[NYPOST] A man who was locked away You have the right to remain silent... for randomly slashing a woman’s neck earlier this month in Brooklyn told police he attacked her because she is white, police sources said.
Gregory Alfred, 25, told police he set out to find white people to slice back on Mar. 10 because he blamed them and "the system" for preventing him from freely smoking weed, sources said.
The slasher chose to take out his anger on 53-year-old Janina Popko, and cut her across the neck as she was walking near the corner of Beverly and Rugby roads that morning in Ditmas Park, sources said.
"He’s just a sick person," Popko told The Post on Tuesday. "I’m very lucky to be okay. I am still shaky."
"I never was racial. I grew up in Poland , they never teach us to be racial," she added. "I didn’t grow up with this racial thing."
Alfred discarded a large kitchen knife, black plastic bag and an American flag bandanna after the attack. Cops were able to lift fingerprints from the items, the sources said.
"He had bought paring knives and kitchen knives and said he was going to stab people," NYPD Chief of Detectives Robert Boyce said at a Tuesday presser at police headquarters.
And no one dropped the dime on him because...

g(r)om, that's closer to an inalienable right than many of the new entitlements.
The problem is if weed was legal and you wound up with a lot of worthless stoners then who would take care of them? If we could just let people suffer the consequences of their actions and not try to impose on them it would be less of a problem; but then..................................
[FRANCE24] Rob Ford, the pugnacious, populist former mayor of Toronto whose career crashed in a drug-driven, obscenity-laced debacle, died Tuesday after fighting cancer, his family said. He was 46.
Ford rode into office on a backlash against urban elites. He cast an image sharply at odds with Canada's reputation for sedate, unpretentious politics. His tenure as mayor of the country's largest city was marred by revelations about his drinking problems and illegal drug use. He was repeatedly videotaped and photographed while intoxicated in public.
Nevertheless, he was later elected by a landslide to a city council seat, a job he held until his death.

You go snortin' tootskie that you buy on the street and you really don't know what's been mixed with it. You know, I read some place that they actually use known carcinogens like benzine to reduce the coca paste into cocaine. It's really kinda shocking that a trafficker in narcotics could be so unscrupulous.

Dear media, note well. If you think the standard side arm of the standing army is not to be owned by eligible members of the militia because such an 'assault' weapon didn't exist in 1792 (see Militia Act thereof) then by extension the only 'Press' protected by the First is that produced literally by a paper press of 1792.

Fighting between Ukrainian forces and rebels continued into its third week at Yasinovataya as both sides exchange artillery and small arms fire, according to Russian language news accounts.
Ukrainian ministry of defense officials said on Tuesday that rebel forces violated the ceasefire a total of 27 times, by firing mortars onto Ukrainian positions at Avdievka and firing small arms at Ukrainian troops at Avdievka, Zaitsevo, which is north of Gorlovka and at Marinka, which is west of Donetsk city.
Ukrainian officials characterized the fighting as low intensity, which rebel military officials dispute.
According to an official news release from the Donetsk ministry of defense, Ukrainian troops have been firing 120mm and 82mm mortars onto rebel positions at Yasinovataya. Included in the attack was a ten minute barrage Monday night on the Yasinovataya checkpoint and again Tuesday afternoon.
The rebel reports say that the artillery originates in Avdievka. Small arms including sniper fire is "continuous", as characterized by rebel media.
A partial news account which appeared in tsensor.net.ua said that fighting between Ukrainian forces and rebels over the crossroads was characterized as "serious."
According to another rebel report, shelling at Yasinovataya stopped momentarily when representatives from the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) and Russian Major General Rustam Muradov from the joint control center arrived at the checkpoint.
Yet another rebel official news release said that Ukrainian forces fired on rebel forces at Spartak, the Donetsk airport and in the Petrovskiy district of Donetsk city.
In the south Ukrainian forces shelled rebel forces at Dokuchaevsk, Kominternovo and at Bezymenoye.

