[Atlanta Journal Constipation] A man shot two people who were trying to help him back to his Omni Atlanta Hotel room after a party early Sunday morning, police said.
Sedarius Dennis, 31, had been at a party in a hotel suite when two men noticed he was "highly intoxicated," Atlanta police spokeswoman Officer Stephanie Brown said.
Witness statements indicate the men, ages 31 and 37, tried to take Dennis back to his room. But I'm not in 816, I'm in 421...kapow, kapow!
"Apparently, Dennis became angered with the victims and shot at them," Brown said.
When police arrived at the downtown hotel, they found the men lying on the ground on the 28th floor of the Omni suffering from gunshot wounds. Dennis had allegedly taken off.
He was captured by CNN security personnel in the parking deck across the street from the Omni, police said.
Investigators found a handgun and two spent shell casings in his hotel room. He faces two counts each of aggravated assault and possession of a weapon during the commission of a felony. Which might indicate a revolver was used, unless Sed stopped long enough to pick up the brass.
The victims were taken to Grady Memorial Hospital and are in stable condition, police said.

[Your CentralValley.com] TULARE, Calif. - Twin babies drowned in Tulare on Thursday morning, according to the Tulare Police Department. Investigators said the babies' mother, 37-year old Heather Langdon, is to blame. Langdon has been arrested for the double homicide of her 10-month old boys. Police said they do not yet have a motive for the alleged killings.
Postpartum depression?
Police said it all happened at the Virginia Motor Lodge Motel near Bardsley Avenue and K Street.
Surveillance video from the motel shows Langdon and her twin baby boys getting dropped off at the motel on Wednesday night by Tulare Police officers. Police said Langdon had been staying at a local women's shelter, but she allegedly caused a disturbance there and police were called. Tulare Police said they brought her and her babies to the motel. Motel owner Jay Bhakta said Langdon checked in around 9pm.
"She don't have nowhere to go, so they just help one night, and they willing to pay,
Desperation? There were times I felt deperate with just one baby, a supportive husband, and enough money. I can’t imagine dealing with twins without money or support...
but I just say, that room, I donate. I don't need the money," said Bhakta. The motel owner said he didn't suspect anything wrong with the mother of two. "She seemed alright, you know, like she be alright."
Sgt. Jon Hamlin said Langdon, who is originally from Lindsay, drowned her twin babies in the bathtub. Bhakta said a next door neighbor was flagged down by Langdon around 7:45am to call 911.

A former Miss Kentucky who is a teacher in West Virginia has been charged with sending nude pictures to a 15-year-old former student. The Kanawha County Sheriff's Office says that 28-year-old Ramsey Bearse was arrested Friday and charged with four felony counts of distributing or displaying "obscene" photographs to a minor.
A criminal complaint says the student's parent informed authorities of lewd pictures sent by Bearse that were found on the teenager's phone. The unidentified parent said Bearse had been the boy's teacher during part of his time at Andrew Jackson Middle School in Cross Lanes.
Authorities say Bearse admitted to sending the nude photos on Snapchat. It's unclear whether she has an attorney.
The sheriff's office said Bearse was released on a $10,000 bond following her arraignment.
A spokesman for Kanawha County Schools declined to comment but confirmed that Bearse was a teacher at the school.
Under her maiden name of Carpenter, Bearse was crowned Miss Kentucky in 2014.
Bearse is the second former Miss Kentucky in 17 months to be arrested. Last year a grand jury indicted 28-year-old Kia Hampton for smuggling marijuana into an Ohio prison for an inmate.
A steady trickle of Central American migrants have been finding ways to climb over, tunnel under or slip through the U.S. border wall to plant their feet on U.S. soil and ask for asylum. Two fences. Hungry alligators and landmines in between.
In recent weeks, Honduran migrant Joel Mendez fed his 8-month-old son, Daniel, before handing him over to his partner, Yesenia Martinez, who had crawled through a hole in the rain-softened soil under the wall.
