#Doc watches Unforgotten

Note: We don't actually see if she throws herself into the Thames, a bus passes before her and then she's gone. If I were a betting man, i would say that means she doesn't do it, but it could also be a "We don't have the budget for anyone to actually do this stunt."

I don't want her to do it for a multitude of reasons, but also because this is going to fuck up Curtis for the rest of his life. Curtis acted like a hurt idiot teenager and the only real love and support he's known killed herself over the hurt of it. Can you imagine? You could tell Curtis that she was the one who decided to do it and that is where all the blame can be laid, but he's not going to feel that way.

In the month after the men of SAMCRO were hauled away, Angel was starting to struggle. Precious was doing her best to keep things normal around the home but the lack of Bobby’s presence weighed heavily on them both. Angel helped as much as she could with cooking and cleaning, but there were days she locked herself in her room. David tried to come over but every time, she would ask Precious to not let him in. Angel avoided everyone as much as she could.

Gemma stopped by once with Bambi, which Angel was grateful for. They spent the evening watching movies and eating popcorn. When Gemma and Bambi left that night, Angel felt her heart break. It would be another month before she would see Gemma or Bambi again.

Angel was confused the next time she saw Bambi at her house. Kozik’s bike was parked out front and Bambi was inside, rolling her eyes at everything Precious was telling her to do. “Bambi, you causing trouble?” Angel called out as she dropped her bag near the door. Bambi smiled and ran over, wrapping her arms around Angel.

Kozik walked over and smiled at the two, “Hey is it ok if I leave her here tonight? I need to do some club things and I won’t be back until tomorrow evening.”

Angel nodded and hugged Bambi tightly. “Of course it’s alright! I have new movies we can watch and it’s been too long since we got to hang out! But wait, I thought she was staying with Gemma.”

“Nah, she’s been staying with me this whole time. Gemma, well she has her hands full. Thanks though kiddo.” Kozik knelt down and turned Bambi to face him, “And do you remember what we talked about?” Bambi rolled her eyes and smiled, “Yes Uncle Kozi.”

“Bambi, I’m serious. Do not make me tell your Daddy and Papi that you were making things hard for Angel and Precious.” Bambi nodded quickly “I swear, I promise! Can I please hang out with my sister?” Kozik gave the girl a hug and kissed the top of her head. “I’ll be back for you tomorrow, about dinner time. So be good and get your homework done.”

Angel enjoyed having Bambi around for the day. It felt like life was normal once again. Kozik returned late the next day and asked them to keep Bambi another night. Angel was ecstatic that she could spend the day with Bambi and David. Good things never last though. The trio had made their way to the clubhouse to see Gemma and Jax when Angel noticed a very angry Mary making her way to the garage office. “Hey David, can you take Bambi inside please? I’m going to make sure those two don’t tear each other apart.”

Before Angel could make her way to the office, a firm hand held her back. “Leave them sis. Let them hash it out.” Angel turned and noticed the bags under Opie’s eyes. “Hey, what’s going on?” Angel hadn’t seen Opie look this miserable since the death of Thomas and JT. “Um, follow me. We got to talk.” For the unforgotten number of times in the past months, Angel felt her stomach and heart clench up. Those were words she was beginning to dread but she followed Opie up the ladder and onto the roof. This is where they all came when they had thinking to do. Opie sat with his legs hanging over the roof and motioned for Angel to sit next to him . “So, what’s going on Ope?”

Opie pulled out a pack of cigarettes and lit on, ignoring the face that Angel made at him. “We’re leaving tonight. Ma pulled me out of school this morning. Packed up what we could. She wants me out of Charming.” Angel froze at the words. No, this can’t be happening. Not now… she thought to herself and willed the tears not to come. “I don’t want to go but she’s had it with Pops. She filed for a divorce already. She’ll get it too. I wanted to tell you in person.”

Angel felt as if her world was falling apart. Bambi was with Kozik and traveled with him when she could. Gemma had seemed distant from her. Jax - well it was hard to keep a tab on where he was at times. And now Opie was being pulled away. “Have you told Bambs yet?” Opie blew out the smoke and shook his head. “Nah, not yet. I was surprised to see her here honestly. Look, I can see you struggling. Take care of you first Angel. Jax, I love him, but he isn’t all here right now. I’ll be gone, so it’ll just be you and Bambi. Stay strong and look out for each other.”

