser today, guess what? My videos no longer come up! In fact, the only way to see them now is if you have the exact links! Now who is more powerful than all of these world leaders who probably would like negative YouTube videos deleted from the YouTube search because they expose something embarrassing or even criminal? Anyway, since you cannot see them w/o the links, they follow my signature below.
