The Scourge of Teen Takeovers

The Scourge of Teen Takeovers

This past Memorial Day, more than 1,000 teens swarmed the blocks around Lake Michigan in Chicago’s Hyde Park neighborhood. A resident described the scene: “Hundreds of people were walking and running down our street, jumping on top of cars, twerking, smoking blunts.” One group twerked on the top of a city bus.

At about 9 pm, the Chicago Police Department closed Lake Shore Drive. As sirens wailed, the Hyde Park resident armed himself with bear spray to retrieve something from his car. An hour later, a gunman shot three teens a block from the resident’s home. The suspect remains at large, though police made 13 arrests for illegal gun possession, battery of an officer, and other felonies.


Seems like an insurrection.

Saskatoon Sikh involved in immigration scheme gets piddly 2-year sentence after guilty plea

A Saskatoon man is facing a two-year sentence and a $10,000 fine for his role in an immigration scheme that saw records falsified and employment records misrepresented.

Balvir Singh received his sentence on July 8 after pleading guilty to one count of counselling immigration misrepresentation under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA) back in April.

The conditional sentence also includes 40 hours of community service.


The article doesn’t mention anything about being whipped and deported.

Fire at bar in Bangkok kills at least 27 people

BANGKOK (AP) — A huge fire tore through a music bar in Bangkok overnight, killing at least 27 people and leaving 25 hospitalized in critical condition in the Thai capital’s most deadly blaze in 17 years.

Photos from the Rong Beer Na Ladprao bar in a northern part of the Thai capital showed people fleeing as flames shot out the single-story building and thick black smoke billowed into the sky. Shoes lost and scattered as their owners sought to flee could be seen in pictures from the aftermath of the tragedy.

The BMW driving ‘Godfather of people traffickers’ who made £100k-a-week smuggling small boat migrants to Britain before claiming asylum here has spent TWO YEARS living in a taxpayer subsidised council flat

A notorious people smuggler who raked in £100,000-a-week shipping illegal migrants into Britain has been living in a taxpayer-subsidised council flat in Britain.

Twana Jamal, 46, ran a criminal network which was so successful at getting people across the Channel and into the UK that he became known as the ‘Godfather of traffickers’ and ‘King of the Calais Jungle’.

Jamal was finally jailed in France for five years after he smuggled thousands of migrants into the UK – earning a fortune that ran into the millions – then sneaked into Britain himself on his release from prison.
