Update : Youth wounded by bullet in Athens, The Age, December 18, 2008: “A high school student has been slightly wounded by a bullet fired in front of a school in a western Athens suburb, police say, ahead of new protests over the killing of a teenager by a police bullet. The 16-year-old was hit in the hand as he talked with other students in the street on Wednesday night in the suburban town of Peristeri, according to a police source. It was not known who fired the bullet. Initial police investigations showed the student, the son of a trade unionist from the Greek Teachers Federation, had been hit by a bullet fired from a compressed-air rifle.

“Today [Friday, December 12, 2008], the assembly of the occupied Athens Polytechnic decided to make a callout for European and global-wide actions of resistance in the memory of all assassinated youth, migrants and all those who were struggling against the lackeys of the state. Carlo Giuliani; the French suburb youths; Alexandros Grigoropoulos and the countless others, all around the world. Our lives do not belong to the states and their assassins! The memory of the assassinated brothers and sisters, friends and comrades stays alive through our struggles! We do not forget our brothers and sisters, we do not forgive their murderers. Please translate and spread around this message for a common day of coordinated actions of resistance in as many places around the world as possible…”

WE DON’T FORGET, WE DON’T FORGIVE: End State Murder
Solidarity With Uprising in Greece
Remember Those Killed by the State
No More Deaths in Custody
Free Lex Wotton
What Stephen Lawrence Has Taught Us.
We know who the killers are,
We have watched them strut before us
As proud as sick Mussolinis’,
We have watched them strut before us
Compassionless and arrogant,
They paraded before us,
Like angels of death
Protected by the law.
It is now an open secret
Black people do not have
Chips on their shoulders,
They just have injustice on their backs
And justice on their minds,
And now we know that the road to liberty
Is as long as the road from slavery.
The death of Stephen Lawrence
Has taught us to love each other
And never to take the tedious task
Of waiting for a bus for granted.
Watching his parents watching the cover-up
Begs the question
What are the trading standards here?
Why are we paying for a police force
That will not work for us?
The death of Stephen Lawrence
Has taught us
That we cannot let the illusion of freedom
Endow us with a false sense of security as we walk the streets,
The whole world can now watch
The academics and the super cops
Struggling to define institutionalised racism
As we continue to die in custody
As we continue emptying our pockets on the pavements,
And we continue to ask ourselves
Why is it so official
That black people are so often killed
Without killers?
We are not talking about war or revenge
We are not talking about hypothetics or possibilities,
We are talking about where we are now
We are talking about how we live now
In dis state
Under dis flag, (God Save the Queen),
And God save all those black children who want to grow up
And God save all the brothers and sisters
Who like raving,
Because the death of Stephen Lawrence
Has taught us that racism is easy when
You have friends in high places.
And friends in high places
Have no use whatsoever
When they are not your friends.
Dear Mr Condon,
Pop out of Teletubby land,
And visit reality,
Come to an honest place
And get some advice from your neighbours,
Be enlightened by our community,
Neglect your well-paid ignorance
Because
We know who the killers are.

A good cop is a dead cop.
Good rally today in Melbourne out the front of parliament in opposition to police violence.
The decision of the International collective occupation of the people:
Police didn’t kill anyone [sic]. It was all in self-defence.
thinking that you’d be a real moron wouldn’t you Jim Bob?
And what would you know.
Everything
Police killed Tyler Cassidy. They claim it was in self-defence. Andreas / Alexandros Grigoropoulos was executed in cold blood.
