A 14-year-old American white kif was arraigned Friday in Calhoun County District Court, accused of shooting and killing of a 17-year-old Battle Creek Central High School student.

Justice Chimner was charged with the following:

Count 1 - Carjacking of 2006 Lincoln with violence

Count 2 - Felony firearm

Count 3 - Felony open murder

Count 4 - Felony firearm


According to his attorney, Morgan Pattan, Chimner pleaded not guilty and asked for a preliminary trial and the court to issue a cash bond.

Calhoun County Prosecutor David Gilbert asked the court for no bond, and said Chimner has a previous history of stealing and attempting to sell a gun.

“Keep him locked up for the safety of the community," Gilbert asked the magistrate.

After reviewing probable cause documents, Magistrate Amber Straub denied bond to Chimner.

“I do find proof that your guilt is evident, and the presumption is great," Straub said.

17-year-old Jack Snyder, an athlete, son, teammate and friend to many, was finishing out his senior year at Battle Creek Central High School, before he was shot and killed by two younger teenagers. The other teenager involved was 13 years old and is being charged with open murder and carjacking.

It was nearly 12 degrees on Friday, Feb. 17, when Snyder was driving home from his girlfriend's birthday party, according to Battle Creek Police Sergeant Jeff Case.

When Snyder offered a ride to Chimner and the 13-year-old, the two suspects attempted a carjacking. Snyder was shot twice and died, Case said.

Chimner was taken into custody Sunday, Feb. 19, around 2 a.m. when police located him in a car parked in the area of Jackson Street and Bedford Road, according to the Battle Creek Police Department.

Snyder was found face down in the road next to his vehicle around 12:10 a.m.

Emergency personnel attempted to revive Snyder, but police said he died on scene.

The two boys were arrested in connection to the killing, according to police.

The 13-year-old could be charged in a blended sentencing as a juvenile and as an adult, according to a hearing Tuesday.

“The 13-year-old, we expect at our prosecutor's office, to also be pushed to adult court as well," Case said.

The 13-year-old turned himself in to the Battle Creek Police Department with a parent at about 5 p.m. Sunday, police said.

The gun used in the deadly shooting was recovered, according to police.

Snyder's funeral took place Friday in Battle Creek at St. Philips Catholic Church.

DNA evidence used to track down American serial killer in New Jersey woman's 1980 Solano County murder

 


DNA evidence used to track down American serial killer in New Jersey woman's 1980 Solano County murder

DNA evidence used to track down Herman Lee Hobbs for the murder of Holly Ann Campiglia who was already serving a prison for a different murder

By Edward Era Barbacena


Holly Ann Campiglia’s body was dumped in a Solano County cornfield 42 years ago. The young woman’s murder went unsolved for four decades, but her family held out hope that, one day, the killer would be found.

On Friday, Solano County Sheriff’s deputies arrested and booked her suspected killer, 76-year-old Herman Lee Hobbs, into jail on murder charges.

Two field workers in unincorporated Dixon found Campiglia’s body in a cornfield along Sievers Road in August of 1980. A coroner determined she was shot multiple times in the head and neck.

“The victim was initially listed as ‘Jane Doe.’ It was not until 1992, when the Coroner’s Office was contacted by the National Missing Persons Unit, that we learned that the victim was 21-year-old Holly Ann Campiglia,” Sheriff’s Office wrote.

The case went cold until 2021, when her family requested that the Sheriff’s Office review the case and resubmit evidence for a DNA analysis.

The Serological Research Institute used advanced technology and found male DNA on the evidence. When the DNA was submitted into a database with the San Mateo County Crime Lab, it matched Hobbs.

Hobbs was already behind bars serving a prison sentence for a 1975 Sacramento murder. He was convicted in 2005 of murdering 29-year-old Brenda Ann Tucker, whose body was found Yuba County. Like Campiglia, Tucker’s skull had a bullet hole. Hobbs was also convicted in 2000 of raping a 15-year-old girl.

Late last week, an arrest warrant was issued by a Solano County Superior Court Judge to have Hobbs transferred from a state prison to the Solano County Jail to face new charges for the murder of Campiglia.

“Cold cases are particularly difficult cases to work because, sadly, time goes on which leads to gaps in memory. For example, the original deputy to investigate this case was Deputy Jose Cisneros, who was killed in the line-of-duty in 1985,” the Solano County Sheriff’s Office wrote Monday.

“We are grateful to the Campiglia family for their patience and assistance, to the labs whose new technology allowed additional testing of older evidence, and to the staff who worked tirelessly to help bring closure to a lifetime of waiting,” the Sheriff’s Office wrote.






2 Filipino NAIA workers got terminated for stealing from Thai tourist

 


2 Filipino NAIA workers got terminated for stealing from Thai tourist

By Edward Era Barbacena



Two Filipino  personnel from the Office of Transportation Security (OTS) are facing criminal complaints after they were caught on camera stealing cash from a Thai tourist while conducting routine inspection at Ninoy Aquino International Airport (Naia) Terminal 2 in Pasay City.

The OTS received a report of extortion based on the videos posted on Facebook by Piyawat Gunlayaprasit on Feb. 22, in which his companion Kitja Thabthim, another Thai national, was requesting an OTS security screening officer to return the money taken from him amounting to 20,000 yen (around P8,000).

The OTS did not disclose the identities of the two lady OTS officers involved, but said they were already relieved from their posts and placed under preventive suspension.

“They shall not only be dismissed from the service but shall also be put behind bars for their criminal acts that tarnish the reputation and integrity not only of OTS but the entire country in general,” it said in a statement on Monday.

According to the OTS, it is already preparing to file administrative cases against the two personnel, which may lead to their dismissal. It is also working with the Thai nationals in pursuing airtight criminal cases against them.

Based on Gunlayaprasit’s post, their baggage had just passed through the X-ray machines operated by OTS personnel when Thabthim screamed that the money in his wallet placed in a plastic tray for scanning had disappeared.

He posted a video showing one of the OTS personnel stealthily putting the missing cash in the pocket of another OTS personnel.

When they approached the OTS personnel to help them find the missing money, they brushed them aside, saying there were no closed-circuit television cameras to check.

But when Thabthim told them that he recorded what happened, an OTS personnel approached Thabthim and handed him the missing 20,000 yen. The OTS personnel also held the Thai nationals in a separate area where they were told to delete the video of the incident. They were only allowed to leave after showing that they deleted the videos, which however, they were able to recover later.

