The deadly shooting at the Kansas City Chiefs’ victory parade that killed one and injured nearly two dozen was the result of a personal dispute that exploded into violence – and cops have detained three people who may be at fault, authorities said Thursday. Kansas City Police Chief Stacey Graves emphasized that the Wednesday afternoon attack on the west side of the city’s landmark Union Station had nothing to do with homegrown terrorism or violent extremism. Instead, the shooting “appeared to be a dispute between several people that ended in gunfire,” Graves told reporters at a Thursday press conference.

In the early hours of Thursday, a loud explosion ripped through a quiet residential street of new-build family homes just north of the Swedish city of Uppsala. Soha Saad, 24, was killed in the blast. She lived with her parents, and had recently qualified as a teacher. In footage of the aftermath, her mother can be heard screaming for her daughter, cursing the nation to which they once fled. Saad was one of three victims of gangland violence in a violent 12-hour spell last week, and one of 12 people to be killed in September - Sweden's deadliest month since...

The gang situation in Sweden has been bad for a while but this summer it has gotten significant worse. The gangs are mostly made up of foreigners and earlier this month the country was shocked when a 13-year-old boy was found murdered in a forest area. Two fourteen-year-olds were murdered near Stockholm earlier in the summer. But the situation keeps getting worse with 12 people dead from gang violence this month alone. Remember, Sweden has roughly the same population as the state of Georgia and historically has had a very low murder rate. Last year, more than 60 people died...

Haitian police, government officials and some members of the foreign diplomatic corps have been hoping that an offer by Kenya to lead an international intervention into a troubled Haiti would mean thousands of additional cops helping to dismantle and fight heavily armed kidnapping gangs. Instead, however, the proposal is shaping up as an offer to protect key government infrastructures like the airport, seaports and main roads, which critics say will not curb the violence and only end in failure. “Most of the critical infrastructures they were quoting are in the hands of the gangs. Before protecting this critical infrastructure, you...

California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) claimed Sunday that there have been over 400 “mass shootings” in the United States thus far in 2023. His claim was based on Gun Violence Archive’s misleading “mass shooting” data, as reported by ABC News. (Breitbart News pointed out that Forbes used the same misleading data, claiming over 400 “mass shootings” in the United States at this point in 2023 as well.) Newsom tweeted: This weekend marked the 400th mass shooting in the US this year. Absolutely insane. Everyone deserves the Right to Safety. Time for a Constitutional amendment to end these tragedies. https://t.co/9MQlm24XBZ —...

Pamela Price, the progressive prosecutor of Alameda County, California, near San Francisco, is facing protests and a call for her recall amid a storm of criticism for her response to a family whose toddler was murdered in a suspected gang shooting on a public highway. An informal Change.org petition demanding her recall has garnered more than 14,000 signatures. It takes issue with a handful of other cases in which the new left-wing district attorney has allegedly gone soft on criminals. In one, her office offered a 15-year plea deal to a man accused of three murders. "Once we get enough...

The number of children and teens killed by gunfire in the United States increased 50% between 2019 and 2021, according to a Pew Research Center analysis of the latest annual mortality statistics from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). In 2019, before the coronavirus pandemic, there were 1,732 gun deaths among U.S. children and teens under the age of 18. By 2021, that figure had increased to 2,590.

A gruesome murder in New York City in late April provided yet another example of illegal alien crime run amok in this country. David Bonola, an illegal alien from Mexico, was arrested late last month for the murder of 51-year-old Orsolya Gaal. Bonola has reportedly been living in the U.S. for more than 20 years, and previously worked for Gaal’s family as a handyman. The details of the slaying are brutal as Gaal was allegedly stabbed “ruthlessly and brutally in excess of 55 times,” according to the New York Police Department. If Bonola committed this killing as alleged by police,...

The top domestic extremist threat comes from racially or ethnically motivated violent extremists, specifically those who advocate for the superiority of the white race," Attorney General Merrick Garland testified before the Senate last May. FBI Director Christopher Wray issued similar warnings, as did President Joe Biden on countless occasions. You'd think there would have by now been a wave of domestic terrorism by white supremacist groups against black people and other minorities, judging by those dire warnings issued from D.C.

The white Columbus police officer who fatally shot shot a 16-year-old black girl last year has been cleared of any criminal wrongdoing, Ohio prosecutors announced on Friday. Ma'Khia Bryant was killed last April by Nicholas Reardon after she swung a knife at another young woman. Reardon was 23 years old at the time. Police have said they were called to Bryant's foster home on April 20, 2021, because a group of girls was threatening to stab other members of the household. Body camera footage showed Reardon, who was 23 at the time, asking what was going on when he arrived...

Our latest update from the world of detachment from reality showed up in Washington state this week, where legislators are now considering legislation that would reduce the criminal penalties for drive-by shootings. We could sit here all day and scratch our heads over how anyone could believe that we’re being “too harsh” on people who gun down pedestrians from the windows of their vehicles, but that would skip over the rationale being offered. Democratic Representatives in the state legislature said that the sentencing guidelines need to be loosened in the interest of promoting “racial equity.” You really can’t make this...
