[Breitbart] CNN reported 1,606 were shot, with 261 of the shooting victims dying from their wounds.
They noted 770 people were killed in Chicago throughout all of 2020 and the city is on track to surpass that number.
John Lausch, U.S. Attorney for the North District of Illinois noted that one of the reasons for the shootings is that offenders do not fear consequences.
Lausch said, “People are emboldened, our violent offenders are, they’re not afraid of getting caught and they’re not afraid of the consequences of when they’re caught.”
CNN points out black victims are predominant, “As of mid-June, the homicide rate for Black Chicagoans was nine times higher than for any other demographic.”
HeyJackass.com notes 2991 people have been shot and wounded in Lightfoot’s Chicago this year, and another 622 have been shot and killed.
Over 90 people were shot and killed in Chicago during the month of September.
Chicago recently placed “Bleeding Control Kits” in certain places in the city, giving gunshot victims “a tourniquet, gauze, shears, gloves and an instruction manual on how to best use,” the Hill reported

New Illinois law subjects trampoline parks to inspection, background checks
According to unreliable sources, it is common in the black community for parents to give young black males "The Talk" - a frank warning about the dangers they face from unlicensed trampolines and how they should *always* look for an up-to-date inspection sticker lest they become a victim of trampoline violence. And don't be sassing the city Trampoline Inspectors!

From people of gunshot, a dictum
On how you're allowed to depict 'em:
"The location or roles
Or the number of holes,
Or of souls, doesn't make one a victim."
[FOXNEWS] Texas authorities say an armed customer intervened during the attempted robbery of a fried chicken fast food restaurant, fatally wounding one gunman and sending a second suspect struck by gunfire to the hospital. "Gimme all yer cash! And... ummm... two orders of chicken to go... Yeah, crispy!..."
[BANG!]
Port Arthur police responded around 8:45 p.m. Friday to an aggravated robbery happening at the Church’s Chicken location at 1849 Jefferson Drive. Detectives learned that two suspects armed with handguns were robbing the restaurant, but an armed citizen intervened and a shootout ensued. "... and some nachos bel grande..."
"We don't have those here. We're a chicken joint!"
[BANG!]
"Several shots were fired and both suspects were struck," the Port Arthur Police Department said in a blurb. "The suspects expeditiously departed at a goodly pace and were later located by coppers." "Should we call for the Apache tracker, chief?"
"I don't think that's necessary. Wipe the blood off your shoes before it sets!"
One of the suspects was later pronounced dead at an area hospital, Dr. Quincy police said. The second was located at Normandy Apartments, KFDM reported, and was brought to the emergency room for treatment. "See? All we hadda do was follow the trail of blood!"
The armed citizen remained at the scene, was questioned by detectives and then released. ... with a pat on the back and a complimentary gun cleaning kit.
The incident is still under active investigation by Port Arthur Police’s Criminal Investigations Division. It happened just a day after another armed robbery at a Jack in the Box in the same town, Port Arthur Police Chief Tim Duriso told KFDM it was not immediately clear whether the same two suspects were responsible.

[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] A light aircraft piloted by Romanian billionaire Dan Petrescu crashed into an empty office building near Milan on Sunday, killing him, his wife and their son, and all five others aboard, Italian media reported.The single-engine Pilatus PC-12 had taken off from Milan's Linate airport shortly after 1:00 pm (1100 GMT) headed for Olbia in the north of the Italian island of Sardinia.
It crashed just a few minutes later in San Donato Milanese, a town southeast of Milan, according to aviation agency ANSV, which has opened an investigation.
Witnesses said the plane was already in flames before it crashed into an office building undergoing renovations.
Petrescu, 68, was one of Romania's richest men. He headed a major construction firm and owned a string of hypermarkets and malls. He also held Germany nationality, the Corriere della Sera newspaper reported.
Corriere and the AGI news agency said Petrescu's 65-year-old wife, who also had French nationality, and their son Dan Stefano, 30, were killed, as well as a child.
Milan Mayor Beppe Sala and his San Donato counterpart Andrea Checchi headed to the scene.
Deputy prosecutor Tiziana Siciliano was quoted by Corriere as saying that the plane's black box had been recovered.

