"Nihilism in Russia, Communism in Germany, and in France, Irish contention in Great Britain and Abolitionism (another term for Communism) in the United States, are only synonyms for resistance by the people to the tyranny and corruption of the Government."

"The parasite of Russia is not Nihilism but the tyrant Czar, who stands between the people and the Reforms demanded by the Nihilists, who are the oppressed struggling under the accumulated burdens of a thousand years of misrule and tyranny."

Haven't read this ruling yet, but the problem is getting to the courts in the first place. If the local and state police, county attorney and state attorney general (as in Iowa) all work in collusion to fake an independent "investigation" , then where is the possibility for justice?

The first image is about the death of my great great grandfather, Pope Searcy. In the same issue of the Grenada Sentinel, I just discovered the editorial in the second, in favor of the "Anti-Pistol" law, referencing the shoot out that killed him.
