An MIT campus police officer has been killed, and a transit policeman shot and in serious condition in Watertown, Massachusetts nearby some time later. An enormous collection of police and law enforcement has converged in the Watertown area and there was a gun battle involving explosives (used by the suspects) on Laurel Street, Watertown. One suspect was apprehended there and the other escaped by ramming police cars with a Mercedes SUV. The Boston Globe reports the man arrested is one of the FBI’s suspect in the Boston Marathon bombing. At this time the Watertown area is being searched and a second suspect (in the shootout on Laurel Street) is on the loose. Police scanner traffic indicates there is an extensive bomb clearing operation underway on multiple streets.

The town of West, Texas has just been hit harder than Boston.

Texas has virtually no zoning laws, unions are busted by “right to work,” and residences and schools right next to industrial plants are common. In this case it has cost many lives.

At 2:00 in this video you can see what Adair Grain, Inc., has done to the town that hosted their company, and to people that lived in the apartment building directly facing the plant full of explosives only a few yards away.

He has turned them down once, today. Will he do it again? This is politically insane.

Who has been proven correct by history, Dr. King, or those clergymen who criticized him for breaking the law in protest? Read his entire letter from the Birmingham jail, written fifty years ago today.

I wish you had commended the Negro sit inners and demonstrators of Birmingham for their sublime courage, their willingness to suffer and their amazing discipline in the midst of great provocation. One day the South will recognize its real heroes. They will be the James Merediths, with the noble sense of purpose that enables them to face jeering and hostile mobs, and with the agonizing loneliness that characterizes the life of the pioneer. They will be old, oppressed, battered Negro women, symbolized in a seventy two year old woman in Montgomery, Alabama, who rose up with a sense of dignity and with her people decided not to ride segregated buses, and who responded with ungrammatical profundity to one who inquired about her weariness: “My feets is tired, but my soul is at rest.” They will be the young high school and college students, the young ministers of the gospel and a host of their elders, courageously and nonviolently sitting in at lunch counters and willingly going to jail for conscience’ sake. One day the South will know that when these disinherited children of God sat down at lunch counters, they were in reality standing up for what is best in the American dream and for the most sacred values in our Judaeo Christian heritage, thereby bringing our nation back to those great wells of democracy which were dug deep by the founding fathers in their formulation of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence.

Let’s ask the “revered” President Ronald Reagan, who is being lauded by the National Geographic 1980s documentary on television this week:

This is what the “great communicator” really did. You won’t hear a peep about it on the network news today or see a word about it in the newspapers.

The Attorney General of Texas declares that a North Korean nuclear attack on Austin, Texas is “far less dangerous” than a Democratic Party majority in the state.
