Woman Arrested for Bringing Water to Animals in Scorching Heat

http://www.care2.com

Three years ago, I was driving home and noticed a farm with very thin horses without water. I stopped my car and got out and all the farm animals, goats, chickens, ducks, miniature horses called to me. It was 103 degrees on a sweltering summer day and I could see from the road that all of the water troughs were tipped over and empty. I was arrested for trespassing and made headlines in the North County Times and Valley Roadrunner.

Peaceful Streets Project distributes 100 cameras to record police

http://austin.ynn.com

About 100 video cameras were handed out to volunteers who committed to record all police encounters they come across.

Peaceful Streets Project organizer Antonio Buehler said he hopes the project and summit will help a culture shift.

"One where the people don't have to live afraid of the police and they don't have to be afraid to stand up for their rights. One where bad cops get run out of their organizations by the good cops, and one where the chain of command and internal affairs and the system doesn't cover up the crimes of these criminal cops," Buehler said.

His Lakota name, Wanbli Ohitika, means Brave Eagle and his life was a testament to that title.

http://www.zdnet.com

Hacktivist group Anonymous took control of the U.S. Sentencing Commission website Friday, January 25 in a new campaign called "Operation Last Resort." It appears that via the U.S. government website, Anonymous had distributed encrypted government files and left a statement on the website that de-encryption keys would be publicly released (thus releasing the as-yet unknown information held on the stolen files) if the U.S. government did not comply with Anonymous' ultimatum demands for legal reform.

Anyone can be a Hero, but there's only one Petaluma Batman

http://silverunderground.com

They call him the Petaluma Batman, because is true identity is unknown, even carefully protected by the people of Petaluma, California. Even when ABC news covered his story they wrote "We do know his true identity, but we've agreed to keep it confidential for his and his family's safety."

Petaluma Batman is a true caped crusader, as you can see in his photo, and he patrols the streets of his hometown. His motto, "a hero can be anyone." I can certainly get behind that.

"Naked Rambler" finally walks free, still refuses to wear clothes

http://www.bbc.co.uk

On his previous releases from prison, officers re-arrested him within 60 seconds, but not this time. Mr Gough welcomed the new police response: "My opinion is that the police have thought 'the guy's not going to give up so let's have a think about it'." Chief Insp Andy McCann said: "We have been working closely with our partners in law enforcement and the individual concerned in an effort to resolve this impasse. We hope that by exercising some discretion we can find a more satisfactory conclusion for all concerned."