“At that moment, I couldn’t do anything either, there was no security guard, no police, as if it were a movement. I could only take a clip and shout loudly,” wrote the Thai national on a social media post.

The OTS said these “corrupt and illegal acts shall not be tolerated to send a strong message that we are serious in cleansing our ranks.”

Meanwhile, Sen. Grace Poe on Monday directed the Manila International Airport Authority to submit a report on the stealing incident at Naia.

Poe, the chair of the Senate public services committee, said there might have been similar incidents in the past that were not officially brought to the attention of airport authorities.

She said one of her staffers actually had a similar experience two months ago when she lost her digital watch at the baggage inspection counter of Naia Terminal 2.

“The security personnel who are tasked to protect us are the same ones who are doing these shenanigans,” Poe told reporters.

“When I saw the video, it was really infuriating and embarrassing. This again adds to the problems in the reputation of Naia and our airports,” she added.

By Edward Era Barbacena


A Colorado Springs jury has found white American Dane Kallungi guilty of murdering his ex-wife, Jepsy Amaga, who disappeared in 2019.

Kallungi was found guilty Tuesday of first-degree murder and tampering with a deceased human body. For the crime of first-degree murder, Kallungi was sentenced to life in prison without parole. The second crime carries a sentence of 10 years to be served concurrently with the life sentence.

Amaga's body has never been found and Kallungi was arrested in the summer of 2021 for her murder.

The trial started two weeks ago on Feb. 7.

According to Dane Kallungi's arrest records, he allegedly confessed to his ex-wife that he strangled Jepsy and buried her near Florrisant. After going to the police, his ex-wife and investigators worked together to record Dane's confession.

Kallungi's defense team claimed he was pressured into falsely confessing that he murdered his wife.

American Man of Florida Sentenced to Death for Torturing and Murdering Two Gay Men

 


American Man of Florida Sentenced to Death for Torturing and Murdering Two Gay Men

In 2003, Steven Lorenzo lured Jason Galenhouse and Michael Wachholtz in a house in Tampa, FA where he tortured, murdered and dismembered them

By Edward Era Barbacena


In 2003, two gay men Jason Galenhouse and Michael Wachholtz were lured to a home in Tampa, Florida, where they were tortured and killed. On Wednesday, justice was finally served as Steven Lorenzo, who admitted to the crimes, was sentenced to death. Judge Christopher Sabella delivered the sentence after Lorenzo pleaded guilty to two counts of murder and requested the death penalty.

Lorenzo committed the heinous crimes alongside Scott Schweickert, who pleaded guilty to two counts of first-degree murder in 2016. During testimony, Schweickert detailed the horrific murders, saying that he and Lorenzo had planned to lure unsuspecting gay men from a local bar and kill them. After killing one of the victims, the pair dismembered the body and stuffed it into construction bags, which were taken to random locations in Tampa. The remains of one victim have yet to be found at the time of reporting.

The actions of Lorenzo and Schweickert were described by Hillsborough state attorney Susan Lopez as the “very definition of cold, calculated, and premeditated.” The victims’ families, who have waited for nearly two decades for justice, were relieved at the verdict. Jason Galehouse’s mother, Pam Williams, called Lorenzo “the scumbag of the Earth” and berated him for feeling “no remorse” for his crimes. Ruth Wachholtz, Michael’s mother, agreed that the death penalty was appropriate, saying, “What he did to my son before murdering him should be done to him, eye for an eye.”

The case highlights the importance of prosecuting hate crimes and ensuring that perpetrators are held accountable for their actions. The sentencing of Steven Lorenzo for the torture and murder of two gay men sends a clear message that hate crimes will not be tolerated and that justice will be served.

American respiratory therapist of Missouri indicted for murdering patients


 

American respiratory therapist of Missouri  indicted for murdering patients 

Jennifer Hall, a respiratory therapist, has again been charged with first-degree murder.

By Edward Era Barbacena



Former respiratory therapist Jennifer Hall, who has already been charged after being accused of intentionally killing a patient, is facing an additional murder charge.

Court records indicate that a first-degree murder charge was filed in Livingston County, Missouri, on Wednesday, Feb. 22.

Records also indicate the alleged murder happened in 2002, more than two decades ago.

KCTV5 News has reached out to the office of the Livingston County prosecuting attorney, asking for further details about the case that are not publicly available at this hour

Hall is set to have an initial court appearance on March 1 in connection with this newest charge.

If you remember Jennifer Hall, she started appearing in our headlines in May of 2022. At that time, she was charged with first-degree murder in connection with a different 2002 homicide.

As we have previously reported, Hall worked at Hedrick Medical Center from Dec. 2001 - May 2002. The hospital is in Chillicothe, which is within Livingston County.

During her employment, the rate of cardiac collapse incidents “rose alarmingly,” a probable cause document stated. Investigators said 18 such incidents were recorded during her time at the hospital. Previously, the hospital had an average of one incident per year

The court document stated that, of those 18 instances of cardiac collapse, nine people died.

A warrant was issued for Hall’s arrest after that charge was filed and she was arrested at an extended stay hotel in Overland Park, Kansas. She then awaited extradition to Livingston County.

Hall pleaded not guilty to the first-degree murder charge that was filed in 2022

Kelsey Turner will serve at least 10 years in jail after being found guilty of the second degree murder of 71-year-old Thomas Burchard, whose decomposing body was found in the boot of a car

By Edward Era Barbacena



 A tearful former model was sentenced to between 10 to 25 years in prison for her role in the 2019 killing of a California psychiatrist.

Kelsey Turner, a former Maxim and Playboy model, had accepted a plea deal in Nov. 2022 after prosecutors argued that she and her boyfriend, Jon Kennison, were responsible for the death of 71-year-old Thomas Burchard.

Burchard’s body was found in the trunk of the abandoned car, near Lake Mead, in March 2019.

Turner’s sentence on the second-degree murder charge was the result of a plea deal with the state that guaranteed she would be eligible for parole in 10 years if she accepted an Alford plea, according to court documents.

The plea allowed Turner, 29, to not plead guilty but to acknowledge that the state had enough evidence to prove she was guilty.

Prosecutors said Burchard tried to cut off the relationship, at which point Turner alleged that Burchard had pornographic photos of minors on his phone. Her then-boyfriend, Jon Kennison, 29, was accused of beating Burchard to death and hiding his body in the car’s trunk. 

“She was content to leave someone she knew for a number of years, who supported her and her child financially for a number of years, to rot in the back of the car in the desert that he paid for,” Clark County Chief Deputy District Attorney, Pamela Weckerly, said while addressing the court.

