[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Two teenagers have been charged as juveniles in the Kansas City Chiefs parade shooting, despite a prosecutor previously saying they would be accused as adults.
The suspects, who remain unidentified by authorities, are charged with gun-related offenses and resisting arrest, said The Jackson County Family Court division.
Do either of the lads live together with both biological parents?
'It is anticipated that additional charges are expected in the future as the investigation by the Kansas City Police Department continues,' the Office of the Juvenile Officer said in a statement.
Missouri law dictates that juvenile hearings are not open to the public. It's possible the suspects could be charged as adults if and when they are charged with a felony.
A third juvenile initially believed to be involved has since been determined to not been connected to the shooting and was released.
As Kansas City tries to recover after the mass shooting that turned a Super Bowl celebration into chaos, police are working with juvenile prosecutors to determine what happens next with the two young people in custody.
Police Chief Stacey Graves said investigators believe the shooting was triggered by a personal dispute between a small group, and the parade was not the target. Graves added that preliminary findings show no connection to terrorism or homegrown extremism.
[MAIL] Fani Willis has been furiously mocked on social media over accusations that she accidentally put on her dress backwards before taking the stand in court this week.
The 53-year-old Fulton County District Attorney - who has been testifying at a hearing over misconduct allegations - was brutally savaged on social media after eagle-eyed users pointed out that she had a zipper running up the front of her pink frock.
Fani, who has been accused of lying about the timeline of her 'romantic' relationship with the special prosecutor she appointed to Donald Trump's election interference case, sparked a frenzy of sartorial speculation with the look as the internet tried to figure out whether the quirky design was accidental or intentional.
Although her staggering testimony, which saw her firing back against the 'extremely offensive' claims, left people stunned, many eyes were on her 'embarrassing' ensemble error, which prompted viewers to ridicule the attorney's capabilities, with some joking that 'she can't even dress herself.'

She grew up in California and went to law school, so she must be able to speak Standard American. But her father is a Black Panthers VIP, so she knows all the tricks to make it about race.

Self awareness is long gone. His facial expression is pretty much a screen saver at this point. Not my screen saver BTW. The type of screen saver that you find in your cubical if your forget to log off your machine and go to lunch.

Signs of the community’s still-hurt feelings were evident. Some people shouted profanity at Biden as his motorcade whisked him into town from an earlier stop in Darlington Township, Pennsylvania, where he greeted local officials and first responders. A sign invoked the illness of the president’s late son, Beau, who died of brain cancer.

His "speech" was hard to watch. He spent a lot of time looking down at his printed speech and mumbled a lot. He walks as if it's painful, shuffling along.

After all this time, why did he even bother? What did he and his handlers think could be gained? I know they're crooked but are they really that stupid as well?

From Frank G's link, "An act of greed that was 100 percent preventable."
Yeah, and if Pete had been doing his job it would have been prevented. Sorry, Pete. Sorry, Joe. It happened on your watch. You own it.

"We need a trip to Palestine."
Must have been a miscommunication with scheduling, like that super bowl team which booked Randy Moss. The old white guy Randy Moss. Ooops.
[IsraelTimes] A New York judge has ordered Donald Trump ...dictatorial for repealing some (but not all) of the diktats of his predecessor, misogynistic because he likes pretty girls, homophobic because he doesn't think gender bending should be mandatory, truly a man for all seasons...... to pay $355 million over fraud allegations and banned him from running companies in the state for three years in a major blow to his business empire and financial standing.
Trump — almost certain to be the Republican presidential nominee this November — was found liable for unlawfully inflating his wealth and manipulating the value of properties to obtain more favorable bank loans or insurance terms.
As the case was civil, not criminal, there was no threat of jail time. But Trump said ahead of the ruling that a ban on conducting business in New York state would be akin to a "corporate death penalty ."
Trump, who faces 91 criminal indictments in other cases, has seized on his legal woes to fire up supporters and denounce his likely opponent President Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. We hold these truths to be self-evident. All men and women created... by the — you know — you know, the thing... , claiming that court cases are "just a way of hurting me in the election."
The extent of the order by Judge Arthur Engoron threatens to shatter his personal wealth and ability to earn in the future.
The "defendants’ refusal to admit error — indeed, to continue it, according to the Independent Monitor — constrains this Court to conclude that they will engage in it going forward unless judicially restrained," Engoron writes in his scathing order.
"Indeed, Donald Trump testified that, even today, he does not believe the Trump Organization needed to make any changes based on the facts that came out during this trial."
It was as a property developer and businessman in New York that Trump built his public profile which he used as a springboard into the entertainment industry and ultimately the presidency.
The judge’s order was a victory for New York state Attorney General Letitia James. She had sought $370 million from Trump to remedy the advantage he is alleged to have wrongfully obtained, as well as having him barred from conducting business in the state.

Political repression has arrived in force. Extortion, violation of civil rights, unlawful confiscation, entrapment and imprisonment of supporters, intimidation and threats of assassination (see cryptic threat made by George Soros's son Alex Soros), etc..

Between the United States and Russia, one country just arbitrarily seized the assets of an oligarch opposed to the regime, and is trying to jail him

Judge has well documented bias. Decision was cooked in the cake before the first selfies taken. I enjoyed the fix being so in, everyone involved got cocky and exposed themselves.

^ A lot of the New York big money bidness community is nervous about the "precedent" set here. Phones will be ringing in the places where appeals court judges take phone calls.

The dizziness of NBC news this morning gleefully reporting the judgement against Trump and then the very next story outlining the tyranny of Russia versus Putin’s political opponent. Not seeing the irony is quite unbelievable if not intentional.
Well, the State of New York figures they're up $355 million...

3/4 of what the judge used to convict Trump was well past the statute of limitations. That alone should guarantee an appeal victory but considering this is New York I am very skeptical.

Yeah, I hear a lot of talk about CNN but NBC, ABC and CBS are just as bad.

I think the outrageous amount and conditions were intended to accomplish two things - to garner as much attention and encouragement as possible for Trump's enemies as it made headlines, and the guarantee that the Appellate Court could act in some "reasonable" fashion to overturn the insanity. Engoron has made his bones for the political establishment in the miasma that is New York demokrat politics, and will be immune from actual consequences.
That it confirms the reasons for mockery of "equal justice under the law" and contributes to the general decline of public trust in government is unimportant to the left, they have long since abandoned any understanding of "consent of the governed" and don't see where that leads!
