Thornwell (1981) | Glynn Turman Howard Rollins, Jr 

This movie about James Thornwell was reality for so many people who became victims of this society of racism and fascism. After polygraphing the entire unit that Thornwell was in they made him the scapegoat simply because he knew who he was. He was an intellectual who was also cultured and spiritual. The evils were the agencies, the army that wanted to keep him in control. They kept asking him what happened to the documents. He told them that he knew nothing about what was missing. I believe that they were just hell bent on ruining an intelligent black man’s life. I speak from experience, because I have experienced injustice due to what someone has said about me. The truth is when you are outnumbered, and black the powers that be won’t believe the truth if it slapped them in the face. That’s how evil oppressors operate. I hope that at the end that Thornwell found solace and happiness . It was an inhuman treatment that was done to Thronwell. I also hope that his family were able to be compensated for what was done to Mr. James Thornwell. 😢 In December 5, 1980 the US Army did award Mr. Thorn with $625,000 for the hardship that he endured. To me that was crumbs. 😢😭😢🤬😱

He is not dead!

I guess you forgot his name: Glynn Turman, jr. LIAR!!

@@barneyronnie you must have an emotional issue going on to be so triggered by someone you don't even know. I didn't forget his name, It was Glynn Russell Turman. We called him Glynn or Jr to tease him because he looked and sound just like his father. He was my friend and is very missed.

@@RainRelaxRadio Well, I knew the original Mr. Thornwell. Was just curious about the incorrect spellings. The government destroyed James' life. Take care.

@@barneyronnie That's very very interesting about know Mr. Thornwell. I am not a typer, I type with two fingers very fast like a news reporter from the 1950s so I'll misspell words sometimes. Most of the time I read what I write but sometimes I miss things or may not read it if its a quick reply. I mean to spell Glynn's name Turman. I sure would like to know more about the real Mr. Thornwell.

@@RainRelaxRadio I apologize for coming across as rude. Technology sometimes makes it Easier to misspell words which is ironic. James was a shell of a human being, suffering intense panic attacks, horrible anxiety and a persistent feeling of unreality/depersonalization. He and I were both enrolled in a research study for extreme anxiety at USC. He struck me as a VERY intelligent man, but the LSD torture produced so much damage to his psyche that it was impossible for James to recover. His ability to concentrate was virtually nonexistent, and he told me that the cause involved intrusive thoughts and hallucinations. It seemed as though he had the worst case of ADD that people had ever seen. Sometimes, we were asked to complete a task, like taking a bus. One time he began screaming and crying on the bus and wanted off. He'd forgotten why we were on the bus and the destination. That man suffered more than anybody I had ever known. After the study, we would occasionally talk on the phone, but eventually he forgot who I was. I cried for him and his living hell. His large settlement did nothing to make him happy. He occasionally could dazzle people by amazing math calculations in his head. Finally, he never took his suffering out on others. I knew him long ago for a short time, but can still remember that on rare occasions when he smiled, it lit up the room. RIP James (Never Again)

What kind of page turner’s, in Portland Oregon, and when??

@@venetiakelley Russian classics like Dostoyevsky and Tolstoy or American classics like Salinger or Rand. In the mid to late 1990s.

H was using his wit. After so many times of being interrogated, any human being will result to sarcasm and cynicism when pushed to the limits. Good example of how false confessions are obtained.

Never say never. Folks have ways to get to you. Never say NEVER.

@@467-k1m Under these circumstances I would NEVER admit to something I didn't do. First of all I would say nothing and ask for an attorney.

@@467-k1m I would ask for an attorney and say nothing. I have been there and done that.

Blessings to you and your son.

Thank you so much for your concern Appreciated Janice Harley

Sorry to hear that!! It is extremely tough for black men in this country.

probably was misplaced or thrown in the trash. If the papers were left on the desk for anyone to access, well that would explain the carelessness of the woman for not securing those papers.

Don't believe they were ever mislaid. All I know is, I didn't take the documents.

Those monsters murdered.

Unbelievable pressure this mam endured , ! From , France Police , America CIA & Military !
