Edwards Sentinel Staff Writer October 6, 2006 TAMPA -- Relatives of a man who was killed by a SWAT team in a hail of 68 bullets one day after police say he gunned down a Polk County deputy sheriff called on the governor Thursday to launch an independent investigation into his death. "All they want is justification," lawyer Grady C. Irvin Jr. said at a news conference with the family in his Tampa office. Angilo Freeland died one week ago when he [allegedly] was found with a gun in his hand by a SWAT team that had searched a wooded area west of Lakeland overnight.

2:39 pm	Shots Fired at Melbourne, FL Mosque Hate Crimes Shots fired at Melbourne mosque, no injuries reported Associated Press [via Orlando Sentinel] Posted September 23, 2006, 11:26 AM EDT MELBOURNE -- Shots were fired at a mosque as members celebrated the start of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, but no injuries or arrests were reported, authorities said today. A member of the Islamic Society of Brevard County stepped outside of the mosque Friday night to use his cell phone when he heard several gun shots, the Melbourne police department said. The member, who was not immediately identified, took cover behind a wall as several rounds struck the building's south side, police said. He then ran inside and told mosque members, who called police. Authorities searched the surrounding area for suspects but found none. The FBI and Joint Terrorism Task Force were helping with the search, police spokeswoman Jill Frederiksen said today.( Read more... ) (Comment on this)

A measure by councilman Andy Anderson that sought to penalize employers of illegal immigrants by imposing fines and suspending business licenses was defeated last month after long hearings and threats of lawsuits. But "The Silent Majority of Florida," as the new political-action group of some residents and their supporters calls itself, filed an affidavit with the city clerk Tuesday expressing its intent to revive the ordinance.

11:48 am	FLORIDA PRISONER SUPPORT NETWORK RESIST THE GREEN SCARE! It is time South Florida... it's time to stand strong and mobilize against a government that seeks to shut down our right to speak up and take action in defense of the earth and the animals. We have entered a new era of political fear-mongering and corporate rule that seeks to label our legitimate earth and animal liberation movements as the biggest threats facing the United States. Now termed for its grave resemblance to McCarthy's Red Scare tactics, the emerging "Green Scare" won't stop until every activist has been investigated and booked. The dark truth becomes more evident every day as FBI activist round-up campaigns like "Operation Backfire" and initiatives by Senator James Inhofe of Oklahoma expose their Orwellian plots. The past year alone has seen too many indiscriminate indictments, unconstitutional grand jury investigations, and appalling federal convictions. Activist by activist our government has failed us and made their clear point... YOU ARE NEXT! Are we going to sit here idly and wait for our constitutional rights to be stripped away one by one? Are we going to turn our backs on those who are in jail or awaiting trial for crimes they never committed? It is time to react, educate, organize, and support. We must come together as a South Florida community and fight back against this repression. It is time for Florida Prisoner Support Network! Who we are and why you must join the network: Florida Prisoner Support Network (FPSN) is an all-volunteer grassroots collective striving to protect unjustly targeted ecoactivists and ecoprisoners from the harsh reality of government persecution. Through sponsoring benefit events, educational seminars, and legal counsel FPSN hopes to reclaim our constitutional right to free speech and continue the fight of targeted activists.

11:48 am	Shackling of juveniles challenged http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/local/state/orl-shackles1206sep12,0,7118351.story?track=rss Shackling of juveniles challenged Public defenders call chaining children abusive Maya Bell Sentinel Staff Writer September 12, 2006 MIAMI -- The arrest of her son for a schoolyard fight was devastating enough, but Giselle Sanchez was horrified when she watched the 15-year-old, his wrists handcuffed and his ankles shackled, shuffle into his first juvenile-court appearance. "He's a child, not an animal," Sanchez said. "Why is he in chains?" For years, the same question has haunted lawyers with the Miami-Dade Public Defender's Office. On Monday, they acted to unshackle the children who appear in their courtrooms. If they are successful, their tactic is likely to spread across the state. They think Florida's practice of routinely chaining children during court hearings -- regardless of their age, size, alleged offense, or likelihood of misbehavior or escape -- is psychologically abusive and counter to the rehabilitative goals of the juvenile-justice system. Asking judges to halt the "degrading and unlawful" practice in Miami-Dade County, the lawyers filed motions on behalf of each youngster who appeared in juvenile court for detention hearings. The only judge to hear the motions Monday granted them, saying he, too, disagreed with cuffing kids in the courtroom unless the child was a known security risk. ( Read more... ) (Comment on this)

