NYC Transit Union Claims The MTA Holds Dead Bodies In Worker Break Rooms
"""
the bodies are reportedly left out in the open with no warnings to workers and no locked doors. At any given moment, a worker could walk into room and find a body, or pieces of a body with no warning [...] “You have pieces, you have blood spatter”
"""
How do you tell the difference between a transit worker and a dead body ?

Dead body will be moved after 1 hour?

A Berkeley ‘Escape Hatch’
A Berkeley ‘Escape Hatch’
"""
The University of California at Berkeley [...] had installed an “escape hatch” from protesters in the chancellor’s office. [...] internal emails we’ve seen show that a staff “deeply disturbed by [recent] occupations” did build the exit to protect themselves from potentially dangerous students.

In a proposal requesting funding for the $9,000 security door, the chancellor’s office detailed the risk of “vandalism & malicious mischief” and a “high . . . level of probability of future loss or injury if [the] condition is not addressed.” The proposal noted that protesters had “rushed the building and attempted to occupy” the chancellor’s office in April 2015. “Staff people pushed to close the office doors while protestors pushed them open.”

Approval of the project was “GREAT NEWS” and provided “a more secure exit for the Chancellor and staff in the event of a serious, and possibly life-threatening emergency,” wrote Dee Middleton, building manager for the hall that houses the chancellor’s office, in a June 18, 2015 email.

After repeated vandalism and trespassing, the university also installed a $700,000 security fence around the home of Chancellor Nicholas Dirks.
[...]
In February rioting protesters prompted Berkeley to cancel a speech by blogger Milo Yiannopoulos and evacuate him from campus. Some of the masked activists set fires, threw Molotov cocktails, and tossed fireworks and rocks at university police.
