Submitted by Luke on Mon, 01/26/2015 - 21:25

On the 26th of January, the weekly Monday vigil for those murdered by police featured Code Pink staging a mock arrest of Darren Wilson while speakers condemned the so-called Dept of Justice for refusing to recommend civil rights charges be filed against him. Darren Wilson is the killer cop who gunned down Michael Brown in Ferguson. Now he is among the world's most wanted fugitives, he can't even go to 7-11 to buy a pack of skittles without fearing arrest not by the government but by the people.

Hypocrisy reigns after drone crash on White House grounds

Submitted by Anonymous on Mon, 01/26/2015 - 20:47

On the 26th of January, mainstream media outlets reported that a hobbyist drone crashed somewhere on the White House grounds and was "self reported" by the hobbyist. The White House, of course is where all the orders come from for much larger CIA drones to bomb and kill people all over the world, yet they are whining about this tiny, unarmed hobbyist drone.

On the 24th of January, civil rights protesters showed up in Silver Spring, MD next to the outdoor skating rink by the Civic Center. Although this small group was entirely peaceful, heavily armored Montgomery County cops and three cop cars lurked about a block back watching. The music at the skating rink was gradually turned up in an attempt to override the rally speakers and their megaphone. The rally was very visible to all those using the skating rink, and educational in an unexpected place. It was followed by a short march through downtown Silver Spring.
