NYPD attempt to subdue ‘disturbed individual,’ shoot elderly woman with walker instead By Scott Kaufman rawstory.com ( ..and THESE people are TRAINED, Simpy! ) Sunday, September 15, 2013 11:26 EDT Two bystanders were shot by New York police officers who were trying to subdue what NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly called “an emotionally disturbed man.” Just before 10 p.m. on Saturday night, officers noticed a man on foot weaving in and out of traffic near the Port Authority Bus Terminal. They attempted to surround him. “This individual was blocking traffic and appeared to be attempting to be hit by cars when a police officer on foot patrol attempted to take him into custody in the intersection,” Com. Kelly said. At that time, according to a witness who spoke to The Daily News, the unidentified man started “pretending that he had a gun” and “aimed it at the cops.” The cops fired three shots, none of which hit the suspect. However, an unidentified 54-year-old woman in a walker was struck in the right leg, and a 35-year-old woman was grazed in the buttocks. Watch the ABC7 report on the incident below.

Americans the Beautiful September 16, 2013 tengrain You are much more likely to find me admiring and objectifying the 4-H cows than watching the Miss America Pagent. With that out of the way, there’s this to report: Nina Davuluri is crowned Miss America Nina Davuluri has been hit with Twitter abuse after becoming the first woman of Indian descent to be crowned Miss America. After her victory in Atlantic City, the 24-year-old beauty queen, who was born in Syracuse, New York, and is believed to be a practising Hindu, said: “I’m so happy this organisation has embraced diversity. Uh-oh, the Twitterverse senses a change in The Force? One Twitter user, DallasRobinson8, wrote: “I am literally soo mad right now a ARAB won. #MissAmerica” Jakeamick5 added: “How the **** does a foreigner win miss America? She is a Arab! #idiots” Emi_adkins said: “It’s called Miss America. Get outta here New York you look like a terrorist. #bye #americanforamerica” And another user said: “Well they just picked a Muslim for Miss America. That must’ve made Obama happy. Maybe he had a vote.” OK, so Indian=Arab, Hindu=Muslim, and anyone other than white=non-American. I’m so glad the reporters didn’t check IA’s Rep. Steve King, who might have weighed in on her cantaloupes. ( SkyNews)
