Feliz Enrique was indicted with assault in the first degree and other crimes. The defendant allegedly approached a nine-year-old girl as she was playing on a Queens street and forcefully struck the child with his hand on 10 May. When a nearby, off-duty NYPD sergeant intervened with bystanders to apprehend him following the incident, Enrique allegedly bit off the top segment of the officer's right index finger. If convicted, Feliz Enrique faces up to 25 years in prison. Surveillance video captured the entire heinous incident. An indictment is merely an allegation. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. read more

Hi Effeteposer:
About 58.7 million adults had a mental illness in 2023: usafacts.org
Before the Trumpf Reign of Terror, the CDC reported increases in US mental heath cases: www.cdc.gov
Trumpf 2.0 is increasing anxiety in Americans: usnewsper.com and www.vox.com
Overall suicide rates in the US have increased: nchstats.com
Returning soldiers from America's "forever wars" suffer from PTSD and commit suicide: www.va.gov
Look at the number of people joining dangerous cults, like CVLT or the Zizians: Link
People may argue that mental illness in the US isn't growing, but I beg to differ, whatever the root cause of it is (age-related dementia, PTSD, drug/alcohol abuse, loneliness, genetics, Trumpf anxiety) and our prisons turn into asylums.

#53: Hi Donnerboy: I have blank lines in the thread, so I apologize for jumping in. Years ago, I had to qual on automatics and revolvers annually and I owned a few legal pistols and a carbine. After I said goodbye to the last of my firearms a dozen years ago (a .357 Centennial which I kept in immaculate condition), I never looked back. I'm glad I never had to shoot anybody. A retired NYPD officer I knew became a gumshoe. His only regret after 25 years with the NYPD was that he was forced to shoot his weapon at someone. "Brian" was pissed at the suspect and kept yelling at him: "Why did 'ya make me shoot you? Why?" He only winged the perp, but he felt awful about it for years.

#101: Hi Hamburglar. Both words work, thank you. But I chose "insurgency" because that's how the dinosaurs-- protectors of the status quo, the NRA, and AIPAC-- see her and the other progressives in the DNC-- a threat to their cozy structure which must be stamped out, like an insurgency: www.gannett-cdn.com
US Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) is expert at banging the drums of the proletariat here in the US, but ensures the smooth, uninterrupted flow of American taxpayer funds go to Israel every year, like a closet-Likudnik. When Schumer capitulated on the GOP budget in mid-March 2025, he rendered a tortured explanation full of holes that "things would be worse in America with a government shutdown." But Schumer did not fool US Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT), AOC from NYC, David Hogg, and antiwar progressives; hence AOC's insurgency to oust "Senator AIPAC" in a primary: external-content.duckduckgo.com
#1: Hi Corky: As you are aware, this particular TV commentator you highlighted is one of the Kremlin chickenhawks, patriotically calling for the conquest and Russification of Ukraine, but not going to war himself or discussing the appalling daily Russian casualties. In the past 24 hours, 1,050 Russian soldiers were rendered ineffective, like this troop (conscript or kontractniki): cdn.images.express.co.uk
Adjusting for inflation, US aid to Israel from 1951 to 2022 totaled $317.9 billion, making it the largest recipient of American foreign aid since World War II. Source: usafacts.org