A group of young people hoisted themselves over the wall to San Ysidro, California, hoping that their ticket to a better life was finally within reach. One migrant offered a hand to help the others jumping down onto U.S. territory.
They all sought to skip the long official wait on the Mexico side for filing asylum claim with the U.S. by getting over the wall and handing themselves over to U.S. agents. Last week, U.S. Customs and Border Protection said the San Diego sector had experienced a "slight uptick" in families entering the U.S. illegally with the goal of seeking asylum.
Thousands of migrants are living in crowded tent cities in Tijuana after undertaking a grueling journey from Central America to the U.S. border. A large number have decided to make new lives in Mexico, applying for work permits and taking jobs at local factories while they wait as the U.S. government processes about 100 asylum requests a day at the San Ysidro crossing, the United States’ busiest.
But by word of mouth, some have realized they can simply cross into U.S. territory, largely uninhibited by Mexican authorities. In twos or threes ‐ occasionally by the dozen ‐ they arrive at the border wall and manage to get over. Often within minutes, border officers quickly arrive to escort them to detention centers and begin "credible fear" interviews.
Over two nights last week, Associated Press journalists saw more than a dozen migrants taking the risk. A woman wearing a blue-beaded rosary waited with her children to see where they could cross. A Salvadoran migrant hid as he dug a hole in the sand under the wall. In the dark of night, migrants could be seen walking up a hill inside U.S. territory toward agents waiting to detain them.
[Wiki] Placide Cappeau (25 October 1808 ‐ 8 August 1877) was a French poet and the author of the well-known poem, "Minuit, chrétiens" ("O Holy Night") (1847), which was set to music by Adolphe Adam.
[Daily Times] At least seven local government officials were killed in a helicopter crash in Sudan’s eastern al-Qadarif state on Sunday, state news agency SUNA reported. The state’s governor and three security officials were among the dead. A number of people were also injured in the incident, SUNA said. The officials had been carrying out a security tour of the province. It was not immediately clear what caused the crash.
[PULSE.NG] Several women have come forward in Brazil to accuse an internationally known self-proclaimed spiritual healer of sexually abusing them under pretext of trying to "cure" them of depression or other problems.
The allegations against Joao Teixeira de Faria, 76, better known as "Joao de Deus" ("Joao of God") were made late Friday on a program on the widely viewed Globo Television network.
A Dutch choreographer identified as Zahira Leeneke Maus and nine Brazilian women who remained anonymous accused Faria of making them masturbate him or perform fellatio, which he insisted was the only way to transfer his "cleansing" energy to them.
Maus also told the program that Faria had raped her.
The associated O Globo newspaper later reported that it had spoken to two other women who gave similar accounts of sexual abuse by Faria, bringing the total to a dozen.
All the women said they were aged in their 30s when the alleged acts took place between 2010 and early this year in Faria's "spiritual hospital" in the town of Abadiania, close to the capital Brasilia.
A vehement denial
Globo's G1 news website cited a statement from Faria's press service saying he had used his powers to treat thousands of people over the past 44 years and "he vehemently rejects (allegations of) any improper practice during his treatments."
Faria's reputation reaches far beyond Brazil, with followers in the United States, Europe ...also known as Moslem Lebensraum... and Australia.
Oprah Winfrey, the US television celebrity and producer, visited Faria in 2013 to look into his "miracles."
Several media outlets have done critical investigations into Faria's claims of healing, and some uncovered previous allegations of sexual abuse and other improprieties for which Faria has never been prosecuted.
The fresh allegations aired by Globo come amid a global reckoning of alleged sexual misconduct by powerful men against women under the #MeToo campaign.

[MarketWatch] Getting to Work With: Kenn Ricci, principal of Directional Aviation Capital, shares the secrets to 'provocative' leadership and why pilots make good business leaders.
