Damn those White Supremacists!.....um [10 News] PLEASANTVILLE, N.J. ‐ Five men have been arrested in connection with a Friday night shooting at a New Jersey high school football game.
Three people were struck by the gunfire, including a 10-year-old who is listed in critical condition, a 15-year-old boy who suffered a graze wound, and a 27-year-old man who is in stable condition and will undergo surgery, according to the Atlantic County Prosecutor's Office.
Alvin Wyatt, 31, is the man accused of opening fire at the game. He's being charged with three counts of attempted murder, unlawful possession of a weapon, and possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose.
Four other men at the game have been connected to the shooting. They've been identified as 27-year-old Michael Mack, 28-year-old Tyrell Dorn, 27-year-old Shahid Dixon, and 26-year-old Vance Golden.
After the shooting, the prosecutor's office says the four men fled in a vehicle from the Absecon Police Department into Atlantic City. While entering the city, one of the passengers allegedly threw a gun out of the vehicle.
In the end, the four men were arrested on charges of unlawful possession of a weapon, and certain persons not to possess a weapon, according to the prosecutor's office. Dixon is also being charged with eluding. So, what we need to do is confiscate legal weapons?

Had similar escapades on both ends of PeeAye recently. Lots of similarities. High school football game, people long out of high school, not parents of football players and so on.

But how could this happen? NJ is basically a gun-free zone with all their laws, right?
Also video. It’s getting busier over there. Some of her latest, not properly formatted:

3dc tracks interesting corners of Twitter for us, newc. Well beyond my limited skillz, not to mention my ability keep track of multiple threads at once. I’m an old-fashioned, linear sort of girl.
[FRANCE24] An Australian wildlife ranger has recounted his terrifying escape from the clutches of a "particularly cunning" crocodile, after wrestling with the reptile and sticking a finger in its eye.
Craig Dickmann, who made a split-second decision to go fishing last Sunday in a remote part of Northern Australia known as "croc country" last Sunday, said a 2.8-metre (nine-foot) crocodile came up from behind him as he was leaving the beach.
"As I've turned to go, the first thing I see is its head just come at me," he told news hounds on Friday from his hospital bed in the town of Cairns in Queensland state.
Dickmann said the animal latched on to his thigh.
"That noise will haunt me forever I think, the sound of the snap of its jaws," he said.
The 54-year-old said he wrestled with the croc on the remote beach as it tried to drag him into the water.
Dickmann stuck his thumb into its eye, saying it was the only "soft spot" he found on the "bullet-proof" animal.
"Their eyes retract a fair way and when you go down far enough you can feel bone so I pushed as far as I possibly could and then it let go at that point," Dickmann said.
After a few minutes, he said he managed to get on top of the croc and pin its jaws shut.
"And then, I think both the croc and I had a moment where we're going, 'well, what do we do now?'"
Dickmann said he then pushed the croc away from him and it slid back into the water.
The ranger had skin ripped from his hands and legs in the ordeal and drove more than 45 minutes back to his home before calling emergency services.
It was then another hour in the car to meet the Royal Flying Doctors Service who flew him to Cairns Hospital, where he is recovering from the ordeal.
"This croc was particularly cunning and particularly devious, " he said.
Queensland's department of environment this week euthanized the animal.
"The area is known croc country and people in the area are reminded to always be crocwise," the department said in a statement.
Saltwater crocodiles, which can grow up to seven metres long and weigh more than a tonne, are common in the vast continent's tropical north.
Their numbers have went kaboom! since they were declared a protected species in the 1970s, with attacks on humans rare.

