[GEO.TV] At least three people were confirmed dead in a number of shooting incidents in 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... over the weekend where 14 people sustained gunshot wounds, according to local officials.
Chicago police said that two people were fatally shot in two different shooting incidents on the West Side early Sunday.
At least one was declared deceased after sustaining a bullet injury in the University Village neighbourhood.
Initially, the person was transported to the hospital where his condition was declared critical, however, he later departed this vale of tears in the Stroger Hospital, police said.
Local media reports indicated that officers were informed about four males running from the scene after the shooting at the victim's vehicle.
There is no additional information available regarding arrests and identification of the suspects.
The police also said that the person was shot in the Heart of Chicago neighbourhood.
City authorities noted that officials responded to a call of shots fired in the 1900 block of South Paulina Street and found a 21-year-old man on the ground with multiple gunshot wounds around 12:50am.
He sustained gunshot injuries on his neck and body and was taken to Stroger Hospital, where he was declared deceased.
According to witnesses, an SUV was seen speeding away shortly after the shooting.
In another incident, at least two people were maimed Saturday during a funeral service in the Gage Park neighbourhood on the Southwest Side.
Officials noted that a 72-year-old woman and a 32-year-old man were shot at about 4:40pm near Emanuel's Chapel Funeral Home, 5112 S. Western Avenue.
Police said that also on Saturday, a security guard was critically injured in a shooting on Chicago's South Side.
The shooting took place in the West Chatham neighbourhood's 0-100 block of West 79th Street at about 4:25pm, police said. The guard was shot on the CTA Red Line, before fleeing the scene.
The victim sustained wounds in the neck area and was transported to the University of Chicago Medical Center at death's door.
Police said the suspected shooter was later taken into custody in the nearby 7900 block of South Michigan Avenue.

Gosh, it sure seems like a lot of people get shot in Chicago. They should pass a law or something.

All shooters are, shockingly, armed!
So why are "Caucasians" so charmed,
Largely free from the scourge
That makes every day Purge
For disarmed but disparately harmed?
[squawk]
Goes without saying that I'm funning about everything implied by the pic.

