Dezeray Lyn Was Wrong About Bob Buckhorn

For those who judged Tampa mayor Bob Buckhorn to be a total asshole after having 7 people arrested for feeding the homeless... We were wrong.
He is an *even bigger* asshole than we thought. 

Bob Buckhorn has been all over local media- as a catastrophic storm heads right for us, warning "looters" that he is going to have Tampa police attack and arrest them for disallowing corporations profit from a disaster by taking things they need to survive in this rabid, disgusting and horrendous capititalist system that keeps most of us in poverty while we create the wealth for the wealthy.

Sorry we misjudged you Bob.

A love letter from Dezeray

Ms. Davis we feel the same way!

Donna Davis Lowes Adventure

"At Lowe's, the line is through the store just to look for ply wood. My girl and I found a bunch of wood on a top shelf. Nobody could reach it so with the help of another family, we were able to stand on the second shelf and take wood down, distributing to everyone in line. Everyone there worked together to distribute to families as needed and the line dissipated. 

Many folks stayed to help carry wood to the line and load it onto carts to pay. Lowe's called the cops on us. We had to leave the store before they found us. I'm just hoping the families we gave the wood to were able to leave with theirs as we could not." Donna L. Davis
