Police had been called before. They knew he'd threatened to drink the victim's blood. No arrest. No removal. On November 9th, a man forced his gay roommate to kneel at knifepoint and recorded it on his phone. He now faces life in prison. The victim's name is not trending.

These campaigns against #harassment are now running in the #publictransport in #UK & #France. The difference couldn't be more striking.
A) 🇬🇧 calling a spade a spade. 🇫🇷 would rather go German than say the words "sexual offences" or god forbid, #hatecrime (for the 🇫🇷 readers it's #protectedcharacteristics incl. #race & #religion )
B) 🇬🇧 suggests direct intervention if it is safe & gives ideas how to do so. 🇫🇷 is tapping into the very 🇫🇷 spirit of (cowardly) denunciation & no tall poppy. -

Trump’s #DOJ and the #EpsteinClass attacking the #SPLC just goes to show how far they will go to protect white men who hurt people.
The charges are based on bad-faith characterizations of payments SPLC made to informants in extremist groups like the Ku Klux Klan. Trump’s DOJ is attempting to argue these payments counted as financial support. In reality, the SPLC’s work helped dismantle some of the country’s most prominent white supremacist groups.
It’s like Abandoned Victorian Doll Haunted by Unrepentant Nazis Stephen Miller just wasn’t getting quite the hardon from abusing Brown folks like he used to, time to step up the terror on social justice folks.
As imagined, legal scholars, ethicists, and anyone with common sense is decrying this as obscene.

A former NC law enforcement officer was arrested with a handgun & 200+ rounds of ammo at a Florida hotel — allegedly headed to commit a racially motivated mass shooting at a major Louisiana festival. Christopher Gillum, who is white, had allegedly expressed explicit threats to harm Black people. His own family reported him missing and tipped off police. Jazz Fest draws 460,000+ attendees. A tragedy was potentially averted — but the threat exposes an urgent and ongoing crisis of racially motivated violence in America. Stay informed.

#FBI Dir #KashPatel said last year that the agency was severing its relationship with the #SPLC, which had long provided law enforcement with research on #HateCrime & domestic #extremism. Patel said the SPLC had been turned into a “partisan smear machine,” & accused it of defaming “mainstream Americans” with its “hate map” that documents alleged anti-government & hate groups inside the US.

Suspected 🤡
"Two masked men threw two #firebombs and a brick at a #London #synagogue on predawn Wednesday morning, in what investigators are treating as a suspected #antisemitic #hatecrime.
Neither bottle ignited, and no damage was caused to the #Finchley #Reform Synagogue, according to the Metropolitan Police and Community Security Trust. Finchley Reform Synagogue leadership and Finchley MP Sarah Sackman said on social media that nobody was harmed in the incident.
No arrests had been made by Wednesday evening, and the Met appealed to locals for information and video surveillance footage that could aid officers in their investigation. Specialists from Counter #Terrorism Police in London are reportedly supporting the investigation."

“Violence at a protest is never acceptable. The attempt to use an explosive device & hurt others is not only criminal, it is reprehensible & the antithesis of who we are,” the mayor said.
The mayor & his wife are safe, & #Mamdani has been in contact with Tisch, said press secretary Joe Calvello.
The mayor thanked the men & women of the NYPD for their bravery & quick action.
-
…In total, 6 people were arrested: the 2 responsible for the devices, the person who deployed pepper spray & 3 others for disorderly conduct & obstructing traffic, Tisch said.
#Mamdani on Sunday called the Lang-organized protest “rooted in bigotry & racism,” saying, “Such hate has no place in New York City.” But he said what followed was “even more disturbing.”
-
About 20 minutes later, an 18-year-old alleged counterprotester “lit & threw an ignited device toward the protest area,” which landed on a crosswalk, Tisch said.
“Witnesses reported seeing flames & smoke as it traveled through the air before it struck a barrier & extinguished itself a few feet from police officers,” she added.
-
“The NYPD Bomb Squad has conducted a preliminary analysis of a device that was ignited & deployed at a protest yesterday & has determined that it is not a hoax device or a smoke bomb,” Commissioner Jessica S. Tisch said in a post on X. “It is, in fact, an improvised explosive device that could have caused serious injury or death.”
Analysis of a second device recovered at the scene is ongoing. No injuries were reported.
-
A device ignited & hurled at #GracieMansion during a clash between opposing protest groups Saturday was an #IED capable of causing “serious injury or death,” the NYPD said Sunday.
The incident unfolded during the #Islamic holy month of #Ramadan outside the home of New York City’s first #Muslim mayor, Zohran #Mamdani, & his wife Rama Duwaji.

