(Hey mom and dad of these so called human beings..............
aren't you so PROUD of this crap??? )
Kendra Nance, a 31-year-old Chicago resident, got into a fight with her boyfriend at a gas station in Forest Park on Sunday.
Gas station customers ended up getting involved in the very public fight, some picking up their phones to record the ordeal. One customer reportedly threw something at the Ford Explorer Nance was in, angering her further.
Although her boyfriend tried to grab the keys out of the ignition to keep her from driving away, Nance still managed to begin erratically driving the car away, dragging her boyfriend, who was only halfway inside the vehicle, along the road.
The out-of-control woman smashed into a red SUV that was parked at the gas station. Shortly after pulling out onto the street, Nance crashed straight into another vehicle that was waiting at a stoplight.
The car Nance was driving flipped upside down and landed in the middle of the road. She then jumped out of the car and continued screaming at the people at the gas station who were continuing to record her.
Missing one of her shoes, Nance grabbed her purse out of the overturned vehicle and began to walk away.
Nance and her boyfriend were both arrested after the incident and were treated for injuries at Loyola University Medical Center in Maywood.
Miraculously, there were no other injuries from the crash.
Nance was charged with felony criminal damage to property, two counts of aggravated assault, reckless driving, reckless conduct, leaving the scene of a motor vehicle accident, and having no valid driver’s license.
After appearing in court for a bond hearing on Tuesday, Nance’s bond was set at $200,000. She will appear in court on Wednesday for violating probation on a prior case and will appear on May 12 for this case.
Nance has three previous felonies, including aggravated battery to a police officer in 2021 and theft and robbery in 2020. She also has three misdemeanor charges, including several charges of battery from 2017, 2018, and 2021.

(If this was a black child... the protests would be huge............... but of course she is only white so it's OK.)
A 6-year-old girl and her parents were injured by gunfire on Tuesday night after a basketball rolled down a residential street in North Carolina and into a man’s yard, enraging him, neighbors told WSOC-TV.
Witnesses told the station that the gunman ran up and down the street, firing until he ran out of bullets.
The Gaston County Police Department said Wednesday they were still hunting for the alleged gunman, identified as Robert Louis Singletary, a 24-year-old man described as “armed and dangerous.”
The young girl, Kinsley White, was hospitalized after being seriously wounded. She was released overnight, family members told Queen City News. Her father, William White, remains in the hospital.
“He came out with a gun, he started shooting,” Kinsley explained to the outlet. “Hope my daddy is OK.”
Her mother, Ashley Hilderbrand, was grazed by a bullet and treated at the scene. She told WSOC that she heard the gunman make a threat to her husband and daughter: “I’m going to kill you.”
He then chased them, firing, while William White tried to shield Kinsley, Hilderbrand said.
A fourth person was shot at but not injured, police said.
Singletary faces multiple charges, including four counts of first-degree attempted murder, two counts of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill, and one count of possession of a firearm by a felon.
In December, he was arrested for assaulting his girlfriend with what police described as a “mini sledgehammer.” He allegedly prevented her from leaving his apartment until she cleaned up the evidence of the assault. The woman was able to escape roughly two hours later.

another story
WSOC-TV in North Carolina reported that a 6-year-old child and her parents were shot Tuesday night.
24-year-old Robert Singletary, the man allegedly responsible for the shooting, was furious a basketball happened to roll into his yard while young children were playing.
Police say Singletary ran down the street and fired his gun at a neighbor. Singletary then allegedly returned and shot William White and his 6-year-old daughter Kinsley while they were running away.
Kinsley and her dad were seriously injured from the gunfire. The little girl was left with bullet fragments in her cheek while William remains in the hospital.
William heroically stood in the line of fire trying to protect his daughter and the rest of the children according WSOC-TV.
Kinsley’s mother, Ashley Hilderbrand, was grazed by a bullet but has since returned home.
Here is a recent picture of the White family.
Here is photo of Kinsley after being shot.
Police say the motive for the attack remains unknown.
Singletary was out on bond in a case involving him allegedly striking his girlfriend with a hammer.
WSOC-TV has more:
Kinsley, who has stitches from bullet fragments in her cheek, is in a position no child should be in. She’s worried about her father, who suffered the most serious injuries while he was trying to protect her. She spoke to Channel 9′s Ken Lemon while holding her grandfather’s hand, with sadness in her eyes and the daunting question on her mind.
“Why did you shoot my daddy and me? Why did you shoot a kid’s dad?” Kinsley asked.
Neighbors said Singletary was new to the area and often got angry with children in the neighborhood.
