[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Attacker who tries to ambush couple walking their dog in Queens is stabbed seven times when his assault plan spectacularly backfires.
Surveillance footage shows how the 37-year-old attacker appeared to ambush two people walking with their dog near 49th and Broadway in Woodside on Wednesday afternoon, according to the NYPD.
The assailant, seen in video wearing a blue sweatshirt, throws a garment onto the floor before lunging at his victim from behind.
The victim ducks and turns, grabbing his attacker near the neck and pulling him to the floor before unleashing a flurry of attacks with a knife as his companion joins the assault.
Held to the floor, the original attacker is helpless to react as the couple beat him in broad daylight, with bystanders only looking on as the commotion unfolds.
The assailant eventually gets to his feet but is restrained by his intended victim, seen wearing a medical boot on his right foot, and held back from escaping.
He is currently in a stable condition, the New York Post reported.
The NYPD say the attack happened at around 2:46pm on Wednesday, and that they have not yet made any arrests. They say they are searching for two suspects, according to Fox 5.
Scot Peterson ranted outside a courtroom as he insisted he 'did nothing wrong' That might fly in the rest of the world, but in America we have a bias toward action, which means that doing nothing wrong is completely wrong if you did not do at least something right.
The former cop was acquitted last year of failing to stop the Parkland massacre
Footage showed him waiting outside while Nicholas Cruz killed 17 people

Admittedly, he and the others FAILED TO ACT in the Parkland mass shooting situation, cost lives. But wasn't he and others just scapegoats for higher ups?
HOWEVER,
But he does open a can of worms, that does need to be addressed.
Those that directed and/or applied malicious intent, should face Criminal Charges. Plus, those malicious persons should be forced to reimburse the wronged person(s) incurred costs from their own pockets and bank acct's.
NOT the Government.
Because when we boil it down. When Government pays, it is really using, you, the Taxpayer pocket $$$, to cover and fund their malicious acts.

There was a cacophony of sins especially with regarding policies recommended by the Biden Administration. None of the systematic ills were investigated or addressed. Higher level accountability never happened. All of the blame was heaped on Scot Peterson. Like the Biblical scapegoat, Scot was cast out into the wilderness. Looks like he has wandered back.

Starting around "2:24 PM: 2:24:14 (Peterson) “We’re talking about the 1200 building, it’s going to be the building off Holmberg Road.”
2:25 PM: Deputy reports shots fired by the football field.
Then it looks like Cluster Mess of misc info loaded the delay process.
So initially, Peterson stated he believed the gunshots were coming from outside the building. (like the April 20, 1999 Columbine High School, shooting scenario)
Either way there is no excuse for the 45 min delay.
[NYPOST] A Florida man, who aspired to become a police officer, admitted to sexually abusing his cousin during a police department job interview and now faces life in prison.
Stephen Bodley, 26, was convicted by an Orange County jury last week of sexual battery on a child, the office of State Attorney Andrew Bain said in a news release.
Bodley first mentioned "playing sexual games" in a sworn officer application with the Apopka Police Department.
He again mentioned the crime during an interview.
"The certified voice stress analysis examiner performed a voice stress examination on Bodley," Bain said.
"During the examination, the examiner asked Bodley to expand on concerning answers he provided in a pre-test questionnaire."
Bodley described sexually abusing a child years ago and admitted to it when he was asked to expand further.
Detectives tracked down the victim’s mother, who said Bodley and the victim had a close relationship, the Tampa Bay Times reported, citing an affidavit.
Fox News Digital has reached out to prosecutors.
The victim, a female, told the Florida Department of Children and Families about the abuse, saying it took place over several years, from when Bodley was around 14 to when he was about 19, the newspaper reported.

[Gateway] Tragedy struck as a former Obama campaign worker, and her wife lost their lives in a horrific car accident in California last week.
NBC Bay Area news reported Monday that Peggy Moore and her wife Hope Wood were killed while riding along in the Jeep pickup when it collided with a Chrysler sedan in rural San Diego County at about 11:15 p.m. Friday. The 60-year-old driver of the Jeep, along with the Chrysler’s driver, were also killed.
One passenger in the Jeep managed to survive the accident.
