An 18-year-old man has been detained after a gruesome chainsaw and ax attack in a shopping center in the Belarusian capital which left one woman dead and another injured.

"The suspect is a citizen of Belarus, born in 1998 and currently living in Minsk," police chief Alexander Barsukov was quoted as saying by Interfax. "He is now being interrogated at a police station in the capital."

The suspect, armed with an ax and a chainsaw, reportedly entered the Europe shopping center in central Minsk through a back door before attacking a group of young women sitting outside a pizzeria at around 17:40 local time. One of the women was killed while another was wounded by the chainsaw. To some witnesses, it appeared that the murdered woman may have been decapitated.

"He was some kind of madman," an eyewitness told the website Onliner.by. "He lashed out at the first person he saw and cut off her head."

Bad idea: Clown Lives Matter March planned for Tuscon

clown
Clowns are the latest group to feel profiled and discriminated against. Taking a cue from Black Lives Matter and Blue Lives Matter, we now have...Clown Lives Matter.

No, I am not making this up.

Over the last few months, communities across the US have been spooked by clown sightings, clown-related threats, clowns trying to lure children into the woods, clowns chasing kids with baseball bats, and clown attacks.

People have been arrested for dressing as clowns and harassing people, schools are on high alert (some are even calling parents to warn them about clown sightings), and a man in Kentucky was arrested for firing a shot in the air after mistaking a woman walking her dog for a clown.

The public is justifiably unnerved.

So, in an attempt to calm people down and reduce clown-phobia, organizers in Arizona have planned a Clown Lives Matter march for October 15 in Tuscon.

Dashcam evidence of cop raping women while on duty leads to his arrest

Christopher Odom
The lure of authority is attractive to those who seek domination over others, and there's no easier outlet to assert that authority than becoming a police officer. A now-former Spring Hill cop proves the case quite well after being caught pulling women over and raping them. His sick desire to dominate and rape was so flagrant that he cared not about these crimes being recorded on his own dashcam.

According to the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, Spring Hill Police Officer Christopher Odom was caught raping at least two women in two separate incidents during on-duty traffic stops.

The TBI say they launched their investigation on August 1 after they learned Odom pulled over a car driven by a female in June and raped her.

According to a press release, the TBI says it happened again with another female in July.

Senseless abuse: U.S. public schools are still legally beating children, injuring thousands of kids

georgia public school paddling, corporal punishment
A new report, analyzing data from the U.S. Department of Education, shows that a shocking level of corporal punishment — where school personnel physically strike a child — is still being carried out in public schools.

The Society for Research in Child Development reported that more than 160,000 children were subject to corporal punishment in one year, in the 19 states which have not banned the practice. The report represents "the first-ever effort to describe the prevalence of and disparities in the use of school corporal punishment at the school and school-district levels."

Most of this barbarity is carried out in southeastern states, and there appears to be a great deal of prejudice. In many states, children with disabilities were 50% more likely to receive corporal punishment than non-disabled children. In Alabama and Mississippi, black children were 51% more likely to be physically punished than white children in more than half of school districts.

Mississippi also has the dubious honor of being the state with the highest frequency, with 1 in 14 kids being physically struck by school personnel.

Comment: The school system in the U.S. has never been meant to educate the masses, but rather serves to indoctrinate children to be obedient slaves.

Evildoers on Twitter beware: You can now be served lawsuits in a tweet

A Kuwaiti religious leader who allegedly raised money for jihadist rebels in Syria appears poised to become the first person served a U.S. lawsuit via Twitter.

Hajjaj bin Fahd al-Ajmi has been a hard man to reach for a lawyer seeking compensation in a northern California federal court on behalf of hundreds of thousands of Assyrian Christians who own property in Iraq and Syria.

U.S. Magistrate Judge Laurel Beeler, resolving the impasse, found al-Ajmi has "an active Twitter account and continues to use it," offering the "method of service most likely to reach" him to satisfy the service of process requirement for the case to move forward.

Al-Ajmi is accused by both the U.S. government and the U.N. Security Council of funneling money to armed terrorists.

Cop illegally enters family's yard, executes their dog for no reason leaving seven orphaned puppies

A Shreveport, Louisiana, cop inquiring about trash in someone else's lot, walked into Patricia Powell's backyard — after she explicitly told him not to — and executed her beloved dog for literally no reason.

