Anti-Healthcare Bigots show their true color
On March 20, 2010 at the our Nation's Capitol, Anti-Healthcare Bigots show their true color. "Rep. Andre Carson, D-Ind., told a reporter that as he left the Cannon House Office Building with Rep. John Lewis, D-Ga., a leader of the civil rights era, some among the crowd chanted "the N-word, the N-word, 15 times." Both Carson and Lewis are black, and Lewis spokeswoman Brenda Jones also said that it occurred."
It was like going into the time machine with John Lewis," said Carson, a large former police officer who said he wasn't frightened but worried about the 70-year-old Lewis, who is twice his age. "He said it reminded him of another time."
Kristie Greco, spokeswoman for Democratic Whip Jim Clyburn, D-S.C., said a protester spit on Rep. Emanuel Cleaver, D-Mo., who is black. Cleaver's office said the protestor was arrested but said the congressman won't press charges.Clyburn, who led fellow black students in integrating South Carolina's public facilities a half century ago, called the behavior "absolutely shocking.""

Young Latina's arrest for doodling
Girl's arrest for doodling raises concerns about school's zero tolerance policy. Clearly, the school officials over reacted to this young girl's behavior.
Her crime was just the words, ["I love my friends Abby and Faith. Lex was here 2/1/10 :)"] written on the classroom desk with an erasable green marker.
For her doodling her love for her friends, Lex was handcuffed, arrested and transported to the police precinct.
The way to stop this is to act now.
Call the NYC Dept of Education, (212) 374-5141;
The Mayor, (212) 374-6807; and
JHS 190 at (718) 830-4970 and demand a change.

Justice may be arriving in the PA hate crime case.
The U.S. Department of Justice use indictions by a federal grand jury connected to a racially motivated killing and alleged police corruption in Shenandoah, PA. The indictments were reached on December 10, 2009. The new federal cases were charged under a hate crime statute that makes it a federal offense to interfere with a person's housing rights on the basis of race through threat or force.
"The people charged are two former high school football players and police officers, including Shenandoah's police chief. Some of the statements made during the attack allegedly included "f--cking Spic" and "Tell your f---king Mexican friends to get the f--k out of Shenandoah." Mr. Ramirez, who suffered a coma, died two days after the attack without ever regaining consciousness. Blunt force trauma to the head was the official cause of death according to the medical examiner, who also ruled it a homicide."
