Judge to rule on insanity verdict in trial over a Midtown shooting committed by Anthropology major who was “trying to spread the message of making white people mend.”
—————————-
A Fulton County judge will rule Thursday on whether to give the jury a third verdict option in the trial of a former Midtown security guard accused in a deadly 2011 shooting spree in Midtown.
Superior Court Judge Kelly A. Lee will hear from experts who evaluated Nkosi Thandiwe Wednesday night to determine if his mental state during the shooting spree was so disturbed that a jury could find him “not guilty by reason of insanity.”
Thandiwe’s attorney made the last-minute request Wednesday after his client testified, admitting to fatally shooting Brittney Watts amid a trance-like state.
“It was almost like watching myself in action,” Thandiwe told a Fulton County jury on the second day of his murder trial. “I tell her to get out of (her) car. She screams. I fire. She drops to the ground.”
Thandiwe, 23, also confessed from the witness stand that he shot two other women that day – Tiffany Ferenczy and Lauren Garcia, who is now paralyzed from her injuries – before driving off in Watts’ car.
“My mind was blank at the time,” he said.
…
During his testimony Wednesday, Thandiwe suggested that his reason for even purchasing the gun he used in the shootings was to enforce beliefs he’d developed about white people during his later years as an anthropology major at the University of West Georgia.
“I was trying to prove a point that Europeans had colonized the world, and as a result of that, we see a lot of evil today,” he said. “In terms of slavery, it was something that needed to be answered for. I was trying to spread the message of making white people mend.”
He said the night before the shooting, he attended a so-called “Peace Party” intended to address his concerns about helping the black community find equal footing, but two white people were there.
“I was upset,” Thandiwe said. “I was still upset Friday. I took the gun to work because I was still upset from Thursday night.”
He even admitted to earlier that day getting angry enough on the job to shoot his supervisor.
“What my boss said to me …,” he told the jury, “that rage almost made me pull out my gun on him.”

Racism fears ‘left Asian gang free to rape girls’ 
—————————————————————————

Police and social workers in England have been accused of failing to investigate a South Asian paedophile gang for fear of being perceived as racist, leaving the men free to prey on up to 50 white girls.
Nine men from Rochdale, Greater Manchester, were convicted of abusing five vulnerable teenagers after plying them with alcohol and small sums of money.
The true number of victims who were “passed around” by the gang was likely to have been nearer 50, police said.
Greater Manchester Police and the Crown Prosecution Service apologised after they failed to bring the case of the first victim, known as Girl A, to trial following her initial cry for help in August 2008.
One 13-year-old victim became pregnant and had the child aborted while another was raped by 20 men in one night, Liverpool Crown Court heard. Complaints to social workers and the police were ignored because they were “petrified of being called racist”, Ann Cryer, the former Labour MP for Keighley, said.
Mrs Cryer, who has campaigned to bring the issue of Asian sex gangs to light, said the girls had been “betrayed” and condemned to “untold misery” by the police and social services.
“This is an absolute scandal. They were petrified of being called racist and so reverted to the default of political correctness,” she said. “They had a greater fear of being perceived in that light than in dealing with the issues in front of them.”
Girl A told police that she had been raped and provided DNA evidence from her attacker. The CPS twice decided not to prosecute him. As a result, the 15 year-old’s abuse continued. At its height she was driven to flats and houses to be raped by up to five men a night, four or five days a week. She was singled out because she was white, vulnerable and under-age.
Her ordeal only ended when she became pregnant and her teachers became concerned by the number of Asian men picking her up from school.
During her initial complaint, Girl A gave a six-hour interview in which she provided police with details about her abusers and where the attacks took place. Crucially, she handed officers underwear that proved she had been raped by two men in a single attack. “I hoped they were going to do something and it would stop,” she said.
“But it just carried on. It just started again with different men and more men this time, and that’s when it started becoming up to five men a day.”
Kabeer Hassan, Abdul Aziz, Abdul Rauf, Mohammed Sajid, Adil Khan, Abdul Qayyum, Mohammed Amin, Hamid Safi and a 59-year-old man, known only as Defendant X for legal reasons, were found guilty of running a child exploitation ring by a jury at Liverpool Crown Court.

