To be human is to have rights. Every one of us is a representative of the humankind. Thus, every one of us has the duty to respect and demand respect for the human rights of every one of us.
The duty of every human being is to tell those who don’t know, encourage and support those who are afraid, and defend those who are threatened and prosecuted.
To be human is to commit and struggle for the wellbeing of every human being on Earth and beyond. All that makes us human. It is hard, but human.
TULSA, Okla. (AP) — Police backed by a helicopter arrested two white men early Sunday and said they would face murder charges in the recent shootings that terrorized Tulsa's black community and left three people dead and two others critically wounded.
Police spokesman Jason Willingham said the two men were arrested at a home just north of Tulsa about 2 a.m. Sunday and were expected to be charged with three counts of first-degree murder and two counts of shooting with intent to kill in the spate of shootings early Friday. He said police made the arrests after receiving an anonymous tip.
Tulsa, OK - A manhunt is underway in Tulsa, Oklahoma for the suspect in a string of shootings that left at least three people dead.
Authorities say the shootings are possible hate crimes because the suspect is a white male and all the victims are black.
The attacks, which happened over a seven-hour period at four different locations, also left two people wounded.
The suspect is believed to be driving a white truck.
Five African American's Shot 3 dead.
The first victim is identified as Dannaer Fields, a 49 year-old woman who was found shot in the chest around 1 a.m. yesterday. Police say the next to be killed was 57 year-old Bobby Clark. Then 31 year-old William Allen was found shot to death in the parking lot of a funeral home.
Two other unidentified men were shot in a fourth attack, but are expected to survive.
The "Tulsa World" newspaper reports the attacks happened within three miles of each other and all of the victims were walking down the street when they were shot.
Search warrants in the case of Iraqi-American woman who was beaten to death last month suggest that there may be more to the story than just a case of anti-Muslim violence. According to court records obtained by the San Diego Union Tribune, the victim, Shaima Alawadi, was looking to divorce her husband and move to another state, while her 17-year-old daughter, Fatima, was also distraught about being forced to marry her cousin. Fatima Alawadi also reportedly received a crytpic text message shortly after the attack saying, "The detective will find out tell them (can’t) talk."
Investigators also learned of another incident that adds to the portrait of a family in trouble. Fatima was picked up by police last November after they responded to a report of two people having sex in a car and found the daughter in a car with a 21-year-old man. Her mother came to pick her up, but while driving home, Fatima threw herself out of the moving car at 35 m.p.h., breaking her arm. She reportedly told hospital staff that she was upset about the arranged marriage.
Family photo copies killers note and throws away original ?
Finally, police have determined that the key piece of evidence — a threatening note found next to the body telling the family to go back where they came from — was a photocopy and not the handwritten original. (The family did say they previously found a similar note outside their home, but did not save it.)
VANDENBERG AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. (AP) — A rocket carrying a top-secret payload blasted off Tuesday from the California coast.

Is that spyware to watch us or the other guys?
"We've just seen the successful liftoff" of the rocket, launch commentator Don Spencer said in a webcast.
Since the launch involved a classified cargo for the National Reconnaissance Office, no details were immediately available about whether it was boosted to its intended orbit.
The reconnaissance office, which oversees the nation's constellation of spy satellites, has kept mum about the purpose of the mission and directed United Launch Alliance to cut off the live broadcast three minutes after liftoff.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The explosion of drug-fueled violence along Mexico's border with the United States could harm relations between the two nations, President Barack Obama said Monday; Mexico's leader retorted that much of the problem of drugs and guns begins on the U.S. side of the line.
In the thick of political contests in both the United States and Mexico, Obama and Mexican President Felipe Calderon traded unusually direct claims about the cause and effect of the drug violence that has consumed a swath of northeastern Mexico. They were cordial and complimentary to one another, but did not hide the degree of worry on both sides about a six-year spasm of violence that has killed more than 47,000 people.
"It can have a deteriorating effect overall on the nature of our relationship," Obama said. "And that's something that we have to pay attention to."
