In my opinion about the 2024 Paris Olympics is that, the shouldn't have done any criticism towards any players and check the quality of area that have been provided. Instead of doing those things, they made saxist comment towards woman players and left the swimmers with dirty waters to swim in. That is why, going further, I hope that they will check how well the games is going and unrequired comments is not being said during the games anymore.

The introduction of semi-automated offside technology was supposed to be in October or November but was delayed untill 2025.

Opinion :

In my opinion, the Michael Jackson case is kind of confusing yet interesting because of how famous Michael Jackson is. It's confusing because of how much people say that he's guilty but there are also a lot of other people that try to defend him. It's also interesting because this shows me that anyone can be a pedophile, whether you are famous or not. This also shows that even the most popular person can still be tempted by bad things and can still do bad so we need to resist the bad things when tempted.

The claims of sexual abuse by Michael Jackson all started in September 1993 by a family who claimed that Michael Jackson had repeatedly commited sexual assault on their son. In 1994, prosecuters announced that they are not filing any criminal charges against Michael Jackson involving 3 boys because the “primary alleged victim” refused to testify. During the investigation, Michael Jackson put multiple boys on the witness stand and aslo in front of cameras. One of them is 10 year old, Wade Robson, who met Michael Jackson 5 years earlier. His mother talked about her son’s slumber parties with Jackson. On December 8 1993, Jackson’s sister claims that the sexual abuse claims are true. She also claims that she and her siblings were also abused by her parents. However, others claimed that she was lying and trying to make money off of Jackson’s downfall. In November 20 2003, two days after raiding Neverland (a place which he lured in kids and commited the acts of child sexual abuse), the sheriffs office arrests Michael Jackson on charges of child sexual abuse. He was later indicited on 10 criminal charges including child sexual abuse, abduction, false imprisonment, and extortion. On Febuary 28 2005, Michael Jackson’s criminal case goes to trial, where Gavin Arvizo, Wade Robson, and Macaulay Culkin testify against Jackson in the trial. They are described as “special friends” of Jackson who have slept with him in his bed, although they denied it. On June 13 2005, Michael Jackson was actually acquited of all of his crimes and he died on June 25 2009 by cardiac arrest.

The two-part documentary Leaving Neverland, which began airing on HBO on Sunday night, tells the story of two men, Wade Robson and James Safechuck, who accuse Michael Jackson of having sexually abused them for years, beginning when they were respectively about seven and 10 years old.

Michael Jackson's estate continues to deny all allegations, as the entertainer did in his lifetime. His estate has sued HBO for distributing the Dan Reed-directed documentary, which debuted at the Sundance Film Festival in January; in its filings, the estate called Leaving Neverland a "posthumous character assassination."

It's no secret that, before and even after his death in 2009, Jackson was the subject of multiple sexual abuse accusations and police investigations as well as civil and criminal lawsuits. This timeline lays out key dates, known allegations and the main accusations the artist and his estate have faced, going back more than a quarter century.

December 1986: James Safechuck meets Michael Jackson on a Pepsi ad set

A 10-year-old California boy, James (Jimmy) Safechuck, is hired to appear in a Pepsi commercial alongside Michael Jackson. In Leaving Neverland, Safechuck says that Jackson befriended him and his family after the ad began airing, that the singer was immediately generous to him and allegedly began lavishing him with gifts - including, Safechuck says, his jacket from the "Thriller" video. Safechuck and his family also say that Jackson began flying them for visits and on vacations.

On one such trip to Hawaii, Safechuck alleges, Michael Jackson first asked the boy to sleep with him in his bed.

August 1993: Los Angeles police begin investigating Jackson

The Los Angeles Times reports that the LAPD has begun investigating Jackson based on allegations that he possibly molested four children, including a 13-year-old boy. (The boy is mentioned by name and in photos in Leaving Neverland.)

The police find no incriminating evidence at Jackson's Neverland ranch, nor at his Los Angeles condominium.

In a lengthy report published the following January, Vanity Fair - calling the boy "Jamie" - publishes the 13-year-old and his family's allegations. The boy's lawyer tells the magazine, "Michael was in love with the boy."

The family says that Jackson argued with Jamie's mother about sleeping in the same bed with him, saying, according to Vanity Fair, "Why don't you trust me? If we're a family, you've got to think of me as a brother. Why make me feel so bad? This is a bond. It's not about sex. This is something special." From that point onwards, the family claims, Jamie slept with Jackson nearly every night for the next several months.

September 1993: One family files suit against Jackson

In the filing, a family - whose child is ostensibly the 13-year-old boy referred to as "Jamie" by Vanity Fair - alleges that Jackson had "repeatedly committed sexual battery" on their son.

Jackson's team maintains that the suit is part of an attempt to extort the star for $20 million. More than a decade later, however, Court TV reveals in a 2004 report that Jackson settled the suit for even more than that. As part of the settlement, the singer denied any "wrongful acts."

In September 1994, prosecutors announce that they are not filing criminal charges against Jackson involving three boys - because the "primary alleged victim" declined to testify.

In the course of the investigation and ensuing civil case, Jackson and his team put various young boys on the witness stand and in front of cameras.

One is 10-year-old Wade Robson, an Australian boy who first met the megastar five years earlier, when he won a Michael Jackson dance contest in Brisbane. Within a few years, Robson had moved with his mother to Los Angeles with Jackson's encouragement.

In 1993, Robson's mother talked to CNN about her child's "slumber parties" with the singer.

"They play so hard, they fall asleep, they're exhausted," she tells the interviewer. "There's nothing more to it than that."

In Leaving Neverland, Robson says: "I was excited by the idea of being able to defend him. And being able to save him."

December 1993: La Toya Jackson says that abuse allegations are true

On Dec. 8, at a press conference held while on tour in Tel Aviv, Jackson's estranged sister La Toya alleges that the abuse accusations against Michael are true.

"This is very difficult for me," she says. "Michael is my brother. ... But I cannot, and I will not, be a silent collaborator of his crimes against small, innocent children." She claims that their mother, Katherine Jackson, has shown her checks that Michael allegedly made out to the families of some very young boys, at least one allegedly as young as nine years old. She says that the amounts paid out were substantial, though she doesn't specify any sums.

LaToya Jackson also repeats her claim that she and her siblings were abused, including sexually abused, by their parents. It's an assertion she first made at least two years earlier in her 1991 autobiography La Toya: Growing Up in the Jackson Family.

Other members of the family, including Katherine Jackson, rally to Michael's defense. The Washington Post quotes Katherine as saying, "La Toya is lying and I'll tell her to her face she's lying," adding that her daughter was "trying to make money off of [Michael's] downfall."

In a follow-up interview with the Today show's Katie Couric, La Toya Jackson claims that their mother had shown her such checks as early as "around '84." However, she tells Couric she can't prove that the alleged checks were meant as hush money, nor has she ever seen him in bed with a boy herself.

In 2011, in a second autobiography called Starting Over, La Toya Jackson retracted her allegations against both her brother Michael and her father Joe, saying that she was forced to make them by her husband at the time, whom she accused of being abusive.

"My family and Michael knew that wasn't really me talking," the Daily Beast quotes her as saying in an interview. "I never believed for a minute my brother was guilty of anything like that."

February 2003: Living with Michael Jackson documentary airs in the U.K. and U.S.

The documentary, reported by journalist Martin Bashir, includes footage of Jackson holding hands with and cradling a young teenager, then identified as a cancer survivor, and says that they share a bed. Both Jackson and the boy deny that anything untoward is going on. "My greatest inspiration comes from kids," Jackson says to Bashir indignantly, while holding onto the child. "It's all inspired from that level of innocence, that consciousness of purity."

After the documentary airs, Jackson issues a statement denying any wrongdoing, and says that he is "devastated" by Bashir's portrayal of him. Nevertheless, Living with Michael Jackson sparks a criminal investigation.

November 20, 2003: Police book Jackson on child molestation charges

Two days after raiding Neverland, Jackson's famous ranch in Santa Barbara County, Calif., the sheriff's office arrests Jackson on charges of child molestation, but does not immediately disclose details of the charges or identify the victim.

Jackson's lawyer, Mark Geragos, calls the charges "a big lie." After posting $3 million in bail the same day and surrendering his passport, Jackson is allowed to go free as he awaits trial.

Jackson is eventually indicted on 10 criminal counts, including child molestation, abduction, false imprisonment and extortion.

February 28, 2005: Jackson's criminal case goes to trial

After being charged in late 2003 and then given additional charges the following April, Jackson is put on trial. The victim is identified as Gavin Arvizo, the young man who appeared in the Bashir documentary; he is among those who testify at the trial.

Among those testifying in Jackson's defense are actor Macaulay Culkin and Wade Robson. (By 2005, Robson is a noted choreographer and songwriter, who has created dance routines for the likes of Britney Spears and 'NSYNC, and who has already had his own show on MTV.)

They are described as "special friends" of Jackson who have slept with the singer in his bed. The men deny that Jackson has touched them or otherwise acted inappropriately. According to The Washington Post, Robson's mother, Joy, says of the singer: "Unless you know him, it's hard to understand him. ... He's not the boy next door."

Gavin Arvizo is now aged 14, and says on the stand that Jackson masturbated him; Gavin's brother corroborates his claim, and says that Jackson gave them alcohol and showed them pornography. Gavin's mother, Janet Arvizo, also appears as a witness; the BBC describes her testimony as " combative and rambling." A former member of Jackson's household staff, Blanca Francia, testifies that she saw the singer taking a shower with Robson. Francia's son also alleges that Jackson has molested him.

Years later, Robson claims he lied at the 2005 trial. According to a 2014 Daily Beast article, prosecutors wanted to name Safechuck - who had provided a witness statement defending Jackson in the 1993 suit - as one of the singer's alleged victims. However, Safechuck declined to participate in the 2005 trial, and the prosecution excluded him as a potential victim. Safechuck claims later that he had lied in the statement he gave to prosecutors in the 1993 investigation.

June 13, 2005: Jackson is acquitted of all criminal charges

After a trial that had a circus-like atmosphere and whose proceedings seemed to sometimes be upstaged by Jackson's antics (including showing up late in pajamas on one occasion), the singer is acquitted of all charges. At least some of the jurors seem to place the onus on the alleged victim's mother, Janet Arvizo. according to NPR. Allowing a child to sleep with any non-family member, one of the female jurors asks, according to NPR, "What mother in her right mind would allow that to happen?"

Within months, prosecutors charge Janet Arvizo with fraud and perjury related to statements made at the Jackson trial; she accepts a plea agreement the following year.

June 25, 2009: Michael Jackson dies, age 50

The singer is found unresponsive at his home in Holmby Hills, Calif. At the time of his death, his family releases a statement saying that it is believed that he died of cardiac arrest.

On Nov. 11, 2011, a doctor, Conrad Murray, is found guilty of involuntary manslaughter in Jackson's death for having administered a deadly dose of the anesthetic propofol.

During the trial, the New York Times reports that Murray, who had been hired as Jackson's personal physician, "had stayed with Jackson at least six nights a week and was regularly asked - and sometimes begged - by the insomniac singer to give him drugs powerful enough to put him to sleep."

2013-2014: Wade Robson and James Safechuck file suits against the Jackson estate and his companies

The Daily Beast reports in 2013 that after very publicly and repeatedly defending Jackson, Robson now says that Jackson sexually molested him for seven years.

Two years later, in May 2015, a judge in Los Angeles County Superior Court, Mitchell L. Beckloff, dismisses Robson's suit against the estate, saying that he waited too long to file his claim. In December 2017, the same judge dismisses the rest of Robson's suit, filed against Jackson's two companies, MJJ Productions and MJJ Ventures, because the two corporations could not be found liable for Jackson's alleged behavior. Notably, neither of these judgments address the credibility of Robson's accusations.

James Safechuck files a similar suit against MJJ Productions and MJJ Ventures in 2014, alleging that Jackson abused him on "hundreds" of occasions between 1988 and 1992. Beckloff, who is also the presiding judge in this suit, rejects Safechuck's suit in June 2017 on the same grounds he gave Robson.

March 3, 2019: Leaving Neverland begins airing on HBO

After debuting at Sundance in late January, the two-part, four-hour documentary begins airing. Jackson's estate has already filed suit against the network, claiming that damages could exceed $100 million. Its petition begins: "Michael Jackson is innocent. Period."

The estate also argues that HBO has violated a non-disparagement agreement that it made with the singer in order to air a concert special, Live in Bucharest: The Dangerous Tour, back in 1992. (That program was a megahit when it aired, scoring HBO its highest-rated special ever at that time.) In a bid for positive counter-programming, Jackson's estate releases the 1992 film on YouTube at the same time as Leaving Neverland's broadcast premiere.

"In producing this fictional work," the suit continues, "HBO ignored its contractual obligations to Michael and his companies by disparaging both him and the Dangerous World Tour that HBO had previously profited from immensely." The estate also calls Robson and Safechuck "two admitted perjurers," and accuses them of "practicing their stories and rehearsing their lines ... for years now."

In an interview on All Things Considered, filmmaker Dan Reed says that two different threads drew him to telling the two men's stories.

"It's the complexity that drew me into wanting to really tell the story," Reed says, "which is that in an abusive pedophile relationship there is both love, affection, mentoring, friendship, caring - and there is sexual abuse. Those two things coexist."

March 14, 2019: Louis Vuitton backs off its Michael Jackson-inspired designs

Less than two weeks after Leaving Neverland airs on HBO, the luxury fashion house Louis Vuitton seeks distance from the late pop icon, whose signature looks had helped inspire much of its fall 2019 menswear collection.

The company had showcased the collection at a show on Jan. 17, or just over a week before the documentary was screened publicly for the first time at the Sundance Film Festival. In a statement shared exclusively with WWD, the company's top executives said they were unaware of the documentary - and its "deeply troubling and disturbing" allegations - at the time of their own show.

"I am aware that in light of this documentary the show has caused emotional reactions," Virgil Abloh, the artistic director of menswear at the company, said in the statement. "I strictly condemn any form of child abuse, violence or infringement against any human rights."

The company also told WWD that it would not produce anything that "directly features Michael Jackson elements," and that its final collection will "purely reflect the true values of the brand and of our artistic director."

One of the biggest controversies that happened in the Paris Olympics, During the Paris Olympic, there were many cases about sexual assults, dirty waters, no hijabs, and many more. By that time, when some of the female players played tennis,France's Caroline Garcia and Diane Parry and Italy's Sara Errani and Jasmine Paolini were commented by one of the commentators on RMC Radio saying: "On the left, there's Sara Errani, who's the boss. She does everything: the washing up, the cooking, the mopping up." From that we can conclude that most of the commentators were sexist. Eventually the Eurosport suspended a commentator for making sexist comments about the players. Not only that, but they also had really dirty waters during the swimming competition. Even though, the government of Paris has placed an amount of $ 1.5 billion, but the waters seems to be contaminated. Swimming has been prohibited in the River of Seine, many reported that, the athletes health may be effected because of swimming in the river.

Taylor Swift, She began her career at such an early age.When she was 11 she sang "The star-Spangled Banner" before a philadephia 76ers basketball game. At 12 years old she began learning the guitar and she submitted a karaoke covers of Dolly and Dixie Chicks to record labels. When she was 13, Her parents sold their farm in pennsylvania to move to Tennessee. She signed with Sony/ATV as a songwriter at just 14 years old. At venues in Nashville, she would perform many songs she has written, and at one performence she was noticed by the executive Scott Borchetta. Borchetta signed Swift to his fledgling Big Machine label, and her first single "Tim McGraw". Then from there her career only grew, even though the process was not easy. But now in 2024 she is a world wide singer and songwriter with 11 original albums, 4 recorded albums, 5 extended plays (EP's) and 4 live albums. She is now on a world your called "The Eras Tour", which will be ending this year. My opinion is that she is an inspiring women. She is brave and independent. She loves making people happy, she has helped millions of people around the world.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Taylor Swift (born December 13, 1989, West Reading, Pennsylvania, U.S.) American pop and country music singer-songwriter whose tales of young heartache achieved widespread success in the early 21st century.

