The 5th Amendment should be respected in Boston bombing case



by Wesley Dugle Apr 24, 2013 7:09 pm Tags: 5th amendment, bombings, Boston Marathon, due process, Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev, law, terrorists







Wesley Dugle is a contributing writer.





One of my personal beliefs I hold very true to myself is that even in the face of destruction, one should never compromise their morals.



In this country, those morals take the form of our Constitution and our Bill of Rights.



These documents are sacred to us, they define being American, it’s what our country was founded on and I firmly believe that these ideals should not be compromised.



One of those rights is the right to due process.



Last week, terrorists bombed the Boston Marathon which killed four people, including a small child and wounded more than 100.





In its aftermath, we saw these morals bent and even questioned.



Following the attacks, an unprecedented number of National Guard and police were sent into the city of Boston to find two suspects named Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev.



After Dzhokar Tsarnaev was captured (Tamerlan was killed by the police) people, such as senator Lindsey Graham and various other media and political talking heads, have been calling for his head, saying we should ignore due process and charge him as an enemy combatant without rights.



Doing such things runs contrary to the morals this country was founded on.



The Fifth Amendment in our Constitution clearly states that citizens cannot be deprived of their right to due process and, whether you like it or not, Tsarnaev is one.



Due process is not just an American right though — it’s a human right and one that should be respected.



Just because the media says the suspect is guilty does not necessarily mean so and even with the evidence in place, there still needs to be a trial.



I’m not saying this man is innocent by any stretch, but the law is the law and the law says innocent until proven guilty.



By putting this man through the courts we ensure justice is done and we have proven beyond a reasonable doubt that he really did all these horrible things.



If we ignore these rights we become no better than the third-world countries these terrorists often come from and we essentially prove that we can be just as capable of tyranny.



We give all the potential terrorists in the world talking points for new recruits saying, “See? Look how easily they abandon the law each time we attack them. They’re tyrants!”



If we choose to throw out the Bill of Rights each time the public deems someone a terrorist, not the courts, then we are no longer a society ruled by the courts and the law.



We become one ruled by the mob.



Now to those who say we should charge Tsarnaev as an enemy combatant, all I have to ask is, ever heard of the Nuremberg Trials?



Following World War II, the U.S. and Allied powers gave every single Nazi and Japanese war criminal due process and put them on trial.



Now you cannot tell me with a straight face that somehow Tsarnaev deserves less, or that his crimes are on the same level as those monsters of World War II, who killed thousands of people.



Hell, the shooter in Aurora, Colorado last year killed more people and he is still getting a trial. What’s the difference?



Why do we do this you ask? Because that’s true justice, that’s showing the rest of the world that you may attack us, you may kill our people, but we’ll never stoop down to your level.



If we do, that’s revenge and that’s not real justice.



Being bloodthirsty neanderthals won’t bring our beloved dead back nor will it change what happened.



By turning the other cheek we show the world we are stronger than those who try to hurt us.



The point of a terrorist attack is not to win any battles or wars, but to cause terror and get the country pissed off enough to do something tyrannical to further justify their cause.



We should prove them otherwise, and I hate to use internet lingo here, by not feeding the trolls.



Think about it. What would piss off all the potential terrorists in the world more than showing them we are unafraid of them and that even in the face of devastation we still show them justice by trial?



Killing them outright doesn’t intimidate them — merely makes them martyrs which only gives them fuel for their radical beliefs.



We have laws and rights for a reason and, whether you like it or not, this man, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, whether he is guilty or not, deserves due process.



Simply put, if we bend on one rule then it makes it too easy to do the same for everything else.



You are opening a door that may be difficult for the government to close by doing so. It basically tells them that anybody can have their rights stripped if the mob deems you unworthy of them — not the courts.



If the rules can be thrown out each time the people or the government deems something as a security risk or someone as an enemy combatant then there is really no point in having them.



Rule by mob is not justice, it’s barbaric and we must stand as an example to the rest of the world when these tragic events happen, because without our morals, without our Bill of Rights, we are nothing.

Bush legacy

So there have been plenty of Presidents who slaughtered millions! The Civil War was one of the most horrendous wars. It had the highest casualty rate, considering the population, of any war that the U.S. has ever fought,and virtually pitting brother against brother, fathers against sons, just slaughtering each other. Just horrible.

The question they need to put to the American public is: "Is that oil really worth American blood and the lives of your boys? Is it worth fighting & dying just to keep the price of gasoline down so you can go for more joy rides?--Is it worth your boys?" Well, as far as I'm concerned, it's not worth it!

