New London Council Tells Kelo to Get Out
Posted By admin
Michael Cristofaro said he woke up Tuesday morning feeling that, along with his property rights, he had just been stripped of his citizenship. Hours earlier, officials in New London, Conn., had voted to evict the Cristofaros and Susette Kelo from their homes in a waterfront area of a struggling community. . . . 'I don't feel like an American citizen today at all,' Cristofaro said Tuesday. 'I feel like my rights have been totally violated.' (Los Angeles Times [1], Wednesday)
This happens in Zimbabwe too.
