B.C. teacher granted full parole after strangling pregnant wife
and burning her body in 2006
By Isaac Lamoureux -October 22, 2023
Authorities have given full parole to an ex-high school teacher from British Columbia who strangled his pregnant wife to death, killing their unborn child and subsequently burning her body.
After killing Manjit, who was four months pregnant, Panghali made a distressing and tearful public appeal seeking assistance in finding his then “missing” wife. The murder was executed while their young daughter was left unattended at home.
Panghali was initially arrested and charged with second-degree murder in 2007. He was convicted and sentenced to life in prison in 2011 with no possibility of parole for 15 years. He lost an appeal on his life sentence for second-degree murder in 2012. He was then eventually granted day parole in July 2022, after which he secured full-time employment with an undisclosed company, according to the Parole Board of Canada.
Angela Marie MacDougall, the executive director of Vancouver’s Battered Women’s Support Services, voiced her concerns about the parole decision.
“This tells us everything we need to know about how ineffective the criminal legal system is in meeting any kind of justice for victims of intimate partner and domestic violence,” she told Global News.
Even though the Parole Board found that Panghali had “accepted responsibility for (his) actions and choices.”
“You are assessed as a high risk of violence towards a partner,” stated the Parole Board’s release decision issued on October 6th.
“Should you involve yourself in a relationship, this would be the high-risk situation for you and must be monitored closely by your (case management team) through the relevant special condition to restrict you from initiating relationships with women without the permission of your parole supervisor.”
Several conditions have been imposed on Panghali’s parole, including abstaining from alcohol, participating in a domestic violence treatment plan, and reporting any relationships with women. He is also prohibited from contacting the victim’s family, including his own daughter, who is now being cared for by Manjit’s sister.
Judges in both Canada and Australia have fixed their attention on the rights of criminals and seem to completely disregard the rights of Canadians and Australians to live in relative peace and safety. Major changes are needed in the justice systems of both countries otherwise "Justice System" is just a joke, a bad joke.
Convicted terrorist Abdul Nacer Benbrika wins high-court bid
to restore his Australian citizenship
by Dominic Giannini, AAP, October 31, 2023:
The Australian citizenship of convicted terrorist Abdul Nacer Benbrika has been restored by the nation’s highest court.
Benbrika was arrested and convicted over plots to attack Melbourne landmarks in 2005, including the AFL grand final at the MCG.
The self-proclaimed Islamic cleric had also called on his followers to kill at least 1000 non-believers to force the Australian government to withdraw troops from Iraq and Afghanistan.
His 15-year sentence was due to end in 2020 but the government was successful in obtaining a continuing detention order, with a court ruling he posed an unacceptable risk to the community.
The order extended his detention until this month.
In addition to plots to blow up Melbourne landmarks he also plotted to target Sydney’s Lucas Heights nuclear reactor, and was discussing assassinating then-Prime Minister John Howard….

Canadian Convulsions > Trudeau and Blair pressured RCMP head to influence mass murder investigation; Supreme Court has mercy on mass murderers; Cdn Army working against Israel
..
RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki tried to ‘jeopardize’ mass murder
investigation to advance Trudeau’s gun control efforts
JUNE 21, 2022

RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki “made a promise” to Public Safety Minister Bill Blair and the Prime Minister’s Office to leverage the mass murders of April 18/19, 2020 to get a gun control law passed.
A week after the murders, Lucki pressured RCMP in Nova Scotia to release details of the weapons used by the killer. But RCMP commanders in Nova Scotia refused to release such details, saying doing so would threaten their investigation into the murders.
The Trudeau government’s gun control objectives were spelled out in an order in council issued in May 2020, and were encapsulated in Bill C-21, which was tabled last month, but the concern in April 2020 was the extent to which politics threatened to interfere with a cross-border police investigation into how the killer managed to obtain and smuggle into Canada four illegal guns used to commit many of the 22 murders.
The RCMP subsequently learned the killer paid a man named Neil Gallivan to purchase one assault-style rifle at a 2019 gun show in Houlton, Maine. The killer also obtained two illegal handguns from a close friend and collector named Sean Conlogue.
No charges have been laid against either Gallivan or Conlogue, and it’s still unclear why.
“Reduced to tears”
But the Mounties didn’t have that information on April 28, 2020 — just one week after the murders — when Nova Scotia Supt. Darren Campbell briefed journalists at a news conference.
Compared to earlier briefings given by Chief Supt. Chris Leather, the head of Criminal Operations, Campbell was much more forthcoming. He answered questions about the timeline for the murders, the possible motivation of the gunman, and the condition and role of intimate partner Lisa Banfield.
On the firearms question, Campbell told journalists he “couldn’t get into details… because the investigation is still active and ongoing,” except to confirm the gunman had several semi-automatic handguns and two semi-automatic rifles.
Shortly after the news conference Campbell, Asst. Commander Lee Bergerman, Leather, and Nova Scotia Communications director Lia Scanlan were summoned to a meeting. RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki and a deputy from Ottawa were on the conference call. Lucki was not happy.
Campbell’s handwritten notes made immediately following that meeting describe what happened:
The Commissioner was obviously upset. She did not raise her voice but her choice of words was indicative of her overall dissatisfaction with our work. The Commissioner accused us (me) of disrespecting her by not following her instructions. I was and remain confused over this. The Commissioner said she told Comms to tell us at H Division to include specific info about the firearms used by [the killer]….However, I said we couldn’t because to do so would jeopardize ongoing efforts to advance the U.S. side of the case as well as the Canadian components of the investigation. Those are facts and I stand by them.
Campbell noted that Lucki went on at length and said she was “sad and disappointed” that he had not provided these details to the media. Campbell continued:
The Commissioner said she had promised the Minister of Public Safety and the Prime Minister’s Office that the RCMP (we) would release this information. I tried to explain there was no intent to disrespect anyone however we could not release this information at this time. The Commissioner then said that we didn’t understand, that this was tied to pending gun control legislation that would make officers and the public safer. She was very upset and at one point Deputy Commissioner (Brian) Brennan tried to get things calmed down but that had little effect. Some in the room were reduced to tears and emotional over this belittling reprimand.
Keeping the death toll from the public
A document released by the Mass Casualty Commission (MCC) today — “Public Communications from RCMP and Government After Portapique” — indicates there were earlier sources of tension between National RCMP Headquarters in Ottawa and ‘H’ Division in Nova Scotia over how information concerning the victims would be controlled.
Lia Scanlan was the director of strategic communications for the RCMP in Nova Scotia. She told the commission the national RCMP HQ was aware a news conference was planned for 6pm on Sunday evening, April 19, 2020, and it was “explicitly stated that we were doing all the communications.”
During this first surreal briefing only hours after the gunman and been shot and killed by police, most of the focus was on the murder of RCMP Cst. Heidi Stevenson rather than the murders of multiple civilians. Only 10 minutes into the press conference, and in response to a reporter’s question, Chief Supt. Chris Leather shocked most Nova Scotians when he confirmed there were “in excess of 10 victims.”
Leather had been told one hour before the briefing there were at least 15 confirmed victims at 15 crime scenes, with the possibility of more. Many who watched the live briefing observed the RCMP officer appeared like a deer caught in headlights.
But Nova Scotia ‘H’ Division did not have control of the message.
Contravening the agreed protocol, throughout the early hours of Sunday evening, RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki agreed to a number of one-on-one interviews with reporters. At 7:36pm, CBC News quoted Lucki as stating there were 13 victims; at 7:40pm, CTV reported Lucki had said 14 victims; and at 7:56pm, the Canadian Press quoted Lucki as having confirmed 17 dead, including the gunman.
The public and the press corps were both confused and alarmed.
“So how does it happen that Commissioner Lucki….?”, MCC lawyer Krista Smith started to ask Communications director Lia Scanlan during an interview last February.
“I don’t know, ask National Headquarters,” retorted Scanlan.“The commissioner releases a body count that we (Communications) don’t even have. She went out and did that. It was all political pressure. That is 100% Minister Blair and the Prime Minister. And we have a Commissioner that does not push back.”
At 10:21 Sunday night, Lia Scanlan emailed Sharon Tessier, the senior communications manager at RCMP National Headquarter, and two colleagues asking them to speak to Lucki about releasing victim information:
Can I make a request that we stop changing the number of victims. Please allow us to lead the release of information. It looks fragmented and inconsistent. I spoke with the Commanding Officer tonight and we will be updating this tomorrow.
We knew at the time of the press event it was more than 10 (victims) but that is what we came to ground on for the event. That is our plan tomorrow, to update as our members continue their jobs and discover more crime scenes and bodies. The changes in number are causing our phones to ring off the hook…
For consideration, Lia
Despite the frustration of journalists and citizens trying to grasp the magnitude of what had happened in northern Nova Scotia, the reporting of the number of deceased would continue to change over the next couple of days.
At the second news briefing held Monday April 20 at 2pm, Leather said “I can confirm there are 19 victims but we expect there may be more.” Asked why, Leather suggested that because so many homes had burned to the ground, it might take longer to find and identify other victims.
That sounded reasonable. Unfortunately, it didn’t square with notes from the Major Crimes Investigation unit. The notes show Investigators had confirmed 22 victims as of 11pm the previous Sunday night. At the 2pm news conference Monday afternoon, RCMP in Nova Scotia said they could not release the names of the civilian victims until the Medical Examiner had completed forensic identifications. But by 5:25pm that same day, the MCC document shows all next-of-kin families of victims had been notified so there was no compelling reason not to release the names.
Ultimately, the RCMP didn’t release the names until after media outlets, including the Halifax Examiner, had independently reported them.
In Ottawa, Public Safety minister Bill Blair and Commissioner Lucki conducted their own media briefing on Monday at 2:30pm.
The senior Communications manager from RCMP HQ, Sharon Tessier, had called Nova Scotia Comms earlier in the day to say HQ supported releasing the names of all victims. During his briefing Blair announced that the killer’s victims included “a nurse, a teacher, corrections officers, a serving police officer, parents, neighbours, and friends.” Blair and Lucki talked about “18 lives” being lost, adding to the inconsistency and confusion over how large a tragedy had occurred.
On Tuesday April 21, RCMP in Nova Scotia posted information on its Facebook account that named the communities where the killer had taken lives and confirmed a total of 23 victims. Later in the day that number was adjusted to 22 and the revised post acknowledged the killer had been shot and killed by police.
4 convicted Alberta multiple murderers can now apply for parole earlier
Derek Saretzky, Edward Downey, Joshua Frank and Jason Klaus
can all now apply for parole after 25 years

parole ineligibility sentences reduced on Friday to 25 years. (RCMP, Court Exhibit, Derek Saretzky/Facebook)
An Alberta court has granted the appeals of four convicted multiple murderers, giving them all the chance to apply for parole after serving 25 years.
On Friday, in three separate cases, the Alberta Court of Appeal ruled that Derek Saretzky, Edward Downey, Joshua Frank and Jason Klaus will all have their sentences varied to make parole ineligibility periods run concurrently.
The court of appeal's decisions mean the four men can be eligible for parole at an earlier date — compared to the parole eligibility dates that were initially handed to them when they were sentenced.
The decisions follow a Supreme Court of Canada ruling in May that decided Alexandre Bissonnette, the gunman who killed six men at a Quebec City mosque in 2017, will be allowed to apply for parole after 25 years.
Canada's highest court found sentencing rules, that allowed judges' discretion to hand out consecutive parole ineligibility periods, unconstitutional.
The Supreme Court said those punishments "bring the administration of justice into disrepute" and are "cruel and unusual by nature."
What is more cruel and unusual than putting vicious murderers back on the streets?
Eligibility to apply for parole does not mean it will be granted, and a life sentence means an offender will be either in prison or on conditions for their entire lifespan.
Saretzky, a former resident of Blairmore, Alta., was convicted in 2017 for three counts of first-degree murder in the 2015 deaths of Terry Blanchette, his two-year-old daughter, Hailey Dunbar-Blanchette, and a neighbour, Hanne Meketech, 69.
Saretzky was originally sentenced at age 22 to life in prison, with no chance of asking for parole until he is 97.
His lawyer, Balfour Der, said the reduced parole ineligibility gives Saretzky an opportunity to apply for parole when he is 47 years old.

By Aryeh Savir, TPS
In recent weeks, a delegation of senior Canadian military personnel has been documented patrolling in uniform in Area C in Judea and Samaria, including at an illegally-built structure, the Regavim organization reported Thursday.
Area C is under full Israeli security and civilian control, as per the 1993 Oslo Accords.
Last week, a high-ranking Canadian army officer, together with a delegation of Canadian military personnel, visited an illegal structure built on state land belonging to Maon in the southern Hebron Mountains, where he met with Arabs from the area.
The delegation was also hosted by the IDF’s Central Command General Yehuda Fuchs, hence their identity is known and their presence on the ground is known to IDF officials.
The illegal building that the Canadian delegation visited was erected during the night within a few hours, in Area C on land designated for agriculture and belongs to the nearby Israeli community of Maon.
The Israeli residents of the community appealed to the IDF and the Civil Administration to stop the work and demolish the building. According to them, the Civil Administration has pledged to enforce the law but so far has not done so.
Shortly after the referral to the Civil Administration, the visit of the Canadian delegation, which included two uniformed military personnel, was documented.
The delegation was also documented during a visit to the village of Zurif near the community of Carmi Tzur in Gush Etzion, and this week they were discovered again in a meeting with Arabs near the village of Kisan in eastern Gush Etzion, also in Area C.
“Imagine that Chief of Staff [Aviv] Kochavi would walk around the Canadian border wearing a uniform with ranks on his shoulder and reinforcing criminal border smugglers,” said Meir Deutsch, Regavim’s Director-General.
“Is Canada planning to start a war with Israel? A senior military figure from a foreign country who encourages criminals who have invaded the country’s lands under the auspices of the PA is utterly insane and a blatant and rude move against the State of Israel,” he stated.
Deutsch added that “as long as the State of Israel sees itself as a guest in Judea and Samaria and does not conduct itself as the landlord, the rest of the world will also see the State of Israel as a guest and not as the landlord.”
Seven new illegal buildings every day
Between the years 2019-2021, the Arabs built 5,097 new illegal structures, in areas under the full control of the State of Israel. This means that every day, about seven new illegal buildings are added to the area. The total number of illegal Arab buildings in Area C is 72,274.
At the same time, a PA-guided agricultural takeover of 7,125 dunams of land under Israeli control was recorded during this two-year period, reaching a total of 93,071 dunams, meaning that Israel is rapidly losing lands in Area C to illegal construction projects executed by the PA.
In 2009, then-prime minister of the PA Salaam Fayyad laid out the Plan for the Creation of the State of Palestine, a methodical program for seizing control of territory in Area C, under full Israeli control as prescribed by the Oslo Accords, to form a broad and viable basis for a Palestinian state, specifically in the areas under Israeli control.
Fayyad’s plan essentially bypasses all negotiations or compromises with Israel and creates facts on the ground.

