[NYPOST] A New Jersey inmate who was freed early because of the COVID-19 pandemic has been charged with murdering a teenager just two days after his release.Jerry Crawford, 25, was serving time for burglary when he was let out on "public health emergency credits" to parole supervision on Nov. 4, prison officials confirmed to NJ.com Wednesday.
He has since been charged with the murder of Davion Scarbrough, 18, who was bumped off in Bridgeton on Nov. 6 — just two days after Crawford got out of South Woods State Prison, the outlet said.
He was charged alongside Yusuf Waites — who had also just gotten out of custody less than a month before the shooting.
Waites, 23, was released from Garden State Youth Correctional Facility in Crosswicks on Oct. 10 after completing his sentence on a gun charge, according to the report.
The pair were allegedly caught on surveillance video with Scarbrough shortly before his body was found riddled with multiple bullets less than half a mile from the prison from which Crawford had been released, NJ.com reported, citing court documents.
When Crawford was charged last month, he was already back in jug on gun and theft charges, the outlet said. However, a good lie finds more believers than a bad truth... those charges have since been dismissed.
Both men were indicted on charges of first-degree murder and first-degree conspiracy to commit murder for Scarbrough’s fatal shooting.
Waites was also indicted for attempting to kill two other men in a sweeping indictment involving eight other defendants, another killing, a drive-by shooting and a daylight shootout, NJ.com said.
[NYPOST] A Pennsylvania man led cops to his father’s severed head that he kept on a dinner plate in a freezer, police said.
Donald Lawrence Meshey Jr., 32, was arrested Wednesday in the stabbing death and dismemberment of his father, Donald Meshey Sr., 67, by Lancaster police after a woman called cops seeking a welfare check on a relative.
The caller said Meshey told her there was a "cadaver" in one of the beds at the home along with a head stashed in a freezer, police said in a statement.
A responding officer met Meshey at the apartment he shared with his father and was led to the "horrific scene" inside.
"Meshey escorted the officer inside the residence and took the officer to the kitchen, where he proceeded to remove what appeared to be a human head from the freezer to show the officer," the police statement continued.
While being questioned by detectives, Meshey admitted to stabbing his father for two to three minutes with a knife before dismembering his body, which he called a "cadaver doll," police said.
"During the interview, Meshey said he found what he described as a ’cadaver doll’ in his father’s bedroom, which looked and sounded like his father," cops said in a statement.
Investigators were still processing the scene and collecting evidence late Wednesday. An autopsy conducted early Thursday identified the victim as Meshey’s father, LancasterOnline.com reported.
The elder Meshey died from multiple stab wounds, a coroner found.
Donald Meshey Jr. said he dismembered his father’s body and put his body parts in large garbage bags before stashing them in the basement of their home. He moved the head into a freezer on Wednesday before cops arrived, police wrote in an affidavit.
The severed head was kept on a white dinner plate inside the freezer and Meshey used a handsaw to mutilate his father’s body, court documents obtained by WGAL show.
Meshey said he had moved his father’s torso into a 2007 Lincoln Town Car parked outside the residence, the affidavit states.

The president of the Black Lives Matter Utah chapter announced she's stepping down and has fled the state, citing "death threats" over a Fourth of July Facebook post that called the American flag "a symbol of hatred."
Chapter founder Lex Scott made headlines last month after she argued on behalf of her group, which is not affiliated with the national BLM organization, that people who fly the U.S. flag are hostile toward people of color.
"When we Black Americans see this flag we know the person flying it is not safe to be around," the July 4 post read. "When we see this flag we know the person flying it is a racist. When we see this flag we know that the person flying it lives in a different America than we do. When we see this flag, we question your intelligence. We know to avoid you. It is a symbol of hatred."
In a tearful video posted on the group's Facebook page Sunday, Scott announced she was resigning from both her posts as group president and as president of the Utah Black History Museum.
"Over the last month you know that I received death threats like a flood," Scott wrote in an accompanying statement. "This is not new. The only new thing was when someone attempted to climb over my fence and instead of defending myself, I relaxed my body and told myself that I wished they would hurry and get it over with. I did not even want to fight back. The exhaustion of being on defense had worn on me. So prepared to die that I welcomed death and that is not living." So... What happened? Is she dead now? She died, but then she got better

