Mahsa Amini was a 23-year-old Iranian woman who was arrested by Iranian Morality Police (yes they have such things in Iran, and in States in this country where women want to get an abortion) for violating the Hijab law. She died in custody, beaten to death.
Protests have erupted across Iran and the world, with people chanting "Women..Life...Freedom"
Bruce Springsteen sang "you can't start a fire without a spark" and Iran has been dancing in the dark since religious extremists came to power in February 1979.
CONE OF CONCERN
In Miami we have the cone of uncertainty- called the "cone of certain death and destruction and all hope is lost unless you immediately go to Publix and punch your neighbor over a bottle of water while your spouse fights for the last piece of plywood at Home Depot" by Channel 7, your scare the sh$t out of you storm channel.
Try and not panic.
Enjoy the weekend. The Fins may well beat the Bills Sunday and wouldn't that be something?
Courts are closed Monday for the New Year religious celebrations, so you have a long weekend courtesy of the church/synagogue/state/ban/noban.
