Tomcat/Mawi arrested in Hungary
category: general [glöplog]
His girlfriend Athina writes in her blog:
"Are we having a dictatureship?
Yes, you've read it correctly, I think we might have. Hungary is ruled
by a legal and spiritual dictatureship powered and maintained by the
most disgusting means possible. A dictatureship that preaches tolerance
and expects the people to be tolerant but it itself does not tolerate
any dissent, criticism and complaint regardless whether it's justified
or not.
You could say it isn't true or these are but the words of a paranoid
fool, but if you really think so, then your vision is either clouded or
you have the rare and precious opportunity to be sheltered from hat's
actually going on in Hungary.
There is one thing I have to make absolutely clear: I had not partaken
in the events happening at the streets of Budapest at the night of 9th
September, 2006. This information will prove interesting in the light of
the later events in this story, this is why I have to be very clear
about it. I've been taking care of my ten years old sister at the flat
of my parents, which is proven by two eyewitnesses, the log of the cab

Just stay and relax. Police is here to protect us.
Yeah, the police are your friend :-)
police are good for our health.
support your local police - beat yourself up
police helps to keep us in the right way.
What did she expect ?
Anywhere & at anytime, protecting the riches from the poors have always been police's main activity, and this for the sake of the "Social cohesion" that's how it is called, live with it.

Come to Portugal, and Inércia Demoparty 2006!
The earth would be a better place if everybody went to Inercia!
Perhaps it's time to check up on that 'dangerous liberal organization', the ACLU...
tomcat is a nice guy,
a quote from his blog:
'why dont they cancel the gypsies? They are dangerous. Like the little crappy one who set on fire the poor girl from Mako. Otherwise the girl has died.' ... ' In a better country after such an event their race would be exterminated.'
