Many of you have likely heard about the bombing at the Boston Marathon today. I’ve created this downloadable wallpaper to raise money to benefit the victims. All money raised will be evenly distributed between Boston Children’s Hospital and Red Cross of Boston. You can donate here.
Please spread the word, not only for this one, but for all charitable endeavors, including blood donation. The people of Boston need our help. Let’s give it to them.

Washington Post: Grand jury rejects criminal charges in death of Robert Saylor, man with Down syndrome
Robert Saylor, a 26-year-old man with Down syndrome, sat in a movie theatre after having watched a movie, acting as if he was going to sit through the movie again without buying another ticket.That prompted three police officers to kill him.Friday, a grand jury determined that no crime was committed, even though his death was ruled a homicide.

He was suffocated as three officers struggled to handcuff him and drag him out of the theater. A movie ticket probably costs $11.

The court system is corrupt.

As someone with a developmentally disabled brother who I try my best to look out for this kind of thing gives me nightmares. I am physically nauseous thinking about my little brother in this scenario.
This is murder. Plain and simple. Cut and fucking dry.
