Shot Through the Heart: Why Are Black Youth Dying?
A plump, youngish African American Woman with curls and braids sat a few chairs away from me in the ER watching television. She shifted her weight. A tear coursed down her cheek tracing a lighter brown track on the side of her face. She glanced at me, rubbing a tissue over her eyes. The show was about a kid who shot another kid. "That's sad." I observed. "My son was shot a month ago." "I'm SO sorry," I gasped. "A drive-by near the Market Street Safeway," she said. "The female MUNI driver got ...

justice system?"...

Powdering The Crooked Nose of The City's Anti-Homeless Panhandling Law
The Santa Cruz City Council did a "quick fix" on an obscure section of its really bad panhandling law on May 23rd and June 13th. Instead of giving the whole panhandling law the civil liberties and common sense overhaul it needs, the Rotkin City Council chaired by Mayor "Two Minutes" Mathews cut short public discussion and rubberstamp City Attorney Barisone's settlement. More legal challenges and more city money will probably be going to pay City Attorney Barisone's questionable defense of h...
