I Am Jack's Seething Cauldron Of Rage

A leader of an opposition party in modern Russian is arrested for opposing the ruling United Russia party of Medvedev and Putin. The leader of Russia's only independent election monitor, Golos, was detained at a Moscow airport for 12 hours, a colleague said Saturday, the latest government pressure on the group ahead of Sunday's parliamentary vote. Golos has documented thousands of election law violations during the latest campaign — most of them linked to the United Russia party, which dominates the Kremlin and supports Russian leader Vladimir Putin. United Russia dominates Russia's political life and has received overwhelmingly favorable coverage during the campaign, mostly from Kremlin-controlled national television.

The Nazis sought out the remaining credible opposition voices from among these groups and permanently silenced them publicly in kangaroo courts. The courts were known as Volksgerichtshof or "People's Courts". In thes

The energy that was born while he was still in his 20's never really dissipated and was there right until the end when on November 15, 1996, he was shot while he sat in the Drop Inn Center as he looked up to welcome a friend and stared down the barrel of a handgun instead. Wilbur Worthen shot him. Gray fell to the floor. Worthen fired again and again, emptying his .357-caliber Magnum. It's been 15 years. His death at the age of 46 was a shock and an irony not lost on Gray's supporters and friends - shot and killed that day by someone he'd helped, by someone those who knew both called a friend. For almost a quarter-century Buddy Gray made the poverty-ridden little pocket of America called
