The man attacked her from behind, throwing her to the ground and stealing her belongings.
In some cases their criticisms embarrassed the ruling party which repressed them – in Kenya these radical critics developed the bad habit of getting killed in car crashes on lonely roads at night, with only the police as witnesses of their demise.
Something of the same happened in Zambia: after one particular accident in which a political figure was killed while “swerving to avoid a black dog running across the road”, it became common to describe similar fatalities as “black dogs”.
Always remember, "statistical anomaly" just means you probably won't see it coming.
But Judge Paget added: "The belief in witchcraft, however genuine, cannot excuse an assault to another person, let alone the killing of another human being."

I'm thinking this isn't an equation you wanna try solving in your head..."The study also says creating 50,000 new green energy jobs as promised by the governing Liberals will require ratepayer subsidies of about $200,000 a year for each position."Now, where did I leave my chainsaw and splitting axe?

Ahmed says he was wrong to marry off his daughter at 10 years old, wrong to force her to live with her husband in a far away province, and wrong to have beaten her for refusing to have sex with her husband.Unbelievable.
Now, he says, he will do anything to free her from the marriage.
Just make sure you go absolutely screamin' apeshit over the line... and nobody (legally anyway) will hold it against you...It was a crime so horrendous the judge found he could not be held criminally responsible for his acts, because no reasonable or rationale person could do such a thing.Of course... all this guy has to do is keep his head down for a few years and make a semblance of being sane... and they'll release him back into the larger field of folk.

In his report to the Toronto Police Services Board, Chief Bill Blair said none of the 329 people had any lasting injuries from use of the "conducted energy weapons."That's funny... those 20 deaths? Sun reporter Ian Robertson fails to mention what period of time is involved here... or the fact that this number is also country-wide.
Police are criticized for using the devices, but although linked to 20 people's deaths in Canada, coroners concluded all had other medical conditions.

The chimp’s owner Sandra Herold, 70, tried to stop her rampaging pet, Travis, by stabbing him with a butcher knife and hitting him with a shovel, but the chimpanzee fended off the attack and then stormed a police car that had responded to the scene, Conklin said.
The ape ripped off the side-view mirror of the police car, banged on the car and opened the driver’s side door, leading the officer to shoot the chimp several times with his pistol, Conklin said.
P.S. -- For the record, it was a political appointee, a career bureaucrat with no police experience whatsoever... who wants to back off on using tasers.Two young people were injured after they were apparently pushed in front of a train at a downtown subway station, police say. Emergency crews were called to Dufferin station where the "young men" were found on the tracks around 4:45 p.m., Toronto Police Sgt. John Dubreuil said.*

In what may be the first mention of bear spray in a Throne Speech, the NDP government recently vowed to "limit access to animal repellants, which in the past have been used in burglaries and assaults."I guess there's a more honourable class of criminals out west... if this is actually an effective solution.
And as of Jan. 1, the province mandated all bear-spray vendors to acquire a licence and record each customer who buys the substance. Most retailers had already required customers to sign a declaration saying they would only use the spray in case of a dog or bear attack.We've had bear spray around "the halls" since we moved up here in 2001.
