Society's Child
The tragedy appears to have struck out of the blue. Sixteen-year-old Timerlan, from a village in the Ulyanovsk region on the Volga River, was one of the best students in his school. He got nothing but excellent marks and successfully took part in intra-school competitions in various subjects.
The young man's demeanor had also been on a par with his outstanding academic performance: those who knew him described Timerlan as a friendly and cheerful guy who was never mean to anybody and never said a bad word. Though he'd grown up without his father, his relations with his other relatives were said to have been calm and peaceful.
The arrest of Jeffery Epstein and his subsequent demise in the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York has catapulted the massive problem of elite child sex trafficking into the limelight. Naturally, politicians on both sides — including the president — are attempting to use Epstein's death for political advantage which has skewed the discourse. However, for the first time, Americans are actually talking about the problem of child sexual abuse among the elite, and this is healthy.
The Proud Boys and Antifa held simultaneous demonstrations in Portland's downtown. Skirmishes, assaults and arrests occurred, with weapons seized.
Our reporter was in the streets and captured dramatic footage.
In one clip, an older man was assaulted by Antifa and his American flag was ripped out of his hands.

Jack Letts was 18 when he left his Oxfordshire home in 2014 before marrying in Iraq and moving to Raqqa in Syria. Captured by Kurdish forces as he attempted to flee to Turkey in May 2017, the 24-year-old, dubbed "Jihadi Jack", has since been held in jail in northern Syria.
According to the Mail on Sunday, Letts - who is a dual UK-Canadian national - has had his British citizenship revoked, a move that was one of the last actions of Theresa May's government.
A Home Office spokesman said: "Decisions on depriving a dual national of citizenship are based on substantial advice from officials, lawyers and the intelligence agencies and all available information. This power is one way we can counter the terrorist threat posed by some of the most dangerous individuals and keep our country safe."
In an interview with ITV earlier this year, Letts said he felt British and that he wanted to return to the UK, but admitted he did not think that would be likely.
'We are moving into a new, controlled society worse than old totalitarianism' - Zizek on Google leak
The intellectual told RT he's not advocating for online anarchy, comparing it to snuff movies in hardcore pornography - some regulation should be in place to block harmful content on the internet, he says. But hiding political motives for suppressing voices online is what worries Zizek the most.
"We all know we have to censor things at some level, but the main rule for me is that the process should be transparent. Not in the way - I'm talking about the developed West - it is done now, when all of a sudden somebody is prohibited and you are not even allowed to debate it," Zizek explains. The "false choice" between politically correct censorship and radical liberalism is a trap, he believes.
74 percent of people surveyed by pollster Emnid for Bild magazine believe they wouldn't feel less secure if American troops were to withdraw from Germany, as compared to 18 percent who said the US military presence reinforces their feeling of safety.
Previously, two American ambassadors, Georgette Mosbacher in Warsaw and the notorious Richard Grenell in Berlin, have hinted that relocating US forces to neighboring Poland might be a possibility, as Washington becomes increasingly angry at what it sees as Germany's low defense spending.
The Communist Party (KPRF) demonstration, sanctioned by Moscow authorities, kicked off at noon on Sakharov Avenue, a spacious, usually busy place that's been temporarily pedestrianized by police. Attendance at the rally initially seemed modest, with around 500 protesters turning up, but more people joined as the day progressed.
Aside from KPRF, there were also members of smaller left-wing groups who chose to join forces with the larger party. Moscow police estimated that over 4,100 people attended the event.
Jeffrey Epstein's lawyers have announced that they are planning to carry out an independent investigation into the death of the multi-millionaire, accused of sex-trafficking, and demand video footage from the prison. According to his legal team, they are "not satisfied with the conclusions of the medical examiner" that he killed himself in his cell in New York's Metropolitan Correctional Centre.
"It is indisputable that the authorities violated their own protocols", the lawyers said, also criticising the "harsh, even medieval conditions" in Epstein's prison.
"Syrian refugees that regularly spend holidays at home can't seriously talk about being persecuted in Syria," Horst Seehofer told Bild am Sonntag, adding that those following that logic "should be stripped of asylum."
Immigration authorities are closely following recent developments in Syria so that "repatriations" are carried out "when the situation allows."
His comment came as a wrap-up to the tabloid's report which highlighted Syrians who have consistently visited families or relatives back in their home cities without reporting these trips to German authorities upon return.
Once granted asylum, a refugee is not allowed to travel to their country of origin, family emergencies such as the illness of or death of a close relative being the only exceptions. But a Bild correspondent - himself a Syrian refugee - learned that a sizeable number of migrants manage to cheat the system.
Rep. Dan Forestal, a Democrat who was elected to the state House in 2012, approached a couple outside their Indianapolis home Saturday night and told them: "I'm a legit officer doing a drug bust and today is the last day before the Feds descend and start kicking in doors," court documents said.
He then showed them a badge with a silver chain and asked them to tell him where the "people selling drugs" lived.
Earlier in the evening, Forestal, 36, had been at a bar telling customers he was a firefighter, and asking them where he could buy "party favors" like cocaine, a bartender told investigators, according to an affidavit filed in Marion Superior Court on Wednesday.
