Von einer der Briefbomben verletzt wurde Silvana Meixner. Sie wirkte mit am Aufbau der Minderheitenredaktion des ORF (Österreichischer Rundfunk) und präsentiert die Sendereihe "Heimat Fremde Heimat".
Hier moderiert Silvana Meixner den Beitrag vom 8. 5. 2016:

Franz Fuchs committed series of attacks with letter bombs between 1993 and 1996. It was racist motivated. My boss at that time was a Hungarian immigrant, so we were potential victims and we were aware of that. No such letter was sent to us and so our hands remained unharmed. But 4 people died and 15 were injured - permanent injuries, some very heavily injured, one lost both hands.
Zur Zeit der rassistisch motivierten Anschlagsserien des Franz Fuchs ( = BBA Bajuwarische Befreiungsarmee) war ich an einem Theater engagiert, dessen Direktor ein ungarischer Immigrant war, also ins Opferschema des Franz Fuchs paßte. Neben meinen Hauptaufgaben Regieassistenz, Licht und Ton, Inspizienz, Requisiten etc., mußte ich auch immer wieder im Büro aushelfen, hatte also auch mit der Korrespondenz zu tun. Wir erhielten keine Briefbombe, die Hände des Direktors, des Sekretärs und auch meine blieben unverletzt, Durch die Briefbomben wurden zum Teil nicht die Adressaten selber, sondern deren Mitarbeiter, zu deren Aufgabenbereich das Öffnen der Briefe gehört, verletzt - so zum Beispiel beim Brief an eine meiner Studienkolleginnen: Arabella Kiesbauer (dunkelhäutig, da ihr Vater Ghanaer ist): ihre Assistentin wurde verletzt als sie ihre Arbeit verrichtete und den Brief öffnete. Einige Briefe konnten auch abgefangen werden, so etwa der an Angela Resetarits, der Mutter von Lukas Resetarits und Willy Resetarits (Professor Kurt Ostbahn) adressierte. Insgesamt 4 Tote, 15 Verletzte, schwere Verletzungen, bleibende Verletzungen, einer verlor beide Hände.
Mein Mitgefühl gilt den Opfern, meine Dankbarkeit den Aufklärern der Tat, meine Hochachtung all jenen, die sich aktiv gegen Rassismus wenden, die sich aktiv gegen Intoleranz und Ignoranz, also gegen Anschauungen wie "some things and people count, most don`t" wenden.

We are all racist when we turn our back on God.
We say.
I know better than you!
I am better than you!
You don't exist!
I hate you!
I won't listen to you!
IS'NT THAT WHAT WE SAY TO PEOPLE.
I hate you because your black, or white, or green or purple.
I am better than you!
You don't exist!
I know better than you!
the truth is that God had one plan.
God made man and woman.
We don't know if Adam was green purple yellow or orange.
We don't know if Eve had red, black, brown or silver hair.
All we know is that God made man from all of earth's elements and Eve from Adam's rib.
Last time I looked the earth was every color that we could imagine.
Last time I looked at Eve she was part of the earth.
Stop turning away from God. Both turn towards the Creator and there will be no more of these issues. Until then enjoy racism.

Après une étude approfondie de ces volatiles dans les rues de la ville, deux conclusions s'imposent : - les pigeons ne sont pas racistes
- les pigeons apprécient l'art
I'm personally for imprisonment, though, because I wouldn't wish Trump on any other country.

This racist cop is ticketing this cab for an expired meter even though she knows the driver is in the mosk across the street enjoying an afternoon pray. This has been going on for years, cops target muslims at prayer for an easy ticket. Where is the freedom of religion promised in the constitution?
So, today I decided to go on the Freedom Trail in Boston. As many of you now, 7-11 allows you to pick either a McCain or Obama to put your coffee in. I chose the McCain cup and got a ridiculous amount of dirty looks all day. It was expected though because everyone knows that Massachusetts is a super liberal state and it's been mostly Democratic for God knows how long. However, I was tying my shoe on a bench and I had my McCain 7-11 Coffee Cup a couple of benches over. The person who happened to be an African American woman in her late thirties, proceded to say, "I wonder what racist left their McCain cup on the bench." I don't think she realized that it was me though because I was a few benches away from it. I didn't say... anything because I was in shock/disgusted at what had happened. Not to mention I was practicing James 3 and I didn't want to cause a scene in the middle of Boston.
I didn't know that ignorance and racism ran so rampid in Boston. I was so sad after this happened. I know that this is not always what happens and that this is not the case, but it's not the first time someone has asked if I'm racist because I'm not going for Obama. Ridiculous... just ridiculous. Apparently, if you don't vote for Obama... you're a racist? What the heck is America getting to.
This is Today (107).
This was taken over the summer in 1969 at the Latham's home in Northern Virginia. Our two families have been close friends forever. Joe's father -- called "Uncle Bob", usually derisively, by everyone, including his own children -- was one of my two godfathers in the Episcopal church. Uncle Bob was an unabashed racist who wore a "S.P.O.N.G.E." button on his lapel for an entire session of school; asked what the acronym meant, he'd reply, "The Society for the Prevention Of Negroes from Getting Everything." That kind of racist. My godfather.
