One more French Riviera town has outlawed burqinis since the city of Cannes issued a ban on the Muslim swimwear for women. This time, the mayor says the decision was made for "hygienic reasons."

"I was informed that there was a couple on one of our beaches where the wife was swimming fully dressed," Lionnel Luca, the mayor of Villeneuve-Loubet, a town with 15,000 residents, told AFP. "I considered that unacceptable for hygienic reasons and that, in general, it was unwelcome."

The decree enacting the ban was signed on August 5, but was only made public on Saturday. The text of the order says"access to swimming is prohibited from July 1 to August 31 for anyone not in appropriate dress, which respects morality and the principle of secularism, and respects the rules of hygiene and safety," the Le Monde newspaper, which saw the text, reported.

Comment: This has nothing to do with hygeine and everything to do with intolerance and racism.

Protesters burn cars and riot against police in Milwaukee after man is shot dead by cop

Riots and clashes with police have been reported in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, which began after a man was shot dead by an officer during a chase on foot on Saturday. Police say the victim was armed with a handgun.

Scores of angry African American protesters gathered near the scene of the police shooting at Sherman Boulevard. What at first seemed like a Black Lives Matter-style gathering soon got out of control, however.

Several vehicles, including a police car, were set on fire, and the crowd of rioters then proceeded to break into and loot a gas station, which was then seemingly set alight as well. An eyewitness nicknamed EX414 livestreamed the escalating violence on his Ustream channel.

Shots were being fired near the gas station, preventing police from extinguishing the fire, the Milwaukee Police Department said on its Twitter account. Police had said earlier that they were responding to the disturbance in the Sherman and Auer areas, tweeting that "officers working on peacefully dispersing [the] crowd." Rioters apparently set several other properties on fire, including a bank. A live stream video showed thick smoke coming out of the windows of BMO Harris Bank, while several fire trucks parked in the area could be seen responding to the fire, after some hesitation.

The leader of the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party known for its anti-immigrant stance has proposed deporting illegal immigrants and rejected asylum seekers to islands outside Europe. It comes as the German chancellor is trying to make businesses hire more refugees.

In an interview to Germany's Bild newspaper on Saturday, AfD's Frauke Petry said she would like to see all migrants unlawfully staying in Germany as well as applicants who were denied asylum to be repatriated to the "two islands outside Europe that are protected by the United Nations."

While on the way to the islands, the male refugees who are traveling alone should be separated from female refugees and families as it is allegedly "cheaper and more secure than the current practice," Petry said.

While the AfD leader has not specified the exact location, the remote Oceania islands of Nauru and Manus, Papua New Guinea that already host Australian-run refugee detention centers were the German media's first guess. The facilities are infamous for multiple reports of abuse and torture used toward refugees held in what is claimed to be unbearable conditions.

The floods, which have killed at least three people, are the result of torrential downpours that continue to batter parts of the southern US state.

The dramatic and highly dangerous rescue was captured in a video that shows the moment three men pull up in a boat to save the woman from drowning in the Baton Rouge floods.

Innocent family sues after police broke into home, shot dad, killed the dog, then shot each other

Police in DeKalb, Georgia, have yet to explain why they broke into the wrong home last August, killed a dog, shot the homeowner, and managed to shoot one of their own officers — so the terrorized couple have now planned to file a lawsuit.

Chris and Leah McKinley and their one-year-old child had settled in to watch a movie in their den when they heard a strange noise. They slowly cracked open the door and saw three men standing in their kitchen.

"As I'm opening it, pow pow pow pow pow," Chris told WSB-TV in an interview, emphasizing officers started shooting before he'd even fully opened the door. One of the bullets hit him in the leg.

Immediately, the McKinleys assumed the armed men dressed entirely in black to be robbers — and Leah panicked.

"It was five shots and I thought they just murdered him, they're going to come for me and they're going to get my baby," Leah explained. "And that's all I could think about."

Crowds of protesters gathered in Milwaukee, Wisconsin after an officer fatally shot an allegedly armed man. The rally soon turned violent as protesters set cars and properties ablaze and clashed with police. Officials have confirmed that at least three people have been arrested.

The suspect was 23 years old and had a lengthy arrest record, said the authorities, which also claimed that he was carrying a stolen handgun loaded with 23 rounds of ammunition.

Violence is ongoing in the city, according to reports on Twitter. Urban Suburban Fire Incident Reporting, USFiR2015, reported a garage fire in the Bobolink Avenue district and a blaze on Burleigh street.

"We are asking every resident of this community to do everything they can to help us restore order," Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett said. "If you love your son, if you love your daughter, text them, call them, pull them by the ears and get them home."

Not hypocritical much: Hillary Clinton's protective wall around Chappaqua estate

Bill's quote
Hillary Clinton doesn't miss an opportunity to ridicule Donald Trump's illegal immigration solution of a wall on the southern border — but that's exactly what she's deployed to keep undesirables away from her.

"First of all, as I understand him, he's talking about a very tall wall, a beautiful tall wall, the most beautiful tall wall, better than the Great Wall of China, that would run the entire border," Clinton riffed in March.

"He would somehow magically get the Mexican government to pay for it. It's just fantasy."

A series of photos reveal a massive barrier running the entire border of Bill and Hillary Clinton's estate in Chappaqua, New York — undoubtedly intended to keep the unwashed masses away from the political elites.

This aerial photo shows the high white fence surrounding the Clintons' property:

Comment: The author of the article is incorrect. The big walls were built so they could hide the dead bodies inside of them.

A lone gunman killed a Queens imam and his assistant as the pair walked home from Saturday afternoon prayers, shooting each in the head from close range, cops and witnesses said.

Both victims were dressed in Muslim garb when targeted by the shooter, who fled the scene on foot and remained at large. Members of the mosque quickly denounced the double homicide as a hate crime.

"That's not what America is about," said local resident Khairul Islam, 33. "We blame Donald Trump for this ... Trump and his drama has created Islamophobia."
