5岁孩子被猎豹叼走 母亲狂追1公里肉搏救下

母亲到底可以多伟大？印度一名母亲就向人们展示了母爱的力量足以让一名女子同猛兽肉搏。
据外媒报道，11月28日，印度中央邦一5岁孩子被猎豹叼走，孩子母亲在黑暗中追击猎豹一公里，与其肉搏，最终成功豹口救子。
当日下午约7点左右，这位名为基兰·拜加（Kiran Baiga）的母亲正在棚屋外的火堆旁坐着工作，膝上放着个几个月大的孩子。她5岁大的儿子拉胡尔和另两个孩子就坐在一旁。这时，一头猎豹从傍边闪电般冲出叼走了拉胡尔。这名母亲跳了起来，把膝上的孩子交给一旁的大孩子，叮嘱他们呆在棚屋里，自己尖叫着追了上去。
基兰在黑暗中追了约一公里，赶上猎豹的时候，只见豹子坐在灌木丛里，她的儿子还在豹子口中，被其爪子抓着。她拿起一根棍子就打，豹子也向她发起袭击。她抓住猎豹的爪子与其搏斗了起来。随后，其他村民也赶到了现场。猎豹丢下了这对母子逃进了森林。
这名母亲受了伤，失去了意识，最后在医院里醒来。孩子被猎豹叼走的时候，因牙齿嵌入其肌肉，造成眼睛、脸颊、下巴和背部受伤。母子俩都在医院接受了治疗，孩子目前已经康复。
这名母亲随后接受采访的时候说道，他们住在桑杰-杜布里国家公园及老虎保护区（Sanjay-Dubri National Park and Tiger Reserve）的缓冲区，像这样的事情经常发生。尽管这里被命名为老虎保护区，但住着各种野生动物，光是哺乳动物就有32种，其中就包括猎豹。当地居民长期生活在对猎豹的恐惧中。今年2月，一名12岁女孩跟母亲一起在森林里捡柴的时候就被一头豹子杀死。
桑杰-杜布里国家公园及老虎保护区的地方主任辛格（Y P Singh）回应称，野生动物团队在监控这一区域，但要追踪每一头动物的每一个行动是不可能的。猎豹才不管哪里是什么核心区或缓冲区，对它们来说根本不存在界线。
在中央邦，致死性的猎豹袭击相对常见。11月22日，一名10岁男孩和小伙伴们一起在外玩耍的时候就被袭击致死。据当地警方称，这群孩子看见猎豹后试图逃走，但其中一名孩子被猎豹拖进了森林。10月里还有一名50岁女性在地里干活的时候被杀，另有一名16岁未成年在森林区域被袭击而死。
“如果没有这名母亲的拼死相搏，这孩子的性命就丢了”。中央邦的首席部长希夫拉杰·辛格·乔汉（Shivraj Singh Chouhan）也在社交媒体上赞叹道：“这种直面死亡的勇气是一种令人惊异的母性的表现形式。代表本邦民众向这位母亲道贺。”
新闻人间：朝鲜人朱贤健 在中国监牢避难

一个朝鲜人两次逃亡，一次从朝鲜逃到中国，一次在中国越狱。
如电影般的逃逸画面，再加上疑为朝鲜特种兵的身份，让他的故事牵动无数中国网民的心，同情似乎多于苛责。
Nov 30, 2021
11月28日，吉林监狱服刑人员朱贤健在丰满区松花湖黑瞎子沟被捕。30日，记者来到押送朱贤健的船只上，据驾驶员谢船头称，当时船上有八位民警。抓捕时枪响了四声，有两枪往天上放的，“想震慑他”。谢船头妻子称，自己家另一艘船上的酒和榨菜被偷，后在朱贤健曾藏匿过的涵洞内发现了上述丢失的东西。
On November 28, Zhu Xianjian, a prisoner of Jilin prison, was arrested in heiblind ditch, Songhua Lake, Fengman District. On the 30th, the reporter came to the ship escorting Zhu Xianjian. According to the driver Xie bow, there were eight police on board at that time. During the arrest, there were four shots, two of which were fired into the sky, “trying to frighten him”. Xie Chuantou’s wife said that the wine and pickled mustard on another ship of her family were stolen, and the above lost things were found in the culvert where Zhu Xianjian had hidden.
39岁的朱贤健在2013年7月非法入境中国。因犯偷越国境罪、盗窃罪、抢劫罪，数罪并罚，被判坐牢11年又三个月，刑满后将驱逐出境。但他狱中表现良好，获两次减刑，刑期提前在2023年8月21日止。
相信是害怕不到两年刑满后将被送回朝鲜，朱贤健动了越狱保命念头。10月18日，他逃出吉林监狱，越狱视频网上流传，其翻墙落地的敏捷身手让网民啧啧称奇。
网传的监控视频显示，他从监狱地面爬上雨棚，拿出绳索大力拉扯，疑似将电网损坏，过程中多次冒出火花。之后翻越铁丝网围墙，从高处跳落地面，躺约10秒就站起来小跑，整个过程行云流水，只花约三分钟。吉林天寒地冻，朱贤健一只脚光秃秃没穿鞋，可见求生欲望和技能都极强。

【吉林省吉林监狱发布悬赏通告罪犯朱贤健强行脱逃下落不明】
#吉林监狱悬赏15万抓捕脱逃重刑犯#吉林省吉林监狱发布悬赏通告，全文如下：
2021年10月18日18时许，吉林监狱罪犯朱贤健利用收工时间，通过攀爬AB门雨棚翻至监墙，强行脱逃，目前下落不明。
朱贤健，男，1982年10月13日出生，身高160cm，主要特征：单眼皮，瓜子脸，小眼睛，逃跑时身穿监狱劳动服，内穿深色线衣线裤。注：该人无户口信息。
请广大群众注意发现并积极举报，凡是提供线索协助抓捕犯罪嫌疑人的，奖励人民币十万元；凡是提供线索直接抓捕犯罪嫌疑人的，奖励人民币十五万元；凡是知情不报、窝藏、包庇犯罪嫌疑人的将依法追究法律责任 。
警方悬赏抓捕朱贤健的金额从15万元人民币一路增至70万。逃亡41天后，据说因偷窃时留下一个烟头暴露行踪，最后在吉林松花湖黑瞎子沟的一个废弃景区内被抓，腿部还挨了子弹。
有媒体报道称，朱贤健曾服役朝鲜特种部队，消息虽未经官方证实，但网民看了他飞檐走壁的好身手都信了。
据披露，朱贤健出生在朝鲜普通农民家庭，曾接受四年特种部队训练，因姐姐“脱北”逃往韩国，全家受株连，他被送到新星郡龙北煤矿劳改。在劳改九年后，2013年7月从图们江越境逃入中国吉林。
Dec 3, 2021
朱贤健的悲惨遭遇说到这里很是让人同情。
但是，在逃到中国不到一天，他就干了三起案件，不只偷窃，还拿刀捅伤人，导致一位老人失血性休克。
同情朱贤健的中国网民坚持，他是“无辜的，更是被逼的”“只是生错地方被迫走上绝路”，希望他能“被遣送韩国”。甚至，一度传出朱贤健可能逃到蒙古国的消息时，有网民祝他顺利逃脱。但也有好些人痛斥朱贤健重伤无辜，批评同情者是“白痴圣母”，并质问“道德制高点该凌驾于法律之上？”
在热议声中，70万悬赏金被谁拿走也引来关注。长春有三名男子一度传是得主，被网友诅咒没命花后，赶紧辟谣撇清非举报人。
Dec 3, 2021
朱贤健可能都不知道自己值70万。他只想活着，生命是无价的。
反讽的是，那个不自由的牢房，却是他苦命人生的避风港。只要继续被关在中国监狱，就还能活命，一旦获释被遣返朝鲜，等待他的极可能是死亡或极度酷刑，这相信也是拨动中国网民同情共鸣心弦的原因。
有人说，对朱贤健投入的关注折射出中国民众对苦难者的怜悯之心，体现出中国人普遍还是善良的。也有人认为，中国人从朱贤健身上看到中国经历饥荒、文革等苦日子的过往，自己生活好起来了，看到别人过得艰难，心底开始莫名善良。
Dec 3, 2021
无论如何，对于朝鲜这个既陌生又熟悉的邻居，任何相关新闻似乎总能引起中国网民的关注，并引发各种探究。
朱贤健的故事如何续写还不知道，一直在中国吃牢饭或如网民所说被遣送韩国或许较为安全，但他已不是自身命运的主人。