[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] A London police officer has been charged with rape, the force announced on Sunday, just days after another officer was convicted of the rape and murder of a woman in a case that has rocked the country.Police Constable David Carrick, 46, is due in court on Monday, having been arrested on Saturday and suspended the same day, said London Metropolitan Police.
The news of Carrick's arrest was announced as the government and the police are still trying to deal with the fallout from the conviction of 48-year-old Wayne Couzens.
Couzens was jugged Maw! They're comin' to get me, Maw! Thursday for the rest of his life after falsely arresting Sarah Everard on the pretence she had broken coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague) ...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men... restrictions, then raping and murdering her.
Both Carrick and Couzens worked for the London police unit responsible for protecting parliament and diplomats. Over the weekend, the Met confirmed that Couzens had been approved for armed patrols of parliament on five occasions last year.
The head of the London Metropolitan Police, Commissioner Cressida Dick, said she was "deeply concerned" at the news of the arrest and charging of Carrick.
"I fully recognize the public will be very concerned too," she added. "Criminal proceedings must now take their course so I am unable to comment any further at this stage."
Social media has been flooded with posts from women relating their own experiences of harassment and assault and calling for firmer political action to protect women.
The London force -- Britannia's biggest -- has been widely criticized for advising women to flag down a passing bus if they are stopped by an officer they do not trust.
But British Prime Minister Boris Johnson ...pro-Brexit British prime minister, succeeding no-Brexit Theresa May. BoJo is noted as much for his sparkling personality and his hair as for his Conservative policies.... backed that advice in a BBC interview.
"My view is that the police do -- overwhelmingly -- a wonderful job," he said, calling on "women of all ages to trust the police".

[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] North and South Korea restored a stalled communication hotline after weeks of a hiatus in a small, fragile reconciliation step Monday, as the North pushes hard to win outside concessions with a mix of conciliatory gestures and missile tests.Liaison officials from the two Koreas exchanged messages over a cross-border communication channel on Monday morning, Seoul’s Unification Ministry said.
The two Koreas are expected to restore other communication channels running across their tense border later Monday as they have both previously expressed their intentions to reopen them.
The phone and fax channels — which the rival Koreas use to set up meetings, arrange border crossings and avoid accidental festivities — have been largely dormant for more than a year. Communications were briefly revived for about two weeks this summer, but North Korea ...hereditary Communist monarchy distinguished by its truculence and periodic acts of violence. Distinguishing features include Songun (Army First) policy, which involves feeding the army before anyone but the Dear Leadership, and Juche, which is Kim Jong Il's personal interpretation of Marxism-Leninism, which he told everybody was brilliant. In 1950 the industrialized North invaded agrarian South Korea. Twenty-one countries of the United Nations eventually contributed to the UN force opposing the invasion, with the United States providing around 90% of the military personnel. Seventy years later the economic results are in and it doesn't look good for Juche... later refused to exchange messages again after Seoul staged annual military drills with Washington that it views as an invasion rehearsal.
"The South Korean authorities should make positive efforts to put the North-South ties on a right track and settle the important tasks which must be prioritized to open up the bright prospect in the future, bearing deep in mind the meaning of the restoration of communication lines," the North’s official Korean Central News Agency said ahead of the hotline’s restoration.
Seoul’s Unification Ministry said the hotline’s reconnection laid a foundation for the restoration of ties between the two Koreas and stability on the Korean Peninsula. A ministry statement said Seoul hopes the two Koreas will resume talks soon to discuss how to implement previous cooperation agreements and establish a peace on the Korean Peninsula.
Last week, North Korea leader Kim Pudge Jong-un ...the overweight, pouty-looking hereditary potentate of North Korea. Pudge appears to believe in his own divinity, but has yet to produce any loaves and fishes, so his subjects remain malnourished... expressed his willingness to reactivate the communication channels, saying he wanted to realize the Korean people’s desire to promote peace on the peninsula. But Kim urged Seoul to abandon a "double-dealing attitude" and "hostile viewpoint" over North Korea's recent missile tests and other developments while shrugging off US offers for dialogue as a "cunning" concealment of its hostility against North Korea.
Some experts say North Korea is trying to use South Korea’s desire to improve ties to pressure it to persuade the United States to relax punishing economic sanctions.
Separate from its peace overtures, North Korea has conducted a series of missile tests that were its first weapons launches in six months. The weapons tested include potentially nuclear-capable missiles that place South Korea and Japan, both key US allies, within striking distance.