The projectiles North Korea fired into the East Sea on Monday came from a new 300-mm multiple rocket launcher, the official [North] Korean Central News Agency said Tuesday.
KCNA said it was the "final test launch" of the new weapon ahead of its field deployment. This is a problem for South Korea, which has no effective means of intercepting the weapon. KCNA published a picture of a rocket from the new launcher hitting a target on an islet in the East Sea, saying leader Fat Boy Kim Jong-un watched the launch on the spot.
What bigwig was in trouble and was standing on the spot?
Recently a consular official in China?
That's him!
The new launchers have a range of 200 km, which would make them capable of striking the Gyeryongdae military complex in South Chungcheong Province, as well as the Seoul metropolitan area, the Osan air base and the U.S. garrison in Pyeongtaek, the Seosan air base, and the Chungju air base, all from near the demilitarized zone.
Experts believe the launchers are more accurate than ordinary short-range missiles because they have global positioning system of some kind. Some speculate that the North is using a global navigation satellite system and an inertial navigation system.
The 300-mm MRL was unveiled during a military parade last October. A mobile launch vehicle with an improved box-type launch system, it is allegedly capable of reloading quickly. Each is armed with eight rockets.
The South Korean Patriot air defense system will have trouble intercepting them, the military said, calling for an upgrade.

[CHANNELNEWSASIA] A North Korean consular official in China has killed two people in a car crash, China's Foreign Ministry said on Tuesday, reporting the accident shortly after China came out in support of sanctions against its ally over its nuclear programme.
South Korea's Yonhap news agency earlier reported the North Korean official was driving drunk, and the accident took place after he had left an event celebrating North Korea's launch of a long-range rocket on Feb. 7.
China's Foreign Ministry did not mention those details in a statement to Rooters but said the official's vehicle hit a taxi in the city of Dandong, near the North Korean border, early on Feb. 10, killing the driver and a passenger.
The North Korean official had paid compensation to the families of the victims, the ministry added, in a rare revelation of wrongdoing by an official of an allied power.

Odd, considering China says that they have no sway over the Norks.
[BLOOMBERG] Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will run deficits totaling almost C$120 billion ($91.7 billion) over six years, offering some stimulus to Canada’s struggling economy while trying to exercise restraint. Next election he'll be touted as just the man to rescue the Great White North's tanking economy.
Trudeau’s government will add C$11 billion in annual spending for the fiscal year that begins April 1, which will result in a projected deficit of C$29.4 billion for the coming year. The federal budget offers no projected return to balance over five years.
That cumulative deficit, which far exceeds what Trudeau promised in last year’s election campaign, stems from the worsening outlook his Liberals inherited even as they rejected calls for major new stimulus. It also marks a shift for Canada, which was home to an anti-deficit orthodoxy for three decades.
"Our plan is reasonable and affordable," Finance Minister Bill Morneau said in his budget speech Tuesday, which focused heavily on new spending measures. "Today, we are seizing the opportunity to invest in people and the economy, and to prepare Canada for a brighter future."
Trudeau had faced calls from some economists for even more new spending in order to take advantage of interest rates that are near historic lows as monetary policy loses its bite. While the measures detailed Tuesday are forecast to give gross domestic product a 0.5 percent bump in 2016, the Liberals steered clear of loftier deficits.

Affordable. You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

[DAWN] QUETTA: Jan Muhammad, 43, is now father to 35 children after the recent births of two more children. Jan Muhammad has three wives who have given him 21 daughters and 14 sons.
"My target is 100 children," he tells Dawn.com.
The family of 39 lives in a mud-brick house located in a poor neighbourhood of Quetta.
By profession, Jan Muhammad is a doctor and trader. "Thank God, I am able to manage the growing expenditures of my family," he said. "I spend about Rs100,000 a month on family expenditures," he said.
Two of his wives gave birth to two daughters last week. The middle-class family celebrated the arrival of the newborns.
"We, the girls have outnumbered the boys," Shagufta Nasreen, the elder daughter of Jan Muhammad tells Dawn.com, smiling.
She said the population of women in Pakistain was already very high and her family was contributing to the increase in the number of girls.
The ages of children range from one-week-old to almost 16-years-old.
Jan Muhammad's family lives happily despite its increasing size. He challenges the established perception that "less family members lead to a happy life".
"My aim is to educate my kids as well," he said.
Audiences were first introduced to Jan Muhammad's family on DawnNews.
A video of his family was watched by over 3.3 million people on Facebook, who shared it over 175,000 times and commented on it 4,000 times.

Any one remember the comment Grocho Marx made to the women with 12 kids on his quiz show the one time.
Prof. Heidi Czerwiec insists that she will call the police on ROTC students carrying guns around campus on their way to training exercises.
Czerwiec says that "[i]t's...highly inappropriate to conduct unnecessary military maneuvers in the middle of the quad," and especially irresponsible so with the possibility of school shootings and tensions on campus.
The school says it will send campus-wide notifications before each ROTC exercise, and will personally notify Czerwiec, as well.

I can understand her concern. After all, most school shootings on college campuses, especially UND, are carried out by ROTC members in uniform, and in formation.

Likely these are only drill rifles, meaning not capable of live fire.

A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
