JOHANNES MEHSERLE SENTENCE

Image via Wikipedia

The sentencing of Johannes Mehserle did not surprise me one bit. This
kind of injustice against people of color has been going on for centuries.
Johannes Mehserle gets sentenced to two years and is going to serve only
seventy two days. Really! Taking a mans life is not as important as
killing a dog. Michael Vick had to serve twenty three months for his
crime. What in the heck is wrong with our justice system. Just because
Mehserle was a police officer he got away with taking a life. Police
officers all over this country have been taking lives and getting away
with it. I say that's bull crap! People get sentenced to prison for years
for doing drugs, their not hurting anyone but themselves. Know wonder
people of color in the cities all over America don't like or trust law
enforcement.

What happened at the Bart station in Oakland California happens more
often then people want to believe, I say to those non believers, people
take the blinders off and wake the heck up.This could have happened to
anybody of color, and it will continue to happen as long as we have cops
like Johannes Mehserle on police forces all over this country. People I
know are always getting harassed by the police just because of the color
of their skin. Oscar Grant was face down and was not resisting arrest ,
but yet he's dead. I feel Mehserle meant to shoot Grant he knew darn well
the difference between his gun and his tasser. Johannes Mehserle is lying
and he knows it and God knows it and he will have to face what he did
one. Johannes Mehserle and all police officers who have taking a life
unjustly, know the saying "do on to others as you would have them do
on to you."

PG&E SMART METER

Image by Kevin via Flickr

If you live in California, you will be getting PG&E’s Smart Meter. PG an E will be installing smart meter’s to every dwelling and business in California and you don’t have a choice. Customers in the Bakersfield Fresno and all over the Central Valley had the smart meter installed last summer and they are not happy. They went to State Senator Dean Florez and complained about how their bills were outrageously high now, even though their doing everything exactly the same. Senator Florez told CBS 5

Investigates: “I think PG an E has been less than truthful.” About What? The explanations Senator Florez said, the company gave some of those customers, such as telling them their old meters just weren’t as accurate as the smart meters. “There’s no doubt that PG an E has lied to its customers when it comes to replacing the old meters with the new meters and somehow saying the old meters were defective,” Florez said. Ok here we go again if the old meters are so defective, why? has PG an E kept the old meters around since 1905 when it was founded. I say this is a big utility trying to stick it to the consumer again. PG an E knows we don’t have a choice. If everyone is dependent on gas and electricity, then PG an E can install these smart meters and that’s  that. When our bills become outrageously high, and we complain I hope the government steps in and investigates PG an E. It’s going to be a sad situation when people can’t afford to pay there bill and there PG an E gets turned off. I have not had the smart meter installed yet, but it’s coming next month, you can best believe I will be monitoring my bill every closely. Consumers if your bill is outrageously high after the smart meter is installed complain to your government officials, if they get enough complaints PG an E will hopefully be investigated.

Response to Mercury News Article by Patrick Buchanan – Sept. 13, 2009

Response to Mercury News Article by Patrick Buchanan – Sept. 13, 2009

Why does the Mercury News continue to print articles by Pat Buchanan a self proclaimed racist? On The Rachel Maddow Show, Buchanan insisted that “white people built America and deserve more”. In the Mercury News article on September 13, 2009 Buchanan states that America is more divided lately about everything. Multiculturalism and diversity is the reason he gives for the division in this country. He says that “the European-Christian core of the country that once defined us is shrinking, as Christianity fades, the birthrate falls and Third World immigration surges.” The old American heroes according to Buchanan like Columbus, Stonewall Jackson and Robert E. Lee are replaced by Dr. King and Cesar Chavez.

Well, Buchanan’s old America does not exist any more, thank God, so get over it. This country was built by all of us – black, white, red, brown, yellow; it is our multiculturalism and diversity that makes this country strong.

America is not divided because of our cultural diversity but because of ultra-conservatives, right wing nuts like Pat Buchanan who continue to fan the flames of racism in this country. Calling our President a fascist, thug, and Nazi shows how despicable these ultra conservatives have become. With freedom of speech comes responsibility. Pat Buchanan is not a responsible columnist and The Mercury News should not continue to give this idiot a forum to air his extreme views.

GUN CARRYING PROTESTERS

GUN CARRYING PROTESTERS The Bill Of Rights, our Second Amendment, “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the People to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed”. Ok this is our right, but some of these people carrying guns to the protest where the President is speaking are a little overboard. Why do they have to carry guns to a protest? Don’t these people know that they are making people nervous; they are also inciting people to possible act violent. In all my days I have not seen any protesters, protesting a Presidential speaking engagement where people are openly carrying guns. If this keeps happening God forbid something tragic might happen. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090817/ap_on_re_us/us_obama_protesters_guns LM

ANOTHER MARIJUANA BUST NETS $60 MILLION

ANOTHER MARIJUANA BUST NETS $60 MILLION I’m sitting here wondering why they just won’t legalize marijuana. The authorities, raid all these illegal pot growing facilities and burn it all. We’re talking about millions of dollars. In the hills of Palo Alto Ca. this week 20,000 marijuana plants were seized, Again there just going to burn it. Well I say legalize it and tax it, Just like they did with alcohol back when it was illegal. The authorities act like marijuana is so bad, It's not. Now Crack and Meth are, and there highly addictive. If marijuana were legal and taxed it would help the economy. The Government should get off there high horse and seriously thinking about this because were so in debt this could help. http://www.insidebayarea.com/sanmateocountytimes/localnews/ci_13014926?source=rss Lynn

On The Road Again

Image via Wikipedia

From PeteCam4 (On the road again):

How many times have you noticed someone speed past you on the freeway going 30-40 mph over the limit...often cutting-off you and other

drivers, creating a very dangerous situation? I've seen it too many times. I always wish that I was a CHP, or that I could quickly memorize

the speed demon's drivers license and call it in to the CHP!.

