“LaVena Johnson (1985-2005), an American soldier, was the first female soldier from Missouri to die in the Iraq War. The Army called it suicide. Her parents say she was beat up, raped, shot in the head and then dragged to a storage tent that was set on fire to destroy the evidence.”

A 22-year-old man running home naked after his clothes were taken died after being shot in Florida by a shooter who has not been charged with a crime.
He leaves behind a 3-year-old daughter and a distressed mother. Now, his family wants answers, and someone held accountable. They wonder why Laguerre has not been arrested. The family has started a facebook page, Justice4Jandei, and a petition on Change.org calling on Florida authorities to charge Laguerre in the case.
Mexica Movement met with ceo of American Latino Museum on Friday 12/6/13.
When we initially rsvp’d to attend the townhall we were disrespected and denied entrance to attend. After a few emails, we agreed to meet with them in person, and not by phone as they initially proposed. We met with Estuardo Rodriguez, the CEO of the museum and explained to him in much detail why we were not Latinos and how this museum was genocidal. After an hour we came to the agreement that he would allow us the last words of the townhall, all 5 minutes of it. We agreed. The townhall was mainly made up of vendido academics and artists who displayed no interest in representing our people. Known ex-chicanos were proud of embracing the concept of latino. Stay tuned for the video to come. The campaign continues. Check out the report written by the American Latino Museum yourself:

Criminal Defense Attorney Mark Geragos Says “There is Nothing Just About the Criminal Justice System”
At 1:48 legal analyst Sunny Hostin asks a question about no prison time for a person who murdered four people: “Is it just?”
Criminal defense attorney Mark Geragos replies,
“There is nothing just about the criminal justice system”.
and
“If you are looking for justice, you don’t go into the halls of justice.”
Part one of Anderson’s exclusive interview with Dick Miller, psychologist in the center of the “affluenza” case.
A teen YOUNGER than this teen was sent to jail for 10 years for accidentally killing one person – by the same judge.
The teen from this new tragedy illegally drank, illegally drove 70 MPH in a 40 MPH zone, illegally murdered, illegally fled the scene of the crime, yet nobody calls him illegal.
The psychologist is not interested in punishing, he’s interested in helping the teen. He wishes every kid could go to rehab instead of prison.
The wealthy dad is paying for the “vacation punishment” for his son.
Our society will spend money to incarcerate black and brown law breakers, but not to rehabilitate them.
Our (in)justice system boils down to who our society loves and protects vs who our society demonizes and imprisons like animals.

“Bronx resident Kalief Browder was walking home from a party when he was abruptly arrested by New York City police officers on May 14, 2010. A complete stranger said Browder had robbed him a few weeks earlier and, consequently, changed the 16-year-old’s life forever.
Browder was imprisoned for three years before the charges were dropped in June 2013, according to a WABC-TV Eyewitness News investigation.
At the time of the teen’s arrest, Browder’s family was unable to pay the $10,000 bail. He was placed in the infamously violent Rikers Island correctional facility, where he remained until earlier this year.”
Kudos to this man for not taking the plea deal. The plea deal is bullsh*t that would have given him a permanent record making it nearly impossible for him to get a job at most companies for the rest of his life. #NewJimCrow
And remember, this happened in the “Freedom Loving” United States. Freedom for who?

Waitress Dayna Morales says she was stiffed on a $93 bill because the family she served didn’t approve of her lifestyle.
I see. The customer was happy to be served by this woman who they didn’t approve of, but then didn’t want to pay for the service.
