[NYPOST] A gunman opened fire early Saturday in a "pre-pandemic" sized crowd in the entertainment district in downtown Austin, Texas, wounding at least 13 people before slipping away from the scene undetected.There were no fatalities, but at least two victims were fighting for their lives, police said.
It was unclear what sparked the shooting. The shooter, believed to be a Black man with dreadlocks, appears to have fired randomly into the crowd at the 400 block of East Sixth Street, a popular entertainment district lined with bars and restaurants. The shots sent thousands scrambling for their lives. He manage to leave amid the confusion.
Police quickly began combing through video shot by bystanders and security cameras in the area, searching for more details about the shooter, the Austin American-Statesman reported.
One suspect is in jug and a second remains on the lam after a mass shooting that left 14 people injured in Austin's downtown entertainment district early Saturday.
After the gunfire was reported at 1:24 a.m. local time, "a large crowd" dispersed, police said.
The shooting appeared to be an isolated incident between two parties, Chacon said at a news conference, adding that most victims were "innocent bystanders.”

BTW, when I went to school in Austin, on Fri and Sat nights 6th Street was packed shoulder to shoulder with people, inside and outside. Worse than fish in a barrel.
Preliminary information from Lt. Willkens with HPD suggests the unidentified man first arrived at the location to buy drugs from someone. However, a lie repeated often enough remains a lie... at some point, the man began urinating in the middle of the roadway, resulting in a large confrontation with the area residents.
[NYPOST] Porn star Dakota Skye died Wednesday — just weeks after being trolled online over posing topless at a George Floyd mural. She was 27. Another pretty girl with no brains.
The Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, resident — whose real name was Lauren Kaye Scott — was discovered dead in her Los Angeles motorhome by her unnamed husband, who identified the body to authorities, the Sun reported. The coroner’s office has yet to confirm a cause of the death.
The Tampa Bay, Florida, native, who also performed under the alias "Kota Sky," faced backlash online over a pic posted to her now-deleted Instagram page. It showed the blond bombshell flashing the camera at the Santa Barbara mural of George Floyd, who was killed by police last year.
According to the Toronto Sun, the one-time Pornhub favorite had posted the scandalous snap May 4 with the caption, "Happy #GeorgeFloyd day in #santabarbara

“Students who were unable to provide a vaccination card because they did not have or share a card or had not completed the full vaccination process had a number written on their hand”
When attending the prom without your shots is as stupid as expecting to vote without an ID.

the big difference between NYC and Moscow re Covid is that infections and fatalities in the former have significantly decreased in the past few months whereas in Moscow (and probably elsewhere in Russia) new infections and fatalities are remaining relatively high
not only is the vaccinated share of the population higher in the US (by at least 3 times), the US vaccinations were done w Pfizer or Moderna and in Russia by Russian vaccines

Diamond Princess infection rate 18%, fatality rate 1.8%, with an overwhelmingly older population and occurring before anyone had a clue there was a problem.
The man, whose name was not revealed, was on Delta Flight 1730 from Los Angeles to Atlanta when he allegedly took over the intercom
He then allegedly assaulted two flight attendants and 'was going to take the plane down,' police said
The plane was forced to land in Oklahoma City on Friday and no passengers or crew were injured
Other passengers on the packed flight described the man as 'strange' and told the outlet that he was 'dressed quite oddly'
A pack, not a herd:
Passenger Benjamin Curlee, 29, recalled another passenger who was seated next to the off-duty flight attendant alleging that the 'very weird' man had even scribbled a note to flight attendants accusing the other passenger of being a hijacker.
Curlee recalled that passenger saying he 'felt very uncomfortable with the guy' who asked 'a lot of very personal questions' such as his name and the spelling, CNN reported.
When the plane was still two hours from its destination, Curlee recalled the captain asking over the intercom for 'all able-bodied men please come to the front of the plane for an emergency.'
'I feared the worst. I prayed that God would protect my family in case I was gone,' Curlee told the outlet.
Curlee and a passenger next to him jumped from their seats to help but did not get because 'basically every man on the plane stepped up and was in the aisle,' he said.
'It was very tense, very adrenaline fueled,' Curlee said.
And testosterone. Bless them all for “hypermasculinity”.
[NYPOST] A teacher who taught controversial sex-education classes that included cartoon videos on masturbation for first graders at the posh Dalton School has resigned, The Post has learned.Justine Ang Fonte, who also taught a one-day workshop on "porn literacy" to juniors at Columbia Grammar & Prep School last month that angered some parents, will not return to the school next year, according to an email Dalton’s head of school, Jim Best, sen to parents Friday. Best also will not be returning to Dalton next year.
"Throughout her tenure at Dalton, Justine Ang Fonte has helped to develop an exemplary K-12 Health and Wellness program. Dalton — our faculty, staff, administration, and trustees — continue to stand firmly behind this program and those who teach it," Best wrote.
"At faculty and staff meetings this week, Justine announced her decision to leave Dalton to focus on her work as an independent Health Educator. She has been working toward this goal for over a year. We support Justine’s aspirations and look forward to honoring her accomplishments as the academic year comes to a close."
Fonte is the third high-profile Dalton staffer to leave the school this year as the school struggles with a simmering conflict between the faculty and parents over its progressive agenda. Domonic Rollins, the school’s director of DEI, ("Diversity, Equity and Inclusion") left in February to "pursue other opportunities," the school said at the time.
Best, Dalton’s headmaster for 16 years, announced in April he was resigning to pursue "other exciting and inspiring opportunities."
One parent said Friday she was not impressed with the school’s statement about Fonte. "This inability to admit a mistake or acknowledge misstep is strange," she said. "It shows a real lack of emotional intelligence and self awareness on behalf of the leadership team."

Here's the grifter website for this perverted loon.

"I have reveled in disrupting health education for 10 years. ...When I'm building with schools, I develop health programs that are intersectional, anti-racist, sex-positive, multidisciplinary, stigma-busting, and relevant."

[6/4/2021] The U.S. Food and Drug Administration today approved Tembexa (brincidofovir) to treat smallpox. Although the World Health Organization declared smallpox, a contagious and sometimes fatal infectious disease, eradicated in 1980, there have been longstanding concerns that the virus that causes smallpox, the variola virus, could be used as a bioweapon.
