Status Report: Snapshot of the World through 4 articles

These stories are taken from the Huffington Post, an independent internet news publication. However, just because these stories happen to coincide with what this blog is about DOES NOT mean they are accurate or even true. In this day and age information can be hidden, distorted, or falsely generated in the blink of an eye. Question Everything.

Afghanistan

Afghanistan's Child Rapist Police Return Behind Shield Of US, UK Troops

Apparently, the people of Afghanistan have been consistently abused by the police governance over the past 8 or 9 years. One of their alleged abuses is the abduction and rape of pre-teen boys. The situation is so bad that the general populace is vowing to support the Taliban just to get rid them. The situation gets stickier considering this police force was not elected by the Afghani people but was assembled from the US backed forces fighting the Taliban in 2001. Aw shit.

This article details the brutal conditions that protesters face, justified in the name of government and God. But they refuse to give in. Long live the revolution.
Robot
Company Fined After Robot Attacks Worker
The title says it all on this one.
