Jan 23 (Reuters) - Seven people were killed in a mass shooting at two locations in the coastal northern California city of Half Moon Bay on Monday, and the suspect was arrested after driving to a police parking lot, apparently attempting to turn himself in, officials said.
The shooting in Half Moon Bay, about 30 miles (50 km) south of San Francisco, came on the heels of another mass shooting in the southern California city of Monterey Park on Saturday that killed 11 people.

Third mass shooting in California last night. 8 shot. Appears to be latin gang festivities.

It could be coincidence, Glenmore. The first one was upset about his wife, for some reason, while the second one was a farm worker who gunned down coworkers.

Skid, the obvious answer is stricter gun control.

[FoxNews] The $3 million judgment against Robin Niceta should 'send a message' that her type of misconduct 'should not be tolerated,' said the judge.
A Colorado judge ordered a disgraced social worker to pay $3 million in damages to an Aurora city councilwoman in a defamation case based on a false child abuse report leveled against the city leader.
"This award is made, in part, 'to send a message that this kind of conduct cannot and should not be tolerated by anybody,'" Arapahoe County Judge Elizabeth Beebe Volz wrote in her order, which was obtained by Fox News Digital.
Former Arapahoe County social worker Robin Niceta was arrested in May of last year and charged with a felony count of suspicion of attempting to influence a public servant and a misdemeanor count of making a false report about child abuse. The report claimed that Aurora Councilwoman Danielle Jurinsky inappropriately touched her own toddler.
The tip was made on Jan. 28, one day after Jurinsky went on a radio show to speak out against then-Aurora Police Chief Vanessa Wilson. She described the city’s top police officer as "trash" who needed to be ousted over allegedly throwing "police officers under the bus," overseeing the city facing mounting shootings, as well as police staffing shortages.
What Jurinsky did not know during the interview was that the police chief was dating Niceta at the time. Wilson was ultimately fired as Aurora’s police chief over unrelated matters to Niceta, and told Fox News Digital last year that the couple is no longer together, and she wants "nothing to do with [Niceta]."
An investigation was launched after Niceta allegedly filed the anonymous tip, which ultimately cleared Jurinsky of any wrongdoing, but left the councilwoman in a fearful limbo for two weeks that she might lose custody of her son.
Jurinsky added that "the most horrifying conversations I ever had to have in my life," included explaining the investigation to her child's doctor and teacher.
Niceta resigned from the Arapahoe County child protective services one day after she was questioned by authorities over the tip against Jurinsky.
The arrest affidavit stated the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Department found the tip against Jurinsky was made from Niceta’s personal cell phone. Niceta has since been charged with filing a false report and pleaded not guilty to criminal charges last month.
The judge’s ruling in the civil case comes after Jurinsky filed a lawsuit against Niceta for slander, libel and outrageous conduct. Niceta failed to appear for any of the court dates in the case, pushing the judge to enter into a default judgment against Niceta. Of the $3 million awarded to Jurinsky, $1.5 million is allotted for actual damages and the other $1.5 million for punitive damages.
"In my lifetime I will not see $3 million from Robin Niceta," Jurinsky told CBS Colorado after the judge’s ruling was issued. She added that she was focused on holding "Robin accountable for her actions against me," and was not focused on the monetary award.
Jurinsky said she is focusing on Niceta’s upcoming trial in May for the criminal charges.
"I hope for the maximum six years she is facing. I hope she is sitting behind bars for all six of those years and I have nothing to garnish- nothing. I want her in a prison cell for six years," Jurinsky told CBS Colorado.
"Our children are off the table. I hope to live rent-free in Robin Niceta's head for the rest of her life," Jurinsky added.
Niceta, as well as the Arapahoe County Department of Human, is also facing a class action suit over allegedly "baselessly" removing children from their parents.
In that case, Niceta is accused of making sexual advances towards women she was actively investigating in her role as a social worker for the Arapahoe County Department of Human Services and trying to separate children from those women's families if her advances were spurned, according to the lawsuit. Other accusations include falsifying abuse or neglect complaints in a bid to separate children from their parents or caretakers; introducing false testimony into judicial proceedings; and introducing false and fabricated evidence into court proceedings.
[FoxNews] A Houston judge is being criticized after a Texas man with eight prior felony convictions was given a $1 bond after allegedly beating a woman over several days as he held her inside his car.
Andy Kahan, director of Crime Stoppers in Houston, is pushing for the Texas Legislative Session to pass a new bill to prevent violent criminals from getting out of jail with a "get out of jail free card."
Kahan joined "Fox & Friends First" Monday after the suspect was arrested again for allegedly threatening the same victim.
"We just passed a law last legislative session that basically said you can no longer give out PR bonds, personal reconnaissance bonds, or what we call 'get out of jail free cards.' So what this particular court said was, OK, I can't give you a PR bond. I'll just go ahead and make it a dollar for a total of $2," Kahan explained, saying it "simply defies logic."
Aubrey Taylor, 43, was granted the low bond on Jan. 13 by 232nd Criminal District Court Judge Josh Hill, FOX26 Houston reported.
Taylor was arrested again on Jan. 18 for violating those orders and threatening the victim.
Kahan called for a new bill to place a "minimum mandate" so defendants who are charged with violent crimes must face a more expensive bail.
Kahan said that in addition to the two violent offenses that Taylor is now charged with, he has eight prior felony convictions, two of them for robbery.
Citing court documents, Fox 26 reported that Hill set the bond at $1 to show how he felt about the state’s law that requires those accused of violent crimes to put up cash to get released on their own personal recognizance (PR).
In 2021, Gov. Greg Abbott signed the legislation, effectively getting rid of cashless release.