Woman throws daughter into enclosure with live bear
Disturbing incident filmed at an Uzbek zoo shows the animal and the staff rushing to the toddler
In a blood-curdling incident captured on camera at a zoo in Uzbekistan’s capital city Tashkent on Friday, a young woman threw her three-year-old daughter into the enclosure of a massive brown bear.
CCTV footage from the scene showed the woman lifting the child into the air, putting her onto the fence of the enclosure and then pushing her into its five-meter-deep moat.
Zuzu the bear was visibly startled by the sudden invasion, rushing to check on the child as soon as she plunged into the moat. The animal approached the girl, sniffed her, and then walked away.
The predator was then promptly led away by the zoo’s staff, who hurried to extract the girl from the enclosure. While the infant was not harmed by the bear, she was hospitalized with injuries she suffered from her fall.
Uzbekistan’s prosecutors have launched a criminal probe into the incident, with the woman suspected of an attempted murder of a helpless person. If found guilty, she may face up to 15 years behind bars.
The woman, identified only as Z.T., had been known to the authorities, the country’s family ministry revealed Sunday. The 30-year-old had been receiving support over her crumbling marriage and suffered from depression, the ministry added. The woman’s husband is said to have been away, working in Russia.
Teen sentenced to 100 years over siblings’ deaths
Indiana teenager receives heavy sentence for murders of baby sister and brother
A teenager in the US state of Indiana has been sentenced to serve two consecutive 50-year prison terms for suffocating his baby stepbrother and half-sister to death in 2017, when he was just 13 years old. The judge who announced the sentence on Tuesday had insisted that the case against Nickalas Kedrowitz be tried in an adult court.
While the teen’s attorney had insisted his client had untreated mental health problems, Ripley County Prosecutor Richard Hertel pointed out that Kedrowitz had committed the crimes months apart, dismissing the notion that he had murdered his siblings in the “heat of passion.”
What kind of passion could we possibly be talking about?
Kedrowitz was convicted in August of murdering 11-month-old Nathaniel Ritz and 23-month-old Desiree McCartney in July 2017 and May 2017 respectively, at the family’s home in Osgood, Indiana. He was arrested in August 2018 and reportedly told detectives he was “freeing his siblings from hell and the chains of fire,” confessing to using a towel to suffocate his half-sister and a blanket to smother his stepbrother.
So, it was not mental illness, it was pure and simple demonic possession!
Questioned by investigators about what exactly the “hell” in question was, Kedrowitz answered “chores,” urging the authorities to look at the list of daily chores he was expected to complete. It’s not clear if they ever saw the list.
The teen’s uncle apparently told investigators that Ritz’s father had attacked Kedrowitz the day before he suffocated the infant boy, leaving the 13-year-old with a bloody nose. Shortly before killing his half-sister, the teen reportedly squeezed a kitten to death for allegedly scratching him.
According to an affidavit from Indiana state police, Kedrowitz told investigators he had “had a conversation with God about [his siblings’ deaths] but he could not talk about it because he had promised God he wouldn’t tell anyone.”
He, of course, wasn't God!
Kedrowitz’s own father is in prison on unrelated charges, while his mother cooperated with the investigation into her infant children’s deaths.
‘Remarkable’ images of our galaxy’s center revealed
A supermassive black hole lurking in the center of the Milky Way is the brightest spot
A new MeerKAT telescope image of the galactic center reveals the “complex heart” of the Milky Way, with astronomers saying they now have “the best insight yet into the population of mysterious ‘radio filaments’ found nowhere else.”
Released by the South African Radio Astronomy Observatory, the “remarkable” image is based on a mosaic of 20 separate observations, which took a total of 200 hours of MeerKAT telescope time to acquire.

The super-sensitive radio telescope consists of 64 antennas spread over a diameter of eight kilometers in the South African desert. It has allowed humanity to look into the center of the Milky Way, which, despite its relative closeness – it is just about 25,000 light-years away – is obscured by dust and gas and is very hard to penetrate.
The picture is dominated by the emission from the galactic center “super bubble,” which is traversed by many parallel radio-emitting magnetized threads astronomers call filaments.
The complex, cirrus-like emission from the Galactic centre super bubble dominates this image.
This is traversed by the Radio Arc, a complex of many parallel radio filaments.
The bright dot near the centre of this region is Sagittarius A, a 4 million solar mass black hole.

One of the strands has been lovingly nicknamed “Mouse” by the scientists; another feature is being called “Snake.” The supermassive black hole Sagittarius A can be seen as the brightest spot.
The clarity and depth of the image give it significant scientific potential, the astronomers say.
In the centre of the image is the supernova remnant G359.1-0.5. To the left is ‘the Mouse’, a runaway pulsar
possibly formed and ejected by the supernova event. To the upper right is one of the longest
and most famous radio filaments, known as ‘the Snake’. © Heywood, SARAO
“Up to 100 light-years long, these unique structures have defied a conclusive explanation for their origin since discovery over 35 years ago. MeerKAT has discovered many more such filaments than were previously known, and the new data release will allow astronomers to study these objects as a population for the first time,” the report reads.
The astronomers admit their own fascination over the discoveries, with SARAO chief scientist Dr. Fernando Camilo saying that “the best telescopes expand our horizons in unexpected ways.” The lead author of the study, Dr. Ian Heywood, confessed that he never gets tired of looking at the picture.

