Criminal investigation into slogans on Erasmus Bridge during New Year's Eve

The Public Prosecutor's Office is starting a criminal investigation into the slogans that were projected on the Erasmus Bridge in Rotterdam during New Year's Eve. The prosecution believes that the slogans are punishable.

The slogans were projected on the side of the bridge at the stroke of midnight and could therefore also be seen during the live broadcast of RTL's countdown. They included texts such as "White lives matter" and "Merry white 2023."

Still investigation into slogans in Venlo: 'Cannot be tolerated'

Although the mayor of Venlo saw no reason to press charges, the Public Prosecutor's Office in Limburg is nevertheless starting a criminal investigation into the "White Lives Matter" text that was recently projected on a building in the city. This was confirmed by a spokesperson for the prosecutor's office following reports by Nu.nl.

"We feel that this is not acceptable in society," the spokesperson said. "We want to send a signal that we do not tolerate this kind of text." When the investigation will be completed, she said, cannot yet be said.

Same text in Rotterdam
The text "White Lives Matter," used in neo-Nazi and American white racist circles, was projected on the UWV building in Venlo on Dec. 28. The slogan was also projected with other racist texts on the Erasmus Bridge in Rotterdam at the turn of the year. The OM in Rotterdam previously announced an investigation for discrimination.

A Faked Kidnapping and Cocaine: A Montana Mine’s Descent Into Chaos​


Just before 2 a.m. on April 18, 2018, Amy Price, the wife of the coal executive Larry Price Jr., called the police in Bluefield, Va., to report her husband missing. Police scoured Bluefield, a town of less than 10,000 people nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains, and soon discovered Mr. Price’s white Mercedes at a deserted parking lot.

Mr. Price, a 42-year-old father of six, was an industrious businessman who ran surface operations at an underground mine, one of the nation’s largest, near Roundup, Mont. He also ran a motorcycle shop, Hawg Pit Cycles, that traded used Harley-Davidsons. And he had promised several investors big returns in coal. Recently, some of them had confronted Mr. Price about their money.

As night fell, a driver traveling along a state road some 20 miles away from Bluefield noticed a man on the roadside: a disheveled Mr. Price, who was rushed to a hospital. He told investigators he had been abducted by an outlaw biker gang that drugged him and took him to his motorcycle shop where they robbed him before loading him into a van and dumping him on the roadside. When surveillance cameras showed there hadn’t been a robbery, he changed his story, saying that the gang had asked him for coal train schedules for a scheme to traffic methamphetamines by rail.

The truth was, Mr. Price hadn’t been kidnapped at all. As he later admitted in court, he had staged his own kidnapping, a last-ditch attempt to escape investors’ wrath for embezzlement schemes totaling more than $20 million that he’d hatched with the president of the Montana coal mine.

The embezzlement and fake kidnapping were part of the unraveling of a coal company called Signal Peak Energy that also involved bribery, cocaine trafficking, firearms violations, worker safety and environmental infringements, a network of shell companies, a modern-day castle, an amputated finger and past links to President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia.

Chillied out rather than chilled out.

Two high profile inmates have escaped after spraying chilli powder in the eyes of guards escorting them back to prison in south - western Ethiopian town of Alaba, police have said.

They were two of four who made the bid to break free.

"Out of four inmates who escaped, one was killed, another injured and two are still at large,’’ Deputy Commander Taju Negash of Southern Nations regional state police told the BBC.

It's unclear where the inmates got the chilli from.

The killed inmate was facing another charge of throwing a grenade at police officers while in prison.

While I'm opposed to tax evasion I do think this revenue man was a tad OTT.

A Somali military court has sentenced a revenue officer to death for the murder of a man following a dispute over a 5,000 Somali-shilling ($9; £7) tax, state TV says.

Qasim Duale Abdi shot dead businessman Abubakar Mohamed Nourani, 65, last week in the Hamarweyne district of the capital Mogadishu in front of dozens of onlookers for failing to pay the $9, state prosecutors told the court on Sunday.

The killing sent shockwaves throughout the country and among Somalis online, with even President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud intervening to call for justice for the victim.

