The San Jose shooter who murdered eight people, Samuel Cassidy, was also an accused rapist who said by his former girlfriend to be a violent, bipolar man who would force himself on her, as we read in the <a href="https://archive.is/nbXwj#selection-2721.0-2746.0">San Fransisco Chronicle</a>:

In a harrowing sworn declaration in March 2009, the woman, who was 45 at the time, described a volatile on-and-off relationship with Samuel James Cassidy, 57, that lasted about a year and ended on that Valentine’s Day when she refused to engage in anal sex with him.

Cassidy said he would travel to Monterey with his then-girlfriend, where she had booked a getaway for the pair, but only if she acquiesced to his sexual desires, the woman wrote. The Chronicle is not naming the woman because she is an alleged victim of sexual assault.
Police said Cassidy, named as the suspected shooter in several published reports, came to the transit agency’s maintenance yard in San Jose before 6:30 a.m. on Wednesday morning and shot to death eight coworkers, while wounding several others, before killing himself.

The Texas senate just approved of a bill that would ban abortion even fine abortion clinics at least $100,000. But, this bill would only take effect if the Supreme Court “wholly or partly” overturns Roe v. Wade (which is highly unlikely, but I still have hope that it comes to pass), as we read on <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/555480-texas-senate-approves-bill-to-ban-abortion-if-roe-v-wade-is-overturned">the Hill</a>:
<blockquote readability="24.703241895262">
The Texas state Senate approved a bill on Tuesday that would ban abortion in the state if the U.S. Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade, the landmark decision that granted women the right to abortion.
<a href="https://legiscan.com/TX/text/HB1280/id/2402603">The legislation</a>, known as a “trigger” bill, is headed to Gov. Greg Abbott’s (R) desk.
Abbott will likely sign the legislation into law after he <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/554319-texas-governor-signs-fetal-heartbeat-abortion-bill">approved a bill last week</a> that bans virtually all abortions in the state after a fetal heartbeat is detected.
The “trigger” bill, however, if signed by Abbott, would not take effect unless the Supreme Court “wholly or partly” overturns Roe v. Wade.
…
According to The Dallas Morning News, the bill would also establish a civil penalty for abortion providers of at least $100,000, and their licenses would be revoked if they violate the ban.

The ISIS sympathiser was hatching a conspiracy to carry out a terrorist attack in the city of Norilsk during a parade celebrating the country’s Victory Day on May 9.
According to Russian news agency TASS, the FSB in its statement<a href="https://tass.com/emergencies/1293455" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank"> said:</a> “The Federal Security Service thwarted a terrorist attack in the Krasnoyarsk Region.

The Russian internal security and counterintelligence service also raided the terrorist’s house in Norilsk from where it recovered a cache of explosives and terrorist manuals from the basement.
“His communication means contain manuals for making explosive devices, as well as correspondence proving the terrorist’s attempts to incite several individuals to carry out an explosion in a column of troops marching in the Victory Day parade,” the FSB said.

UN Report: 30% Of ISIS Fighters Put On Trial Have Been Sentenced To Death

<div><img class="ff-og-image-inserted" src="https://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/My-Post-2021-05-26T182504.162.jpg" /></div>
An interesting article was published by The National News, talking about recent trials for ISIS fighters in Iraq. The United Nations Assistance Mission to Iraq (Unami) has observed over six hundred of these trials and reported that 30% of them ended in the death penalty, as we read in the <a href="https://www.thenationalnews.com/opinion/comment/iraq-is-in-a-legal-mess-over-isis-and-the-west-has-made-it-worse-1.1230464">article</a>:
<blockquote readability="37">
Representatives from the UN Assistance Mission to Iraq (Unami) observed 619 of these cases. In a report, they wrote that Iraq “has made considerable efforts to ensure accountability” and that Unami “generally observed efficiency, structure and order in the conduct of judicial proceedings”.
There’s always a “but”.
“Nonetheless,” the report continues, “the findings show serious concerns.” These include violations of fair trial standards, an overreliance on confessions, frequent allegations of torture and a lack of transparency.
One of the biggest problems, Unami notes, is that all ISIS-related prosecutions are tried under Iraq’s wide-ranging 2005 counterterrorism law. It is applied to a broad range of offences, in effect maximising the conviction rate. The death penalty can be used for as minor a charge as simply having been associated with a terrorist group. Thirty per cent of the sentencing hearings Unami attended resulted in the death penalty – 10 times the rate it saw in non-terrorism-related criminal cases.
Several of the ISIS suspects tried in 2019 were alleged foreign fighters. One French suspect, Mustapha Merzoughi, met his attorney just minutes before a short trial in which he was sentenced to death.
“Many judges are not necessarily seeking harsh penalties,” an Iraqi judge told Unami officials. “The law does not give much choice.”

