Possible would-be car burglar shot, killed by homeowner in Kingwood, deputies say

Quote:

According to investigators, a homeowner’s motion detection camera alerted him of some activity in his driveway. Deputies say the homeowner found a 23-year-old man he didn’t know sitting in his car. The homeowner had asked the intruder to leave right before fatally shooting him, deputies said.

“As the male homeowner approached the vehicle, (he) ordered the name subject out at gunpoint,” Specialist S. Squier with Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office said. “He became aggressive, uncooperative. The suspect made the statement, ‘I will not go back to prison.’”

Deputies said as the alteration continued, the homeowner fired two shots, striking the subject who went down and was later pronounced dead.

Since she's allowed to choose her own conservator (what a ridiculous, nineteenth-century idea!) I would say not quite, but it's certainly surely a step in the right direction, hopefully towards getting rid of it altogether?

Girl got a right to support whatever party she likes. The point is she should be free to express her own opinions, and not those of someone else.

An Unlikely Mammal Returns to the Mainland
Australia | The voracious, whirling Looney Tunes character might be the first Tasmanian devil that springs to mind, but the real-life creature is actually one of the world’s most vulnerable marsupials. Devastated by a facial-tumour disease that wiped out up to 90 per cent of the population in some areas of Tasmania, devils were declared an endangered species in 2008.

Now Tasmanian devils are thriving on the Australian mainland for the first time in 3,000 years, thanks to the efforts of conservation group Aussie Ark. Dozens of devils were introduced to a 400-hectare sanctuary in New South Wales last year, and this spring, the first generation of joeys were born.

Once widespread over the entire continent, prehistoric climate change, combined with hunting by people and dingoes, left Tasmania the only place where devils survived after 1,000 B.C. Aussie Ark hopes to create a self-sustaining population of devils that can help rebalance the ecosystem in the face of invasive species. —By Anna-Kaisa Walker

News Alert: WNBA star Brittney Griner released from Russian detention in prisoner swap for convicted arms dealer


WNBA star Brittney Griner has been released from Russian detention in a prisoner swap for convicted Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout, according to a source familiar with the matter.

Griner is now in the custody of American officials, a US official told CNN. President Joe Biden is expected to speak at 8:30 a.m. ET, the White House said, though it did not immediately specify the topic.

The swap did not include another American that the State Department has declared wrongfully detained, Paul Whelan.

I propose that we Americans trade Harry and Meghan for Paul Whelan's safe return and an additional compensatory draft pick. Russia can have them.

Nah, they live in Cali as far as I know. I was hoping Russia would take them and then squash any and all journalism and news reports about them.

If only. Dude is an American hero. Trump talked about draining the swamp but didn't have the balls to pardon Snowden or Assange even when he knew he was on his way out.

News Alert: Biden signs into law same-sex marriage bill, 10 years after his famous Sunday show answer on the issue


President Joe Biden signed into law Tuesday landmark new federal protections for same-sex and interracial couples, capping both a personal and national evolution on an issue that’s enjoyed growing acceptance over the past decade.

Biden signed the Respect for Marriage Act before thousands of invited guests on the South Lawn at an event the White House said reflected the importance of the moment.

The new law officially voids the Defense of Marriage Act, which defined marriage as between a man and a woman. It mandates that states honor the validity of out-of-state marriage licenses, including same-sex and interracial unions.

As a senator, Biden voted for the Defense of Marriage Act in 1996. The bill signing Tuesday amounted to the culmination of his transformation on the issue.
