Возможно, он это придумал, но, предположим, что это было правдой и, если бы у него на груди была видеокамера, запись подтвердила бы его правоту? Что, 14 пуль - это адекватный уровень самозащиты от нападающего с дубинкой?
Есть понятие закона, а есть человечность, сострадание, эмпатия. Человек, всаживающий в другого человека, пусть даже и в целях самообороны, 14 пуль, не видит в другом человеке человека, а значит и сам уже перестает быть человеком. Ведь это даже не ветхозаветное "око за око", что уж там говорить о христианском призыве любить своих врагов. Расчеловечивание людей в современном обществе - самое страшное явление, никакой терроризм и рядом не стоял.

Да, расизм - извечное зло, но борьба с ним не прекращается. И сегодня уже намного меньше межрасового неприятия, чем это было раньше. Интересно, что в Америке больше и больше смешанных пар и, я думаю, что лет через 100+ цвет толпы будет заметно отличный от современного.

"I congratulate the Los Angeles City Council for voting to raise the minimum wage to $15 per hour. The momentum is growing all across our country as state after state and city after city raise their minimum wage to help millions of hard-working Americans earn the income they deserve. States and communities are not waiting for Congress to act because working people cannot survive on the federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour. If people work 40 hours a week, they deserve not to live in dire poverty."
Bernie Sanders

Will there be a Maidan 2.0 in Macedonia?

Some say that troubles in Macedonia stirred up by American government to prevent "Turk Stream" gas line to go to Europe. Particular resemblance to Ukrainian Maidan is troubling, looks like it was done by the same director.

A funny fact is that all those local "kings" are of very little worth, since no one is out for them, everyone who is not protesting are just spectators who simply feel like having fun watching a show of overthrowing another corrupt power. I think it's particularly true for Eastern Europe, but who knows where it may be replicated next. Personally, I don't have a problem with overthrowing governments that even the most loyal people don't care about. Does anyone?

Could you point me to a direction of unbiased media resource? I would love to have an access to one.
However, after a thorough search I could only conclude that such resource does not exist. Moreover, respected (by me) media resources such as BBC and CNN are very biased, especially in external politics.
So if you are to drink from a cup of BBC or CNN don't forget to drink from RT and Al Jazeera, to neutralize the poison of one another.

Say what? Which ones exactly do you call "poison"?