Weckerly also told the court that accusations of child pornography turned out to be false.

The victim’s longtime girlfriend, Judy Earp, was given the opportunity to address the court one last time, despite the defense’s attempt to block it through a filed objection.

“My whole world was viciously ripped from me,” said Earp, who previously told Nexstar’s KLAS that Turner stole upwards of $300,000 from Burchard after he attempted to cut her off.

“She printed on her home computer checks with Tom’s name and account number and her address. She also went online and made many charges paying her bills,” Earp told the court. “His last words to me were, ‘She’s such a pervasive liar that I had to see for myself.’”

Earp declined to speak to media after her court appearance. But inside court, she indicated that she feared that Turner could retaliate when she’s released. She also said Turner threatened to kill her, via a text exchange, in the past.

“I never realized such evil existed in this world until this happened,” Earp said. “I do not want to spend the rest of my life constantly worrying and always looking over my shoulder, if or when she is granted parole.”

Kennison was sentenced in July to between 18 and 45 years for his role in the murder. A roommate of the couple, Diana Nicole Pena, also pleaded guilty to being an accessory to murder and provided prosecutors with critical evidence.









Husband of woman found dismembered in Paris park charged with murder

 


Husband of woman found dismembered in Paris park charged with murder

A man who has admitted to killing his wife whose dismembered remains were found in a Paris park was charged Saturday with spousal murder, his lawyer and prosecutors said.

By Edward Era Barbacena


The man from Montreuil, just east of central Paris, denied having wanted her dead, his lawyer Dominique Beyreuther-Minkov told reporters. Detained by police since Thursday morning, the man reported his wife to police as missing on February 3, the lawyer said.

He had been posting about her disappearance on social media since January 31.

French news channel BFMTV reported last week that police were suspicious about inconsistencies in the husband’s story.

On February 13, park workers discovered a plastic bag containing her lower torso and thighs in the Buttes-Chaumont park in northeast Paris, a popular spot for picnicking families and joggers.

Further remains including the woman’s head were found in a search the following day, and later identified using fingerprints.

Police had opened a probe for murder, tampering with a corpse and concealing a corpse on February 17.

But in light of the man’s statements, investigators in the case have re-evaluated and believe the act was not premeditated.

“My client, who is distraught, has humanly explained as much as he could,” Beyreuther-Minkov said, adding the couple were married for 26 years and had three children.

“All the family is in shock and in a complete state of bewilderment,” Antoine Ory, lawyer for the victim’s family and children, told AFP.

The number of femicides in France increased by 20 percent in 2021 compared to the previous year, with 122 women killed by a spouse or ex-spouse, according to interior ministry figures.

The Illinois State Police Division of Criminal Investigation announced today that 19-year-old white American Jerome Schmidt of Springfield has been convicted of first-degree murder.

At approximately 3 a.m. on Tues., Jan. 26, 2021, the Piatt County Sheriff’s Department responded to Michael J. Brown’s home in Hammond.

ISP investigated three suspects, including Schmidt, who were identified and eventually taken into custody.

Schmidt’s half-brother, Blayton Cote, is still waiting for a trial date. The third suspect, a juvenile, struck a plea deal and was convicted for burglary.

A bench trial began on Jan. 9, 2023, the Piatt County State’s Attorney’s Office and Schmidt’s defense team presented their cases. Piatt County Judge Dana Rhoads found Schmidt guilty of first-degree murder on Jan. 17.

Piatt County State’s Attorney Sarah Perry said she was happy with the judge’s decision.”

State police did a great job and I think it was the right verdict,” Perry said. “She definitely considered all of the law and the facts and came to the right ruling.”

ISP said Schmidt will return to court for a sentencing hearing on Feb. 23.










Former Kentucky American student Sophia Rosing indicted by grand jury after racist assault captured on viral video


Former Kentucky American student Sophia Rosing indicted by grand jury after racist assault captured on viral video

By Edward Era Barbacena


An ex-University of Kentucky white female  student captured on viral video attacking a black student while firing off racist slurs was indicted by a grand jury Tuesday.

Sophia Rosing, 22, was indicted by a Fayette County grand jury on all six charges she initially faced — including assault and felony assault of a police officer, the Lexington Herald Leader reported.

Rosing, a white American student, allegedly kicked, punched and bit 19-year-old student worker Kylah Spring while repeatedly calling her the n-word in a drunken escapade at a campus residence hall on Nov. 6. The late-night assault was captured on video and posted online.

The student continued her appalling behavior when police arrived and placed her in handcuffs. She allegedly kicked and bit the arresting officer in her drunken stupor.

The University of Kentucky permanently banned Rosing from campus following the racist attack.

She was indicted on one count of third-degree assault of a police officer, three counts of fourth-degree assault, one count of second-degree disorderly conduct and one count of alcohol intoxication.

Rosing is due back in court on March 17 for her arraignment.

Disabled woman dies of stroke in cop car after begging for help

 


Disabled woman dies of stroke in cop car after begging for help

Wheelchair-bound Lisa Edwards, 60, pleads with cops while being arrested for refusing to leave hospital. Police ignored her

By Edward Era Barbacena 



Horrific footage released by police shows a wheelchair-bound woman slurring and pleading with police as she is arrested for refusing to leave hospital, just moments before she died from a stroke in the back of a cop car.

It is hard to believe that many of the American cops particularly the white ones can't tell if an individual is suffering from a certain medical condition during arrest. No wonder many have died in their filthy white hands due to a particular medical condition.  These American police should be trained for such situations so they can be aware to avoid deaths.

Knoxville Police have released their body camera video of the harrowing incident which happened at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center, in Tennessee, on February 6.

Lisa Edwards, 60, had been refusing to leave the hospital and was arrested on trespassing charges when she died in the back of the police cruiser – minutes after telling cops 'you're going to kill me'.

The footage shows Lisa being taken into custody, gasping and wheezing before she tells officers that she 'can't breathe'. Her skin becomes grayer, and her voice more slurred as the footage continues. The latter is a well-known symptom of a stroke. 

First of all, the stupid American cops should have an idea that a wheelchair-bound woman was seeking medical help in a hospital. That's the reason why she was there. 

But the white cops failed to assess the situation, It is certain that the stupid American cops couldn't tell that wheezing while gasping for air is a life threatening condition that needed immediate medical actions. Instead they arrested while suffering from difficulty of breathing. 

Authorities released the hour and 16-minute video with a warning that some of the video may be distressing.