UN names Moscow Best world city to live in
The Russian capital beat out major European and North American rivals
to claim the top spot
The UN has published its global cities ranking for 2022, and has awarded Moscow the top spot among large cities for quality of life and infrastructure, commending the metropolis for its transportation and its citizens’ well-being.
A draft of the report, the full version of which will be released in March, was made available online on Wednesday. Experts analyzed the 50 largest cities globally and ranked 29 “world cities” according to six metrics: productivity, infrastructure development, quality of life, equity and social inclusion, environmental sustainability, and urban governance and legislation.
The Russian capital came out first in terms of “quality of life” and “infrastructure development,” and was third overall in the “City Prosperity Index,” which considered all the categories together. The first and second spots were taken by Singapore and Toronto respectively, and the fourth and fifth by Sydney and London.
The report defines quality of life as “how an individual’s life or society’s condition is in comparison to another person or society, i.e. how good (or bad) someone’s life is compared to other individuals’ lives. Therefore, this is the measurement of a city’s average achievements for ensuring general well-being and satisfaction of its citizens.”
Infrastructure development is defined as “the set of basic physical systems, organizational structures, facilities, and installations needed for the functioning of a society, or economy. The prosperity of a city largely depends on the development of infrastructure, including transportation, communication, or provision of [basic] services, among others.”
Among the 29 cities, Moscow was ranked 12th for productivity, 13th for equity and social inclusion, 17th for environmental sustainability, and 10th for urban governance and legislation.
Around 20 million people officially live in the Russian capital and its surrounding region, though measurements of the population vary according to methodology. Some estimates suggest the real figure is substantially higher.
By any accepted measure, with at least 13 million inhabitants, Moscow city proper is the largest wholly within Europe, beating out London, St. Petersburg, Paris and Berlin.

Montreal Terrorist Sentenced to Life in Prison for 2017 Michigan Airport Attack
'I regret I didn't kill that cop,' Amor Ftouhi tells judge
CBC News 
Amor Ftouhi has been sentenced to life in U.S. prison. (Facebook)
Amor Ftouhi, a Montreal man, was sentenced Thursday to life in a U.S. prison for stabbing a police officer in a Flint, Mich. airport in 2017.
His lawyers were seeking a 25-year sentence.
"He was crystal clear today. If he had the opportunity to kill more people, he would," said U.S. District Judge Matthew Leitman.
In court, Ftouhi had said he regretted not having a machine gun during the knife attack.
"Do I regret what I did? Never," Ftouhi told the judge in a federal courtroom in Flint. "I regret I didn't get that machine gun. I regret I didn't kill that cop."
Witnesses said he yelled 'Allahu akbar' while attacking Lt. Jeff Neville. The officer survived being stabbed in the neck.
"I'm glad he didn't have a machete on him," Neville said outside the courthouse after the sentencing. "A knife was enough to deal with."
Neville lost feeling on the right side of his face. He has retired from the airport police department because of post-traumatic stress disorder.
Thursday, Ftouhi testified he would do it again if given the chance.
Radio-Canada's Rose St-Pierre reports that Ftouhi told the judge he wished he had caused greater carnage.
In court, Ftouhi said he had a good education and many skills, but felt discrimination in Canada because he wasn't a white Christian. He pledged allegiance to his Muslim faith and said Western countries and Arabic countries should be cursed if they "don't rule according to Allah."
Ftouhi's attorney, Joan Morgan, wanted a 25-year prison sentence in solitary confinement, arguing it would be equivalent to a life sentence because Ftouhi is 51.
Morgan also said Ftouhi's mental health had deteriorated at the time of the attack and has slipped even further during the 22 months in custody awaiting trial and sentencing.
His mental health deteriorated when he was radicalized. Radical Muslims are all mentally ill and should be segregated from society.
"People change ... He is more than what his actions were," said Morgan.
Ftouhi was convicted in November of committing an act of terrorism transcending national boundaries.

