Top NFL Draft Pick Shot During Attempted Robbery in San Francisco
A first-round NFL draft pick was shot in the chest by a teen suspect during an attempted armed robbery in California just days ahead of the 2024 season opener, according to reports.
The shocking incident unfolded just after 3:30 p.m. on Saturday in downtown San Francisco.
Ricky Pearsall, a rookie wide receiver for the San Francisco 49ers, had just finished signing autographs at a local event before heading to Union Square.
Pearsall was confronted on a busy sidewalk by an armed thief, and during an ensuing struggle, a firearm was discharged multiple times.

‘We Were Left to Die’: Aurora Resident Blasts Colorado Gov For Dismissing Venezuelan Gang Takeover
A resident of Aurora, Colorado, who escaped from an apartment complex overrun by criminal Venezuelan gangs slammed Colorado Gov. Jared Polis (D) for dismissing reports of the gang takeover.
Cindy Romero joined Fox News on Friday to explain how Aurora Councilwoman Danielle Jurinsky has been reaching out to locals caught in the middle of the Tren de Aragua takeover of apartment complexes.
“Councilwoman Jurinsky, who has been amazing, I had this conversation with her. She said, ‘Do you still live there?’ And I said yes and she said, ‘I’m going to get you out of there,’” Romero said.

Gov. Polis dismissed Jurinsky’s warning’s about the gang takeover as a “figment of her imagination” despite the emergence of several videos showing gangs storming the complexes.
“The Governor has already let the Mayor know that the State is ready to support the local police department with assistance from state troopers and the Colorado Bureau of Investigation if needed,” Shelby Wieman, a spokesperson for the Democratic governor, told the New York Post on Thursday.
“But, according to police intelligence this purported invasion is largely a feature of Danielle Jurinsky’s imagination.”
Romero pointed out the videos circulating on social media taken from outside her residence are compelling proof the gang takeovers are occurring.
“You can’t fake video. And Polis wouldn’t last 5 minutes on that property,” Romero said.

Jurinsky also responded to Polis’s remarks, criticizing him for allowing Colorado to be turned into a gang “breeding ground.”
“I absolutely did not make any of this up. I love that that is how our governor has quickly rushed in to say that that’s the actual problem here,” she said. “But the actual problem here are his weak policies that have turned this state into a breeding ground for this gang activity.”
Romero agreed, telling host John Roberts that Polis and other Democrat leaders “don’t want to admit that they are part of the problem.”
“It’s the administration who we count on to make the rules for us, to make the guidelines that we go by. I call 911, no help comes for me,” she said. “There’s no mass amounts of police that show up to make sure that we’re defended. No one showed up to help me. I didn’t have a bulletproof vest. I didn’t have 5 officers showing up with me when there was a problem.”
“We were on our own and we were left to die,” she added.
Aurora Mayor Mike Coffman also pushed back on Polis’ denial of these gang takeovers, saying he’s launched an investigation into where exactly these gangs came from who paid for the operation.
“I’m trying to walk it back and do the investigation as to how there’s a concentration of Venezuelans, in these, these three buildings,” he said.

