ATLANTA - The Southern Christian Leadership Conference Wednesday suspended the president of its Georgia chapter, the day after he urged blacks to exercise their Second Amendment right to bear arms in response to recent police shootings of unarmed blacks.

SCLC National President and CEO Dr. Charles Steele made the announcement at a news conference.

The action comes after Georgia SCLC President Sam Mosteller Tuesday called on all African-Americans to exercise their Second Amendment right to bear arms.

In a statement, Dr. Steele said, We have found that his (Reverend Mosteller's) comments do not represent, not reflect the principles and position of this organization.

As a result, the national organization announced the indefinite suspension of Rev. Mosteller, ordered an internal investigation, and ordered him to undergo an internal training program.

Tuesday, Rev. Mosteller told reporters he is tired of talking and marching and of inaction at the local and federal level.

He said police and the justice system have failed blacks in cities nationwide.

Reverend Mosteller stated, "We going to have to do something in our community to let the rest of America know that we are not going to be victimized by just anybody whether it be police or folks that decide that black people are thugs and we need to control that black community. We [are] not going to allow that anymore."

But when asked if he was suggesting blacks pack weapons the reverend insisted he was being misquoted saying, "Listen, listen I didn't say that. I said the Second Amendment right? I didn't say pack weapons, I said Second Amendment. Please don't put words in my mouth, please don't do that... Do you have to carry a weapon to avail yourself of the Second Amendment the answer is no, you don't have to okay?"

In his statement, Dr. Steele said the SCLC was founded and maintains its position against violence of ANY type.

SCLC calling on blacks to 'Exercise Second Amendment Rights'

The Arkansas House of Representatives gave final approval Tuesday to a bill that would make re-homing adopted children illegal.

Legislators approved two amendments from the senate for House Bill 1676, sponsored by Rep. David Meeks, R-Conway, with 89-0 for the first amendment and 88-0 for the second amendment.

The amendments added a co-sponsor from the Senate and added language that would make an international adoption recognized in the foreign country.

The second amendment would also ensure that a police officer acting in an official capacity would not be in violation of the law, such as a police officer posing online as someone willing to accept an adopted minor.

The legislation would make re-homing adopted children a felony punishable by up to five years in prison.

The bill also encourages adoptive parents who are struggling with those children to return them to the state.

A companion bill filed by Rep. Greg Leding, D-Fayetteville, has already been sent to Gov. Asa Hutchinson.

HB1648 would require the state Department of Human Services to set post-adoptive rules to make clear what options are available to parents who are struggling with an adopted child and make it illegal for adoptive parents to collect state subsidies if the adopted child has been given to someone else.

These bills were filed after the publication of an Arkansas Times story detailed Rep. Justin Harris' re-homing of two adopted daughters in 2013 to a man who sexual abused the oldest girl.

Harris said at a previous news conference that he and his wife Marsha tried to return the girls, ages 3 and 5 at the time, to DHS because they were too difficult to raise.

They were the words we knew had been coming all along. "Rick, do it."

That was all the urging Rick needed to pull out the pistol Deanna had tried to ban and, at her command, execute Pete, the wife-basher who had just slit the throat of Deanna's peace-and-light architect husband Reg.

And with that, the Second Amendment triumphed over wishy-washy liberalism and The Walking Dead lurched unmistakably to the right.

Not that it hasn't done so before, and not to say that it will stay there, for above all else The Walking Dead is an arena in which competing political philosophies do gladiatorial combat - not to the death so much as "until next time".

And with the finale drawing a record audience of 15.8 million viewers in the United States, and with catch-up viewers topping the 20 million mark, there are likely to be a lot of next times.

This won't end well: Rick and Pete (Corey Brill) fast became enemies, and rivals for the affections of Pete's wife Jessie (Alexandra Breckenridge). Photo: AMC
