ATLANTA — An Atlanta rapper who previously claimed to have been shot on at least 11 different occasions -- and who in December, after being wounded, proclaimed "God made me bulletproof" -- was shot and killed Sunday, reports CBS affiliate WGCL-TV.

Jibril Abdur-Rahman, 28, who was better known as Yung Mazi, was found dead with multiple gunshot wounds inside the Urban Pie pizza shop in Atlanta's Kirkwood neighborhood, police said. The restaurant was less than 200 feet from a police station.


"Say what?" God says.

You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

India has a weird relationship with animals. They currently have a rogue elephant who has trampled 15 people and they are hoping not to kill it.

Quote:
Elephants kill roughly 60 people every year in forested Jharkhand, Singh said, just a fraction of the estimated 1,100 who died nationwide from elephant or tiger attacks in the three years to May.

The environment ministry estimates a person dies every day in India in clashes with these endangered, jungle-dwelling animals -- the vast majority crushed by elephants.

Violent encounters between elephants and humans were an "increasing trend", said Singh, as vast swathes of forest are cleared for human settlements or industry.


Clearing land doesn't help. And Hindu beliefs keeps them from killing animals it seems. Religion doesn't need logic.

I read something recently that suggested that it became prohibited to eat beef in India because one of the cultures that invaded brought domesticated cattle, perhaps this was in prehistory. The conquering peoples wanted to encourage milk production in particular, not wanting those cows to be used for food. The natives, not inclined otherwise to not eat the animals, wound up internalizing it as a religious prohibition.

College Student Sentenced To Prison for Voter Registration Fraud, 4 Others Arrested For Fake ID Scheme.

Free speech or not? Is it time we make a law that you have to turn your voter registration in across the counter at the USPS, you and only you?

Of course we can pay the USPS a small fee for this service, the bad shape they are in they could use it.
The President is a fink.

>>>>The U.S. attorney’s office believes the false identities may have been used to fraudulently register to vote.
Of course they believe that... it gets them headlines because it is presently a popular notion. Fake ids for buying booze is no longer the first thing to come to mind.

It is a riot, no terrorism. A car going into a peaceful crowd is terrorism. A car hitting a crowd after a brick was thrown at during a riot is just part of a riot.

The only good Nazi is a dead Nazi.

Too bad our President disagrees.

I support the police
The police arrested the driver because he broke the law
Its clear his intent was to injure and kill as many people as possible using his car as a weapon
