Ipsos custodes. Abolish the police.

I totally understand why scott has said that this is the first and last time he is going to talk about this. It’s gut-wrenching; and it’s also very important.

Many people are worried because of a sudden huge drop in Bitcoin prices on MtGox. That sucks, because so many people have relied on MtGox, but what’s happening is not a general crash in Bitcoin prices. Bitpay (which is overwhelmingly the most relevant for those of you who have Bitcoins and intend to spend them on real goods and services) is currently trading at US$ 636.80 / BTC. Bitstamp is at $642. BTC-e is at $626. Bitfinex is at $640. BTC on MtGox is in the crapper at ~ $315. Compare: http://ift.tt/1bYAm2k http://ift.tt/1bYAkHY http://ift.tt/1bev1sB The issue here is not that Bitcoin is crashing, and it’s not that nobody wants to use BTC. It’s not, and they still do.The issue is that right now nobody wants to use MtGox.

“In a sequence caught on surveillance video, two of the guards had pushed down hard on Messier’s back as he sat in handcuffs and leg irons on the bed, forcing his chest toward his knees. The tactic, sometimes called “suitcasing,” is banned in Massachusetts prisons because it can cause suffocation, especially for those like Joshua Messier, who had grown overweight from taking antipsychotic medications. A state medical examiner called Messier’s death a homicide, concluding that his heart stopped during the guards’ effort to strap him down. The autopsy also found injuries consistent with a beating, including internal bleeding on Messier’s brain, and blunt force injuries to his neck, torso, arms, and legs. Yet, nearly five years after his death, no one at Bridgewater State Hospital has been prosecuted or even punished, and all but one of the guards still works for the Department of Correction. Officially, the department maintains that no excessive force was used and that everything the guards and nurses did that night was ‘done in accordance with standard procedure.'” What does that tell you about the domming standard procedure? Abolish prisons. Abolish coercive psychiatry.

Seriously, there is nothing worth celebrating about Presidents. Frag those dudes. #APAB

No government programs accurately track the number of people shot by the police. So we’ll have to do it instead. Abolish the police.

You people are my heroes. Abolish the police.

Snitch for a living. Also, he likes to threaten the children of people who have never done a thing to harm him or anyone else. Abolish the police.
