THE WRONG - NO JUSTICE

THE WRONG – NO JUSTICE

Yesterday afternoon I had a wonderful lady by the name of Jennifer sit in my kitchen and we talked about everything from politics, family, friends and yes justice.

Jennifer asked me “Rosa, did you ever receive Justice.”  I said NO.  So when I hear the cries of so many woman who never received any justice…My heart is sadden.  I want to scream how so many have ignored so many of them.  I hear it in their voices…I hear the tremble as they cry.  They did the right thing, they reported the abuse but…our Justice System failed so many.  So to you amazing politicians, if you want our votes do right by us!!!!  Stop making promises you never keep.

RACISM AND BIGOTRY RUINS LIVES

As years continue forward I sit here and I remember it has been over 30 years ago and it sadden me at times how Keith's Grandmother Margaret would say some really horrible bigot things about her own people and mine.

I think of Sterling and his racist/bigot comments.  Why People continue to say, "That's the way he is, set in his ways." Good lord, those are the exact same words I would hear from Keith’s family.  Stop making excuses for his horrible man.


RIP Margaret Smith Anderson, I will always pray for you.

THE SILENCE

Since my book came out in 2010, people still questioned why I, did not speak out against my ex husband Keith R. Sadler? Those who continue to question, here is my answer....I was no one, he made it clear that no one would believe the abuse I suffered because many of you thought he was more truthful because he was Chief Inspector for the Philadelphia Police Department. So many women, children, and men hide in fear because of many who hold high ranking position on any police dept.. 

The one who was suppose to love and protect them is the one they feared the most. Now, I am that person in the darkness staring right back at you!

Be blessed my family and friends

THE PEOPLE

Since my case against retired state trooper Anthony Suber, the death of my nephew Angel Trinidad, my sister Edina Trinidad, so many survivors who continue to reach out to me…I sat in silence, each time praying and begging that our legal system, our
politicians, lawmakers, police departments, all over this great United States, would start holding these abuser accountable but I realize a change will never take place.
 
My friends my people, my brother’s and sister’s…We must hold those accountable, we must demand from our Politicians, Law makers, police departments and much more!  Let’s not turn away from the victim or survivor…show them they are not alone!

It is up to each and every one of us to stand up…Not protesting or signing petitions….Do you realize the power in each of us!  Keeping silence is wrong, we the PEOPLE can hold them accountable for not doing the right thing.

Be blessed my family and friends.

PRAYING FOR UNDERSTANDING



Dear lord, when will some understand those who continue to live by your word and stand strong for justice for all victims and survivors of Domestic Violence and Officer Involved Domestic Violence?

Lord my father when, will they understand so many who have survived Domestic Violence want to live a normal happy life.  Their experience of abuse is a struggle they will live with for the rest of their lives.  Lord our God, forgive me for my anger, they took my sight, they took my independence, and they took away my faith in those who are supposed to protect us, LAW ENFORCEMENT.

You sent your only son to us and mankind abused and killed your son.  We continue to kill and abused are daughters and sons.  The ignorance and blindness of so many will continue to abuse and kill our children.

Dear God, I have moved on but I must keep my memories to protect myself.  I will never forget the damage that has been caused to myself and to so many.  Mankind, so desperately need your love and protection.  Thank you father for giving me the strength, to help others.
Be blessed always,
