Yep, the asshole in the motorcycle helmet throwing shit in Paramount, CA
[10News] A man accused of assaulting federal officers during immigration protests in Los Angeles County has been taken into custody after surrendering at the San Ysidro Port of Entry.
The FBI and U.S. Attorney's Office announced the arrest of 39-year-old Elpidio Reyna, who faces a felony charge of assault on a federal officer.
The alleged assault occurred on June 7 in Paramount, Los Angeles County, during protests against immigration raids where demonstrators clashed with federal agents.
Reyna is accused of being the person in a now-viral video, seen in a motorcycle helmet, who appeared to throw objects at marked and unmarked federal vehicles. The FBI says those projectiles were concrete blocks.
Reyna had been on the run for over a month, with authorities saying he fled to Mexico.
Just two days after the alleged assault back in June, the FBI released a wanted poster featuring Reyna's license picture and images from the Paramount incident, warning that he should be considered armed and dangerous.
This arrest comes as the Department of Homeland Security reports ICE officials are facing an 830% increase in assaults since January compared to the same time last year.
According to the Department of Justice, assault on a federal officer can include physically attacking, refusing to comply, or engaging in conduct that obstructs or threatens an officer as they perform their duties.

[Regnum] On July 23, the Federal Security Service published footage of the detention of a foreign citizen who was planning an explosion at an oil refinery in Krasnodar Krai.
The man was detained in a dormitory room and taken in for questioning.
“I work at an oil refinery,” he said.
The detainee stated that he was planning to start an arson using the Molotov cocktails found on him.
The video shows two bottles of Molotov cocktails.
As reported by the Regnum news agency, the detainee was planning to set fire to an oil refinery facility in Krasnodar Krai. On July 23, the FSB reported that he was a native of Central Asia. The foreigner made an incendiary mixture and wanted to use it to start a fire in a dormitory building. His handler demanded that he film what he had done and then post the footage online.
After completing this task, he was going to join the ranks of an Islamist organization in Afghanistan.
ISIS-K? Al Qaeda? One of the dozens of foreign jihadi groups who settled there at the invitation of the Talibs? So many possibilities…
FSB officers prevented the terrorist attack, and a criminal case was opened against the foreigner for participating in the activities of a terrorist organization. He was taken into custody by a court decision.
[GEO.TV] A horrifying video emerged from Margat, Balochistan ...the Pak province bordering Kandahar and Uruzgun provinces in Afghanistan and Sistan Baluchistan in Iran. Its native Baloch propulation is being displaced by Pashtuns and Punjabis and they aren't happy about it... a few days back. A tribal jirga condemned a woman and a man for reasons still unfolding. They were led into the desert and executed at gunpoint. Their killers filmed the act, firing into their bodies as they lay crumpled, then circulated the footage as spectacle and warning.
It was barbaric and cold-blooded. It wasn't just a murder. It was a message. 11 suspects have been arrested, including the tribal head who ordered the killing. But the question is: what next?
There is no honour in this killing. There never is.
Between January and November 2024, the Human Rights Commission of Pakistain recorded 346 honour-related murders. Human rights defenders estimate the actual number exceeds 1,000 women a year. Most are murdered by male relatives. Few cases see conviction. And the deeper violence, legal loopholes, social complicity, and the quiet withdrawal of justice, remain unchecked.
Consider Farzana Parveen, three months pregnant, stoned to death by her family outside Lahore High Court in May 2014 for marrying without permission. The police stood by. The court she sought could not protect her.
Or Qandeel Baloch, Pakistain's most visible online figure, strangled by her brother in 2016. He was convicted, only to be acquitted in 2022 after their parents forgave him, exploiting the very legal compromise that Parliament had promised to end.
Or the Kohistan ...a backwoods district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa distinguished by being even more rustic than is the norm among the local Pashtuns.... case in 2012, where a jirga ordered the deaths of three girls seen clapping in a wedding video. Years later, convictions were delivered and then reversed.
Or Samia Shahid, a British-Pak woman raped and murdered by her ex-husband in 2016. She had married without her family's approval. Her father and ex-husband were arrested. The case is still pending in the courts.
And this year: Sana Yousaf, 17, bumped off in Islamabad by her cousin. A week later, a 16-year-old girl in Rawalpindi was killed by her father for refusing to delete her TikTok account. Both killings framed as shame. Both now reduced to criminal files. Whether either ends in conviction remains to be seen.
Each one of these stories should have led to sweeping reform. Instead, they have become grim footnotes in Pakistain's struggle between justice and patriarchy. The state's response, including rhetorical outrage, filing of FIRs and committee formation, has become so predictable that it now borders on a performance. When there is no follow-through, justice is reduced to a blurb.
As Bacha Khan once said, "If you wished to know how civilised a culture is, look at how they treat its women". Today, that remains the ultimate indictment of the systems that enable and excuse honour killings. A nation cannot call itself civilised when it allows its daughters to be hunted for choosing freedom.
Pakistain has legislated. In October 2016, parliament passed the Criminal Law (Amendment) (Offence in the Name or Pretext of Honour) Act, making honour killings punishable by life imprisonment even if the victim's family forgives the perpetrator. But the justice system continues to fail. Trials drag on. Complaints are poorly registered. And in this vacuum, illegal jirgas, tribal assemblies with no constitutional or legal standing, continue to operate.
In January 2019, the Supreme Court declared their functioning unlawful, especially in civil and criminal matters. Yet they still pass verdicts and order violence, often against women. Why is the state still allowing them to exist? Parliament must now legislate to unambiguously abolish these forums, particularly in matters of personal liberty and women's rights. If the state does not dismantle them, it enables them.

Hamas submitted a response to mediators yesterday, but mediators refused to forward it to Israel, calling it "not serious." They told Hamas leaders to revise and resubmit, per two sources cited by Jerusalem_Post.

[GEO.TV] Israeli attacks across Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... today have so far killed at least 31 people, including two aid seekers, Al Jazeera reported.
Additionally, 10 new deaths due to starvation have been recorded in the past 24 hours by hospitals in the Gaza Strip, according to the Health Ministry, bringing the total to 111.
Israeli troops leave Deir el-Balah in ruins
[GEO.TV] The Israel army has withdrawn from the southern part of Deir el-Balah. The military operated in this area for 24 hours, destroying residential buildings and causing severe destruction of civilian infrastructure, Al Jazeera reported.
If only there weren’t war tunnels wired with IEDs under all those building…
Civilians are worried about their safety, but they also have to think about how to get food.
They were warned to leave the fighting zone. If they chose to stay, what happens to them was their choice.
Displacement of civilians and expansions of the Israeli army's ground operations are adding layers and layers of complexity upon people battling for food. Many are unable to travel to the GHF because they are looking for a place where they can set up their makeshift tents and house their families.
