Anwar al-Awlaki

• U.S. finally succeeds at murdering its own citizen ^[pictured] without any hint of due process. (Don’t get me wrong: I have zero sympathy for al-Awlaki. I just wish he’d been dealt with legally.)

• Another reason to like Canada: Supreme Court rules that Vancouver, B.C.-based safe injection site, Insite, can stay operational and should be exempted from drug laws.

• Get ready to headdesk: NYPD officers routinely warn women to cover up to prevent being raped.

• Facebook rightfully refuses to delete rape joke pages. Disgusting speech is still free speech. Censorship is always wrong, regardless of who cries ‘foul’.
