This week we are going back in the way back machine to the best decade of all time. The 90's. After what has been going on in California the last month or so, I felt it was appropriate to look at a time in history when we saw this happen before.

There is a lot that went into the events of April 29th 1992 and the days that followed. Years of abuse and exploitation, racism and stereotyping had the black community at it's wits end. Imagine you are just trying to live day to day but are constantly harrassed for the way you look.

In the 3 years before the riots over 50,000 people had been arrested simply because of where they lived. Then a young black girl was killed for no reason, and a black man was beaten severely with no one being held responsible. And people were tired.

We are back! Thank you so much to our fans who are still here with us while we were off. Thank you to everyone who reached out after the passing of my brother, your love was very much appreciated.

So this week we are looking at an event I did not pay much attention too at the time, I had just graduated high school a week prior. But you'd have to be an alien to not know the name Killdozer.

This is the story of a man who felt like everyone was against him and it was his god given duty to make them pay for their sins against him. So he bought a bulldozer and made it a tank so he could destroy those who had been against him.

May 5th is MMIW Awareness Day and June 6th is MMIM Awareness day but everyday indigenous people go missing and their cases are thrown to the side.

This is what happened with Benita Long when she went missing in March of 2022 from a motel in Washington state. At first police were not concerned due to her past history, and by the time they actually cared to investigate it was far to late.

If you or anyone you knows knows anything about the disappearance of Benita Long call the Yakama Nation Police at 509-865-2933 and refer to case number 22-004079.
