Dramatic footage has been released showing a car speeding down a quiet residential street and ploughing into four vehicles - totaling two of them - before the passengers and their dog walk away from the wreckage.

A red Peugeot 308 is seen crashing and spinning 180 degrees at high speed into parked vehicles on the narrow street in Grimsby, Lincolnshire, on Wednesday night, just 20 seconds after a cyclist had passed the spot.

A man in red shorts, believed to have been driving the car, calmly leaves the vehicle and flees the scene. A woman and another man with a dog also get out of the car.

They then reportedly flagged down a vehicle to ask for a lift, witnesses told the Grimsby Telegraph.

Harsh economic realities: Millennials are having a hard time transitioning into adulthood

By his twenties, Kyle Kaylor imagined he would be living on his own, nearing a college degree, and on his way to a job that fulfilled him.

Instead, at 21, he found himself out of school, living with his parents, and "stuck" working as a manager at a fast food restaurant scraping to make hand-to-mouth.

Launching into adulthood has been tricky, he said.

"It became too difficult financially to be in school and not working," says Kaylor, who dropped out of Lincoln Christian University, in Illinois, after one semester because of a money crunch. "And without schooling, you can't get a job that you can survive on, so I had to move back home," he said.

It's a scenario that has become far too common, according to a new census report out Wednesday that reveals staggering statistics on millennials and their journey to independence.

Comment: Unfortunately it's not just the economy that is causing this unprecedented 'failure to launch'. Millennials have a reputation for being narcissistic and entitled, shallow, obsessed with technology and social media and unable to cope with reality. For more information on the phenomenon, listen to the Health & Wellness Show: The Millennial Syndrome: Why they gotta be like that?

gay gulags chechnya
On Monday, April 17, the Council of Europe Secretary General, Thorbjorn Jagland, called on Russia to investigate information about" torture and abductions" of homosexuals in Chechnya. "I'm sure your office is well aware of these allegations. Considering the severity of such claims, of course, I am sure you will consider them with due care, "- it said in a letter to the Commissioner for Human Rights in Russia, Tatiana Moskalkova.

The head of Chechnya , Ramzan Kadyrov has called accusations against Chechen security forces - simple slander. Russian President's Press Secretary, Dmitriy Peskov, has confirmed that law enforcement agencies are investigating the possibility of any such claims.

Comment: The West never misses an opportunity to demonize Russia or Putin no matter how tenuous the accusations, yet there is nary a hint of reprisal regarding Saudi Arabia's persecution of gay men.

Americans are more stressed than ever and losing sleep over money issues

The most common stressor is health care or insurance bills at 38%, followed by saving for retirement at 37%
Americans are more stressed than ever — and for most of them, their bank accounts are to blame.

The majority of Americans (65%) are losing sleep over money issues, according to a new study from CreditCards.com — up from 56% in 2007. The most common stressor is health care or insurance bills at 38%, followed by saving for retirement at 37%. "What people worry about most changed quite a bit in the past year," Matt Schulz, senior industry analyst at CreditCards.com said. "Health care has been such a hot button issue for so long, and whether it's around the election or just about the cost of maintaining your own health care, we've seen a big jump in worrying about that." (Health care was a factor for just 29% of respondents in 2016.)

In addition to health care and retirement, 34% worry the most over educational expenses, 26% about mortgage bills, and 22% due to credit-card debt. Shulz said the share of people who cited credit card debt as the most preoccupying has fallen in recent years, showing despite the fact that credit card debt is hitting record highs, it is the least of consumers' worries. They may have cause for the lack of sleep: Credit-debt surged passed the $1 trillion mark, according to Federal Reserve data released earlier this month.

Only in police state USA could an argument over a husband failing to notice his wife's haircut end with police tasering and severely beating a man as he lays in bed. That is exactly what happened to Marine Corps veteran Fernando Del Valle — and he's got the video to prove it.

Although the incident occurred last September, the video was just released. It shows the horrifying nature of a problem cop who's overly prone to violence.

On the night of September 24, Del Valle, 38, and his wife had some drinks and got into an argument after he failed to notice her haircut. The argument became heated but never once turned physical.

As Del Valle retreated into the bedroom and locked himself in, the couple's screaming got the attention of the neighbors, who, in turn, called the police.

Kori Muhammad, a black man charged in the shooting murders of three white men in Fresno, California, will also face hate crime enhancements, according to police. Terrorism has been ruled out, an initial suspicion as the suspect shouted, "Allahu akbar."

Muhammad, 39, not only faces three murder charges for a shooting spree on Tuesday in downtown Fresno, but also faces another murder charge for the fatal shooting last Thursday of Carl Williams, a Motel 6 security guard, whom Muhammad said "disrespected" him.

Hate crime enhancements will be applied to the three Tuesday murders, as Muhammad targeted his victims for their race and gender, Fresno Police Chief Jerry Dyer told reporters Wednesday.

In 2016, the attention of much of the world was centered on a rumored sex trafficking scandal in Washington, DC known as "Pizzagate." While any truth that pizzagate exists was dismissed by the mainstream media as rumor and fodder for conspiracy theorists, many people felt that at the very least, it warranted an investigation. However, that did not happen.

In fact, since that time, child sex scandals have been uncovered in Europe, the UK, and in India. And just this week, as TFTP reported, a high-ranking member of the U.S. military (retired) and former VP of Dynacorp was arrested on child rape charges. Meanwhile, the latest iteration of a pizzagate-style child sex ring involves yet again, the clergy, and a high-ranking official within child services.

Ohio Pastors Cordell Jenkins (46) and Anthony Haynes (37) were arrested on charges of sex trafficking minors earlier this month. ABC reported their crimes involved the "recruiting, enticing and transporting people the men knew were under 18 to engage in sex acts for pay." The report says the sex trafficking started three years ago with a girl who was 14 at the time. Jenkins is also charged with having sex with a minor in exchange for money.

Massachusetts-based headphones and speakers producer, Bose Corp, is facing a lawsuit after being accused of covertly collecting data about its customers through a headphones app and then selling those private details to some data mining companies.

The lawsuit accuses the company of violating a number of privacy protection laws by "secretly collecting, transmitting and disclosing its customers' private music and audio selections to third parties." The complaint against the Framingham, Massachusetts-based company was filed by an Illinois resident, Kyle Zak, in federal court in Chicago on Tuesday.

Zak said he downloaded the free Bose Connect app available on Apple Inc or Google Play stores to his smartphone to "get the most out of your headphones." He also said that he provided the company with his name, email address and headphone serial number to download the app.

The US Navy has banned Navy and Marine Corps personnel from posting nude photos of others online without their consent.

The new regulation is a direct response to the nude photo sharing scandal which rocked the military last month. It emerged that male marines and sailors were posting naked pictures of their female colleagues on a Facebook page without permission.

A criminal investigation is underway into the Marine United Facebook group, which had, at its peak, 30,000 members. The inquiry is focusing on an estimated 500 members of the group who allegedly shared the images or directed slurs - including rape and death threats - at some of the women.
