Mr. Cherry, a former truck driver, moved to Texas in the early 1970s. He found work as a clerk, a welder and a cabdriver. He reportedly had been married five times and had 15 children.\n\nI'm not really sure how long he was in public schooling.  I didn't have time to read all of these articles, but here's some for you:\n\nhttp://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A61428-2004Nov18.html\n\nhttp://afroamhistory.about.com/gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?site=http://www.al.com/specialreport/%3Fbombing/97%2Dcherry1.html

.2 Stephen Lawrence had been with his friend Duwayne Brooks during the afternoon of 22 April. They were on their way home when they came at around 22:30 to the bus stop in Well Hall Road with which we are all now so familiar. Stephen went to see if a bus was coming, and reached a position almost in the centre of the mouth of Dickson Road. Mr Brooks was part of the way between Dickson Road and the roundabout when he saw the group of five or six white youths who were responsible for Stephen's death on the opposite side of the road. \n\n1.3 Mr Brooks called out to ask if Stephen saw the bus coming. One of the youths must have heard something said, since he called out "what, what nigger?" With that the group came quickly across the road and literally engulfed Stephen. During this time one or more of the group stabbed Stephen twice. One witness thought that Mr Brooks was also attacked in the actual physical assault, but it appears from his own evidence that he was a little distance away from the group when the killing actually took place. He then turned and ran and called out to Stephen to run and to follow him. \n\n1.4 Three eye witnesses were at the bus stop. Joseph Shepherd knew Stephen. He boarded a bus which came to the stop probably as Stephen fell. He went straight to Mr & Mrs Lawrence's house and told them of the attack. Alexandra Marie also boarded the bus. She was seen later, and gave all the help she could. Royston Westbrook also boarded the bus. It was he who believed that Mr Brooks had also been physically attacked. None of these witnesses was able later to identify any of the suspects. All of them said that the attack was sudden and short.

Try contacting the local newspapers for Camden Town they should be able to tell you of any events happening. Could not think of anything else so hope this helps.

I think it very convincing. I remember wondering why there was no exterior plane wreckage the day it happened. If it was a missile or a military plane the government would want to hush it up as it would be difficult to pin that on Islamic nationalists unless they had help. It is a bit like the anthrax attacks. One of the 9-11skyjackers was treated for an anthrax skin lesion, an extremely rare condition before 9-11. There was also a very direct link between one of the skyjackers and the first anthrax victim. His former landlord worked in the same building. Yet the government avoided investigating any links and tried to find a scapegoat.

The worrying thing is that this has actually happened - some numbskulls on a council estate attacked the home of a female paediatrician.\n\nMakes you despair of this country, doesn't it?\n\nYou know what - I actually feel EMBARRASSED for the twats that took this seriously. Wake up to yourselves, FOOLS!

My husband was a National Guard in Detroit at the time & got activated. He was gone for several weeks during the riots. The t.v. news would say only 2 or 3 was shot or just a few were killed at the end. It was all Lie's. He was a medic & was stationed in Harper hospital in downtown Detroit & saw them carrying in stretchers with 2 & 3 dead bodies piled on them at a time constantly. They didn't want the truth be let out on the local news for fear of things getting even worse. Back then they covered up a lot of the gory stuff, it was not like the news now a days where they tell & show everything.

Still a little in shock and such over the event. I was at my school (high school at the time) waiting for a class to start. The class clown of our grade, Sean, walked in saying his dad just called and said something about [I don't remember what he said exactly]. We all told him stop kidding. We then got the announcement over the PA of what had happened. I think at that time both towers were hit. We got to go home early. My dad worked in NYC but nowhere near there. As for people who passed on, a co-worker of my dad's wife was in one of the tower's on one of the floors that was directly hit. Her name is Laura Longing.

Try the newspaper websites.  BIG DRUG bust today in the hood.  Lots of people in jail, including a crooked femal Chicago cop.  Lot of bangers went down.

Who really knows.  With all the arrests (and susbsequent releases) surrounding the case, too much false hope has been given to the public, to the police, and most importantly, to the family.\n\nThis was a horrible incident, and I for one have learned to NEVER, EVER visit Aruba.  The Dutch justice system isn't working there.

