Shocking video shows bloody hatchet attack at Manhattan ATM
I understand that police can't be everywhere, and I wouldn't want them there. But they should be somewhere.
Their deBlasio-defined rules of engagement require them not to engage. So always being elsewhere follows.
[NYPOST] Disturbing new surveillance video shows the moment a 51-year-old man was brutally attacked by a hatchet-wielding maniac while at a Lower Manhattan ATM.

The footage, obtained by The Post on Tuesday, shows the victim at one of the ATMs inside a Chase Bank vestibule on Broadway near Beaver Street in the Financial District shortly before 5:30 p.m. Sunday when his attacker walks in, removes a hatchet from a dark bag, sneaks up behind him and begins slashing him.

The frightened and bloodied victim tries to fend off the brutal assault, falling to the floor several times as he futilely attempts to grab his crazed assailant’s weapon, the footage shows.

When the unidentified suspect is finished beating his victim, he smashes the screens of the cash-dispensing machines before walking away — and leaving the hatchet and his backpack behind, according to police.

The maimed man was hospitalized in stable, pH balanced condition, police said.

Cops hope the surveillance video helps them catch the maniac, sources said.

Video shows elderly Chicago woman ambushed, shot dead in her car

[NYPOST] A 70-year-old 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...
woman was ambushed and rubbed out by two button men while she sat in her car outside her job — with shocking surveillance video capturing the attack.Yvonne Ruzich was sitting in her vehicle shortly before 4:30 a.m. Monday waiting for the grocery store where she worked to open when the two men in hoodies walked up to her and opened fire, video released by Chicago police shows.

The maimed woman then hit the gas and crashed into a street sign — where the two men caught up with her and shot her multiple times.

Ruzich, a retired city sanitation worker, was pronounced dead at a local hospital, WMAQ-TV said in a report Tuesday.

Police have not determined a motive for the deadly early-morning attack outside Baltimore Food and Liquors in Chicago’s South Side — and are asking the public to help track down the suspects.

When I was at the State University of New York at Buffalo back in the late 1970s, we had a lot of kids from New York City who thought they wanted to get as far from home as possible while still getting a remarkably cheap education. More than half of them spent the first semester saying that repeatedly. The second semester they were enrolled in some school in The City.

#6  NYC pollutes the mind. I lived in a sublet there in the early 80's, haven't been back since. I went to CWRU in Cleveland for my undergrad because I knew there would be too many distractions I was already familiar with in Pissburgh, where I was born and went to private high school. I got my degree in 4 years, made a lot of friends, cultivated a lot of new distractions and I'd be there still if not for a job waiting back in SWPA when I graduated (there is a God) You are either able to leave your back yard or you are not.

Bob Dylan sued for allegedly sexually abusing 12-year-old girl in 1965
In 1965? 56 years ago? I can barely remember that far back. She'd better have a lot of photos of the two of them together nekkid.
[PAGESIX] Legendary singer and songwriter Bob Dylan plied a 12-year-old girl with drugs and alcohol before sexually abusing her at his Chelsea Hotel apartment in 1965, an explosive new lawsuit alleges.

The "Blowin’ in the Wind" musician allegedly used his star status to groom, gain the trust of and control the victim "as part of his plan to sexually molest and abuse" her, according to the Manhattan Supreme Court
...the political football known as The Highest Court in the Land, home of penumbrae and emanations...
papers, which only identify the plaintiff as "J.C."

"Bob Dylan, over a six-week period between April and May of 1965 befriended and established an emotional connection with the plaintiff," say the papers, which were filed late Friday on behalf of J.C., now a 68-year-old woman in Greenwich, Conn.

The suit alleges that Dylan — whose given name is Robert Allen Zimmerman — established the "connection" to "lower [J.C.’s] inhibitions with the object of sexually abusing her, which he did, coupled with the provision of drugs, alcohol and threats of physical violence, leaving her emotionally scarred and psychologically damaged to this day."

The alleged abuse by the now-81-year-old "Like a Rolling Stone" singer and songwriter occurred multiple times, and some of the incidents took place at the famed Chelsea Hotel, the suit claims.

So we have a 68+/- y/o woman now suing a
80-81 y/o rock star, for something she claims
happened 56 years ago????????

This must be some type of Legal World Record.
Because she took her time deciding.

BTW:
Where were her Parents during all this?

If it did happen, slap his butt in jail for the few
months he may still have to live being already 81.

If she is lying then slap her butt in jail.

Wildfires rage outside Athens, villages evacuated
[NYPOST] Two wildfires, fanned by strong winds, raged out of control near Athens on Monday, forcing the evacuation of villages, but there were no immediate reports of casualties.More than 500 wildfires have broken out in recent weeks across Greece, which, like other countries in the Mediterranean region including The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the occupiers of Greek Asia Minor...
and Tunisia, has seen some of its highest temperatures in decades.