Early life

Swift showed an interest in music at an early age, and she progressed quickly from roles in children's theater to her first appearance before a crowd of thousands. She was age 11 when she sang " The Star-Spangled Banner" before a Philadelphia 76ers basketball game, and the following year she picked up the guitar and began to write songs. Taking her inspiration from country music artists such as Shania Twain and the Dixie Chicks (now the Chicks), Swift crafted original material that reflected her experiences of tween alienation. When she was 13, Swift's parents sold their farm in Pennsylvania to move to Hendersonville, Tennessee, so she could devote more of her time to courting country labels in nearby Nashville.

A development deal with RCA Records allowed Swift to make the acquaintance of recording-industry veterans, and in 2004, at age 14, she signed with Sony/ATV as a songwriter. At venues in the Nashville area, she performed many of the songs she had written, and it was at one such performance that she was noticed by record executive Scott Borchetta. Borchetta signed Swift to his fledgling Big Machine label, and her first single, "Tim McGraw" (inspired by and prominently referencing a song by Swift's favorite country artist), was released in the summer of 2006.

Debut album and Fearless

The song was an immediate success, spending eight months on the Billboard country singles chart. Now age 16, Swift followed with a self-titled debut album, and she went on tour, opening for Rascal Flatts. Taylor Swift was certified platinum in 2007, having sold more than one million copies in the United States, and Swift continued a rigorous touring schedule, opening for artists such as George Strait, Kenny Chesney, Tim McGraw, and Faith Hill. That November Swift received the Horizon Award for best new artist from the Country Music Association (CMA), capping the year in which she emerged as country music's most-visible young star.

On Swift's second album, Fearless (2008), she demonstrated a refined pop sensibility, managing to court the mainstream pop audience without losing sight of her country roots. With sales of more than half a million copies in its first week, Fearless opened at number one on the Billboard 200 chart. It ultimately spent more time atop that chart than any other album released that decade. Singles such as "You Belong with Me" and "Love Story" were popular in the digital market as well, the latter accounting for more than four million paid downloads.

Kanye West incident at the VMAs, Red, and 1989

In 2009 Swift embarked on her first tour as a headliner, playing to sold-out venues across North America. That year also saw Swift dominate the industry award circuit. Fearless was recognized as album of the year by the Academy of Country Music in April, and she topped the best female video category for "You Belong with Me" at the MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) in September. During her VMA acceptance speech, Swift was interrupted by rapper Kanye West, who protested that the award should have gone to Beyoncé for what he called "one of the best videos of all time." Later in the program, when Beyoncé was accepting the award for video of the year, she invited Swift onstage to conclude her speech, a move that drew a standing ovation for both performers. At the CMA Awards that November, Swift won all four categories in which she was nominated. Her recognition as CMA entertainer of the year made her the youngest-ever winner of that award, as well as the first female solo artist to win since 1999. She began 2010 with an impressive showing at the Grammy Awards, where she collected four honors, including best country song, best country album, and the top prize of album of the year.

Later that year Swift made her feature-film debut in the romantic comedy Valentine's Day and was named the new spokesperson for CoverGirl cosmetics. Although Swift avoided discussing her personal life in interviews, she was surprisingly frank in her music. Her third album, Speak Now (2010), was littered with allusions to romantic relationships with John Mayer, Joe Jonas of the Jonas Brothers, and Twilight series actor Taylor Lautner. Swift reclaimed the CMA entertainer of the year award in 2011, and the following year she won Grammys for best country solo performance and best country song for "Mean," a single from Speak Now.

Swift continued her acting career with a voice role in the animated Dr. Seuss' The Lorax (2012) before releasing her next collection of songs, Red (2012). While she remained focused on the vagaries of young love, her songwriting reflected a deepened perspective on the subject, and much of the album embraced a bold pop-rock sound. In its first week on sale in the United States, Red sold 1.2 million copies-the highest one-week total in 10 years. In addition, its lead single, the gleeful "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together," gave Swift her first number-one hit on the Billboard pop singles chart.

In 2014 Swift released 1989, an album titled after the year of her birth and reportedly inspired by the music of that era. Although Swift had already been steadily moving away from the traditional country signifiers that marked her early work-"I Knew You Were Trouble," the second single from Red, even flirted with electronic dance music-she called 1989 her first "official pop album." On the strength of the upbeat "Shake It Off," the album proved to be another blockbuster for Swift, its first-week sales surpassing those of Red. It went on to sell more than five million copies in the United States and earned Swift her second Grammy for album of the year. In 2014 Swift also appeared in a supporting role in The Giver, a film adaptation of Lois Lowry's dystopian novel for young readers.

Reputation, Lover, Folklore, Evermore, Midnights, and controversies

In 2016 Swift's feud with Kanye West resumed after he released the single "Famous." The song included a lyric in which Swift was referred to as a "bitch," and she alleged that it was misogynistic. The public spat escalated after West's wife, Kim Kardashian, released a recording of a phone call in which Swift gave her approval for the line, though West made no mention of calling her a bitch. Swift's controversies continued as she took part in a widely publicized civil trial in August 2017, after former radio host David Mueller sued the singer, her mother, and a promoter, claiming that Swift had falsely accused him of sexually groping her in 2013 during the taking of a photograph and thus destroyed his career. She countersued, maintaining that the assault had taken place. At the trial, Swift was removed from Mueller's suit and the other two defendants were found not liable as the jury found in favor of Swift's countersuit. Shortly thereafter Swift released the hit song "Look What You Made Me Do," and her album Reputation became the top-selling American LP of 2017.

In 2018 Swift left Big Machine and signed with Republic Records and Universal Music Group. The following year her former label, which owned the master recordings of her six albums, was sold to Scooter Braun, a talent manager whose clients had included Kanye West. Swift publicly spoke out against the deal, claiming that Borchetta had rejected her attempts to acquire the master tapes and that Braun had bullied her over the years. She subsequently tried to negotiate a deal with Braun, but he sold her back catalog to a private investment firm in 2020. Against this backdrop, Swift began rerecording her early material in an effort to gain control of it-the hope being that her remade songs and not the originals would be sought out for licensing deals-and in 2021 Fearless (Taylor's Version) and Red (Taylor's Version) appeared. They were remakes of earlier albums with several previously unreleased tracks. In July 2023 Swift released Speak Now (Taylor's Version), followed by 1989 (Taylor's Version) in October that same year.

In 2019 Swift released her seventh album, Lover, which she described as "a love letter to love itself." That year she also appeared in the musical Cats, a film adaptation of Andrew Lloyd Webber's hugely successful stage production. Miss Americana (2020) is a documentary about her life and career. With little advance notice, she released Folklore in 2020. A departure from her previous pop-inspired work, Swift's eighth studio album drew praise for its introspection and restraint, and it won the Grammy for album of the year. The "sister record," Evermore, appeared later in 2020. Swift adopted a synth-pop sound for the candid Midnights (2022), which she described as "the story of 13 sleepless nights scattered throughout my life."

March 2023 marked the start of Swift's first concert tour since 2018, her sixth tour overall. When sales for tickets opened on Ticketmaster in November 2022, many fans were disappointed by technical issues and waits that lasted up to multiple days. After two rounds of presales, general sales were canceled due to unprecedented demand. Swift expressed disappointment about the situation but did not mention Ticketmaster in her response.

In December 2023, Swift was honored as Time magazine's "Person of the Year." Finalists also included Barbie, Vladimir Putin, and Sam Altman. The honor came shortly after the music streaming platform Spotify deemed her its most-played artist. According to a Bloomberg analysis, Swift is now a billionaire, with a net worth of around $1.1 billion. On a Forbes list of the most powerful women of 2023, Swift placed fifth.

smartschoolboy9 case

The issue first gained traction in April 2024, when Reddit user u/NumerousCut792 posted on the Instagram subreddit about encountering several unsettling Instagram profiles. These accounts have children dressed in high heels and school uniforms, making the Redditor question whether something more sinister was going on. Among the accounts highlighted were @smartschoolboy9, @truth_sticks_11, and @girl.chloe12. As online users began digging deeper, a chilling pattern of disturbing content and interactions with minors emerged.

Through extensive research, Crowley and other online investigators traced these accounts back to one individual: David Walter Alter, a 59-year-old man. The accounts, initially appearing innocuous, progressively displayed more explicit content involving children, often in AI-generated or edited images. What made the situation more concerning was the accounts' interactions with real children on social media, raising fears about the intent behind these posts.

In his documentary, Crowley explains how the online community uncovered Alter’s web of Instagram accounts, which seemed to follow and interact with each other to appear legitimate. Alter, who allegedly lived in Doncaster, South Yorkshire, was reportedly driven out due to his behavior, with speculation suggesting he now resides in Streatham, London. Despite these allegations, South Yorkshire Police have neither confirmed nor denied any ongoing investigation into Alter.

The accounts themselves, particularly @smartschoolboy9, displayed increasingly bizarre content. The individual behind the account often dressed in school uniforms, with a white-painted face and high-heeled boots, further fueling suspicions. Some videos even showed him in public spaces near schools, raising additional concerns about potential real-world actions.

While rumors of his past misconduct, including interactions with teenage students, circulate online, many remain unverified. The accounts in question have since been removed from Instagram, but similar replicas continue to appear, complicating the investigation. Crowley warns viewers in his documentary against attempting to contact Alter, emphasizing that many aspects of this case remain unresolved, leaving the public anxiously awaiting more definitive answers.

in my opinion, this guy is disgusting because he is a pedophile who dresses up as a kid.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
He's clearly a deeply disturbed - not to say creepy - individual who likes to dress up as schoolchildren and post weird, unsettling and in some cases revolting videos and images on the internet.

For now, his true identity remains unknown. But there is no doubt that the chilling case of 'Smartschoolboy9' has sent parts of internet into a collective tailspin.

Online sleuths around the world are furiously trying to work out his real name and accurate location - though he is thought to be in south London.

A single YouTube video investigating the case has some ten million views, while posts on TikTok, Reddit, X and other sites have collectively amassed millions of views, as people share competing theories and assess the evidence.

The case of Smartschoolboy9 may turn out to be a sick prank - or he may be a child predator at large, flaunting his paedophile predilections.

So why has he drawn such horrified fascination?

According to American YouTuber Nick Crowley - who has 2.6million subscribers - the origins of this chilling episode began on Instagram in 2021 when several accounts were launched in succession.

The first, 'truth_sticks_11', claimed to be run by a 12-year-old boy and his mother. It started posting pictures of a young blond boy, who may in fact have been an AI creation all along.

'Beautiful boy and account looked after by me, a degree-educated mother, choosing to stay anonymous,' the 'mother' oddly announced.

The photos began fairly normally, showing a young boy at school.

Over time, however, they became ever more strange, with the child's face digitally distorted to feature huge pouting lips enhanced with red lipstick and featuring a protruding tongue.

The face was whitened, the hair yellowed, the eyes piercingly blue. The final image was cartoonish and extremely unnerving.

The pictures also became grotesquely suggestive, some reportedly veering towards child pornography.

At times the boy's face was digitally moved on to scantily dressed adult bodies, while similarly manipulated images of other children showed them in contorted positions and even tied up.

The creator also appeared to have an obsession with women's high-heeled mini boots, with many of the images featuring children edited to appear to be wearing them.

A second Instagram account, 'girl.chloe12', claimed to belong to a 13-year-old who shared the same obsession with the high-heeled boots.

Crowley and others have argued this was classic 'fetish content' - but horribly focused on children.

The third account, 'Smartschoolboy9', was altogether more chilling.

It consisted of photos and videos of an overweight man dressed as a hideous caricature of a schoolboy, much of his face painted white with bright red lipstick and wearing those same high-heeled mini space boots - an unnerving real-life imitation of the AI-generated boy in the first account, albeit with a receding hairline.

He spoke with a disturbing high-pitched voice and his tongue was almost permanently protruding.

Some of the videos showed this individual 'in costume' in the hallway of a terraced London house apparently after arriving home from school.

Another showed him on a bus supposedly heading to school and another walking down the street.

Others were even more sinister, which understandably attracted particular alarm, in which he appeared to be chasing a real little boy, giggling, through a park.

Internet sleuths say they've discovered evidence that the poster has created at least a dozen similar accounts, all of them involving fictitious children - such as 13-year-old poet 'Stefanie' - publishing sexually suggestive posts and eerily messaging each other if as if they were friends.

Photos have emerged of the man dressed obscenely as Stefanie, complete with school uniform, wig, boater and short skirt.

Crowley and many others suspect that the man behind Smartschoolboy9 could be a sexual predator who is trying to reach genuine children.

Has he already claimed any victims? Pictures of numerous children posted by Smartschoolboy9 don't appear elsewhere on the internet, suggesting he has been contacting children privately before sharing their photos online, says Mr Crowley.

With photos suggesting he is following real children around and that footage of him chasing the boy, internet users have become determined to unmask the real individual and alert the authorities.

There are several clues. His posts including frequent shots of specific parts of Streatham, south London. Smartschoolboy9 also repeatedly mentions someone he calls David, leading many to suspect that that is his real name. He has also claimed to be in his 50s.

Recently, fresh video footage was posted on X, apparently filmed by a group of children, and claiming to show the south London terraced house where the man lives.

Disturbingly, as the children were filming outside, a hand appeared from inside the house, clinging to the front door.

In London, police in Greenwich reportedly circulated a message on social media saying that a man was 'pretending to be a child and engaging with kids on social media,' adding: 'An investigation is ongoing, but his intentions are unclear. Stay vigilant and talk to your children about online safety.' The post was later removed.

The Met confirmed yesterday that it has been made aware of at least one video linked to Smartschoolboy9, in this case showing the man dressed as a schoolboy walking down a corridor.

It told the Daily Mail in a statement: 'We are aware of the video being posted online. As no crime has been committed in the content of the video, we are not investigating anything at this time.'

On Wednesday, the respected organisation Safer Schools put out an alert, saying that its 'online safeguarding team' had received reports of someone who posed a 'serious risk' and was 'potentially masquerading as a child on social media in order to interact with children'.

It went on: 'Copycat accounts have emerged, and videos related to this issue are circulating in some schools. This has caused fear and anxiety among some younger children who have been exposed to this harmful content.'

Some schools are already putting out their own warnings to parents on social media, saying children may be watching SmartSchoolBoy9. One concerned Hertfordshire primary school said that the material was 'highly inappropriate' and stressed that children shouldn't be watching it.

No doubt that's true. But until the individual is definitively unmasked, it seems unlikely that the rising panic will stop.

Roman Polanski Case

Oscar-winning filmmaker Roman Polanski, a polish, refused to commit his crime at the court after seducing and having sex with a 13-year-old victim. When Roman Polanski was a child, a polish couple took him in and protected him when he was a child, saving him from the Holocaust during World War II. After winning the award, he returned back to Poland, the country of his youth, and paid tribute on Thursday to the Polish couple.

The 88-year-old Polanski, who now lives in France, traveled to Poland for the occasion. That’s one of the very few countries Polanski can travel to safely given that he remains a fugitive from U.S law after pleading guilty to unlawful sex with a minor in 1977 and fleeing the United States the following year.

He was nominated for Oscars for 1974’s “Chinatown” and 1979’s “Tess,” won the best directur statuette for “The Pianist” in 2003. But he wasn’t able to accept it because he faces arrest in the U.S.

Polanski’s 13-year-old victim, named Samantha Jane Gailey (now Samantha Geimer) testified before a grand jury that during a photo shoot at Jack Nicholson’s house in March 1977 when the actor wasn’t home, Polanski gave a her champagne and part of a sedative, then forcing her to have sex and raping her. The girl said she didn’t fight him because he was afriad of him but her mother later called police.

