Wiki notes in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sl%C3%A1n_Abhaile that the pic also is a reference to the iconic Falkands War-era photo The Yomper.

A police commander in Iran criticized television shows and films that show scenes of families eating chicken. Why? Because he is afraid that it will inspire people to kill the rich, literally.

Thanks, sanctions. Really effective.

Chicken is a huge part of Iranian food culture. Food prices have been exploding. And it's Ramadan, when food is most important. Here's a video of people from Alvand storming a government chicken distribution center https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-tgeZD5plg

It's like the sanctions are outsourcing Depression-era inequality.

What in the gently caress are they talking about in that thread, then? With no discussion of gun control it can't be much more than repeats of "well a terrible thing sure happened in Colorado today." Contributing:

A quick skim of the 3 pages around where I've read up to; "He played guitar hero, vidya games cause violence" "why don't we know what flavour of nutter he is yet" "I don't want to know why he did it, it validates him" Nothing of value.

ekuNNN, you've inspired me to tell this story again.  This is Hannie Schaft. She's a receiver of the Dutch Cross of Resistance, of which only 95 where awarded, and the American Medal of Freedom. She received these for her actions during occupation in WW2. Studying law at the time of the invasion, she refused the loyalty oath the Germans required of all students, and joined the communist resistance. This is where she got her nickname "the girl with the red hair", which became the title of a biography about her, which later got a film adaption.  During her time in the resistance, she took part in multiple attacks on Germans, collaborators and traitors together with Jan Bonekamp, Freddie Oversteegen and Truus Oversteegen.  She took part in attacks killing NSB-member (Dutch national-socialist party) Piet Faber, police commissioner and zealous resistance hunter W.M. Ragut, NSB-member and police officer Willem Zirkzee and hairdresser and Sicherheidsdient collaborator Ko Langendijk. The last of these two assassinations took place in March 1945, about 2 months before liberation. This is the reason the Germans hated her particularly, as these attacks were in their view senseless.  W.M. Ragut On March 21st she was arrested at a roadblock for carrying illegal literature and a weapon. At the time, the Dutch Interior Forces and the Germans had an agreement for the latter to no longer kill any women. However, on April 17th Hannie Schaft was taken into the dunes to be shot. After a first shot which grazed her, her last words were "I shoot better", after which she was killed by Dutch SS member Maarten Kuiper, who was also involved with the arrest of Anne Frank and may have been the informer for that raid. Kuiper was sentenced to death and executed in 1948. Hannie Schafts actions during the resistance, and particularly the attack on W.M. Ragut were also the inspiration for a novel, De Aanslag, which is a major Dutch literary work and also turned into a movie, which in turn got awarded an Oscar and Golden Globe.  On November 27, Hannie Schaft's remains were reburied with full military honours on Honourcemetary Bloemendaal in the presence of Queen Wilhelmina, princess and heir Juliana and Prince Bernhard (husband of the queen). She was awarded both the Medal of Freedom and the Cross of Resistance posthumously in 1946.     As a national hero, she is commemorated yearly with a public gathering at her grave. Especially the communist party would traditionally attend this gathering. With the cold war however, the communist party and Hannie Schaft became undesirable politically. In 1951, the Dutch government went as far as to deploy the police and the army, including 4 armoured cars, to form a blockade and prevent the commemoration.    Those who attempted to reach her grave ended up leaving their flowers and wreaths on market square in nearby Haarlem. The police removed them and send them to the garbage dump.  In 1982, when the hatred of communists had died down (as had the communist party) princess Juliana, then ex-queen, unveilled a statue of Hannie Schaft in a park in Haarlem.  The statue was sculpted by Truus Menger-Oversteegen, the same Truus Oversteegen who fought side by side with Hannie Schaft in the resistance, and who was faced with armoured cars aiming machine guns at her trying to attend the grave of a fallen friend and comrade in 1951.  After the war she regularly spoke in universities and high schools on the subjects of war, antisemitism, tolerance and indifference and became known as an artist using the last name of her husband Piet Menger, whom she met in the resistance. One of her sculptures is in the Resistance Museum in Gouda which is about women in the resistance, another in Rotterdam on the place where the fire that started as a result of German terrorbombing on May 14th 1940 to force the Netherlands to surrender finally stopped days later.   She also wrote a book in 1982 about her experiences in the war titled 'Not Then, Not Now, Not Ever'. It was translated into English in 1998 and in German in 2000.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zoZ8Lt45FhYquote:This video [No Sound] features footage of the April 1968 firebombing of two Frankfurt Department stores by Andreas Baader and his girlfriend Gudrun Ensslin and two others. The did their best to turn the resulting trial into a performance art experience.  Gudrun Ensslin and Andreas Baader, founders of the Red Army Faction, a leftist group who did quite a lot of kidnapping, blowing things up and bank robberies from the 70s to the late 90s.  Ulrike Meinhof, a journalist and the third founding member of the group. Meinhof wrote most of their political material. Meinhof was turned in to the police and committed suicide before the end of her trial. Suspicious suicide is a running theme in the RAF.  Ensslin and Baader on trial.  Baader and Ensslin with student activist Thorward Proll and RAF arsonist Horst Sohnlein.  The death masks of Gudrun Ensslin Andreas Baader and Jan-Carl Raspe, founding members of the Red Army Faction. Baader and Raspe (held in solitary confinement) supposedly managed to get hold of a gun and commit suicide by gunshot. Ensslin hung herself. The three all died on the same night presumably after making psychic contact. ContinuityNewTimes fucked around with this message at 03:51 on Jul 21, 2012 |
