A reason why so many people got angry with the Trayvon Martin case; because racism and gun violence is not uncommon in America
An example is this story: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/0...n_1406312.html This man was a minority and he was a police officer, and four white police officers shot him 28 times. He lived, and is now going to prison for 40 years for attempted murder on the police officers (the white ones). They said he fired his weapon at them, and then they open fired on him. However, they never tested his hands for gun residue. His side of the story is he didn't use his gun that day. This is very suspicious. If he didn't use his gun and they wanted to pin things on him, of course they'd never test for gun residue on his hands.

Here is another link to a more informative and less sensational article related to this topic (found it by clicking 2 links from the article). I don't really think that christian lobbying groups are pro-bullying. From the look of it, they don't like having gay-rights group to provide anti-bullying training and talks in school. Many will disagree with their reasoning, but that's not quite fighting for the rights to bully. To me the article you posted is using a similar tactic that government use to label oppositions as child porn supporters when they try to pass some restrictive, internet-related bill. Not cool. |

Lost an icon of rock and roll this week - Jim Marshall, creator of the Marshall Amplifier.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/entert...OyS_story.html Jim Marshall, a British music store owner who influenced the raucous sound and chest-thumping volume of rock-and-roll with his Marshall amplifiers, the stage hardware of choice for guitarists Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton and Slash, died April 5 at a hospice in London. He was 88.

Sure, tax evasion went on at every level of society. But those who protest are the ones who are at the limit between making it through the month or not, and who, with the austerity measures, will fall. Plus, it really was the government job's curtail that, just like it's its job to put away criminals. Sure, it'd be great if people just choose not to commit crimes, but that isn't going to happen. Especially when you have no police. Also, they feel that the measures the government are taking target the ones who can't defend themselves too much, as opposed to the guys who've got a lot of money and still refuse to pay taxes. Maybe they have, and figured "hey, we've got the most throwing arms". |

My impression is that the working people of Greece are being left with the bill while the largest asset owners (those darn 1%ers again) are getting away with no impact at all.
That's the main reason I sympathize with the protesters at all, since it was the Big Boys that set a lot of the conditions for the mess in the first place.
