A crazed man randomly ambushed and shot a female Philadelphia cop sitting in her squad car, then killed a woman and injured four others while he led police on a shootout on Friday night.

The shooter began his attack at 11:30 p.m., when he walked up to Sqt. Sylvia Young sitting in her squad car and abruptly started firing into her open window 15 times, hitting her eight times in the arm and chest.  The police veteran of 19 years who has two adult daughters miraculously survived thanks to her wearing a protective vest.

Officer Sylvia Young survived being shot eight times due to wearing a protective vest.

The man then ran away and began firing into a nearby bar, where he struck a security guard in the leg.

As police arrived on the scene, the man grabbed a woman and used her as a human shield before shooting her in the leg and running away again.

The man then shot into a parked car, shooting the woman inside of it seven times and killing her.  A man inside the car was shot but survived.

Three cops eventually cornered the shooter in an alley in a shootout and killed him, with one of the cops, a 56 year old retired police sergeant who now works as a University of Pennsylvania campus officer being shot during the battle.

All three wounded civilians were listed in stable condition on Saturday afternoon.

Officers found a “rambling” hate-filled letter at the scene that was allegedly written by the gunman, which contained anti-police rhetoric and named a parole officer as a target.

The shooter has a lengthy criminal record which consisted of drug possession convictions and being arrested and charged in connection with a gang-related rape in November of 2009, where a woman alleged that she was raped by a group of men who attacked her while she got food.

Detectives are investigating whether Glenn was linked to or inspired by outside groups or accomplices.

In January, a gunman in Philadelphia ambushed a police officer sitting in his patrol car in a similar manner, with it being found out that the shooter pledged allegiance to ISIS.

Eight people were stabbed in a mall in St. Cloud, Minnesota by a man wearing a private security uniform and referencing Allah.  The attacker was shot by an off-duty police officer who was carrying a concealed weapon.  The attacker only had a knife and none of the victims had life threatening injuries.  The attack happened at the same time as an explosion in lower Manhattan, however there is no indication of any connection.

A 19-year-old French girl was lured online to a park near the Eiffel Tower, then bound and gagged and raped by three Algerian migrants.

The girl responded to messages of who she thought was a 17 year old Tunisian boy who she initially met at a park close to her home in the Paris suburbs, then she turned up for another date to have a picnic with him when she was attacked.

She was dragged under a bush where a blanket was laid out and then raped by three men who then gagged her, beat her up, and tied her up.

She was found by a couple who were jogging early Monday morning when they heard her making muffled sobbing noises, finding her in deep shock, naked and crying.

Police then used computer data to trace the three men to a hotel in Paris as they were making preparations to leave for Germany.  None of them had official papers, they all claimed to be 17 years old and from Tunisia, and they were seeking asylum, however checks suggested that they a lot older and from Algeria.

The men deny raping the girl, saying it was a “consensual adult relationship” with her.

The leftist mayor of Paris Anne Hidalgo announced last week that the city will be opening its first official migrant camp next month, which will have a capacity for 800 beds, kitchens, showers, Wi-fi, a health center with nurses, and a football field.  Most of its residents will be young males.

An bomb detonated in New York City’s Chelsea neighborhood at 8:30 pm on Saturday, injuring 29 people.  The bomb was located in or near a dumpster, and another suspicious device was also found a few blocks away.

A pipe bomb exploded in a garbage can Saturday morning in a New Jersey beach town of Seaside Park, with the explosion timed to harm participants in a Marine Corps charity run.  Three pipe bomb devices were wired together and set to detonate with a timer, but only one detonated.  The timing of the explosion was set to coincide with the start of the race, but registration problems at the starting line caused the race to be delayed for a few minutes, resulting in nobody being near the bomb when it detonated.

A pregnant 14-year-old was tortured and set on fire by her in-laws because her father eloped with a woman from their family.   She died in a Kabul burn hospital the next week in July 2016.

The killing was an act of revenge after the man had run away with a young cousin of his daughter’s husband when the family agreed to sell her for more money.

The grieving father visited Afghanistan’s capitol in a quest for justice for the killing, rallying with members of his family and women’s rights activists, but he said he had little hope for justice.

Women’s rights activist Veeda Saghari explains that violence against women is ignored in Afghanistan: “.. violence against women such as acid throwing, beating, stoning, informal community tribunal verdicts, burning, forced divorces, forced marriages, forced pregnancies, and forced abortions have reached a peak.”

Yusuf Islam, the folk singer formerly known as Cat Stevens, who wrote such popular songs as “Peace Train” and “Morning has Broken” is well known for rejecting all aspects of his secular life including his famous songs and becoming a devout Muslim in the late 1970’s, even going as far as publicly supporting the worldwide death fatwa against the author Salomon Rudshi in 1989.  More recently, Yusuf has been starting to play his pre-Islamic songs once again while also remaining a devout Muslim.

This is a video of Yusuf reading a well known but unfortunately illegitimate writing known as “Muhammad’s Last Sermon,” which is purported to be a speech that Muhammad gave to a large group of his followers at the end of his life where he spread messages of peace and goodwill toward all peoples.  The writing is not actually accepted by authoritative Muslim scholars but many “look the other way” due to its potential value as a recruitment tool and for influencing the general public’s opinions of Islam.

See this article explaining the writing’s likely origins as the work of an anonymous Imam in India who wanted to “enhance Islam” by forging the document.

Germany’s Finance Minister Markus Söder has called for refugees be sent home over the next three years, saying that Germany does not want a multicultural society and it is impossible to integrate people from such different cultural backgrounds.

He said, “Even with the best intentions in the world, it will not work to integrate successfully that many people with a completely different cultural background,” adding that many asylum seekers pose a security threat.

He also said that many parts of Iraq and Afghanistan are currently recognized as safe, and mentioned that the war in Syria will end sometime soon, also saying “According to legislation, people have to return home when the reason for fleeing is no longer valid.”

Earlier this year he criticized Angela Merkel for allowing so many refugees to enter Germany, saying “It is a big mistake to open the borders without any checks.”  Over one million people have arrived in Germany over the past year.

Hempcrete is a building material which is similar to concrete made out of hemp stalks and lime, however it is much stronger, lighter, more versatile, and it is environmentally friendly.

Following are points from this Collective Evolution article: 

— Hempcrete can be used for wall insulation, floors, walls, roofing and more.  It is very strong, lightweight, fire-proof, rot-proof, and water-proof as long as it is above ground.

— Hempcrete is made from shredded stems of hemp plants and mixed with lime in a manner similar to cement.

— Solid hempcrete walls can be used rather than traditional walls filled with insulation.  The material is breathable and it absorbs moisture from the outside which it releases again once the air is drier.

— The lime and cellulose mixture of Hempcrete slowly petrifies over time, continually becoming stronger, theoretically lasting for thousands of years.

— Hemp is an excellent sustainable building material due to it growing to maturity in 14 weeks.  It also requires no fertilizer, weed killer, or pesticides to grow.

— Hemps seeds are also a very nutritious “super food” rich in vitamins and nutrients.

— Hempcrete has a “negative carbon footprint” due to hemp plants absorbing CO2 as they grow, but despite this fact, the political establishment which claims to think that global warming is a big problem is not embracing and espousing hempcrete technology for widespread utilization.  This is because either they are exaggerating claims about climate change or because they are concerned with keeping their systems in society the way that they have them.
