🚨JUST IN: The Michigan man charged with manslaughter for fatally shooting one of the “teens” he caught breaking into his garage has been bound over for trial This is INSANE... his property had been broken into twice before this incident, and police IGNORED HIM AND TOLD HIM TO GET BETTER SECURITY Now Judge Kelly Kostin said Dayton Knapton, 24, put himself in the situation despite prior break-ins at his property She said his self-defense argument “becomes more difficult” after reviewing security video Knapton is charged with manslaughter, assault with intent to murder, and weapons offenses after a shooting that killed a 17-year-old and injured another Police say he saw several people entering his garage on camera, went outside, and opened fire as they were leaving The garage had been broken into at least twice before, and Knapton had been told after the second break-in to “beef up” his security

Remember the 12 year old girl in Scotland who was strongly criticised for holding an axe and knife and threatening a man? Well the case is being tried in the courts right now. It seems that the Bulgarian man, Ilia Belov said to the 12 year old “Come here sexy. I will show you how to have a good time”. It seems that Belov had also been hassling the girl’s 12-14 year old friends while they waited at a bus stop. When they answered back he assaulted them The incident was recorded on CCTV and clearly shows Belov attacking the girl and pushing her to the ground. The case continues. It will be interesting to see what sentence (if any) he receives. More posted in the thread in the next day or so.

Most Americans who call themselves Irish aren’t talking about the same thing as the famine Irish of Boston and New York. A huge number are really Scots-Irish — English and Scottish border stock, Protestant frontier people whose ancestors came out of the borderlands, were planted in Ulster, then pushed into Appalachia, Tennessee, Kentucky and the South. Not Dublin. Not Cork. Not the tenements. A harder, older story of border clans, rifles, honour, feuds, distrust of authority and life on the edge of empire. The green beer version of Irish-American identity hides a lot. For millions, the real roots are English, Scottish, Ulster, frontier, Presbyterian, hill country and rebellion. Different people. Different history. Different temperament. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇧
