[CHICAGO.CBSLOCAL] Fifteen juveniles and two adults were tossed in the calaboose Book 'im, Tyrone! and charged with Reckless Conduct-- a misdemeanor.
Community activist, Andrew Holmes witnessed some of the problems, while shopping with his family.
"You had a group of teens, close to maybe 500. They assaulted a reliably Democrat Chicago, aka The Windy City or Mobtown ... home of Al Capone, a succession of Daleys, Barak Obama, and Tiny Dancer Rahm Emmanuel,... police officer that was mounted on a horse and all of a sudden they assaulted a citizen walking the streets, just a normal citizen shopping and enjoying the weather," said Holmes.
Later that night, a man was attacked around 10:45 p.m. while walking near Chicago and Dearborn. Sources tell us he was jumped and punched in the face by a group of teens. He was taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital.
In a separate incident, a group of women say they were attacked by a mob of girls on the CTA Red Line. The women reported a robbery once they got off the train at the State and Monroe station. Eleven females were arrested--10 juveniles and one adult--and charged with battery. Two of the teens were charged with strong- armed robbery. This was much worse than it has been reported in the local news. These teens had planned this well in advance.

It was for this that "a whiff of grape" was invented. And handguns with multiple magazines.
On the other hand, apparently the three American cities losing the most in the current troubled economy are New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago. This kind of thing will do much to move Chi-town up in the rankings, and on dear, dear Rahm Emanuel's watch, too.

500, is not a group. Teens equals Blacks. Why won't they say it? You don't see this happening in Texas, for a reason.
Free Redneck Jim.
No.

He can take his punishment like a man as others have done, Secret Asian Man. I speak as an experienced motherr when I tell you there are times when people demand to be punished, and will not stop until that demand is satisfied. Redneck Jim had been working up to this for weeks; even I did not argue against it.

Yes, we live in a nation run by people who won't face facts and wonder why things don't occur [like economic recovery] when they pursue policies based upon those self serving lies. This is a by-product of making the government a substitute for daddy, yet daddy government lacks the spine to apply the evolutionary cultural pain necessary to nip these Lords of the Flies in their adolescent bud. Guess the hand wringing will continue till they're all armed and focused to chase the ineffectual state justice agents out of their domain.
Of course had this been a Tea Party event, it would be blazing across the Ministry of Truth premiere "Mouth of Sauron" networks, all day, all night.

Yep all of the democratic liberal paradises are in the toilet. New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, this would be happening in SFO if the poor could afford to live there.
This is what happens when you put people on a plantation as a captive constituency, enslaved with entitlements, housing, health care, food stamps, and cell phones. The truly needy don't get the help they need...try being WHITE and going to a HHS office in California and get food stamps.
Yep, they destroy the nuclear family among the blacks with their screwy welfare laws and this is what they get.
No one wants to call it what it is. They talk about unachievement by minorities and come up with programs to fix it, when what they need to do is disband the NEA and the State Teachers Unions, allow principals to beat butts again and start throwing parents in jail when their kids committ a violent crime. The second some of these families look at county jail because junior was involved in a gang land shooting, the shootings will stop.
Make parents be parents, and as Stockman says, get the GOvernment out of everything.

[Ynet] Cairo media, Sinai resort owners express both excitement and fear at expected waves of tourist from Islamic Theocratic Republic after commercial flights between two countries resume; holy mans fear that Iranians will spread Shiite belief
More than 50 Iranian heavily-armed tourists visited sites in southern Egypt on Sunday amid tight security as part of a bilateral tourism promotion deal that has generated some controversy.
The tourists, who according to a security official arrived on some of the first commercial flights between the two countries in three decades, will be restricted in their movement following objections from some ultraconservative Sunni Moslems to receiving visitors from Shiite Iran.
As the first commercial flight between Egypt and Iran in 34 years took off on Saturday, Egyptian media expressed ambivalence toward the normalizing of ties with the Islamic Theocratic Republic.
In a piece by Cairo's Al-Aharam newspaper, it was written that the Egyptians were both expecting Iranian tourism and afraid of its ramifications, fearing it might spread the Shiite belief across Egypt.
As in other areas, tourism in Egypt has suffered a halt since the 2011 revolution. Riots, road accidents and sexual assaults security irregularities all caused tourists to steer clear of the revolutionized country, and left hotels and vacation spots impoverished. Biting the hands that fed them...
Those whose livelihood depends on tourism thus await the Iranian groups, in hopes that they could catalyze the end of the economic crisis.
Ali Khalil, the owner of a Red Sea resort, said: "I welcome the arrival of Iranian tourists to the region as well the arrival of tourists from anywhere else." "Especially if they have dollars. Swiss francs are even better. Don't bring Euros."
"The tourist is genuinely different from the politician, the holy man or the bad turban. We must look at the Iranian tourist as we do at all the other tourists that arrive here for pleasure or for cultural pursuits."
As for the fear that Iranians might spread Shiite belief across the country, Khalil added: "We have Israeli and Buddhist tourists coming to Sinai; it doesn't mean they spread Buddhism in Egypt." You sir are far too sensible to live in Egypt... However, there's always another opinion that can be found, no matter how obscure... Ali Reza, the owner of a different resort, insisted that "no one can deny the fact that Iranians are fighting to spread the Shia while we fight to maintain our Sunni identity."
Though reserved, Reza also welcomed the arrival of the tourists.
Salem Saleh, the director of Sharm el-Sheikh's Tourism Authority, noted that since there were no Shiite mosques in his region, he saw no reason to be apprehensive about religious coercion. "The city is not meant to draw religious tourism, which makes the spreading of Shia impossible," he said.

