Thugs handcuff child

lundi 18 décembre 2017 à 01:00

Thugs looking to arrest a middle-aged white woman encountered an 11-year-old black child, so they handcuffed her just in case she was the white woman in disguise.

US deportations

lundi 18 décembre 2017 à 01:00

People being deported by the US were kept shackled for 46 hours, in painful heat, and not allowed to use a toilet.

How can it be legitimate to deport people to Mogadishu anyway? It is a war zone.

Tracking drivers

lundi 18 décembre 2017 à 01:00

Insurance companies in Britain that monitor how a person drives also keep track of where.

I don't see any harm in monitoring a person's style of driving. However, any system that tracks where people go is a threat to democracy.

The fact that the UK tracks all car travel, through cameras on the street, does not make this new injustice any less grave. Britons must someday demand elimination of massive surveillance; the cameras should be modified so that they don't take notice of most cars, only those being sought for specific valid reasons. The existence of two independent systems for tracking people could be used to argue against any campaign to abolish either one of them.

If we want to end massive surveillance, we must fight against new system of surveillance.

In general, laws should prohibit the operation of systems that collect too much data about people.

Roy Moore on amendments

lundi 18 décembre 2017 à 01:00

Roy Moore advocated repeal of all the US constitutional amendments after the first 10. This would mean bringing back slavery and racist/sexist voting criteria.

It would also mean that the people would no longer vote on senators. I am sure Roy Moore would have preferred to let the Alabama state legislature choose him.

Saboteur of Education DeVos has completely stopped the practice of cancelling the debts of students defrauded by private colleges.

Do not under any circumstances enroll in a private college!
