[Bearing Arms] A northern Kentucky man will not face any charges after officials ruled he was acting in self-defense when he shot and killed a man during an altercation on a busy interstate last Friday.
Joshua Taylor was on his way home from work when he crossed paths with John Patrick Abell, who was driving home after a day of fishing. Witnesses describe Abell driving aggressively, and eventually Taylor’s car and Abell’s SUV collided, sending Abell’s vehicle spinning until it came to a stop near an on ramp.
Taylor quickly got on the phone with 911 to report that he’d been involved in a wreck with another driver, and as he was on the phone with dispatchers, he described the driver approaching his own vehicle with a rifle in his hand. Dispatchers heard a brief argument between the two men before shots rang out.

There are just to many loose nuts behind the wheel nowadays.
A law I'd love to see added.
After a Life threatening Road Rage occurs, the aggressor loses their Drivers License for Life on conviction.
Sound like too much?
The Liberals & Democrats have already did the same thing for firearms. Heck a person could have been convicted of any non-aggressive felony 40 years ago and be banned from owning a firearm for life.
In this case the law would ONLY actually ban violent persons from driving.

any chance "a day of fishing" involved alcohol?

Just sounds ineffective. So many licenses are pulled in my neck of the woods for repeated DUIs. They still keep driving, DUI. Someone actually has to die before the remove the recidivist threat to the rest of society. Yeah, we're an advance civilization that doesn't believe in human sacrifice, not.
[FOX] A California man suffered a "traumatic" injury Monday afternoon after an explosion that authorities said may leave a city block closed for as long as four days. We always wondered what he was doing in there.
The unidentified man injured one of his hands and was transported to a hospital, authorities in Gilroy, near San Jose, told FOX 2 of the Bay Area.
Police bomb squad investigators were called to the scene after explosive-making materials were found at the residence, the report said.
One neighbor told the station the injured man likely wasn’t looking to cause trouble.
"He is a good guy," neighbor Anna Smith told FOX 2. "He’s not trying to hurt anybody. He’s not a terrorist. He just messes around with little explosive things that sound worse than it is. But he didn’t mean any harm."
The types of devices found inside the home weren’t immediately clear, Gilroy police Sgt. John Ballard told the station.
"We’re not sure at this point what kind of explosives — whether they’re fireworks or more serious types," Ballard said, "so the bomb squad was called out."
Police said they determined the blast was not related to the processing of illegal drugs, the Mercury News of San Jose reported.
Authorities obtained a search warrant so they could inspect the premises, he added.
The blast occurred inside a structure behind the home, FOX 2 reported.

He'll be pushed to his limits, and hopefully be a great success as an adult, but he's missing a lot by skipping over his childhood and normal college experience and that's kind of sad.

...yeah, like being stupefyingly kept at a grade level based upon age rather than ability that our public school system seem so bent on rigorously enforcing.

Not sure I'd want somebody like that bored, frustrated, and receiving a public school education - when he isn't waiting for his classmate to pull the crayon out of his nose.
However, his parents were eager for him to have a more holistic college experience at Georgia Tech.
They also want to make sure that Caleb learns important life lessons outside of the classroom.
'We want to make sure that when he is an adult, he’ll make a great husband, a great father, a great friend,' the couple told CBS this morning.
Mom Claire has a Master's degree in education, while dad Kobi is an IT salesman.
While most parents are still helping their 12-year-old children with homework, they are no longer able to help with the complex assignments Caleb is completing.
'Both of us are not rocket scientists,' Claire told earlier this year.
'We had to learn there are other things that we can teach him about compassion, kindness, and looking for good in others'.

Despite all the madness of our idiot rulers there are still millions of good, wise and normal American families, of all races, who put the lie to all the idiots' Woke bullish!t.
God bless this family for raising such a wonderful young man.
Wishing him a long and happy life with a successful, useful career and children who will be raised as well as he was raised.
[ARMENPRESS.AM] The Russian Police and the National Guard officers found the body of a young man, who is suspected of killing three citizens of the Nizhny Novgorod Region, in western Russia, the Interior Ministry’s regional department told TASS. Earlier, a source in the law enforcement agencies said the man had did away with himself.
"Police officers jointly with Rosgvardiya representatives in the region found the body of an 18-year-old citizen of Nizhny Novgorod, who is suspected of killing three people", the press service said. The body was discovered in a forest near the Bolsheorlovskoye village in the Borsky district.
According to preliminary data, the young man had come to the village to visit his relatives. A criminal case was launched into murdering two or more people.
In the evening of October 12, a man opened fire in the Bolsheorlovskoe settlement in the Nizhny Novgorod Region and later expeditiously departed at a goodly pace. Russia’s Investigative Committee’s regional directorate reported that three people had been killed while three more had been maimed.