[KavkazUzel] Activists held a rally in front of the Georgian Parliament building in Tbilisi. They demanded an investigation into the inaction of the management of the school where the 14-year-old girl, who was killed by her partner, studied.
Romeo and Juliet reprise?
As the Caucasian Knot reported, a 14-year-old girl was killed in the village of Lambalo; on October 10, Georgian police reported that an adult man, who was her partner, had been detained.
...not even close to R & J...
Georgian Ombudsman Levan Ioseliani, commenting on the incident, said that the authorities are not doing enough to address the problem of child and forced marriages in the country.
According to the mother of the deceased, her daughter was kidnapped two months ago for the purpose of marriage, and the 27-year-old man threatened to kill the family if they wanted to take her, although the girl herself did not want to get married. On October 12, it became known that the police had detained the uncle of the murdered girl on charges of forcing a minor into marriage and concealing information about the crime.
Vile. That poor child.
For a number of regions of Georgia, the problem of early and forced marriage is relevant. In September 2022, a local resident was detained in the Dmanisi region for forcing his 20-year-old daughter to marry against her will, which is why she tried to commit suicide.
In November 2019, after the abduction of a 15-year-old girl, Georgian NGOs also proposed introducing programs in schools to prevent early marriages. It is necessary to raise the level of awareness about early marriage among schoolchildren, said the head of the NGO "Association of Young Lawyers" Sulkhan Saladze.
Today, activists, shocked by the murder of a girl, held a rally on Rustaveli Avenue. The protesters stood silently with posters “A child is not a wife”, “The school killed Aitaj, arrest the school director,” a “Caucasian Knot” correspondent reported from the scene.
What about the husband, who clearly knew exactly what he was doing? And whoever conducted the wedding, assuming the thing was done according to legal forms?
[Gateway] One of Jeffrey Epstein’s victims who testified against Ghislaine Maxwell has mysteriously died.
Jeffrey Epstein’s pimp Ghislaine Maxwell was sentenced to 20 years in prison earlier this year.
Maxwell worked as Jeffrey Epstein’s pimp for years and the DOJ knew they were running girls as young as 12 but they refused to act.
Carolyn Andriano, one of Epstein’s victims who testified against Maxwell, was found unresponsive in a West Palm Beach hotel earlier this year. West Palm Beach police opened an investigation into her death after it was concluded she died of an accidental drug overdose.
Andriano’s mother pleaded with police to investigate her daughter’s death and insisted she was drug and alcohol free.
According to The Daily Beast, Carolyn Andriano had been texting her mother about building her new life with her five children and husband, John Pitts shortly before she died.
[JoanneJacobs] California's 116 community colleges, open to all at very low cost, represent the best version of diversity, equity, and inclusion, writes Conor Friedersdorf in The Atlantic. The state's DEI rules for community college instructors represent the worst.
Bureaucrats are mandating policies that "trample on free speech while coercing instructors on how to teach their subjects, which scholarly conclusions to reach, and even what political positions to advocate," he writes.
The revised education code calls for evaluating community-college employees on their "antiracist" and "DEIA competencies," Friedersdorf writes. (A stands for "accessibility.") Professors will be hired, promoted and given tenure based "on their embrace of controversial social-justice concepts as those concepts are understood and defined by state education bureaucrats."
"How am I supposed to incorporate DEI into my classroom instruction?" asks Bill Blanken, a chemistry professor who's one of six plaintiffs in a First Amendment lawsuit filed by the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression. "What’s the ’anti-racist’ perspective on the atomic mass of boron?," he asks. You could mention that boron, or any other element, come in several isotopes. But all isotopes of any particular element have the same chemical reactivity (albeit different kinetic rates and equilibrium constants in such reactions - oops, that's racis!)
[NYPOST] A powerful 6.3-magnitude earthquake struck western Afghanistan on Sunday, just over a week after strong quakes and aftershocks killed thousands of people and flattened entire villages in the same province.
The U.S. Geological Survey said the latest quake’s epicenter was about 34 kilometers (21 miles) outside Herat ...a venerable old Persian-speaking city in western Afghanistan, populated mostly by Tadjiks, which is why it's not as blood-soaked as areas controlled by Pashtuns... , the bucolic provincial capital, and eight kilometers (five miles) below the surface.
Save the Children said four people have died and that Herat Regional Hospital has received 153 injured. Everything in the Baloch area of Rabat Sangi district has collapsed. Several villages have been destroyed, according to the aid group. Authorities have given lower casualty numbers.
Sayed Kazim Rafiqi, 42, a Herat city resident, said he had never seen such devastation before with the majority of houses damaged and "people terrified." Rafiqi and others headed to the hospital to donate much-needed blood.
"We have to help in any way possible," he said.
The earthquakes on Oct. 7 flattened whole villages in Herat, in one of the most destructive quakes in the country’s recent history.

[X via ZERO] Elon Musk most likely upset anti-gunners at Everytown and Giffords this weekend with his post on X, stating, "As tragic as the mass shootings are, armed citizens are essential to the defense of democracy."
Musk's comment was in response to an X user named "End Wokeness," who highlighted, "The past 3+ years have been one long infomercial for the 2nd amendment."
[ZERO] End Wokeness listed a series of events, including Covid lockdowns and lawless metro areas, as some of the reasons why law-abiding Americans panic-bought guns in recent years.
According to the latest data from the FBI's National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS), which serves as a proxy for gun sales, because there is no national database tracking firearm purchases, gun demand surged during the early days of Covid. It continued erupting as Black Lives Matter protests/riots sparked concern for safety among millions of Americans. Gun demand has since plunged since panic buying was merely a bubble.

Musk seems to say the right things and then say something completely off key in the mix. Lots of people do, but he has the world's biggest megaphone. I wish he and Trum could both be somewhat more... circumspect.

