[NYPOST] The gunman who allegedly shot an innocent commuter outside of Penn Station earlier this week was held on bail Friday — after calling a Manhattan judge "bro" at his arraignment.
Marvin Bruce, wearing gray sweatpants and a blue hoodie, appeared in Manhattan Criminal Court Friday afternoon before Judge Zhuo Wang after being arrested on assault and weapons possession charges.
"Good afternoon, bro," the 27-year-old greeted said to the judge moments after the jurist began the arraignment.
Wang ordered Bruce to be held on $100,000 bail or $300,000 bond.
The suspected triggerman allegedly shot a 58-year-old innocent bystander in the leg outside of the bustling commuter terminal just before 6 p.m Monday.
The bullet "shattered" the victim’s femur and require emergency surgery, prosecutors charged in a criminal complaint.
Marvin Bruce, 27, was taken into custody at his home in Brownsville on Thursday morning and later charged with assault with intent to cause physical harm and weapons charges for shooting a tourist outside Penn Station.
At the arraignment, Assistant District Attorney Meral Kerim told the judge, "the facts in this case are extremely violent mostly peaceful."
"The defendant, during rush hour at Penn Station, fired a firearm," Kerim said. "He was observed following a stranger out of Penn Station, at which point he removed a firearm from his waistband and shot in the direction of that stranger.
"However, you can observe a lot just by watching... he missed and instead struck an innocent bystander in the leg."
Bruce was on the lam for three days after the shooting and tried to run from the warrant squad when he was arrested in the Brownsville section of Brooklyn on Thursday, according to Kerim.
Cops have video footage of Bruce ditching a gun in a box on the street after Midtown shooting, Kerim told the judge.
He also admitted to the shooting soon after his arrest, Kerim added.
Legal Aid attorney Francis White argued for Bruce by highlighting that the 27-year-old has no criminal record and "he is, of course, presumed innocent."
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] A thousand? Pikers: 160,000 protest in France against Covid rules
[AlAhram] Sixteen people were arrested and three police officers slightly injured in what was the seventh consecutive weekend of Covid protests.
[Fox32Chicago] A Chicago mother says a Cook County judge has taken away her parental rights after learning that she is not vaccinated against COVID-19.
In what all parties agree is a very unusual and perhaps unprecedented step, a judge at Chicago’s Daley Center has stripped Rebecca Firlit of custody because she refuses to get a vaccination shot.
"I miss my son more than anything. It's been very difficult. I haven't seen him since August 10th," Firlit told FOX 32 News in an exclusive interview.
That’s the day Firlit appeared in court via Zoom along with her ex-husband for a child support hearing involving their 11-year-old son. The two have been divorced for seven years and share custody and parenting time.
She says out of the blue, Cook County Judge James Shapiro asked her whether she had been vaccinated. Firlit told Shapiro she had not because she has had bad reactions to vaccines in the past.
Shapiro then ordered that Firlit be stripped of all parenting time with her son until she gets vaccinated.
Over the past two weeks, Firlit has been able to talk to her son on the phone and through video calls, but has not seen him in person.
"I think that it’s wrong. I think that it’s dividing families. And I think it’s not in my son's best interest to be away from his mother," Firlit said.
Firlit is now appealing the court order, saying the judge has no business taking away her parenting rights simply because she’s not vaccinated.
"It had nothing to do with what we were talking about. He was placing his views on me. And taking my son away from me," Firlit said.
Annette Fernholz, Firlit's attorney, says the judge has overstepped his authority.
"In this case you have a judge, without any matter before him regarding the parenting time with the child deciding ’Oh, you’re not vaccinated. You don't get to see your child until you are vaccinated.' That kind of exceeds his jurisdiction," Fernholz said.
"You have to understand the father did not even bring this issue before the court. So it’s the judge on his own and making this decision that you can’t see your child until you’re vaccinated," Fernholz added.
The attorney representing the father, Jeffrey Leving, says they were also surprised by the judge's decision, but they support the ruling saying that given the pandemic, the child should be protected from an unvaccinated mother.
"There are children who have died because of COVID. I think every child should be safe. And I agree that the mother should be vaccinated," Leving said.
A spokesperson for Chief Judge Tim Evans and Judge Shapiro said they couldn’t comment because of the ongoing nature of the case.
Leving believes the judge is breaking new ground that could now play out in other custody cases. There is no timetable on when the appellate court will make its decision.

