A count in his carriage, and... "Hark!
Er... you look so familiar, Miss..."
"Parker."
He smirks, now awake:
"May I offer..."
Mistake.
And the park gets a little bit darker.
Denver Police just confirmed that the individual who charged at officers with a knife was a man pretending to be a woman.
The department also admitted that there’s a possibility that the individual, named Miguel Tapia, is in our country illegally.… pic.twitter.com/wZDzmCsDrj
How many more violent attacks, murders, rapes, Pedophilia arrests and social abuses before we get back to treating this perverted abnormality as the Serious Mental-Illness that it is?

Libya west from Tripoli to the border is a mess. The nation will not be unified until the political issue in Tripolitania is resolved. But by what or whom is anyone's guess.
[AFRICANEWS] An ambush by a "terrorist group" killed 21 Nigerien soldiers near the country's border with Burkina Faso ...The country in west Africa that they put where Upper Volta used to be. Its capital is Oogadooga, or something like that. Its president used to be Blaise Compaoré, who took office in 1987 and was chased out in 2014. Now it's the usual army officer type guy, Captain Ibrahim Traore, running things, who's just doing a bang-up job unless he's already been deposed... on Tuesday, Niger's ruling military junta said in a statement read on national television.
The statement Tuesday evening did not specify which group was behind the attack. Niger is struggling with a deadly security crisis involving several gangs.
Last week, the rebel Patriotic Liberation Front attacked a China-backed pipeline and threatened more attacks if the $400 million deal with China isn't cancelled. The group, led by Salah Mahmoud, a former rebel leader, took up arms after the junta staged a coup last year ousting a democratically elected government.
Niger and neighbouring Mali and Burkina Faso are also battling movements linked to al-Qaeda and the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems.... turban group in a decade-long conflict in the Sahel region ... North Africa's answer to the Pak tribal areas... that is worsening.
The violence killed thousands of people last year, and more than 2 million people have been displaced, according to the United Nations ...an organization conceived in the belief that we're just one big happy world, with the sort of results you'd expect from such nonsense... Mali and Burkina Faso are also led by juntas and have experienced two coups each since 2020. Both juntas have expelled French forces and turned to Russian mercenaries as they struggle to quell the Islamist groups.

[AFRICANEWS] The International Criminal Court has convicted an al-Qaeda-linked Islamic bully boy leader of war crimes and crimes against humanity in Mali’s Timbuktu.
Al Hassan Ag Abdoul Aziz Ag Mohammed Ag Mahmoud was accused of playing a key role in a reign of terror unleashed by bandidos Death Eaters on the historic desert city in northern Mali in 2012.
He was accused of involvement in crimes including rape, torture, persecution, enforced marriages and sexual slavery. Prosecutors say he was a key member of Ansar Dine ...a mainly Tuareg group that controlled areas of Mali's northern desert together with Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) and MUJAO in early 2012... , an Islamic bully boy group with links to al-Qaeda that held power in northern Mali at the time.
Al Hassan faces up to life imprisonment when a sentence is handed down at a later date.
Prosecutors say he was a key member of Ansar Dine, an Islamic bully boy group with links to al-Qaeda that held power in northern Mali at the time.
Women and girls suffered in particular under Ansar Dine’s repressive regime, facing corporal punishment and imprisonment, the court's then-chief prosecutor Fatou Bensouda said at the start of Al Hassan's trial nearly four years ago.
"Many were forced into marriage," Bensouda said. "Confined against their will and repeatedly raped by members of the gang." Al Hassan was involved in organizing such marriages, the prosecutor told judges.
[AFRICANEWS] In the Democratic Republic of the Congo ...formerly the Congo Free State, Belgian Congo, Zaire, and who knows what else, not to be confused with the Brazzaville Congo aka Republic of Congo, which is much smaller and much more (for Africa) stable. DRC gave the world Patrice Lumumba and Joseph Mobutu, followed by years of tedious civil war. Its principle industry seems to be the production of corpses. With a population of about 74 million it has lots of raw material... , a group of young people aged 18 to 25, known as the "Wazalendo" or "patriotic resistors," have taken up arms to defend their country. Teaming up with the Congolese army, they claim to have successfully pushed back the M23 rebels, who are supported by the Rwandan army, from the town of Sake.
Katembo Faustin, Commander of the FAR-W Group (Forces Armées des Résistants Wazalendo), emphasized the unity and collaboration that led to their success:
"We succeeded in repelling the M23 because we united with the government and, as Wazalendo, we came together to push back the enemy. I can assure you that the M23 will never reach here again. We are doing everything to protect Sake."
The fighting between the FARDC (Armed Forces of the Democratic Republic of the Congo), supported by the Wazalendo, and the M23 rebels has intensified in the North Kivu region. Many young Congolese have taken up arms, driven by a sense of duty to defend their homeland.
Innocent Mihigo, a fighter of the FAR-W Group, expressed his motivations:
"I decided to take up arms to defend my country, honor the national flag, and give hope to my fellow Congolese. They must understand that we are fighting to defend the nation with love and unity."
Despite the patriotic fervor, human rights ...which often include carefully measured allowances of freedom at the convenience of the state... organizations have raised concerns. They acknowledge the dedication of these young fighters but condemn the human rights violations committed by some alongside the Congolese army. These organizations are calling for the government to exercise greater oversight and responsibility.