The girl refused to testify in court, Polanski pleaded guilty to unlawful sex with a minor in exchange for prosecutors dropping drug, rape and sodomy charges. After a report by probation that Polanski should serve no time behind bars, Rittenband sent the director to state prison for a 90-day diagnostic evaluation to help determine what punishment he should face.

The lowest-ranked national soccer team in the world

San Marino had one of the greatest results in the nation’s history which started in the 4th century Ce, because they had attended 212 games but lost all except 12 and only won 2. Marcello Mularoni is one of San Marino’s more important player, but most of the time Mularoni is a business consultant (finding ways to improve company’s flow) so he has only made 45 appearances in the games for his country, because of that people call it the “double life” which is why San Marino has struggled over the years, but on the bright side San Marino’s have learned how to remain unbeaten  a fan account called @SanMarino_FA has gain 178k followers which is 5 times as many people as the population of the country itself but people still support and people from other country respect them because they are “unique” and they work “hard” for their team.

In my opinion about this news is that, Morton did a great job on being the fastest time cycling around Australia. It's really easy to do it, but Morton can do it very well. It's not easy to break the fastest lap of Australia dan to beat someone. There's a lot of things that he already been through to get at this point, for me it's something that we need to appreciate him, because we know that it's not easy to do it. In my opinion he did his best to achieve it and he deserves to get an appreciation for his hard work.

In October 7 2024 Lachlan Morton sets fastest time cycling around Australia. It took 30 days, nine hours and 59 minutes for Morton to complete a full lap – just over 8,800 miles or 14,200 kilometers - of his vast country in record time, arriving back in his hometown of Port Macquarie on Saturday. During his travels, the professional cyclist braved brutal headwinds, extreme temperatures, dangerous traffic and even dusted himself off after a run-in with a kangaroo. That’s all while cycling an average of 450km a day, spending up to 17 or 18 hours on a bike daily, stopping only to sleep, eat and mentally reset before doing it all again. Morton easily broke the record for the fastest lap of Australia – beating David Alley’s time of 37 days, 20 hours and 45 minutes set in 2011 – when he rolled back into Port Macquarie, which is a four-hour, 15-minute drive north of Sydney.

In my opinion Tupac should be killed because he is quite dangerous because he open about the case and can affect the bad boy record , P diddy and other artist.

LOS ANGELES (AP) - As the investigation into the 1996 killing of Tupac Shakur ramped up, prosecutors dug into the past and took the grand jury back to some of the most pivotal moments in the East-West Coast rap rivalry.

The animosity began when Shakur was ambushed and wounded at a New York City recording studio in 1994 and culminated with his death in a drive-by shooting in Las Vegas, according to grand jury testimony reviewed by The Associated Press. Six months later, his friend-turned-rival Notorious B.I.G, whose legal name is Christopher Wallace, was gunned down.

Shakur, 25, and Wallace, 24, died nearly three decades ago, but now there's a new wave of intrigue in their killings with the recent arrest of longtime suspect Duane "Keffe D" Davis. The indictment of Davis is the first in Shakur's slaying and raises questions about the unsolved murder of Wallace.

Davis has only briefly appeared in court and has another hearing Oct. 19. Hundreds of pages of grand jury testimony detail how he rose from a street-level drug dealer in Compton to drug kingpin enmeshed in the feud between Shakur and Wallace to the ringleader who is accused of masterminding and ordering Shakur's fatal shooting.

Here's what ignited the volatile feud:

Friends turned foes

Before Shakur was shot in 1994, he and Wallace were friends and performed on stage together.

"It was an intense, personal and beautiful friendship," said Justin Tinsley, author of the 2022 Wallace biography "It Was All a Dream." He said in their early 20s, the rappers ran around Shakur's backyard with unloaded guns playing a game of cops and robbers.

They hung out together on the set of the 1993 film "Poetic Justice," which starred Janet Jackson and Shakur. But the following year, when Shakur was wounded in a shooting in the lobby of a midtown Manhattan hotel and robbed of $40,000, the tenor of their relationship changed.

Shakur found out that the night of that attack, Wallace and Sean "Diddy" Combs were together in a recording studio. He openly accused them of knowing about the planned attack, which both vehemently denied. For years, his accusations divided the rap community and fans.

East vs. West coasts

Less than 24 hours after the 1994 shooting, Shakur made a court appearance in a wheelchair on sex-assault charges against him. A jury sentenced him to more than a year in prison. While he was locked up, Wallace released the 1994 song "Who Shot Ya?"

Shakur saw the record as a taunt, though Wallace claimed the song was written months before the shooting and not directed toward him. Shakur, who was born in East Harlem, New York, came to represent the West Coast since signing with Los Angeles-based Death Row Records after his prison stint.

Wallace and Combs hail from Brooklyn and Harlem, and are represented by New York City-based Bad Boy Records. Malcolm Greenidge, a rapper known as E.D.I. Mean and Shakur's lifelong friend, described the deep rift between labels as "rap beef."

Reggie Wright Jr., a former security chief at Death Row Records, said the rift escalated when label co-founder Marion "Suge" Knight made a public statement disrespecting Combs at the 1995 Source Awards held in New York.

Later that year, Tha Dogg Pound and Snoop Dogg released the single "New York, New York," angering native New Yorkers who felt disrespected by the West Coast artists filming in their city. The music video showed the rappers kicking over a New York skyscraper.

The following year, Shakur released the aggressive single "Hit 'Em Up," which took aim at Wallace and bragged about sleeping with his wife, the singer Faith Evans.

"It's still one of the top three most diss songs talked about in the hip-hop community as far as rap labels and disrespect to another label and their family members" goes, Wright said.

The hostility continued backstage at the 1996 Soul Train Awards in Los Angeles because Wallace was chosen over Shakur to open the show, Wright said.

Los Angeles factions

Robert Ladd, a former police homicide detective and expert on gangs in Compton, testified that Davis was a shot caller of the Burris Street Crew, a South Side Crips faction, whose drug-dealing empire operated at "the highest level there is."

"He used to sell drugs on the street when he was a young kid, and I watched him grow up to be one of the biggest narcotics dealers in Compton," he told the grand jury.

Ladd also testified that after the shooting, his boss told him: "They're saying it's South Side Crips so get ready, it's coming back to Compton."

Leading up to the 1996 Las Vegas shooting, Davis' nephew, Orlando Anderson, and several other members of the South Side Crips beat up one of Knight's bodyguards. The attack was an effort at stealing the guard's Death Row Records necklace gifted from Knight at a mall in Lakewood, roughly 6 miles (10 kilometers) from downtown Compton, Ladd testified.

"It was very prestigious to these gang members to wear this," Ladd told the grand jury, "and they wore it like a badge of honor."

The violence that soon erupted between the South Side Crips and the Mob Piru, the local Bloods gang, in Compton was so devastating that Ladd called it the "Ten Day War."

"It blew up," Denvonta Lee, a former associate of Davis, said of the rivalry. He told the grand jury: "It was definitely a war."

1996 shooting in Las Vegas

On Sept. 7, 1996, Shakur, his associates, and their rivals watched Mike Tyson knock out Bruce Seldon in a championship fight at the MGM Grand casino. Shakur learned that Anderson was involved in a robbery attempt targeting his record label. With his entourage, the rapper darted toward Anderson and threw a punch in retaliation, which ignited the brawl.

After the casino fight, Shakur and Knight started to make their way to a nearby night club in a black BMW. They led a convoy of about 10 cars that included friends, body guards and Death Row artists on the glitzy Las Vegas Strip, a brightly lit area bustling with casinos, store fronts and tourists.

Authorities have said a white Cadillac with four men inside pulled alongside the BMW on a quieter street off the Strip. One person from the Cadillac opened fire, riddling the passenger side of Knight's car with bullets, police said. Sitting in the passenger seat, Shakur was shot multiple times, at least twice in the chest. Knight was grazed by a bullet fragment or shrapnel.

Greenidge, who described the rapper as a professional mentor, told the grand jury he was in the convoy. He said he ran to Shakur's side after the shooting and police told him to lie on the asphalt. He recalled Shakur telling him: "Get on the ground, they're going to shoot you."

Police found the BMW with blood spilled on the seats and nearly 10 bullet strikes on the right side of the car, according to testimony from Daniel Ford, a retired Las Vegas police officer who responded to the shooting. Ford said police tried but couldn't find evidence of fingerprints on the seven cartridge cases found at the scene.

Duane "Keffe D" Davis' role

Davis, now 60, was one of three men in the Cadillac when Shakur and Knight were targeted in the drive-by shooting. Authorities accuse him of giving orders from the front passenger seat and providing the gun used in the killing.

Lee, who testified that he was part of Davis' circle, said he wasn't in Las Vegas at the time of the shooting because he was in jail for the mall attack. But he recalled for the jury a conversation he had days later with his roommate at the time in South Los Angeles, Deandrae Smith, who was in the back seat of the Cadillac.

According to Smith's version of events, Lee said, Davis handed his nephew the gun, but Anderson didn't have a clear shot. So Smith, who was sitting next to Anderson, took the weapon, opened fire and let Anderson take credit for the shooting, Lee said.

"Keffe is the one who's going to make all the arrangements and all the plans until that gun goes into somebody else's hand," Lee said.

Lee described himself and the three men in the Cadillac with Davis that night as Davis' foot soldiers.

"If Keffe D told you to do something, would you do it?" a prosecutor asked.

"At that time, yes," Lee responded.

Tupac's death rocked Biggie

Shakur, one of hip-hop's most prolific figures and a rising actor, fought for his life after the shooting. He was taken to the hospital, where he died six days later.

Tinsley, who authored Wallace's 2022 biography, said one of the rapper's longtime friends told him Shakur's death hit Wallace in a "very visceral and deep way."

"Biggie cried," Tinsley said. "He was like, 'I always thought we were going to have a chance to reconnect.'"

"He felt like if Tupac could be touched, if Tupac could die ... he was scared," Tinsley said.

Six months later, on March 9, 1997, Wallace was also killed in a drive-by shooting - while leaving a music industry party in an upscale area of central Los Angeles.

After 2 and a half years, Lonzo Ball finally returns back to the NBA after his cartilage and meniscus transplant. After his injury in 2018 he has been inconsistent in being able to attend games which eventually led to his 2 year break from basketball. But after years of recovery and treatment he finally returned on the 17th of October against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Lonzo Ball was subbed in midway in the first quarter for Josh Giddy and didn't take long for him to make an impact on the game with an open three from the left corner with 5:25 left in the quarter. After the game many of his teammates congratulated and applauded him for being able to play again after such a serious surgery. Although Lonzo Ball is able to play again, he has been put on a play limit for each game and is unable to play back to back games.

https://www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news/bulls-preseason-ball-returns/#:~:text=Ball%20made%20his%20long-awaited,since%20Jan.%2014%2C%202022.

When the moment finally arrived, after multiple knee surgeries and one grueling rehab, Lonzo Ball raised his right arm and blew a kiss to the cheering crowd.

Fans rose to their feet as the announcement echoed through the arena: "Checking in for the Chicago Bulls! No. 2! Lonzo Ball!"

It was a moment nearly three years in the making.

Ball made his long-awaited return, scoring 10 points in 15 minutes in the Bulls' 125-123 preseason victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Wednesday night. The point guard also had an assist, a steal and a block in his first appearance since Jan. 14, 2022.

"It felt a lot better playing than watching, I'll say that much," he said. "I can't even really put into words how I felt out there."

Ball, who turns 27 on Oct. 27, underwent a cartilage and meniscus transplant in his left knee last year after several procedures failed to fix his injury. He thought he "was moving great" and the knee gave him no trouble "at all."

Ball got a rousing ovation when he subbed in for Josh Giddey following a timeout midway through the first quarter. It didn't take Ball long to make an impact. He nailed an open 3-pointer from the left corner off a feed from a driving Nikola Vucevic with 5:25 left in the period, drawing another big roar from the crowd.

"Just blessed, man," Ball said. "There were a lot of people that helped me get here, not just myself. Just to see the crowd and all the love I get from the city, man, you cannot replicate that in any type of way. And it's real."

Several players expressed their support and respect for Ball in the team's postgame meeting. Coby White presented the game ball and LaVine handed Ball a jersey that appeared to be signed by the team.

The Bulls have one more exhibition against Cleveland on Friday before opening the season at New Orleans on Oct. 23. Ball said he will "for sure" play against the Cavaliers. He will start the season on a minutes restriction and won't play games on back-to-back days.

The Bulls had Ball on a 16-minute limit against Minnesota. They planned to have him get two roughly four-minute stints per half. But after playing nearly six minutes in the third quarter, he sat the rest of the way.

"I just give him a lot of credit," coach Billy Donovan said. "It was probably a lot, coming back being out for 2 1/2 years. You're playing your first game. I know it's not the regular season yet, but still, for him to get out in an NBA game - I know he's put a lot of work in to get himself ready for this moment."

The Bulls are still trying to get a handle on how much activity leads to soreness for Ball, let alone how the knee will respond to playing in a game. Chicago also has a crowd in the backcourt, with Coby White coming off a breakthrough season and Giddey in the mix following a trade from Oklahoma City.

Ball's tenure in Chicago got off to a good start following a sign-and-trade deal with New Orleans prior to the 2021-22 season. He averaged 13 points and 5.1 assists while shooting 42.3% on 3-pointers over 35 games before being derailed.

The Bulls initially thought Ball had a minor meniscus injury. But it turned out to be much more severe.

Ball had a cartilage transplant in March 2023, his third operation on the knee in a little more than a year. He revealed on his podcast last May that the surgery was more extensive.

Ball said he got a new meniscus to go with the cartilage transplant. He also underwent a bone allograft, where the replacement bone comes from another person. Ball said the issues dated to when he tore his meniscus in 2018 as a member of the Los Angeles Lakers.

Now - finally - he's playing again. Did he ever doubt this day would come?

"Not really, to be honest," he said. "I had a goal to get back on the court. I know it was a long journey, a long process, but it all paid off because this was what I was looking forward to. I'm just glad it's here now. I can finally go out and do what I love to do."

Opinion

In my personal opinion, the return of Lonzo Ball has been one of the greatest basketball moments in recent years. It was a moment of sportsmanship from the other players and a display of his will to play. I hope that he will be able to play even more games in the coming future.

When the moment finally arrived, after multiple knee surgeries and one grueling rehab, Lonzo Ball raised his right arm and blew a kiss to the cheering crowd.

Fans rose to their feet as the announcement echoed through the arena: "Checking in for the Chicago Bulls! No. 2! Lonzo Ball!"

It was a moment nearly three years in the making.

Ball made his long-awaited return, scoring 10 points in 15 minutes in the Bulls' 125-123 preseason victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Wednesday night. The point guard also had an assist, a steal and a block in his first appearance since Jan. 14, 2022.

Leon 8C

Joel Matip retired at the age of 33. He was also a German-born defender in Liverpool. He joined Liverpool as a free agent after leaving German club Schalke in the summer of 2016. He represented Cameroon on the international stage, making 27 appearances and featuring at the 2010 and also the 2014 World Cups. He won every single trophy, apart from the Europa League. He suffered several injuries during his time at Anfield, missing both of the 2019-20 and 2020-21 campaigns, before returning to play an important role as Liverpool was close to winning a historic quadruple in the 2021-22 season. He suffered another injury again (anterior cruciate ligament/ACL) that ended his career. He retired after making nearly 500 senior appearances, for his time at Liverpool, he played 201 games, scored 11 goals and helped his team win the Premier League, the Football Association Challenge Cup and the Champions League.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Former Liverpool defender Joel Matip has announced his retirement from professional football.

Matip left Liverpool in the summer following the expiry of his contract after spending eight hugely successful years on Merseyside.

The 33-year-old suffered an anterior cruciate ligament [ACL] injury on his last appearance for Liverpool against Fulham in December 2023 and has not played competitively since.

