    Wildfires hit residences, oil production, CAN

    Alberta is suffering from a rash of wildfires.

    Alberta has been doing its best to cause wildfires around the world by digging up the oil sands to sell tar sands oil. It brought these fires on itself.

    Applying the new Public Order Act, UK

    An "assistant commissioner" of the UK's somewhat-national thug department asserted that he felt no political pressure to arrest peaceful protesters at the king's coronation.

    If that is true, why, then, did he disregard their rights? My guess is that there was pressure and he is covering it up.

    Waiting for justice

    Ammar al-Baluchi is still in Guantanamo after 21 years. He is not allowed to tell us about how he was tortured, but what we know is horrific.

    Private "security" thug shoots homeless man

    A Walgreens private "security" thug shot and killed a homeless man, Banko Brown, whom he accused of stealing snacks.

    If we don't believe that people who can't afford to lawfully get food deserve to starve to death, we must conclude that they are morally entitled to take food from wherever there is plenty. We must also conclude that the store has no right to hire people to kill them for trying.

    A good society provides a way for poor people to get enough food without having to steal.

    Given what platform the district attorney ran on, we cannot trust her judgment, or her unsupported word, about whether the security guard had a justification for shooting. She must release the video. What use is a "security" camera if officials cover up what it recorded about a killing?
