Who was that masked man ?
[Komo News] MARYSVILLE, Wa - A wild scene unfolded at a Marysville business when two shoppers tried to stop what police describe as two shoplifters. Police say two shoppers fired their guns at a getaway car during a robbery at the store.
The shoplifters were arrested. But the investigation is far from over. The shooting terrified Monica Medina. She was taking a customer’s order at the time at Playa Bonita Mexican Restaurant.
"Like pow pow pow!" said Medina "When I hear it, I go outside in the kitchen."
Brandy Sundin immediately locked her the doors.
"We had two customers and went in the back and locked ourselves in," siad Sundin.
And Davin Tuninga was inside Wagner Jewelers when she heard the commotion.
"It was weird. It was weird. All I heard was ’bang, bang, bang" like that and I saw a gal running to her car," said Tuninga.
Police say two people stole power tools from Coastal Farm and Ranch store on State Avenue late Saturday afternoon. When they got to their car in the parking lot, a shopper tried to confront them and showed them his gun. The accused shoplifters struck that man with their car as they took off, according to police.
That's when two more shoppers carrying guns confronted the thieves. The armed citizens fired several shots, taking out two tires on the getaway car. Fortunately, no one was hurt.
"Good that they did that. But, what if there had been kids around," said Tuninga.
The accused thieves ditched their car a few blocks away. But officers and a K-9 tracked them down. Police say the suspects, both from Everett, now face felony robbery charges.
The two shoppers who fired the shots didn’t stick around to talk to officers. Investigators want to talk to those unknown armed bystanders to get their statements.

Seems they have better range time than the men in uniform. IIRC some of NYC finest, a while back, let loose a volley in an incident striking bystanders but missed the perp.
[Oregonian] WASHINGTON - A man from Germany was arrested Sunday after an officer with the Secret Service saw him pull down his pants and expose himself as he posed for a picture in front of the White House, according to D.C. police.
Sebastian Hares, 34, of Heidelberg, Germany, was charged with indecent exposure. He was issued a citation that orders him to appear in court at a later date to answer the charge. He was then released.
Police said in a report that the incident occurred about 1:30 a.m. in the 1600 block of Pennsylvania Avenue, the pedestrian area in front of the White House.
The report says a uniformed Secret Service officer saw four people getting their picture taken by another person. "One individual . . . turned his back to the cameraman and was then facing the south toward the White House," the reports says. The suspect "proceeded to lower his pants and undergarment."
Efforts to reach Hares on Monday were unsuccessful.

He should get down on his knees in thanks that he did this (idiotic) gesture in the (quote)fascist U.S.A. (un-quote) instead of some place like Turkey...

A blond arose over the pond
Who was overly fond of his Mond,
But before he was gone,
High above the North Lawn
Shone a huge orange moon. "You've been Donned."

Do away with separate "Mens" and "Womens" sports. All for one and one for all. You don't like that? Then take your civilization back from the wreckers.

Yup Frank this is the normalizing of insanity.
Moynihan named it years ago "Defining deviancy down."
[RT] A surge in earthquakes have been plaguing Sicily after Europe’s highest and most active volcano began spewing lava from a new fracture. Mount Etna's eruption covered nearby villages in ash and shut down the Catania airport.
Mount Etna marked Christmas celebrations with a spike in seismic activity, causing a new fracture to open up at the base of a southeast crater at around 11 am Monday morning. Soon after, lava flows began pouring out of the crack, eventually sending an ash column spewing eastward into the sky. People on the mountainside were urged to evacuate the area immediately.

This could have been stopped if Trump didn't pull out of the Paris accord!
[The Hill] A Mexican governor and her husband, a federal senator, died in a helicopter crash on Monday, according to multiple reports.
A helicopter holding Martha Erika Alonso, the new governor of Puebla state and her husband, Mexican Senator Rafael Moreno, came down near the state capital of Pubela, Reuters reported, citing a local newspaper.
Alonso is a member of the National Action Party (PAN). She took office earlier this month.
Moreno was previously the governor of Puebla for five years between 2011 and 2017, according to Reuters.
Reports did not immediately indicate what caused the crash or if the pilot was harmed.

From the BBC: The accident comes after a number of high-profile deaths in helicopter crashes over the years in Mexico, including Interior Minister Francisco Blake Mora in 2011, the BBC's Will Grant reports.
Earlier this year, 13 people died when a minister's helicopter crashed into a crowd, although the minister himself survived, our correspondent says. Coincidences?
[DAWN] In a stunning turnaround Islamabad staged a sensational entry into the knockout phase of the National T20 Cup by depriving Multan Home of the Multan Sultans... a semi-final place after sealing a clinical seven-wicket victory in Multan on Sunday.
Before start of play on the last day of the league-round fixtures, Islamabad were rooted to the bottom of the eight-team standings with a dismal net run-rate of -0.019 while Multan ‐ with three wins already in their bag just needed to beat their opponents to qualify ‐ were placed fourth with a +0.117 run-rate.
However, a person who gets all wrapped up in himself makes a mighty small package... the above-mentioned permutations changed dramatically when Islamabad produced an inspiring team effort to not just score their third victory but momentously pushed Multan out of the last-four race on the basis of a superior net run-rate of +0.140, while Multan finished with a -0.087 run-rate in the final calculations.

