Racism on Repeat - Jordan Davis' Murder's Trial Begins

The cover of Jet magazine shows
the legitimate fear these crimes create.

NOTE: I apologize in advance for my aggressive voice in this piece, but sometimes you just can't help it.

It hasn't even been a full year since George Zimmerman was acquitted of the murder (yes, murder) of Trayvon Martin in 2012, who threaten Zimmerman with the deadly weapon of a sidewalk after he was stalked by Zimmerman. And yet we find ourselves witnessing another high profile trial of Stand Your Ground racism at work in Florida. Showing once again how this law is aimed to protect white shooters, not black victims.

In November of 2012, Jordan Davis, 17, was gunned down by a 47 year old man who apparently feared for his life, after the shooter initiated contact over the teenagers "disrespectful" behavior. Michael Dunn (the shooter) told Davis and his friends to turn down their loud music and after their refusal and some heated words, he opened fire on the car, killing Davis.

British Attack Anonymous... Using Anonymous' Tactics?

Yet another scandal has had the lid blown off by Edward Snowden with the revelation that the GCHQ used a DDoS attack on the hacktivist group Anonymous and LulzSec, originally reported on by NBC news. This time, the attack against Anonymous used the same tactics used by some Anonymous activist, that have since sent them to jail. But as a GCHQ spokesperson claimed, "all of GCHQ's work is carried out in accordance with a strict legal and policy framework." 

So, when Anonymous performs a DDoS, it's illegal. When GCHQ does it, it's completely legal.
