President George H.W. Bush Has Passed Away

/0 Comments/in , /by

George H.W. Bush, who in one term as president reasserted the U.S. as the world’s lone superpower, rallying an international coalition against Iraq’s Saddam Hussein in the first Gulf War and presiding over the fall of the Berlin Wall and subsequent collapse of the Soviet Union, died on Friday. He was 94. . .

“Jeb, Neil, Marvin, Doro and I are saddened to announced that after 94 remarkable years, our dear Dad has died,” his son said in a statement released Friday night.

“George H.W. Bush was a man of the highest character and the best dad a son or daughter could ask for. The entire Bush family is deeply grateful for 41’s life and love, for the compassion of those who have cared and prayed for Dad, and for the condolences of our friends and fellow citizens,” the statement read.

Grandson George P. Bush said on Twitter Friday night, “He was more than a great man; he was a good man. His courage was matched by his compassion; and his dedication to country was equaled only by his devotion to his family.”

One of the most experienced public servants in U.S. history, Bush served two terms as vice president under Ronald Reagan before becoming president in 1989, capping off a career that included stints as director of the CIA and U.S. ambassador to China and the U.N. in the 1970s.

Woman Calls 911 and Says She’s Dying. The 911 Operator’s Response Is Insane.

/0 Comments/in , /by

In a gripping and shocking exchange, a young French woman in mortal danger and agonizing pain called emergency services and told the operator she was going to die, only to have the operatory coldly respond, “”Yes … you will die, certainly, one day, like everyone else.” The 22-year-old woman died only a few hours later. . .

The operator then gave Musenga the phone number to SOS Médecins, France’s medical emergency service that sends doctors directly to a house. . .

According to CNN affiliate BFM TV, the lawyer for Musenga’s family said at a Thursday news conference that a doctor who came to Musenga’s house had her taken to a hospital, but she suffered two heart attacks soon after she arrived and eventually died. BFM TV reported that the initial autopsy showed symptoms of multiple organ failure and hemorrhaging.

The Musenga family lawyer told reporters, “There were no questions like: ‘Are you alone? Are you able to dial the phone number?’ ‘How long have you been hurt?’ Or ‘Are you in pain?’ All that she has had as treatment is indifference or cynicism.” Musenge’s father Policarpe told reporters, “We are waiting for justice to be done … to make sure this doesn’t happen again. Whether it was bad will or dysfunctions, it is a serious error.” (Read more from “Woman Calls 911 and Says She’s Dying. The 911 Operator’s Response Is Insane.” HERE)

Teenager Crushed to Death Despite Calls to 911

/0 Comments/in , /by

Ohio authorities are investigating how a student was crushed to death in the back of a minivan at a school parking lot despite calling 911 two times with his exact location.

The Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office is launching an investigation into the death of 16-year-old Kyle Plush, whose body was discovered by his father six hours after he called 911 begging for help and giving dispatchers the correct description of the minivan and his location.

According to audio recordings, Plush called 911 at least twice Tuesday afternoon while he was trapped in the 2002 Honda Odyssey minivan outside Seven Hills School. The third-row seat flipped and had him pinned inside.

“I’m going to die here,” the sophomore told the dispatcher during his first 911 call, which was placed shortly after 3 p.m. Tuesday. “I probably don’t have much time left. Tell my mom I love her if I die.”

The dispatcher can be heard asking for his location several times but it was unclear whether Plush heard the operator’s questions, according to police. (Read more from “Teenager Crushed to Death Despite Calls to 911” HERE)

Dead at 42: Healthy Broward County Sheriff Deputy Who Questioned Parkland School Shooting’s Gun Control Agenda

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Sometime on or around April 1, 2018 Broward County Sheriff’s Deputy Jason Fitzsimons, 42 years old and in excellent state of mind and health, called in sick to his job. Shortly thereafter Fitzsimons was found dead on his sofa. There has been a complete “news blackout” of this curious and untimely death.

Deputy Fitzsimons wasn’t just any law enforcement officer. Unlike many of his peers, he took to social media to question the potential agenda behind the February 14 Marjory Stoneman High School mass shooting, suggesting that the event was being used to promote the Democratic Party’s gun control platform in anticipation of the 2018 midterm elections. And recent personnel decisions involving public officials indicate, an unwritten law of taxpayer-funded institutions is that employees disavow and steer clear of “conspiracy theories” that may call their superiors’ motives into question.

