John T. William's

I just watched the dash camera video of John T. William's shotting. All I can say is WTF (where the fire which may not make since but I do not like to swear). I was originally going to blog about the excessive force the police used against protesters and then I saw to video. Oh my goodness. I do believe that there was so much excessiveness that I cannot even describe it. I remember going every week to Pike Place and seeing John carve. My mom who works for Seattle Parks and Recreation remembers having to clean up the shavings from his wood carving. Another part of my knowing or John is that my mom's ex-boyfriend is from the same tribe as him. I remember as a child going to the reservation up in Canada and eating his mom's homemade blackberry pie and freshly BBQ'd seal meat. That was the good times. I also remember fishing up there and eating it fresh. I am so astonished at how brutal our police has become. Please tell me how you all feel about this.

Egypt

I am so exited for those who live in Egypt and are now free. The battle seemed long and hard on our end. The strength and the togetherness that it took. I am amazed at your countries strength to keep protesting even though people we being jailed, beaten, even killed. I am so happy for you and that you get to hopefully move into a democracy.
