    Connecticut V. Cardwell Case Study

    4)The case we read in class that I enjoyed the most was State of Connecticut v. Cardwell. I primarily liked it because it best exemplifies the difference and complexity regarding the sale of goods and the helps reflect the distinction between a “shipment” and “destination” contracts. I disagree with the trial courts judgment that Cardwell sold tickets within Connecticut and thereby violated Connecticut statute. However, I agree with the judgment of the court after the appeal. The transfer of goods occurred in Massachuestes, therefore the sale of the tickets, as defined by the code, occurred in Massachusts.…

    David Hilliard Black Panther Speech Analysis

    Genocidal murderers of the Red Man; users of the atomic bomb upon the Japanese people. The enslavers and exploiters of Blacks in this country right up until this very day." Although tortured and gagged may seem a bit extreme to a member of the audience, the words have served their purpose to express the speaker's hateful view on the prosecutors of Bobby Seale's trial. Hilliard takes it a step further by saying "Blacks did not have their rights guaranteed by the constitution to bear arms in defense of their lives against racist mobs of fascists in or out of uniform." The word Fascists would immediately wake up the audience to this new level of accusations simply because it's not a word you would hear to describe our government. He continues his accusations further with "We must remember this country is run by a slave oligarchy and brigandish criminals who have no respect for its people, be they Black or White; its primary interest is capitalism." Also in this paragraph, Hilliard uses a quotation from Eldridge who says, "that the American flag and the American eagle are the true symbols of fascism". His constant use of the word slave and oppressive makes the audience fit the mindset of someone who is angry; angry at 400 years of oppression, angry at the mistreatment and views of those who are in power, angry namely at white people in…

    Jena 6

    On September 2006 in Jena, Louisiana a black student asked for permission from a school teacher to sit under the shade of a tree but only white students sat under that tree I was called the white tree. School officials told the black students that they could sit wherever they wanted to sit and they did. The next day three nooses, in the school colors, were seen hanging from the white tree. The school principal found out that three white students were responsible for hanging the three nooses. The principal recommended that the three white students be expelled but the white superintendent over ruled the principal and gave the three students a three day suspension. The superintendent did not expel the students because he believed that the nooses were only a youthful stunt. When black students found out about the nooses they decided to organize a sit in under the tree to protest the lenient treatment given to the noose hanging white students. Racial tensions remained elevated throughout the fall but on Monday, December 4, 2006, a white student who allegedly had been racially taunting black students in support of the students who hung the nooses got into a fight with the black students. Allegedly the white student was taken to the hospital for treatment for being beat but he was later released and attended a social function later that day. As a result of the incident six black students were arrested and charged with attempted second degree murder. All six of the black students were expelled from school and were charged with 140,000 dollars or less bail. On the morning of the trial the District Attorney reduced the charged with attempted second degree murder to second degree aggravated battery and conspiracy. The prosecutor was allowed to argue with the jury that the tennis shoes worn by Bell could be considered a dangerous weapon. When the pool of potential jurors was summoned fifty white people appeared. The jury…

    Ku Klux Klan History

    Although there were two more known groups, it is impossible to untangle local vigilante violence from political terrorism by the organized Klan (Georgia1). Around 1915, Nativist organized a revival of the Klan (History1). This group was anti-black, and they also took a part in terrorizing Jews, Roman Catholics, organized labor, and foreigners (Spartacus1). The group was fueled by immigration in America during the early 20th century (History1). Klan members also feared the communist revolution in Russia. This group’s symbol was a burning cross, and they would hold rallies, and march/parade all around the country (History1). The peak of this group was in 1920, and exceeded over four million Klan members nationwide (History1). In the 1930’s, the Great Depression depleted the organization, and was disbanded temporarily in 1944 (Georgia1). During 1960, the Civil Rights movement increased bombings, beatings, and shootings across the South, done by Klan members (History1). This movement fueled the hatred Klan members felt towards their victims. President Lyndon Johnson delivered a speech in 1965 publicly condemning the Klan (History1). He also announced that four Klansmen were arrested in connection with the murder of a white female civil rights worker, who lived in Alabama (History1). Klan related violence became more isolated as time passed (History1). In the 1990’s it was estimated that the Klan had between 6,000-10,000 active members (History1). Most of these members were in the Deep South (History1). Some fragmented members and groups became aligned with neo-Nazi and other extremist organizations from the 1970s and the years following that (History1). Discrimination was the subject that all these groups had in common with each…

    Hate Crimes in America

    The fact that Congress recognizes crimes motivated by bias as more serious than the crime committed alone is not in question. “Congress has passed the Hate Crimes Sentencing Enhancement Act, which increases penalties for some federal crimes when they are motivated by bias.” The debate is whether or not these laws should be applied to the widespread appearance of nooses since 2007, when the treatment of the “Jena 6” received nationwide press coverage. Nooses were hung in a tree at Jena High School in Jena, Louisiana, which caused racial tensions to escalate over the months following August 2006, after the principle was overruled when he recommended expelling the students found responsible for the outrage. A black student was attacked in November by a mob of white students, of which one member of the group was charged with battery and released on probation. In turn, a white student was attacked after taunting the victim of the previous beating. But the black students did not get off so easy. They…
