WELCOME to my blog!

My hope is that this site will encourage interesting and thoughtful posts.


Onto my first post:

The recent news of New York officials making up charges against legal protestors at the RNC--Namely Josh Banno, accused of setting fire to a dragon, and Alexander Dunlop, accused of resisting arrest, is cause for concern for the action of peaceful protest and freedom of speech.

These two men were vindicated when photographs and videotape, respectively, turned up showing their innocence. Josh faced seven years in prison if those photos hadn't turned up.

Josh's mother remortgaged her home to help her son vindicate himself. They filed a lawsuit against the city for the actions of those officers.
