FBI Unlocks San Bernardino Shooter’s iPhone

If there is one thing that’s for sure, you can’t just tell the FBI— no. What the FBI wants, the FBI gets, and they will go to any length to get it, especially information.

While Apple’s unwillingness to jeopardize their brand and customers’ privacy rights, (by not unlocking the San Bernardino shooter’s iPhone at the Feds’ request) is commendable, the FBI found a way around it and unlocked the phone anyway. No word on what they have found yet.

In this case, they were investigating sensitive information in relation to terrorist activities of the two SanBernardino office shooters. Does that make it ok? Take the poll.

Join the discussion.

Federal officials have unlocked the cell phone belonging to one of the San Bernardino shooters, the Los Angeles Times reported.

A “third party” had come forward to help federal investigators unlock the iPhone without the help of Apple, the Times reported.

It remains unclear what the FBI found on the phone.

Prosecutors said in a statement obtained by the Times:

“We sought an order compelling Apple to help unlock the phone to fulfill a solemn commitment to the victims of the San Bernardino shooting – that we will not rest until we have fully pursued every investigative lead related to the vicious attack,” the statement said. “Although this step in the investigation is now complete, we will continue to explore every lead, and seek any appropriate legal process, to ensure our investigation collects all of the evidence related to this terrorist attack. The San Bernardino victims deserve nothing less.”

Georgia Govenor Vetos Religious Freedom Bill

Georgia Governor Nathan Deal has announced he plans to veto a controversial HB757, known as the “religious freedom” bill:

“We do not need to discriminate against anyone in order to protect the faith-based community in Georgia.”

The measure passed by the state’s Republican-controlled legislature, would give faith-based organizations in Georgia the option to deny services to gay people.

“I believe it is a matter of character for our state,” Deal said in announcing his veto. “Our people every day work side by side without regard to the color of the skin of their fellow mate, or the religion their co-worker might adhere to. They are simply trying to make life better for themselves and their communities. That is the character of Georgia. I am going to do my part to keep it that way. For that reason, I will veto House Bill 757 We do not need to discriminate against anyone in order to protect the faith-based community.”

Deal also said the bill “can lead to discrimination even though it may be totally unintentional.”

Marchers Step Forward Against Meth Epidemic In Pine Ridge Reservation

RED POWER MEDIA

Kevin Woster reports: March 25, 2016

Parents and tribal officials on the Pine Ridge Reservation are facing a worrisome surge in methamphetamine use among tribal youth.

Friday in Pine Ridge Village, family members of meth users and their supporters marched to the front of the meth fight, proclaiming a grassroots campaign to rid the reservation of the potentially deadly drug.

They began at noon in light rain and chill winds, marching from the hill where the old Indian Health Service Hospital used to stand and down U.S. Highway 18 into town.

Their goal is for tribal members, and in particular the young, to withstand the storm of methamphetamine use that has been sweeping across their reservation.

Nineteen-year-old Jerica Dreamer, a former user, brought hard personal experience to Friday’s march against meth.

“It’s a bad thing. It’s really bad,” she said. “It hurts you. And it makes your body feel real…
