A sicko was busted this week for trying to rape a 21-year-old woman inside a Queens subway station in February, according to police.
Donovan Simmon, 19, was nabbed Tuesday afternoon and charged with attempted rape, unlawful imprisonment, assault and lewdness in connection to the terrifying Feb. 24 attack inside the 169th Street station in Jamaica, cops said.
The victim, who identified herself as Jamileth, told ABC 7 Eyewitness News that she was taking an F train home at around midnight after finishing her night shift cleaning offices when she rested her eyes while sitting in the subway car.
When she opened them, she saw a man staring at her, she told the news station.
Then when she tried to get off at 169th Street, the creep blocked the doors while performing a lewd act, the station reported.
But when Jamileth headed up the stairs to the mezzanine level, the creep was waiting for her there, she told the network in Spanish.
He followed her down a long passageway until they reached an area of the station blocked from public view and then launched at her, Jamileth said.
He knocked her down, dragged her behind a wall, punched her in the face multiple times and tried to remove her clothes, the terrified victim told the station.
Jamileth struggled to fend off her attacker and screamed for help.
Despite the assailant’s attempts to muffle her cries, a security guard inside the station heard Jamileth and raced over.
The guard came to the rescue and scared the would-be rapist away.
"Now, I’m always looking behind me," the 21-year-old victim named Jamileth said in the aftermath of the attack. "I can’t walk calmly. I always think that someone is following. I don’t know what to do. I feel terrible."
Jamileth, who migrated to the US from Ecuador just three months ago, was treated at the hospital for her injuries and has since switched to working a day shift.
Simmon has previous arrests for robbery, public lewdness and fare evasion, cops said.

They broke in to save him.
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] San Bernardino cops shot and killed a 17-year-old boy with mental health issues after he armed himself with a knife and locked himself inside a bathroom at a home his sisters were being fostered in.
Armed cops from San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department were seen rushing into the bathroom at a home in Victorville, southern California, where the teenager's sisters live in foster care, after he escaped from a mental health facility on Tuesday.
Video footage shared by the department showed cops shoved the teen, who has not been named, into the bathtub, screaming at him to get down and put his hands behind his back.
The video then abruptly cuts off, and police said he was shot and later pronounced dead in hospital.
Police said he had locked himself in a bathroom, and deputies tried to get him to come out for about a half hour, according to the sheriff.
But when the boy threatened to harm himself, deputies kicked down the door and tried to apprehend him.
Deputies pepper-sprayed him, and one deputy's hand was sliced by the knife.
The death came less than a month after San Bernardino deputies shot and killed 15-year-old Ryan Gainer.
The autistic boy had threatened family members at a home in Victorville and then chased a responding deputy with a garden hoe, the sheriff's department said.
San Bernardino County Sheriff Shannon Dicus said Wednesday that in both cases, deputies were met with violence. He said parents need more access to mental health services for their troubled children, so that law enforcement isn't the only option in times of crisis.
'My record as sheriff for the last several years is I have championed having a better mental health system,' Dicus said.
'The corrections environment and our public environment have been challenged a number of times where the only mental health resource we have in our community is law enforcement, and that´s the only 24/7 resource that we have.'

Anyone think that maybe some law enforcement has seen enough of its own killed by 'abnormal' people who basically get off punishment that some in the ranks are going to take no chances?

Sadly true, Procopius2k. While controllable at 4’ tall and 50lb, the same behaviours at 6’ tall and 250 lb can be dangerous to all around them, no matter how unintended the harm. From the article about a previous boy they killed:

[Boston 10] The Mass General Brigham Hospital system is making a major change and it will impact their youngest patients.
The hospital will no longer report suspected abuse or neglect to the state solely if a newborn baby tests positive for drugs after birth.
Instead, hospitals will now require written consent before conducting a drug test on the expectant mother or infant, in most cases.
Mass General Brigham said the move is to address the "racial and ethnic inequities" present in healthcare, adding that substance abuse disorder in the context of pregnancy more "disproportionately affects Black individuals."

Disproportionate drug use by certain protected classes of the demokrat political base cannot be reported negatively, so either it is somehow excused as systemic racism, or, in this case, simply ignored. Protecting innocent newborns is less important than avoiding criticism of pregnant black women using recreational drugs in total disregard for the lives of the children they carry.
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Brazen thieves stole $30 million in an audacious Easter Sunday burglary at a Los Angeles money storage facility in one of the largest cash heists in city history.
The raid on Sunday night was carried out under the cover of darkness at the cash vaults held at the GardaWorld facility in the Sylmar area of the San Fernando Valley, on the northeastern edge of LA, where cash from businesses across the region is handled and stored, cops said.
It is thought the gang broke in through a hatch on the roof and some how circumnavigated the security systems to access the vaults and escape without raising the alarm.