The medical examiner at the scene only identified Wood, 48, but a Facebook post on Sunday by the East Bay Stonewall Democratic Club revealed they died together in the crash. The 60-year-old Moore previously served as the president of the club.
"We at East Bay Stonewall Democratic Club are devastated to hear of the passing of our past President Peggy Moore and her wife, Hope Wood. Moore was a force of change in Oakland and the East Bay," the post read.

...were killed while riding along in the Jeep pickup when it collided with a Chrysler sedan in rural San Diego County at about 11:15 p.m.
My question - who ran into who? If the Jeep hit the Chrysler then the driver of the Jeep didn't see something (an intersection, highway merge, car in front with or w/o their lights on, etc.). Otherwise, check the grassy knoll off to the side.
[Breitbart] The government of Peru signed a Supreme Decree this weekend defining transexuality as a mental disorder as part of an update to the nation’s Essential Health Insurance Plan (PEAS), prompting outrage from the LGBTQIAP2S+ community.
While the definition, according to the Peruvian government, seeks to give access to those identifying as transgender or other gender identities to health insurance coverage, the decree has been met with fierce backlash by local LGBTQIAP2S+ activists and politicians.
The PEAS is a minimum healthcare benefit plan that Peruvian citizens receive when enrolling in the nation’s public, private, or mixed health insurance providers. PEAS provides for the basic medical procedures a citizen needs and contains a detailed list of outpatient medical care, tests, specialized consultations, and other treatments that patients may be entitled to according to their particular health condition.
The controversial decree stated that, following a review of the diagnoses included in the World Health Organization’s (W.H.O.) 10th International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10) that are included in the country’s PEAS health program, the omission of "seven (07) ICD-10 diagnoses" related to mental health problems were found, which, according to the decree, "should be incorporated" into the nation’s healthcare plans taking into account Peru’s mental health laws.

...Peru is where Dylan Mulvaney ran to escape the Bud Light mess.
[AFRICANEWS] Former President Ali Bongo of Gabon and his two youngest sons, Jalil and Bilal, have started a hunger strike to protest their "sequestration" and alleged "acts of torture" against family members. Their lawyers announced this on May 14, stating a lawsuit has been filed in the Gay Paree Judicial Court.
Lawyers Francois Zimeray and Catalina de la Sota aim to have a French judge investigate these allegations, especially as Gabon's leader since the August 2023 coup, General Brice Oligui Nguema, plans to visit Gay Paree soon.
An earlier complaint by Ali Bongo’s wife, Sylvia Bongo, filed on September 1, two days after the coup, was dismissed in October. The new complaint alleges "illegal arrest, aggravated sequestration with torture, and barbaric acts" against Ali, Sylvia, and their sons Noureddin, Jalil, and Bilal, noting that the first four are Frenchies.
The lawyers claim Noureddin has been tortured multiple times, and Sylvia was beaten and forced to witness these acts. Ali, Jalil, and Bilal are under house arrest, deprived of communication, and also tortured.
In March, the lawyers requested a UN working group to recognize the Bongos' "arbitrary detention" post-coup. General Nguema, who ended 55 years of the Bongo dynasty, was declared transitional president by the military shortly after the August 30 coup.
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] …in cutting-edge scheme targeting Ethereum blockchain
Two MIT-educated brothers, Anton Peraire-Bueno, 24, and James Peraire-Bueno, 28, arrested for allegedly stealing $25 million in crypto in April 2023
The fraud involved manipulating pending transactions in just 12 seconds
Pair studied computer science & maths at MIT, rejected pleas to return the funds
An indictment charged them with conspiracy to commit wire fraud, wire fraud, and conspiracy to commit money laundering.
Anton Peraire-Bueno was arrested in Boston, while James Peraire-Bueno was arrested in New York.
The indictment alleged that for months, the Peraire-Bueno brothers plotted to manipulate and tamper with the protocols used to validate transactions for inclusion on the Ethereum blockchain, a public ledger that records each cryptocurrency transaction.
Prosecutors said they did so by exploiting a vulnerability in the code of software called MEV-boost that is used by most Ethereum network 'validators,' who are responsible for checking that new transactions are valid before they are added to the blockchain.
