Brendan Depa, 17, can be named for the first time after the Seventh Judicial Court of Florida ruled that he would be transferred to adult court
He is facing an aggravated battery charge after he allegedly attacked Joan Naydich, 57, at Mantanzas High School on February 21
The teenager 'threw the teaching assistant onto the floor before repeatedly punching and kicking her '
A GoFundMe for the teacher has raised nearly $60,000. "I don't wanna go to jail!... I got more important places to be!" Documents seen by DailyMail.com show Depa was charged with battery three times in 2019 before the attack this month. He previously completed a Department of Juvenile Justice program. Sheriff Staly supported the decision to charge him as an adult in the latest incident.
According to Fox there used to be a school dedicated to troubled teens in Flagler County, for pupils who struggled to function in a traditional classroom environment. That included those who had been convicted of a crime, or were considered too violent to attend classes on traditional campuses. But Flagler County voters failed to pass a 50-cent property tax levy to pay for the school back in 2013.
Sheriff Staly added: 'We had a school resource officer assigned to that mini-school if you will, and that's been eliminated.
'Maybe this is something the district should look at.'

It's a shame one of the Dem's sacred cows (a.k.a. homeless vagrant) chose the wrong spot in a big city to sh!t and p!ss all day on the public side walk there while doing nothing all day but drinking hard liquor, smoking weed, shop lifting from the lojas. (Not that good ole small town/country folk know what's turning major metropolis into gigantic open door sewers.)
Bums should try to be as smart as they think they are and stay out of areas that belong to 28s. Your welcome.
[ShabelleMedia] Somaliland said it will use all means to regain control of the strategic city of Las Anod, the regional capital of Sool after its troops lost power to SSC clan militia.
The command of Somaliland military announced an all-out offensive to flush out SSC from the city, where local community fighters vowed to defend it until the last breath.
Faisal Abdi Botan, the leading commander of the breakaway region’s army termed the surprise withdrawal from Tukaraq as a military tactic and retreat to designated bases.
Botan added that Somaliland forces will not rest until they make sure the recapture of Las Anod. His remarks come amid Somaliland defeats on the front-lines in Sool region.
The army officer alleged that al-Shabaab ...... the personification of Somali state failure... and Puntland ...a region in northeastern Somalia, centered on Garowe in the Nugaal province. Its leaders declared the territory an autonomous state in 1998. Puntland and the equally autonomous Somaliland seem to have avoided the clan rivalries and warlordism that have typified the rest of Somalia, which puts both places high on the list for Islamic subversion... forces are taking part in Las Anod battle, supporting the local SSC militia, a claim both sides have denied as "baseless".
Las Anod war entered its fourth week with health officials saying the corpse count is increasing by each passing day due to the non-stop shelling and festivities in the outskirts of the city.
Since February 6, there has been heavy fighting in Las Anod between troops from Somaliland and local militia from the Dhulbahante clan which wants an autonomy.
The current upheaval in Las Anod began on December 26 when a local opposition politician, Abdifatah Abdullahi Abdi, was assassinated by unknown attackers, sparking anti-government protests across the city.
The corpse count is said to be at least 105 while 600 others sustained wounds. The casualties likely to rise since the confrontation still ongoing, according to the few residents remained in the city.
[Revolver] A country of 60 million is on the verge of "collapse" amid rolling blackouts and warnings of "civil war" scale unrest.
South Africa is on the verge of "collapse" amid rolling blackouts and warnings a total power grid failure could lead to mass rioting on the scale of a "civil war".
Western embassies including the United States and Australia have advised their citizens in the country to stock up on "several days worth" of food and water and be on high alert during extended blackouts sweeping the country.
South Africa’s President Cyril Ramaphosa declared a national "state of disaster" on February 9 in response to the record electricity shortage, which has seen state-owned power company Eskom institute rolling blackouts — dubbed "load shedding" — lasting up to 12 hours in some cases.

/\ Yes, indeed "inevitable." A black national hero was needed. Mandela was a shoe in for the ANC kommunis. There should be no surprises there, or here for that matter.

...A quick thought experiment: If things were to go well and truly sideways, would China (#1 miner of gold in the world) be tempted to step in and assist a new "people's" government in SA (#12 miner of gold in the world) and thereby effectively control about 20% of the world's gold supply?