Mrs. Latham I loved, though. "Ella". Petite, elegantly-dressed, refined, and cuter than a bucket of bunnies (Joe and I are seated in her parlor in the photo above). Ella looked like a freckled, matronly version of Debbie Reynolds. The last time I saw her was at a memorial service for Uncle Bob at Episcopal High School in 1987 where I managed to get a really lovely photo of her greeting Mr. Callaway, who had just delivered a brief, but elegant summary of Uncle Bob's career.
(Mr. Callaway was 99 at the time and had taught geometry at the school from 1915-85, when he was forced to retire because he was getting blind. After taking the picture of him and Ella Latham, I walked up to him and told him who I was -- I hadn't seen him since the school's memorial service for my dad in 1968. "Well, Willie!" he exclaimed. "You live in Texas now, don't you? And Ruthie...she's in Washington, DC? She still work for The Smithsonian Magazine? I thought so. Alicia, Alicia's...let's see Alicia's living with that divorce lawyer, I think. And your mother's in Charleston?" I was dumbstruck by this old man's knowledge of the current events in the lives of people he knew and loved but never saw anymore.)
Joe dropped out of school when his girlfriend, a folksinger, got pregnant. He was a gifted guitarist, but became widely known among musicians as a brilliant guitar maker. His pearl inlays are considered second to none. One night in '73 Buffy Sainte Marie came to have a drink at the bar I worked in Nashville (she had a White Russian if anyone asks) and during the course of the evening asked me where I was from. I told her that, until I'd moved to Nashville after graduation from college, I'd lived my whole life in Alexandria, Va.
"Alexandria? Do you know Joe Latham?" Her companion thought I was lying when I said I'd grown up with him, but I knew enough details about Joe to convince them otherwise.
Joe's younger sister Sarah was a year younger than my sister Ruthie. She became an antiques dealer and appraiser after graduating from college. I was watching 'Antiques Roadshow" one night on PBS and saw Sarah expertly appraise some guy's antique wooden cabinet for him. I later heard from Ruthie that Sarah dropped any further connection with the show after the exposure of a "Roadshow" scandal, involving another appraiser and a collector's rigging the appraisal of some old handguns on the show. The segment was later removed from the program's future broadcasts, but Sarah apparently felt that the program's integrity had been compromised and wanted to disassociate herself from it completely.
Among Joe's musician friends was Janis Joplin. The summer of 1969 he got word from her that she was going to drop by his shop in Alexandria after a concert in Georgetown in Washington, DC, just 8 miles away. He invited me and my girlfriend Kitty (who was studying drama in DC that summer) and some other friends to come over that night to meet her; we waited for about three hours outside his shop, but she never showed.

According to this article, hate crimes rise by up to 100 per cent across England and Wales. Just wondering, how many people would still vote for Brexit if they knew that food prices will go up, but all foreigners will be staying in the country?
Botany Bay Social Primitive
Standing within a political junction
In the footsteps of mass transportation
For the public good
And the complicated machinery of engineering a coexisting place
Racist stereotypes used to justify colonial conquest
To establish our newfound enlightenment
As a legitimate entity
As settlers obscuring the travesty of invasion

STOP Being Racist - is the message on a public electrical box on Broadway in own town Los Angeles! Artist Unknown !
As racist as it may sound, Glenn is my favorite character, whether its cause were both Asian or not, I don't know, but I just love him so much and I was very disappointed at his "death" and overjoyed at his survival and I always thought making walking dead figures are just too simple and not really that hard I figured why not. You'll probably see Daryl and negan. On almost every Lego custom Glenn his eyes are normal size, Well coming from an Asian, lets be frank for an accurate mini figure they're not normal sized. I used a concept Lego used on short round and another Asian mini fig and its a perfect balance between racist prick and accurate figure. Also in the background my completed Avatar aang, Zuko, Goku, And Deadpool.

There wasn't a major event in Chicago this weekend but I was heartened to see that the people standing up against hate in Boston and other cities massively outnumbered the neo-Nazis. I will continue to protest of the neo-Nazis hold a rally in Chicago.
I have a few thoughts about some recent events and, as I wait for the eclipse, I just wanted to get some of it out.
First, the title of this photo is a major chant of this movement from day one. It was shouted when the day after the "election" It was shouted on Not My President's Day. It was shouted at the Women's March. It was proclaimed at the March For Truth, The Tax March, the LGBQT March, the Muslim Ban protests, the Inauguration protests, the Science March.
I feel like the conversation liberals have constantly had with centrists and conservatives kind of goes like this...
Liberal: Trump is actually a nazi.
Centrist/Conservative: You can't believe that! He has a son in law who is Jewish! He can't be a nazi!
Liberal: His parents were both proud to be KKK members and he has appointed and supported white power neo-Nazis in his cabinet. This Muslim ban is the first step in a long agenda.
Centrist/Conservative: Oh, no, the Muslim ban is just to keep us safe.
Liberal: Explain to me how it keeps us safe. Did you ever stop to look at how the countries not banned are those that have business transactions with Trump whether or not they have a record of terrorism?
