LA Crime Spree: Suspect steals car, drags and kills carjacking victim, leads 2 police chases
LOS ANGELES COUNTY, Calif. – One person is dead after they were caught in a horrific crime spree involving a murder suspect in South Los Angeles, officials said.
According to the Los Angeles Police Department, officers were in surveillance mode of the murder suspect in the 5900 block of 7th Avenue in South LA’s Hyde Park neighborhood around 5 p.m. Thursday.
The suspect got inside the passenger side of a vehicle and drove off. LAPD officers tried to pull the suspect over, but the suspect refused, prompting a police chase.
The suspect crashed the car near the intersection of Florence Avenue and Haas Avenue in South Los Angeles. After the crash, the suspect hopped out of the car and started carjacking a different vehicle.
As the suspect tried to drive off in the carjacked vehicle, they dragged a person by the now-stolen car.

WATCH: Transgender Conference Speaker Leads Session on ‘Decolonizing Gender’
The public’s belief people are either male or female is really a hidden weapon for racist “white supremacy,” said a pro-transgender advocate in a video obtained by Breitbart News.
“The gender-binary that was used as a tool of colonialism, genocide, settlement and empire continues to be used today,” Sand Chang an Oakland-based “equity consultant” claimed in an October 2021 talk hosted by the Fenway Institute.
Chang also argued that gender roles are a tool of white supremacy, remarking that “the lens that most of us have, because we live in this white supremacist culture, is that there is a certain way to be a man or a woman and so many of those things are unconsciously tied up with whiteness.”
5th grade teacher arrested after admitting to active ‘kill list’ of students and staff
WLS
“At approximately 12:45 p.m. a 5th grade student told his/her Counselor that their 5th grade teacher made comments to him/her about killing herself, students, and staff at St. Stanislaus School,” East Chicago Police Department said in a statement released on social media.
“The teacher further told the student that she has a list and that he/she was on the bottom of that list.”
School officials said the teacher was immediately escorted to the principal’s office to discuss the disturbing incident and subsequently admitted to them that she did make those statements to the student and also confirmed that she had a “kill list.”
The East Chicago Police Department said it was not notified by the school until approximately four hours after the incident and the teacher was freely allowed to leave the premises.
However, once officers were notified, they immediately notified the Criminal Investigation Division, which obtained an emergency detention order for the educator from the Lake County Prosecutor’s Office.
January 6 ‘Mystery Man’ Ray Epps Guest Stars In Pelosi’s CNN ‘Behind-The-Scenes’ Propaganda Video – They Accidentally Slip Up Something Very Important
CNN on Thursday revealed exclusive footage from January 6 that came directly from Nancy Pelosi’s daughter herself. It was hand-selected by the partisan January 6 committee to show the American public on primetime cable television.
There are still 14,000 hours of footage from January 6 that the Department of Justice won’t allow the American people to see, presumably because it would damage its ability to prosecute J6 political prisoners in court.
Approximately thirty seconds into CNN’s presentation of the Democrat-selected footage, there is a suspect appearance of “mystery man” Ray Epps.
The seemingly ubiquitous “mystery man” Ray Epps was not charged for his role in January 6, despite being captured on video the night before attempting to incite protesters to storm the Capitol building.
Epps was caught on video coordinating with a protester who was involved in the first attack on Capitol police barricades.
Steven Sund–USCP chief at the time–explains how Pelosi/McConnell security chiefs denied extra help:
John Durham unmistakably puts FBI on trial alongside its Russian collusion informant
Igor Danchenko is the named defendant at this week’s trial, charged with lying as an informant in the now discredited Russia collusion investigation.
But with probing questions and searing redirects, Special Counsel John Durham has turned the Russian researcher’s trial in the U.S. District courtroom in Alexandria, Va., into an expose of stunning FBI failures and omissions in its now-infamous pursuit of Donald Trump for crimes that turned out to be nonexistent.
While the Hillary Clinton-spawned Russian collusion narrative has been the subject of a half dozen exhaustive investigations in the House, Senate and Justice Department, Durham has managed to use his third and widely assumed last trial to drop bombshell after bombshell that other inquiries failed to uncover.
Even the most versed in the case have been stunned.
