Indeed, Jones Dickson promises justice by prosecuting more children as adults and sending them to adult prisons. Now, though, she has finally found a judge to drop manslaughter charges against the killer of Steven Taylor, former San Leandro cop Jason Fletcher."
"Anyone who truly cares about future generations and acknowledges the impacts of climate change and the health risks of coal-related particulate pollution can't in their right mind want to locally handle, ship and ultimately facilitate the burning of several million tons of coal annually.
