Bambu, read about Kelly Thomas, he was a homeless mentally ill White man who the police beat to death right at the train station in front of a huge crowd, there are many videos cause people had their phones out filming it, plus they had security cameras all over, the cops beat Kelly Thomas to death and no charges were filed, the cops all walked away free. That is not justice, justice was not done in the case of Kelly Thomas. The cops beat White people to death, and it is an issue of retraining our police, and holding them accountable. The cops are just violent assholes who need to be trained better. I am sure there are good cops, and if there are, then they need to agree that the cops should have went to prison for beating Kelly Thomas to death.

Salute,

Tony V.

Injustice for one is injustice for all.

Keep marching.

Marlon Brando, and Paul Newman, and all of those guys marched with Martin Luther King Jr.

And God gave us the ARTS to march with.

One idea is to bring the issue to the television show "Walker Texas Ranger" and write a case like what happened with Kelly Thomas into the show, and Walker can choose to be a good cop and support justice, he can struggle with knowing the bad cops committed murder and should be punished, while at the same time there is the Gang of Blue and their internal Code. They need to have a White cowboy like Kelly Thomas so the show does not become about racism, they can have a homeless mentally ill White victim of police abuse to inspire discussion.

And I need to get my poetry book published and my movie made, I have lots of good stuff in my material, then everything will open up for more stuff in the future.

Anyhow, they can bring important issues to television shows to inspire discussion in homes. I would like to find a good wife to produce with, and to write with, and maybe buy Universal, that would be great, and we could change the world.

Salute,

Tony V.

When I worked at Universal Studios then we had our own Police Department, they all worked for us, we did not have the LAPD nor the Sheriff's Department, we had our own Police Department and the cops worked for us. Once you experience what it is like to have your own Police Department, then it is hard to go back to having the asshole cops who just want to beat people up and bust people, and who just want to be dicks, and they are greedy, we need to raise the pay for teachers and lower the pay for cops. And we need for all cops to at least have a Bachelor's Degree. It was cool at Universal where the police knew who paid their pay-checks, the artists at Universal were paying their pay-checks and they knew that, and they respected us, the cops were there to protect and serve us. Once you have your own police department then it is hard to go back to being abused, everyone should experience what it is like to have a police department that is there to protect and serve them.

Salute,

Tony V.

By the way, I guess my Great Grandfather was the Chief of Police of Denver, Colorado, they came to California during the Great Depression. My Grandmother said that they used to have the Governor of Colorado over for dinner when she was a child in Denver before the Great Depression. They had hard lives, they had the Great Depression, and then Pearl Harbor and World War II, plus other problems, they had hard lives. My Grandmother was a good woman who would have been wealthy if not for the Great Depression and World War II, and other problems.

Salute,

Tony V.

President Biden statement at the beginning of Memorial Day Weekend.

George Floyd should be alive. He deserved so much more, I join all those who loved him and all those touched by the civil rights movement he inspired in remembering the tragedy and injustice of his death. He changed the world. Now, let us act in his memory.

No mention of his long crimInal record, 8 jail terms, including armed home invasion?

See they're still letting Joe make unscripted speeches.
Many found amusing his speech in which he recalled being Vice President during the pandemic.


That justifies his murder?

Of course not.
Some people, far from saints in life...are elevated to sainthood in death.


More like martyrdom.
I do not think you know the meaning of Martyrdom.

I do not think you know your father

I'd like to have my own police dept, with a discreet armed team protecting me 24/7/365...including a US President style vehicle and driver on call.
That is fantasy of course, but I sure would like it.
Oh to be a rich man, life would be so much easier.
An easy and comfortable life is the best kind.

Every police officer would have to have at least have a Bachelor's degree?
Degree in what exactly?

No high school or college degree necessary, but able to pass the police entrance exam and then graduate from the Police Academy, would be my idea. Attendance at the Police Academy fully paid for by the city.

At last...
...Florida arrests and deports Hamas supporting foreign students in the US on visas.
Using facial recognition technology.
Aha, the same technology used to face scan mrs bambu when she entered America several years ago.
It's a great idea/system, fingerprint and face scan everyone when they enter America. Makes it much easier to kick them out if they become undesirables.

A BA in Liberal Arts should be mandatory for anyone dealing with people.

AP

"Sirens sound in Tel Aviv for first time in months.
Hamas says it fired rockets from Gaza."

#####

Obviously Gaza is not yet cleared of Hamas terrorists and their weapons.
What do I say now..."keep on bombing, keep on searching on the ground for the terrorists, their weapons, and to free the hostages"?

An easy and comfortable life is the best kind.

