On this day, 26 March 1953, Mau Mau guerrillas fighting British colonialism in Kenya attacked the Naivasha police station. They inflicted a humiliating defeat on the police and released 173 prisoners, many of them Mau Mau, from an adjoining detention camp. While the uprising was eventually crushed by mass repression and murder by British forces, independence was achieved just a few years later.

This blog is mostly so I can vent my feelings and share my interests. Other than that, I am nothing special.
If you don't like Left Wing political thought and philosophy, all things related to horror, the supernatural, the grotesque, guns or the strange, then get the fuck out. I just warned you.
