President Donald Trump has unleashed another early morning Monday Tweets attacjing Sen. Richard Blumenthal "vietnam record. " This came as a result of Blumenthal's open support on CNN for the investigation into the alleged Russian collision tin last years election. Sen. Blumenthal said,"politicizing the Department of Justice for personal ends, I think, is a disservice to the law, and it’s also potentially a violation of the spirit of the First Amendment." This attack from Sen. Blumenthal got under the President skin, and unlike the predients, Trump.…
The article “Shuttling Between Nations, Latino Gangs Confound the Law”, written by Ginger Thompson, was very informational to me. The counterculture in the article is gang members. Gang members are the counterculture because they are not the most powerful, influential, or widespread on the earth. Gang members are not respected and often times treated terrible. Gang members are not listened to and are supposed to obey the laws of the dominant culture.…
He has claimed that Hispanics are rapists, Muslims being terrorist, and women being pigs. The hatred and disrespectful attitude that Trump has isn’t fit for president. Recently at one of his rallies, he bashed at one of his own supporters simply because her baby began to cry. This shows that if Donald Trump was agitated at a simple, innocent thing, one can imagine the trouble, he would cause to America if a conflict…
In border towns like Juarez, where the drug cartels have city officials in the palms of their hands, border violence is rampant. In Laredo, Texas, my hometown, violence has not reached that level of intensity, but with its status as the largest land port in the country, drug cartels have focused most of their efforts on pushing drugs through its borders. There has even been an increased amount of Border Patrol activity in the surrounding area. What has seen the brunt of the drug cartel violence has been Nuevo Laredo, the sister city of Laredo on the Mexican side of the border.…
In previous years, people would always dream of what the future would be like. Everyone had high hopes for the future. Some do believe America is still the greatest country and will forever remain that way while others believe America, could be better. We have issues with terrorism, police violence and even our politicians can’t get it right half the time. Charles Krauthammer, a writer for the San Bernardino County Sun, expressed in his article In Trump-Clinton Debate, Facts, History and Logic Don’t Matter, Trump has a poor choice of words and blames others for his many mistakes.…
He also has been accused of promoting violence at his rallies. For example, Trump was talking about what he would like the audience to do if they saw someone protesting in the crowd, “Just knock the hell -- I…
At any given moment and location, a conflict is occurring, whether it be a protest, a movement, or even a war. During the 1960’s and 1970’s, the world was slowly but surely progressing through a turbulent era, which included the farm workers’ movement that Cesar Chavez was a part of. Oftentimes, people who are a part of or are just watching a movement and conflict unfold, claim that violence is the best way to get a swift, immediate, and definite result over nonviolence. Violence may be the best way to solve a situation, but is it the most effective and safest way to do so? Although resorting to violence in certain situations is necessary, Cesar Chavez, who published an article in the magazine of a religious organization, effectively argues…
Racism and Violence in the United States The United States has always been a country that is culturally diverse. Regardless of the diversity the U.S has discriminated groups of people that are not recognized as “White”. Since the establishment of the U.S. there has been discrimination of minorities.…
Since America's beginning, there have been multiple conflicts over the respective roles of national and state governments. In fact, the Civil War was actually fought over questions of states' rights. These question included: Can a state create a law that allows for slavery? and Does a state have the right to secede from the Union? Even today we still disagree on power when it comes to the federal government and the state governments.…
Mexico in recent years has become increasingly more violent. However, this seems to be a contradiction to an established theory that through democratization there is less violence. This seems to be an interesting development to Mexico’s recent democratization. So the question remains, did the institutional changes that led to democracy in Mexico result in more violence?…
The constitution in America gives to the Congress the important power of impeachment of high-level federal officials, including the President of the United States. “Without a doubt, impeachment of a sitting president is one of the most serious acts the Congress can undertake.” (Dr. Routh Fall-2015.) Many believe a call for the President of the United States George W. Bush to be Impeached, much less prosecuted criminally, along with Vice President Dick Cheney, Director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) George Tenet, then National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, Secretary of State Colin Powell, because they flagrantly disregard the constitution of the United States and the rule of law..…
you about violence. But I am afraid you won't answer and you will catch up to me. Anyways let's go on with this note to you, violence.…
Throughout history, racial violence has been a vital instrument in upholding white supremacy. Oftentimes, torturers use brutal, humiliating tactics to instill a sense of fear and cowardice within the abused. After the civil war and the emancipation of the slaves, the Reconstruction period brought on intense periods of racial violence due to controversial ideas about the authentic meaning of freedom. Controlled by fear, white men utilized violence to maintain their supremacy above African American men in post-Reconstruction South.…
After finding a Latino homeless man on the streets, two brothers had gone up to him and beat him up later telling the police officers that Donald Trump was correct and that illegal immigrants should be deported (Greenblatt). After Trump gives his speeches about hispanics, muslims, etc… people who tend to agree with him on the situation turn it to violence. He tends to provoke his followers into hurting the people he hates even more by claiming that they are the problem of America and that they shouldn’t be here. His words are affecting people both mentally and physically. Kids are afraid of being deported and families are afraid of being torn apart.…
The advertisement chosen is part of Ecovia: Stop the Violence campaign to promote safe driving with creative imagery and slogans such as “don’t speed”, “don’t drink and drive”, “overtake with care”, and “don’t text and drive”. Their advertisement depicts an individual being uppercut by a lone fist, and vehicles are painted on the punching fist and the victim’s face. It is implied that the vehicles are colliding with each other. The Ecovia “don’t speed” ad features a women being punched by an arm―presumably belonging to a man.…
