JaneyVee's JournalI'm SHOCKED by the number of people here in favor of heckling non-elected officials.
Of course you are Constitutionally allowed to just be rude & selfish & blurt out your opinion that no one asked for, but with that mind frame you must also believe it's OK to heckle Sasha & Malia Obama, or your priest during his sermon, or your classmate while they are reading an essay in front of the class, or your teacher, etc etc. They are not mutually exclusive. Do you also talk during movies? Heck, why not just heckle any private citizen you want because what would be great for this Nation is rudeness & toddler-like behavior.
Now, while heckling someone may be extremely ineffective & childish, it IS protected by the Constitution, so IF you MUST heckle, at least heckle those who write laws, write policy, are elected officials, and who receive a taxpayer funded salary. Heckling regular people is both childish & rude. But this is a free country, so if childish & rude is what you're going for then proceed, but don't expect to be put on a pedestal for making a fool of yourself, that behavior is reserved only for the rightwing.
AUDIO of Michelle Obama Taking On Heckler.
Wow, she was giving a great speech about kids and the future generation. She handled it with grace, even giving the protestor a choice to hold the mic.

Officer's Cellphone Pics Show Zimmerman May NOT Have Been Punched the Night he Killed Trayvon
(George Zimmerman nose picture taken by Officer Wagner before EMT cleaned him)
I think it's pretty clear that the only part of Zimmerman's nose that is bleeding is the very tip of his nose. And when you compare the nose picture Officer Wagner took with the picture the Sanford Police Department took about 45 minutes after Zimmerman killed Trayvon Martin, you can see two pinholes on the tip of Zimmerman's nose which is exactly the location of the bleeding Officer Wagner's picture shows. Another interesting feature between the two pictures is that there is no more swelling on the right-side bridge of Zimmerman's nose 45 minutes after Zimmerman killed Trayvon Martin.
Zimmerman told detectives he was "punched in the nose and face about 25 to 30 times." If that really happened, wouldn't Trayvon's fist be covered with Zimmerman's blood and wouldn't that blood on Trayvon's fist transfer to Zimmerman's face at every punch? But look at that picture Officer Wagner took before EMS cleaned him up, there is no transfer of blood from Trayvon's fist to Zimmermans face, anywhere! There is only blood on the tip of his nose and the width of the blood on his lips are the same width as the blood coming from the tip of his nose.
The Autopsy report of Trayvon Martin did not mention any blood or dirt on Martin's fists. The Autopsy also states that none of Zimmerman's DNA is under Martin's nails which dispels Zimmerman's claim that Trayvon Martin grabbed his bald head with such a tight grip that he slammed Zimmerman's head onto the sidewalk over a dozen times.

Turkish Police Land A Direct Hit On Protestors Face
This must feel like a million razor blades. Terrible.
Turkey must halt brutal police repression and investigate abuses at Istanbul protest
The Turkish authorities must order police to stop using excessive force against peaceful protesters in Istanbul and immediately investigate alleged abuses, said Amnesty International after more than a hundred people were injured during an ongoing peaceful demonstration in a city centre park.
On 30 and 31 May, police officers used water cannon and tear gas to disperse a peaceful protest against the destruction of Gezi Park in central Istanbul.
More than a hundred protesters are reported to have been injured during police interventions. Some suffered head injuries and at least two people had to receive emergency surgery.
Amnesty International activists who were observing the protest were also hit with truncheons and tear gassed.

New SARS-like virus is a 'threat to the entire world'
(CNN) -- A new SARS-like virus recently found in humans is "a threat to the entire world," according to the director-general of the United Nations' World Health Organization.
The so-called novel coronavirus "is not a problem that any single affected country can keep to itself or manage all by itself," Margaret Chan said Monday in her closing remarks at the 66th World Assembly in Geneva, Switzerland.
The world needs to pull together its resources to properly tackle the virus which, Chan said, is her "greatest concern" at present.
"We understand too little about this virus when viewed against the magnitude of its potential threat," she said, and more information is needed "quickly" and "urgently."
The virus had infected 44 people worldwide as of last week, most of them in the Middle East, according to the World Health Organization's most recent update Thursday. Half of them have died.

A 23rd person has died from it putting the deaths past the halfway mark. It was a man from France who had recently visited the Middle East.

Republicans Altered Benghazi Emails, CBS News Report finds:
One day after The White House released 100 pages of Benghazi emails, a report has surfaced alleging that Republicans released a set with altered text.
CBS News reported Thursday that leaked versions sent out by the GOP last Friday had visible differences than Wednesday's official batch. Two correspondences that were singled out in the report came from National Security Adviser Ben Rhodes and State Department Spokeswoman Victoria Nuland.
-snip-
The news parallels a Tuesday CNN report which initially introduced the contradiction between what was revealed in a White House Benghazi email version, versus what was reported in media outlets. On Monday, Mother Jones noted that the Republicans' interim report included the correct version of the emails, signaling that more malice and less incompetence may have been at play with the alleged alterations.
