The USA has so many people that I have found the web to be useless. The atrocities grow from every city. We need a new government. Perhaps a Socialist Democracy where everyone votes and the Rich pay taxes for a change.

I hate that I was born in the USA, in particular in this era. I was tackled by a police officer in Mobile Alabama when trying to attend a city council meeting.

I was jailed and have hired an attorney who says "Keep Quiet".

I say, F--- Off. I would die in a nuclear blast in Mobile Alabama. The terrain is right for it and I can not imagine a greater set of enemies to share the blast with.

America is a lie and nothing will happen anywhere with words. We need a concerted effort for a new army. A Democratic Socialist army who takes action, and not piecemeal rhetoric.

Or maybe it is just time for me to leave the USA. I wish I could. Los Angeles is my nightmare also. Those boys will be forgotten before the next head rolls in Iraq.

Pledge allegiance to the rising Democratic Socialist Army. America's elitist regimes are Hell-bent on destruction, so someone should just give them the entire enchilada.

Hi, again I'm Shiane Whitfield, Deon's younger sister. I really miss him. He use to brush my hair for me when we where younger. Memories I'm going to stay thinking about. Deon was my oldest brother. Now he's gone. just like that. Mu Aunt, and i use to go visit him when he was in another facility before CYA. Now that he was sent all the way up state it was hard to contact him.
