Justice Goes Deaf at Rap Music Trial.- Part Three

Nine criminal defendants are not the only ones who are on trial, here, in a San Diego, California courtroom. This trial, it turns-out, is more about the American legal system. Today, this court's irrational decisions, as attested to by the raised eye brows, sideways glances and sharp words of each of the nine defense attorneys present, proved, beyond a reasonable doubt, that the criminal sat, not...

A View to a Kill- The Police Killing of Evan Kwik (a true story)

One. Two. Three. Four uniformed police passed my window... moving silently, even paced, side-by-side, thirty feet from where I sit.

A View to a Kill.(PART TWO): Slipping Into Darkness.

With one more gargantuan push I heave my ballerina-like hulk through the clustered thicket of towering bamboo, and over a flimsy webbed-wire fence that was more than doing its job well.

A View to a Kill (PART FIVE): Epitaph

A truck was coming, high beams piercing my shuttered eye lids. Police. So, I got up and moved to the side. The early-morning freeze just letting up, dew settling on the leaves and on my shoulders.

A Freight Train of Opposition: The EU Vote.

While EU leaders and their Washington sympathizers marginalize, rationalize, and excuse away Sunday’s historic European Union parliamentary election results, they deliberately avoid the greater point of concern.

Mr. Obama…you mean American, “Accept-ionalism?”

Dear Mr. Obama, We cannot thank you enough for providing this past week a detailed and visually militarized definition of your failing country’s,“exceptionalism.” On May 28, 2014, to the cheers of budding West Point Military Academy cadets, you could not hear the global guffaws of laughter in response to your twisted excuses for this sad … Read More
