The City of Ferguson Missouri a Suburb of St. Louis Along With the Rest Of the Nation Is In Outrage Over The Shooting of Michael Brown


On August 9, 2014 in the City of Ferguson Missouri another armed African American teen was shot to death by a Caucasian Police Officer, Darren Wilson, 28. When I first heard of this shooting, the first thing that came to mind was they got another one. I also said the police officer Darren Wilson, was going to get away with it. On November 24, 2014 the Grand Jury decided not to indict Darren Wilson. That was not anything new, it was just another African American. This has been going on for hundreds of years and it will continue as long as we have this prejudice legal system. Yes, I said it the legal system is so prejudice against people of color it is outrageous! After the verdict was read protester in the streets expressed how they felt and it was nothing nice. The protesters in Ferguson Missouri torn the streets up burned down buildings, now they are under a curfew. In Oakland California protesters shut down streets and a freeway. New York City had riots after the verdict was announced. Boston also had protesters voicing the outrage. This was not just one race fueling their indignation it was people of all races. What we can do as a people, is to keep voicing our disgrace for injustice and just maybe the legal system will change.

Dzhokhar Tsarnaev Last Boston Marathon Bomber Captured Alive



The City of Boston can finally rest and start the healing process. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was captured by authorities on April 20, 2013. Authorities said he gave up timidly by raising is shirt. This cowardly act by these two brothers made me sick. The older brother Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26 and who was killed on April 19, 2013. He was said to have brain washed the younger brother. I feel the Dzhokhar Tsarnaev knew right from wrong. He was educated. He had a choice to listen to his older brother when he started talking crazy and made it the wrong choice. Did the FBI drop the ball on Tamerlan Tsarnaev? Yes they did! A foreign government told the FBI in early 2011 that Tamerlan Tsarnaev was a follower of radical Islam. The FBI said they interviewed Tamerlan Tsarnaev and relatives they did not find any domestic or foreign terrorism activity. The uncle of the two Boston bombers had concerns about Tamerlan Tsarnaev. When in a 2009 phone conversation Tamerlan told him that he had chosen “God’s business” over work or school. In an interview with WBZ-TV in Boston the uncle referred to Tamerlan as a “loser”. If the uncle was so concerned he should have reported it to the authorities. Like the uncle said when he was interview when authorities were looking for Dzhokhar Tsarnaev how the two brothers brought shame to the family and the whole ethnicity of their people. Instead he told a family friend that Tamerlan Tsarnaev had been influenced by a recent convert to Islam, a lot of good that did. As of now Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is in the hospital recovering from a gun-shot to the neck. Authorities are saying it was self-inflicted. He is communicating with authorities as of April 22, 2013. The authorities want to know if there are other explosive devices anywhere and who else was involved. This story will be unfolding in the weeks to come so check back for more information.

The City of Boston Being Terrorized and Paralyzed



The City of Boston can’t catch a break after the bombing at the Boston Marathon on April 1, 2013. The City of Boston and it's surrounding area is on locked down. Everyone is asked to shelter in place. Mass transit is shut down. There is a massive manhunt for the second suspect in the marathon bombing. This all started with two brothers Tamerlan Tsarnaev and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev when their photos were released by the FBI. As soon as the photos were released information about the identity of the suspects started pouring in. The two brothers went on a robbing, killing and shooting spree. Tamerlan Tsarnaev and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev robbed a 711 store and then fatally shot police officer Sean Collier 26 while he sat in his vehicle on MIT campus at 10:20 p.m. on April 18, 2013. Then the two brother’s carjacked a Mercedes SUV kidnapping the driver and holding him for a half-hour and robbing the drivers ATM account for $800.00. They released the man. He was unharmed. A police chase ensued. They sped toward Watertown throwing explosive devices out the window at the police. Then a shoot-out with the police resulted in the shooting of the older brother Tamerlan Tsarnaev. He had bombs strapped to his body when he was shot. He was pronounced dead at Mount Auburn Hospital. 19 year old Dzhokhar Tsarnaev got away by busting through a police barricade. He is the one who has the City of Boston paralyzed. What made these two brothers do what they did? We probably won’t know because when they find Dzhokhar Tsarnaev I don’t think he is not going to be taken alive. I just hope they hurry up and find Dzhokhar Tsarnaev before he does any more damage to the people of Boston. Come back for more information updates on “The City of Boston Being Terrorized and Paralyzed”.

Tragedy At The Boston Marathon


 


On April 15, 2013, which is tax day, some very disturbed individual or individuals set off bombs at the finish line of the Boston Marathon. When I first heard this I thought of 911. A pressure cooker filled with metal, nails, ball bearings and other shrapnel was used in the bombing. There were three people killed, out of the three dead was an eight year old boy. A total of 170 people were injured. The authorities are asking people around the finish line that were taking pictures or using their phone to contact them so they can look through footage. The Boston Marathon attracts people from all around the world. An 11 year old boy from Martinez California was at the finish line, to see his mother cross when the bombs went off. He is in critical condition. President Obama said "This was a heinous and cowardly act, and given what we now know about what took place, the FBI is investigating it as an act of terrorism," and "Anytime bombs are used to target innocent civilians, it is an act of terror." Who is responsible for this cowardly act? We will find out in the days to come. This was a sad day for people all over. Is this going to be what we have to worry about bombings, like over in Iraq? I sure hope not. My prayers go out to all the people who were hurt by this dreadful act.