It is believed that after carrying out the heist, the brothers rejected requests to return the funds and instead took steps to launder and hide the stolen cryptocurrency.
Over the course of several months the brothers learned the trading behaviors of the victim traders whose cryptocurrency they ultimately stole.
As they planned the supposed heist, they allegedly also took numerous steps to conceal their identities and lay the groundwork to conceal the stolen proceeds, including by setting up shell companies and using multiple private cryptocurrency addresses and foreign cryptocurrency exchanges, prosecutors say.

[REGNUM] "Robo, come here!" - these were the last words that Prime Minister of Slovakia Robert Fico heard after a visiting meeting of the country’s government in the town of Handlova. It took place in the city house of culture, and after the meeting the prime minister came out to the people who stood nearby to shake their hands. At this time, according to various testimonies, from three to five shots were fired.
Fico was wounded in the chest and abdomen. He started to fall, security grabbed him and put him in the car. According to Slovak media reports, the prime minister was sent first to a local hospital, and then by ambulance helicopter to the Roosevelt Hospital in Banska Bystrica.
The shooter was detained by security and police; he turned out to be a 71-year-old native of the Slovak city of Levice. The publication Denník N claims that the pistol from which the shots were fired was in legal possession.
Reports emerged that the person in question was Juraj Cintul, 71, a member of the Union of Slovak Writers and founder of the DÚHA literary club in Levice.
Later, reports emerged that the person in question was Juraj Cintul, a member of the Union of Slovak Writers and founder of the DÚHA literary club in Levice. Tsintula is the author of the novel “The Victim’s Message,” the story about the gypsies “Efata,” and three collections of poetry. One of the poems talks about the author's victory over death.
Not a terribly successful author, one assumes, described elsewhere on the internet by the dreaded provincial…
The first confession of the attacker has already been published. The elderly writer explained his actions this way: “I do not agree with the policy of the authorities, who have eliminated the independence of the mass media.”
According to the portal Pravda. sk, the attacker was walking near the cultural center, and when the prime minister came out, the man approached the crowd and suddenly shot Fico almost point-blank.
According to the source of the Pluska portal. sk, Prime Minister Fico's condition is very serious. “He was wounded in the stomach and arm. But at present his life is not in danger. They are going to operate on him,” the source said. Reuters, citing a hospital representative, reported that the Slovak Prime Minister was conscious upon arrival at the hospital, he was treated and his condition was stabilized.
Having announced the assassination attempt on Robert Fico, Deputy Speaker of Parliament Lubos Blaga, an ally of the prime minister in the Smer-SD party, closed the meeting for an indefinite period. After this, dissatisfied cries from the opposition were heard, to which Blaga meaningfully replied: “This is your job!”
At the moment, possible developments in the event that Fico does not survive are not publicly discussed in Slovakia. The media are discussing who will become acting prime minister in the event that the head of government himself becomes incapacitated for a long time. By law, this must be one of the deputy prime ministers, whose appointment is decided by the prime minister.
There are four deputy prime ministers in the Slovak government. One of them is Defense Secretary Robert Kaliniak. Since Kalinyak belongs to the same party as Fico, most likely he will be the acting head of government.
Robert Fico's coalition partner, the elected President of Slovakia Peter Pellegrini (Hlas-SD party), said that the assassination attempt on the Prime Minister constituted a threat to everything that adorned Slovak democracy. “ I am shocked at what hatred of other political views can lead to. We don't have to agree with everything, but there are many ways to express our disagreement in a democratic and legal way,” he said.
Pellegrini called the attack an unprecedented threat to Slovak democracy.
“ If we express other political views with weapons in squares and not in polling stations, we will jeopardize everything that we have built together during 31 years of Slovak sovereignty,” said the politician, who is due to take office as President of Slovakia on June 15 and Now he is urgently returning from abroad.
The leader of another political force included in the ruling coalition, Andrej Danko (Slovak National Party, SNS), said that what happened was the beginning of a “political war.” He said changes would inevitably follow in the attitude of the media and politicians of the former government. “I want to tell the opposition to shut up and respect the election results,” Danko said, adding that SNS supports Robert Fico.
And his party colleague, Deputy Prime Minister Tomas Taraba, wrote on social networks that “ the entire opposition has blood on its hands.”
In turn, all the leaders of the country's opposition parties condemned the assassination attempt and wished Robert Fico a speedy recovery. In particular, ex-presidential candidate of Slovakia from the pro-Western opposition, Ivan Korcok, called the attack on the prime minister an unacceptable act of violence and called for restraint until this act is investigated.
The Representation of the European Commission in Slovakia also condemned the assassination attempt on Robert Fico. “Violence has no place in our society,” his statement said. It noted that " this horrific act represents an attack not only on individuals, but also on our democratic values and principles."
Let us remember that Fico was previously subjected to sharp criticism from Brussels for his allegedly “pro-Russian” position.
It consisted, in the opinion of European bureaucrats, of consistent support for a peaceful resolution of the conflict in Ukraine. The Slovak head of government negatively assessed the position of the European Union on this issue; in his opinion, the EU was unable to come up with a peace initiative.
“ Peace must be at the top of the European agenda, because the EU was created as a peace project,” he noted in particular on May 2 at the conference “20 years of Slovakia’s membership in the EU - challenges and opportunities.”
Other words of the politician in the context of what happened look like an ominous prophecy.
Following the victory of his ally in the presidential election, who beat the pro-Western candidate in a bitter struggle, Robert Fico said that in the near future he expects Brussels to “revenge Korczok’s defeat.”
At the same time, the head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, also condemned the “dastardly attack” on the Slovak prime minister. “ I strongly condemn the cowardly attack on Prime Minister Robert Fico. Such acts of violence have no place in our society and undermine democracy, our most valuable common asset. My thoughts are with Prime Minister Fico and his family,” she wrote on the X* platform.
Leaders of other European countries and international organizations also condemned the attempt to assassinate the Prime Minister of Slovakia.
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban was one of the first to react to the assassination attempt. “I am deeply shocked by the horrific attack on my friend, Prime Minister Robert Fico,” the Hungarian leader wrote in X*, stressing that he “prays for his health and a speedy recovery.” In retweets to this publication, Ukrainian users left characteristic comments: “You’re next!”
A source from the Serbian publication Vecernje Novosti reported that Orban and Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic may visit the wounded Slovak prime minister in the “next two or three days. ”
In an emergency address to the people, the current President of Slovakia Zuzana Čaputová repeated the formulation of the EC representation that “this is an attack on the individual, but also an attack on democrac,” and called on people not to make hasty conclusions and to stop the “ rhetoric of hatred.” She noted that the police had arrested the criminal and would report this soon, and wished the Prime Minister a speedy recovery.
So far, the main version of what happened is that it was the result of a wave of hatred that the current opposition has been whipping up against Fico since the parliamentary campaign last year.
He was accused of all the deadly sins - working for the Kremlin, connections with the mafia, involvement in the murder of journalist Jan Kuciak, corruption... Now these attacks have intensified again in connection with the elections to the European Parliament, scheduled for early June.
“This is the culmination of those sentiments that are cultivated in society. This is a manifestation of hatred, an attack not only on a person, but also an attack on the prime minister, as well as an attack on the very essence of statehood,” said Slovakia’s Prosecutor General Maros Zilinka. Law enforcement agencies will respond to the assassination attempt uncompromisingly and will take all actions to ensure that the culprit is uncompromisingly and fairly punished, the Prosecutor General said on social media.
A similar opinion is shared by security expert and former director of the Office for the Protection of Officials and Diplomatic Missions Juraj Zabojnik.
“Society is polarized and there are people full of hatred,” he added. However, he said the attack could have had “several reasons,” but did not specify them.
Official Moscow paused after the first reports of the assassination attempt. This is not surprising, given the unfounded accusations of the Slovak prime minister of being “pro-Russian” - the Kremlin does not want to create additional problems for one of the few adequate European politicians.
Vladimir Putin sent a telegram to the President of Slovakia in which he asked to convey to Fico “words of the most sincere support, as well as wishes for a speedy and complete recovery.”
The Russian expert community speaks out much less diplomatically.
