WASHINGTON (Reuters) – U.S. Attorney General William Barr on Wednesday announced an initiative to prevent mass shootings by intervening to provide mental-health treatment and other forms of counseling to potentially violent individuals.

The new effort, announced in a memo to federal prosecutors and law enforcement officials, follows dozens of deadly mass shootings in the United States this year, including a massacre of 22 people at a Walmart in El Paso, Texas and another just one day later in Dayton, Ohio, in which nine people were killed.  Continue reading “Attorney General Barr launches effort to prevent more mass shootings”

GRAYS, England (Reuters) – British police found the bodies of 39 people inside a truck believed to have come from Bulgaria at an industrial estate near London on Wednesday, and said they had arrested the driver on suspicion of murder.

The discovery of the bodies – 38 adults and one teenager – was made in the early hours after emergency services were alerted to people in a truck container on a gritty industrial site in Grays, about 20 miles (32 km) east of central London.  Continue reading “UK police discover 39 bodies in truck, arrest driver”

I was deeply shaken while witnessing yesterday’s events in Westminster Magistrates Court. Every decision was railroaded through over the scarcely heard arguments and objections of Assange’s legal team, by a magistrate who barely pretended to be listening.

Before I get on to the blatant lack of fair process, the first thing I must note was Julian’s condition. I was badly shocked by just how much weight my friend has lost, by the speed his hair has receded and by the appearance of premature and vastly accelerated ageing. He has a pronounced limp I have never seen before. Since his arrest he has lost over 15 kg in weight.  Continue reading “Physically, Mentally Frail Assange Suffers “Vicious Travesty Of Justice” In Latest Court Appearance”

Homeless people living on the streets and sidewalks of downtown Miami are also relieving themselves on the streets and sidewalks of downtown Miami, turning the city’s core into an outdoor toilet, merchants and residents say.

“The situation is the worst I’ve seen in my 25 years here,” said business owner Jose Goyanes. “The stench is really bad, even after you hose it down. We see people urinating against buildings or pulling their pants down and squatting because they have nowhere else to go.”  Continue reading “Human waste from homeless people makes downtown Miami streets unpleasant, unsanitary”

I kicked this son of a bitch off the site a long time ago and bottom line, f-k him and the horse he rode in on, but look at how the pretend patriots run to their jews thinking they can violate the ratified law, the supreme superior law of this country.

They hate us because we tell the truth.  It does not make anybody special or more oppressed.  Continue reading “Check out the email I got this afternoon.”

During a hearing Tuesday on last year’s deadly Florida International University pedestrian footbridge collapse, the National Transportation Safety Board concluded that the bridge’s “catastrophic failure” stemmed from a flawed design with “significant errors.”

All of the major parties involved in the project — from the university to the Florida Department of Transportation and the project’s engineers and contractors — came in for harsh criticism during the public hearing, something they have largely avoided as the NTSB conducted a closed-doors investigation over the past 19 months while victims and their families demanded answers.  Continue reading “‘Screaming something was wrong’: Feds fault FIU, state and contractors for deadly bridge collapse”

A 17-year-old boy suspected of shooting a 16-year-old twice during a confrontation outside their Santa Rosa continuation school Tuesday morning was in custody as authorities lifted a 2.5-hour lockdown, allowing classes to resume for thousands of high school and junior college students on three adjoining campuses.

It’s the first school shooting in Sonoma County history.  Continue reading “Ridgway High School student, 17, arrested in shooting near Santa Rosa campus”

Speaking to reporters at the White House on Monday, President Trump bragged about his efforts to try to get the US “out of wars,” then warned that “we may have to get in wars, too. OK?“

Trump continued on talking about how ready the US is for a war with Iran, and how Iran will get hit “like they’ve never been hit before.” The implication is clear that Trump is nominally ending wars, but that America’s hawks will get fresh, new wars to replace them.

Princeton Theological Seminary will set aside more than $25 million to pay reparations for its historical ties to slavery, thrusting the seminary to the forefront of a national debate over how America’s should reconcile with its slave-owning past.

Calling the payments an act of repentance, President M. Craig Barnes said in a statement Friday the seminary is “committed to telling the truth,” even though the seminary itself never owned slaves. Continue reading “Princeton seminary will pay $27M in slavery reparations”
