Take it down

Putting pictures of this up is just helping the police.
Take them down, and think before you hand over better coverage then CCTV will ever give to the police.

I was one of the people who kicked in the window of Starbucks on Shaftsbury Avenue, but I don't think that the police stand a hope in hell of ever catching me, why? Because I am now back in my home country of Iran! Iran stands by Gaza and the Palestinian people!

It's obviously good to block out the faces but the police will just match the clothes of the people shown in these photos with their own pics from the FIT teams. Why make the cops task easier? We don't need to see these kind of pics here. A broken window is good enough!

Blocking people's faces is essential

but I've discovered by using MS Paint I can simply cut people's face out of photographs making it next to impossible for the police to identify people no matter how many algorythims they have.

Starbucks-Israel link is a hoax

21.01.2009 13:45

Why are Starbucks outlets being targeted by anti-Israel proptestors? The Israel-Starbucks connection is a myth. The Schultz letter that claimed that drinking Starbucks coffee supported Israel is a hoax. It orignated as a spoof from an Australian activist iirc. Starbucks do not fund Israel. These attacks on Starbuks premises are wholly irrational and wantonly destructive. They serve no purpose.

Sure, the spoof letter about the Starbucks CEO funding Israel is a hoax, we all know that.

But he is certainly a big supporter of US-Israeli links, there is no dispute about that.

For some people, that is enough for them to target Starbucks.

I say: Starbucks are scum anyway, so the more people that target them, the better!
