Brandon Johnson – Loves Looting

Chicago’s mayor is urging the U.N. Human Rights Council – a body whose members include notorious abusers such as China, Cuba, Russia, and Qatar – to investigate what he describes as a “worsening human rights crisis” in America under the Trump administration.

Canadians feel optimistic about their personal lives, but pessimistic about the country, poll finds

WTF?

Canadians have a quite glum view of the near future for Canada’s social and economic situation, with only one person in four expressing optimism and significantly more expressing pessimism, but Canadians’ views of their own personal fortunes are much rosier, according to a new polling project.

This strange divergence of attitudes — happy about home, gloomy about country — is also driven by geographical differences, and by a clear partisan split between pessimistic Conservative supporters and optimistic Liberals.

The View started receiving flak after co-host Joy Behar declared that conservatives were “afraid of us,” and has dismissed all their new challengers as not meeting the “certain caliber of guest” the show was used to having.

Germany: Survey shows every other person feels unsafe

German banned weapons zone. Criminals abide.

A statement on migration and public safety by German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has been polarizing Germany for weeks. In mid-October, Merz said that the federal government is correcting previous failures in migration policy and making progress, “but of course we still have this problem with our “Stadtbild” [lit. cityscape, a reference to urban spaces], which is why the Federal Minister of the Interior is now working to make it possible to carry out repatriations on a very large scale.”

What the Southport inquiry has revealed about Axel Rudakubana

His terrified family didn’t call police and social services failed to stop him despite clear warning signs before killing spree

In October 2019, a police officer made a call to a home in Banks, Lancashire. A 13-year-old boy had phoned Childline, telling them he had brought a knife to school and wanted to kill a fellow pupil who was bullying him.

PC Alex McNamee spoke to the teenager, who told him he was “pretty certain” he would use the weapon when the other child made him angry. The Lancashire policeman marked the case as “high risk”, noting: “This shows potential for huge escalation.”