The Hot Line is a joke....
North Korea has a 70 year history of saying 1 thing for PR & $$$$ and doing the total opposite once it acquires what it wants. eg. Clinton Nuke Deal, Obama Nuke Deal and etc...
[PUBLISH.TWITTER] The Chinese military flew 16 warplanes over waters south of Taiwan on Sunday as the US expressed concern about what it called China's "provocative military action" near the self-governing island that China claims.
China sent 38 warplanes into the area on Friday and 39 aircraft on Saturday, the most in a single day since Taiwan began releasing reports on the flights in September 2020. The flights came in daytime and nighttime sorties, and it wasn't clear if China was planning more flights on Sunday night.
A statement from US State Department spokesperson Ned Price warned that China's military activity near Taiwan risks miscalculation and undermines regional peace and stability.
"We urge Beijing to cease its military, diplomatic, and economic pressure and coercion against Taiwan," the statement said.
It added that the US, Taiwan's biggest supplier of arms, would continue to help the government maintain a sufficient self-defense capability.
China and Taiwan split in 1949 during a civil war in which the Communists took control of mainland China and the rival Nationalists set up a government on Taiwan, an island of 24 million people about 160 kilometers (100 miles) off the east coast.
China has been sending military planes into the area south of Taiwan on a frequent basis for more than a year. Taiwan's Defense Ministry said 12 fighter jets and four other military aircraft entered Taiwan's air defense identification zone on Sunday.
The ADIZ is not the same as Taiwan’s territorial airspace, but includes a far greater area that overlaps with part of China’s own air defense identification zone and even includes some of mainland China.
Democratic Taiwan’s 23 million people live under the constant threat of invasion by China, which views the island as its territory and has vowed to one day seize it, by force if necessary.
Under Chinese President Xi Jinping, Chinese warplanes are crossing into the ADIZ on a near-daily basis.
"China has been bellicose and damaging regional peace while engaging in many bullying acts," Taiwanese Premier Su Tseng-chang told news hounds on Saturday.
"It’s evident that the world, the international community, rejects such behaviors by China more and more."
Mass incursions used to be rare.
But in the last two years, Beijing has begun sending large sorties into Taiwan’s ADIZ to signal dissatisfaction at key moments — and to keep Taipei’s aging fighter fleet regularly stressed.
Last week, 24 Chinese warplanes flew into the area, after Taiwan applied to join a major trans-Pacific trade pact.
Friday’s show of force came the same week Beijing accused Britannia of "evil attentions" after it sent a frigate to sail through the Taiwan Strait.
China claims the strait as its own waterway, along with most of the disputed South China Sea. Most other nations view them as international waters open to all.
Beijing has ramped up pressure on Taipei since the 2016 election of Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen, who views the island as "already independent."
Last year, Chinese military jets made a record 380 incursions into Taiwan’s defense zone, and the number of breaches for the first nine months of this year has already exceeded 500.
The previous single-day record was on June 15, when 28 jets breached Taiwan’s ADIZ.
Xi has described Taiwan becoming part of the mainland as "inevitable."
United States military officials have begun to talk openly about fears that China could consider the previously unthinkable and invade.
Protection of Taiwan has become a rare bipartisan issue in Washington and a growing number of Western nations have begun joining the US in "freedom of navigation" exercises to push back on China’s claims to the South China Sea and Taiwan Strait.
Britannia sent a warship through the Taiwan Strait on Monday for the first time since 2008.
The Chinese People’s Liberation Army’s Eastern Theater Command accused Britannia of acting out of "evil intentions to sabotage peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait."
Alexander Huang, associate professor at Tamkang University in Taipei, said that he believed the latest aerial incursion was not just about sending a message to Taiwan.
"There’s three other carrier attack groups in the region, two American and one British," he told AFP.
"China is sending a political message to the US and UK on her national day: Don’t mess around in my area."
Canadian, French and Australian warships have all made voyages through the Taiwan Strait in recent years, sparking protests from China.

