Another New DC Flag

By mike flugennockSaturday - November 9th, 2019Categories: Black Lives Matter, DC Local, liberty, media

Just last night here in Your Nation’s Capital, an off-duty cop shot and wounded a couple of people over in Southeast. Cripes, it’s as if they get even worse when they go off-duty; what’s the damn deal with that?

I don’t know about anybody else in this town, but I didn’t like living in the “Murder Capital” the first time around.

Cops and the Klan, Hand in Hand

From Sacramento to Newnan to Charlottesville it should be clear to one and all at this point that the police are there to “protect and serve” corporations and fascists. Now, as always — cops and the Klan go hand in hand.

Police vs. Cannabis: an Infographic

Ignore the anti-legalization shrieking and propaganda, and consider this little factoid: Police have murdered 765 people in the US this year – so far. Meanwhile, absolutely 0 – count ’em, ZERO – people worldwide have died as a direct result of smoking cannabis through all of recorded history.

That’s right, smoking cannabis will not kill you – unless you do it in front of a moving bus. See you in DC on September 24!

Broken Windows

By mike flugennockTuesday - August 16th, 2016Categories: Black Lives Matter, liberty, media

Just a couple of nights ago, yet another black youth was killed by police in America — this time in Milwaukee, touching off a night of rioting which featured the burning of a gas station and the smashing of windows on businesses and cop cars. And as usual, White America and the Boss Media were getting their panties in a twist more about broken windows than human lives.

For those of you who’ve been living in caves since the 1990s, “Broken Windows” has been a policing institution gifted to us by the likes of Rudolph Giuliani in New York City. Basically a pretext for the establishment of paramilitary police occupations of the poorest — and blackest — areas, it was such a hit that “Broken Windows” opened up franchises in pretty much every city in the US, spreading its brand of harassment, profiling, intimidation and brutality.

After observing this form of right-wing “folk wisdom” in action for over twenty years, I can’t help but ask: whose windows are really being broken here?