3:23 pm	Take Action: Bring Down The Retaliator Nazis! To: action-usa@lists.riseup.net From: ... Date: Sat, 2 Sep 2006 11:24:49 -0700 (PDT) Subject: [action-usa] Bring Down The Retaliator Nazis Right now a Wisconsin racist skinhead gang known as the Retaliator Skins have on their website (www.retaliatorskins.com) a list of anti-racist organizers. They have posted as much information on these people as they could find in an effort to intimidate them because they know they are losing. Interestingly enough at least some of their pictures are of people that are not who these boneheads claim. The website is hosted by homestead.com which clearly states in it's member agreement that it does not host hate-sites (section 8b of member agreement). In addition to this at least one person on this list is a minor which is another violation (8m) of the agreement. This means that we can get this site taken down! To do this you can: call Homestead at 1-800-710-1998 or send them a message here: https://www.homestead.com/~site/Scripts_GenericForm/GenericForm.dll?CMD=CMDForm&V1=support_form_newmember_out Tell Homestead we do not appreciate their aiding in the intimidation of anti-racist organizers andthe recruiting by a racist thug organization.

8:00 am	Jail Guards Delayed CPR on Limp Teen CopWatch http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/local/state/orl-teen2206aug22,0,6418015.story Jail guards delayed CPR on limp teen The Associated Press August 22, 2006 TALLAHASSEE -- Guards at a privately operated juvenile prison didn't immediately start CPR on a collapsed teenage inmate because they thought he was faking even though his heart was stopped, one of the officers told investigators. When Josephus Johnson heard a "gurgling" sound coming from Willie Durden's cell at Cypress Creek Juvenile Offender Correctional Center in Citrus County on Oct. 13, he went inside and found the 17-year-old cold, limp and without a pulse. But cardiopulmonary resuscitation wasn't begun for 20 minutes because "some of these kids will play pranks," Johnson told an investigator with the state Department of Juvenile Justice, according to records provided to The Miami Herald. The inspector "asked Johnson how someone could get his or her heart to stop beating to accomplish such a prank." ( Read more... ) (Comment on this)

Instead, he was ousted because he could not uphold public trust while participating in such groups, they said. An arbitrator disagreed, ordering the State Patrol to reinstate Henderson within 60 days and pay him back wages. The state went to court Friday to keep him off the force.

3:30 am	Inmate Severely Beaten at Orange County Jail CopWatch http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/local/orange/orl-jailfight1306aug13,0,5659346.story?coll=orl-home-headlines Officer, inmate tussle draws review An investigation will be carried out by Orange County Corrections.

9:33 am	National Socialist Movement Implodes Amid Allegations of Satanism The following article (behind cut) is borrowed from the website of our friends at One People's Project. Since this article was posted Bill White has started his own Nazi group, the American National Socialist Workers Party, and has appointed himself commander of this fledgling group, or has been appointed such by the sycophants who followed him in the wake of his exodus from the National Socialist Movement. One of the websites for the ANSWP contains the following statement, which we think is hilarious. (It also is further evidence of the often bizarre world that is the white supremacist movement.): "On July 18, 2006, 21 former state and unit leaders of the National Socialist Movement, along with 96 comrades, declared a break with Jeffrey Schoep and his National Socialist Movement, having cited him for numerous offenses against the party, not the least of which was his continued patronizing of convicted sex offenders, his own personal checkered history, and his 15-year lond relationship with the former Chairman, Cliff Herrington, who was married to a non-white woman and actively engaged in Satan worship – Satan worship which included sexual acts with young teenagers." The first issue of the ANSWP's magazine, National Socialist, features a full-color photo of White, in all his pudgy glory, on the cover. (You can see it behind the cut.)

