Multiple videos captured the deadly encounter between a federal agent and Renee Good, raising questions about whether it was an authorized use of force. Rob Doar, a defense attorney and head of the Gun Owners Law Center, reviewed the videos with 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS. He emphasized that the use of force should be a last resort, used only in self-defense after all other options are exhausted. “The first shot seems to be while the vehicle is advancing towards him,” said Doar. “The second and third shot that we see in the video comes from the side driver’s window. That becomes...

1. The left is positively turgid about this INCIDENT. They wanted a shooting and did everything they could to set the conditions that made it inevitable, from the rhetoric of the Democrat politicians to the provocations on the street. One leftist white lady dead is a small price to pay for the martyr they wanted. 2. Note that yesterday (1/6/26), the Democrats changed from “The feds are the Gestapo” to “A zillion federal officers died defending Our Democracy, and we support these heroes- here’s a plaque!” back to “The feds are the Gestapo” the very next day. 3. The law...

Many are rushing to judgement. Some falsely concluded after watching the video, perhaps due to the smoke signature that the agent at the window fired the shot, but that's not the case. There was another agent not as clearly seen who was directly in the path of the vehicle. This pic shows one agent at the window who did not fire. The arrow points to the lesser seen agent in the path of the vehicle who did fire. This cap shows the agent who fired beginning to draw - the front wheels of the vehicle clearly pointed in his direction....

A grand jury has chosen not to indict the father of two Kentucky State University students who faced murder charges following an on-campus shooting that left one student dead and another critically wounded. Following Tuesday's hearing, defense lawyer Scott Danks announced via social media that grand jurors voted against indicting his client, Jacob Lee Bard, for the Dec. 9 shooting, and he has been released from custody. Bard's legal team previously told media outlets that 20 to 30 individuals had assembled to attack his son and family, and that he acted justifiably in shooting two people who were assaulting his...

His bond was initially set at $15,000, which was later lowered by Judge Joy Kennedy to $5,000 on Dec. 8. In that...

A quick way to keep a couple of guys occupied is to pose this question, “Batman versus the Terminator—Go.” The typical American male can entertain himself for hours with such banal stuff as this. I know I can. Unlike Superman, Captain America, or the Flash, Batman is just a dude. Sure, he has ninja training and more cool-guy gadgets than Delta Force, but at his heart, he’s really no different from the rest of us. What always befuddled me, however, is how anybody could philosophically oppose his violent nocturnal forays into the Gotham underworld. Certain events are watershed moments in...

Former Treasurer Josh Frydenberg has slammed Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, delivering a passionate 50-minute speech at a Bondi Beach vigil in front of mourners and news crews. The former politician, who is Jewish, urged the PM to “take personal responsibility” for Sunday’s mass shooting, saying the government has “failed” the Jewish community.

Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., was panned on Sunday for saying "go Bills" immediately after stating his intention to talk about the deadly shooting in Australia during a press conference. "So first, I’m going to, of course, talk about Instacart and their ripping off the consumer. And then, of course, I’m going to say a few words about the terrible shooting in Sydney, Australia. And first, of course, as I always say, no matter what — go Bills. They beat the Patriots today. It’s a big deal," Schumer said Sunday during a press conference on AI-driven price gouging. Police said Monday...

What used to be online threats, harassment, and social-media trolling has started to bleed (literally) into the real world. Conservatives are being swatted. Homes are being shot up. Public figures are facing assassinations. Events are being shut down by threats of violence. And now, once again, a young conservative is dead. ...... but think about it: you have a visible right-wing leader on a campus where conservatives already say they’re afraid to speak freely, a violent act followed by silence and unanswered questions, and an administration with a record of caving to activist pressure. When you put it all together,...

The daughter of one of the victims of Sunday's Bondi Beach terror attack told CBS News on Monday that her father was "shot dead for being Jewish," and she now believes Australia is not a safe home for Jewish people. Sheina Gutnick said that her father, Reuven Morrison, a 62-year-old Soviet-born member of the ultra-orthodox Jewish community in Australia, was killed while attempting to stop one of the two gunmen during Sunday's mass shooting, which Australian authorities have called an antisemitic terror attack. "From my sources and understanding, he had jumped up the second the shooting started. He managed to...

When I was shaken awake by my panicked wife, around 5 a.m. on Friday morning, to the news that our former home had been the target of an antisemitic attack, I was upset—but not shocked. That’s because there is nothing unusual about what happened. As co-CEO of the Executive Council of Australian Jewry, I spend my days advocating for my country’s Jewish community—which numbers around 120,000 people. And since October 7, 2023, I have woken many times to news like this. Staff, journalists, and politicians have all called in the small hours to inform me that a synagogue is burning,...
