“Carothers was convicted of 2nd-degree murder in 1999 and was charged with 2nd degree murder again in 2011 before pleading guilty to a lower charge, the Daily News Journal reported.” –
Think of the minor crimes and false accusations. There were several deaths of inmates shot by police trying to escape prison to avoid starvation.
Can we talk about the fact that they drowned?? That’s such an awful way to go, and some people in there didnt deserve anything like that! Imagine being left for dead over a fucking parking ticket or tax fraud
Also… consider… maybe that none of the people in there deserved that.
People who had been sentenced to be in prison fairly for things they entirely deserved to be in prison for still weren’t sentenced to being drowned or starved. That’s not how justice works.
Top tip: always keep your steel-lined panic room stocked with bottled water, tinned food and antibiotics at all times. You never know when gangsta rap-induced mayhem will bring civilisation crumbling down around our ears.
I don’t recall any of the other items from when we went through the Petersen House museum as a kid, but the bloodstained deathbed pillow on display made quite an impression.
Yet another antiRomani attack in Ukraine, this one on June 23, 2018. One Romani man, aged 24, died of stab wounds, while at least three more people were injured, including a 10-year-old boy.
AntiRomani racism is continuing to rise in Europe. This is what “Gypsy life” REALLY is. Please spread the word and try to donate to organizations like the ERRC, that actively try to help Romani communities in Europe. This is the fourth or fifth reported attack on Romani people in the last few months in Ukraine ALONE. Please spread the word and donate if you are able! If anyone has any other organizations besides ERRC, feel free to add them.
If people could spread info on this that would be amazing! We can’t let this continue.

Pittsburgh police shot a black 13 year old running away from them to death on Juneteenth

Pittsburgh police shot a black 13 year old running away from them to death on Juneteenth.
If it is not clear from the text, they shot him in the back at a distance and was no threat to the officers
I saw a blurb on the news this morning about an individual shot by police and I just assumed the rest of the details. How fucking sad is that. I’m ashamed of my town right now.
I feel like the police violence is escalating here. They beat Jordan Miles (also a teenager at the time
And finally murdered this child. His name was Antwan.
if you are in the pittsburgh area there’s a march at the courthouse downtown tomorrow at 12 pm. here’s a link to the event
to summarize:
-police were following the car antwon was a passenger in because it matched a description (note: antwon was 17 yrs old, not 13 like many of the reports say. There was a 13 yr old on scene, however).
-police eventually stopped the car & ordered the driver out/onto the ground. antwon & another passenger bolted
-police fired 3 rounds into his back. Although 2 guns were found in the car later, Rose was unarmed when he was killed
-the driver was later released without being arrested
-the name of the officer who killed antwon rose has not been released. What we do know is that he has been put on administrative leave, and he was involved in other local departments 7 years prior. However, he was sworn in the same night as he killed Antwon.
-there were no dash/body cams, but a witness took a video. Be warned, it is graphic by nature.
–here is the statement that the family of the victim released
The fact they feel it’s necessary to shoot when we run away instead of chasing us proves there’s a problem. And it’s not the in the training received before being sworn in it’s their character in general. They are literally giving badges to demons out here. Breaks my fucking heart.
He was 17
His 13 year old brother was in the car as well. Initial reports said he was 13. I’m sure you can understand how that could happen in the chaos that transpired right?
Jitneys were the precursor to Uber or Lyft. Imagine you and your brother get a Lyft home and the cops pull the driver over. Then shoot at you as you run away.
He was a poet, an avid skateboarder, and volunteer at local charities. Loved by family and friends.
There have been at least three protests. Currently one is shutting down a major highway. Pictures above are from earlier today
There will be another protest tomorrow. There are also several recordings and live feeds of the protests on FB
This is in my area. Looks like they’re now trying to do damage control by claiming he had an empty clip in his pocket and participated in a drive by earlier. Smh…
Update:
As you can see the media tried to spin a false narrative about Antwon having guns. And were exposed for lying by a news anchor today.
Ciora Thomas was arrested at the peaceful protest on 376 last night after police showed in riot gear. She was let go this morning but will have court costs.
Please boost this and donate if you can to help those arrested tonight
Thanks in advance
More pictures from the protests in Pittsburgh.
Tonight’s protest on 6/28/18 lasted for 7 hours.
The people marched down the streets chanting, singing and dancing for 7 hours.
Thank you to everyone who came out and put everything on the line for Antwon Rose Jr. And for justice
Antwon Rose was a freedom fighter and he taught me how to fight
So we gon’ fight all day and night until they get it right
What side are you on my people, what side are you on?

This attempt to justify killing Antwon is garbage. If he had been a hit man who had killed a hundred people, it would still be wrong to shoot him in the back while he was running away with no weapon in his possession.
It would still be murder. This is not a war between the police and black America. The rules of combat don’t apply to the police, they were in an American city, not a combat zone. You don’t get to shoot people who are running from you.
If the cops can’t be brought under control, take away their guns. I’m willing to bet that the number of people who die in police/citizen interactions would go down, not up. Give them tasers and billy clubs instead of guns, they can’t handle guns.
Just arm SWAT with guns and call them in for active shooter scenes. Regular patrol cops have proven they can’t be trusted with firearms.
“For too long Pol Pot and his gang have been an iconic horror show
in the west, stripped of the reasons why. And this extraordinary film, it has
to be said, adds little to the why. When Pol Pot died in his bed a few years
ago, I was asked by a features editor to write about him. I said I would, but
that the role of “civilized” governments in bringing him to power, sustaining
his movement and rejuvenating it was a critical component. He wasn’t interested.
The genocide in Cambodia did not begin on April 17 1975, “Year
Zero.” It began more than five years earlier when American bombers killed
an estimated 600,000 Cambodians. Phosphorous and cluster bombs, napalm and dump
bombs that left vast craters were dropped on a neutral country of peasant people
and straw huts. In one six-month period in 1973, more tons of American bombs
were dropped on Cambodia than were dropped on Japan during the second world
war: the equivalent of five Hiroshimas.
The regime of Richard Nixon and Henry
Kissinger did this, secretly and illegally. Unclassified CIA files leave little doubt that the bombing was
the catalyst for Pol Pot’s fanatics, who, before the inferno, had only minority
support. Now, a stricken people rallied to them. In Panh’s film, a torturer
refers to the bombing as his reason for joining “the maquis”: the Khmer Rouge.
What Nixon and Kissinger began, Pol Pot completed. And having been driven out
by the Vietnamese, who came from the wrong side of the cold war, the Khmer Rouge
were restored in Thailand by the Reagan administration, assisted by the Thatcher
government, who invented a “coalition” to provide the cover for America’s continuing
war against Vietnam. “
