I don't know about "balls"...but Rodney has no fear, and yes it's plenty lacking today. I suspect he has friends on both sides of the aisle who protect him. I can see him giving a lecture on standing behind what you believe, but I don't know how much value He adds to a regular political science class...our education system is already lacking. But maybe I'm not seeing the professor's angle, perhaps he's not looking for a man with 6 llbs behind his name, maybe he just wants the students to hear from a common, plain spoken (somewhat irrational) man with no was able to fight the system and win....I suppose it's something to discuss...

Good for him. I personally think the charges wasn't going to stand regardless. I don't see this guy as an educated person, he seems to lack a bit of articulation. When he speaks, his emphasis of the word NEGRO makes me sick. But I guess he does more than the typical joe, and for that, I salute him.

Sorry, I don't hate Rodney. I had a short conversation with him last year, I find him highly amusing. I don't agree with his tactics a lot of times but I don't hate him. I don't think being brash and loud are the only measures of courage (if you count them as measures of courage)
Sometimes the wisest and most courageous person in the room is the one who pours water on the fire.

I predicted 2 weeks ago that Rodney Moncur would form a coalition with students of COB against the PLP & FNM.
Someone obviously afraid of the truth had the blog removed......
Rodney Moncur is the tip of the spear in the downfall of the PLP & FNM
Go Rodney GO!!!

Milo Butler use to walk into Royal Bank on Bay Street and demand that the bank hire more black people. He would then lay on the counter. Milo Butler was not a small man so it would take a while for the police to get him off the counter and remove him from the bank and so his message got the attention it needed to get. Rodney Moncur is not a man of means and so he uses whatever resources is available to stand up against wrong doing and oppression in this country. Call it style, Martin Luther King, Malcolm X, Milo Butler all of them had a different one. Then there was the man who walked through the streets of Nassau in the 80's and 90's writing in chalk on the street light poles. His main message was for government to 'balance the budget'. When people saw him they would shout out, "Balance the budget!" If only government had listened then, we would not be facing VAT and whatever else may come after it.

Comrade I have always respected Comrade Milo and while I can maybe picture he granddaughter Loretta having it in her protesting ways to be stretching out across some counter but never a Minnis, Duane or Darron and certainly not Comrade "Public Flogg'in" Bran. They protest is limited to the keyboard on they computers, hoping the Tribune will give press releases some page space. But I am left questioning, if Loretta really has that much of her grandfather's genuine fight-for-da-people's rights political skills carried over in her genes? I just don't know.
