This Friday, it will be one year since the slaying of Fouad Kaady by the police. It will be just over 11 months since his killers were let off the hook during a secret and stacked grand jury proceeding. It will be nearly 8 months since the Clackamas County Sheriff's Office released a gushing report exhonerating the killers and smearing the name of the victim. Yes, it's been a long, hard road for the Kaady family this past year. And it's high time for justice. Maybe, just maybe, the time has finally come.

Samira Kaady reports today that her family, with the help of the Spence Law Firm, has just filed a lawsuit to demand that justice finally be served. May it be served on a platter of policy changes, melted down tasers, and badges that must be turned in. Because something must change, and someone must pay. Someone must be made to cry for redemption after what they did to Fouad Kaady. Someone must be held responsible for the torturing to death of an injured, innocent young man. Someone must pay for the viscious words of police state propaganda that poured forth from the lips of the corporate media shills to skewer the very name of the victim of this crime, as if his blood and his heart were not enough. Someone must remind the officers and the gentlemen of the Clackamas County Sheriff's Office and the Sandy police force that they are not immune to the sword of justice though they may hide behind their badges.

Fouad Kaady Memorial Service

Fouad's family has invited anyone who would like to share a few moments to remember Fouad, to a memorial service, on Sunday, September 10, at 11:00 a.m., at the St George Antiochian Orthodox Church, 2101 SE 162nd, Portland, Oregon.

Fouad, you will remember, was the young man who was murdered by a "peace" officer (Bergin) from Sandy, and a Clackamas County Deputy (Willard), on September 8, 2005. Many details of this case have been reported on this site in the past, and links to those stories will follow, as will details of the law suit, which was filed by his family and the Spence Law Firm yesterday. Those who cannot attend the memorial should check this site often, for the release date of a film which is being produced by Videoistas from Portland Indymedia. Stay tuned, and always remember what the police are capable of, in the name of protecting our peace.