Lisa starts telling an officer that she can't get back up to the hospital, with officers struggling to get her into the back of the van before she says she needs to sit down.

Officers can be heard being brusque with her, telling her to 'help them help her' as she starts wheezing and slurring her words while wearing a hospital

One cop can be heard telling her that she's 'been medically cleared' before another says 'you weren't having any breathing problems when you were out here smoking a cigarette.'

Lisa is then told to 'stop' when she says 'I'm going to pass out', with the officer telling her 'you're going to get in there one way or another.'

The horrific footage continues for another hour, showing officers trying to force her into the back of the van as they tell her she doesn't have an inhaler.

Another officer then tells her that he will 'stuff her in' if she doesn't help, with Lisa crying out as they try to move her.

They then tell her she will 'get more charges' and another says they are 'tired of her deadweight crap'.

Lisa is then told she is being 'ridiculous', before protesting and saying 'help lift me up, oh please' as cops threaten to slam the door on her foot.

Florida executes American convicted criminal Donald Dillbeck for 1990 murder while a fugitive

 


Florida executes American convicted criminal Donald Dillbeck for 1990 murder while a fugitive

By Edward Era Barbacena


Florida executed a man on Thursday for murdering a woman in 1990 after he escaped from prison, stabbing her to death in a shopping mall parking lot in an attempted carjacking.

Donald Dillbeck, 59, was pronounced dead at 6:13 p.m. after receiving a lethal injection at Florida State Prison, the governor’s office said. He had been convicted in the murder of Faye Vann, 44, in Tallahassee near the state Capitol.

The execution was Florida’s first in nearly four years and the third under Gov. Ron DeSantis. By comparison, his immediate predecessor, current U.S. Republican Sen. Rick Scott, oversaw 28 executions.

Vann’s children, Tony and Laura, released a statement after the execution: "11,932 days ago, Donald Dillbeck brutally killed our Mother. We were robbed of years of memories with her, and it has been very painful ever since."

They thanked DeSantis for carrying out the execution, saying it "has given us some closure."










American woman who burned pride flag at SoHo restaurant arrested, police say

 


American woman who burned pride flag at SoHo restaurant arrested, police say

By Edward Era Barbacena


The white woman accused of setting fire to a pride flag outside a SoHo restaurant was arrested late Tuesday, according to police.

Angelina Cando, a 30-year-old Manhattan resident, has been arrested and charged with arson, criminal mischief and reckless endangerment as hate crimes.

Cando’s arrest came a day after footage and surveillance images emerged of a woman setting fire to a pride flag outside Little Prince, a restaurant in lower Manhattan.

“Thank you to @NYPDNews for the swift apprehension of the person who set fire the pride flag and Little Prince restaurant,” Council Member Erik Bottcher, who represents the district where the restaurant is located, said in a Twitter post on Wednesday. “Anyone who is contemplating attacks against the LGBTQ community, or any marginalized group, should know they will be held accountable.

Footage showed a woman emerging from a white SUV around 1:30 a.m. on Monday and using a lighter to set the flag ablaze. The fire spread to the building’s exterior, causing damage, police said. No injuries were reported.

Bottcher participated in the rehanging of a new flag outside the Little Prince later that morning.

“I want to note that this flag is five times the size of the original flag,” he said late Monday morning. “So the person who did this, their plan has backfired — and backfired badly.”

Cando’s attorney information was not immediately available.





American TV journalist and 9 year old child shot dead at scene of mass shooting in Florida

 


American TV journalist and 9 year old child shot dead at scene of mass shooting in Florida

The suspect has been identified as Keith Melvin Moses, and he has been formally charged with the murder of the first victim. Additional charges relating to the other four victims are set to follow.

By Edward Era Barbacena


Four people were shot, two of of them fatally, at a homicide crime scene outside of Orlando, Florida, on Wednesday, according to police.

The victims included a nine-year-old girl and an Orlando-based TV journalist who was producing a story about a woman who was found shot dead at the location in Pine Hills earlier in the day.

“I want to acknowledge what a horrible day this has been for our community and our media partners,” Orange County Sheriff John Mina said during a press conference on Wednesday.

Spectrum News 13 said on Wednesday it was not yet releasing the names of its personnel wounded and killed in the violence.

Another media member covering the scene was critically injured, according to the Orange County Sheriff’s Office. The mother of the child was also shot and injured.

A suspect, 19-year-old Keith Melvin Moses, is in custody, the sheriffs said.

The gunman allegedly walked up to a Spectrum News 13 vehicle just after 4pm and shot inside, hitting a reporter and a photographer, then went into a nearby home and began firing inside, killing the girl and wounding her mother, the sheriff said.

“So, the suspect is not saying much right now,” Mr Mina said. “It is unclear if he knew they were news media or not. We’re still trying to work all that out.”

Police arrested the 19-year-old near the scene and found a handgun believed to have been used in the shooting.

Earlier in the day, a woman in her 20s was found shot dead in her vehicle in the location where the later shootings took place.

Mr Moses has been charged with murder in the first shooting, and is expected to be charged in the later killings as well, according to the sheriff.

It is unclear if Mr Moses has legal representation or how he will plead.

Mr Moses has previously been arrested for motor vehicle theft, domestic violence battery, obstructing law enforcement, resisting arrest, burglary, failure to appear in court, grand theft, and probation violations, according to records obtained by the Orlando Sentinel.

The White House offered its condolences on Wednesday.

Gun safety campaigner Fred Guttenberg, whose daughter Jaime was killed in the Parkland school massacre in 2018, wrote on Twitter: “I am speechless. Reporters in Orlando, FL are shot while covering a shooting. One has died. Also happening in Florida today, the ongoing effort to pass permitless carry and ensuring that this will happen again.”

American cops of Milwaukee fatally shot a man who was fleeing with a gun, Chief Norman says; video appears to show officers drag the unresponsive man

By Edward Era Barbacena




The Milwaukee Police Department has launched a "full administrative investigation" after a bystander's video appears to show officers dragging an unresponsive 31-year-old Milwaukee man who was fatally shot Tuesday by an officer near North 91st Street and West Silver Spring Drive.

The department said the incident began around 1:48 p.m. with an attempted traffic stop on a vehicle with no license plates in the 7000 block of West Thurston Avenue.

The driver initially stopped but then drove away as officers approached, Police Chief Jeffrey Norman said.

The driver of the suspected vehicle was subsequently spotted near North 60th Street and West Thurston Avenue and a pursuit ensued.

