Four days after the earthquake, a 90-year-old women has been pulled out alive from the rubble by George Santos.

OK, it's not a news story yet, but I expect it soon will be.

At first, I misread your post and thought you said "George Soros."

George Santos, isn't he the guy that shot down that Chinese spy balloon?

Yeah Soros was piloting the balloon.

Lisnaholic 02-11-2023 07:38 AM

As I understand it, Soros was also the guy who caused the Turkish earthquake in the first place, with his space lasers.

Isn't it funny how, once they're sentenced and realise they're probably going to end up married to some big black guy, these wankers suddenly break down and feel remorse? :rolleyes: In a Trump administration, where the chances of them even being arrested for such a thing as "depopulating America of its black community" would be slim, he'd be crowing about this instead of snivelling like a girl. I'm sure the families of those killed feel real bad for the poor guy.

News Alert: Buffalo grocery store mass shooter sentenced to life in prison


The 19-year-old White man who killed 10 people in a racist mass shooting at a grocery store in a predominantly Black area of Buffalo last May cried and said he regretted his actions as he was sentenced to life in prison during an emotional court hearing Wednesday.

“I cannot express how much I regret all the decisions I made leading up to my actions on May 14,” Payton Gendron, wearing an orange jumpsuit and shackles, said in court.

That shooting was practically walking distance from my home. Along with the Snowvember and bomb cyclone Winter Storm Elliott my fair city has made national and global news more frequently than I'd care to count, and never for positive reasons. At least we remain "The City of Good Neighbors."

It was such a bs statement that was prepared for him in an attempt to get a slightly lesser sentence. Even someone's family member that was killed made an outburst in court when he was making that stupid speech that sounded so fake and not genuine at all.



I didn't see this video until I was looking up the outburst one but this guy also tried to rush at him.

Well at least Trump rounded up and executed all the celebs for ritual child sacrifice and then replaced them with doubles to preserve social harmony. So swings and roundabouts...

News Alert: Biden says objects shot down last week appear to not be part of China’s spy balloon operation


President Joe Biden on Thursday said that the US has no indication that the three objects shot down in North American air space are tied to China’s spy balloon program and are likely from private entities.

“We don’t yet know exactly what these three objects were but nothing right now suggests they were related to China’s spy balloon program or that they were surveillance vehicles from any other country,” Biden said from the White House. “The intelligence community’s current assessment is that these three objects were most likely balloons tied to private companies, recreation or research institutions studying weather or conducting other scientific research.”

Mississippi Officers Allegedly Tortured 2 Black Men After Accusing Them Of Selling Drugs and Dating White Women.


https://www.msn.com/en-us/video/news...d=msedgdhp&t=0

I mean I'm not that shocked about it since it's the south but it's still ****ed up.

A Black man was ‘decapitated’ after saying he was being chased by white men. Why do police say no foul play?

Quote:

One day in October, Rasheem Carter sent a chilling final text message to his mother. The Black 25-year-old told her he was being chased by a group of white men in pickup trucks while they hurled racist abuse at him. She never heard from him again. One month later, Carter’s remains were discovered in a wooded area – his head completely severed from his body, according to the family. So why are Mississippi authorities saying that there are “no signs” of foul play?

Here’s what we know so far about the case:

Disappearance
It was 1 October when Carter sent an ominous text message to his mother.
Carter, a welder who lived in Fayette, Mississippi, had gotten a short-term job as a contractor around 100 miles away in Taylorsville. His mother Tiffany Carter said that he was saving money to try to get his seafood restaurant back up and running after it was shuttered during the Covid-19 pandemic. But Carter reached out to his mother telling her in a detailed text message that he was having issues with his coworkers and feared for his life, Ms Carter said at a press conference on 13 March. “Me and the owner of this company are not seeing eye to eye,” the message read. “If anything happens to me [he] is responsible for it… he got these guys wanting to kill me.” Carter gave his mother the name of the individual he was fearful of and told her that he was being targeted by a group of white men in three trucks. “My son told me that it was three truckloads of white guys trying to kill him. And at the time that he told me, as a mother, you know, I had to think fast,” she said.
She said she urged him to go straight to a police station “because I felt in my heart they would serve and protect like they are obligated to do”. Carter did visit the Taylorsville Police Department on two separate occasions prior to his disappearance, reported ABC News. It is not clear when exactly those incidents were. But, after that day, Carter’s family didn’t hear from him.He was reported missing the next day on 2 October.

What's the feeling about this? In this particular case, I think it's more really a case almost of willful negiligence, but right or wrong, does it set a worrying precedent?

News Alert: Ethan Crumbley's parents should stand trial for involuntary manslaughter, appellate court says


The parents of the Oxford High School shooter will stand trial on four counts of involuntary manslaughter for the four deaths their son Ethan Crumbley caused in the November 2021 shooting, the Michigan Court of Appeals has ruled.

The parents, James and Jennifer Crumbley, have argued the charges have no legal justification and they should not be held responsible for their son’s killings.

A panel of judges for the state’s appellate court acknowledged in a written opinion filed Thursday the possible precedent-setting nature of this case – holding parents accountable for a child’s actions – but called the situation unique and unusual.
