We Will Continue to Rage': SWAT Breaks Up Massive Crowds Defying Curfew in Miami Beach
[DB] MIAMI—SWAT teams moved in to disperse massive crowds of spring breakers who stayed out past an 8 p.m. curfew in Miami Beach on Saturday night, firing pepper balls and sparking a stampede as people fled.

Sirens and shouting filled the air as police sought to force party-goers to leave the area. On Ocean Drive in South Beach, police rolled in about a half hour after curfew to find one huge street party.

Different groups of young women had been dancing and twerking in front of giant bluetooth speaker boxes playing rap music. In front of the shuttered News Cafe on 9th and Ocean Drive, a very large crowd had gathered around four young men having a dance off, with the unmistakable odor of marijuana hanging in the air.

A cop over a loudspeaker barked, "Everyone needs to leave the area. The curfew started at 8 p.m. You need to disperse."

12 People Shot Friday Through Sunday Morning in Mayor Lori Lightfoot's Chicago
[BREITBART] Twelve people were shot, two fatally, Friday through Sunday morning in Mayor Lori Lightfoot

’s (D) reliably Democrat Chicago, aka The Windy City or Mobtown
...home of Al Capone, the Chicago Black Sox, a succession of Daleys, Barak Obama, and Rahm Emmanuel...
The Chicago Sun-Times reported that the first fatality occurred Friday 6:50 p.m., when someone walked up to a car "in the 3100 block of West Lake Street" and opened fire. An unidentified man died in the attack.

ABC 7/Sun-Times noted the second fatality occurred at 3:05 p.m. Saturday, when 27-year-old Darrell Holiday Jr. was shot multiple times and killed.

A Chicago police officer was also shot over the weekend. Officers responded to a report of shots fired around 11:30 a.m. Saturday and came under fire once they arrived on scene. An officer was shot in the hand during the gunfire, taken to a hospital, then released.

Breitbart News noted a Chicago Police Sergeant was shot last Sunday while standing in the parking lot of the Gresham District cop shoppe. ABC7 explained that the officer heard a gunshot around 2:45 p.m., then felt pain in his chin. He was taken to the hospital and treated for a non-life-threatening gunshot injury.

#4  Chicago weekend reporting is not officially over.

Per our favorite mayhem aggregator, "8:00p Peaceful Tally: 4 killed, 21 wounded"

That leaves 4 more hours of uncollected data.

#5  /\ The additional 4 hours of tabulation is encouraging. Keep in mind however, these figures only represent known or reported shootings. Non-firearms related violence and death could boost the casualty figures significantly.

Man killed by Arlington police was accused of raping 2 young girls, authorities say
[STAR-TELEGRAM] The man fatally shot by an Arlington police officer on Thursday was wanted in Arkansas on charges of rape and indecency with a child, involving two victims under the age of 10 who were sisters, according to authorities and media reports.

Juan Jimenez-Salas, 46, was identified by the Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s Office as the man killed. Arlington police said he pointed a handgun at an officer around 5:20 p.m. Thursday and the officer, a 19-year veteran of the department, shot him. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Arlington police on Thursday described Jimenez-Salas as a suspect wanted on serious offenses out of Arkansas, including rape and indecency with a child.

The charges originated in El Dorado, Arkansas, where Sherlocks had been looking for Jimenez-Salas for several months, according to the El Dorado News-Times. He was accused of raping and inappropriately touching his girlfriend’s two young daughters in El Dorado and in Texas, the newspaper reported.

A spokesperson for the El Dorado Police Department in Arkansas didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment on Saturday.

A Texas man reported to police in November 2020 that his young daughters told him Jimenez-Salas, who was dating their mother, had repeatedly molested them, according to the El Dorado News-Times. The man reportedly stated that when the children told their mother about the abuse, she left El Dorado and brought the children to live with him.

The man said she moved herself and her children to an undisclosed location to hide from Jimenez-Salas, the newspaper reported.

KDFW-TV reported the sisters are under the age of 10.

#1  Very last paragraph:
Jimenez-Salas was an undocumented immigrant who was deported in 2000 after he was arrested on charges similar to the ones out of Arkansas, according to media reports. It’s unclear when he returned to the United States.

-Great Cultural Revolution
Condo Association Says Resident's American Flag Is Too Noisy, Threatens Fines
[BREITBART] A condo association in Fargo, North Dakota, has threatened ongoing fines to a resident for the flapping sounds his flag makes on windy days.

Andrew Almer, like many Americans, hangs an American flag outside his home. "It’s something I’ve always wanted when I owned a home," Almer told Fox 13 on Friday. "Having an American flag in the yard is just an American thing — that pride to have." Now it looks like the patriotic display could cost him.

Almer has kept the flag displayed for a good portion of his five-year stay. "I don’t really take it down," he said. "It’s been lit up every night and it’s an all-weather flag, so you follow the guidelines and it’s been up for two years straight, almost." Almer said he received his first official complaint about the flag in January.

"The first letter I got, I laughed, because I just thought, ’This is ridiculous,’" he said. "You cannot tell me somebody is complaining about a flapping flag in the wind." It was not, however, a joke. A second letter followed, and Almer has now been threatened with $200-per-day fines if it is not removed. "When I got this second letter I thought, ’Oh my God, she’s serious," he said.

And the law seems to be on Almer’s side. The Federal Freedom to Display the American Flag Act of 2005 prevents any homeowner’s association from restricting the display of Old Glory on their property, regardless of flapping. "You’ve got to be kidding me," Almer told Valley News Live. "With everything that’s going on in the world these days and this is what you’re going to complain about?"