A great columnist that said, if they'd put the presidents, kings and the politicians into the battlefield, you'd never have any more wars.--Because it's not the people who make the wars who have to fight them. If the people who actually made the wars and got the World into wars had to themselves personally fight them, there'd never be another war!

Boston Marathon bombing hits home

Boston Marathon bombing hits home



by Margaret Baum Apr 17, 2013 10:15 pm Tags: 1996 Summer Olympics, Atlanta, Boston Marathon







Margaret Baum is the Spartan Daily Executive Editor, her column appears every other Monday.





I was sitting down eating lunch on Monday when I got a news alert on my iPhone. The alert said two explosions had gone off at the finish line of The Boston Marathon.



I remember that moment very clearly. In a single moment my heart sank.



I remember scrolling through my Facebook newsfeed just moments before I heard the news of the explosions. A friend that I had gone to college with in Boston right after high school was running the marathon that morning. She had already posted some photos of herself in Boston that morning.



My first thought was to go to her page and find out if she was OK. By the time I found her page again, I was relieved to find that she had finished and already left the area before the bombs went off.



My mom told me, "I never thought this would happen in Boston." I know that sounds like one of those things that people always say whenever there is a tragedy, but this felt different.



My phone started ringing off the hook with calls from family and friends. My Facebook feed was full of posts from people I know on the East Coast and all around the country.



This incident really hit home for me. I love Boston. I know that everyone loves their favorite cities. For me, Boston was home. I lived there for two years. I went to school there. I often dream about going back there. It is the place I started my adult life.



After high school, I felt the need to get away and start over and Boston was the place where I decided to begin a new chapter of my life.



Boylston and Newbury Streets were two of my favorite places in the city. I often went to the movie theater on Boylston Street or would window shop or grab ice cream with friends on Newbury Street.



Even though I wasn't physically in Boston that day, part of me is always there. Sometimes I still feel like the wide-eyed 18-year-old girl I was then, exploring the city and taking in all the history it had to offer.



I have this connection to the city. It is a connection that can never be broken no matter how long I stay away. I've heard numerous heart wrenching stories about the bombing on Monday and mine seems minuscule compared to some of the others, but it is my own.



I had a strange feeling that this event had a familiar feel to it, but I couldn't put my finger on what it was. It finally all made sense to me yesterday morning as I was streaming the White House Press Conference on my phone.



I have read a lot of stories about Monday's incident. Many of these stories describe how the bombs were made.



A New York Times story posted on Tuesday read,"The explosives that killed three people and injured more than 170 during the Boston Marathon on Monday were most likely rudimentary devices made from ordinary kitchen pressure cookers, except they were rigged to shoot sharp bits of shrapnel into anyone within reach of their blast and maim them severely, law enforcement officials said Tuesday."



As I continued reading that story, it was the next line that really hit home for me. "The pressure cookers were filled with nails, ball bearings and black powder, and the devices were triggered by 'kitchen-type' egg timers, one official said."



It reminded me so much of another bombing that I remember vividly. I was a young girl at the time and there was no way I could understand what happened then.



I was just 12 years old when it happened. My parents and I had been staying at one of my father's friends homes in Atlanta, Georgia for the Summer Olympics.



I don't remember our entire trip, but I do remember parts of the night of July 27, 1996.  I remember waking up right around the time that reports later said the bomb went off.



I walked into the room where my parents were sleeping. I woke my mom up and said, "Mom, I can't sleep and I don't know why." I was so freaked out for some reason.



I never knew why or how I woke up that night. Eventually we turned on the TV to hear the news of what had happened at Centennial Park.



I only slightly understood, but I knew it was something bad and I knew that people had gotten hurt. I don't remember the explanation that my parents provided. I do remember a few of the questions that ran through my head that night.



Why did this happen? Why would someone do this? Why would someone want to hurt people?



Now that I'm quite a bit older, I see things differently, as I should. I still have those questions floating in my head, but my perspective has changed.



I have felt a range of emotions over the last few days.



I realized that as people often say, things like this do happen and they can happen everywhere.



Does that mean everyone should live in fear? I don't know that I have the answer to that. I certainly would understand if some people didn't run marathons or races out of fear of similar incidents. Personally, I will go on living my life as I always have.



I will always have a special place in my heart for Boston. As I told my boyfriend last night, "Boston was the place I started my journey that led me to where I sit at this moment."



My condolences go out to everyone affected by this tragedy.



In some ways I am still that 12-year-old girl. I won't say that I understand why some people do the things that they do. Seeing the photos and hearing the stories of this tragedy made me physically ill. I wondered why someone would do something like this. I always ask myself that question when our nation faces a tragedy such as this one.



Looking back, I asked myself the same thing in Atlanta as a little girl and once again on 9/11.



