Horrified bystanders urged others to call 911 as they filmed an 11-year-old girl being pinned to the ground
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Sickening footage captured the moment an 11-year-old Florida girl screamed for help as she was pinned to the ground by a man.
'I wasn't doing anything,' she screamed as shocked bystanders filmed the incident, adding in a bloodcurdling plea: 'I swear to God.'
'Help me, help me,' she continued, as the man on top of her appeared to try and keep her pinned between his legs while taking his phone from his pocket.
The man was arrested at the scene and was later named as Marius Mutu, 43, a military veteran who worked at the Florida Department of Children and Families, according to his LinkedIn.
In footage from a witness filming from a balcony, the suspect was seen holding her to the ground in a bushy area near Allison Park in Tampa, Florida.
Witnesses were heard urging others to call 911, and when deputies from the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Department arrived, they placed Mutu under arrest.
He reportedly told deputies that the situation escalated after someone had been throwing eggs at his apartment for the past week, and believed the girl was responsible when it happened again, reports WTSP.
Mutu was arrested on April 19 and is now facing charges of battery and false imprisonment.
According to the sheriff's department, Mutu had been complaining of vandals throwing eggs at his apartment for a week leading up to the incident.
'When it happened again that day, he assumed the girl walking nearby was responsible,' authorities said.
According to investigators, Mutu then chased her down and forced her to the ground as he attempted to take a photo of the child to report her to his apartment management.
Hillsborough County Sheriff Chad Chronister said after the arrest that the acts seen in the shocking footage are 'not only unacceptable, its reprehensible.'
'The safety of our children is non-negotiable,' Chronister said in a statement.
'This child endured a terrifying and traumatic experience at the hands of someone who chose to take matters into his own hands. We remain committed to protecting our children and ensuring those who harm them are held fully accountable.'
According to his LinkedIn profile, Mutu was most recently worked for the Florida Department of Children and Families.
He listed his employment as a Child Protection Investigator from August 2024 to January of this year, where he said he would 'apply strong communication and conflict-resolution skills.'
Mutu has also worked as a correctional officer, security guard, and spent 10 years in the United States Air Force.
According to the sheriff's department's arrest records, Mutu was released on a $6,000 bond. It is not clear when he will be back in court.
[BREITBART] A far-left pastor of a Florida United Methodist Church lit a candle wrapped in barbed wire in honor of accused MS-13 gang member and alleged wife beater Kilmar Abrego Garcia during his Easter Sunday service, saying the United States government ''kidnapped'' him.
The sermon was given by Rev. Andy Oliver of Allendale United Methodist Church in St. Petersburg, where he compared the El Salvadoran illegal alien to one of the criminals who were crucified alongside Jesus Christ before his Resurrection:
''We continue to pray for Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who the Supreme Court has ordered must be returned home after our government unlawfully kidnapped him,'' Oliver said.

....I seem to remember that my immigrant forebears - the Kozlowskis and Szelminskis from Poland, the Carpentieres and Alleruzzos from Italy -came here EXPECTING to work their backsides off to provide for their families, for as long as it took to make it.
Of course, those families didn't have NGOs telling them that you can walk over the border and everything will be taken care of forever. Go figure.
One further order we must give you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ: don’t associate with the brother whose life is undisciplined, and who despises the teaching we gave him. You know well that we ourselves are your examples here, and that our lives among you were never undisciplined. We did not eat anyone’s food without paying for it. In fact we toiled and labored night and day to avoid being the slightest expense to any of you. This was not because we had no right to ask our necessities of you, but because we wanted to set you an example. When we were actually with you, we gave you this principle to work on: “If a man will not work, he shall not eat.” Now we hear that you have some among you living quite undisciplined lives, never doing a stroke of work, and busy only in other people’s affairs. Our order to such men, indeed our appeal by the Lord Jesus Christ, is to settle down to work and eat the food they have earned themselves.

Emotional dysregulation is a brain-related symptom that means you have trouble managing your feelings and emotions. It’s often a sign of conditions that affect your brain or differences in how your brain developed or works today. It’s usually not a serious condition except when severe. Many of the causes are treatable.
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] The student accused of shooting two people dead at Florida State University had been diagnosed with emotional dysregulation.
But Phoenix Ikner, 20, had come off the prescription medication at the time of the rampage, a source told CNN.
Ikner was identified by police as the suspect responsible for fatally gunning down two people and injuring six others at the Tallahassee campus last week.
The FSU student opened fire using his Sheriff's Deputy stepmom's handgun, according to investigators.
Police are yet to establish a motive and said it is too early to state whether his condition played any role in the shooting.
Ikner allegedly began firing at random and did not have any connection to the victims, investigators said.
Aramark Collegiate Hospitality regional vice president Tiru Chabba and FSU dining coordinator Robert Morales were identified as the two fatalities.
The suspect was also injured during the shooting and was taken to the hospital where he remains with 'significant' but not life-threatening injuries.

