Eighth Grader Killed by Police Was ‘Armed’ with a Pellet Gun

Nothing like a horrible story about police shooting and killing an armed eighth-grader in a middle-school hallway to kick off the new year! Nothing like it, except... a horrible story about police shooting and killing an eighth grader armed with a pellet gun in his middle-school hallway...  Read @:  Gawker

Attract Government Spies By Tweeting These Words

Hardcore Bishop Leads OWS Occupation of Church-Owned Land

Here's retired Bishop/Occupy Wall Streeter George Packard ascending a ladder that takes him not to a higher spiritual level but to a vacant patch of land owned by Trinity Church. Occupiers want to convert Trinity's property into their next Zuccotti-like encampment—a plan that the church opposes because cleanliness is next to godliness, with emptiness not far behind...  Read more:  Gawker

Trillion-Dollar Bank Is No Longer Amused By Occupy Wall Street

BNY Mellon is the investment bank that used Occupy Wall Street in a hilarious gag at a financial comedy (?) night last month. Bet they cackled all the way to the courthouse in Pittsburgh, where they filed a lawsuit to evict Occupy Pittsburgh from the park they've been camping out in for the past two weeks....

Idiot SWAT Team Tried to Catch Guy Who Was Already in Prison

After collecting tips from (drunk? bath salts-addled?) witnesses and obtaining a warrant, a Santa Maria, California SWAT team stormtroopered the home of Hope and Javier Bravo Sr. in search of their son, Javier Bravo Jr. But he was already incarcerated. Which seems like something they should have known!...

Occupy Finally Gets Its Radiohead Concert, Sorta

Back in September, the supposed Radiohead concert at Occupy Wall Street turned out to be a big old hoax. But Radiohead's Thom Yorke did perform at a secret show with fellow Brits Massive Attack and UNKLE for Occupy London protesters in the basement of a bank yesterday...  Read more:   Gawker

Wall Streeters in Danger of Falling Into the Bottom 99%

The writing, so to speak, was on the wall, and now, it seems, what we all feared most shall, in fact, come to pass: our brothers and sisters on Wall Street—from the 18th floor to the 80th floor, from the fixed income desk to the investment banking division, from Goldman Sachs to Lehman... no, Lehman is dead... to WaMu... no, I mean, you know what we mean...  Read more:   Gawker

All This Botched SWAT Team Raid Achieved Was a Man’s Death

This video shows members of the Pima County Sheriff's Department SWAT Team executing a search warrant at the Tucson, Arizona home of Jose Guerena Ortiz: an Iraq War veteran and young father whom they'd suspected belonged to a family-run drug trafficking ring. It captures perfectly how the drug war has been tremendous failure...  Read and watch video:   Gawker

UC Davis Will Graciously Cover Medical Expenses For Students It Pepper Sprayed

Eleven of the students who were pepper-sprayed in the face during last weekend's notable UC Davis meme were treated for the effects, but now UC Davis says they're paying all medical costs. Very considerate!

UC Davis Students’ Eerie, Powerful Protest Against Pepper-Spray Chancellor

After video of UC Davis police officer Lt. John Pike's shockingly nonchalant use of pepper spray against peaceful, passive protestors went viral yesterday, chancellor Linda Katehi scheduled a press conference for the afternoon. Students were refused entry and began to chant and protest outside the building; Katehi refused to leave...
