-Lurid Crime Tales-
Hundreds of Feral Youth Riot at Six Flags Over Georgia
[TODDSTARNES] As many as 600 teenagers, most of them black, rioted Saturday night at Six Flags Over Georgia. At least one teen was shot.

Cobb County officers said between 500-600 teens were "running through the park and fighting." At one point the crowd opened fire on officers as they ran onto Six Flags Parkway.

At some point, "multiple people began shooting, hitting an unoccupied CCPD marked patrol car," according to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation.

"As officers identified where the shots were coming from, they ran after people who had run into the woods. During the incident, one CCPD officer fired his weapon, hitting one minor," according to the GBI.

Social media footage obtained by Fox 5 Atlanta captured nearly a dozen people kicking and punching a person on the ground before several bravely ran away, leaving the beaten-up individual lying motionless.

"It is incredibly disappointing that our community is disrupted at public events throughout the region by groups of underaged youth," Six Flags Over Georgia said in a statement to Fox 5 Atlanta.

"Just like other venues in the area, we are committed to keeping this type of trouble outside our park and off our property. There was police activity involving gunshots; we want to confirm there was no shooting at our property or parking lot. This took place on South Service Road that is not owned or operated by Six Flags. However,
there is a theory which states that if ever anybody discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened...
we join our community and the Atlanta region in our commitment to safety and security. We won’t put up with that type of activity here."

The Laws regarding the age for prosecution on minors need to be lowered, or a clear addendum added to REQUIRE mental evaluation of age.

Arabia
3 Red Sea data cables cut amid continued Houthi attacks in vital waterway
[IsraelTimes] Three cables under the Red Sea that provide global internet and telecommunications have been cut as the waterway remains a target of Yemen
...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of...
’s Iran's Houthi sock puppets
...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The legitimate Yemeni government has accused the them of having ties to the Iranian government. Honest they did. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews They like shooting off... ummm... missiles that they would have us believe they make at home in their basements. On the plus side, they did murder Ali Abdullah Saleh, which was the only way the country was ever going to be rid of him...
rebels, officials say.

What cut the lines remains unclear. There has been concern about the cables being targeted in the Houthi campaign, which the rebels describe as an effort to pressure Israel to end its war on Hamas
...not a terrorist organization, even though it kidnaps people, holds hostages, and tries to negotiate by executing them,...
in the Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
Strip. The Houthis have denied attacking the lines, however.

While global shipping has already been disrupted through the Red Sea, a crucial route for cargo and energy shipments from Asia and the Middle East to Europe, the sabotage of telecommunication lines could further escalate the monthslong crisis.

The cut lines include Asia-Africa-Europa
...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum...
1, the Europe India Gateway, Seacom and TGN-Gulf, Hong Kong-based HGC Global Communications says. It describes the cuts as affecting 25% of the traffic flowing through the Red Sea. It describes the Red Sea route as crucial for data moving from Asia to Europe and said it had begun rerouting traffic.

HGC Global Communications describes the Seacom-TGN-Gulf line as being two separate cables when it is actually one at the area of the cut, according to Tim Stronge, a subsea cable expert with TeleGeography, a Washington-based telecommunications market research company.

Responding to questions from The News Agency that Dare Not be Named, Seacom says that "initial testing indicates the affected segment lies within Yemeni maritime jurisdictions in the Southern Red Sea." It says it’s rerouting the traffic that it was able to change, though some services were down.

Tata Communications, part of the Indian conglomerate and behind the Seacom-TGN-Gulf line, tells AP that it "initiated immediate and appropriate remedial actions" after the line was cut.

"We invest in various cable consortiums to increase our diversity and hence in such situations of a cable cut or snag, we are able to automatically reroute our services," Tata says.

Other firms behind those lines, which provide data to Africa, Asia and the Middle East, didn’t respond to AP’s queries.

Caribbean-Latin America
Catastrophe in Haiti as street clashes tear city apart, thousands of inmates escape in two separate prison breaks
More on this story from yesterday.
[NYPOST] Haiti’s government declared a state of emergency on Sunday evening, following violent mostly peaceful festivities in the capital that have damaged communications and led to two prison breaks as a major gang leader seeks to oust Prime Minister Ariel Henry.

In order to restore order, the government has imposed with immediate effect a curfew throughout the West territory for a "renewable period of seventy-two hours," the statement said.

"Between six in the evening and five in the morning on Monday 4, Tuesday 5, Wednesday 6 and this Sunday, March 3 2024," the curfew will apply.

