[Regnum] Iranian resident Koltsum Akbari, who confessed to killing 11 of her husbands, is suspected of killing several more men. This is reported by Sky New Sarabia. Goodness! I have trouble enough keeping track of just the one.
Akbari was arrested in September 2023 on suspicion of involvement in the death of her 82-year-old husband. During interrogation, she admitted that she killed not only him, but also 10 other men who had also been her husbands.
Iranian daily Haft Sobh found out that Akbari was officially married 19 times. In addition, she had extramarital affairs with 18 men.
She chose older, wealthy men who were attracted to her outward caring nature. But the marriage always ended in the man's death.
According to the Asr-e Iran newspaper, Akbari slipped drugs to her husbands that gradually led to their death. She added poison to diabetes medication, drinks or food, gradually increasing the dosage. When another victim became ill, she went with him to the hospital. The man was saved, doctors considered him ill. When he returned home, the wife increased the dose of poison, the man died, and his death was already perceived as natural.
For a long time, the woman remained above suspicion. However, the mysterious circumstances of her 82-year-old husband's death two years ago prompted his sons to file a formal complaint with the authorities, which launched a comprehensive investigation into the case.
During the trial, the families of the four victims demanded retribution. The defendant tried to evade the charges. After the court showed a video recording of Akbari reenacting the crime, she admitted the veracity of her previous confessions.
The lawyer asked the court to conduct a psychological examination. The prosecution did not agree. The prosecutor insists that Akbari carefully prepared the crimes: they were committed using skillfully selected drugs. This indicates deliberate criminal behavior, and not mental illness, the prosecutors believe.
According to Haft Sobh, the number of victims could reach 45, including heirs and blood relatives of the victims. Akbari's case has been transferred to the Second Criminal Court of Iran.
[REDSTATE] The woman who was brutally beaten in downtown Cincinnati by a mob of men is speaking out for the first time, describing the attack and lambasting the city's leadership for how they've handled the case.
Holly, who is currently choosing to only go by her first name, showed physical signs of the ordeal while speaking to Fox News' Laura Ingraham, with visible bruises under her eye and on her cheek. She went on to talk about what led up to the assault that left her on her back, bleeding in the street.
According to Holly, the group of attackers, who were black, hurled racist insults at her and those she was with. ... though we all know that black folk can't be racist...
HOLLY: When we came outside, there were some racist comments. I guess some of the people that we were with were from the country of Russia, and there were a bunch of Russian comments, and some people saying they wanted to beat up the Russians. And then there were some comments about, you know, "White people shouldn't be out here" or "We're gonna go night night, you white bleep words."
So, you know, definitely it was a little scary, yeah, there were, it was just an attack that should have never happened, and there were a lot of people in the attack, now that some of the people have been arrested, they have rap sheets that go on for days, especially the man who punched me in the face. He had just gotten out of jail a few months before and had felonies on him, and I don't understand why he was running the streets, and a lot of other people should have never been out of jail to even do this to me or the others.
So she was not a Russian, after all.
After the attack, Cincinnati Police Chief Teresa Theetge appeared to take the side of the attackers, claiming that the videos that had gone viral lacked context and were a "distorted" version of the events. She has still not provided any evidence for her claim, and, notably, Theetge is an outspoken proponent of DEI. That provides a window into her views regarding policing and racial politics.
She also didn't bother to reveal in her press conference that the alleged attackers had previous criminal records, including acts of violence. That would have gone against her implication that this attack was somehow instigated by Holly and was not an indictment of her failed leadership.
[FOXNEWS] A 28-year-old man who was caught on video attacking two pro-life activists outside a Planned Parenthood ...has received federal funding since 1970, when President Richard Nixon signed into law the Family Planning Services and Population Research Act. It is sometimes described as the gynecololgical wing of the Democratic party... clinic in Baltimore was sentenced this week to a year of home detention and three years of probation.
Baltimore Circuit Judge Yvette M. Bryant rebuffed prosecutors' calls for a 10-year sentence against Patrick Brice, 28, after he was found guilty of two counts of second-degree assault and reckless endangerment in relation to the May 2023 incident, according to The Baltimore Banner.
"What about my rights and my well-being?" one of the victims in the attack, Mark Crosby -- who was 73 years old at the time -- reportedly shouted at Bryant on Thursday as she left the bench.
Brice said on May 26, 2023, he intended to debate Richard Schaefer — the other victim, who was 84 — about the concept of sin outside the Planned Parenthood facility, but then lost it after Schaefer made what he perceived to be a racial remark, The Baltimore Banner reported. Surveillance video showed Brice shoving Schaefer into a flowerpot and then assaulting Crosby when he rushed to his aid.