One post found on Fitzsimons’ Facebook page depicts the Parkland massacre’s main spokesperson, David Hogg, in National Socialist regalia, with the caption, “We will March Until We Disarm Every American.”

The circumstances surrounding Deputy Fitzsimons’ death are sketchy. The official cause has been attributed to cancer, yet this is contradicted by an obituary found at obittree.com, stating that he “died unexpectedly.” The “died unexpectedly” phrase is one morticians and/or loved ones sometimes employ when for one reason or another they are reluctant to disclose the true cause of death, as in the case of a suicide.

Broward County Sheriff’s Deputy Who Questioned Parkland School Shooting’s Gun Confiscation Agenda Found Dead

By Freedom Outpost. OK, from the outset, let me say I’m not saying that there is something sinister going on here, but at the same time, I’m not so naive to think there couldn’t be something sinister, especially since this deputy questioned what was really going on and was only 42 years old and in excellent health. Still Broward County Sheriff’s Deputy Jason Fitzsimons died on April 1, 2018 at his home on his sofa.

Deputy Fitzsimons, unlike Sheriff Scott Israel, questioned a lot of what was taking place following the Marjory Stoneman High School shooting that took place on February 14 of this year. And he wasn’t a coward about it either.

Fitzsimons also suggested that “the event was being used to promote the Democratic Party’s gun control platform in anticipation of the 2018 midterm elections,” according to James Tracy.

But what happened to Fitzsimons? As the Broward County Sheriff’s Office tweeted out the news of his death, many questioned the timing and cause, considering his pro-gun stance and apparent good health.

. . .

Fitzsimons had called in sick one day, and the next he was dead. Something seems amiss here. (Read more from “Broward County Sheriff’s Deputy Who Questioned Parkland School Shooting’s Gun Confiscation Agenda Found Dead” HERE)

Lesbian Couple Drives Entire Adopted Family off California Cliff

/1 Comment/in , , /by

By The Daily Mail. The lesbian mothers who died on Monday along with at least three of their six adopted children after plunging 100ft over a coastal cliff in California had been reported to Child Protective Services days earlier for allegedly starving their kids.

On Friday, neighbors of Jennifer and Sarah Hart, both 39, called CPS to report that their son Devonte had come to their home asking for food every day for a week.

They said Devonte – who made national headlines when he was pictured hugging a police officer during a 2014 protest – asked them to leave food out in a box for him and said his mothers were ‘punishing’ him by not feeding him. . .

On Friday, a CPS worker arrived at the home and knocked on the door, according to the neighbors Bruce and Dana DeKalb, but the Harts never answered.

Instead, they packed up in a hurry and fled with all six kids in their 2003 GMC Sierra truck, they said. (Read more from “Lesbian Couple Drives Entire Adopted Family off California Cliff” HERE)

Family of 8 That’s Feared Dead After SUV Plunged off Cliff Had Troubled Home Life, Neighbors Say

By The Washington Post. What happened to the Hart family Monday is almost unimaginable: Their SUV plunged off a Pacific Coast Highway cliff, crashing onto the rocky coast 100 feet below.

Some things are certain, according to authorities. The married couple, Jennifer Jean Hart and Sarah Margaret Hart, both 38, were killed. So were three of their six adopted children: Martin, 19; Abigail, 14; and Jeremiah, 14.

But much remains unknown, including the fates of the Harts’ three other children — Hannah, 16; Devonte, 15; and Sierra, 12. They are feared dead; authorities say they have “every indication to believe” that all six children were in the family’s 2003 GMC Yukon when it drove off an ocean overlook near Mendocino, Calif., about 150 miles north of San Francisco . . .

The visit is part of a troubling narrative about what went on inside the Harts’ home. Court documents show that in 2011, when Sarah Hart lived in Minnesota, she was convicted of misdemeanor domestic assault. In Woodland, some of the Harts’ neighbors were concerned about the children’s well-being.

Woman Killed After Non-Impaired Driver Taking Breathalyzer Test Hits Her

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Texas woman died Friday afternoon after being hit by a non-impaired driver who was taking a breathalyzer test while operating his vehicle.