Kinsley’s mother told Lemon she was outside too, and said she heard Singletary make a threat.
“He looked at my husband and my daughter and told them, ‘I’m going to kill you,’” Ashley Hilderbrand said.
Hilderbrand said Singletary chased them while shooting, and Kinsley’s father tried to draw gunfire toward him and away from the children. He was shot in the back in his front yard.
sHilderbrand said Singletary kept shooting, missing repeatedly until he was out of bullets.
On Wednesday, Lemon was in the neighborhood as police performed a tactical search of Singletary’s home. They also went door to door in the community asking if neighbors had seen him.
Police said Singletary, 24, is still on the lam.
Authorities do not know if Singletary is on foot or in a vehicle. He’s described as 6 feet, 2 inches tall with brown eyes and black hair. He weighs about 223 pounds.
Gaston County police said in Tuesday’s incident, Singletary is charged with four counts of attempted first-degree murder, two counts of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill inflicting serious injury, and possession of a firearm by a felon. More charges are likely because of the shots fired into neighbors’ homes.
Police said they have help from U.S. Marshals in the search for Singletary.
Neighbors told WSOC that Singletary was new to the area and often got angry with children in the neighborhood.
Citing the ongoing investigation, a spokesperson for the Gaston County Police Department declined to confirm details of the case.
“I want to say to the people of Gaston County—this sort of violence will not stand,” Stephen Zill, the department’s chief, said in a statement posted to social media on Wednesday afternoon.
Police have partnered with the U.S. Marshals Regional Fugitive Task Force to find Singletary, Zill said.
“We don’t even know the man,” Kinsley told WSOC, appearing on camera with stitches in her cheek. “Why did you shoot my daddy and me? Why did you shoot a kid’s dad?”
Gunman’s Grandson Says Ralph Yarl Shooting ‘Never Should Have Happened’
The incident occurred a day after a recent spate of high-profile shootings involving young victims. On Monday, a 25-year-old man in Texas was arrested for shooting at a group of four high school cheerleaders after one of them mistakenly tried to get into his car, thinking it was hers.
Over the weekend, Kaylin Gillis, a 20-year-old woman, was killed in upstate New York after the car she was in pulled up the wrong driveway while searching for a friend’s house. A 65-year-old man was charged with one count of second-degree murder.
And last Thursday, a teenage honors student named Ralph Yarl was shot twice by an 84-year-old man after accidentally ringing the doorbell of the wrong house while trying to pick his younger brothers up in a Missouri neighborhood. Yarl was discharged from the hospital this week.

(Low Life disgusting pieces of CRAP !!!)
100 Percent Fed Up reports – On Tuesday, a 26-year-old Home Depot worker named Blake Mohs was shot dead while attempting to stop a shoplifter in the lawless state of California, just east of San Francisco.
The suspects, 32-year-old Benicia Knapps and 31-year-old David Guillory, attempted to steal a phone charger from a Home Depot in Pleasanton, California. Knapps is a licensed security guard with a criminal history.
The couple appears to be dating, according to their Facebook profiles.
Mohs was working in the loss prevention center when he attempted to stop the in-store theft.
After noticing the attempted theft, Mohs confronted Knapps, who was “determined to exit without paying,” according to Pleasanton police Lt. Erik Silacci.
Knapps pulled out a handgun and fired at the Home Depot employee.
The suspect then fled with her two-year-old child, who was waiting in the car during the theft attempt.
Mohs was found bleeding inside the Home Depot and was rushed to a nearby hospital, where he died from his injuries.
The brave Home Depot employee was a Boy Scout leader and was engaged to fiancée Kasey Silligman. They were set to be married on August 12 at the campsite where the couple met while volunteering with the Scouts.
The Pleasanton Police Department released a statement detailing their response to the shooting:
Pleasanton Police Department is actively investigating a shooting that occurred at approximately 2:15 p.m. on Tuesday, April 18, inside a Home Depot store located at 6000 Johnson Drive.
Our dispatch center received calls about a man who was bleeding inside the store. Officers rendered aid to the victim, and he was immediately transported to a nearby hospital. Witnesses reported the victim attempted to stop a theft in progress, wherein a struggle ensued, and the man was shot. The suspects were seen immediately driving away from the scene after the shooting.
Allied agencies were notified of the description of the wanted vehicle. At approximately 2:30 p.m., deputies with the Alameda County Sheriff’s Office located the vehicle and successfully detained the suspects near the 7000 block of Ney Avenue in Oakland.
If you or anyone you know has information about this incident, please call Pleasanton Police Department at (925) 931-5100.
