Although the dumpster was often better stocked, police patrols always increased on the weekend. Every hour a police cruiser would circle behind the Save-A-Lot for a burglary check. And the party crowd came out in full force. One Saturday night, I had to sit in the pasture behind the store while two drunks pounded one another to a pulp in the front parking lot. You never knew what you would run into on the weekend. For the past three summers I‘d been coming into town to gather food for the winter. I had a small temporary camp in the woods outside of Murphy, North Carolina. Late at night, I’d collect discarded fruit and vegetables from the lone dumpster behind the Save-A-Lot grocery store. Back at camp the produce was cleaned, sliced, and put out to dry in the sun. After a couple of months I had enough desiccated onions, tomatoes, green peppers, and strawberries to last me all winter. When I was finished, I backpacked the stuff to my winter camp in the mountains. Saturday, May 31, 2003, was one of those rare occasions. Two nights earlier I‘d found a box of bruised bananas in the dumpster. This was the first sign that the store was preparing to dump its entire inventory of bananas. I’d seen it many times before. If my calculations proved correct, I would find a couple hundred pounds of produce tonight. I’d get a good head start on the summer drying if I got those bananas. “It’s worth the risk,” I told myself. “You have dodged that patrol car a hundred times before. You can do it again.” Rolling out from under my poncho shelter, I wiped the sleep from my eyes and donned my garbage clothes: fatigue jacket, stained paints, a pair of rotten Adidas tennis shoes. There was little moonlight. In the darkness, my feet remembered the trail down the ridge. At the bottom, an overgrown access road led out to the four-lane highway. Murphy was on the far side of the bridge that spanned the Valley River. I looked both ways, watching for headlights, then sprinted across the bridge. Dropping below the bridge, I followed a rutted path to the back of the Save-A-Lot. Halfway to the dumpster I heard the whoosh of car tires on the asphalt and looked up to see a police cruiser rounding the corner of the building. His headlights were turned off. I was caught in the open. Sprinting for the loading dock, I ducked behind a stack of milk crates, hoping he hadn’t seen me. But once I reached the crates I realized that there was no way that he could have missed me. To make matters worse, I had foolishly trapped myself against the building when I should have run the other way toward the pasture and the river. He quickly positioned his cruiser in front of the crates, blocking off my escape route. He began probing for me with his spotlight. The bright beam of light spilled through the crates. “Come out and show me your hands!” he yelled. Pinned against the building, I searched for a way out. I had no weapons on me, so resistance was not an option. There was an opening — off the far end of the loading dock. If I ran now I could beat him to the pasture. But something inside me said to stay put: “Stop running,” the voice said. “You can take whatever they throw at you.” Instantly I felt an incredible calm. I stepped out from behind the crates. A second patrol car roared up, followed by a third. Pretty soon the alley behind Save-A-Lot was jammed with police cars. Two cops converged on me with their guns drawn; one applied handcuffs. Questions were asked. I gave them a false name and social security number. I said I was homeless and searching the dumpster for food. While one cop went on the radio to check out the information that I gave him, another one held a flashlight in my face. 1 Between the Lines of Drift After keeping the flashlight beam on my face for ten seconds, he turned and hurried over to the gaggle of cops. They huddled together speaking in excited tones. “Safe-keeping,” the cop said. “We’re going to take you in for some safe-keeping . Get you some food . See if you need some medical attention.” Safe-keeping was one of those new devices cops were using to detain people without having to go through the formality of arresting them. Having no weapons or drugs on me, there was no probable cause for an arrest. But I knew why they wanted to take me in, and it had nothing to do with “safe-keeping.” They wanted my fingerprints. Once those fingerprints were put into the system, the FBI would be along shortly. The jig was up. It had ended pretty much as I always thought it would. The cop did a Crazy Ivan on me. I had watched him pass behind Save-A-Lot on my way across the pasture. It looked like a routine patrol. Usually I’d sit in the tall grass for a few minutes, just in case he came back around, as he sometimes did. But that night I didn’t wait. I hopped the pasture fence and started across the pavement. Meanwhile, the cop had circled around the front of the Save-A-Lot, and then drove back through the alley, this time with his lights out. I never saw him coming. He was on top of me before I knew it. The convoy of cop cars drove me to the Cherokee County Courthouse in downtown Murphy. At 4:00 a.m. the streets were deserted. The stoplights flashed yellow. I used to wear a handcuff key around my neck for just such an occasion. But that was a long time ago; seemed like ages almost. Attached to the rear of the courthouse was the county jail. It was a red brick box with rusted iron bars over the windows. Built in the 1920s, the ancient jail looked its age. If not for the police vehicles parked out front you would have thought it was a condemned building. A dented metal door buzzed open and the cops led me into the booking area where they sat me down in one of the black plastic bus station seats that lined the wall. Three cops stood guard in front of me while the others disappeared into a side room. It was quiet as a cave in there. The cop in front of me had a big smile on his over-sized face. Then, like a jury returning to render its verdict, the little procession of cops emerged from the side room to congregate in front of me. The congregation slowly parted like the Red Sea to let one of the officers through. In his hand he held a sheet of paper. “Who’s that?” he asked, thrusting the sheet of paper into my face. It was an FBI Ten Most Wanted poster with my name and picture on it. I recognized the photograph as one I had taken with my mother in Times Square back in 1997. The cop grinned real big; black flecks of Copenhagen snuff were wedged between his front teeth, making him look like a shit-eating dog. Looking at the poster, then back at the cop, I pretended not to understand. “Who does it say I am?” I asked.