有人无限感慨地说：“如果他投胎时再偏一点点，一点点就好，可能就是完全不一样的人生了。”
脱北逃犯朱贤健的悲剧人生：他，只是想活下去

01
逃犯朱贤健被抓获的消息在网上被刷屏了。
朱贤健是谁，大家看我从中国裁判文书网截取的一份刑事裁定书就知道了。
朱贤健，1982年10月13日出生，朝鲜民主主义人民共和国公民，2013年7月21日非法越境到中国境内，后被法院以偷越国境罪、抢劫罪、盗窃罪判处有期徒刑11年3个月，并处罚金16000元，驱逐出境。
因在监狱表现良好，经过两次减刑，朱贤健将于2023年8月21日刑满释放，然后被驱逐回朝鲜。
还有一年多就要重获自由了，对那些在监狱数着指头度日的劳改犯来说，这应该是一件很值得期待的事。
而且按照朱贤健之前减刑情况来看，他刑满释放前有可能还有第三次被减刑，也就意味着他会被提前释放。
可是，就在即将刑满释放之际，朱贤健却做了一件震惊国人之事：越狱。
那些只能在电视上看到的画面，却在朱贤健身上发生了。
网上热传的一段视频显示，18日晚18时许可，朱贤健身穿监狱号服，动作轻盈地跃上避雨棚大门，再纵身抓住屋檐，动作轻盈地登上屋顶。又奔跑数秒，从地上抓起一根木棍干扰高压电网，只见电网激起火花，他马上脚踩电缆上的绝缘磁鼓，走到高墙的铁丝网边上，纵身翻墙逃跑。
整个过程如行云流水般，一气呵成。
恍惚间，以为是金庸的武侠小说里面的武林高手再世。
Oct 19, 2021
可能有些人想不明白马上就要刑满释放了，为何还要越狱？
对朱贤健来说，蹲监狱并不可怕，可怕的是被驱逐出境，遣返回朝鲜。
在朝鲜，偷渡相当于叛国，是重罪。
朝鲜对叛国者的处罚就是枪毙，而且在临死之前还要遭受非人的折磨。
并且，一人偷渡，全家连坐。
因此，在中国服刑可以活下去，被驱逐出境回到朝鲜就没命了。
02
关于朱贤健的身世与家庭，我看到有一种说法，说朱贤健是特种兵，因为姐姐一家逃到韩国，他作为叛国者的家属，被连坐，他和他的父母被抓。于是，特种部队服役4年的朱贤健被遣往煤矿劳动改造，那里，暗无天日，受尽折磨。
从朱贤健在监狱身手敏捷地跨越电网成功脱逃，以及出逃后在天寒地冻的恶劣环境中居然生存了一个多月，可以看出朱贤健受过严格的专业训练，野外生存能力非常强。
因此说朱贤健是特种兵还是有依据的，如果不是特种兵出身，普通人不可能有那样的技能。
一审的判决书显示，朱贤健的准确身份是朝鲜龙北炭矿工人，住朝鲜咸境北道京原郡龙北1区4班。
根据判决书，可以确定朱贤健偷越到中国前的身份是矿工。
从一个特种兵到矿工的转变，朱贤健因他姐姐被连坐从特种兵沦为阶下囚的说法可信度还是很高的。
03
按照我国刑法的规定，脱逃罪处五年以下有期徒刑或者拘役。
经过两次减刑，朱贤健原来的刑期至2023年8月21日，朱贤健10月18日脱逃，余下的刑期不到两年。
对朱贤健的处罚，需要将未执行完毕的余刑和脱逃罪的刑期，进行数罪并罚。
因此，我预测朱贤健最多还有六年多的刑期。
刑满后，到时他还是要面临被遣返回朝鲜的问题。
无法逃脱的命运。
如果朱贤健不是出生在朝鲜，以他的身手，找一份保安的工作养活自己绰绰有余。
可是，一个人的出生，却无法选择。
朱贤健在出生国的遭遇，让人觉得可怜，可是他在中国犯下的的罪行，必须受到惩罚。
我们恐惧的不自由，可是对朱贤健来说，却是他活下去的唯一出路。
在这个世上，有些人只是活着，就已花光所有的力气。
网络主播立功？越狱的朱贤健“栽”在了谁手上

越狱41天，偷船、偷麻花、偷酒……最终被村民发现。
11月28日，吉林监狱脱逃罪犯朱贤健逃脱41天后被吉林警方抓获。
朱贤健是如何落网的？
Nov 28, 2021
据“新京报我们视频”报道，曾协助警方搜捕的网络主播“白鲢小王子（鲢鳙战队）”表示，朱贤健藏身在松花湖边看鱼塘的小房子里，“我们前几天有发现线索”，之后就报警了。该主播还表示，自己配合了抓捕。
落网之前朱贤健做过什么？
据多家媒体报道，朱贤健在被抓前，曾偷盗村民的食物等物品。
据澎湃新闻报道，抓捕现场的一名村民表示，有渔民的船只被偷；红星新闻称，朱贤健曾偷窃麻花等食物；中宏网新闻称，有村民说，自己的半桶白酒、一瓶饮料被偷……
Nov 29, 2021
松花湖黑瞎子沟一名村民表示，村民发现有东西丢失后，在松花湖景区一处涵洞（暖气沟）发现有人生活的痕迹，涵洞里面有被褥、碗筷、烟等物品。
这位村民还提到，这个涵洞里潮湿寒冷，但比在户外生存条件要好一些，他估计朱贤健在此处生活了四天左右。在朱贤健被抓捕前，村民就发现附近的雪地上有人的脚印。
逃犯落网前，警方也一直提醒村民，若发现朱贤健，需及时报警。
警方多次悬赏
10月18日，吉林监狱罪犯朱贤健利用收工时间，通过攀爬AB门雨棚翻至监墙，强行脱逃。从现场流出的视频可以看到，朱贤健攀爬AB门上到了雨棚顶部，随后跳下监墙，片刻后便从监控探头中消失。
朱贤健从吉林监狱脱逃后，警方先后发布悬赏通告，悬赏金额也从10万提高到70万。
Nov 30, 2021
吉林市公安局公众号10月19日发布的消息，吉林省吉林监狱发布悬赏通告：凡是提供线索协助抓捕犯罪嫌疑人的，奖励人民币十万元；凡是提供线索直接抓捕犯罪嫌疑人的，奖励人民币十五万元。
11月16日，辽宁丹东宽甸自治县公安局发布悬赏通告称，凡提供线索直接抓捕罪犯朱贤健，奖励70万元。
Nov 29, 2021
媒体检索发现，朱贤健曾因犯偷越国境罪、盗窃、抢劫罪，数罪并罚，被判处有期徒刑十一年三个月，并处罚金16000元，驱逐出境。此后，朱贤健两次获得减刑，刑期本应于2023年8月21日为止。
网友：这下放心了。
悬赏70万人民币 吉林北韩逃犯朱贤健 逃狱41天后被捕
中国新闻组
11/28/2021
环球时报报导，从中国吉林监狱越狱的北韩籍逃犯朱贤健，在逃了41天后，于28日在吉林丰满被捕。朱贤健在此前因为矫健的逃狱身手，以及悬赏金高达人民币70万（约11万美元），引起当地民众高度关注。
Oct 19, 2021 | 天天新闻
根据刑事判决书，朱贤健是北韩籍，2013年7月21日非法越境，隔天就进入村民家中行窃，在被发现后持刀行凶，造成一名被害人重伤，其后又进入另外两户人家行窃后被捕。
2014年3月25日，延吉市人民法院依偷越国境罪、盗窃罪、抢劫罪，数罪并罚，判决朱贤健有期徒刑11年3个月，处罚金1万6000元（约2500美元），驱逐出境。
服刑期间，朱贤健曾两次获得减刑，分别减去有期徒刑六个月和八个月。按此推算，他将在服刑一年多后被遣返回北韩。「脱北者」被遣返后通常下场凄惨，多遭枪毙。
美华人遭3名非裔抢劫…他开枪回击 劫匪尖叫逃窜
文章来源: 红星新闻
11/21/2021
据警方透露，当地时间周六凌晨（20 日），美国费城梅菲尔区的一名非裔男子在持枪抢劫一名华人男性未遂后死亡。
事故发生在晚上 12 点 15 分左右，一名华人优步司机在 Sackett 街附近的 Longshore 大道下车准备回家时，三名非裔男子拿着枪指向他，试图抢劫。
Nov 20, 2021
1 dead, 1 wounded and 1 arrested 2021/11/20 12:15 a.m at 3200 block of Longshore Avenue.
A Chinese Uber food delivery driver who has a license to carry a concealed weapon in front of his house was robbed by 3 young men and fought back.
费城东北区Mayfair，一名华人男子晚上12:15在送餐工作结束回家在自家门前，正要进入家门时，被3名年轻黑人尾随，其中2人各持1把手枪顶在后背抢劫。华人男子称钱在车上，趁一名劫匪反身去车内取钱的时候，连续开枪反击，共打出12发子弹。据警局报道，该华人男子有合法持枪许可。
