A 17-year-old student and a teacher were so badly injured in a mass brawl in front of the Schmellwitz secondary school in the north of Cottbus on Monday that they had to be taken to hospital.
The teacher had tried to break up a dispute after several individuals, believed to be of a migration background and not students at the school, attacked a student.
Another person was also injured but was able to walk again after brief treatment on-site.
According to the police, four men, who are not students at the school themselves, came into the schoolyard at around 11:30 a.m. on Monday. There, a verbal argument initially developed with the 17-year-old, and the brawl then moved outside the school grounds.
The police said that the four suspects and the victim were German, Syrian, and Libyan nationals. In the meantime, four youths from the aggressive group, which had grown to around 30 people after a short time, had been arrested. After their personal details were recorded, they were handed back to their parents or guardians.
Not the first case at the Cottbus secondary school
The officers were unable to provide any information on the motive of the attackers. According to the current state of the investigation, however, the judiciary assumes that the attackers and the victim must have known each other beforehand because the 17-year-old was specifically approached by the group. The police estimated the main group of attackers comprised between five and seven people, while others were merely onlookers.
Incidents of this kind are increasingly more common at the Schmellwitz secondary school. According to the authorities, there were 62 reports there in 2023, most of which were due to acts of violence. The school has almost 300 students, more than 22 percent of whom are foreigners and more than a third have a migrant background.
A 14-year-old girl who identifies as a “drag king” and is being transitioned to a “boy” has reportedly been performing sexually suggestive shows at LGBT clubs and bars across Vancouver, Canada. The minor, who is disabled and autistic, goes by “he/him/they/it” pronouns and is taking testosterone under the permission of her mother.
The child, who was born female but identifies as a “boy,” uses the stage name “Nova Tropica” and has performed in at least three LGBT bars in Vancouver, all of which are adult venues that serve alcohol. Among the clubs Nova has danced at are The Fountainhead Pub, Steamworks brewpub, and The Junction.
According to Gays Against Groomers, during her performance at The Foundationhead Pub, a gay bar located on Davie Street, the child danced with only tape covering the front of her breasts.
Nova maintains a YouTube channel where she often uploads footage of her performances.
In August of 2023, she shared a video of her dancing on stage in a bar to the song “Bubblegum B*tch” and is seen collecting dollar bills from audience members. In another video, Nova is seen dancing alone to the Britney Spears’ controversial song “If U Seek Amy,” which is intended to sound out the letters “F-U-C-K me.”
In some of the videos posted to her YouTube account, she is seen dancing to an adult crowd wearing only a cut-out bathing suit, an outfit she has also posed in for photos shared to her social media while wearing clear, stiletto “pleasers,” a form of platform high-heel most frequently associated with stripping, pole dancing, and the sex trade.
As well as posting footage of her performances to YouTube, Nova also maintains an Instagram page where she posts clips of herself dancing on stage while exclusively adult crowds cheer her on. In many of the videos, Nova is wearing revealing clothing and, during one performance, she even spreads her legs for the audience.
“The only way they could even correlate is through the way I view my gender,” Nova said in the caption of one post where she described herself as a “demon boy” and said she’s “everything Lucifer wants her to be.”
In another post, in which she wears a cut-out swimsuit she has performed in, Nova said she “loves” how testosterone is starting to affect her muscle definition.
Nova’s transition has been supported by her mother Chrysta. On her own Instagram page, Chrysta posted about how she had been struggling to access hormones for her daughter since she was just 11 years old.
In the post, Chrysta acknowledges that Nova is experiencing poor mental health, but attributes her condition to “being born in the wrong body.” She also condemns the Canadian political parties attempting to pass legislation which would protect children from medical transitioning.
“I will not allow any government to MURDER my child,” Chrysta said in one post. “Forcing a child to live in a body that is not authentic to their person is MURDER.”
The post was made in reference to the People’s Party of Canada, which developed a 7-point plan to protect women and children from the harmful effects of gender ideology, such as banning men from women’s spaces and sports and banning genital mutilation surgeries and cross-sex hormones for minors.
Not only has Chrysta facilitated Nova’s transition, but she also confesses to monitoring her social media, meaning she is aware of the inappropriate videos and photos being posted online of her minor daughter.
In one post, she addressed rumors that an adult Drag King had behaved inappropriately in messages with her young daughter, claiming the concerns were “false accusations.”
