Florida
Prosecutor Indicted For Falsifying Arrest Warrant against George Zimmerman
Florida State’s Attorney Angela Corey has
been indicted by a citizens’ grand jury, convening in Ocala, Florida, over the
alleged falsification of the arrest warrant and complaint that lead to George
Zimmerman being charged with the second degree murder of African-American
teenager Trayvon Martin in Sanford, Florida.
The
indictment of Corey, which was handed down last week (see
www.citizensgrandjury.com), charges Corey with intentionally withholding
photographic evidence of the injuries to George Zimmerman’s head in the warrant
she allegedly rushed to issue under oath, in an effort to boost her reelection
prospects. At the outset of this case, black activists such as Jesse Jackson
and Al Sharpton, who whipped up wrath against Zimmerman, demanded that he be
charged with murder, after local police had thus far declined to arrest him
pending investigation.
Following Corey’s criminal complaint
charging Zimmerman, legal experts such as Harvard Law Professor Alan Dershowitz
condemned her for falsely signing an arrest affidavit under oath, which
intentionally omitted exculpatory evidence consisting of the photographs
showing the injuries Zimmerman sustained, and rushing to charge him with second
degree murder under political pressure.

Two
People Added To Food Stamps For Every Job Created Under Obama
The good news: Jay Carney lied
“And what is absolutely true is that we have come a long way since the
depths of the Great Recession. We’ve created over 7.2 million private
sector jobs,” Carney told reporters at a press briefing.
Here’s what Mr. Carney didn’t say:
At the end of January 2009, 32,204,859 Americans received aid from the
Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. As of April 2013, there
were 47,548,694 Americans on food stamps. [SNAP:
Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program]
There are 15 million more Americans on food stamps today than
when Obama assumed office.
That
means that more than two Americans have been added to the food stamp rolls for
every one job the administration says it has created.
If you happened to be like vacationing
IRS official Lois Lerner and are ‘not good at math‘, 15 million is more than twice as much as 7.2 million. Hence, the ‘two
more people on food stamps’ than ‘found jobs’ stat.
In addition, 2.5 million of
the ‘jobs created’ to which Carney referred are part-time; as a separate
figure, 2.7 million of those ‘jobs created’ are temps, a 50% increase over
Obama’s time in office.
Furthermore, according to the Bureau
of Labor Statistics, there were
154,526,000 in the Civilian Labor Force in February 2009 and in June 2013 there
were 155,835,000. That would be a net gain of 1.309 million more people working
civilian jobs. The labor
force participation rateof 63.5% is
hovering at the lowest levels since late 1978.

Judge: State lawsuits cannot block Detroit bankruptcy
filing
Protesters carry a sign outside the Levin Federal
Courthouse in Detroit, Wednesday, July 24, 2013.
Federal courts will decide if Detroit is
eligible for what would be the largest municipal bankruptcy ever, a federal
judge ruled Wednesday, suspending challenges to the Chapter 9 filing in state
court.
Detroit's Emergency Manager Kevyn Orr—a
bankruptcy expert appointed by Gov. Rick Snyder earlier this year to oversee
Detroit's finances—has said the federal bankruptcy filing is necessary to get
the city out from under some $18 billion in liabilities.
But the city's employee unions argued
the bankruptcy is an end-run around the state constitution, which protects
their pension benefits. The unions backed a series of lawsuits filed in
Michigan courts to block the bankruptcy. Last week, Ingham County Circuit Judge
Rosemarie Aquilina ruled the bankruptcy filing unconstitutional, but a state
appeals court put her ruling on hold, and Orr argued the federal court should
make that stay indefinite.
The emergency manager said bankruptcy is
a federal matter. A bankruptcy filing normally puts all other litigation on
hold, but Orr's office asked the judge to extend that automatic stay to cover
him and state officials, including the governor. Orr's attorneys acknowledged
the request was unusual, but said "recent events"—the lawsuits in
state court—made it necessary.
