Army pays $725 to WWII vet for unfair trial, imprisonment - "Good luck America..."
Army pays $725 to WWII vet for unfair trial, imprisonment
Twenty-eight black soldiers were sent to prison after an Italian prisoner of war, Guglielmo Olivotto, was found hanged to death following a night of brawling at Fort Lawton in Seattle, Washington.
At a time when the military forces were segregated, 41 black soldiers were tried in one large group and were provided two attorneys to defend them all.
According to the Army, 28 of the soldiers were convicted of rioting, including Pvt. Samuel Snow, who spent 15 months behind bars.
Two of those soldiers also were convicted of manslaughter in the death of the POW and sentenced to 15 years in prison. Thirteen of the men were acquitted.
After being released from prison, Snow returned to the segregated South. He arrived home with a criminal record, a bad conduct discharge and no benefits such as those provided by the GI Bill of Rights. He became a janitor.

Crazy shit
"Florida Tazer Incident at John Kerry speech"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SaiWCS10C5s
Watch to the very end
"that's the sound of democracy"
-all i had to say
given he was technically resisting arrest... But there is plenty of argument for acessive force, I mean he really wasn't threating to hurt anyone...at all. Sure the skull an cross bone shit was a little over the top and granted im no expert on the issue but how he was treated does seem rediculous not to mention Kerry... But what can you say?

If you look at the other video of what happen afterwards he was saying several times that he was afraid the police were going to kill him, while asking why he was being arrested. So unfortunately they can probably argue something to the extent of 'he was paranoid, disturbing the peace, resisting arrest, refusing to tell his name...' I mean they can argue his behavior made them believe he was volatile and irrational and might lash out and thought his behavior was threatening, but that is ridiculous, he we too articulate to be crazy, he was attempting to finish his question. They tased the SHIT out of the kid so how would you react after that shit? sure you might not say these cops are going to kill me and hide the body, but if you are somebody who might have heard that could happen if you fuck with the government and believe it then you might just flip the fuck out after something like that and you say crazy shit when you panic.
Im disappointed in the situation...
Ive said to much when there is really very little to be said

AND also from wiki: found this flipping thru a list of conspiracy theories, from the classic jews running the world to the cure for AIDS and cancer. I thought i'd share one of my favorites. I couldnt stop laughing when I read this one.
"Evil aliens:
A somewhat different version of this theory maintains that humanity is actually under the control of shape-shifting alien reptiles, who require periodic ingestion of human blood to maintain their human appearance. David Icke has been a devoted proponent of this theory.[27] Reportedly the Bush family and the British Royal Family are actually such creatures, and Diana, Princess of Wales was aware of this, presumably relating to her death.[27]David Icke's theory, which encompasses many other conspiracy theories, is that humanity is actually under the reptillians; with evidence ranging from Sumerian tablets describing the "Anunnaki" (which he translates as "those who from heaven to earth came"), to the serpent in the Biblical Garden of Eden, to child abuse and fluoridation. This theory has been the subject of several books"
Tony Blair and George Bush running around at night sucking on peoples blood.... HAHAHAHA
