(CBS4) BOSTON The makers of the controversial “Stop Snitchin” shirts are launching a new line of “socially responsible” t-shirts promoting peace.
Antonio Ansaldi unveiled their “Start Peace” t-shirt Saturday. The shirts are in response to recent criticism of the company’s “Stop Snitchin” shirts.
Last month, in an agreement with Boston Mayor Tom Menino, Antonio Ansaldi stopped selling the snitch shirts. Now they hope their Peace shirts will set an example for other local stores carrying violent t-shirts.
"We're trying to make peace contagious and fashionable at the same time,” says owner Antonio Ennis.
Half the profits from the “Start Peace” shirts will go to the Louis D. Brown Peace Institute's Survivors of Homicide fund.
While Antonio Ansaldi no longer sells the Stop Snitchin shirts, other companies carry similar lines.
Last week, state court judge Robert Mulligan, banned Stop Snitchin clothing in all Massachusetts state courtrooms. Some say the shirts promote witness intimidation.
***** I did an additional Verizon Search and came up with alternatives to The Boston Globe article that I posted earlier. I didn't like that I couldn't post the article link, or that they encouraged subscribing to them in order to view news articles or archives. I believe in the free access of the news. It made me a bit nervous to post their article. "Hiphopculture.org" seems to be an interesting blog site-cool music as well.
Every single person and every single creature that is alive today on this Earth
- August 24, 2008 til around the year 2880 will all be dead when January 1, 3000 happens.
What do I know:
- I don't even know exactly how many generations of people that is.
- I have absolutely no idea what the terrain will look like then,
and I know that most things occurring today,
and for quite awhile from now, will not matter
or even be remembered by those alive then.
Will they even have books?
What can happen around the span of a 1000 years or so?
- The Roman Empire lasted approx 851 years. [625BC-476AD]
- The Pilgrim exploring party went ashore at Plymouth in America approx [1620] 388 years ago.
- The Nazi Party Ruled about 12 years [1933-1945]
- The Titanic took approx 2 hours and 40 minutes for her to sink. [11:40pm:14th-2:20am:15th April 1912]
- There is active Christian discussion on this being the latter day
- the time being at hand -
that indicates that somewhere in this clock
the prophecied tribulation could happen.
Would I be worthy?
- 10 out of 10 people do not leave this world alive.
- Somewhere in the time of this clock I'll be leaving here,
just like others I have known have already left.
- I know that spirits exist.
Do I know where those I have known are in spirit - no.
But I know that they are alive in the Lord's heart.
I know that He knows just where they are.
I hope and pray that they are ok.
In His heart I know and believe that they are.
- I believe in the promises of Christ, and know that I am ok.
What do you know?
