Suspects can\u2019t start car after carjacking attempt<\/h3>\n

Police say two men carjacked a driver in the 3600 block of Spottswood on Saturday but left empty-handed because they couldn\u2019t start the vehicle.<\/p>\n

The victim said the armed suspects opened the driver\u2019s side door of his red Ford Escape and told him to get out of the SUV.<\/p>\n

Investigators said the victim ran away, and the suspects fled in a gray Nissan Altima after they failed to start the Escape.<\/p>\n

Police said minutes before the alleged carjacking, the same men in the gray Altima were caught on camera burglarizing another vehicle parked along a street.<\/p>\n

In the video, both suspects are seen holding guns. One of them jumps into a silver convertible and points his weapon toward a nearby residence. It is unclear what he was aiming at.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Pro-Palestine activist tears down Greek flags after mistaking them for Israeli ones<\/h3>\n

A pro-Palestine activist tore down Greek banners from a restaurant after mistaking them for Israeli flags.<\/p>\n

The woman posted a video online of her ripping down the flags outside a gyro in Montclair, New Jersey while yelling: \u201cFree Palestine, b—-.\u201d<\/p>\n

An employee of the restaurant watched her in astonishment from the counter, prompting the woman to shout: \u201cWhat you looking at?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou know damn well there\u2019s a genocide. You know there\u2019s a genocide. I\u2019m taking this s— down.\u201d<\/p>\n

She appeared to be tearing down the flags from the restaurant while holding her phone in her free hand.<\/p>\n

At one point, the video shows her moving a chair up to a wall and putting it down with a clang, apparently to reach flags located above the front of the building.<\/p>\n

According to the New York Post, the incident took place at Efi\u2019s Gyro, which bills itself as \u201cthe friendliest restaurant in town\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t stand for this. There\u2019s genocide. And I don\u2019t stand for Zionism,\u201d the woman, who goes by \u201cAmbamelia\u201d on TikTok, continued.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019re killing children,\u201d she added, as two employees of the restaurant stepped outside to confront her.<\/p>\n

A man who apparently worked for the restaurant then repeatedly explained the flags were Greek.<\/p>\n

\u201cOh I thought it was Israel, my bad,\u201d the woman excused herself.<\/p>\n

Efi Mihalis, the owner of Efi\u2019s Gyro, confirmed that the attack was real but had taken place in March, and accused the woman of destroying her property.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was not a skit as some people believe,\u201d she told The New York Post. \u201cThis was not planned nor was it calculated in any way,\u201d.<\/p>\n

Ms Mihalis added that everyone had been \u201ctaken aback\u201d when the flags were torn down.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

She went full retard. You never go full retard.<\/p>\n

Latin plant names could be racist, warns University of Michigan<\/h3>\n

Using Latin names for plants may be racist, the University of Michigan has warned, in guidance to prevent the influence of colonial \u201cpower structures\u201d on visitors.<\/p>\n

A strategy document for the university\u2019s botanical gardens and arboretum warns against using the traditional combination of an English name and Latin name on plaques next to its plants, amid concerns they could erase \u201cother forms of knowing\u201d.<\/p>\n

The University of Michigan, which has been criticised for its expansive diversity, equality and inclusion (DEI) policies, has spent more than $250 million on inclusivity initiatives since 2016.<\/p>\n

As part of its plan to ensure \u201cfoundational change at every level\u201d, the college has created a series of strategic plans for every aspect of its work, including the Matthaei Botanical Gardens and Nichols Arboretum.<\/p>\n

A \u201cstrategic plan\u201d issued last year, first reported on Wednesday by The New York Times, warned that horticultural bosses were \u201cdeeply enmeshed within interlocking systems of domination\u201d and used \u201clinguistic and representational practices that are, generally, complicit in the continued erasure of non-dominant relationships to \u2018nature\u2019\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u2018Actively erased\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

The document states: \u201cWhen botanical gardens and arboreta display Latin taxa, English \u2018common name\u2019, and perhaps a brief scientific description, what other ways of knowing are not only missing but actively erased?\u201d<\/p>\n

It references an academic article that warns that botany is \u201cdeeply intertwined with the histories of colonialism, racism, and imperialism\u201d.<\/p>\n

Botanical gardens generally display plants with two names, their \u201ccommon name\u201d in English, and a Latin name using the binomial system popularised by Carl Linnaeus, an 18th-century Swedish biologist.<\/p>\n

The college\u2019s strategy document pledges that the arboretum will use its collections \u201cto not simply respond to the complexities of our shifting socio-cultural landscape, but\u2026 to lead cultural institutions with living collections toward more self-critical, just, and equitable futures\u201d.<\/p>\n

However, photographs posted online by the university\u2019s arboretum show that some plants are still displayed with their Latin names, despite the DEI guidance.<\/p>\n

The institution\u2019s website boasts that it is \u201cmore than a collection of plants\u201d but a \u201cforce for social and ecological resilience\u201d.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

They went full retard too.<\/p>\n

\u2018I knew she shouldn\u2019t of had that:\u2019 Woman let diabetic teen die after drinking milkshake<\/h3>\n

A woman was arrested after officials said she neglected to provide a 17-year-old with medical assistance needed for her diabetes.<\/p>\n

In June 2021, the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED) was requested by the Charleston County Coroner\u2019s Office to begin an investigation into the death of a 17-year-old girl.<\/p>\n

The teen, who was diagnosed with Type I diabetes, was in the care of Shirl Lee Sweeney, 50. According to the warrant, there were several canceled and \u2018no-show\u2019 medical appointments after doctors told Sweeney the victim needed to attend her follow-up appointments to maintain her insulin regimen.<\/p>\n

In Sept. 2021, the victim was admitted to the hospital for high blood sugar. Doctors told Sweeney that the victim had no option but to take her insulin. Medical staff told the suspect if the victim experiences vomiting take her to the hospital due to a symptom of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA).<\/p>\n

On Aug. 12. 2022, the victim was seen vomiting by Sweeney but the victim was not taken to the hospital.<\/p>\n

The following day, Sweeney called 911 after finding the victim on the bathroom floor. The warrant says, that while Sweeney was on the phone with dispatch, she could be heard saying \u201cI knew she shouldn\u2019t of had that milkshake.\u201d<\/p>\n

The victim was taken to the hospital where she was pronounced dead.<\/p>\n

According to the warrant, the victim\u2019s blood sugar glucose level was 953 mg\/dL. The victim\u2019s weight dropped from 136 pounds to 98 pounds. Her cause of death was listed as hyperosmolar ketoacidosis due to diabetes mellitus. The manner of death was listed as a homicide.<\/p>\n

The warrant states that the 50-year-old suspect did not take the victim to her appointments for a year.<\/p>\n

The relationship between the suspect and victim was redacted, but the warrant said Sweeney was responsible for the victim\u2019s welfare.<\/p>\n

The warrant states that Sweeney medically neglected the victim and placed her at unreasonable risk of harm, which affected her life, physical health and safety.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, SLED charged Sweeney with unlawful conduct towards a child.<\/p>\n

She was booked into the Charleston County Detention Center.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