Has she decided to $$$ Cash In $$$ her BLM earnings like other BLM leadership have?
Scott and the Black Lives Matter Utah Chapter – not connected to the national Black Lives Matter movement – came under fire on July 4 after saying those that fly the American flag are “racist.”
Why is she even in the USA if she HATES US SO MUCH?
MAYBE there needs to be a Return To Africa Go Fund Me.
with the required never to return or be jailed.
IMPORTANT BTW: This BLM bundle of mental issues is NOT to be confused with the 1000% better looking actress Lex Scott.
Dora Marchand, 29, was walking her dogs without a leash on the Upper West Side was arrested last week by park police
She has since characterized her arrest as 'unnecessary' and a 'power trip'
Marchand also admitted she knew having the dogs off the leash at the park was not permitted and vowing to continue to walk them off-leash in the future
Video footage taken by a witness shows her in handcuffs after her arrest
Marchand, who moved to New York from San Francisco on July 28, did not have her identification with her at the time of the arrest
She spent an hour in the NYPD holding cell while officers verified her identity
Marchand was then released with a $200 fine for not complying with officers and $100 for having the dogs off-leash

Our dog walks off-leash with us all the time. Stays right with us on either my wife's or my left side while walking. She's not aggressive with people or other dogs while off-leash either.
Put her on a leash and she is more aggressive to others. Possibly because her sense of being able to project security has been restricted.

Jennifer Sartin works for the Singing River Health System in Ocean Springs, Mississippi, but resigned from critical care because she 'couldn't take it'
Sartin said it's 'mentally straining' that people aren't getting vaccinated
Mississippi is among the states with the lowest amount of vaccinated residents and most hospitals here are at or near capacity
The Delta variant accounts for 13 percent of cases in the state
New US cases have increased more than five-fold over the past month with the seven-day average hitting 113,357 on Thursday
She added: 'When we went from three to eight Covid patients in one week I knew that it was going to be another wave almost - if not worse than - what we did last year.

In Mississippi, aren’t the majority of the unvaccinated African-Americans? I sympathize with the lady’s burnout, but the Black community keeps alive memories of medical experimentation, leading to trust issues when it comes to government-touted treatments and vaccines.
Separately, looking at the graphs at the link: while the number of infected is growing again nationally from a summer trough lower than last year’s, the number of dead is growing considerably more slowly from a much lower trough than we saw last year — exactly what growing herd immunity is supposed to lead to.
Finally, I wonder if it will turn out that Nurse Sartin was playing up the situation, as is happening so often recently — we had an article about a Democratic veterinarian running for office claiming to be working in an overwhelmed hospital emergency room recently who turned out to have been extraordinarily economical with the truth.

[NYPOST] A wildfire bore down on rural southeastern Montana towns Thursday as continuing hot, dry weather throughout the West drove flames through more than a dozen states.
Several thousand people remained under evacuation orders as the Richard Spring Fire advanced across the sparsely-populated Northern Cheyenne Indian Reservation.
Meanwhile, ...back at the pie fight, Bella opened her mouth at precisely the wrong moment... the Dixie Fire — which started July 13 and is the largest wildfire burning in the nation — threatened a dozen small communities in the northern Sierra Nevada even though its southern end was mostly corralled by fire lines.
The blaze had burned over 780 square miles, destroyed some 550 homes and nearly obliterated the town of Greenville. It was 30 percent contained.
On Wednesday, the Montana fire displayed extreme behavior and had grown by tens of thousands of acres, according to the National Interagency Fire Center. The blaze, which was only 15 percent surrounded, began Sunday and powerful gusts caused it to explode across more than 230 square miles.