[FOXNEWS] A Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, school district is investigating a teacher after she posted a video admitting that she encouraged her students to pledge allegiance to a gay pride flag after she removed the American flag from her classroom.
"Okay, so during third period, we have announcements and they do the pledge of allegiance," the teacher, identified as Kristin Pitzen of Newport Mesa School District in Orange County, said in a video posted to social media. "I always tell my class, stand if you feel like it, don’t stand if you feel like it, say the words if you want, you don’t have to say the words."
"So, my class decided to stand but not say the words. Totally fine," she continued in the now-viral video.
"Except for the fact that my room does not have a flag," she said, explaining that she removed the flag during the pandemic and then whispered to the camera, "because it made me uncomfortable."
She went on to say that one of her students asked where they should look during the pledge of allegiance since there is no American flag in the classroom.
"In the meantime, I tell this kid, ’We do have a flag in the class that you can pledge your allegiance to. And he like, looks around and goes, ’Oh, that one?'" and points to the pride flag.
The Newport Mesa School District told Fox News on Saturday that the incident is under investigation, but could not provide more details as it does not "discuss employee related matters."
"We are aware of this incident and are investigating. While we do not discuss employee related matters, we can tell you that showing respect and honor for our nation’s flag is a value that we instill in our students and an expectation of our employees. We take matters like this seriously and will be taking action to address it," public relations officer for the district, Annette Franco, told Fox News.
The video has meanwhile garnered backlash on social media, including from former acting director of national intelligence Ric Grenell.
"What kind of parent would allow their child to be taught by this wacko? Why are parents turning their kids over to someone they don’t know? I’d like to talk to people who think this is good?!?" Grenell wrote on Twitter, accompanied by the video.

Remind me again why Public Schools are losing students hand over fist every year.
Could it be in part due the NEA's Uber-Liberal agenda and protecting IDIOTS like this one?

If there is anything close to an insurrection conspiracy, its the NEA. In any rational democratic society, employees of the state are never co-equal to the state. If you don't want to work for the state, quit.

Keeping in mind that this is the mostest worstest emergency that ever happened and all hospitals everywhere are at the breaking point...but they are firing staff who do not want to be vaccinated.
Inasmuch as nothing so momentous and horrible beyond description has ever taken place and everybody, I say EVERYBODY must be vaccinated and have their papers at all times...Afghan refugees are being 'offered' but not required to take the vaccine. Let's not forget the border crossing individuals who are being released all over the country, you know, Sneezy and Feverish.
Given that we have a situation so black and dire that this PANDEMIC must be relentlessly promoted and a cure so wonderful it must be mandated, we simply have to face the fact that things will never improve.
Since the Def-Con meter is now irreparably destroyed and they had to release the guy in DC who runs down the street screaming run for your lives, we need to immediately go back and do all the things that didn't work in the first place, taking solace in the immense cost and lives forever ruined.
Whatever you do, ignore potentially important information about age, weight/obesity, and multiple co-morbidities. The Hell with all of that, concentrate and the straight dope, go where the big numbers are no matter what gymnastics you have to perform to get there.

#6 The new normal. I don't believe most people realize this will last many years or become permanent. The serous mental and physical issues will be costly. Industrial revolution is in its death throes as I might venture to say and humankind. In comes AI to save the day or so we will think. Work fewer hours, more vacation time as when they introduced computers.
Distancing & lockdowns are needed to "flatten the curve" so we can get the vaccine - until they're permanent, regardless of the shape of the curve.
The vaccine will get us back to normal - except when new variants emerge. Which they will, inevitably and ad infinitum.
The goal isn't to serve or support the public. It's to enable the Left's agenda: suppression and destruction of a self-standing middle class and rule of law, and their replacement with UBI, cultural Marxism and the complete domination by the Woke socialist + Big Tech oligarchy.

[Breitbart] A New York Brewery, First Line Brewing, announced they will be leaving 13 beers on a reserved table for the 13 fallen U.S. service members killed in Afghanistan during Thursday’s terrorist attack.
The brewery announced on their Facebook page that they will have a reserved table inside their brewery set with 13 cold beers to pay tribute to the ultimate sacrifice.
"[Thirteen] glasses will sit un touched at this reserved table all night for the 13 American troops who were killed in Afghanistan on August 26th," the brewery wrote, noting, "These brave courageous individuals paid the ultimate sacrifice for our country."
The post also said the beers would continue to be replaced "throughout the night to ensure that they are fresh and ice cold just how they would want them. Thank you to our amazing staff for this amazing idea to honor these heroes."
Besides honoring the fallen, the brewery said as the information of those killed continues to develop, the brewery will be donating on behalf of the 13 service members. "As we know more about the situation we will decide the most appropriate donor recipient(s)," the post noted.
"God bless their families and loved ones. God bless the United States of America," the post concluded.