Was WITPRO in the "data exfiltration event"?
[JustTheNews] The United States Marshals Service on Monday announced that it had been hacked roughly one week ago and that the perpetrators had compromised sensitive information.
USMS personnel confirmed that the Feb. 17 hacking event accessed a stand-alone system, which was subsequently disconnected from the network following a "ransomware and data exfiltration event."
"The affected system contains law enforcement sensitive information, including returns from legal process, administrative information, and personally identifiable information pertaining to subjects of USMS investigations, third parties, and certain USMS employees," USMS spokesperson Drew Wade said, according to NBC News.
USMS has not yet identified a responsible party and an investigation remains ongoing.
From a week ago, but still pertinent for those in or near anyone affected, or those who care about those affected. Note that this one was USSOC, not the Marshals, and it was a mistake, not a hack.
[PJMEDIA] On Tuesday, a top U.S. defense official verified to Fox News that a Department of Defense email server was left exposed for two weeks and that, as a result, internal emails were accessible without a password.
The exposed server was allegedly the result of a misconfiguration. Anyone who knew what the server’s IP address was could access the emails with a web browser.
“The server contained around three terabytes of military emails, with many related to the U.S. Special Operations Command, which is a military unit which conducts special operations,” Fox News reports. The emails on the server went back several years and contained personal information.
TechCrunch reportedly discovered the vulnerability and reached out to the Pentagon about it. The server was secured within a day of TechCrunch alerting the Pentagon to the issue.
According to U.S. Special Operations Command spokesperson Ken McGraw, there is no evidence that the server was hacked. “We can confirm at this point is no one hacked U.S. Special Operations Command’s information systems,” he told TechCrunch in a statement.
[GP] FBI Director Chris Wray joined Bret Baier on Special Report on Tuesday night to discuss the recent admission by the Energy Department that the COVID-19 virus was allegedly leaked from a biological lab in Wuhan.
Wray selected Baier because he knew it would be a friendly interview and he would not be confronted about the politicization of the agency, the targeting of conservatives, the planned arrest of thousands of Trump supporters for standing near the US Capitol on January 6, and the several Deep State operatives leading the charge on the US Capitol and participating in violence that day.
Wray nonchalantly admitted the COVID-19 virus came from a China lab.
Chris Wray is a bad person.
Chris Wray: It’s likely to have come from a lab leak, although the confidence low, it cites the FBI. What is the determination by the FBI? So as you note, Brett, the FBI has for quite some time now assessed that the origins of the pandemic are most likely a potential lab incident in Wuhan. Let me step back for a second, can. The FBI has folks, agents, professionals, analysts, virologists, microbiologists, et cetera who focus specifically on the dangers of biological threats, which include things like novel viruses like COVID, and the concerns that in the wrong hands, some bad guys, a hostile nation state, a terrorist, a criminal the threats that those could pose.

A well polished liar, he has an answer for everything, asserting a perfect record of spotless impartiality. As my grandmother would say "Butter wouldn't melt in that boy's mouth, but he's a liar"!
I watched about 5 minutes and changed channels to watch Gunsmoke reruns, because Matt Dillon is more believable.
[MAIL] The FBI has refused to say how many social media companies it works with, defending their actions after it emerged that agents from the bureau regularly met with Twitter executives and handed over lists of accounts they found questionable.
Officials from the bureau even asked for Twitter to hand over the locations from where the Twitter accounts were being operated, in a disturbing move that many saw as an attack on the First Amendment.
One user targeted by the FBI, who goes by @Lexitollah, said: 'Seems like prima facie 1A violation.'
Charlie Hurt, the opinion editor of The Washington Examiner, said it was 'a clear violation of the First Amendment.'
He told Tucker Carlson: 'They were actually opening up new back channels on platforms I've not heard of before, in order to keep in touch with one another.
'If this was happening during the Pentagon Papers, and we were seeing this level of collusion between the federal government and news, there would rightly be an outcry.'
[FoxNews] CA agent provided confidential information to a man tied to organized crimes.
A former FBI agent in California was sentenced Monday to six years in federal prison for accepting at least $150,000 in gifts and cash bribes to provide confidential information to a man with organized crime ties.