Centrist/Conservative: I haven't really looked into it...
Liberal: And, how do you think Muslim grandparents are exactly endangering this country?
Centrist /Conservative: I haven't really been paying attention...
Liberal: And what about the sharp increase in hate crimes that are occurring across America...how is that keeping anyone safe or making American Great Again?
Centrist/Conservative: I've just been really busy to look into it.
Ok, so I actually had a conversation like that as early as February. FEBRUARY. It's now August.
Second, sometimes people talk about how the media is so negative against Trump vs. how it's the job of journalists to hold our elected leaders accountable and get information out to us. Sometimes, I applaud journalists in their ability to do this but I am very frustrated over the media picking up on this self proclaimed "Free Speech Rally"
Let me tell you how I see free speech...I see it as if you have something to say that doesn't harm anyone, you can say it. But, if your idea of free speech is you bring weapons, beat up and murder people then that interferes quite a bit with another Constitutional Right: Life, Liberty, and Pursuit of Happiness. So, it's not on governments where even the police force doesn't have your same level of weaponry to allow you a platform to proclaim hate speech and commit bodily harm on those who don't agree with you. Governments are supposed to keep all of their citizens safe. The police force in Charlottesville allowed people to be murdered and badly beaten under their watch because they were outnumbered and terrified. The same kinds of things started happening in Germany leading up to WWII. I was recently glad to see the ACLU proclaim they weren't going to defend dangerous hate speech but it's also important that the media does not call these "Free Speech Rallies" but instead calls them "Neo Nazi Rallies." Call these people what they are and call their rallies what they are.
Third, I hate to say this one. Thanks Heather Heyer....you were brave and courageous and just and you did the right thing. Heather Heyer's mother also has a sense of dignity not acknowledging Trump's phone calls after his "both sides" comment. However, I have a sinking suspicion in my heart that if Heather Heyer had been a woman of color, Trump never would have even acknowledged her. I know this because of the many women and men of color who have lost their lives simply for being who they are who have not been acknowledged and used to galvanize a movement. Take the example of Nabra Hassanen, for instance, a young teenager who was murdered leaving an IHOP earlier this year. Did she get a tweet acknowledging her life and this grave injustice? Of course not, because she was killed because she was Muslim. Many of our beautiful Americans who are trans also do not get acknowledgement when they are murdered and many of them are men and women of color. So let's stop deluding ourselves with saying that black lives actually do matter in our country. They don't. People are getting arrested for taking down shitty racist statues but the nazis who brutally attacked Deandre Harris in Charlottesville haven't been charged even though there is tons of video evidence of their crimes.
Fourth, there are a few people who suddenly claim "art" and "history" as a reason for wanting to keep a bunch of poorly constructed racist statues. These people only seem to want to honor a certain history supporting an erroneous narrative that the Civil War was about states rights when it was very much about slavery. These deluded fools don't seem to care much for history when they are ruining sacred Native American grounds, stealing their artifacts, poisoning their water. Perhaps, it would be more accurate to state they really care about "White history and art." Now, that seems highly likely. But, if it's history and art that define a culture, I don't want a bunch of deplorable statues defining mine. How about we create a narrative of hope and strength around Harriet Tubman, Sojourner Truth, Maya Angelou, Frederick Douglass, Ralph Ellison, Langston Hughes...how about these statues are replaced with pioneers for just causes and we replace all the confederate flags with rainbow flags to show we are not divided by the color of our skin or who we love?
Fifth and Last, I have been glad to see some members of the GOP come out over the past week and say they don't agree with white supremacy and Trump's racist comments but I would like to remind them that actions speak louder of words. When you try time and time again to take away healthcare from millions of Americans, you're not targeting rich white people. When you try to take away any funds for helping poor African Americans get through college, that's racist. When you make sure that the pubic education system is a dismal failure by making sure that public schools don't have libraries, music, art, social workers, and funds for kids who speak English as a second language or who have disabilities and you target specifically poor urban areas, who exactly do you think you are claiming not to be racist? When you support the National Rifle Association, a racist organization that seeks to arm white power advocates just because they have lobbyists who give you kickbacks, who are you to claim you aren't racist? When you support incarceration of minorities for minor crimes like possession of marijuana, who are you to claim you aren't racist? When you support ensuring that those who have entered this country never have a chance to become citizens, who are you to claim you aren't racist? When you support a privatized prison industrial complex that preys upon minorities and introduces a modern system of slavery right before our eyes, who are you to claim you aren't racist.
Dear GOP-you are just as racist as your leader. You have proven it time and time again.
To Sum:
"Free Speech Rallies"=Neo Nazi Rallies.
Liberals have been aware of how harmful Trump is right from the beginning and trying to warn the rest of the country. Please listen instead of claiming we're just reactionaries. There are actual nazis marching in the streets. This is NOT ok.
Black Lives still don't matter to the powers that be in this country.
Confederate Monuments perpetuate harmful myths and are racist.
The GOP should not fool you into thinking they are not racist until they start legislating a whole lot differently.

I was sitting here minding my own business with a friend when the country silence was broken by the ice cream truck, but it didn't have the usual song I'm used to hearing. It drove past us and my friend said that's the racist ice cream jingle....