Alexis Butler, 18, was backing her car out of a driveway on Nov. 10 when the passenger side of her car was hit by a pickup truck, KXAS reported.

An investigation by the Arlington Police Department didn’t find any track marks from the 31-year-old unidentified driver on the road that would indicate he tried to stop the car.

The driver reportedly told police that he couldn’t see Butler’s car because his eyes were off the road while performing a breathalyzer test on a court-ordered device “for three to four seconds.” Police said he was non-impaired at the time.

The ignition interlock device prevents a vehicle from starting if the driver is found to have been drinking. (Read more from “Woman Killed After Non-Impaired Driver Taking Breathalyzer Test Hits Her” HERE)

Teens Filmed, Mocked and Laughed While Disabled Man Slowly Drowned

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Authorities in Florida say that a group of teenagers recorded the drowning of a disabled man last week — and did nothing to help as they made fun of his struggles.

Jamel Dunn, 32, of Cocoa, drowned in a retention pond July 9. His body was recovered July 14, two days after his fiancee reported him missing. Late last week, a friend of Dunn’s family came across the video on social media and forwarded it to authorities in Brevard County.

In the video, which was published by the Florida Today newspaper Thursday, the teens can be heard laughing at Dunn as he splashes futilely in the water and screams for help.

“Get out the water, you gonna die,” yells one, while another yells, “ain’t nobody fixing to help you, you dumb (expletive).” As Dunn disappears under the water, one of the teens says, “Oh, he just died.”

Investigators say none of the teens — all between 14 and 16 years old — called 911 to report Dunn’s drowning or tried to help the man. (Read more from “Teens Filmed, Mocked and Laughed While Disabled Man Slowly Drowned” HERE)

Glacier in Swiss Alps Melts, Revealing Couple Who Disappeared 70 Years Ago

/0 Comments/in , /by

More than 70 years ago, a couple left their home in the Swiss Alps to milk their cows. They were never seen again.

Last week, a melting glacier led to the discovery of two bodies near a ski lift on the Tsanfleuron glacier, by a worker for a resort company.

“The bodies were lying near each other. It was a man and a woman wearing clothing dating from the period of World War II,” Glacier 3000 director Bernhard Tschannen told local media, according to Reuters. “They were perfectly preserved in the glacier and their belongings were intact.”

Marcelin and Francine Dumoulin left their home in Switzerland’s Valais canton on Aug. 15, 1942, according to Reuters. They were heading to their cows on a meadow above, but never returned home. (Read more from “Glacier in Swiss Alps Melts, Revealing Couple Who Disappeared 70 Years Ago” HERE)

/0 Comments/in , /by

Eighteen Penn State fraternity brothers have been charged with crimes ranging up to involuntary manslaughter in the death of a pledge who authorities say repeatedly fell down a flight of stairs after he and others were made to run a gantlet of drinking stations guzzling vodka, beer and wine.

Beta Theta Pi members resisted getting help for 19-year-old Timothy Piazza, causing him to suffer for hours and possibly making his injuries worse, a prosecutor said Friday in announcing the results of a grand jury investigation . . .

Eight of the fraternity brothers and the chapter were charged with involuntary manslaughter. Other charges include aggravated and simple assault, evidence tampering, alcohol-related violations and hazing. (Read more from “Fraternity, 18 Members Charged in Penn State Hazing Death” HERE)

OUTRAGE: Doctor Has Family Members Hold Grandma down in Horrific Euthanasia Case

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Dutch woman doctor who asked an elderly patient’s family to hold her down while she administered a fatal drug dose has been cleared under Holland’s euthanasia laws.

Mailonline reported that the patient fought desperately in an attempt not to be killed.

Jacob Kohnstamm, chairman of the Regional Review Committee, which considered the case, said: “I am convinced that the doctor acted in good faith, and we would like to see more clarity on how such cases are handled in the future.”

As a result, the case will be considered by Dutch courts to clarify the law over whether doctors who carry out euthanasia on patients with dementia should face prosecution if they acted in good faith . . .

In this case, the woman, who was suffering from dementia, had earlier expressed a desire to have her life ended when she felt the “time was right”. (Read more from “OUTRAGE: Doctor Has Family Members Hold Grandma down in Horrific Euthanasia Case” HERE)
