Murder Beach, S.C. follies
MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (WBTW) — City police on Sunday night responded to multiple locations as part of a "rolling shooting" incident that’s led to an arrest.

Authorities said they arrived to 14th Ave S. and Kings Highway, 13th Ave S. and Beaver Road and 3rd Ave S. and Kings Highway just before midnight.

Officials said two people were arguing over goods, when one of them shot at the other while chasing a car that was trying to get away.

Police said the suspected shooter has been arrested and the case is ongoing.

It was the second gun-related call in as many days for city police. On Saturday, 44-year-old Anthony Maurice Garner of Albemarle, N.C., was charged in the murder of Columbia resident Cedric Reddick.

Police said the men got into an argument Saturday night over a parking space along N. Ocean Boulevard.

Garner was denied on Sunday.

WATCH: Brawl Between Adults and Kids Breaks Out at Tennessee Kindergarten Graduation
[Breitbart] Chaos erupted at a Tennessee kindergarten graduation ceremony when a brawl broke out between at least ten adults and children.

A distressing video shows the May 15 incident unfold at Buckley Carpenter Elementary School in Somerville, a small town outside of Memphis. The fight unfolded after tensions between two women in the crowd boiled over to other members of the audience, police told Fox 13 Memphis.

Tyeisha Humphreys and Kierra Smith allegedly began fighting in the bleachers of the school gymnasium while multiple people down on the floor began exchanging punches as well.

Humphreys reportedly blamed the fight on Smith, telling police that they have a long history and that she had already taken out a protection order against her. Humphreys accused Smith of smacking her first, while “Smith insisted that her childhood acquaintance ignited the brawl,” the New York Post reported.

Humphreys was arrested for violating an order of protection, inciting a riot, and three counts of simple assault.

Records obtained by Fox 13 Memphis show that a man identified as Dantavious Gilchrease was also charged for an argument that spilled outside of the building, during which he allegedly told Humphreys’ mother, Ronda Humphreys, that he would shoot her in the face.

Several children were charged as well.

"Is this a private fight or can anyone get in?"

A while back, somebody (the Freakonomics guys?) did a study on whether having an obviously "black" name on a resume was a handicap. If memory serves, it was. But I don't think the study controlled for having a weird name vs being raised by the sort of parents that would name a kid Dantavious.

Personal Anecdote: A work buddy once told of working as a telemarketer in Detroit. One day, he made a call and asked "Is this the such-and-such residence? I'd like to to speak to Orange Jello. The called party responded, "That's OrRANzhelo, you honky mother*bleep*er!"

Crowd Stampedes After Teen Stabbed at NJ Boardwalk
[Breitbart] A 15-year-old boy was stabbed Saturday on the boardwalk in Ocean City, New Jersey, and the incident caused panic among the crowds of people who were in the area.

NBC 10 said that crowds ran from the scene on 12th Street just after 9:00 p.m., after the teenager was stabbed in the area of 9th and 10th streets, the outlet reported Sunday.

Law enforcement said officers arrived after reports came in about a fight. Officers located the injured boy, who had reportedly been targeted by an assailant whose identity remained unknown.

The victim was taken to a local hospital and his injuries were deemed non-life-threatening.

An image shows young people running away from the area following the incident:

In a statement, Ocean City Mayor Jay A. Gillian said, “We have a highly qualified team of officers on the boardwalk and throughout town, and they will enforce all laws to the fullest. Ocean City will always be welcoming to all guests, but I want to send a clear message to parents and to teens: ‘If you don’t want to behave, don’t come.'”

Gillian also noted that large groups of teenagers were reportedly involved in shoplifting, fights, and disorderly conduct over the weekend, according to Fox 29.

“I understand the impact that this behavior has on all of our residents, guests and business owners, and I want to assure everybody that Ocean City will not tolerate it,” he said.

Now, police are asking anyone with more information regarding the stabbing to contact them.

According to the Philly Voice, a fight occurred on the boardwalk late Friday that involved a pair of juvenile girls. Police eventually broke up the brawl and detained several young people before releasing them to their parents.

“No weapons were involved in the fight and no injuries were reported, police say,” the outlet stated.

