The clerk refused to serve the man, who walked outside with the chips without paying.<\/p>\n<p>The clerk followed him and started recording him with his cellphone camera. The customer became upset, advanced toward the clerk and \u201ca struggle quickly ensued\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOnce the physical fight was broken up\u201d, the clerk pulled a handgun from his pocket and fired three times at the victim, striking him once in the shoulder, the report said.<\/p>\n<p>The victim ran to a tire store and was picked up by his ex-girlfriend in a van. The clerk made a call on his cellphone and argued with someone on the line. Moments later he fired one round to the right side of his head, police said.<\/p>\n<p>A police officer wrote in the report that when he arrived, the man was still holding the handgun and cellphone, lying on his back with no pulse and blood coming from his head.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Source; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/us-news\/2022\/feb\/18\/las-vegas-store-clerk-killed-self-shot-customer-no-mask-police-covid\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Guardian<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Wanted Florida man caught after passing out drunk in McDonald\u2019s drive-thru, deputies say<\/h3>\n<blockquote><p>A wanted Florida man was caught Friday after he passed out drunk in the drive-thru line at a McDonald\u2019s and caused a backup of cars, authorities said.<\/p>\n<p>Luis Salinas, 35, had a warrant out for his arrest in connection to the sexual battery of a child, the Highlands County Sheriff\u2019s Office said in a Facebook post.<\/p>\n<p>Deputies said that &#8220;it was quite a pleasant surprise&#8221; when they discovered it was Salinas who was &#8220;conked out and blocking people from their Big Macs at the Avon Park Mickey D\u2019s.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"inline image-ct\">\n<div class=\"m\"><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxbusiness.com\/foxbusiness.com\/content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/343\/192\/luis-salinas-mug.jpg?ve=1&amp;tl=1, https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxbusiness.com\/foxbusiness.com\/content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/686\/384\/luis-salinas-mug.jpg?ve=1&amp;tl=1 2x\" media=\"(max-width: 767px)\" \/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxbusiness.com\/foxbusiness.com\/content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/672\/378\/luis-salinas-mug.jpg?ve=1&amp;tl=1, https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxbusiness.com\/foxbusiness.com\/content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/1344\/756\/luis-salinas-mug.jpg?ve=1&amp;tl=1 2x\" media=\"(min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 1023px)\" \/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxbusiness.com\/foxbusiness.com\/content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/931\/523\/luis-salinas-mug.jpg?ve=1&amp;tl=1, https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxbusiness.com\/foxbusiness.com\/content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/1862\/1046\/luis-salinas-mug.jpg?ve=1&amp;tl=1 2x\" media=\"(min-width: 1024px) and (max-width: 1279px)\" \/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxbusiness.com\/foxbusiness.com\/content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/720\/405\/luis-salinas-mug.jpg?ve=1&amp;tl=1, https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxbusiness.com\/foxbusiness.com\/content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/1440\/810\/luis-salinas-mug.jpg?ve=1&amp;tl=1 2x\" media=\"(min-width: 1280px)\" \/><\/picture><\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Despite the other patrons yelling at Salinas, he stayed asleep until deputies opened his door and allegedly attacked them.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Unlike his victim, our deputies can fight back,&#8221; the sheriff\u2019s statement read.<\/p>\n<p>During the scuffle, Salinas &#8220;slightly injured&#8221; one deputy before he was taken into custody, according to authorities.<\/p>\n<p>Salinas, who deputies said had a blood alcohol level of .179, was booked into jail on the felony warrant and additional charges of battery on a law enforcement officer, DUI, driving with a suspended license, and resisting arrest.<\/p>\n<p>Following the arrest of Salinas, deputies had a message for those being sought by law enforcement.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Pro tip: If you have a warrant &#8211; especially for charge that can get you a life sentence &#8211; you probably should not drink and drive,&#8221; the sheriff\u2019s office said. &#8220;You definitely should not drink and drive and pass out in the drive-thru lane at McDonald\u2019s.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Source; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxbusiness.com\/lifestyle\/wanted-florida-man-arrested-passing-out-drunk-mcdonalds-drive-thru-deputies\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fox Business<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>4-year-old fires gun at officers during Midvale shooting incident<\/h3>\n<blockquote><p>Police said a 4-year-old child fired a gun at officers on the order of their father during an incident Monday at a McDonald&#8217;s in Midvale [Utah].<\/p>\n<p>According to the Unified Police Department, the incident occurred at 425 West 7200 South.

