"I'm responsible for my actions, I don't need to hide behind nothing. I did it, whatever I did."

One of my conservative friends just posted this on Facebook, and NOT as a joke.

There are no words.

He's getting "likes" and high-fives from his conservative buddies.

Goat Meat Found in Home of Indian Man Killed Over Rumors That He Ate Beef

Goat Meat Found in Home of Indian Man Killed Over Rumors That He Ate Beef

A preliminary investigation regarding the death of Mohammad Ikhlaq — the Indian Muslim who was beaten to death by an angry crowd over rumors that he had slaughtered and eaten a cow — has found that the meat in question taken from Ikhlaq’s home was goat meat, not beef.

In September, Ikhlaq and his family were attacked by an estimated 100 people in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh, where the possession and killing of cows is illegal. The animal is considered sacred to the country’s 80 percent Hindu majority. In recent months, an increasingly conservative ruling party has been seen as condoning a number of acts of violence against non-Hindus who do eat beef, or are suspected of doing so.

Roughly a month after Ikhlaq’s death, another Muslim man, Mohammad Hasmat Ali, was also beaten to death by a mob who suspected him of stealing a cow.

A doctor’s note from the Government Veterinary Hospital in Dadri, written in September, said, “It seems that this meat belongs to goat progeny.” The meat has been sent to another lab for a final forensic test, according to the New York Times.

My FIRST DU music video post of 2016: Motörhead's "When The Sky Comes Looking For You"

This is the final video made in Lemmy's lifetime, from the final album "Bad Magic." I know a lot of people are playing "Ace of Spades" right now, and that's great, but the band was also very proud of the new album and I think Lemmy would be delighted to be honored by playing his last new music and turning it up.

Happy New Year DU. In addition to the political discussions I look forward to sharing more music, food porn, and utter nonsense with you in 2016.