It added that “Last year, Ocean City enacted an 11 p.m. curfew for minors and a backpack ban on the boardwalk after 8 p.m., as part of a wider effort to discourage unruly teen behavior that has been an ongoing problem at the shore town.”

Woman Attacked and Left Brain Dead in CA's Venice Canals Has Died
[Breitbart] The second female victim brutally attacked in the Venice Canals area of Los Angeles on April 6 has died after being declared brain dead.

Sarah Alden, 53, who was originally from Massachusetts, was in the process of moving to Venice Beach when the incident happened, the Westside Current reported Friday.

Alden, a mother of two adult sons, was declared brain dead on Monday following the attack that happened on the evening of April 6 as she walked back to her Airbnb.

A woman identified as Mary Klein, 54, was the first victim targeted as she enjoyed an evening walk, Breitbart News reported April 13, noting she was severely bruised and doctors had to wire her jaw shut.

Klein has alleged the suspect in the case tried to kill her.

The Westside Current article continued:

Anthony Francisco Jones, 29, was arrested in San Diego on April 11 and booked at the LAPD-West Bureau on April 12, in connection with the assault of the two women. Jones was charged with two counts of forcible rape, one count each of sexual penetration by use of force, one count of sodomy by use of force, one count of mayhem, one count of torture and one count of attempted murder.

Jones eventually pleaded not guilty on all counts. Meanwhile, police described the suspect as a black male who is six feet and one inch tall, 200 pounds, and a transient, per Breitbart News.

“According to authorities, Jones doesn’t appear to have a criminal record in LA County, however his background, including his legal status is unclear. Jones is being held without bail and is next court date is June 11 at the LAX Superior Courthouse in Westchester, according to county jail records,” the Westside Current report stated.

Man Burned While Shielding Fiancee During NYC Subway Attack
[Breitbart] A man is accused of throwing flaming liquid onto another man on the subway in New York City, as residents endure rising assaults on trains.

The 23-year-old Albanian man who was burned, Petrit Alijaj, told the New York Post he leapt in front of his fiancée to shield her from the liquid, the outlet reported Saturday.

“I protect my fiancée with my body,” he explained.

Alijaj spoke to the outlet while lying in his hospital bed after 30 percent of his body was burned during the incident. Images show the victim with his entire body covered in bandages, and the suspect in the case being hauled away by police:

Alijaj explained that he was with his fiancée and cousin as they rode the No. 1 train during an excursion to the Statue of Liberty. However, as the train pulled into the Varick Street station, a 49-year-old man entered the train while holding a cup.

The cup, which the suspect identified as Nile Taylor was holding, contained liquid. Alijaj said the suspect made a fire and tossed it at the trio.

Alijaj moved quickly to cover those with him, but his shirt ignited and he desperately tried to put out the flames as he left the train. He eventually managed to rip off his shirt. In the meantime, the suspect also left the train.

However, “Taylor was arrested shortly after the attack after police tracked a cell phone that he had picked up off the platform while fleeing, police and sources said,” the Post article stated, adding it was the second time in the past four months flaming liquid has been thrown at subway riders.

Felony assaults in the city’s subways rose 53 percent last year compared to such assaults in 2019, according to a report from March.

Obama-supporting male 'artist' with 'she' in bio goes on Boston stabbing spree, 4 girls hospitalized
[THEPOSTMILLENNIAL] On Saturday, a man was arrested for stabbing four maiden of tender yearss at an AMC movie theater in Braintree, Massachusetts, and later two other adults at a McDonald's in Plymouth.

According to Boston 25, a source identified the suspect as Jared Ravizza, who police arrested after a police chase to Cape Cod. All the victims in both stabbings were transported to local hospitals to be treated for non-life-threatening injuries.

In a blurb, Braintree police said the man arrived at the AMC around 6:00 PM, when he "proceeded past the ticket counter and entered one of the theaters without paying." It added, "Without saying anything and without any warning, he suddenly attacked and stabbed the four young females."

Police noted that the attack appeared to be unprovoked, and the girl's ages ranged from 9 to 17 years of age. After the attack, police said he raced out of the theater in a black SUV.

Officers were able to determine that Rivizza was no longer in the area, but video footage was able to capture his license plate number, and it was then broadcast to other law enforcement units. After a similar attack in Plymouth, Massachusetts State Police pursued the vehicle and took the driver into custody after it had crashed.