The case was heard and concluded in one session on 15 January.

Four year old boy with a gun, father arrested on live TV. Careless what?

A man has been arrested on live TV in the US state of Indiana after his four-year-old son, appearing to wear a nappy, was seen waving a gun.

Shane Osborne, 45, was charged with neglect after neighbours reported a child in a hallway carrying what they believed to be a handgun, police said. The arrest was filmed on the TV show On Patrol: Live. The show aired surveillance video allegedly showing the boy playing with a weapon and even pulling the trigger.

Mr Osborne initially told police there were no weapons in the house, claiming to have been been feeling ill all day and sleeping, Beech Grove Police told the BBC.

"I don't have a gun," he tells police on the show, where Beech Grove officers are followed on shift. "I have never brought a gun into this house, if there is, it's my cousin's."

He added that he did not realise that his son had been outside in the hallway of the apartments.

While the officers were still on the scene, a neighbour came forward to the officers with surveillance video. The video showed the young child in the hallway with what appeared to be a real firearm.

Police then found the firearm in Mr Osborne's apartment and he was arrested.

Most losing candidates don't go this far in expressing their annoyance. This story might be a candidate for the Conspiracy Forum if there are more developments regarding those involved in the plot and the actual attacks.

A man who ran unsuccessfully as a Republican state politician in New Mexico is accused by police of masterminding a shooting spree targeting the homes of Democrats.

Solomon Pena, 39, conspired with and paid four other men to shoot the properties of four local politicians, say Albuquerque police. No one was hurt in the attacks soon after November's elections.

Mr Pena lost his attempt to sit in the state's House and contested his defeat.

The election result was a convincing one, with his Democratic opponent and incumbent winning 73% of the vote.

On 15 November he posted a photo of himself in a Make America Great Again sweatshirt and draped in a Trump 2024 flag, saying he would not concede the election.

At a press conference on Monday shortly after his arrest, police said that following his loss, Mr Pena had approached the four Democrats he later targeted - two county commissioners and two state legislators - to say without evidence that the election was fraudulent. The shootings unfolded in the weeks that followed. ...

As well as masterminding the operation, police also believe Mr Pena fired some of the shots. They said more arrests will be made. ...

A somewhat lengthy report on a bizarre plot.

A man who tried to hire a hitman to kill a couple that were exchanging intimate online messages with his now ex-wife has been jailed for four-and-a-half years by the Central Criminal Court.

Bryan Kennedy (35) will not begin his sentence immediately because Ms Justice Caroline Biggs said she wants to allow time for the child and family agency Tusla to put in place supports for his children. She adjourned the matter until April 17 next when Kennedy is expected to be taken into custody once the court has been satisfied that his children will not be disadvantaged by his prison sentence.

The court has previously heard that Kennedy is the primary carer for his children and that his former wife, who is disabled and uses a wheelchair, is unable to provide the care they need. Kennedy also has a conviction at District Court level for possession of child pornography but Ms Justice Biggs noted that the images were "few in number and of some antiquity".

Ms Justice Biggs said that Kennedy "hatched the plan" to kill his wife's online friends with a man he knew to be "unhinged" and who had previous convictions. She said the man he attempted to get to carry out the killings, named as AL because he cannot be identified for legal reasons, warned Kennedy that he was embarking on a "dangerous road" but Kennedy proceeded nonetheless.

"His decision to engage in this grotesque plan is not under duress but was voluntary," Ms Justice Biggs said. Kennedy then paid €8,000 to the would-be assassin by taking loans from family and friends. He engaged, the judge said, in a plan to kill two people and engaged in a discussion as to whether it would be cheaper to kill one but then elected to kill both. He provided personal details of the two women and accessed his wife's Facebook page in pursuit of his plan. ...

Regardless of how you feel about the homeless situation in San Fran, seems weird to think that spraying water on somebody is an arresting offense:
https://www.cnn.com/2023/01/19/us/sf-arrest-spray-homeless/index.html

San Francisco art gallery owner arrested after spraying water on homeless person​


By Chuck Johnston and Eric Levenson, CNN

Police have arrested the owner of an art gallery in San Francisco after he was seen on video spraying water on a homeless person outside his shop last week.

