-Lurid Crime Tales-
Las Vegas security guard unheard from after visit to urgent-care clinic
[FoxNews] Mystery surrounds whereabouts of Mandalay Bay security guard

Las Vegas guard Jesus Campos vanished after visiting urgent-care clinic.

The Mandalay Bay security guard who disappeared last week moments before he was scheduled to break his silence in television interviews has not been heard from since he went to a walk-in health clinic, his union president said.

David Hickey of the Security, Police, and Fire Professionals of America (SPFPA) told reporters Friday that he got a text the night before saying Jesus Campos was taken to a UMC Quick Care facility, though he did not specify where or whom the text came from.

A spokesperson at the UMC Quick Care, which has eight locations throughout the Las Vegas area, told Fox News on Monday that they had "heard nothing" about Campos visiting them.

Multiple requests from Fox News for SPFPA to comment on the matter were not returned Monday.

Hickey said he was meeting with MGM officials Thursday afternoon in the hours before Campos’ scheduled television appearances, including one with Fox News.

"For the past four days he's been preparing ... we had a meeting with MGM officials, and after that meeting was over, we talked about the interviews, we went to a private area, and when we came out, Mr. Campos was gone," Hickey told reporters, according to Fox 5 Las Vegas.

Hickey said Campos had requested to go public and wanted to tell his story and move on from the Oct. 1 shooting investigation. Police say he was shot just before the crazed gunman killed 58 at music festival on the Las Vegas Strip ‐ though the sequence of events is still in dispute.

Campos was last photographed in public on Oct. 10, accepting an "SPFPA Hero Award" for bravery in the line of duty, while dining with Hickey and others at a high-end Vegas steakhouse. But soon afterward, investigators said that the security guard was shot before the massacre, raising questions about whether the hotel did enough to prevent the bloodshed.

Hickey has said that before he vanished, Campus was looking forward to telling his side of the story.

"Right now I'm just concerned where my member is, and what his condition is. It's highly unusual," Hickey said Friday. "I'm hoping everything is OK with him and I'm sure MGM or the union will let (media) know when we hear something," he said.

Now I'm wondering if Jesus Campos might be the mysterious second person everybody (mostly conspiracy theorists) seems to be talking about?

#1  Seen similar ideas. Or he was involved somehow and split. Or had information that certain people didn't want out there.

#2  My gut instinct suggests he's illegal or has illegals staying in his home and wanted to avoid all the attention. Probably watched MSNBC and thought Trump might eat him or something. Sort of like Joe Dirt spilling the beans by accident and exposing Christopher Walken.

#6  I am in that group who has strong suspicion that there is much more to this story, and it is possible that Campos is a part of that. But the lack of formal LE effort to find him or support the idea that he is missing says that they know where he is. My guess is that the interviews were stopped by panicked attorneys who see the wave of lawsuit coming and don't want his testimony out there before "trial prep". He is sequestered somewhere and very comfortable I suspect.

Woman, 64, among 8 dead, 11 wounded in weekend gun violence
[CHICAGO.SUNTIMES] Eight people were killed, including a 64-year-old woman who was struck by a stray bullet, and at least 11 other people were maimed in shootings across reliably Democrat Chicago, aka The Windy City or Mobtown
... home of Al Capone, a succession of Daleys, Barak Obama, and Rahm Emmanuel,...
since Friday evening.

The 64-year-old woman, identified as Cynthia Trevillion, was killed when a stray bullet struck her about 6:30 p.m. Friday in the Rogers Park neighborhood on the North Side, according to Chicago Police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office.

Trevillion, a "beloved" math teacher at Chicago Waldorf School, was standing on the sidewalk near her home in the 6900 block of North Glenwood when shots were fired from a dark-colored SUV. She was struck in her head and taken to Saint Francis Hospital in Evanston, where she was pronounced dead.
He's dead, Jim!
less than an hour later, authorities said. She wasn’t believed to be the target of the shooting.

The weekend’s latest fatal shooting happened about 12:30 p.m. Sunday in the South Side Gresham neighborhood. Reno D. Wooldridge, 26, suffered gunshot wounds to the chest and arm in the 8300 block of South Justine, authorities said. Wooldridge, who lived on the same block, was taken to Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, where he died less than an hour later. Circumstances surrounding the shooting were not known as Area South detectives conducted a homicide investigation.

Baboon burglars: Tribe of monkeys loot a fruit truck in Algeria
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] In a rare incident, a group of wild monkeys attacked one of the cars loaded with fruit bags in Algeria.

The monkeys pounced on the truck and took the fruit bags and ate their contents. The chaotic scene led to the road’s closure.

A video clip posted social media showed the incident taking place on a highway connecting the eastern cities of Bejaia and Jijel.

The cities of Bejaia and Jijel are one of the most common areas where wild monkeys live because of the presence of dense forests.

These cities receive annually thousands of tourists who come to see monkeys nearby.