Law enforcement has since arrested both Knapps and Guillory on suspicion of murder, robbery, child endangerment, and conspiracy.
Guillory has been booked at Santa Rita jail and will be joined by Knapps after she receives treatment at a hospital.
Home Depot issued a statement about the tragic loss of life at its Pleasanton location, saying, “We’re heartbroken over this senseless tragedy. Blake was our associate and friend, and our hearts go out to his family and everyone who knew and loved him.”
The mayor of Pleasanton also issued a statement, saying, “I am devastated by the loss of Blake Mohs in yesterday’s senseless shooting.”
“Through his service to Tri-Valley organizations, Blake was a model for others. To have a life cut short is heartbreaking and infuriating,” he added.
========================================
Update
She said the gun went off by accident... REALLY?
How many dumb ass people would believe that?

CDC Director Rochelle Walensky admitted to Congress on Wednesday that vaccinated individuals can spread the COVID virus. This is after spreading vaccine disinformation for over two years now.
This is contrary to her earlier statements on the COVID vaccine. She attributed this change to “an evolution of science.”
In December 2021, Walensky warned that vaccine misinformation was one of the biggest public health threats. She didn’t mention at the time that she was a leading spreader of the propaganda.
Walensky also previously admitted she learned of the effectiveness of the vaccines by watching far-left TV.
They spread lies on top of lies.
Walsensky says it has to do with the COVID variants. They expect you to believe this garbage.
Dr. Rochelle Walensky: “That statement is no longer corrected with the Omicron variants we have right now.”
https://www.foxnews.com/media/reporter-says-filmed-hundreds-military-age-chinese-men-heading-toward-us-migrant-groups
A reporter released new video that appears to show hundreds of military-aged Chinese men in Panama heading toward the U.S. border.
Muckraker.com founder Anthony Rubin said on "Fox & Friends First" Wednesday that every day, multiple times a day, groups of men are lining up and getting on buses to continue their journeys.
Rubin described why these individuals are taking this route to get into the United States.
"This would be for people who can't fly into the U.S. directly. So what they do is they get on a flight, and they fly into some South American country. Then from there, they would go to Colombia, they would go across the jungle, pop out in Panama, and then they would head up to the United States. But this is going to be for people that can't fly into the U.S. directly. … You'd rather just fly into the U.S. and overstay your visa. This is for people that don't have that access for whatever reason."
Rubin said it's fair to be concerned about the groups showing up at the Darien Gap at the Panama-Colombia border.
He said many of the people he filmed "do not want their faces on camera."
"Either they are foreign actors that are coming over here for nefarious reasons. … or number two, these are people that are afraid of some sort of retribution by the Communist Chinese Party.
"If it's number two, well then what does that mean? That means that these people are going to be beholden to the Communist Chinese Party once they're here. Oh, you're in the United States. Okay, well, we're going to threaten your friends and family back home in China unless you do X, Y, and Z.
"Either way, it's very dangerous. You can't allow this to just continue and have all these people cross the border. I mean, it just will not work."
Chinese nationals are crossing the U.S.-Mexico border into the U.S. in unprecedented numbers this year, with the first few months of FY 2023 already eclipsing the total for 2022.
The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) reports that just under 2,000 Chinese nationals crossed the border in FY 2022, but the first few months of FY 2023 have already seen 4,300 encounters, according to federal data.
The Biden administration saw 1.7 million migrant encounters in 2021, followed by 2.3 million encounters in 2022. More are expected in 2023. According to Wall Street Journal, 2,200 migrants from China came through the Darien Gap from January to March of this year, compared to 71 in the same time frame last year.
"There are people from over 100 countries that are popping up here. And you would ask yourself why they're coming here," Rubin added.
He said many of the migrants are seeking "a better life" but his trip to the Darien Gap left him with concerns about America's national security.

(it looks like the variants will go on FOREVER and so will the vaccines and/or boosters)
There’s a new variant of the coronavirus that infectious disease experts and public health officials are keeping a close eye on. XBB.1.16, also known as Arcturus, is an Omicron subvariant that appears to be more transmissible and has fueled a recent surge of COVID-19 cases in India. While the variant is circulating at low levels in the U.S., health officials are closely monitoring it.
The World Health Organization warned about XBB.1.16 last month and labeled it a “variant of monitoring,” a designation that isn’t as serious as a “variant of interest.” However, that status could change if the variant shows signs of increased transmissibility or virulence, or is able to evade antibodies, the WHO noted.
