Innocent minority shot to death by Neighborhood Watcher


Trayvon Martin(17) was a regular young adult visiting his father in a gated community until he was shot by the neighborhood watcher George Zimmerman who thought Martin looked suspicious. -msnbc.com

Now there is a lot of controversy because justice wasn't served correct. In fact, this case is believed to be unethical because of the facts and the motive. It urks me when something like this went horribly wrong!

If this was the case where it was okay to shoot on point because you think someone looks suspicious, believe me we would have a lot of chaos. In my opinion, Zimmerman was not charged right and in fact not EVEN CHARGED AT ALL.

My thing is for this to happen, the authorities and the law should of made an example of this. There should of been some type of justice! I mean, is Zimmerman mentally disabled or impaired? Did he know what he was doing at all? This man was sane and he knew what he was doing.

The justice authority in Florida needs to be reevaluated. On such, I think the investigation is still or should be going on because we are only getting bits of news. I want the answers to the following questions:

-What part of the day was it?
-Was it dark or hard to see Martin?
-Was Martin judged because of his appearance and color?
-What did Zimmerman do according to the time of his action?
-What was Zimmerman's history with African Americans, or at all any history of such?
-What was the response?
-What really led to Zimmerman's motive to shoot the little boy?

Come on guys, we can't just let Zimmerman walk free completely. I think he should of taken full responsibility and got some charges. Other then that, people would agree that it would seem fair.

I pray for the family for their lost and I just hope no more incidents like this happen!

Uganda is pissed about the Kony 2012 video

As my prediction for Uganda being angry about this video, I was perfectly right.

There is news that Uganda is basically pissed about this video. -source

I clearly argued in a video I made just last week about the whole Kony 2012 campaign.

Google the facts for yourself. It's just sad that the video directly captures are younger audience and making the situation blown out of proportion.

I state clear facts and enough is said. This is possibly a great example of how misleading something be and how to abuse technology like that.

As for Uganda and the inhabitants, I send my condenses to and respect the country as it is. Always research before you ACT!!

"I said no cheese b*tch!"

So I think I might make a video about this because it irritates me so much about people doing this ish!

You know how you place your food order and you tell the person that is making it how you want it. Okay so, why the heck do I keep getting my order messed up?

I am tired of people putting CHEESE in my food. For example, my breakfast croissant I order from a local bakery from my hometown. I tell them to NOT PUT CHEESE IN IT, and guess what happens? I get a sandwich gushed up with cheese and ish.

The reason why I don't want cheese in my food is because I am lactose and tolerant. Almost the whole Asian population in the world is this way, unless you built up a tolerance or it's just passed down to your family.

And when I eat cheese, it doesn't look pretty...

So like this video if you know what I'm talking about.

And the question for the week is, have you ever ordered something that didn't come out right? What was the result? Did you gag, you have an allergic reaction? What happen.

Kony 2012 Scandal at its Best

As requested, I made this video for you all.


If you haven't watched the viral video for this month, please watch it before you read on.


I say this whole campaign is a scandal for many reasons, mainly because it fails at informing more accurate information about Uganda and the techniques this video has raised awareness to so many people. Not to mention Invisible Children, the organization facilitating the Kony 2012 campaign, does not function as a true nonprofit should. I will talk about how a true nonprofit should operate and how misleading this whole campaign is hence scandal.

As a true nonprofit professional, the first thing that striked me was this article below:

"Some critics have pointed out that, according to Invisible Children Inc.'s 2010 tax records, the group spent just 32% of its funds on direct services in Africa. More money was spent in the U.S., over $3.8 million, on advocacy including "a biannual film tour, cross-platform media campaigns and grassroots awareness events." Another $1.7 million went to employee salaries and benefits." -Krdo.com

A nonprofit should function its budget and funds as 20% Staff/Administration and 80% Direct Services. Not to mention another source and the official website states that the organization has not been audited yet. So we do not know the real transaction and disbursement of the money. Therefore, we are basing all we know on what the organization only informs us.

Now, as for this campaign being misleading, the video only portrays Uganda as being in a "hell-hole," which it's not. In fact, the country is stable right now. It is true that at one point the United States did indeed send over a 100 troops between 2008-11, but only to advise the Uganda military because of the lack technology advancement, etc. The U.S intended to help capture Joseph Kony however no reports have shown they found and captured Kony. According to rumors of Uganda-Americans, some have stated that the whole Kony event happened a long time ago (1980's), and since then they have not believed this video to be true. In fact, they think the video is a joke.

Now to clarify some other arguments about this video, Invisible Children has not made profit from youtube from this video because the video of course shows no advertisements or other marketable placement(way individuals/organization make money from videos).

Though I like the idea of raising awareness about a cause, but is it worth it when the story is not completely true. The world as we know it will always be unknown and misunderstood.
