BREAKING NEWS: Zacarias Moussaoui, the only person held in the attacks on America on September 11, 2001, has been sentenced to like in prison without the possibility of parole.
Moussaoui will rot in prison for the rest of his life. But from what the news is reporting, it was NOT a unanimous verdict. The majority of the jury concluded that some mitigating circumstances, including his upbringing, may have contributed to him joining the terror group al-Qaeda.
MAY DAY PROTESTS
Well, the protests were two days ago, and the stores are still open. In fact, I only know of two establishments of which had to close on the 1st, throughout the whole state of Oregon. Both were Burger Kings, who didn't have enough employees show up to stay open.
Over 1 Million people protested H.R. 4437, which would make all people who enter America illegally, felons. However, it sounded more like the protests took place to protest the U.S. stance on immigrants altogether (Leave a comment if you think I'm wrong...or right).
But I don't think the numbers are in yet, as far as financial damage. Since it was an economic boycott, the only way to see if it was truly effective is to wait for monthly earning reports. I know that many immigrants (illegal, legal, naturalized citizens) did not skip work and protest, due to the concern that they may not have a job on the 2nd.
I can understand wanting rights (if you're here legally), but the economic protest probably hurt this country. How does that help you? Doesn't it also damage the economy you've been working for? The one you, and everyone else, relies on?
Maybe I'm wrong, but maybe not...
