Aren't there a lot of children working in those mines?

Not at all surprised. War criminals always manage to get off the hook somehow. I say if you're a soldier and you see something you want to report, don't. Just frag them.

America has been flagrantly violating the Geneva Conventions and other international laws since 9/11. Those that don’t think this **** will bite us in the ass are arrogant ****s who don’t know their history.

There was some of that in Vietnam.

Like what even is the point of putting them on trial? They just get off and the people on the other side decide rightfully that there is no justice to be had for them and then the war criminal is beyond retaliation cause they're probably back home after the trial and safe. And even if they do get convicted they tend to get slaps on the wrist or a pardon. Just ****ing kill them.

Can't poison foreign sentiments without making a big show of your inaction, duh

I used to drink that a lot. I can't even think about hard alcohol with out throwing up a little now.

He was looking for a story and by god, he got one.

Imagine how rarely this would happen if everyone condemned political violence on the whole instead of condemning it along party lines. Or how fun America would be if everyone just decided to embrace political violence on the whole.

Sonoma County Sheriff’s Detectives are releasing new information into an officer involved shooting that occurred last night in Bodega Bay. Shortly after 8:00 PM a deputy and a CHP Officer were dispatched to a disturbance in Bodega Bay with multiple injured people that ended with a Sonoma County Deputy Sheriff shooting a 32-year-old man.

Detectives responded and after questioning numerous witnesses and collecting video evidence they have learned the following. The suspect, 32-year-old San Francisco resident Betai Koffi, was with five longtime friends who had rented a Bodega Bay home for the Independence Day holiday. They arrived at the home in the 600 block of Swan Drive on Wednesday July 3rd.

On July 4th at about noon Koffi consumed 2 doses of a drug commonly referred to as LSD or acid, a known dangerous hallucinogenic drug. At approximately 3:00 PM Koffi became delusional around the home while his friends tried to keep him calm. Between 4:00 and 5:00 PM, he took two more doses of LSD. Shortly before 8:00 PM Koffi wanted to leave but his friends tried to stop him.

Koffi punched a woman in the chest and side, then stabbed a man with a pencil, and choked another man, and punched another man in the face. Koffi was able to get outside the home and got into his rental car, a blue Hyundai sedan, and tried to back out of the driveway, only to hit another car that was parked behind him. Koffi put the car in drive and drove towards one of the men, who was able to get out of the way, then drove the car into the garage of the home, lodging it into the home.

Koffi then exited the car and ran down the street to a home several doors down where he was confronted by a security guard. Upon questioning, Koffi picked up a landscape light and stabbed the guard in the chest with the metal stake end and knocked the security guard to the ground; he was unable to get back up.

Koffi then went to the security guard’s truck, which was unlocked and running, and stole the truck, driving away at high speed. As he fled, he drove straight towards an unrelated man and woman walking on the road. Koffi drove straight towards the pair and violently hit the woman with the truck causing significant injuries. The man was struck on the arm but was not seriously injured. He then immediately drove off the road and drove after another man and woman who were walking on a bluff. He aimed at the woman and hit her with the truck, causing significant injuries.

Koffi continued driving off road, hit a wall, entered a side yard of a home, then drove back out onto Pelican Loop Road. A deputy arrived in a patrol car and stopped in the street as a CHP Officer pulled up to the left of the Sheriff’s Car. Koffi turned the truck and accelerated towards the two patrol cars and drove straight towards the officers. The deputy, who had exited his patrol car attempting to get out of the way fired several rounds at Koffi but he continued to accelerate, colliding into the CHP officer’s car. Koffi continued to accelerate and the deputy fired several more rounds, at which point Koffi’s truck was stopped and the deputy took Koffi into custody and applied medical aid until paramedics arrived. Koffi was hit at least three times through the windshield.

Koffi and the first woman hit by the truck were flown by helicopters to nearby hospitals and treated for their injuries. The woman received significant injuries that are not expected to be life threatening. The security guard and second woman hit by the truck were transported to a local hospital by ground ambulance and are expected to survive their injuries. Koffi received major injuries and is currently in critical condition. Koffi’s friends at the rented home were able to treat their own injuries and did not require hospitalization.