Miami sets earlier curfew after spring break crowds, fights
[APNEWS] Officials are imposing an emergency 8 p.m.-6 a.m. curfew for Miami Beach, effective immediately after hard-partying spring break crowds trashed restaurants, brawled in the streets and gathered by the thousands without masks or social distancing, according to authorities.

At a news conference, officials blamed overwhelming and out-of-control spring break crowds for the curfew, which was taking effect Saturday night in South Beach, one of the nation’s top party spots. Tourists and hotel guests are being told to stay indoors during curfew hours.

It’s unclear how long the curfew will remain in effect, but Interim City Manager Raul Aguila told the Miami Herald that he recommends keeping the rules in place through at least April 12. A countywide midnight curfew was already in place due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

"These crowds are in the thousands," Aguila said. "We’re at capacity."

#2  Of course the NYT and the rest of the media will try to spin this as a COVID fable with DeSantis as Snidely Whiplash.

In reality it's feral yout -- and not so yout -- doing what feral yout do. In Chicago, in Baltimore, in Brooklyn, in Oakland, in Philly, in NE D.C.

Zero to do with masks or travel restrictions or curfews or COVID.

This is just another compelling example of why we need to stop the shakedowns and the forced confessions and then contain these savages and separate them from the civilized, normal, unWoke majority. The sooner, the better.

Disaster in Libyan Hospital as Oxygen System Explodes
[LIBYAREVIEW] On Saturday, the medical oxygen supply system in the military field hospital in Ajdabiya went kaboom!, the cause of which is still unknown.In a press statement, the Director of the military field hospital in the city of Ajdabiya, Abdul al-Aali Zaqzaq, reported that seven COVID-19 patients were transferred from the field hospital to the Mohammed el-Magariaf Central Teaching Hospital to complete the necessary treatment.
"Anybody got a smoke?"
Zaqzaq confirmed that the earth-shattering kaboom did not result in the injury on any patient. However,
if you can't say something nice about a person some juicy gossip will go well...
it led to the system’s suspension and damaged the oxygen tubes.

The incident, according to Zaqzaq, affected eight patients receiving treatment on the respirators at the hospital at the time of the accident, they are all safe and continuing their original treatment.

Cat thrown out of IDF base with kittens, finds her way back
[YNet] - A mother cat and her two baby kittens who were taken out of an IDF base in northern Israel and dumped in the woods, miraculously made their way back to the base after what was surely a tumultuous weekend for the animals.

...Fernanda was initially adopted by the soldiers from the Information and Communication Technology, who took care of the cat as if she was their pet.

But, after Fernanda gave birth to two healthy kittens, the division’s deputy commander ordered the feline to be thrown out of the base with her newborns.
You just terminated your military career, general.
The cruel act prompted the soldiers who took in Fernanda to file a complaint with several animal welfare agencies, including with the IDF’s own Animal Administration, which investigated the removal of the cat from the base.

After concluding that removing the feline and her kittens from her home was unlawful and contradictory to the IDF’s values, search teams were sent to the forest where Fernanda and her litter had been taken.

Despite having a large search party, the troops found hide nor hair of Fernanda and her little ones - which the rescuers assumed did not survive amid the cold weather and harsh conditions of the forest.

"We believed that at least the kittens are no longer alive due to their stay in the forest," a source who assisted the search said.

After searching for the cat all throughout the weekend, the ICT division’s soldiers returned disheartened to their barracks, only to find Fernanda cuddling with her kittens on the bed of one of the troops.
I'm guessing somebody taken them home instead of forest, and brought them back at the right time.

U.S. Navy expects MQ-25 Stingray to conduct approximately 960 annual flight operations
[DefenceBlog] The details were given in a 17 March release, to announce that the Navy has released a final Environmental Assessment (EA) and Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) for home basing of the MQ-25A Stingray carrier-based Unmanned Air System (Stingray CBUAS) at Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC) Point Mugu, California.

The Proposed Action is to establish facilities and functions at NBVC Point Mugu, California, to support home basing and operations of the MQ-25A Stingray CBUAS. Under the Proposed Action, the Navy would home base 20 Stingray CBUAS; construct a hangar, training facilities, and supporting infrastructure; perform air vehicle maintenance; provide training for operators and maintainers; conduct approximately 960 Stingray CBUAS annual flight operations; and station approximately 730 personnel, plus their family members.

The Stingray will enhance aircraft carrier capability and versatility through the integration of a persistent, sea-based, multi-mission aerial refueling and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance unmanned aerial system into the carrier air wing. The Stingray will extend the range and reach of carrier air wings on the West Coast to meet current and future threats and enhance refueling and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance capabilities in support of national defense objectives and policies.

Based on analysis presented in the EA, which has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act, and in consultation with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and California Coastal Commission, the Navy finds that implementation of the Proposed Action will not significantly impact the quality of the human environment. Therefore, an environmental impact statement is not required.

20 Useless Body Parts (Why Do / Did We Need Them?)
[bloggingwv] EXTRINSIC EAR MUSCLES
This trio of muscles most likely made it possible for prehominids to move their ears independently of their heads, as rabbits and dogs do. We still have them, which is why most people can learn to wiggle their ears.

WISDOM TEETH
Early humans had to chew a lot of plants to get enough calories to survive, making another row of molars helpful. Only about 5 percent of the population has a healthy set of these third molars.

NECK RIB
A set of cervical ribs—possibly leftovers from the age of reptiles—still appear in less than 1 percent of the population. They often cause nerve and artery problems.

THIRD EYELID
A common ancestor of birds and mammals may have had a membrane for protecting the eye and sweeping out debris. Humans retain only a tiny fold in the inner corner of the eye.

DARWIN’S POINT
A small folded point of skin toward the top of each ear is occasionally found in modern humans. It may be a remnant of a larger shape that helped focus distant sounds.
