Police are currently responding to a report of a shooting at a medical clinic in Rockford, Illinois.

Crusader Community Health CEO Gordon Eggers said that law enforcement is converging to the second floor of the clinic, according to a local NBC affiliate.

Patients, nurses and doctors are reported to have taken shelter inside storefronts, according to local busiensses. Streets in the area have been closed off.

Crusader VP of Development Linda Niemec says that some staff are still inside the building, but are in a secure location.


There have not been any deaths or injuries reported. All staff and patients have made it out safely, Eggers told WTVO.


A local reporter said that paramedics had to treat a child for a seizure when the child heard someone calling out about a man with a gun. Both the child and the paramedic crew are safe, and the Rockford Fire Department is standing by while police try to talk the suspected gunman down.

A man died Saturday afternoon in Indianapolis police custody after complaining of breathing problems. Terrell Day, an 18-year-old resident of the city, died in the back of an ambulance, and a full internal investigation is now taking place.

According to the police report, a loss prevention officer confronted Day under suspicion of shoplifting around 1 p.m. inside a Burlington Coat Factory, whereupon the latter pointed a handgun and ran away. Officers found Day in the grass behind a gas station, where he surrendered to them, the report stated. Officers called an ambulance after Day said he was having trouble breathing, and the responding EMS crew deemed him fit to go to the processing center via jail wagon; however when the wagon arrived, Day again said that he was experiencing breathing problems, according to the police report. After a second ambulance was called, his condition worsened, and the EMS crew was unable to save him, the report stated.

Several deaths while in police custody have been reported in recent months. In July, a 29-year-old woman charged with public intoxication died on the way to a Houston police station. In this instance, the woman was also cleared by health professionals. That same week, a 32-year-old man held by the same police department also died. In the same month, 28-year-old Sandra Bland was declared in a preliminary autopsy report to have died in jail from suicide by hanging. Bland had told officials who processed her arrest that she had previously attempted suicide.

San Diego doctor who admitted raping, photographing unconscious women at low-income clinic avoids jail

A San Diego physician avoided jail despite admitting to raping and photographing unconscious patients at a low-income health clinic.

Dr. Jeffrey Joel Abrams pleaded guilty in June to eight counts of sexual penetration of an unconscious person, three counts of sexual battery and one count of possession of child pornography, reported the Times of San Diego.

The 68-year-old Abrams, who was barred from ever practicing medicine again, was sentenced to 25 years and eight months in prison.

But Judge Laura Halgren suspended the entire term and ordered the doctor to serve one year of house arrest instead.

Prosecutors said they agreed to accept the plea deal, in part, because Abrams is suffering from kidney cancer and other health problems, and also to avoid requiring victims to testify in court. Investigators said Abrams conducted "unnecessary and inappropriate" vaginal exams on patients at Volunteers in Medicine, and he told women he needed cell phone photographs of their genitals for teaching purposes.

However, none of those photos — which potentially involved thousands of patients — were found in the patients' medical records. The charges are related to incidents involving 12 victims, including an 8-year-old girl, between June 2010 and June 2014.

Comment: The word psychopath often brings to mind people like Ted Bundy, John Wayne Gacy or even Hannibal Lector from Silence Of The Lambs. Unfortunately, there is a much broader spectrum of psychopaths that includes those in trusted positions in society.

Two teenagers have been arrested on suspicion of arson after a fire engulfed part of a south London mosque said to be the largest in western Europe.

Seventy firefighters battled the blaze at at the Baitul Futuh mosque in Morden on Saturday afternoon, which London fire brigade said had hit admininstrative buildings and not the main prayer room.

One man was taken to hospital suffering from smoke inhalation.

Two boys aged 14 and 16 have been arrested on suspicion of arson, and both remain in custody at a south London police station, Scotland Yard said on Sunday.

Crews from fire stations across south London responded to the fire, which was reported by a member of the public just after midday.