While there did not appear to be any damage done to the roof, local news footage showed a patched up hole on the southeastern side of the building.
Debris lay around it, though it is unclear what this may have been used for or if it was related to Sunday's theft.
[NYPOST] The son of a prominent Dominican politician was shot and killed at a Houston gas station Monday, and three suspects are being sought, police said.
The Houston Police Department identified the victim as Luis Alfredo Pacheco Rojas, 34, the son of Alfredo Pacheco, the president of the Chamber of Deputies of the Dominican Republic, the country’s lower chamber of congress.
Daddy, don't let your babies grow up to be illegal migrants…
“We have spoken with Mr. Pacheco about his son’s death and advised him detectives continue efforts to determine possible motives for the shooting,” an HPD statement said.
Rojas worked in the music industry in Houston and went by the name “El Pikante,” according to reports.
Fox News Digital has reached out to the Dominican Republic’s embassy for comment.
Rojas, a 29-year-old victim, and two other men were leaving a gas station in the 2400 block of South Wayside Drive about 7:25 p.m. and got into a black SUV.
At the same time, a Dodge Charger and a Mercedes-Benz approached the SUV.
Two males got out of the Dodger and one exited the Mercedes.
All three open fired on the SUV and fled the scene, police said.
I’ve noticed that the gangstas are going for fancy foreign cars these days — so bourgeois.
[Armed Forces Press] When LTG Steve Gilland took the reigns reins of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, since he is a former special operator, many grads were somewhat relieved, as they surmised he would be more true to West Point's history and legacy than LTG Williams, who infested the academy with Marxist ideology.
Now, many grads see in Gilland another senior officer betraying his oath and attempting to change West Point in keeping with the Biden agenda.
Recent minutes of the Board of Visitors of West Point's spring meeting show Gilland is moving to change the venerable 'honor code' to be 'aspirational' instead of sacrosanct.
How does this build character one might ask?
The answer is - it doesn't.
The only reason for this move, along with removing Duty, Honor, Country from the mission statement, is to weaken the integrity of graduates who will fill the U.S. military's ranks, so they may be enjoined to repress and persecute the American citizenry in the future.
If an officer can lie, cheat, or steal, what's to stop him from firing on innocent Americans at the will of a fascist Federal government?
With that pesky little phrase 'Duty, Honor, Country', and now 'Honor' removed, West Point is no longer creating leaders of character, but a Pretorian Guard for the emperor.

I would have thought the military was immune to this sort of nonsense given that in war, if you lie to yourself about capabilities and situations, you die. This is unlike academia where you can simply make things up and happily believe in them without consequences.
[THEPOSTMILLENNIAL] A quarter of copper wire thefts in North America occur in Washington and Oregon, two states with massive homeless populations. The thefts take down telecommunication networks and put lives at risk.
According to KIRO 7, thieves are cutting cables from phone, cable, and internet providers to sell to local scrap yards for pennies on the dollar.
The outlet also reported that rural areas of Pierce and South King Counties have been suffering from vandals stealing copper from telephone wires.
Copper is at the highest price it has been in a year. Scrap yards will buy copper for approximately $1 to $1.50 a pound and drug addicts will steal and sell the material to fuel their habits.
Dan Chason, who runs vandalism and anti-theft efforts for Lumen, CenturyLink's parent company, told KIRO 7 that the thefts are putting hospitals and 911 systems at risk. He said, "We had a cut in Bremerton last week that took down the airport," adding that it also disrupted services "at the Mission Creek Correctional. It’s a prison. It took down their services. I mean, it doesn’t get more serious in that."
Since January 1, Lumen has had 69 cases of line cutting in Washington state, 36 percent of the cases in North America.
Chason told the outlet that brazen thieves "put a magnetic sign on their vehicle that says, you know, Joe’s cable service. They put on a hard hat, they put on a vest, and they put a cone in the road, and they go climb the pole and start cutting cable."
In 2022, two Puyallup men even vandalized four power substations that knocked out power to over 30,000 Washington state residents on Christmas in a botched attempt to rob a local store.
Homelessness, crime, and addiction have both skyrocketed in the two Democrat-controlled states, with Governors Jay Inslee ...Governor of Washington state and failed candidate for the 2020 Dem presidential campaign, mainly because nobody outside the state and some inside had ever heard of him. He complained, complained, complained that the Trump administration wasn't doing enough to help the state, then returned an Army field hospital and 400 ventilators that didn't get used... of Washington and Tina Kotek of Oregon.