"That kind of activity has got to
stop," city attorney Heather Lennox said. Lennox is a partner at Jones
Day—Orr's former law firm—which is collecting millions of dollars in legal fees
from the city.
But attorney Sharon Levine, representing
the local council of the American Federation of State County and Municipal
Employees, said the federal bankruptcy code "is not there to enforce
rights that do not exist."
The unions said framers of the Michigan
constitution decided to guard public employee pensions because public pensions
have no insurance protection, unlike private pensions, which are insured by the
federal Pension Benefit Guarantee Corp.
"Here, there is no safety
net," Levine said. She said nonuniformed employee pensions in Detroit are
below $19,000 per year.
Attorney Robert Gordon, representing the
police and fire pension funds, argued that because of the constitutional
provision, the governor had no right to authorize the bankruptcy filing in the
first place. As a result, Gordon said, the filing is "void," and it
was premature to even be discussing it in federal court.
"The motions assume facts not in
evidence," Gordon said.
But the judge appeared unconvinced.
"How do you deal with the law that
gives the bankruptcy court exclusive jurisdiction," Rhodes asked.
Gordon responded that there was no need
to deal with the provision, because there was no valid bankruptcy filing to
begin with.
Because of the intense interest in the
largest municipal bankruptcy filing in U.S. history, the hearing was moved from
Rhodes' normal courtroom to a much larger one across the street at the Theodore
Levin Federal Courthouset. Many members of the public and the media were
relegated to an overflow courtroom down the hall to view a video feed.
Outside the courthouse, a handful of
protesters carried signs in support of the unions. One demonstrator played a
recording of Martin Luther King's "I have a dream" speech through a
megaphone.
City firefighter Mark Jackson.said he
came to the courthouse because so much is at stake.
"I am scared. Scared that I will
lose my retirement. I'm scared for all of us," Jackson told CNBC.
But Orr and Snyder have repeatedly
insisted that city pensions will not be cut entirely under a bankruptcy. In an
interview before the hearing, Orr said the majority of the pensions are funded,
but there remains a $3.5 billion shortfall—and the city has no way to make it
up.
Special
Ops Group of Over 1,000 Unroll 60-Foot Petitition Demanding Answers on Benghazi
Kyle
Becker On July 24, 2013 https://twitter.com/kylenbecker
Special operations veterans unveiled a 60-foot petition demanding
answers about the siege of a diplomatic compound and murder of four servicemen
in Benghazi, Libya on the anniversary of 9/11 last year.
Special Operations Speaks PAC unveiled the petition with Representative
Frank Wolf (R-VA) and other Congressmen near the Capitol Building in Washington
D.C. late Tuesday afternoon. It bore the names of 1,000 special operations
veterans seeking the truth about what happened the night of the Benghazi
attack.
The pressure is building within the
House of Representatives for Speaker Boehner to call a select committee to
investigate a cover-up that veteran journalist Carl Woodward compared to Watergate. Newsmax relayed:
The Republican House leadership is under renewed pressure to allow a
vote on legislation that would create a special committee to investigate the
Benghazi, Lybia, terrorist attack in September that killed Ambassador Chris
Stevens and three other Americans.
Rep. Steve Stockman is circulating a
discharge petition that would force House Speaker John Boehner to allow a floor
vote on forming a Benghazi select committee, according
to The Hill.
While partisan Democrats may want the
Benghazi investigation to close, and for America to “move on,” there are
several remaining questions. Even though Obama aide Dan Pfeiffer claimed it was
“irrelevant” where President Obama was the night of the attack, that is, in fact, a
crucial question. As Commander-in-Chief, he bears direct responsibility for
command decisions.
As former Ambassador Ann Wagner related,
thepresident
is responsible for ordering troops and other military
assets to “stand down” during an attack on a diplomatic compound.
That is because it is protocol to
attempt a rescue operation by launching an in extremis rescue force (as anyone who has worked
in a bureaucracy knows, there are Standard Operating Procedures for everything;
superiors dictate when not to follow SOPs).