Police issued an arrest warrant Wednesday charging the gallery owner, Shannon Collier Gwin, with misdemeanor battery “for the alleged intentional & unlawful spraying of water on & around” the homeless person, District Attorney Brooke Jenkins said in a tweet.

Gwin, 71, was arrested on Wednesday afternoon near his shop and was booked into San Francisco County Jail on the battery charge, according to police.

CNN has not been able to confirm if Gwin has an attorney. He did not immediately respond to emails and calls for comment.

The arrest stems from an interaction on January 9 captured on video in which Gwin, casually leaning against a gate, sprayed water from a garden hose at an unsheltered person named “Q.” Officers responded to the scene for a possible assault and interviewed both people, who declined further police action, San Francisco police said.

People angry over his treatment of someone in need have vandalized his store in response, authorities said.

“The alleged battery of an unhoused member of our community is completely unacceptable. Mr. Gwin will face appropriate consequences for his actions,” Jenkins said in a tweet. “Likewise, the vandalism at Foster Gwin gallery is also completely unacceptable and must stop – two wrongs do not make a right.”

The confrontation comes as San Francisco – as well as other cities with expensive housing costs – has struggled to address a rise in homelessness and the sense of disorder that it can bring. About 4,400 people live unsheltered on San Francisco’s streets and 3,400 live in shelters, according to a 2022 tally by the city.

Gwin told CNN affiliate KGO that the homeless person, a regular in the area, refused to move and resisted his help in moving their belongings. He added that he was not remorseful for his actions.

“I find it hard to apologize when we’ve had no help on this situation,” Gwin told KGO after the incident and before his arrest. “We’ve called the police. There must be 25 calls on record to police.”

He has since offered an apology in a video statement, according to KGO.

“I’m deeply apologetic and abhorred when I watch that video,” he said. “I completely broke. I’m not equipped or trained to deal with a long-term citywide problem like this. I know it’s very hard to watch. I can only ask others to maybe try to better understand my breaking point by looking at sudden reactions they might have had in their own life and how they may have strongly overreacted and now feel so humbled and sorry.”

Trena Hamidi, who co-owns a bar next to the gallery, told CNN she was outraged when she saw the video, though she acknowledged Q has caused issues in the past, including screaming obscenities.

“The city needs to take action and do something to give these people support and help that they need, not move them a few blocks away,” Hamidi said. “That’s not the solution.”

San Francisco Mayor London Breed recently touted her administration’s progress on decreasing homelessness, saying the city saw a 15% decrease in unsheltered homelessness and a 3.5% decrease in overall homelessness between January 2019 and January 2022.

“To achieve this, we launched new street initiatives, reactivated and expanded our shelter system, designed treatment programs for people experiencing homelessness who are facing substance abuse and mental health issues, and acquired more housing units than we have in the last 20 years,” Breed wrote.

Where I live that'd be assault. The spraying was done with a garden hose, not a water pistol. It's not a harmless prank.

It just seems weird to me, having been hit with hose water before. It's not fun, but at the same time it seems like an extreme charge legally.

The two involved didn't take the incident further, it was bystanders. Though, anything done to someone without their consent can be assault.

This was a pretty demeaning action taken against someone. Where would he get dry? Did he even have extra clothes?

Frustration can make people react unthinkingly.

Unfortunately homelessness is everywhere in the world. Even my small city now has visible homeless people. Housing is getting more and more expensive. I could sell my home today "as is", but certainly couldn't afford to buy it back.

My sympathies are entirely with the gallery owner:

“I find it hard to apologize when we’ve had no help on this situation,” Gwin told KGO after the incident and before his arrest. “We’ve called the police. There must be 25 calls on record to police.”

He’s trying to earn a living, with what are described in PC euphemisms as “an unsheltered person” and “an unhoused member of our community” probably urinating, defecating and shooting up drugs outside his place of business.

Now the Twitter lynch mob is vandalising his establishment, because nothing delights such types more than unleashing their criminal impulses with the blessing of their own consciences.

