An 11-year-old boy has died after being shot while playing a doorbell ditch prank in Houston on Saturday night. The victim and several other kids were ringing doorbells and running from multiple homes in an east Houston neighborhood. As the boy ran from a house on Racine Street just before 2300 HRS, someone chased after him and shot him in the back. The boy was transported to hospital and was later pronounced dead. One person was detained at the scene for questioning and has since been released. Investigators are reviewing surveillance video and working with the Harris County DA's Office on possible charges. "It'll more than likely be a murder charge," Sgt. Michael Cass, a homicide detective with the HPD, noting the boy's death does not appear to involve self-defense because the shooting "wasn't close to the house." read more
A postwar plan for Gaza formulated by the Dummkopf Trumpf junta would turn the Gaza Strip into a "trusteeship" administered by the US for ten years. The 38-page plan is called the "Gaza Reconstitution, Economic Acceleration and Transformation Trust" (GREAT). The junta's plan would see Gaza transformed into a tourism resort and a high-tech manufacturing and technology hub. Palestinians would be temporarily relocated, either through voluntary departures to another country or into secured concentration camps within Gaza during reconstruction. The report added that Gazans who own land would be offered a digital token by the trust in exchange for rights to develop their property, while also being given the option to use it to finance a new life elsewhere or be redeemed for an apartment. Each Gazan who chooses to leave would be provided $5,000 cash payment and subsidies to cover four years of rent and a year of food. read more
US Park Police have initiated at least ten car chases in the past three weeks as part of Dummkopf Trumpf's occupation plan for Washington DC. USPP officers pursued drivers for tinted windows, fake license plates, broken headlights, and running stop signs. The pursuits, all of which began as traffic stops for nonviolent crimes, would have violated DC police policy. The MPD allows car chases only when the driver is putting other lives in danger or is suspected of committing a violent crime. But these ten pursuits for non-violent crimes led to at least six crashes in Washington DC. In seven pursuits, five appear to have involved the same detective sergeant. read more
US District Judge Sparkle Sooknanan ordered an emergency halt to a plan by the Trumpf junta to send more than 600 unaccompanied Guatemalan children back to their home country, some within a matter of hours, after immigrant advocacy groups sued, calling the unannounced plan illegal. USDJ Sooknanan issued the order just after 0400 HRS Sunday, finding that the "exigent circumstances" warranted immediate action "to maintain the status quo until a hearing can be set. I have the government attempting to remove minor children from the country in the wee hours of the morning on a holiday weekend, which is surprising, but here we are," Sooknanan said at the hastily assembled hearing. The roughly 600 children arrived in the US alone and are in the custody of the HHS Office of Refugee Resettlement. The Trumpf junta is preparing to deport them to Guatemala without notice or a chance to contest their deportation. read more
Representative Thomas Massie (R-KY) re-introduced the "Safe Students Act." The "Safe Students Act" (H.R. 5066) repeals the "Gun-Free School Zones Act of 1990," (GFSZA) eliminating GFSZA's one-size-fits-all federal ban on guns in school zones. Enactment of the "Safe Students Act" would make it easier for state and local governments and school boards to unambiguously set their own firearms policies. "Gun-free zones are ineffective and make our schools less safe. Since 1950, 94% of mass public shootings have occurred in places where citizens are banned from having guns," Rep. Thomas Massie bleated. "Banks, churches, sports stadiums, and many of my colleagues in Congress are protected with firearms. Yet children inside the classroom are too frequently left vulnerable." Another gun advocate sniveled: "Instead of protecting' our kids with a tin sign, let's defend them with something that makes a difference: a good guy with a gun." read more
