Since crack cocaine offenses receive sentences which are 100 times longer than the corresponding powder cocaine offense, legions of prisoners feel their legal recourse is no better than grasping at straws. The progress of the legislative proposal to reduce crack sentences was thus followed and discussed intensely, virtually from its introduction.
This 'reporter' should be fired for his bias. The Murdoch punks running Fox (into the ground!) hate Trump. These riots will only boost Trump's numbers because the vast majority of Americans want Law and Order and real Justice for all of these lawbreakers. Save our Country and Make America Great Again. The other numbers felt left behind and started a riot. Soon all the 1 bits joined the riot, All except one. The alpha 1 bit. You will play as the alpha zero bit, you will try to restore order, find the alpha 1 bit and then together to battle the riot leader. BISHOPVILLE, S.C. (AP) — A year after seven South Carolina inmates died in an insurrection, myriad security measures are in place to crack down on the illegal cellphone use that facilitated the.
It’s time to admit that, given the current atmosphere in our great country, the idea of stopping illegal immigration has faded from most people’s minds.
Riot Of The Numbers Cracker Barrel
If Donald Trump wants to get re-elected, he must move his most prominent 2016 campaign issue to the back burner. Illegal immigration reform has been a major talking point in every presidential election as far back as anyone can remember.
Among the issues that have come to the forefront are COVID-19 and racially charged riots. Trump needs to ramp his effort in to crack down on these riots because Americans do not feel safe. The number one job of the president is protecting the country from all enemies, foreign and domestic. This is not about Black Lives Matter anymore. Trump needs to flex his proverbial presidential muscles and start putting these domestic terrorists in federal prison and scare them straight.
It is a federal crime to use interstate routes to incite, organize, promote or participate in a riot, or to extend activities of a riot, or to aid and abet any person performing such activities, also known as the Anti-Riot Act (Title X of the 1968 Civil Rights Act). Using the power granted to him by this act, to the fullest extent of the law, would almost guarantee Trump a 2020 victory.

Announcer: Michigan State police has just asked some of the men to quit firing because they are firing right over our head. As we are now all pinned down on the South side of the drive.
Announcer: Riot shattered American cities in 1967. United Press International looks back at the story of the year, The Summer of Unrest, next on 1967 In Review.
Riot Of The Numbers Cracking
Floyd McKissick: 'This summer is going to be a most difficult summer. I don’t think that there’s any city of any size in the United States that can really say that I am going to be free of violence.'
Announcer: Unfortunately, the prediction made by CORE Director, Floyd McKissick, became reality. Dissatisfaction of Negroes with their way of life was cited as one of the prime causes of the riots. In some cases, outside agitators were suspected, but no matter, the summer of 1967 was violent in Newark, Detroit, Milwaukee, and many other cities.
The largest city in New Jersey with over half the population Negro exploded on the night of July 12th.
Newsman: 'A fire fight between national guardsmen and a number of people in the --'
Announcer: It also happened in Detroit on July 23rd, the city was ablaze in the white area with trembling fingers of flame lighting the black sky.
Unknown Speaker: 'The crack of snipers rifles continue as morning comes to Detroit. About 30 bright orange balls of flame, along with bulging black smoke herald, continued activity of arsenals, looters burning their stores behind them.
Riot Of The Numbers Cracks
'Paratroopers ordered to the nation’s fifth largest city by President Johnson are in armored vans rumbling through riot torn sections of Detroit. I took my tape recorder to a number of gun battles in the city last night, and this is how it sounded.'
Unknown Speaker 1: '...calling radio.'
Unknown Speaker 2: 'Put your lights out, put your lights out.'
Unknown Speaker 3: 'Utter chaos is one way to describe the devastation in Detroit’s inner city area.'
Announcer: So it continued seven days later in Milwaukee. Well, the cities where riots occurred, the total loss in dollars is estimated at over $600 million, but a bigger loss, 84 dead. After the week of rioting in Detroit, President Johnson addressed the nation.
President Lyndon Johnson: 'I am tonight appointing a special Advisory Commission on civil disorders. The Commission will investigate the origins of the recent disorders in our cities. It will make recommendations to me, to the Congress, to the State Governors and to the Mayors, for measures to prevent or contain such disasters in the future.'
Announcer: Thoughtless looting, rioting, and killing made an ugly stain on the 1967 calendar of news. Many Negroes believe the cause is right in the ghetto where dirt and slums breed rats in hate.
Unknown Speaker: 'They give us the projects, they give us nice homes, but they put the price up so high. They charged us $100 a month to live in a house. Not only do we live in there, but here we got rats walking, open up your front door. And if you look wrong at them, if you look wrong at the rats, they are going to jump right on you. They eat up your babies, they bite your babies, if I am lying -- you think I am lying, I will take you right over my house right now, and I have no rats over there, but you see the lady next door and you see her baby. And that’s wrong, that is not right.'
Announcer: And to some Negroes, like militant H. Rap Brown, there was only one solution, he said it in Washington on July 27th.
H. Rap Brown: 'You have got to arm yourself because the man is ready, and he is going to turn black policeman against you. You can no longer sit back. You have got to get yourself some gun, because if you don’t get guns, then your daughters will have to get guns, if they are still here.'
Announcer: United Press International's review of the news will continue after this message.