When I was a school caretaker (not that long ago, 4 or 5 years ago) there was the annual 'summer fair', the highlight of which was 3 teachers who 'volunteered' to get slimed/gunked, call it what you will.
So they would wear 'fancy dress' and sit in chairs on the school field, and then about a dozen pupils (heads of year, award winners etc) would pour buckets of specially prepared 'ick' (custard, baked beans, vegetable soup etc) over them, to much laughter, cheering and shouting from the assembled onlookers (pupils and staff) that were kept at a sensible distance.
When that had finished was when the real fun started though. It was my responsibility to 'hose down' the three teachers to rid them of their coating of various types of goo.
A lot of the kids would crowd around, encouraging me to direct my jet of water at their preferred target.
But (of course) I would occasionally pretend I couldn't hear what they were shouting, and I would turn around, cupping one hand to my ear, saying "You what?" (or similar) whilst also holding the hose in the same position in front of me, so that as I spun around I would soak all the nearest kids.
They loved it.
Nobody got the police involved.

"Gwin told the San Fransisco Chronicle that the woman, identified as “Cora,” had been behaving belligerently just before he turned the hose on her. He claimed she turned his trash cans upside down, was spitting on him and verbally berating him.

Despite her frequently hostile behavior, Gwin said he had a soft spot for the woman and had let her sleep in the entryway of his gallery for multiple days. He had called social services and police in an effort to get her help, but found they let her back out after several days and she returned."

Fed-up San Francisco businesses vow to stop paying taxes over homeless problem​

August 29, 2022

Businesses in one of the trendiest sections of San Francisco are threatening to withhold tax payments unless the city takes action in removing homeless people from the area, claiming that their presence has hurt their bottom line.

The Castro Merchants Association, an umbrella group representing some local 125 businesses in the Castro District, wrote a letter to city officials earlier this month outlining their demands.

“We’re just seeing constant vandalism, constant drug use in public, people passed out on the sidewalk, people having psychotic breakdowns, and it’s just not something a small-business owner should have to deal with,” [a local gym owner] said.

Terrance Alan, the owner of Cafe Flore and Flore Dispensary, [said] that his businesses’ windows have been smashed 11 times and that several homeless people have been living on the streets for more than a decade.

“Every day we wake up and have to help people on the street,” Alan said.

“We have to clean up feces on the street. We have to clear our people from doorways, so we can open our businesses.”

“It’s not fair,” said Alan.

This could stray into politics, but that's not my intent. I just want to post it here to not forget this. I'm very curious how this will develop further.

Private theory: some of the disappeared children might have been taken by relatives, without notifying the authorities, for predictable reasons.

"About 600 unaccompanied children have passed through the Sussex hotel in the past 18 months, with 136 reported missing. More than half of these – 79 – remain unaccounted for."

Being hit with a water hose possibly briefly by someone you know and banter with, when you're young/fit and have a change of clothes, and a home to go to, and it's not freezing cold etc is no big deal.
 
Woman finds 'doppelgänger' on social media before killing her to stage own death

The mutilated body of a woman was found in a Mercedes Benz in a residential part of Ingolstadt in Germany, but the woman initially thought to be the victim turned out to be the killer, police say

Initially, police believed the body belonged to Sharaban K, whose surname is withheld in line with Germany privacy laws, a beautician with Iraqi ancestry.

But after DNA testing they found that Sharaban was in fact not the victim, but that Algerian beauty blogger Khadidja O was the woman brutally butchered and posed in the front seat of her car in a residential part of the Bavarian city.

The women looked "strikingly alike" both with straight jet-black hair, similar complexions and heavy makeup on their face, cops told local media.

Sharaban was detained by Bavarian police alongside a 23-year-old Kosovan man called Sheqir on August 19 last year.

This week they finally announced a suspected motive in the case.

“Investigations have led us to assume that the accused wanted to go into hiding because of a family dispute and fake her own death to that effect,” Ingolstadt state prosecutor official Veronika Grieser said yesterday.

As part of the police investigation, they found that Sharaban had contacted a number of women who looked like her in the week before the killing.

The pair face life sentences if convicted.

“You don’t get a case like this every day, especially with such a spectacular twist,” Aichele added.

