Oh, here it is. – Deanne Choate, last words
It’s funny how the number of links is kind of seesawing back and forth right now, though I reckon the relative fullness of my week has a lot to do with that. A lot of that fullness this week was activism, but a good bit of it was…well, as LunchMoney Lewis says, I got bills. The video was provided by Brooke Magnanti, and the links above it by Nun Ya, Tushy Galore, Radley Balko, and Tim Cushing, in that order.
- A bit of an understatement.
- Cops murder couple in their sleep.
- Crime: poverty. Penalty: left to die in a cage.
- Cops murder naked woman for complying with their demands.
