The defendant, an Oakland man, defeated a restraint device keeping him in a courtroom chair, then used his own lawyer's pen to stab the defense attorney on his face and head. He then charged the prosecutor before a courtroom deputy tackled and arrested him. The entire Monday morning frenzy was witnessed by a jury that will soon be tasked with determining his guilt or innocence on charges that he murdered his ex-girlfriend in 2020 and attempted to murder a man amid a tense child custody dispute. Jurors will hear closing arguments this week.

A Lebanese migrant who was caught sneaking over the border admitted he's a member of Hezbollah, he hoped to make a bomb, and his destination was New York. Ebbadi said he had trained with Hezbollah for seven years and served as an active member guarding weapons locations for another four years, according to internal ICE documents. Ebbadi's training focused on "jihad" and killing people "that was not Muslim," he said. Border agents continue to see a surge in migrants whose names appear on the terror watchlist entering the US illegally as crossings continue at record levels. read more

Also reminds me of the Hamas offer of a temporary cease-fire ("hudna"):

"In January 2004, senior Hamas leader [...] offered a 10-year hudna in return for complete withdrawal from all territories captured in the Six-Day War, the establishment of a Palestinian state in the West Bank and Gaza, and the "right of return" for all Palestinian refugees. Rantissi gave interviews with European reporters and said the hudna was limited to ten years and represented a decision by the movement because it was "difficult to liberate all our land at this stage; the hudna would however not signal a recognition of the state of Israel.""

Basically demanding everything in return for a promise not to eradicate Israel for ten whole years. LOL! Jews have been around for awhile, so that ten years probably didn't strike them as a particularly meaningful offer. Gotta wake up a bit earlier in the day to out-haggle the J-O-Os.

And here's a link to last week's Retort post about the NY guv sending in national guard to keep the NYC subway safe.

I'm sure we'll be hearing shortly from all of the criminal apologists who were hyperventilating on that post.

Here's the video for anyone who wants to see how it actually went down.

Loved the "Dindu Nuthin" from the stabber.

Every non-religiously-kooky nation puts them down. [...] #30 | Posted by censored

Actually, scratch that. Looks like some other nations have bought into to that philosophy as well. Like Taiwan, and with entirely predictable results: "City and county dog catchers are also leaving strays along mountain roads more often to avoid overburdening public shelters [...] Stretches of roads in the forested mountains outside Taipei teem with strays, some missing their fur. They might form packs to guard spots where dog lovers periodically drop off food. Packs sometimes menace passing hikers or bicyclists. [...] Overcrowded shelters risk the spread of disease and the odds of fights among dogs, occasionally to the death [...] His shelter has 400 dogs now, up from 300 before the euthanasia ban took effect. Three have died in fights over competition for space. "Our dogs are stressed. Our dogs are anxious," Gorski said. "Our dogs fight. We don't have anyone there at night. Sometimes our staff go in the morning and find a dead dog from a fight.""

#17 You know rabies vaccines and trap, neuter, release programs exist, right?
Yeah, and I'm sure that the nation
with an average income of $2,400/yr has the resources to do that. I dunno, maybe they should put that money into caring for their human beings. If Indians have the money to burn, maybe instead vaccinate some of those twenty THOUSAND Indians dying from rabies every single year.

No need to kill dogs.
They are 62 MILLION stray dogs that no one wants to care or accept responsibility for. Every non-religiously-kooky nation puts them down. Even the U.S. which has an average income of $77,000 a year. Rather than spend the resources on them. Not to mention the associated filth and danger of packs of dogs roaming the streets.

The animal rights activists were right. Don't be that scumbag. #29 | Posted by DarkVader
I'm a scumbag because I think it's reasonable to value human life and well-being over stray dogs? OK, you're right. I guess Indian lives aren't that important. #StrayDogLivesMatter
