Randi Rhoades is talking about the protests

[FlaGranny]

in Miami. Her producer was shot with rubber bullets from 3-feet away, wearing his press pass, earphones, and carrying a microphone in one hand and a camera in the other. There are pictures of his wounds. Another newsman was shot, first. She has it all on tape - it happened on the air. Randi is very angry today. (I had to delete the word I originally used - it was a 6 letter word starting with p and ending in d).

Tune in, if you can.

4. Whoops - thanks for posting the link.

3. I've been listening--man, what a nightmare scene

I can't believe there were tanks in the streets. Randi says they are filing a complaint against the police dept for shooting a member of the press with those rubber bullets. What kind of America do we live in anymore?

[FlaGranny]

5. Actually, they shot two of them,

in the same place. You could hear Tim Allan asking "where do you want me to go?" The police gave no instructions, just opened fire.

11. An EMPIRE, of course

Throughout history, any country that has aspired to empire status has done two things: beggared their population through ruinous taxation to fund military adventures,and heavyhanded repression of that same population to keep them obedient and paying taxes.

It is absolutely essential to keep educating people in the lessons of history. Gawd knows they never got any of it in school.

8. I'm disgusted

Hopefully more people will listen to this .

12. Miami Police Money came from $87. Billion Iraq/Afghanastan Bill

Not Much From Corporate Media - either - Of course not, ABC, CBS, and the rest of them have thier hands in everything that requires cheap goods made in countries that provide nothing for their workers.

OMG they were shooting people yesterday with rubber bullets, it looked like a fucking war zone. Talk about indimidation and bully tactics.

13. Really? I had not heard that

So our swindled $87 billion tax dollars bought the Miami PD those stormtrooper outfits and the rubber bullets? So they could protect those 37 people in the FTAA from demonstrations? How sick is that.
