Published November 7, 2012 by Sussex County Angel

Colorado becomes the first state to legalize the recreational use of marijuana

Published November 7, 2012 by Sussex County Angel

Many people stayed up late Tuesday night anxiously watching the election results. For most, they were watching to see who would be the next president, would it remain President Obama or would Gov. Romney be the next president. Those voters in Colo., however, were watching another close race. Amendment 64, voted for on Tuesday, made Colo. the first state to legalize marijuana for recreational use.

Hurricane Sandy – the next day – aftermath pictures from the flooding in Lewes, Rehoboth, and Dewey

Published October 31, 2012 by Sussex County Angel

Photo: This image of a man saving his cats is NOT from Hurricane Sandy. It is a reminder, however, that material possessions are just that, material possessions. I know it seems rough for some of you right now. It's depressing and downright frightening. A lot of people who live is the areas that were hit the hardest by Hurricane Sandy did not have flood insurance.  How do you pick up your life and start over? Where do you even begin? Most of us just lost possessions, despite their value, they are just things. I'm sure that plenty of it was irreplaceable. Unfortunately, you cannot change the past.  This image moves me for a few reasons.  Look at the man in the background. His arms are filled with clothes, just stuff. The man in the front is working hard to save his two cats. Cats hate to be carried, and most of them are terrified of water. I can't imagine how hard it was to carry both of them to safety.  When faced with a natural disaster, belongings are just stuff. You can get more stuff. The things that are one of a kind or irreplaceable, unfortunately, you will have to count your losses. Lives can not be replaced. Lives are what matter. Things like Hurricane Sandy really help to put that into perspective.  It's a rough way to do so, it's a hell of a wake-up call, but all the same, no matter how rough it gets, remember that lives cannot be bought.

Luckily for us in Sussex County, Delaware, we weren’t hit as hard as New York and New Jersey. So far, we have no loss of life. There is a lot of property damage, but all of that can be replaced.

We had some guy come up to us as we were taking pictures. He started yelling at us because we were, in fact, taking pictures. His house is flooded. Instead of being upset at Hurricane Sandy, he got mad at us. I get his anger, but it seems to me that he shouldn’t take his anger out on photographers.

Trump’s announcement: ‘Obama, release your college transcripts for 5 million’

Published October 25, 2012 by Sussex County Angel

On Wednesday, Donald Trump’s “big announcement” had media around the globe speculating. Many news sources believed that Trump was planning on releasing proof that President Obama and his wife Michelle hadonce planned on getting a divorce. Articles circled the internet about how the couple had been on the verge of a divorce just before Obama began his presidential bid. Most of the speculating began with a single tweet. “High above the Alps my Gnome has heard that Donald Trump will announce that he has unearthed divorce papers between the Prez and his wife,” Douglas Kass tweeted Tuesday. It seems that Kass may have tweeted too soon. Donald Trump is not releasing Obama’s divorce papers. Instead, Trump announced Wednesday that if President Obama makes his college applications and transcripts public, Trump will donate $5 million to a charity of President Obama’s choice.

Steven Ettinger was arrested at the Asbury Boardwalk Civil Disobedience Swimsuit Party

Published July 17, 2012 by Sussex County Angel

So on Saturday I headed up to the Asbury Park Civil Disobedience Swimsuit Party, which ended up being a celebration as the 1958 ordinance was repealed a few days prior to the event.  It seems that the City Council may not have wanted the press that comes with a scantily clad protest.

The ordinance said: “No person clad in bathing attire shall be on the boardwalk or the public walks adjacent thereto.”

Since that changed, most of us expected no one would be arrested.  It seemed we were wrong.

Dave Cahill was an awesome performer.  I spoke along with Eddie Free, Danny Panzella, Garrett Fox, Chris Cantwell, and Adam Kokesh.  During Adam’s speech, he asked Steve Ettinger to show everyone his “Borat style thong”.

After Steve showed his thong, he was arrested for indecent exposure.

You can watch the ustream of the entire event here.

Here’s a video of just the arrest.

