-Lurid Crime Tales-
Ohio girl, 13, stabbed to death, and another 13-year-old girl is charged with her murder
Black on Black in the Projects — another lovely idea that went very wrong.
Just an innocent knife fight between teens. Who hasn't done the sort of thing in their youth?
We need to really crack down on semiautomatic assault knives
[CLEVELAND] A 13-year-old girl has been charged with murder after police say she stabbed another 13-year-old to death during a fight.

WLWT Channel 5 reports the teen suspect wept Wednesday during her first court appearance. She is accused of killing Nyaira Givens, 13, on Monday, and is facing two counts of murder and one count of felonious assault, Fox 19 reports.

Police tell the Cincinnati Enquirer that officers were called to a residence in the Winton Hills neighborhood of Cincinnati just after 9 p.m. Monday. The stabbing occurred in a green space between two homes, the Enquirer reports.

The two girls reportedly got into a fight and the suspect is accused of pulling out a pocket knife and cutting the side of the Givens’ neck. Givens was taken to Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center but died of her wounds.

Both girls were seventh-graders at the same school, Local 12 reports, and knew each other before the stabbing.

During Wednesday’s court appearance, a lawyer for the suspect argued that she be released to her mother. However,
a lie repeated often enough remains a lie...
the magistrate ordered she remain in jug, Local 12 reports.

Remember a BLM leader justified Black Kids and Teens having Knives just a few days ago.

So B.O.B claims another one. But is it a White or Asian Corporation's fault making the Knife...Not the users?

Using a mixture of BLOM and National-Socialist agenda illogical thought.

We shouldn't see this as a generational Racial issue, that needs AWOKE?

Should there be a requirement to REGISTER or BAN all knives in the Black community that have multi-blades, blades sharpened on both sides, blades longer than 1/2" and blades without a safety guard covering 90% of the blade?

Does the ATF need to add a Blade div. to address this generational issue?

Should there be a $200 Tax Stamp for One plus inch KBL's - Knife Blade Lengths.☺ ☻

This isn't possible ☻.
We have laws that prevent Criminals, thugs and Teens from having a Firearm.

Ironic that the dead Black Teen's name was TREVON. But I see the Media is already using every sweet looking picture of the Co-armed and also a teenage Shooter they can doctor up. Googled his name and noticed how as he got older he start lightening up to be White.

Business teacher, 49, 'sent nude pics and X-rated Snapchats to her teen boy student
Ick.
[KNEWZ] Houston, Texas area teacher Helen Page has been arrested and accused of carrying on an inappropriate relationship with a student over the phone.

According to KPRC in Houston, Texas teacher Helen Page, 49, began communicating with the 15-year-old last summer.

Investigators with the District Attorney’s Office found nude pictures during a forensic investigation of Page’s cellphone.

This led to a felony charge of "improper relationship with a student."

An Aldine Independent School District teacher was arrested and charged after being accused of an improper relationship with a student in the Houston area.

Helen Page, a business teacher at Texas’ Aldine Independent School district, and the student first met in her business studies class.

A witness later told Sherlocks that Page revealed the relationship to them and told them they were in "love."

New Jeffrey Epstein accuser emerges after Ghislaine Maxwell arraignment
[NYPOST] A new Jeffrey Want Some Candy, Little Girl? Epstein
...A high class pimp financier who was alleged to maintain a stable of underage whores sex slaves who were paid big bucks to entertain the rich and/or famous. He is a registered sex offender and made att least 17 out-of-court settlements with former members of his stable, with some cases still ongoing. 2011 court docs reveal that 21 email addresses and phone numbers for Bill Clinton and an aide were found in Epstein's electronic black book, and that Clinton frequently flew with Epstein on his private plane between 2002 to 2005. But really, they were probably just discussing finance or politix or something. While getting massaged. Then things got serious, Jeff was tossed in the slammer in New York and then he killed himself. Really. That's what happened...
accuser emerged Friday after the arraignment of Ghislaine Maxwell, the late pedophile’s former lover who allegedly procured girls for him to sexually abuse.

Danielle Bensky — a 34-year-old professional dancer — appeared outside Manhattan federal court after watching Maxwell plead not guilty to new sex-trafficking charges added to her indictment last month.

"I think it’s incredibly vindicating," Bensky said of the case against Maxwell.

"I think that after not having a trial for Epstein, I do believe that it’ll bring closure."

Bensky said she was 18 when Epstein victimized her,
...if she was eighteen at the time, she was not underage. So it’s just sexual harassment and prostitution, not child prostitution and statutory rape...
although she did not provide any details of the alleged abuse or claim Maxwell was involved.

Her Facebook page says she is a professional dancer and a former performer for Disney Crusie Line. She listed a number of dance schools she worked at as an instructor, including several across New York City and one in Hawaii.

Opposition SSNMC/A condemns ''assassination'' of chief of staff
[Sudan Tribune] The leadership of the South Sudan National Movement for Change/Army (SSNMC/A)
...successful independence of Christian/animist South Sudan from Muslim Sudan wasn’t good enough for them, so they joined up with the South Sudan Opposition Alliance to rebel against the new South Sudanese government, with about the results we’d expect...
has condemned the alleged liquidation of its chief of staff, General Abraham Wana Yoane in Kampala, Uganda.

The dear departed, the group said in a statement, was "attacked, badly beaten and left dead" on April 20.

"General Abraham departed this vale of tears that were inflicted by thugs of Juba and died today 22nd April 2012 in Kampala, Uganda," partly reads the statement issued on April 22.

The opposition movement described the dear departed as a "decorated and renowned freedom fighter" who sacrificed his life for the people.
So few freedom fighters manage to exercise the retirement plan.
"The liquidation of Gen. Abraham bears the hallmarks of Juba regime and its brutal national security are the prime suspects. SSNMC/A strongly condemned this barbaric and coward act by the elements of the Juba regime," further stressed the statement.