Discussing the girls, one moviegoer Mateo Rojas told Boston 25, "They looked like they just saw a horror movie and not a kid’s movie." He added, "They said one of the girls had been ’yelling help I’ve been stabbed’ and the kids came out looking really shocked."

According to Ravizza's Instagram account, he is a supporter of President Obama and an artist with over 218,000 followers on the platform. According to a write-up in the MV Times in 2021, Rivizza was a long-time visitor to Martha's Vineyard who worked as a "mentor" to people with disabilities.

New York special needs teacher accused of sexually abusing schizophrenic teen
[THEPOSTMILLENNIAL] A married special needs teacher in New York is facing charges of sexual abuse of a schizophrenic teen after it was revealed in a lawsuit that that she was caught on video in the act. The lawsuit, filed by the boy’s mother, also accuses the school of negligence regarding the incident.

Sandy Carazas-Pinez, age 34, is accused of sexually absuing a 16-year-old student at Biondi High School. According to the lawsuit, classroom cameras show the teacher sexually abusing the boy but no one at the school was monitoring the video.

Following the student admitting to his mother that he had sex with the teacher multiple times, the principal examined the classroom video and found the teacher cuddling with the boy and asking him to "rub her crotch," the lawsuit stated.
Maybe she had an itch?
Carazas-Pinez was charged in a Manhattan federal court last July for luring the teen into a sexual relationship, according to the New York Post. She also allegedly convinced him to be on an X-rated livestream video call with her.

The lawsuit shows Carazas-Pinez sending texts to the teen that read, "I love that you were holding and hugging me in school," and "I call you crazy when you try to finger me in class."

The lawsuit further blames the school for failing to monitor the behavior of the teacher. It also explained that the school let the boy leave campus for multiple hours on a regular basis with a "day pass" that did not require parental permission. While using this pass, the teen repeatedly would go have sex with the teacher in her car.

When the teen attempted to cut the relationship with Carazas-Pinez, the educator allegedly threatened to fail him in class or even kill herself. This reportedly left the boy traumatized.

"Had the school followed even their own most basic safety protocols, they could have prevented the horrific, repeated and ongoing abuse that had occurred under their own roof," stated Lesley Brovner, a lawyer from the law firm who filed the suit.

Trans runner wins girls 400m race in Washington state championship
[THEPOSTMILLENNIAL] On Saturday, trans-identified male athlete, Veronica Garcia, won the Washington state girls 400-meter race by over a full second, leading the East Valley (Spokane) girls track team to a state championship.

In a video posted on X, Garcia had a massive lead the entire race, and posted a final time of 55.75 seconds with the second-place finisher, Lauren Mathew, running at 56.75 seconds.

Former swimmer at the University of Kentucky and women's rights advocate, Riley Gaines, posted a video of the second-place finisher receiving thunderous applause, and almost nothing when the trans athlete was announced.

"Watch the girls on the podium cheer for the rightful state champ vs when the boy is announced," Gaines wrote. "Stop saying girls are okay with this They're CLEARLY not, but the risks & threats they face for even daring to oppose this are real. My heart breaks for them.

According to TrackScoreboard, Garcia's team captured the state championship title by eight points, with the trans-identified males winning giving them ten points in the process.

More than 670 estimated dead in Papua New Guinea landslide: UN
[BREITBART] More than 670 people are believed to have died after a massive landslide in Papua New Guinea, a UN official told AFP on Sunday as aid workers and villagers braved perilous conditions in their search for survivors.

The once-bustling hillside village in Enga province was almost completely obliterated when the landslide struck in the early hours of Friday morning, burying scores of homes and the people sleeping inside them.

"There are an estimated 150-plus houses now buried," said UN migration agency representative Serhan Aktoprak, adding that "670-plus people are assumed dead".

"The situation is terrible with the land still sliding. The water is running and this is creating a massive risk for everyone involved," added Aktoprak, who oversees teams of emergency workers from Port Moresby.

The unforgiving terrain, damaged roads and an outbreak of tribal violence nearby have seriously hamstrung efforts to get help into the disaster zone.

More than two days after the landslide rumbled down the face of Mount Mungalo, mud-caked villagers in bare feet are still searching for their loved ones using shovels, axes and other makeshift tools.

