Woman gets 20 year sentence for defending herself
Twelve minutes, that is all it took. Just twelve minutes. In twelve minutes the jury had convicted Marissa Alexander of a criminal offense that carried a mandatory 10-20 year term. Frankly, some juries take longer to decide which restaurant they are going order from. The... How civil asset forfeiture allows police to take your money
Civil asset forfeiture is where the government can take your property, even if they never convicted you of an offense. It's a blatant violation of due process. But, we as Americans allow government to get away with it. Why? Well, part of the problem are the anti-drug zealots.... Edit the bible and no Torahs for women at the Wailing Wall?
Piers Morgan, the host of a nightly talk show host on the cable channel CNN, believes we should edit the bible. I agree with him, we should. Or, at least ignore it. He said the bible and the U.S. Constitution are "inherently flawed." Well, the Constitution is a lot less... Would Bruno Mars be safe walking streets of NYC?
If you are a young black or latino man in New York City, like the star singer Bruno Mars, the 4th Amendment does not really apply to you. It does in theory, and arguably it still does somewhat in part, but not really on the streets of the city. That is not to say that a young... Gay dog to be executed and Piers Morgan deported?
Elton is a dog that was brought to a shelter to be "put to sleep" because the owner believed he was gay. Thankfully, Elton the dog was spared a death because of the owner's homophobia. Many people have want to adopt Elton. Now, this is how hostile and anti-gay some people are... How the religious right tell former addicts to hate gays
There are many people in the religious right who had lived, before they supposedly found their deity, a screwed up life. They were alcoholics. They were on drugs. Cocaine, heroin etc. They were depressed and suicidal. Well, once they find religion they judge gays as wicked.... The war on prostitution (and sex) needs to end
I don't agree with John Stossel about everything but I definately agree with him that the government must end the twin wars on drugs and prostitution. Of course prostitution that involves women forced into it is should and continue to be illegal but many sex workers enjoy... Police abuses once again including 12 year old in handcuffs
Here are more examples of police violating the basic liberties of their fellow citizens. I wish that there came a time when there weren't more examples, but sadly I can't even write about all of them, unless I devote my column to just police abuses, and no other issues. In...

Bloomberg Picking a Puppet For Mayor
New York - With less than a year left on his tainted third term, Mayor Michael Bloomberg is personally selecting a successor -- auditioning puppet candidates for the mayoral elections that will be held this fall.... Why the NRA doesn't represent gun owners
The NRA has opposed background checks on all gun purchases, do you know who agrees with them? Terrorists, in particular Al Qaeda terrorists. Al Qaeda spokesman Adam Gadahn stated:"America is absolutely awash with easily obtainable firearms. You can go down to a gun show at... If you make $500/hour as a sex worker, are you really a victim?
Prostitution in the vast majority of the U.S. is illegal. Period. Even when there is no victim. Now if someone is forced into prostitution, than yes, there is a clear victim. If someone is underaged. If someone can't reasonably consent. In all these cases, go after those who... Drones Over New York City?

Police do strip search on the side of the road for drugs
As you might be aware, there are Milwaukee cops who have committed illegal and unconstitutional cavity searches on the streets of Milwaukee. All in the name of the War on Drugs, of course. Well, this isn't much of a surprise, there are police doing this in other parts of the... Why the government should not say your god is true