Law enforcement, firefighters, ambulance drivers, health personnel and duly identified journalists would not have to comply with the curfew, the statement added.

The emergency decree follows a dramatic escalation in violence over the weekend that has paralyzed parts of the capital, damaged communications and led to two prison breaks, including one at the country’s largest prison.

The chairman of Digicel, a major telecoms provider to the Caribbean country, said that lines had been affected following days of street violence in parts of the capital.

Field teams on Sunday afternoon managed to fully restore the connection, Digicel Chairman Maarten Boute said in a post on X, thanks to the "brave technicians who worked tirelessly, in very precarious conditions to make this possible," he added.

Heavy gunfire has caused panic in recent days after calls by gang leader Jimmy Cherizier, a former police officer, for criminal groups to unite and overthrow Henry.

Cherizier heads an alliance of gangs and faces sanctions from the UN and the United States.

Armed groups on Saturday night attacked the country’s largest prison, defying Haitian police forces who had called for help. Rooters visited the National Penitentiary on Sunday where there were no signs of coppers and the main prison doors remained open.

"I’m the only one left in my cell," one unidentified inmate told Rooters. "We were asleep when we heard the sound of bullets. The cell barriers are broken," he said.

It was unclear how many inmates were on the run. Sources close to the institution said it was likely an "overwhelming" majority.

The penitentiary, built to hold 700 prisoners, held 3,687 as of February last year, according to rights group RNDDH.

One voluntary prison worker on Sunday said that 99 prisoners had opted to remain in their cells for fear of being killed in the crossfire.

These included several retired Colombian soldiers who were tossed in the calaboose
Yez got nuttin' on me, coppers! Nuttin'!
for their alleged involvement in the liquidation of President Jovenel Moïse.

The bodies of three inmates who had attempted to flee lay dead in the courtyard of the jail complex on Sunday.

Cherizier this week warned locals to keep children from going to school to "avoid collateral damages" as violence surged in the prime minister’s absence.

Nearly 15,000 people have been forced to leave their homes in recent days, with 10 sites hosting internally displaced people emptied over the weekend, according to the UN.

Prime Minister Henry, who came to power in 2021 after the liquidation of the country’s last president, Moïse, had previously pledged to step down by early February.

He later said security must first be re-established in order to ensure free and fair elections.

Great White North
Canada man arrested for threatening pro-Palestinian activists with nail gun
They’ve got lots of Jewish rednecks up in Canada.
[IsraelTimes] Videos on social media show 27-year-old confronting keffiyeh-wearing protesters, yelling obscenities; protest held during private synagogue event in Jewish neighborhood

Canadian police on Sunday arrested a man after he allegedly fired a nail gun at participants in a pro-Palestinian protest in the city of Vaughan, just north of Toronto.

Ilan-Reuben Abramov, 27, was arrested on several charges, including possession of weapons dangerous to the public, assault with a weapon, and two additional counts of assault, according to local police.

Police were called to the scene on Sunday morning after Abramov stopped his vehicle in front of the protesters and began shouting obscenities, engaging in overt confrontation with three of them, according to a police report that cited eyewitnesses.

One protester who was involved in the confrontation told police that Abramov discharged a nail gun that he was carrying. The police report said that nobody was hurt and that officers were continuing to investigate the incident.

Abramov is seen in videos circulating on social media approaching protesters holding a nail gun and shouting, "Every fucking Paleostinian will die." Noticing he is being filmed, Abramov knocks a cellphone out of one protester’s hand before being pushed away by another protester, whom he pushes back.

He is then shown putting the nail gun away in his car before squaring up for a fistfight. However,
a poor excuse is better than no excuse at all...
instead of fighting, he drives away.

The protest was held in the neighborhood of Thornhill, whose population is approximately 30 percent Jewish. According to the Canadian Jewish News, the protesters gathered outside of Aish Thornhill Community Shul, which was hosting an event focused on buying property in Israel promoted by local real estate agents. It was a private synagogue event open only to those who had registered.

Home Front: WoT
FBI Ramps Up Manhunt For Iranian Intelligence Officer Plotting To Kill Key Trump-Era Officials
[DC] The FBI is ramping up efforts to hunt down an Iranian intelligence operative who is believed to be plotting the assassination of former senior Trump administration officials.

The FBI field office in Miami, Florida, published a wanted poster on Friday of Majid Dastjani Farahani, an Iranian officer linked to Iran’s Ministry of Intelligence and Security, who is accused of working to recruit individuals to conduct operations on U.S. soil, including assassination and “surveillance activities focused on religious sites, businesses, and other facilities in the United States.” Among Farahani’s suspected targets are key Trump administration officials whom Iran seeks “revenge” against for the death of Qasem Soleimani, the former head of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ (IRGC) lethal Quds Force (QF).

