Protest to Demand Return of Missing Students in Mexico Turns Violent at AG's Office



MEXICO CITY – Mexican students wearing masks hurled objects at the headquarters of the federal Attorney General’s office in Mexico City in a protest against the disappearance of 43 students in the southern state of Guerrero.

The protesters, most of them from the National Autonomous University of Mexico, began a march at the campus which ended late Wednesday in front of the Attorney General’s office, where they held a rally.

The protest turned violent when the students hurled blankets on fire, sticks, stones and other objects at the building, breaking glass on the façade.

The students carried banners with slogans like “they took them alive, we want them back alive,” and had placed the pictures of the missing students on blankets.

The 43 students of a teachers training college went missing after municipal police in Iguala, a city in the southern state of Guerrero, fired shots at a group of students who had commandeered a bus on September 26, in a night of violence that left six dead, including three of the youths. Twenty-five others were wounded.

The missing students were last seen being forced into police vans.

Federal prosecutors took over the investigation two weeks ago, but the students have not been found.

Twenty-eight bodies found recently in five clandestine graves near Iguala were not those of any of the missing students, the Attorney General’s office said.

It also said members of criminal groups were involved in the disappearances and announced the arrest of more than 50 people, including several police agents and alleged members of the Guerrero Unidos gang.

Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto Wednesday said new lines of investigation have been opened and he hoped that it would help find the missing students.

Tribe seizes car after finding joint on driver


SCOTTSDALE, AZ - An ASU student says her car was seized by police after she admitted to having a joint in her pocket.
Experts say normally those kinds of forfeitures happen after big drug busts.
But Kayla was driving on Indian land.
She was on the 101 near Scottsdale Road when she got pulled over for speeding.
Technically she was on Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community land and their sovereign laws apply.
So Kayla started a legal battle to get her car back.
After Kayla got pulled over for speeding by Salt River police, officers were suspicious she was driving under the influence.
She says she admitted she had a joint in her pocket.
Kayla was arrested for DUI, but they also seized her SUV because of the joint.
“I was shocked, I didn't realize that my vehicle could be seized over such a miniscule amount of marijuana. I thought they seized vehicles from drug dealers,” she said.
Under tribal law, police can then turn around and sell that car.
Her attorney says such extreme measures are usually reserved for drug dealers or other felonies under state law.
“What's really unfair is how it's applied. Because most people don't realize by driving on the 101, they're subjecting themselves to the laws of a sovereign entity that has nothing to do with the state of Arizona,” said Craig Rosenstein.
But since the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community is a sovereign nation, its own laws apply.
It's something Kayla wants to make sure other drivers understand.
She spent thousands of dollars and eventually got her SUV back after a few months.
“I don't want this to happen to anyone else. It wasn't fair what they did to me,” she said.
A spokeswoman for Salt River tells us cases like this are not out of the ordinary.
The Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community determines and initiates forfeiture once the Salt River Police Department determines that a crime has been committed according to Community law and Salt River Ordinance Article V Section 14-32. In this instance, the individual was stopped for a routine traffic violation – speeding.  Officers smelled marijuana within the vehicle.  The subject was found to have drug paraphernalia and several varieties of marijuana in their possession.  The subject’s vehicle was seized pursuant to Salt River Ordinance Article V Sect. 14-32 and was later released to the lien holder who was an innocent owner.

Outcome of Ghoncheh's trial #FreeGhoncheh

Atena FarghdaniOct 14, 2014 — Dear supporters,

The Ghoncheh's trial took place today. It was private so our family waited outside. It took one and half hours. 

My mother met Ghoncheh briefly before the hearing, held her and gave her confidence. After the hearing the judge allowed everyone into the courtroom. It was an emotional family reunion. Ghoncheh met our beloved grandfather after 110 days and embraced him and cried. Aunt, uncle, grandparents and another relative were present. Since the court was not public Ghoncheh and the lawyer didn't say much about what happened. But she was calm after the hearing. 

The judge will give his verdict in a week's time. Ghoncheh left the building and returned to prison. Outside in the prison car, she saw few of her friends waiting, they blew a kiss to her and she blew a kiss back. I am optimistic but anxiously waiting for next week's verdict which I hope to be just and fair. I will update you on the verdict.

A second Texas health care worker infected with Ebola

DALLAS – A second Texas health care worker who treated Ebola patient Thomas Eric Duncan has become infected with the deadly disease, health officials announced early Wednesday.
The hospital employee reported a fever on Tuesday and was immediately isolated at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas, officials said. The woman's name, age, and position have not released.
“This is a heroic person, a person who has dedicated her life to helping others and is a servant leader,” Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins said during a press conference.
The woman was among 76 hospital workers who cared for Duncan, a Liberian citizen who died from Ebola at Texas Health Presbyterian a week ago.

Jenkins called the second employee’s diagnosis a “gut shot” to the hospital staff. He acknowledged officials are making contingency plans that others who treated Duncan may develop Ebola as well.
“That is a very real possibility,” he said.
It wasn't immediately known how the second worker contracted the disease, but the hospital's chief clinical officer said but “it’s clear there was an exposure somewhere, sometime in their treatment of Mr. Duncan.”
“We’re a hospital that may have done some things different with the benefit of what we know today,” said a bleary eyed Dr. Daniel Varga said during a news conference. “Make no mistake, no one wants to get this right more than our hospital.” The second Ebola infection at the hospital is "an unprecedented crisis," he said.
The latest positive test for Ebola was determined at about midnight Tuesday at a state laboratory in Austin. Results from a second testing by the CDC in Atlanta are expected later Wednesday.
A hazardous-materials team is now decontaminating the worker’s Dallas apartment in a popular community not far from the hospital. City officials said she lived alone and had no pets.
The woman becomes the third person to be diagnosed with Ebola in Dallas since Sept. 30. City officials addressed the public early Wednesday.
“I continue to believe that while Dallas is anxious about this — and with this news this morning the anxiety level goes up a level — we are not fearful,” Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings said. “It may get worse before it gets better, but it will get better.”
Duncan, who had travelled from West Africa to Dallas days before becoming ill, was the first person to ever be diagnosed with the virus in the United States. The disease, for which there is no known cure, has killed more than 4,000 people in West Africa in 2014, the World Health Organization estimates.

Duncan, 42, was treated at Texas Health Presbyterian for 10 days before his death. Last Friday, 26-year-old nurse Nina Pham began running a fever while at home and went to the hospital where she was isolated. She tested positive for Ebola on Sunday. Hospital officials reported that she was in good condition as of late Tuesday.

Convicted Killer Released, 2 Days Later Kills His Mother


Convicted Killer Steven Pratt Released, 2 Days Later Kills His Mother

Here’s why sane civilizations execute murders:
Just two days after a convicted murderer had been released from prison, he was arrested and charged in the beating death of his 64-year-old mother, authorities said.
Gwendolyn Pratt was found dead around 6:30 a.m. Sunday at a home in Atlantic City, The Press of Atlantic City (http://bit.ly/1saiKL1) reported. An autopsy determined that she died from massive blunt injuries to the head, Atlantic County prosecutor Jim McClain said in a statement.
Her 45-year-old son, Steven Pratt, was detained at the scene and charged with murder.
The next door neighbor he had been locked up for shooting in the face, Michael Anderson, had been like a father to him, according to Pratt himself.
When the moonbat authorities inevitably let him loose again, his friends and relatives are advised to make themselves scarce.
