A Pennsylvania trooper and a game officer accidentally bulldozed a suspected cannabis grower during a hot pursuit through a field. The USA's largest marijuana advocacy group has questioned police tactics after the tragic death.

The bizarre and tragic incident unfolded on Monday morning when a Pennsylvania Game Commission employee, operating a bulldozer, noticed a car parked in a field on the game lands of Penn Township. After detecting an "unusual activity" by two men, the state employee called the police.

When reinforcements arrived the two suspects tried fleeing the scene. Officers managed to capture 54-year-old David Brook Light, from Sinking Spring. The other man, Gregory A. Longenecker, 51, from Reading, attempted to escape through the field.

Police called-in a chopper to locate the fugitive in the thick underbrush, and then used the bulldozer to pursue the suspect. However, unable to clearly see Longenecker, they accidentally ran him over.

A Michigan woman, who claims she was raped by former Covert Township police officer Erich Fritz, is now suing the former officer as well as the township. Fritz, acting in his duties as a Covert Township police officer, pulled over the car in which Melissa McMillan was a passenger in July of 2016. But instead of taking McMillan to jail, Fritz took her to a motel where he allegedly kidnapped and raped her.

The case went to trial in 2017 with McMillan highly dissatisfied with the slap on the wrist the former officer received. Fritz was originally charged with sexual assault and kidnapping. Fritz' lawyers successfully plea bargained helping to get the officer out of the kidnapping and sexual assault charges. He ultimately pleaded "no contest" to "unlawful imprisonment." Fritz maintained the sex between he and McMilan was consensual. The judge sentenced Fritz to a year in jail with one day of time served. At sentencing, McMilan addressed the court saying:

[Fritz] knew I was highly intoxicated yet he used that as a selfish opportunity...My life has been forever changed. Every aspect of my life has been affected. My children who struggled, my friends, family and loved ones who have watched me through a year of hell...Though the victim said she's grateful Fritz is off the police force, one year in jail is not long enough...I feel you did not get the full punishment that you deserved, but your friends, family, the public and most importantly you will always know what you did," she said to Fritz...You will never be a police officer again, and for that I'm grateful.

Dr. Takeda said we will be reading in the newspapers about global cooling and not global warming in the second half of this year'. HONMADEKKA!? TV is broadcast nationwide ever Wednesday evening on Fuji TV. And when questioned about an mini ice age, he affirmed it - adding crops would be adversely affected.

A Dallas man had a bizarre explanation for why he was with a 15-year-old girl after falling foul of the law for parking in a disabled parking space - the girl was his wife, he reportedly told police.

Jose Nahun Lopez-Cruz, 24, offered the confession after an officer spotted the pair getting out of a car parked in a disabled spot in the Trinity Groves area of Dallas, according to police records seen by the Dallas Morning News. The officer then asked the man about an open can of alcohol in the car, which the man said belonged to his teenage companion.

72-year-old Florida man arrested for sinister plot to burn down his apartment building and kill all the Jews inside

A resident of a Miami Beach condo was arrested just before he set his apartment complex, with "all of the f**king Jews" inside, on fire. The 72-year-old Neo-Nazi told cops arresting him that he'd wanted to have "a small barbecue."

After being served with an eviction notice, Walter Stolper, 72, apparently decided to take revenge and burn down the building by pouring gasoline down the drain line of the Miami Beach apartment complex.

To help the flames spread and make sure the place burned down completely -along with "with all the f**king Jews"- the "very, very, very dangerous" person planned to use two fans. To further his sinister plan, he tampered with smoke detectors inside the building and placed a padlock on the complex's fire hoses, to prevent rescue teams from extinguishing the blaze, the police report of Thursday's arrest read.

In razing Khan al-Ahmar, Israel will destroy any illusions of a peace process

Israeli forces violently attacked Palestinian demonstrators protesting the demolition of the occupied Bedouin village of Khan al-Ahmar.

Israel finally built an access road to the West Bank village of Khan al-Ahmar last week, after half a century of delays. But the only vehicles allowed along it are the bulldozers scheduled to sweep away its 200 inhabitants' homes.

If one community has come to symbolize the demise of the two-state solution, it is Khan al-Ahmar.

It was for that reason that a posse of European diplomats left their air-conditioned offices late last week to trudge through the hot, dusty hills outside Jerusalem and witness for themselves the preparations for the village's destruction. That included the Israeli police viciously beating residents and supporters as they tried to block the advance of heavy machinery.

Elon Musk faces wrath of twitterverse after being exposed as Republican PAC donor

RT
Sun, 15 Jul 2018 10:58 UTC

SpaceX and Tesla CEO Elon Musk is facing criticism over his environmental stance after donating $38,900 to a Republican PAC, which is lobbying for the GOP to retain control of Congress ahead of the midterm election.

Federal Election Commission filings, which were released on Saturday, showed Musk to be among the top 50 donors to Protect The House, a group that supports the anti-environmental stance of the GOP. However, the CEO has denied any political affiliation with the group, claiming not to be a "conservative" but rather a registered independent with "politically moderate" beliefs, caring more about humanitarian issues and the environment.

"Reports that I am a top donor to GOP are categorically false. I am not a top donor to any political party," Musk tweeted on Thursday.

Fists were flying and bats were swinging as demonstrators at a Free Tommy Robinson rally were involved in clashes with counter protesters at an event in London. The rally joined a pro-Trump demonstration that took place earlier.

The 'Welcome President Trump' rally marched to Whitehall from the US embassy in Battersea at midday, while the Tommy Robinson demonstration started to gather at around 2pm. The crowd featured numerous people carrying "Britain supports Trump" placards.

Police had issued restrictions on the demonstrations amid fears of confrontations with counter protesters. Activists were handed leaflets explaining that anyone who contravened the timing and location of the demonstration could face prosecution.

Muslim swimmers kicked out of city pool over 'cotton rule,' mayor apologizes

Sun, 15 Jul 2018 12:29 UTC

The mayor of a US city has apologized after officials forced a group of Muslim children out of a community pool by falsely claiming that their hijabs and niqabs did not meet safety standards.

Mayor Mike Purzycki of Wilmington in Delaware said staff had exercised "poor judgement" at the Foster Brown public pool earlier this month. The situation arose when the director of a summer Arabic enrichment program was approached by the pool manager, who cited a policy that supposedly prohibited swimmers from wearing cotton in public pools.

The manager said that the elementary-school-aged swimmers had to leave the pool because they were wearing cotton shirts, shorts, hijabs and headscarves. However, no such specific rule exists.

"There's nothing posted that says you can't swim in cotton," Tahsiyn Ismaa'eel, owner and principal of the Darul-Amaanah Academy, told Delaware Online. "At the same time, there were other kids with cotton on. I asked, 'Why are my kids being treated differently?'"

A man accused of attacking his wife with a chainsaw has been deported from the US 11 times since 2005, officials from US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) have said.

Alejandro Alvarez Villegas allegedly attacked his wife at their home in Whittier, southern California, with a mechanical saw while their three children were present, according to police. The 32-year-old is then said to have fled the scene in a stolen car. He was later picked up by police after detectives developed information about his whereabouts.

Police said that when officers arrived at the home they found the woman suffering from traumatic physical injuries believed to have been inflicted by a chainsaw. The victim was transported to a local hospital and her current condition is unknown.

In a statement to RT, ICE officials said that police have been requested to notify ICE prior to the release of Alvarez Villegas to enable customs officials to take him into custody. "Department of Homeland Security databases indicate Mr. Alvarez Villegas is a serial immigration violator who has been removed from the United States 11 times since 2005," the statement read.
