In a case that reveals the faultlines in the judicial system, a 21-year-old man who allegedly raped an 11-year-old girl and gave her an STD, but all he got as punishment was supervised probation. The case took place in Springfield, Missouri and the accused is a man named Joseph Meili. It all started when Meili contacted the girl using an app called 'Meet Me'. The girl used the app on her mother's phone. After exchanging a number of messages, the girl finally agreed to meet the man one early morning on July 16.

Pentagon: Iran Attack Against U.S. Drone Was ‘Unprovoked’

A U.S. commanding general in the Middle East said an attack by Iran on a U.S. drone conducting a surveillance mission in international airspace was “an unprovoked attack.”

“This was an unprovoked attack on a U.S. surveillance asset that had not violated Iranian airspace at any time during its mission,” said Air Force Lt. Gen. Joseph Guastella, commander of U.S. Air Forces Central Command.

“This attack is an attempt to disrupt our ability to monitor the area following recent threats to international shipping and free flow of commerce,” he added

He also said Iran’s attack possibly endangered innocent civilians.

“This dangerous and escalatory attack was irresponsible and occurred in the vicinity of established air corridors between Dubai, UAE, and Muscat Oman, possibly endangering innocent civilians,” he said.

Guastella said a U.S. Navy RQ-4 was flying over the Gulf of Oman and the Strait of Hormuz on a surveillance mission in international airspace near recent Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) maritime attacks, when it was shot down by an IRGC surface-to-air missile fired from a location near Goruk, Iran.

He added that reports the aircraft was shot down over Iran are “categorically false.”

“The aircraft was over the Strait of Hormuz and fell into international waters. At the time of the intercept, the RQ-4 was operating at high-altitude approximately 34 kilometers from the nearest point of land on the Iranian coast,” he said.

Guastella read the statement to Pentagon reporters via a telephone conference, but did not take questions.

The statement came after President Trump tweeted, “Iran made a very big mistake!”

Netanyahu urges support for U.S. against Iran's 'aggression'

"I repeat my call for all peace-loving countries to stand by the United States in its effort to stop Iranian aggression," Netanyahu said in a statement.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday called on the international community to support the United States against Iran as tensions between the two countries escalated after the downing of a U.S. drone by Iran.

In the last 24 hours, Iran has intensified its aggression against the United States and against all of us. I repeat my call for all peace-loving countries to stand by the United States in its effort to stop Iranians’ aggression. Israel stands by the United States on this. pic.twitter.com/dansjewMrU

— PM of Israel (@IsraeliPM) June 20, 2019

"In the last 24 hours Iran has intensified its aggression against the United States and against all of us. And I repeat my call for all peace-loving countries to stand by the United States in its effort to stop Iranian aggression," Netanyahu said in a statement. "Israel stands by the United States on this."

U.S. President Donald Trump said Iran made "a very big mistake" by shooting down a U.S. military drone that Tehran said was on a spy mission over its territory, in an incident that fanned fears of wider military conflict in the Middle East.

Asked how the United States will respond, Trump told reporters, "You'll find out."

Last month an Israeli minister warned of possible direct or proxy Iranian attacks on Israel should the stand-off between Tehran and Washington escalate.

Asked if Israel’s armed forces were on any changed alert status given Trump’s statement on Iran, an Israeli military spokesman said they were not.

U.S. National Security Advisor John Bolton will meet Netanyahu in Israel on June 23.

Oregon Senate Republicans Flee State In Protest Of Cap and Trade Bill, Denying Dems Quorum, Governor Dispatches Police to Arrest Them

A state version of cap and trade has been making its way through the Oregon legislature this year. The bill passed the House last week, with two democrats joining the republicans in a futile effort to oppose it. Now that the bill is in the state Senate, all 11 republicans who make up the minority have apparently fled the state in order to deny the democrats a quorum so that no business can take place on the Senate floor.

After pleading with republicans to return, the democrats have asked Governor Kate Brown to exercise her authority to dispatch the state police to arrest the missing republicans and forcibly drag them to the capitol building.

The Oregonian reports:

Oregon’s Democratic governor, Kate Brown, has dispatched state troopers to find missing Republican senators and bring them back to Salem to legislate.

All 11 Republican senators are in hiding, at least some of them out of state, in order to prevent the Senate from having the quorum it needs to operate. They can’t abide the Democrat-backed carbon cap and spend bill that is up for a Senate vote today.

When Republicans failed to show up on the Senate floor for today’s 11 a.m. session, Senate President Peter Courtney of Salem, a Democrat, asked the sergeant at arms to search the Capitol for the missing lawmakers. That search proved fruitless.

In response to the walkout, Courtney formally requested that Brown dispatch Oregon State Police troopers to round up the missing Republicans.

Brown quickly granted that request. “It is absolutely unacceptable that the Senate Republicans would turn their back on their constituents who they are honor-bound to represent here in this building,” she said in a statement. “They need to return and do the jobs they were elected to do.”

Speaking on the partially vacant Senate floor, Courtney said, “I apologize to the citizens for taking (state troopers) off the streets to look for (missing lawmakers).”

Oregon’s constitution allows the majority party to “compel” the attendance of absent members of the legislature. The process is rarely used, though.

In 2001, Oregon Senate Democrats walked out and hid to stop a vote on a Republican legislative redistricting bill. They stayed away, bringing Senate business to a halt, for almost a week.