Someone still had that song in their ice cream truck, and considering we were in all black neighborhood, that made this extra bizarre.

Took some pics today and this was one.
For the two hostages who died in the Sydney siege, a couple of hours ago.
I've just watched the event unfold live on telly.
The terrorist was also killed, but no flowers for him.
I have no succinct words to describe such a being who comes to a new country and abuses the freedom handed to him.
I can still remember the last time I strolled down Martin Place, with a very dear Israeli work friend and her husband.
Gosh, that could've been sometime in the 80's..
They had me in stitches, telling me funny stories as we came up the steps from the underground railway out into the sunshine of a beautiful day, filled with hundreds of people, busy going along the newly renovated piazza style street where the Cenotaph had been revamped and held pride of place.
The Cenotaph, the most significant war memorial in Sydney, where masses gather to honour the fallen on those important days and reflect on their sacrifice for our freedom.
How things have changed.
I miss my beloved Sydney, but it's one of those days I appreciate that I live so far from it.
This has been coming at us for decades over which our larrikin humour has been muted, our right to stand up has been rebuked, our own freedom of speech and lifestyle have softened, warped and pulverised by political correctness, lest we upset any newcomers.
Like rearranging our home to suit a stranger who visits, so they will like us better.
I will conclude that I'm sick of feeling like a hostage in my own country.
Yes, I have plenty more to say.
No edits on the pic, but massively on the comm.
And no, I am not a racist.
But so much for LEST WE FORGET …
=======================================================
Forgot to say there's no edits, no tripod, just hand held & straight outta the camera. SOOC…
=======================================================
We got our Mom a new Nikon S630 digital camera for Mother's Day and I
was playing with it during the Angels game we were at on Sunday.
As I was taking pictures of my family, it kept asking "Did someone
blink?" even though our eyes were always open.
Sheesh! RACIST! :P

I acquired this little antique made-in-Japan monkey girl vase from the estate of a family friend's mother and have had it sitting around for decades. It's silly and cute and yeah, it looks pretty frickin' racist to me. I hate the racist part but I kinda love the little vase. Philosophical quandry!

Racist murders in Hanau: The night the world stood still
Taken from: Berliner Zeitung, by Tanja Brandes, 19.2.2021
www.berliner-zeitung.de/en/racist-murders-in-hanau-the-ni...
On 19 February 2020, a man shot nine people. The families of the victims have lived with the pain and many unanswered questions ever since.
Hanau - When Ajla Kurtović was getting ready for bed on the evening of 19 February 2020, she received a text about an alleged robbery – or perhaps a shooting – in the city centre. Kurtović exchanged a few brief messages with her father before going to sleep.
The next morning Kurtović's phone was full of messages, she told this newspaper almost a year later. Her father called and told Ajla that her brother Hamza had been shot the previous night. The injuries were only minor. Hamza was in hospital, but it was unclear which hospital. Her father and mother were waiting at the police station.
When Ajla Kurtović arrived at the station, her parents still didn't know Hamza's whereabouts.
Only later did Ajla Kurtović and her family find out what happened. Shortly before 10pm, 43-year-old Tobias R. shot three men in two different bars in the city centre before getting into his car and driving to Kurt-Schumacher-Platz in Hanau's Kesselstadt district. There he shot six more people in the street, in a bar and in a kiosk, before driving home. In the early hours of 20 February, tip-offs led the police to the perpetrator's home, where they found the shooter's body. He had killed his mother and then himself.
Why was Tobias R. able to keep on killing?
In the early morning of 20 February, the Kurtović family was waiting for news. At some point, Ajla Kurtović says, her voice trembling for a moment, someone read out a list of the victims of the shooting. Among them was the name of her brother, Hamza Kurtović. He was 22 years old.
"For us, the world stopped at that moment," said his sister.
One year later, the world is still turning but it isn't moving for Ajla Kurtović. She, her family and the relatives of the other victims still do not know what exactly happened that night. Although the course of events has been reconstructed, so many questions remain unanswered, too many to be able to somehow come to terms with the horrific crime.
Why was the perpetrator able to get into his car after he had already shot three people, drive to the next crime scene and continue killing there? How could it be that the police emergency number did not work properly on the night of the mass shooting? How did a mentally ill person legally acquire weapons? The psychiatric report certified the 43-year-old's paranoid schizophrenia after the crime, and it was revealed he had already been treated once for schizophrenic psychosis in a psychiatric hospital. Nevertheless, Tobias R. was able to join a gun club.
One of the most pressing questions for Ajla Kurtović and her family is: Why did it take so long until they were allowed to see Hamza? "Why weren't we told right away that night which hospital my brother was in?" asks Ajla Kurtović. That, she says, was "inhumane". Moreover, she says, the police continued to keep her parents' hopes alive throughout the night. "Even in the morning they told my parents: 'Your son is only slightly injured, don't worry.' When in fact Hamza had passed away shortly after midnight." In fact, a whole week passed before Ajla, her siblings and her parents would be able to see deceased Hamza again - in the forensics department.