Greater Manchester Police is being investigated by the IPCC over the failings in its first investigation in 2008.
When the force finally passed a file to the Criminal Prosecution Service the following year, a Crown lawyer decided not to charge anyone because he said Girl A would not be a sufficiently credible witness to put before a jury. A second CPS lawyer backed that opinion.
It was only after social workers noticed an upsurge in cases of child grooming that police reinvestigated.
It can now be reported that the trial was delayed by two weeks when two Asian barristers quit the case due to intimidation by far-Right groups outside Liverpool Crown Court.
Assistant Chief Constable Steve Heywood acknowledged that officers could have dealt with the case “better than we did”. But he denied that the girl’s complaints had been “brushed under the carpet” due to racism fears. “At the time we did what we thought was best,” he said. “We have learned a lot of lessons.”
Steve Garner, head of children’s services at Rochdale council, denied that his department had let down the teenager.
“I think it’s really important to remember that what we know now and what we knew in 2008 is very, very different and what we have done is put the lessons in place,” he said.
Rochdale’s MP, Simon Danczuk, said: “What’s become clear is that if police had acted seriously on these concerns in 2008 many of the victims of this appalling case would not have had to go through such horrific trauma.”
The defendants were all found guilty of conspiracy to engage in sexual activity with children under 16. Aziz, Khan, Rauf, Sajid, Safi and Defendant X were convicted of trafficking for sexual exploitation. Defendant X, Hassan and Sajid were found guilty of rape. Sajid was convicted of sexual activity with a child. Amin was also convicted of sexual assault. Defendant X was convicted of aiding and abetting a rape and one count of sexual assault. They will be sentenced today.

homelessness & space politics in radical spaces; a prequel to a series of bitter posts to come

dollarstore-princess:

I really don’t understand why people with money and a safe space deny housing to those without- if they’re kind, they may let you stay a night or two, but then you’ve got to move on. But why? They give us reasons like “we need our space”, “well, you can’t pay…” “we don’t have that much space and you’re taking it up!” when their idea of not that much space is an extremely privileged one. “we can’t have you here because it makes people uncomfortable” it makes YOU, a person with their own room and consistant access to power and water and food and warmth and MONEY uncomfortable because oppressed people need things from you?

No. You are privileged. You are disgusting, privileged fucks and you should be ashamed if you think you can justify that kind of classism. We see right through your bullshit- the thing is, you don’t see it even though it’s right in front of your face literally begging you to SLEEP ON YOUR FLOOR; you have no idea what it’s like to go without, to feel scared and unsafe and hungry, to not know where to go or what you’ll do the next day to simply survive. Think about that when you fucking talk about you “need” for private space. That’s not a need, that’s a luxury, and you deny it to those without because you’re selfish and you’re playing into the same hierarchies of capitalism you claim to be against. 

We have to suck up to you, do your chores, take your oppression just to use the excess resources you’re not using in order to survive. It makes me sick, it makes me angry, but mostly it makes me sad. I cannot believe that other radicals, especially other trans radicals, have such fake principals and false solidarity.

How do you sleep at night knowing we’re on the streets because you NEED your livingroom floor or couch empty?

>work for a living, pay for your home and food.

>you are a disgusting, privileged fuck and should be ashamed of not allowing homeless people to stay in the house you worked to pay for because you can’t afford to keep them around, feed them or the person is a fucking awful or mooching piece of shit who won’t do shit around the house or whatever

Man, just get a job? Christ almighty.

HAVING A PLACE TO LIVE THAT YOU PAY FOR AND NOT ALLOWING HOMELESS PEOPLE WHO CAN’T TAKE CARE OF THEMSELVES TO LIVE WITH YOU IS OFFICIALLY OPPRESSION EVERYONE!!! THANK YOU, BASED TUMBLR LOGIC.