3名劫匪虽然持枪，但没有意识到突如其来的反击，吓得仓皇逃窜。最后击毙一人，重伤一人，这2人年龄为20岁出头，剩余一人（17、18岁）现在已经被警局收押。
从现场视频看，这名华人男子最初十分 ” 顺从 “，并试图表现出无助的样子。在劫匪放松警惕之际，他趁机掏出自己的手枪，向三名劫匪开枪，造成 1 人死亡，2 人受伤。视频中可以听到一名劫匪尖叫道：” 拜托！（Please）”。
警方表示，其中一名男子胸部中了数枪，于凌晨 4 点 59 分在杰斐逊 – 托雷斯代尔医院被宣布死亡。另一名男子全身中枪多处，目前情况危急，而另一名男性嫌疑人在逃跑后被捕归案。
Nov 20, 2021
Two armed suspects picked the wrong deliveryman to rob Saturday in Philadelphia’s Mayfair section. Police say the victim was leaving his home after dropping off a delivery to his family after midnight on the 3200 block of Longshore Avenue.
警方人员表示：” 被抢劫人持有有效的持枪许可证。在事件发生后，他待在现场，和警方交谈，描述了发生的事情，另外，我们获取了事发地区的多个监控录像，证实了他所说的事情。”
而就在当地时间 19 日，在美国备受关注的基诺沙市枪击案宣判，嫌疑人凯尔 · 里滕豪斯被判无罪。
去年 8 月，威斯康星州基诺沙持续发生抗议示威活动，在 8 月 25 日的示威中，当时 17 岁的里滕豪斯手持步枪在街上被人追打，他倒在地上后向抢夺其枪支的人开枪，造成 2 人死亡、1 人受伤。美国检方随后对里滕豪斯提出包括一级谋杀罪在内的 5 项罪名指控。
里滕豪斯的无罪判决在美国社会引发了持枪权和自卫界限的激烈争论。但与上述华人男子不同，当时未成年的里滕豪斯并没有持枪许可证。
亚裔学生在费城遭种族仇恨袭击
另据外媒报道，同样是在费城，数日前还发生了一起 4 名非裔女孩在地铁上攻击一群亚裔学生的事件。
当地时间 19 日，费城地方检察官办公室批准了对四名非裔未成年女生的指控，她们涉嫌于 17 日在地铁上对一群亚裔学生发动仇恨袭击，将面临严重攻击、种族恐吓、犯罪阴谋等相关指控。据报道，一名女孩还因试图盗窃一名受害者的 AirPods 而面临一项抢劫罪的指控。
一段在网上疯传的视频显示，一群非裔女孩先是对几名亚裔男孩进行了口头骚扰和身体攻击。随后，另一名亚裔女性出面试图缓和气氛，很快就被她们团团围住。其中两名非裔女孩开始对她进行殴打，并将她的头撞向车门。不仅如此，在她被殴打倒地后，她们的攻击仍在继续，其中一名袭击者还用鞋子对她进行殴打。随后，这名受害者女孩报了警。
警方称，袭击者和受害者都来自中央高中（Central High School）。SEPTA 交通警察局长 Thomas Nestel 表示，这是一次基于种族的袭击。他还补充说，此次袭击事件完全是无端发生的，” 但一些非裔美国人团体试图将这次袭击事件归咎于亚洲学生。”
有消息人士向媒体透露，就在袭击发生前一天，当地时间周二，袭击组织的非裔女孩就曾对这两名亚裔男孩进行了 ” 种族侮辱 “，并向他们倒了一杯冰沙。另据当地媒体报道，中央高中的家长们也曾一再抱怨，亚裔学生在学校不断受到非裔学生的骚扰。他们被迫放弃来之不易的职位，为其他非裔学生腾位置，很多无辜的学生也不断受到骚扰。
全美瞩目枪击案 白人少年获判无罪 法律专家不意外
文章来源: HK01
11/21/2021
美国18岁白人少年里滕豪斯（Kyle Rittenhouse）在威斯康星州（Wisconsin）城市基诺沙（Kenosha）反种族歧视示威现场开枪，酿成2死1伤后，陪审团11月19日裁定他无罪，在美国社会引发众怒，但据美媒所指，当地法律专家认为这个结果并不意外，为何如此？
事发于2020年8月25日午夜，基诺沙市街头的反种族歧视示威演变成骚乱之际，里滕豪斯开枪造成26岁的胡贝尔（Anthony Huber）和36岁的罗森鲍姆（Joseph Rosenbaum）死亡，27岁的格罗斯克罗伊茨（Gaige Grosskreutz）亦受枪伤。
Nov 20, 2021
5项罪名均不成立
事后里滕豪斯遭检方指控犯下一级故意杀人罪、一级卤莽杀人罪、一级故意杀人未遂及2项一级卤莽危害安全罪。经历审判后，陪审团决定5项罪名均不成立，引发美国社会激烈讨论，不过美国有线新闻网络（CNN）20日引述法律专家指，他们对判决并不感到惊讶。
报道引述民权律师科尔曼（Charles F Coleman Jr）解释，随着审判展开，两种论述开始“竞争”，一是里滕豪斯是挑起暴力者，另一是他属于遭攻击的受害人。科尔曼说，比起挑衅，最终陪审团认为“自卫”的说法更有说服力。
根据其中一个事发片段，里滕豪斯当时拿着枪在跑，后面则有人追着他。
里滕豪斯证词成关键
CNN指，里滕豪斯出庭时的供词成为关键。里滕豪斯辩称，自己当晚带着武器前往基诺沙市中心，尝试保护一间名为Car Source的汽车经销商，他是向追赶他的“暴民”开枪。
他在庭上声泪俱下地说道，后来成为死者的罗森鲍姆当时威胁他和追赶他，向他掷袋并扑向他的枪，自己之后是出于自卫才开枪。里滕豪斯主张：“如果我让罗森鲍姆夺去我的枪，他会用它杀我甚或杀更多人。”
Nov 20, 2021
里滕豪斯又说，另一死者胡贝尔当时用滑板打他和抓住他的枪，自己才朝对方胸部开枪，格罗斯克罗伊茨则是朝他冲过来并用手枪指着他的头。
里滕豪斯的辩护律师理查兹（Mark Richards）更向记者表示，辩方之前已私下做测试，找来模拟陪审团分成两组，只有其中一组观看里滕豪斯的作供，测试结果便显示，若然里滕豪斯亲身作供，得来的结果会有利得多。
由于辩方声称里滕豪斯当晚行为属正当防卫，检控方有责任反驳里滕豪斯并非合理怀疑。检察官要反驳其自卫讲法和表明他当晚挑起暴力，这种情况对控方不利。
控方有错失？
联邦前法官霍尼格（Elie Honig）认为，控方尝试把里滕豪斯描绘成主动开枪的人，但这种说法未能站得住脚。他认为里滕豪斯当时并非无差别开枪，而是向攻击他的人开枪。除此之外，检控官曾两度遭法官警告提问方式有问题。
陪审团指示对控方不利
报道引述高级法律分析人士科茨（Laura Coates）指，真正影响审判结果的是法官向陪审团发出的指示。在这次案中，法官要求陪审员从年仅17岁的里滕豪斯身上发生这种事的视角去看待这宗案件和评估他当时的行为是否合理，而非事后回顾。
Why the Kyle Rittenhouse ‘not guilty’ verdict is not a surprise to legal experts
By BECKY SULLIVAN
11/21/2021
Nathan Howard/Getty Images
After 27 hours of deliberation over the course of four days, a jury declared Kyle Rittenhouse not guilty on the five charges he faced after fatally shooting two people and wounding a third during a night of unrest in Kenosha, Wis., last year.
Rittenhouse trembled as the verdict was read, count by count, then collapsed in sobs.