Autopsy without the consent of the family
Armin Kurtović, Ajla's and Hamza's father, has serious accusations. An autopsy was performed on his son without the required family consent, and without giving his parents and siblings a chance to say goodbye to him beforehand. Armin Kurtović only saw his son again after the autopsy. "They slit open my son – I will never forget that sight for the rest of my life," Kurtović said in an interview with Deutschlandfunk radio.
Andreas Jäger is the victims' representative for the city of Hanau. He has accompanied the families of those murdered over the past year, helped them make contact with the authorities, helped them organise a move when the proximity to the crime scene became unbearable. And above all, he has listened. He too has said that official requests submitted to the police have fallen flat.
For Jäger, as well, the crime remains incomprehensible one year later. "When I heard about the attack on the morning of 20 February, my first thought was: 'That didn't happen here. People don't get shot in Hanau.'" You can't prepare for something like that as a city, said Jäger. "It is still unimaginable to me that someone from Hanau would shoot other Hanauers."
As incomprehensible as the act is - it did not come unannounced.
Days before, the perpetrator had already published a 24-page manifesto filled with racist fantasies and conspiracy theories on his website. It has also been proven that he had filed criminal charges containing paranoid, extreme-rightwing conspiracy theories with the Federal Prosecutor General's Office and the Hanau Public Prosecutor's Office in November 2019. Even then investigators assumed he had a mental illness.
When I heard about the attack on the morning of 20 February, my first thought was: 'That doesn't happen here. People don't get shot in Hanau.
The victims' relatives cannot understand how a mentally ill man was allowed to legally possess weapons. And they cannot understand why no action was taken although the perpetrator had announced his intentions on the internet. And the fact that media outlets speculated on the night of the attack that it had been a Milieutat - a feud within the immigrant community - rather than a murder.
Ajla Kurtović and the other relatives of the victims are still waiting for tangible political consequences. Immigrant associations and anti-racism organisations are also calling for a more comprehensive investigation of the crime.
Liisa Pärssinen, head of the Response, a counselling centre for victims of far-right, racist and antisemitic violence, says that support provided by the state of Hesse to the families of victims has been inadequate. "The victims' relatives are hardly listened to and they have to fight hard for help themselves," says Pärssinen. The financial resources provided are insufficient, and not enough therapists are available to adequately care for the survivors and the victims' relatives. Response is calling for a special fund for victims of rightwing violence.
Sociologist and rightwing extremism researcher Matthias Quent believes that the authorities, the media and politicians have learned something since the attack in Hanau. "Racism is now called by its name," Quent says. But even one year later, the realisation that the NSU murders and the assassination of politician Walter Lübcke as well as the attacks in Hanau and Halle were the consequences of institutional racism that has fostered for centuries, has still not taken hold.
"Instead, the image of a psychologically disturbed solo perpetrator is often spread, the 'lone wolf' who acts out of his delusions." Since the attack on Hanau, the federal government has presented an 89-point plan to fight rightwing extremism and racism. "That at least means that there is recognition that racism is a problem for society as a whole," says Quent. "A problem that we as a society have to solve."
Still no apology from the police
Ajla Kurtović says that in Hanau itself the solidarity after the attack was enormous. For the most part, her complaints are not directed at the city. "The city of Hanau and the mayor stood by us," she says. A conversation with the police, on the other hand, has still not taken place, nor has there been an apology. Her questions and those of the other families remain unanswered.
This is all the more agonising because there will be no trial. The perpetrator is dead. No court will be able to clarify how the crime could have happened, where mistakes were made, what could have been prevented. Nevertheless, the victims' relatives hope to get answers at some point. She still trusts in the rule of law, Ajla Kurtović says, but this trust is being put to the test.
Her brother and the other victims had all felt safe before, before 19 February 2020, in Hanau, in their home country. Of course there was racism before the crime, says Ajla Kurtović. Also in Hanau. "I never thought that I would be personally affected by it.
The city is not at peace for another reason. The father of the murderer is said to have repeatedly insulted relatives and friends of the victims during vigils honouring the dead. According to media reports, the 73-year-old has demanded the return of his son's murder weapon from the public prosecutor's office. Both the prosecutor's office and the relatives of the victim have filed criminal complaints against him.
The families and friends of the victims of the 19 February shootings have grown closer to one another - as close as the corona pandemic permits right now. Ajla Kurtović says it helps her to meet with the siblings of the other murdered victims. "We don't have to say much. After all, they have experienced the same thing as I have. They feel the same pain."
Today, 19 February 2021, one year after a mentally ill man, driven by racism and hate, preyed on his fellow human beings and killed nine of them, Hanau will remember the victims: Hamza Kurtović, Ferhat Unvar, Said Nesar Hashemi, Vili Viorel Păun, Mercedes Kierpacz, Kaloyan Velkov, Fatih Saraçoğlu, Sedat Gürbüz and Gökhan Gültekin.
==Panessa Studios, Now==
"That was a no, was it?" Pitt finished, dressed in Cluemaster's orange jumpsuit, a yellow scarf around his neck.
'I wouldn't have thought it, but Brad does play a good Cluemaster,' Gar admitted, as he turned a dial on the console.
At the side, Booker stood mouthing his counterpart's closing words.