Canadian Media Protects Vicious Muslim Who Beat Old Christian Woman Nearly to Death
DARKNESS DEEPENS IN WINDSOR, ONTARIO
Lloyd Billingsley, FPM
On Sunday, October 8, 2017, Anne Widholm took a morning stroll on the Ganatchio Trail in Windsor, Ontario. The 75-year-old grandmother and Sunday school teacher was picking up litter, as was her custom, when Habibullah Ahmad, 21, attacked the woman and left her unconscious and near death. The one-year anniversary of the attack passed without notice in local and national media, but there had been some news.
In late July, CTV news said AM800 News, CKLW, has learned that a date for Habibullah’s trial would be set sometime in January 2019, though no official court or police document was cited. The CTV piece came headlined, “Windsor man going to trial for alleged Ganatchio Trail attack,” and the story cited “an alleged vicious attack of an elderly woman.” According to Widholm’s doctor, there was nothing “alleged” about it.
“In my 12 years in Windsor, this is the most severe beating I’ve seen,” neurosurgeon Dr. Balraj Jhawar told the Windsor Star. Dr. Jhawar detailed multiple brain hemorrhages, fractured vertebrae and “the worst skull fractures” he had seen in more than a decade. “This is among the most brutal things I’ve seen in my career,” Dr. Jhawar explained. “Her eyes were so bruised, they were swollen shut.” The victim required two major surgical procedures over a total of eight hours.
“This was, without a doubt, a vicious, vicious attack,” Windsor police Sgt. Steve Betteridge told the Star. “It’s very alarming to see an attack of this nature, at that time of day, at that location,” and police said the attack “appears to be random in nature.” Dr. Jhawar found that judgment “totally unacceptable.”
“For all of us who live here in Windsor, we can’t tolerate this,” the neurosurgeon told the Star. “This is not just another assault. This is concerning to me. This is maybe representing a new, dark side of Windsor that we can’t let propagate.”
Widholm remained in critical condition and Habibullah Ahmad made a court appearance on October 23, 2017, more than two weeks after the attack. The initial charge of aggravated assault had been changed to attempted murder. Attorney Patricia Brown represented Ahmad and Justice of the Peace Salma Jaffar denied bail. It was uncertain whether the accused attacker had pleaded guilty or not guilty, a matter of some importance.
Canadian media, obviously, don't think it is important. In fact, if you Google Ahmad's name, you cannot find a story from any of Canada's major media outlets. Astonishing!
Habibullah Ahmad, 21, made no statement and police did not release his booking photo. Ahmad was described as a “Windsor man” who also calls himself “Daniel” but locals did not learn how long he had lived in Windsor and what family members, if any, had to say about him. Not a single news story detailed where Habibullah Ahmad went to school or where he worked. No fellow students or work colleagues went on record about the accused.
If Habibullah Ahmad said anything about his motive for attacking Anne Widholm, it failed to emerge in the media. News stories did explain that Anne Widholm is a Christian woman, and active at the Riverside Baptist Church. So was Habibullah Ahmad’s attack on her a hate crime? Did racism play any role in the attack? Does Habibullah Ahmad have any affiliations with violent groups abroad? Not a single clue emerged in local media, and the case, for the most part, dropped out of sight.
In late October, 2017, Anne Widholm’s condition was upgraded from critical to serious. The next month, her husband Alfred passed away, piling more grief on the victim. In April came news of a cleanup event on the Ganatchio trail, which revealed that Widholm “remains in a coma after being attacked on the trail in October.”
The attempted murder was one of the worst attacks Dr. Jhawar had ever seen, but news stories charted no demonstrations or protests upholding Anne Widholm as an example of violence against women. Kathleen Wynne, then Premier of Ontario and a campaigner against bullying, did not cite the case. Canadian feminists did not openly denounce Habibullah Ahmad, who also calls himself Daniel, as a vicious attacker of women.
In January, an 11-year-old Toronto girl charged that a man had twice cut her hijab. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau denounced the attack, which turned out to be a hoax. On the other hand, Trudeau had nothing to say about the attack on Anne Widholm, which was not a hoax. Her most vocal advocate has been Dr. Jhawar, who describes the victim as “a super good person.”
A year later, the “alleged attack,” went unmentioned and locals had been kept in the dark about the man charged with attempted murder. A date for his trial would be set in January, 2019 but that had not been officially confirmed by the court. It would be hard to blame anyone in Windsor for thinking that this amounted to special protection for Habibullah Ahmad and denial of justice for Anne Widholm.
I'm not sure a 'denial of justice' claim is warranted; it's too early. But it certainly is an indictment of Canadian mainstream media and our far-left Liberal establishment.
This is the same attitude displayed in Sweden and Germany that leaves innocent Swedish and German girls vulnerable to rape and gang-rape. It is the same attitude that leads to a severe backlash both politically and on the ground with the formation of far-right, racist gangs. When governments and media ignore, or exacerbate problems with a particular demographic, society will raise up an element to deal with it, and it won't be pretty.