Neither Opie or Angel moved until they heard Mary screaming for Opie to get down. Angel made her way over to Mary and gave her a hug. Despite never being close to Mary, Angel would miss her. She had brought some sort of normalcy to their lives and now that was leaving.

________________________________________

It took some time but Angel and Precious finally settled into a routine. Angel would wake early and make breakfast for the two of them. Precious would clean up after and then drive Angel to school. In school, Angel did her best to avoid David. She didn’t know why she was doing it but she couldn’t stand to see him at this point in time. She tried to talk to Jax and Opie when she saw them but that was rare, as they seemed to be in school less and less. Lunch was spent with Tara, pouring over books and notes to keep up with class. Tara was the only one who seemed to ask Angel how she was doing and tell her what was going on in the Teller household. Apparently, there had been a lot of fighting between Mary and Gemma when it came to Opie spending so much time at the Teller residence. Tara was also the only one to call out Angel on avoiding David.

“You can’t avoid him forever. He is so confused right now Angel. You haven’t even told him what he did wrong!”

“He didn’t do anything wrong Tara. I just…I just can’t see him right now. I have enough shit to worry about at home.”

“Angel, you’re one of my best friends. You know I love you like my own sister! So it is with great love that I tell you to get your head out your ass and talk to him! Before Jessica finds out and starts to sink her claws into him! You know she has been after him since you two started dating!”

Angel groaned and slammed her books closed. Tara watched as she gathered up everything and stormed out the lunchroom. With a sigh, Tara cleaned up their mess and made her way after Angel, afraid of what she would do. Everyone saw Angel going into a downward spiral and no one knew how to bring her back.

Tara caught up to Angel at her locker and watched as Angel tossed everything in there. “What?” Angel snapped, glaring at Tara. “I didn’t say anything.”

“Tara, you don’t have to say shit. No one has to say anything. I can see it on all your faces. If you want to say something, say it and stop holding back! I’m sick of everyone fucking avoiding telling me things!” When Tara remained quiet, Angel rolled her eyes and stormed off. She knew she shouldn’t have yelled at Tara like that, she was the last person who seemed to be willing to be around Angel.  But Tara was also supposed to be her friend and Angel couldn’t help but feel she was hiding something from her.

Angel did her best to concentrate through the rest of her classes. She could feel the eyes of her peers on her; the news of SAMCRO being imprisoned had spread throughout the city and was still mentioned in the newspaper. Angel had heard all the whispers.

When the end of the day finally arrived, Angel tossed everything into her locker. She knew she had to find David and talk to him. Tara had been right and it wasn’t ok to ignore the one of the few people who seemed to want to be around her still. Angel gathered what she needed and made her way over towards David’s locker. “Hey David,” Angel kept her voice low, unsure if he even wanted to talk to her. David stopped putting his stuff away and turned to face her. “Hey yourself.”

“Can we talk? Please?”

“Let me just get my stuff. I’ll walk you home and we can talk, ok?”

As the two left the school, Angel caught Tara out the corner of her eye, giving her a thumbs up. Angel waved and continued on her way with David. The first few minutes were silent as Angel struggled to find words. It took David laughing and grabbing her hand to break the silence. “You are so adorable, you know that right? Look, I get it. It’s rough for you right now. I’ve already forgiven you for whatever it is you’re blaming yourself for. I don’t want you to keep ignoring me though. I miss you babe.”

Angel squeezed his hand and stopped in the middle of the block, yanking David toward her and wrapping her arms around him. “I’m sorry Davey,” she whimpered into his chest. ��Shh. No crying Angel. I’m here for you. I just need you to tell me when things are getting rough for you. It’s my job to help you carry your burdens,” David lifted her face and pressed a soft kiss to her lips, “I LOVE you Angel Munson. It’s me and you against the world, no matter what tries to come between us. You’re my best friend. Don’t you ever forget that.”