Matip joined Liverpool as a free agent after leaving German club Schalke in the summer of 2016, with manager Jurgen Klopp going on to hail the signing as one of his best ever.

"In a world of big transfer fees, to sign a player like Joel Matip on a free transfer is incredible," said Klopp back in 2019. "It was maybe one of the best pieces of business we did in the last few years."

Matip went on to make 201 appearances for Liverpool, including 150 in the Premier League, winning every domestic trophy he possibly could with the Reds, including helping the club end their 30-year wait for a top-flight title in 2019-20.

Matip also played a key role as Liverpool enjoyed Champions League success in 2019, assisting Divock Origi for the Reds' second goal in their 2-0 win over Tottenham in Madrid.

The centre-back did suffer several injury setbacks during his time at Anfield, missing large chunks of both the 2019-20 and 2020-21 campaigns, before returning to full fitness to play an integral role as Liverpool went close to winning an historic quadruple in the 2021-22 season.

Matip featured in 43 matches in all competitions that campaign, his most in a season for the club, playing in the League and FA Cup wins against Chelsea at Wembley, before injury struck once again last season to bring down the curtain on his glittering eight-year Reds career.

A statement published on Liverpool's website read: "Everybody at LFC wishes Joel and his family the very best for the future."

Born in Germany, Matip represented Cameroon on the international stage, making 27 appearances and featuring at the 2010 and 2014 World Cups.

'Matip was both a cult figure and a hugely-respected defender at Liverpool'
Analysis by Sky Sports' Richard Morgan:
"Joel Matip will go down as one of the most under-rated central defenders in Premier League history after his decision to hang up his boots, with Jurgen Klopp calling him one of the best signings he ever made.

"The lanky, German-born defender is only 33, but it seems all the injuries - and boy there were a lot during his eight years at Anfield - have finally caught up with him, despite there being some reports over the summer that he may take on one more Premier League assignment before calling it quits.

"Matip won every single trophy, apart from the Europa League, while at Liverpool and it says everything about how highly he was regarded at the club that, when fit, he was always chosen to partner Virgil van Dijk at the heart of the Reds' back line in over 200 games in all competitions.

"Mixed in with his rock-solid defending were touches of skill, whether it be bringing the ball out of defence, which he loved to do, or when setting up team-mates for goals as he did so memorably with a subtle flick for Divock Origi to help kill off Spurs to win the 2019 Champions League final at the Wanda Metropolitano.

"Liverpool fans view the former Cameroon international in cult-like status because of his wacky goal celebrations and his slightly awkward gait, but that does not mean he was not also a hugely admired and respected player at Anfield."

Tuesday September 11, 2001 | World Trade Center Attacked

Four planes were controlled by hijackers flew towards the Twin Tower in US. Two planes crashed into the skyscraper causing the 110-story building to collapse in less than 2 hours. The third plane destroyed Pentagon - the giant headquarters of the US military. The fourth plane crashed in a field in Pennsylvania.

There were 19 hijackers taking action in that incident. The Hijackers were Islamic terrorists that came from Saudi Arabia and several other Arab nations. All 246 passengers and crew on the plane were killed, at the Twin Towers, 2,606 people died, at the Pentagon, 125 people were killed.

The hijackers crashed the two planes at a specific floor in order to cause maximum damage. At the North Tower (WTC 1), American Airlines Flight 11 crashed in between the 93rd to 99th floors. At the South Tower (WTC 2), United Airlines Flight 175 crashed in between the 77th to 85th floors. These impacts cause a catastrophic impact, causing the towers to fall apart.

LOS ANGELES (AP) - As the investigation into the 1996 killing of Tupac Shakur ramped up, prosecutors dug into the past and took the grand jury back to some of the most pivotal moments in the East-West Coast rap rivalry.

The animosity began when Shakur was ambushed and wounded at a New York City recording studio in 1994 and culminated with his death in a drive-by shooting in Las Vegas, according to grand jury testimony reviewed by The Associated Press. Six months later, his friend-turned-rival Notorious B.I.G, whose legal name is Christopher Wallace, was gunned down.

Shakur, 25, and Wallace, 24, died nearly three decades ago, but now there's a new wave of intrigue in their killings with the recent arrest of longtime suspect Duane "Keffe D" Davis. The indictment of Davis is the first in Shakur's slaying and raises questions about the unsolved murder of Wallace.

Davis has only briefly appeared in court and has another hearing Oct. 19. Hundreds of pages of grand jury testimony detail how he rose from a street-level drug dealer in Compton to drug kingpin enmeshed in the feud between Shakur and Wallace to the ringleader who is accused of masterminding and ordering Shakur's fatal shooting.

Here's what ignited the volatile feud:

Friends turned foes

Before Shakur was shot in 1994, he and Wallace were friends and performed on stage together.

"It was an intense, personal and beautiful friendship," said Justin Tinsley, author of the 2022 Wallace biography "It Was All a Dream." He said in their early 20s, the rappers ran around Shakur's backyard with unloaded guns playing a game of cops and robbers.

They hung out together on the set of the 1993 film "Poetic Justice," which starred Janet Jackson and Shakur. But the following year, when Shakur was wounded in a shooting in the lobby of a midtown Manhattan hotel and robbed of $40,000, the tenor of their relationship changed.

Shakur found out that the night of that attack, Wallace and Sean "Diddy" Combs were together in a recording studio. He openly accused them of knowing about the planned attack, which both vehemently denied. For years, his accusations divided the rap community and fans.

East vs. West coasts

Less than 24 hours after the 1994 shooting, Shakur made a court appearance in a wheelchair on sex-assault charges against him. A jury sentenced him to more than a year in prison. While he was locked up, Wallace released the 1994 song "Who Shot Ya?"

Shakur saw the record as a taunt, though Wallace claimed the song was written months before the shooting and not directed toward him. Shakur, who was born in East Harlem, New York, came to represent the West Coast since signing with Los Angeles-based Death Row Records after his prison stint.

Wallace and Combs hail from Brooklyn and Harlem, and are represented by New York City-based Bad Boy Records. Malcolm Greenidge, a rapper known as E.D.I. Mean and Shakur's lifelong friend, described the deep rift between labels as "rap beef."

Reggie Wright Jr., a former security chief at Death Row Records, said the rift escalated when label co-founder Marion "Suge" Knight made a public statement disrespecting Combs at the 1995 Source Awards held in New York.

Later that year, Tha Dogg Pound and Snoop Dogg released the single "New York, New York," angering native New Yorkers who felt disrespected by the West Coast artists filming in their city. The music video showed the rappers kicking over a New York skyscraper.

The following year, Shakur released the aggressive single "Hit 'Em Up," which took aim at Wallace and bragged about sleeping with his wife, the singer Faith Evans.

"It's still one of the top three most diss songs talked about in the hip-hop community as far as rap labels and disrespect to another label and their family members" goes, Wright said.

The hostility continued backstage at the 1996 Soul Train Awards in Los Angeles because Wallace was chosen over Shakur to open the show, Wright said.

Los Angeles factions

Robert Ladd, a former police homicide detective and expert on gangs in Compton, testified that Davis was a shot caller of the Burris Street Crew, a South Side Crips faction, whose drug-dealing empire operated at "the highest level there is."

"He used to sell drugs on the street when he was a young kid, and I watched him grow up to be one of the biggest narcotics dealers in Compton," he told the grand jury.

Ladd also testified that after the shooting, his boss told him: "They're saying it's South Side Crips so get ready, it's coming back to Compton."

Leading up to the 1996 Las Vegas shooting, Davis' nephew, Orlando Anderson, and several other members of the South Side Crips beat up one of Knight's bodyguards. The attack was an effort at stealing the guard's Death Row Records necklace gifted from Knight at a mall in Lakewood, roughly 6 miles (10 kilometers) from downtown Compton, Ladd testified.

"It was very prestigious to these gang members to wear this," Ladd told the grand jury, "and they wore it like a badge of honor."

The violence that soon erupted between the South Side Crips and the Mob Piru, the local Bloods gang, in Compton was so devastating that Ladd called it the "Ten Day War."

"It blew up," Denvonta Lee, a former associate of Davis, said of the rivalry. He told the grand jury: "It was definitely a war."

1996 shooting in Las Vegas

On Sept. 7, 1996, Shakur, his associates, and their rivals watched Mike Tyson knock out Bruce Seldon in a championship fight at the MGM Grand casino. Shakur learned that Anderson was involved in a robbery attempt targeting his record label. With his entourage, the rapper darted toward Anderson and threw a punch in retaliation, which ignited the brawl.

After the casino fight, Shakur and Knight started to make their way to a nearby night club in a black BMW. They led a convoy of about 10 cars that included friends, body guards and Death Row artists on the glitzy Las Vegas Strip, a brightly lit area bustling with casinos, store fronts and tourists.

Authorities have said a white Cadillac with four men inside pulled alongside the BMW on a quieter street off the Strip. One person from the Cadillac opened fire, riddling the passenger side of Knight's car with bullets, police said. Sitting in the passenger seat, Shakur was shot multiple times, at least twice in the chest. Knight was grazed by a bullet fragment or shrapnel.

Greenidge, who described the rapper as a professional mentor, told the grand jury he was in the convoy. He said he ran to Shakur's side after the shooting and police told him to lie on the asphalt. He recalled Shakur telling him: "Get on the ground, they're going to shoot you."

Police found the BMW with blood spilled on the seats and nearly 10 bullet strikes on the right side of the car, according to testimony from Daniel Ford, a retired Las Vegas police officer who responded to the shooting. Ford said police tried but couldn't find evidence of fingerprints on the seven cartridge cases found at the scene.

Duane "Keffe D" Davis' role

Davis, now 60, was one of three men in the Cadillac when Shakur and Knight were targeted in the drive-by shooting. Authorities accuse him of giving orders from the front passenger seat and providing the gun used in the killing.

Lee, who testified that he was part of Davis' circle, said he wasn't in Las Vegas at the time of the shooting because he was in jail for the mall attack. But he recalled for the jury a conversation he had days later with his roommate at the time in South Los Angeles, Deandrae Smith, who was in the back seat of the Cadillac.

According to Smith's version of events, Lee said, Davis handed his nephew the gun, but Anderson didn't have a clear shot. So Smith, who was sitting next to Anderson, took the weapon, opened fire and let Anderson take credit for the shooting, Lee said.

"Keffe is the one who's going to make all the arrangements and all the plans until that gun goes into somebody else's hand," Lee said.

Lee described himself and the three men in the Cadillac with Davis that night as Davis' foot soldiers.

"If Keffe D told you to do something, would you do it?" a prosecutor asked.

"At that time, yes," Lee responded.

Tupac's death rocked Biggie

Shakur, one of hip-hop's most prolific figures and a rising actor, fought for his life after the shooting. He was taken to the hospital, where he died six days later.

Tinsley, who authored Wallace's 2022 biography, said one of the rapper's longtime friends told him Shakur's death hit Wallace in a "very visceral and deep way."

"Biggie cried," Tinsley said. "He was like, 'I always thought we were going to have a chance to reconnect.'"

"He felt like if Tupac could be touched, if Tupac could die ... he was scared," Tinsley said.

Six months later, on March 9, 1997, Wallace was also killed in a drive-by shooting - while leaving a music industry party in an upscale area of central Los Angeles.

On Tuesday 11 September 2001 suicide attackers seized US passenger jets and crashed them into two New York skyscrapers, killing thousands of people.

The attack remains one of the most traumatic events of the century, not only for Americans but also for the world.

What were the targets?

Four planes flying over the eastern US were seized simultaneously by small teams of hijackers.

They were then used as giant, guided missiles to crash into landmark buildings in New York and Washington.

Two planes struck the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York.

The first hit the North Tower at 08:46 Eastern Time (12:46 GMT). The second crashed into the South Tower at 09:03.

The buildings were set on fire, trapping people on the upper floors, and wreathing the city in smoke. In less than two hours, both 110-storey towers collapsed in massive clouds of dust.

At 09:37 the third plane destroyed the western face of the Pentagon - the giant headquarters of the US military just outside the nation's capital, Washington DC.

The fourth plane crashed in a field in Pennsylvania at 10:03 after passengers fought back. It is thought the hijackers had meant to attack the Capitol Building in Washington DC.

How many people died?

In all, 2,977 people (not counting the 19 hijackers) lost their lives, most of them in New York.

All 246 passengers and crew aboard the four planes were killed

At the Twin Towers, 2,606 people died - then or later of injuries

At the Pentagon, 125 people were killed

The youngest victim was two-year-old Christine Lee Hanson, who died on one of the planes with her parents Peter and Sue.

The oldest was 82-year-old Robert Norton, who was on another plane with his wife Jacqueline, en route to a wedding.

When the first plane struck, an estimated 17,400 people were in the towers. Nobody survived above the impact zone in the North Tower, but 18 managed to escape from the floors above the impact zone in the South Tower.

Citizens of 77 different countries were among the casualties. New York City lost 441 first responders.

Thousands of people were injured or later developed illnesses connected to the attacks, including firefighters who had worked in toxic debris.

Who were the attackers?

An Islamist extremist network called al-Qaeda planned the attacks from Afghanistan.

Led by Osama Bin Laden, al-Qaeda blamed the US and its allies for conflicts in the Muslim world.

Nineteen people carried out the hijackings, working in three teams of five and one of four (on the plane which crashed in Pennsylvania).

Each group included someone who had received pilot training. This was carried out at flying schools in the US itself.

Fifteen hijackers were Saudis like Bin Laden himself. Two were from the United Arab Emirates, one was from Egypt and one was from Lebanon.

How did the US respond?

Less than a month after the attacks, President George W Bush led an invasion of Afghanistan - supported by an international coalition - to eradicate al-Qaeda and hunt down Bin Laden.

However, it was not until 2011 that US troops finally located and killed Bin Laden in neighbouring Pakistan.

The alleged planner of the 9/11 attacks, Khalid Sheikh Mohammad, was arrested in Pakistan in 2003. He has been held in US custody at Guantanamo Bay since then, and is still awaiting trial.

Al-Qaeda still exists. It is strongest in Sub-Saharan Africa but even now has members inside Afghanistan.

US troops left Afghanistan this year after nearly 20 years, stoking fears from many that the Islamist network could make a comeback.

The legacy of 9/11

Flight safety was tightened around the world in the years following 9/11.

In the US, the Transportation Security Administration was created to beef up security at airports and on planes.

It took more than eight months to clean up "Ground Zero" - the site of the fallen Twin Towers.

A memorial and a museum now stands on the site, and buildings have risen up again, to a different design.

The completed centrepiece - One World Trade Center, or "Freedom Tower" - stands even higher (1,776ft (541m) than the original North Tower, which was 1,368ft.

Reconstruction at the Pentagon took just under a year, with staff back in their offices by August 2002.

I think judges in Indonesia should get paid more money. They make Rp 12 million a month, but that hasn’t changed in 12 years. With prices going up, it’s nott enough to take care of their families. Judges have important jobs, and if they can’t pay for school or homes, it can lead to problems like corruption. It’s great that the new president wants to help them. Paying judges better is important for fairness.

Vice President Kamala Harris has officially challenged former President Donald Trump to a debate in North Carolina, a key battleground state for the upcoming 2024 presidential elections. Speaking at a rally in Charlotte, Harris stressed the importance of discussing pressing issues like healthcare, education, and climate change, stating that voters deserve to hear real solutions from both sides.

In response, Trump took to social media, labeling Harris as "unqualified" and vowing to highlight his record in office. Political analysts view North Carolina as pivotal, given its diverse electorate and critical role in past elections.

As both candidates ramp up their campaigns, this proposed debate could significantly influence voter perceptions and shape the race ahead of the primaries. With the political landscape heating up, all eyes are on North Carolina to see how this challenge unfolds.