I have never been rich, but I have had some great experiences, I worked at Universal Studios for 1 year and we had our own Police Department, it was great, I just wish I could have made enough money to buy a home, buy a car, and raise a family, then I would have kept the job, but it was minimum wage, so I had to quit. But, I was able to see what it was like at Universal Studios and I was able to watch Ron Howard when he filmed "Apollo 13," and I escorted Phyllis Diller at Bob Hope's Birthday Party, etc.

And I lived in Malibu with the rich people for 1 year, over-looking the ocean, with the daughter of a Chinese General as one of my roommates.

The only President I saw in my life was Ronald Reagan, my hometown built the Space Shuttles, I had a step-dad for a few years who was the boss of the Shuttle Program, and Reagan came out to the desert to Edwards to give a speech when the first Shuttle landed. Reagan was awesome, I loved Reagan.

When I worked at Universal my fellow employees kept telling me to buy the studio someday. At that time it was owned by the Japanese, and the people wanted for me to buy it.

My friend who is rock star thinks I can succeed here in Hollywood, he thinks that I am just holding my own self back. He thinks that I could be making movies and television shows right now if I would get it together. He was in the Red Hot Chili Peppers, and he has faith in me. He enrolled me in Leadership Training in Marina Del Rey, and he has been trying to help me to achieve my full potential.

And my Grandmother thought I was going to be rich. When I was a child we worked hard, she was a dog groomer and we used to work 12 hours per day grooming dogs, but then on days off she would take me to Los Angeles and we would eat on Olvera Street, and we drove all around Beverly Hills looking at the homes where the stars lived, and she told me that someday I could live in Beverly Hills too. She told me I was going to be rich. She taught me to dream big.

The students at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts all had faith in me too, they were very supportive, and I am still friends with my favorite acting teacher. They wanted for me to rise to the top and be the boss. Cecil B. DeMille attended the AADA, and lots of other greats, it is like Harvard, only for actors. The AADA is closing here in Hollywood, which is sad, now the actors will have to go to the AADA in New York to train. If I succeed then I will hire the students from the AADA, and from Harvard, and from USC film school, and from Chapman film school, etc, and from NYU, and Julliard, and the Actor's Studio, etc.

When I was at Universal the Boss was Lew Wasserman, he was the most powerful man in Hollywood at that time, and he ate at my table in the cafeteria, he was a cool guy. And we had Spielberg, and Ron Howard, we had great people. We just need for the workers to be paid better, and for Universal to be altruistic and to help Hollywood.

And yes, the cops need a Bachelor's Degree, and they can study Communication, and Psychology, and Sociology, and Ethics, etc, they can learn healthy conflict resolution skills, etc.

My friend thinks I can be living the life of my dreams right now, he thinks I am holding myself back. I do not know, but I do know I need a good wife to help me. I need a good, smart, talented wife. We can be like Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz, and like Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks. My friend told me to write it all down and pray on it. I would love to find a wife who wants to own Universal Studios someday, and help the people of Hollywood, etc.

Salute,

Tony V.

A Soap Opera Star was murdered in Los Angeles, Johnny Wactor, he was trying to stop criminals from stealing his catalytic converter when they shot him. The lesson to be learned is that if you are a successful actor then you need to spend the money to live in a nice gated community with security. Empire West has 24 hour security and door men, the whole building is full of stars because they need a nice safe home, and many stars have stalkers, etc. And Latigo Beach in Malibu has 24 hour security, and Paradise Cove has 24 hour security, etc. When you become a star then you need to live in a safe home, you need to consider your safety and security.

Even where I live now as a poor man, I live in a nice gated community in Anaheim with cameras all over, I am lucky and I live in a safe pad, God blessed me when he brought me to Anaheim. And when I leave here hopefully I will move up to someplace nice like a gated community in Malibu, or to Empire West in West Hollywood, etc.

Spielberg lives in Santa Monica and he has Body Guards.

And with the high crime, Los Angeles needs to have security guards all over, and all of the 7-Elevens need security, etc.

My Grandmother carried a pearl handled .32 semi automatic pistol in her purse, and that is how a lot of women do, Grandma protected all of us, we were all safe because Grandma had a gun in her purse. For the poor single women, they need guns and dogs and cameras, and alarms, etc. And there needs to be security for the student housing, etc.

Of note, the businesses can turn dogs loose to protect their property at night, like the junk yards do, a couple of big dogs will protect your property.

Anyhow, if I get rich, I am moving back to Malibu, or to Empire West, etc, I am not going to stay in the poor area, that is the lesson the stars need to learn, when you succeed then you need to go live where the successful people live. It is sad when stars get murdered in bad neighborhoods where they never had to be, they could have been living in Empire West, etc, or in Malibu, etc. Where I am right now is safe, it is a gated community with cameras, but I will go live with the people from the Entertainment Industry when I can afford it.

Rest in peace to Johnny Wactor.

Salute,

Tony V.
