Pathetic Weakling, Hold Your Camera Steady!
So Much For Democracy
And of course protestors are jailed. Again I remind America: A lack of First Amendment rights leads to the use of pesky Second Amendment rights.Protestors disrupted a chamber proceeding after North Carolina House Republicans enacted legislation that erodes some powers of several statewide offices newly-elected Democrats are slated to hold next month.

I've Been Telling You
They're Killing Us
I was all set to publish a normal daily report today when I came across two bits of news: Idaho Republicans are back in federal court fighting for the right to deny women life-saving abortions, and South Carolina lawmakers have reintroduced legislation to make abortion punishable by the death penalty. Considering this comes at the same time that politicians are disbanding or tampering with maternal mortality committees in order to cover up the fact that their bans kill women, it seemed like the right moment to take a step back and acknowledge how absolutely fucking crazy this is.
They’re killing us, and we’re meant to behave as if it’s business as usual.
Anti-abortion politicians and activists have demonstrated again and again that they believe women’s lives are expendable—worthless, really, if not for our reproductive ability. Yet we’re expected to sit here and react to that violence as if it’s simply politics. As if it’s perfectly fine that our suffering and deaths are being debated in statehouses and courtrooms as if we’re not human beings, but thought exercises and legal arguments.

Crime Story
Stupid woman seems to have started the whole thing as well as been an accessory, why does she get off so easily? Give her 20 yrs. She won't cause more trouble when she's out.A 44-year-old woman pleaded guilty Monday and was immediately sentenced to 200 hours of community service for helping her friend get away from the scene of a fatal stabbing in a Laguna Niguel bar.Elizabeth Anne Thornburg pleaded guilty to a felony count of being an accessory after the fact. She accepted a plea deal from Orange County Superior Court Judge Andre Manssourian, according to court records.
Thornburg was placed on two years of formal probation and ordered to perform the community service at a location “focused on racial sensitivity,” according to court records.
Co-defendant Craig Matthew Tanber was sentenced in February 2020 to 56 years to life in prison for killing 22-year-old Shayan Mazroei at Patsy’s Irish Pub Sept. 6, 2015.
The deadly conflict with Mazroei started when Thornburg got into a dispute with the victim. Mazroei had been playing billiards with friends when he stepped outside to smoke a cigarette and got into an argument with her, Senior Deputy District Attorney Mark Birney said in Tanber’s trial.
Thornburg shared “her views of Persians and of people from the Middle East” with Mazroei and spit at him, Birney said.
Mazroei, in turn, “spit on her three or four times” as he walked back into the bar, prompting Thornburg to chase him, the prosecutor said.
Mazroei appealed to bar security guard Mark Fillingham for help as an “upset and enraged” Thornburg chased him around the pool table, Birney said.
Fillingham told Thornburg to leave the bar as Tanber exited the bathroom, Birney said. Just after midnight, Fillingham told the couple “they’re not coming back into the bar,” according to the prosecutor, who said two bar patrons saw Tanber “ranting” about “having a knife and wanting to stab someone.”
A bartender summoned Fillingham for help with another issue, leaving Tanber unattended at the door, according to Birney, who said the defendant opened the door and yelled “`You!’ as he motions to Shayan.”
Mazroei “casually” walked over to the door and Tanber struck him “with a very strong left-hand punch” to the face, then plunged a knife into his heart and left shoulder blade, Birney said.
Mazroei “stumbled” back into the bar and collapsed, and was pronounced dead at a nearby hospital, he said.
Tanber ran away and deputies later found his windbreaker and the knife, he said.
In the moments before the stabbing, Tanber was heard by witnesses saying, “No one disrespects my girl,” he said.
Tanber was also heard referring to the victim with a slur against people of Middle Eastern descent and threatening to “teach him my way of correction from the penitentiary,” Birney said.
Thornburg was charged with being an accessory after the fact for picking up Tanber in the area and giving him a ride to her Mission Viejo home.
Tanber was free on parole at the time he killed Mazroei. He had been charged with murder in the April 4, 2004, beating death of 26-year-old Cory Lamons in Huntington Beach, but struck a plea deal with prosecutors after a mistrial was declared when an alternate juror Googled a co-defendant and shared the information with other panelists.
Tanber pleaded guilty Feb. 2, 2007, to voluntary manslaughter and admitted a sentencing enhancement for committing the crime to benefit a street gang, according to court records. He also pleaded guilty to dissuading a witness by force, street terrorism and assault with a deadly weapon or force likely to produce great bodily injury, and was sentenced to 13 years in prison.

Can't bring myself to post leech images. |
Well then, most "modern" translations are a motherfucking lie if they don't allow for justified, righteous killing in self-defense, or for your tribe, or because you're a police ossifer. I dare all of you to stop your filthy hypocrisy for just five fucking minutes. Can't do it, can you?According to the Ten Commandments, the correct phrase is "Thou shalt not murder", not "Thou shalt not kill" - meaning the commandment refers to unlawful killing, not all forms of taking a life; most modern translations use "murder" rather than "kill" to clarify this distinction.

None Dare Call It Genocide
Free speech crises loom with crackdown on Israel criticism
The incoming Trump team appears poised to take a hardline and Congress isn't far behind. And it's not just on college campuses.
Have a wonderful Xmas, y'all!!The hour-long meeting was framed as a discussion about antisemitism, but no one present attempted to differentiate between prejudice against Jews and criticism of the Israeli government and its actions. Scalise also slammed Jewish students who criticize Israel, asserting that they “just feel guilty that they’re alive.”Despite Scalise’s accusations of Democratic apathy, and while the harshest rhetoric against universities has come from Republicans, crackdowns on criticism of Israel remain a bipartisan status quo in Washington. In the last year, lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have pushed for punishment of pro-Palestinian voices and protesters.
