RIP Michael Brown

Also while watching and reading up on the news, I ran into this Michael Brown story

In a nutshell, Michael Brown (unarmed) was shot multiple times by a police officer in Ferguson, Missouri and died from it.

I don't like cops as much as the next person and things like this are sickening. From the stories and things the witnesses say, that young man did not deserve to get shot. He put his hands up to the officer, showing he is giving up... He didn't deserve to die like that.

I believe everyone has the right to use their weapon ONLY when they're life is threatened. (Stand your ground)

But another thing that gets me is the public reaction to what happened..

Is all the violence and looting really necessary? I bet if I get shot tomorrow, no one will react to my death to that extreme. All the looting and violence cannot bring Michael Brown back!

The violence doesn't help the situation. Instead of coming together as a community and supporting the family in peaceful protests and preventing further unnecessary violence, people do dumb shit like this. (Excuse my french)

This does nothing but hurt more people and cause more unnecessary shootings and injuries.. Think people..

RIP Nelson Mandela

I know I am late saying this but former President of South Africa, Nelson Mandela died on December 5th of this year. He was a truly inspirational person and fought for his people's freedom in South Africa. He fought the apartheid that was going on in South Africa, which is like the Jim Crow laws here in America. He went to jail for 27 years for treason for being against the apartheid. Upon his release in 1990,later on he was elected President. He was in office from 1994 to 1999.. He fought for what he believed in from the start. He was a good man in the eyes of many.

There's a lot of things people didn't know about Nelson Mandela, which was listed in a CNN news article and I found it very interesting

I found it very interesting that he wasn't removed from the U.S. Terror Watchlist until 2008.. And I liked how he had a cameo in a Spike Lee film as a civil rights teacher.

Mandela will truly be missed by many. Rest in Peace

ANARCHY

So I recently heard on Sourcefed (what I watch instead of real news) that there is or was a possibility of a government shut down. And as I am researching this, we are actually in it right now. All this for Obamacare? Republicans didn't want to fund it while Democrats were all for it. Personally, this doesn't change my place in society. Politics isn't my thing, I am neither Democratic nor Republican so I guess I will label myself as independent. But according to my voter's registration, I'm democratic. I need to fix that. I mean there isn't anything wrong with either party. Republicans, in my eyes, are the old school Christian people that like the way things were run before. Democrats, to me, are all for changing to help the lower class rise from the ashes. There isn't anything wrong with that, I hear a lot of people say that those who are part of the Democratic party are lazy and just want the government to give them free things. For all those who I've heard say that, I would like to say Fuck you. Not every democrat is lazy and want free things, just like not every Republican is a rich,racist, cracker. People should really put themselves in another person's shoes before they JUDGE. Some democrats in this nation need help from the government to help take care of their family. Growing up, my parents were on food stamps to buy me and my siblings food, if it wasn't for those food stamps I would have gone days without eating. In fact, I actually did go days without eating because sometimes when my dad made a little more money we didn't qualify. Not every republican is a rich, racist, cracker. I know plenty of middle class minorities who are republicans. But anyway back to the shutdown, I didn't realize we were in one... So now what? wait until congress compromises? HA!

More News with Syria

Well according to the US secretary of state John Kerry it turns out that 1,429 people were killed in the chemical attack in Damascus last week. And that in actuality the government in fact carried out the chemical attack.

I know British parliament isn't taking any actions but most likely our superhero country of the United States will take action. I think they may actually be taking action.

Funny I also heard Syria respond by saying they are prepared to confront military aggression against them...

When will the war end and peace begin in this world?

More important current events..Syria

For those of you out there that don't know where Syria is, it is an Arabic country that is going through some drama right now. If you don't know about their drama, you should definitely turn on the news because I believe it can affect us.

To clarify what happened on August 21st of this year there was an alleged chemical attack in a suburban neighborhood in Damascus. Allegedly the chemical attack was used to rid the government of their rebels that are against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. But until the United Nations inspectors can find evidence of that, we can only assume.. Mind you I haven't watched the news today so I am in the dark to any current updates.

But I know that there are reports claiming that President Obama wants to step in and send a military response to Syria to prevent them from using chemical weapons again. I know he currently hasn't stepped in as far as I know.