[Arizona Daily Sun] When most think of traffic congestion in Flagstaff, Milton Road often comes to mind but business for Dutch Bros. Coffee in Aspen Place at the Sawmill may have rivaled it with lines at the drive-thru stacking many cars deep.
However, the neighboring shops and those Dutch Bros. employees might be getting some relief with the opening of a second Flagstaff location.
Samantha Sanchez, the operator of Dutch Bros. Flagstaff, said they have already broken ground on the new store which will be located at the intersection of Fourth Street and Route 66 and is planned to open in the spring of 2019.
"We're really excited about it," Sanchez said, adding that the new location will also mean nearly doubling their 45-employee workforce.
And the new location has been some time in the making, Sanchez said.
Dutch Bros. acquired the lease for the land only about a year after the first location opened in April 2016 Sanchez said, after the Dutch Bros. corporate office identified it as a good location.
At the moment, Sanchez said, they serve about 1,500 drinks a day at the Aspen Place location but with the addition of a second shop, this is sure to increase.
But if neighboring business at Aspen Place hope anything, it’s that the second location will also divert some of their current customers to Fourth Street.
Last month, the real estate company that owns Aspen Place was forced to reconfigure the Dutch Bros. drive-thru to better handle the long lines which had begun to stretch past the neighboring Wildflower Bread Company, about 150 feet away.
"It wasn’t ideal," Sanchez said, estimating that some days, they see as many as 1,000 cars coming through their drive-thru a day.
[Dawn] A useful summary of events published this past Saturday.
The Daily Mail has photos and information about the events of Saturday and Sunday, and informs us that President Macron is supposed to speak to the nation on Monday — or perhaps later in the week. Update from France24 at 9:30 a.m. ET
French Interior Minister Christophe Castaner said 125,000 demonstrators had taken to the streets across the country, including 10,000 in Paris.
Paris and other French cities including Bordeaux, Lyon and Toulouse saw significant clashes between protesters and police.
About 120 protesters and 20 law enforcement officials were injured nationwide, the interior minister said. Nearly 1,400 people were arrested.
French PM Edouard Philippe called for dialogue and said President Emmanuel Macron would soon be proposing measures to “nourish” that dialogue and rebuild national unity.
[AA.TR] Hundreds in Montenegrin capital Podgorica wearing yellow vests protested the government over an placed in durance vile Yez got nuttin' on me, coppers! Nuttin'! politician.
The yellow vests attended the demonstration held by a pro-opposition group, who were protesting the arrest of Nebojsa Medojevic.
The protesters gathered in front of the Montenegrin Parliament to walk towards the president's office and government building.
Many opposition leaders and Democratic Front (DF) politicians joined the protests.
One of the DF leaders Andrija Mandic said in a speech that life of Medojevic is risked, who was sentenced to two months prison term.
Mandic said that they would be able to change Montenegro when they compared the attendee figure of Podgorica protest with the ones in Gay Paree.
He added that they have to be brave and determined.
Mandic called on people, who were absent in Sunday's protests, for attending the next protests to be held on Wednesday.
The demonstration ended peacefully after speeches.
Since Nov. 17 thousands of protesters -- wearing yellow vests -- have been gathering in major French cities including Gay Paree to protest President Emmanuel Macron's controversial fuel tax hikes and the deteriorating economic situation.
The demonstrators, who generally live in rural areas due to high rents in the cities, have called on Macron to cut fuel taxes and ease their economic difficulties.
According to a recent survey, 84 percent of the French people -- mostly from the middle-income group -- support the protests.
Fuel prices in La Belle France have risen more than 20 percent this year.
This movement spread to Belgium and Netherlands in a short time.

But it's ok for you to lecture to us about how we are so evil for not going along with your "green" initiatives and how racist we are for not allowing the "immigrants" in.
How about all of you go fuck yourselves and run for the hills before your own people guillotine your asses?
