Jason at Karen’s daughter Christina’s 13th b-day 2007
A Candlelight Vigil is going to be held in honor of Jason E. “Hoss” Hallstrom, on Saturday, April 13, 2013 at the Target center on 17th and Grand Ave., in Santa Ana at 7 pm.
On March 15, Hallstrom and Travis Mock, 29, were being chased by SAPD SWAT officers on I-5 when they got off at Grand Avenue and headed north, Santa Ana authorities said. The officers in question ended up shooting Hallstrom to death, and wounding Mock.
Hallstrom left behind a daughter, Raven Starr Shine, who just turned 15 on February 12th. He had not seen her since she was two years old, and they finally met last year… after 14 years. Continue reading
February 1968, in Memphis Tennessee, 1,300 sanitation workers went on strike for job safety, better wages, benefits and union representation. Workers held signs reading “I AM A MAN.” Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. joined their fight, and on April 4th 1968, was assassinated in Memphis.
In memory of Dr. King, Orange County will join the nation and stand as one for human rights and dignity against those politicians who want to silence millions of working families today! “WE ARE ONE”