Indeed, a disturbing comparison of the
CIA and Pentagon timelines put
together by Jennifer Griffin makes clear that CIA assets were ready for
deployment and were told to wait before attempting a rescue operation… twice.
The eventually slain CIA servicemen Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty were told to
stand down and not even attempt to rescue Ambassador Stevens, who had met with
the Turkish consul earlier that night.
There is speculation that a buyback of military hardware that
was in the possession of al Qaeda terrorist-connected groups was among the
topics of discussion, as well as potential gun-running to
Syrian rebels through Turkey.
Now removed General Carter Ham sent
an unarmed drone to the Benghazi compound 17 minutes after he was notified of
the attack; however, the ordering of armed military aircraft must come from the
president, and the Libyan government unequivocally stated that it received no
such flyover request that entire night.
This adds weight to the testimony of
former former Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta that reveals that no serious
rescue operation was even attempted. Panetta’s testimony avers
that the president was absent after his initial briefing on the situation, and
cross-examination by Senator Lindsey Graham makes clear that
no serious military assets were dispatched to Benghazi for over eight hours.
While there are some complacent-minded
people who are used to waiting for the federal government to act in emergency
situations, and thus cannot grasp why this is such a big deal, this is neither
the American way, nor the military code to leave people to die this way. You do
not leave men behind when you can act. And clearly, the Commander-in-Chief did
not act.
By all accounts, President Obama took a briefing, departed for his
evening sojourn, and awoke lithe and sprite for his Vegas fundraiser the next
day. He even cancelled his attendance of a State Department announcement of the
terrorist attack scheduled for the next day. Partisan Democrats can howl all
they like, but this is flat-out unacceptable. The American people deserve, and
many of them demand, serious answers.
The White House’s behavior shows that it
is not interested in people getting the truth about the attack. It promoted disgraced
U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice to National Security Adviser, after either
incompetently, or more likely, dishonestly telling the people repeatedly there
was a demonstration in Benghazi over an offensive YouTube video the night of
the Benghazi attack. State Department emails that
were revealed in the mainstream media directly contradict the Obama
administration’s absurd talking points after the obvious terrorist attack.
The State Department earlier had the
hubris to state it may not
comply with a Congressional subpoena for documents pertaining to a Benghazi
investigation. And it was recently claimed by Congressman Frank Wolf that Benghazi witnesses were silenced by
the State Department through their signing of NDAs — Non-Disclosure Agreements.
The media is absent on such matters; and
this is not a partisan tiff. President Obama is being granted pass after pass —
he has been found to be unaccountable for his policies at double the rate of
previous presidents.The president should answer for being AWOL when he should
have been fulfilling his prime directive — protecting the American people (not
campaigning).
And for Jeb Bush to offer a “Liberty Medal” to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton one day before the
upcoming anniversary of the Benghazi attack — that is a despicable mockery of
Liberty and the American people. Due to Mrs. Clinton’s inaction, the diplomatic consul that came under siege was in dire need of more
security in the former warzone (that would be the war that President Obama got
America involved in without Congressional authorization). Stevens begged for
more security, and was turned down by Clinton’s State Department (and yes,
there were available funds for that).
As Townhall noted, “murdered US Ambassador Chris Stevens’ second in command, Gregory
Hicks, was instructed not
to speak with a Congressional investigator by State Department lawyers.” Hicks’
testimony before Congress indicates a clear attempt to silence him and he was
then punished at the State Department for ostensibly no other reason than
telling the American people his side of the story about what happened. More
‘sides of the story’ like Hicks’ need to come out for the public to get a
fuller picture of what went down before, during and after the deadly terrorist
attack at Benghazi.
But to quote Hillary Clinton and
partisan Democrats: What difference, at this point, does it
make? If one might be permitted to answer,
it is the character of the United States government and the military’s
commitment to its troops that are on the line. If you cannot grasp that, you
are not fit for public service.

Igualdad y Derechos Alberto Perez.
