Police Kill 34 Miners; Then Charge The Rest of the Miners With Their Murders
On August 16th, 34 miners were killed by South African police close to Johannesburg. The miners were on strike and protesting low wages. Now, 270 miners are being charged with the murders that were committed by the South African police. To protest low wages and watch your fellow miners gunned down for doing so is bad enough. But to then be charged by the very law enforcement who is to blame for the murders is a disgrace to the human race. South African leaders should be ashamed and something must be done to protect these miners.

Ex-Navy Seal-"Bin Laden Was Unarmed"
A former Navy Seal who was apart of the group that went into Pakistan after bin Laden states that he was, in fact, already shot in the head when they made it to the room he was in. Accounts from the White House first insisted that the Seals were in some sort of combat with bin Laden. That statement was then changed to say that there was no firefight, but that bin Laden was armed during the raid.
Well, the Navy Seal states that none of this is true.