Yup. I heard about 2days ago. I live in Detroit so it was one the local news not to long after it occured. It's a really sad thing. And I hate to say this, because of the outcome, but it usually takes a tragedy for people to understand consequences.

how sick is that then eh...news clip for you\n\nman is in hospital with severe internal injuries after trying to launch a powerful firework rocket from his backside. \n\nSafety campaigners say they have never come across such a bizarre incident but it is thought the man, 22, could have been copying a scene from the controversial film Jackass: The Movie which shows a similar prank. \n\nThe incident in Sunderland was captured by a gang of youths and the fuzzy mobile phone footage shows a blinding white flash followed by hysterical laughter. \n\n\nA spokeswoman for the North East Ambulance Service said: "We received a call stating there was a male who had a firework in his bottom and it was bleeding. \n"He was attended to and taken to Sunderland Royal Hospital." \n\nThe victim is recovering at Sunderland Royal Hospital after sustaining horrific internal injuries including a scorched colon. \n\nSafety experts on Thursday warned that misusing the explosives in such a senseless way can have serious consequences. \n\nPolice and paramedics were called to the Dame Dorothy Street area of Monkwearmouth, in Sunderland, after reports of the stunt. \n\nThe prank, involving a Black Cat Thunderbolt Rocket, has left safety officers bemused. \n\nA spokesman for the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) said: "It's so unfortunate that someone is now paying the price for the misuse of fireworks. Let's not forget these are explosives. They come with specific instructions about how they should be used."

Wow! I wasn't aware that everyone knew about the terrorist attack prior to it happening.\n\nDemocrats & the Liberals would have you believe that it was only the government that knew.\n\nCan you guys get your stories straight please. Its no wonder you are all so messed up with your thinking, you can't even coordinate consistancy with your lies.

(I have rearranged the paragraphs from theage.com's article cited below).\n\nPavel Hlava, an immigrant construction worker from the Czech Republic, shot footage of the first plane hitting the north tower as a 4WD vehicle he was riding in entered the Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel en route to lower Manhattan. \n\nThe footage, obtained by The New York Times, was taken by a Czech immigrant construction worker whose son at one point came close to accidentally erasing the rare, chilling footage, the newspaper reported on its website today. \n\nThe only videotape known to have captured both planes slamming into the World Trade Centre, and only the second image of the first strike, has surfaced on the eve of the second anniversary of the September 11, 2001, attacks. \n\nFederal officials investigating the Trade Centre collapse are trying to obtain a copy of the hourlong tape, which could cast light on the cause of the north tower's collapse by helping to determine factors including the exact speed at which the first plane travelled, The Times said. \n\nThe only other known footage of the first plane's impact came from a French film crew making a documentary about a probationary firefighter. \n\nHlava, who made the tape looking at the camera's relatively low-resolution LCD display, told the Times he did not see the first plane as he focused on the towers. \n\nBut the tape shows a whitish object hitting the tower, followed by dust spurting from the tower's side and a silvery, expanding cloud. \n\nPassing through the tunnel, Hlava, his brother and his boss heard a radio report that a small private plane had hit the World Trade Centre, straight ahead outside the tunnel. \n\nThat hardly prepared them for what they saw when they emerged: the north tower, looming over them, bursting with flames. \n\nAs Hlava continued filming, the second jet shrieked behind him. He caught the plane as it crashed into the south tower, exploding into an orange fireball and sending papers flying in every direction. \n\nLater, after crossing the Brooklyn Bridge, he focused on the buildings again as the south tower tilted to one side and collapsed. \n\nHlava and his brother, Josef, unsuccessfully tried to sell the tape in New York and in the Czech Republic, the newspaper said. \n\nHlava said through a Czech-language translator that language difficulties hindered his ability to sell or release the tape to the media. \n\nHe also said that so much time had passed that he had doubted there was still interest in the tape. \n\n"All his friends, they told him, 'Hey, you made a mistake. You waited too long'," translator David Melichar told The Times. \n\nHlava's boss, who was driving, also had strong objections to selling the tape, Melichar said. \n\nHlava and Melichar's numbers are not listed and attempts by The Associated Press to reach them were unsuccessful. \n\nIn the weeks and months after the attack, the tape sat in Hlava's apartment in the Ridgewood section of Queens. \n\nOn one occasion, Hlava said he noticed that his son was playing with the video camera and erasing the tape. Hlava snatched the camera away before either of the plane impacts were erased. \n\nA friend of Hlava's wife obtained a copy of the tape and traded it to another Czech immigrant to pay off a bar tab. \n\nAnother woman learned of the existence of the copy and brought it to the attention of a freelance news photographer who took the tape to The Times.\n\nThe photographer, Walter Karling, who now describes himself as Hlava's agent, said it had not been sold to any television station. The Times said it had not paid for the tape. \n\nKarling's number was not published and he could not be reached for comment by The Associated Press. \n\n\n- AP

Hmm, good question.  Local newspaper will have it though...in a day or two.  You can try and check out the local police station website, don't know if maybe they list stuff like that.  I don't think there's too many ways to find out, people in accident probably don't want everyone gossiping about them.
