As I scrolled through my Facebook news feed, I discovered the following artwork here, being shared by the page, “The Rule of Freedom,” and originally posted it to my own wall, along with commentary…
“What is the difference between throwing 500 babies into a fire and throwing fire from aeroplanes on 500 babies? There is none.” – Captain Philip S. Mumford, former British Officer in Iraq

Natalie M.: What’s going on in Russia?
“America was built on two monumental crimes: the genocide of the Native Americans and the enslavement of Africans. The tendency of official America is to memorialize other people’s crimes and to forget its own in order to seek a high moral ground as a pretext to ignore real issues.” – Mahmood Mamdani
Rayn: Imperialistic war criminals in the US are funding racist, extremist terrorists in the Ukraine, in an attempt to effect American-corporation-friendly “regime change” in the region. In other words, it’s “business as usual” for the sociopathic scum of the Earth…

The following correspondence originally took place upon the Facebook wall of my friend, Jonas A., after he shared artwork from here...
Jonas A.: Basic moves…make it count!!!
“If you ‘share’ this image, it may save dignity of at least one girl in this world. Kindly share this 🙂 This could save someone’s life. Please share it.”
Eric S.: You should kick the balls first.
Rayn: A better step five would be a Shoryuken to the grill-piece! 🙂
Jonas A.: haha…right!
Chava L.: Step one makes him look like a zombie ,so maybe instead she should cut off his head.
Steve C.: What happens is because most men do not want to hurt or strike a woman they raise their forearms to defend themselves from the womens repeated blows and this starts to really hurt so they try to grab the womens arms with both hands to stop the strikes and the women wins the game of chess by launching a massive head butt dropping the man to the ground. Game over.
Eric K.: dream on…A head-butt is actually a difficult move – i’ve had it tried against me – if you screw it up – and my attacker did – you leave your face very exposed to a couple of fists. I think next time the guy will try a different tactic.

Homeless Grandmother Arrested 59 Times for Sitting on Sidewalk:

(Tana Ganeva, AlterNet) Here’s an interesting use of public resources: as part of a decade-long effort to “clean up” Skid Row in Los Angeles (i.e. run the homeless out of the area to ease development), the city of LA has spent at least a quarter of a million dollars arresting, prosecuting and jailing just one homeless woman, 59-year-old Ann Moody, mostly for sitting on a public sidewalk.
Moody has been arrested 59 times in six years, reports the Los Angeles Times. She’s spent 15 months in jail since 2002. As the article points out, Moody has been arrested more than any other person in the entire city of Los Angeles.
The 59-year-old grandmother earned that distinction by flouting part of the municipal code that restricts sleeping, lying or sitting on a public sidewalk between 9pm and 6am, although she’s also been bagged for selling cigarettes. She explained her bad behavior to the Times: “We’re human beings, not to be pushed around like cattle,” she said. “We have a right to be stationary.”
My Commentary: Say “hello” to the city of Los Angeles’ PUBLIC ENEMY NUMBER ONE!