“If you have any information concerning this person, please contact your local FBI office or the nearest American Embassy or Consulate,” reads the FBI poster. The poster includes a photo and physical description of Farahani, who the FBI said frequently travels to Iran and Venezuela.



The FBI did not say exactly who Farahani’s targets are beyond “current and former United States Government officials.”

Former President Donald Trump and senior administration officials ordered the drone strike that killed Soleimani in 2020, prompting anger from Tehran. Soleimani was a de facto celebrity among the Iranian population and held considerable power in the country’s military; he is seen by Iranians as a martyr after his death.

The U.S. previously indicted members of the IRGC in 2022 for plotting to assassinate former National Security Advisor John Bolton. U.S. officials told Semafor that former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and former Special Envoy to Iran Brian Hook are also likely among Iran’s targets.

U.S. intelligence agencies are providing the aforementioned officials with 24/7 security, given the serious nature of the threats. The costs associated with just protecting Bolton and Robert O’Brien, Trump’s second and final National Security Advisor, were over $12 million for 2021 alone, according to CBS.

Pompeo, Bolton, Hook and Robert O’Brien are all on Iran’s sanctioned person list, as is Trump himself.

Already-strained relations between the U.S. and Iran grew worse following the Hamas terrorist attacks against Israel on Oct. 7, which killed over 1,200 civilians and prompted a broader regional conflict. The U.S. is backing Israel’s sweeping counteroffensive against Hamas in Gaza while Iran continues to support Hamas, which is masterminded and funded by the country.

Tensions rose sharply again after Iranian-backed proxies launched an airstrike against a coalition military base in Jordan in early February and killed three U.S. troops. The U.S. launched a series of retaliatory airstrikes against the proxies in Iraq and Syria in the following days and weeks.

Rollerblade wheels ‘infused’ with cocaine found in package from Colombia leads to $30K raid
[NYPOST] Rollerblade wheels infused with cocaine have been discovered inside an intercepted package shipped from Colombia to Wisconsin, leading to a drug raid that turned up more than $30,000 of narcotics and forged papers, authorities said.

The Kenosha County Sheriff’s Department and the Department of Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) Team carried out a joint operation to serve a search warrant at a home in Kenosha on Friday.

A week earlier, the sheriff’s office was contacted by HSI about an intercepted package containing a set of Canariam Rollerblades that was en route to Kenosha from Bogota, Colombia, officials said.

The parcel had been flagged because the US Customs and Border Protection identified the wheels on the rollerblade as "suspicious" — and a series of tests was conducted on the wheels.

"It was then discovered the wheels were infused with a gelatin-like substance that tested positive for the presence of cocaine," according to the sheriff’s office.

Foreign national killed, 7 hurt in anti-tank missile attack from Lebanon

A foreign laborer was killed and seven were maimed Monday when an anti-tank guided missile fired by forces of Evil in Leb
...an Iranian satrapy currently ruled by Hassan Nasrallah situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else? It is the home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers...

The Magen David Adom ambulance service said a man in his 30s was killed and two were listed at death's door. Another four men were moderately hurt, and one more victim was listed in good condition, MDA said.

The victims were all foreign laborers, reportedly from Thailand.

The maimed men were taken to Beilinson, Rambam, and Ziv hospitals, by MDA and Israeli Air Force helicopters.

Shortly after the incident, suspected drone infiltration sirens sounded in the Galilee Panhandle, but the Israel Defense Forces said they were false alarms.

In response to the anti-tank missile attack, the IDF said it shelled the launch site with artillery.

The IDF also said it had earlier struck a Hezbollah compound where members of the terror group were gathered in the southern Lebanon town of Chihine, and another site belonging to Hezbollah in Ayta ash-Shab.

IDF guts Nablus home of Hamas terrorist accused in killing of Dee family
[IsraelTimes] As troops operate in West Bank city, Jewish pilgrims try to reach shrine without military coordination; Paleostinian teen killed, Border Police officer hurt in festivities near Ramallah

The Nablus home of the Hamas
...one of the armed feet of the Moslem Brüderbund millipede,...
terrorist accused of killing a British-Israeli woman and her two daughters in an attack last year was blown up in an overnight operation, the Israel Defense Forces said Monday.

