International
“A revolting confession”
by Kevin Potvin
The Republic

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “This and the article following it were originally written in October of 2001, five weeks after the terrorist attacks in New York and Washington. It seemed prudent at that time to stuff it in the back of the drawer for when things lightened up again. But it seems that’s not going to happen.

I have a terrible confession to make. When I saw the first tower cascade down into that enormous plume of dust and paper, there was a little voice inside me that said, “Yeah!” When the second tower came down the same way, that little voice said, “Beautiful!” When the visage of the Pentagon appeared on the TV with a gaping and smoking hole in its side, that little voice had nearly taken me over, and I felt an urge to pump my fist in the air.

This is a revolting confession, I know. But it’s what happened.

I know lots of people were killed.”

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “A 44-year-old bookstore owner, alternative-newspaper publisher and Green Party candidate is in hot water after telling a Canadian journal this week he “totally endorse[d]” an editorial he wrote four years ago praising the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on New York City and the Pentagon.

Kevin Potvin, founder and publisher of The Republic of East Vancouver, a federal Green Party of Canada candidate in Vancouver-Kingsway, wrote his thoughts on the attacks shortly after they happened but held off publishing them in his paper until urged on by friends who felt the same way.

Titling his editorial “A Revolting Confession,” Potvin wrote on Nov. 28, 2002:”

“Youths” clash with police in Malmö

Malmö Riots Update: here is a report from Sweden’s The Local (thanks to Elias) about the riots: “Youths clash with police on Malmö estate.” It is similar to the Swedish-language kindly translated by a tea-loving snail below.

...The troubles started at about 7:30pm when police received a call from a member of the public alleging that they had been threatened. A police patrol went to Ramels Väg in Rosengård to respond to the report, and while officers investigated youths gathered and started throwing stones.
By 8:30pm around 15 young people were throwing stones and eggs at police.

When the fire brigade arrived to extinguish a fire in a warehouse on the same street, the stone-throwing youths turned on fire officers.

“Because of this and because the situation is tense in the area, the emergency services will from now on wait for the police before entering the area,” the emergency services said in a press release on Saturday night.

“The emergency services will also send extra resources in the event of an alert,” the statement continued.

By 11pm two warehouses were burning on Ramels Väg. Extra police had to be called in to protect the fire brigade as they battled to extinguish the blazes.

The situation had quietened down by midnight, emergency services said.

Police said that no arrests had been made, although officers have made formal reports alleging that they were the victims of assault.

The Rosengård estate is known for suffering from high levels of unemployment, and for having the highest concentration of immigrant communities of any area in Sweden.
