-Lurid Crime Tales-
30 Shot Friday into Sunday Morning in Mayor Lightfoot's Chicago
[BREITBART] Thirty people were shot, two fatally, Friday into Sunday morning across Mayor Lori Lightfoot
...the diminutive and vacuous Heronner da Mare of Chicago. When the corpse count rises she blames the guns, which are banned anyway...
’s (D) reliably Democrat Chicago, aka The Windy City or Mobtown
...home of Al Capone, the Chicago Black Sox, a succession of Daleys, Barak Obama, and Rahm Emmanuel...
.Breitbart News reported 11 were shot, one fatally Friday evening into Saturday morning. Approximately 24 hours later ABC 7 reported figures of 30 shot, two dead.

A number of the shooting victims were maimed while sitting on porches or in vehicles.

For example, a 37-year-old woman standing on a porch "in the 2500 block of West 69th Street" was shot in the buttocks Saturday at 9:20 p.m. by someone driving by in an SUV. She was transported to a hospital in good condition.

One I know of prefers 6.5 Creedmore. That said, SteveS has the short answer. One fellow he whomped decided he wasn't dead. I believe guide has a .45 as a sidearm and was put to use at such a range I feel there is no exaggeration at the narrow distance.

Israeli Court rules to extradite Malka Leifer
Good. It’s long overdue.
[JPost] The former girls' school principal, wanted in Australia on 74 charges of sexual abuse and rape of minors, has evaded extradition for over six years.

After six years of court proceedings, the Jerusalem District Court finally ruled today (Monday) to extradite suspected sex offender Malka Leifer to Australia where she is wanted on 74 charges of sexual abuse and rape of minors.

The ruling is another major milestone in a case that has been beset by alleged political interference and highly unusual legal claims about mental competence for extradition, which has severely delayed the extradition process.
Anyone capable of rising in the teaching hierarchy to become a school principal should be presumed mentally competent to stand trial.
Leifer can now appeal the extradition decision to the Supreme Court. If the court rejects the appeal, the justice minister can then sign off on the extradition, a decision which can also be appealed to the Supreme Court.

Should the court reject that appeal, Leifer will be extradited to Australia.

At the beginning of September, the Supreme Court rejected Leifer's appeal against the decision handed down by the Jerusalem District Court in May that she was mentally fit for extradition.

Lefier has evaded extradition to Australia for six years by claiming to be mentally unfit for trial or extradition, and the Supreme Court ruling finally closed that central aspect of her legal fight with a definitive ruling which completely rejected that claim.

#4  Is Fox Butterfield writing for the Daily Mail now?
Posted by: charger || 09/21/2020 13:36 Comments || Top||

#5  You know why they haven't fought a war? By having a military that people don't want to fight. Defunding the military is an easy way to permanent peace... the kind where you end up in a box and your country ends up in the dustbin of history.
