Claiming that it was self-defense even though Trayvon was unarmed, Zimmerman shot him as he said he looked suspicious. Since that day, friends, family, and even the people that he didn’t even know marched toward the police stations and court houses demanding the justice for Trayvon and the arrest for Zimmerman. Many of them were holding up signs saying “Justice for Trayvon!” They weren’t leaving until he had justice. Most of them were wearing hoodies and brought skittles and ice teas in honor of him at the time. It was quite overwhelming to see and read about the entire community coming for someone’s brother, son, nephew and even grandson.
The businessmen and government felt fear for this revolution, head of the local business requirements to increase the number of the police and the army. At the same time, he Commercial Club of Chicago bought $2000 of guns used to guard against the strike. On May 1st, the strike got Chicago textile, shoes, home decoration workers’ support, the police began to fire on the crowd, and two workers were killed on May 3rd.

Rachel Kay How accurate is it to say Frederick William IV was responsible for the failure of the Frankfurt Parliament? The Frankfurt Parliament was established to create freedom of press, German citizenship for all, fair taxation, equality of political rights and to create a unified Germany. However, countries like Austria greatly opposed it. Frederick William IV could be seen as responsible for the failure of the Frankfurt Parliament because he refused to accept any form of leadership and made it clear he distrusted the ‘gentlemen of Frankfurt’. However, many other factors played a role in the demise of the Parliament such as the fact that they were ill-organised, the lack of popular support and their inability to enforce decisions.
It is also said that Capone’s men monitored their targets from rented apartments across the street from a trucking warehouse that served as Bugs Moren’s headquarters. On the morning of February 14, 1929, Capone’s men who were on look out signaled men who were dressed as police officers to start a raid. The disguised gunmen lined seven men along a wall without any struggle, they then signaled for their other accomplices with machine guns. The men were then shot down with machine guns and shotguns, they each had twenty or more bullets in them. This massacre was thought to be Capone’s effort to strike back at Bugs Moren’s North Side Gang, who had been hijacking his booze trucks., assassinated two presidents of Union Sicilian that the Outfit controlled, and their three attempts to kill one of Capone’s two
They made it clear that night that they were intent on putting an end to the protesting as soon as possible. That night there was another rally at 8:00 pm the guards were called in by 845 and tear gassed the rally and tried to send all students back to their dorms. There were a few injuries but nothing near as serious as what was to come the next
When the fire company broke into the marshal’s office where the draft was being held the smashed the selection wheel and set fire to the building which is ironic because they put out fires. A deputy begged for the company to put out the fire but they refused and he was beaten and the draft was officially on hold. Workers from railroads, artisans, industrial workers, machine shops, laborers, and other employees didn’t show up for work that day as they were marching up 8th and 9th Ave and they gathered more people as they continued (Weil 147). The mob met in Central Park to discuss the situation and split up into two columns and went on their way (Bernstein 18). Some people started to bring down telephone poles and lines and this began this terrible insurrection that was to
With it being about 4:37, Knowing that I have to be at work in the morning I start to gather up my crew that road to the club in my car and tell them that it’s time to go. After making my last round around the club we make our way to the door. Not knowing that the altercation that took place inside the club was now getting worse outside. As I get closer to the door we notice that there is not just security but there are at least 20 police officers. Still pushing and trying to make our way out of the club a police officer says “there’s no one leaving the club until the situation is taking care of.” A guy that was behind me yells, “What situation,” the officer replies “4 people have been shot and 2 were dead.” So back in the club we went for another 2 in half hours.
The workers called the new mill "Fort Frick." Frick’s new ironfisted policies were the last straw for disgruntled workers. After many months of unhappiness with management, workers were in no disposition to deal with Frick. He decided to allocate pay cuts to the workers individually --“Individually” being the key term here, as the workers demanded to remain as a solid union and refused to negotiate wages individually with Frick. On June 28, 1892 Frick, in an attempt to break the union, forced a “Lock-out”.
the “bad guys” (Germany and their allies). This has officially removed every obstacle in front of President Wilson’s way to join the war because as he had said before, he did not want to be sided with a tyrant, Russia. All he has to do is say the words and in a second we would be in the War, helping not only our own country, but our long good friends Britain as well. It is not difficult to realize that we don’t have the best army and navy, and that we mobilize slowly, but this is yet another reason for why we should start right here, right now. If we are successful to mobilizing quickly and having a military draft, our army would be almost unstoppable to other nations.
He couldn’t find him but he seen us and started walking towards us. A cop was around and started yelling “leave, keep walking.” My friend started yelling back and swearing but still continue to walk away.