On Monday, a blaze broke out on a mountain near the port town of Lavrio, about 60 km (40 miles) south of Athens, sending thick plumes of smoke above a busy beach, where windsurfers were riding the waves.

At least 91 firefighters, assisted by six water-bombing planes and six helicopters, tried to contain the fire, which broke out in an area of low vegetation and spread to pine trees. Three villages were ordered to evacuate.

Western states face first federal water cuts
[FoxNews] U.S. officials on Monday are expected to declare the first-ever water shortage from a river that serves 40 million people in the West, triggering cuts to some Arizona farmers next year amid a gripping drought.

Water levels at the largest reservoir on the Colorado River — Lake Mead — have fallen to record lows. Along its perimeter, a white "bathtub ring" of minerals outlines where the high water line once stood, underscoring the acute water challenges for a region facing a growing population and a drought that is being worsened by hotter, drier weather brought on by climate change.

States, cities, farmers and others have diversified their water sources over the years, helping soften the blow of the upcoming cuts. But if current conditions persist — or intensify — additional cuts in coming years will be more deeply felt.

Lake Mead was formed by building Hoover Dam in the 1930s. It is one of several man-made reservoirs that store water from the Colorado River, which supplies drinking water, irrigation for farms and hydropower to Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah, Wyoming and parts of Mexico.

But water levels at Lake Mead and Lake Powell, the river's two largest reservoirs, have been falling for years and faster than experts predicted. Scorching temperatures and less melting snow in the spring have reduced the amount of water flowing from the Rocky Mountains, where the river originates before it snakes 1,450 miles (2,334 kilometers) southwest and into the Gulf of California.

"We’re at a moment where we’re reckoning with how we continue to flourish with less water, and it’s very painful," said Sarah Porter, director of the Kyl Center for Water Policy at Arizona State University.

China-Japan-Koreas
Chinese state media chief calls for war with US over troop numbers in Taiwan
[AmericanMilitaryNews] Hu Xijin, the editor-in-chief of the Chinese state-run Global Times, tweeted a call for war after Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX)
(Now known as "The Pride of the United States Senate Select Committee on Intelligence")
mistakenly tweeted that there are 30,000 U.S. troops currently stationed in Taiwan.

In a now-deleted tweet sent on Tuesday, Cornyn said, 'US Troops Today in: South Korea — 28,000; Germany — 35,486; Japan — 50,000; Taiwan — 30,000; Africa — 7,000; Afghanistan (month or 2 ago) — 2,500.' Responding to Cornyn’s post, Hu tweeted, 'Now, the US and the Taiwan authorities must explain. If it is true that the US has 30,000, or less than that number, soldiers stationed on the Taiwan island, Chinese military forces will immediately launch a war to eliminate and expel the US soldiers.'
The Drums of War become louder.

Texas murder suspect released after massive police data loss puts trial evidence in jeopardy
[FoxNews] A Texas murder suspect charged in a deadly 2019 shooting at a Dallas hotel was released back onto the streets Monday without having to pay bond after a massive data deletion at the police department left prosecutors clamoring to review whether any evidence tying him to the slaying was lost.

Jonathan "P-Money" Pitts, accused of fatally shooting Shun "Big Youngster" Handy during an argument on Jan. 28, 2019, was seen wearing a mask and an ankle monitor on Monday while walking out of the Frank Crowley Courts Building in Dallas.

District Judge Ernie White was forced to release him on a personal recognizance bond, the Dallas Morning News reported. Under state law, pretrial detention is prohibited when prosecutors aren’t ready to begin trial on the scheduled date, Pitts’ defense attorney, George Ashford III, said.

His trial was supposed to begin last Thursday, but prosecutors are seeking more time as a city audit is conducted into the loss of eight terabytes of data, which the Dallas Police Department said was permanently deleted months ago when a city IT employee was migrating police evidence from a cloud system to another server.

Dallas City Manager T.C. Broadnax said the data loss included photos, videos, audio, case notes and other files related to a yet-to-be determined number of cases.

Just one terabyte alone is capable of storing 250,000 photos and 6 million documents, Fox 4 reported.

The deletion happened between March 31 and April 5, but the Dallas Police Department did not make District Attorney John Creuzot’s office aware of the loss of data until about two weeks ago when prosecutors from different cases began inquiring about missing evidence.

Dallas police do not believe any evidence was lost in connection to Pitts’ case, but a detective told the judge the morning the trial was set to begin that he could not be sure until the city audit was completed. It’s unclear at this whether the data loss will prevent prosecution from moving forward.

#5  eight terabytes of data, which the Dallas Police Department said was permanently deleted months ago when a city IT employee was migrating police evidence from a cloud system to another server.

This smells fishy. The whole point of a cloud is things don't get deleted permanently. Also the should be a back up of the data pre-migration before the data is actually moved.
