The injustice of England
2008-05-29 06:40:00 Fearless blogger Lionheart tells us, "An update on my situation with regards to my arrest on suspicion of stirring up racial hatred through written material on my blog.??I was arrested, and placed in a police cell for hours, then questioned over the police investigation into me and my blog several months back.??I was bailed without charge to attend the police station yesterday to answer bail to see whether or not I am going to be charged with the offence and put before a British Court, or whether they did not really have enough on me for this case against me to be in the public interest to be brought before a British Court and then released without charge.??Due to the charge, the case load has to go to the CPS and then to the Department of Public Prosecutions for them to decide whether or not to place me on trial.??I was re-bailed again yesterday to appear at the police station once again in two months time to see whether or not they are closer to making a decision on me and my cas...

A Horrible Horrible Case of Injustice
2008-05-14 09:49:00 Ray, This is an awesome site. I fought through the guardianship system until finally when all my mother's assets were gone they said here you can be her guardian now. I became her guardian to help her. It was hard but they cannot hurt her anymore. It cost her $200,000, it cost me $30,000 and now I am being sued for $20,000 when $60,000 we have proven was stolen and the judge said the guy has to return it. It has been a nightmare. My mother suffered in a home in a State far away from where I live. Her hip was broken. Her caregivers would not help and would not get her to a doctor. Adult Protective Services was called they told me to file for guardianship to help her. I did and it was contested. In the meantime the court appointed several attorney ad litems and guardians until her money was gone. I have paid attorneys all I can. It is a horrible horrible case of injustice because now the guardianship system is going after me and my assets. Please can I call you or can you call me at ...

2008-04-25 13:50:00 'As much as things change, the more they stay the same,' DJ Drama says of acquitted police detectives.By Shaheem Reid, with additional reporting by Rahman Dukes Al Sharpton at his National Action Network headquarters on Friday Photo: MTV News Unadulterated anger, confusion but certainly not shock are some of the feelings that members of the hip-hop community have expressed about the verdict in the Sean Bell case. Three New York police detectives were acquitted Friday morning (April 25) of any wrongdoing in the Bell case. Bell was shot 50 times by the cops, who claim they thought he had gun after leaving his bachelor party in Queens. Investigations proved he was unarmed. "This is just another example that the justice system in America views a black life as worthless," Ice Cube bluntly fumed in a statement.

If that happened, every living creature became a polluter and then the EPA would take control over every breathing animal. The same tactic has been used with carcinogens. There have been attempts to use carcinogens to ban everything from barbeque grills to cigarette smoking in your own homes. Imagine a world where breathing is control by the government.

Injustice - Long Story
2008-02-26 20:41:00 I just thought I'd share this horrible story, to show that there's a double standard of fairness when talking about the public/renters and LLs. It was on TruTV(CourtTV) last night.Two brother were drug suppliers to dealers. They took $5k from some drug dealers(in another state) and promised them 9lbs of pot. They skipped town and stole the money. The drug dealers came looking for them at their sister's house. They scoped out the house for many hours in a stolen car. When they couldn't find them, they broke the back, sliding glass door windows and abducted their sister.The two brothers did not want to get in trouble, so they withheld information from the police so they would not get busted for drugs. After a few days, the police knew something was wrong with the story, and the brothers did not confess until the police told them they would not bust them for drugs. The police finally found the 4 abductors and the girl, who had been beaten, raped, killed, and buried in the wo...
The Greatest Injustice in Human History
2008-02-22 15:06:00 If I were developing a list of the people who most need to go away and leave the rest of us alone, it would not begin with Britney Spears or Lindsay Lohan. Nor would I start off with Barry Bonds or Roger Clemens. Pat Robertson wouldn't earn the top spot and neither would actor-turned-ubiquitous-pitchma-n Dennis Hopper. Instead, entry number one on my list of people who need to go away would be the 2006 Duke University lacrosse team.I assume everyone knows the back story. A group of athletes, nearly all white and well heeled, hired two African American exotic dancers for an evening of political symbolism…er, I mean boys-will-be-boys hijinks. Precisely what happened from there is a matter of dispute, but by the time the night ended, racial epithets were allegedly tossed about and one of the dancers persuaded the district attorney to charge three of the players with sexual assault.The national media, of course, found the spectacle irresistible. There was the racial angle. There was t...

