It's theorized that Robert Burns' famous phrase
'man's inhumanity to man' derives from an earlier
expression by German philosopher Samuel von Pufendorf – who,
with a name like that, would certainly have had firsthand knowledge
of the subject.
Not to oppose injustice is to be party to it – and who
doesn't like to be have fun!

"Remember, injustice and oppression will never prevail! Those who
are powerful have to remember the litmus test that God gives to the
powerful: what is your treatment of the poor, the hungry, the
voiceless?"

"The revolution will not be televised!"
No mainstream media outlet in the country is speaking out about what has happened in Turkey. The only way to follow what has happened is via social media, eye witness accounts, and a few cameras broadcasting on the internet.
We desperately need to draw attention to the injustice that is taking place in Turkey. We cannot let the media blackout bury this in darkness.
31.05.2013 Bloody Friday
Yesterday was the scene for unprecidented state and police violence against the public in Turkey. What started as a sit in against plans to build a shopping mall in place of Gezi Parki, known as the only green space left in central Istanbul, eventually turned into something much bigger. Yesterday was Turkey's Bloody Friday.
It started as a peacful protest. People set up tents, sang, and held book readings at the park to keep out bulldozers
-Police started firing tear gas grenades, water cannons, and rubber bullets, directly targeting the people.
-Gas grenades were fired into metro stations. The doors were locked. People were tweeting, asking for help.
-The emergency room of a hospital was gassed
-Hundreds of people were admitted to hospitals. Several had severe brain damage and others are now dead.
-There are reports of people permanently losing their sight due to gas grenades or water canons
-There were reports that police would drive the crowd to the end of Istiklal Avenue by use of gas grenades, where police buses were waiting to take detainees the anti-terrorism bureau
Early hours of Saturday morning, 40,000 people are marching
on the bridge towards Taksim. Countless buses from all around the country are taking fellow citizens to Istanbul to join resistance against the opressive government.
People chant: "Shoulder to shoulder against facism!"