Disguised in a Burka, Hitman Points His Gun at Hells Angel's Head - Gun Misfires
Knowah Ferguson was 18 when he tried to kill Damion Ryan,
a full-patch Hells Angels member
Rhianna Schmunk · CBC News 
Knowah Ferguson thought he stood to make a "quick and easy" $200,000.
All he had to do was shoot Damion Ryan — a full-patch member of the Hells Angels gang twice his size — in the food court at Vancouver International Airport at lunchtime on a Friday afternoon, according to evidence at Ferguson's attempted murder trial.
Ferguson — an 18-year-old from Ontario with no previous criminal record — nearly succeeded, but his gun jammed when it was against the back of Ryan's head on April 10, 2015.
Both men ran away and Ferguson was later sent to prison for attempted murder.
Security footage obtained by CBC News on Thursday shows the failed hit as it played out in real time — from a disguised Ferguson arriving at the airport on a Canada Line train to both men escaping on the same train, riding in separate cars metres apart.
Failed hit
Ferguson had just turned 18 when he took a bus from Hamilton, Ont., to Vancouver to do criminal work, court heard.
He planned to shoot Ryan in the food court as the target sat next to a member of the United Nations criminal gang, who had arranged the hit on Ryan. He has not been identified.
Video footage shown to the CBC but not cleared for publication shows Ferguson arrived at the airport by Canada Line at 1:08 p.m.
He wore a black burka, which was too short for him, leaving his black, high-top sneakers visible at the bottom.
The gun — which, court heard, Ferguson had tested beforehand in preparation — was hidden in a black purse hanging from his right arm.
Seemingly calm and seldom looking around, Ferguson can be seen walking to the food court near the international check-in counter and sitting down to wait.
After 15 minutes, Ryan arrives and takes a seat across from the UN member — half a dozen tables away from Ferguson and surrounded by dozens of bystanders eating lunch.
Ferguson appears to spot Ryan, makes a trip to the bathroom and returns to a table closer to his target.
Another seven minutes pass and the three men sit, the hitman and target with their backs to each other.
At 1:54 p.m., Ferguson scans the room, stands, peeks inside the purse one more time and tucks the gun up his sleeve.
He walks past five tables before stopping directly behind Ryan.
Ferguson lifts the gun to the back of the target's head and the UN member leans away — but nothing fires.
Ryan can be seen swinging his right arm up behind his head to swat the gun away.
In less than a second, the Hells Angel is up and sprinting out of the food court. Ferguson follows close behind, and the UN member walks off in another direction.
None of the bystanders appear to realize what's happened.
Escape by Canada Line
Canada Line is an elevated, rapid transit, train line from downtown Vancouver to the airport (YVR) on Sea Island.
Another angle of security footage shows Ryan running toward the international check-in desks to escape. Ferguson veers left, charging down a flight of stairs before slowing down and walking out of the airport to the parkade.
Ferguson disappears from view into a stairwell, emerging in a grey baseball cap, black hoodie and the same black sneakers. The black purse is stuffed in a blue plastic shopping bag.
Ferguson escaped the airport on a Canada Line train at 1:59 p.m., less than five minutes after the botched hit.
Ryan can be seen getting on a different car of the same train, 21 seconds after Ferguson boards near the front.
It's unclear if either man knew the other was on the train.
Arrest and conviction
Ferguson and two associates were arrested on firearms offences after a stolen truck they'd been using was spotted by its owner in Vancouver, two months after the attempted hit at the airport.
On Sept. 7, Ferguson, now 21, was sentenced to seven years for attempted murder and four years for conspiracy.
He received credit for time served, leaving him with a little more than six years to spend behind bars.
Court heard Damion Ryan did not co-operate with the investigation.
One of several good reasons for not allowing burqas in civilized countries.

Mayor of German City Stabbed in Neck After Taking in More Refugees Than Quota
The New Normal - Germany

The mayor of the western German town of Altena suffered a slash to the neck in what security authorities believe was an attack with a “political motive.” Under the current mayor, the town has accommodated more refugees than required by national quota.
On Monday evening, a reportedly drunk man approached Mayor Andreas Hollstein, who had gone to a downtown kebab shop to get a donair for his wife. According to German media, the man loudly criticized the mayor’s policies and asked Hollstein if he was the one before pulling out a knife.
“You let me die of thirst and bring 200 refugees to Altena,” he told Hollstein, according to the mayor, who spoke Tuesday at a press conference. The assailant then stabbed 54-year-old Hollstein in the neck with a blade, local police say, causing a 15cm-long gash. “Shoot me!” yelled the assailant, held by witnesses, when officers arrived. Hollstein was rushed to the hospital and released hours later.
“Yes, I feared for my life and I'm pretty sure I would not have it [life] anymore – if I had not had help,” he confessed, saying it felt like it was his “third birthday,” having also beaten cancer. “I was given another life yesterday.”
The attacker intended to kill the mayor, according to the owner of the kebab shop, where the incident took place. The proprietor was one of those who caught the assailant and held him until the police arrived.
“The attacker asked the mayor whether he was the mayor, the mayor said ‘Yes’ and it happened very fast, he pulled out a knife. I think he took it out of his pocket, he put him in a headlock, and wanted to cut his throat completely,” Ahmet Abdullah told Ruptly.
The attacker had an “alleged xenophobic motivation,” a police statement reads.
“The security authorities believe that there was a political motive to this attack,” North Rhine-Westphalia’s CDU state premier, Armin Laschet, said. The offender commented on a migration issue, Laschet added.
Hollstein’s wife had repeatedly warned him of a possible attack numerous threats against the mayor, he said. Still, he “will continue to work for people, both for refugees and for people who have been there before and will come, just as any other mayor.”
“We have good, bad and normal people everywhere,” he added.
Hollstein’s liberal policies towards asylum seekers have earned his city nationwide fame. Altena, with the population of some 17,300, received the National Integration Prize from Chancellor Angela Merkel for taking in extra refugees and assisting them under a special program. “I believe we are leading Germany towards a bright future - that future is diverse,” Hollstein said at the time.
Ah, yes! Sunny ways!
However, not everybody in Altena seemed to welcome the policy. In 2015, a firefighter and his accomplice set fire to a house, into which a group of Syrians had just moved. The arsonist later admitted that he didn’t want any refugees in the neighborhood, fearing “thefts, burglaries or sexual assaults.”
Following the Monday attack on the mayor, Chancellor Merkel said she was “horrified,” via her spokesperson in a Twitter post.

