A band called 'Death' was punk before punk was punk
Formed in November 1971 by the 3 Hackney brothers, they were influential pioneers of the genre and, along with Pure Hell, the first all-black proto-punk/punk band.

Folks, two things can true at the same time.
These 2 National Guard members should not have been shot, and it's a disgusting act of violence. And, Trump + Miller have deliberately deployed them to incite division { violence. That's part of Miller's plan. They have no reason to be in our cities.

Climbing into his wood-paneled station wagon, I went with Granddaddy to the grocery store (Winn-Dixie or Piggly Wiggly). At the store, he realized he forgot his grocery list at home. But I remembered everything on it.
Back at the house, he told me: “You sure got a good memory!” Best compliment. 😊