[Regnum] The army of the Shiite movement Ansar Allah (Houthis) ruling in northern Yemen for the first time attacked an Israeli ship with a hypersonic missile, Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saria said on the social network H.
“The Yemeni Armed Forces used a home-made hypersonic missile for the first time against the Israeli vessel MSC SARAH V in the Arabian Sea,” he wrote.
Saria also promised to later publish a video of the strike on the ship. According to him, the missile created by the Yemeni rebels is advanced, allowing it to hit targets at long distances with high accuracy.
As Regnum reported, in March the Houthis announced the successful test of a hypersonic missile. According to their information, a rocket was created in Yemen that reaches a speed of Mach 8 - almost 9 thousand km per hour.
Houthis attack Israeli-linked ships following the escalation of conflict in the Middle East in October 2023. Yemeni Shiites said that in this way they support the Palestinian movement Hamas. In January 2024, the United States and Great Britain began striking Ansar Allah positions.
The US also sent its ships into the Red Sea to support Israel, after which the Houthis began attacking them too. On June 22, Yemeni rebels said they launched a missile attack on the US aircraft carrier Dwight Eisenhower. The United States denied this information, but Pentagon spokesman Patrick Ryder said that the aircraft carrier had left the Red Sea.

[NYPOST] Former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández was sentenced Wednesday in New York for his conviction on charges that he enabled narcos to use his military and national police force to help get tons of cocaine into the United States.
Judge P. Kevin Castel sentenced Hernández to 45 years in a U.S. prison and fined him $8 million. A jury convicted him in March in Manhattan federal court after a two-week trial, which was closely followed in his home country.
"I am innocent," Hernández said at his sentencing. "I was wrongly and unjustly accused."
Castel called Hernández a "two-faced politician hungry for power" who protected a select group of traffickers.
Hernández was in a full green prison uniform as he stood in court with his lawyers. Two U.S. marshals stood behind him.
[NYPOST] Citigroup urged employees to "keep their cool" as anti-Israel protesters blockaded the Wall Street giant’s New York headquarters.
Video obtained by the Post shows pro-Paleostinian protesters blocking the entrance to Citi’s offices in lower Manhattan, waving signs and chanting slogans including "From the river to the sea, Paleostine will be free" and "From the sea to the river, Paleostine will live forever."
That’s a shift versus earlier demonstrations over the past three weeks, during which climate activists dressed in orca costumes had gathered outside Citi’s offices chanting "sink their yachts," sparking scuffles in the plaza and numerous arrests.
"I know many of you have been offended by some of the language and actions, as have I, but we have to keep our cool," Ed Skyler, Citigroup’s head of enterprise services and public affairs, said in an internal memo this week that was obtained by the Post.
"We respect the right to protest, but not at the expense of our colleagues’ safety nor when others perpetuate abuse or hatred," Skyler said. "Simply put, we do not tolerate acts of intimidation and violence, and we denounce antisemitism, Islamophobia ...the irrational fear that Moslems will act the way they usually do... , acts of hatred, discrimination and prejudice of any kind."
Five Somali Muslims have been charged for allegedly trying to bribe a juror to acquit their brethren on trial who were accused of stealing $40m of American taxpayer money meant to feed hungry children. (Five were convicted at trial earlier this month.)
… The bribe suspects allegedly carried out a plan where $120k was given to a juror with the instruction that she had to convince other jurors the prosecution was racist. They promised more money. Three of the suspects allegedly destroyed evidence from their phones when they were ordered to surrender evidence.
This is the first time in Minnesota history that bribes were made in a federal trial.
… In a huge shock at trial, it was revealed a juror was offered a bag crammed with $120k in cash to acquit them.
Those convicted are all connected to the Dar Al-Farooq mosque: Abdiaziz S. Farah, 35, Mohamed J. Ismail, 51, Abdimajid Mohamed Nur, 23, Mukhtar Mohamed Shariff, 33, and Hayat Mohamed Nur, 27.

The mosque first opened in 2011, when the Dar Al Farooq Center purchased a building that had previously been the site of Northgate Elementary School and Concordia High School. The building that now houses the mosque was also sometimes used by a Lutheran church.

[GEO.TV] Ismail Haniyeh, the leader of the Palestinian group Hamas, issued a statement on Tuesday following the recent death of his sister, saying any deal that does not guarantee a ceasefire and an end to Israel's offensive in Gaza was "not an agreement".
"If [Israel] thinks targeting my family will change our position or that of the resistance, they are delusional," the statement said.
[GEO.TV] Israeli forces pounded several areas across Gaza on Wednesday, and residents reported fierce fighting overnight in Rafah in the south of the Palestinian enclave.
Residents said fighting intensified in the Tel Al-Sultan neighbourhood in western Rafah, where tanks were also trying to force their way north amid heavy clashes.
Medics said two Palestinians were killed in one Israeli missile strike in Rafah earlier on Wednesday.
The Israeli military said jets struck dozens of targets in Rafah overnight, including military structures and tunnel shafts.
In the northern Gaza town of Beit Lahiya, an Israeli air strike destroyed a house, killing four Palestinians and wounding several others, medics said.

[GEO.TV] Women and children queued up in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... ’s Khan Younis on Wednesday, waiting to receive a cooked meal from a charity kitchen at a school sheltering the displaced, as the flow of aid remained hindered.
Selah Abu Hajeb, who has been displaced from Gaza City, said she relied on charity to feed her children.
"We are struggling because we cannot find food and if we find food, it is with difficulty," she said.
In another location, people were seen gathered around a water tank, waiting to fill their containers.
"We struggle to get water, we wait for four, five or six hours to find water and then we go home. We save the water for drinking," said another displaced woman, Enayat Abu Hameed, as she attempted to pull her water containers with the help of two young children.
