Swedish artist who drew anger for 2007 Islamic cartoon killed in car wreck

Vilks died Sunday when the vehicle he was riding in crashed in southern Sweden. Two police bodyguards also died, officials said.

 

Police said the vehicle crashed into an oncoming truck and both caught fire near the town of Markaryd. The cause is under investigation.

 

Officials said the driver of the truck was hospitalized with serious injuries.

 

Investigators said at a briefing Monday that it doesn't appear that the crash resulted from any criminal activity. They said they're looking into the possibility that a tire on one of the vehicles blew.

 

Vilks, 75, drew controversy and anger worldwide for his cartoon, which featured the prophet Muhammad's head on a dog's body. The outcry effectively forced him into hiding and he eventually required police protection.

‘No longer being a Democrat is the right thing’: Andrew Yang explains departure from Democratic Party after two election failures

 

https://www.rt.com/usa/536563-andrew-yang-leaves-democrats/

 

Former US presidential candidate Andrew Yang announced his “strangely emotional experience” of leaving the Democratic Party on Monday, just a day before his new book went on sale, claiming that he feels more like an independent.

In a statement titled “Breaking up with the Democratic Party,” Yang revealed that he’d changed his official voting registration from Democrat to Independent.

 

“I registered as a Democrat back in 1995 when I was 20 years old to vote for Bill Clinton’s re-election. It was a no-brainer for me,” Yang wrote, noting that he “went to a college that was very liberal” and that everyone he knew in New York City was a Democrat.

Joe Biden’s dire warning: a ‘meteor’ is headed to tank the US economy

 

https://www.theage.com.au/world/north-america/joe-biden-s-dire-warning-a-meteor-is-headed-to-tank-the-us-economy-20211005-p58x7e.html

 

Washington: President Joe Biden has warned that a “meteor” will crash into the US economy if Republicans continue to block efforts to raise the US debt ceiling, blasting his political opponents for deploying “hypocritical, dangerous and disgraceful” tactics.

 

The US federal government is set to run out of money on October 18, a development financial analysts warn would wipe out millions of jobs, crash the stock market and devastate American economic growth.

In a letter to Biden, McConnell said there was a real risk the US government could “sleepwalk toward an avoidable catastrophe”.

 

“Republicans’ position is simple,” McConnell wrote. “We have no list of demands. For two and a half months, we have simply warned that since your party wishes to govern alone, it must handle the debt limit alone as well.”

Ohio Human Trafficking Operation Results In 161 Arrests, Recovery Of 10 Missing Children

 

https://news.wosu.org/news/2021-10-04/ohio-human-trafficking-operation-results-in-161-arrests-recovery-of-10-missing-children

 

A week-long human trafficking sting across Ohio last week has led to the arrest of 161 men who were men who were attempting to buy sex and the recovery of 10 missing children.

 

The men arrested included a city council member, a firefighter, a teacher, a professor and a pilot, Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost said during a press conference Monday to reveal the results from Operation Ohio Knows.

 

Three of the men arrested were attempting to buy sex from someone they believed to be a minor.

 

“This is the largest human trafficking sting in the history of the state to date,” he said.

 

The operation also resulted in 50 arrests of men and women offering to sell sex. Law enforcement officers interviewed 51 potential human trafficking victims, who were provided services from health care and social services organizations.

 

While Yost acknowledged arrests as a key part of solving the issue of human trafficking, he went on to say, “we cannot arrest our way out of human trafficking.” Yost said while Operation Ohio focused on the buying of sex, he highlighted the need to reduce the demand for purchased sex.

 

“If there is no market, if there are no buyers, there will be no trafficking,” Yost said. “Reducing the demand means we reduce the number of people who are victimized by human trafficking.”

 

Yost also thanked the human and social service agencies who worked alongside law enforcement to aid human trafficking victims.

According to The Verge, this outage appears to have been caused by Facebook’s domain name system (DNS) having issues. There are also rumors swirling of somebody hijacking the company’s DNS records, with screenshots showing that the domain Facebook.com is for sale. ((🤣🤣))

 

So in case you were in the middle of convincing your uncle to get the COVID vaccine or wishing your high school ex a happy birthday, take a well-deserved break.
