a few weeks ago, 4 people escaped the euphemistically named “franklin county community based correctional facility,” located in a river city literally named after infamous rape & genocide enthusiast christopher columbus. regime media celebrated the recapture of 1 of them about a week ago, but 3 are yet to be found by the cops.

this escape happened against the background of the widely publicized jail escape in “new orleans” – at the time of writing, 5 of those 10 were still on the run, with at least 3 more people captured & accused of helping the freedom seekers.

until every cage is empty & every prison is ruined – death to the regime!

résumé alternatif en français, pour dingueries:

Le 23 mai, quatre détenus incarcérés de l’établissement correctionnel à sécurité minimale Colombus (dans l’Ohio) se sont fait la malle après avoir brisé une fenêtre. Le bureau du shérif du comté de Franklin a déclaré qu’il n’avait pas été informé de l’évasion avant environ une heure et demie après qu’elle se soit produite, ce que les autorités croient avoir eu lieu vers 20 h 45.

On leur souhaite bonne route !

(french-language summary was written before the recapture.)

the words below have been reposted from Unravel. note that “IU” refers to Indiana University, whose flagship campus is in the city of Bloomington.

On April 25, the anniversary of the IU student encampment beginning against the genocide of the Palestinian people by the state of Israel, I went after the Indiana State Police. One year after they first raided the encampment I spread carpet nails outside the Monroe County barracks, intending to damage the tires of police vehicles.

We cannot moderate the negative effects of policing through better training and laws. That is what empowers the police to threaten and carry out their violence. We don't want them to do their job “more appropriately,” “more effectively,” or “more properly.” Join the fight against the police. Join the fight against every state.

It is worth remembering that U.S. law enforcement officers, including police chiefs, as well as homeland security, border patrol and ICE executives, often train with Israeli police, army and security officials. They have the same program. It is also materially impossible for the state and capital to police the whole social terrain. Look for the gaps.