Comment: The fire comes at an interesting time. If it was an arson attack, it just goes to show that some Londoners are taking the not-so-subtle propaganda hook, line and sinker. Despite pleas to the contrary, the narrative that the propaganda makers want accepted is that Muslims are evil, they are a threat, we are in danger, and something needs to be done about it. Of course, this will only lead to a disaster. See: Sadistic Saudi princes and Washington warmongers Vs Russia's civilizing force

Banksy's Dismaland, his dystopian version of a Disney theme park in a rundown English seaside town, will be dismantled and all fixtures will be sent to the refugee camp to build shelters near Calais, France.

The park, which "acknowledges inequality and impending catastrophe," made the impromptu announcement—"coming soon... Dismaland Calais"—on its website, accompanied by a superimposed image of a fire-ravaged Cinderella Castle overlooking the refugee camp. The park came to a close yesterday (Sept. 27) but the announcement didn't state who would actually be building the shelters or how the project would work.

"Washington's Pope"? Who is Pope Francis? Good guy or bad guy?

In the course of the last two years, Pope Francis has been portrayed in chorus by the Western media as an antiwar activist and a left leaning champion of "Liberation Theology" committed to World peace and global poverty alleviation.
His September 24 speech to the US Congress was described as "stunning in the breadth, depth, and conviction of its progressivism."
"If President Barack Obama had delivered the text of Pope Francis's speech to Congress Thursday [September 24, 2015] as a State of the Union address, he would have risked being denounced by Republicans as a socialist."
Who is Pope Francis? Who was he before he became Pope?

Pope Francis is said to have brought "Liberation Theology into the Vatican", in the footsteps of Francis of Assisi. While highlighting his commitment to peace and social justice, the Western media fail to mention that Jorge Mario Bergoglio (Pope Francis I) has been a staunch supporter of US imperial interests in Latin America for more than 30 years.

While heralded by antiwar activists as a "progressive", Pope Francis was one of the main supporters - within the Catholic hierarchy - of Argentina's military dictatorship which came to power in a CIA supported coup in 1976.

Comment: Pope Francis just off his "rock star" tour of the US has been saying all the right things that people want to hear and give them hope. From the article above it looks like he helped support the fascists in Argentina. Is Pope Francis a good guy with a conscience who wants to help humanity or a tool for the psychopaths to fill their coffers at the Vatican? Maybe a little of both?

A US police officer is under investigation for excessive use of force, after a video emerged of the officer tasing a man who appeared to show no resistance. Witnesses who saw the incident in Fairfax County, Virginia, said "there was no reason to taser the man."

Police said the suspect was wanted in connection with a theft and approached him on September 24. A video posted on social media showed a police officer holding a taser, while issuing the man with instructions. The video shows the suspect complying and turning around to put his hands on top of the police vehicle. However, the law enforcement officer decided to taser the man, despite him appearing to show no resistance.

Children answer the question, 'What is war?'

war children
Children across the world - from peaceful London and Washington to war-torn Donetsk and Damascus - have been asked by RT to answer a simple question: "Do you know what war is?" This is what they replied.

Four-year-old Eila Zecevic-John from London has never heard of the word. "A war?" she asks. No, she has definitely never heard this strange word in her life.

"A war is when one country beats the other country," states Louis Zelevich-John, a seven year old from London, though unconvinced; while Savva, who is the same age, believes that a war is when people "just want to kill" each other.

Eight-year-old Katie from Washington even found something good to say about war. She said that when a country fights, it gets "the specific thing."

Comment: If the world were not ruled by psychopaths no child on earth would have a concept of war.

A couple in Arizona woke up to a loud thud and later discovered a hole in their carport's roof and about 11 kilos of marijuana lying on what used to be their dog's kennel, now completely ruined.

Maya and Bill Donnelly woke up September 8 to a startling sound, but thought it was thunder and went back to sleep.

When morning came and Maya saw the dog's kennel with splintered wood around it she first thought their dog, a German Shepherd called Hulk, was to blame for the mess.

After she had a closer look, she noticed the hole in the roof and saw that the kennel house was completely destroyed by a heavy suspicious bundle.
