Things That Make You Ask Why: Why is Political Cartooning a Dangerous Profession? Why Are Prisoners in an LA County Jail Beat and Tortured? Why Would Sheriffs Kill a Mother of 5? And, What Will You Do About It?
Weekly Program
Dwayne Booth aka Mr. Fish (political cartoonist & author); Ron Kaye (Attorney); Maria Flores (Cousin of victim of Police Murder Mayra Cornejo)
In the wake of the attack on Charlie Hebdo, Mr. Fish talks about cartooning, how it can inspire, and how it can enrage. An LA judge awarded $5.4 M attorney fees to 5 prisoners brutally beaten in LA County Men's Central Jail. Ron Kaye represented the five prisoners. Maria Flores on her cousin, Mayra Cornejo, shot her seven times with no warning by LA County Sheriffs. A challenge to actors, visual artists, singers, musicians and all kinds of artists to take a public stand against police murder.
