Rally against Wall St. Fat Cats banksters trashed economy April 29

To concerned citizens, The banksters and Wall Street fat cats trashed our economy. Now they're spending millions to lobby against commonsense reforms and consumer protections. It's time to show these corporate greedmongers that the people have had enough. This Thursday, let's take our outrage to the streets! Stand up to Wall Street! WHAT: March and rally for an economy that works for all of us, not just Wall Street. WHEN: April 29. Assemble at 3:30 p.m., march and rally begin at 4 p.m. WHERE: Downtown New York City, next to City Hall Park (Enter at Broadway and Chambers St.). Sign up on our Web site to let us know if you can join the protest! They took billions in taxpayer bailout money. They paid themselves multimillion-dollar bonuses and salaries for profits reaped from the predatory and speculative behavior that led to the crisis. And, shamelessly, they're now spending millions on lobbyists in Washington, D.C., to try to kill regulations that would help prevent another crisis. Enough is enough! Sign up and join the protest! If you can't make it, you can still take action. Thank you for all you do. Rick, Angela and Glenn Public Citizen's Online Action Team

You never know what people what treasures might be hidden away in someone's basement and in Staten Island  one such example is a historic motorcycle...perhaps among the first....

I wrote a story about motorcycles..."Chopping the Street".  It is really about white collar crime being above the law and costing the tax payers billions whether detected or not, whether successfully prosecuted or not and I do get in to the history of motorcycles as well as the history of Wall Street...both a like the wild, wild west.....

Chelsea Hotel Rapist NY Post

http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/chelsea_hotel_rapist_xKcbaT8bFvoqt2zKGuQzxO

This woman deserves a medal for fighting off this creepy bartender, an employee that clearly ear marked her for rape and somehow got the key card to enter her room.  Makes you long for an old fashioned dead bolt.   She valiantly fought him off.   Do you think crazy man will somehow blame the female victim?
His defense maybe she stalked him or she tried to rape him.  You never know but blaming the victim tends to be the way to go.  For now his defense attorney has no comment.

Goldman Sachs Top Dogs Grilled by Suzannah B. Troy

We witnessed Wall Street imploding, "the bail out" which left so many individuals and small businesses wondering why they couldn't get bailed out or why St. Vincent's Hospital was not bailed out but today the top dogs of Goldman Sachs got grilled!

Goldman Sachs was so concerned about their big bonuses drawing even more public outrage that Lloyd Blankfien, GS's CEO and Chairman took a much smaller bonus which was still hefty in "real people terms".

But today Goldman Sach's top dogs got grilled....medium to well done!

Llyod Blankfien: "I heard nothing today that makes me think we did anything wrong."

He did say we will be doing some soul searching....

Laura Garza's body found after 2 years posting by Suzannah B. Troy

1010 Wins reported that Laura Garza's body was finally found approximately 2 years after she was last seen on video tape exiting a Chelsea Club with prime suspect Michael Melee.

This photo of Laura Garza and article below are from 1010 Wins.

She is one of a series of women that went out for a drink and some fun and never returned home. Remember Jennifer Moore, she was under age and also partying at a club in Chelsea and Imette St. Guillen who was abducted from a bar in Soho. Here is one post in a series I wrote on Laura Garza. This post praises The New York Daily News in December of 2009 for reminding readers she was still missing and keeping the memory alive of this beautiful 24 year old woman with the million dollar smile.

NEW YORK (1010 WINS/AP) -- A body found in Pennsylvania is that of a Brooklyn woman who disappeared after leaving a Chelsea nightclub in 2008, according to police.

Middletown police said Monday that a DNA analysis has confirmed the identity of Laura Garza. They said her body was found on April 11 in Mount Cobb, Pa., several miles outside Scranton.

Garza, 25, was last seen leaving club Marquee with registered sex offender Michael Mele, and was with Mele in Newburgh, NY during the early morning hours of Dec. 3 and was never seen again.

Mele, 24, was the focus of the investigation into Garza's disappearance but was never charged. In the weeks after Garza vanished, police searched Mele's home and car looking for evidence.

Mele, who is a registered Level 1 sex offender and has repeatedly been investigated for alleged sex crimes in the past, is currently serving time in prison for failing to report a change of address.

He is considered a suspect in the disappearance of Garza, and at the time she was reported missing, was driving a 2005 Silver Infiniti SUV.

Anyone who may have seen or had contact with Mele in or around Scranton, PA is asked to contact New York State Police at 845 344-5300 or Pennsylvania State Police at 570 963-3156.