________________________________________

  Three months after the men of SAMCRO were taken to prison, three of them were freed. Angel waiting anxiously with Precious and David at the clubhouse, ready to welcome home part of the family. The familiar sounds of bikes pulling up made Angel bounce with glee. Of course, Bobby wouldn’t be released for a while more but Angel was happy to at least have part of her family back. Precious sat at one of the picnic tables with David close by. Angel smiled at Precious, as she rubbed her swollen belly. Angel was saddened that Bobby wouldn’t be there to welcome the littlest Munson into the world, but she was determined to keep a smile for Precious.

Clay pulled into the lot first, followed by Tig and Chibs. Bambi was the first to reach them all, jumping into Tig’s arms. Angel felt conflicted as she watched the two. She was happy to see the two reunited but she couldn’t help feeling envious. She wouldn’t be able to hug her dad for who knew how long. Angel walked over to and gave Chibs a quick hug, welcoming him home before she turned and faced the other closest male in her life. Clay had his arms wrapped around Gemma but quickly motioned for Angel to come closer. “I missed your smile princess!” Clay bellowed as he wrapped his arms around Angel and lifted her up. Angel clung to her uncle and did her best not to cry.

 ________________________________________

Things were finally getting back to as normal as they could be once the three men returned. Bambi returned to living with Tig. Clay, Chibs, and Tig continued to carry out whatever they were doing before and Angel found herself around the clubhouse more often with Precious and David. Precious and Angel had visited Bobby twice over the past few months, until Precious was not able to move around much more.

It was a Saturday afternoon when Precious, Angel, and David were playing a game of cards at the kitchen table. This had become the norm for the three of them. David often stayed as late as possible, helping to care for the overdue, pregnant Precious. “Think the baby will finally make an appearance soon?” David teased Precious as he shuffled the deck. “I’m hopeful. Feels like this little shit is waiting for Daddy to get out to make their appearance!” Precious looked down at her belly and rubbed her hands over the bump slowly, “You got to come out soon little bean, Momma can’t take holding you in much longer.”

“I can’t wait until Daddy gets out. It’s not the same without him here.” Precious leaned over and patted Angel’s arm. “I know sweetie. He’ll be out before you know it. Especially with the little bean on the way. Now, who wants something to drink?” Precious tried to stand and gripped the edge of the table. David and Angel swiveled their heads and made threw back their chairs. “What’s wrong?” “Precious, is it time?” Precious gripped Angel’s arm and nodded quickly, “Shit,” she growled out, “David, start the car. Angel, grab the bags and call Gemma. Little bean is ready to make an appearance finally!”

Angel and David helped Precious to the car, Angel sitting in back as Precious gripped her hand tight. “I couldn’t get Gemma on the line but Luanne will hopefully be there! You got this Precious.”

After checking in Precious, David sat with Angel in the waiting room. No one had made it to the hospital yet and Angel still hadn’t been able to reach Gemma. The two sat in the waiting room by themselves, Angel leaning against David and slowly drifting off. She wasn’t sure how long she was out, but she felt movement and slowly opened her eyes. David was slowly lowering her head to rest on a pillow before making his way over to a distant figure. Angel was too tired to figure out who he was talking to and soon closed her eyes again.

David looked back on Angel sleeping on the chair. He knew it would be uncomfortable but he was determined to get a hold of someone from the club. He had already managed to call Luanne, who was picking up food for the two of them. Gemma was still MIA. So David tried the last number he knew. It rang three times before someone finally picked up, “Yeah?” The gruff voice spoke. David cleared his throat, “Hi Clay. It’s David. Hale.”

David rolled his eyes as he heard the chuckle on the other line, “Look, Angel and I are at St. Thomas. Precious -” David couldn’t finish his sentence before Clay interrupted him, “What do you mean? Is she ok? What happened?!”

David leaned against the wall and rubbed his face, “Angel is fine. Precious went into labor about two hours ago. We’ve been trying to get a hold of Gemma. Luanne is already on her way. Thought you guys would want to know.” David didn’t wait to hear what else Clay would have to say before hanging up and making his way over back to Angel. David knew they didn’t think much of him still. Two years of dating Angel and he was still himself to them. What he was proving, he was never sure. David leaned over Angel and slowly shook her awake, “Wake up babe. You’re neck is going to kill you like this.”

Luanne had finally arrived with food for them and rushed into the room to be with Precious. Hours later, the current free members of the club and Gemma finally arrived. It would be another 6 hours before Luanne called for Angel to follow her into the room. Precious looked exhausted and her eyes were red, but she had the biggest smile on her face. Angel took a step closer and noticed the little blue blanket. “Meet your baby brother, Robert Jr.,” Precious patted the side of the bed and beckoned for Angel to come closer. Angel sat next to her step-mother and held her arms open to accept her little brother. “Aww, he’s so red and angry! He looks like a little tiki monster!”

________________________________________

A year after being in prison, Bobby, Piney, and Happy were finally released. Angel kept hold of her baby brother as everyone else continued to decorate the club house. They were throwing a big party to celebrate almost everyone being freed. No one would tell her why, but Otto was the only one not being released and no one knew if he would ever be released. Angel’s heart broke for Luanne but she was glad to see her helping get the party together. Angel made her way over to Luanne and wrapped an arm around the woman’s shoulders. Luanne looked up and gave a small smile but it never reached her eyes. “Hey Ma, how you holding up?” Luanne gave a small shrug, “As best as I can. This is a time for us to be happy, even though not everyone is here. I’ll be ok baby. Go keep this little monster out of trouble, the guys should be here really soon.”

The sound of bikes could be heard in the near distance and everyone made their way outside. Angel sat at one of the nearby picnic tables with little Tiki. Angel couldn’t help but laugh at how her nickname for the baby stuck so quickly. David appeared behind her and pressed a kiss to her shoulder before sitting next to her and passing her the baby’s bottle. David had been a huge help for Angel and Precious since the baby was born. Precious had gotten sick right after Tiki was born so David and Angel took care of them both, making sure that whatever Precious had wasn’t passed onto the baby. Even when she was all better, Angel still cared for her little brother. Precious had picked up an evening shift of work to bring in money to the household and Angel was watching little Tiki every evening. David was always over, bringing them food before Precious went off to work and ensuring that they had what they needed.

David’s family couldn’t understand why he was still with the Munson girl, especially his brother Jacob. But David would just ignore them as he got ready to go over every day. It sucked that they couldn’t do normal dates, just by themselves. But he wouldn’t give it up for anything. The few times they actually went out with the baby, David had to hold back his anger at all the whispering and rumors starting to form. Now that Bobby was back, David was hopeful that he and Angel could be a normal teen couple again.

Bobby parked his bike in his normal space and opened his arms as Precious ran to him. He had missed his wife so much and now here she was, her legs and arms wrapped around him and her lips pressed to his. Bobby knew that tonight would be a welcome home he wouldn’t forget. Setting his wife down, Bobby looked around the lot, searching for his other girl. Bobby stopped when he caught sight of Angel with David’s arm wrapped around her and both doting on a little baby in her arms. Bobby wasn’t ready to every imagine his little girl like that and he stormed over to the two, “Alright break this shit up!” David and Angel both jumped and gave a small laugh. David stood and held out his hand, “Welcome home sir.” Bobby smirked and pulled the boy in for a quick hug. “Thank you for taking care of my girls and little boy. You didn’t have to but you did.” Angel stood and passed little Tiki over to David so she could properly greet her father. All eyes had been on the two. Angel and Bobby wrapped their arms tightly around one another, “Welcome home Daddy, I missed you so much!”

“I missed you so much pumpkin. You’ve grown up so much this past year, you’re not my baby girl anymore,” he sniffled softly and whispered to his daughter. Angel did her best but couldn’t help the tears. “I’ll always be your baby girl, Daddy. But now it’s time to meet your baby boy.”

Precious had joined the three and wrapped her arms around Bobby, resting her head on his shoulder. “Meet Robert “Tiki” Munson Jr.” Bobby frowned and scoffed, “Tiki? What the hell?”

Angel laughed and stuck out her tongue, “He looks like an angry tiki monster when he’s hungry! And he’s always hungry!”

As everyone made their way inside to enjoy the party, Bobby sat outside with his family. Angel and David brought plates of food out so they could eat together as Bobby continued to feed the baby. Looking around the table, Bobby couldn’t help but smile. He had his family back and he would be damned to let them go again. “It’s good to have you back.”

