''Let every dirty, lousy tramp arm himself with a revolver or a knife, and lay in wait on the steps of the palaces of the rich and stab or shoot the owners as they come out. Let us kill them without mercy, and let it be a war of extermination.''

Martin Luther King Jr. was born 84 years ago today, 15th January, and the third Monday of January is an American public holiday to commemorate him. One of the greats....

Happy birthday to MLK Jr., one of the very, very few Americans who fill me with pride.

I know hundreds of people are dying everyday in Syria, but this is still very sad to see. Al Jazeera reporter being shot dead by a sniper:

So sad. Shitty to see him squirm for his life after being hit.

I don't understand how his channel can send him into the battle field with no protection whatsoever, not even a helmet!

Love the way that old bloke comes in at 1 00 min to give him one more whack

Austrian citizens had the chance to vote against keeping the compulsory military service today, and hey ho, they completely wasted this chance. Only about 40% voted for a new system. Smh.

Apparently two Chelsea fans sent to prison today for possessing smoke grenades at Swansea while terrorists and violent thugs so often walk free. Scumbag Liberal elite who dominate the judiciary.

Well, if you can get 6 months for stealing a water bottle, this sentence makes sense. Of course, you can swindle people out of millions and get nothing but a fat bonus so the system isn't exactly fair. (Big surprise I know)

If sentences were consistently tough across the board then it would be a slightly less bitter pill to swallow but they aren't. Anything to do with football gets a overreaction, but yes i agree a stupid amount of big business thief's remain free as well. And plus whilst the riot sentences appeared very tough in reality almost no one convicted will serve even half their sentence. It was a political ploy to give the impression of deterrent.

Sorry for bumping the thread up again, but if that feels unjust.. in Estonia you can get 2 years for killing a person and get out earlier for good behaviour.

Is Rafa planning a holiday there ?

Very cruel. Rafa might be a pin in our eye but I'd never wish death on somebody.