Azerbaijani Ministry of Defense reports of periodic skirmishes from small arms in two directions; Yeraskh-Chambarak-Nakhchichevan and Verin Shorzha-Karvajar.
Report from Yeraskh, on the border with Nakhichevan where for the past month there have been regular skirmishes. Local man says "it has turned regular for us, we don't panic as before. We go to our work and back." As he's speaking, machine gun fire is heard in the background. https://t.co/rcL2JjKGrspic.twitter.com/ipm67You0Q
According to preliminary data, rescuers managed to find eight people alive , at least two of them were seriously injured. The search for the rest continues. There were 16 people on board, including 13 tourists.
The crashed Mi-8 sank under water. According to the preliminary version, bad weather could have been the cause of the disaster: the helicopter landed in very poor visibility conditions, and there were heavy fogs in this region in the morning. Other priority versions: pilot error and technical malfunction.
One of the victims of the MI-8 helicopter crash in Kamchatka, near the Kronotsky Reserve, was a family from St. Petersburg: two parents and a child. By a happy coincidence, the father survived, the mother and the 17-year-old young man have not yet been found - and the chances of a miracle are diminishing by the second.
As the son of one of the surviving tourists , Mikhail Strelkin, told KP-Petersburg , a large group of acquaintances gathered in the ill-fated helicopter on August 12.
"Mikhail loved extreme, but his wife did not share this hobby": Mother and son from St. Petersburg cannot be found after a helicopter crash in Kamchatka.
“It was only part of the group,” Mikhail explained. "In general, about twenty people went to Kamchatka from St. Petersburg, probably. A month ago, they agreed, called their father, 'well, let's go.' Already on the spot, apparently, they split up; some went on foot, others chose a helicopter flight to the Khodutka volcano. The helicopter, as far as I know, was ordered in advance, back in St. Petersburg.
"If we consider the version that the helicopter hit its nose, then it is very surprising that so many people were saved. While the aircraft is in the water, it is possible to leave it through the escape hatches. But it all depends on the position of the helicopter, if it hits its nose or falls on its side, then there is almost no chance. The blades begin to chop off the beam of the helicopter, it does not float and sinks quickly. Then there are 15 seconds to get out. The survivors were extraordinarily lucky, they probably had strong guardian angels," Stanislav Shtinov, a helicopter pilot of the Russian Emergencies Ministry told KP.
Rosturizm after the crash of the Mi-8 also check compliance with safety requirements in the provision of tourist services in Kamchatka.
Chairman of the Investigative Committee of Russia Bastrykin instructed to report on the progress of the investigation of the criminal case into the crash of the MI-8 helicopter in Kamchatka
According to open sources, Igor Redkin owns 49.5% of shares in the authorized capital of Vityaz-Aero LLC. The rest of the company's shares belong to the co-owners of the Okeanrybflot fishing company. He is also the founder of the Vityaz-Travel travel company and owns a 50% stake in the authorized capital.
We will remind, Igor Redkin said that he accidentally shot a man in the village of Ozernovsky, confusing him with a bear. After being detained, he withdrew his candidacy from the elections and suspended his membership in the party.
After the helicopter crash in Kamchatka, Rostransnadzor will conduct an unscheduled inspection of the Vityaz-Aero airline.
[FoxBusiness] Producer prices accelerated at the fastest annual pace on record in July as supply chain disruptions and materials shortages continued to put upward pressure on costs.
The producer price index for final demand increased at a 7.8% pace for the 12 months ended July, according to the Labor Department. The July print was faster than the 7.3% pace recorded in June and ahead of the 7.3% rate that analysts surveyed by Refinitiv were expecting. The reading was the strongest since recordkeeping began in November 2010.
Producer prices rose 1% in July, matching the increase from June. Analysts were anticipating prices would grow at a 0.6% pace.

