Hong Kong pro-democracy tycoon Jimmy Lai arrested
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-53717843
BBC Wrote:Hong Kong pro-democracy tycoon Jimmy Lai has been arrested for suspected collusion with foreign forces, his aide has said.
Mark Simon said the businessman was held under the controversial national security law imposed by China in June.
In February, the 71-year-old mogul was charged with illegal assembly and intimidation. He was later granted police bail.
And on 30 June, when the security law was passed, the businessman told the BBC that this "spells the death knell for Hong Kong".
He's a real billionaire! Shocked And even money couldn't buy his freedom this time. Confused


Pro-Police protesters clash with BLM demonstrators in Colorado

Fox News Wrote:10 to 15 people just piled up on top of each other. Chokeholds, batons, punched in the face all of it, and there were no police.
Another attendee can be heard on the video saying, "Keep punching each other in the face but don't shoot anybody."
Ciara Wilson, a local high school student who filmed part of the fight, said there were no police to be found as opposing sides battered one another in the grassy ditch.
That's what happens when people has nothing better to do. Sad They've got too much spare time to burn fighting other people like madmen.

Seattle police chief quits after city council votes to strip funds
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-53742006
Chief Carmen Best couldn't stand it anymore and resigned immediately after hearing about the council's decision.
Keep in mind she's been the first black Chief of Police in Seattle.

BBC Wrote:On Monday, the city council voted to slash over $3m (£2.3m) from the police's $400m annual operating budget. The cuts are expected to lead to the loss of about 100 police officers, but fall short of the hopes of anti-police brutality Black Lives Matter protesters who have called for a 50% reduction.
Seattle City Council President M Lorena González said it was necessary to rebalance the police budget, due to a loss of government tax funds caused by the economic downturn, and the demands of Black Lives Matter protests - some of whom have called for "defunding" the police and instead using the money to bolster social services.
The new budget also slashes the police chief's salary from $294,000 to $275,000 per year.

I'm Latino and I don't care if people hate me but even I have to admit González is an idiot. Angry So criminals and protesters that wanna commit crimes and go unpunished should get what they've been asking for? Sarcasm 
Of course, Democrats love to hire private security and let the community lose 100 police officers even if the pandemic continues hitting families' pockets hard.

Belarus on a rampage Ticked off
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-53760453
The second protester passed away in police custody. He had heart issues according to his mother. UN High Commissioner for Human Rights  stated 6,000 people have been detained in the last three days. That includes bystanders and minors. Reports mention ill-treatment during and after detention.

BBC Wrote:At least 200 protesters have been wounded, some seriously. A BBC crew was also attacked by police on Tuesday evening.
The protests erupted hours after Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko, in power since 1994, was declared the winner of Sunday's vote, which has been condemned by the EU as "neither free nor fair".
The main opposition contender, Svetlana Tikhanovskaya, was then briefly held before fleeing to neighbouring Lithuania.
Lukashenko doesn't seem to care about the results of his "rigged elections". Sad

BBC Wrote:Sweden's foreign minister said EU foreign ministers would meet on Friday to discuss imposing sanctions on Belarus.
Lithuania, Poland and Latvia said they were prepared to mediate, provided Belarusian authorities stopped violence against protesters, release detained demonstrators and form a national council with members of civil society. They warned that the alternative was sanctions.

I hope the European Union does take this matter seriously and directly sanction Belarussian leadership.

CHILDREN AT RISK!
NYC 'illegally' placed pedophiles near Upper West Side Elementary School!
New York City's Mayor De Blasio placed at least six homeless pedophiles, all of whom were parole for child sex crimes, at a luxury Upper West Side Hotel just under 1,000 feet from an Elementary School Playground! All were classified as high-risk sex offenders, and they all had committed violent sex crimes with children as young as a mere 4 years old! This is just the city’s latest move that has garnered widespread anger and outrage from residents.
Sarcasm And yet, there's nothing from CNN, New York Times nor MSNBC when googling "New York Pedophile".


ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK!
Residents Leaving New York in Droves!
"Start spreading the news, New Yorkers are leaving today!"♪♫♫♪♫
“People are fleeing the city in droves,” says Moon Salahie, owner of Elite Moving & Storing in Yonkers.
FlatRate Movers said the 100 moves a day it does in the city are very different from previous years. “We used to move a lot of people from Brooklyn to Manhattan or Queens,” said David Giampietro, the company’s chief administrative officer. “Now it’s the mileage. We’re not going 5 miles anymore. It’s more like 20, 30, 40” to New Jersey, Connecticut and upstate.”
“Before, you can take them out to the park, playground. Now, that’s not even possible,” Fatine Fatri told the paper about her two children. “It was a nightmare.” Fatri is one of several mothers who say that the city's rising crime rates, coupled with continued lockdown measures, have made living in the city untenable.
“As a parent, this isn’t the place I once knew. I feel like NYC is disappearing so fast, and no one’s doing anything,” said Allison Eden, a mother of two teenagers. “There’s nowhere for them to go. I don’t want to feel afraid, and I don’t want my children to be scared to go outside.”

We all know this, Iran has to deal with a heavy embargo imposed by the US for producing nuclear stuff claiming it's for energy purposes. EU hasn't done much about it anyway. So how exactly is Iran selling fuel to Venezuela if that's clearly forbidden?
The answer is simple. They hire foreigners that can send four or five vessels to collect the fuel and travel the oceans till they reach Maduro's dystopia.

US Postal Service warns of risk of delay for mail-in votes
https://www.bbc.com/news/election-us-2020-53782331
BBC Wrote:The US Postal Service (USPS) has warned one state that its election laws might mean that millions of mail-in votes go uncounted in November's election.
In a letter to Pennsylvania's top official overseeing the vote, the USPS said that a one-week turnaround for mail-in ballots may not be possible.
It comes amid a major slowdown in mail deliveries which critics say is due to policies enacted by a Trump appointee.
A record number of people are expected to vote by mail due to the pandemic.
Stop guys! Shocked Don't even believe Democrats are playing fair because they aren't! Here's why:



BBC Wrote:The letter was made public on Thursday as Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar asked the state's supreme court to allow ballots to be counted as long as they were received up to three days after the election. Currently, votes are discarded if they are received after election day.
Pennsylvania is a battleground state, which Mr Trump won by less than 1% in the 2016 election.
Neighbouring New Jersey's Democratic governor announced on Friday that the state will pre-emptively send ballots to every registered voter in the state. The process of sending out ballots is known as universal mail-in voting, and has been adopted in nine other US states.
Yeah well, go check out if most if not all of them are Democrat States by tradition. Sarcasm
US Post would need additional time to make sure they can transport all those ballots in a timely fashion.

RE: News of the World - MetalRenard - 08-16-2020

You can't really call this 'news' when you give every political article a personal spin.
Most people in Europe believe the US president is a dangerous fool, it is true. But to go so far as to say an entire, considered mostly right-wing leaning news oranisation 'hates Trump' is proposterous.


Quote:Don't forget BBC clearly hates Trump so it's not amazing they still wanna blame him for it.

Stop guys! Don't even believe Democrats are playing fair because they aren't!

I noticed something really interesting lately - how much US media is politicised. I started using a VPN to protect my privacy and sometimes I connect via west-coast US. When I'm connected there, I get at least 50% ads about political parties, senators, surveys about Trump, opinion/character pieces etc.
Compare that to Europe or Japan, this never happens.

A lot of the issues people are facing in the US are caused by the over politicisation of every day activities. Masks, environment, vaccines, abortion, these are all examples. All these frictions cause countries to be polarised when they would be stronger together.
Instead, it's Democrats this, Republicans that. Nothing ever gets better because you fight over which tribe you belong to instead of what you believe in.
