Felony Charges Against Occupy Houston Protestors—When Will We Realize That The Freedom Of All People Is Connected?
The Occupy protestors arrested by Annise Parker’s police and charged with a felony for engaging in civil disobedience by alleged moderate DA Pat Lykos are a matter of concern for every liberal, progressive, and civil libertarian in Houston and Harris County.
(Above–A scene from the day the arrests in question took place.)
The freedom of all people is connected.
This is the case if the issue is the Houston police beating of Chad Holley, or anti-gay slurs by a member of the Houston school board.
Everybody is connected. The freedom of all people is connected.
When are civil rights groups in Houston and progressive voters in Houston going to realize this most basic fact?
When will all people realize this most basic fact?
Here is the latest report on the felony indictments from the Houston Chronicle.

Welcome To Texas Liberal
Texas Liberal is a blog of politics and political history.
My name is Neil Aquino. Here is my profile.
I can be reached at naa618@att.net.
Additional focuses of the blog are books, art, poetry, personal relationships and, also, sea life and marine mammals.
( The picture above is of the Houston Ship Channel. A narrow channel can lead to a wide sea.)
The signature post of this blog is the Martin Luther King Reading & Reference List. This list is the best of it’s kind on the web.
Another good post is my reciting the words to the Shaker hymn Simple Gifts on Galveston Island, Texas as a ship passes behind.
I live in Houston, Texas and I do sometimes write about political issues in Houston and in Texas.
I also often write about my former hometown of Cincinnati, and about the great beach city of Galveston, Texas.
I define liberalism as a role for government in the economy to help make life more fair, and a broad acceptance of people regardless of who they are.
This is why it says “All People Matter” at the top of the blog.
A blog grows one reader at a time. If you like what you read here, please consider forwarding the link.

Thanks for reading Texas Liberal.

This is bad news. I was actually at the event. That tent scared the crap out of all of us.
Thought we had beat the rap on this one when Judge Campbell through out the charges.
We’ll see how it ends up. The tent was awful and was meant to be awful.
