Documentary Filmmaker, Christian Poveda sheds light on a subject, that is filled with dark circumstances, and is surrounded by violence.  His newest documentary, La Vida Loca, focuses on the daily life in a cell of one of the biggest cliques of M-18 in San Salvador, El Salvador.
20 years after a revolutionary war that devastated the nation, a new civil war has begun. This social unrest could have been contained within the U.S., but in 1996, the Illegal Immigrant Reform and the Immigrant Responsibility Act was put into affect, and it allowed the U.S.A. to deport more than 100,000 gang members, originally detained on U.S. soil, back to where they came from.Take a look at the trailer here.

Frank Says Legalize

Wednesday, July 30th, 2008

Showing that there might just be some hope yet for the U.S government to do something that makes sense, representative Barney Frank of Massachusetts has said “the U.S. should stop arresting responsible marijuana users.”

Frank, along with Texas Republican Ron Paul, has put forth House Resolution 5843, entitled “The Personal Use of Marijuana by Responsible Adults Act of 2008″. If HR 5843  passes, the bill will support marijuana smokers possessing up to 100 grams - about 3½ ounces - of cannabis, without being arrested. It would also give its blessing to the “nonprofit transfer” of up to an ounce of marijuana.

The resolution does not address laws forbidding growing, importing, exporting, or selling it for profit. The resolution also does not speak to state laws regarding marijuana use.

Current laws targeting marijuana users place undue burdens on law enforcement resources, punish ill Americans whose doctors have prescribed the substance, and unfairly affect African-Americans, said Frank. He went on to state, “The vast amount of human activity ought to be none of the government’s business. I don’t think it is the government’s business to tell you how to spend your leisure time.”

Leave it up to a guy named Frank to finally bring some common sense to Washington.

New York’s Finest x Critical Mass

Via BoingBoing

Although a judge ruled in 2006 that the monthly Critical Mass bicycle rides could proceed without a permit, the NYPD’s stance remains somewhat adversarial. Though the city has not been enforcing the controversial parade permit law when it comes to Critical Mass, police have been ticketing cyclists during the ride for such infractions as not having the required lights.A representative for TIMES UP! tells us that the cyclist in this video was arrested, held for 26 hours, and charged with attempted assault and resisting arrest.
