466. Akira: An Off-the-Wall Libertarian Review
Marc is joined by Howie, J.B. "Dr. Science" Lubin and Remso W. Martinez to review "Akira" for this month's Nittany-level Patreon produced show! Nittany level producer Michael Worton wanted us to review his favorite anime film, 1988's "Akira", and Marc hand-selected the perfect crew to review the movie in typical drunken Lions fashion. How "futuristic" does the world of 2019 New Tokyo seem today compared to when the film was made? How hard did New Tokyo cops violate the NAP? And is basically everyone in this movie an asshole? We answer these questions while posing so many more along the way, in this month's Nittany level special!

FF 234 - 32 Years in Prison Couldn't Break his Heart of Gold with Rufus Rochell
On today's episode of Felony Friday Rufus Rochell and Amy Povah join John. Rufus Rochell walked out of FCI Coleman on April 24th of this year. The BOP gave him home confinement, so he is still serving the remainder of his absurd sentence. In 1988 Rufus was sentenced to 40 years 8 months for Conspiracy with Intent to Distribute 50 grams or more of Crack and Possession with Intent of the same amount. Prior to his arrest he had only minor infractions. There were no drugs founds. There were no undercover buys. Rufus was thrown in a cage based on the testimony of convicts who had their own freedom to gain by pointing the finger at Rufus. Amy Povah has been on the show before to share her story of injustice and talk about the incredible Cando Foundation that she founded, which is a 501(c) 3 nonprofit foundation that advocates Clemency for All Non-violent Drug Offenders.

On today's episode of Felony Friday Tony Williams joins John to discuss the #abolishthepolice movement that started in Minneapolis. Tony is a contributor to MPD150. MPD150 is an effort by local organizers, researchers, artists and activists, in which they've published an investigation into the conduct of the Minneapolis Police Department throughout its 150-year history and call for abolishing the Minneapolis police. MPD150's goal is to shift the discussion of police violence in Minneapolis from one of procedural reforms to one of meaningful structural change. They want to dismantle the Minneapolis Police Department and transfer the social service functions to community-based agencies and organizations. They want to replace emergency intervention functions with models not based on military methods and to redirect resources to support community resilience and people-directed development.
