The faux bleeding heart Donks want to import young people from Mexico and Latin America because it's unsafe down there for them so their narrative goes. However, they basically say screw the safety of youngsters in Chicago and other blue cities. They are recruiting future Donk voters and justifying a larger and larger bureaucracy to manage the plantation. Hypocrites.

Chicago has inaccurate shooters or good doctors?
One of the interesting benefits of NATO is that European military doctors take tours of duty in US (blue) cities. There are not enough multiple-gunshot-wound patients in Europe to give their doctors experience. Chicago, New York and Los Angeles have more than enough to go around.
Very simply, an inner city emergency room is the closest thing to a combat hospital.

Washington D.C. is another locale. Interestingly enough, San Antonio is (or was) also a training opportunity, mainly for stab and slicing wounds.
[Iran Press TV] At least 18 people have been killed in a southeastern Nigerian town due to a "mysterious" disease which kills in less than 24 hours, government says.
"Twenty-three people (were affected) and 18 deaths were recorded," AFP quoted the Ondo state health commissioner, Dayo Adeyanju, as saying on Saturday.
Earlier in the day a government front man, Kayode Akinmade, had put the number of casualties at 17, saying that the mysterious disease broke out early this week in Ode-Irele town.
Akinmad added that all the victims perished within a day of falling ill and that Ebola or any other known virus has so far been ruled out as the cause by Laboratory tests, noting, "There is no patient of the disease in any hospital and the disease has not spread beyond the town."
He added that apart from government experts and health officials, World Health Organization (WHO) epidemiologists had also arrived in the town for further investigation.
WHO has confirmed having information on 14 cases and 12 deaths.
"Common symptoms were sudden blurred vision, headache, loss of consciousness followed by death, occurring within 24 hours," said WHO front man Tarik Jasarevic, adding that an investigation was currently underway.

A cop friend told me of when a gang banger was found dead, having been shot fourteen times. The medical examiner's guy, there to pick up the body, said "Obvious natural causes". 'How so?', my friend replies. "When somebody shoots you that many times, you're just naturally gonna die." he was told.

How can those border cameras be allowed? I thought the approach to fighting illegal immigration was to cover it up and pretend it wasn't happening? Somebody's going to have to be punished severely for this embarrassment.
You, like me, may have got the clear impression from media reports that these are attacks by black Africans on black Africans.
That appears to be not the case at all, and main victims are predominately Muslim Somalis and other non-black Africans. Which makes these attacks racially and religiously motivated.
Hundreds of Russian banks are poised to disappear as the worsening economic crisis and a central bank cleanup force them to merge or close.
High interest rates and sanctions over the conflict with Ukraine are squeezing the country’s more than 820 lenders just as central bank Governor Elvira Nabiullina is shutting mismanaged and under-capitalized banks at a record pace.
"Russia has far too many licensed banks," said Christopher Weafer, a senior partner at Moscow-based consulting firm Macro Advisory. "Cutting the number to between 200 and 300 would be a very positive step."
Sweeping away weak banks would help the economy by improving lending practices, reducing corruption and increasing transparency, said Weafer. It could also fortify the dominance of the largest state-owned firms, OAO Sberbank and VTB Group, as customers seeking safety migrate to those institutions. Meantime, some mid-sized lenders say they’re ready to take over competitors in what could prompt a wave of deals.
[AA.TR] The Turkish Consulate General building in the Greek city of Thessaloniki was struck by Molotov cocktails several times during a demonstration against high-security prisons Friday night, consulate sources told the Anadolu Agency.
At least two people, including a woman passerby were maimed in the attack.
Greek police had not intervened when a group of protesters moved from the city center towards the street, where the consulate general was located.
The protesters turned violent and hurled more than 10 Molotov cocktails at the Turkish Consulate General building and at coppers stationed there. The outer wall of the consulate building, a police booth and a bus near the consulate were damaged in the incident, consulate officials told AA.
A police car also caught fire in the attack, they added.
The protesters were demonstrating against high-security prisons and intended to show solidarity with hunger strikers at such institutions in the country.
The police booth in front of the Turkish Consulate General has been attacked at least nine times before.

[Hurriyet Daily News] The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... 's leading academics on game studies have launched a petition against the Family and Social Policies Ministry's controversial initiative to ban Minecraft, a popular videogame.
"Computer games cannot be reviewed as if they are bonzai," said the petition launched on change.org on April 18, referring to a synthetic illegal drug.
Turkish media reported last month that the ministry's Children Services General Directorate contacted its legal affairs department with an instruction for the legal process to ban the game to be started.
Minecraft is a videogame that allows the player to make designs with cubes in 2D or 3D. The game has several modes and in some of the modes, the player needs to survive in order to proceed.
The ministry had originally launched an investigation into the game in February on grounds that it encourages violence, especially against woman. Last month, however, it concluded the investigation with the suggestion of a ban to protect children from violence and "social isolation."
Initially signed by 24 academics from Turkish universities and published by the Turkish branch of Digital Games Research Association (DiGRA), the petition demanded "the report and the data that it used as source be publicized immediately."

There are women in mindcraft?
Even the villagers are pretty much asexual. So are the cows, pigs, rabbits, and others...
[DAWN] ISLAMABAD: Despite an attack on one of their own, the capital city's police department seems hesitant to proceed against suspects -- who assaulted an on-duty constable and fled, leaving behind a vehicle filled with contraband items -- because they are said to be backed by 'a powerful figure'.
On Thursday night, around 8pm, Constable Fazal Malik was part of a Rescue-15 patrol team that was manning a picket in F-11 Markaz, when he saw a car blocking traffic on the busy thoroughfare. A white BMW had stopped in the middle of the road and was holding up traffic, so Constable Malik decided to find out what the problem was.

Several scientific studies have shown that coffee has a protective effect against breast cancer and other cancers. A new Swedish research study now sheds light on why coffee can, at least when it comes to the silent killer cancer, be considered a health drink.
"The caffeine turns off the signal paths to breast cancer cells. This results in slower cell proliferation and increased cell death," said Ann Rosendahl, a researcher at Lund University and co-author of the recent report detailing how coffee protects against breast cancer recurrence. Abortionists should serve coffee to clients?

Texas is a bit5 of an oddity - open carry for long arms, but only concealed carry for handguns. Until now I guess.
Now if they can pass concealed carry on campus. Kinda stupid a 22 year old veteran with a CC permit is not able to carry when he's going to class at a local community college.
To be sure, Texas has always allowed residents to carry long runs, like rifles and shotguns, in the open, a nod to its pioneer past and living ranch legacy.
I have a long run too....to the beer joint. Bang bang shoot pistol cowboy bullet boom boom.
Sideways topic, didn't get to comment on badanov's TWIG because I was knee deep talking about Kansas' Constitutional Conceal Carry with an eye roller.
Now Kansas has been open carry for as long as I can remember. Observation is that the only people outside LEOs who open carry are farmers and ranchers, on account of snakes/coyotes/bobcats/trespassers (livestock thieves and drug peddlers).

Deacon, Tennessee still requires a carry permit for handguns, concealed or open carry. As of 2014 there is no longer a requirement for a permit to have a handgun in your car. A lot of people have confused the vehicle exemption with not needing a permit to carry at all. If you're walking around in public and have a handgun on you, then you are "supposed" to have a carry permit.

Another good thing to know about Tenessee gun laws is that if you are carrying without a permit and you have to justifiably use deadly force in self-defense of the defense of another, you will not be prosecuted for illegal carry.
