The former Georgia prosecutor who shielded the killers of Ahmaud Arbery from arrest now faces charges of acting from personal prejudice. One of the killers had worked for her.

Assault on Extinction Rebellion protesters

samedi 4 septembre 2021 à 02:00

London thugs punched and bashed Extinction Rebellion protesters who had locked themselves to a bus. It sounds like the thugs broke some windows too.

The protest was nonviolent but mildly disruptive. I say "mildly" in comparison with the category 6 hurricanes, tornadoes, fire clouds and sea inundations that global heating will cause in England if Extinction Rebellion does not achieve its goal.

50,000 attended the Boardmasters festival in the UK, and 5,000 caught Covid-19.

Also, since people under 12 cannot be vaccinated, perhaps this must be limited to places and events where few children will go. Those that attract children may still have to be shut.

I don't suppose the right-wing fanatics are put off by the Taliban's intention to force their religion on others, or their repression of women.

It was recently announced that 1/7 of the children who catch Covid-19 have disability months later.
