Supreme Court Death Sentence on Alaskan Lake
In a 6-3 decision, the U.S. Supreme Court has given Lower Slate Lake in the Tongass National Forest of Alaska, a death sentence. The ruling overturns a 9th District Court decision that revoked the permit issued by the Army Corps of Engineers that allowed Coeur Alaska’s Kensington gold mine to dump its mine tailings directly into the lake, killing all aquatic life in it. The Clean Water Act clearly states that you can’t dump mine waste into a water body, but the Corp of Engineers cleverly changed the name “waste” to “fill” and permitted the action, essentially killing the lake. I find this decision appalling and in defiance of logic. Where is the justice in a decision like this. Are the 370 well paying jobs that this mining operation is creating worth the environmental destruction that it creates? I don’t think so.

Wrongful conviction isn’t an epidemic that is new to our country. But through DNA evidence we’re learning how prevalent it is. From the University of Miami Innocent Project: Florida has one of the highest rates for wrongful convictions in the nation. Since 1973, over 24 Florida death row prisoners have been exonerated through the use of DNA and other scientific practices not available at the time they were convicted. But lack of DNA is not the only reason for wrongful convictions, false confidence in eye witness identification, improper police procedures and ineffective counsel can all add to a wrongful conviction. 
Well, My 2009 hasn’t started off as well as I would have liked. But, I refuse to let it get me down. I went to get some Ice Cream on New years EVE…and next thing i know. I was given a $300 Handicap parking ticket. Normally, I just pay what ever they claim I should. But this time, it was completely unfair, and un-just. So this is part 1, of my Adventure for JUSTICE. I also have other videos, I will post to show you how up the year has started….It might have to be its own series…lol This video is really intended to show that sometimes…its not about race. Sometimes its all about whats right..and whats wrong. We have all been screwed over by a cop in our lives. AND this is just my story. I hope you guys enjoy this. Just for the record. IM THE REALEST DUDE to EVER POST ON YOUTUBE…LOL