Philosopher Alexander Dugin wrote on his Telegram channel that “the assassination attempt on Fico is another blow from the West against those who dare to object to him.” According to a man whose family became a victim of terror, “not only the Kyiv Nazis, but also the modern globalist West itself is a terrorist organization that does not know any rules.” In this regard, Dugin believes that “ Russia should offer assistance to the Slovaks in investigating this disgusting crime, and perhaps in retribution. How can little Slovakia respond to globalist terror?! But we can."
In turn, Russian publicist Sergei Mardan believes that the current assassination attempt is a real shot at Sarajevo. “ Anything can happen next, even nuclear escalation, ” he noted on Telegram. And although Juraj Cintula is nothing like Gavrilo Princip, and Robert Fico is nothing like Archduke Franz Ferdinand, the spiral of European history is often very unusual.
Tense footage captured the moment the gunman who attempted to assassinate Slovakia’s prime minister was tackled to the ground and detained by police — as it was revealed the shooting was "politically motivated."
The video, obtained by the Guardian, showed a frantic crowd mobbing an individual moments after Prime Minister Robert Fico was struck with at least one slug to the stomach on Wednesday afternoon.
Slovakia’s interior minister Matúš Šutaj-Eštok later in the day said the shooting was "politically motivated" after the country’s recent presidential election. Fico was shot five times, officials said.
The attack left Fico in "extraordinarily serious" condition and "fighting for his life," Slovakian defense minister Robert Kaliňák said in a presser hours after the shooting, the Guardian reported.
"We do not have good news at the moment and we put our hope in the hands of the medical specialists at the hospital," he said, adding the prime minister’s "health is serious, his situation is bad."
Fico remained in surgery three and a half hours after first going under the knife, Kaliňák said.
Fico’s official Facebook page called the shooting an liquidation attempt.
The shooting happened in the town of Handlova, about 90 miles northeast of the capital Bratislava, where Fico was meeting with supporters.
Video also showed guards carrying a seriously injured Fico, 59, into a black government car, which then sped off.
"At this moment he is transported by helicopter to Banská Bystrica, because it would take too long to get to Bratislava due to the necessity of an acute procedure. The next few hours will decide," the Facebook post said.
Photos from the scene showed a white middle-aged man and a bloodied head being detained by police.
It was unclear what motivated the shooting.
A staunch conservative, Fico was elected to his third term as prime minister in September after campaigning with a pro-Russian and anti-American stance.
In Slovakia, the prime minister is the most powerful office. Numerous demonstrations have been staged in Bratislava in protest of Fico’s policies since his election.
Despite the tensions, Fico’s opponents in government condemned the shooting, and even canceled a planned protest after the attack.
"We absolutely and strongly condemn violence and today’s shooting of Premier Robert Fico," progressive Slovakia leader Michal Simecka said.
"At the same time we call on all politicians to refrain from any expressions and steps which could contribute to further increasing the tension," he added.
“This assassination attempt was politically motivated,” he said.
According to the minister, the attacker could have planned the attack shortly after the country's presidential elections, the second round of which took place on April 6.
Earlier, the Slovak TV channel TA3 showed footage of an elderly man declaring his disagreement with government policy. According to the channel, the video shows an assassination suspect who was detained by the police.
As reported by IA Regnum, an attempt was made on Fico on May 15 in the city of Gandlov after a meeting of the Cabinet, when he came out to the public. The shots rang out shortly after someone shouted at the politician, “Robo, come here.” After this, Fico fell to the ground. The moment of the assassination was caught on video.
The attacker was detained. He turned out to be a 71-year-old supporter of the liberal Progressive Slovakia party, writer Juraj Cintula. Previously, he openly expressed hatred towards Fico on social networks.
The wounded prime minister was taken to a Bratislava hospital by helicopter. His condition is assessed as very serious. According to media reports, the politician suffered a hemorrhage in the abdominal cavity.
It later became known that Fico’s operation was successful, his condition is stable and he is conscious.