Singer, actor, and businessman Sean "Diddy" Combs is from the United States. Singer and model Casandra Ventura, better known by her stage name "Cassie," sued Combs, her ex-partner, on November 16, 2023. According to Cassie, she met Combs, who was 37 at the time, in 2005 when she was 19. Cassie claims that in addition to raping her, Combs also kicked, stomped, punched, and beat her. She further claims that he made her engage in sex trafficking and made her carry his gun in her handbag. Combs refuted all of the accusations, although he expressed regret for his actions in the CCTV film that showed him attacking Cassie in a hotel hallway after it was aired by CNN. According to Cassie, a few months after they started dating, Combs told her he wanted to engage in a fantasy of his called "voyeurism", and that it would turn him on to see her "with another man's private part". She says Combs hired a man and instructed Cassie to engage in sexual acts with him while he watched and masturbated. The lawsuit states that Combs referred to the arrangement as a "Freak Off" or "FO". Combs and singer Aaron Hall were sued in November 2023 by an unidentified woman who claimed that they had raped and assaulted her in the early 1990s. Another anonymous woman sued in December, alleging that Combs and two other men sexually assaulted her at the age of 17 in a recording studio in New York City. Thalia Graves filed a lawsuit on September 25th, claiming that Combs and his security chief had sexually assaulted her in a New York recording studio in 2001 and had recorded the incident. In March 2024, US authorities raided Combs' properties in Los Angeles and Miami as a part of an ongoing sex-trafficking investigation by federal authorities in New York. Firearms and ammunition were seized at Combs' property during the raids. This included three "defaced" AR-15 machine guns and a "large-capacity drum magazine". Evidence of the "freak offs" were also seized, including "electronic devices that contain images and videos of the freak offs with multiple victims" and more than 1,000 bottles of baby oil. Combs was arrested in New York, on September 16. Combs has been charged with racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion and transportation to engage with prostitution, according to his unsealed indictment. Combs is currently incarcerated at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York City. On May 5, Combs will go on trial for federal sex trafficking and racketeering allegations. A minimum term of 15 years in jail would be given on Combs if found guilty of the sex-trafficking allegations. He might be sentenced to life in prison for the racketeering conspiracy charge.

On October 5th 2018, a bidding war started at Sotheby’s at London for the ‘Girl with Balloon.’ painting, as the prices kept rising and rising, it soon reached £1.4 million, shortly after the gavel hit one final time for £1.4 million, the painting suddenly shredded itself or ‘self-destructed’ in front of everyone, shocking and making everyone in awe. Sooner or later, Banksy sent a quote by Picasso “The urge to destroy, is also a creative urge.”

https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2021/10/15/shredded-banksy-painting/

On Thursday, 3 years after the destructive act, the buyer of ‘Girl with Balloon.’ put it up for auction again- now retitled as ‘Love Is in the Bin.’ Nine bidders battled for the painting in 10 minutes, the shredded art was sold for £25.4 million. That’s about over three times more than the original price the price the auction house sold it for and 18 times more than the spray-paint-on-canvas creation sold for in 2018 when it was intact.

Never got caught.... 😀😀😀

# data[].attributes.body
My opinion on what happened is that, the quote from Picasso is extremely true, as destroying things can make a masterpiece at times. So, destroying the painting/having a device to destroy it inside the frame was a good choice as it increased its price more than ten-fold. I like seeing paintings that have their own little mechanics and thingamajigs to destroy the artwork as it shows what destruction can do to make things beautiful.

In my opinion, The terrorists did this big accident for a stupid reason. Just let them be. They did something to you at 1990 it was more than a decade ago. The after math of the 9/11 accident was crucial. A lot of people -children- died on that day a LOT of people lost their family.

In my opinion Kanye West very rude and disrespectful, but some references says that Kanye west was just trying to save Taylor Swift from Beyonce since there are rumors Beyonce has been murdering people who she considers as a competition to her. But in my opinion its probably not true but we don't know yet. I still think its not reasonable to let a 19 year olds dreams down, Taylor Swift even thought that the crowd was booing her, so my conclusion is that I think its rude and a very stupid act to just ruin someone's special moment.

Kim Kardashian is a tv star and entrepreneur, she was born in October 21, 1980, Los Angeles, California. She has an interesting history, including a TV show, and divorces, but let’s keep things simple:

As said before, Kim was born in the 80s, specifically in October 21, she was one of the four Kardashian children, with her being the second oldest, having an Elder sister named Kourtney Kardashian, Khloe and Robert being their younger siblings. She graduated in 1998, and became an assistant to socialite Paris Hilton.
She was featured in a tape in 2007 with her former boyfriend, Kim then formed a lawsuit against the distributor of the video, which managed to get her the support she needs to have her own Tv show called Keeping up with the Kardashians, where we see her and her family’s daily lives. The show was a success, with each of her family members being seen as famous people. Kim had been featured in a film and other tv shows, with the Keeping up with the Kardashians show ending in 2020, eventually, 2 years later (2022) a new series would be made, simply titled: “The Kardashians”, with the new show airing on Hulu.
 Notably, back in 2012, Kim dated rapper; Kanye west, and got married in 2014. They would have children; North (Nori) West (Daugther), and their son; Saint West. They would then have two younger children; the youngest daughter: Chicago West (born in 2018) and their youngest son Psalm West (born in 2019). This family seems to fall apart slightly, as it was said in 2021, Kim and Kanye were divorcing, the reason for this is due to Kim wanting her kids’ sanity to be stable since Kanye was said to struggle with his mental health.

My opinion: Kim’s history was quite big, it’s interesting to know her history from a average person to a Celebrity. Her decision to divorce with Kanye seems like alot, even for her children, but I’m still in middle school, so I wouldn’t know how it feels to be in her position, but I can tell it may be tough. Overall, she’s an admiring person, with a notable history, I hope her life can remain stable as it should, with no downgrades or issues.

Kim Kardashian (born October 21, 1980, Los Angeles, California, U.S.) American television personality and entrepreneur who garnered international fame for her personal life, much of which was chronicled on the popular reality series Keeping Up with the Kardashians (2007-21).

Kim was the second of four children; Kourtney was her elder sister, and Khloé and Robert were younger siblings. Her father, Robert Kardashian, gained national recognition as a member of O.J. Simpson's legal team during his 1995 murder trial, and her mother, Kris, later served as her manager; after the couple divorced in 1989, Kris married (1991-2014) Olympic gold medalist Bruce (later Caitlyn) Jenner, and they had two children, Kendall and Kylie. In 1998 Kim graduated from high school and subsequently became an assistant to socialite Paris Hilton. During that time she married (2000) music producer Damon Thomas; the couple divorced in 2004. Two years later Kim, along with Kourtney and Khloé, opened DASH, a boutique in Calabasas, California; several other locations were later added.

In early 2007 a sex tape featuring Kim and her then boyfriend R&B singer Ray J was leaked online; she sued the video's distributor and later received an out-of-court settlement. The attention helped the Kardashian family land a reality TV series, Keeping Up with the Kardashians, which followed their daily lives, including Bruce Jenner's later transition into a woman. The show premiered on the E! channel in October 2007 and was a ratings success. All the family members attained varying levels of celebrity, with Kim-who was known for her good looks and curvaceous figure-becoming a pop culture phenomenon. Although some derided her popularity, alleging that she was simply famous for being famous, her canny self-promotion-which also included a strong social media presence-helped create a hugely profitable brand. In addition to endorsement deals, Kardashian was involved in numerous business ventures, including a series of fitness DVDs, a credit card, various beauty products, and a game app that allowed users to create a celebrity. In 2019 she launched the shapewear company Skims. Her immense popularity also led to film roles-she made her big-screen debut in Disaster Movie (2008)-and other TV appearances. She notably starred in the spin-off series Kourtney and Kim Take New York (2011-12). In 2020 Kim and other members of the family signed a production deal with the streaming service Hulu, and the following year Keeping Up with the Kardashians ended. In 2022 the reality series The Kardashians began airing on Hulu.

In the late 2010s Kardashian became involved in prison reform, and, through her efforts, various incarcerated individuals were released. Notably, in 2018 she helped secure a presidential commutation for Alice Marie Johnson, a nonviolent drug offender who was serving a life sentence. In 2020 the TV documentary Kim Kardashian West: The Justice Project aired.

Kardashian was a fixture in the tabloids, and much attention was devoted to her relationships. In 2011 she married basketball player Kris Humphries-the ceremony was videotaped and later broadcast on E!-but 72 days later she filed for divorce, which was finalized in 2013. In 2012 Kardashian began dating rapper Kanye West, and their daughter, North ("Nori") West, was born the following year. In May 2014 Kardashian and West were married. The pair had a second child, son Saint West, in 2015. Their daughter Chicago West and son Psalm West were born in 2018 and 2019, respectively, via a surrogate. In 2021 it was announced that Kim and Kanye were divorcing; their divorce was finalized the following year.

Orenthal James Simpson famously known as O.J. Simpson was a famous American footballer, then O.J. became an actor and sports commentator. On June 12, 1994, he was in court on charges that his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman were murdered outside her home in Los Angeles and became a prime suspect. O.J. became a prime suspect because after O.J. was notified of the impending charges on June 17, he was involved in a low-speed police pursuit as he hid in the back of a Car driven by his friend. The attempted “escape” was televised live nationally and was seen by an estimated 95 million viewers. One of the prosecution’s pieces of evidence was a bloody glove allegedly found at O.J's home. The defense argued that the glove seemed too small for O.J.’s hand, leading Cochran to say, “If the glove don’t fit, you must acquit.” O.J later collaborated on 'If I Did It', in which he hypothesized about how he would have committed the murders. On October 3, 1995, O.J. Simpson was found not guilty of the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
O.J. Simpson (born July 9, 1947, San Francisco, California, U.S.) American collegiate and professional gridiron football player who was a premier running back known for his speed and elusiveness. His trial on murder charges in 1995 was one of the most celebrated criminal trials in American history.

Simpson played football at Galileo High School in San Francisco, first as a tackle and then as a fullback. He attended San Francisco City College (1965-66) to achieve a scholastic record that allowed him to play at the University of Southern California (USC), where he set team records for yards gained by rushing: 1967, 1,415 yards; 1968, 1,709 yards. He was named All-American (1967-68), played in two Rose Bowl games, and won the Heisman Trophy as the best collegiate player of the season (1968). At USC he was also a member of a world-record-setting 440-yard relay team.

Simpson, who was often called "Juice" because of his energetic runs and because his initials could stand for "orange juice," was the number one draft choice of the American Football League (AFL) Buffalo Bills in 1969. The following year the AFL merged with the National Football League (NFL). The Bills were members of the American Football Conference (AFC) of the NFL when Simpson set a single-season record for yards gained rushing (2,003) in 1973. The Bills were never a contending team during his stay, but he was a great box-office draw. Injuries to his knees prompted the Bills to trade him in 1978 to the San Francisco 49ers, but he retired after the 1979 season. His 1975 record of most touchdowns scored in a season (23) stood until 1983, and his 1973 season rushing record for most yards gained lasted until 1984, when it was broken by Eric Dickerson. Simpson led the AFC in rushing yardage four times (1972-73, 1975-76). His career total yards gained (11,236) was second in the all-time rankings at the time of his retirement. He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1985.

After retiring from football, Simpson became a film and television actor and sports commentator. On June 12, 1994, his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman were stabbed to death outside her home in Los Angeles. Simpson was arrested and charged with the two murders on June 17; he pleaded not guilty and hired a team of prominent lawyers to handle his defense. His lengthy nationally televised trial became the focus of unprecedented media scrutiny. A jury acquitted Simpson of the murder charges on October 3, 1995. In a separate civil trial decision in 1997, he was found liable for the deaths of his ex-wife and Goldman and was ordered to pay $33.5 million in damages to the families. Simpson later collaborated (with Pablo F. Fenjves) on If I Did It, in which he hypothesized about how he would have committed the murders. Public outrage prevented its initial publication in 2006, but a bankruptcy court subsequently awarded the book's rights to the Goldman family, who released the work in 2007.

Later that year, Simpson was arrested after he and several other men entered a Las Vegas hotel room and took memorabilia items that Simpson claimed had been stolen from him. The incident resulted in Simpson being charged with a number of crimes, including armed robbery and kidnapping. On October 3, 2008, a jury found him guilty of all charges. He was later sentenced to a minimum of nine years in prison, with a possible maximum sentence of 33 years. Simpson was granted parole in 2017.

Charles Augustus Lindbergh, Jr. The first child of Charles & Anne Lindbergh, was kidnapped from his home. The baby was only 20-month old when he was kidnapped from his crib in a second-floor bedroom, while both Charles, Anne, and several staff were elsewhere in the house. This kidnapping happened on March 1, 1932. The kidnapper left a ransom note, a broken ladder propped against the outside wall, and other clues were discovered. The note was demanding $50,000. About an hour later, The Lindbergh’s notified the local authorities, who in turn gave control of the investigation to the New Jersey State Police. Throughout the investigation, The Lindbergh’s paid $50,000 to a man claiming to have information about the baby, but when the Lindbergh’s went to where the baby was said to be held, it turned out to be a hoax. Ten weeks after the kidnapping, on May 12 1932, the body of the baby was found partially buried in the woods near the Lindbergh’s home. Charles Lindbergh identified that the body that was buried was his son, who had apparently died the night he was taken.

With no suspects and no leads, the case went cold. Not until two years later, where the police suspected Bruno Richard Hauptmann, a German immigrant who had charges of extortion and murder in first degree. Hauptmann’s trial began in January 1935. Both Charles & Anne Lindbergh took the stand as witnesses. Later on, the jury found Hauptmann guilty of murder in first degree, and he was sentenced to death by electrocution. On April 3, 1936, Bruno Richard Hauptmann was executed at the state prison in Trenton, New Jersey.

The September 11, 2001, attacks, commonly known as 9/11, were a series of coordinated terrorist attacks carried out by the extremist group al-Qaeda against the United States. On that day, 19 militants hijacked four commercial airplanes.

Two planes, American Airlines Flight 11 and United Airlines Flight 175, were flown into the North and South Towers of the World Trade Center in New York City, causing both towers to collapse. A third plane, American Airlines Flight 77, crashed into the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia. The fourth plane, United Airlines Flight 93, was headed for a target in Washington, D.C., but passengers attempted to retake control from the hijackers, resulting in the plane crashing into a field in Pennsylvania.

The attacks resulted in the deaths of nearly 3,000 people and significant injuries to thousands more. The aftermath led to widespread changes in U.S. and global security policies, the initiation of the War on Terror, and military operations in Afghanistan to dismantle al-Qaeda and remove the Taliban from power. The events of 9/11 profoundly impacted U.S. domestic and foreign policy, shaping a new era of international relations and security concerns.

The plot

The September 11 attacks were precipitated in large part because Osama bin Laden, the leader of the militant Islamic organization al-Qaeda, held naive beliefs about the United States in the run-up to the attacks. Abu Walid al-Masri, an Egyptian who was a bin Laden associate in Afghanistan in the 1980s and '90s, explained that, in the years prior to the attacks, bin Laden became increasingly convinced that America was weak. "He believed that the United States was much weaker than some of those around him thought," Masri remembered, and "as evidence he referred to what happened to the United States in Beirut when the bombing of the Marines base led them to flee from Lebanon," referring to the destruction of the marine barracks there in 1983 ( see 1983 Beirut barracks bombings), which killed 241 American servicemen. Bin Laden believed that the United States was a "paper tiger," a belief shaped not just by America's departure from Lebanon following the marine barracks bombing but also by the withdrawal of American forces from Somalia in 1993, following the deaths of 18 U.S. servicemen in Mogadishu, and the American pullout from Vietnam in the 1970s.

The key operational planner of the September 11 attacks was Khalid Sheikh Mohammed (often referred to simply as "KSM" in the later 9/11 Commission Report and in the media), who had spent his youth in Kuwait. Khalid Sheikh Mohammed became active in the Muslim Brotherhood, which he joined at age 16, and then went to the United States to attend college, receiving a degree from North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University in 1986. Afterward he traveled to Pakistan and then Afghanistan to wage jihad against the Soviet Union, which had launched an invasion against Afghanistan in 1979.