I may never fully understand why things like this happen.



As a journalist, I haven't had to deal with reporting on tragedies such as these but I know that someday I might.



I believe that from a journalistic standpoint the best thing that can be done in a tragedy is to get information out to the public as soon as possible. I strongly believe that and were I among the journalists reporting on this tragedy I would try my best to do just that.

Frank Capra
Thsank you, Ted Rudow III, MA, Encina Ave, Palo Alto, CA for this wonedrful reminder of a wonderful life: ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’ is a 1946 American drama film produced and directed by Frank Capra, that was based on the short story “The Greatest Gift”, written by Philip Van Doren Stern in 1939, and privately published by the author in 1945. This is director Frank Capra’s classic bittersweet comedy/drama about George Bailey (James Stewart), the eternally-in-debt guiding force of a bank in the typical American small town of Bedford Falls. A desperate George appeals to Potter for a loan. Potter mockingly and coldly turns George down, and then swears out a warrant for his arrest for bank fraud. A flood of townspeople arrive with more than enough donations to save George and the Building and Loan. This is the most wonderful life in the world– thankfulness and being content. It’s full of lessons on fighting, on perseverance, on pouring time into others, on inspiring confidence, not giving up, on ...

Fracking

http://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2013/04/21/18735610.php






Fracking

by Ted Rudow III, MA ( Tedr77 [at] aol.com )

Sunday Apr 21st, 2013

The chemicals used in fracking are highly diluted and natural gas is clean and abundant and fracking will provide many needed jobs. The promotional language that fracking has been unrolled across our nation. One of my biggest concerns is what fracking does to air quality. Our other Western states like Colorado showing that drilling and fracking operations are almost always accompanied by spikes in ground-level ozone -- smog.





Of all human cancers, bladder cancer is the one most likely to recur. Atrazine is one of the weed killers that we use in the United States and it's either the number one or number two weed killer. And interestingly it's banned for use in the European Union. Look it as an issue of a woman's reproductive rights. You know, a woman's body is the incubator and the first environment for a child. And that surely the flipside of Planned Parenthood is to be able to plan a parenthood and carry it out without other people's toxic chemicals interfering with it.



So do chemicals, like people are they innocent until proven guilty? Are they allowed on the market first until we can prove by dying or by harmed children that the chemicals should not be on the market? Or are we going to create precondition to say that before a chemical can be marketed you have to demonstrate through careful testing that almost certainly no one is going to get hurt.

Avoid being another domino in superpower’s game

Ted Rudow III, MA, Encina Ave, Palo Alto, CA



They have been a prey to America, and have been battered about and besieged on all sides, economically and militarily. So as Iran has been a tool in a hammer, it shall also endure suffering and pain, and attack by America. This shall drive a great wedge between America and Europe. But this tool is not enough to balance things, and as has been written by the journalists, Iran knows it shall be targeted, as Iraq was targeted and as Libya was targeted.

Those that are targeted and have been targeted have a unity in that they have been victimized by this threat, this superpower, America. So listen not, hearken not to those that cry, “Peace, peace,” for there shall not be peace. There shall not be one world brought about through peaceful means. But there shall be one world that is a result of war, economic collapse and disasters.

The Arabs and Muslims of the world think it’s unjust–and they’re right! The U.S. is simply picking on a stubborn little trouble-making individual and country which most of the rest of the world doesn’t like either, so they figure they can get away with it without any big problems. If that domino falls, then you may well see some Arab and Muslim nations fall as well, further polarising the world.

Poor plaintiff’s right to attorney







Ted Rudow III, MA, Encina Ave, Palo Alto, CA







Of the 2.2 million inmates in the United States, more than sixty percent are members of racial and ethnic minorities, and the law puts a disproportionate number of them on death row. That Supreme Court decision, Gideon, 50 years ago said, “You have the right to an attorney in a criminal case, even if you cannot afford it.” When the justices ruled in Gideon’s favour, hundreds of prisoners who also had been denied their legal rights were freed or given new trials and our current system of public defenders was born.

For decades the poor had really been very vulnerable in our criminal court system and frequently faced very severe punishments alone. What Gideon did was basically say that our constitution requires that we treat people equally when their life and when their liberty is at risk. And it changed the way we thought about counsel for the poor in this country. We have tolerated extremely bad lawyering in these cases.

The average disbarment rate in most states is about one percent of lawyers. In Washington State, one percent of lawyers end up disbarred or suspended. But the “Seattle Post-Intelligencer” looked at all the 84 cases that resulted in death sentences and found that 20 percent of those cases involved lawyers who were later suspended or disbarred.
