    Just a few moments ago I heard about the attack by the members of the “Religion of Peace” on a man in South London. They killed a man who is apparently a British soldier using only knives and machetes. It is also apparent that the police retrieved a gun off of these Muslims after they attacked the police. I am interested in that last fact. If it is true. (we are still not certain of all the facts) “THE GUN” In London it is illegal for a person to even carry a knife over three inches long on your person...

    Fifteen police units and a SWAT van were spotted responding to a block party that a police officer said turned into an 800-person riot Saturday night, just blocks from the southwest corner of CSU’s campus. Police had arrived at the scene at 8:30 p.m. in response to noise complaints about the event, which at the time included 50 people. After Fort Collins Police Services addressed the crowd and departed from the scene, hundreds more flocked to the six to seven condos apparently still hosting the party, shouting ”F*** the police!” “Go CSU!” “Proud to be a Ram!” and “F*** CSUPD!”...

    BERGHOLZ, Ohio - Bare feet and work boots shuffle on the wooden floor of the Amish schoolhouse as the children settle into tight rows of scuffed metal desks across the room from their parents — the men on one set of benches, women on another, some cradling younger children. They have gathered to celebrate the end of school, but no one claps or cheers. The only voices raised are those of the students as they begin singing, the melodies rising and dipping like the surrounding hills. A warm breeze carries the religious lyrics, mostly in German, through open windows and...

The crash was no laughing matter. Not only did it cause a...

We had people inside the store who we didn't want to let out because we didn't want them...

    CINCINNATI (AP) -- Attorneys for a group of Amish men and women found guilty of hate crimes for cutting the hair and beards of fellow members of their faith in eastern Ohio are arguing that the group's conviction, sentencing and imprisonment in separate facilities across the country violates their constitutional rights and amounts to cruel and unusual punishment, according to recent court filings. The filings in federal court in Akron seek the release of seven of 16 Amish convicted in September in the 2011 attacks that were meant to shame fellow Amish they believed were straying from strict religious interpretations....

    A 27-year-old woman said she was returning home with her mother Saturday night on the Red Line after a dim sum dinner when a group of girls got on the train at the Monroe station and appeared to want to pick a fight. "This girl started blowing smoke in my face, and she flicked her cigarette ashes at me,'' said the woman, who asked not to be identified. "I said: 'You need to put that out,' and the next thing I know there's all these girls that jumped on top of us.''

    An Indiana teenager is accused of stabbing his father in the chest because he told him to pull up his pants. Cody Burns, from New Albany, faces a charge of battery by means of a deadly weapon after the Tuesday incident. According to a probably cause affidavit, Burns became enraged after his father, who hasn't been named, suggested he pull up his pants, which he was presumably wearing low in a fashion that revealed his underpants. The 18-year-old then walked into the kitchen and returned to the living room with a knife in his hand, police said. According to his...

    Ohio attorney general Mike DeWine announced today that the state will be convening a grand jury to investigate whether there could be additional indictments or charges in the Steubenville rape case. "A grand jury is an investigative tool that is uniquely suited to ensure fairness and to complete this investigation," DeWine said at a news conference after today's verdict. "And this community needs assurance that no stone has been left unturned in our search for the truth." Trent Mays, 17, and Ma'lik Richmond, 16, were both found delinquent -- the juvenile court equivalent of guilty -- today of the sexual...

    Duane Buck is guilty of murder. Of that, there is no question. In 1995 he shot and killed his then-girlfriend as well as her male companion in her Houston, Texas, apartment. Not surprisingly, in execution-prone Texas, Buck was sentenced to the death penalty for his crime. What seems on the surface to be an open-and-shut murder conviction, however, has become one of the most racially explosive cases of the past several decades—unveiling evidence of systemic racial discrimination in Texas’s criminal justice system. The problem with Buck’s case is this: During the penalty phase of the trial, Harris County prosecutors benefitted...

    A bully tossed a disabled girl out of the back door of a moving school bus and straight into the path of oncoming traffic — an attack that easily could have ended in death. Two matrons were on the bus dealing with a ruckus, but neither was able to protect Amore-Virginia Peterson, 13, on Friday. She said that when she slammed into the pavement she thought she “was going to die” — but she managed to scramble out of the road before she was hit by the cars bearing down on her. The bipolar sixth-grader suffered a broken collarbone and...

    NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Police were on alert in Brooklyn on Tuesday night for another round of violence stemming from a deadly officer-involved shooting. Just like on Monday night, crowds gathered to protest the weekend police-involved shooting of what cops said was an armed 16-year-old boy. As CBS 2’s Dick Brennan reported, Tuesday’s crowd was largely peaceful, but there was pushing, shoving and shouting and one arrest. The crowd marched down Church Avenue in East Flatbush, to the 67th Precinct. The residents expressed themselves with loud, profanity-laced chants denouncing police practices, 1010 WINS’ Sonia Rincon reported.

    CLARKSDALE, Miss. -- The body of Marco McMillian, the former Alabama A&M administrator whose body was found last week, was "beaten, dragged and burned," according to a statement released by his family to the Jackson Clarion Ledger. A Shelby Miss. man, 22-year-old Jeremy Reed, has been charged in McMillian's murder. "We feel this was not a random act of violence based on the condition of the body when it was found," the McMillian family said in the statement. "Marco, nor anyone, should have their lives end in this manner." McMillian worked in the cabinet of former Alabama A&M President Robert...