[NYPOST] The most famous is Stanford’s Paul Ehrlich, an entomologist whose bestselling book about people, “The Population Bomb,” promised the Earth a grim Malthusian fate, only a decade or so away.
We’d see mass starvation, he predicted, and food riots in American cities before the 1970s were out.
He urged the Federal Communications Commission to use its powers to ensure large families were always portrayed negatively on TV. (Take that, “Brady Bunch”!)
He made a bunch of predictions, and pretty much all turned out to be wrong.
(Instead of mass starvation, the biggest nutritional problem on Earth is now obesity, a problem even in countries once associated with hunger.)
That Ehrlich made a bundle on wrong predictions isn’t such a big deal — we’ve had dozens of doomsaying futurists who’ve cashed in on fears that never materialized. *cough* AlGore *cough*
The problem is people listened to him.
Across the world, governments adopted population-trimming policies, from massively subsidized birth control to promoting two-worker households to China’s draconian “one child” policy, in which each couple was allowed only one child.
That has left China with crippling demographic problems just as it hopes to burst forth as a superpower on the global scene; it’s now trying to encourage people to have more babies, as its leadership realizes it’s hard to be a superpower when your military-age population is shrinking (and, as only children, too valued by their parents to safely be employed as cannon fodder), your elderly population is growing and your society is stagnating.

[ZERO] It is likely that the Department of Justice (DOJ) will be throwing an elderly survivor of a communist concentration camp in federal prison for sitting in a wheelchair in the hallway of an abortion business and singing church hymns.
A bench trial at the Fred Thompson Federal Courthouse in Nashville this past week lasted just one day.
By the end of it on April 2, four Christians were convicted of a misdemeanor FACE Law violation. The Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) law prohibits anyone from obstructing, intimidating, or interfering with a woman seeking an abortion.
They had been charged after singing hymns, praying, and persuading women not to abort their babies on March 5, 2021, at the now-defunct Carafem Health Center in Mount Juliet, Tennessee. The DOJ characterized the action as an illegal "blockade."
The abortion business closed after a change in Tennessee law, prohibiting abortion in most cases. It means the defendants are guilty of trying to stop what is now effectively outlawed in that state.
The four found guilty are Eva Zastrow, 25, of Michigan; James Zastrow, 27, of Missouri; Paul Place, 26, of Tennessee, and Eva Edl, 89, of South Carolina, who was in a wheelchair on the day of the incident.

[Regnum] The Pentagon will strengthen cooperation with private companies to use new space capabilities in military conflicts, US Assistant Secretary of Defense for Space Affairs John Plumb told reporters.
To this end, the department presented the “Strategy for the Integration of Commercial Space Structures.” Plumb noted that the Pentagon is ready to support private companies that have potential in the context of the joint force.
The strategy states that the integration of private space companies into Pentagon activities must occur before conflict.
As Regnum reported, in mid-October, the director of the MGIMO Center for Military-Political Studies, Doctor of Historical Sciences Alexei Podberezkin said that the United States is using outer space for military purposes against Russia.
He noted that the Ukrainian Armed Forces are using American high-precision weapons against Russian troops, which operate with the support of GPS satellite communications. Podberezkin also expressed the opinion that most of the US space satellites are not for a declared civilian purpose, but for a military one.
On February 14, ABC News, citing sources, reported that the US government said that Russia allegedly plans to place nuclear weapons in space for use against satellites.
[Mil.com] Air Force officials have submitted a legislative proposal to Congress that would sidestep governors in seven states and move Air National Guard units with space missions into the Space Force, angering National Guard supporters.
The National Guard Association of the United States, a Washington, D.C.-based lobbying organization that goes by NGAUS, said in a statement to Military.com that draft legislation approved March 15 by Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall seeks to "bypass the long-standing requirement in federal law for the Pentagon to obtain a governor's consent before transferring a National Guard unit to another branch of the military."
Any proposed legislation would ultimately need to be approved by Congress. The Air Force did not directly comment on the proposal prior to publication. Currently, there are approximately 1,000 Air National Guardsmen across 14 units operating space-related missions in Alaska, California, Colorado, Florida, Hawaii, New York and Ohio, according to the association.
The draft legislative proposal submitted to Congress, which was reviewed by Military.com, is titled "Transfer To The Space Force of covered space functions of the Air National Guard of the United States" would "change the status of the unit from a unit of the Air National Guard of the United States to a unit of the United States Space Force; deactivate the unit; or assign the unit a new Federal mission," the text reads.

Removing capabilities and resources from State control. Cause and effect? Yes, if you somehow link State Governors augmenting Texas efforts at the border, you may not be wrong.
More centralized power to come if the effort passes through the Congress.

Title 10 USC says 'class one militia' is the National Guard. It's going to interesting how they try to work around that. BTW, all male citizens not in the Guard as listed as 'class two militia' (thus the 'draft' is the selective activation of that class).

So the people who laughed off the concept of Space Force so heartily, they created a mini-series with big name actors and production to mock it, are now looking to commandeer state resources for it?
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.

Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
