If a Tree Fall's

If a Tree Falls

This article that I read entitled If a Tree Falls was a very unique, and interesting article, and I liked it very well. It was mainly about this guy who goes by the name Curry Marshall, who has a degree in comparative religion, from Swarthmore college, and experience as a senior producer at a New York multimedia design firm. He got his first start in film making, by directing and editing the 2005 documentary Street Fight.  This marvelous documentary that he shot was about the grassroots, the underdog candidate, named Cory Booker’s attempt to unseat Sharpe James, the longtime mayor of Newark.

 His fans or his audience was very impressed by this major achievement, by the determination to cover of the campaign, despite James’ attempt to control all media coverage, of his public appearances. This film was so tremendous, and marvelous, it aired on PBS, and then later on, it got two Oscars and Emmy nomination. But to sum up this article, called If a Tree Falls it tells you a true story of a environmental Earth Liberation, Front activist, Daniel McGowan, who faced life in prison, for his participation in the burning of two timber facilities. This film have received  best documentary awards , and a Best Documentary Editing Award. This article if watched by many people should take you back to the tragic 9/11 event and shows you how we need to enforce the 9/11 policies more.

The Green Scare mainly introduced the lexicon in 2003, this Green Scare is a term which means, the orchestrated campaign, to paint their movement as a form of domestic terrorism. This term Green Scare seeks a lot of attention, to explain why so many environmental activists appear on the FBI’s Most Wanted List. As well as why and how some activists end up in maximum security prisons. In this film If a Tree Falls, nobody doesn’t mention the word the Green Scare by name, but it does show what the Green Scare is, in action.

Within two decades, the United States has had experienced multiple assaults on the twin towers, in NYC, and the horrific bombing of government offices in Oklahoma.  In the 1990’s, both local and national news stations,  started to inform the term “terrorists”, to environmental activists, who had never harmed, or killed a human being in any way. Law enforcement has directly focused on the environmental activists in a violent way. By intimidating the people who been protesting in the streets.  

If a tree falls is a very bad, but yet difficult, film to watch, mainly because of the police who assaulted peaceful, nonviolent resistant, environmental protesters, with strong-arm tactics, and with chemical weapons? The most memorable scene from this article is, when police officers held the heads, of young female activists, who sat with their arms linked together, while other officers apply liquid pepper spray, directly to their eyes, with Q-Tips. Which is extremely uncaused for, and wrong of the police to act in an idiotic way?

One thing that I didn’t know about this article If a Tree Fall, was that it was a article and a film. Also this article was very informative to me, as well as to others, who had read it. Also it tells you, and goes step by step, what this article is about, as well as the cause and effect of this article.

G-20 Benton 102 500 Word Essay

In the article that I read, entitled A Different Sort of Hope: What I learned in Pittsburg, Part 2, which was a good article to read. Because in my opinion, it was very informative to me, as well as to others, who have read it. In this article, it was a main focus on the G-20, and explaining how the G-20 event held in Pittsburg, is either a very good thing, or a very bad thing. In this event of the second march, at Pittsburg they planned to once again, attend another downtown march, at the convention area, and then march across the city, to join up with the resist G-20 non-permit protest.

 When they finally arrived, they still set eyes and saw the protestors, as well as groups of tourist. And not to forget about the police, who was armed, and ready with extreme back up, with their horses by their side? The police was armed heavily, from head to toe, as they were walking, they noticed a group of Japanese tourists, with the G20 badge around their necks. A person from this camp was taking pictures of this event, as well as with groups of attractive females.

 And the officers allowed them to take pictures, but someone ask the officer can you take a picture with use. And the officer didn’t seem happy, about being in a picture. But while they was in the group trying to see if the officer would want to take a picture with us, somebody snapped a picture without any permission. As being view by us, we seen people marching with signs held in their hands. Christian people, who had attended the march, shouted we should follow Jesus.

 Amazingly, and shockingly, 420 activists used this opportunity of the G20 event, to advance their voices to be heard, for freely obtained legal weed. It took us two hours to walk across the city, to join up with the Arsenal Park protest rally. But when we got there, we were shocked, and surprised, that the place we were trying to go to see had been blocked off. As well as many other streets, so now we are walking our legs off, and very tired.

