A bizarre incident has occurred in Saudi Arabia, in which a dead body tied to a bed was discovered in the middle of a road. The victim, who turned out to be an illegal migrant, had been gunned down, according to local police.

Motorists made the chilling discovery 11 km away from the southern Saudi city of Abha late on Thursday. The dead body, wrapped in a blanket, was lying on a cast iron bed without mattress right in the middle of the road, footage from the scene shows.

The dead man was reportedly tied to the bed with a rope.

On Friday, the police said that the deceased man was identified as an illegal migrant in his 20s. The man had died from a rifle-caliber gunshot wound, forensic examination has shown.

Comment: Abhorrent behaviour seems to be the norm in the despotic state of Saudi Arabia:

In what a London transport official described as an "extremely rare" incident, a 46-year-old man pushed Sir Robert Malpas, 91, onto tracks shortly after an unsuccessful attempt on another tube passenger.

The British Transport Police has released a clip purportedly showing two murder attempts on the London Underground.

In the first incident, CCTV footage shows a man pushing a senior citizen onto the train tracks at Marble Arch station. He was hauled up to safety by a quick-thinking bystander, who suffered a head burn from the electrified track in the process.

'Women are the n-word of the world': Twitter unrelenting in takedown of Bette Midler for terrible comparison

RT
Fri, 05 Oct 2018 00:38 UTC

Actress and singer Bette Midler has been verbally flayed online after an ill-judged hot take stating: "Women are the n-word of the world."

Midler, 72, is widely known as both an environmental and civil rights activist as well as a self-declared ally of marginalized groups in society. However, her past good behavior did not spare her from the baying Twitter mob Thursday night.

Midler initially defended the tweet by drawing attention to the cause-du-jour, Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, while also claiming she was invoking the sentiments of Yoko Ono, who infamously penned a song with her late husband John Lennon called 'Woman is the N***er of the world', in 1972.

It wasn't long before the tidal wave of backlash forced her into an embarrassing climbdown mere hours later in which she deleted the offending tweets and apologized.

Once again, however, backlash was immediate, intense and unrelenting. She was then accused of 'whitesplaining' as a means of damage limitation.

Meng Hongwei, the director of Interpol, is reportedly missing. His wife last had contact with him before he went to China about a week ago.

Interpol, an organization that is supposed to be capable of locating anyone anywhere in the world, is missing its own director. Chinese politician Meng Hongwei, head of Interpol since 2016, fell off the radar in late September, and the French police have reportedly started looking for him.

Meng and his family reside in Lyon, France, the seat of Interpol headquarters. His wife reported him missing after he took a trip to China on September 29, and hasn't been heard from since.

Five people have been injured after a car dove into a café in Charlottenburg in western Berlin, local media reported. The police said the driver apparently lost control of the vehicle due to health problems.

The car, an Audi, skidded off the road and ran into the café wall at high speed, according to eyewitnesses. Four pedestrians and the driver, who was trapped inside the vehicle, were injured in the incident.

It happened shortly after midday local time. Rescuers say the impact of the vehicle may have compromised the structural integrity of the building, which will have to be checked for safety.

Two of the people hurt were taken to hospital.

'Eat snow & pray': Helicopter pilot rescued after four nights stranded in Russia's coldest region

A helicopter pilot has survived four days on a snowy mountain without food or water, jogging around the ruined helicopter wreckage, doing pushups, and eating snow to stay alive in Russia's coldest region.

Alexander Novoseltsev was flying his Robinson helicopter from Srednekolymsk, a town in the north east of Russia, to Yakutsk, the capital of Russia's Sakha Republic - notorious for its cold temperatures, when he crashed on a snowy mountain.

Novoseltsev was midway into his trip, flying near the Chersky ridge - which he later described as a "death trap", when a snow shower started and he crashed into a gorge.

What followed were days of staving off death against all odds. Novoseltsev immediately sent an SOS signal. "My clothes is thin, I'm freezing. The gorge is narrow. It will be hard to land MI-8 [helicopter] here," he wrote, providing his location. Then, all Novoseltsev could do was wait for rescue crews in temperatures as low as minus 5 degrees celsius (−5°C).

Although rescue teams were sent straight away, their efforts were hampered by bad weather. The crash happened on September 29, and the next day, rescuers approached the foot of the 2,400 meter (7,874 ft) tall mountain. They had a further 1,600 meters (5,250 ft) to climb before they would reach the marooned helicopter pilot. Then neither the crew nor the rescue helicopter could go up because of the blizzard.

Make America Great Again? Things Not Looking Good For The 'Internet Generation'

"The American University is in the grip of mass hysteria." This is how Heather MacDonald begins her lecture 'The Diversity Delusion'. I think we can all agree that this is the case. It doesn't help that teachers are being fired for not giving students partial credit for no work done. When well-off and coddled students claim to be 'fearful for their lives' due to being 'surrounded by oppressors, transphobes and racists,' and when young doctors protest over 'fact-based' medicine, we can probably agree that we are in a pretty bad spot. But, as I recently found out, it appears things are only going to get worse.

I came across a book by Jean M. Twenge called the iGen: Why Today's Super-Connected Kids Are Growing Up Less Rebellious, More Tolerant, Less Happy - and Completely Unprepared for Adulthood. This book - chock full of statistics, graphs and charts - provides a shocking picture of the generation that is now moving through universities and colleges, and it is not looking pretty.

Jury finds Chicago police officer guilty of murder in Laquan McDonald 2014 fatal shooting

A Chicago jury has found former police officer Jason Van Dyke guilty of murder for the fatal 2014 shooting of a black teenager. The shooting ignited widespread protests and fanned racial tensions in the already violent city.

The jury found Van Dyke guilty of second-degree murder, making him the first Chicago police officer to be found guilty of murder while on duty in almost 50 years. Van Dyke was originally charged with first-degree murder, aggravated battery, and official misconduct, for his role in the shooting dead of black teenager Laquan McDonald in 2014.

Van Dyke shot McDonald from ten feet away, after McDonald disobeyed commands to drop the folding knife he was carrying. Van Dyke fired 16 shots at McDonald, with a grand jury adding one count of aggravated battery for each bullet fired. He was found guilty of all 16 counts of aggravated battery, but cleared of official misconduct.

In the aftermath of McDonald's death, three other police officers - including Van Dyke's partner on the night - were charged last year with attempting to cover up the shooting, to which they pleaded not guilty.

'It's child abuse': Sweden Democrats Party makes move to ban baby circumcision

RT

One of the leaders of right-wing Sweden Democrats Party (SDP) has called for a ban on non-medical male circumcision, dubbing the practice "backward" child abuse in a draft motion put to Swedish parliament.

Sweden Democrats Secretary Richard Jomshof put forward the non-binding motion, entitled "Prohibition of non-medical circumcision," calling for parliament to act on a procedure that the SDP considers "regular abuse of the individual child as well as an infringement of the child's integrity and self-determination." A vote on the circumcision motion has not yet been scheduled.

If the motion is approved, the ban would mean that circumcisions could no longer be carried out for religious reasons. Jews perform the procedure on 8-day-old babies, while those of the Muslim faith perform the cut later in childhood.

Social Democrat Prime Minister Stefan Lofven previously stated that the SDP is "rooted in racism and Nazism," and voting for them is"dangerous" for the nation, adding that a vote for the anti-immigration party was "like trying to quench fire with alcohol." The Sweden Democrats hold 18 percent of the seats in parliament.