Paleostinian media outlets shared pictures and videos on Monday morning of what they said was the home of Moaz al-Masri on the fourth floor of an apartment building in the West Bank city, reduced to a shell. Other floors appeared to be intact and undamaged.

The official Paleostinian news agency Wafa reported that IDF troops evacuated some 10 families from apartments near the al-Masri home before laying explosives and blowing up the apartment.

According to the IDF, al-Masri was part of a cell that shot up Lucy Dee, 48, and her daughters Maia and Rina Dee, aged 20 and 15, as they drove through the northern Jordan Valley on April 7, 2023. The daughters were declared dead at the scene of the attack while Lucy was rushed to hospital at death's door and died three days later.

Al-Masri and the other two members of his cell, Hassan Qatnani and Ibrahim Jabr, were killed in an Israeli military raid in early May, following a manhunt. Hamas said that the three were members of the terror group and grabbed credit for the attack.

The three members of the Dee family were dual Israeli-British nationals who lived in the West Bank settlement of Efrat, just south of Jerusalem, after moving to Israel some eight years ago.

The IDF measured al-Masri’s home for demolition in June last year, after first mapping Qatnani’s.

At the time, it said that "the mappings were carried out for the purpose of examining the possibility of demolishing the homes."

Qatnani’s home was demolished in late October.

As a matter of policy, Israel regularly demolishes the homes of Paleostinians accused of carrying out deadly terror attacks as well as their accomplices. The efficacy of the policy has been hotly debated even within the Israeli security establishment, while human rights
When they're defined by the state or an NGO they don't mean much...
activists denounce the practice as unjust collective punishment.

The demolition process generally takes several months, as the home needs to be mapped out, the High Court must address potential appeals by the family, and security forces often wait for an optimal time to enter Paleostinian cities or neighborhoods for the operation.

At the same time that IDF troops operated in Nablus to demolish al-Masri’s home overnight, 11 vehicles, including several minibuses, carrying Jewish pilgrims entered the Paleostinian city to visit Joseph’s Tomb without prior military coordination.

At one point during the night, the pilgrims exited the vehicles in order to pray, sing and dance in the middle of the street, footage showed.

It was unclear if the group reached the shrine before IDF troops arrived at the scene to escort them out of the city.

At least one Paleostinian gunman opened fire toward the vehicles as they left Nablus but there were no reports of injuries.

Joseph’s Tomb, believed by some to be the final resting place of the biblical patriarch Joseph, is located inside Area A of the West Bank, which is officially under complete Paleostinian Authority control, though the Israeli military regularly enters to conduct security operations.

Busloads of Orthodox Jews used to visit Joseph’s Tomb under IDF protection on a near-monthly basis, and the visits almost always sparked violent mostly peaceful festivities with Paleostinian locals. Since October 7, the IDF has put the coordinated visits on hold.

The IDF bars Israeli citizens from entering Paleostinian cities without prior authorization and protection, and some criticize the monthly visits by the pilgrims as an unnecessary provocation that places Israeli soldiers at risk.

The IDF confirmed on Monday morning that the pilgrims were removed from the Paleostinian city without casualties and stressed that entry into Area A without prior coordination is "prohibited and dangerous for Israelis."

Paleostinian teen killed in festivities amid raid adjacent to Ramallah

Separately, Israeli forces swept into the Paleostinian Authority’s administrative capital of Ramallah in the West Bank overnight, killing a 16-year-old in an adjacent refugee camp, the PA health ministry said.

The IDF said it had operated in the Am’ari refugee camp for six hours, detaining two wanted Paleostinians, questioning other suspects, and seizing "incitement materials of the Hamas terror organization."

"During the operation, a violent mostly peaceful disturbance developed in which suspects hurled stones and Molotov cocktails at the troops who responded with gunfire," the IDF said, adding that one suspect was hit.

The PA health ministry said 16-year-old Mustafa Abu Shalbak was killed amid the festivities.

The Paleostinian news agency WAFA said confrontations broke out as Israeli forces stormed the camp, "during which live bullets were fired at Paleostinian youths," wounding Abu Shalbak in the neck and chest.

One Border Police officer was lightly hurt in the festivities, the IDF said. She was taken to a hospital for treatment.

The IDF said it detained another 11 wanted Paleostinians in other areas of the West Bank overnight.

Since October 7, troops have arrested some 3,400 wanted Paleostinians across the West Bank, including more than 1,500 affiliated with Hamas, the IDF has said. According to the Paleostinian Authority health ministry, more than 400 West Bank Paleostinians have been killed in that time.
