Edward James Olmos criticized the United States and Puerto Rico on Tuesday for not moving faster to clean up the site of a former bombing range on Vieques Island. The actor, who was born in East Los Angeles, was among the celebrities who were arrested for trespassing to thwart U.S. navy bombing exercises on Vieques. "I believe it is wrong to practice near where people live, period," he said in a press conference in 2001. He trespassed onto the firing range in a fishing boat along with environmental lawyer Robert F. Kennedy and New York labour leader Dennis Rivera. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Navy-Vie...

Vieques dont mean shit to the regular working Puerto Rican in the main island if its in dissarry itself! Go stand in the middle of the street of the "Perla and the Casserios" and protest, then i will be convinced you care!
Gracias Edward James Olmos por tu gran gesto de solidaridad con el pueblo de Puerto Rico. Y gracias por este video. Eres uno de esos latinos con el corazon lo suficientemente grande como para que en el quepamos todos los benditos hijos de la cultura latina independietemente de nuestro origen naciona. Dios te bendiga.
I am a documentalist.I taped over 2,000 hrs. of what happened in vieques the las 10 yrs, I can speak the truth. The Navy was making over 80 millions a year,renting vieques to other countries.Vieques got 0. Just bombs, contamination,deseases,and death. Any one who speak in favor of what the navy did here, are CONSPIRING with the abuses to the woman and children and old people that die as result of contamination in their bodies. It is not any different than any other CRIME or CRIMINAL! SIMPLE!