 So we decided to try to find another way around the road blocks, there wasn’t really any short cuts, because of all the roads had been blocked off. So we took the long route. Now it’s night time, of our day two event, and we didn’t even get to make it at the protest. But luckily we were able to talk to the patrons, and they informed us, that everyone was warned away, because of the media promoted narrative, of violence. But the Patrons that I talked to, on most of the trip, told me how we feared the local media.

 Later that night, we saw videos of the police, and the black blocks. Which are marchers who dressed in all black? Because their march wasn’t permitted, so they always had to hide their faces. Later on that night, police began shooting rubber bullets, pepper spray, and tear gas, at the students on the grounds; also they proceeded to fire into the dorm balconies, and stairwells, at students, simply observing the confrontation. Which had no reason for, this article mainly talks about how the G-20 is being held, and what happens at the G-20, and how the top 20 richest countries, has the most power to make a major move, to bring good things.

Or at least try to, but on the other hand, the police who promised that they would have a road block,  so that cars wouldn’t be able to come through,  so we could march. Was still active, so theses officers lied to us, on day three we attended the march, and they had music, people sung, various speakers explained their causes, and a general sense of progressive politics was communicated. But Its sadly to say more, people don’t know about the G-20, and when it’s held, or never even heard about it. But they really do need to educate their selves on this information, which is the G-20 held in Pittsburg.

The Last Word Video Responce 500 Words

In this video that I watched, it was very graphic, and disturbing to me, and I know to others viewers who has seen this violent and brutal assault, for no apparent reason. Like the person on MSNBS had said, this new technology that is out, such as a digital camera, or cell phone, can be very useful. But also dangerous, to a person who is being a victim of assault, digital cameras, or a cell phones, with a ability to record, can be a threat to the police, by all means necessary. Especially, when they are caught on camera, in their wrong doing, to others, which in this case, is assault, as well as pepper spraying people, for no apparent reason at all.

Police slammed a man, on the bottom of the front end of  a Volvo, and on his way down, he got slammed on the concrete. All because he was recording this marvelous event, that the whole world needed to see. Because we live in a county, that is supposed to be the land of the free, and our police is suppose to protect us, against violent criminal activity. But then they are mostly the ones, participating in violent criminal activity. So if you ask me, things like this, has been going on way before a person was able to invent the digital camera.

Or before a person was equipped, to start recording brutal activity, or assaults, on a digital camera, or a cell phone. So what does this really say about our police? Or the people that we look up to in our society, the higher authority that is. It seems to me, that they are not no different then a person who broke the law, and got sentenced by a judge. Because you would think, being an officer, or any law enforcement, on the force, of any type, that this would never go on. I will state, that this isn’t suppose to go on, but that don’t mean it doesn’t exist,  around the world. My personal opinion, about this article is, that the biggest threat to a person, or people, is the police.

Or the government, or anything that has to do with the law! Because I take this video, and I take life, like this, you have a badge, or you’re a judge, or you a higher power, then they think they can break the law, because of who they are. And get away with it , without, any consequences.  And that’s mostly true, for the most part, how many time has a person seen on the news, where a police killed a person, who wasn’t a threat to that officer. And the officer, didn’t get know type of incarceration, because of who they are. All the commissioner does is, ask that they resign from the police force, or turn in their badge in, and most of the time the commissioner does nothing.

The real trouble makers, are the ones with the badges, the one with the pepper spray, as well as the guns. Also, I didn’t find anyone doing anything in legal grounds for arrest. It wasn’t just the police who was causing caouse, it was a least one commander, who had slammed a man’s head into a parked Volvo. As well as pepper spraying people, without, any conceivable, justification, at  this horrible event.

Even though you see from this video, it shows you the wrong doing, caused by the police, but the police department is defending its trouble makers, by saying, our police did nothing wrong. But the police department is always a sham, from the start, to finish, to defend the police conduct.  But they worst conclusion, about this video is, that no police will be charged, in a single assault, battery, or lose a day’s pay, and definitely, won’t be arrested.
