[NYPOST] The mother of one of the teens who turned themselves in for the savage sidewalk beating of a 15-year-old girl "wanted to kill him with my bare hands" when she saw the caught-on-camera attack, she told The Post Saturday.
"I’m angry and very disappointed in him. I did not teach him to act like an animal in the street," said Donna Howell, 42, whose 14-year-old son Alex was charged with robbery and gang assault for the beatdown.
The victim had been walking along Utica Avenue in Crown Heights Thursday when she was ambushed by the teen horde, authorities said.
Video footage captured the group punching and kicking the girl in the head as she lay helpless on the pavement, finishing off the attack by snatching her Air Jordan 1 retro sneakers off her feet.
"I watched the video twice, it kept popping up on my feed," said Howell, who was getting her eyelashes done at the time. "I realized, that’s my kid. I just went numb. [The eyelash technician] said, ’You look like you just saw a ghost.’ I was beyond shocked."
"When I saw the video, I wanted to kill him with my bare hands. Why would you stomp on somebody you don’t know? You don’t jump on a woman," she said. "If I was that girl’s father, I would want to kill all of them. This is unacceptable on all levels. You don’t ever put your feet on someone, and you definitely do not treat a female like that."
Howell says she confronted her son, who is in 8th grade, and forced him to turn himself in at the 77th Precinct Station House.
"He has been in trouble before, but not this kind of trouble. I don’t expect him to be perfect, but I expect him to be respectful in the street," she said.
Four other teenage boys also turned themselves in and were charged, police said. All five were awaiting arraignment at Kings County Criminal Court Saturday.
Investigators believe the group attack may have been retaliation for a fight earlier in the school day where the girl allegedly beat up another student, sources said.
Police have charged five teenage boys in connection with a brutal gang assault and robbery that was caught on camera in Brooklyn.
The NYPD says that five boys, ranging in age from 14 to 17 years old, turned themselves in at the 77th precinct.
All five were charged as minors with robbery and assault. Their fate will be decided in Family Court.
Tony Herbert, a community advocate, has spoken with the mother of one of the teenagers who is charged in this crime, that mother is apologizing to the victims family and says she is also willing to purchase new Air Jordans for the victim.
Possibly a different mother than the one above...
The girl was taken to a hospital for bruising and trauma. She is expected to recover.

For thousands of years that instruction was carried out by the prime male of the family unit, sometimes requiring the application kinetic energy via Pavlovian response techniques.

If it is no big deal why does anyone need all the extra protectipn? Why is cash now tainted? Why are postal service employees who deliver wearing protection? Why does Amazon sell its own brand name hand sanitizer? Why can't them people.just stay on the crisis shop and go on vakay? Why is everyone exposing their countries? Why is the government of the united states who sold part of the tech to China under Obama not protecting their country still that has allowed this to happen? No big deal carry on look the other way ? Looks like everyone is going to get what is coming for them after all!
[FoxNews] A New Jersey gun owner is fighting charges for carrying a firearm for which he had a permit and ammunition state police have publicly said is legal.
Roosevelt Twyne, a 25-year-old African-American security guard, was arrested by Roselle Park Police in February after a traffic stop stemming from tinted windows on his car. Evan Nappen, Twyne's attorney, told the Washington Free Beacon that his client was then erroneously charged for illegally carrying a firearm and being in possession of so-called hollow point ammunition.
"He was arrested for the hollow point ammunition," Nappen told the Free Beacon. "Then they claimed he was transporting his handgun illegally. He had a permit to carry a handgun. The law … makes it clear that it's illegal to transport unless you are licensed pursuant to chapter 58. And that is precisely what a handgun carry permit is."
Nappen said the ammunition that led to Twyne's arrest was the same ammunition issued by his employer. He also pointed to a New Jersey State Police website that says the polymer-tipped Hornady "Critical Duty" ammunition in question is "not considered to be hollow point ammunition" and not illegal to possess in the state—the website goes so far as to specifically name "Critical Duty" as an example of legal ammunition.
"It's lawful," Nappen told the Free Beacon. "It's publicly announced as lawful because it is. It's not hollow. It's filled."
Roselle Park police chief Daniel J. McCaffery did not return a request for comment. The Union County Prosecutor's Office did not respond to questions about the charges against Twyne but did say his case will be heard next month in New Jersey Superior Court.
The charges against Twyne are representative of the difficulties of navigating New Jersey's gun laws, which are among the strictest in the nation. They may also reveal issues in the police's understanding of the state's voluminous, complex gun restrictions. The case also shows how disruptive gun-related charges can be, even when the accused has a clean record and is not alleged to have done anything violent.
Twyne said he has not been able to work in nearly a month and his life has been turned upside down.

The unidentified man walked up to an NYPD Traffic Enforcement Division vehicle on 7th Avenue near 92nd Street in Bay Ridge Friday morning, at first sizing up his "victim," cops said.
After glancing over his shoulder, he loses his cool and hurls an unknown object at the windshield, the footage shows.
He then runs up and begins repeatedly punching the car window, the video shows.
He then whacks the passenger side mirror, breaking part of it off, officials said.

