Crime

A 1933 statue on the facade of the central-London headquarters of the BBC, created by a prominent British artist who was claimed to have sexually abused children and a dog, was vandalised with a hammer by a protester on Wednesday. The incident comes just days after a group in another British city were cleared of criminal damage for toppling a statue of a controversial historical figure and throwing it into a harbour.

A man leant an aluminium extending ladder against the front of the London headquarters of state broadcaster the BBC Wednesday evening, allowing him to climb to the decorate stringpiece level with the bottom of statue Prospero and Ariel, which he chipped pieces from with a lump hammer while police watched from below. Also scrawled on the statues were the messages “time to go was 1989”, and “noose all peados [sic]”.

The statue is one of several works on and in the BBC’s Broadcasting House by Eric Gill, who died in 1940. Gill, a favourite of British elite tastes in his own time and whose stylistic influence helped mould the aesthetic of 20th century Britain, was revealed in a biography after his death to have been a sexual abuser who raped his own teenage daughters, sister, and family dog.

Hispanics made a lot of progress during the Tough on Crime Era of the early 1990s up through Ferguson in 2014. But the slovenly 2020s have revealed some worrisome trends about this giant and fast-growing population.

CDC WONDER data on homicides and traffic accident deaths have now been released through the end of 2022. Weekly totals are available for 2018-2022. Here are raw motor vehicle accident death totals (not rates) for blacks vs. Hispanics:

There are about 50% more Hispanics than blacks in the U.S. lately, so during the first period (1/1/2018 to 3/14/2020), in which both blacks and Hispanics averaged 118 road deaths per week, was actually a period in which the Hispanic fatality rate on the roads was only about 2/3rds as bad per capita as the black rate.

During the COVID/pre–George Floyd period of 3/15/2020 to 5/23/2020, Hispanic road deaths went down while black road deaths went up slightly. Then in June 2020, the prime month of the Mostly Peaceful Protests, black traffic fatalities hit peaks. Hispanic deaths shot upward, too, but lagged black deaths through the first half of the 2021. By 2022, Hispanics were routinely dying more on the streets and highways (at least in raw terms, not adjusted for per capita).

All in all, whites are dying per week 13% more on the road in the George Floyd Era than in the Good Old Days before COVID, while blacks are dying 36% more and Hispanics 33% more. The black trend is at least moving in the right direction, but Hispanics got worse over the latter part of 2021 and 2022.

Two girls aged ten and 11 say they were sexually assaulted in the sea off Bournemouth beach yesterday.

Officers were called at 3.45pm to reports a man had touched the girls inappropriately while they were swimming near the pier.

Dorset Police said they arrested a 43-year-old man from London on suspicion of sexual assault.

The girls' allegations are the latest reports of sexual assault in the seaside town.

Earlier this month, police said they were looking for a group of men after a 17-year-old boy claimed he was sexually assaulted in the sea.

Meanwhile, a 19-year-old man is awaiting trial after a 15-year-old claimed he raped her in the sea in front of thousands of holidaymakers.

A spokesman for Dorset Police said today: 'Detectives are appealing for witnesses or anyone with information to come forward as they investigate two reported sexual assaults at Bournemouth Beach.

'We received a report at 3.45pm on Sunday of a disturbance in the area of Pier Approach. Officers attended and it was reported that two girls - aged ten and 11 years - had been touched inappropriately by a man when they were in the sea near to the pier.

'Following inquiries, a 43-year-old London man was arrested on suspicion of sexual assault.'

Detective Constable Cameron Carter, of Bournemouth CID, said: 'We are carrying out a detailed investigation into these incidents and I am keen to hear from anyone who witnessed what happened who has not already spoken to police.

In the apartment of the activist of the Sparks Movement, marked by the name of András Jámbor, investigators found nearly three hundred recordings showing the sexual abuse and rape of children under the age of twelve, including two or three years old, Magyar Nemzet learned from a police source. According to our information, almost seventy thousand pornographic recordings were also stored on the seized data carriers, which apparently show people under the age of eighteen.