“It’s good to be back kiddos. Now let’s eat!”

Little Background of African American

African Americans experienced racism and lack of jobs opportunities in southern cities of the United States during the 1960’s. African Americans migrated to northern and western cities to pursue industrial jobs in manufacturing and escape racism in the southern American such as the Jim Crow laws and other restraints. One writer stated that after “African American migrated to the north and west, they also experienced racism and were subjected to poor living conditions, joblessness, chronic health problems, violence, and limited opportunities to change their circumstances” (Duncan 1).

Duncan, Garrett Albert. "Black Panther Party." Encyclopedia Britannica. Encyclopedia Britannica, Inc., 2017, https://www.britannica.com/topic/Black-Panther-Party

Thesis

The Black Panther Party (BPP) fought against the violent perception with programs it created and they did it peacefully not with violence. They Established programs to aid African American, fought against police brutality and fought for equal right of African American.

First Point

In the late 1960′s, the BPP established 35 survival Programs in several American States to assist African Americans. with these programs (Hilliard 5). the BPP’s mission sought to improve African American communities. they created the programs such as;Free Breakfast for Children  programs , education programs , and SAFE programs.

Second Point

The BPP fought valiantly against the police brutality in the African American communities. Among Black Power militants and their Black Nationalist precursors, the use of self-defense, while initially intended to stop police brutality and other racist oppression, ultimately became mainly a symbol of militant groups (Wendt 2).

Third Point

The BPP fought for equal rights for African Americans and put their lives on the line for equality and safety. In 1964, the Civil Rights Act addressed the issues regarding race discrimination in public accommodations in the country (Landsberg 1). African Americans were not treated fairly which caused anger and frustrations about the racial disparities and embraced the revolution.

The BPP strive to provide the affected communities with programs to elevate the spirits and hope. Due to their of persistency, the BPP will be remembered in American history as one of the unforgotten African American groups who had a significant impact on society

I pick this 1971 old school song because I found it really meaningful and it talked about the issues that African American faced. the melody has a soul gospel sensation that encouraged self-control, making positive choices and pride, and late it became a civil -rights anthem.

The Staple Singers.” Respect Yourself “ YouTube, May 31, 2013 https://youtu.be/P0kPAECYNIs.

 I believe that the BPP had a massive impact on American culture in help recognizing the lack of Equal rights for African Americans. They had a meaningful purpose in hopes to develop a better future for African Americans in the United States. We gather through research that BPP wanted African Americans to be recognized and treated as other citizens in the country. The BPP fought hard and strong for equal rights and treatment by those in African American communities. The BPP strove to provide the affected communities with programs to elevate the spirits and hope. Due to their persistency, the BPP will be remembered in American history as one of the unforgotten African American groups who had a significant impact on society by fighting for the equality of all people.

It's so funny how you get so used to what you hear all the time, I'm sitting here listening to this going, "Unlawfully murdering? As opposed to what? Murder with a hall pass?" and of course it's just the way things are said in the UK, just like Mirandizing here is said a very specific way (and called Mirandizing, probably) and it struck me.

Yeah, i'm not sure I buy that the guy who did all the running of someplace as gossipy as a hostel had no idea what the residents were up to most of the time. Nor do I think he would have just told a guy he saw Ji8mmy sucking dick in an alleyway just for funsies.

What I do somewhat doubt, though, is the crystal clear memories of people from 30+ years ago. What about this was so significant that it stuck in their memory all those years later? Do we really think he remembered that it was Eric he spoke to? I mean, being a gossip, i guess, but everything else i just don't know. BUT WE'RE GETTING TO THE END, SO.

With money you absolutely did not have and/or had to hide from your wife at all times so she didn't suspect that you had a secret child on the side. Good thing the embezzlement never came back to bite you in the ass or anything, huh?

I mean it is interesting, because of course him doing that is more or less the 'honorable thing'. But in order to do that, he had to become a criminal to avoid being SEEN as dishonorable. How many things do we do in our lives that are like that? How often do we behave like villains so no one will think us one?

I'm laughing so hard here. I have Spent Time in Ely, and it is a very cute little town next to an English-style river with little houseboats, there's a little square with a weekend market, etc. Adorable.

