SCHOOL WALKOUT AGAINST VACCINE MANDATES IS PLANNED FOR OCTOBER 18

 REDDING, Calif. - A year and a half of school pandemic safety has frustrated parents saying enough.

A school walkout across the state is set for Oct. 18. In Redding, a group of people plans to meet at the Riverfront Park, next to Sundial Bridge, to rally against the vaccine mandates on Monday.

Schuyler Wilson’s kids attend University Preparatory School and Turtle Bay Elementary School. His kids are participating in the walkout.

“There's a lot of emotions attached to this and there's a lot of upset parents,” said Wilson. “This isn't just a one-time thing. This is a movement now, and it's not going to stop on one day.”

Hollywood Battle Lines Emerge in Simmering Vaccine War

Without mandates to get a shot, some film and TV sets have been thrown into chaos as A-list holdouts have caused work stoppages while others say, “It’s not my place to police anyone.”

 On the other end of the spectrum, in July, Oscar-winner Sean Penn left the set of NBC Universal’s Watergate-era limited series Gaslit (co-starring Julia Roberts) and refused to return until every member of the production was vaccinated. Ultimately, Penn returned two months later with the compromise that everyone in Zone A—a category that typically includes the project’s main actors and key crew members—get vaccinated. Penn has been extremely vocal about his opinions regarding the vaccine, telling THR while promoting his film Flag Day that he wants theatergoers to “stay home until you are convinced of these very clearly safe vaccines.”

Mexico- 6 Police Officers and Jail Director Arrested for Alleged Murder of Hidalgo Doctor

 State authorities in Hidalgo have arrested six municipal police officers and a jail director in the murder of a medical doctor. Dr. Beatriz Hernández, 29, was arrested after a traffic accident on Wednesday of last week in Progreso de Obregón. She was driving a compact car and was involved in a four-car collision.

Because the accident was spectacular, Beatriz got out of her car to help the people involved, as she was a doctor at the Actopan General Hospital and Immediate Response Hospital. Witnesses of the accident assured that there was no refusal to assume her responsibility and the payment of the damages on her part.

However, she was violently detained by agents of the Progreso Obregón police and taken to the primary detention cells where she died hours later. The officers claimed she was intoxicated and took her into custody.

According to a press release issued by local authorities, Hernández was sent to a retention area before police took a break to eat. When they returned, they found that Hernández was dead.

The municipal government said on social media that before her death Hernández was visited by a man who said he was her father. She was later found “suspended by an object around her throat,” they said. She was taken to a nearby hospital, where her death was confirmed.

But according to a report by the news service ADN40, her father determined that Hernández had been beaten and asked police officers that she be released. He left his daughter to find out what the charges were against her but when he returned jail personnel were attempting to resuscitate the woman. The state Attorney General’s Office is investigating the death as a possible femicide.

Friends and family of the deceased gathered Thursday to protest and demand more information about the death. The Progreso de Obregón government maintains that Hernández was inebriated and took her own life after a fight with her father.

The mayor said in a press release that the local police officers’ arrests were illegal, given that they had voluntarily given witness statements. The mayor also said 50 state police officers turned up at municipal police headquarters and seized officers’ weapons.

Through social networks, friends of Beatriz demanded justice for her case, assuring that she was attacked by elements of the police prior to her death.

“Today a friend and colleague passed away! Beatriz Ruiz !!! It is unknown what would have happened at the hands of municipal police, she was treated badly, insults and strangling Bety, this in a town called #ProgresoDeObregon in the state of Hidalgo,” said David Toledo who identified himself as a friend of the victim in social networks.

German Citizen Goes Missing in Cancún; Five More Women Disappeared Days Earlier

Regine Beatrix Roessler, 62, a German citizen and resident of Mexico, went missing in Cancún, Quintana Roo, last week and has not been located. On social media, relatives of the woman indicated that she is a resident of Isla Mujeres. They said that she boarded the ferry to Cancun to retrieve money from a bank and then go shopping. She intended to go to a Costco store near Kabah Park but never made it there. 

The last time she was seen, she was wearing a light colored dress, heels, and a black bag. She speaks German, English and some Spanish. The Quintana Roo Attorney General's Office launched the "ALBA Protocol" to locate her. This measure triggers special attention, reaction and coordination between the three levels of administration (local, state and federal) when a woman goes missing. It was first implemented in Ciudad Juárez and was later adopted across Mexico. Two days before she was reported missing, five women disappeared in a span of five days. The are María Antonia Perez López, Youssi Emili González, Dorcas Córdova García, Marisol López Arcos, and Julia Altagracia José Vilomar. Three of them are minors.