Egyptian attacker arrested for scarring female victim in ‘revenge attack’
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] A 38-year-old sexual harasser carried out a Dire Revenge attack on his former female victim this weekend in Cairo by scarring her face using a "cutter," local media reports have said.

The shocking harassment story of Somaya Tarek Obeid sent waves across the Egyptian society two years ago when a stranger physically assaulted her at a Cairo mall, receiving a two-year imprisonment as a result.

But upon his release, the harasser reportedly followed Obeid as she walked down a street in an upscale Cairo district this weekend, vowing to take Dire Revenge.

An official medical report said 25-year-old Obeid was admitted to the hospital with a 20 cm long facial wound caused by a white weapon.

The victim recounted that she was present at the area of Korba when she was attacked by her the same man who harassed her two years ago at the mall.

The attacker is currently under police arrest and investigations are underway.

Obeid accuses the harasser of attempting to kill her, saying his intention was to cut through her neck.

Obeid topped Egyptian headlines two years ago when the same man was caught on camera slapping her twice in a mall. The incident caused lots of controversy at the time and landed him two years in jail. She is known in Egyptian media as the "mall girl".

POTUS dismantles Soetoro's ‘imperial' presidency, rescinds dubious orders
[Wash Times] Democrats are attacking President Trump for "dismantling" President Obama’s legacy on everything from Obamacare subsidies to immigration amnesty, but nobody knew better than Mr. Obama.

At a Clinton campaign rally in Cleveland in October 2016, a few weeks before Election Day, Mr. Obama tried to fire up Democratic voters with a plea that his legacy was hanging in the balance on issues such as climate change and health care.

“I’m here to tell you that all that progress goes out the window if we don’t make the right choice right now,” Mr. Obama said at the time. “Donald Trump’s closing argument is ‘What do you have to lose?’ The answer is: Everything. All the progress we’ve made right now is on the ballot.”

Among the actions Mr. Trump has taken since Jan. 20 are pulling the U.S. out of the Paris climate agreement (a U.N. accord never ratified by Congress), revoking deportation amnesty for young illegal immigrants called “Dreamers” (to Republicans’ complaints that he was exceeding his authority, Mr. Obama dared lawmakers: “Pass a bill”), decertifying the Iran nuclear deal (and requesting more congressional input), ending government subsidy payments to insurance companies under Obamacare (never approved by Congress), and rolling back about 800 other Obama-era government regulations on a broad front, including portions of the 2010 Dodd-Frank financial regulatory law.

Asked at an impromptu news conference Monday if there were any Obama policies he would like to keep, Mr. Trump replied, “Not too many, I must say. It’s the opposite side of the spectrum.

PML-N MPA’s son manhandles THQ hospital medical superintendent
[DAWN] NAROWAL: The son of a PML-N MPA and his lover companions allegedly manhandled the medical superintendent (MS) of Shakargarh Tehsil Headquarters (THQ) Hospital in presence of the police for not signing purchase slip for medicines.

Riazuddin, son of Ghyasuddin, the MPA from PP-133 Shakargarh, went to THQ Hospital to get medicines for a woman patient. The medicines were not available at the hospital and he asked MS Dr Muhammad Tariq to give him a purchase slip to get medicine.

The MS refused to do so as the medicines were costly. At this, the MS and Riazuddin exchanged harsh words and started quarreling with each other. However,
nothing needs reforming like other people's bad habits...
later on orders of Narowal district health authority’s chief executive officer, Dr Tariq issued the purchase slip to Riazuddin and he went away.

Shakargarh police also reached the hospital. Meanwhile,
...back at the abandoned silver mine, the water was up to Jack's neck and still rising. And then he smelled the smoke...
Riazuddin again came back to the MS’s office with his lover companions and beat him up in presence of the police. Riaz and his lover companions also manhandled a news hound of a news channel who wanted to get footage of the incident.

Shakargarh City Police Station has started the paperwork but haven't done much else against Riazuddin on complaint of Dr Tariq.

Narowal District Health Authority’s CEO Dr Khalid Javed condemned the incident, saying an inquiry would be held into the incident and the responsible persons would be brought to justice.

Punjab govt dismisses advocate who slapped police official outside court
[DAWN] The Punjab
1.) Little Orphan Annie's bodyguard
2.) A province of Pakistain ruled by one of the Sharif brothers
3.) A province of India. It is majority (60 percent) Sikh and Hindoo (37 percent), which means it has relatively few Moslem riots....

government on Monday dismissed Additional Advocate General Khawar Ikram Bhatti for reportedly slapping a police officer outside an accountability court in Islamabad, DawnNews reported.

A notification issued by Punjab Law Secretary Dr Syed Abul Hassan Najmi said that "the competent authority... [has] dispensed with the services of [Bhatti] with immediate effect".

Earlier, Justice Ebadur Rehman Lodhi refused to let Bhatti appear before the Lahore High Court, saying that "it did not suit state lawyers to assault a police officer".

Lodhi also accused Bhatti of being politically motivated and said that a state lawyer should serve the state instead of a political party.

