Too Much Doubt Over Troy Davis Yet Clemency Denied

Troy Davis has been in jail since 1991 for the shooting death of police officer Mark MacPhail. He’s set to be executed tomorrow. However, the US justice system has to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt or reasonable doubt to keep you locked up and take away your life. Apparently there is beyond a reasonable doubt in Troy Davis’ case however he’s still set to die tomorrow September 21, 2011 at 7pm. Cops don’t like when you shoot people. Cops REALLY don’t like when you shoot other Cops. However, it seems that in this case there is a lot...

9/11 First Responders Not Invited To 10 Year Memorial Either

The 10 year anniversary date of the September 11 tragedy is getting closer. The 10 year memorial event will be held in New York City at the new 9/11 Memorial. As with many Big Apple extravaganzas, the guest list is exclusive. Actual survivors of the devastation of what happened on 9/11 aren’t on the list and it also appears that the first responders aren’t either. Mayor Bloomberg is again citing the same excuse that there is not enough space to accommodate those that answered the call and put their lives at risk to help their fellow human beings. These are...
