  • The world needs to take a good hard look at Israel and realize they are repeating history.

    I struggle to remember which series it was exactly (obviously prior to 2004). This is a memory I have etched in. My World History teacher in 10th grade gave an overview of the entire year’s curriculum on the first day. She had the class watch a large portion of what I believe was the last episode of Mobile Suit Gundam Wing (possibly it was Victory Gundam; I only watched Fighter G Gundam). By the end she made it very clear that history repeats. That was the theme of her curriculum for the whole school year.

    Right now we are seeing history repeat. This time it is the formerly oppressed committing the crimes against humanity and being aided by the rest of the globe. What did Palestine ever do to Israel except seek statehood? Why can’t we leave them alone?

    On an unrelated note, that teacher was awesome. I remember the week leading into the lesson on World War I, they staged incidents where select students would pretend to misbehave and not be punished in any way by the teacher. These were elaborate scenes of shouting. The lesson you might ask? Secret alliances.











  • In January, Stewart received a commendation from the department for responding to “issues related to the houseless population” with “compassion and professionalism toward everyone.” As the Courier Journal first reported, Stewart is facing a 20-day unpaid suspension for helping to cover up a subordinate’s use of force against a man likely experiencing homelessness last year — a suspension he is now appealing.

    What the fuck? They praised the dude for racking up citations. Look, if one person is getting a majority of the citations, clearly the system is flawed to some degree. But they later found he was covering an incident against a homeless person. Talk about flip-flopping.



  • I’m sorry, but repeating the words associated with an actual murder, but not saying “I am going to kill you” is a bit of a stretch to claim terrorism.

    Here is the definition of domestic terrorism from the FBI’s website: “Violent, criminal acts committed by individuals and/or groups to further ideological goals stemming from domestic influences, such as those of a political, religious, social, racial, or environmental nature.”

    What about this incident is violent?

    EDIT: Just to be clear, I am in no way defending these people. I just think the terrorism charge is overdoing it. Sure, a threat, but terrorism?