But her notice was not the only suggestion that Nova has been in contact with adult drag performers.
On Instagram, Nova spoke about attending a youth summer “drag camp” hosted by “Rose Butch” and “DeeDee LaCraze.”
DeeDee LaCraze also operates a YouTube channel called “Drag4Kids” where he has made multiple videos in full drag singing nursery rhymes. LaCraze hosts his youth drag camp along side Rose Butch, a trans identified female who calls herself a “non-binary drag thing.”
The summer camp, held in July 2023, was made available for children as young as 7.
Arguably one of the most well-known “drag kids” is Desmond Napoles, who goes by the name “Desmond is Amazing.” Desmond rose to fame at only 11 years old in 2017 after being featured on RuPaul’s Drag Race. Soon after, the child appeared in YouTube and Facebook streams alongside adult men, and was even filmed joking about snorting ketamine.
With the increase in “drag kids” has come further scrutiny of the sexual predators involved in the drag scene. In 2022, a “drag kid” mentor and a former elementary school teaching assistant faced child pornography charges following an investigation into exploitative material shared on the internet.
A 16-year-old minor who posted on a Telegram channel that he wanted to obtain the necessary elements to make an explosive belt in order to die as a martyr in the name of the Islamic caliphate was arrested on Tuesday April 23 at his parents’ home in Marignier (Haute-Savoie), according to our information. He is a French citizen and is being monitored due to his radicalisation. During the house search, his mobile phone, handwritten documents, including a pledge of allegiance to the Islamic State, and drawings of Daesh, Hamas and Hezbollah flags were found, a police source told Valeurs actuelles. During his interrogation, the teenager, who was taken into police custody by the DGSI, admitted that he had sworn allegiance to the Islamic State and had planned to commit a terrorist suicide attack with an AK-47 rifle (Kalashnikov) or an explosive belt during the Olympic Games in Paris this summer in La Défense. Following a tip-off about the suspect’s statements, the local public prosecutor’s office referred the matter to the Department of Organised and Specialised Crime (DCOS). In the meantime, the National Anti-Terrorism Prosecutor’s Office (PNAT) has taken over the further investigation.
Two NGOs have filed a complaint of “complicity in crimes against humanity” against the EU’s former head of border management, Fabrice Leggeri, just weeks before he is expected to be elected as an MEP for the national conservative Rassemblement National (RN).
His alleged crime? Trying to prevent illegal immigrants entering the EU. Which many might think sounds like doing his job as head of Frontex, the EU border management agency.
The NGOs filed the civil complaint against Leggeri in Paris on Monday, alleging that he engaged in human rights abuses by obstructing open border groups operating on the Mediterranean and enabling so-called ‘pushback’ operations against illegal migrants during his tenure leading Frontex between 2015 and 2022.
The claims centre around Frontex’s cooperation with the Libyan coastguard when Leggeri was at the helm. NGOs allege that returning the migrants to Libya made Leggeri and the organisation potentially complicit in “crimes against humanity”.
Leggeri has dismissed the allegations as “political manoeuvres to discredit me and discredit the RN list during the European elections.”
“When I was director of Frontex from 2015 to 2022, the European agency saved more than 350,000 migrants at sea in accordance with [the] international law of the sea,” he added.
Leggeri garnered headlines in February after the RN announced he would be their number three candidate for the EU elections. He said that Eurocrats “do not consider [migration] as a problem, but rather as a project: I can testify to this.”
The civil case against Leggeri has been lodged by the left-wing NGOs Ligue des Droits de l’Homme (LDH) and Utopia 56, both noted for their state and even corporate funding in the French press. Known for its work establishing refugee camps around France, most notably in Calais, Utopia 56 has previously used lawfare to frustrate authorities. The open border group on Tuesday released a statement accusing Legerri of having links to the use of torture by Libyan and Greek officials.
Leggeri went on the offensive on social media, saying that “defamation complaints are already being prepared against several members of LFI [the far left party La France Insoumise] who have publicly made this kind of totally unfounded accusations.” The politician is expected to be an influential figure within the Brussels Right after June alongside RN’s president Jordan Bardella, who heads the party’s list.
Leggeri has the strong backing of his party colleagues. RN MEP Patricia Chagnon-Clevers defended the former Frontex boss at the EU Parliament’s Home Affairs Committee, specifically pointing out the tendency of “representatives of the ‘camp of good’ to judge people guilty without even hearing them.”
