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.

May Day Protest Got Out of Hand in Oakland and San Francisco

The May Day protests got out of hand in Northern California. In Oakland it started off peaceful, then by noon time the trouble makers started up with the Oakland Police. Some protesters with black shields with the letter “A” on it shoved the police lines, threw things at the police, pounded on police vehicles, threaten the police with a pole, 23 people were arrested. The Oakland Police in my opinion did very good to keep their composure with all they had to deal with that day. These Anarchists are trouble makers and they cause a perfectly peaceful and relevant protest to become tainted with things that they do. Thinking bad press will help the protest. Not only does the Anarchist do stupid things. In San Francisco 2 men threw pipes and bricks from on top of a building at the San Francisco police. They hit one man in the crowd in the head. What in the world was this dummy trying to prove? People like this in my opinion deserve to get treated the way they do from law enforcement because they don’t have in regards for others.

Occupy Wall Street Movement In Cities All Over America

.

It is about time! People all over America are saying ENOUGH! Is ENOUGH! They are protesting some of the wealthiest executives in America jeering, “Tax the rich!” and “Where’s my bailout?” Protesters have been arrested in Washington D.C. for protesting inside a U.S. Senate office Building. In Northern California the Bay Area is starting its movement. The San Jose Occupy Wall Street protesters are remaining polite while they receive citations. Mayor Chuck Reed on Tuesday said he hopes the protesters have an impact on the Obama administration’s willingness “to do something about the lying, stealing and cheating going on in Wall Street, “ he said. “I didn’t hear anybody out there complaining about Apple making big profits, “he said. “So it’s not just corporate greed in general. It’s a little more targeted than that. “San Jose Mayor Reed said San Jose filed a law suit against some Wall Street investment banks for “ripping us off on some bond issuances. “ A city official in Oakland has joined the Occupy Wall Street cause to show solidarity to the cause. New York protesters are demonstrating outside buildings of Rupert Murdoch media mogul, Jamie Dimon JP Chase Chairman and CEO and David Koch oil tycoon where they have homes. The Occupy Wall Street protesters in San Francisco protested in front of the Federal Reserve Bank. In San Ramon protesters, protested the government’s subsidization of Big Oil companies at the Chevron’s corporate headquarters. Palo Alto and Walnut Creek are protesting against banks, because of the bail out they received. Some Republicans are accusing the demonstrators of wagging a “class war.” If they would open their eyes they would see that the economy is not going to improve if they keep trying to keep it the way it has been for years people want to work. I am a person who feels that everyone should pay their fair share of taxes. It doesn’t matter if your rich or poor you should pay what you owe. It is not fair for the rich to keep getting rich just because the government has had this 2 percent “millionaires” tax for years. It is well over due to end this is a outrageous tax and stop given the wealthy and the corporation any more tax breaks and bail outs. It is time for a New Deal, people should be taxed according to what they make and not given breaks because their rich…
