Immigrants Now Paid To Learn Swedish

Swedish integration minister, Nyamko Sabuni
On Wednesday, a new law takes effect in Sweden that will pay immigrants taking state-funded Swedish language classes up to almost 2,000 U.S. dollars, tax-free, for completing the program within a year.
Running this incentive program is expected to cost over 10 million U.S. dollars and has come under strong criticism from teachers and researchers for patronizing students.

Burlington, VT, Sept. 4 (ECM)--Challenging the popular belief that racial and ethnic minorities are the most oppressed segments of American society the National Coalition for the Homeless, in its August 2010 report on Hate Crimes Against the Homeless, declared: “Violent, often fatal, attacks on homeless Americans now outnumber all other categories of hate crimes combined.”

Homeless increasingly targeted for hate crimes

MODESTO, Calif. ― Modesto police called the attacks cowardly, random and unprovoked.

Two 55-year-old homeless men ― severely beaten, bloodied and unconscious ― were found lying in public bathrooms at Modesto's Enslen and Graceada parks in June 2008.

Police arrested 23-year-old Michael Boogie Anthony Hardwick Jr., of Modesto, for the crime. He was sentenced in April to six years in prison.

"They didn't have anything. They were homeless," Deputy District Attorney Wendell Emerson said of the victims. "I think it was just a cruel crime where he just picked vulnerable victims who couldn't fight back."
New data show homeless people nationwide were singled out in more than 1,000 attacks over the last 11 years by perpetrators motivated by anti-homeless hostility and a perception of their victims as easy targets.

Last year was the deadliest in a decade for hate crimes against the homeless, with 43 people killed, according to the report by the National Coalition for the Homeless. That's an increase from 27 killings in 2008.

The Washington, D.C.-based advocacy group chronicled such brutal crimes as homeless people doused with gasoline and set on fire and others beaten with aluminum baseball bats, golf clubs or pipes. The research showed some assailants killed merely for the sport of it ― a "thrill kill" in police slang.

快楽殺人にも似たスリル殺人で、楽しいから殺す、といった類のものであるようである。
　ヘイトクライムというから憎悪が動機というように見えるが、人種差別を動機としても、性的嗜好を動機としても、それらの人は社会的弱者だから、要するに弱い者いじめ、を激化したようなものなのかもしれない。

　異者×弱者→いじめ、といったところか？

No charges in Ariz. inmate's death in cage
(AP) –

PHOENIX ― There will be no criminal charges following the heat-related death of an Arizona inmate who collapsed in an outdoor cage last year.
Bill Fitzgerald, a spokesman for the Maricopa County Attorney's Office, said Wednesday there wasn't enough evidence to prosecute the case.
Fitzgerald says the Department of Corrections had recommended charges against seven officials.
Inmate Marcia Powell died in May 2009 after she was left for nearly four hours in an unshaded outdoor cage. An autopsy report showed she had first- and second-degree burns and a core body temperature of 108 degrees.
Administrators fired, suspended or otherwise disciplined 16 corrections employees over Powell's death.
Powell was serving a 27-month sentence for prostitution.

“They’re terrible. They’re the biggest loan sharks in the world right now. If you’re late on a payment, they’ll harass you,” he added.

This harassing will never go away – college debt owners cannot eliminate their debt by filing for bankruptcy.

Max Fraad Wolff explained, “Your housing debt, your car debt, your credit card debt – if you go bankrupt, it gets wiped away. You literally cannot get out of your student debt. If you decide you can’t pay it – too bad. Student loan debt is special and it’s specially sticky and hard to get rid of”.

'Trafficking victims' rescued in Belfast brothel raids

The women were rescued from city centre apartments
Police have said a number of "potential victims of human trafficking" have been rescued in raids on suspected brothels in Belfast.

"Men and women are being tricked or forced into prostitution in major towns and cities.

"They are being robbed of their liberty, stripped of their dignity, and suffer intolerable conditions as unwilling emblems of the sex trade.

"This is modern day slavery where human beings are treated like commodities by sophisticated organised crime gangs who are making substantial criminal profits from the sex trade."