Fico has repeatedly condemned sanctions against Russia, noting that they harm the people of Slovakia. In one of his speeches, he expressed the opinion that Moscow is not interested in a third world war. According to the Prime Minister, the Ukrainian conflict could have been extinguished at the very beginning. The politician also stated that he would not support Ukraine’s accession to NATO. In April 2024, Fico noted that Slovakia is interested in friendly relations with Russia.
More from regnum.ru The former head of the Kremlin protocol called the assassination attempt on Fico a failure of his security
Politicians often ignore the advice of security guards, which could also be the reason why the assassination attempt on Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico became possible. This was stated by the former head of the Kremlin’s presidential protocol, who worked under Mikhail Gorbachev and Boris Yeltsin, Vladimir Shevchenko.
“As for the work of security, politicians often treat its advice without due attention,” Gazeta.ru quoted the expert as saying.
At the same time, Shevchenko noted that there are cases when security guards behave too brazenly, which negatively affects the politician’s image. But too gentle behavior can lead to an increase in the likelihood of an assassination attempt. It is difficult to find a balance, the expert noted.
In any case, Shevchenko considers it a failure of the security that they could not prevent the attempt on Fico.
As Regnum reported, Fico was shot several times on May 15 in the city of Gandlova during his communication with local residents. The prime minister was rushed to the hospital and underwent surgery. According to the latest data, the operation was successful and he is conscious.
The current President of Slovakia, Zuzana Caputova, said that the shooter was detained, but did not name him. According to media reports, 71-year-old supporter of the liberal Progressive Slovakia party, writer Juraj Cintula, is accused of the assassination attempt.
Fico has repeatedly opposed the supply of weapons to Kyiv, and also called for the normalization of relations with Russia. According to the director of the Institute of Systemic Political Research and Humanitarian Projects, Anatoly Gagarin, it was the political position that could have become the reason for the assassination attempt. He also noted that the direct executor could have been used in the dark.
Even more from regnum.ru Slovak Prime Minister Fico successfully operated on after assassination attempt
The operation of the Prime Minister of Slovakia Robert Fico, on whom the assassination attempt was made, was successful, his condition is stable, he is conscious. The Slovak TV channel TA3 reported this on May 15.
“Fico successfully underwent surgery, his condition is stable and he is communicating,” the statement said.
It is noted that the attacker wounded the Prime Minister in the stomach, pelvis and injured a finger.
As Regnum reported, Fico was attacked on May 15 in the city of Gandlova, when he went out to talk with residents. He was shot several times by a man standing in the crowd. The victim was sent by helicopter to the hospital.
According to Slovak media reports, the attacker was detained. Allegedly, the shooter was a 71-year-old supporter of the liberal Progressive Slovakia party, writer Juraj Cintula. The current President of Slovakia, Zuzana Caputova, confirmed the detention, but did not name him.
Russian President Vladimir Putin expressed outrage over the assassination attempt on the Slovak prime minister. He noted Fico's courage and fortitude and wished him a speedy recovery.
Fico advocated the restoration of friendly relations with Russia, for which he was called a pro-Russian politician in the European media. Director of the Institute of Systemic Political Research and Humanitarian Projects Anatoly Gagarin believes that they tried to kill the head of government because of his political views.

[Regnum] The highest class X flare occurred on the Sun, the Institute of Applied Geophysics (IGG) reported.
As stated on the institution’s website, it was recorded at 05:09 Moscow time. The flash lasted 16 minutes. It was accompanied by a disruption of HF radio communications.
The outbreak was classified as a level X1.7 event. The observation showed that the level of danger is at level S2 (moderate) on a scale of five indicators.
As Regnum reported, on May 10 it became known that a magnetic storm of the fifth, highest level was observed on Earth for the first time in the last 20 years. From May 7 to May 9, the Sun ejected four clouds of plasma of exceptional size towards the planet.
On May 10, specialists recorded four outbreaks within 24 hours. On the night of May 11, the second strongest flare in seven years was recorded on the Sun, classified as an X5.8 event.
Director of the Institute of Terrestrial Magnetism, Ionosphere and Radio Wave Propagation named after. Pushkova RAS (IZMIRAN) Vladimir Kuznetsov, in a conversation with Regnum news agency, said that the sun is now at the peak of its activity, but there is no need to be afraid of magnetic storms.