“Sold for $2,700”
How Hungarian criminals built a slave trade in Ontario —————————————————————-
A Hungarian crime family ran the largest human-trafficking ring in Canadian history, bringing people from their home country to work for no pay on Ontario construction sites, buying and selling some for a few thousand dollars a head, and using them as household servants.
The case, which has seen the toughest-ever sentence handed down for the crime, will reach its denouement Tuesday, when the scheme’s kingpin, Ferenc Domotor, learns his fate in a Hamilton court. 
Human trafficking – coercing people into forced labour – is a major global problem. Various United Nations estimates in recent years have pegged the number of people under traffickers’ control in the millions. And Canada has taken a tough posture on the crime. The government added it to the Criminal Code in 2005 and, in February, Immigration Minister Jason Kenney tabled legislation designed to tighten up the refugee system Mr. Domotor and his associates used to bring in their victims. But, with just a handful of Canadian human-trafficking convictions in the last seven years, this prosecution represents some of the strongest, most tangible action this country has taken against the scourge.
The Domotor criminal organization, as police dub the family, entered Canada inauspiciously enough. Mr. Domotor, 49, and his younger brother, Gyula, were facing extortion charges in Hungary when they arrived in Canada in 1998. Both men settled with their families in Hamilton, the industrial city of half a million people west of Toronto, and got into the stucco business.
Save for a shoplifting conviction in 2001 – Ferenc Domotor and his wife, Gyongi Kolompar, took some sweaters from a Sears outlet– he largely flew under the radar. In 2008, when Canada loosened visa requirements for Hungarian citizens, Mr. Domotor’s brothers, sisters and in-laws joined him.
Then came a steady flow of slaves. Family members and associates in Hungary recruited unemployed men from Papa, the town of 33,000 where the Domotors are from, promising them good jobs paying thousands of dollars a month in Canada.
 To Tamas Miko, the offer sounded pretty good. He had spent months looking for a steady job after the cable factory he worked at closed down, when an acquaintance put him in touch with Mr. Domotor. The family bought him a plane ticket and, in August of 2009, he flew to Pearson International Airport. 
 When he arrived, Mr. Domotor’s wife took his passport and the couple drove him to their home on a quiet side street in the suburb of Ancaster. There, he was told he would sleep on a mattress on the floor of the basement, with six other men. 
 It was one of them who told Mr. Miko that the promises of a better life were not going to come true. 
 The men woke up before six o’clock every morning to be shuttled to work sites. On a typical day, Mr. Miko said, he didn’t finish until 11 p.m. or later. He was fed only one meal a day. Escape was impossible: The windows and doors of the house were alarmed and, in any case, Mr. Miko had nowhere to go. He didn’t speak English and the family had his documents. 
 “I was just thinking, ‘Why did I come here?’” recalls Mr. Miko, a friendly 24-year-old with a boyish look and an easygoing manner. “I didn’t know what I was going to do.” 
Mr. Domotor, he says, told him he had to pay off the cost of his flight, plus a 600,000 forint “fee” (about $2,700) the family paid its associates in Hungary for recruiting him. It was a similar story for other workers. Some of them toiled for more than two years, living in the basements of six gang members’ homes, without ever paying down their “debt.” 

