No Justice Without Peace
By David Swanson, Remarks at Left Forum
Last night in New York City, by my unscientific estimate, two-thirds of the people on the streets had alcohol in them. A young man celebrating his wedding engagement was stabbed to death. A party a third floor apartment to collapse into the second floor. And the NYPD was busy beating the only sober people in town, the nonviolent activists at Occupy Wall Street. When Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans, the Louisiana National Guard was busy killing people in Iraq. We've done something worse than get our priorities wrong when we've moved resources to harming people rather than helping people.
