To Whom It May Concern:

This week, Anarchist Black Cross member Earth Lib (ELF) posted an article about Two teens blowing up a McDonalds toilet with an IED.

While ELF did not post an opinion or a sympathy statement with the two teens, it was clearly intended to show that anti-McDonalds activists scored a strike against the corporation.

Stanley “Tookie” Williams, co-founder of the Crip street gang in Los Angeles, was executed in San Quentin Prison on December 13 just after midnight.

California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger coldly and callously refused to grant him clemency, saying that “the facts do not justify overturning the court decision.” Even though Tookie Williams had changed and became a very outspoken advocate against gang violence and for peace. They showed him no mercy. But it is deeper than this. In a highly political statement, Schwarzenegger also said that Tookie Williams' 1998 book Life In Prison was “dedicated to people like Assata Shakur, Mumia Abu Jamal” and particularly “Black militant George Jackson” which, according to Schwarzenegger, “is a significant indicator that Williams is not reformed and that he still sees violence and lawlessness as legitimate means to address societal problems.”

In Utica, NY, resident Walter Washington was shot and killed by a Utica police officer this summer. The details surrounding the events of that night are shady at best and bizarre at worst. Many questions are still unanswered and Mr. Washington’s friends and family live in a state of uncertainty as they attempt to find the truth of the events surrounding Washington’s death.

Adam MacFadden, City Council member, recently suggested a Curfew for youth in the city of Rochester. This in the wake of the tragic stabbing death of 14 year-old Devon Stott. Clearly, incidents like the one involving Stott demand that something different be done, but how would a curfew solve the problem?
