Ramarley Graham shot dead by NYPD cops as they enter his home without warrant New York City, NY - As you can see by the video, a man enters his Bronx home as NYPD police are in pursuit and forcibly enter his...
Freedom's end At this link is a fabulous photo documentary of the tearing down of Occupy DC at Freedom Plaza, McPherson Square. The photos capture and record some of the agony of the protest and artifacts from the...
Time to go With unemployment dropping and the Occupy movement getting bad press for flag burning and hacking, it was time to move on the tents. There was marginal return on protests, apparently. If the President...
In the city of San Francisco you can be arrested for intent to solicit a prostitute. This is something of a thought crime. If the government believes you intended enough to do an action, though you never agreed to do that action, than it is a crime. For example, if you make...
I wrote recently about police demanding I.D. from citizens without a reasonable suspicion of a crime. Well, this is one more example of what I am talking about. In this case, after a horrible shooting at the state capitol building in Austin, Texas, a Texas state...
In this case four Occupy San Diego protestors were arrested after interrupting the mayor of that city's speech. I am not really that opposed to their arrest. In a public assembly one doesn't have an absolute right to yell a protest. It's a balancing act between...
[Sanjiv and Shweta Bhatt are caring hosts to their guests. The large and yet simple Bhatt residence oozes warmth from all corners. This home, that has nurtured this brave family to do what is right before might, leads me to understand them a little better. Over a cup of...

I am reporting that three weeks ago, at 16 weeks of pregnancy, I got attacked and beaten by more than one stalker at Walmart. They attacked me without provacation and with...
Here is a winner for the audacity award. A citizen named Matthew Stewart growing marijuana for personal medical reasons in Utah, has police break into his house after a knock, and a cop unfortunately is shot and killed by him. This is not the first time that someone has been...
I have railed against our war on sex laws, especially prostitution laws, in the U.S. Prostitution should be legal and regulated. We don't see the problems with prostitution in Nevada, as in the rest of the U.S. I also favor making marijuana legal, but again, regulated. I have...
Is there anything in the First Amendment which only guarantees a right to freedom of speech for three hours or less? See, I bring this up because in Austin, Texas, a protest at the state capital was stopped because there was a three hour time limit on free speech. It was a...
Can you be arrested for receiving stolen goods, if you didn't know they were stolen in the first place? What if you only suspect they were stolen? I was in New York City one time and some guy ran up to me on the street and asked if I wanted to buy some name brand shirt, I had...
Police in New York have announced a plan to block the city’s New Year’s Eve celebration, contending that its crowd control responsibilities in Times Square interfere with a more essential duty. “The public...
Unfortunately, police who commit crimes typically get away with it. But sometimes, justice prevails. In the case of a Las Vegas man beaten and tased by a cop for filming the officer conducting a traffic stop, the cop has finally gotten fired. In the video the cop violates...
This is a pretty troubling police video down in Champaign, IL. A young man is stopped and arrested. The original offense seems to have been jaywalking. The man refuses, while in handcuffs to produce his I.D. Again, he is already in handcuffs, and is in the back of a police...