Migration is expected to be a leading issue in June’s European elections, with EU attempts to mediate the flow of illegals into Europe with the Migration Pact branded by many populists as a cynical electoral plot to reassure voters.
An Albanian migrant in Vienna who stabbed his ex-girlfriend 42 times with a knife until the blade fell off is standing trial for attempted murder.
The 40-year-old defendant, who has not been named by the Exxpress newspaper, waited in a park in front of his victim’s home in Vienna-Liesing on Oct. 27 last year as he prepared to follow up threats made the day before during which he told her she would not see her next birthday.
“You won’t live to see your birthday on Nov. 5! Your brother will put flowers on your grave,” the public prosecutor told the court as they recounted the defendant’s warning to his 40-year-old victim.
The Vienna regional court on Tuesday heard how the woman was attacked from behind in the courtyard outside her home where she was stabbed 12 times in the neck, face, and back with a knife.
The attack was committed with such force that the blade broke off, prompting the Albanian national to grab a screwdriver and use it to stab her 30 more times.
Despite the brutality of the attack, the woman managed to fight back and free herself. However, her attacker caught up with her as she ran and inflicted further blows on a nearby sidewalk.
Passers-by who saw the attack ran over to the woman causing her attacker to flee.
Emergency responders arrived on the scene, and police officers arrested the suspect near to the crime scene.
The victim was hospitalized for two days before being allowed to return home with significant injuries.
In a victim impact statement, the woman explained how the man “didn’t stop” and that she still has recurring nightmares following the attack. She also rarely leaves her apartment alone.
The court heard how the pair had met on Facebook back in 2021 and that the Albanian migrant was already married. They began an affair and the victim was assured multiple times by her boyfriend that he would leave his wife, but after growing tired of broken promises to do so, she ended the relationship.
The court heard how the defendant couldn’t accept the relationship ending and sought revenge. However, he insisted the victim had become jealous and threatened to tell his wife about the affair.
“She wanted to destroy my family,” he told the court.
When questioned about the attack, the defendant denied the charge of attempted murder, insisting he “never intended to kill her” and just wanted to “hurt her a little bit.”
“I aimed at her arms so that I didn’t hit any organs,” he said, while his defense attorney claimed he had only “wanted to teach her a lesson.”
During a politics lecture at Kassel University, lecturer Oliver Pye had students chant an antifa slogan three times in succession. He asked the 200 or so students to join him in shouting “Alerta, alerta, antifascista!”. Each time the shout became louder and louder in the lecture theatre, as a video shows according to a media report.
According to a student quoted by the newspaper Frankfurter Rundschau, Pye then said that Nazis and all those on the right should leave the room. There was loud applause in return. The incident had already taken place a week ago, but had only now become public knowledge. The Association of Christian Democratic Students (RCDS) accused Pye in a press release of having “potentially violated the principles of academic neutrality and freedom”. He categorised conservative opinions as right-wing. In addition, the “violent Antifa was glorified”. The RCDS has now called in the university’s legal supervisory authority.
Pye has taken on a deputy professorship at the University of Kassel. He justified shouting the slogan to the newspaper Hessisch-Niedersächsische Allgemeine with the “resurgence of fascism in Europe”.
The university management criticised Pye’s behaviour. A spokesperson said on enquiry that repeating slogans was considered problematic: “The President made this clear in a personal conversation.” There are no further consequences.
The families of the teenagers said they were horrified by the language used by officers in the aftermath of their deaths.
One message sent by an officer said: “So 2 students on Ilkeston Road have been proper butchered, 4 section [officers] turned up and tried to hold their inners in. Suspects then made off and attacked a man in a car on magdala [road] and stabbed him to death.”
Another officer, PC Matt Gell, then shared the WhatsApp message with his wife and a friend.
Both the unidentified officer and Gell have since been reprimanded, however, the details were held behind closed doors and the families only found out about the message in February, The Times has reported.
Emma Webber, the mother of Barnaby, has now written an open letter to the officers in the WhatsApp group where the message was published.
She said that she only gone public with the information because Chief Constable Kate Meynell, whose son was on the WhatsApp group, has refused to pass a private letter to its members explaining the effect of their words.
“The callous, degrading and desensitised manner of your comments have caused more trauma than you can imagine,” she wrote in the publication the officers.
