British Doctors See Over 100 Cases of FGM Every Week

Although it is not a British tradition, Britain has had a law against female genital mutilation for over thirty years.  Nevertheless, health authorities recorded over 5,700 cases in just one year.  The parents and their children do not perceive this as abuse, and curiously, neither does the law, as no convictions have been brought.

Cop-Killing Cartoon Kosher

Facebook has decided that an image of a masked man slitting the throat of a police officer with the message "BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY" does not at all violate their Community Standards.

Blacks Not Systematically Murdered By Police

This does not mean that the police never unjustly kill Black people or that any particular anecdote is false. But it does mean that we can not infer from any anecdote the sort of generalized narratives which BLM types are prone to pushing.

Don't Aggravate the Agitators

San Jose police showed admirable restraint by not intervening when those protesting a Trump rally became violent--throwing punches, eggs, drawing blood by swinging a bag of rocks, and stealing and burning hats.  It was good of them to do nothing, because it could have incited more violence.  It could have, but it didn't, when they eventually started making arrests after ninety minutes of violent protest had tuckered out the terrorists.  Donald Trump must take responsibility for this violence, because law enforcement sure won't!

PM Bumps MP

Justin Trudeau, the proud feminist prime minister who touted his historic gender-balanced cabinet, is now in hot water for elbowing a woman in the House of Commons.

"I am ashamed to be a witness to the person who holds the highest position in our country do such an act," said NDP MP Nikki Ashton. "I want to say that for all of us who witnessed this, this was deeply traumatic, what I will say, if we apply a gendered lens, it is very important that young women in this space feel safe to come here and work here."

The prime minister has repeatedly apologised for accidentally bumping a lady while "manhandling" a man.

"I want to take the opportunity... to be able to express directly to [Brosseau] my apologies for my behaviour and my actions, unreservedly. The fact is in this situation, where I saw... I noticed that the whip opposite was being impeded in his progress, I took it upon myself to go and assist him forward, which I can now see was unadvisable as a course of actions that resulted in physical contact in this House that we can all accept was unacceptable," because it's 2016.

Sticks and Stones and Words

The Halifax Regional School Board continues to deny and obfuscate complications surrounding the integration of refugee children, while feminists and anti-bullying advocates continue their silence.  Parents want support, leftists call them racist--while the school hears, sees, and speaks no evil.

Homan Square Not On The Level

Chicago's secret interrogation center was so secret that other Chicago police officers knew of less than 4% of the arrests held there.

Stockholm Syndrome in Norway

Norwegian politician Karsten Nordal Hauken feels guilt and responsibility over the deportation of the Somali who brutally raped him.

Problems are Problematic

Halifax's Chronicle Herald is apologising profusely for reporting that a refugee boy choked a little girl with a chain while yelling, "Muslims rule the world."  The prostrate newspaper admits that using the word "brutality" in association with a definable cultural group is "problematic"--at least to a totalitarian ideology that depends on the endemic equivocation between unfair discrimination and the sort of discrimination necessary for logical discernment.

Neo-Nazi demo sparks massive counter rallies

The right-wing demonstration ended peacefully about 4:00pm local time (3:00pm GMT). However, the clashes between police and counter-protesters continued. About 5:00pm local time (4:00pm GMT), police had to disperse the crowd of demonstrators at the crossing between Karl Liebknecht and Kurt Eisner streets “actively using water cannons, tear gas and pepper spray.” Many police officers as well as many protesters were injured in the incident, Leipziger Folkerszeitung reports.

Mentally ill 16 times more likely to be killed by cops

“By dismantling the mental illness treatment system, we have turned mental health crisis from a medical issue into a police matter,” Snook said. “This is patently unfair, illogical and is proving harmful both to the individual in desperate need of care and the officer who is forced to respond.”

Eyes Wide Open at the Protest

Few observers outside of the protesters’ inner circle will deny the horror of the worst bits of their behavior and speech. Their march through the library was an intentional exercise in every disgraceful behavior they claim to endure themselves, from insults and physical force, to racial barbs tossed out with disgust. But in the view of many sympathetic commentators, their brutal tactics could never overshadow the basic justice of their cause. For seemingly every overzealous protest, you can find a thinkpiece on the web that argues just this point.

Police State Stories by “The Onion” that Could Very Well Be True

"Individuals in every country on earth voiced their frustration that, in spite of generations of mistreatment, neglect, and abuse they have suffered at the hands of those in positions of authority, they continue to allow control over the world’s governments, businesses, and virtually every other type of organization and social group to fall to the most megalomaniacal pricks among them."

So What Did The Thug Brigade Expect?

"The difference with the cops is that they invariably cover up for each other, their unions invariably back up those who have committed outrageous and illegal acts and when confronted with their behavior the invariable response is to whine and cry about how dangerous their job is, as if this somehow presents justification for wanton and egregious violations of everyone's rights up to and including imprisoning under false pretense or even murdering anyone they want."

Police Seize 10 Children From ‘Off-Grid’ Homeschool Family

"Friends reported no concerns about how the children were being treated by the parents, who follow an educational model called 'unschooling' where the children decide their own curriculum based on the subjects that interest them and what their strengths are."

"Let’s be very clear about this – Joe and Nicole had done nothing to violate the law whatsoever.  All of their kids were happy, healthy and very intelligent.  But because the control freaks running things in Kentucky got wind of their 'off the grid lifestyle', they have now had all of their children unlawfully abducted from them."

Who’s Crazy Now? American Psychological Association Supported Torture “At Every Critical Juncture”

"The involvement of health professionals in the Bush-era interrogation program was significant because it enabled the Justice Department to argue in secret opinions that the program was legal and did not constitute torture, since the interrogations were being monitored by health professionals to make sure they were safe."

Night of horror at Ben Gurion airport for two French music students

"Every year, at Ben Gurion airport, numerous visitors from a variety of origins are treated similarly. Their most elementary human rights are flouted: violation of intimacy, psychological torture, dehumanization, racism, theft, trauma. Few of them present a real danger to Israel. In this way, Israel interferes with the smooth development of a great number of humanitarian, cultural, and other projects. At present, nothing is done about this. What happens at that border is unknown to all."

American Police Killed More People in March Than UK Cops Have Since 1900

"The White House Task Force on 21st Century Policing issued a report last month recommending that the police focus on tactics that would 'de-escalate' a situation to make it less likely that someone would end up getting shot and killed."

7 Ways the Matrix Coerces Public Consent for Torture

"It wouldn’t be entirely fair to say that most Americans approve of torture, but that doesn’t matter much, because it is fair to say that the majority of Americans are so heavily entranced in their own immediate affairs, and so heavily sedated, poisoned, intoxicated and entertained that they are powerless to confront the reality of state sponsored oppression."