"A very polite one, but yes."
The director rose from his chair, running his hand through his hair. "Not bad people, great work! We'll resume after lunch."
Gar nodded, removing his headset. 'Beats working for Billings, that's for sure,' he murmured, as he made a beeline for the breakroom.
"Actually-" the director called out, "Gar, can I talk to you for a minute? I brought in a construction consultant- bit of a mouthful I know, hah. I was hoping you'd give the 101 tour, the basic lay of the land."
"Oh, uh, sure," Gar said, as he zipped his jacket up.
"Great! She'll be here in a few minutes, ok. I'll send her to you."
===My Alibi. Years Ago===
Gar opened the door with a rusty creak, taking particular notice of the sign in the front window. "Private Function."
Assembled around a round table of sorts (simply several stools pushed together) were the Misfits. As the rest of the group joked about with each other, Drury, sitting at the far end, sat fiddling with his engagement ring. *His* engagement ring. Didn't even feel real. As Chuck nudged his elbow to get his attention, his eyes lit up.
"Gar! Did you see the suits I ordered?" he yelled out cheerfully.
"Yeah, they're... colourful. You, uh, seem excited," Gar noted, scratching a patch of dry skin on his neck.
"Love them! Got the bridesmaids in mellow yellow, but us lads, the OGs, we've got purple... Nothing, uh, nothing rhymes with purple, but you get my point," Drury smiled bashfully.
"Uh, sure."
"We get to pick our own logos, right?" Chuck chimed in. "For the breast pocket."
"Oh, aye, custom made. Whatever kites, calendars or flames that take your fancy. C'mon, sit down, sit down," Drury continued, as he grabbed another stool for Gar. He didn't sit down.
"Christ, Drury, you don't even have a date set," Wist gasped, a tad off put by his enthusiasm.
"We can't all elope in Vegas, Dave," Drury chuckled.
"Ha! You'd think he'd priotise that. Fortunately," Julian began. "He has me." He continued, now turning to Drury. "Now, I know you'll want to do it on Valentine's Day, all aspiring couples do, but it's cliché. Think of all the other potential holidays. Father's Day, Mother's Day-"
"Oh, I dunno, I heard Maxie Zeus made a booking then," Blake smirked.
"An Oedipus joke, Blake? Didn't know you could read..." Fiasco murmured, handing him their next round of drinks.
"Oddie who?"
"Look," Gar growled. "I just came by to let you know... Don't worry about a plus one."
Drury frowned, and turned to the group. "... Guys, give us a minute, will ya?"
"Sure thing, Drury, see you in five," Chuck nodded, as he led the group out, the wind slamming the door shut behind them.
The duo were quiet for a minute, until Drury looked up from the table, lowering his voice. "Clair said no?"
"I didn't ask."
"Gar-" he began, resting his head in his hands, exasperated.
Gar sighed, taking his gloves off, rolling up his sleeves and pointing to his face, exposing his burn marks. "How could I, looking like this Dru?"
"I-" Drury stammered, lost for words.
"Just... give it to Blake will ya?" he groaned. "I heard he's been collecting them anyway. Something about a harem, I don't know."
Drury shook his head. "Yeah, no, that's not happening. Blake, well... He's a predator."
...
Gar's jaw opened in disgust. "*Shit.*"
"Not like that!" he added hastily. "Well, a little like *ahem* He likes to hunt, is what I meant."
'You're not helping his case," Gar smirked, as he slid onto a stool.
"I don't exactly want to!" Drury stammered back, the two of them now laughing together. As the laughter fades, Drury slides a beer along the makeshift tables and Gar catches it, the duo sipping their drinks quietly. "You'll find someone, Gar, I know it."
"Oh, yeah?" Gar sipped. "What makes you so sure?"
"Easy. I did."
"You, my friend," Gar said, "still have a face."
"Ach, well-"
"Even if it's ugly as hell."
Drury looked across the table, Gar now fully smiling. "Well, we can't *all* have your smouldering good looks," he shot back.
"I," Gar grinned, "Wasn't stupid enough to pass my genes on."
===Panessa- Break Room===
Gar looked up at the TV, frowning. Lois Lane was on a tirade about Arkham, and that, that worried him. “Today marks one year since the destruction of Arkham City claimed the lives of over 100 inmates within the open-air supermax. The man-made earthquake was triggered by a machine designed by a cabal of US elites known as the Court of Owls, and facilitated by the eco-terrorist organisation, The League of Assassins. Reports on the League have been sparse; it is understood that most perished during The Society’s assault on their stronghold this past summer. The Society, a union of over two-hundred supervillains of varying levels of notoriety, was itself fragmented during the three-way confrontation between themselves, the League of Assassins, and the Justice League in the Hindu Kush Valley. Most of its leadership, including Bane, are presently incarcerated in Slabside Penitentiary, the remote metahuman prison in the South Pole. Several questions remain; how many Society members are still out there? And is Slabside Penitentiary secure enough to keep the rest contained? Doubtful. Earlier this year, Slabside was the site of Mayor Marion Grange’s death at the hands of Onomatopoeia, who at the time was meant to be securely locked away in the prison's east wing. This is Lois Lane on behalf of The Daily Planet, signing off.”
