Cory Maye

More on this later, but for now, you must read The Agitator's coverage of the Cory Maye story. Read this one and then this.

Cory had been slightly on my radar as part of a drug war victim story, but it appears the real story is even worse. We have a drug war victim that we are in the process even now. The way the story is shaping up:

  • A man with no prior record, at home with his daughter in the middle of the night.
  • Police serve a warrant to the other resident of the duplex, and an officer mistakes Cory's door as part of the other resident and busts in unannounced.
  • Cory hears someone enter the house and gets his gun to protect himself and his daughter. In the darkness, shoots at the intruder and kills a cop.
  • Cory is on death row in Mississippi.
Perhaps this is a drug war victim we can still save.

Welcome M.A.S.H. visitors

Haven't had a chance to post in the past few days -- it's the last week of classes for the semester, and everything is happening at once at the university (I also did production photography for a dance concert and four theatre productions this week.) It'll be a couple more days before I can get back to speed.

Yesterday, I had the opportunity to speak at Illinois State University's HempFest -- sponsored by Moblizing Activists and Students for Hemp (M.A.S.H.). It was a lot of fun.

So, for any new visitors from the HempFest, make yourself at home. Read some of the articles on the left, including Drug War Victims and "Why Is Marijuana Illegal" -- one that we discussed.

There's a war going on. It destroys lives and families, spawns violence, suspends civil liberties, tramples on the infirm, locks up millions of peaceful citizens, costs billions, and subjugates reason with fear. This blog looks at the front lines of the drug war, with news, analysis, and the occasional rant.
