Among the 893 people who were arrested during the Rochester riots of 1964, according to the city’s statistics, the vast majority were either unemployed or unskilled workers.

Those 804 people gave a sense of the Rochester that was below the radar screen of community leaders when the riots broke out.

“It was a great shock to people who were very confident in the benevolent nature of the community. Clearly, generous benevolence was not sufficient to deal with the problems,” said Chris Lindley, who was then teaching history at the University of Rochester and later served as deputy mayor.   Continue reading “1964 Rochester riots spawned FIGHT, other community efforts”

Hong Kong’s consumer watchdog has found 38 out of 60 shampoo samples it tested contained a harmful solvent used in manufacturing, with seven exceeding the limit recommended by the European Union.

The Consumer Council also found 20 per cent of the shampoos contained allergy-causing preservatives, and one even tested positive for a heavy metal.

But the agency insisted none of the samples constituted an “immediate” health risk, and only urged those with sensitive skin to be extra cautious when making their choices.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Trump administration has rejected a coal industry push to win a rarely used emergency order protecting coal-fired power plants, a decision contrary to what one coal executive said the president personally promised him.

The Energy Department says it considered issuing the order sought by companies seeking relief for plants it says are overburdened by environmental regulations and market stresses. But the department ultimately ruled it was unnecessary, and the White House agreed, a spokeswoman said.   Continue reading “Coal CEO expected Trump help, but administration said no”

During the Fox News Channel’s coverage of President Trump’s Afghanistan speech, Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) praised President Trump’s Afghanistan policy announcement and warned members of Congress that the next 9/11 will be their fault if they vote the policy down.

Graham predicted that Trump’s proposal will receive a lot of bipartisan support in Congress. He continued, “I’m proud. I’m relieved. I’m proud of the fact that President Trump made a national security decision, not a political decision. … I’m relieved he did not take the advice to withdraw, which would have been disastrous or create a mercenary army.”   Continue reading “Lindsey Graham: ‘I Am Very Pleased’ With Afghanistan Plan – If Congress Votes It Down, They’ll Own the Next 9/11”

The sad and sorry story surrounding the case of a 2012 high school rape in Steubenville, Ohio, continued Monday when the father of one of the football players convicted in that crime, ambushed and shot a local judge, before being killed. The son of that judge is a former local prosecutor who reportedly worked on the early stages of the rape case.

Nathaniel Richmond was pronounced dead after being shot, according to Jefferson County district attorney Jane Hanlin. The shooting took place outside the Jefferson County Courthouse in downtown Steubenville, an old coal town on the Ohio River along the eastern edge of the state. Richmond opened fire on Common Pleas Judge Joseph Bruzzese as the judge arrived for work early Monday morning.   Continue reading “Ambush, shooting of judge linked to football rape case”

Zero Hedge – by Tyler Durden

In a widely anticipated national address, President Donald Trump on Monday announced that he will not pull out U.S. troops from Afghanistan, saying he’s committed to a new strategy aimed at winning the nation’s longest war, now in its 17th year. Admitting that his “original instinct was to pull out” of Afghanistan – Trump’s core campaign pledge was to reduce US intervention in offshore conflicts – Trump effectively admitted he had been wrong, and said he’s arrived at three “fundamental conclusions” about America’s core interests in Afghanistan:   Continue reading “Trump Unveils New, Dramatic Afghanistan Strategy: “We Aren’t Nation-Building Again, We Are Killing Terrorists””