Babak Broumand, 56, of Lafayette, was sentenced in federal court in Los Angeles. After an 11-day trial, he was convicted last year of conspiracy, bribery of a public official and monetary transactions in property derived from unlawful activity, the U.S. Department of Justice said in a statement.
Broumand, who joined the FBI in 1999, worked until 2018 in the bureau’s San Francisco office, where he was responsible for national security investigations, prosecutors said.
Prosecutors said from 2015 to 2018, Broumand accepted cash and gifts that included escorts, hotel stays and private jet flights in return for searching law enforcement databases to help a self-proclaimed lawyer and his criminal associates learn if they were under investigation and avoid prosecution.
Broumand "abandoned his pledge to serve the American people in exchange for a lavish lifestyle," Donald Alway, assistant director in charge of the FBI’s Los Angeles Field Office, said in a statement.
Court documents refer to the lawyer only as "E.S." but his name was Edgar Sargsyan, who earlier pleaded guilty to bribing Broumand and another federal agent and testified at his trial.
The two men were introduced at a Beverly Hills cigar club.
Prosecutors said Broumand would search databases for specific people at Sargsyan's request and warn him to "stay away" if they were under criminal investigation.
They included Levon Termendzhyan, described by authorities an Armenian organized crime figure for whom Sargsyan had worked. In 2020, Termendzhyan was convicted in a Utah federal court of involvement in a $1 billion fraud scheme involving renewable fuel tax credits and awaits sentencing.
Authorities said Broumand also searched a confidential FBI database for information on Sam Sarkis Solakyan, who was eventually sentenced in San Diego to five years in prison for convictions for submitting more than $250 million in fraudulent claims through California’s workers compensation system.
Prosecutors also said that Broumand interfered with an FBI investigation into Felix Cisneros Jr., a Homeland Security special agent with ties to Termendzhyan and Sargsyan. Cisneros was convicted of corruption and sentenced to 10 years in federal prison.
[ZERO] The bill, proposed by Sen. Stephen Goldfinch (R), would require those moving to South Carolina from out-of-state to pay two one-time fees; $250 for vehicle registrations and $250 for a new driver's license. Half of the new fee would go toward the state's infrastructure - including roads, bridges and common community areas, according to Fox Business.
"I’m not trying to build a wall and this is not a fee against new residents, it’s a fee for people to catch up with the rest of us," Goldfinch told Fox News Digital. "I think there's a rational basis for requiring newcomers to catch up with the rest of us and contribute to the roads, bridges, schools and green spaces that we've [residents] always contributed to."
His proposal comes after droves of people from the Northeast have moved to South Carolina in recent years. According to the U.S. Census, nearly half a million people moved to the Palmetto State in the past decade.
People flocked to the Southeast during the pandemic and stayed due to a host of reasons, including work flexibility, lower taxes and warmer weather.
Goldfinch points to South Carolina residents as inspiration for the bill. -Fox Business
"Our quality of life has been diminished by the almost 4 million people that have moved here in the last decade," said Goldfinch. "And we anticipate another million people moving here in the next decade. Everybody is concerned about their quality of life."
The new fees will be available for debate next week on the South Carolina Senate floor.
As Fox Business points out, South Carolina isn't the only state trying to slap people with moving taxes - as California and New York have both proposed legislation to tax people leaving their state.
"If you can charge people to leave, I don't see any reason why you can't charge somebody to come in the door," said Goldfinch.
South Carolina is being inundated with people from primarily the NE (Mass, NJ, NY, etc.). They sell their normal 3 bedroom ranch home up north, which they own outright, at riduculously high prices, - 1/2 - 1 million dollars cash - and flock here and buy homes for cash, driving home prices up so high that locals cannot compete for them. Behind us, here on our property, they are building, right now, almost 1,000 new homes on what was farmer's fields. I can't sell and move, even though we would make a lot of money on our house, because we cannot afford to buy a replacement-in-kind house. This (poorly named) "Yankee Tax" is an effort to stem the flood of people who are taking over the state. They also will eventually turn the state purple, then blue, as they tend to bring their liberal values and voting with them.
Rezoning isn't done by the Yankees. That's all presently local power. You just need to copy the SanFran model of obstructing 'new' housing. Running developers out of the county on a wooden rail after appropriate application of tar and feathers is a start.
