Things like this won't happen after they've abolished the police. Social workers will stop it in a non-confrontational manner, stressing that there's truth on both sides. [KSTP] A Robbinsdale man is charged with murder after allegedly hitting and dragging a woman with a vehicle after they got into an argument.
Jordan Latrell Jefferson, 29, is charged with two counts of second-degree murder in the death of 28-year-old Ochea Brown. The Hennepin County Medical Examiner's Office says Brown died of multiple blunt force injuries on May 29 and ruled the manner of death as homicide.
According to a criminal complaint, Minneapolis coppers found a vehicle crashed near the intersection of 17th and Bryant Avenues at about 3:15 a.m. on May 29. After noticing significant damage to the front of the vehicle, officers saw Brown in the back seat, bleeding from severe head trauma. She was pronounced dead. He's dead, Jim! A witness told Sherlocks she was riding with Brown and Jefferson in the vehicle when Brown and Jefferson got into a verbal argument. The witness said Jefferson, who was driving, began punching Brown in the face. The complaint states the witness said she tried to intervene but Jefferson continued punching Brown. Jefferson then demanded Brown get out of the vehicle and, when she did and started walking away, the witness said Jefferson accelerated at a high rate of speed and aimed the vehicle directly at Brown, hitting her and trapping her under the vehicle.
The complaint states Jefferson continued dragging Brown until he crashed the vehicle into the front porch of a home. At that point, he allegedly got out of the vehicle and then slapped her and said her name to get her to respond. However, a clean conscience makes a soft pillow... she was unresponsive. "It's just this war and that lying son of a bitch, Johnson!"
According to the complaint, Jefferson then put Brown's body in the back seat of the vehicle and drove away from the scene, but he crashed the vehicle soon after, leaving it inoperable. The witness said Jefferson then called a friend to come pick him and the witness up. The friend first went to the scene and couldn't find Brown's pulse, saying her neck was broken. They then left the scene and went to the friend's residence, where Jefferson showered, disposed of his clothes and told the witness to take the truth about Brown's death to the grave.
Jefferson was later taken into custody. His first court appearance was Friday, and his bail was set at $1 million. His next hearing is set for July 1.
If convicted, each second-degree murder charge carries a maximum sentence of 40 years in jail.

[UPI] Burundi President Pierre Nkurunziza has died of cardiac arrest at the age of 55, the government in Gitega said Tuesday.
In a message posted on Twitter, the Burundi government announced that Nkurunziza died at the Cinquantenaire Hospital in the quiet provincial capital of Karusi after the cardiac event on Monday.
Nkurunziza had been admitted to the hospital last weekend after feeling ill. He became president of Burundi, a landlocked country in central Africa, in 2005.
Nkurunziza was due to retire in August and be succeeded by Gen. Evariste Ndayishimiye, a member of the ruling party who won Burundi's presidential election last month.
The Burundian Constitutional Court said last week Ndayishimiye won 68 percent of the vote, though some accused the ruling party and its military wing, the Imbonerakure, of intimidating voters during the campaign.

Does that mean Eddie Murphy is leader and Arsenio Is SOS?
[UPI] A federal judge on Tuesday granted a stay to a Texas death row inmate who was scheduled to be executed next week.
U.S. District Court Judge Hilda Tagel granted a stay of execution to Ruben Gutierrez, 42, after his attorneys have requested additional DNA testing in the case and challenged a Texas Department of Criminal Justice statute prohibiting all religious or spiritual advisors from entering the execution chamber.
"The Court concludes that Gutierrez has made a showing of likelihood of success on the merits of at least one of his DNA or execution-chamber claims," said Tagle.
Gutierrez was convicted and sentenced to death for the 1998 murder of trailer park owner Escolastica Harrison, who was 82. He was 20 years old at the time of the murder.
He has requested a post-conviction DNA test of nail scrapings and loose hairs taken from the victim, a shirt belonging to a family member of Harrison and other clothing items, saying testing would prove his innocence.
Last week, attorneys for Guttierrez filed a motion stating it would be "irresponsible and against the public's interest" to conduct the necessary investigation during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Attorneys have also argued that the state's refusal to allow a Christian chaplain to accompany him into the execution chamber is a violation of his First Amendment rights.

Lots of people got executed in the last couple weeks. Just not by the government. Those deaths don't warrant the attention of those wrapped up in ritual over reality.

I'm in favor. Let's not make a mistake. If it clears him great. If not, gas.

Alternatively, I'd like to give Sarah & Chris a simple, undergraduate exam in virology and/or immunology. For each incorrect answer Sarah or Chris get one slap on the face.
[UPI] North Korea ...hereditary Communist monarchy distinguished by its truculence and periodic acts of violence. Distinguishing features include Songun (Army First) policy, which involves feeding the army before anyone but the Dear Leadership, and Juche, which is Kim Jong Il's personal interpretation of Marxism-Leninism, which he told everybody was brilliant. In 1950 the industrialized North invaded agrarian South Korea. Twenty-one countries of the United Nations eventually contributed to the UN force opposing the invasion, with the United States providing around 90% of the military personnel. Seventy years later the economic results are in and it doesn't look good for Juche... may have as many as 35 nuclear warheads in its arsenal, up from a previous estimate, according to a Japanese think tank.
The Research Center for Nuclear Weapons Abolition, RECNA, at Nagasaki University says North Korea's weapons are included in a global total of 13,410 nuclear weapons, Japanese news agency Kyodo News reported Tuesday.
North Korea's warheads lag far behind other countries. Russia is No. 1 on RECNA's list, with 6,370 nuclear warheads, followed by the United States at 5,800 and China at 320, according to the report.

Here's an idea. How about we try to go an entire year without any major security flaws, data breaches or government leaks before we start talking about putting back doors in tech?
[Jpost] The country will be doing more to enforce the Health Ministry’s primary coronavirus regulations as the number of people infected with COVID-19 surges throughout Israel.
...A decision was made to activate the police, local authority inspectors and even population and immigration inspectors — each according to his strengths — to enforce regulations in four areas: wearing masks, congregating in groups that are too large or too close together, complying with the "Purple Ribbon" standard for businesses, and enforcing isolation of patients and people who have come in contact with them.
...The meeting piggybacked on remarks made earlier in the day by Health Minister Yuli Edelstein, who said that the government did not yet have intention to "go backwards" and begin reinstating closures. Rather, he said, that strict enforcement of the regulations would be instated.
Edelstein compared violating regulations to breaking traffic laws.
"Anyone who walks around without a mask is like someone who drove at 160 kilometers per hour," he said. "In 2019, 349 people were killed in traffic accidents."
In the last three months, 299 Israelis have died of coronavirus.
"Only when people make this connection will we be able to dramatically reduce the spread of coronavirus," Edelstein said.
Some 148 more people were diagnosed with the novel coronavirus in the last 24 hours, bringing the country’s total number of infected people since the start of the crisis to 18,180. There are currently 2,722 active cases — up 115 from the day before.
Among the sick are 31 people with serious symptoms — up two from Monday. Among them are 23 people who are intubated.

Protestors overwhelmingly fear that they’ll spread the sometimes-deadly Wuhan coronavirus, but continue to protest anyway. A new Axios-Ipsos survey reveals that by a massive 6.5-to-1 margin, Americans believe that there is a moderate to large risk of getting a nasty COVID-19 infection by "going to protests, demonstrations." Personally, I never participated in a demonstration - except on the other side.