El derecho como nos lo
describen en las enciclopedias refiere al objeto de la
relación jurídica, que puede ser un bien, o incluso una obligación, en la que
además intervendrán personas, siendo éstas los sujetos de tal relación. El
derecho es posible, se puede y se debe legislar porque es algo beneficioso para
la sociedad civilizada.
La igualdad es algo diferente, es un concepto más
abstracto, realmente no puede existir la igualdad.
Los seres humanos son diversos y siempre habrá
diferencias, por ende no habrá igualdad, sobre todo cuando hablamos de igualdad
económica.
Tratar de forzar la
igualdad económica en la sociedad puede traer consecuencias fatales para una
nación, como hemos lo hemos visto repetidamente en los ensayos
comunistas.
Esta noción abstracta sobre la igualdad, ha sido
utilizada por los políticos populistas y socialistas para provocar la agitación
social.
Existen numerosos casos en que el concepto de la
desigualdad social con referencia a la desigualdad económica en América ha
creado estados de violencias, basado en nuestras nociones de justicia
abstracta, pero debe existir el compromiso de intereses bajo las cuales toda
sociedad civilizada, rinde este hecho inevitable
Si tenemos la civilización y el esfuerzo
indispensable para su éxito, debemos tener la propiedad; Entonces si tenemos
propiedad, la propiedad debe de tener sus derechos; si tenemos los derechos de
propiedad, debemos tomar las consecuencias de los derechos de propiedad que son
inseparables de los propios derechos.
La igualdad de derechos en América, por lo tanto,
después de tener en cuenta la indispensable excepción de la esclavitud
doméstica, es sólo una extensión mayor del principio que no existe como una
igualdad de condiciones.
Siempre existirán diferencias económicas entre
las clases.
Existen en los países socialistas, donde los
dirigentes como nos describió George Orwell en “La Rebelión en la Granja”, y
Milovan Djilas en “La Nueva Clase"; la cúpula del poder, se convierte en la clase acomodada con
privilegios denegados al ciudadano común.
Donde dicen que todos son iguales, pero donde
algunos son más “iguales” que otros.
Es mucho mejor el sistema de propiedad privada,
donde no hay igualdad, pero en que el ciudadano de abajo, tiene la esperanza y
la oportunidad de alcanzar con su ingenio y su trabajo un escalón superior en
la desigual sociedad.
The Inequality President Alberto Perez.
The rich have done fine
under Obamanomics, not so the middle class.
President Obama made his
fourth or fifth, or maybe it's the seventh or eighth, pivot to the economy on
Wednesday, and a revealing speech it was. We counted four mentions of
"growth" but "inequality" got five. This goes a long way to
explaining why Mr. Obama is still bemoaning the state of the economy five years
into his Presidency.
The President summed up his
economic priorities close to the top of his hour-long address. "This
growing inequality isn't just morally wrong; it's bad economics," he told
his Galesburg, Illinois audience. "When middle-class families have less to
spend, businesses have fewer customers. When wealth concentrates at the very
top, it can inflate unstable bubbles that threaten the economy. When the rungs
on the ladder of opportunity grow farther apart, it undermines the very essence
of this country."
Then the heart of the
matter: "That's why reversing these trends must be Washington's highest
priority. It's certainly my highest priority."
Which is the problem. For
four and a half years, Mr. Obama has focused his policies on reducing
inequality rather than increasing growth. The predictable result has been more
inequality and less growth. As even Mr. Obama conceded in his speech, the rich
have done well in the last few years thanks to a rising stock market, but the
middle class and poor have not. The President called his speech "A Better
Bargain for the Middle Class," but no President has done worse by the
middle class in modern times.
By
now the lackluster growth figures are well known. The recovery that began four
years ago has been one of the weakest on record, averaging a little more than
2%. And it has not gained speed. Growth in the fourth quarter of 2012 was 0.4%.
It rose to a still anemic 1.8% in the first quarter but most economists are
predicting even slower growth in the second quarter.
