"There has never been any confrontation between them at training sessions. And by the way, look at Mariah! Do you think this girl could offend anybody? I can't even imagine who decided to write such kind of things about her."Apparently the coach thinks that someone's size has anything to do with their ability to be cruel. It does not. Someone is not automatically friendly solely due to being petite. That is just lazy and poor logic.
The Twitter account of Julian Assange's mother was restored on Wednesday night after her supporters sent a flood of messages to Twitter.
Christine Assange, the mother of WikiLeaks founder and publisher Julian Assange, had her Twitter account restored more than 24 hours after it was abruptly restricted by the social media company.
Hundreds of tweets were sent to the San Francisco-based company by supporters demanding that she regain access to her account.
Ms. Assange tweeted at 10:33 p.m. U.S. Eastern time on Wednesday: "Back on deck! Many thanks to everyone contacting @Twitter on my behalf. Thanks to @Twitter for responding with a reconnect."
Ms. Assange told Consortium News she has had no contact with Twitter and still does not know why her account was restricted and why it was restored. She was unable to post new Tweets or read anyone else's while the restriction was in place.
Outrage at the restriction was expressed by many Assange supporters in tweets to Twitter and its CEO, Jack Dorsey. Another supporter wrote: "The only unusual activity is not seeing a mother fight for her child. It's unnatural and cowardly to think that her tweets are unusual."
Comment: That such sentiments appear even in Russia - a relatively successful multiethnic state, if there ever was one - should perhaps be taken as an indication that sound immigration policies are a must and multiculturalism isn't the panacea that progressives tout it to be. To ignore those who have problems with illegal immigration and dismiss them as simply 'racist' will only cause more division and discontent. At the very least, it's impractical.
