And the FA09 music posts begin...

Justin Townes Earle is playing on Wednesday night at the Rose Bowl in Urbana. I'm going to go get tickets tonight ($12).

Parties interested in coming and buying a ticket or giving me $$ to buy them a ticket should let me know!

It's going to be a good show.

PROTECT JESHUAN MANNING-CARTER!!

This petition is aimed at dropping the charge of aggravated resistance of a peace officer against Jeshaun Manning-Carter. For those of you who are unaware of this case, the charge stems from Carter and his friend Kiwane Carrington's encounter with the Champaign Police on October 9th, 2009. Kiwane was shot dead by Champaign Police Chief R.T. Finney, in which Carter suffered the trauma of witnessing this event.

There is no credible testimony in Jeshaun's resistance of Chief Finney, who was in fact not in uniform when the event happened. In addition, it is not clear whether Chief Finney informed the boys that he was Champaign police.

You can help by signing the petition in the efforts of dropping the charge against Jeshaun Manning-Carter. Petitions will be posted in the DURP Office. For more information, please contact Regina Pritchett at pritche1@illinois.edu
