Ticket Master are Thieves

I purchased tickets last week, online, for Vans Warped Tour in Hartford, CT for this Sunday.
Somewhere there was an error in their system, and they sent me tickets for Thursday in Massachussets.
I did not become aware of this error until the morning, when I received an e-mail asking me to complete a survey about Warped Tour in Mass. on Thursday. I looked at my tickets. Sure enough, they say "Comast Center, Massachussets".
I called them to explain this error and exchange the tickets for the ones I had tried to purchase for Sunday in Hartford, and they won't. The tickets I purchased were not redeemed in Massachussets, because we didn't go there. We had no intention of going, believing we had purchased tickets for Hartford, as intended. So, they have my money, and I don't have tickets for the show I want to see.
They refuse to exchange the tickets, even though they have my money for tickets that were not redeemed for the already, now, past event.
FUCK YOU, TICKETMASTER.

San Francisco Police Gun Down Unarmed, Handcuffed Occupy Protestor

http://www.examiner.com/article/police-gun-down-occupy-protestor

Witnesses tell the tale of a handcuffed #OccupySF protestor being shot twice in the back by a member of the San Francisco Police Department.

As the police state continues to intensify, instances where members of the citizenry are being treated like second-class citizens and either spied on, unnecessarily targeted, unlawfully arrested and tazed and/or shot also continues to increase.

Such was the case Wednesday morning as eye-witness video, via #OccupySF Repressed Media and uploaded to Youtube, captured the victim, in what appears to be downtown San Francisco, being loaded into an ambulance, lying motionless and still in the handcuffs.

Video: Police gun down Occupy protestor
Based on the video statement, the incident took place around 10:30 AM PST, in front of the “Federal” Reserve building at 101 Market Street. The statement also stated,

A man had just been shot and killed by SFPD by the SAFEWAY near Sue Bierman Park. OccupySF Repressed Media responded and witnessed paramedics and SFFD moving a body into an ambulance. Eyewitnesses report SFPD shot and killed an apparently unarmed Asian or Hispanic man twice in the back WHILE HE WAS ALREADY IN HANDCUFFS. WTF? #FTP We later discovered that the witness in this video actually saw the incident. #OccupySF Repressed Media was the first camera on the scene.

Although members of the population that can be classified as “minorities” will typically say that being targeted by police is nothing new, especially in poor and urban areas and inner cities where there is a high concentration of minorities, instances of police brutality and a general overreach of policing power is on the rise.

Anger is already brewing within the national #Occupy movement over these new developments. Tensions were already high in the SF/Oakland area with regard to the Occupy movement, already experiencing many police state like situations, prior to today's shooting.

These types of instances do not bode well for police/citizen relations. As the economy continues to worsen and tensions continue to rise between the haves and have-nots, police overstepping their bounds and attacking defenseless individuals will only serve to make people feel inclined to retaliate. The SF Police are urged to act quickly and publicly state their willingness to thoroughly investigate the incident and fairly punish the Officer(s) involved to the fullest extent of the law.

Jill Stein has chosen Cheri Honkala, a leader in anit-poverty activism, as her running mate for POTUS 2012 elections.

I would give my left nut to see these two in office.
Too bad they haven't a snowball's chance in Hell.