seven-wicket
Ah ha! That’s cricket, then. Imran Khan must either be happy or sad, depending. But either way, he is not concentrating on his day job, for which we all should be properly thankful.
[The College Fix] Here’s a warning to all those politically correct “woke” guys out there who jump on feminist bandwagons at a moment’s notice: Girls don’t dig you.
That’s what new research suggests, at any rate.
A study in the Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin says that women prefer men who display “benevolent” sexist attitudes because these indicate men are willing to make an investment — “protect, provide, and commit” — in a relationship.
Dr. David Ley in Psychology Today notes this “benevolent sexism” is “overtly less hostile and misogynistic” than typical sexism, and includes characteristics like believing “women should be ‘put on a pedestal,’” “women should be cherished and protected by men,” and “women are more virtuous than men.”
However, not is all beer and skittles with the concept. Utilizing different experiments, researchers Pelin Gul and Tom Kupfer found that although women found BS men more enticing, they also thought they were more “undermining and patronizing [and] were more likely to place restrictions on the women.”

Women who want a man rather than a boy, what an evolutionary concept. Though the Instaprof has a running blog category, Teaching Women Not to Rape, which documents that some women do prefer boys.
[Ynet] Basketball champion sorry for posting quote from 21 Savage song: 'We been getting that Jewish money, everything is Kosher'; says he meant it as a compliment.
American basketball champion Lebron James apologized Sunday for posting anti-Semitic rap lyrics on his massively popular Instagram account over the weekend.
"Apologies, for sure, if I offended anyone," James told ESPN, referring to his post with lyrics including the words "getting that Jewish money" on his account, which has 45.8 million followers.
The lyrics are from the song "ASMR" by hip-hop artist 21 Savage. James posted the lyrics, "We been getting that Jewish money, everything is Kosher," onto his Instagram Stories on Saturday, while riding as a passenger in a vehicle clad in a purple sweatshirt of his team the LA Lakers.
"That's not why I chose to share that lyric; I always (post lyrics), that's what I do. I ride in my car, I listen to great music and that was the byproduct of it," he said. "So, I actually thought it was a compliment and obviously it wasn't through the lens of a lot of people; my apologies. It definitely was not the intent, obviously, to hurt anybody."
After sports business news hound Darren Rovell of The Action Network posted a screen shot of the athlete's Instagram story to Twitter on Sunday, James received some criticism online.
But the world-famous player said that he viewed the lyric as complimentary towards Jewish people for their reputed business acumen. However, there's more than one way to stuff a chicken... the historic stereotype linking Jewish people to money makes it understandable that many would find the lyrics offensive.
"Historically, Jewish materialism was used by anti-Semites seeking to demean the value of Judaism," Yale professor Eliyahu Stern told the Times of Israel in August 2018. "It's often been used as a way of delegitimizing Judaism's spiritual and religious values by those who depict Judaism as a cover for hoarding, egoism, and an expression of difference."
Many of Lebron's fans came to his defense, arguing that he cannot be accused of anti-Semitism for merely sharing somebody else's lyrics. But Rovell asked if "quoting lyrics from a song absolve the person quoting from the responsibility behind the words? I’d argue no, especially with a following of 45 million."

Why don't you aspire to be more like the Jews? The most outcast of all? The most successful of all.
Reliant on GOD, Family, and Tribe. Who could blame them? The eternal diaspora.
Why don't you stop listing to the college toadie trolls and form an original thought in your time when you learn something and have re-proofed and corrected it.

ALSO - Outkick The Coverage report: Last night LeBron James compared NFL owners to slavemasters further cementing his status as the dumbest man in athletics who has ever been taken seriously as smart by woke sports media obsessed with pretending a man with a high school education who has never made an intelligent statement unrelated to basketball is somehow the Albert Einstein of our era.
What’s most remarkable about the commentary is that it occurred on a taped television show airing on HBO meaning LeBron and his posse viewed this footage and considered it to be worthy of airing on television. Again, this wasn’t an offhanded comment uttered in jest in a locker room after a game, it was taped footage that was chosen out of hours of commentary to be featured on a television show.
Here is exactly what was said:
“In the NFL they got a bunch of old white men owning teams, and they got that slave mentality. And it’s like, ‘This is my team. You do what the fuck I tell y’all to do or we get rid of y’all.’
“The players are who make the ship go. We make it go. Every Sunday, without Todd Gurley and without Odell Beckham, Jr. without those players, those guys, there is no football. And it’s the same in the NBA.”
The comments are so dumb and so uneducated it’s amazing that anyone can take them seriously.
But many in our modern day WokeCenter media will take them seriously so let’s unpack this stupidity once and for all.

This is what happens when you grow up hearing 'you're so freaking wonderful, LeBron' all of your life - eventually you start believing it.
21 Savage says the Jews he knows are ‘very wise’ with their finances ‘so that’s why I said we been gettin’ Jewish money’.
The tweet by 21 Savage, whose real name is Shayaa Bin Abraham-Joseph, came after James apologized for sharing the video of himself singing the rapper’s song “Asmr” and removed the post from his Instagram account.