“When you say ‘a couple of students have been properly butchered’ did you stop to think about the absolute terror that they felt in the moment when they were ambushed and repeatedly stabbed by a man who had planned his attack and lay waiting in the shadows for them?
“When you say ‘innards out and everything’ did you think about the agony they felt and the final thoughts that went through their minds as this vicious individual inflicted wounds so serious that they had no chance of surviving?”
Dr Sanjoy Kumar, Grace’s father, told The Telegraph that the messages “were as barbaric as the crime itself”.
“The message is so disgusting and shows there is no humanity left. Would anyone with a child, a mother, a relative use words like that?”
He questioned if the police in Nottingham had forgotten that they were referring to children in those messages.
“The message is as barbaric as the crime for me. I’m so, so disappointed by Nottinghamshire Police”, he continued.
Calocane, a paranoid schizophrenic, also killed 65-year-old caretaker Ian Coates. He was given an indefinite hospital order for manslaughter by diminished responsibility in January after Nottingham Crown Court heard he had been diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia.
Gell, who forwarded the message on, was given a written warning after he looked up information relating to Calocane despite having no part in the investigation, with a panel at a hearing later agreeing he had a “a lapse of judgment”.
Around 180 police staff were found to have viewed material relating to the case, with 11 of them having no “legitimate reason” to do so.
Nottinghamshire Police has since referred itself to the Independent Office for Police Conduct.
In Pedro Almodovar’s film, “La mala educación”, there is an amazing phrase from the protagonist, Ignacio: “I don’t believe in anything and therefore I’m not afraid of anything”. Here it is, the new spirit blowing in the West from Columbia University to the Biennale in Venice, one of the world’s most famous artistic festivals which opened this week in Italy.
A progressive, inclusive, anti-colonial Biennale open to the “South of the world”, where sexual gender and geographical origin count more than talent.
In a work exhibited in Spain’s national pavilion in the Venetian Gardens, Peruvian artist Sandra Gamarra compares the treatment of Palestinian Arabs to discrimination against transgender people. “Transbody is to normative heterosexuality what Palestine is to the West: a colony whose extent and form are perpetuated only through violence,” Gamarra wrote in the work.
Fabulous!
In the work at the Bienniale by the Mexican Frieda Toranzo Jaeger, we see a future characterized by queer freedom, ecologism and “Viva Palestina”, between a lesbian scene and a reference to Frida Kahlo.
Meanwhile, the ayatollahs, guests in Venice with an exhibition on the “human race” (brilliant), arrested an artist in Tehran who had dared to make fun of the mullahs, painting them in the form of animals. They also subjected her to a “virginity test”.
Fabulous!
Now we all live in the crazy and demented world of Judith Butler, who calls herself “they” but cannot distinguish a democracy that counts heads (Israel) from a caliphate that cuts them off (Gaza).
Now we have Netflix’s rainbow fairies, neutral bathrooms, transgender Homer, transbody, Ramadan crescents hanging in Europe’s de-Christianized cities and let us not forget universities like Columbia and Yale which resemble Nazi Germany.
When Western culture goes crazy, it attacks Jews. It happened in 1934 and it is happening in 2024.
The BBC has issued an apology for running a false report on Harry Potter novelist J.K. Rowling’s comments about transgenders, admitting that its reporting was “inaccurate” while also admonishing its journalists about the “importance of accuracy.”
In its original April 2 story, BBC Scotland reported that police declined to arrest Rowling for describing some transgender “women” as men. Apparently unhappy with the decision, the outlet erroneously claimed that the Hate Crime and Public Order (Scotland) Act 2021 “makes it a criminal offence to make derogatory comments based on disability, religion, sexual orientation, transgender identity or being intersex.”
It turns out that the BBC’s reporting about the act was false, as editors admitted in a correction issued this week.
“This was inaccurate and we should have referred to the Act creating a new crime where it is an offence if someone communicates material or behaves in a threatening or abusive manner with the intention of ‘stirring up hatred’ based on these protected characteristics,” the BBC said.
“We apologise for any confusion caused and have reminded our teams of the importance of accuracy in our output.”
This represents the third time the BBC has apologized for its coverage of Rowling and her views on transgenders, according to a Deadline report.
Last year, the BBC apologized for calling Rowling “transphobic” on BBC Radio Scotland’s Good Morning Scotland show. The same year, the BBC apologized for failing to challenge a guest whose accused Rowling of pushing “transphobia” on Radio 4‘s “PM” show.
