AR-style rifle Purchased as Present to Son by Father of Georgia School Shooting Suspect
The weapon used in the killings, an AR-style rifle, had been a holiday gift from Gray’s father, according to two law enforcement sources familiar with the investigation. Colin Gray, the suspect’s father, revealed to investigators that he had purchased the rifle as a gift for his son in December 2023. Despite multiple attempts by CNN to contact him, Colin Gray has not responded, and it is unclear if he has secured legal representation. The tragedy at Apalachee High marks the 45th school shooting in the U.S. this year and stands as the deadliest since the Covenant School massacre in Nashville in March 2023, where six people were killed. Among the victims at Apalachee High were two students and two teachers, while nine others were hospitalized. One student, 14-year-old Macey Right, described the harrowing experience, saying, "I heard gunshots outside my classroom and people screaming, people begging not to get shot." She went on to recount how her classmates were "just shaking and crying." The events unfolded around 9:45 a.m., when Gray left his Algebra 1 class, according to his classmate, Lyela Sayarath. When he attempted to return, the classroom doors, which lock automatically, were shut. Another student, seeing the gun in Gray’s possession, refused to let him back in—a decision that may have saved lives. Instead, Gray turned his weapon on a nearby classroom, firing 10 to 15 rounds in quick succession. The first report of an active shooter came in at 10:20 a.m., prompting a swift response from two school resource officers and other law enforcement personnel. One of the officers confronted Gray, who then surrendered and was taken into custody. Gray is currently being held at Gainesville Regional Youth Detention Centers and is set to make his first court appearance on Friday. As the investigation continues, Barrow County Sheriff Jud Smith confirmed that Gray is cooperating with authorities. Georgia Governor Brian Kemp described the incident as "everybody’s worst nightmare," a sentiment echoed across the country as mass shootings continue to plague the nation. According to the Gun Violence Archive, there have been at least 385 mass shootings in the U.S. this year alone, averaging more than 1.5 incidents per day. Among the victims were 14-year-old students Christian Angulo and Mason Schermerhorn, who never made it home from school that day. The other two victims were 53-year-old math teacher Christina Irimie and 39-year-old math teacher and assistant football coach Richard Aspinwall. Sheriff Smith noted that all teachers at the school are equipped with Centegix, an ID system designed to alert law enforcement in emergencies. This system, which includes real-time locating capabilities and a wearable panic button, was activated during the shooting. Gray, who faces four counts of felony murder, is expected to be tried as an adult. His past interactions with law enforcement include a troubling incident from May 2023, when he was questioned after posting online threats to "shoot up a middle school" on the chat platform Discord. Despite these red flags, the tragedy at Apalachee High School was not prevented, leaving yet another community grappling with the aftermath of senseless violence.

France Calls for Migrants to Claim UK Asylum from Within the EU
LOL. France should stop letting them in if it's such a cost to them. As for Britain making it easier for illegals to move to Britain, that would IMO rightly cause a massive uproar against the Labour party. Britain doesn't want illegals. -

The Inhumanity of Hamas and the Global Silence
No, they look fine in these photos: Hersh Goldberg-Polin had part of his arm blown off by a Hamas grenade on Oct. 7. From an earlier Hamas video: I'm posting links to two videos that show the abduction ofmHersh Goldberg-Polin and two other severely wounded hostages. The second is particulaly harrowing as it shows the Hamas terrorists mistreating the injured hostages as they shout "Allahu akbar" and refer to the Jews as "dogs." Don't watch if you are sensitive to such images. https://youtu.be/Ob49SLAi5PU?si=BeanGLkow8c90u5Y https://www.jpost.com/breaking-news/article-807503 -

