This was King’s first appearance on the nation’s most prestigious news show.

This quotation illustrates a new tactic adopted by the Immigration Reform Movement (FIRM) in 2014. They trained very young children (with their parents permission) in how to handle themselves in a protest when the police arrive and tell them to disperse. By having children as young as 11 protesting shutting down streets in Washington so that they would get arrested. Coping with young children committing civil disobedience was something the police were not used to and involved much more complex procedures than arresting adult demonstrators. In addition, the sight of such young children being arrested for civil disobedience attracted much attention from the media, thereby publicizing the immigration issue. Elias and his mother were both U. S. citizens. In 2006 Elias’s father, an undocumented Mexican immigrant, returned to Mexico to apply for a visa to visit his wife and son. He was denied, so he crossed the border without papers. He was deported from the family home in 2008 and Elias and his mother had not seen him since then. Under the then existing immigration rules and laws, even a person whose spouse and children were U. S. citizens residing in America, could not even get a visa to visit them much less get citizenship. The Obama administration’s “family friendly” policies collapsed with immigration where the policies broke up otherwise intact families.

In developed nations land tends to be fungible—there is a fair market value to land and there is little emotional attachment to a particular piece of land. However for aborigines and citizens of many lesser developed countries, land is not fungible. Ancestor burial, tradition, family identity, dignity requires a particular plot of land—not just acreage. So taking of land—even with monetary compensation—is often liable to induce violent protest.

Most of the Southern racist members of Congress really did see any demonstration for civil rights as a threat—a threat to the Southern white way of life. And the threat was that most fair minded Americans would be exposed to the evils of segregation and pass Civil Rights legislation. Most of the other members of Congress totally rejected this explanation of why the legislation was being debated. See {637396} .

King and his associates along with a large number of students were arrested for protesting racial discrimination in Selma. The Chief of police was told that this is just what King wanted. His was a deliberate attempt to get publicity by arresting and prosecuting a group of ministers and school children. So Chief Baker told King that they were not under arrest. So King went outside the jail where many journalists had congregated, hastily called a press conference, and publicly admitted to deliberately drawing attention to the conditions.

Brandt was released shortly thereafter. Russell was considered a trouble maker by the Americans and England as well as by the Communist leaders.

Armenia has no tradition for freedom of speech and assembly, and little respect for Human Rights. This quotation illustrates what many of our American lawmakers were concerned with when they prohibited the military from being used domestically against civilians.

This quotation is typical of the anti-government intense feeling, paranoia, and hyperbole of the early 21st century. While a minority of the American population identify with the Tea Party, the Center for a Stateless Society, and other anti-government groups. However, the orthodox members of both of the major political parties tended to avoid publicly criticizing these individuals and organizations lest they end up with an opponent in their next primary election which did not succeed in the majority of cases, but in all cases, it cost the politician a great deal of money, time, and energy to run a primary campaign which often weakens them for the general election that follows.

Earlier, a virtually all white police force in nearby 67% Black Ferguson, had shot an unarmed black young man who was 20 feet away with his hands up, 7 times killing him and then leaving the body uncovered on the street for over 4 hours. Many people of all races began to peacefully demonstrate in Ferguson and were met with military assault weapons pointed at them and military armored vehicles, with the police illegally (as later determined by the courts) were interfering with the right to protest. The demonstrations turned to riots and there was looting and arson of business establishments. The demonstrations started to spread to nearby St. Louis and other cities as the news spread. While the Ferguson officials had behaved so badly and stupidly, the St. Louis mayor exhibited democratic leadership that was an example for others. Slay was then a 4 term mayor, being reelected more than any other mayor in St. Louis history, and was one of the outstanding politicians in America.