Disaster worker Omer Mohamud arrived at the site on Sunday, finding deeply "traumatised" villagers using "sticks and spades to discover the trapped bodies".

In Memoriam
[Federalist] This Memorial Day, Remember The Fallen, Like This Farm Boy From North Carolina.

Here is a short sketch about one such soldier whose name is carved on the Wall.

Garney Burleson was a farm boy from North Carolina. He is not famous. You will not read about him anywhere other than here. He was a member of the elite aero-rifle platoon of B Troop, 1/9 Cavalry, of the famed 1st Cavalry Division, also known as the “Bravo Blues.”

Garney was killed in action on January 28, 1971, in Binh Tuy Province, Vietnam. He was only 20 years old.

Garney is buried in the cemetery of a small country church outside of Asheville, N.C. No immediate family members are left to remember him today. No parents. No siblings. He never had any children.

At the time of his death, Garney had been in Vietnam for about three months. He was already serving under his second platoon leader, his first having been medically evacuated after being wounded.

Garney kept a cool head under fire. On one occasion, he was lying on the ground behind a tree during a firefight. Keeping his body behind the tree, he held his rifle around it and fired at the North Vietnamese, who were only a few yards away.

An enemy soldier returned fire, hitting Garney’s exposed rifle. The bullet hit the front sight-blade of his M-16 then travelled all the way down the length of his rifle to take out the rear sight also. Obviously, if Garney had been looking through the sights, the bullet would have pierced his head. Unperturbed, Garney held up his damaged but still-operable rifle for a nearby soldier to see, smiled, and calmly said, “They’re shooting pretty close today, aren’t they.”

Garney’s last platoon leader, known as “Blue” for his radio call sign, was scant feet away from Garney when he was killed. Blue carried Garney’s body to an evacuation helicopter that was able to descend through a small opening in the trees. On Memorial Day 2018, that platoon leader made the trip from Knoxville, Tennessee, to his fallen soldier’s gravesite.

The platoon leader was a bit distressed at what he found at the church and cemetery. He had thought he might stumble upon a memorial service held by the church, or at least other mourners at the cemetery. That was not to be. He was alone.

Garney’s grave was not particularly well-tended. Although several others were buried there who could be identified as veterans from their headstones, the church had not made an effort to honor them on Memorial Day, neglecting even to place a small American flag on their gravesites.

The platoon leader went to a nearby store to purchase a small American flag and some flowers. He then returned and placed them on Garney’s grave. He then penned a hasty note to his former soldier, encased it in a protective plastic bag, left it at the tombstone, and held it down with a small stone. He could only hope that by virtue of God’s grace, Garney would know what it said and that he was not forgotten.

Please join me on Memorial Day in remembering Garney Burleson, and all the other members of our armed forces who perished in the service of our nation, whose sacrifice we remember and honor this Memorial Day.

WATCH: 25 Arrested as Mass Street Brawl Breaks Out in Sheffield
[Breitbart] Police arrested 25 people after a mass brawl broke out in broad daylight on the streets of Sheffield in northern England on Saturday.

South Yorkshire Police said on Sunday that 22 people were hospitalised, ten of whom with serious injuries after a violent brawl broke out at around 2 pm on Saturday on Woodbourn Road in Sheffield.

Footage purporting to have captured the incident posted on social media appeared to show two people being brutally beaten while lying on the ground. Dozens of men were seen in the footage, many of whom were wearing hooded sweatshirts and carrying weapons some of which appeared to be machetes.
Sounds like colonists, probably Moslem, to me. No doubt we’ll never know.
In total, 25 people were arrested on suspicion of multiple violent disorder offences and a number of weapons were recovered from the scene. So far, police have not revealed the motivation for the fight.



South Yorkshire Police Chief Superintendent Simon Wanless said: “Officers have been working through the night at the scene at Woodbourn Road and carrying out extensive inquiries including CCTV trawls.”

Nvidia supplier SK Hynix to invest $3.87 bln in US chip packaging plant
SEOUL, April 3 (Reuters) - SK Hynix (000660.KS), opens new tab, the world's second-largest memory chip maker, said on Wednesday it will invest around $3.87 billion to build an advanced packaging plant and research and development facility for AI products in the U.S. state of Indiana.