Lieser Doctor of Philosophy, Graduate Program in History University of California, Riverside, December 2014 Dr. Catherine Gudis, Chairperson The 1984 Olympics offer an unprecedented opportunity to consider the way that sports were used as cultural and ideological warfare or soft power in the late stages of the Cold War era. Despite the Soviet Union’s decision to boycott the Olympics in Los Angeles in 1984, the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics were a claimed “victory” by President Ronald Reagan in the Cultural Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union. Los Angeles won the right to host the games, and was a politically prudent choice for the United States within the context of the Cultural Cold War. The complicated history of Los Angeles and its constructed post-WWII identity are important elements to the choice of Los Angeles as host city. The Soviet boycott of the 1984 Olympic Games by the Soviet Union is central to the buildup to 1984, but due to the financial success of the Games the Soviet absence was not the crisis that many predicted.

  • Anti-Choice Violence and Intimidation
    Anti-Choice Violence and Intimidation A campaign of violence, vandalism, and intimidation is endangering providers and patients and curtailing the availability of abortion services. Since 1993, eight clinic workers – including four doctors, two clinic employees, a clinic escort, and a security guard – have been murdered in the United States.1 Seventeen attempted murders have also occurred since 1991.2 In fact, opponents of choice have directed more than 6,400 reported acts of violence against abortion providers since 1977, including bombings, arsons, death threats, kidnappings, and assaults, as well as more than 175,000 reported acts of disruption, including bomb threats and harassing calls.3 The Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act (FACE) provides federal protection against the unlawful and often violent tactics used by abortion opponents. Peaceful picketing and protest is not prohibited and is explicitly and fully protected by the law.4 State clinic protection laws in 16 states and the District of Columbia, as well as general statutes prohibiting violence, provide additional protection.5 Although the frequency of some types of clinic violence declined after the 1994 enactment of FACE, violence at reproductive-health centers is far from being eradicated.6 Vigorous enforcement of clinic-protection laws against those who use violence and threats is essential to protecting the lives and well-being of women and health-care providers.

