Black Community News Service
PIGS ASSASSINATE BROTHER AND
SISTER IN ROBBINS, ILLINOIS
Earlier this week, two Black residents of the Robbins community were shot and killed
| members of the Robbins pig department. The two people killed in related incidents
were 16 year old Barbara Franks and 28 year old Ronald Lee. According to witnesses,
bolhtof these shootings were a clear case of open murder.
bi ihe first incident, witnesses say there had b: some random gunfire in the projects
and \Matesometime thereafter the pigs arrived on the scene, At this time Ronald Lee who
addejust Peiten off work as an ambulance dri ut the of the shooting, was leaving
@ Jriend’s, hduse on his way home. The pigs claiméd that they called for him to halt, and
_ that he Vefus2d so they opened fire on him, Witnesses say that it was impossible to tell
) that the men wire did ‘1c shooting were pigs because they were wearing plainclothes, Also
vt was) réporfed that Ronald Lee had fallen to the ground and began pleading for his life
Le fo being, shat.
A Tittle mote than a week before his death, Ronald Lee had agreed to testify against
_ Rorbins pig chief Porter McKammey. Last summer a young black woman of the
Robins community was brutally heaten ! the chief big. She had been beaten so badly
_ that ‘She required Nospitalization and the ambulance driver was Ronald Lee, The woman

Re "wasn’t Lying . Charge were later brought against the Chief of Pigs and several olher mem-
bers. of the Robbings Lic dept. Just prior to his death Ronald Lee spoke to officials in the
State's Attorney’s office and said that he had talked to McKammey and was afraid for his
life. Ronald L: e, a Petential witn gainst the pigs, is dead ard we can say from the facts
_ presented, that he Was assassinated,
Barbaya Franks was shot the same night, November 2, The pigs in then
effor! A stif) shdoting Ronald Lee, thought that by shooting some more people it would
look as though they were just shooting people randomly to defend themselves, and that
Ronald Lee was shot in that manner. Barbara Franks was riding with her boyfriend when

in. A bullet struck her in the base of the skull,
Further investivation reveals that the pigs involved in both of the shootings have a his-
tory of tis type of criminal activity against the people. One pig, Fred Pennix, had

Black Panther Party
Platform and Program
What We Want
What We Believe
Huev P. Newton Minister of Defense
Black Panther Party
1. We want freedum. We want power to determine the destiny of our
Black Community
We believe that black peop!e will not be free until we are able to deter
mine our destiny
2 We want full employ ment for our people
We believe that the federa vernment esponsible and ol ed to

demanding the overdue debt of forty acres and two mules. Forty acres
and two mules was promised 100 years ago as restitution for slave labor
and mass murder of black people. We will accept the payment in currency
Which will be distributed to our many communities. The Germans are now
Jews in Israel for the genocide of the Jewish people. The Ger-
SIX million Jews. The American racist has taken part in
the slaughter of over fifty million black people; therefore. we feel that this
is a modest demand that we make
aiding the
mans murdered
4. We want decent housing, fit for shelter of human beings
We believe that if the
white landlords will not give decent housing to
our black community
then the housing and the land should be made into
cooperatives so that our community, with government aid. can build and
make decent housing for its people
c
5. We want education for our people that exposes the true nature of this
decadent American society. We want education that teaches us our true
history and our role in the present-day society.
We believe in an educational system that will give to our people a knowl-
edge of self. If a man does not have knowledge of himself and his position
in society and the world, then he has little chance to relate to anything
else
6. We want all black men to be exempt from military service.
We believe that Black people. should not be forced to fight in the mifi-
lary service to defend a racist government that does not protect us. We
will not fight and kill other people of color in the world who. like black
people, are being victimized by the white racist government of America
We will protect ourselves from the force and violence of the racist police
and the racist military, by whatever means nex essary
7. We want an immediate end to POLICE BRUTALITY and MURDER
of black people
We believe we can end police brutality in our black community by or-
Banizing black self-defense groups that are dedicated to defending our
black community from racist police oppression and brutality, The Second
nt to the Constitution of the United States gives a right to bear
arms. We thetefore believe that all black people should arm themselves
for self-defense .
Amendme
8. We want freedom for all black men held in federal. State, county
and city prisons and jails
black people should be released from the many
ind prisons because th»y have not received a fair and impartial trial
9. We want all black people when brought to trial to be tried in court by
a jury of their peer group or people from their black communities, as
defined by the Constitution of the United States
Vc believe that the courts should follow the United States Constitution
oO that black people will receive fair trials. The 14th Amendment of the
U.S. Constitution gives a man a right to be tried by his peer group. A peer
IS a person from a similar economic, social, religious, geographical, en
tal, historical and racial background. To do this the court will be

10. We want land, bread, housing, education, clothing, justice and peace.
And as our major political objective, a United Nations-supervised plebis-
cite to be held throughout the black colony in which only black colonial
subjects will be allowed to participate, for the purpose of determining the
will of black people as to their national destiny
¢
When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one
people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with
another, and to assume, among the powers of the earth, the separate and
equal station to which the laws of nature and nature's God entitle them, a
decent to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare
the causes which impel them to the separation
We hold these truths self-evident, that all men are created equal
that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights;
that among these and the pursuit of happiness. That, to
secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their
just powers from the consent of the governed; that, whenever any form of
government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people
to alter or to abolish it, and to institute a new government, layiag its
foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as
to them shall scem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. Pru

are life. liberty
dence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not
be changed for light and transient causes; and. accordingly, all experience
hath shown. that mankind are more disposed to suffer. while evils are
sulferable. than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they
re accustomed. But, when a long train of abuses and uUsUrpations, pur-
suing invariably the same object, evinces a design to reduce them under ab
solute despotism, itis their right, itis their duty, to throw off such govern-
ment. and to provide new guards for their future security
