Athens: Responsibility claim for arson on two police cars, spotted at an auto repair shop in the district of Goudi. And time is passing by, minutes are crowding alongside each other, and days are whistling carefree. Our thoughts slip from the dictatorships of watches and monotonous repetitions, seeking paths of transgression. Morning alarms ring loudly in our ears, identical figures scare us on the streets, our nightmares lurk… Dreams are interrupted by chases, screams of torture, and the last words of people who were executed or committed suicide; by the sighing of immigrant outcasts, the crying of small children, the secrets of imprisoned brothers and sisters.

The quiet night sleep in the metropolis, inside the dark bedrooms, beneath the bloodstained sheets, is merely hypocritical. How can anyone sink into their sleep, close their eyes and dream while at the same time the street shadows are under persecution? Minorities, a handful of mates among the multitudes, with hate and love glimmering in their eyes… Risks paid with years in prison. A walk through the city. Monday, November 19th, at dawn. Source.

Πολύ πρόσφατα, στην περιοχή της Πλ. Αμερικής μια συμμορία ναζιστών μαζί με μερικούς ντόπιους ρατσιστές επιχείρησαν να δημιουργήσουν καθεστώς φόβου και μισαλλοδοξίας σε βάρος των αφρικανών μεταναστών που ζουν στη γειτονιά. Αποκορύφωμα της δράσης τους αποτέλεσε το πογκρόμ που έκαναν την Τρίτη 25 Σεπτέμβρη με την προστασία αστυνομικών δυνάμεων, όπου έσπασαν τα γραφεία της τανζανικής κοινότητας και καταστήματα, ενώ επιτέθηκαν σε μετανάστες που ζουν στη γειτονιά και επιχείρησαν να τρομοκρατήσουν μαθητές, παιδιά μεταναστών, μέσα στο σχολείο τους. Τις αμέσως επόμενες μέρες ακολούθησε σειρά αντιφασιστικών κινητοποιήσεων, με αποκορύφωμα την Παρασκευή 12 Οκτώβρη που πραγματοποιήθηκε στην Πλ. Μετά τα ρατσιστικά πογκρόμ στον Αγ. Loving-your-body.

Skinny. Young. Old. Lawyers: SPD hiding alleged beating video from public. SEATTLE -- Local lawyers say video of an alleged beating by a Seattle police officer is so explosive that if released, it would immediately go viral.

Lawyers: SPD hiding alleged beating video from public

They claim that is the reason Seattle police are keeping the video hidden from public view. As a result, they and their client are suing the department. Back in October, Leo Etherly was bruised and black-eyed. As for how he got that way, Seattle police dash cam video could tell that story. Except police won't allow Etherly to have a copy, and they won't allow Etherly's attorney to share his copy with the public. Here's how Etherly tells it: "I was motionless, and he (the officer) was still punching me and says something to the effect of, 'You effing idiot.'" Witness video shows Etherly's face after he is already handcuffed on the ground.

Store surveillance video indistinctly shows Etherly on the hood of a police cruiser. But the best video of Etherly's Oct. 6 arrest would be from the police officer's own dashboard camera. Dolan Champions Sainthood for Dorothy Day, Hero of Catholic Left. But Day has found a seemingly unlikely champion in New York’s conservative archbishop, Cardinal , who has breathed new life into an effort to declare the Brooklyn native a saint.

Dolan Champions Sainthood for Dorothy Day, Hero of Catholic Left

Cardinal Dolan has embraced her cause with striking zeal: speaking on the anniversaries of her birth and death, distributing Dorothy Day prayer cards to parishes and even buying roughly 100 copies of her biography to give out last year as Christmas gifts to civic officials including Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg. This month, at Cardinal Dolan’s recommendation, the voted unanimously to move forward with her canonization cause, even though, as some of the bishops noted, she had an abortion as a young woman and at one point flirted with joining the Communist Party. “I am convinced she is a saint for our time,” Cardinal Dolan said at the bishops’ meeting.
