As CBS2’s Meg Baker reported, Nafee Cotman, 18, was in taken custody earlier Friday. Taquan Harris, 22, who had been the subject of a manhunt, was located and arrested in Irvington Friday afternoon, CBS2’s Brian Conybeare reported.

Both face murder, burglary and weapons charges, authorities said.

3 teens arrested after 15-year-old punches 60-year-old, knocking him unconscious in the road
[PIX11] DEER PARK, N.Y. -- Police have incarcerated
Keep yer hands where we can see 'em, if yez please!
three teens in connection to two unprovoked punching attacks in Long Island.

On Wednesday at 12:14, a 15-year-old from North Babylon punched an 18-year-old without provocation, knocking him to the ground at Taco Bell at 1937 Deer Park Avenue, Suffolk County Police said.

Less than an hour later, the same 15-year-old was walking on the sidewalk of Deer Park Avenue. The teen approached a 60-year-old man from behind, punched him in the face, causing him to fall to the ground, unconscious, inches away from oncoming traffic, police said.

The teen fled in a car with Jean Jiminez, 16, and Adonis Byers, 16, both of Deer Park.

Witnesses stopped to help the victim and called 911. The victim was taken to Good Samaritan Hospital Medical Center by Deer Park Rescue to treat multiple facial fractures.

Jiminez and Byers, 16, were both arrested on Thursday and charged with reckless endangerment and assault. They were arraigned in Central Islip Friday. The 15-year-old, who is now 16, was arrested Friday and charged with reckless endangerment and assault. He was charged as a juvenile and will be arraigned on May 25.
Would I be a bad person if I suggested that the 15 year old should, just once, get smacked in the face good and hard so that he understands just what it is he's doing?

Fred's highlight is Post-It Note yellow, Warthog. It's Dr. Steve who is salmon (not pink, however pink it might look on your screen). ;-)

And it won't be effective unless they break his jaw doing it; noses are too easily repaired, and don't ache when the weather changes, as a reminder ever after.

#5  TW, one bit of advice I gleaned many years ago from a Travis McGee story......Only hit the soft parts with your fist, for the hard parts use an implement.

#6  These people convicted of crimes likes this should be punished in public. A sledgehammer to the groin would be sufficient. If they then survive the required 12 hours of laying there screaming as a prime of example of what happens to feral vermin, then they can have their obamacare. If they die, too bad.

I have nearly had to draw my pistol twice in the past year, my tolerance for this kind of thing is low.

Economy
Jamba Juice will move headquarters from Bay Area to Texas
[LATIMES] More than 25 years after the first Jamba Juice shop opened in San Luis Obispo, the owner of the smoothie company announced plans to move its headquarters from Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, to Texas within eight months.
Texas gets more Democrats. I'll bet they're thrilled.
California loses tax revenue. I'll bet they're equally thrilled.
Tax revenues and jobs. But that's why there's welfare, so the workers have nothing to complain about.
Jamba Inc. will close its Emeryville, Calif., office and establish a new corporate home in Frisco, Texas, about 30 miles north of Dallas. In a statement, Chief Executive David Pace said Jamba was looking for places that had "competitive operating costs," access to "skilled restaurant talent" and an "attractive cost of living," along with a central location for further expansion.

"The state of Texas meets all of these criteria and Frisco is a community committed to healthy living that aligns closely with our overall mission," Pace said.

The company's lease in Emeryville is set to expire at the end of the year.

#3  Just leave your goddam stupid proregressive political ideas in the state you helped make the hell-hole it is today, Mr. Pace.

Don't f**k up another state.

#4  Methinks they will be hiring locals to flesh out the corporate staff.

Remember, a liberal Texan is about three degrees to the right of Mike Savage...and carries a concealed weapon

Israel-Palestine-Jordan
No holds are barred as Israel battles for a one billion dollar defense deal
IN EARLY April, the Defense Ministry published last year’s figures for weapon sales, which totaled $5.7 billion, almost the same as in 2014. This keeps Israel among the top 10 military exporters in the world even though arms sales comprise just six percent of its annual exports of goods and services.

Nearly 40 percent of annual weapons exports are to Asia, in particular India, which is Israel’s second-largest single market after the US.

Defense Ministry officials hope, however, that after the two years of relative stagnation in weapons sales, the figures will rise in 2016. In 2012 sales reached $7.4 billion.

This hope is based on two recent major developments in India and Poland.

U Albany expels students indicted in hate crime hoax
h/t Instapundit
The University at Albany has expelled two black female students and suspended a third after they were indicted for allegedly lying about being victims of a hate crime.

Ariel Agudio and Asha Burwell have been dismissed from the university and Alexis Briggs has been suspended for two years, according to an email sent to the school community Thursday by President Robert J. Jones

#3  Darth,

You're right - but I'm betting on a quiet push to let the little snowflakes back in once things have died down and they've 'learned their lesson'. After all, it wasn't THEIR fault they felt so oppressed that they made such an understandable mistake in judgement like this.

More likely they'll end up at Columbia.