The chase ended when the driver ran a red light in the 9100 block of West Silver Spring Drive and struck another vehicle, Norman said.

The driver of the suspected vehicle then ran away with a gun in his hand, Norman said.

“During the foot pursuit, the suspect possessed a handgun and continued fleeing with a gun in his hand," Norman said. "The officer gave the suspect several commands to drop the gun and the officer discharged his firearm striking the suspect.”

The officer is a 43-year-old man with more than five years of service. He will be placed on administrative duty as is routine.

Norman said it is “unknown” if the man pointed the gun toward officers, adding the incident in under investigation.

Norman said he believes no other passengers were in the suspected vehicle.

The driver of the vehicle that collided with the suspected vehicle suffered no injuries, Norman said, adding that officers were not injured either.

The Waukesha Police Department will be the lead investigative agency.

A video that has been shared widely on social media shows the aftermath of the shooting. In the video an officer is seen dragging the man, who looks to be unresponsive.

Police issued a statement Tuesday regarding the video, saying "(MPD) is aware of videos that are circulating on social media platforms depicting portions of the incident including officers moving the suspect. MPD is conducting a full administrative investigation of this incident. MPD holds its members to the highest level of integrity and if it is determined that any member has violated the code of conduct they will be held accountable."

Mayor Cavalier Johnson told the Journal Sentinel early Wednesday afternoon he had seen the video of the man’s body being dragged by officers, but hadn’t talked with police yet about the department’s protocols or why the man’s body was moved.

He said it looked to him like the officers were trying to move the man to a harder surface than where he fell to render life support to him.

He said when the investigation is finished there will be recommendations that he and Chief Jeffrey Norman will look at.

On Wednesday, police said the work status of the officers seen in the video had not changed as the investigation continues. The department declined to provide any further information.

Norman said Tuesday the incident would be subject to the department's "community briefing" series, in which police release limited and edited body camera footage within a goal of 45 days. The department has not always met that goal, however.

Tuesday's shooting comes a week after Milwaukee police buried Officer Peter Jerving, who was shot and killed on duty Feb. 7 and amid a five-day period, during which six homicides were reported and two children died by gun violence.

Asked why residents should have confidence in his administration’s leadership on public safety issues, Johnson said the last few years have been hard in cities across the nation, but noted drops in overall violent crime in the city since he came into office a little more than a year ago.

He said city leaders are “doing all that we can” to prevent homicides, citing Camp Rise, youth jobs program, and efforts to increase good-paying jobs and affordable housing and create stability in the city’s neighborhoods.

But he said state and federal leaders need to clamp down on people’s ability to get their hands on guns.

“We need that partnership and we will continue to beat that drum to the folks that are in power in Madison and Washington about the need to change,” he said. “Because if we don’t, we will continue to see these deadly consequences on the street and I don’t want to see that. That’s why we’re investing so much time and energy and effort on these front-end sort of measures, and those are the things that we have direct control over.”












DNA on a cigarette butt just helped solve a 52-year-old murder

 


DNA on a cigarette butt just helped solve a 52-year-old murder

Shortly after Rita Curran's 1971 murder, suspect William DeRoos 'moved to Thailand and became a Buddhist monk'

By Edward Era Barbacena


A discarded cigarette found near the body of a 24-year-old Vermont school teacher in her apartment nearly 52 years ago helped lead investigators to an upstairs neighbor who they say strangled her after having a fight with his wife, police said Tuesday.

Burlington Police DNA evidence collected from the cigarette butt and dogged investigative work led authorities to the man they say killed Rira Curran within a 70-minute window on a July night in 1971.

The suspect, identified as William DeRoos, who was 31 at the time, had left his apartment that night for "a cool down walk." After he returned he told his wife of two weeks not to say that he had been out.

Since the investigation was renewed in 2019, detectives re-interviewed DeRoos' former wife, and she told them he had left their apartment for a brief period within a window of time when Curran's roommates were out of her Burlington apartment.

"We're all confident that William DeRoos is responsible for the aggravated murder of Rita Curran, but because he died in a hotel room of a drug overdose he will not be held accountable for his actions, but this case will be closed," Burlington Police Detective Lt. James Trieb, the commander of the Detective Services Bureau, said during a Tuesday morning news conference.

After Curran's death DeRoos, who was known to some as a guru, moved to Thailand and became a monk, but he later returned to the United States. In 1986 DeRoos died of a drug overdose in San Francisco, police said.

Curran's parents died without learning who had killed their daughter, but the victim's brother and sister attended the event held at Burlington police headquarters..

The day's top national and international news.

"I don't think so much about the guy who did this as I do about Rita, my parents and what they went through," Curran's brother Tom said during the event. "I pray to Rita and I pray to my parents."

In the early morning hours of July 20, 1971 Burlington police were called to the Brooks Avenue apartment after Curran's roommate arrived home to find her body in their shared bedroom.

Police say Curran resisted fiercely, but she was strangled. The murder shook Burlington.

The case remained open and investigators never let it go, but in 2019, Trieb and a team of detectives, officers, technicians and others began working the case as though it had just happened.

A key piece of evidence was a cigarette butt that had been found near Curran's body. In 2014, previous investigators had sent the butt and other evidence off for DNA analysis. The test did compile a DNA profile of whoever had smoked the cigarette, but it did not match any samples in DNA databases compiled by law enforcement.

The detectives who picked up the case in 2019 contracted with a DNA testing company and the samples were compared with genetic material submitted to commercial DNA testing companies by members of the public. Last August, Burlington detectives were told the sample, which had been traced through relatives on both sides of DeRoos's family, was pointing at DeRoos, even though he had no DNA profile on record.

Detectives then determined DeRoos and his wife Michelle had been living upstairs at the time of Curran's death. They had spoken with investigators after Curran's death, but at the time they said they had not seen or heard anything.

DeRoos and his wife, who no longer uses the name DeRoos, left Vermont shortly after Curran's death. Their marriage ended after DeRoos went to Thailand. DeRoos married again after moving back to the United States.

In a recent interview, DeRoos's ex-wife, who lived with him in Burlington and now lives in Eugene, Oregon, told investigators she had lied about her husband leaving their apartment that night. Burlington detectives later interviewed a subsequent wife who told them DeRoos had a penchant for sudden outbursts of violence.

Detective Thomas Chennette, who interviewed DeRoos's first ex-wife, said Tuesday he didn't believe she knew he had killed Curran, but was protecting him because he had a criminal record.