We
hope the predictions of a faster growth in the second half will be right, but
the Obama Treasury and Federal Reserve have been predicting for four years that
takeoff was just around the corner. Stocks are doing great, and housing prices
are rising, but job growth remains lackluster. What has never arrived is the
3%-4% growth spurt during typical expansions.
The official excuse is that
recoveries coming out of recessions caused by financial crises are always slow.
But then why have we been told every few months for five years that faster
growth would soon be coming? Perhaps readers recall former Treasury Secretary
Tim Geithner's famous 2010 op-ed, "Welcome to the Recovery." Mr.
Obama wants it both ways: Take credit for recovering from recession, but blame
that recession ad infinitum for the slow pace of the recovery.
What about the middle class
that is the focus of Mr. Obama's rhetoric? Each month the consultants at
Sentier Research crunch the numbers from the Census Bureau's Current Population
Survey and estimate the trend in median annual household income adjusted for
inflation. In its May 2013 report, Sentier put the figure at $51,500,
essentially unchanged from $51,671 a year earlier.
And that's the good news.
The bad news is that median real household income is $2,718, or 5%, lower than
the $54,218 median in June 2009 when the recession officially ended. Median
incomes typically fall during recessions. But the striking fact of the Obama
economy is that median real household income has fallen even during the
recovery.
While the declines have
stabilized over the last two years, incomes are still far below the previous
peak located by Sentier of $56,280 in January 2008. No wonder Mr. Obama is now
turning once again to his familiar political narrative assailing inequality and
blaming everyone else for it. He wants to change the subject from the results
on his watch.
The
core problem has been Mr. Obama's focus on spreading the wealth rather than
creating it. ObamaCare will soon hook more Americans on government subsidies,
but its mandates and taxes have hurt job creation, especially at small
businesses. Mr. Obama's record tax increases have grabbed a bigger chunk of
affluent incomes, but they created uncertainty for business throughout 2012 and
have dampened growth so far this year.
The
food stamp and disability rolls have exploded, which reduces inequality but
also reduces the incentive to work and rise on the economic ladder. This has
contributed to a plunge in the share of Americans who are working—the labor
participation rate—to 63.5% in June from 65.7% in June 2009. And don't forget
the Fed's extraordinary monetary policy, which has done well by the rich who
have assets but left the thrifty middle class and retirees earning pennies on
their savings.
Mr.
Obama would have done far better by the poor, the middle class and the wealthy
if he had focused on growing the economy first. The difference between the
Obama 2% recovery and the Reagan-Clinton 3%-4% growth rates is rising incomes
for nearly everybody.
House Republicans have put a
check on Mr. Obama's most destructive economic policies, but the President
could do more to help growth if he crossed party lines to pass tax reform the
way Reagan did in his second term, or to work out a budget deal as Bill Clinton
did in his fifth year.
Mr. Obama's only pro-growth
proposal is immigration reform, and we're not sure he wants even that to pass.
Judging by the partisan tenor of his Wednesday speech, he may be setting it up
to use as a campaign wedge in 2014. If only Mr. Obama understood that before a
government can redistribute wealth, the private economy has to create it

My sociopolitical persuasion has been conservative since
I can remember.
Even during the 50's in Cuba, with a political scenario
where to be a conservative was an oddity, and all the parties were “populist”
“revolutionary”and “progressive” boarding with socialist ideas, my ideas were
always conservative.
So you may imagine what I think of all government
regulatory agencies, they are a pain in my behind.
Specifically, I consider the Food and Drug
administration. an agency responsible, with its over regulation, for the high
price of drugs and the cause that many persons have died because they do not
have access to new drugs which are not approved, buried in the bureaucratic
jungle and red tape of the agency, that prevents the approval of the drug..
But I have to welcome the new regulations of the FDA
regarding the industry of the so called “Natural Remedies” that are advertised
like “Magical Cure Drugs” when they are just dietary supplements.