“There were times we doubted the case. There were times when we were confident,” said Mark Richards, Rittenhouse’s lead defense attorney, speaking to reporters outside the courthouse after the verdict was read.
Rittenhouse faced five felony counts after he shot and killed Joseph Rosenbaum, 36, and Anthony Huber, 26, and wounded Gaige Grosskreutz, then 26. The most serious charge, first-degree intentional homicide, carried a mandatory sentence of life in prison.
Though jurors did not speak to the media to explain their decision, legal experts contacted by NPR throughout the trial said an acquittal was not surprising.
“I think that anyone who saw the evidence could see that the jury might have a difficult time coming to a unanimous decision that Kyle Rittenhouse wasn’t defending himself,” said Julius Kim, a defense attorney and former prosecutor based in the Milwaukee area.
Rittenhouse had a strong self-defense case
Prosecutors said that Rittenhouse had put himself in danger through a series of reckless choices: He came to Kenosha during a period of violent and destructive riots; he armed himself with an AR-15-style rifle; he stayed there past curfew and after being separated from his group. They emphasized that he was the only person there to shoot someone.
But the law of self-defense in Wisconsin allows someone to use deadly force if they reasonably believe they are in imminent danger of death or great bodily harm.
“And if so, he’s allowed to use essentially as much force as he thinks is reasonably necessary to stop the threat,” said Kim.
Rosenbaum, the first person Rittenhouse shot, had acted belligerently throughout the night, according to video evidence and witness testimony. Later, he chased Rittenhouse through a used-car lot. Rittenhouse and another witness both testified that Rosenbaum had reached for Rittenhouse’s gun. Rittenhouse shot four times within a second, killing him.
“Mr. Rosenbaum was chasing me. I pointed my gun at him, and that did not deter him. He could have ran away instead of trying to take my gun from me, but he kept chasing me. It didn’t stop him,” Rittenhouse testified last week.
Afterward, Rittenhouse ran away toward a police line, he said during the trial. While he was running, several people started to chase him, including Huber and Grosskreutz. Huber struck Rittenhouse with a skateboard, evidence showed, and Grosskreutz was armed with a Glock pistol.
Prosecutors said that the two men had believed Rittenhouse was an “active shooter” and were trying to disarm him. But Rittenhouse testified that he feared for his life.
The defense had a “very disciplined message” throughout the trial, said Steven Wright, a law professor at the University of Wisconsin. They consistently emphasized Rittenhouse’s stated intentions that night — acting as a medic and protecting private property — and the threats to his safety, Wright said.
That message was clearest when Rittenhouse himself testified, a turn on the stand that several experts said was very effective for the defense.
“He was very well prepped. He did not come off as smug or indignant,” said Charles Coleman Jr., a civil rights lawyer and former prosecutor, who said that Rittenhouse came off like a “regular teenager.” “That needed to be something that the jury was reminded of.”
