He is being charged with aggravated battery, firing a weapon in public, firing a weapon into a vehicle, property damage less than $200 and aggravated battery on a child.
Because shooting people is not actually against the law in Floriduh? With all those battery charges, I hope they put him in a dry cell.
[LI] The Supreme Court unanimously pushed the Little Sisters of the Poor contraception case back to the lower courts, meaning they do not face fines if they do not provide contraception coverage.
Ashley E. McGuire, Senior Fellow at The Catholic Association, released this statement in a press release:
"Today the Supreme Court made it clear that the government still has not done enough to accommodate the conscience rights of the Little Sisters, whose plan they have tried to hijack for things like abortion pills. For now, this is an interim win for the nuns, who just want to get back to their work caring for the poor without interference from government bureaucrats."
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] The African island nation of the Comoros has said it is ready to consider taking thousands of stateless people denied citizenship in the Gulf state of Kuwait, newspapers reported on Monday.

[Dhaka Tribune] Three people gang-raped Victoria College student and theatre activist Sohagi Jahan Tonu before killing her inside the Mainamati Cantonment on March 20, CID officials said yesterday.
"The evidence of rape has been found on her clothes," Special Superintendent of Police in Comilla Nazmul Karim Khan said. "We have almost solved the case, and hope to identify the killers soon."
Asked whether they had matched the DNA results with the suspects, he evaded a direct answer, and said that they had been analysing every information to identify the killers.

[Breitbart UK] Midwives in Britain are in revolt after their union backed a radical campaign to abolish all legal limits on abortion without consulting members.
The Royal College of Midwives (RCM), which represents some 30,000 health workers in the UK, is calling for women to be allowed to terminate their pregnancies for any reason and at any stage up to childbirth.
Currently, women in Britain are allowed to seek an abortion up to 24 weeks of pregnancy on the grounds that continuing the pregnancy would damage their physical or mental health. After 24 weeks, mothers can still have an abortion, but only for "medical" reasons ‐ for example if their life is endangered or the child is severely disabled.
The campaign to remove legal restrictions was launched by the British Pregnancy Advisory Service (BPAS), which is the UK’s largest abortion provider, after a 24-year-old woman was jailed after inducing a miscarriage when she was eight months pregnant. The RCM seals it's own fate. Midwifery becomes yet another victim of the modern culture of death.
Police seized more than eight metric tons (more than 17,500 pounds) of cocaine from a gang in a series of operations.
The hefty haul weighs more than an African elephant and could have a street value of hundreds of millions of dollars.
But there's an even bigger question looming: Is the massive seizure a sign that Colombia is closing in on its most wanted criminal?

The math's not exactly right - I get $392 million uncut / before it gets stepped on, so up it to about $800 million. It's a big fucking haul, as Joe Biden might say.

At least half the dealers in Mass. that get busted have multiple EBT cards on them; usually one that they get directly and the rest are from customers.
[Free Beacon] A senior Iranian military commander claimed that U.S. officials are quietly encouraging the Islamic Republic to keep its illicit ballistic missile tests a secret so as not to raise concerns in the region, according to Persian language comments.
Amir Ali Hajizadeh, commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps; Aerospace and Missile Force, said in recent remarks that the Obama administration does not want Iran to publicize its ongoing missile tests, which have raised questions about the Islamic Republic's commitment to last summer's comprehensive nuclear agreement.
Scrolling to the bottom line:
A State Department official declined to comment on the remarks, telling the Washington Free Beacon that it is U.S. policy to avoid responding publicly to Iran.
“We generally don’t comment on public remarks by Iranian officials, and especially IRGC officials,” the official told the Free Beacon. “We’re not going to start now.”
This will eventually lead to conflict and possibly shootings. Perhaps this is the intended gov't outcome. Either way, I can envision additional hiring within the legal team of 'Morgan & Morgan'.

Her story sounds... weird. That and she claimed a man also followed her into a bathroom and tried to rape her, but it was never reported and there were not witnesses....
My first reaction is to call "Bullshit"
The left has far too many (over 100 in the past 3-4 years) of fake hate crime reports. Until I see proof of her story otherwise I will file this under that same category of fake and stupid.

I say false report. the lady might look a bit boyish but not enough anyone would report her. I could be wrong, there are morons everywhere but this just seems like a bullshit story.
The funny thing is a false report in this manner, made to look anti-trans in the bathroom look like bigots goes a long way towards proving the anti-trans in the bathroom point.

"Toms said she didn’t report the incident, and Walmart did not respond to messages from the Daily News."
So its her word without proof. The fact that it happened in a Walmart is too good to be true for lefties to question. They learned their lesson with the fake hate cake at a Whole Foods.

Don't know about you guys, but restrooms in my upscale shopping experience are generally co-located in customer service areas that also include banking facilities. There will be video of the restroom traffic.
"Platoon." "Full Metal Jacket." "Hamburger Hill." The decade featured some of the grittiest look at military service, often featuring U.S. soldiers behaving badly.
Then Tom Cruise declared a need for speed.
Cruise’s "Top Gun" celebrates its 30th anniversary today. The 1986 film did more than cement his superstar status. The film flashed impossibly cocky pilots who made Naval Aviation cool. They got the girls, rocked the Karaoke bar and risked their lives for their country.
Reagan’s America got its movie close-up. And the U.S Military’s image enjoyed an overdue Hollywood spit shine. Real-life veterans couldn’t help but take notice. They still salute the movie all these years later. Note to Hollywood - portraying the United States in a positive light is good box office. Like they give a rat's ass.

I was a wee pup, and the movie rocked. Bought and put together a plastic model F-14 (working wings!) and would fly it around the house, land on my aircraft carrier.
Then I came across the Top Gun board game, and wow. Game was more advanced than what my peers wanted to play, but it had a listing of different US/USSR aircraft and their differing abilities - which allowed me to research those planes.
