Probably most of you will have read or seen the video of what happened at UC Davis with non-violent student protestors getting pepper-sprayed - this photo (and other versions of it) has been circulated around a lot, and you can see a video of the whole ( Read more... )

Aaaand a few links that have nothing to do with each other but they do have to do with what's on my mind these days!