XBB.1.16 has now been detected in at least 29 countries, including the U.S. and it is expanding its reach fairly quickly. In late February, XBB.1.16 accounted for only 0.21% of all COVID-19 cases worldwide. A month later, that had increased to 3.96%, according to the WHO’s latest figures.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention began reporting cases of XBB.1.16 last Friday. According to the latest CDC data, the variant now accounts for 7% of new COVID-19 cases nationwide.
Here’s what to know about “Arcturus,” or XBB.1.16
XBB.1.16 is a sublineage of the Omicron variant that’s similar to XBB.1.5, the strain that has dominated infections in the U.S. since January. But XBB.1.16, the WHO noted, has a mutation in the virus’s spike protein that has been associated with increased transmissibility and potentially a higher degree of infection. However, some experts have said that while it looks like it could spread more quickly and lead to more cases, it doesn’t appear to cause more severe disease.
In India, the variant has led to a surge in COVID-19 cases in recent weeks. On Tuesday, India's Health Ministry reported 61,233 COVID-19 cases, which is a notable increase from the 15,208 cases that were reported on March 31. However, hospitalizations have not surged significantly.
“I doubt it will lead to too many new hospitalizations or deaths,” Dr. Monica Gandhi, an infectious disease specialist and a professor of medicine at the University of California, San Francisco, told Yahoo News. “I was just in India. ... There was an increase in cases but not an increase in hospitalizations,” she added.
Gandhi explained that the coronavirus won’t be fully eradicated, so it will continue to evolve and new forms of it will continue to emerge. However, she said new variants won't necessarily become more dangerous. She added that most of the population has immunity from either the vaccines, infection, or both, and that will continue to protect most individuals against the worst outcomes of the disease.
“I think this is where we are. We're gonna have to live with this [virus] and we're going to see cases go up and down if we get a new subvariant that's more transmissible, but hopefully, it will not lead to an increase in severe disease,” Gandhi said.
According to anecdotal reports coming from India and other parts of the world, including the U.S., XBB.1.16 may cause a new COVID-19 symptom not seen with previous coronavirus strains. Some doctors have said the new variant seems to be causing conjunctivitis, often called pink eye, in children and adolescents.
In a recent tweet, Vipin M. Vashishtha, an Indian pediatrician who is also a member of the WHO's Vaccine Safety Net program, said he had started to get pediatric COVID-19 cases again, and more children who are sick with XBB.1.16 are experiencing “itchy conjunctivitis with sticky eyes.”
The Mayo Clinic also reported on Thursday that experts are seeing the same eye symptoms in young patients who are sick with COVID-19.
Dr. Michael Chang, a pediatric infectious diseases expert at UTHealth Houston and Children's Memorial Hermann Hospital, told Yahoo News that many things can cause pink eye. He said that at the moment there’s not enough evidence to say that the new COVID variant is causing conjunctivitis in children.
“We don't have the context of whether they're seeing that in some of the regions in India. We know their COVID cases are going up, and presumably, these kids are testing positive for COVID, but we don't know if they're testing positive for anything else either,” Chang said.
He explained that other viruses can cause conjunctivitis. Adenovirus, which can cause a mild cold or flu-like illness and can be easily confused with COVID-19, is one of them. Cases of adenovirus tend to increase in the spring and summer, and Chang said doctors in the U.S. are seeing more of it these days.
“We are seeing adenovirus circulating, so even if COVID cases go up, unless you're doing testing for both COVID and adenovirus, which most people aren't … it may be difficult [to determine] what's causing your pink eye.”
When a new variant of the coronavirus emerges, one concern that arises is whether our current vaccines will protect us against that strain.
It is too early to know how well the COVID-19 vaccines neutralize XBB.1.16. However, some experts believe the shots should remain effective at preventing severe illness and death, even if XBB.1.16 is found to be able to evade antibodies from vaccines. Gandhi explained that this is because, aside from antibodies, there are other parts of the immune system that are activated with vaccination and infection, such as B cells and T cells, which can also offer long-lasting protection against the virus.
Although there’s no reason to be concerned right now, Gandhi said that whenever there’s a new, more transmissible variant, people who are older and those who are immunocompromised are at the highest risk for complications. She urged those groups to stay up to date with vaccination, particularly getting the bivalent booster if they haven’t received it yet.
“If you're in an older or vulnerable group, if you are someone who is over 65 or on immunosuppressants or have multiple comorbidities, just go out and get a booster,” she said.
On Tuesday, the FDA authorized a second dose of the bivalent COVID-19 vaccine for seniors and immunocompromised people. The CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices — a group of outside experts who advise the agency on vaccines — is scheduled to meet on Wednesday to discuss the strategy. If these experts recommend the shots, CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky is likely to sign off on their use and they could become available as early as this week.