It is a photoshop that was going round after 9/11, supposedly taken on an observation deck in NY as the first airplane sped toward the Twin Towers, Abu Uluque. Fred has it titled "Tourist".
[Libya Herald] The Grand Mufti, Sheikh Sadeq Al-Ghariani, has called on the government to ban Libyan women from marrying foreigners.
Ghariani said in a letter to the Minister of Social Affairs, Kamila Khamis Al-Mazini, leaked on Facebook, that Libyan women should not even be allowed to marry foreign Mohammedans.
The move came after the Grand Mufti apparently received several complaints from Libyan citizens about some Syrian Shiites and Druze are taking advantage of the chaotic state of the country's administration to marry Libyan women.
A favorite tactic of al-Qaeda was to marry their foreign hard boyz to local women...
Not to mention that the Druze are outright heretics, not even so proper Muslims as those Shiites.
An official from Ghariani's Dar Al-Ifta office has been quoted by Benghazi newspaper Qurina (Cyrene) claiming that a number of Turks had contracted marriages with Libyan women in Cyrenaica and then disappeared back home.
The official said that any decision on the matter would have to come form the government not the Fatwa office. As a result it was felt that Libya women should not be allowed to marry any foreigner until the situation had improved.
When Ghariani's letter appeared on Facebook there was an outcry on social media networks among Libyan human rights ...which are often intentionally defined so widely as to be meaningless... activists.
When contacted by the Libya Herald, the Ministry of Social Affairs declined to comment.

When Ghariani's letter appeared on Facebook there was an outcry on social media networks among Libyan human rights activists.
[Libya Herald] Reminded by the press that the 17th February Revolution war partially in demand for better economic conditions too and what had his government done in this regard, Zeidan replied at today's presser that his government wanted to improve living standards.
However, some men learn by reading. A few learn by observation. The rest have to pee on the electric fence for themselves... he added that he wanted Libyans to improve their abilities, capabilities and performance. Civil servants should turn up to work and should perform, he pleaded. Libyans should earn their income through the sweat of their forehead he said, coining a Libyan idiom, and not just hoping or expecting a government salary. A revolutionary thought in the Arabic world, for which he must be killed...
He revealed that at today's cabinet meeting they had discussed the budget including the issue of substituting subsidies goods for targeted cash subsidies. In this vain, he expected that the new National ID number will help in the equitable distribution of wealth and in cutting out duplication of names.
There will be visible change soon he promised and that the government is not dragging its feet. It was held back by process and procedures, he declared.
Although the budget had been legally passed a few weeks ago, in reality it had only been received today, Zeidan added. It will be distributed in the coming days and as a result there will begin the reactivation of projects including hospitals, schools, as well as old and new projects.

I've witnessed similar "pleadings" which, with a few exceptions, have generally produced little.
[An Nahar] The Central African Republic's Prime Minister Nicolas Tiangaye on Sunday named his new post-coup government mostly made up of rebels and members of the former opposition after being brought back by self-proclaimed president Michel Djotodia, under a decree read on national radio.
The 34-member cabinet includes nine ministers from the rebel Seleka coalition that has been in power for a week, eight from the former opposition and one close to ex-president Francois Bozize. The other 16 are largely unknown.

Gazprom attempted an eleventh-hour white knight proposal that would have recapitalized Cyprus teetering banking system and allowed depositors to remain whole, but would have grabbed the natural-gas rights of the island in return.
Ferdinand Maximilian Joseph to the white courtesy phone.
You know if you're going to be screwed by the EUcrats, you can sell your soul to another authoritarian who's been looking for -
- warm water anchorage for its fleet in the Med now that its other port of call in Syria is not looking good.
- making good on local oil and gas deposits that can be refined into vital fuel for that fleet.
- be allowed to conduct local government [ie Venezuela and Cuba] and some regional politics, particularly if it rubs Euros the wrong way, but leave the important international stuff to Big Brother.

It also appears to be a selling point that Russia will back the leaders even if they lay fire on their citizens. We may sneer at that but teetering government officials may find that a feature or selling point.
#3
Of course the Cypriot president won't care about the big depositors and won't make a deal with the Russians. As we predicted here at the Burg, it is now being reported that he and his family go their money out of the Cypriot banks days before the collapse.
So what does he care what happens to the depositors? He got his...