15-Year-Old Gunman Killed 5, Including Off-Duty Officer, In Raleigh Shooting Rampage
Police said the suspect began shooting at about 5 p.m. on Oct. 13 in the Hedingham neighborhood near Osprey Cove Drive and Bay Harbor Drive, WTVD reported.
Sources close to the investigation said the teen gunman was wearing camouflage and carried a camouflage backpack, CNN reported.
Raleigh Police Chief Estella Patterson told reporters on Friday that the suspect shot two people there and then ran toward the Neuse River Greenway Trail, a popular walking area.
When he reached the trail, the 15-year-old gunman opened fire again and shot five more people, according to Chief Patterson.
Ashli Babbitt’s Killer Received Special Housing After Shooting Her Dead in US Capitol Without Warning
Judicial Watch has filed numerous FOIA request to get to the bottom of how Lt. Byrd was treated with special care after killing Babbitt but as of right now the Department of Justice has completely ignored the requests which has resulted in Judicial Watch filing a lawsuit against the DOJ.
Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton reports, “This is a rather extraordinary January 6 cover-up of why the Defense Department was involved with the aftermath of the improper police killing of an unarmed woman (and a veteran).”
Previously Byrd was investigated by the United States Capitol Police and was cleared from all wrong doing.
Judicial Watch is engaged in a comprehensive, independent investigation into the January 6 disturbance:
- February 2022: Judicial Watch filed an opposition to the U.S. Capitol Police’s (USCP) effort to shut down Judicial Watch’s federal lawsuit for January 6 videos and emails. Through its police department, Congress argues that the videos and emails are not public records, there is no public interest in their release, and that “sovereign immunity” prevents citizens from suing for their release.
- In November 2021: Judicial Watch – in its FOIA lawsuit asking for records of communication between the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and several financial institutions about the reported transfer of financial transaction records of people in DC, Maryland and Virginia on January 5 and January 6, 2021 – told a federal court that the FBI may have violated law in its January 6 probes.
U.S. Spends $361,218 Daily to Monitor Illegal Immigrants with Faulty Smartphone System
As if it weren’t egregious enough that a record 2.5 million illegal immigrants crossed into the U.S. in fiscal year 2022, the Biden administration released hundreds of thousands of them in the country with taxpayer-funded smartphones that were supposed to track them but have failed miserably to do so.
It is part of a controversial Alternatives to Detention program (ATD) and it costs the government a startling $361,218 per day, according to year-end figures (the fiscal year ended in September) released by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
The new records reveal that the agency issued migrants 255,602 smartphones, 40,970 global positioning system (GPS) devices and 19,902 voice ID applications before releasing them.
A former senior advisor at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said in a recent newspaper report that the ATD program has proven to be a “costly failure” and that thousands of illegal aliens disappear from monitoring every year.
“The goal should be to quickly determine whether these individuals have a valid case, and if not, to quickly deport them,” the former DHS advisor, Jon Feere, says in the article. In the same story former acting ICE director Ron Vitiello says that ATD is popular among the left and sounds great, but the reality is illegal immigrants in the program will likely never be deported.
The FBI framed Trump and saved Hunter Biden: It’s time to clean house, for good
Denial is no longer possible: FBI headquarters not only pumped up the Russiagate scandal knowing none of the “evidence” held up, it then turned around to help deep-six actual evidence of Hunter Biden crimes that tainted now-President Joe Biden ahead of the 2020 election.
The latest revelations come from special counsel John Durham’s prosecution of “Steele dossier” gofer Igor Danchenko.
Specifically, disgraced FBI analyst Brian Auten testified that the FBI dangled $1 million for Christopher Steele to verify at least part of his package of allegations against President Donald Trump — all of which, we now know, came from Danchenko’s water-cooler gossip with pals in DC.

Dirty politics: Fringe candidate releases sex tape to boost attention in race against Jerry Nadler
An underdog third-party congressional hopeful in New York is turning heads in his long-shot bid to unseat incumbent Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY).
Mike Itkis released a pornographic video Bucket List Bonanza to draw attention to his sex-positive campaign platform. He claimed the flick was his first time engaging in that type of naughty behavior on camera but is hoping it will provoke a discussion.
“I’m kind of a nerd who doesn’t like to be the center of attention if I can avoid it. But I thought the issues I’m trying to address are so important … I wanted to have my issues talked about in some way,” he told City and State NY.
