--- Quote ---
> A group of five Arab migrants have been arrested and charged
with aggravated assault in Sweden after filming themselves
pushing a Ukrainian refugee into a river and watching the man
fight for his life in the freezing cold water.
>
> The incident occurred on Nov. 22 last year when the Ukrainian
victim, working as a truck driver for a Polish hauling company,
decided to stop at Sydhamnen in Malmö and opted to try his hand
at some late-night fishing in the nearby river.
>
> The truck driver’s dash cam showed a group of Arab males
approaching the man and engaging him in a conversation. The
Ukrainian refugee appeared to not understand the group of
migrants and shows them the fish he had caught, before
proceeding to turn around and continue fishing.
>
> At this moment, one of the Arab men powerfully shoves the
truck driver in the back, causing him to fall into the extremely
cold river. Later, when the police measured the temperature,
they learned the water was just 8°C (46.4°F) — considered to be
dangerously cold, with even the most extreme-cold swimmers at
risk of hypothermia if exposed to such a temperature for more
than a few minutes.
--- End Quote ---
I am quite certain the fish out of water were in more danger
than the fisher in water.
--- Quote ---
> One of the Arab migrants filmed the assault, and the men can
be heard laughing uncontrollably as their victim struggles and
splashes in the water. With no ladder to assist his escape, he
can be heard screaming desperately for help as his heavy, wet
clothes pull him under the surface.
--- End Quote ---
It was far less than how desperate the fish were when the fisher
pulled them above the surface.
--- Quote ---
> Eventually, some of the group helped him back onto the
platform, where they left him for dead and drove off in a
vehicle.
--- End Quote ---
Our Ahimsa activists dropped the ball here. They should have
left him in the water at least until his face had been
underwater for many minutes.
--- Quote ---
> When tended to by emergency responders, the victim’s body
temperature was just 34 degrees, which is classed as
hypothermia.
--- End Quote ---
8 degrees would have been better.
--- Quote ---
> When interviewed by police, the Ukrainian refugee said he had
been scared the migrant group would kill him.
--- End Quote ---
Why was he not scared that he would kill the fish?
--- Quote ---
> The Swedish prosecutor handling the case accused the group of
being “together and in agreement” in their joint attack on the
truck driver and showed “special recklessness and brutality” in
their treatment of their victim.
--- End Quote ---
Not even close to the brutality showed by the fisher towards his
victims.

Orcas are ramming yachts off the Spanish coast – is the whale
world rising up?
--- Quote ---
>
>
> One explanation is that their behaviour is a reaction to past
trauma inflicted on one member of the pod by humans
>
> Recent accounts of “attacks” on vessels by orcas off the
Iberian peninsula are challenging the way we expect the natural
world to behave. Increasing in number since 2020, from northern
Portugal to the strait of Gibraltar, these incidents suggest the
need for a cetacean scene investigation team. On 4 May, in one
of the most extreme events, orcas sank a yacht.
>
> “There were two smaller orcas and one larger,” the skipper
Werner Schaufelberger told German magazine Yacht. “The little
ones shook the rudder at the back while the big one repeatedly
backed up and rammed the boat with full force from the side.”
>
> The word “attack” used in conjunction with animals is a human
judgment; their actions are more likely to be defensive. But
there is definitely something strange going on. Andrew Sutton,
an experienced underwater photographer with whom I work and who
is familiar with these particular orca pods, has noted them
“doing weird things” in the strait, including “whacking rudders
off and annoying fishermen”.
>
> Dr Alfredo López Fernandez, of GTOA, told me that they have
two hypotheses. One, the orcas “have invented something new and
repeat it. This behaviour matches the profile of juveniles.” Or
that it is a “response to an adverse situation; one or several
individuals have had a bad experience and are trying to stop the
boat so as not to repeat it. This behaviour coincides with the
profile of adults.”
>
> Either way, it is an astonishing notion. Dr López Fernandez
and his team have named, generically, the interacting orcas
Gladis (after their original scientific name, Orca gladiator).
They suspect an individual, Gladis Blanca, initiated this
behaviour after a “critical moment of agony”, perhaps as a
result of collison with a vessel; she also has a young daughter,
born in 2021. Other Gladis whales have been entangled with
fishing gear or suffered lacerations and even amputations. “All
this has to make us reflect on the fact that human activities
are at the origin of this behaviour.”
>
> Part of me is secretly excited at this idea of nature fighting
back. According to the charity Whale and Dolphin Conservation,
at least 174 orcas have died in captivity since 1961, having
been forced to swim aimlessly about in overgrown swimming pools
without any of the peer interaction that defines them.
>
> I felt I’d given up all notion of being a “superior” animal.
Instead, I was part of this interaction of three cultures: orca,
sperm whale and human. Orcas, not us, are probably the most
successful mammal on Earth. They’ve been around in their evolved
state for 6m years, and are present in every ocean. They have no
known predator. Except us.
>
> I’ve no idea if the Iberian orcas are expressing a struggle
for survival as we deplete their food sources and pollute their
environment. Or just playing with us. But when Ranil
Nanayakkara, the scientist with us on the boat, pulled up his
underwater microphone after the orcas had gone, he discovered it
had been bitten off.