Would probably be far better to publicly flog impeach judges who play these games than write a phone book size set of laws trying to cover all such miscreant acts. Pour encourager les autres!

The cartels meet the criteria of terrorists organizations. It will probably be 2025 before they will be designated and the wall finished. At that point the pendulum will swing in the other direction. GITMO will be a good place for them.

[NYPOST] Spotify will lay off some 6% of its 6,600-strong workforce as the streaming giant is the latest tech firm to undertake cost-cutting measures to cope with a struggling economy.
The Sweden-based company will shed some 400 employees who will be paid an aggregate of between $38 million and $48 million in severance, according to Bloomberg News.
Spotify also announced the departure of Dawn Ostroff, the company’s chief content and advertising business officer. Ostroff leaves amid a company-wide reorganization.
A Spotify spokesperson referred The Post to a statement by company CEO Daniel Ek, who said that the firm was seeking to "improve efficiency."
"As part of this effort, and to bring our costs more in line, we’ve made the difficult but necessary decision to reduce our number of employees," Ek said.
[NYPOST] Banks are preparing to lay off tens of thousands of workers in an industrywide bloodbath that’s expected to become Wall Street’s largest since the 2008 financial crisis, according to a report.
The mass firings are looming after banks built up their workforces over the last two years as mergers and acquisitions, initial public offerings and SPACs flooded in.
At the same time, most banks had halted their annual culling of 1% to 5% during the pandemic. Now, some banks are facing investment banking revenues that have been cut in half even as payrolls have ballooned.
Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Credit Suisse and Bank of New York Mellon have already slashed more than 15,000 jobs combined over the past few months, the Financial Times reported. Those cuts could be just the beginning, according to some industry insiders.
"Banks hired in a crazy fashion over the last few years," John Breault, CEO of recruiting firm Breault & Smith, told The Post. "So far these layoffs have been normal retrenchment but things could get worse."

Wall Street has long been bang’n’bust with regard to employment. Banks in the hinterlands go on hiring sprees when Wall Street sheds highly trained, excess bodies.

There is a scene in (Brenden Fraser) The Mummy when the boat they are on is sinking and the Warden asks, "What do we do?" and McConnel says something like, "Wait here, I'll go get help."
Squashed like a grape! The question is whether the gentleman is Antifa/Black Bloc, or just your plain vanilla communist agitator.

Not long ago hundreds of thousands of bison roamed the American prairie, burping and farting, and doing their thing. There should have been a massive influence on climate. But climate chose to go its own way as it has since time immemorial.

If there is Gas X for people, dogs and cats. Why doesn't Gates cough up some of his money to bankroll Gas X for cows? Personally, I don't think cow farts are a big problem. Maybe his money would be better spent to curb the hot air pollution from politicians.
