Irvine 11:

Ten Muslim students found guilty of conspiring to disrupt -– and then disrupting –- a speech at UC Irvine by Israel’s ambassador were sentenced Friday afternoon to three years informal probation…

…Prosecutors contended the students broke the law by organizing in emails and meetings to disrupt Oren’s speech. Defense attorneys argued that a guilty verdict in the case would stifle student activism at colleges nationwide. They likened their clients actions to the civil disobedience of Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks and Cesar Chavez.”

Identified: NYPD Officer Who Maced Peaceful Protesters

A photographer has identified the cruel and cowardly NYPD supervisor who point blank maced a penned in group of young women and then slinked away Saturday at the Occupy Wall Street protests:

Deputy Inspector Anthony V. Bologna of the NYPD Patrol Borough Manhattan South.

TAKE ACTION
If you think Deputy Inspector Bologna should be fired and prosecuted for his abuse of power, file an on-line complaint:

• Mayor Michael Bloomberg: http://www.nyc.gov/html/mail/html/mayor.html
• and NYPD Commissioner Raymond W. Kelly: http://www.nyc.gov/html/mail/html/mailnypd.html
• and the NYC Civilian Complaint Review Board: https://www.nyc.gov/html/ccrb/html/complaint.html

Bologna? this better not be a trick

looks like he’s been violent before

Meanwhile, billions of your tax dollars subsidize illegal Israeli apartheid colonies.

BRB not thinking very hard about my stupid opinions

BRB making stupid comparisons that don’t actually make any sense

BRB showing people why my job is cartoonist not lawmaker

So, in your opinion, what is the difference between killing innocent people in the name of militarism and conquest and killing them in the name of terrorism?

I’d love for you to show me how not agreeing with killing innocents is a stupid opinion.
