big fat lie in the eye

.
At first I was happy about this coverage, but then came:

No one knows for sure what members of the camera crew got, since they were outside and are not speaking. But their work may show whether the shot in question was fired from outside.

...followed by the news that the police have the tape, the family's attorney only saw parts of it and does not have a copy.

Here is the setup for exonerating the guilty and prosecuting the victims. The story of 21st Century America.

At least this explains to me why they filed suit before Aiyana's body was cold, why their attorney was shooting his mouth off in a press conference so quickly. A big old hairy deal, getting as much on the record as possible, had to be made immediately or the police getting away with it was assured. As it is, I have to admit, there is a part of me hoping they tamper with this evidence and it finally causes America to get to her feet.

There will be a phony investigation which is inconclusive followed by a cash settlement, financed by taxpayers. The pig who shot her will be back on the job after a paid vacation.

I hate to think it, but, yes, that's the likely scenario.

I'm still hoping this ends up FINALLY turning the tide against that noise, though. It's SO horrifically FILTHY... and all my cells are squirming around wanting to UNDO this, to put a U turn in the barrel of that gun, to put lobotomy bombs in the TV crew's equipment... oh... all kinds of things....

Shit like this happens all the time. This one's news because of the TV cameras.

I know, I know. It's happening EVERY day, ALL over, but THIS one is extra huge because of the cameras, and the UTTERLY indefensibly OUTRAGEOUS murder of a sweet little girl. I find I am NEEDING it to stand for all of it, and going to take it hard if this doesn't somehow make the herd look up from their grazing.

The media downplays things like this. A brief mention, if that, and then forgotten.
If someone offs the murdering pig who killed Aiyana, *then* it'll get coverage - they'll treat it like a fucking tragedy.

You know, back in the day I probably would have agreed with you, but I think if that happens the media will IGNORE it. Probably not local media, but national media, not a peep. Because THIS constitutes what is now known as a "social cohesion risk" and THAT would cause riots in Detroit, if not everywhere.

... unless... unless of course they feel they are ready to go to war against us.

If a sniper took out a Detroit policeman and remained at large, I think network news would be all over it.

Yes. Much less inhibition to sensationalize on that... not quite the potential to incite riots... possibly dancing in the streets by now....

The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they are ignorant, it's just that they know so much that isn't so.
—Ronald Reagan

Some of us who have already begun to break the silence of the night have found that the calling to speak is often a vocation of agony, but we must speak. We must speak with all the humility that is appropriate to our limited vision, but we must speak.

We're all fucked. I'm fucked. You're fucked. The whole department is fucked. It's the biggest cock-up ever. We're all completely fucked.

Anyone calling Obama a leftist, liberal, or progressive needs to have the stupid beat out of them.

As for the Taliban ... their stated grievance is the same as Gen. Washington’s in our war with the British: If you want this war to end, get out of our country.
—Pat Buchanan

Obama-era drone warfare ... in general looks like Bush-era drone warfare on steroids.
—Scott Horton

There has to be altruism in the universe.
—Frank Drake

The morons in Washington are pushing the envelope of nuclear war. The insane drive for American hegemony threatens life on earth. The American people, by accepting the lies and deceptions of “their” government, are facilitating this outcome.
—Paul Craig Roberts

I am a child of the South. Janet Napolitano tells me I need to be afraid of people who are labeled white supremacists but I was raised around white supremacists. I am not afraid of white supremacists. I am concerned about my own government. The Patriot Act did not come from the white supremacists, it came from the White House and Congress. Citizens United did not come from white supremacists, it came from the Supreme Court.
—Cynthia McKinney

No one has to "marry" anyone else politically; no one has to embrace every tenet or belief that an anti-imperialist ally might hold. You simply have to say: "All of us, regardless of our other views, believe this truth to be self-evident: dismantling the empire will bring immediate and enormous benefits to our nation and to the world."
—Chris Floyd

The power of the people on top depends on the obedience of the people below.
—Howard Zinn

...the government only starts listening to its voters once the more corrupt option turns out to be untenable.

· One out of seven American homeowners will probably lose their homes by the end of 2010.

· Only 4.7 percent of distressed homeowners who enrolled in the modification plan have gotten any help.

· Out of Obama's $75 billion program, only $2.3 million has been spent—or 0.03 percent.

Obama's performance on the foreclosure crisis—along with unemployment, the biggest problem America faces—makes Bush's laissez faire approach to Hurricane Katrina look caring and loving in comparison. If ever there were a cause for impeachment, look no further.
—Ted Rall

As self-appointed champions of civilisation against barbarism, they fail to see that a certain barbarism is the flipside of civilisation itself, inseparable from its smooth operation. For every cathedral, a pit of bones; for every artistic masterpiece, human wretchedness and back-breaking toil.
—Terry Eagleton

commenting kaos, sidebar krap, quotes

Here at home and throughout the world people are fighting back against the forces of wealth, privilege, and militarism — some because they have no choice, others because they would choose no other course but the one that leads to peace and justice.
