Fuck a title.

vine #2: “Americans drive on that side of the road. But in England, on this side of the road, you sit here and [shouting] DO FUCKING NOTHING.”

vine #3: “Do you wanna live in London? Do you wanna live life in the fast lane? [shouting] GOOD FUCKING LUCK FINDING IT AHH.”

vine #4: “Here’s another joke. So this American guy walks into a bar. Then an Australian guy walks into the bar. Then a English guy–well, he can’t [shouting] FUCKING MAKE IT.”

Hello again friends.

As I wrote in the title, this post will be illegal in Spain in less than an hour. Why? Because in 1 July of 2015 will come into effect the new “Ley de Seguridad Ciudadana”, the “Law of Citizen Security” or how the people of Spain call it LEY MORDAZA, in english GAG LAW.

This law was approved by the government with the oposition of the rest of political parties, the population of Spain and even the EU, the UN and the Greenpeace between many others because is the most agressive attack to the human rights, particularly to the right of freedom of speech.

In less than an hour doing something of the next list will be illegal among many other things:

Manifestations around the Congress and the Senate

Take photos or videos of the police, even if they are using force against the people. 

Stop an eviction

The pacific resistance

Tweet or spread information about a manifestation in Internet

Criticize the spanish monarchy

Spread information of the crimes of an accused party (like those participants of the government and politicians who now are being accused of corruption)

But the worst part is that, if you do any of those 44 new guidelines, you will be found guilty no by a proper judge but the government itself under the accusation of administrative offence, with a fine till 600.000 €

In short: this new law search the most agressive way to silence an entire population against one of the worst governments we ever had since the dictatorship of 1939.

NO A LA LEY MORDAZA #NOSOMOSDELITO

This took me a while to find

Are you even serious?

Doesn’t sound like you have ever been in a knife fight or had your life threatened in real life.

I have.

Let’s take a flashback. Cut to about 11 years ago. 19 year old me was walking out of a gas station on the wrong side of town at the wrong time at night. I was on the southeast side of Houston, Texas. I had just bought cigarettes.

That’s when I heard a revolver cock behind my head. I’ll never forget that sound. To this day I can vividly hear it in my head just by thinking about it.

Now, luckily the guy just took my wallet AND MY GODDAMN CIGARETTES and then bailed. I got lucky. I was young, unarmed, unaware of my surroundings, and vulnerable as fuck. It could have gone a lot worse for me and it has for a lot of people.

It kind of fucked me up for a while to be honest.

Now, I’m a bit older and wiser.

I guess the point I’m trying to make is that if I had to go through that again knowing what I know now, I would be armed for my protection.