"Every director of the CIA or the FBI should be prepared to resign in the event that he is asked to do something that he knows is wrong," Webster once said.
A Webster axiom which should include the rank and file as well.
The "I was simply following orders" defense did not hold up well during the Neurenberg trials.
[Daily MIl, where America gets its news] A young California boy was at his big sister's softball game when he was repeatedly bitten by a coyote that tried to drag him away.
On Monday night, six-year-old Enoch Palomar was with his family at Del Amo Park in Carson, where he split time between the playground and watching his sister play.
Midway through the game, Enoch was heard screaming as the coyote chased after him. A portion of the attack was recorded by a parent who was filming the game.
'It just kept biting me and I was trying to kick it,' Enoch told KTLA three days after the fact. 'It was too fast and it just jumped. I was trying my hardest and then it didn't work, and then I yelled.'
His mother, Melissa Palomar, ran over to her son and scared the coyote off, but not before it was able to bite him in multiple places.
'I was like, "Get up, get up!" I was just hysterical,' she said.
After the attack, the coyote was seen running away across the field.
Enoch needed 20 stiches for bites on his legs. He was also bitten on his head and back. As a precaution, he was also given rabies shots.

These vermin have popped up everywhere, given no natural Urban predators.
I have spoken with Homeless that have had issues with them.
Heck, my Grand Daughter shot & killed her 1st Coyote about 3 weeks ago in the Southern Henry Co, GA. area. The coyote was raiding their neighbor's chicken & duck coops.
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] The buffalo that killed an American big game hunter was shot dead just seconds after goring the man to death.
Multi-millionaire Asher Watkins, 59, was out on safari with a professional hunter and an animal tracker on the trail of the bull last Sunday when the beast charged at him and killed him instantly with his horns.
The professional hunter guiding Watkins through the bush killed the buffalo with a single shot just seconds after the tragic incident.
The news of the of the buffalo's death was greeted with dismay and sadness as thousands commented online that they prayed it had escaped and run to safety.
Bearded big game hunter Watkins dressed in camouflage lay dying close by.
The professional hunter from Coenraad Vermaak Safaris running the trophy hunt in Limpopo Province called for medical help but nothing could be done to save Watkins.
An emergency services source said: 'He was beyond help except to load his body into the ambulance. He had horrific injuries to his stomach and to his ribs.
'Buffalo kills are not rare in Limpopo and not many survive but when our guys got there it was clear he must have died instantly from the injuries he had suffered.
'It was big buffalo and anything standing in the way of a charge would not survive. If left alone they are pretty tolerant but if you upset them it will not end well.
'The buffalo lay dead where it was shot with a single bullet wound' she said.
Businessman Watkins who had made his fortune selling upmarket Texan ranches valued between £1m and £30m travelled worldwide to shoot wild animals.
There are many photos on his Facebook page showing animals he has hunted and killed including a mountain lion, many types of deer, turkey shoots and wild fowl.
His ex-wife Courtney who posted news of Watkin's death on her Facebook page was forced to take it down after it was deluged by trolls delighted the buffalo 'won'.
Watkin's own Facebook hunting page was also filled with sick posts describing his death from the buffalo as 'karma' and an AI meme with his head on a hunting shield.
Many were hoping the buffalo that killed him had managed to escape back to his herd but the professional hunter with him took it out with a single heart shot.
Quite right. We can’t have animals accustomed to killing people running around looking for more of us to play with.
If the hunt had gone as normal the buffalo's head and skin would have been taken by the hunting company and given to a taxidermist to prepare as a trophy.

She offers a word to the wise
To take note of their buffalos' size
Before tanning their hides
While defunding the guides,
Or it won't be just Buffy that cries.

It was a Cape buffalo that hunted a man and killed him. Look it up. This species is not anything like our gentle, brown-spotted Bossie who walks into the barn every day at 4 pm to await being milked.

A very dangerous animal indeed. Professional hunters and farmers will argue that it may be the most dangerous African species. Watkins knew the risks and accepted them.

[ZeroHedge] Tesla shares rose in early New York trading after Tesla Robotaxi LLC secured a rideshare license in Texas for its robotaxi Model Y fleet under the state's new autonomous vehicle regulations, which take effect Sept. 1.
Tesla Robotaxi LLC is now registered as a transportation network company with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, joining the ranks of operators such as Lyft.
As previously reported by Reuters, the new law states that operators of robotaxis must obtain a permit from the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles before deploying the autonomous vehicle without a human safety supervisor in the front passenger seat. It also gives the state government the authority to revoke the permits if these vehicles are a danger to the public.