According to Yosri Fouda, a journalist at the Arabic-language cable television channel Al Jazeera who interviewed him in 2002, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed planned to blow up some dozen American planes in Asia during the mid-1990s, a plot (known as " Bojinka ") that failed, "but the dream of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed never faded. And I think by putting his hand in the hands of bin Laden, he realized that now he stood a chance of bringing about his long awaited dream."

In 1996 Khalid Sheikh Mohammed met bin Laden in Tora Bora, Afghanistan. The 9-11 Commission (formally the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States), set up in 2002 by U.S. Pres. George W. Bush and the U.S. Congress to investigate the attacks of 2001, explained that it was then that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed "presented a proposal for an operation that would involve training pilots who would crash planes into buildings in the United States." Khalid Sheikh Mohammed dreamed up the tactical innovation of using hijacked planes to attack the United States, al-Qaeda provided the personnel, money, and logistical support to execute the operation, and bin Laden wove the attacks on New York and Washington into a larger strategic framework of attacking the "far enemy"-the United States-in order to bring about regime change across the Middle East.

The September 11 plot demonstrated that al-Qaeda was an organization of global reach. The plot played out across the globe with planning meetings in Malaysia, operatives taking flight lessons in the United States, coordination by plot leaders based in Hamburg, Germany, money transfers from Dubai, and recruitment of suicide operatives from countries around the Middle East-all activities that were ultimately overseen by al-Qaeda's leaders in Afghanistan.

Key parts of the September 11 plot took shape in Hamburg. Four of the key pilots and planners in the "Hamburg cell" who would take operational control of the September 11 attacks, including the lead hijacker Mohammed Atta, had a chance meeting on a train in Germany in 1999 with an Islamist militant who struck up a conversation with them about fighting jihad in the Russian republic of Chechnya. The militant put the Hamburg cell in touch with an al-Qaeda operative living in Germany who explained that it was difficult to get to Chechnya at that time, because many travelers were being detained in Georgia. He recommended they go to Afghanistan instead.

Although Afghanistan was critical to the rise of al-Qaeda, it was the experience that some of the plotters acquired in the West that made them simultaneously more zealous and better equipped to carry out the attacks. Three of the four plotters who would pilot the hijacked planes on September 11 and one of the key planners, Ramzi Binalshibh, became more radical while living in Hamburg. Some combination of perceived or real discrimination, alienation, and homesickness seems to have turned them all in a more militant direction. Increasingly cutting themselves off from the outside world, they gradually radicalized each other, and eventually the friends decided to wage battle in bin Laden's global jihad, setting off for Afghanistan in 1999 in search of al-Qaeda.

Atta and the other members of the Hamburg group arrived in Afghanistan in 1999 right at the moment that the September 11 plot was beginning to take shape. Bin Laden and his military commander Muhammad Atef realized that Atta and his fellow Western-educated jihadists were far better suited to lead the attacks on Washington and New York than the men they had already recruited, leading bin Laden to appoint Atta to head the operation.

The hijackers, most of whom were from Saudi Arabia, established themselves in the United States, many well in advance of the attacks. They traveled in small groups, and some of them received commercial flight training.

Throughout his stay in the United States, Atta kept Binalshibh updated on the plot's progress via e-mail. To cloak his activities, Atta wrote the messages as if he were writing to his girlfriend "Jenny," using innocuous code to inform Binalshibh that they were almost complete in their training and readiness for the attacks. Atta wrote in one message, "The first semester commences in three weeks...Nineteen certificates for private education and four exams." The referenced 19 "certificates" were code that identified the 19 al-Qaeda hijackers, while the four "exams" identified the targets of the attacks.

In the early morning of August 29, 2001, Atta called Binalshibh and said he had a riddle that he was trying to solve: "Two sticks, a dash and a cake with a stick down-what is it?" After considering the question, Binalshibh realized that Atta was telling him that the attacks would occur in two weeks-the two sticks being the number 11 and the cake with a stick down a 9. Putting it together, it meant that the attacks would occur on 11-9, or 11 September (in most countries the day precedes the month in numeric dates, but in the United States the month precedes the day; hence, it was 9-11 in the United States). On September 5 Binalshibh left Germany for Pakistan. Once there he sent a messenger to Afghanistan to inform bin Laden about both the day of the attack and its scope.

"The Taylor Swift-Kanye West VMAs scandal"

In 2009, Taylor Swift won the Best female video award for her song "You Belong With Me" at the VMAs1. During her acceptance speech, Kanye West interrupted her, taking the microphone and proclaiming that Beyoncé's video for "Single Ladies" was one of the best of all time and should have won instead. This incident shocked the audience and viewers at home, and it sparked a long-standing feud between Taylor Swift and Kanye West.

The event became a significant moment in pop culture history, highlighting issues of respect, recognition, and the impact of celebrity feuds. It also led to discussions about the treatment of female artists in the music industry. MTV has removed the official footage of what ensued from the internet, so most of the videos available online are low-quality bootlegs that people made by aiming cameras at their living room TV screens. According to Billboard’s oral history of the incident, Kanye returned to his seat during the commercial break, and Pink came up to him and chewed him out while the rest of the audience glared at him. MTV ushered him out of the building shortly afterward. Kanye was reportedly shocked that he was asked to leave, and he was seen later that evening at the sceney gastropub Spotted Pig in New York City’s West Village.

Backstage, both Taylor and Beyoncé were crying, and producers rushed to try to comfort them. It was a time-sensitive problem, because Taylor was scheduled to perform during the next segment of the ceremony. And while the first half of her number, which sees her singing “You Belong With Me” on a New York City subway car, was prerecorded, the second half — in which she runs out of the subway to perform the final verse on the roof of a taxi — was meant to be live.

Relatives of Lyle and Erik Menendez on Wednesday called for their release from prison after more than 30 years as the Los Angeles County district attorney weighs new evidence in the murder of their parents.

# data[].attributes.body
Mendez brothers (Erik & Lyle Mendez)

Erik: 53 y/o, Lyle: 56 y/o

Conflict: Convicted of killing their parents in 1989 and were found guilty in 1996. They were sentenced to prison for life without parole for shooting Jose and Kitty Mendez (their parents) in their home at Beverly hills. Although they never denied killing their parents, they argued that they said that it was out of self defense and sexual & physical abuse from their father. There was evidence in the form of letters and witnesses from their family which led to a petition, saying that they were victims. The family members testified against their parents and supported the brothers, some saying “they were victims but Instead of being seen as victims, they were vilified,” “the desperate response of two boys trying to survive the unspeakable cruelty of their father,” “They were lively children becoming sadder and sadder throughout years,” “They were just children. Children who could have been protected but instead brutalized in the most horrific ways,” etc.

Opinion: I think that if there was evidence, they were falsely accused. Especially if event their family members testified with them, they were wrongfully accused. I think they should be released as they wouldn’t be a threat if not abused.

Biggie left Vibe Magazine party in a GMC Suburban SUV that stopped at a red light at Wilshire Boulevard and South Fairfax Road. While stopped a Chevrolet Impala stopped beside him and his entourage. Some witnesses said a black male dressed in a blue suit and bow tie opened his window and shot Biggie four times and he passed away at 1:15 a.m. at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. After many years of investigating and conspiracy theories about who killed Biggie and why did they do it, no one has been brought to justice to answer for Biggie’s death. A Former Detective Russell Poole fought very hard, even sometimes turning against his own nobleman, to get to the end of Biggie’s death. But then Russel died due to a heart attack that happened on August 19, 2015, while discussing the Tupac Shakur and Biggie cases while at the L.A County Sheriff’s Department. My opinion about this case is, the case is very unfair an there was not enough justice for Biggie's death

About a month ago, Newjeans, a k-pop group, spoke up about their mistreatment in the company. They posted a video in Youtube speaking up about their situation. They talked about how they were ignored and disrespected by the employees of the company. One of their members, Hanni – who is currently 20 years old, was called to testify in front of the South Korean lawmakers about her claims on workplace bullying. Hanni claimed that she had greeted one of the members of another group, but a manager had instructed them to ignore her. This had happened many times before. When she reported the incident, her claims were ignored and brushed off. Hanni also claimed that she had seen the employees bad-mouthing or talking bad about her on Blind – an app for communication purposes. Their company CEO believed Hanni’s claims but stated that she was unable to find supporting evidence.

I believe that some action should be taken, even though there is no supporting evidence. The CEO should pay more attention to the behaviours of the manager towards the members. Just because the manager has a higher position does not mean they can disrespect and mistreat the members.

In my opinion he shouldn't be treated that badly because he is also only 21 years old. so he is just an ordinary naughty teenager but Korean netizens are gripping Seunghan very evilly. In my opinion he is just crossing the line in the part where there are rumors that he forced his girlfriend to have an abortion but that has not been confirmed either and just a rumor. Korean netizens even sent flowers for the dead to SM Entertainment because of Seunghan's case. In my opinion, he doesn't deserve to be treated like that. He's still very young and maybe at the age of 21 he could have severe depression and other mental problems. He doesn't deserve that. maybe there are a lot of people like Seunghan out there but Seunghan gets to judge because he is a kpop idol and part of a kpop group called Riize.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
John Wayne Gacy was convicted of the torture, rape, and murder of 33 males between 1972 until his arrest in 1978. He was dubbed the "Killer Clown" because he entertained children at parties and hospitals as "Pogo the Clown." On May 10, 1994, Gacy was executed by lethal injection.

Gacy's Childhood Years

John Gacy was born on March 17, 1942, in Chicago, Illinois. He was the second of three children and the only son born to John Stanley Gacy and Marion Robinson.

From age 4, Gacy was verbally and physically abused by his alcoholic father. Despite the abuse, Gacy admired his father and constantly sought his approval. In return, his father would hurl insults at him, telling him he was stupid and acted like a girl.

When Gacy was 7 years old, he was molested repeatedly by a friend of the family. He never told his parents about it, fearing that his father would find him at fault and that he would be severely punished.

Gacy's Teen Years

When Gacy was in elementary school, he was diagnosed with a congenital heart condition which limited his physical activity. As a result, he became overweight and endured teasing from his classmates.

At age 11, Gacy was hospitalized for several months at a time after experiencing unexplained blackouts. His father decided Gacy was faking the blackouts because the doctors were unable to diagnose why it was happening.

After five years of being in and out of the hospital, it was discovered that he had a blood clot in his brain, which was treated. But Gacy's delicate health issues failed to protect him from his father's drunken wrath. He received regular beatings, for no particular reason other than his father disdained him. After years of abuse, Gacy taught himself not to cry. This was the only thing he consciously ever did that he knew would provoke his father's anger.

Gacy found it too difficult to catch up with what he had missed in school while hospitalized, so he decided to drop out. His being a high school dropout solidified his father's constant accusations that Gacy was stupid.

Las Vegas or Bust

At the age of 18, Gacy was still living with his parents. He became involved with the Democratic Party and worked as an assistant precinct captain. It was during this time that he began to develop his gift for gab. He enjoyed the positive attention he received in what he felt was a prestigious position. But his father quickly squelched whatever good came out of his political involvement. He belittled Gacy's association with the Party: he called him a Party patsy.

Gacy's years of abuse from his father finally wore him down. After several episodes of his father having refused to let Gacy use his own car, he had enough. He packed his belongings and escaped to Las Vegas, Nevada.

A Frightening Awakening

In Las Vegas, Gacy worked for an ambulance service for a short time but was then transferred to a mortuary where he was employed as an attendant. He often spent nights alone at the mortuary, where he would sleep on a cot near the embalming room.

On the last night that Gacy worked there, he got into a coffin and fondled the corpse of a teenage boy. Afterward, he was so confused and shocked by the realization that he had been sexually aroused by a male corpse, that he called his mother the following day and without providing details, asked if he could return home. His father agreed and Gacy, who had only been gone for 90 days, quit his job at the mortuary and drove back to Chicago.

Burying the Past

Back in Chicago, Gacy forced himself to bury the experience at the mortuary and move forward. Despite not having completed high school, he was accepted at Northwestern Business College, where he graduated in 1963. He then took a management trainee position with the Nunn-Bush Shoe Company and was quickly transferred to Springfield, Illinois, where he was promoted to a management position.

Marlynn Meyers was employed at the same store and worked in Gacy's department. The two began dating and nine months later they married.

Community Spirit

During his first year in Springfield, Gacy had become very involved with the local Jaycees, dedicating much of his spare time to the organization. He became adept at self-promotion, utilizing his salesmanship training to gain positive attention. He rose through the Jaycee ranks and in April 1964 he was awarded the title of Key Man.

Fundraising was Gacy's niche and by 1965 he was appointed the vice-president of the Jaycee's Springfield division and later that same year he was recognized as being the "third most outstanding" Jaycee in the state of Illinois. For the first time in his life, Gacy felt confident and full of self-esteem. He was married, a good future before him, and had persuaded people he was a leader. The one thing that threatened his success was his growing need to be sexually involved with young male teens.

Marriage and Fried Chicken

After dating in Springfield, Illinois, Gacy and Marlynn married in September 1964 and then moved to Waterloo, Iowa where Gacy managed three Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurants owned by Marilyn's father. The newlyweds moved into Marlynn's parent's home, rent-free.

Gacy soon joined the Waterloo Jaycees, and once again quickly moved up the ranks. In 1967, he received recognition as "Outstanding Vice-President" of the Waterloo Jaycees and earned a seat on the Board of Directors. But, unlike in Springfield, the Waterloo Jaycees had a dark side that involved illegal drug use, wife swapping, prostitutes, and pornography. Gacy slid right into the position of managing and regularly participating in these activities. Gacy also began to act on his desires to have sex with male teenagers, many of whom worked at the fried chicken restaurants he managed.

He turned a basement room into a hangout as a way to attract teens. He would entice the boys with free alcohol and pornography. Gacy would then take sexual advantage of some of the boys after they became too intoxicated to put up any resistance.

While Gacy was molesting teens in his basement and doing drugs with his Jaycee pals, Marlyn was busy having children. Their first child was a boy, born in 1967, and the second child was a girl, born a year later. Gacy later described this time of his life as being nearly perfect. It was also the only time he finally gained any approval from his father.

The Colonel

A common trait shared by many serial killers is their belief that they are smarter than everyone and that they will never get caught. Gacy fit that profile. With his above-average earnings and his social connections through the Jaycees, Gacy's ego and confidence level grew. He became pushy and commanding and would often brag about accomplishments, most of which were transparent lies.

The Jaycee members who were not into hookers and porn began putting a distance between themselves and Gacy, or "Colonel," as he insisted on being called. But in March 1968 Gacy's near-perfect world quickly fell apart.

First Arrest

In August 1967 Gacy had hired 15-year-old Donald Voorhees to do odd jobs around his house. Donald met Gacy through his father, who was also in the Jaycees. After finishing his work, Gacy lured the teen to his basement with the promise of free beer and porn movies. After Gacy supplied him with an abundance of alcohol, he forced him into having oral sex.

This experience seemed to unplug any fears Gacy had about getting caught. Over the next several months, he sexually abused several teenage boys. He convinced some of them that a scientific research program that he was involved in was looking for participants and they would be paid $50 for each session. He also used blackmail as a way to force them into sexual submission.

But in March 1968 it all came crashing down on Gacy. Voorhees told his father about the incident with Gacy in his basement, who immediately reported it to the police. Another 16-year-old victim also reported Gacy to the police. Gacy was arrested and charged with oral sodomy of the 15-year-old and attempted assault of the other boy, charges he strongly denied.

As his defense, Gacy said that the accusations were a lie by Voorhee's father who was trying to sabotage his efforts to become president of the Iowa Jaycees. Some of his Jaycee friends believed it was possible. However, despite his protests, Gacy was indicted on the sodomy charges.