“On the day we found the body there was nothing to prepare us for this development.”

That is literally the plot of this Nabokov novel:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Despair_(novel)
 
This man seems to have deliberately driven his Tesla with his wife & two children off Devil’s Slide Cliff in California plunging 250 feet into a canyon. He’s now been charged with attempted murder.

Dharmesh Patel, a 41-year-old doctor from Pasadena, California, was charged on Monday with three counts of attempted murder for the terrifying plunge down the Devil’s Slide Cliff.

Patel’s wife, seven-year-old daughter, and four-year-old son were all in the car when witnesses saw it make a sharp right turn to fall over the cliff on January 2.

Miraculously, the entire family survived the ordeal and were rescued by helicopter.

Dharmesh was hospitalized after the successful rescue and treated for ‘serious lower body injuries.’

His wife, Neha Patel, is still recovering from her serious injuries. According to prosecutors, Neha told the paramedics who rescued her ‘he intentionally tried to kill us.’

According to San Mateo County District Attorney Stephen Wagstaffe, prosecutors have not been able to interview her yet. But they say they have enough evidence to charge Dharmesh without her testimony.

‘We have concluded that the evidence supports the fact that he intentionally drove his vehicle over that cliff, thereby obviously endangering not just his wife and two children but his own life,’ Wagstaffe said on Monday.

Only two of the attempted murder charges carry with it the penalty for inflicting great bodily harm. This is due to the fact that Patel’s four-year-old son somehow escaped the ordeal with only a few bumps and bruises.

Patel is set to be arraigned in court on Thursday, February 9.

Patrons of NYC gay bar incapacitated and robbed of thousands via facial recognition on their phones​


Three men who visited a New York City gay bar were robbed of thousands of dollars using facial recognition access on their phones, the New York Police Department confirmed on Thursday.

The three men, who were in their late 30s and 40s, visited a Chelsea gay leather bar, The Eagle NYC, on separate nights in October and November and were each robbed of $1,000 to $5,000.

Police believe the criminals used facial recognition to access the victims’ phones and funds once they were incapacitated, according to Capt. Robert Gault of the city’s 10th Precinct, who spoke about the incidents at a police community council meeting last week.

“What we think is happening with this scheme is they’re being lured away from the club, maybe to say, ‘Hey, you wanna come with me? I got some good drugs,’ or something like that,’” Gault said. “And then, once they get into a car to do whatever it is that they’re going to do, at some point or another, they don’t know what happened when they wake up.”

A 19-year-old girl and a 42-year-old man who were visiting a New York City bar that is not affiliated with the LGBTQ community, Hotel Chantelle, were also robbed in November and December by the same group of criminals, a police spokesperson said.

Browsing the Czech newspapers: Seven people who targeted sex clients in Domažlice ended up in custody.

According to police, members of the group agreed to rob foreigners of valuable items who stopped prostitutes providing sexual services outside Domažlice. But instead of sex, the men got a beating and the gang stole everything they had on them and in their cars.

"The woman then lured the foreigners into her apartment, where she began sexual intercourse with them or told them to undress and prepare for intercourse," police spokeswoman Dagmar Brožová described. Then the men entered the room. They pushed or beat the victim and robbed him. They took necklaces, wallets with euros, mobile phones, credit cards and flash drives.

If the clients happened to have only a little cash on them, they took them to an ATM where they had to withdraw the money. Meanwhile, others in the party searched their cars, from where they stole things like air fresheners, tangerines and chocolate.

"In a few cases, they even devised a ruse to get the foreigners. They poured red food dye by the bed, which they had in a bag, as if it was blood and the girl was only 13 years old. And they threatened to turn him in to the police if he didn't pay them. Most often they asked for 1,000 euros," the spokeswoman explained, adding that the gang filmed everything on their mobile phones and took pictures.

Criminals have so far registered almost 20 cases, but it is likely that the number of men robbed is more. Apparently, however, they do not want to report it to the police, which the perpetrators, according to the police, most likely counted on.

The Strike Force went to three properties to retrieve the men and women. All of them then went to the police cell and subsequently into custody. They face a prison sentence of five to 12 years.