The essential vitamins your body needs can all
be found in readily-available foods, so a proper diet is all we need to supply
our body of the necessary vitamins.
But we are all sinners when it comes to a
proper diet.
So Dietary supplements and vitamins are necessary.
The problem is when these products are advertised as
magic cures for major ailments, like Thyroid, Heart condition, Diabetes and
others.
When the public self-medicate based on these misleading
advertising, they procrastinate their visit to the doctor, don´t get the proper
medications, and when they go to the doctor sometimes it is too late.
Because dietary supplements are basically harmless, the
FDA has neglected the industry needed regulations.
It is necessary to regulate this industry and their false
advertising.
It is necessary to stop the bullshit. (Excuse my French,
but I couldn't find another word)
This article by Thomas M. Burton in the Wall Street
Journal, tells us about certain products that are illegally advertised as a
“cure” for diabetes which are in some cases dangerous.
FDA Moves Against
Alternative Diabetes Treatments
Dietary Supplements, 'Natural' Remedies Are
Targeted
WASHINGTON—The Food and Drug Administration
is acting to stop U.S. sales of nearly two dozen products marketed as diabetes
treatments that the agency said are illegal and can be ineffective, counterfeit
or in some cases dangerous.
The FDA cracks down on 15 companies’ dietary
supplements and “natural cures” for diabetes, saying the therapies don't work,
can be dangerous and, in some cases, include undisclosed and counterfeit
prescription drugs. Tom Burton reports. .
The federal agency sent warning letters to
the companies involved and said it could follow up by seizing the products,
enjoining their sale and even criminally prosecuting firms whose officials fail
to take corrective action.
The products include dietary supplements,
self-styled "natural treatments," and ayurvedic medicines, part of an
alternative health system that evolved in India and includes herbs and special
diets. The drugs involved also include unapproved versions of prescription
diabetes medicines such as metformin and Januvia.
The products can be found both on the
Internet and at retail outlets, and make claims such as being a "natural
diabetes cure."
"If you have diabetes, you should be
getting treatment from a doctor," said Howard Sklamberg, director of
compliance at the FDA's center for drug evaluation and research. He said that
the FDA was taking actions to "protect consumers," and that the
agency recommends people not use the products in question.
One of the products involved, Anti-diabetic
Pancreatic Capsule (known in the original Chinese as Jiang Tang Yi Huo Su Jiao
Nang), included phenformin. It was removed from the U.S. market in 1978 because
it was linked to lactic acidosis, a serious condition requiring immediate
medical attention caused by an accumulation of lactic acid in the bloodstream.
The FDA didn't identify the company that makes this current diabetes product.
The FDA said the products covered in warning
letters might not only be ineffective; they might be contaminated or cause
people "to delay seeking proper, timely treatment, leading to an increased
risk for developing serious health complications."

Sugar Balancer is one of the products that

Companies and products that were singled out
by the FDA:
Enhance Nutraceutical's Diaberex

Magni Co.'s MagniLife Diabetic Neuropathy
Foot Cream
Nature's Health Supply Diabetes Daily Care

Another significant issue is the lack of
labels. Many prescription-drug labels disclose side effects, including some
serious ones, and without them, consumers can't fully understand the
risk-benefit balance of the drugs involved.
Diabetes, which afflicts nearly 26 million
Americans, can cause heart disease, blindness and kidney failure, and may lead
to lower-extremity amputations if the malady isn't kept under control. The
products at issue include some aimed at treating those complications.
Many of them, the FDA said, are sold with
such claims as "prevents and treats diabetes," and "can replace
medicine in the treatment of diabetes." They also include ayurvedic
medicines and prescription drugs for diabetes sold by online pharmacies without
a prescription.
Among the products and companies in the
warning letters were Sugar Balancer from Health King Enterprise &
Balanceuticals Group Inc.; Diabetes Daily Care from Nature's Health Supply
Inc.; MagniLife Diabetic Neuropathy Foot Cream from Magni Co.; Diaberex from
Enhance Nutraceutical; Glytain from Glytain Internal Remedies; and Eradicator
from Naturecast Products.