[Bloomberg] Saudis Plan Big Oil Output Hike, Beginning All-Out Price War
Saudi Arabia plans to increase oil output next month, looking to boost it well above 10 million barrels a day, as the kingdom responds aggressively to the collapse of its OPEC+ alliance with Russia.
The world’s largest oil exporter started a price war on Saturday by slashing pricing for its crude for foreign markets by the most in at least 20 years, offering unprecedented discounts for buyers in Asia, Europe and the U.S. to entice refiners to purchase Saudi crude at the expense of other suppliers. Gotta make up for the loss of all those Hajj $$
At the same time, Saudi Arabia has privately told some market participants it could raise production much higher if needed, even going to a record of 12 million barrels a day, according to people familiar with the conversations, who asked not to be named to protect commercial relations. With demand being ravaged by the coronavirus outbreak, opening the taps like that would throw oil market into chaos. LOLGF Iran
In the first instance, Saudi production is likely to rise above 10 million barrels a day in April, from about 9.7 millions a day this month, according to people familiar with Saudi thinking. Production limits agreed by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and its erstwhile partners expire at the end of the month, opening the way for producers to ramp up output.
“That’s the oil market equivalent of a declaration of war,” said a commodities hedge fund manager, asking not to be named due to the sensitivity of the situation. The Saudi Energy ministry didn’t respond to a request for comment.
MAXIMUM PAIN
The shock-and-awe Saudi strategy could be an attempt to impose maximum pain in the quickest possible way to Russia and other producers, in an effort to bring them back to the negotiating table, and then quickly reverse the production surge and start cutting output if a deal is achieved.
GETTING NASTY
In one of the most significant pricing moves, Aramco widened the discount for its flagship Arab Light crude to refiners in northwest Europe by a hefty $8 a barrel, offering it at $10.25 a barrel less than the Brent benchmark. In contrast, Urals, the Russian flagship crude blend, trades at a discount of about $2 a barrel less than Brent. Traders said the Saudi move was a direct attack at the ability of Russian companies to sell crude in Europe.
“This is going to get nasty,” said Doug King, a hedge fund investor who co-founded the Merchant Commodity Fund. “OPEC+ is going to pump more, and the world is facing a demand shock. $30 oil is possible.”
Oil traders are looking to historical charts for an indication of how low prices could go. One potential target is $27.10 a barrel, reached in 2016 during the last price war. But some believe the market could go even lower.
“We’re likely to see the lowest oil prices of the last 20 years in the next quarter,” said Roger Diwan, an oil analyst at consultant IHS Markit Ltd. and a veteran OPEC watcher, implying that the price could fall below $20 a barrel.

They'll be back to the table. They can increase output maybe 20%, but prices will fall 60%. These devastating price decreases are precisely why OPEC formed in the first place. Of course mere desire doesn't keep cartels alive. What enabled OPEC to survive? The small number of big producers - a few dozen in total, at best. And the fact that once used as fuel, oil byproducts can't be recycled.
What’s the workforce participation of the country’s men? And of those on a payroll, how many are actually acting in ways that we in the rest of the world would describe as working, as opposed to swanning in after the staff have been hard at it for most of the day, drinking a cup of coffee, giving a few orders that are ignored, then swanning off hours early on the days they bother to come in at all?

When I was there (25 years ago), the government had embarked on a huge "Saudiization" program. They simply listed job titles for which they would not renew foreign visas the next year.
The problem they ran into, frankly, was that Saudis didn't like to work.

[Red State] Unfortunately for the Democrats, Joe Biden still has to campaign, they can’t just hide him away, hope he gets the nomination and doesn’t have to do anything to get to the general election.
As long as Biden is talking, that’s a problem for the Democrats.
He was in Missouri campaigning on Sunday and he could barely get his words out. According to Townhall, he even managed to mispronounce his own name, urging people to vote for him because he was a "lifelong Democrat," an "Obiden Bama Democrat."
"Turn this primary from a campaign which is about negative attacks to one that’s about what we’re for. Because we cannot get re-elect, we cannot win this re-election, excuse me. We can only re-elect Donald Trump," Biden said to his supporters. Go back to eating paste and licking windows and children, Joe

If the Trump folks aren't taking that sound bite and preparing ads they are fools.
"We can only re-elect Donald Trump," Biden's voice.
"I'm Donald Trump and I approve of this message," Trump's voice.
Easy as can be and if folks whine that it's taken out of context they can play the whole clip that makes Biden sound lie he is senile and got with that instead.

#4 Kamala Harris endorsed former 2020 rival Joe Biden
Biden is the Dem deepstate choice because he is controllable. If he won, a lot of his/their problems would go away. A possibility is the DS will stick Hillary on the ticket as his VP. They might then push the 25th Amendment to remove Balmy Biden and install Hillary. I dunno but it is a scenario that might have occurred to them. I don't think it will happen. IMHO, Trump will win big.

[DAWN] SpaceX successfully launched another load of station supplies for NASA late Friday night and nailed its fiftieth rocket landing.
The Falcon rocket blasted off with 1,950 kilogrammes of equipment and experiments for the International Space Station. Just minutes later, the spent first-stage booster made a dramatic midnight landing back at Cape Canaveral, its return accompanied by sonic booms.
"And the Falcon has landed for the 50th time in SpaceX history," SpaceX engineer Jessica Anderson announced amid cheers at Mission Control. "What an amazing live view all the way to touchdown."
The Dragon capsule, meanwhile, hurtled toward a Monday rendezvous with the space station.
It's the twentieth station delivery for SpaceX, which has launched nearly 45,360 kilogrammes of goods to the orbiting outpost and returned nearly that much back to Earth since it began shipments in 2012. Northrop Grumman is NASA's other commercial shipper.
SpaceX founder and chief executive Elon Musk said it was the windiest conditions ever 40 km/h to 48 km/h for a booster landing at Cape Canaveral, but he wanted to push the envelope. The landing was the fiftieth successful touchdown of a SpaceX booster following liftoff, either on land or at sea.

Skid any thoughts as to when or if SpaceX will build its own space station? Would seem a logical but expensive option for future solar system launches.
on the other hand I look at the tiny capsule they are planning to send to Mars. The line "spam in a can" comes to mind.