Wisconsin Girl Reaches Plea Deal in 'Slender Man' Stabbing Case

under agreement announced in court

One of two Wisconsin girls charged with stabbing a classmate to impress the fictitious horror character "Slender Man" will plead guilty in a deal that calls for her to avoid prison time, attorneys announced Friday.
Morgan Geyser, 15, will remain in a state mental hospital under an agreement announced in a court hearing two weeks before her trial was set to start. The deal calls for Geyser to be evaluated by doctors who will report to a judge for a determination of how long she should remain in treatment.
Geyser and Anissa Weier were charged with attempted first-degree intentional homicide in the 2014 attack on classmate Payton Leutner. Weier pleaded guilty to a reduced charge last month, and a jury later concluded she was mentally ill at the time of the crime. She faces at least three years in a mental hospital.
All three girls were 12 at the time.

"It's been a tragic experience for everyone" Geyser's attorney, Donna Kuchler, said after the brief court hearing. "Our hearts go out to the victim and her family. And we're very grateful that the district attorney's office gave this case the considering it deserves," she said.
A plea hearing to make the deal official is scheduled for Thursday.
Prosecutors alleged the teenage girls stabbed Leutner 19 times in a wooded area following a sleepover, then left her. The girls planned to walk hundreds of miles north to meet Slender Man in a forest.
Leutner was able to crawl out of the woods in the park to a path where she was found by a bicyclist.
Both girls are now presumed mentally ill at the time of the stabbing. Were they mentally ill before and after the stabbing? Were they so influenced by Slenderman that they became mentally ill? At 12 years old we should have some grasp of reality. Were they pot smokers? Is there an investigation into Slenderman? Did someone controlling Slenderman encourage the girls to do this evil? There are many unanswered questions to this story.

At Least 2 and Probably 3 Axe Attacks in Germany in Two Days
Injured man found in Dusseldorf 1 day after ax attack
A person suffering from cuts has been found in the German city of Dusseldorf the day after nine people were injured in an ax attack at the city’s main train station. Police have launched a manhunt, which ended without success.
The incident occurred in Dusseldorf’s northern district of Kaiserswerth. Police have confirmed that a man that was found “has cut injuries and is now being treated in a hospital,” although they have been yet unable to reveal any further details about the situation.
The law enforcement also said in a statement that the victim of the assault is 80 years old, adding that his injuries are thought not to be life-threatening.
A large number of officers have been deployed to the scene amid increased security measures in the city, which were taken following Thursday’s ax attack, a police spokeswoman.
According to the press release, special forces units and helicopters have been called in to find the unidentified attacker.
The police spokeswoman also said authorities have no evidence so far indicating that there might be a link between today’s incident and Thursday’s assault.
However, later police said in another statement that officers failed to detain the suspect during the manhunt and eventually were forced to stop the search for him. However, the investigation of the incident continues.
In the meantime, the number of people injured in the Thursday ax attack has risen to nine.
Four men and five women are among the injured, police announced, adding that one of them is 13 years old.
According to police, the perpetrator of Thursday’s assault has “paranoid schizophrenia.” Officers found medical documents confirming that the suspect had mental illness as they searched his apartment in Wuppertal.
Law enforcement have also found no evidence indicating that the man had “a religious or political motive,” the local police chef, Dietmar Kneib, told reporters during the press conference. He added that the whole situation “looks like as it is a crime committed by a mentally-unstable man.”
The suspect is from Kosovo and was living in Germany on a tolerated stay “due to humanitarian reasons.”
Humanitarian reasons - does that mean Germany is safer than Kosovo?
Ax attack in Magdeburg - Stunning coincidence
In the meantime, police also revealed that another attack committed by person wielding an ax occurred in the German city of Magdeburg around the same time as a similar incident took place in Dusseldorf.
On Thursday evening, two masked men, who remain unidentified so far, attacked another man, 29, who was sitting in his car. One of the attackers was wielding an ax while the second one had a baseball bat. They smashed the windows of the car and hit it with the ax.
They also attacked the victim directly, but he sustained only “light injuries” as a result of the incident, German MDR broadcaster reports. Police already detained one of the suspects, the German media reported, adding that he is a 34-year-old Magdeburg resident.

Police have charged seven young migrants with attempted murder after they allegedly tried to set a homeless man on fire in a Berlin subway station, Germany's broadcaster Deutsche Welle reports.
The 37-year-old was sleeping on a bench in the Schoenleinstrasse subway station at around 2 a.m. Sunday. Passersby extinguished the paper that he apparently had used to cover himself, and a train driver used a fire extinguisher to prevent the flames from spreading.
The man, who was intoxicated, was unhurt.
Six of those charged turned themselves in Monday evening and the seventh was arrested after authorities released surveillance camera pictures and video footage of them in a subway train, German police said Tuesday.
They're all male and between 15 and 21 years old. Six are from Syria and one is from Libya, and all came to Berlin as asylum seekers, according to prosecutors.