12:55 am	Columbia, S.C. Antifa Organize Against Aryan Nations Event Date: Mon, 24 Jul 2006 16:14:47 -0700 (PDT) From: ... To: infoshopnetwork@lists.resist.ca FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Luther Blissett -- Columbia Antifascists Phone: (803) 447-3491 Email: COLUMBIAANTIFA@HUSH.COM Web site: http://www.geocities.com/columbiaantifa ARYAN NATIONS TO HOLD "WORLD CONGRESS 2006" IN LEXINGTON, SC Columbia Antifascist group refuses to allow neo-Nazi headquarters in Midlands From July 28-30, the Aryan Nations will attempt to hold its "World Congress 2006" in Lexington, S.C. Led by national director August B. Kreis III, this faction of the violent and racist group has been based in Lexington since 2005, though it has avoided media scrutiny and militant opposition. Aryan Nations brings with it a history of violence and murder, including the 1999 shootings of children and adults at a Los Angeles Jewish community daycare. The group blends racist Christian Identity and neo-Nazi ideology with the goal of establishing "a White Aryan homeland on the North American continent." The group was bankrupted in 2000. Their Idaho compound was seized in 2001. Their founder, Pastor Richard G. Butler, died in 2004. Although this faction is a pathetic shadow of its former self, Aryan Nations continues in its mission to incite hatred and violence against Jews, homosexuals, people of color and all those deemed unfit for its master plan. An ad hoc coalition of concerned Columbia residents formed in response to news of the neo-Nazi group. Columbia Antifascists spent several weeks gathering intelligence and is now escalating tactics to alert local residents and media to the potentially violent event. Similar events in Toledo, OH, and York, PA, have resulted in clashes between neo-Nazis and anti-fascists. Kreis has hoped to keep this gathering from the attention of what he calls the "Jews media," publicizing mostly by the Internet and word of mouth. His phone number is 803-233-6601 . ### For more information on Aryan Nations, see their Web site: http://www.aryan-nations.org For more information on Columbia Antifascists, see: http://www.geocities.com/columbiaantifa (Comment on this)

6:08 pm	School board candidate blasts undocumented immigrants http://www.orlandosentinel.com/orl-letter1406jun14,0,93887.story Osceola schools candidate blasts illegal migrants Victor Manuel Ramos | Sentinel Staff Writer Posted June 14, 2006 An Osceola County School Board candidate seeking to represent a district that includes parts of largely Hispanic neighborhoods blames illegal immigrants for everything from homicides, the spread of AIDS and drug abuse to epidemic diseases and prostitution. The candidate, expressing his opinion in a letter that he submitted to a weekly publication, said that those immigrants "constitute an attack force from the Third World against America." But the words that some Hispanic activists see as offensive -- and embarrassing -- didn't come from a U.S.-born candidate complaining about an alien invasion. They came from a candidate born in Venezuela who says he is courting the vote of Hispanics. ( Read more... ) (Comment on this)

8:56 pm	Nazi Leader Achieves a New Low in Mendacity BILL WHITE ACHIEVES A NEW LOW IN MENDACITY Mendacity: n : the tendency to be untruthful Despite obviously having read our May 25th press release White deliberately and willfully misstates the facts from Orlando in order to serve his own propaganda purposes and to continue to delude his supporters. The antifa in question pled "NO CONTEST" (which is not an admission of guilt and is not the same thing as a "conviction"–something that White, with his long history of arrests and court cases, should understand) to a reduced charge of resisting arrest without violence. This plea bargain was offered by the State Attorney's office after they, obviously, viewed the videotapes from the Feb. 25th police riot and other evidence, and found that there was absolutely no basis in fact for the misdemeanor and felony charges of battery and assault that our comrade originally was facing.

2:30 pm	Panel: North Carolina Should Pay for 1898 Race Riot Panel: N.C. should pay for 1898 race riot By MIKE BAKER, Associated Press Writer Thu Jun 1, 9:50 AM ET RALEIGH, N.C. - A state-appointed commission is urging North Carolina to provide reparations for the 1898 racial violence that sparked an exodus of more than 2,000 black residents from Wilmington. The 500-page report that was produced after six years of study also said the violence, which killed as many as 60 people, was not a spontaneous riot but rather the nation's only recorded coup d'etat. "There is no amount of money that can repair what happened years ago and compensate for the loss of lives and the loss of property," said vice chairman Irving Joyner, a professor at N.C. Central School of Law. ( Read more... ) (Comment on this)
