.YOU DON'T HAVE TO DIE FOR REVOLUTION YOU HAVE TO LIVE FOR REVOLUTION
CrimeStrike arose out of necessity. The NRA had come into its own as a political power during the Reagan era, but by the early 1990s, it was strapped for cash. The organization ran up a $9 million deficit in 1991 and was on pace for a $30 million shortfall in 1992, even as it was preparing to go to the mattresses over assault weapons and background checks. The NRA needed a shot in the arm.
LaPierre launched CrimeStrike that spring with $2 million in seed money from the parent organization and a simple platform: mandatory minimums, harsher parole standards, adult sentences for juveniles, and, critically, more prisons. "Our prisons are overcrowded. Our bail laws are atrocious. We'll be the bad guy," he announced.
States needed prisons in part because the NRA was pushing a legislative agenda designed to keep them full. In 1993, CrimeStrike spent $90,000 to put on the ballot in Washington state a new kind of sentencing law called "Three strikes and you're out," in which third-term offenders would be given a mandatory life sentences, on the ballot. Voters in the state passed the measure. The next year, CrimeStrike set its eyes on a bigger prize: California.
The number of people serving time in state or federal prisons increased 100 percent between 1990 and 2005. But California and Texas, the two states where the NRA had expended the most capital, were the most striking examples. The Golden State's three-strikes law differed from most of the other 29 in that it applied to an exceedingly broad definition of what amounted to a "strike." Under its guidelines, nonviolent crimes—including, in one famous case, the filching of a slice of pizza—were enough to put someone behind bars for life.
Uh, the NRA is the last people black and latino people need speaking to them. They helped further the prison-industrial complex that surely doesn't favor minorities. They are a corporate gun lobby, no one needs them speaking for anyone. They're slime-balls in it for financial gain..

If you don't care enough to watch it then don't watch it. It isn't a movie, you can't give a plot synopsis.
Pretty sure the majority of the people who will watch it are a fan of Immortal Technique and do not care about the summary.edit on 27-2-2013 by WaterBottle because: (no reason given)
Immortal Technique is correct, both parties are two wings on the same buzzard. How in the hell is that leftist propaganda? That left and right sh1+ is an illusion.

It is brainwash. Already 3 minutes in Immortal Technique is pushing the ''both parties are the same'' message. Alex backs him up and says yeah yeah yeah Romney or Obama they both would do the same. Total Leftist propaganda.
You can watch it, and learn the technique. It actually is useful to watch this stuff and monitor the enemies of America.

I'm far from duped, my friend. I know a lot more than you think, and I think I'm done here.

You have fallen for the trick of left and right being the same. You are literally duped.
The left and the right are absolutely fundamentally different.
The view that you are given by the leftist Media conditions you to think this way. The Media are not all for American supremacy. The Republicans are completely for American supremacy. You might want to start thinking about it in terms of Home team and Visitor. The Visitors, or Aliens, are the threat. Rabbits are a threat. There are many code words in this complex game. You most definitely do not want to follow a white rabbit.