Itkis is a former Army cyber operations officer who is expected to lose to Nadler in the midterm elections. His platform calls for the legalization of sex work and argues that “men should not be required to support biological children without prior agreement,” among other positions.
Soros Gave $30M to Groups Urging Censorship of So-Called Disinfo Before Midterms
The Soros-funded Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights (LCCHR) spearheaded an Oct. 13 open letter signed by 11 other liberal groups pining for Big Tech to “[t]ake immediate steps to curb the spread of voting disinformation in the midterms and future elections and to help prevent the undermining of our democracy.”
The groups addressed the letter to Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Google CEO Sundar Pichai, Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal, YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki, TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew , Snap CEO Evan Spiegel and Instagram CEO Adam Mosseri. Soros gave a whopping $30,325,500 to at least seven of the 12 total signatories between 2016 and 2020.
MRC President Brent Bozell didn’t mince words about what side of the political aisle was going to be most affected by what the Soros-funded groups were urging. “Soros spent $30M on groups trying to get Big Tech to censor conservatives ahead of the midterms,” Bozell said in a statement.

Watch: Just Stop Oil Activists Defile Van Gogh’s Sunflowers with Canned Soup
They threw the contents of two tins of Heinz tomato soup over the famous 1888 painting, which has an estimated value of £72.5m ($84.2m).
They were not taken into custody until they delivered a sermon on energy use and the “unfair” distribution of global wealth.
A video shows the two women wearing Just Stop Oil t-shirts gluing one hand each to the wall below the painting.
One of the climate change activists, 21 year-old Phoebe Plummer, then shouted: “What is worth more? Art or life?
The pair were later arrested for criminal damage and aggravated trespass, before officers began “de-bonding” their hands they had glued to the wall.
It’s the 14th day of demonstrations linked to the group – which wants the government to stop all new oil and gas licences.
Finland Preparing To Evacuate Citizens Along Russian Border Should War Arise
The Finnish Defence Forces and other authorities may go as far as going door to door in the event of war to help evacuate those living along the border with Russia and gave a presentation on the issue in the eastern town of Lieksa this week.
If a war were to take place involving Russia and Finland, some have estimated that over a million people would have to evaluate westward from Eastern Finland.
Tarja Wiikinkoski, Director of the Regional State Administrative Agency for Western and Inland Finland, estimated that around 70 to 80 per cent of Finns would evacuate using their own cars, while others could be moved by buses and trains.
Since the start of the conflict in Ukraine in February when Russian forces invaded, Finland has been on alert for the possibility of Russian moves along its border, particularly after the country announced it would be seeking to join the NATO alliance.

War of Words: Russian Army Will Be ‘Annihilated’ if Putin Uses Nukes, Says EU’s Top Diplomat
The war or words surrounding the war in Ukraine continued on Thursday, with EU Foreign Affairs Chief Josep Borrell said that “such a powerful response” would come from the West in response to any nuclear action from Russia, that its military would be wiped out.
Speaking from a European Diplomatic Academy event in Bruges, Belgium, Borrell said: “There is the nuclear threat, and Putin is saying he is not bluffing. Well, he cannot afford bluffing.
“It has to be clear that the people supporting Ukraine and the European Union and the member states, and the United States and NATO are not bluffing neither.
“And any nuclear attack against Ukraine will create an answer — not a nuclear answer but such a powerful answer from the military side — that the Russian army will be annihilated, and Putin should not be bluffing.”
EU sounds the alarm over rise in illegal border crossings via Serbia and abuse of visa-free travel
The visa-free deal between the European Union and Serbia is under renewed scrutiny after a steep rise in irregular border crossings from the Balkan country into the bloc.
In the first nine months of this year, around 106,396 irregular entries were detected in the Western Balkans route, a 170% increase compared to the same period in 2021, according to the latest data released by Frontex, the EU’s border control agency.
September alone saw almost 20,000 detentions.
The numbers were published on the eve of a meeting of EU home affairs ministers in Luxembourg, where attention turned to Serbia’s unaligned visa policy.
The commissioner said nationals from Cuba, India and Burundi were coming in “big, big numbers.” Serbia allows visa-free travel for these three countries, while the EU does not.