Lindsay Rohnke, general manager of Magni,
said the company was "looking into any potential marketing violations, and
we will make any necessary changes to keep MagniLife Diabetic Neuropathy Foot
Cream available to our customers."
Health King didn't respond to a request for
comment. The Health King website on Monday said Sugar Balancer is formulated
"in an effort to maintain healthy blood and urine sugar levels," but
that such statements haven't been evaluated by the FDA, and that "this
product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease."
Diabetes Daily Care was being sold Monday on Amazon.com as AMZN -0.70%a "natural diabetes
cure." A man who answered the phone at Nature's Health Supply declined to
comment.
Enhance Nutraceutical, Glytain Internal
Remedies and Naturecast Products didn't respond to requests for comment.
¿NOTA: WASHINGTON.- El presidente de EE.UU., Barack Obama, pidió hoy a la
clase política que se concentre en la recuperación económica, de la que dijo
que seguirá siendo su mayor prioridad junto a la mejora de las condiciones de
vida de la clase media, y en dejar atrás "falsos escándalos" y
"distracciones". ????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Interesante: Caso similar al de Zimmerman-Martin en febrero de
2012
• En esa oportunidad un hombre negro mató a un joven blanco de 16 años
MIAMI, 24 DE JULIO DE
2013, NHR.com—El caso de la muerte de
Trayvon Martin por el vigilante de barrio voluntario George Zimmerman ha venido
acaparado la atención nacional por muchos meses, más que nada gracias a la
presión que líderes negros como Jessy Jackson y Al Sharpton y elementos de la
prensa nacional han mantenido desde que ocurriera el desafortunado suceso.
Sin embargo, por simple
curiosidad en NHR.com nos dimos a la tarea de buscar casos similares al
ocurrido el 26 de febrero de 2012, y lo encontramos, y para sorpresa en este
caso ocurrido en Nueva York el 4 de abril del 2009, fue un negro quien apretó
el gatillo y dio muerte al jovencito blanco Christ Cervini de 16 años,
estudiante con honores en la secundaria donde estudiaba. En esa ocasión, ni Jackson
ni Sharpton acudieron a realizar masivas demostraciones, ni siquiera emitieron
una declaración. Es triste decirlo, pero para estos líderes aparentemente
todo depende “del color con que se mira”.
El caso hallado por
NHR.com ocurrió en el año 2009, meses después que el presidente Barack Obama
tomara posesión de la presidencia. Roderick Scott, un hombre de la raza negra
dormía en el sofá de su casa, cuando escuchó un ruido fuera de la casa,
rápidamente tomó su pistola y le dijo a su novia que llamara al 911, en lo que
él salía a ver qué pasaba, y una vez fuera confrontó a tres jóvenes que
intentaban abrir un vehículo propiedad de un vecino.
Su intención fue tratar de
detener a los tres, no quería disparar contra ellos, y mientras se acercaba a
los tres vio que una pequeña luz dentro del auto estaba encendida y uno de los
jóvenes se encontraba adentro.
En este punto Scott dijo
que extrajo su pistola de su cintura y ya cerca de los jóvenes, éstos
comenzaron a caminar, aunque dos de ellos se quedaron mirando entre las cosas
dentro del vehículo.
“Yo no sabía a este punto
si alguno de ellos estaba armado”, dijo Scott, quien afirmó que le gritó a los
jóvenes para que pararan y les alertó que que su novia estaba llamando a la
policía. A todas estas, Scott les apuntaba con la pistola, así pasaron algunos
segundos y según Scott, los jóvenes hablaron entre si, y acto seguido, uno de
ellos comenzó a correr, mientras otro corría hacia él, gritando. Scott gritaba,
advirtiéndole que tenía una pistola, y le disparó dándole muerte al joven, que
no se detuvo ante las advertencias de Scott.