"I think she lied at the time because she was young. She was naive. She was newly married. She was in love," Chennette said.

Now-retired U.S. Sen. Patrick Leahy, who was the Chittenden County State's Attorney when Curran was killed and went to the crime scene that night, attended the Tuesday event. Asked if he felt the case would ever be solved, he said that he had hoped it would.

"I must admit after 20 and 30, 40 years I figured it never would. ... It was a terrible thing," he said.

Body camera video shows fatal shooting by American cop Charles McWhorter that killed Richard Ward during middle school pickup

 



Body camera video shows fatal shooting by American cop Charles McWhorter  that killed Richard Ward during middle school pickup

Richard Ward's family filed a federal lawsuit Tuesday against the Pueblo County Sheriff's Office.

By Edward Era Barbacena



 A family filed a federal lawsuit Tuesday against the Pueblo County Sheriff’s Office after deputies shot and killed a man in a middle school pickup line last year.

Richard Ward, 32, was shot three times in the chest during an encounter with deputies on Feb. 22, 2022. The Tenth Judicial District Attorney’s Office cleared both deputies involved in the call in October, arguing the deputy who fired was justified in his use of force.

“It’s just shattered this whole family,” Kristy Ward Stamp, Ward's mother, said at a news conference Tuesday afternoon as her attorneys filed the civil lawsuit against Pueblo County.

“It’s been really, really horrible. I don’t even know who I am anymore, but I’m working on it," she said. "That’s about it.”

Ward's younger brother, Eddy Stamp. who lives out of state, was at the news conference to support his mother.

“It’s infuriating," he said. "It’s so hard to watch the footage and see what happened with your own eyes.”

The family is upset both with what the video shows and the way the story was portrayed by the sheriff's office after the shooting. 

Dave Lucero, who was a chief deputy at the time and is now the Pueblo County Sheriff, briefed reporters at the scene that day. Lucero told reporters that day that Ward "jumped out of the vehicle." The video shows Ward being pulled out of the car by a deputy.

"To hear my younger brother say that other people's parents are reading that story and that other kids in his class are referring to my brother as this intruder and attacker, and to have him not know how to even deal with that," Eddy Stamp said.

Ward was sitting in the car with his mother and her boyfriend waiting for his younger brother to get out of Liberty Point International School in Pueblo West. According to family attorney Darold Killmer, Ward got out of the car to stretch his legs and smoke a cigarette. When he returned, Killmer said he accidentally got into another SUV that looked like his mother’s. Killmer said he quickly got out of that car and walked back to his mother’s car.

“At worst, he had startled a lady by opening her car door, though it was accidental, and nothing further happened when he realized his mistake,” Killmer said. “The officers had no basis to believe Richard had committed any crime, and absolutely no basis to believe that Richard was a danger to them or anyone else.”

According to a decision letter from the district attorney, a 911 caller reported a suspicious person trying to open doors. The caller claimed Ward was “on something.”

When Deputy Charles McWhorter arrived on scene, he approached Ward in the SUV and had a brief conversation with him. In body camera footage, Ward tells the deputy he’s nervous because he doesn’t like cops. He tells the officer he has some anxiety and has had bad experiences with police yelling at him to stop resisting when he’d done nothing wrong.

McWhorter asks if Ward has an ID, and when Ward reaches into his pockets, McWhorter asks if Ward has any weapons. Ward tells McWhorter he may have a pocketknife.

Body camera from a second deputy, Cassandra Gonzalez, who arrived after McWhorter, shows Ward slipping something in his mouth. Killmer said Ward had an anxiety disorder and had been prescribed medication for it. The deputy demanded to know what Ward put in his mouth. Ward answered it was just a pill.

McWhorter pulled Ward out of the SUV and onto the ground, and the two struggled for several seconds. McWhorter pulled out his service weapon and fired three shots at Ward.

After the shooting, Ward’s mother and her boyfriend are heard screaming from inside the SUV, asking for information from the deputies. 

The deputies closed the car door and stood with Ward’s body for nearly three minutes until medical assistance arrived.

An October decision letter from the DA’s critical incident team said they found McWhorter and Gonzalez were justified to use force by the defense of self and defense of others provisions of Colorado law.

“They had reasonable ground to believe, and did believe, that they and their fellow officers were in imminent danger of being killed or receiving great bodily injury,” district attorney Jeff Chostner wrote.

In the same letter, the district attorney said that McWhorter and Gonzalez feared for their own safety with Ward’s mother and boyfriend still in the car and decided not to render aid to him before firefighters got there.

“[McWhorter] said he would have felt vulnerable if he was down on the ground assisting Richard as the door would only offer concealment not cover,” he wrote.

Ward’s family’s lawsuit alleges claims under the U.S. Constitution and under the Colorado Constitution pursuant to Colorado’s new police reform law.

“We consider this an extraordinarily compelling case of unjustified police brutality, leading to the death of a young man with devastating consequences for his mother and family,” Killmer said. “The family has asked us to secure justice for Richard, and we intend to do so.”






American Racist Cops of Mississippi Tortured 2 Black Men After Accusing Them Of Selling Drugs And Dating White Women

 



American Racist Cops of Mississippi  Tortured 2 Black Men After Accusing Them Of Selling Drugs And Dating White Women

Michael Jenkins was shot in the mouth while handcuffed by deputies Jan. 24 in Rankin County, Mississippi

By Edward Era Barbacena



A group of Black lawyers is speaking up against multiple white police officers in Mississippi who allegedly tortured two Black men after accusing them of selling drugs and “dating white women.”

In a statement to News One, the Black Lawyers for Justice organization said the officers brutally beat and kicked the men, used a Taser on both and threatened to kill them. One of the Black men, Michael C. Jenkins, was shot in the mouth according to the lawyers.

The post Mississippi Officers Allegedly Tortured 2 Black Men After Accusing Them Of Selling Drugs And Dating White Women appeared first on Blavity.

Jenkins was staying with Eddie Terrell Parker in a private residence when six white officers raided the place without a warrant on Jan. 24, the lawyers said. The officers allegedly handcuffed the pair after accusing them of “dating white women” and “selling drugs.”

After restraining the men, the officers repeatedly kicked, threatened and waterboarded the pair, Black Lawyers for Justice said.

Jenkins’ mother, Mary, said police told her that they shot her son because he “displayed a gun.”

“My son was handcuffed when he was shot in the mouth by Rankin County officers. My son is still in critical condition and has a long road to recovery,” Mary said in a GoFundMe page she created. “With everyone’s continuous prayers and support we’ll be able to get the Justice my son deserves. Not only Justice for him but every other innocent person male or female that Rankin County Sheriff’s Department has killed. Anything that is donated will be greatly appreciated.”