incident. The larger orca repeatedly rammed the side of the
ship, while the smaller orcas targeted the rudder.

June, aggressive encounters with orcas off the Iberian coast

Re: It Was Not "Blacks" Who Invented Pervert Stoicism
Philosophy
DIR By: 2ThaSun

If Westerners such as Ghandi walked upon an innocent person
being mugged in an alley Ghandi would throw up his arms in
protest and yell "STOP!", and then walk away leaving the victim
to fight off the mugger all by themselves. This is what
"non-violent" actually means. Ghandi would then praise himself
for his "compassion". An anti-violent person would blow the
muggers brains out on the spot...
Gandhi the Philosopher
--- Quote ---
> Better known as the face of non-violent protest, Gandhi was
also a surprising, subtle philosopher in the Stoic tradition.
--- End Quote ---
--- Quote ---
> Was Mahatma Gandhi a philosopher? He would not have thought so
himself. But I want to show that he was a model for philosophy
in the philosophical subtlety of his accounts of non-violence
and in his thinking on a vital kind of freedom. Gandhi was full
of surprises: in his defence of concrete particularity in ethics
when exceptionless rules cannot guide conduct; in his openness
to views from other cultures; and in his exemplary response to
criticism, which was welcomed, promulgated without being
distorted, treated with disconcerting wit, and used to lead to a
radical re-thinking of his own views.
>
> Of course, Gandhi (1869-1948) is known for his belief in
non-violence, which included, but was by no means confined to,
non-violent resistance to the British rulers of India. But it is
less well-known that he rejected the non-violence he had heard
of in India. Although the most important influence in his life
was the Jain faith, on non-violence, he preferred the second
most important influence – Leo Tolstoy. He thought, rightly or
wrongly, that the Indian view he knew did not sufficiently mind
someone else treading on a beetle, so long as one kept oneself
pure by not treading on it oneself. Gandhi saw his early self as
a votary of violence. It was the Russian
[b][JUDEO-CHRISTIAN]-Christian writer, Tolstoy, who converted
Gandhi to non-violence,[/b] a fact that shows his openness to
views from other cultures...

Although deputies shot him, Young survived the encounter and
walked free after his acquittal on the attempted murder charge.

scares me that a Karen will attack someone and be able to walk
away or possibly I could be detained questioned possibly even
arrested, depending of the police dept., for defending myself.
Are we supposed to ignore these type of people and let them harm
us. You see it's not only physically damaging to us but
emotionally as well, I don't know that I could do that out of
fear of being hurt. Probably would have done the same thing if
she walked up on me using that type of negative,derogatory,
language. It causes inherited ptsd from our ancestors history
of having dealt with even worse abuse from the great great
relatives of the past racist Karen and ken's relatives.
