Joey Huertas interview with Walt Everett, Restorative Justice anti-death penalty advocate (MVFHR)

 (interview excerpt)

Interview (excerpt) from a 2004 interview with Walt Everett, Restorative Justice advocate. This is an excerpt from interviews conducted by Joey Huertas for his Masters Degree of Social Work and Forensics Graduate Thesis on restorative justice and the death penalty. Walt Everett (1934-2020) was an ardent advocate of the anti-death penalty movement and is active in numerous abolition and restorative justice organizations. His story has been told in numerous publications including an extensive profile in Rolling Stone. In 1987 Walt Everett’s son, Scott, was shot and killed at the age of 24. For almost a year afterwards, Walt’s emotional state moved from rage to depression. He found it difficult to even go through the motions of his work as pastor of a United Methodist Church. It was only at the sentencing when he heard Mike Carlucci express remorse for killing Scott that Walt felt God nudging him towards forgiveness. Walt describes this journey as the most difficult thing he has ever had to do. He wrote to Mike on the first anniversary of Scott’s death. Thus began a correspondence, which led to visits and finally to Walt’s testifying on Mike’s behalf at a parole hearing. Based on this testimony, Mike obtained an early release and went to work for a trucking firm where his boss described him as “the best supervisor I ever had.” Walt and Mike often speak together at universities, churches and community groups about the healing power of forgiveness, healing for both the forgiven and forgiver. Walt was a pastor of United Methodist Church of Hartford, Connecticut. He met his wife at a bereavement group and between them they have six children, four of whom are still living, and eight grandchildren. Walt was an ardent advocate of the anti-death penalty movement and is active in numerous abolition and restorative justice organizations. His story has been told in numerous publications including an extensive profile in Rolling Stone. He believes MVFHR (Murder Victims Families For Human Rights) is “vital to the cause of abolition. MVFHR is an international, non-governmental organization of family members of murder victims and family members of the executed, all of whom oppose the death penalty in all cases. We view the death penalty as a profound violation of human rights. For too long we have allowed nations, including the United States of America, to go it alone when it comes to human rights issues. The intentional taking of a human life is a violation of the growing standards of morality of the worldwide community, and violates, as well, our understanding of who we are in God’s world.”

Meeting with drum legend - Alex Van Halen

Met up and chatted with one of my music heroes about my 1st drum kit I had as a kid and how he inspired me to play/practice drums for hours daily. Alex Van Halen essentially taught me how to play drums in my family's garage via his music - VAN HALEN. Alex is the real deal and a loyal as hell muthafucka! Condolences on the passing of his brother Eddie Van Halen.

Northern Lights have appeared across N.Y. tonight !


THE WASHINGTON POST
A solar storm hit Earth on Thursday and brought beautiful displays of the northern lights to dark skies farther south than normal. The timing of the storm provided a great show for Europe, but those in North America could also see the dazzling lights if the storm persists into nighttime.The storm was classified “severe” (ranked 4 out of 5 in severity) as of Thursday afternoon, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Forecasts show the storm could continue through Friday morning, but the timing could change as more data comes in. The agency said there is even a slight chance of “extreme” storming (ranked 5 out of 5) — a rare level only seen twice in about the past two decades. “It is looking really good for strong aurora tonight” in the United States, said Alex Young, a solar physicist at NASA.