[AFRICANEWS] In Madagascar, proponents of a coalition consisting of 11 opposition contenders in the presidential election came together for a protest in Antananarivo, while supporters of incumbent president and candidate Andry Rajoelina assembled to show their support for him.
"We are here to support candidate Rajoelina, who is number 3. I support him because he has built a lot of infrastructure. And on top of that, they care about young people and the most disadvantaged."
The Malagasy opposition, which has been protesting for over two weeks against what they have dubbed an institutional coup d'état ahead of next month's presidential election, vowed to keep up the pressure in the streets. The High Constitutional Court had rejected three appeals calling for Rajoelina's candidacy to be invalidated for not having Malagasy nationality, whom according to June press reports had become a naturalized French citizen in 2014.
"We are calling for the elections to be organised in a sound, fair and transparent manner, accepted by everyone, with an independent national electoral commission (CENI), a new CENI, the government will change and a new special electoral court."
"Firstly, we do not accept the fact that our country is run by foreigners. And secondly, they must change the Independent National Electoral Commission and the High Constitutional Court. And finally, they should postpone the election."
The High Constitutional Court, on Thursday ordered the postponement of the first round, initially scheduled for November 9, to November 16 after a candidate suffered a facial injury. The second round is scheduled for December 20.

By the article, all the major pharmacies had similar suits but have settled. RiteAid had more cash flow issues so they were unable to use the same plan. Maybe RiteAid makes it out; maybe they don’t. I don’t see any advantage to CVS or Walgreens buying them. They all have stores on the same blocks. If they whack stores, it will be in inverse order of profitability. The locations with excess theft will not make the cut.

[REGNUM] On Sunday, October 15, elections to the Sejm and Senate are held in Poland. On the eve of the vote in the country, there was talk on the Vistula about the possible defeat of the currently ruling Law and Justice (PiS) party, which would lead to anarchy and almost civil war. In an interview with the French publication Le Point, former Polish President Lech Walesa said that the situation is serious: “I do not exclude the risk of civil war in Poland. Ultimately, people will take to the streets in even greater numbers. I’m even afraid that they will use weapons.”
They predicted the same thing if Donald Trump lost in 2020.
This was also discussed in a conversation between the former head of the Polish Military Counterintelligence Service, General Piotr Pytel, and the opposition Polish newspaper Gazeta Wyborcza. Pytel commented on the recent high-profile resignation of the Chief of the General Staff, General Raimund Andrzejczak (number one of the Polish Army) and the Chief of Operations Command, General Tomasz Piotrowski (number two).

[Federalist] Radical activism has come to define the Biden administration, and Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland could be the poster child. For instance, just last week, the former congresswoman participated in a bizarre video with a drag queen to promote the false narrative that "queer rights are more under attack than ever." Meanwhile, the connections of Haaland’s activist 29-year-old daughter, Somah, have become a major cause for concern, leading to multiple ethics complaints against the secretary over fears of undue influence.
In September, the bilingual Hispanic website ADN America documented Somah Haaland’s relationship with a Cuban solidarity group linked to the communist regime’s intelligence apparatus. The connection stems from Somah’s work for the Pueblo Action Alliance (PAA), a far-left, Albuquerque-based climate group that often advocates issues on behalf of the Laguna Pueblo. As a member of the federally recognized tribe, Secretary Haaland became the first American Indian to lead the agency responsible for U.S.-tribal relations.
The PAA, ADN reported last month, "openly associates with the Venceremos Brigade (VB), a U.S.-based organization that facilitates trips for young Americans to visit Cuba, where they are reportedly greeted and groomed by Cuban intelligence agents." ADN continued:

WIKI - The Venceremos Brigade is an international organization founded in 1969 by members of the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) and officials of the Republic of Cuba.[1] It was formed as a coalition of young people to show solidarity with the Cuban Revolution by working side by side with Cuban workers, challenging U.S. policies towards Cuba, including the United States embargo against Cuba. The yearly brigade trips, which as of 2010 have brought more than 9,000 people to Cuba, continue today and are coordinated with the Pastors For Peace Friendship Caravans to Cuba.[citation needed] The 48th Brigade travelled to Cuba in July 2017.[2]

Please, please, please. Deb Haaland is another official picked for (1) skin color and (2) chromosomes. While her skin color may be lighter than that of some others, it is still darker than mine.
As far as I know, her skin color hasn't changed, nor have her chromosomes. So she is still fulfilling the conditions of her hire.

Hopefully, she will remain an ally of gophers and timberwolves that are a little light in the loafers so that the patriarchy of the animal kingdom doesn’t crush denizens of the outdoors who may not be the strongest and the fittest in comparison to their biological competitors.