Hunter Biden's Surprising Last-Minute Guilty Plea in Tax Evasion Case
Hunter Biden, son of President Joe Biden, pleaded guilty to federal tax evasion charges, shocking prosecutors who were prepared to begin his trial on Thursday. Biden, who had previously denied any wrongdoing, was accused of intentionally avoiding the payment of $1.4 million in income taxes between 2016 and 2019. At the outset, Biden, 54, indicated his intention to enter an Alford plea—a legal move allowing him to accept the charges while maintaining his innocence. However, when prosecutors objected, Biden simply pleaded guilty. This unexpected shift occurred as the entire 56-page indictment against him was read aloud in court. When asked by the judge if he agreed that he had committed "every element of every crime charged," Biden responded, "I do." This reversal, announced in a Los Angeles courtroom just as jury selection was about to begin, marks Biden’s second criminal conviction this year. His attorney, Abbe Lowell, stated that Biden chose to plead guilty to avoid a trial "for the sake of private interest," sparing his friends and family from having to testify about events that took place "when he was addicted to drugs." Judge Mark Scarsi warned that Biden now faces a maximum penalty of 17 years in prison and fines ranging from $500,000 to $1 million. Sentencing is scheduled to take place after the upcoming election in December. In a symbolic moment, Biden, accompanied by his wife, lawyers, and Secret Service detail, had to pass by a portrait of his father, President Joe Biden, on his way to court. President Biden has previously stated that he would not use his executive power to pardon his son. The prosecution, representing the President’s own Justice Department, expressed surprise at the proposed Alford plea and hesitated to agree to a deal that would allow Hunter Biden to maintain his innocence. "Hunter Biden is not innocent. Hunter Biden is guilty," lead prosecutor Leo Wise stated emphatically in court. "We came to court today to try this case." Biden had earlier attempted to have the case dismissed, arguing that the Justice Department's investigation was politically motivated and that he was targeted because Republican lawmakers are seeking to impeach his father. He also claimed that the special counsel on the case, David Weiss, was unlawfully appointed. These arguments were rejected by Judge Scarsi, a Trump appointee overseeing the case. The indictment charged Biden with three felony tax offenses and six misdemeanors, including failure to file and pay taxes, tax evasion, and filing a false return. The charges stem from his foreign business dealings, which reportedly earned him $7 million between 2016 and 2019. According to the indictment, Biden spent nearly $5 million during that period on personal indulgences, including drugs, escorts, luxury hotels, cars, and clothing, all falsely labeled as business expenses. Prosecutors argued that these actions amounted to "a four-year scheme" to evade taxes. This tax evasion case is the second federal criminal proceeding for Biden this year. In June, he was found guilty of charges related to gun possession and drug use, making him the first criminally convicted son of a sitting U.S. president. In that case, Biden was convicted of three felony charges connected to his purchase of a revolver in 2018 while struggling with drug addiction, and for lying about his drug use on a federal form when buying the gun. Biden had previously reached a plea deal with federal prosecutors, but that agreement fell apart. His decision to plead guilty on Thursday did not come with any concessions from the prosecution, other than the avoidance of a public trial.

That's the problem for the US ( and the western world ). It's a choice between 2 awful candidates, neither of which should ever have got within cooee of being POTUS. Trump is a deeply flawed character, and she is just incompetent, IMO. It says to me that the US political system is broken, perhaps beyond repair, that no better politicians were able to be front runners. -

Swedish Man Scammed by Thai Woman, Loses Over 300,000 Baht
Oh well another Farang who has not read Private Dancer.The book should be made compulsory for any Farang going to Thailand. After spending a long time in Thailand always on short term visas I have seen and read and still read about these scams.300000 Baht is a lot of money but my friend lost about 1 Million Dollars on what I call a scam in Thailand and when the last Dollar was spent she was gone. You can take the horse to water but you cannot make him drink People are always offing advise on these matters but you always think oh no my girlfriend is different. We Western people find it strange that a women there will marry a farang when she has a husband in the village.In some cases relocate to a Western Countries with husband number 2 or 3 while her husband is in the village drinking and partying on money sent each month from wife. I could write 10 books on the topic and all true stories. -