[DAWN] Chief Justice of Pakistain Mian Saqib Nisar on Sunday took suo motu ...a legal term, from the Latin. Roughly translated it means I saw what you did, you bastard... notice of the murder of a woman and her daughter in Jahanian and sought its report from Punjab 1.) Little Orphan Annie's bodyguard
2.) A province of Pakistain ruled by one of the Sharif brothers
3.) A province of India. It is majority (60 percent) Sikh and Hindoo (37 percent), which means it has relatively few Moslem riots.... Inspector General of Police Amjad Javed Saleemi within three days.
The CJP had taken notice on a footage that went viral on social media showing that two women were murdered by their opponents when they (mother and daughter) were returning after attending court proceedings.
Taking notice of the issue, the CJP has directed the IGP to submit a report within three days.
Meanwhile, ...back at the cheese factory, all the pieces finally fell together in Fluffy's mind... the IGP constituted a team led by Khanewal District Police Officer Rana Muhammad Masoom to arrest the suspects involved in double murder outside court.
Taj Begum and her daughter Asma went to the sessions court to record their statements when two motorcyclists (their opponents) opened fire on them. Both the women suffered critical wounds and died on way to hospital.
The IGP said they had constituted teams to arrest the suspects.

[DAWN] The civil society organizations have demanded of the government to take effective steps to promote girl education and discourage child marriages in the province.
A joint statement of various organizations issued here on Sunday in connection with International Human Rights Day said that according to Unicef report 21 per cent of girls in the country got married before reaching the age of 18.
The organizations including Pakhtunkhwa Civil Society Network, Peace Justice and Youth Organisation, Provincial Alliance to End Early Child and Forced Marriages, Blue Veins, National Action Coordination Group and Partners for Prevention and Response (P4pR) said that civil society and government should work jointly for rights of the vulnerable segments of the society.
The statement also quoted a report of Human Rights Commission of Pakistain (HRCP), saying the age of 74 per cent of the married girls in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa was less than 16 years.
"Child marriage is an appalling violation of human rights When they're defined by the state or an NGO they don't mean much... and robs girls of their education, health and long-term prospects," said Qamar Naseem, the programme coordinator of Blue Veins.
Pakhtunkhwa Civil Society Network coordinator Taimur Kamal said that by permitting child marriage, the government was responsible for serious harms suffered by the girls. He said that it required a comprehensive response to stop child marriage. "Having a law that sets a uniform, internationally recognised minimum marriage age of 18 for both boys and girls, is an important aspect," he said.
District Commission on Status of Women chairperson Shaheen Qureshi said that complications of pregnancy and childbirth were leading causes of death in young women. She said that girls, who married later and delayed pregnancy beyond their adolescence, had more chances to stay healthier and educate and build a better life for themselves and their families.

[Breitbart] Al Sharpton’s daughter bagged $95,000 in settlement money from New York City for spraining her ankle on an uneven Manhattan street‐even after posting photos of herself on social media climbing mountains and wearing high heels months after the fall.
Lawyers for New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio paid Dominique Sharpton, 32, a $95,000 settlement after admitting the city had been aware of the cracked pavement but did not fix it.
Hizzoner has been busy with more important issues, like global warming.
"After a thorough evaluation, we determined that settling this case was in the best interest of the city," a spokesman for New York City’s Law Department said in a statement.
The 32-year-old, who is Sharpton’s eldest daughter, sued New York City for $5 million in April 2015 for "severely" injuring her ankle while crossing an uneven Manhattan street in 2014.
"I sprained my ankle real bad lol," Dominique Sharpton wrote in an Instagram post after she took a tumble in October 2014.
Sharpton claimed in her lawsuit that she suffered from "permanent physical pain," but subsequent social media posts just months after the fall showed she had a very active lifestyle.
One of her Instagram posts showed Sharpton climbing mountains on vacation, while she sported high heels and climbed a ladder to hang Christmas decorations in other social media photos.