Una historia muy parecida
al caso Zimmerman-Martin, lo único diferente es que el que disparó, Roderick
Scott, fue un hombre de la raza negra, quien al igual que Zimmerman, fue
arrestado y acusado de asesinato. Un gran jurado recomendó que se bajara la
acusación a asesinato impremeditado, lo que fue aceptado por la fiscalía.
Meses después se celebró
el juicio y Scott fue declarado no culpable de la muerte de Cervini, un joven
de solo 16 años y que estaba desarmado; era un joven estudiante con honores.
El padre de Cervini, Jim,
escucho el veredicto y declaró poco después que “el mensaje es que podemos
salir y conseguir armas y salir y decir que disparamos porque nos sentimos
amenazados, mi hijo nunca amenazo a Scott, era un niño amable, su naturaleza
era gentil. Era una buena persona y nunca fue detenido y nunca ha estado en
problemas, tenia 16 años y cuatro meses y fue asesinado”.
Estas declaraciones distan
mucho de las hechas por los que apoyan a Martin, desde el presidente Obama,
hasta Jackson y Sharpton incluyendo los propios padres del joven muerto.
Existen grandes
similitudes entre los dos casos, sin embargo los líderes negros han salido a
crear problemas entre las comunidades en lugar de buscar paz, y en paz, tratar
de buscar posibles soluciones que quizás puedan evitar consecuencias fatales
como las ocurridas.
El presidente Obama
recientemente declaró que si Trayvon fuera blanco el resultado podría haber
sido diferente. Sin embargo, en NHR.com hemos expuesto los dos escenarios y el
resultado no fue diferente; al comparar las dos situaciones y de acuerdo con lo
expuesto en el juicio, Zimmerman llegó a ser atacado.
Xavier Suárez presenta fórmula para evitar cierre de bibliotecas
públicas
• Envía la propuesta en carta al alcalde Giménez
MIAMI, 25 DE JULIO DE
2013, NHR.com—Con el propósito de
evitar el cierre de bibliotecas públicas anunciado por el alcalde de
Miami-Dade, Carlos Giménez, el comisionado condal Xavier Suárez le envió una
carta cuyo texto en español llegó a la redacción de NHR.com.
En la misiva al alcalde,
Suárez dice lo siguiente: Existen unas cuatro <store-front libraries>,
situadas en instalaciones pertenecientes a la Ciudad de Miami (Culmer, Lemon
City, Shenandoah, y Virrick Park). Tomando como ejemplo a Virrick Park,
localizada en mi distrito, cuyo alquiler ha sido exento por la Ciudad de Miami
(bajo el acuerdo inter municipal de Junio 3, 2003), los costos de operación
tienen un monto de unos $334,000 anuales. De esa cantidad, alrededor de
$208,000 son destinados a personal; $15,000 gastos generales; $22,000
mantenimiento; y $80,000 de gastos misceláneos. En el caso de Virrick Park,
estoy dispuesto a ofrecer dos empleados a tiempo completo, más un
supervisor part-time, para manejar la biblioteca durante el curso de un año
fiscal.
Pienso que la Ciudad de
Miami pudiera donar los gastos de mantenimiento, absorbiendo los gastos
generales, disminuyendo considerablemente el costo de operaciones. Este sistema
puede ser replicado en las instalaciones mencionadas anteriormente.
Con respecto a las
bibliotecas <store-front> más típicas, como el caso de Lakes of the
Meadow, pudiera convencerse al propietario que exonere el alquiler. De esa
forma, solo habría que costear un personal esencial y gastos mínimos de
operaciones y mantenimiento. El acceso al internet no debe ser reducido, más
bien incrementado por el IT (Information Technology) Department del Condado,
que prestaría sus servicios. Estamos hablando de un máximo de 20 empleados, que
equivalen al 4% de su fuerza laboral”.
NHR.com estará al tanto de
la consideración y respuesta que pueda darle el alcalde Giménez a la propuesta
de Xavier Suárez.