Can't catch a break these days, eh? 👀
"Police have charged a man after a car was used to ram the gates of a #synagogue in #Brisbane.
Officers say the man was driving a Toyota Hilux utility when he knocked down the gates of the property in Margaret Street in Brisbane’s #CBD shortly after 7pm on Friday.
The driver fled the scene before being taken into custody a short time later.
No one was injured during the incident.
A 32-year-old #Sunnybank man was expected to appear before the Brisbane magistrates court on Saturday. He has been charged with wilful damage, serious vilification or #hatecrime, dangerous operation of a vehicle, and drug possession offences."

Hit and run motorists, pedestrians and the justice system
"Sentence extended but no jail for NT hit-and-run driver Jake Danby who called victims ‘oxygen thieves’. In June 2024, Jake Danby hit two Aboriginal men with his car on a Darwin street, killing one and injuring the other."
The "driver had bragged in text messages that the man he killed was an “oxygen thief” and he would not go to jail. He called it a “two for one combo” and texted it was “pretty funny watching them roll around on the road after going over my bonnet”.
"He was handed a 12-month community corrections order, with five months in home detention." >>

London's #MetPol #MetropolitanPolice continues its heroic crackdown on the new ‘crime’ of supporting #intifada against #Israel’s war crimes and #genocide. In England, nonviolent opposition to illegality is now "#hateCrime".
#PeterTatchell was arrested today for carrying an 'illegal' #GlobaliseTheIntafada banner. The brave cops are keeping London safe from a 74yo man promoting #nonviolence and opposing the illegal occupation of the #WestBank and #Gaza.

The terrifying upsurge of hate crimes in India under the leadership of Modi is something we should not take lightly.
The religious and race based crime have increased significantly in the years since the "light" Hindutva government took control of the country.
The statistics raise concern over the path India is taking.

"A 24-year-old man who hit two Aboriginal pedestrians with his car and sped away, later bragging to his friends he'd run down an "oxygen thief", has been spared actual jail time."
"The NT Supreme Court heard that after the crash, which killed one Aboriginal man and injured another, Danby sent a series of "callous" text messages about his victims. In one message, Danby described the crash as a "two for one combo"."They learnt their lesson now, maybe next time they will use the crossing instead of walking out in front of cars, expecting me to stop like they own the place," the text message read...Danby will be detained in a house at Humpty Doo for the next five months." >>

Are 'ordinary mums and dads' making 'bad apples' ?
Caught up in tight-knit webs of hate“There was a range of grievances on display about perceived immigration rates on Sunday, but it was clear for many that the return to an imagined white Australia was a central theme...It’s not that white supremacy, which was present clearly yesterday, is something that the neo-Nazis in some evil, secretive fashion introduced into the political mainstream. It is something that has always been present in parts of the mainstream." >>

The #MarchForHumanity in early August saw ~300k people peacefully gather to march across the Sydney Harbour Bridge, a powerful statement of opposition to the #GazaGenocide (and of protest against the #ALP government's failure to #SanctionIsrael or even cease arms trade).
Imagine if, just hours after that march ended, one of the speakers who had helped lead the march then turned up with 50+ men of Middle Eastern heritage (faces masked in kufiyas) at a synagogue and assaulted a group of women, putting a couple in hospital.
It would be front page news for weeks. The government would probably proscribe the rally organisers as a designated terrorist organisation. More laws would be passed. There would be a (further) massive spike in #Islamophobic 'vigilante' violence.
Now stop imagining and compare with what actually happened on the weekend in Naarm/Melbourne.
Infamous neo-nazi Thomas Sewell, one of the speakers at the 'March for (White) Australia' marched with his henchmen at the head of the xenophobic gathering. Hours later, Sewell turned up at an Indigenous solidarity camp with 50+ intern goons and assaulted a group of mainly women, hospitalising two and wounding more.
Yet did a single mainstream media org put that story on their front page?

"Counterterrorism police will help investigate the attack, according to the Victorian government. About 40 men dressed in black, some armed with flagpoles and sticks and led by known Neo-Nazi Thomas Sewell, violently attacked Camp Sovereignty following Sunday's anti-immigration March for Australia rally.