‘Drury, wherever you are, I hope you’re not watching,’ he thought, glancing over to the trio of Injustice Leaguers in the corner, clearly enjoying their newfound success- even if it was born from their ridicule.
"We're big, right?" Disaster was saying. "Why don't we get our own trailers? Or personal assistants?"
"We've still got Big Sir," Bruce said supportively, his long hair being braided by Ratchett's enormous hands.
"You'll *always* have Big Sir, Mr Major!" he interjected cheerfully.
Ignoring him, Maj. sighed. "Small comfort, Sir's as much of an actor as... Nic Cage is."
"You better take that back," one of the stage hands snapped back.
Disaster groaned. "Have you *seen* how many of those strawberries-"
"Razzies."
"- he has? I think I was being kind! ...I don't see why they have to separate us, that's all."
"Gee, why would they keep Brad Pitt away from a bunch of ex-supervillains?" a voice called out. Gar looked up, this must've been the building consultant they'd called.
She sauntered in, toolbox in her hand, belt hoisted high, and headphones resting around her neck. She liked music. 'I can work with that,' he thought.
"Gar, this, is Jenna Duffy," the director announced, following in behind her.
"Pleasure," Gar said.
"Naturally," she winked back.
"Gar, before we resume, I want you and Jenna to run point on health and safety on the set. Check those barricades. Safe, but functional yeah?" the director said, as he grabbed a coffee from the machine, and handed one to Duffy. "See you in ten."
"Got it, Edison," he called back, as his boss disappeared into his trailer. "So, Jenna! This, is the team. That's Bruce, that's Paul, you'll know Dufus, obviously."
Duffy nodded, and waved at him.
"Big Sir is saving up all his pocket money, Mrs Lady. Big Sir is going to buy a biiiiiig tricycle and a bigger wagon to carry all of his friends!" he announced proudly, blushing slightly. Gar couldn't help smile.
"Ah, Ratchett, never grow up."
"I'm gonna buy a boat!" Disaster declared loudly, putting on a pair of sunglasses excitedly. "Gonna sail the high seas!"
"Maj, the price tag's still- uh," Gar begins, sharing a smile with Duffy. At this, Booker hastily stuffs the $2.00 plastic glasses into his pocket, and straightens his tie awkwardly.
"Dammit, Bruce, you told me they were fine," he snapped.
===The Moth Cave===
Chuck rested his hand against an old picture. Heh. The Misfits were all gathered around a table in My Alibi, Len pointing a finger up at the cameraman. 'Poor Rigger,' he smiled. In the front, Drury and Miranda sat hand in hand, fresh from their wedding- her yellow dress tainted slightly by Zodiac's blood. Or maybe that Larson fellow's... 'Julian, Blake, Drury... Miranda... so few of us left,' he sighed to himself, and placed it in a cardboard box.
"Give me a hand with this, will you?" a voice called out from above.
Chuck looked up. Coming down the stairs, was Gar, with his arms laden with wine glasses, tablecloths and a thatched picnic basket. Rushing into action, he took a pair of chairs from him, and guided him to the bottom. As they laid their labours along the ground, he came across a glass bottle, nestled in a paper bag.
"Dom Pérignon... That's expensive stuff. What's the occasion?" Chuck asks, as he runs his finger along the label. Instinctively, Gar takes the bottle from his hands, and slides it back in its' box.
"Met someone," he mumbles, his cracked skin blushing slightly.
"What? Not the person you've invited to the manor for some Mothmobile themed tune-ups-?" Chuck grins, placing a hand on his back.
"Lynns, you dog," Chancer smirks.
"Speak from the heart, man!" Firebug smiles, placing an approving hand on his shoulder.
Gar shrugs it off, and he turns to the trio. "It's not- that's not- Drury's gone. Someone needs to make sure his stuff's looked after, and she just so happens to like his toys."
"Bet she's got some sick toys of her ow- Ow, why'd you hit me?!" Sharpe complains.
"Because you dissed his girlfriend-" Rigger interjects. "Not cool, man."
"I did not! T'was a compliment, Gar honest! Really, I bet she's stack- Ow! Next time, I'm gonna fuckin' shoot you!" Chancer snarls, rubbing his bruised skin. Rigger grabs him by his lapels, and drags him away.
"She's not my girlfriend-! ... Not yet anyway," Gar yells after them. "What, you not joining them" he asked, turning back to Chuck.
He sat down, perching on a particular homely looking boulder. "It's just us now, Gar. The originals. What was it Drury called us?"
"The OGs..." Gar winced slightly.
"God, we got old," Brown chuckles slightly. "Morty's still skirting his taxes, Len's been tending that bar for half our careers, Julian went Lightning Bug on us, Drury..."
"- Is Drury," Gar warned.
"And Blake... Blake was possessed by a sex demon... Look, Gar, I know I'm not him-"
Gar cocked his head to one side. "I never said you were."
"But let's just say one of us deserves to be happy, eh?" he smiles, as he pats him on the back, and joins the others.
"Gar? You down here?" Duffy calls out, as she makes her way down the stairs.