Sunday night:
FB manager: OK, all the datacenter managers should be on this encrypted call by now. Zuck?
Zuck: Right. OK, we've worked this out. At precisely 1530UTC, that's 0830PDT, we kill dns. That will instantly disconnect Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and all our other services from the world, along with the email, slack, and other connections used by our low level SREs and techs. At exactly the same time, the door card readers in all our facilities will go offline and all staff not already at work will be locked out. Those inside will be movement restricted. So it's critical that you be inside your facilities at that time and at the assigned locations.
[EN.ALGHADEERTV.NET] We may be in the tail end of 2021, but Microsoft is on the verge of releasing the latest edition of the non-subscription version of its office suite bearing this year in its name. Microsoft Office 2021 is due for release on October 5, the same day as Windows 11, and will be available for Windows and macOS. If you want Office without a subscription, you will have to be willing to pay upfront for Office 2021. Microsoft has now revealed that pricing starts at $50, but you could pay much more than this. I keep pointing out to people that Libre Office doesn't cost anything, does everything Microsoft Office does, and can write to Microsoft's formats. It comes in Windoze, Mac, and Linux versions, also Solaris and who knows what else.
For most people, Office Home and Student 2021 will be the version to go for. This includes Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, and Microsoft Teams and is priced at $149.95. But for anyone who needs Outlook, or who needs to use any of the Office apps for business purposes, there is Office Home and Business 2021 priced at $249.99. ... which is $249.99 more than zero dollars, or twenty five cases of beer...
Opting for the non-subscription version of Office does not mean missing out on a lot of important features and options. Office 2021 includes various collaborations features, for instance, such as real-time co-authoring, you can work with others in the same document at the same time. I never have had occasion to use those particular bells and whistles, but I understand Libre Office has them as well. Apache (the guys who developed the web server the Burg runs on) also has Open Office if you don't like the color scheme of Libre Office, which is a fork off an older version of Open Office.
Microsoft is using the launch of Windows 11 to encourage subscription-hating Office users to upgrade to Office 2021. The company says:
Both Microsoft 365 and Office 2021 run on Windows 11, Windows 10, and the three most recent versions of macOS. Note that Office 2013 won’t be supported on Windows 11, so now is the right time to upgrade to Microsoft 365 or Office 2021 if you’re planning to upgrade to Windows 11. Finally, to use Microsoft 365 or Office 2021, both a Microsoft account and an internet connection are required. You don't need a Linux account to download either Libre Office or Open Office.

I am still using Microsoft Office 97.
The 1997 version works pretty good on Windows XP.
Plus it is portable.
I have a 60 MB folder with Word and Excel that I can copy to any XP computer and run without installing.
I plan on upgrading to Excel to 2003 only to get the Analysis Toolpak Addin so I can convert from DEC2HEX for partitioning and formatting hard disks and for NTFS hacking work.

Our IT department likes the subscription version, which is useless for those of us in the field who much of the time have very limited internet access. And if you don't connect to the net often enough, they like to disable your laptop. Sometimes I wonder if they actually understand they work for an oilfield services company.

[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] An independent commission examining sex abuse within the Roman Catholic Church in La Belle France believes 3,000 child abusers — two-thirds of them priests — have worked in the church over the past 70 years.
The estimate was given by the commission president, Jean-Marc Sauvé, in an interview published Sunday in the newspaper Journal du Dimanche. The commission has been investigating for 2 1/2 years. Its full findings are scheduled to be released on Tuesday.
In the interview, Sauvé did not give a figure on the number of sex abuse victims but said the report does include a new estimate.
Asked about the commission's work investigating child abusers, he said: "We evaluated their number at 3,000, out of 11,500 priests and church people since the 1950s. Two-thirds are diocesan priests." A little better than a quarter...
He said 22 cases have been forwarded to prosecutors for alleged crimes that can still be pursued. More than 40 cases of alleged crimes that are too old to be prosecuted but that involve suspects who are still alive have been forwarded to church officials, Sauvé said.
"From 1950 to 1970, the church is completely indifferent to the victims: They don't exist, the suffering inflicted on children is ignored," the newspaper quoted him as saying. "The periods that followed were different."
He added: "Our objective is to furnish a concrete diagnosis of all the abuses, to identify the causes and draw all of the consequences."

11,500 seems a bit low. According to wickedpedia, "Total priests in 2006" (after a long decline): 20,523. In 1996 (use that for the average over the whole period): 27781.
If the working lifetime of a priest is about 30 years, scale that average by 2.3 to get 64,800 during that 70 years. Plus "church people."
I don't know what they mean by "church people", but it looks to me as though the total would be closer to 115,000 than 11,500.
