[INSIDER] Two teenage girls have been charged with murder after they stunned an Uber Eats driver with a Taser, attempted to carjack him, then crashed the vehicle and killed him, according to DC police.
The girls, 13 and 15, were charged in family court with felony murder while armed, second-degree murder while armed, carjacking, and reckless driving, according to ABC7. One was also charged with possession of a Taser.
A DC homicide detective testified in family court that one of the girls said the pair had agreed in advance to meet up at a Metro station and do a carjacking together, ABC 7 reported.
Since the girls are being charged as juveniles, their names and personal information remain private.
The victim was 66-year-old Mohammad Anwar. A GoFundMe page set up by his family described him as "a hard-working Pak immigrant who came to the United States to create a better life for him and his family."
The page added that Anwar had been making an Uber Eats delivery when the deadly attack occurred.
Filmed by a bystander, a highly disturbing video circulating online appeared to show the lead-up to and aftermath of the crash. Anwar could be seen struggling with the girls, who were seated in the driver and passenger seats, as he tried to get back in his car.
Anwar and other bystanders could be heard yelling that the girls were trying to steal the vehicle. At one point, the car suddenly zoomed down the street, with Anwar hanging out of the driver's side door, clinging to the frame. The car then crashed at the end of the street and flipped onto its side.

Amazing video. Especially the aftermath. Having stolen scar and murdered its owner, the female juvenile swine in the pink sweatshirt says, "My phone is in there."
Let that sink in. This thing just killed a man, and it's worried about its phone.

Was she concerned about leaving her phone behind or about leaving phone-shaped evidence behind? Really hard to play not me with your phone inside the crashed vehicle of a person you'd never met before.

[EpochTimes] Republican South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem signed into law three bills concerning gun ownership and the use of deadly force earlier this week, fortifying Second Amendment protections for gun owners in the state.
The laws include restrictions for gun seizure and fee reductions for concealed-carry permits, as well as clarification for the use of deadly force for self-defense—also known as the "stand your ground" law.
"A person is justified in using or threatening to use deadly force if the person reasonably believes that using or threatening to use deadly force is necessary to prevent imminent death or great bodily harm to himself, herself, or another, or to prevent the imminent commission of a forcible felony," reads House Bill 1212.
"A person who uses or threatens to use deadly force in accordance with this section does not have a duty to retreat and has the right to stand his or her ground, if the person using or threatening to use the deadly force is (1) Not engaged in a criminal activity; and (2) In a place where the person has a right to be," the legislation states.
[AtlasObscura] Ziaulhaq Ahmadi sits on the floor of his small, one-story house, a brown, mud-walled compound at the end of a dusty alley in Aqa Saray. Surrounded by vineyards, fruit trees, and snow-capped mountains, the village is a half hour’s drive north of Kabul, Afghanistan’s capital. With great gentleness, he taps on what looks like a sealed mud bowl until it cracks open.
Ahmadi, 45, reveals a handful of grapes from inside the mud container. They have been there, he explains, since harvest time, nearly five months ago, and kept for Nowruz, the Persian New Year, which is celebrated on the spring equinox. After all these months, his grapes still look perfect, and are perfectly fresh.
A proud smile forms on his wrinkled face. “We use an ancient preservation technique,” he says.
Afghans developed this method of food preservation, which uses mud-straw containers and is known as kangina, centuries ago in Afghanistan’s rural north. Thanks to the technique, people in remote communities who can’t afford imported produce are able to enjoy fresh fruit in winter months. But even in villages like Ahmadi’s, near the capital, the tradition is kept alive for good reason. “Have you ever seen another method that can keep grapes fresh for nearly half a year?” Ahmadi asks with a laugh.

[Conde Nast Traveler] Shelf-stable, nutrient-packed, and immediately edible, tinned fish is a no-brainer pandemic food—at least that’s how friends Becca Millstein and Caroline Goldfarb saw it while they were quarantining in Los Angeles. As lifelong tinned fish lovers, they noticed a growing enthusiasm for preserved foods at their local wine or cheese shop, often packaged in chic, whimsical tins worthy of collecting. And while the pantry staple is everywhere in Portugal and Spain, Millstein and Goldfarb saw a gap between the high-end European versions and the mass-market options in the U.S., where many still consider tinned fish to be more of a bunker food than something meant to be elegantly displayed on a cheese board.

[Garden & Gun] Largely the domain of foragers, the biggest edible fruit in the South has mostly been forgotten. A quietly obsessed Quaker from West Virginia has made it his life’s mission to change that
Twenty-five Years ago, I was walking the woods along the Potomac not two miles from the White House with my foraging mentor, a cranky, gravel-voiced woman named Paula Smith. "It’s a weird tree, okay?" she called over her shoulder as we walked into the gloom of the woods. "The flowers are sorta liver colored and don’t smell too good. That’s ’cause they get pollinated by scavenger insects, blowflies and beetles. You really want to help them out, you hang some roadkill in the tree."
I was suddenly less interested in finding and eating the largest edible fruit in North America, but I didn’t want to tell her that. We soon found a cluster of the spindly brown trees, but none that had fruit. "A lot of ’em don’t produce," she said. "They need the right amount of water at the right time." The next cluster—each stand of trees is often a single organism, she explained—had bunches of green fruit the size of baked potatoes. Smith told me to shake the tree. "But gently," she barked. "Not like the friggin’ yuppies who come out here and break the trees." I shook and two pawpaws thudded down, one glancing off the side of my head. I looked at her accusingly. "Oh yeah, that happens," she said nonchalantly. "Wear a hat. And look up when you shake."
Pawpaws are native from Ontario to northern Florida, as far west as SE Nebraska and eastern Texas. It likes deep loam soil, which explains why the ones I planted in my heavily clay woods here in Cincinnati died after struggling for a year.