Eye attacks probably do work well. Other stories say they also work on sharks. I believe it, but just in case, you go first :-). In the meantime I'll confine my fishing to fish infested areas, not croc.
[AlAhram] French "yellow vest" protesters are planning a series of nationwide demonstrations this weekend in a bid to show the government they can still muster support on the first anniversary of their movement.
Numbers attending the protests and levels of violence have sharply diminished in recent months from the height of the movement, which began on November 17 last year with a giant Gay Paree protest that drew almost 300,000 people.
But the yellow vests want the actions on Saturday -- their traditional day for protests -- and also Sunday -- the anniversary day -- to show President Emmanuel Macron they remain a force to be reckoned with.
Around 200 demonstrations are planned, with authorities expecting several thousand to rally in the capital.
This estimate includes a few hundred radical protesters from the ultra-left and far-right, often behind the worst scenes of mayhem.
La Belle France has a long tradition of violent protest, but the ferocity of last winter's demonstrations and allegations of police brutality shocked the country.
Officials said the magnitude of the weekend protests is far from certain but deputy interior minister Laurent Nunez noted a "more pronounced interest" than in previous weeks, and police would plan their deployment accordingly.
"There will be a significant mobilisation but not on the scale we saw in December and January at a national level," said a French security source, asking not to be identified by name.
"We are expecting a difficult Saturday," said the source, noting that protesters "mobilise at the last minute in a bid to take us by surprise".
STILL IN THE STREET
A poll by the Elabe institute published Wednesday said 55 percent of French people support or have sympathy for the yellow vests, although 63 percent said they do not want the protests to begin in earnest again.
The most prominent figures in the movement, which has explicitly shunned any formal leadership structure, acknowledge the declining numbers but say the authorities' response has not been sufficient.
"We shouldn't still need be on the street one year on," said Priscillia Ludosky, an entrepreneur whose online petition against high fuel prices helped kick off the movement.
"It's unfortunate there has been no political response, but also to see that we are slightly lacking energy in terms of mobilisation," she told the Regards news site.
The yellow vests -- named for the glow-in-the-dark waistcoats all French drivers must carry -- posed the biggest challenge to Macron since he swept to power in 2017 on the back of promises of sweeping change.
They accused Macron of being deaf to the troubles of ordinary French people as he embarked on a major programme aimed at modernising the country.
CRY OF SUFFERING
Initially taken aback by the size and intensity of the movement, Macron offered billions of euros in state aid and tax breaks -- and scrapped a planned fuel tax hike -- while embarking on a "Great National Debate" at town halls nationwide.
He has also tried to soften his sometimes abrasive style. Just weeks before the protests erupted, Macron told a 25-year-old man looking for a job in Gay Paree that "if I crossed the street I'd find you one".
"The yellow vests opened our eyes to the reality for millions of people," Economy Minister Bruno Le Maire said on Friday, adding that the government wanted to respond to this "cry of suffering".
One Facebook event has called for a protest on the Champs-Elysees, but this will once again be closed off to demonstrators following the ransacking of shops that followed a protest last March.
Other rallies are expected in cities including Bordeaux, Lille and Toulouse ...lies on the banks of the River Garonne, half-way between the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. The Toulouse metropolitan area is the fourth-largest in La Belle France... , which have often attracted thousands of people.
The next major street challenge to Macron, however, may not come from the weekend's protests but a strike called by unions on December 5 to rally against his planned pension reforms.
If the money isn’t there, all the protesting in the world will not make it appear.
[AlAhram] Police also intervened to prevent a few hundred demonstrators from occupying the Paris ring road, according to Reuters TV footage, 33 arrested by 10:30 a.m. GMT. At its peak in late 2018, the movement grew to up to 300,000 people.
[VoltaireNet] Today the United States began the process to withdraw from the Paris Agreement. Per the terms of the Agreement, the United States submitted formal notification of its withdrawal to the United Nations. The withdrawal will take effect one year from delivery of the notification.
As noted in his June 1, 2017 remarks, President Trump made the decision to withdraw from the Paris Agreement because of the unfair economic burden imposed on American workers, businesses, and taxpayers by U.S. pledges made under the Agreement. The United States has reduced all types of emissions, even as we grow our economy and ensure our citizens’ access to affordable energy. Our results speak for themselves: U.S. emissions of criteria air pollutants that impact human health and the environment declined by 74% between 1970 and 2018. U.S. net greenhouse gas emissions dropped 13% from 2005-2017, even as our economy grew over 19 percent.
The U.S. approach incorporates the reality of the global energy mix and uses all energy sources and technologies cleanly and efficiently, including fossils fuels, nuclear energy, and renewable energy. In international climate discussions, we will continue to offer a realistic and pragmatic model ‐ backed by a record of real world results ‐ showing innovation and open markets lead to greater prosperity, fewer emissions, and more secure sources of energy. We will continue to work with our global partners to enhance resilience to the impacts of climate change and prepare for and respond to natural disasters. Just as we have in the past, the United States will continue to research, innovate, and grow our economy while reducing emissions and extending a helping hand to our friends and partners around the globe.
Related: In an interview posted in translation on the Global Warming Policy Forum, Ottmar Edenhofer, then co-chair of the IPCC Working Group III, stated: "One must say clearly that we redistribute de facto the world's wealth by climate policy ... One has to free oneself from the illusion that international climate policy is environmental policy. This has almost nothing to do with environmental policy any more. ... That will change immediately if global emission rights are distributed. If this happens, on a per capita basis, then Africa will be the big winner, and huge amounts of money will flow there."