South Sudan, where the war of all against all seems to be a hobby...
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] South Sudan security forces have arrested seven people, including a top religious figure, a civil society organization said Saturday, as rights groups warn of a widening crackdown on critics in the East African nation.
The arrests, which police denied, come ahead of planned nationwide protests organized by the People’s Coalition for Civil Action (PCCA), which has called for the country’s leadership to step down.
They were detained because of alleged links with the PCCA, according to Jame David Kolok, chairperson of the South Sudan Civil Society Forum.
Four activists were picked up on Friday in the northwestern town of Wau, while two others were taken into custody along with a bishop in the southwestern city of Yei on Wednesday, Kolok told AFP.
The authorities "are accusing both the activists and the bishop of having possession of information that is attributed to the (PCCA) coalition," he said.
"This crackdown should stop."
But a front man for the South Sudan police denied the detentions.
"We have not arrested anybody," Major General Daniel Justine told AFP.
A heavy police presence has been deployed in parts of the capital Juba this weekend, he said, urging citizens not to take part in Monday’s protest, branded by authorities as "illegal."
"We have just appealed to the public not to come out... so (the demonstration) will not take place," Justine said.
He warned that police will "take legal measures" against anyone who defies the protest ban.
The United States embassy in Juba has asked its citizens to avoid the areas where protesters may assemble, urging them to "exercise caution."
The latest detentions follow a series of arrests in recent weeks.
On Friday, security officials briefly detained three journalists and shut down their radio station in eastern Jonglei state.
Two prominent activists were arrested earlier this month for joining the PCCA, a broad-based coalition of activists, academics, lawyers and former government officials.
The PCCA this month issued a declaration saying they have "had enough" after 10 years of independence marked by armed conflict, escalating insecurity, hunger and political instability.
The world’s newest nation has struggled with civil war, famine and chronic political and economic crisis since celebrating its hard-fought independence from Sudan in 2011.

According to Soroka, the authorities have already been approached by people whose relatives could be buried on the outskirts of the city. The interagency working group continues to collect information.
Earlier, in the republics of Donbass, special bodies were created to search for missing people. Burial data will become the basis for appeals to international courts. Material by Chris Covert follows. Transation by Google Translate,
According to Russkaya Vesna, Donetsk is forming its own program to search for and recover bodies from mass graves
In a separate story a former Ukrainian SBU officer, Vasily Prozorov, said he had interviewed a number of individuals who had knowledges of atrocities committed in 2014-2015 in the early part of the war in eastern Ukraine.
Said Prozorov:
I interviewed the victims, to see personally and in photographs the atrocities and torments that they experienced.
I saw how the letters DPR or LPR were carved on the bodies of civilians, the swastika was burned out, joints were twisted, arms and legs were broken. Even the worst enemy would not wish that.
Prozorov can be seen speaking in this video. The video is translatable. He is linked to a website UkrLeaks.

Let’s think, why do liberals attack Christians and not Muslims?
Let’s see Christians believe “thou shall not murder” or some reasons that Muslims can kill, including “Leaving religion. Killing someone else. Married man/women who commit adultery. Non-Muslims. Whoever attacks Muslims.”. Could it be FEAR?
Take a look at Figures #2 and #3 and start comparing the Percent of Vaccinations, to Percent of Cases, to Percent of Deaths, to Percent of Total Population while reading the data.
Note: There is also data for White, Hispanic, and Asians.
SUMMARY:
Asian lead the way in Vaccinations.
Black and Hispanic people are less likely than their White counterparts to have received a vaccine, leaving them at increased risk.
The Okinawa prefectural government said Saturday that it has found foreign matter in an unused vial of Moderna Inc.'s COVID-19 vaccine not belonging to batches already suspended from use following the discovery of contaminants.
Japan's health ministry said Thursday that foreign substances have been confirmed in 39 unused vials at eight vaccination sites in five prefectures -- Ibaraki, Saitama, Tokyo, Gifu and Aichi.
The same day, it halted the use of around 1.63 million doses, or three lots, which came from the same production line of a Spanish factory, as a precaution.
