If Found Guilty, Fry These Guys, Too

Two U.S. Navy sailors have been arrested and accused of providing sensitive military information to China — including details on wartime exercises, naval operations and critical technical material, federal officials said Thursday.

It would not surprise me to learn that both spies are either naturalized citizens or that they have extensive family in China that their Chinese handlers used as leverage. Which then likely means that the counterintelligence folks are going to watch closely those in the military who weree either former Chinese nationals or who have family there. The same should be true for every defense contractor, tech company or manufacturer of anything that has technology newer than that used during the Korean War.

Changing gears to the Great State of Mississippi:[1]

Six white former law enforcement officers in Mississippi who called themselves the “Goon Squad” pleaded guilty Thursday to a racist assault on two Black men in a home raid that ended with an officer shooting one man in the mouth.

The officers entered the house without a warrant on Jan. 24, assaulting the men with a sex object and using stun guns and other objects to abuse them over a roughly 90-minute period, court documents show. After one victim was shot and wounded in a “mock execution” that went awry, the documents say the officers conspired to plant and tamper with evidence instead of providing medical aid.
...
The officers initially went to the home in Braxton because a white neighbor had complained that Black people were staying with a white woman who owned the house. Officers used racist slurs against the two men during the raid and “warned them to stay out of Rankin County and go back to Jackson or ‘their side’ of the Pearl River — areas with higher concentrations of Black residents,” the documents say.

I suppose that's an improvement over the days when two Black guys who visited a white woman, let alone stayed with her, would have been brutally lynched. But it does go to show that things in Mississippi haven't improved overly much, especially since those racist fuckwads are alleged to have killed two other Black guys.
