Gee, ya think? Unfortunately, once you get on the jihadi bus – you dress in beekeeper outfits – and you don’t get off until the rides over….

SYRIA – The teenage girls who abandoned their families in Austria to become jihadis for ISIS feel they’ve made a terrible mistake by joining the barbaric lifestyle and they want to come home.

Samra Kesinovic, 17, and Sabina Selimovic, 15, are believed to be married, pregnant and living in the Islamic State-controlled city of Raqqa in northern Syria, Central European News reports.
Dubbed by Austrian media as the poster girls for jihad, the young friends now believe their lives have been turned upside down by their new lifestyles. (more…)

In what will probably be known as the worst PR move since the insufferable Ferguson protests began – last night the mob descended upon another Saint Louis neighborhood to reflect their contempt for the U.S.A.  (Picture library here)

A vigil for Vonderitt Myers Jr., turned into a night of protest and marching on Thursday, Oct. 9, 2014. Protesters broke a window at the Medicine Shoppe burned several American flags after taking one from the Beauvais Manor nursing home and threw at least one brick through the window of a home along Flora Avenue.

It Appears “Occupy Saint Louis” Begins Tonight – Discuss

As with prior “Occupy” activities the DOJ/CRS has “agents” embedded within the agitators to record, document, photograph and identify the provocateurs to federal authorities  –   […] Grande H. Lum, the director of the Justice Department’s Community Relations Service, which has had from 2-8 conflict resolution mediators working behind the scenes in Ferguson since Aug. 10, would not speculate if the new shooting meant his people would remain in the St. Louis area longer than anticipated.
“We are well aware of that (shooting),” he said in an interview. “We have staff on the ground that are assessing the situation.”
Citing secrecy laws embedded in the 1964 Civil Rights act that created his office, Lum would not say if his office sent more mediators to the city after the new shooting. He said CRS mediators would remain in the St. Louis area “as long as it is needed.” (link)


UPDATE: The attorney for a police officer involved in a fatal shooting Wednesday night told the Post-Dispatch that his client is lucky to be alive because he hesitated too long before firing at an 18-year-old who pointed a gun at him. (more…)

CALIFORNIA – A 72-year-old woman who was stabbed in South Berkeley in September has died after nearly three weeks in medical care, according to authorities. Nancy Jo McClellan of Emeryville died Wednesday at approximately 2:30 a.m., said Berkeley Police Capt. Andrew Greenwood.
[…]  Police will now seek murder charges against Kamau Berlin, the 18-year-old Richmond man authorities say was responsible for McClellan’s death. It is the second homicide in Berkeley this year.

Mom says 18-year-old baby Vonderrit was eating a sandwich and contemplating which college classes would be better – considering his recently edited white paper on Gravitational Inconsistencies as applied to Quantum theory. 
A local politician, Senator Nasheed, says the police walked up to Vonderrit while he was kneeling down in prayer and shot him in the back of the head.  
There appears to be a disconnect in here somewhere;  somewhere between reality and a new flat screen TV...
ST. LOUIS • An autopsy has shown that Vonderrit Myers Jr. was shot from five to seven times during a fatal encounter with an off-duty police officer Wednesday, police sources said.
Sen. Jamilah Nasheed suggested at a press conference earlier today that the teen had been shot in the back of the head, but medical examiners did not find any gunshots to the back of Myers’ head, police sources said.
There were seven wounds to the teen’s body, five of which are clearly bullet holes. Investigators still are trying to determine if the other wounds are exit wounds, sources said. (read more)
Here’s a brief backstory on Vonderrit Myers -and- Here is the official police account of the shooting: (more…)

EV-D68 More Dangerous Than Ebola

PHILADELPHIA – Infectious diseases caregivers and public health professionals are gathered in Philadelphia through the weekend for the annual meeting of the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA), more commonly known as IDWeek 2014. (You can also follow attendees in real-time on Twitter at the hashtag, #IDweek.)
The Society organized the press conference because of the very timely news about Ebola here, Europe, and West Africa, as well as children with respiratory disease caused by enterovirus D68.
The vast majority of today’s panel discussion focused on enterovirus D68, or EV-D68 for short, a virus that’s causing particularly severe respiratory illness in children nationwide. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported yesterday that EV-D68 infections have been confirmed in 45 states. Five children with the virus have died thus far and some children, especially in the Denver area, are experiencing muscle paralysis.
[…] The virus was first discovered in 1962 but not seen again in the U.S. for 36 years. Over 100 types of enterovirus are known, but they are distinct from polioviruses, stressed Aaron M. Milstone, MD, an assistant professor of infectious diseases at the Johns Hopkins Children’s Center.
In the current outbreak, Jackson said that EV-D68 is primarily affecting children. No cases have been identified in adults, suggesting that some previous exposure to EV-D68 conferred immunity to the currently-circulating virus. (more…)

Last night another black 18-year-old male was shot by an off-duty white Police Officer working a security job.

The Ferguson mob quickly ran to Saint Louis in an attempt to use the opportunity and drum up another racial incident of an innocent black child shot by racist white cop. Toward that end they were selling the story of a black child armed only with a sandwich.

Teyonna Myers, 23, of Florissant, said Myers was her cousin.
“He was unarmed,” Teyonna Myers said. “He had a sandwich in his hand, and they thought it was a gun. It’s like Michael Brown all over again.”

And that’s how the nonsense starts with this crowd.   They immediately used the useful rumors to attack police cars, spit on the police, throw bricks and bottles, smash windows and cause general chaos.  It’s apparently all the perpetually aggrieved know to do….

Moonbattery carried to ridiculous levels….

(Via NRO) A Nebraska school district has instructed its teachers to stop referring to students by “gendered expressions” such as “boys and girls,” and use “gender inclusive” ones such as “purple penguins” instead.
“Don’t use phrases such as ‘boys and girls,’ ‘you guys,’ ‘ladies and gentlemen,’ and similarly gendered expressions to get kids’ attention,” instructs a training document given to middle-school teachers at the Lincoln Public Schools.
“Create classroom names and then ask all of the ‘purple penguins’ to meet on the rug,” it advises.
The document also warns against asking students to “line up as boys or girls,” and suggests asking them to line up by whether they prefer “skateboards or bikes/milk or juice/dogs or cats/summer or winter/talking or listening.” (more…)
