It's the typical case of using power to exploit the poor and bribing them to get away with anything.

In Pune porsche crash case, the accused's grandfather told the family driver to take the blame for the accident and threatened him against speaking about the matter to anyone and now has been arrested.

Alarm as German climate activists charged with ‘forming a criminal organisation’

“This is the first time in German history that a climate protest group that uses measures of peaceful civil disobedience is charged as a criminal organisation."

“Paragraph 129 of the German criminal code is to combat organised crime. Its application to non-violent protest criminalises civic engagement and thus restricts democratic freedoms."

“This charge is especially dangerous for democracy and the right to peaceful protest because the charge turns the constitutional right of protest, freedom of speech and political assembly into a crime simply because some laws were broken in course of civil disobedient protest."

Sometimes people take politics too personally, eventually resorting to violence but the question is whether violence is justified during the time of elections?

Nearly half of voters across a group of swing-states said they expect violence around the upcoming presidential election, according to a new poll.

Given the fact that Trump threw a coup when he lost last time, it seems inevitable that there'll be more violence this time.

“Mr. #Altman even insinuated that the similarity was intentional, tweeting a single word ‘#her’ - a reference to the film in which I voiced a chat system…” #ScarlettJohansson’s statement continued.

The “Sky” voice was one of 5 voices #OpenAI unveiled in September when it added an audio conversation mode. WaPo noted at the time that “#Sky” sounded similar to Johansson.