Mary also said there is a witness who said Jenkins didn’t have a gun.

“The witness told us that [Jenkins] was beat, tased and handcuffed while on his knees,” the devastated mother said. “The witness also stated that they went back and forth tasing [Jenkins and Parker] to see ‘who’s taser was the strongest.’”

Black Lawyers for Justice said “Michael has been clinging to his life and he is unable to talk, only write.”

“Michael has confirmed in writing that he was in fact handcuffed when shot by deputies. For several weeks since being shot, Michael has been in ICU at UMMC on life support,” the group stated in a press release to NewsOne. “Michael suffered severe injuries to his mouth and head including having his tongue surgically removed, permanent damage to eyesight and hearing, and suffering severe debilitating cognitive injuries. Surely the psychological and physical trauma will last a lifetime.”

Black Lawyers for Justice is demanding for the officers involved to be arrested and criminally charged as well as all body camera footage be released and made public.

Parker, who is not hospitalized, is expected to be present at a press conference on Wednesday.

5th person confirmed to be cured of HIV


 

5th person confirmed to be cured of HIV

The Dusseldorf patient is latest to be rid of HIV with no signs of return.

By Edward Era Barbacena


Researchers are announcing that a 53-year-old man in Germany has been cured of HIV.

Referred to as "the Dusseldorf patient" to protect his privacy, researchers said he is the fifth confirmed case of an HIV cure. Although the details of his successful treatment were first announced at a conference in 2019, researchers could not confirm he had been officially cured at that time.

Today, researchers announced the Dusseldorf patient still has no detectable virus in his body, even after stopping his HIV medication four years ago.

"It’s really cure, and not just, you know, long term remission," said Dr. Bjorn-Erik Ole Jensen, who presented details of the case in a new publication in "Nature Medicine."

"This obviously positive symbol makes hope, but there's a lot of work to do," Jensen said

For most people, HIV is a lifelong infection, and the virus is never fully eradicated. Thanks to modern medication, people with HIV can live long and healthy lives.

The Dusseldorf patient joins a small group of people who have been cured under extreme circumstances after a stem cell transplant, typically only performed in cancer patients who don’t have any other options. A stem cell transplant is a high-risk procedure that effectively replaces a person's immune system. The primary goal is to cure someone's cancer, but the procedure has also led to an HIV cure in a handful of cases.

HIV, or human immunodeficiency virus, enters and destroys the cells of the immune system. Without treatment, the continued damage can lead to AIDS, or acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, where a person cannot fight even a small infection.

With about 38.4 million people globally living with HIV, treatments have come a long way. Modern medication can keep the virus at bay, and studies looking into preventing HIV infection with a vaccine are also underway.

The first person with HIV cure was Timothy Ray Brown. Researchers published his case as the Berlin patient in 2009. That was followed by the London patient published in 2019. Most recently, The City of Hope and New York patients were published in 2022.

“I think we can get a lot of insights from this patient and from these similar cases of HIV cure," Jensen said. "These insights give us some hints where we could go to make the strategy safer.

All four of these patients had undergone stem cell transplants for their blood cancer treatment. Their donors also had the same HIV-resistant mutation that deletes a protein called CCR5, which HIV normally uses to enter the cell. Only 1% of the total population carries this genetic mutation that makes them resistant to HIV.

“When you hear about these HIV cure, it’s obviously, you know, incredible, given how challenging it’s been. But, it still remains the exception to the rule," said Dr. Todd Ellerin, director of infectious disease at South Shore Health.

The stem cell transplantation is a complicated procedure that comes with many risks, and it is too risky to offer it as a cure for everyone with HIV.

However, scientists are hopeful. Each time they cure a new patient, they gain valuable research insights that help them understand what it would take to find a cure for everyone.

“It is obviously a step forward in advancing the science and having us sort of understanding, in some ways, what it takes to cure HIV," Ellerin said.





American women caught on camera harassing hard working Hispanic street vendor in California

 



American  women caught on camera harassing hard working Hispanic street vendor in California

The ill-mannered four white women who ruined Andrés Argüelles Álvarezs work for a living have not been identified

By Edward Era Barbacena


Alot white stupid white people in the United States are becoming too far when it comes to the people of color.  Many of these white people are obviously didn't learn proper manners

A hotdog vendor blasted the heartless bullying he endured in a viral TikTok that showed him being harassed by four women.

In the clip, one woman is heard complaining about the $7 price of a meat stick and threatening to “f–k over” the vendor — before her companion is seen taking a hotdog off the grill, licking it and putting it back.

The disturbing footage, taken outside Viejas Arena at San Diego State University on Feb. 11, had been watched millions of times, and generated thousands of comments critical of the behavior of the white women — who are white, — and sympathetic to Hispanic vendor Andrés Argüelles Álvarez.

“They grabbed my bacon with their hand, all my vegetables, everything I use,” Argüelles Álvarez told Noticias Telemundo in Spanish, according to NBC News. “People realized all the dirty things they were doing and it disgusted them. They no longer wanted to buy more.”

“They realized that I was Mexican, that I didn’t speak English very well, and they thought, ‘Ah, we can attack him,'” he reportedly said.

Witness Morgan McBrearty told NBC the women “were already there harassing Andrés” when she approached the cart to buy food.

US President Biden Pays Surprise Visit To Kyiv — His First To Ukraine Since Putin’s Invasion Last Year

By Edward Era Barbacena


US President Joe Biden met his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Kyiv on Monday — marking the U.S. president’s first visit to Ukraine since Vladimir Putin‘s invasion began In February last year. 

What Happened: Biden said his visit to the war-torn nation is aimed at reaffirming America’s “unwavering and unflagging commitment to Ukraine’s democracy, sovereignty, and territorial integrity.”

“When Putin launched his invasion nearly one year ago, he thought Ukraine was weak and the West was divided. He thought he could outlast us. But he was dead wrong,” Biden said in a statement published by the White House.

“Today, in Kyiv, I am meeting with President Zelenskyy and his team for an extended discussion on our support for Ukraine. I will announce another delivery of critical equipment, including artillery ammunition, anti-armor systems, and air surveillance radars to help protect the Ukrainian people from aerial bombardments,” Biden added. 

“And I will share that later this week, we will announce additional sanctions against elites and companies that are trying to evade or backfill Russia’s war machine.”