And we remember from past articles that the Paris Accord was based upon a widely discredited steaming pile of abject academic incompetence that even the climate Nazis said was misrepresented and deliberately false data
India's human space flight mission is on schedule with a launch date of December 2021 and the first of two unmanned test flights taking off in December 2020, a top official told a Dubai space summit.
India will be sending its astronauts using its own spacecraft and launch vehicle. The selection process for the astronauts is ongoing, with 12 who have already been shortlisted and seven receiving training from the Russian space agency, Roscosmos.
"The objective is to make a habitable space capsule to carry three crew members to low earth orbit and return safely. There will be two unmanned flights before the main flight," Sreerekha said. "Our first unmanned flight will be in December 2020, the second one is July 2021 and the manned flight is December 2021. We have completed the pre-project activities and have already demonstrated some of the critical technologies. In 2007, we had a space capsule return experiment. It came back safely to the Bay of Bengal from orbit. In 2014, we tested the crew module orbit re-entry experiment and we recovered the capsule. This is a similar capsule we are planning to send into orbit with human beings."
ISRO is also increasing its international collaboration to make its human space flight mission a reality. It has signed an agreement with Russia to provide basic preliminary training to their astronauts. More agreements with other nations are in negotiations for specific training and technology-related matters.
ISRO will also be holding a major symposium on human spaceflight programme in January 2020, and has extended an invitation to the UAE astronauts, Hazzaa AlMansoori and Sultan Al Neyadi, to share their experiences in this field.
So far, ISRO has completed 184 space-related missions, which include 78 launch vehicle missions and 106 satellite ones. It launched its second lunar exploration mission, Chandrayaan-2, earlier this year. Even though it failed to land, the orbiter is still operational and has enough fuel for the next seven years. "It is still giving us data," Sreerekha said.

Let's see if I've got this new Catechism, from Francis the Talking Mule, down correctly-- among other things, we are told:
Jesus is not divine.
Climate change skepticism is a mortal sin.
Chicks with dicks, boys pretending to be girls so they can smash all the athletic records etc are not for us to judge.
And a Church hierarchy that conspires, plans and actually aids the movement of criminal fugitives across national boundaries, all over the world, is not a criminal racketeering organization, punishable under RICO and other federal legislation.

The Vatican. Sanctimonious, money grubbing bastards. I'm sure they profit in part from gold mining in the amazon, cartels running factories, regimes of nothing but evil across the pan-Amazon. Allying with communists and marxist organizations they simply seek to undermine the industry oriented far-right in every country.
The pope advocates independence from fossil fuels here ! Electric vehicles in the pan-Amazon ?
Besides, this is not about sin or the earth, it's drama to maximize synod reach into local politics and shove those manicured hands into every regime pie from Peru to French Guiana.
Pope Francis even went some new depth to consecrate some 'earth mother fertility goddess' idols with his Byzantine pixie dust. The lying leech.

I'm not Catholic, but I do know the charities I donate to are happy to get the money I no longer drop in the collection plate at the hyperliberal front organization I got tired of attending.

...I walked away from the Catholic Church more than thirty years ago, when they gave me a choice between defending my country or following their politically motivated dictates.
I've never looked back.

“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ 23 And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’

Unless he is speaking ex cathedra, all of this is nothing more than the opinion of a man who happens to be pope at the moment. And if he should act on it, it must be remembered that the Church, as all human institutions, has endured despite the human follies to be found at all levels.
