First Emerald Heart awarded to Victims of Anthony Bologna

On September 17th, Americans woke up to the established fact that Fascistic control of America extended a Hand of Authority, of Brutality, over the First Amendment Rights of pacific US Citizens. 

Heroines instantly, Chelsea Elliott and Kaylee Dedrick are two of the principal victims of NYPD Lt. Anthony Bologna; he who faces a 'loss' of only ten Vacation Days, if he 'accepts' the 'findings' of the NYPD internal investigation. 

Elliott and Dedrick, shown in this 1m36s slow-motion video (and we do not know which woman is whom in it) 

... are 'penned' and then 'gassed' with pepper spray, in violation of all NYPD procedures for proper, 'by-the-book' arrestations and proven misuse of noxious chemical weaponry. 

A Village Voice article from October 17, 2011, documents the process of each woman Citizen is undertaking, by separate suits involving Bologna and the NYPD. 

As such, 'Occupy Emerald Heart', a newly-created Blog, situates ourselves to identify as HEROS and HEROINES, those brave American Citizens who have been targeted by State Agents for Brutal Oppression, with the risks of injury and further complications arising from their expression of our First Amendment Right to seek redress of grievances. 

Occupy Emerald Heart is hoping, in the weeks to come, to transcend from a 'digital award' to a substantive, physical Medal (patterned on the US military's Purple Heart), and offering recipients a recognition for their travails, with an award symbolizing the green of Emeralds and biologically pure, sustainable agriculture and our Planet. 

A follow-up article, in the VV, also describes in greater details the legal steps being considered, as well as the requests made upon the NYPD by these two brave Plaintiffs.

Chelsea and Kaylee, and their other 'penned-in American heroines' (the group sprayed and arrested were all women), are brave victims of the newest American scourge: Fascism. 

We at 'Occupy Emerald Heart' will be playing 'catch-up' with the long, growing list of American Heroes, and Heroines. 

Thank you for being Proud of Your and Our Country: united we can outweigh the financial tumult provoked by a Fascist government-business alliance of Evil People.