The level of GRAVITY with which this guy says, "He's taking them to Ely" makes it sound like fucking Sing Sing.

Good for you, Curtis! THis doesn't mean that you have to stop being upset about it, even, but if you can remember the things with Lizzie that are good and valuable and that meant something to you, and remember that she is still that same person, you can work your way back to a better relationship. It can be a part of everything, instead of just the end of everything.

I mean, yeah, this is something that would make logical sense to me. I still don't have any clue what is actually going on, and I reiterate that I think it would be great and hilarious if it were all a murder-based coincidence, but, I don't think that's probably very likely. One can hope, though.

One of my favorite questions this show continually brings up is: How long should you be punished for the person you used to be? Let's assume she didn't actually klil Jimmy because I don't think she did. She was shitty, and weak, and a fuckin coward and she has carried that shame for years. But, she had lived her life in such a way that suggests she has changed completely. She might have BEEN racist scum, but she is not currently. She runs an entire football club to help young black men. She basically adopted Curtis. She loves her husband.

I know it is popular and common now, though thank fuck I have seen signs of this changing, for people to commit sins and never ever be forgiven for them. I don't think this is helpful, and honestly I think it fucking radicalizes people. If you fall and can never be clean again, what is the fucking point? I tell you what, someone could have told me they fuckin burnt down a synagogue 15 years ago, but now they're working with groups against anti-Semitism, and I would be like..."great!" Frankly, someone could tell me, "hey I said some shit a month ago that I think might have been really shitty towards Jews* and that's not what I meant, but I think what I said was thoughtless and, upon reflection, I don't think that" I would also say, "great! Thank you." I just don't think it's valuable to pin the scarlet fuckin letter to people. There's no reason to ever get better.

I have, over the course of my life, said and done so many things that were ill-advised to outright wrong as fuck. I make mistakes every day. But, I want to live in a world where people forgive me my bullshit, and so, I have to create that by forgiving others.

Why put a Beth that no longer exists on trial?

*I suppose this could also be lesbians, but that's rarely it on this site. People pretty much disappoint me in the anti-semitic way.

FUUUUUCK. This is, I think, one of the most frustrating and annoying parts of working with human beings. They disappoint you. They disappoint you so easily. You do, so much, and sometimes the influences of their lives and culture and socioeconomic level, etc just are too much. This actually weirdly dovetails back into the conversation a few posts ago: It takes such strength of character not to fall into social pressure. I am certainly not immune. Neither are you.

And that is the heartbreaking part, it's why people burn out of helping teenagers especially (I did! maybe in a few years I'll go back to it, but I needed a fucking...break.) because they have so much potential, and they are at a part of their lives that is so important while they are also at their most fucking volatile and I am SCREAMING watching this because I have seen it happen in real time and it is so so hard and so so frustrating. I don't regret ANY of the work I did, and I wish people would help with it more because teens need it, and it would really help to have people who could rotate out every few years because it's so hard, but man, this happens, and it is so so hard.

"That ain't you" this fuckin crabs in a bucket shit, I have no patience for. You don't owe people 'staying real' or whatever the fuck ever. If Jewlet gets into an Ivy and wants to go, (and figures out how to afford it) I will let her and congratulate her and my feelings about that strata of society can sit the fuck down, because that will open a million opportunities to her that I can't give her. You don't owe people being like them. If you want to do something to improve yourself, and someone is telling you not to do that because it'll be....conforming or whatever, take it from me: They do not have your best interests at heart. They have making themselves feel better at heart. If you're both like this, it's the way to be, but if Curtis changes, then maybe he's just a loser.

See, now this to me would be a much much bigger betrayal than having slept with a girl fucking...more than 20 years ago. Don't get me wrong, I'm not going to be insanely impressed or anything, but there';s a huge difference between, "this is a mistake I made years ago" and "I am currently and have been doing this thing for years and years." This is all very of the now!

[docholligay]

Yes, you were definitely going to call the cops and tell them your dad had a body buried in the yard, and they were going to go, "Oh, thanks! I'll see you tomorrow, love and light." That was going to happen, I guess the cops are super chill in the UK.