In an effort to intimidate Voorhees and keep him from testifying, Gacy paid an employee, 18-year-old Russell Schroeder, $300 to beat up the teenager and warn him against showing up in court. Voorhees went straight to the police who arrested Schroeder. He promptly admitted his guilt and Gacy's involvement to the police. Gacy was charged with conspiracy-assault. By the time it was over, Gacy pled guilty to sodomy and received a 10-year sentence.

On December 27, 1969, Gacy's father died of cirrhosis of the liver. The news hit Gacy hard, but despite his obvious poor emotional state, the prison officials denied his request to attend his father's funeral.

Gacy did everything right in prison. He earned his high school degree and took his position as head cook seriously. His good behavior paid off. In October 1971, after completing just two years of his sentence, he was released and placed on probation for 12 months.

Marlyn filed for divorce while Gacy was in prison. He was so angered by the divorce that he told her that she and the two children were dead to him, vowing never to see them again. Marlyn, no doubt, hoped that he would stick to his word.

Back in Action

With nothing to return to in Waterloo, Gacy moved back to Chicago to begin rebuilding his life. He moved in with his mother and got a job working as a cook, and then worked for a construction contractor.

Gacy later bought a home 30 miles outside of Chicago, in Des Plaines, Illinois. Gacy and his mother lived in the house, which was part of the terms of Gacy's probation.

In early February 1971, Gacy lured a teenage boy to his home and tried to rape him, but the boy escaped and went to the police. Gacy was charged with sexual assault, but the charges were dismissed when the teen did not show up in court. Word of his arrest never got back to his parole officer.

On Jan. 2, 1972, Timothy Jack McCoy, age 16, was planning on sleeping at the bus terminal in Chicago. His next bus wasn't scheduled until the following day, but when Gacy approached him and offered to give him a tour of the city, plus let him sleep at his house, McCoy took him up on it.

According to Gacy's account, he awoke the following morning and saw McCoy standing with a knife at his bedroom door. Gacy thought the teen intended on killing him, so he charged the boy and got control of the knife. Gacy then stabbed the teen to death. Afterward, he realized that he had mistaken McCoy's intentions. The teen had a knife because he was preparing breakfast and had gone to Gacy's room to wake him up.

Although Gacy had not planned to kill McCoy when he brought him home, he couldn't dismiss the fact that he had become sexually aroused to the point of orgasm during the kill. In fact, the killing was the most intense sexual pleasure he had ever felt.

Timothy Jack McCoy was the first of many to be buried in the crawl space under Gacy's home.

Second Marriage

On July 1, 1972, Gacy married a high school sweetheart, Carole Hoff. She and her two daughters from a previous marriage moved into Gacy's home. Carole was aware of why Gacy had spent time in prison, but he had downplayed the charges and convinced her that he had changed his ways.

Within weeks of being married, Gacy was arrested and charged with sexual assault after a teen male accused him of impersonating a police officer to get him into his car, then forcing him to engage in oral sex. Again the charges were dropped; this time because the victim had tried to blackmail Gacy.

In the meantime, as Gacy added more bodies in the crawlspace under his house, a horrible stench began to fill the air, both inside and outside of Gacy's home. It got to be so bad that neighbors began to insist that Gacy find a solution to get rid of the odor.

You're Hired

In 1974 Gacy left his construction job and started a contracting business called Painting, Decorating, and Maintenance, or PDM Contractors, Inc. Gacy told friends that one way he planned to keep his costs down was by hiring teenage boys. But Gacy saw it as another way to find teens to lure to his basement of horrors.

He began posting available jobs and then invited the applicants to his house on the pretext of talking to them about a job. Once the boys were inside his home, he would overpower them using various tricks, render them unconscious and then begin his gruesome and sadistic torture that almost always led to their death.

The Do-Gooder

While he wasn't killing young men, Gacy spent time reestablishing himself as a good neighbor and good community leader. He worked tirelessly on community projects, had several neighborhood parties, developed close friendships with his next-door neighbors, and became a familiar face, dressed as Pogo the Clown, at birthday parties and at the children's hospital.

People liked John Wayne Gacy. By day, he was a successful business owner and community do-gooder, but by night, unknown to anyone but his victims, he was a sadistic killer on the loose.

Second Divorce

In October 1975 Carole filed for divorce after Gacy admitted to her that he was attracted to young men. She wasn't surprised by the news. Months before, on Mother's Day, he had informed her that they would not be having any more sex together. She was also bothered by all of the gay porn magazines lying around and she could no longer ignore all the teenage males coming in and out of the house.

Having Carole out of his hair, Gacy focused on what really mattered to him most; keeping his do-gooder facade in the community so that he could continue to achieve sexual gratification by raping and killing young boys.

From 1976 to 1978, Gacy had managed to hide the bodies of 29 of his victims under his house, but because of lack of space and the odor, he dumped the bodies of his last four victims into the Des Moines River.

Robert Piest

On December 11, 1978, in Des Moines, 15-year-old Robert Piest went missing after leaving his job at a pharmacy. He told his mother and a co-worker that he was going to an interview with a construction contractor about a summer position. The contractor had been in the pharmacy earlier in the evening discussing a future remodel with the owner.

When Piest failed to return home, his parents contacted the police. The pharmacy owner told investigators that the contractor was John Gacy, owner of PDM Contractors.

When Gacy was contacted by the police, he admitted being in the pharmacy on the night the boy disappeared but denied ever speaking to the teenager. This contradicted what one of Piest's fellow employees had told the investigators.

According to the employee, Piest was upset because he had been turned down earlier in the evening when he asked for a raise. But when his shift ended, he was excited because the contractor that was remodeling the pharmacy agreed to meet with him that night to discuss a summer job.

Gacy's denying that he had even spoken to the boy raised a lot of suspicions. Investigators ran a background check that revealed Gacy's past criminal record, including his conviction and prison time for sodomizing a minor. This information put Gacy on the top of the list of possible suspects.

On December 13, 1978, a warrant to search Gacy's Summerdale Avenue home was granted. While investigators searched his home and cars, he was at the police station giving an oral and written statement about his activities at the pharmacy on the night Piest disappeared. When he learned that his house had been searched, he went into a fit of anger.

The evidence collected at Gacy's house included a high school ring for the class of 1975 with initials J.A.S., handcuffs, drugs and drug paraphernalia, two driver's licenses that were not issued to Gacy, child pornography, police badges, guns and ammunition, a switchblade, a piece of stained carpet, hair samples from Gacy's automobiles, store receipts, and several items of teen-styled clothing in sizes that would not fit Gacy.

Investigators also went down into the crawl space, but did not discover anything and left quickly due to the rancid odor that they attributed to being a sewage problem. Although the search solidified suspicions that Gacy was likely an active pedophile, it did not turn up any evidence linking him to Piest. However, he was still their prime suspect.

Under Surveillance

Two surveillance teams were assigned to watch Gacy 24 hours a day. The investigators continued their search for Piest and continued interviewing his friends and co-worker. They also began interviewing people who had contact with Gacy.

What investigators learned was that Robert Piest was a good, family-oriented kid. John Gacy, on the other hand, had the makings of a monster. They also learned that Piest was not the first, but the fourth person who had disappeared after having contact with Gacy.

Meanwhile, Gacy seemed to be enjoying a game of cat and mouse with the surveillance team. More than once he was able to sneak away from his house undetected. He also invited the team into his home and served them breakfast, and then he would joke about spending the rest of the day getting rid of dead bodies.

The Big Break

Eight days into the investigation the lead detective went to the Piest's home to bring his parents up to date. During the conversation, Mrs. Piest mentioned a conversation that she had with one of the employees working on the night her son went missing. The employee had told her that she had borrowed her son's jacket when she went on her break and left a receipt in the jacket pocket. This was the same jacket that her son had on when he left to go talk to the contractor about a job and never returned.

That same receipt was found in the evidence collected during the search of Gacy's house. Further forensic tests were performed on the receipt that proved that Gacy had been lying and that Piest had been in his home.

Gacy Buckles

Those closest to Gacy were interviewed by detectives on multiple occasions. Afterward, Gacy demanded that they tell him everything that was said. This included the in-depth questioning of his employees regarding the crawl space under Gacy's home. Some of these employees admitted that Gacy had paid them to go down into specific areas of the crawl space to dig trenches.

Gacy realized it was just a matter of time before the extent of his crimes would be exposed. He began to buckle under the pressure, and his behavior turned bizarre. On the morning of his arrest, Gacy was observed driving to the homes of his friends to tell them goodbye. He was seen taking pills and drinking mid-morning. He also talked about committing suicide and confessed to a few people that he had killed thirty people.

What finally led to his arrest was a drug deal that Gacy orchestrated in full view of the surveillance team. They pulled Gacy over and placed him under arrest.

Second Search Warrant

While in police custody, Gacy was informed that a second search warrant of his home had been issued. The news brought on chest pains, and Gacy was taken to the hospital. In the meantime, the search of his house, particularly the crawlspace, had begun. But the extent of what would be uncovered shocked even the most seasoned investigators.

The Confession

Gacy was released from the hospital later that night and taken back into custody. Knowing that his game was up, he confessed to murdering Robert Piest. He also confessed to thirty-two additional murders, starting in 1974, and hinted that the total could be as high as 45.

During the confession, Gacy explained how he had restrained his victims by pretending to do a magic trick, which required that they put on handcuffs. He then stuffed socks or underwear into their mouths and used a board with chains, which he would place under their chest, then wrapped the chains around their neck. He would then choke them to death while raping them.

Through dental and radiology records, 25 of the 33 bodies found were identified. In an effort to identify the remaining unknown victims, DNA testing was performed from 2011 to 2016.

Gacy went on trial on February 6, 1980, for the murder of thirty-three young men. His defense lawyers tried to prove that Gacy was insane, but the jury of five women and seven men did not agree. After only two hours of deliberation, the jury returned a verdict of guilty and Gacy was given the death penalty.

While on death row, Gacy continued to taunt authorities with different versions of his story about the murders in an attempt to stay alive. But once his appeals were exhausted, the execution date was set.

John Gacy was executed by lethal injection on May 9, 1994. His last words were, "Kiss my ass."

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
TAMPA - A judge has declined to reduce Cameron Herrin's 24-year prison sentence for causing a 2018 crash that killed a mother and daughter on Bayshore Boulevard.

In an order released this week, Hillsborough Circuit Judge Christopher Nash rejected a request from Herrin's defense lawyer, which focused on comments ousted State Attorney Andrew Warren made after the sentence was imposed.

Of particular focus was a voicemail Warren left attorney John Fitzgibbons a day after the April 2021 sentencing hearing, in which the prosecutor said he was "surprised" and "disappointed" by the sentence and called it "excessively harsh."

Fitzgibbons said the judge should hear more about Warren's views in a new hearing. The State Attorney's Office, which is now led by Susan Lopez, fought to preserve the sentence, arguing that Warren's comments were irrelevant.

Nash, in a five-page order, accepted as true Fitzgibbons' account of Warren's phone call, noting that Warren "criticized the very sentence his office had requested just one day earlier." But the judge ultimately denied the bid for a lesser sentence.

An appeals court previously upheld Herrin's sentence, which came after he pleaded guilty to vehicular homicide charges in the deaths of Jessica Reisinger-Raubenolt, 24, and her 21-month-old daughter, Lillia.

With his legal options exhausted, the 23-year-old is set to remain in prison until he is in his early 40s.

Fitzgibbons expressed disappointment Thursday. He reiterated that Warren told him the sentence was "crazy" and "terrible."

"But Warren didn't have the moral fiber to tell the court what he really thought when he and his office asked for this very heavy sentence," Fitzgibbons said. "And it's pure hypocrisy, in my opinion."

Warren, who is in the midst of a lawsuit challenging his Aug. 4 suspension by Gov. Ron DeSantis, issued a statement echoing his previous public comments about the case.

"It's no secret that I was surprised by the judge's sentence because he went above the statutory guidelines," the statement read. "But, at the end of the day, my job as state attorney was to hold the defendants accountable, to fight for the victims' family, and to deliver the justice that Jessica and Lillia deserved, and that's exactly what we did."

The crash occurred May 23, 2018, along the iconic boulevard, recognizable for its 4-mile sidewalk and balustrade hugging Hillsborough Bay on one side, and million-dollar homes and high-rises on the other.

Reisinger-Raubenolt was pushing her daughter in a stroller along the waterfront side when she moved to cross the roadway.

Herrin, then 18, was driving north on Bayshore in a Ford Mustang GT, which he'd received as a high school graduation present. John Barrineau, a 17-year-old friend, was driving near him in a Nissan Altima. Witnesses said the pair appeared to be racing.

The Mustang struck the mother and daughter as they entered the road. Police later pegged the car's speed at 102 mph a few seconds before the collision.

Barrineau in late 2020 pleaded guilty to vehicular homicide for his role in the crash. In an agreement with prosecutors, he received a six-year sentence.

Herrin also pleaded guilty, but his plea came with no guarantee about sentencing. State guidelines suggested a minimum of 18.5 years; Fitzgibbons asked the judge to impose a term less than that.

In a daylong sentencing hearing, which featured emotional testimony from the families, prosecutor Aaron Hubbard asked for a sentence between 18 and 30 years. The judge decided on 24 years. Warren attended the hearing.

In his bid for a new sentence, Fitzgibbon wrote that Warren later told him the 24-year term was too high and that a sentence in the range of 10-12 years would have been acceptable. Fitzgibbons also described a series of attempts he made to negotiate a deal with the state before Herrin's guilty plea, including offers to cap the sentence at 10 years, 15 years and 18 years, which the state rejected.

In a statement Thursday, Warren said Fitzgibbons' account didn't make sense. He claimed that he was "misrepresenting or misremembering" their conversation.

"It doesn't change the fact that two lives were tragically lost, two more lives were forever ruined, and we did our duty to hold the defendants accountable and deliver justice for Jessica and Lillia," the statement read.

Fitzgibbons responded that he took notes of their discussion.

"Warren has done everything he can not to participate in a hearing where I can question him under oath about these statements," Fitzgibbons said. "So what is he afraid of?"

On August 20 1989, Jose and Mary Louise were shot to death in their Beverly Hills home. Their sons Lyle and Erik Mendez were found guilty for their parents death. Lyle and Erik were sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. The Mendez brothers case became one of the most popular cases in the 20th century due to family drama, Hollywood connections, dramatic testimony, and cable TV’s ability to blanket the airwaves with coverage. The Menendez family seemed to be a perfect model of the American Dream, at least by 1980s standards. José was born in Cuba, emigrated to the United States as a teenager after the Cuban Revolution of the 1950s, and lived in the attic of a cousin's house until he earned a collage scholarship from swimming. he met Mary Louise Anderson, a beauty pageant queen who everyone called Kitty and was a couple years old than him. They married in the early 1960s and moved to New York City, where José earned an accounting degree from Queens College. He then rose from washing dishes to working a successful young entertainment executive. José spent the early ’80s as the head of RCA Records and had a hand in the signing of bands such as Duran Duran, The Eurythmics, and Menudo. With their sons Lyle and Erik, the Menendez family moved from Princeton, New Jersey, to Los Angeles just a few years before the murders so that José could take a job in the movie business. The house where Jose and kitty was located in one of the most exclusive blocks in Beverly hills. Lyle was a star tennis player and seemed destined for a career in business like the father he openly worshipped. Erik turned out to be even better at tennis, helped along by his father’s obsessive intervention, and wound up as a nationally ranked player in his age bracket. José was known as a hard-driving father who would work his children to the bone in athletics and everything else. Lyle and Erik Mendez claimed they shot their parents because they thought they were going to kill them so they would not reveal that their father had molested them

my opinion for this news is that I think it’s shocking how quickly Orlando was able to kill and hurt so many people. It’s hard to understand how someone could feel no guilt at all. This shows we need better mental health support and raises important questions about why people commit such violence. The impact on the victims and the community is deep, highlighting the urgent need for change.