A eunuch running for constituency NA-151, Haji Saeed Nargis, has announced to launch an election campaign on cycles and motorcyle-rickshaws. Talking to the media at district courts after submitting nomination papers, Nargis said current politicians were facing charges of corruption but they had no allegations. She said that eunuchs were joining politics to serve the masses. President Tahafaz-e-She Male, Shahana Shani said the process of change in the system had started from Multan.
The drug works by blocking a protein called CD47 that is essentially a "do not eat" signal to the body's immune system, according to Science Magazine
With this observation in mind, the researchers built an antibody that blocked cancer's CD47 so that the body's immune system attacked the dangerous cells.
So far, researchers have used the antibody in mice with human breast, ovary, colon, bladder, brain, liver and prostate tumors transplanted into them. In each of the cases the antibody forced the mice's immune system to kill the cancer cells.

[Straits Times] Communal conflict in Myanmar "tarnished" the country's world image, President Thein Sein said on Sunday, in the wake of violence targeting Mohammedans that saw dozens killed and sparked international concern.
A wave of violence that began on March 20 saw mosques and homes burned in several towns in central Myanmar, leaving at least 43 dead and prompting the government to impose emergency rule and curfews in some areas.
"Some members of the public have killed and committed arson in the spirit of anger rather than be governed by the law and their actions have tarnished the country's image on the world stage," said Mr Thein Sein in a radio address late on Sunday.
The former general added that such incidents would "badly harm the country's dignity" with the international community and warned that Myanmar's fledgling democratic transition could be destabilised by the communal fighting.

Speaking of images ...

Myanmar should be careful due to ...
* BHARAT RAKSHAK > VIDEO: ISLAMISTS WANT TO START SUICIDE ATTACKS, INSURGENCY IN INDIA.
Indjuh = future INDORABIA? taint that far away.

Myanmar?
ARTIC = Come the Year 2050 = mid-century, CC may create up to 250.0Milyuhn de facto Refugees around the World, of which 20-30.0Milyuhn could be in Bangladesh.
Prob for neighboring Myanmar is that Bangla is heavily low-lying hence is prone to major CC-caused/induced enviro + land changes, which in turn makes not-low-lying Myanmar that more attractive to Bangla + other ethnic refugees trying to escape from CC.
Workers in the southwestern Philippines have removed the last major part of a US Navy minesweeper from a protected coral reef where it ran aground in January.
A crane lifted the 250-ton stern of the dismantled USS Guardian on Saturday from the reef, where it accidentally got stuck Jan. 17, officials said. The reef, designated a World Heritage site by UNESCO, the United Nations cultural arm, is located in the Tubbataha National Marine Park in the Sulu Sea, about 644 kilometers (400 miles) southwest of Manila.
The doomed ships parts will be transported to a Navy facility in Sasebo, Japan, to determine which ones can be reused and which will be junked, Philippine coast guard Commodore Enrico Efren Evangelista said.
Workers were cleaning debris at the site, where American and Filipino experts this week will begin a final assessment of the reef damage, to be paid for by Washington. An initial estimate showed about 4,000 square meters (4,780 square yards) of coral reef was damaged by the ship grounding, according to Tubbataha Reef park superintendent Angelique Songco.
The ships removal was done carefully and its unlikely the initial damage estimate will change significantly, Songco said. She said the fine would be about 24,000 pesos ($600) per square meter, so the U.S. could be facing a fine of more than $2 million. Songco said her agency did not have plans to pursue charges against U.S. authorities over the incident.
The Navy and the U.S. ambassador to Manila, Harry K. Thomas, have both apologized for the grounding and promised to cooperate with Americas longtime Asian ally. A separate U.S. government investigation on the cause of the grounding has not yet been completed, the embassy said.
The Guardian was en route to Indonesia after making a rest and refueling stop in Subic Bay, a former American naval base west of Manila, when it ran aground before dawn Jan. 17. It strayed more than 4.8 kilometers (3 miles) into an offshore area off-limits to navigation before hitting the reef, Songco said.

Needed that vessel, yes. "Workers in the southwestern Philippines have removed"

Delivered to someone's account in the Cayman Islands cause their Cyprus account is frozen at the moment. What? So you expect the money will magically make all the coral come back? That it'll be spent on anything in the Park? This is the Philippines which is like a large Detroit, but with real natural resources.

I thought I read somewhere that the GPS system had something like a 7nm error and that the grounding occurred before the next scheduled sunsighting by the Navigator? If that was so, does the CO get something of a pass?

If I remember correctly, the navy charts for this region were incorrect. The skipper, probably took the heat for this, but the chartman in the basement of some big building in Norfolk who is the responsible party.

Tom-Tom tried to get me to exit from a main highway into a shopping center that I know has no back exit (just woods), supposedly in order to get me home.
Luckily it was in town and knew my way around - I was just trying to get used to having the GPS talking to me. I chose to stay on the main highway. (If I hadn't been so tired, I would have followed the instructions just out of idle curiosity.)
While GPS is convenient, I prefer to look at a map before leaving the house, so I'll know if something doesn't seem right with the GPS instructions. There have been several instances when it tried to take me 6 ways around Robin Hood's barn.
