Major protest in Fresno

Now there have been many protests over the years dealing with all sorts of topics, everything from women's rights to how the wars over seas have taken a toll on us all because of a President that had an old score to settle (which all came out in the end that it had been for the bloody oil in the first place). However there is one protest going on right now (and yes I did get photos but I can't post them considering that the only phone I happen to have right now is not connected up and the one person that was helping in that area is having a bit of a hissy fit for everyone using his phone, for which I rarely need it unless I seriously need it), one that had been splashed all over the news (both ABC 30 and The Fresno Bee), but will not get covered any more because they don't think that it's news worthy, or if it happens to be that it's going to be shunted off to a two second mention right next to another nation wide article.
 
Well as far as I can see, this is getting bigger than what the news places want people to think, but then again then never could remain unbiased towards anything, after all in their eyes, if the person is locked up then they must be guilty (doesn't matter if it happens to be the truth or not). Well with the people that are currently over in front of the court house, they're not only protesting what's going on with the Chukchansi Indians tribal leaders, but also at the same time that the voting rights that they have are getting trampled on like crazy, after all the ones that were voted out in the first place (and I got this from the prior news articles of the Bee) refuse to leave their positions. Then when they hold yet another election, the results of that one are the complete polar opposite of the election that had taken place.
 
Now in all honesty I really don't know what happened up there since I can't exactly leave Fresno right at the moment, but from what I had seen in the photos (which were posted in a prior blog entry here in My World), this whole thing has been going wrong from the start. What it also tells me is that the ones that were properly elected in the first place couldn't get in because the last ones that had the power wanted to keep that power (gee sounds like an power corrupting moment right there), after all just like Lord Acton stated "Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupt absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men, even when they exercise influence and not authority; still more when you super add the tendency of the certainty of corruption by authority." (That is from the Lord Acton Quote Archive) Personally though I like a better quote that one amazing person stated that should be utilized better "With great power must come great responsibility" Ben Parker to Peter Parker right after he got his spider powers.
 
Personally though I can't take sides here, I honestly believe that if the first election was the fair and correct one that started this entire thing (though I have no idea how that election went off since I only got to read about it in the Bee after everything was said and done, and I know that by far this story seriously isn't over by a long shot) then maybe we should look over those first results and see what went wrong, and have a mediator that not only is fair but also at the same time isn't from the government (either federal or Tribal) to help clear things up when it comes to all of this. However the only thing that one might end up seeing is the same end results of the second election that had taken place, and that's the same strong arm tactics that were stated to have happened in the first place. Who knows?
 
I will get those photos up on here once I can get them off of my phone, so you the reader will have to wait for those, but when they get up here they will bring into light everything that I had just been talking about above.