Ahead of his visit, Biden had tweeted, “As we approach the anniversary of Russia’s brutal invasion of Ukraine, I’m in Kyiv today to meet with President Zelenskyy and reaffirm our unwavering commitment to Ukraine’s democracy, sovereignty, and territorial integrity.”

Absolute Chaos At A California Popeye’s Drive-Thru When 2 American Families Do Battle

 


Absolute Chaos At A California Popeye’s Drive-Thru When 2 American Families Do Battle

By Edward Era Barbacena



A California woman captured a wild brawl between two couples at a Popeyes drive-thru that escalated after one of the men allegedly honked at the other.

Gigi M Drummond was waiting in the drive-thru of the Popeyes on Temecula Parkway in Temecula on Saturday when she witnessed the shocking fight.

‘Decided to get Popeye’s chicken sandwich for my son – we got front row seats to ‘Saturday Nihght Fights,” she said in the Facebook caption for the videos that have since been deleted.

Drummond posted three videos of the altercation. According to the footage, the fight kicked off when the couple in the black car honked their car horn at the couple in the white car.

The man in the white vehicle – a white man wearing a brown shirt – immediately screams at the couple and Popeyes staff about how he has been waiting for his food for over an hour.

In the first clip, the man in the brown shirt can be heard screaming at the couple and telling them to get back in their car.

He repeatedly calls them ‘n***a’ to which Drummond retorts: ‘But he's  not even black!’

While the man screams, a woman from his vehicle can be seen filming the altercation on her phone.

‘Can I get my sandwich,’ Drummond can be heard asking while recording the video.

The man from the white car continues shouting obscenities at the couple while trying to get his food from restaurant staff.

‘They are f*****g p***y don’t ever honk at me n***a,’ the man shouts. ‘Don’t ever honk at me you p***y b***h.’

‘Eat your f*****g food!’

Turning to the staff, the man continues shouting about how he wants his food. Meanwhile, the couple from the black car can be heard arguing with each other, prompting their assailant to come and shout some more.

But the man turns on the woman from the black car, telling her that she treats her husband like ‘s**t.’

‘You’re a piece of s**t,’ he screams. ‘You’re an ugly b***h!’

At this point, the woman’s man finally steps in and scold the man for screaming at her.

The next clip shows the escalation of the fight, with the woman who was screamed at telling her man that she ‘can’t afford to go to jail.’

She repeats the sentiment when all of a sudden, the man from the white vehicle pushes her in the back.

Drummond is in disbelief, exclaiming her shock that the woman’s partner has not stepped in to ‘defend’ her.

The bystander calls the man in the brown shirt a ‘psycho,’ adding that she can’t believe he called the white couple ‘the little n and two gs.’

At this moment, the woman from the black car tells her partner to back off or he will be going ‘back to jail.’

But their assailant threatens to ‘snap’ the woman’s neck before violently pushing her back.

Staff try to refrain the man, practically hanging out of the window to hold him back.

The woman from the black car declares that she is going to kill the man, taking off her slipper and slapping the man from the white car with it.

The two start fighting before the woman from the other car comes and restrains the man.

She turns to the woman with the slipper and tells her to go so that they can leave.

And as the staff continue trying to break up the fight through the drive-thru window, the man from the white car turns to her and shouts: ‘B***h, I’m getting in the car!’

Part three of the fight shows the woman from the black car hitting the other couple’s car, prompting them both to get out and charge at her.

Soon the woman’s partner also jumps into the fray and all four go falling to the ground. Punches are thrown and screams can be heard as bystanders rush to break up the fight.

Law enforcement officers then arrive on the scene and pull the couples apart.

‘Ohh they got the big boy,’ Drummond exclaims as one of the officers, later adding that Popeyes staff better give them ‘some free chicken sandwiches.’

One of the women is restrained as the officers deescalate the situation.

The fight comes to a close with Drummond singing the iconic ‘Bad Boys’ song by the Inner Circle.

According to Drummond, no one was arrested at the scene.

The altercation is the latest in a series of disturbing incidents, including a fatal stabbing, to have occurred at Popeyes restaurants amid the return of its popular chicken sandwich, which has sparked chaos nationwide.

On November 4, a Popeyes customer was stabbed to death during an argument in a line for the restocked chicken sandwich at a branch of the fast food chain in Oxon Hill, Maryland.

Prince George’s County authorities on Tuesday identified Ricoh McClain, 30, as the man who fatally stabbed 28-year-old Kevin Tyrell Davis following the dispute.

A representative for Popeyes said: ‘What happened in Maryland last night is a tragedy and we are saddened to hear about this senseless act of violence.’

‘Our thoughts are with the victim’s family and friends. We, along with the franchisee, are fully cooperating with local authorities and actively working to gather more information,’ the chain added.

Popeyes resumed selling its chicken sandwich on November 3. It was first released in August, and the chain credited popular demand to its supply selling out that month.

The $3.99 sandwich, which comes in classic and spicy, debuted for the first time in August and was met with a frantic craze that led to long lines and fist fights at several restaurants. The sandwich sold out in a matter of just two weeks.

US Doctor reveals American insurance companies want you to ‘die as quickly as possible’

Glaucomflecken provides  lists off several insurance companies including United Healthcare, Aetna, Cigna and Blue cross as the main guilty ones.

By Edward Era Barbacena


The TikTok was posted Thursday and had racked up nearly one million views.

“Healthcare companies don’t care about you,” said Dr. Glaucomflecken grimly. “They don’t care.”

Glaucomflecken lists off several insurance companies including United Healthcare, Aetna, Cigna and Blue cross as the main guilty ones.

“They want to extract as much money as possible from your healthy body,” continued the doctor. “Then when you’re no longer healthy, they want you to die as quickly as possible, to make room for other money-producing bodies so…have a great day.”

Dr. Glaucomflecken’s comments come as health insurance companies raked in a massive profit during the COVID-19 pandemic which cause policy prices to soar drastically.

In addition, Federal law requires hospitals and insurance companies to provide patients with the details of how much they are being charged.

“Insurers want to make sure they are negotiating the best deals they can for their members, to make sure their products have competitive premiums, said chief executive of America’s Health Insurance Plans Matt Eyles to the New York Times.

The Post reached out to Dr. Glaucomflecken for comment.

Several of the doc’s commenters agreed with him.

“I work in oncology. you 100% correct,” said one user.

“As someone who works in health insurance verification—yes,” said another.

“The longer I’m in medicine the more apparent this truth is,” a third person said.