William Shakespeare, Second In UK To Get Covid Vaccine, Dies Of Stroke

An 81-year-old man who became the second person in the UK to receive a COVID-19 vaccine has died of an unrelated illness. William Shakespeare, who goes by Bill, died of a stroke. Mr Shakespeare was a patient at University Hospitals Coventry's frailty ward when he received his first dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech jab in early December.
Then, he had gained international attention not just because of his age but also because he shared his name with the world's greatest playwright and poet of the 16th century.
Mr Shakespeare was administered the COVID-19 vaccine on December 8, shortly after 91-year-old Margaret Keenan, the first person in the country to get the shot. Mr Shakespeare's friend and Coventry councillor Jayne Innes told the <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-coventry-warwickshire-57234741">BBC</a> he had died on Thursday and added the “best tribute to Bill is to have the jab”.
Mr Shakespeare had been a parish councillor for 30 years and chaired the council for 20 of those. “He was such a lovely man, one who had a real commitment to making his local area better,” Ms Jayne told <a href="https://www.coventrytelegraph.net/news/coventry-news/tributes-coventry-man-bill-shakespeare-20671590">Coventry Live</a>, a local news outlet.
In a tribute, his wife, Joy, said Mr Shakespeare felt very grateful and hugely proud of being offered the opportunity to become one of the first people in the world to be given the vaccine. Mr Shakespeare loved seeing the media coverage about him in December and would often talk about it to people to encourage them “to get their vaccine whenever he could," she added. Apart from his wife, Mr Shakespeare is survived by two adult sons and grandchildren.
The West Midlands Labour group said on Twitter that Mr Shakespeare's decades of service to the party were recently recognised. “Our thoughts are with Joy and Bill's family and friends."

Top China, United States Trade Officials Hold "Candid" First Talks

<div class="ins_instory_dv">
<div class="ins_instory_dv_cont"><img alt="Top China, United States Trade Officials Hold 'Candid' First Talks" src="https://c.ndtvimg.com/2019-07/kjkgh1n_us-china-trade-war-reuters_625x300_16_July_19.jpg" title="Top China, United States Trade Officials Hold 'Candid' First Talks" /></div>
The top United States and Chinese trade officials have held their first "candid" talks.
</div>
Beijing, China:
Top US and Chinese trade officials have held their first "candid" talks since Joe Biden became president, the two sides said Thursday, as Washington scrutinises whether Beijing is sticking to a key agreement forged during a bruising tariffs battle between the economic superpowers.
Trade relations between the two will be a major plank in the new US leader's foreign and economic policy as he looks to maintain the pressure on China imposed by predecessor Donald Trump, while looking to tread a more diplomatic line.
The countries signed a so-called "phase one" pact in January last year, in which Beijing pledged to increase its purchases of American products and services by at least $200 billion through 2020 and 2021.
The deal came at the end of long-running negotiations during a trade war that saw each hit the other with punitive tariffs on hundreds of billions of dollars worth of goods and damaged relations.
But top US trade negotiator Katherine Tai has said she is analysing whether the terms of the pact have been met by China, with some experts saying Beijing is falling up to 40 percent short on its agreement.
On Thursday, China's commerce ministry said Vice Premier Liu He and Tai held "candid, pragmatic" talks and "constructive exchanges in an attitude of equality and mutual respect".
Under the agreement, the pair are meant to check in every six months on the progress of the agreement.
It commits China to buying tens of billions of dollars' worth of American agricultural goods -- from pork and beef to blueberries and avocados -- energy and services in exchange for slashing Trump's tariffs on $120 billion of imports from China.
The deal also knits China into guarantees to protect intellectual property -- addressing a major US gripe that patents, trademarks and copyright are routinely flouted by Chinese businesses -- while also ensuring American banks and insurers have wider access to China's financial markets.
However, it did not deal with a 25 percent levy on a further $250 billion of Chinese goods remains, which is potential target of a long-trailed "phase two" deal.
A short statement from the Office of the US Trade Representative confirmed the "introductory virtual meeting" between Tai and He.
"During their candid exchange," Tai laid out the "guiding principles of the Biden-Harris Administration's worker-centred trade policy... while also raising issues of concern," the statement added.
The White House has not rowed back on Trump's tough trade position, insisting it will keep tariffs in place for now as it looks to reboot the US economy after the pandemic crisis.
On its side, China has maintained duties on some imports from the United States.
Early on, Trump's trade war bit hard into many sectors of Chinese manufacturing -- raising prices of everything from imported shoes to packaging.
But China's tit-for-tat response also ripped into US jobs and businesses.
While most global economies continue to find their way out of the virus-induced crisis, China is well on the recovery road -- having managed to largely contain the disease -- with exports soaring thanks to worldwide demand for medical masks and protective gear.
