Abusive history claimed
Green also cursed at Young and threatened to kill him, McKamie said.
The lawsuit claims that Green has "a history of citizen abuse."
Green also has been sued by a man he shot and wounded during a traffic stop in southeast Houston.An HPD news release at the time said Green had stopped a vehicle for a traffic violation in the 5200 block of Pederson at 11:05 p.m. Feb. 24, 2010. The officer approached the vehicle and asked the driver, Steven Sevan Guidry, several times to get out, police said.
Guidry refused, police said, and as Green tried to take him into custody, the two men struggled."During the struggle, the suspect reached into his waistband as if to get a weapon," the HPD news release stated. "Fearing for his safety, Officer Green discharged his duty weapon at least once and struck the suspect."
No weapon was ever found on Guidry, who says Green never gave him any instructions before the officer pulled him out by his jacket, threw him to the ground and shot him in the back of his neck.
Hackers launched another online attack Wednesday against a California transit agency that found itself in the middle of a debate about free speech after it turned off cellphone service in its stations last week to thwart a potential protest.

Now is the time for China to use its "financial weapon" to teach the United States a lesson if it moves forward with a plan to sale arms to Taiwan. In fact, China has never wanted to use its holdings of US debt as a weapon. It is the United States that is forcing it to do so.
Thanks to the trillions of dollars that the Chinese have made flooding our shores with cheap products, China is now in a position of tremendous economic power. So what is China going to do with all of that money? One thing that they have decided to do is to buy up pieces of the United States and set up “special economic zones” inside our country from which they can continue to extend their economic domination. One of these “special economic zones” would be just south of Boise, Idaho and the Idaho government is eager to give it to them. China National Machinery Industry Corporation (Sinomach for short) plans to construct a “technology zone” south of Boise Airport which would ultimately be up to 50 square miles in size. The Chinese Communist Party is the majority owner of Sinomach, so the 10,000 to 30,000 acre “self-sustaining city” that is being planned would essentially belong to the Chinese government. The planned “self-sustaining city” in Idaho would include manufacturing facilities, warehouses, retail centers and large numbers of homes for Chinese workers. Basically it would be a slice of communist China dropped right into the middle of the United States.

With around 25 employees, John King owns one of the largest non-union electrical contracting businesses in the Toledo, Ohio area.
As a non-union contractor, his business happens to be doing well at a time when unions in the construction industry are suffering. This, it seems, has made the usual animosity unions have for him even greater, making him a prime target of union thugs. So much so, that one of them tried to kill him last week at his home.