Some victims worked directly for the organization’s stucco businesses, while others were farmed out to different companies, including a lumber yard and a tiling contractor. They were ordered to make fraudulent welfare claims and set up bank accounts. Gang members took their debit cards.
 Adding insult to injury, many were made to clean their captors’ homes. The gang’s only known female victim, Erzsebet Szailaine Ban, was used as an unpaid maid by Mr. Domotor’s brother Jozsef, cleaning his car and taking care of his young daughter. 
 To keep them in line, Mr. Domotor and his relatives shouted at and threatened their workers. 
 In a statement to the RCMP, victim David Bogdan described a day in the summer of 2008, when Mr. Domotor beat three of his workers at a job site, shouting that they were causing him stress. The encounter left Mr. Bogdan with a cut mouth and a bloody ear. 
Another worker, Janos Farkas, told police Attila Kolompar, Mr. Domotor’s brother-in-law, once slapped him in the face because he wasn’t working fast enough. The blow knocked off his glasses and, when Mr. Farkas stooped to pick them up, Mr. Kolompar hit him again.
Gang members, meanwhile, lived the high life. In the fall of 2009, Ferenc and Gyula Domotor moved into new houses, each worth nearly $500,000, down the street from each other in Ancaster. The younger Mr. Domotor drove a black Mercedes and paid for a family cruise with cash. On bank documents, Ferenc Domotor’s oldest son – then aged 19 – listed his gross annual income as $142,000.
In December of 2009, one of the workers blew the lid on the scheme. Sandor Simon, a 51-year-old living in the basement of Mr. Kolompar’s sister, had arrived just two weeks earlier. When they took him to the welfare office, he told officials what was going on.
Around the same time, Mr. Miko told a contractor at the job site he was working on about what was happening, and the man called the RCMP.
Early one January morning, the contractor came to pick Mr. Miko up for work. As they sat in his car, the police arrived, he recounts. RCMP Constable Lepa Jankovic walked up to the vehicle and, reading from a piece of paper, told Mr. Miko in Hungarian: “I can take you to a safe place.”
“I was surprised and I asked [the contractor] what to do. He said ‘Go, go, go!’” Mr. Miko recalls. He was taken to a shelter in St. Catharines, along with several other workers.
But even after they escaped, the organization tracked them down. Over the following weeks, police moved victims from safe house to safe house but, wherever they went, the Domotors and their associates seemed to be able to find them. One victim told of being approached by Mr. Domotor’s cousin while he was smoking outside a shelter. She grabbed his arm and pulled him toward a car. Ms. Ban and her husband told police that a teenaged gang member called them up and threatened to slash their throats.
The Domotors’ relatives in Hungary offered to pay Mr. Miko’s family if he would withdraw his testimony. When they refused, Mr. Miko’s father said in a written account, they called repeatedly and showed up at his house, threatening to kill Mr. Miko. Things got so bad that Mr. Miko’s family eventually fled their home in the middle of the night. Police drove them to Budapest, where an NGO flew them to Canada.
Over the course of the next year, even as police investigated, the Domotor organization continued to bring workers into the country and even branched into a new type of crime: tipping over Canada Post boxes at night and rooting through the mail to steal and cash cheques.
In October of 2010, the RCMP charged nine people with human trafficking and busted up the scheme.


>mfw white privileged men speaking up against their slavery and oppression in a first world nation.

Oh wait, that’s right, they should’ve just checked their privilege, sat down, shut up and listen. White males are never oppressed in the patriarchy.

Over the following weeks, police moved victims from safe house to safe house but, wherever they went, the Domotors and their associates seemed to be able to find them. One victim told of being approached by Mr. Domotor’s cousin while he was smoking outside a shelter. She grabbed his arm and pulled him toward a car. Ms. Ban and her husband told police that a teenaged gang member called them up and threatened to slash their throats.

The Domotors’ relatives in Hungary offered to pay Mr. Miko’s family if he would withdraw his testimony. When they refused, Mr. Miko’s father said in a written account, they called repeatedly and showed up at his house, threatening to kill Mr. Miko. Things got so bad that Mr. Miko’s family eventually fled their home in the middle of the night. Police drove them to Budapest, where an NGO flew them to Canada.

Over the course of the next year, even as police investigated, the Domotor organization continued to bring workers into the country and even branched into a new type of crime: tipping over Canada Post boxes at night and rooting through the mail to steal and cash cheques.

In October of 2010, the RCMP charged nine people with human trafficking and busted up the scheme.

Oh wait, that’s right, they should’ve just checked their privilege, sat down, shut up and listen. White males are never oppressed in the patriarchy.

Right, tumblr SJAs?
