September 24, 2017, 10:45:16 pm Psalm 51:17 says: The specific rule pertaining to the national anthem is found on pages A62-63 of the league rulebook. It states: “The National Anthem must be played prior to every NFL game, and all players must be on the sideline for the National Anthem. “During the National Anthem, players on the field and bench area should stand at attention, face the flag, hold helmets in their left hand, and refrain from talking. The home team should ensure that the American flag is in good condition. It should be pointed out to players and coaches that we continue to be judged by the public in this area of respect for the flag and our country. Failure to be on the field by the start of the National Anthem may result in discipline, such as fines, suspensions, and/or the forfeiture of draft choice(s) for violations of the above, including first offenses.”

Aluminum is a known neurotoxin that destroys cellular metabolism and function. Hundreds of studies link to the ravaging effects of aluminum. The other proteins and formaldehyde serve to activate the immune system and open up the blood-brain barrier. This is NOT a good thing."

What's really interesting about this story is that the locals say the gun was part of a 70 year old ritual, while a senior Mason of the lodge says Masons don't use guns in their rituals, so basically he threw his own fellow lodge members right under the bus!

The triggerman has been a Mason for many years. I would think the guy knows what Masons do, at least at the first two levels. Somebody is lying. Of course, it's the Masons, and now another person is dead because of the Masons.

Man Killed During Initiation at Masonic Lodge

Published March 09, 2004
Associated Press


A man was killed during a Masonic initiation ceremony when another member fired a gun loaded with real bullets instead of the expected blanks and shot him in the face, police said Tuesday.


A 76-year-old man alleged to have fired the shot was charged with manslaughter.


William James, 47, was shot while participating in an induction Monday night at the Southside Masonic Lodge (search), Suffolk County police said. He was pronounced dead at the scene.


Detective Lt. Jack Fitzpatrick said the ritual that went "tragically wrong" involves making a loud noise to frighten the new member.


"The ceremony was designed to create a state of anxiety," he said.


The lieutenant said the Masons sat James in a chair and placed cans on a small platform around his head.


The alleged shooter, Albert Eid, was standing approximately 20 feet away holding a gun, Fitzpatrick said at a news conference. When the gun was fired, a man who had been holding a stick out of sight was supposed to knock the cans off the platform to make the inductee think they had been struck by bullets, he said.


Eid had two guns — one with blanks and one with real bullets — and apparently pulled the wrong one out of his pocket and fired, shooting James in the face, the lieutenant said.


"We believe it was completely accidental," Fitzpatrick said. Eid was quite "stunned and distraught" at James' death, he said.


Eid, of Patchogue, had had a permit since 1951 for the .32-caliber handgun used in the shooting but it was not clear why he took it to the ceremony, police said. He pleaded innocent to a manslaughter charge and bail was set at $2,500. His next court date was scheduled for April 27.


Eid's lawyer did not immediately return a call seeking comment.


Carl Fitje, grand master of the New York State Freemasons (search), issued a statement Tuesday denying that guns play a role in any officially sanctioned lodge ceremonies.


"We don't use pistols," Steve Mayo, who described himself as a senior deacon of the lodge, told reporters Tuesday. "This is not a Masonic ceremony where we bring pistols."


However, Fitzpatrick said members told police the rite involving a gun goes back at least 70 years.


Mayo said the Monday night ceremony was an initiation into the Fellow Craft (search), which is the second degree within the multilevel Masonic system.


Mayo said James, of Medford, had been a member of the lodge for a few months while Eid had been a member for many years.


"This is very upsetting, very upsetting that one of our brothers was accidentally killed," he said.


James worked for the planning department of the Long Island town of Brookhaven, spokesman Dave Kennedy said.

Either way, the charge this guy got was ONLY MANSLAUGHTER Huh I thought manslaughter means someone is killed WITHOUT any kind of premeditation or foul play involved with it Huh (ie-2 guys end up getting into a heated exchange, and one of them without thinking picks up a weapon a uses it against him - neither no premeditation nor no any kind of foul play involved with it)

With any other case LIKE this, it's 2nd degree(minimum), but somehow with the Masons they get a free pass like this? Angry