  • The Immediate and Gradual Impact of Terrorist Attacks on the Sports Events Industry
    The immediate and gradual impact of terrorist attacks on the sports events industry Ayeisha Dsouza Introduction The Munich massacre at the Olympics of 1972 , the Centennial Olympic park explosion of 1996 at Atlanta , explosion near Bernabeu stadium in Madrid in 2002, suicide bomb attack against the New Zealand cricket team in 2002 in Pakistan and gunfire attack on the Sri Lankan cricket team in 2009 in Pakistan, suicide bomber attack at a marathon in Sri Lanka in 2008 , Boston Marathon bomb attack in 2013 (Galily et al , 2015), bomb attack outside Stade de France during a series of attacks in 2015 (Spaaij,2016) ,series of controlled explosions on the German football club Borussia Dortmund this year (The Wire, 2017) are instances of how sports events have been continuously targeted by terrorists. Before the Munich massacre of 1972, the main threat of sports events was hooligan behaviour but the increasing attack on sports events have put counterterrorism strategies to the forefront (Toohey et al, 2003). Sporting events of the 20th & 21st century have lost their innocence due to the activities of terrorist organisations and individuals Atkinson and Young, 2012). “There have been 168 terrorist attacks related to sport between 1972 and 2004” (Clark, Kennelly quoted 2004,2005 in Toohey et al, 2008, p 451) Contemporary terrorists prefer targets with dense gatherings and worldwide media coverage to spread their message and cause widespread trauma, sports events provide a perfect setting and are increasingly targeted by terrorists (Spaaij and Hamm,2015). Sports mega events also carry a symbolic and prestigious element and are used by host nations for the concept of nation branding (Gripsurd et al,2010).

  • The Myth of the Scapegoat in Newspaper Coverage Of
    FROM HERO TO SCAPEGOAT: THE MYTH OF THE SCAPEGOAT IN NEWSPAPER COVERAGE OF RICHARD JEWELL AS BOMBING SUSPECT – A TEXTUAL ANALYSIS by THOMAS J. MYERS (Under Direction the of Leara Rhodes) ABSTRACT In 1996, a bomb exploded in Centennial Olympic Park during a concert held as part of the celebration for the Summer Olympic Games in Atlanta, Georgia. After initially being hailed in the press as a hero for his efforts to save lives during the moments following the bombing, security guard Richard Jewell emerged as a suspect in the FBI investigation of the bombing. The story was revealed in the press by the Atlanta Journal Constitution on July 30, 1996. What followed was an intense media investigation of a man who was not arrested or charged with any crime. This study examines the existence of the Scapegoat Myth as defined by Jack Lule, in the newspaper coverage of Richard Jewell. A textual analysis of 64 newspaper articles found in the Atlanta Journal and Constitution and The New York Times forms the basis of this project. The findings show distinct patterns of the Scapegoat myth in the AJC coverage, and an overall sense of objectivity in the New York Times coverage.

  • The 2016 Olympic Games: Health, Security, Environmental, and Doping Issues
    The 2016 Olympic Games: Health, Security, Environmental, and Doping Issues L. Elaine Halchin, Coordinator Specialist in American National Government John W. Rollins, Coordinator Specialist in Terrorism and National Security August 8, 2016 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov R44575 The 2016 Olympic Games: Health, Security, Environmental, and Doping Issues Summary The 2016 Olympic Games will be held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, August 5-21, 2016, and will be followed by the Paralympic Games, September 7-18, 2016. Notably, these are the first games to be hosted by a South American city. Reportedly, 10,500 athletes from 206 countries will participate in the Olympics, including 555 athletes from the United States. Most Olympic events will take place in and around Rio de Janeiro. In addition to Rio de Janeiro, soccer matches will be held in the cities of Belo Horizonte, Brasília, Manaus, São Paulo, and Salvador. Host countries and cities often have to deal with a variety of questions or issues, which is also true for Brazil and Rio de Janeiro. The list of issues or potential problems that might have implications for athletes, team personnel, and spectators participating in or attending the 2016 Rio Games includes the Zika virus, public safety threats, security concerns, and environmental conditions. It also bears noting that the act of hosting the Olympics may have implications for Brazil. Finally, doping is of particular concern this year because of revelations regarding a state- orchestrated doping scheme perpetrated by Russian authorities and sports organizations. Each candidate city for the 2016 Games was required to address 14 themes in its bid, such as environment and meteorology, finance, security, medical services, and doping control.