This past Sunday morning It happened again, and I finally acted on it! I was in light traffic heading East on Oregon Expressway in Palo Alto

in a 40mph zone. Suddenly this airport shuttle bus blew past me on the right and cut in front of me.(Long enough for me to read the bus's

company phone number.) The bus then sped off at 70-75mph...cutting-off another car or two in route to Hwy 101.

What makes this worse is that I noticed eight or more passengers in the bus, and the driver was STILL grossly wreckless and dangerous! As

a passenger, commercial or private...I'd rather miss a flight than lose life or limb. Whatever the case, this driver needs to be stopped, or at

least slowed down.

So, I called the incident in to his company manager. Now it's up to them. If you notice incredibly dangerous or obviously drunk drivers out

there...do something about it if you can. I feel a lot better now, knowing that I did.

Stay road-safe out there.

Sincerely...PeteCam4

Courier and Messenger Services Outlook

The Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational Handbook for 2008-2009 has the following interesting outlook for couriers and messengers.
Couriers and messengers combined held about 134,000 jobs in 2006 with little to no change predicted through 2016. Despite an increasing volume of parcels, business documents, and other materials to be delivered in the coming decade, the widespread use of electronic information-handling technologies such as e-mail and fax have limited the growth of courier and messenger jobs.
Electronic transmission of many documents, forms, and other materials is replacing items that had been hand delivered. Many legal and financial documents, which formerly were delivered by hand because they required a handwritten signature, can now be delivered electronically with online signatures. However, for items that are unable to be sent electronically—such as blueprints and other oversized materials, securities, and passports—couriers and messengers will still be needed. They still will also be required by medical and dental laboratories to pick up and deliver medical samples, specimens, and other specialized deliveries like transporting donor organs for hospitals.
Although the outlook for courier and messenger services are predicted to be flat over the next decade, at Streetwise Special Delivery, Inc we’re still excited about the services that we offer to our customers. What other industry can you have the freedom to make your own day, enjoy the great outdoors, and interact with some very interesting people? Every day is exciting and different!

PIRATES ARE MAD

PIRATES ARE MAD Somali pirates are mad, because three of their men were killed Sunday after the rescue of American ship captain Richard Phillips of the Maersk Alabama. These pirates are targeting American Ships and they want to kill everyone they can capture. I don’t think is going to happen. America and other countries should be monitoring the pirates and capturing them. I can’t believe the gall of these pirates, they have lost their mind if they think the world is going take their craziness anymore. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090415/ap_on_re_af/piracy LM

AGI EXECUTIVE RESIGNS

AGI EXECUTIVE RESIGNS

One AIG executive decides to do the right thing. Jake DeSantis is leaving
the company and will be donating his $742,000 bonus to charity. All the
other executive need to follow his lead. I think they know that it is
wrong. Doing the right thing is always good so you can look at your self
in the mirror.

TRAGEDY ON THE STREETS OF OAKLAND

TRAGEDY ON THE STREETS OF OAKLAND

Again and Again. It seems like Oakland is a city that, always has its shootings. If it is not some innocent getting shot because they were in the wrong place at the wrong time. A mental disturb person getting shot to death by the police, where they could have been wounded to live another day. A man laying face down and hand cuffed getting shot to death. Oakland’s Police Department has been known for profiling. Some of the people are tired of it. Don’t get me wrong it was a sad day Saturday, for the four officers who lost there lives and the grieving families. It is also sad, for the family of the gunman. I think if something is not learned from this tragedy on part of Oakland Police Department, Parole System and the Citizens of Oakland. This is going to happen again and again.

AIG FRAUD

AIG FRAUD

I can’t believe the audacity of the AIG. To pay millions in bonuses, after they whined that they needed help. What are they thinking; the tax payers
are going to take that? Everybody needs help in one way or another, more than those fat cat’s with the big homes 6 figure income & vacation homes etc. I don’t think so!! AIG is a big Fraud.

NCAA As We Approach March Madness

In this Month for basketball lovers, this is the most wonderful time of the year. This Tournament is just not a series of games, only 64 teams can make it. The Tar Heels are seeking a season sweep against their rivals Duke. A win for the Tar Heels will sew thing up for the number 1 seed in the NACC.

A Duke victory can tie for the regular season ACC (Atlantic Coast Conference) tile. If the Duke blue devils win that will make them a
viable candidate for the number 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament.


I think Duke Blue devils will fall to NC Tar Heels. There just notBig enough for the inside game. The Point guards have trouble with fast break defense. I have made my decision .. I am going with the Ty Larson and the Tar Heels with the power inside game of Tyler Hansbrough. Go Tar Heels!!!!!
