Judge scraps Katrina bridge lawsuit - She calls blockade reasonable action

I would not be surprised if this happens.

Thanks. I find injustice tragic.

Well that was painful. More of a face-plant for a belief.

Yes it is quite radical but I bet he got a message across.

If that would have happened here, he would have been shot and then helped...

I did not get WHY he jumped.

According to the article he was protesting the government's austerity measures. He was wearing a shirt which read "You've pierced us. You've killed our children's future. Freedom."

No he would have been called a terrorist.

Goodness! And they are not done by a long shot.

I believe you are right it is time to hold our Goverment accountable.

Just where to start is another problem. We can Vote all we want but that does not mean we will get the change we want. We can see that with who is in office now. He ran on the presumption of change. The only change I see is who is in office. So what are we to do pick up arms and get mowed down like grass by an army of our brothers and sisters? Do we start a letter writing campaign just to add to the governments waste bins?

You raise great questions. I sure struggle with the same. One thing for sure being idle will make our lives even worse. If each and everyone put the actions where their mouth is we would make changes. Write, call, oppose, protest. As far as voting goes, we are constantly manipulated by the media. Those who should be voted in do not get the needed attention or getting measured against irrelevant criteria.

If we try to put into action what our mouths are saying we will be held as terrorist. That means we will be held without bail in a jail that nobody has ever heard of in a place that no one has heard of. Don't believe me go fourth and give it a try.

I completely agree with you. We need to work within the law, one injustice at at time.

If It will take a life time of fighting one injustice at a time to get the Goverment to change. Then so be it where do we start? Monosonto? The banks?

We have to stay awake and respond to each and every issue close to your heart. Stand for your beliefs. It will take a lifetime but what choice do we have?

We always have a choice to stand for something or fall for everything..

I can not agree more!

You bring up a good point. To change the current situation many have to be willing to stand firm and tell the truth and then be tortured and renditioned and, You said it "Reeducated." This fact sucks but those in power ARE killers and liars.

I believe it is time to take away that power. just how to do so is the real question.

Thank You :)

That's true. Nothing can be accomplished sitting on the couch.

We must fill up there prisons and refuse the lies through civil disobedience. It will not be nice or easy and many will be beaten and killed just like every other time the people have stood for freedom against fascism and dictators. Civil rights claimed many lives but slowly conciseness is changing and the old racists are dying off.

The prisons are full but with the wrong people. Nothing worth having is ever easy. When we make a stand againest them We will not only be fighting the Goverment but our brothers and sisters that have sworn to protect them. I do not blame them they are only doing what they have been programed to do. To fight them on their terms is to lose. When the time comes we will know to make a stand if not for our freedom then for our future and the future of our children.

I think we should start by giving time limits on the life of corporations , they need to die , BEFORE they take over the world . They are immortal now , so they can spend generations sucking power from the masses . They are like a cancer cell , that does not die as it should .

that would be a good start. Now how do we get that started??

Massive protesting and boycotts of one corporation at a time . Focus like a lazer ...... And boycott till it is dead .

Kind of like me boycotting Wal-Mart it don't do much good but it makes me feel better about myself. So who is next on the list to Boycott?

cowering in the shadows in fear of being sent to guantanamo bay for reeducation.

I sure am in fear of my government.

as we all are. Those that say they are not in fear of our goverment either they are lieing or they are fools.

So true, and we have many fools in America.

Here is how I define it, would the judge call it reasonable to send her own family back to flooded area?

Yes, that does give pause to wonder, doesn't it?

Sure does.

That don't make 'em right !

Yes, that is true

Our judicial system is broken all across US not just South.

That comment is closed minded.

Sure does. Now what?

"Police chiefs should have the discretion and legal authority to limit travel during extremely difficult times after catastrophes such as Katrina," Zibilich said.

Sounds good on paper, wonder how the writers of the CONSTITUTION could have possibly missed including that.....

the implications are worth thinking about.

Thanks fro more info.

+^d.

One one hand, it was a 'human nature" type response,....on the other hand, agents of the LAW should NOT have the constitutional authority to DO THAT under the law.

I think that OTHER HAND has the stronger case.

Solid comment! +^'d

yes you do...you are supposed to be pissed off and produce a credible rant...this is current! ;-)

lol ok then! those dirty so and so's need to do more of (fill in the blank) while not taking my (insert generic thing here)! I am flabbergasted at the behavior of these (insert derogatory term here) and if things dont shape up the way our fore (inserter gender unbiased term here) planned i am moving to (insert neutral sounding country here)

luv you tw, but disagree....wishy-washy comment...and they count on people not knowing the facts and not getting as mad as they really should when they intentionally let 5 years transpire before they deny any wrongdoing. The people who were blocked from crossing that bridge were screwed, royally screwed.

I knew you had it in you!

Why I agree with and stand by my comment is, "We weren't there." I know there was a horrible misappropriation of force. Time to appeal to a higher court. When that fails; then can we have the revolution?

Wonder if the authorities would send their own families back to flooded zone?

Good job ranting, lol. Step two, please pick up the phone an d call these authorities!

I think we are already having the revolution...it just doesn't look the way anyone expected it to look....kind of like the way this nation found its freedom the first time around. The British came marching in, loud and loyal to the crown in their linear fashion, with their bright red coats and shiny brass buttons, and, well, the revolutionaries kind of blended in with the environment...dumb ass British were so addicted to form, they never saw the enemy until it was too late...

oh wait, we have the Patriot Act, we can't have a revolution. hee hee

Oh yeah ? ; )
