Left In The Dark: Copper Thieves Rob Detroit Freeways Of Light
“MDOT spokesman Rob Morosi said roughly 20 percent of the lights on poles and beneath overpasses on freeways in Wayne, Oakland, Macomb and St. Clair counties are dark. ‘We are responsible for about 5,500 light poles and also about 5,000 individual lights that are installed beneath overpasses,’ Morosi told The Detroit News. ‘Right now we’re estimating 1,100 outages to those poles for a number of reasons.’ The main reason for many of the outages, according to Morosi, is copper thieves – who are stripping metal from the transformer cabinets.”

Armed thieves steal planeload of Zurich-bound diamonds and gold
“Armed thieves stole diamonds and gold worth millions of francs on Monday night at Brussels airport as the valuables were being loaded onto a Helvetic Airways plane bound for Zurich, according to media reports. The gun-wielding thieves drove onto the airport tarmac in two vehicles which tore through a fence opening shortly before 8pm, the airport said. Several Belgian media outlets reported that a Brinks armoured truck was the target of the armed robbery by eight individuals. Employees of Brinks were in the process of loading the cargo of jewels and gold on the Helvetic Airways plane. The value of the booty was estimated at more than 430 million francs.”

Julian Assange on Real Time With Bill Maher: NDAA Kill List
“WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange weighed in on the brewing controversy surrounding the Obama administration’s targeted killing program Friday night during an appearance on ‘Real Time With Bill Maher.’ Assange railed against the revelation, made by NBC News earlier this week, that the U.S. government reserves the right to extrajudicially kill U.S. citizens, as long as they are perceived to be ‘imminent’ terror threats — with ‘imminence’ being given an especially broad definition.”

Terrifying Video Demonstrates Bug-Sized Lethal Drones Being Developed By U.S. Air Force
“Yes, in a world with micro-drones, casualties of American drone strikes will likely decrease, given that we’d be directly killing targets rather than obliterating them and everything around them with a missile from the sky. But the possibility for such precisely targeted surveillance and assassination, at the hands of a virtually-untraceable little ‘bug,’ gives our government one more tool to easily evade supervision and accountability.”

Ron Paul: The Drone Threat
“While touting the success of its overseas drone program, the US administration refuses to even admit publicly that the CIA has an overseas drone program. In response to a recent ACLU Freedom of Information request regarding the existence of the CIA’s drone program, the Department of Justice responded, ‘The very fact of the existence or nonexistence of such documents is itself classified.’ How is that for government transparency? Recently, FAA stated that no armed drones would presently be permitted in US airspace. But what good are the promises of government officials when the Constitution, and especially the Fourth Amendment, has been gutted?”

Pentagon’s New High-tech Warfare Medal Draws Backlash
“The Distinguished Warfare Medal will be awarded to pilots of unmanned aircraft, offensive cyberwar experts or others who are directly involved in combat operations, but who are not physically in theater and facing the physical risks that warfare historically entails. The new medal, announced Wednesday by Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta, will have precedence over — and be worn on a uniform ahead of — the Bronze Star with Valor device, awarded to troops for specific heroic acts performed under fire in combat. It is the first new forcewide medal recognizing combat achievement since the Bronze Star was created in 1944.”

3D-printing gun site DEFCAD now attracting 3K visitors an hour, 250K downloads since launch
“Since launching in December, DEFCAD has become home to nearly 90 components, including bullet casings, pistol suppressors, and even grenade models. More significant, however, are the traffic numbers. Visitors to DEFCAD have to date downloaded over 250,000 files from the site, creator Defense Distributed announced via Twitter today. DEFCAD gets an average of 3,000 visitors per hour, representing roughly 2TB of traffic since launch, Defense Distributed founder Cody Wilson said by phone today. What all this means should be pretty clear: A whole lot of people are interested in downloading (and perhaps printing) guns.”

Elderly couple pulled over, questioned after their Buckeye car decal is mistaken for a marijuana leaf
“On the back of Jonas-Boggioni’s car was a Buckeye leaf decal, similar to the one players’ have on their helmets, and cops mistakenly thought it was marijuana leaf. After trying to explain that the sticker was not a marijuana leaf and that she and her husband were not trafficking drugs cross-country, the police advised Jonas-Boggioni to remove the sticker as to not cause any more confusion. You know, just in case there were any other moronic drug cops out there that didn’t actually know what a marijuana leaf looked like.”