[Regnum] The highest active volcano in Eurasia, Klyuchevskaya Sopka, has begun erupting in Kamchatka. This was reported by the Kamchatka branch of the Geophysical Service of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
The branch noted that a glow was recorded on the volcano's crater on the night of April 21. It lasted for several minutes.
"Klyuchevskoy Volcano. April 20, 2025. The glow above the volcano's crater is associated with a Strombolian type of eruption," says a message from KVERT of the Institute of Volcanology and Seismology of the Far Eastern Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (IVS FEB RAS) on the Telegram channel.
The aviation hazard code for the Klyuchevskaya Sopka volcano has been changed from green to yellow. This code is the second of four and indicates risks for small aircraft. If the volcano's activity continues to increase, it could affect low-flying aircraft.
Klyuchevskoy Volcano (Klyuchevskaya Sopka) is located 30 km from the village of Klyuchi in the Ust-Kamchatsky District, where about 4.5 thousand people live. It is the highest active volcano in Eurasia. Its age is approximately 7,000 years.
As reported by the Regnum news agency, the Bezymyanny volcano began erupting in Kamchatka. Satellite data showed a bright thermal glow in the crater that lasted for several minutes. At 10:30 local time on April 21 (01:30 Moscow time), explosions raised ash from the Bezymyanny volcano 4,000 meters above sea level. The ash plume stretched 36 km west of the volcano.
The volcanic eruption continues. Volcanologists noted that an ash plume up to 10-15 km above sea level can be expected at any time. The volcano's activity is dangerous for local air travel, and an orange hazard code (increased probability of eruption) has been declared.

[Regnum] Klaus Schwab, 88, has stepped down as chairman of the board of trustees of the World Economic Forum (WEF). This was reported by the WEF press service.
“At an extraordinary meeting of the board on April 20, the Board of Trustees took note of the resignation of Klaus Schwab,” the statement said.
The board appointed vice-chairman Peter Brabeck-Letmathe as acting chairman, in accordance with WEF rules. It also established a search committee to select a future chairman.
Schwab himself said that he was leaving his post due to his age.
Klaus Schwab, has been chairman of the WEF trustees since its founding in 1971. The forum's members include about a thousand large companies from around the world, including Russia.
The last meeting of the WEF, which took place in January 2025, was held without the participation of the Russian delegation, since, according to the Russian Ambassador to Switzerland Sergei Garmonin, the organizers of the forum did not send the corresponding invitations to the Russian Federation, but the Russian side took this decision calmly.
Garmonin emphasized that Moscow will continue to solve external problems in promising formats such as BRICS.
As reported by Regnum News Agency, in May 2024, the President of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Klaus Schwab, decided to leave his post and become a non-executive director of the forum.
Earlier, in June 2024, The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported that at least six women had faced sexual harassment from senior WEF management. Two employees reported being approached by high-ranking participants at the event. The employees also accused Schwab of harassment - "offering informal communication to a young employee." Another six former employees said they were forced to resign after they announced their pregnancy.
Moreover, according to the publication, Schwab personally ordered the dismissal of some employees over 50 years old in order to reduce the average age of workers and improve performance, deciding to “carry out a youth transformation of the organization.” Representatives of the forum refused to arrange an interview with Schwab, and the press service stated that the article “incorrectly describes the organization, culture and colleagues, including the founder ”
[PJ] It's no secret 'round the PJ Media water cooler that I have a massive brain-crush on Stephen Miller, who's currently serving as Trump's deputy chief of staff. I love to see a man stand up straight, look the lefties right in the eye, and explain the truth to them, in searing clarity and with barely suppressed condescension that is richly deserved in the face of their ignorance on whatever matter is at hand.
For example, he did this just last week when he schooled the woke media on the matter of Saint Kilmar of Maryland. You only need to watch the first 20 seconds of this clip to see what I mean (but if you are lingering over your coffee, there are ten more minutes of intellectual spanking to savor and enjoy).
Right now, there is an existentially important issue in play — President Trump's executive order, "Protecting the Meaning and Value of American Citizenship." The U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to decide whether Trump can proceed with enforcing this revolutionary policy:
Vietnam is set to buy at least 24 F-16 fighter jets from the U.S.—the largest arms deal ever between the two nations.
The sale, likely including advanced F-16Vs, signals Hanoi's shift away from Russian and Chinese arms. Still pending: U.S. congressional approval and clarity on… pic.twitter.com/00qNBri3G1