On Saturday, a group of lawyers associated with the PML-N had forcibly tried to enter an accountability court, where former premier's daughter Maryam Nawaz and her husband Muhammad Safdar had appeared for the hearing of a corruption case against them.

On being stopped by the coppers posted outside the court, the lawyers assaulted the official.

Later that day, a case against the group of lawyers was registered after Inspector Shakeel Ahmed of the Diplomatic Protection Department filed a complaint regarding the incident.

Teenage girl stabbed by Karachi Ripper
[DAWN] A teenage girl was allegedly stabbed with a knife by a motor-bike rider in the Federal B. Area of Bloody Karachi
...formerly the capital of Pakistain, now merely its most important port and financial center. It is among the largest cities in the world, with a population of 18 million, most of whom hate each other and many of whom are armed and dangerous...
, police said on Monday night.

According to the senior superintendent of police (SSP) Central, Irfan Ali Baloch, the girl aged around 14-15 years was travelling on a cycle of violence with her brother when she was attacked near Askari Imambargah
...since Pakistain is very religiously correct, Shia Moslems can't call their houses of worship 'mosques,' which are reserved for Sunnis. It's not clear if imambargahs are used for explosives storage like mosques are...
. The suspect fled after stabbing her in the back, Baloch said.

She has sustained injuries from the attack, he added. "The nature of the weapon used in the attack was not clear," said the SSP.

Another official, Gulberg superintendent of police (SP) Abdullah Memon told Dawn that the police was informed of the incident by the girl's relatives after she was taken to a private hospital for treatment.

Memon said that he was on his way to the office and the scene of the crime to ascertain exact nature of the injury and the weapon used in the incident.

13 cases of 'knife attacks’ were reported to the police from September 25 to October 5 in Gulistan-e-Jauhar and Gulshan-e-Iqbal area of the city by a ’lone attacker riding a motorbike’.

The city police on Sunday claimed to have tossed in the slammer
You have the right to remain silent...
a purported prime suspect, Waseem from Sahiwal with help of their counterparts there.

However,
some men learn by reading. A few learn by observation. The rest have to pee on the electric fence for themselves...
the held suspect could not be brought to Karachi for further legal action as Punjab
1.) Little Orphan Annie's bodyguard
2.) A province of Pakistain ruled by one of the Sharif brothers
3.) A province of India. It is majority (60 percent) Sikh and Hindoo (37 percent), which means it has relatively few Moslem riots....

police told their counterparts in Sindh that "they wanted to interrogate him for recent attacks on women in Sahiwal, Rawalpindi and recent Lahore first ".

Home Front: Culture Wars
Cornell Black Students group apologizes for complaining about African and Caribbean students
[LI] Selected excerpt:
Most interesting, and perhaps reflecting a split in the black student community, the group demands specific extra help for non-immigrant blacks:

"We demand that Cornell Admissions to come up with a plan to actively increase the presence of underrepresented Black students on this campus. We define underrepresented Black students as Black Americans who have several generations (more than two) in this country.

The Black student population at Cornell disproportionately represents international or first-generation African or Caribbean students. While these students have a right to flourish at Cornell, there is a lack of investment in Black students whose families were affected directly by the African Holocaust in America. Cornell must work to actively support students whose families have been impacted for generations by white supremacy and American fascism."

Air Force Punishes Colonel Who Refused to Affirm Gaystopo Marriage
[Townhall] The Air Force has punished a highly-decorated and respected colonel after he refused to publicly affirm the same-sex spouse of a retiring subordinate.

Col. Leland Bohannon, who was on the verge of being promoted to a one-star general, was suspended from command and orders were handed down recommending he not be promoted.

"His career is likely over and he will likely have to retire as a colonel instead of as a general," First Liberty Institute attorney Michael Berry told the Todd Starnes Show.

First Liberty Institute, one of the nation’s most prominent religious liberty law firms, is representing the distinguished military officer.

"This sends a clear message - if you do not have the politically correct viewpoint, you are not welcome in the military," Berry said. "The military is no longer a place of diversity and inclusion if you are a person who holds to a traditional belief on marriage."

Col. Bohannon has flown combat missions in Iraq and Afghanistan and he is the recipient of the Bronze Star, the Defense Meritorious Service Medal and the Air Medal.

Last May the colonel declined to sign a certificate of spouse appreciation for a retiring master sergeant’s same-sex spouse.

President Trump Doesn't Expect Ginsburg And Sotomayor To Make It Through His First Term
[Daily Caller] President Donald Trump expects to nominate a total of four Supreme Court justices, claiming that three seats will likely become vacant during his first term, anonymous sources told Mike Allen of Axios.

Trump expects to fill the seats of Justices Anthony Kennedy, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and Sonia Sotomayor in addition to nominating Neil Gorsuch, who Trump nominated to fill former Justice Antonin Scalia’s seat earlier this year. Scalia died in 2016, well before Trump took office.