[TheGuardian] Protesters defy court order banning marches against German government’s coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague) ...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men... measures
More than 600 people have been arrested after participating in protests against the German government’s coronavirus measures, officials have said.
About 13 separate demonstrations took place around Berlin on Sunday, despite being banned by a court order and participants saying they would not follow safety rules.
Most of the approximately 5,000 protesters — a fraction of the 22,500 expected before the ban was announced — failed to stick to social distancing rules or to wear medical masks, according to police.
After participants did not heed orders to abide by hygiene rules, police used pepper spray and truncheons to break up the crowds. Water cannon and a tank similar to an armoured recovery vehicle were on hand but not needed, according to police.
Police confirmed that a 49-year-old man, who had travelled from the Rhineland region with his son to participate, collapsed and later died after breaking through a barrier.
A postmortem into the cause of his death has been ordered by a Berlin court.
The head of the Berlin-Brandenburg branch of the German Journalist Union (DJU), Jörg Reichel, was attacked on the sidelines of the protest, after months in which he has attempted to monitor the Querdenker (lateral thinker) movement. The movement is against the government’s attempts to restrict the spread of coronavirus, calling the measures fascist ...anybody you disagree with, damn them... ic, and condemning the vaccine campaign as a form of apartheid.
Reichel, who according to witnesses was pulled from his bicycle and beaten and kicked before passersby intervened, had been acting as an observer for journalists covering the protests, a growing number of whom have reported being verbally and physically attacked by demonstrators.
Monique Hofmann, head of the DJU, said that Reichel, who is undergoing hospital treatment, had been receiving threats from the Querdenker scene for months, and that his picture and name had been circulated on numerous channels associated with the movement on the instant messaging service Telegram.
Several coppers were also injured on Sunday.
Police announced on Monday that three further demonstrations planned later in the day, under the titles "Year of Freedom and Peace" and "Free Life, Free Love", had also been banned.
Organisers have complained that they are being treated differently from other political demonstrations, such as the Christopher Street Day parade that took place in Berlin last month, attracting 65,000 participants. Mask-wearing and physical distancing rules were often ignored at that event.
Wolfgang Schäuble, the president of the German parliament, led condemnation of the Querdenker protests, arguing that the participants’ dismissal of mainstream scientific knowledge on the virus was irresponsible, and appealed to them to respect the evidence.
"If almost all experts globally are saying coronavirus is dangerous and vaccines help, who then actually has the right to say ’I know better’?" he told the Neue Osnabrucker Zeitung. "For me, that is an almost unbearable degree of arrogance." He added: "Look at the science ... don’t be led down the garden path by cheap slogans."
[DW] The trained business administrator Michael Ballweg founded the Querdenker (lateral thinkers) movement in the city of Stuttgart in 2020. Organizing it has become his full-time job, as the movement has spread.The Querdenker include pandemic skeptics, anti-vaxxers and anti-lockdown protesters. They claim the COVID-19 pandemic and the federal and regional laws aimed at halting the spread of the virus, infringe on citizens' liberties.
Now, protesters regularly take to the streets in cities across the country.Often the demonstrations turn violent mostly peaceful.
But images of festivities between demonstrators and police do not fit the image the Querdenker like to create for themselves. Michael Ballweg and his followers are always quick to emphasize their peacefulness and loyalty to the German Constitution.
This is exactly what happened in mid-March in Kassel. More than three times the permitted 6,000 participants marched through the streets. Most of them didn't follow social distancing rules of 1.5 meters, nor did they wear face masks. Counter-demonstrators were also on the move. As the situation grew increasingly confusing and violent mostly peaceful. Police were using batons, pepper spray, and water cannon. Photos and video footage of coppers beating demonstrators continue to circulate online.
Christopher Vogel works in the mobile advisory team against racism and far-right extremism in Kassel and has observed the demo on the ground. He considers general criticism of officials' behavior to be unfair, he told DW. The situation was confusing, he said: There were festivities between right- and left-wing radicals, but in between were families with young children and some demonstrators put their children "in the front row, as protective shields so to speak," Vogel recalled. His conclusion: "It was no longer manageable."
Deutschland l Protest gegen Corona-Maßnahmen Berlin, Reichsflagge
No political ambitions
The substance of the movement is "extremely thin," he said. In principle, Querdenker are only concerned with their individual freedom and have no further socio-political demands.
"They just want to get back to normal and have some peace and quiet from the state," Vogel said. If COVID-19 disappears from the front pages, a large part will say goodbye to political engagement.
This assessment fits in with the results of a study published in December 2020 by sociologists at the University of Basel, Oliver Nachtwey. He and his team asked more than 1,100 "Querdenker" about their motives and attitudes. Almost half of them had never participated in a demonstration before the coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague) ...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men... protests.
"In terms of demographics, it's a relatively old and relatively academic movement," is one finding. Less than 10% are younger than 30, and the average age is almost 50.
Almost two-thirds of those surveyed have at least a high school diploma, more than half of them have finished their university education, and 67% consider themselves to be middle class.
23% of the surveyed Querdenker said they had cast their ballots for the Greens in Germany's 2017 federal election. Eighteen percent voted for the Left party and 15% for the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD). But, that was long before the pandemic. In September's elections, the AfD could almost double votes in Querdenker circles to 27%, while the Greens and conservative CDU/CSU would not get any support at all.
According to the Basel study, the vast majority of Querdenker, say they'll vote for little-known splinter parties in September, such as the Basic Democratic Party of Germany, which was only founded in July 2020. On that party's homepage, there are statements like: "Anyone who claims that freedom prevails in our country is lying. Because freedom does not prevail."
This perceived lack of freedom appeals to the Querdenker: 80% of those polled said they agree with the statement that one can no longer express their opinion without getting into trouble. Around 75% believe the media and politics are in cahoots, and that the government is hiding the truth.
The Querdenker movement is characterized by a strong sense of alienation, the study showed, not only from state institutions and the political system and the established media.
But the Querdenker followers were also found to be not "downright xenophobic or Islamophobic" and in some cases "rather anti-authoritarian and inclined towards anthroposophy."
Apparently someone over there is capable of feeling stupid.

