Turkish police fire tear gas, water cannon at park protesters [photos, video]

http://twitter.com/#!/ReutersWorld/status/340475620226134017

A demonstration in a park in Istanbul, Turkey, escalated quickly as police moved in to clear out the protesters.

Reuters reports that tourists are among the hundred-plus injured:

Turkish police fired tear gas and water cannon on Friday at protesters occupying a park in central Istanbul, wounding scores including tourists in the harshest crackdown so far on days of anti-government unrest.

The protest at Gezi Park started late on Monday after developers tore up trees but has widened into a broader demonstration against Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan’s Islamist-rooted Justice and Development Party (AKP).

Friday’s violence erupted after a dawn police raid on demonstrators who had camped for days in the park in anger at plans to build a shopping mall. Clouds of tear gas rose around the area in Taksim Square, long a venue for political protest.

Tenth anniversary of Beslan school hostage crisis remembered in photos

http://twitter.com/#!/mchancecnn/status/506507174148071424

As President Obama stumbles to find a technique to deal with ISIS and Islamist extremists take over the U.S. embassy in Libya, lots of people are taking the time to consider the horrifying Beslan college siege, which Michelle Malkin during the time rightly labeled as Russia’s 9/11.

A decade ago today, Chechen jihadists stormed a school and took significantly more than 1,100 hostages. The siege lasted three days, and more than 300 eventually passed away in the massacre, including 186 younger students.

Many marked the anniversary of this assault by publishing pictures and other remembrances.

Sickos spread false rumor about Zimmerman juror’s name; Threats begin

http://twitter.com/#!/MarkNeJame/status/357101136349626368

Florida attorney and CNN legal analyst Mark NeJame awoke to the vicious, dangerous and false rumor that his wife was anonymous juror B37 on the Zimmerman jury. Colossally inept Twitter detectives spent the early hours of the morning spreading the “news” and passing around a photo of Josie NeJame.

http://twitter.com/#!/hieian/status/357085520519643137 http://twitter.com/#!/loflyinjett/status/357028270551740417 http://twitter.com/#!/vajenkin/status/357145491873611779 http://twitter.com/#!/art2u2/status/357131585352503296

Yeah, no. There’s no wild conspiracy. Mrs. NeJame is the mother of two young daughters and president of Runway to Hope, a charity that raises money to defeat pediatric cancer. She was 24 years old when she married Mr. NeJame ten years ago.

Juror B37 is reportedly a 50-something woman who works for a chiropractor. She has two adult children.

Mr. NeJame is keeping a sense of humor about the rumor as he attempts to set the record straight.

http://twitter.com/#!/MarkNeJame/status/357095934208905217 http://twitter.com/#!/MarkNeJame/status/357106032721395713 http://twitter.com/#!/MarkNeJame/status/357152824372633601

But the Twitter lynch mob has already threatened jurors and is wishing for the rape and murder of Juror B37. What do these thugs plan to do with the juror’s supposed identity? Nothing good:

She’d “never wish ill on someone’s children”; She just wants you to know exactly what they look like. No reason.

Best wishes for the safety of the NeJame family and the women who actually served on the Zimmerman jury.

Singer Erykah Badu: Louis Farrakhan is a ‘SuperHero,’ ‘beautiful, brave’

Louis Farakahn is a SuperHero. That's A beautiful brave being. #staywoke

— ErykahBadoula (@fatbellybella) April 17, 2013

Since when are racism and anti-Semitism beautiful or brave?

Last year, Badu suggested doing away with racial classifications:

‘ Race ‘ should be taken off of EVERY form. We are all Americans.E.badu

— ErykahBadoula (@fatbellybella) August 16, 2012

Criticism of the race card is just the sort of thing that would send “superhero” Farrakhan into uncontrollable fits of rage.

Color us disappointed.