The 2016 Orlando shooting occurred on June 12, when gunman Omar Mateen opened fire inside the Pulse nightclub, an LGBTQ+ venue, killing 49 people and injuring over 50 others. This tragic incident became one of the deadliest mass shootings in U.S. history. Mateen pledged allegiance to ISIS during the attack, leading to concerns about terrorism. Law enforcement engaged in a standoff with him, ultimately killing him in a police operation. The shooting sparked nationwide grief and outrage, prompting discussions about gun control, LGBTQ+ rights, and national security. Vigils and memorials were held in honor of the victims, highlighting the vulnerabilities faced by the LGBTQ+ community. In the aftermath, there were renewed calls for greater protections for marginalized groups and debates surrounding gun legislation. The event left a lasting impact on American society, underlining the urgent need for change and awareness regarding hate crimes and violence.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Orlando shooting of 2016, also called Pulse nightclub shooting, mass shooting that took place at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida, in the early morning hours of June 12, 2016, and left 49 people dead and more than 50 wounded. It was the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history up to that time.

The shooter

The gunman, 29-year-old Omar Mateen, was a U.S. citizen born in Queens, New York, to Afghan parents. In May 2013 the Federal Bureau of Investigation declared Mateen to be "a person of interest" and launched a preliminary investigation of him after he told coworkers at a security firm that he had ties to al-Qaeda and Hezbollah. The 10-month investigation ended with no charges being filed against Mateen, but the FBI questioned him in 2014 after an associate of his became a suicide bomber for the Nusrah Front, a terrorist organization in Syria. Mateen later told a friend that he had been watching jihadist videos recorded by al-Qaeda propagandist Anwar al-Awlaki, and that friend notified the authorities. Like the first investigation, the second yielded no actionable evidence, and it was closed.

Mateen had held a Florida firearms license since 2007, when he began working as a security guard. Although his name had appeared in the FBI's Terrorist Screening Database (the so-called "terrorist watch list") while he was the subject of active investigations, it was removed once they were closed. In any event, his presence on that list would not have precluded him from legally purchasing firearms, and on June 4, 2016, Mateen bought a Sig Sauer MCX semiautomatic assault rifle. The following day he purchased a Glock 17 9mm semiautomatic pistol. Both weapons were used in the attack.

The shooting

Since its opening in 2004, Orlando's Pulse dance club had established itself as one of central Florida's most vibrant centres for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) social life. On the night of the attack, the club was hosting its popular Latin Night, an event that drew from a broad cross section of the community. Just after 2:00 am on June 12, 2016, more than 300 people were inside the club when Mateen opened fire near the entrance. Almost immediately, Adam Gruler, an off-duty Orlando police officer who had been working as a security guard at Pulse, engaged in a gun battle with Mateen before withdrawing in the face of superior firepower. Gruler requested assistance, and, within minutes, additional police and emergency personnel arrived on the scene and began carrying victims to a hastily erected triage centre across the street. A group of police officers, several of whom had Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) training, entered the club through a broken window and exchanged fire with Mateen. At this point, roughly 10 minutes had passed since the beginning of the shooting rampage, and while many patrons had been able to escape, dozens were either dead, wounded, or trapped inside the club.

Over the next 20 minutes, a harrowing portrait of the events inside Pulse was relayed to emergency services operators, police dispatchers, and social media outlets. Callers reported hearing additional gunshots as Mateen moved through the club, and survivors took to Twitter and Facebook to recount their experiences. At 2:35 am Mateen placed a call to 911, at which point he professed his "allegiance to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi of the Islamic State." Police reported that they had hemmed in Mateen in the bathroom area, and the posture of the law-enforcement response shifted from an active shooter engagement to a hostage situation. Over the next hour, Mateen spoke with negotiators three times, staying on the phone for a total of 28 minutes, while many gravely wounded victims remained inaccessible to rescue personnel. During these calls, Mateen claimed that he had placed a bomb in one of the cars parked outside and stated that he was wearing an explosive vest similar to those used by the November 2015 Paris attackers. Mateen also searched the Internet for news coverage of the attack from his phone and exchanged text messages with his wife.

At 4:21 am police officers and trapped patrons succeeded in removing an air-conditioning unit from the exterior wall of one of the club's dressing rooms, enabling a handful of survivors to flee to safety. Those who escaped told police that Mateen was planning to place bomb vests on four hostages within the next 15 minutes, and SWAT and hazardous device teams prepared to breach the wall of the building with explosives. At 5:02 am the Orlando police triggered the first of several controlled detonations before smashing through the wall of the club with an armoured vehicle. Hostages poured out of the building, and Mateen was killed after engaging almost a dozen police officers in a gun battle. After the standoff had concluded, investigators learned that Mateen's claim about bomb vests was a bluff, as no explosive devices were found inside the club.

The 25 year-old Arsenal team captain Martin Odegaard sustains ankle ligament injury, doctors say that he will be out for 3 at least 3 weeks. On Monday, 9 September he sustained this injury while playing for Norway. He limped off the field after their win against Austria. He got this injury from a foul by Christoph Baumgautner in the middle of the second half. He left to go back to London for an MRI scan on his ankle. Although it’s not a fracture, it is still quite fatal. Mikel Arteta says that the scans showed damage around the ligaments of the ankle. Norway’s team doctor says that such ankle injuries are quite serious and usually take 3 weeks to heal, and anything after that is just a bonus and it can take longer. If he is out for 3 weeks he will miss 5 games. The whole team is hoping on a fast recovery.

The man once heralded as the architect of Mexico's war on drug cartels was sentenced to more than 38 years in a U.S. prison on Wednesday for taking massive bribes to aid drug traffickers.

Genaro García Luna, Mexico's former secretary of public security, was convicted by a New York jury in 2023 of taking millions of dollars in bribes to protect the violent Sinaloa cartel that he was supposedly combating.

Garcia Luna led Mexico's federal police before he served in a cabinet-level position as the country's top security official from 2006 to 2012 under then-President Felipe Calderón. At the time, García Luna was hailed as an ally by the U.S. in its fight on drug trafficking.

But prosecutors say that in return for millions of dollars, he provided intelligence about investigations against the cartel, information about rival cartels and the safe passage of massive quantities of drugs.

According to the U.S. Justice Department, former cartel members testified that bribe money was handed off to Garcia Luna in a variety of locations, including at a "safe house" where cash was hidden in a false wall, at a car wash and at a French restaurant across the street from the U.S. Embassy.

Garcia Lina was paid in U.S. cash, "stuffed variously in suitcases, briefcases and duffel bags," prosecutors said.

Federal prosecutors in Brooklyn had asked a judge to order that Genaro García Luna be incarcerated for life, while his lawyers argued that he should spend no more than 20 years behind bars.

García Luna, 56, was convicted early last year of taking millions of dollars in bribes to protect the violent Sinaloa cartel that he was supposedly combating. He denied the allegations.

Prosecutors wrote that García Luna's actions advanced a drug trafficking conspiracy that resulted in the deaths of thousands of American and Mexican citizens.

"It is difficult to overstate the magnitude of the defendant's crimes, the deaths and addiction he facilitated and his betrayal of the people of Mexico and the United States," prosecutors wrote. "His crimes demand justice."

García Luna headed Mexico's federal police before he served in a cabinet-level position as the country's top security official from 2006 to 2012 during the administration of former Mexican President Felipe Calderón.

García Luna was not only considered the architect of Calderón's bloody war on cartels, but was also hailed as an ally by the U.S. in its fight on drug trafficking. During the trial, photos were shown of García Luna shaking hands with former President Barack Obama and speaking with former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and former Sen. John McCain.

But prosecutors say that in return for millions of dollars, García Luna provided intelligence about investigations against the cartel, information about rival cartels and the safe passage of massive quantities of drugs.

Prosecutors said he ensured drug traffickers were notified in advance of raids and sabotaged legitimate police operations aimed at apprehending cartel leaders.

Drug traffickers were able to ship over 1 million kilograms of cocaine through Mexico and into the United States using planes, trains, trucks and submarines while García Luna held his posts, prosecutors said.

During former Sinaloa kingpin Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman's trial in the same court in 2018, a former cartel member testified that he personally delivered at least $6 million in payoffs to García Luna, and that cartel members agreed to pool up to $50 million to pay for his protection. "El Chapo" is serving a life sentence in a maximum security prison in Colorado after being convicted in 2019 on charges including drug trafficking, money laundering and weapons-related offenses.

Prosecutors also said that García Luna plotted to undo last year's trial verdict by seeking to bribe or corruptly convince multiple inmates at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn to support false allegations that two government witnesses communicated via contraband cellular phones in advance of the trial.

In their appeal for leniency, García Luna's lawyers wrote to a judge that García Luna and his family have suffered public attacks throughout the nearly five years he has been imprisoned.

"He has lost everything he worked for - his reputation, all of his assets, the institutions that he championed, even the independence of the Mexican judiciary - and he has been powerless to control any of it," they wrote.

"Just in the past five years he has lost two siblings, learned of the disability of another due to COVID-19 complications and the imposition of an arrest warrant against her, and learned that his youngest sister was jailed because of her relationship to him," they added.

In Mexico, President Claudia Sheinbaum briefly commented on the case on Tuesday, saying: "The big issue here is how someone who was awarded by United States agencies, who ex-President Calderón said wonderful things about his security secretary, today is prisoner in the United States because it's shown that he was tied to drug trafficking."

U.S. attorney Breon Peace said in a statement that the sentencing was "a critical step in upholding justice and the rule of law."

"His betrayal of the public trust and the people he was sworn to protect resulted in more than one million kilograms of lethal narcotics imported into our communities and unleashed untold violence here and in Mexico," Peace said.

Garcia Luna's sentence comes less than three months after the dramatic arrest on U.S. soil of Sinaloa Cartel co-founder Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada, who claimed he had been kidnapped in Mexico and delivered into U.S. custody against his will. Zambada pleaded not guilty last month in New York in a drug trafficking case that accuses him of engaging in murder plots and ordering torture.

Zambada, 76, was detained along with Joaquin Guzman Lopez, a son of El Chapo.

The 2016 Orlando shooting occurred on June 12, when gunman Omar Mateen opened fire inside the Pulse nightclub, an LGBTQ+ venue, killing 49 people and injuring over 50 others. This tragic incident became one of the deadliest mass shootings in U.S. history. Mateen pledged allegiance to ISIS during the attack, leading to concerns about terrorism. Law enforcement engaged in a standoff with him, ultimately killing him in a police operation. The shooting sparked nationwide grief and outrage, prompting discussions about gun control, LGBTQ+ rights, and national security. Vigils and memorials were held in honor of the victims, highlighting the vulnerabilities faced by the LGBTQ+ community. In the aftermath, there were renewed calls for greater protections for marginalized groups and debates surrounding gun legislation. The event left a lasting impact on American society, underlining the urgent need for change and awareness regarding hate crimes and violence.https://www.britannica.com/event/Orlando-shooting-of-2016

Orlando shooting of 2016, also called Pulse nightclub shooting, mass shooting that took place at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida, in the early morning hours of June 12, 2016, and left 49 people dead and more than 50 wounded. It was the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history up to that time.

The shooter

The gunman, 29-year-old Omar Mateen, was a U.S. citizen born in Queens, New York, to Afghan parents. In May 2013 the Federal Bureau of Investigation declared Mateen to be "a person of interest" and launched a preliminary investigation of him after he told coworkers at a security firm that he had ties to al-Qaeda and Hezbollah. The 10-month investigation ended with no charges being filed against Mateen, but the FBI questioned him in 2014 after an associate of his became a suicide bomber for the Nusrah Front, a terrorist organization in Syria. Mateen later told a friend that he had been watching jihadist videos recorded by al-Qaeda propagandist Anwar al-Awlaki, and that friend notified the authorities. Like the first investigation, the second yielded no actionable evidence, and it was closed.

Mateen had held a Florida firearms license since 2007, when he began working as a security guard. Although his name had appeared in the FBI's Terrorist Screening Database (the so-called "terrorist watch list") while he was the subject of active investigations, it was removed once they were closed. In any event, his presence on that list would not have precluded him from legally purchasing firearms, and on June 4, 2016, Mateen bought a Sig Sauer MCX semiautomatic assault rifle. The following day he purchased a Glock 17 9mm semiautomatic pistol. Both weapons were used in the attack.

The shooting

Since its opening in 2004, Orlando's Pulse dance club had established itself as one of central Florida's most vibrant centres for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) social life. On the night of the attack, the club was hosting its popular Latin Night, an event that drew from a broad cross section of the community. Just after 2:00 am on June 12, 2016, more than 300 people were inside the club when Mateen opened fire near the entrance. Almost immediately, Adam Gruler, an off-duty Orlando police officer who had been working as a security guard at Pulse, engaged in a gun battle with Mateen before withdrawing in the face of superior firepower. Gruler requested assistance, and, within minutes, additional police and emergency personnel arrived on the scene and began carrying victims to a hastily erected triage centre across the street. A group of police officers, several of whom had Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) training, entered the club through a broken window and exchanged fire with Mateen. At this point, roughly 10 minutes had passed since the beginning of the shooting rampage, and while many patrons had been able to escape, dozens were either dead, wounded, or trapped inside the club.

Over the next 20 minutes, a harrowing portrait of the events inside Pulse was relayed to emergency services operators, police dispatchers, and social media outlets. Callers reported hearing additional gunshots as Mateen moved through the club, and survivors took to Twitter and Facebook to recount their experiences. At 2:35 am Mateen placed a call to 911, at which point he professed his "allegiance to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi of the Islamic State." Police reported that they had hemmed in Mateen in the bathroom area, and the posture of the law-enforcement response shifted from an active shooter engagement to a hostage situation. Over the next hour, Mateen spoke with negotiators three times, staying on the phone for a total of 28 minutes, while many gravely wounded victims remained inaccessible to rescue personnel. During these calls, Mateen claimed that he had placed a bomb in one of the cars parked outside and stated that he was wearing an explosive vest similar to those used by the November 2015 Paris attackers. Mateen also searched the Internet for news coverage of the attack from his phone and exchanged text messages with his wife.

At 4:21 am police officers and trapped patrons succeeded in removing an air-conditioning unit from the exterior wall of one of the club's dressing rooms, enabling a handful of survivors to flee to safety. Those who escaped told police that Mateen was planning to place bomb vests on four hostages within the next 15 minutes, and SWAT and hazardous device teams prepared to breach the wall of the building with explosives. At 5:02 am the Orlando police triggered the first of several controlled detonations before smashing through the wall of the club with an armoured vehicle. Hostages poured out of the building, and Mateen was killed after engaging almost a dozen police officers in a gun battle. After the standoff had concluded, investigators learned that Mateen's claim about bomb vests was a bluff, as no explosive devices were found inside the club.

The fact that climate change is not a top priority for many voters shows that many people lack of concern for our planet. Many people don't understand the impacts of climate change.

In 2019, when Kamala Harris ran for president, she repeatedly warned oil companies to expect hefty fines and criminal prosecution under future Harris administration for their role contributing to climate change. But, now as the democratic nominee, Harris is highlighting the country’s record oil and gas production. She hardly talks about climate change, despite having been a strongly supporter of the Green New deal. Harris pledged to eliminate the filibuster to pass a Green New Deal, with stern deadlines for reducing fossil fuels use. She also enforced a climate test for future energy projects. However, since she joined Joe Biden's ticket as vice-presidential nominee. She changed her position on something she’d demarcate in 2019 CNN town hall. Campaigning in Philadelphia, Harris pointed to the Biden administration’s record on increasing domestic oil production. Currently, the US energy industry is producing more oil than any country in history. The Biden administration has implict regulatory fines on oil companies for environmental violations, Such actions included a $241.5 million settlement with Marathon Oil and a $40 million settlement with BP over air pollution violations. According to Gallup, climate change is not top priority for many voters, only 50% voters view climate change as very important to their vote.