“FIR stands for First Information Report. It is a written document prepared by Police when they receive an information about a cognizable offence.
In a cognizable offence, a Police officer has an authority to make an arrest without warrant.
It is a complaint generally filed by the victim or someone else on his/her behalf. When the FIR is registered by the Police, a signed copy is also given to the victim or the same person who filed the FIR. Police cannot refuse to register a FIR as it is against the law.”

So its 783 not 5800, and a large percentage of those, perhaps even the majority, may be illegals allowed in without testing, and despite the hysteria, mortality is low, even with the tendency to use comorbidity for monetary purposes?

[Guardian] Children born during the coronavirus pandemic have significantly reduced verbal, motor and overall cognitive performance compared with children born before, a US study suggests.
The first few years of a child’s life are critical to their cognitive development. But with Covid-19 triggering the closure of businesses, nurseries, schools and playgrounds, life for infants changed considerably, with parents stressed and stretched as they tried to balance work and childcare.
With limited stimulation at home and less interaction with the world outside, pandemic-era children appear to have scored shockingly low on tests designed to assess cognitive development, said lead study author Sean Deoni at Brown University.
In the decade preceding the pandemic, the mean IQ score on standardised tests for children aged between three months and three years of age hovered around 100, but for children born during the pandemic that number tumbled to 78, according to the analysis, which is yet to be peer-reviewed.

Give this some deeper thought.
Quoting a simple search "Children under the age of 2 cannot be evaluated with IQ testing. To be tested, children must be verbal and able to talk. Even if a baby is verbally advanced, IQ tests are not designed for children this young.(May 31,2021)"
The oldest kids born since the Pandemic started
would only be about 1 year, 7 months.
