I saw a story over at americablog (I'll have look up the link) that said that the UCLA campus police have it written into their regulations that they can taser anyone engaging in passive resistance protest (i.e. sitting on the floor and not moving). Disgusting.
But? There's always a but. When this is over, can we have a big 'but' moratorium?

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Am I missing a link? "monks"and "nuns" is not showing up on my religion square. I have Christianity and Jesus but nothing links to them

Because books.
The part that bothers me the most is wondering if the cops' reaction (or that of the various people now defending them) would have been the same if the kid's name had been Jeff Smith and he'd been white.
Exactly this.
In Funny Farms news, I have only two clues left on the farm page. Help me! I need the thing that connects sheep and goat and the offshoot to the left of cowboy.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Laga, it's a different square. Lower down.
Amyliz, looks like you're missing llama and cowboyneal.

Do you want the answer or just hints, AmyLiz?
Also, what's the word directly to the right of barn that connects to a new box?

Because books.
ita, what the hell is that second one?! Word association is one thing, but it should follow some kind of logic, no?
JenP, got 'em. And you need to think of a big dinosaur kids love.
