Be true to your school

So, three undercover cops with a K9 unit…

Seriously folks, in what other news story is a person who is  punched once considered to have been “beaten”?

Personally, I support resistance against corporations and their co-opting of government (with the cooperation of their lackeys in elected office). I support large scale protests against what has become a corrupt system.

I’m not so sure I support permanent encampments of protestors.

On the other hand, the Hoovervilles of the 1930′s (and our own Nicklesville) proved their point.

The 42-year-old man stood just north of the Occupy camp holding a sign that read “Occupy Somewhere Else, Not My School,” according to police.

America today: shopping “equally as important” as Constitutionally protected assembly and speech

According the Seattle Police Department, exerising the rights thousands of Americans have died to protect is equally as important as a corporately contrived ritual of excess.

The warning to evil doers that breaking laws will not be tolerated is laughable, considering most of the evil in this country is carried out high above the streets in executive board room that the police will never enter.

NEWSFLASH! Pepper spray doesn’t hurt!

Pepper spray does not hurt, it “creates compliance”. The U.S.A. does not torture, it “intensely interrogates”. Pizza is not bread, cheese and tomato sauce, it’s a “vegetable”. Bank credit cards aren’t traps designed to suck as much cash out of your pocket as possible ion the form of interest and fees, they’re “smart money”. Freedom is slavery. War is peace. Ignorance is strength.

Orwell was right.

 

Charles J. Kelly, a former Baltimore Police Department lieutenant who wrote the department’s use of force guidelines, said pepper spray is a “compliance tool” that can be used on subjects who do not resist, and is preferable to simply lifting protesters.
“When you start picking up human bodies, you risk hurting them,” Kelly said.

Your government, protecting you from 74-year old widows…

…and the heinous really tiny moon rock black market.

 

“I have a real moral problem with what’s happened here in California,” Gutheinz said. “I’ve always taken the position that no one should own an Apollo-era moon rock. They belong to the people. But if we did such a poor job of safeguarding (lunar samples,) I cannot fault that person.”

via NASA ‘moon rock’ sting terrifies woman, 74 | Offbeat | Seattle News, Weather, Sports, Breaking News | KOMO News.

 

Setting up a sting to catch a septuagenarian who is trying to sell a sliver of moon rock smaller than a grain of rice is the equivalent of searching grandad’s diaper for explosives or checking the genitals of a 6-year old for hidden weapons before a flight.

Ours is a government out of control and doing terrible things to us in our name.

Karma don’t play that! No raping the “marijuana goddess”!

“During the struggle, (she was) able to grab a handful of Keewatinawin’s long black hair and (was) able to kick him in the groin…”

Oh hell yeah! Instant Karma, baby! “Two ache-rs” for trying to plant the goddess.

 

According to charging documents, Keewatinawin told police he was “a little high” and believed the woman was “a marijuana goddess” when he attacked her.