Our information has not been officially confirmed by the Budapest Police Headquarters, and due to the interests of the investigation, they did not wish to provide information on the case beyond their previous statement.

As a result, police raided several places. Investigators also appeared at Krisztina D., a member of the Sparks Movement, and according to information provided by Metropol, the storage media on which stomach-churning pornographic images were stored were seized at the woman's home. Krisztina D. was questioned in connection with the Antifa attacks, but is no longer a suspect in the proceedings.

In recent weeks, we have asked BRFK a number of questions about the paedophile scandal. According to police, the seized photographs showed "torture of a person under the age of 12" and the use of force. BRFK said that "the recordings that were the subject of the crime were found on the IT devices of a Hungarian man, who, however, was not a suspect in the series of crimes known as the Antifa attack at any stage of the proceedings." The police are investigating a well-founded suspicion of a child pornography crime.

Four children living in squalid conditions while being hidden from first responders were found in an apartment filled with “alcohol, drugs, sex toys” and a dead man, according to an incident report and outraged officials.

“This is sickening,” said At-Large City Councilor Michael Flaherty. “I was informed by people at the scene that there were drugs, alcohol, sex toys all around the apartment as well as a dead body on the floor.”

That fire department report, obtained by the Herald and confirmed by police response, states that a BFD crew was sent to Old Colony Avenue Saturday morning for a call that a man had gone into cardiac arrest and required medical attention. That address is the Mary Ellen McCormack Housing complex run by the city.

However, according to the incident report, firefighters found more than just a routine medical emergency.

“The apartment was in extremely unsanitary conditions. Approximately 6 adults, who appeared to be males, were seen in the apartment,” they wrote, saying they subsequently found “four children in the back bedroom being hidden by an adult male from first responders.”

According to the incident report the children ranged from ages 5 to 10.

“All of the adult parties were being uncooperative and did not provide helpful information. All adults present denied having children inside the apartment,” they wrote.

Fire crews say they filed a “51A form with the appropriate state agency.”

A 51A form is available for download from the Massachusetts Department of Children and Families and is titled “Report of Child(ren) Alleged to be Suffering from Abuse or Neglect.”

A spokesperson for DCF could not be reached to comment on the disposition of the children due to the Juneteenth federal holiday, though the agency does not typically comment on their work.

The fire crews, according to the incident report, performed CPR on the person in cardiac arrest, who apparently died. The Boston Police Department is investigating. A fire department spokesman confirmed a call came in for that address.

“At about 11:11 AM, on Saturday, June 17th, officers responded to the area of 381 Old Colony Avenue for a death investigation. District Detectives handling, not suspicious, no further information,” a BPD spokesperson told the Herald.

It is unclear whether the children were relatives of the people the fire department described as “appearing to be male” or if they lived in the apartment.

Flaherty, Public Safety chairman on the council, told the Herald Monday night the dead body found on the floor was “from an apparent overdose” and that “a man wearing a wig claiming to be the father” of the kids was found in a back bedroom.

Multiple sources tell the Herald some of the adults were dressed as women when first responders arrived at the scene.

The 44-year-old mother of three born children originally pleaded not guilty but ultimately pleaded guilty in March under the Offences against the Person Act. She will serve just half of her 28-month sentence in custody and for the other half, she will be released under certain conditions. There are no sentencing guidelines for such a case, but the maximum sentence she faced was life in prison.

A sweeping law could see Australians jailed for three years for posting what’s deemed ‘offensive’ on Facebook in an attempt to protect minority groups.

Queensland’s Labor government has introduced a bill that would dramatically increase the maximum prison sentence for racist, anti-gay, anti-trans or seriously bigoted statements.

Making such statements already carry a maximum six-month jail term, but that would be increased to three years under the new bill.

The main reason why AT&T, T-Mobile, and many other stores, such as Office Depot, The Container Store, Anthropologie, Whole Foods, Disney Store, Armani Exchange, CB2, Saks Off 5th, and others, are closing up shop is that progressive city leadership failed to enforce law and order, sparking a tsunami theft wave.
