That’s another way to overcome these sickly inhibitions, to make it look as if when we attack and destroy somebody we’re ally protecting and defending ourselves against major aggressors and monsters and so on. There has been a huge effort since the Vietnam war to reconstruct the...

The father stated that the Detroit Police first sent percussion grenades into the house, one of them hitting his daughter in the head. The aunt of the deceased also came on the air stating the same but added that the little girl caught on fire. Both said the Detroit Police busted in the door and discharged weapons.

wow, I’ll have to look into this more. When i read a first news report on it this morning it indicated that the alleged suspect in the earlier shooting of the 17 year old was taken into custody at the scene. Not that that in any way mitigates what happened here when they could have just waited the guy out if there was kids in the premises, but...

Running from the police is not a crime punishable by death in Canada. Yet this is the sentence 18-year-old Junior Alexander Manon received on the evening of May 5, 2010 when he ran from the police near York University in Toronto. And by looks of what became of the young Dominican teenager, it’s no surprise that youth like him...

Some white people tell me I see racism in everything. I used to think it was just a way to dismiss what I was saying. But even whites who are otherwise serious about the subject of racism say it, so it is not merely just a way to get me to shut up.