“Borat” Arrested for Swimsuit Malfunction in Asbury Park NJ

After the arrest, the people gathering were told that they were no longer allowed to use amplified sound or sing, so Dave Cahill started singing and playing his guitar to call their bluff – that was pretty awesome to watch, especially after he put on his alien mask.

Steven Ettinger has a hearing to decided whether charges will be pressed. The hearing is July 27th, 2012, at 10 am at the Asbury Park Court.  Steve has created a chipin asking for donations as he has a 9 hour trip (round trip) to get to the court.  He may need even more if he is charged as he may be looking at a $1,000 fine.

FIND THE CHIPIN HERE!

For those who couldn’t attend the event, instead of buying Steve a drink, donate a round to his chipin! I am!

Hear my account of the event!

 

Man in Cleveland ticketed for dropping money on the ground

Published May 24, 2012 by Sussex County Angel

Sometimes, in an effort to make a person’s life better, people will give away money, food, or property.  In many cases, this is through a non-profit organization but not always.  There are many out there in need every day.  In every major city in the country one may find people living on the street, most asking (through a sign) for the assistance of those passing.

The homeless in many areas rely upon the kindness of strangers.  Some are physically challenged and in wheelchairs or on crutches.  Some are traumatized war veterans who witnessed atrocities and were never able to forget them.  Some are just down on their luck.

When you hand money or food over to a person asking for assistance on the street, there are no executives paid.  No limousines or planes are rented to take company executives to events or openings.  No lobbyists have been hired and greased the palms of politicians.  No staffers or interns are hired to create spread sheets about the most effective way to use your donation.  The government does not get any say in the distribution of the money.  It’s just you and the person you decided should have some of your money or food.

This may be part of why John Davis, of Cleveland, Ohio, has now been ticketed.

John saw a man on the street while he was driving in Cleveland Fox 8 reported Tuesday.  The man was pale, in a wheelchair, and had a sign asking for help.  John has a brother who is paralyzed and tries to help the physically challenged when he is able.

John reached into his wallet and grabbed a couple of bucks to give to the man. As he approached the light at the exit, he rolled the money up vertically and stretched his arm out of his window. He says, the man touched the cash and one of the dollars fell to the ground.

The man then bent over and picked it up.

A few moments later, John is pulled over by a Cleveland police officer and ticketed for littering.  The ticket cited Cleveland’s Municipal Code, Section No: 613.06, littering from a motor vehicle.  His offense was written as “Throw paper out window” with “money to panhandler” in parenthesis.

John said he was confused because money is paper but it’s not trash.

Instead of discussing the economic implications of a city officer considering the country’s paper fiat currency trash, and ticketing someone for dropping it, we will finish John’s tale.

Section No: 471.06 states in part that “No person shall stand on a highway for the purpose of soliciting…contributions…”

It also reads that “No driver” is to “transfer currency….to any person standing on a street or highway.”

But John says that’s not what he was ticketed for. He was cited for littering from a motor vehicle, and the officer advised him to “take it up with the courts.”

John does plan to challenge the ticket in court, mainly because it carries a hefty fine. It could cost him $500 once you add the fine plus court costs.

The experience has left him disheartened, and has already destroyed his joy and willingness to give money to those in need.

“I’d like to do it again but I’m petrified I’m going to get a ticket.”

It’s interesting that the city of Cleveland does not want people to donate to those in need unless those in need are able to afford, well, what exactly?  Those on the street cannot afford homes, cars, permits, or any other permission from the city.  Maybe the city wants to make sure they control who is worthy of donations.

Why Facebook lost value and not just because they’re changing ‘Timeline’ again

Published May 23, 2012 by Sussex County Angel

The positive buzz around Facebook’s I.P.O. starting public trading dissipated on Tuesday as Facebook stocks dropped to $31.00.  Despite its massive user base, it seems that Facebook will now have to face the reality that their value is not as high as the company wishes.  A stock selloff almost turned into a run on Monday.  Tuesday was a day ofnumerous announcements that may have affected Facebook’s rapidly dropping stock value as well as many sitesanalyzing why Facebook’s stock has dropped.
