Now they're trying to arrest me simply because I do not believe in gay rights and abortion. I had the cops called on me. A SWAT team showed up, and I'm now engaged in a shootout. My state has been the number one abortion and gay rights state in the entire country and I've been segregated against for my beliefs.
It's unbelievable that he gets to walk free. How does that make other gay men feel safe, knowing that he is allowed to freely roam the streets? The punishment seemed very generalized to a basic assault despite the fact that it felt very much like a hate crime.
Police in Washington, DC, have arrested an 18-year-old man as he ran towards the Capitol Building, home to the US Congress, armed with a loaded shotgun and extra ammunition. The suspect, identified as Carter Camacho from Smyrna in the state of Georgia, was wearing a tactical vest and gloves, and had additional ammunition along with the loaded shotgun, police said on Tuesday.
Thomas McKenna, 60, converted the weapons using a lathe and drill inside one of three caravans at a large traveller site in Buckles Lane, South Ockendon, Essex, Kingston Crown Court was told. Prosecutors said McKenna distributed the guns to a criminal network and sent messages urging others to "get yourself ready" and warning that "the time for protesting is over". The court heard the network included Faisal Razzaq, who was the getaway driver in the fatal shooting of PC Sharon Beshenivsky in Bradford in 2005.
Under Kristi Noem, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has gone on an explicitly fascist zag as it seeks to recruit 10,000 additional U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents. Robert Reich and others have detailed in recent weeks how ICE is now actively seeking to recruit extremist young men from gun shows, Ultimate Fight Club venues, rodeos, martial arts centers, and other haunts for men who tend to have a far right political vision.
The suspect also had two loaded magazines and no accessible ID. This looks like a situation where an individual wanted to do maximum damage and massacre law enforcement.