The ABC Board regulates liquor trade in the state.<\/p>\n<p>Charges are pending against the homeowner, said Sheriff Joe Sedinger. The owner was not home when the still was confiscated and has been given the opportunity to turn himself in.<\/p>\n<p>Since the homeowner has not yet been arrested, Sedinger did not release the address of the home. But, perhaps ironically, it&#8217;s about two blocks from the courthouse, where the sheriff&#8217;s office is, and about two blocks from the public safety building, where police headquarters is located.<\/p>\n<p>The still had been on the back porch of the home, and was spotted by a deputy who went to the home to deliver court papers, the sheriff said. It appeared the still had been on the porch for a long time.<\/p>\n<p>It was not operating when it was seized, but a large container of mash was nearby.<\/p>\n<p>The mash would be distilled to make alcohol. There were also several empty, plastic gallon milk jugs nearby, which Sedinger said were probably used to hold the illegal hooch.<\/p>\n<p>Finding stills is not common, even in the sticks.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think we have found three or four stills in all the time I&#8217;ve been with the sheriff&#8217;s office,&#8221; Sedinger said. He&#8217;s been with the office more than 30 years, serving the past eight as sheriff. &#8220;All the other stills we found were out in the county, usually in thick cover where they couldn&#8217;t be found easy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The owner of the house will face a charge of illegal possession of a whiskey making device, Sedinger said. The charge is an unclassified felony, and code section doesn&#8217;t list a punishment range.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Source; <a href=\"https:\/\/news.yahoo.com\/whiskey-still-confiscated-downtown-prattville-202648015.html?guccounter=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Yahoo<\/a>!<\/p>\n<h3>\u2018Public safety officer\u2019 assists in traffic stop \u2013 but he wasn\u2019t a cop, GA police say<\/h3>\n<blockquote><p>Armed with his gun and badge, a Georgia \u201cofficer\u201d stepped in to assist police during a felony traffic stop in metro Atlanta last week.<\/p>\n<p>But the gun was a fake and so were his credentials, according to Cartersville police.<\/p>\n<p>Justin Greene, 29, was arrested in Bartow County on Wednesday, Feb. 23, and charged with impersonating a police officer, authorities said in a news release.

Nathan Sheppard attempted to update the media on the shooting melee in Northeast Portland, two known Antifa militants took over the news conference, commandeered the microphones, and began blaming the police for failing to do their jobs to protect them.<\/p>\n<p>According to Antifa protesters who took over the presser, identified by the Post Millennial as \u201cHailley Nolan and Dustin Ferreira,\u201d the previous night their comrades had gone to confront members of notorious Portland area biker gang the Gypsy Jokers. Police say at least one of the Antifa militants was armed (which they usually are).<\/p>\n<p>Nolan, who appeared to have trouble breathing, said it was the Portland Police Bureau\u2019s fault when a woman died in the shooting melee and five others were wounded.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey are sending Gypsy Jokers to kidnap us,\u201d she breathlessly announced. She pointed to Lt. Sheppard and accused the police of encouraging the violence against Antifa, saying \u201cthey are sanctioning this violence against us. We are dying. We are trying to peacefully protest and they are killing us. And I want to know if any of you care. I want to know if Ted Wheeler cares.\u201d See the video below.<\/p>\n<p>She indicated why they took over the news conference by admitting \u201cwe are not going to let them capture the narrative and lie,\u201d as she pointed to the police.<\/p>\n<p>We can understand why. When you\u2019re Antifa and you pick a fight with a biker gang, Antifa looks pretty dumb.<\/p>\n<p>While the media watched, the Antifa goons chased the lieutenant back to his patrol car and attempted to surround it \u2014 their favorite trick.<\/p>\n<p>I grew up in Portland. Ever since I was a kid I\u2019d heard about the Gypsy Jokers. You. Don\u2019t. Mess. With. The. Gypsy Jokers. Capice? The Portland Gypsy Jokers are reputedly among the most violent, drug dealing, anti-social biker posses this side of the Hells Angels. They\u2019re some bad dudes.\u00a0<em>Worse<\/em>\u00a0than Corn Pop.<\/p>\n<p>Antifa and their BLM wingmen have done nothing but denigrate the Portland Police for the past two to three years, demanding they be defunded because \u201cthey are killing us,\u201d according to the white woman at the presser.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s just step back for a second to observe the irony that Portland Antifa has been at the forefront of calling for defunding police. Portland\u2019s police department has been decimated by the defunding after city commissioners and the mayor took these Antifa dunces\u2019 word that there should be fewer cops. Forced vaccinations took another swath of cops off the job. Portland\u2019s Antifa was part of Gov. Kate Brown\u2019s\u00a0mask and vaccine\u00a0shock troop enforcement as well.<\/p>\n<p>The violent, childish Antifa came up against a notorious, violent biker gang, which, unlike police, will fight back.<\/p>\n<p>Antifa 0, Gypsy Jokers 1.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Source;<a href=\"https:\/\/pjmedia.com\/news-and-politics\/victoria-taft\/2022\/02\/20\/armed-portland-antifa-pick-fight-with-violent-biker-gang-then-blame-police-when-things-get-violent-n1560735\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> PJ Media<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Las Vegas clerk killed self after shooting customer with no mask, police say A convenience store &hellip; <a title=\"Stupid people of the week\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=123268\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Stupid people of the week<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":664,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[209,185,227,603,236],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-123268","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-teh-stoopid","category-crime","category-police","category-stupid-criminals","category-wtf"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/123268","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/664"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=123268"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/123268\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=123268"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=123268"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=123268"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
