6-year-old Salecia Johnson.
 
Milledgeville police said they were called to Creekside Elementary School on Friday for an unruly juvenile, who was allegedly throwing a tantrum.
 
According to their report, when the officer arrived, he observed kindergartner Salecia Johnson on the floor of the principal's office screaming and crying.
 
The officer stated in the report that he noticed damage to school property and tried numerous times to calm the girl, who eventually "pulled away and began actively resisting and fighting with me."
 
"The child was then placed in handcuffs for her safety and the officer proceeded to bring her down to the police station," said Chief Dray Swicord.

Corrections Corporation of America Wants to Spend $250 Million to Buy and Privatize Public Prisons.  Please Contact Your Governor on Wednesday, April 18, 2012 and Tell Him or Her to Tell CCA "No" to Prison Privatization.  
Black Star Logo
 
As people of faith, join us in urging our Governors to publicly commit to decline CCA's offer to buy up and privatize state prisons. On Wednesday April 18th, call and ask your State Governor to make a public commitment before June 1, 2012 to decline CCA's offer to privatize prisons. 
 
Recently,Corrections Corporation of America's sent a letter to 48 US Governors offering to spend up to $250 million to buy prisons from state, local, and federal government entities on conditions of a minimum commitment of 20 years for the facility and maintaining 90% capacity over the twenty year period.
 
These outrageous offer strikes at the heart of a democracy grounded in human rights and compassion within our criminal justice system - our beliefs in fair and just punishment, rehabilitative and restorative justice, death and dying with dignity. Out of concern for the mass criminalization and incarceration for all of our brothers and sisters who are racially profiled, rounded up on behalf of the War on Drugs, and warehoused in prisons, we will not be silent!

In Alabama, Man Gets Three Days
in Jail for Sagging Pants
Black Star Logo 
Circuit Judge John Bush told Ramsey his blue jeans were sagging too low and gave him the three-day stint. The judge told Ramsey to buy pants that fit or a belt when he gets out of the county jail.
 
The judge says he finds it disrespectful and a disruption when people wear pants below their waistline in his chambers.

Somebody just tried to kill my little sister! Like most of us, she works hard to put food on the table. She has a son and daughter, both still in diapers. She has a mortgage, student loans, and a greedy little dog named Sir. Everyday she pounds the pavement in and around Chicago, trying to make a living doing real estate.
 
At 9:45 a.m. last Friday, she found herself parked on a residential block in the city's notorious Roseland neighborhood on the far South Side of Chicago. Having just wrapped up a phone call, she put her hand on the door handle to get out of her car. That's when all hell broke loose.

Dear Trayvon
by D.L. Hughley, Comedian and Actor
D.L. Hughley
 
When I was 17 I had dabbled with weed and alcohol, hell I still do (some things never change). I had been expelled from three schools for all sorts of reasons: problems with authority, fighting, and truancy. I did not graduate from high school, and only received my GED years later when I was a husband and a father.
 
Thankfully my life is not the sum parts of who I was and what I did when I was 17. I went on to have a beautiful wife and three children. My two oldest are already college graduates and my youngest will be graduating in two years. I am a King of Comedy and I have had the pleasure of working with some of the best talents in the world. I have had several of my own televisions shows, radio shows, and in August I will release my first book.
 
I cannot help but wonder how people would have remembered me had my life been cut short at 17. I feel a profound sense of loss when I think of you, Trayvon.

Student loan debt
a growing threat to the economy
 
$870 billion in outstanding balances
exceeds credit card, auto obligations

Move over, mortgages. Get out of the way, Greece. Another economic doomsday scenario is emerging.
 
Student loan debt has reached about $870 billion, exceeding credit cards and auto loans, and balances are expected to continue climbing, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York said last month. In February, the National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Attorneys referred to a "student loan 'debt bomb'" and wondered if it was shaping up to become "America's next mortgage-style economic crisis." Such a burden could crimp an already weak economy.
