Seems the American media, from what I heard on Democracy Now!, I don't watch TV news, is not even covering this historic event. I am so pissed at the millionaire talking heads and pundits floating in their cesspool of commercialized

We have to get this internet crankin' out damage to the status quo. Anything happens to Julian we WILL make up a hit squad and take the perps out! Right? Right!!