Richards, Rittenhouse’s defense attorney, told NPR’s All Things Considered that he thought Rittenhouse “did a very good job for an 18-year-old kid who was testifying for his life.”
Prosecutors had a very high bar to overcome Rittenhouse’s self-defense claim
In Wisconsin, once a defendant has made a self-defense claim, prosecutors must then disprove it “beyond a reasonable doubt,” experts explained.
The prosecution’s case depended on video evidence that was often dark and blurry. One key video was shot from far away, and in others, the action was at times obstructed, making it difficult to draw definitive conclusions.
“Some of the video footage, some of the still frame shots appeared to support the self-defense claim,” said Chris Zachar, a criminal defense attorney based in La Crosse, Wis., who said prosecutors had “squandered” their case.
Prosecutors attempted to convince jurors that Rittenhouse had provoked the encounter with Rosenbaum, which would have undercut his self-defense claim. But the interaction they described as Rittenhouse pointing his rifle at other people before the chase was captured only by a single drone video, filmed from over a block away, in which Rittenhouse and Rosenbaum are tiny and distant.
Another video that captured Rittenhouse’s encounter with Huber and Grosskreutz was analyzed frame by frame during the trial. Defense attorneys and prosecutors urged jurors to draw opposite conclusions from it — including, crucially, whether Grosskreutz had pointed his pistol at Rittenhouse before being shot.
“The state has to prove that Kyle Rittenhouse provoked the attack by proof beyond a reasonable doubt. And so, the question is: If everyone in that courtroom is still not sure, if the judge wasn’t sure, then how are 12 jurors going to be sure?” said Kim.
The state’s own witnesses at times helped Rittenhouse’s case
Prosecutors called more than a dozen witnesses to help make their case. But legal experts said that, at times, those witnesses seemed to bolster Rittenhouse’s self-defense claim.
The state called two men who had accompanied Rittenhouse that night, also intending to help protect private property. Both witnesses, Ryan Balch and Jason Lackowski, said Rosenbaum asked to be shot and “false-stepped” armed men in an attempt to provoke a reaction. One described him as “hyperaggressive.”
“They all painted a picture that Mr. Rosenbaum was definitely the aggressor,” said Wright, of the University of Wisconsin. “There was testimony that he lunged for the gun.”
Another one of the state’s witnesses, Richie McGinniss, a video director for a conservative news site who witnessed the Rosenbaum shooting, testified that Rosenbaum was reaching for Rittenhouse’s rifle.
And Grosskreutz, who was the prosecutors’ star witness as the only person who survived being shot by Rittenhouse, gave testimony that underscored the challenge facing prosecutors.
Grosskreutz ran after Rittenhouse after the first shooting and was approaching him, Glock pistol in hand, as Rittenhouse shot Huber. Grosskreutz testified that he believed Huber was trying to harm Rittenhouse.
For a moment, Grosskreutz paused and raised his hands in the air, gun held limply in his right hand.
But then he saw Rittenhouse adjusting his weapon, he testified, so he brought his arms back down and moved toward Rittenhouse. In doing so, he pointed his weapon at Rittenhouse, he admitted during cross-examination.
“It wasn’t until you pointed your gun at him — advanced on him with your gun, now your hands down, pointed at him — that he fired, right?” defense attorney Corey Chirafisi said.
“Correct,” Grosskreutz replied.
Kim, the former prosecutor, pointed to that exchange as an especially bad moment for the prosecution.
“I think the defense did an effective job of taking one of the state’s witnesses and using him to start building their case,” he said. “There were times where I had to remind myself who called him as the witness.”

CHICAGO — Murder charges have been filed in the shooting death of a University of Chicago graduate earlier this week in Hyde Park, Chicago police announced.
Alton Spann, 18, is being charged with first-degree murder, armed robbery and two counts of unlawful use of a weapon.
Dennis Zheng, 24, was shot to death during a robbery in the 900 block of East 54th Place just before 2 p.m. on Tuesday afternoon.
Police said Span was located utilizing POD cameras the next day, and was taken into custody following a traffic stop near the intersection of West North Avenue and North Sedgwick Avenue.
Officers recovered two firearms from Spann’s vehicle during the arrest, with gun testing confirming Spann was connected to the murder.
Following charges being filed against Spann, Mayor Lori Lightfoot offered the following statement:
“Mayor Lightfoot is extremely proud of the dogged and phenomenal work of the Chicago Police Department’s Bureau of Detectives to quickly apprehend and charge Alton Spann for the murder of Shaoxiong Zheng. Individuals who commit senseless and cowardly acts of violence, and who recklessly cut short the lives of residents must be held accountable, and it the Mayor’s hope that this announcement can serve as the first step on the long road toward healing and justice for Mr. Zheng’s family and loved ones, as well as the University of Chicago Community.
The Mayor will continue to keep this young man’s family, as well as the entire Hyde Park and University of Chicago communities in her prayers as they continue to grapple with this tragic loss. As communities throughout Chicago continue to struggle with gun violence, protecting the lives and wellbeing of all of Chicago’s residents and visitors remains the Mayor’s top priority.”
According to police, the investigation into Zheng’s murder will continue, although police did confirm Spann was the gunman in Zheng’s murder.

中国留学生在美遭枪杀: 其来自成都 刚硕士毕业
来源：极目新闻
11/10/2021
美国当地时间11月9日下午，在美国芝加哥大学附近，一名今年刚从该校毕业的中国留学生遭遇一持枪抢劫匪徒枪杀，凶手随后跳上停在旁边的车辆逃走。极目新闻记者采访获悉，遇难者来自中国四川，年仅24岁。
大白天遭抢劫遇难
据美国当地媒体报道，9日下午1时54分左右，在芝加哥大学附近54小街900号的行人道上，遭一名持枪抢劫匪徒当街枪杀，凶手随后跳上停在旁边的车辆逃走。芝加哥警方表示，24岁的受害男子当时走在54小街夹爱丽丝大道交口的行人道，一辆深色车辆突然在他旁边停靠，一名劫匪走到该亚裔男子旁，要求他交出财物。抢劫过程中，劫匪不知为何突然对该男子开了好几枪，其中一发子弹击中受害者的胸部。警方接警后立刻赶到现场，中枪男子被送到芝加哥大学医院后不治身亡。
芝加哥大学一名在校生小雯（化名）告诉极目新闻记者，事后学校发了声明给所有师生，确认不幸遭枪杀的男子，近期才从该校硕士毕业，遭到枪击16分钟后就不幸遇难。
小雯还介绍，就在枪杀案件发生前2小时，芝加哥大学才发送出一份《安全通知》，告知师生学校附近的53街1500号附近有人持枪扫射。
据当地警方介绍，有两家商铺和多辆车在枪击中遭子弹击中。
遇难者来自成都
11月10日，极目新闻记者从小雯以及多名香港大学校友获悉，遭枪击遇难的留学生姓郑，来自四川成都。他2015年从成都一所高中毕业后，到香港大学求学，之后来到芝加哥大学攻读统计学硕士，近期才毕业。
事发后，郑先生的多名朋友在社交平台表达愤怒和哀悼。
一名港大校友说：“有朋友说芝大抢劫枪杀，就在他家楼下，我还觉得荒谬但遥远。而后朋友圈和树洞出现了很多消息，学姐来问我有没有在芝加哥的朋友有更多信息，说只知道遇难者是亚裔，24岁。港大某位学长在芝加哥大学读统计学硕士，刚毕业，一直联系不上，大家都很担心。之后都是焦急且无谓的等待时间，在信息洪流中分辨真真假假，宁愿都是误传。直到最后确认了身份，大使馆联系了家人。可还是无法接受，恍若噩梦一场，怎么会这样呢……家庭花了24年的时间培养一个孩子，个体花了24年的时间走到今日，扳机一扣，啪，没了。”她还称，郑先生朋友圈里的照片还停留在上周，第一次参加乒乓球比赛，“真的那么阳光鲜活的人啊……”
小雯告诉极目新闻记者，事发后，郑先生的家人联系不上他，他的母亲还在留学生家长微信群到处问，有没有人能联系上她儿子，自己看了直接破防。
“那个时候大家只排查出是统计系的中国学生，还没确认身份，家长没正式接到通知，也不愿意接受这个事实，所以到处在问，希望有奇迹。”小雯说。
一直都是学霸
极目新闻记者了解到，郑先生高中毕业那年，曾参加当地一培优机构举办的沙龙讲座，当地媒体还进行了采访。
媒体报道称，郑先生还未满18岁，却显示出了超越他实际年龄的成熟和稳健。他说除了在上课期间认真弄懂每个知识点外，课余还会钻研互联网等很多他感兴趣的领域。他也为在场的家庭分享了自己在高中三年所使用的一些对提高学习成绩大有益处的APP。自己还建立了一些个人小档案，有成长笔记，也有错题集，每一点记录都为他后来能以总分651分的好成绩考入香港大学奠定了深厚的基础。
沙龙讲座结束后，很多学生家长仍然围绕在他周围，询问关于学习方法的问题，他也都一一耐心地解答。
两年前，他还和同学合著了一本关于做事逻辑的著作，豆瓣评分6.1分。
11月9日下午，极目新闻记者致电郑先生高中母校，工作人员称暂未听说此事。
案发地附近枪击案频发
今年以来，芝加哥大学枪案频发。7月1日，该校大三学生路易斯从芝加哥搭车返回校园时，有流弹击穿车窗，打中他的头部，虽紧急送医仍于4日后不治。
今年年初，芝加哥大学博士班中国留学生范轶然在芝加哥大学校园附近公寓停车场遭枪击身亡。
小雯告诉极目新闻记者，案发地离芝加哥大学校园最近的建筑步行仅两分钟。那边是住宅区，没有商铺，住了很多留学生，但街头人很少。
小雯说，芝加哥大学附近枪击案频繁，几乎每天都能听到枪击声。
另一在芝加哥工作的徐先生也告诉极目新闻记者，芝加哥的黑帮火拼事件比加州更多，治安状况并不乐观。
芝加哥大学24岁亚裔生 于校园遭抢劫枪杀
世界新闻网
11/09/2021
一名近期才从芝加哥大学毕业的24岁男性，9日下午1时54分左右，在校园附近54小街900号的行人道上，遭一名持枪抢劫匪徒当街枪杀，歹徒作案后跳上停在旁边的车辆逃逸，目前死者身分仍未公布，但根据可靠消息指出，这名受害者为亚裔，且有可能是华人。
芝加哥警局表示，24岁的受害男子当时走在54小街夹爱丽斯大道(Ellis Ave.)交口的行人道，一辆深色车辆突然在其旁边停靠，一名男嫌从车内走出到该名亚裔男旁，要求其交出财物，抢劫过程中，歹徒不知何故对受害者开了好几枪，其中一发子弹打中受害者胸部。
警察据报后立即赶到现场，中枪男子虽经送到芝加哥大学医院仍不治。
该部涉案车辆之后有人看见往54小街西向逃逸。
事发地点有许多学生聚居，旁边还有一小座儿童公园，平日人车来往频繁，芝大学生听到有人在该地点遭到抢劫枪杀，都感到十分意外与震惊。
芝大稍后发出声明给所有师生，确认该名不幸遭枪杀的死者，近期才从芝加哥大学毕业，该校正与芝加哥警局合作，收集更多案件信息，事发后，芝大警局已经立即增加校园附近的巡逻，虽然现阶段没有任何迹象显示该事件为系列案件，但学校鼓励所有人提高警觉、谨慎行事。
这起抢劫枪杀事件发生前两小时，芝大才送出一份「安全通知」，告知学校老师、学生有关东53街1500号附近有枪击案，警方表示，两家当地商家及多部车辆均在该枪击案中被子弹击中。
20岁的芝加哥大学大三学生路易斯(Max Lewis)今年7月1日从芝加哥市搭乘绿线捷运准备返回校园时，不幸遭到从车窗窜入的流弹打中颈部，虽紧急送医急救仍于5日不治。
今年年初芝大博士班中国留学生范轶然，则在芝大校园附近公寓停车场遭枪手滥杀。
芝加哥市的枪枝暴力问题越演越烈，上个周末全市共有50人中枪、九人死亡。
Recent University of Chicago graduate shot, killed in armed robbery near campus
By WGN Web Desk
11/09/2021
CHICAGO — A recent University of Chicago graduate was shot and killed Tuesday afternoon in armed robbery near campus.
Just before 2 p.m., authorities were dispatched to the 900 block of 54th Place on the report of a shooting.
Police said a 24-year-old man was on the sidewalk when a dark-colored vehicle pulled up. A male suspect exited the vehicle and demanded the man’s property. The victim was then shot in the chest and pronounced dead at the University of Chicago Medical Center.
The vehicle was last seen fleeing westbound on 54th Place.
Around two hours earlier, the university sent out a safety notice regarding shots fired in the area of the 1500 block of East 53rd Street. Police said two local business and multiple vehicles were struck by gunfire.
As bullets flew by, Congressional candidate and founder of My Block, My Hood, My City Jahmal Cole dropped to the ground.
“I dove under the car, I ran for my life,” Cole said. “Nobody was hit but it’s traumatizing. When you’re running for your life, that doesn’t just go away.”
Earlier this summer, a 20-year-old student from Colorado was shot while sitting on a Green Line train. Max Lewis was paralyzed, but alert in the hospital. He was taken off life support and died on July 4.
The university sent the following message to students and staff following Tuesday’s deadly shooting.
“We are working with the Chicago Police Department to gather more facts about the case, and the University of Chicago Police Department is immediately increasing patrols near campus. While we have not had any indication that this is an active incident, we encourage you to be vigilant and exercise caution.
This is devastating news for our entire community. We will keep you informed as we know more about this incident.”

抢匪作案遇“美军陆战队” 1秒夺枪压制 同伙鼠窜

惹错人！亚利桑那州一名持枪歹徒伙同另外两人抢劫加油站商店，却遇到“路人”发威， 一个箭步就夺下手枪，还用手中的一袋罐装饮料当武器，砸向歹徒让他血流满面，其他同伙见状早就吓得逃之夭夭。这段监视器影片迅速在全美爆红，原来单枪匹马压制抢匪的路人竟是美国海军陆战队的退伍军人。
Oct 21, 2021
A Marine Corps veteran came to the rescue on Wednesday morning after an armed suspect and two others attempted to rob a convenience store in Arizona, according to the Yuma County Sheriff’s Office.
根据美联社、ABC报导，亚利桑那州西南部尤马市（Yuma）一家加油站商店于20日清晨4时30分左右，突然闯进一名持枪歹徒，身后还跟著2名同伙，而当时正要去上班的前美军陆战队队员基尔瑟（James Kilcer）刚好就在店里。监视器画面显示，他先是一眼扫视了抢匪，接著瞬间出手夺枪，并将手中的一袋罐装饮料用力砸过去，随后将人压制在地，同伙吓得连滚带爬地逃跑了，最后一名歹徒都还没踏进店门，这桩抢劫行动就瞬间结束。
报导指出，32岁的基尔瑟曾在阿富汗服役，而现在是陆军尤马演习场的聘雇人员，因此国防部不允许他带枪上班，多数人被枪指著可能会吓傻或逃命，但基尔瑟不同，他受访时称，如果当时他身上有带枪，或许还能再抓到其他2名嫌犯，“我当时正准备转身离开，就听到门猛然地被打开，我的第一个反应是，这枪管太小了。”他说，他扫视了一下发现除此之外没有其他武器，在那一刻他就选定了目标，“他朝我多走了一步，朝柜台走一步，我就能抓到他了。”
基尔瑟表示，他将饮料罐砸在歹徒的脸上，可能有打碎了对方的鼻子，因为他后来血流满地，同时夺下了枪支，再抓住歹徒的脖子，用枪指著他的头，把他转到背面压制，“我问他，『你多大了？』他说，『我才14岁！』他太快就走上错误的道路了。”警察到场后已将这名少年抢匪拘捕，并正在追缉另外2名共犯。
Oct 22, 2021
Marine veteran James Kilcer took matters into his own hands when he witnessed a robbery attempt at an Arizona gas station.
事后，基尔瑟说，原本他以为只是一把玩具枪，里面什麽都没有，所以他随手把枪扔在一边，后来检查才知道那是一把真枪，“海军陆战队教会我当机立断……我想我只是在对的时间，出现在对的地方，做我该做的事。”

就在今天，北加州硅谷的核心区域Milpitas突然爆发枪战。这是整个硅谷华人最聚集的地方。
一时间，华人票圈都吓坏了，视频中流出了很多细节，据悉枪战发生在华人最熟悉的 400 block barber Lan 附近。即就在环球广场内！
纷纷转发枪战视频。不少人在广场卧倒，警车到处都是。
很多民众猜测是抢劫银行。还有人员受伤。
事件一处引发当地华人疯狂转发。Milpitas 环球广场是华人最喜欢的购物中心之一，仅靠237和880交通要道，这里紧靠众多电子科技公司，不仅有超市还有很多华人餐馆，银行和其他娱乐业。是华人最常出行的地点。
自疫情以来，不少不法分子攻击和抢劫餐厅，甚至直接到ATM机边打劫被害人，最近旧金山Walgreens更是宣布关闭5家旧金山市门店！
猖獗的盗贼大手大脚在店里搬货，让门店着实吃不消。
连警方也直言，对于有组织的零售犯罪，很难全部逮捕。
而今天发生在环球广场的恶性抢占是不是又一次有目标性的抢劫呢？
本事件仍在调查中。尚不知道具体原因。不过：
假日临近，各位华人朋友出行务必注意安全。

Police exchange gunfire with stolen vehicle suspect in Milpitas

Police said no officers or bystanders were injured during the incident.

(VA) Loudoun County superintendent apologizes, board member resigns as backlash grows over alleged sexual assaults
Loudoun County Public Schools has faced intense public pressure after Scott Smith revealed his daughter was allegedly assaulted in a school bathroom
By Peter Hasson | Fox News
10/15/2021
The superintendent of Loudoun County Public Schools issued an apology and a school board member resigned on Friday as the district faces mounting backlash over its response to two alleged sexual assaults, one of which was allegedly carried out by a skirt-wearing male student in a girls’ bathroom.
Superintendent Scott Ziegler apologized for saying during a June event that the Virginia district had no record of assaults taking place in its bathrooms. His comments came amid debate about policy changes related to self-identified transgender students. Ziegler said Friday that he misunderstood the question when he made the comment.
Ziegler also said he is “sorry that we failed to provide the safe, welcoming, and affirming environment that we aspire to provide.” He told affected students and families: “We acknowledge and share in your pain and we will continue to offer support to help you and your families through this trauma.”
Scott Smith, a Loudoun County father who was arrested at that June event, said this week that his daughter was sexually assaulted in a girls’ bathroom at Stone Bridge High School by a male student who was wearing a skirt. The Loudoun County sheriff’s office has confirmed that an on-campus sexual assault was reported on the day Smith says his daughter was victimized.
The boy accused of assaulting Smith’s daughter later allegedly groped a female student at nearby Broad Run High School after forcing her into an empty classroom, Loudoun County Commonwealth’s Attorney Buta Biberaj told WTOP in an interview this week.
Board member Beth Barts announced her resignation on Friday, though she didn’t say whether it was related to the ongoing controversy. “This was not an easy decision or a decision made in haste. After much thought and careful consideration, it is the right decision for me and my family,” Barts said.
Barts has repeatedly butted heads with Loudoun parents concerned about critical race theory and similar left-wing topics being taught in schools, leading residents to seek her recall. Brenda Sheridan, the school board chair, thanked Barts for her service and said that the position is expected to be filled during the board’s December meeting.
LCPS didn’t immediately return Fox News’ inquiry on whether Barts’ resignation was linked to the current controversy.
“This could not have been an easy decision for Ms. Barts. We have made known our displeasure with her actions as a school board member over the past several months, but today she has done the right thing. Her former colleagues should take notice,” Ian Prior, the executive director of Virginia parent group Fight for Schools, said in a statement Friday.
“The community should know, however, that the problems at Loudoun County Public Schools and on the school board go well beyond one school board member,” Prior added. “We will continue to shine a light on Loudoun County Public Schools and will keep fighting until we have a school board of common sense, non-partisan members and a superintendent who is accountable to parents and tells the truth.”
自定义厕所性别 美中学女生在厕所遭裙装”男生“性侵
文章来源: 综合新闻
10/13/2021
今年5月，弗吉尼亚州劳登县的一名父亲被告知，自己上中学的女儿在学校受到“攻击”，但是校方没有报警。
男子后来得知，一名穿着“裙子”的男孩在女厕所内对女儿性侵犯。
于是愤怒的父亲报警，但是校方表示从未接到过关于在双性洗手间发生性侵犯的报告。
48岁的斯科特-史密斯对于学校的态度十分不满，6月22日他走入了学校董事会的会议，并且当面指责女儿在学校女厕所被一个 “穿裙子 “的男学生 “强奸”，他想用发生在她身上的事情来说明他为什么认为每个人不应该自己选择使用哪种性别的洗手间。
但是后来在视频分享中，这位父亲向媒体透露，学校否认这一切，并在他完全分享他的观点前就将其拖出了会议室。
愤怒的父亲表示场面一度很混乱。6辆警察负责带我离去。
这位父亲说自己从未这么无助，他只是想保护自己的孩子。
史密斯说，这名男孩利用学校的变性政策，进入女生洗手间并袭击了他的女儿
事件发生两个月后，这名男孩，因强迫鸡奸而被捕。
就在10月，他因不同的指控再次被捕，据称他在不同的学校袭击了一个不同的女孩。
目前这么中学生被关在一个青少年拘留中心。
但史密斯说，劳登县的学校却仍在不遗余力地保护这个孩子–“一个性侵者”。学校目前没有发表评论。
据悉，这一家人在被赶出后，一直联系律师为这个案子10月14日的开庭做准备，但他们没想到就在10月6日这个男孩再次因为同样事件被逮捕。
劳登县警长办公室确实证实了10月6日的事件，调查确定在10月6日下午，这名嫌疑人强迫受害者进入一个空教室，在那里他违背她的意愿扣留她并不适当地触摸她，目前被指控对他人进行性攻击和绑架。
据称，该14岁男孩在警方的询问中已经承认了所发生的一切。
而这位父亲如今终于能再次站出来，他之前被校方指责为偏激的右翼分子，还将他的信息发送给所有学区的家长。
Hill’s report said that Montgomery County, which has about 1 million residents, received about $2.61 million in revenue in 2017. Hill’s report noted that the revenue would decline over time as customers start using reusable bags, although it will take several years.
He wrote that it would be difficult to estimate potential revenues because Virginia’s legislation applies only to certain retailers while Montgomery County’s applies to virtually all and doesn’t have certain exemptions.
Earlier this year, Prince William County supervisors began drafting a similar plastic bag tax but decided to wait until after the fiscal 2022 budget was passed.

Loudoun father claims city concealed sex assault
Scott Smith joins ‘The Ingraham Angle’ to discuss his claims that his daughter was sexually assaulted in girl’s bathroom by boy wearing a skirt
The Loudoun County school district in Virginia issued a statement Wednesday saying it correctly followed all legal protocols, two days after a father – who was arrested during a June school board meeting – accused the district of trying to cover up an alleged bathroom sexual assault against his daughter by a skirt-wearing male student.
“Loudoun County Public Schools is aware of the media and social media reports concerning alleged sexual assaults at two of our high school campuses,” the school district said.
“While LCPS takes student privacy seriously and cannot reveal details concerning the actions of any specific student, we do want to clarify our investigative process. Principals are legally required to report to the local law enforcement agency any act, including sexual assault, that may constitute a felony offense under Va. Code § 22.1-279.3:1. That process was followed with respect to these allegations.”
The statement comes two days after Scott Smith, who was arrested for disorderly conduct during a June 22 school board meeting, alleged that the school district tried to cover up a sexual assault by a gender-fluid individual against his ninth-grade daughter in order to further its transgender rights agenda.
Smith told The Daily Wire on Monday that weeks before his arrest, his daughter at Stone Bridge High School in Ashburn was sexually assaulted by a boy wearing a skirt who entered the girls’ bathroom on May 28.
“We can confirm a May 28, 2021 case that involved a thorough 2-month-long investigation that was conducted to determine the facts of the case prior to arrest,” the sheriff’s office previously told Fox News. “This case is still pending court proceedings. The Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office is not able to provide any documents that pertain to a pending case.” The sheriff’s office confirmed that the case involved sexual assault.
All juvenile records are sealed, but Smith’s attorney Elizabeth Lancaster told The Daily Wire that the boy was subsequently charged with two counts of forcible sodomy, one count of anal sodomy, and one count of forcible fellatio.
The school district said in its statement that it contacted the sheriff’s office on May 28 within “minutes of receiving the initial report.”
“Once a matter has been reported to law enforcement, LCPS does not begin its investigation until law enforcement advises LCPS that it has completed the criminal investigation,” the school district said. “To maintain the integrity of the criminal investigation, law enforcement requested that LCPS not interview students until their investigation is concluded. LCPS has cooperated and continues to cooperate with law enforcement.”
The statement differs dramatically from Smith’s account, who said school officials told him on May 28 that the matter would be handled in-house, and that they actually called law enforcement on him for creating a scene on campus.
According to The Daily Wire, the school sent an email to parents later that day saying there had been an “incident in the main office” that required sheriff’s deputies to respond. The email made no mention of the alleged sexual assault and said there was “no threat to the safety of the student body.”
Smith told The Daily Wire that he was arrested at the June 22 school board meeting shortly after LCPS Superintendent Scott Ziegler declared that to his knowledge, “we don’t have any record of assaults occurring in our restrooms.” Smith said he then flew into a rage after a local progressive activist said she did not believe his daughter’s story.
On Aug. 11, nearly two months after Smith’s arrest, the school board voted to approve its transgender rights policy, which requires teachers to call students by the pronouns they identify with and requires bathroom renovations in order to make them more private.
Smith said he received a letter before the Aug. 11 vote informing him he was banned from the school board building.
Then on Oct. 6, the sheriff’s office said a 15-year-old boy was charged with sexual battery and abduction of a fellow student at Broad Run High School in Ashburn. In an Oct. 7 press release, the sheriff’s office said the suspect forced a female victim into an empty classroom where he held her against her will and inappropriately touched her.
The Daily Wire, citing a government official, reported that the boy accused in the Broad Run case had the same name as the student who allegedly assaulted Smith’s daughter.
Elizabeth Lancaster, Smith’s attorney, also told the outlet the suspect in the Oct. 6 incident was the same boy who allegedly attacked Smith’s daughter.
Smith’s wife, Jess, said prosecutors told her the suspect’s court date had been postponed from this Thursday to Oct. 25 in order to handle both cases together. The sheriff’s office declined to confirm or deny to Fox News that the same male student was suspected in both cases.
The school district said in its statement that it is “prohibited from disciplining any student without following the Title IX grievance process, which includes investigating complaints of sexual harassment and sexual assault.”
“LCPS does impose interim measures to protect the safety of students involved in the original incident, deter retaliation, and preserve the integrity of the investigation and resolution process,” it said. “LCPS has complied and continues to comply with its obligations under Title IX.”
The school district added that board members were “not aware of the specific details of this incident until it was reported in media outlets earlier this week.”
Loudoun County parents demand resignation of $295K-a-year superintendent who DENIED school had any reports of sex assault by a trans kid in a restroom – one month after girl, 15, told teachers she was raped by a ‘boy in a skirt’ in women’s toilets
Ziegler took the job in Loudoun County in January after working in HR for years. He is paid $295,000 a year.
