rbu 564 -- STATUE OF LIBERTY CRIES OVER CRIME

Why is Liberty under threat over there in #Gerguson ? – 'Coz no justice is honored to its truly legal definition. The Statue of Liberty, "The New Colossus" by the words of American poet Emma Lazarus, covers her face with her palms just to not see the shameful shame of crime impunity.

"I cannot see and do not wish to see,
And that's why I cover the face of me.
And just not to see such a heinous crime,
'Tis sure the stark cruelest of all the time,
"
Said the Statue of Liberty crying,
Her ears open to hear people shouting.
And their words to claim unbiased justice,
To take to court the cruel man of police.

‘Twas in Ferguson recently, to shock,
The whole world that in turn does yell and mock.
A young unarmed man was shot and left dead,
Uncovered, four hours on the street as bed.
And less than human the scene’s been cried out,
For real justice to be honored, no doubt.

O the police is seen militarized,
– With tanks, riffles on alert mobilized.
Protesters, hands up, shout in tears: “Don’t shoot
They’re just unarmed women and guys on foot.

The shameful shame of crime impunity,
Has justice to deal with in Missouri.
Statue of Liberty cries over crime.
The bomb of violence is not to prime!


Americans as all peoples love peace,
And call for the atrocity to cease.

The police in Ferguson, a town of about 21K, have sonic lasers, tanks, and assault rifles. To call them militarized is to speak the truth. People in Gaza are now tweeting advice on how to deal with tear gas to the people of Ferguson, Missouri. Epic photo of Howard University Students today, with their hands up, Don't Shoot. #Ferguson is trending on twitter in Iran. Is this a foreshadowing of things to come?
An unarmed young man was shot by a police officer multiple times and left dead in the street for 4 hours, his body uncovered. Of course people are protesting, hurt, afraid. Why the hell didn't the police chief simply relieve the officer of duty and put him on trial? Whats really going on here? No justice, no peace. Anonymous has declared a cyber war on the city tonight, and is hacking into the city government computers, shutting them down, and distributing the names, addresses and telephone numbers of city officials. This is blowing up big, and somethings gotta give. No justice, no peace.
