The Supreme Court of Appeals found Oscar Pistorius guilty of murder and he was sentenced to thirteen years and five months in prison. The judge said that it should have been fifteen years but the time he’d already served was taken into account. This already is a farce for he had only served 10 months in prison, the rest of the time he spent in his millionaire uncle’s house in luxury after being put under house arrest.

The judge said he did not show enough genuine remorse.

This is after Pistorius, a former paralympian, was earlier acquitted on a charge of murder and found guilty on a lesser charge of culpable homicide. The state was not happy with the six year sentence handed out to Pistorius after he killed his girlfriend and so they went to the Appeal Court.

The girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp, planned to leave him and he subsequently killed her by firing four shots through the bathroom door, claiming that he thought that she was a burglar.

One can only have sympathy with Reeva’s parents. Although some token of justice was attained, it cannot bring her back.

And the other big news from Southern Africa is a new President for Zimbabwe. Methinks our neighbors to the north are rejoicing too quickly for Emmerson Mnangagwa is certainly no angel and with his strong ties to the military, he was probably the mastermind behind the plot that ousted Robert Mugabe. I cannot believe for one moment that ZANU-PF will be keen to relinquish power in a fair election. They only replaced one terror with another.

I think that we can look forward to another rigged election.

The warrants were approved by Trump's own Department of Justice, not Mueller.

However, if NY finds anything relevant to Muller's case against Trump, it will be turned over and used by Mueller as evidence.

Near the end of that NY Times article about Cohen, Trump's attorney;

A Long Island native, Mr. Cohen began his career as a personal injury lawyer and taxi fleet manager. He joined the Trump Organization in 2006. He attracted attention in the Russia investigation after emails showed that a business associate of Mr. Trump, Felix Sater, pitched Mr. Cohen on a lucrative real estate deal in Russia.
The deal was supposed to be a Trump Tower in Moscow, and Mr. Sater boasted to Mr. Cohen that the tower would get Mr. Trump elected president. “Our boy can become president of the USA and we can engineer it,” Mr. Sater wrote. “I will get all of Putin’s team to buy in on this, I will manage this process.”

Earlier in the article;

The searches open a new front for the Justice Department in its scrutiny of Mr. Trump and his associates: His longtime lawyer is being investigated in Manhattan; his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, is facing scrutiny by prosecutors in Brooklyn; his campaign chairman is under indictment; his former national security adviser has pleaded guilty to lying; and a pair of former campaign aides are cooperating with Mr. Mueller. Mr. Mueller, meanwhile, wants to interview Mr. Trump about possible obstruction of justice.

All in all, just some other bricks in the wall.....Trump's impending prison wall.

Here's the link to the NY Times article;

A van driver accused of killing 10 people in Toronto posted to Facebook minutes before the attack to praise killer Elliot Rodger and refer to the misogynistic "incel" Reddit group.
Alek Minassian, 25, was charged on Tuesday with 10 counts of murder and 13 counts of attempted murder.
Police say he appeared to intentionally strike pedestrians after mounting a busy pavement in a rental van.
He was arrested several blocks away after a tense standoff with police.

My question is if you was armed with a gun and came face to face with this driver at the end of this incident,would you shoot to Kill, Injure or try to convince him to surrender ?

Lot of rain in my Dominican Republic!
Greetings from here to all!

...Police, Law And Legal System"

For some time there has been reports that Sweden is in decline due to pressures put upon its societal and economic institutions by the influx of immigrants.

Until recently, these reports have come largely from individuals reporting/opining on venues such as YouTube.

Recent reports from Swedish officials now appear to be saying much the same thing.
This from Stockholm's Chief Of Police...

YouTube The Collapse of Swedish Police, Law and Legal System

More evidence that the situation is deteriorating, perhaps more quickly than even YouTube opiners predicted...

YouTube NORWAY: WE'RE READY TO ABANDON INTERNATIONAL LAW

Basically, the Norwegian PM has announced that country will not abide by Geneva Convention provisions for taking in refugees, and will close and enforce its border with Sweden in the event of its collapse.

Individuals opining via YouTube vids are one thing.
Official actions being announced by a head of state are quite another.
'Actions speaking louder than words', as the saying goes.

This is as heartbreaking as it is surprising.
Sweden has long been thought of as one of the better and more progressive societies in which to live.
That it now appears confronted with a situation which may lead to its collapse is something that would've been well nigh unimaginable not so very long ago.

Heartbreaking.