Poetic injustice: Redskins lose by 21 to Seattle
2008-01-06 05:02:00 The inspiration of the late #21 Sean Taylor drove the Washington Redskins to a playoff spot but it couldn't bring them a playoff victory. The Redskins fell by a sadly ironically 21-point margin to the Seattle Seahawks, 35-14, in the playoffs' wild card round, eliminating Washington from postseason play.Seattle dominated play through three quarters on defense, stalling the Skins' run game and pressuring qb Todd Collins into numerous hurried throws. Washington flipped the game around over just a few minutes early in the fourth quarter, picking up a TD reception to Antwaan Randle El followed by a LaRon Landry interception that led to a Santana Moss touchdown reception for the 14-13 Redskins lead.The game would soon fall apart after that. A drive to score the third touchdown off a kickoff fumble stalled out with kicker Shaun Suisham the missing a chip shot 20-yard field goal attempt. Seattle eventually recovered for an offensive touchdown to retake the lead followed by two intercepti...

Lies, Injustice and the Capitalist Way: We’re on the Highway to Hell — Don’
2007-12-25 13:06:00 by Jason Miller We “Free World” capitalistic Westerners are a loathsome lot — or to put it more crudely, we suck. When one considers how degenerate we are from a collective standpoint, it is difficult to suppress intense feelings of disgust and contempt. There are many layers to our repugnant, depraved, and “beloved” capitalism, a socioeconomic system which ultimately furnishes the members of its upper echelon with de facto licenses to exploit, plunder, and murder with impunity. Problem is that as one peels back each successive layer hoping to find some purity, one finds a more profound rot. We have fouled our own environment to the point that recovery and renewal may be impossible; we eradicate non-human animals at an estimated rate of 100 species per day; we slaughter millions upon millions of human beings in wars of imperial aggression driven by capitalism’s insatiable demand for resources and market expansion; we torture and slaughter billions of non-human animal...

Lee Wayne Hunt I Am Innocent CBS 60 Minutes "Evidence Of Injustice" Video
2007-11-20 17:12:00 For anyone who missed Lee Wayne Hunt on CBS 60 Minutes, I have posted a link to the CBS video called "Evidence Of Injustice".Steve Kroft and The Washington Post's John Solomon report on a flawed forensic tool that has been used in hundreds of court cases, possibly landing innocent people behind bars.The science, called bullet lead analysis, was used by the FBI for 40 years in thousands of cases, and some of the people it helped put in jail may be innocent.As correspondent Steve Kroft reports, one of them is Lee Wayne Hunt, who is now serving a life sentence for murder in North Carolina.--------------------------------------------------------------------Lee Wayne Hunt says he's been behind bars for over 22 years and 6 months, and maintains he's an innocent man. "What I've said from the word get go that I ain't -- never killed nobody. I didn't have nothing to do with this," Hunt tells Kroft.Hunt was convicted in 1986 of murdering two people in Fayetteville, N.C., based on the test...

It is this kind of cynical manipulation by Gordon Brown that we need to make the public aware of:From Dr Ray's Focal Spot blog:Yesterday evening I had an insight into the workings of Nulabours "consultation" process on the planned closure of NHS District General Hospitals and replacementwith dumbed down polyclinics.A few weeks ago invitations to attend a public consultation were sent to consultants at our Trust. We were only given one dayto reply for the meeting in the near future even though we have to give 6 weeksnotice of leave because of "choose and book".Obviously this meant that most of us could not attend but one consultant did take up the invitation.The location of the meeting was kept secret until three days before the event and when this consultant was eventually told the location and turned up in Birmingham for the "Citizens Jury" it turned out that medical staff were outnumbered 2:1 by laypeople specifically chosen by an agency ...

Injustice and the "Jena 6"
2007-09-21 22:16:00 I know I've been out of the loop a bit lately. All apologies. I work. This one has momentarily drawn me to the old keyboard.Most of you by now know of the "Jena 6." These six black teens are charged with attempted murder for almost killing a white student in a brutal beating. Now we see swarms of protesters marching the streets demanding these goons be set free. Add a dash of Al Sharpton and you have newsday gold it seemsThe fact that I have to break down the "why" in this is deafeningly sad.Previously some white students did hang nooses in the town. It was obviously a deplorable thing to do. There is nothing that could be done to condone so ignorant an action.On December 4, about three months after the nooses were discovered, six teens, dubbed the Jena 6, were accused of beating classmate Justin Barker. The six -- Mychal Bell, Robert Bailey Jr., Carwin Jones, Bryant Purvis, Theo Shaw and Jesse Ray Beard -- were originally charged with attempted second-degree murder and conspiracy...

Switzerland: big profits for doing nothing
2007-09-13 17:13:00 Why is Switzerland always allowed a special status? It's as if the world feels humbled by the little land-locked country and wishes to pay homage, in money, of course. Through the alchemy of inventive politicians, it has made 'neutrality' a highly profitable virtue. The tiny country has somehow created a brand that screams 'we're not playing, so don't ask.' And boy has that paid off. Want a safe neutral place for a high-price summit? Switzerland ? they've got fantastic facilities and the passive people are great, they're never going to get in your face. Sure it will be five times more expensive than anywhere else in the world, but, hey, they're neutral, they deserve it. Want a place to build your high-profile international headquarters? Choose Switzerland ? it's beautiful, peaceful and there are fantastic restaurant so who cares about the obscene costs. That's why the Olympics is there.

Upon this injustice
2007-09-02 04:13:00 Nearly 7 years ago, at Urbana 2000 , I attended a late-night worship event at the U of Illinois Assembly Hall. Just a few weeks previous I had returned from my second trip to Thailand. The purpose of the Thailand visit was to research the need for more outreach to bar girls--was the need really that huge, and was there really that little being done about it? Hearing and seeing a resounding yes to both questions, I had returned home with a clear sense of confirmation that God was indeed going to move us here. That night at Urbana, one of the worship songs was Delirious' "Did You Feel the Mountains Tremble" (full lyrics here). It's a rockin' song, and you can't beat screaming it at the top of your lungs in the round along with 18,000 others. Open up the doors and let the music play Let the streets resound with singing Songs that bring your hope Songs that bring your joy Dancers who dance upon injustice My mind began ...
A response to the injustice of the Ateneo OSA
2007-08-29 15:39:00 The SAMAHAN finally expressed their sympathy on the aftermath of Mr. Enriquez' unjust sanction for the nine students who violated the student code of conduct for ID's.

Contained in this poster are the photos and IDs of 9 students who violated the school's policy on IDs.As far as I know, when someone violates a rule stated in the student's handbook, the person guilty of such violation shall be given proper sanctions. Sanctions for certain violations vary depending on its weight. Such things shall be determined by the OSA Director or by the Disciplinary Board. Example of these sanctions are public apology, community service, suspension and expulsion. Not once that I have heard of a rule saying that ...

Iranian Injustice and the Case of Pegah Emambakhsh
2007-08-29 14:29:00 Pegah Emambakhsh, an Iranian lesbian, had her request for asylum rejected by British authorities. Her claim was given the thumbs down in Sheffield on August 13, 2007. She is scheduled to be deported back to Iran, although Pink News reports that Italy has agreed to offer her asylum.As most of the world knows by now, the Iranian regime has made a virtue out of ruthlessly targeting homosexuals. Many lesbians and gay men have been executed since the Ayatollahs seized power in 1979.Pegah Emambakhsh fled Iran when her partner was arrested, tortured and sentenced to death by stoning. In an effort to discover the whereabouts of Ms Emambakhsh, Iranian authorities arrested her father and subjected him to interrogation and torture. If Ms Emambakhsh is returned to Iran, based on all we know about the record of that country, there is a very good chance she will be tortured and very possibly stoned to death. Although with the international spotlight on this case the Iranians may decide on a less...