Lead (Pb) and not polonium (Po), so Putin is off the hook.
[SeattleTimes] As the COVID-19 global pandemic continues to depress the aviation market, neither Boeing nor Airbus booked a single new jet order in September.
With airlines still parking many airplanes and demand low for new jets — and with its 737 MAX still grounded — Boeing delivered just 11 airplanes in the month; Airbus delivered 57 planes, its highest monthly delivery total this year.
In addition, the number of MAX orders that so far this year have been either canceled outright or removed from the official backlog as doubtful rose past 1,000 aircraft.
Greg Smith, Boeing executive vice president of enterprise operations and chief financial officer, in a statement said the company is working to reduce production to align with demand "while navigating the significant impact this global pandemic continues to have on our industry."
"We’re taking actions to resize, reshape and transform our business to preserve liquidity [and] adapt to the new market reality," he said, adding that Boeing’s government services, defense and space programs "provide some stability" to counter the deep trough in the commercial jet market.
In addition to the hit from the pandemic, Boeing hasn’t been able since March 2019 to deliver any of its high-production-volume 737 MAXs.
Boeing delivered a total of just 98 commercial aircraft through September, a reduction of about two-thirds compared with the 301 delivered in the first nine months of 2019.
So far this year, Airbus has delivered a total of 341 commercial aircraft, a reduction of around 40% compared with the 571 jets delivered in the first nine months of 2019.
MAX ORDERS SHRINKING
Customers canceled three orders for the 737 MAX in September, and accounting rules required Boeing to remove an additional 48 MAXs from the official backlog as no longer certain to be fulfilled.
Such removals from the order book are typically necessary when either the credit quality of an airline has lowered to a point where it may no longer be able to pay for the jets or because the delay in delivering the airplane, under the terms of the contract, makes a cancellation possible.
So far this year Boeing has removed 570 MAXs from the backlog for such reasons and customers have outright canceled a further 436 MAXs, so that the MAX order book has shrunk by a total of 1,006 aircraft.
The 737 MAX backlog as of Sept. 30 fell to 3,357 jets.
Highlighting the enormous impact of the MAX crisis on market share, Airbus in September reported a backlog for the rival A320neo family of aircraft of 5,992 jets.
Because of all the cancellations and removals from the backlog, Boeing’s net order tally in 2020 for all its jets now stands at negative 983 commercial airplanes.
Airbus this year has booked net total orders for 300 commercial airplanes.
Boeing’s total backlog for all its commercial jet programs at the end of September stood at 4,325 aircraft. Airbus said its total order backlog was 7,441 aircraft.
However, both manufacturers are likely to see further serious reductions in those figures as the effects of the pandemic continue to devastate the airline industry.
[DAILYTIMES.PK] The alleged marriage of a minor girl by renowned Pak stuntman Sultan Muhammad Khan alias Golden Khan has sparked a new controversy.Sultan Golden.
Sultan Mohammad Khan married a girl from a village in Chitral in July this year, just weeks after a local welfare organization claimed that the stuntman had married a minor girl.
After the welfare organization raised its voice on the issue, the top administration of the Chitral district had directed the local administration to investigate the matter and the initial investigation revealed that the girl’s identity card was obtained by concealing her age.
The incident happened in the month of July, at the district of Chitral. Popular Pak motorcar and motorcyclist stuntman, Sultan Golden had illegally married Samreen Seher, a minor village girl.
Samreen’s father Azizur Rehman had illicitly obtained fake birth certificate for his daughter from Sheshi Koh village council, after concealing her vaccination and school certificates. Hence, on the basis of her false birth certificate, a National Identity Card [NIC] was issued by NADRA [National Database and Registration Authority] that facilitated the felonious Nikah ceremony.
Soon after the marriage ceremony took place, the local civil authorities Chitral interfered into the matter after which the controversial birth certificate was corrected followed with cancelling the marriage contract of 12-year-old Samreen Seher with 60-year-old Sultan.

This all makes sense when you realize the UN Human Rights Council was originally going to be the Villains, Thieves and Scoundrels Union but the name was already taken.
