Police at the time ruled out any possibility that Constantine had hung the rope herself.

That statement from the story above has me completely baffled. They do qualify it by saying "at the time".

It''s like the 4 blacks that dumped the white paraplegic out of a wheelchair onto the floor. It was covered on page 5 of my daily newspaper. Hang up a noose though and all hell brakes lose here and page one!.

When idiots like Constantine play the race card every single time something goes wrong in their lives, it undermines those who are actual and legitimate victims.

Naturally, it makes me wonder about the ''noose'' and if she might have had a role in its appearance.

Well? Answer my question, how much time do you need before you hang your "CRUTCH" up for good? I can see by your posts certainly not in your or my lifetime. Common How long???????

Such "borrowing", properly called "voice merging", follows in a long tradition of folk preaching, particularly in the African American church and especially in the case of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and should not necessarily be termed plagiarism. On the contrary, King''s and Constantine''s skillful combination of language from different sources is a major oratorical skill.

I "voice merged" that little gem from Keith Miller, in Voice of Deliverance: The Language of Martin Luther King, Jr. and Its Sources.
