Welcome to our blog!

The purpose of this blog is for us to be able to show off citizen journalism! Many newspapers and television news stations are now making it so that their viewers become the reporters, allowing them to show off things in their surroundings that are important to them. We encourage you to add whatever you feel is important to you in your surrounding community of TAMUCC and beyond!

This is also a plce where we are going to discuss a little bit more about citizen journalism and other websites that have their audience participate in news making whether it is serious or not so serious news.

Enjoy!

SafetySuit Opening Act Kicked Off Stage











During the Campus Activities Board (CAB) concert April 21, Charles Colley, lead singer of the local band Shrimp Scampi and Heavenly Blues, was escorted off the stage by university police. This left concertgoers with an additional 45-minute intermission before SafetySuit took the stage. I took these photos of Colley being escorted off the stage by police.
According to the police report on the TAMUCC Web site, Colley was issued a citation (not arrested, as it appeared) with a liquor law violation.
This citation poses many questions to why Colley was escorted off stage. If he was kicked off for his vocal obscenities, then where does the liquor law violation come in? Were Colley's 1st Amendment rights violated? Who gave police authority to escort him off the stage?
