Having researched political assassinations for 35 years, these are the unanswered questions regarding the assassination attempt on former President Trump. The American public is deeply suspicious, being aware that the government is still withholding documents after 60 years in the JFK assassination, and every other political assassination that has occurred, since Kennedy was murdered by the National Security State in November 1963. It continues to resist reasonable inquiries regarding 9/11, the effectiveness of the Covid 19 vaccinations and other significant events. Those asking questions on social media are asking if the negligence of the Secret Service were intentional, a deep state effort to rid the world of Trump. Others wonder if the event was a setup, just two days before the Republican National Convention, and presenting Trump with an enormous photo opportunity of which he took full advantage. Everyone on both sides knows that we can expect a lack of transparency from our leaders.

At the beginning of Conversion, a man tells the story of his first love—and first loss.

At 15, he had a boyfriend whose parents had put him through a doctor’s treatment program in an attempt to convert him to heterosexuality. After classmates discovered the two youths holding hands behind the school, the boyfriend said he was terrified that he’d be sent back into the program.

Later that night, he took his own life.

“Our love killed him,” the man remembers thinking at the time. But, of course, what really killed the boy was society’s problem with homosexuality, as well as the doctor’s attempt to “cure” him through what’s often called “conversion therapy.”

Though this practice is now widely condemned and even illegal in nearly half of U.S. states, thousands of LGBTQ people have been subjected to it down through the years. Three of them tell their stories in Zach Meiners’s new documentary.

Pastor Roscoe D. Robey of the 7th Avenue Community Missionary Baptist Church has helped support the Weinland Park area with his spirituality since 2009. His church has tangibly been a part of Weinland Park’s revitalization, albeit in an aggravating kind of way. And what he’s had to deal with – mixed-use development crowding his church on both sides – could be a “Zone In” harbinger of things to come for those homeowners or small businesses in Columbus’s major corridors.

Just a short walk up from High Street, the church has been a source of help and inspiration for the Weinland Park community for roughly 60 years. The congregation’s summer project of raising money for school supplies is underway, and they are mentoring young boys from the neighborhood who are in trouble, Pastor Robey told the Free Press.

“We have a big thumbprint, and often times when folks get into trouble and need a little help, they can come to us, and they come to us, because I lobby for things downtown,” said the Pastor who is pictured above top left.
