Traveling with two humans in tow.

Or really, a cat in tow with the two transient bohemians. Cats tend to prefer high places to scan their surroundings. The white feline can be seen tucked away on the man’s shoulders on the right. Downtown Asheville, North Carolina.

World’s Chileans, We Are Joined.

October 27, 2019. Downtown Asheville, North Carolina, outside the US Cellular Center.

World’s Chileans, We Are Joined

A peaceful protest on a Sunday afternoon staged by native Chileans in solidarity with the ongoing demonstrations in the country of Chile. Thousands of people in Chile have taken to the streets to protest against the government. Because of the very low wages of most of the country’s citizens,Chileans responded to raises in the Santiago Metro’s subway fare, increasing the cost of living, and prevalent inequality in the country.

Chilean President Sebastian Pinera faced new protests demanding for his resignation after he replaced eight cabinet members .

Nudist

Downtown Asheville, North Carolina.

The young woman pictured below was visiting Asheville from Charlotte, North Carolina. She lamented that as a nudist, she could not freely walk around topless in Charlotte without being sexually harassed, hence the trip to liberal Asheville. Still, as a precaution, she was accompanied by her male friend (not pictured).

No Justice, No Peace

Rally held for man killed by police in Asheville, NC. July 6, 2016.

We want the truth - Patton Avenue.

We want the truth – Patton Avenue.

Friends, supporters and family of 35 years old Jai Williams (known as “Jerry” to family and friends), who was gunned down on Saturday, July 2 at Deaverview Apartments in Asheville, gathered at the downtown Asheville Police Department on Wednesday, July 6. The demonstrators demanded answers as to what actually occurred in the confrontation between Williams and the Asheville police on the night of the shooting. Although little local media coverage was to be found, family and friends were interviewed by Channel 7 News from Spartanburg, SC.

The protest was peaceful but passionate. Chanting “No justice, no peace”, the demonstration made its way though the streets of downtown before stopping in front of the Asheville Police Department. As the rally neared its end, in a display of passive resistance, protest signs that were carried through the streets by the demonstrators were laid out in front of the Asheville Police Department as a reminder that all lives are entitled to equal acknowledgement and respect.

The police officer involved in the altercation is currently on administrative leave. The State Bureau of Investigations has been called in to investigate the case.

A Go Fund Me page has been set up to collect funds that will be exclusively used to cover any legal fees, counseling services, and other ancillary expenses related to seeking justice for Jai Williams.

Further updates regarding the incident have been released by the family that contradicts the official police reports. More information can be found via this link.

Vowing to seek answers.
