Where the Sidewalk Ends

On Aug 15,16 2012 two travelers passing through Eugene and a local man got viciously beaten in downtown by a local business man and his employee. These 3 victims tell their story on what happened that night and how the business man and Eugene police have a questionable, quid pro quo relationship.

I'm not sure I care to even know the "other side" when the result was someone unconscious on the ground in a bloody pool. There's never an excuse for that.

I wouldn't call it violence.. More like immaturity. XD People make mistakes and he does well to reflect on this mistakes. I've seen him.

not all vagrants as you call them harass people..don't be so quick to judge till you know them

[53suni]

hmmm, lets see. he served time for other violence...you know him pretty well

Yes, see the two sides. But, then again, there is only one true, one bigger story, that coincides with both stories. To be more understanding, we should never disregard the fact that there is a bigger picture to the reality at our face. Because when we stop to look for the differences in us, it breaks our chance of trying to understand the world at a different angle. How are we to live peacefully when we continue to divide "who" we are with "what" we are?

Hate crime

A crime motivated by racial, sexual, or other prejudice, typically one involving violence

That is my brother in law you're talking about. (Eric.) I know him very well. He is not one to stir up or escalate violence. He is one of the most peaceful people I know, including his brother, my husband. Speaking from experience, this feels like bullying to me.

Anyhow, we all know some business breeds acts of corruption, seeing as my sister was sexually harassed from her own boss.

The Eugene Weekly and John Zerzan's Anarchy Radio program (9/11) reported this video, and both seem to favor Tim Lewis's reporting.

Not that I was there nor know what went down, but If Albee is so innocent he sure is slow on the draw to retract these accusations.