The new plant will include an advanced chip production line to mass-produce next-generation high bandwidth memory (HBM) chips, currently used in graphic processing units that train artificial intelligence systems, the Nvidia (NVDA.O), opens new tab supplier said in a statement.

Mass production is planned to start in the second half of 2028. The new facility in West Lafayette, Indiana will also house a packaging R&D line.

The facility "will help strengthen supply chain resilience" for AI chips in the U.S., CEO Kwak Noh-Jung said.

The engineering talent pool provided by the region's Purdue University, infrastructure for chip manufacturing, and support from the state and local government were factors in the chipmaker's decision, it said.

SK pledged in 2022 to invest $15 billion in the semiconductor industry through R&D programs, materials, and the creation of an advanced packaging and testing facility in the U.S.
Last month it began mass production of the latest version of HBM chips, called HBM3E, with sources saying initial shipments are going to Nvidia.

SK Hynix has been the sole supplier of the version previously used - the HBM3 - to Nvidia, which has 80% of the market for AI chips.

Europe
Notre Dame will reopen on December 8 after restoration
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] Notre Dame Cathedral - Notre Dame de Paris - will open to visitors on December 8th. French President Emmanuel Macron announced this during an event dedicated to the 75th anniversary of the German Constitution in Berlin, which was broadcast on the official account of the Elysee Palace in H.

The French leader invited the Germans to the Summer Olympics, which open in Paris on July 26, and also suggested visiting Notre Dame later.

“It will be restored and will open on December 8,” Macron recalled.

On May 25, a metal cross 12 m high was installed on the roof of the cathedral, which was damaged in a fire in April 2019. The structure was restored by craftsmen in Normandy, the newspaper Le Parisien reported.

The next stage after the installation of the cross is the restoration of the ridges and the removal of scaffolding from the choirs located under the roof. It is expected that this work will be completed before the start of the Olympics.

As Regnum reported, the fire that broke out in the area of ​​the cathedral spire on April 15, 2019 lasted more than 15 hours. As a result, the spire, clock, and original roof of the 12th century collapsed. Restoration work was estimated at approximately 1 billion euros.

In 2022, Netflix released a series about the cathedral, telling the story of what happened through a series of characters who were caught up in the turmoil of the flames.

The building, which began to be built in 1163, is one of the symbols of Paris. In December 2023, the metal rooster was returned to the spire of Notre Dame Cathedral, inside of which Christian shrines are kept.

Government Corruption
News With Views - Get us out of NATO
[News With Views] Today is Memorial Day. George Washington’s Farewell Address to the People of these United States of America, 1796

"The great rule of conduct for us in regard to foreign nations is in extending our commercial relations, to have with them as little political connection as possible. So far as we have already formed engagements, let them be fulfilled with perfect good faith. Here let us stop. Europe has a set of primary interests which to us have none; or a very remote relation. Hence she must be engaged in frequent controversies, the causes of which are essentially foreign to our concerns. Hence, therefore, it must be unwise in us to implicate ourselves by artificial ties in the ordinary vicissitudes of her politics, or the ordinary combinations and collisions of her friendships or enmities.

"Our detached and distant situation invites and enables us to pursue a different course. If we remain one people under an efficient government, the period is not far off when we may defy material injury from external annoyance; when we may take such an attitude as will cause the neutrality we may at any time resolve upon to be scrupulously respected; when belligerent nations, under the impossibility of making acquisitions upon us, will not lightly hazard the giving us provocation; when we may choose peace or war, as our interest, guided by justice, shall counsel.

"Why forego the advantages of so peculiar a situation? Why quit our own to stand upon foreign ground? Why, by interweaving our destiny with that of any part of Europe, entangle our peace and prosperity in the toils of European ambition, rivalship, interest, humor or caprice?

"It is our true policy to steer clear of permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign world; so far, I mean, as we are now at liberty to do it; for let me not be understood as capable of patronizing infidelity to existing engagements. I hold the maxim no less applicable to public than to private affairs, that honesty is always the best policy. I repeat it, therefore, let those engagements be observed in their genuine sense. But, in my opinion, it is unnecessary and would be unwise to extend them."
