Toki Wright has released a new video against the shambolic laws in Arizona.
The essentially racist laws means police can stop and detain anyone that think might be an illegal immigrant. So, Toki took to the streets of Minneapolis and put together this protest video using the classic Public Enemy song. Check it out below:
Black Sabbath and Dio singer Ronnie James Dio has died.
The 67 year old lost his battle with stomach cancer with his wife Wendy announcing on his official site that he passed away at 7.45am. She continued:
“Many, many friends and family were able to say their private good-byes before he peacefully passed away. Ronnie knew how much he was loved by all. We so appreciate the love and support that you have all given us.”
Dio was legendary and everyone at Crossfire will remember him and his work for a long, long time. R.I.P.