“Somebody put them there and somebody funded it, whether it’s federal government or not, we’re trying to find out who, these gangs apparently, or attracted to where there’s a concentration of, of, Venezuelan migrants. And so, they’ve, in fact, have kind of pushed out the property management through intimidation and then, collected the rents.”
Coffman also said the Biden administration may be directly responsible for the proliferation of Venezuelan gangs in the community.
“[This is] not our problem, federal problem or issue. They need to resolve it. Not us. But somehow we got sucked into this,” he said.
“I think we’re a victim of a failed policy at the southern border because, what you have, I, Venezuelan, does not according to to my law enforcement, Venezuela does not cooperate with the United States in sharing criminal histories. You had a third of the country leave,” the mayor added.
The Guardian: ‘Regulators Around The World Should Threaten Musk With Arrest’
America’s tiniest tyrant Robert Reich has a new column in The Guardian calling on regulators around the world to “threaten” Elon Musk “with arrest” for allowing too much free speech.
From The Guardian, “Elon Musk is out of control. Here is how to rein him in”:
Here are six ways to rein in Musk:
1. Boycott Tesla.
Consumers shouldn’t be making him even richer and able to do even more harm. A Tesla boycott may have already begun. A recent poll said one-third of Britons are less likely to buy a Tesla because of Musk’s recent behavior.
2. Advertisers should boycott X.
A coalition of major advertisers has organized such a boycott. Musk is suing them under antitrust law. “We tried peace for 2 years, now it is war,” he wrote on X, referring to advertisers who criticize him and X.
3. Regulators around the world should threaten Musk with arrest if he doesn’t stop disseminating lies and hate on X.
Global regulators may be on the way to doing this, as evidenced by the 24 August arrest in France of Pavel Durov, who founded the online communications tool Telegram, which French authorities have found complicit in hate crimes and disinformation. Like Musk, Durov has styled himself as a free speech absolutist.
4. In the United States, the Federal Trade Commission should demand that Musk take down lies that are likely to endanger individuals – and if he does not, sue him under Section Five of the FTC Act.
Musk’s free-speech rights under the first amendment don’t take precedence over the public interest. Two months ago, the US supreme court said federal agencies may pressure social media platforms to take down misinformation – a technical win for the public good (technical because the court based its ruling on the plaintiff’s lack of standing to sue).
5. The US government – and we taxpayers – have additional power over Musk, if we’re willing to use it. The US should terminate its contracts with him, starting with Musk’s SpaceX.
In 2021, the United States entered into a $1.8bn classified contract with SpaceX that includes blasting off classified and military satellites, according to the Wall Street Journal. The funds are now an important part of SpaceX’s revenue.
[…] 6. Make sure Musk’s favorite candidate for president is not elected.
The way Reich spins it, the US government shutting down all free speech is actually a revolutionary people’s movement rising up against the “world’s richest man!”
Reich, who is Jewish, wrote an article in April on the pro-Palestine protests claiming he’s for free speech on college campuses — though he added there must be “a limit.”
“[U]niversities should go out of their way to tolerate expression that may make some people uncomfortable,” Reich wrote. “To tar all offensive speech ‘hate speech’ and ban it removes a central pillar of education. Of course, it’s offensive. It is designed to offend.”
“There is a limit, of course,” he continued. “Expression that targets specific students, ‘doxes’ them, or otherwise aims to hurt them as individuals doesn’t invite learning. It is a form of intimidation. It should not be allowed.”
In other words, he supports the free speech carveouts for college campuses that the Anti-Defamation League lobbied for to make criticism of Jews and “Zionists” a form of “hate speech” (by claiming such criticism creates a “hostile environment” for Jewish students in violation of Civil Rights law).
Your free speech ends where pampered Jewish Ivy League students’ feelings begin!
Iranian Investigators Blame Helicopter Crash That Killed Raisi on Bad Weather – Report
The helicopter crash that killed Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi in May was primarily caused by poor weather conditions, the final report released on Sunday by the Iranian military headquarters concluded.
The General Staff of the Armed Forces said in the report, shared by state news broadcaster IRIB, that adverse climate conditions in northwestern Iran and a surprise fog caused the helicopter to crash into a mountain slope.
The May 19 crash also killed Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian and several other senior Iranian officials, prompting a snap election.
The results of the probe will be presented to Iran’s supreme leader, Ali Khamenei.

Putin’s Remarks About Biden Also True for VP Harris, Kremlin Says
MOSCOW (Sputnik) – Russian President Vladimir Putin’s recent remark about the predictability of US President Joe Biden also applies to his vice president turned presidential candidate, Kamala Harris, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Sunday.
Asked whether Russia would prefer to see Joe Biden or Donald Trump as the next US president, Putin described Biden as more preferable because he was more experienced and predictable.
“We do not have a favorite candidate, but the Democrats are certainly more predictable. What Putin said about Biden’s predictability applies to almost all Democrats, including Mrs. Harris,” Peskov said in a recorded interview published on social media.
Peskov lamented the state of US-Russian relations, saying tensions between the two were at their highest, having reached a breaking point under the Biden administration.
“They have reached the breaking point… The last drop fell,” he said.
When asked about the future of Democrats’ policy on Russia and the European Union, Peskov said it was also easy to predict.
“It is all predictable. They will stick to the same policy toward us, they will predictably continue to put pressure on EU member states, and they will continue to enslave those countries politically and economically,” he said.

US Involvement in Ukrainian Conflict
The United States is directly involved in the Ukrainian conflict, despite numerous statements to the contrary, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov added.
“The United States, despite many statements to the contrary, is directly involved in the conflict around Ukraine. It is demonstrating a tendency toward increasing the level of involvement in this conflict,” Peskov said in a recorded interview published on Telegram on Sunday.
The spokesman accused Washington of “an undisguised hostile attitude” toward Russia. He said the US had spent decades piling pressure on Russia and trampling on its interests.
Trump Won’t Solve All Problems Overnight
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump will not be able to resolve all problems overnight if elected, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Sunday.
Trump has repeatedly promised during the presidential campaign to settle the conflict between Ukraine and Russia in 24 hours after coming into the White House.
“I do not think he has a magic wand or that anything can be done overnight,” Peskov said in a recorded interview published on social media, commenting on Trump’s campaign promises.
The Kremlin spokesman rejected as impossible speculations that a new US president could announce an end to US military support for Ukraine and call on the parties to sit down at the negotiating table in their inaugural speech in January 2025.
Peskov said relations between Russia and the United States had hit rock bottom under Biden and looked unsalvageable for the time being.
“Mr Biden’s presidency has become the culmination of all processes in our bilateral relations. They are probably at their historic low at the moment,” Peskov said, adding that so far, he had seen no prospects for them “entering a growth trajectory.”