The SSNMC/A leadership extended its heartfelt condolences to the entire movement, immediate family members and friends of the dear departed.

Britain
UK Cuts Taxpayer Funded Aid to World’s Second-Largest Economy China by 95 Per Cent
[Breitbart] The United Kingdom has finally cut aid to the world’s second-largest economy and rising adversary China, but will still pay out nearly £1 million to the communist country for "human rights
...which are often intentionally defined so widely as to be meaningless...
" work.

Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab announced the reduced aid, which was part of a £4 billion cut in taxpayers’ money going overseas, in a written statement delivered to Parliament on Wednesday. The United Kingdom’s pledged aid fell temporarily from 0.7 per cent GDP to 0.5 per cent in response to the economy being ravaged by the effects of the Chinese coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague)
...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men...
Mr Raab announced a range of reductions in Official Development Assistance (ODA), but the "most draconian" cuts — as phrased by the establishment Times — came down on China, falling from £18 million to around £900,000.

Raab said: "In China, I have reduced FCDO’s ODA for programme delivery by 95% to £0.9m (with additional ODA in this year only to meet the contractual exit costs of former programmes).

"The remaining £900,000 will fund programmes on open societies and human rights."

Russian government agency demands Youtube lifts block on Russia Today
Direct translation of the article in Russian Spring
The Federal Service for Supervision of Communications, Information Technology and Mass Media (Roskomnadzor) demanded that the YouTube video hosting service remove the blocking from the RT channel as soon as possible.

This was reported in the department.

“Roskomnadzor sent a letter to the management of Google LLC demanding that all restrictions be lifted from the YouTube channel RT, owned by the Russian media, as soon as possible.

Earlier, the video hosting blocked a number of materials from the Russian channel, and also limited the possibility of publishing video materials and conducting live broadcasts under the pretext of spreading false information about the new coronavirus infection COVID-19 and its consequences.

The letter from Roskomnadzor notes that such actions by the YouTube video hosting administration violate the key principles of free dissemination of information, unhindered access to it, and constitute an act of censorship against the Russian media.

The department demands to remove all restrictions as soon as possible, as well as explain the reasons for their introduction.

According to Russian law, ignoring warnings by the owners of Internet resources about violations of the rights of Russians on the Internet, including censorship of Russian media, entails the imposition of administrative fines of up to 1 million rubles. A repeated refusal to comply with the requirements will entail a multiple increase in fines - up to 3 million rubles, ”- said in the information of Roskomnadzor.

More from reserve FSB Col. Igor Girkin V Kontakte page:
“Roskomnadzor accused YouTube of regularly censoring Russian media.

"Films that were broadcast on Russian federal channels and do not contain age restrictions, according to the YouTube administration, can only be accessed by adult viewers," RKN quoted Interfax as saying.

It is clarified that many videos are played only after registration on a video hosting service or additional consent to view the content - under the pretext of its inconsistency with the age category. Also, videos are subject to blocking, "which convey to the viewers of the video hosting a position that differs from the position adopted in the West."

Last year, YouTube restricted access to Russian media accounts nine times and three times to their materials, and in four months in 2021, three accounts and five materials from Russian media were blocked.

The RKN also said that since 2012, more than 71 thousand materials with child pornography, calls for extremism, pro-drug and suicidal content and other socially dangerous information have been found on the social network. But YouTube hasn't removed nearly 6,000 of them.

On the eve, YouTube blocked four videos on the English RT channel. The reason was the alleged misinformation about COVID-19. "

[ENGLISH.AAWSAT] Jordan’s prosecutor has released 16 detainees in the "sedition case" at the directives of King Abdullah II, but kept two key suspects.

The King responded to the appeal of various tribes from Jordanian governorates, who submitted a petition asking him to show tolerance towards their loved ones.

After the meeting, the Royal Court issued a statement announcing that the King directed the concerned officials to follow the appropriate legal mechanism, to release those "misled, wronged, dragged behind this sedition" so they could be with family as soon as possible during the Moslem fasting month of Ramadan.

The monarch described the recent events as "painful", stressing that had the "sedition" not been halted, "it could have taken the country in a difficult direction."

The King asserted his confidence in the kingdom's institutions, indicating that his duties are to serve and protect the people and the country.

The case refers to the plot to "destabilize the country" launched earlier this month, which was foiled by the authorities. The King’s half-brother, Prince Hamza, was suspected of involvement.

Authorities arrested 18 people accused of attempting to destabilize the Kingdom and referred their case to the court after completing the final stages of the investigation.

State Prosecutor General Hazem al-Majali said on Thursday that the former royal court chief, Bassem Awadallah, and Sharif Hassan bin Zaid would remain in detention.

Majali indicated that they were not released for their different roles, the type of their indictment, and the level of incitement that differs from the rest of the defendants who were freed.

FDA ends pause on Johnson & Johnson vaccine
[HotAir] Earlier today, Allahpundit wrote about the latest data on medical complications connected to the Johnson & Johnson vaccine. The bottom line is that the chance of developing a serious blood clot is exceedingly slim, around 7 per million in women under 50. On the heels of that news, a CDC committee voted this afternoon to resume distribution of the J&J vaccine:

#5  I read something about a correlation between the women who had blood clot problems with the J&J blood clots and being on birth control hormones...

Protests against German Covid policies have occurred regularly in Germany since April, 2020, and have their own Wikipedia page. We haven’t had anything even close here in America.

#6  Some of that is, I think, because here in America, we don't protest it, we just move on. At the Daytona flea market yesterday (a very big place) I'd say the mask using percentage was single digit.