"I told him I had a dog in my yard just had puppies," Powell told local NBC 6 News. "Do not step in my yard because she is protecting her babies and he got out anyway and so when she came from up under the house, he shot her, twice."

Powell, devastated by the inexplicable turn of events that led to the untimely death of Coco, told NBC 6 the unnamed officer had responded to a call further down the street when he stopped to ask about refuse in a lot near her property.

Although she doesn't own the lot where the officer spotted the trash, Powell told the NBC 6 she cleans it on occasion because of its proximity to her home — but she suspects the errant dog-killing officer was only looking for trouble where none existed.

"What reason you have to stop at 8:15 behind some trash?" Powell said of the cop. "The lot doesn't even belong to me. Why did you stop here? That means you were picking."

World Bank study: ISIS recruits 'significantly more educated' than average countrymen

A vast proportion of ISIS recruits are "far from being uneducated or illiterate," the World Bank has found in a study of why people join terrorist groups. The report says some of the recruits tend to be even better educated than their average countrymen.

The World Bank-sponsored report titled 'Economic and Social Inclusion to Prevent Violent Extremism' states that, "sixty-nine percent of [Islamic State] recruits report at least a secondary education. Only fifteen percent left school before high school and less than two percent are illiterate," debunking a common myth about the jihadists.

The study, aimed at determining the social and economic reasons behind people's decisions to join Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL), was based on data on 3,803 foreign recruits. The records came from a "leaked cache of the organization's [IS] personnel records," as well as nationally representative opinion surveys, such as Gallup World Poll and World Values Survey. These provided information on the recruits' country of residence, citizenship, age, education status, previous jihadist experience and religious knowledge.

Two car bombs went off in the Turkish capital, Ankara, after unidentified terrorists blew themselves up in response to calls by police for them to surrender, local media report.

According to Ankara's governor, Ercan Topaca, security forces launched the operation against the militants on Saturday morning at a farm some 30 kilometers (18 miles) from the capital on a tip-off from Diyarbakir, the main city in mostly-Kurdish southeastern Turkey. He confirmed there were at least two suspects, one of them a female. They were both identified.

Despicable, yet unsurprising: Georgia cops who tasered handcuffed man to death won't be charged

American police have once against demonstrated that their agenda is not to protect and serve, but to dominate and control by any means necessary and remove themselves from any reasonable means of accountability. On November 20th, sheriff deputies in Coweta County, Georgia were summoned to help subdue a man having a psychotic breakdown tasered him to death. This week, the Coweta district attorney's office announced their decision to not press charges against the officers responsible.

According to the Newnan Times, Monday, Coweta Circuit District Attorney Pete Skandalakis announced that he would not be seeking charges against Deputies Josh Sepanski and Sam Smith and Elliot.

One of the family's attorneys, Chris Stewart, called it "one of the most horrible decisions" he had ever seen a district attorney make.

The Justice Department has yet to make their decision, but it is unlikely that they will pursue charges as they have been waiting to see how the DA responded.

"We've all been fooled. Both locally and nationwide," he said.

What really matters. as the Times reports, is the last few minutes of the encounter "where he was murdered and tortured," Stewart said.

After months of keeping the video from the body cameras on the police officers under wraps, it was finally released in May to the NY Times.

Police State: Massachusetts police use military helicopter, several vehicles, and a handful of troopers to seize one cannabis plant from 81yo arthritis patient

Massachusetts State Police and the National Guard sent a helicopter, several vehicles and a handful of troopers to an elderly woman's house to chop down one cannabis plant and haul it away in a pickup truck.

Margaret Holcomb, 81, grew a single marijuana plant in her garden, which she used to ease her glaucoma and arthritis ailments, The Washington Post reported.

She hadn't attempted to obtain a medical marijuana card due to the difficulty of getting a doctor to sign off on it, she told The Daily Hampshire Gazette. She said traveling to the dispensary in the next town and paying for marijuana grown by someone else would be too costly.

The behavior of the police was questionable in other ways, Holcomb's son, Tim, told the Gazette. He said he was told that as long as he did not demand that a warrant be provided to enter the property or otherwise escalate the situation, authorities would file no criminal charges.


Comment: He was told not to demand a warrant, because the officers likely didn't have one and they were trying to avoid the legal ramifications of their unlawful behavior.


He believes their actions constituted an "unlawful surveillance and illegal search and seizure."