A countywide protocol was invoked that details how the incident will be investigated because this is an officer involved shooting causing major injuries. Santa Rosa Police and the Sonoma County District Attorney’s Office are investigating the officer involved shooting portion of this incident. The Sonoma County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the assaults and events leading up to the shooting.

Currently Koffi is under arrest by the Sonoma County Sheriff’s Office at the hospital for two counts of attempted murder, three counts of assault with a deadly weapon and one charge of carjacking for the incidents leading up to the officer involved shooting. Bail has not been set.

Who needs Biden when you can have this amazing man.

Did everybody else know that Trump was accused of raping a 13 year old at a party inside of a convicted pedophile and child trafficker's house where she was held captive in a case that got dropped because the victim was getting death threats? Or am I just really late to this one?

A lot of people looked into that and didn't deem the case to have any legs due to weird (allegedly "sketchy") circumstances surrounding the corroborating witnesses and such.

Is anyone else following, with dwindling amusement and rising disgust, the tale of the UK ambassador to Washington and his leaked verdict on the Trump admin?

Brit PM Theresa May, and Jeremy Hunt (a candidate to replace May), both stood up for the ambassador, saying that he was only doing his job in reporting his honest assessment of the White House. Worryingly for Britain, the most probable incoming Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, hasn't defended the ambassador, demonstrating that he would rather be Trump's pet poodle than defend Britain's career diplomats.

Trump has refused to work with the ambassador and now the poor guy has had to resign. At another time, I bet the worst disciplinary action would've been to post the guy somewhere else to keep him out of Trump's way. As it is, his resignation sends an uncomfortable message to any other diplomats stationed in Washington: telling the truth about the White House could cost you your job.

And finally, as one news outlet points out, Trump's refusal to cooperate professionally with the ambassador is in strange contrast to Trump's treatment of KimJungUn: after KJU publicly declared that Trump was "a mentally deranged dotard", Trump was boasting like a besotted teenager that he and KJU had fallen in love. Can't DT find any love in his heart for a Brit diplomat as well?

The KJU stuff is clearly just schmaltzy fake nice guy salesman tactics. I'm not sure if that ineffective and patronizing approach is the best way to work with your ambassador.

Our president is an egotistical dip**** so this story doesn't surprise me. Just another footnote of another page of another chapter in the book of American executive expansion.

I don't remember the details so I couldn't say for sure but it would in no way surprise me. Would surprise me if he was above it tbh.

Details is he was accused of raping a 13 year old, several times, at convicted pedophile and child trafficker Jeffrey Epstein's house. She dropped the case citing death threats as the reason.

The evidence supporting it is that they did have a close relationship during that time. Jeffrey used to frequent Trumps Mar-A-Lago club to find underage women. Trump did used to attend parties at Jeffery's house. Trump commented that Jeffrey “likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side.” Multiple witnesses were in the case. Plus, Trump is a bit of a creep.

Evidence against it is they came and disappeared during the 2016 campaign. They had aggressively contacted as many sources as possible. Their representatives were known for throwing accusations at Trump. One of them remained anonymous. They pulled out of court before any hearing. And the detective working on the Epstein case said it didn't seem to correlate with what he knew about Epstein's activities at the time, although he wasn't willing to dismiss it. They think they could have been regurgitating public info about Epstein's orgies, but they don't know.

He did it but they’re not going to go after a president for that or anything because they worship the position of authority.

The entire police force from the capital police to the federal agencies to local police forces. Pretty much 99.9999% of Americans. Everyday that Trump goes without being arrested by every person in America who can is proof that people, basically ALL people, are ****ing sheep.

Ok. Go arrest the president, I've got your back.

More so the people in charge of doing so are sheep.

Then almost half the population are also his sheep.

Anybody that is outraged gets stereotyped as beta cuck snowflake liberal socialist nazi commie marxist post modern millennial terrorists trying to take freedom of speech away from the hard working white man. Oh and we hate America I guess.

Edit: Almost as if Trump and his supporters are fascist.

Cracks me up how people think this is an insult. It's especially hilarious when the person using anti-Americanism as a derogatory accusation hate 50% of the country and the majority of all government actions.