"Yeah, uh, mind the step will you?" he calls back. "18, maybe 17, is a bitch."
As she lands at the bottom, Jenna takes a look around the cave, toolbox in hand, and stops at a small bench. "Did you, um, is that, uh, a picnic basket?"
Gar turns to the spread, and nods. "Yes. Yes it is. I thought you might want, uh, a sandwich. Or something! I got miniature quiches too. And wine."
"Wine and power drills don't exactly tend to work so good, honey."
"Yes! Right," Gar turns his head, and notices Rigger in the corner, raising a proud thumb. "*Ahem.* You, uh, look... I like your skin."
The trio pause, huddling together. "Do we reckon that was *meant* to sound racist?" Chancer asks.
"What? Nah, I reckon it was self deprecating," Rigger explains, a little off put.
"Right, right. Cause his face is fucked," Sharpe says, satisfied.
"Can you guys give us some privacy, please?" an exasperated Gar asks.
"Right you are!" Chuck calls back, as he pulls the other two to their feet.
"Jenna-" Gar begins, swallowing.
"Yeah, Gar?" she asks back, a slight Irish twang in her voice.
"I-" he continues, before a loud ringtone echoes through the cave. "Oh, what now?" he growls.
"It's going down, I'm yelling timber-" the phone rings, before a gloved hand grabs it, in a desperate attempt to silence it.
"Sorry," Chancer adds sheepishly. "My phone," he explains, as he clambers back up the stairs, and puts it to his ear. "Hi, Gramps. No, yeah, on my way!"
Gar glowered, before turning back to Duffy. "Do you want to maybe instead grab a-"
"Coffee? Love to."

Anti-Racism activists assembling at Portland Place at the beginning of Saturday's March Against Racism.
The rally was organised to mark UN Anti-Racism Day and came at a moment when ethnic minorities feel under severe assault on multiple fronts. Covid 19 and the recent surge in the cost of living have both had a disproportionate and devastating impact on black and other minority communities, while the Nationality and Borders Bill will criminalize asylum seekers and gives the government the power to strip the citizenship away from as many as six million people.
Meanwhile the Ukraine war is revealing Britain's double standards on refugees. Newspapers that were calling for the navy to be deployed to repel small boats of desperate victims of conflict and famine in Yemen, Syria and Afghanistan, are now declaring how we can be proud of our efforts to house those fleeing Ukraine. Some activists on Saturday's march carried placards reminding us that we should welcome refugees from ALL wars.
Although it is good to see Ukrainian refugees being housed in Britain, elementary morality would suggest that our responsibility to those fleeing Yemen and Afghanistan is even greater, as it is British and US aircraft and bombs that are targeting hospitals, markets and schools in Yemen, while Western sanctions are inflicting severe shortages of essentials and near famine conditions on millions in Afghanistan.

From brave wonderful journalist Lauren Southern,a documentary of the racist genocide of the white South African Agricultural sector.
Cattle shot taken in KZN Province in South Africa.
This photo was taken in London's Parliament Square on Monday 20 February 2017 during a protest against the proposed state visit of American president Donald Trump to Britiain.
Thousands of protesters armed with placards filled most of the square as British MPs debated president Trump's visit in the House of Commons. They were rallying to demand that the government repudiate his shameful racist, sexist and imperialist policies and revoke his state invitation as a guest of the Queen. Many also expressed the wish that the British government itself should do far more to help desparate refugees and ease the conditions within the UK for asylum seekers .
1.8 million people have already signed an online petition asking the government to rescind the offer of a state visit. Labour MP Paul Flynn condemned it as “terribly wrong” and the speaker of the British parliament John Bercow had already stated his view that if he was allowed to address parliament we would be effectively endorsing his extremely divisive views on women and Muslims.
In contrast Foreign Office minister Alan Duncan was defiant arguing that Britain should "use all the tools at its disposal to build common ground" with America's extreme right wing president who, if invited on a state visit, would only be the third US president to be so honoured since 1952.
Former Foreign Secretary, William Hague, couldn't understand the fuss. The queen was, he argued in the Daily Telegraph, used to meeting some of the world's bloodiest tyrants, "such as presidents Mobutu of Zaire and Caeucescu of Romania" and seemed to imply there was no need to improve our ethical standards now.
By 6 pm approximately five thousand angry protesters had gathered and the police had to close part of the square to traffic.
Among the most frequent chants heard were "May shame on you", "dump Trump", "build bridges not walls" and "refugees are welcome here". However for the most part people quietly listened to the speakers who included Owen Jones, Green MP Caroline Lucas, Labour MP Naz Shah, the SNP's Carol Monaghan and Shadow home secretary Diane Abbot who told the crowd that Trump
"was supported in his presidential campaign by white supremacists. Even in the first weeks of his presidency, he had had a visceral anti-immigrant line.We hear that he has been invited for state visit. Whatever you think, a state visit is meant to be an honour. I would say that Donald Trump has done nothing to be honoured for."
Owen Jones called for continued solidarity with immigrants and refugees and was optimistic tolerance would win out over bigotry
"The racists and the fascists have been defeated before," he told the crowd, "and we will defeat them again".
