8-month-old boy among 3 shot to death after teen pulls gun, opens fire at community festival near Salt Lake City: Police



Police officers on duty at the annual WestFest carnival in West Valley City, Utah — which is about 20 minutes southwest of Salt Lake City — noticed two groups of people arguing around 9:20 p.m. Sunday, police said.

As officers approached the groups to break things up, police said a 16-year-old male from one of the groups pulled a gun and opened fire.

'I don't even know how to explain this night.'

Police said the following victims were fatally shot: 18-year-old Hassan Lugundi of West Valley City — a male from one of the arguing groups; 41-year-old Fnu Reena — a female bystander from West Jordan; and an 8-month-old boy whose name authorities won't release.

According to KSTU-TV, the 41-year-old female victim and the infant victim were not connected to each other.

Police said gunfire struck two teens — a 17-year-old female and a 15-year-old male — in their arms. Police added that it's not clear if the two wounded teens were connected to the arguing groups.

The 16-year-old male suspect was taken into custody, police said, adding that an officer fired but didn't hit the suspect. Police also said the suspect was taken to the police station for questioning.

Salt Lake County District Attorney Sim Gill told KSTU it's too early to determine if the teen suspect will be charged as a juvenile or as an adult.

“We have not yet screened the case. Whether a case is filed in a juvenile or district court is a decision that is made at time of filing," Gill said in a statement, according to KSTU. "It would be premature for us to talk about these matters at this time."

Sunday was the final day of the four-day event, which took place at Centennial Park and featured "food, fun, and festivities" such as music and carnival rides.

A shocked employee of a business located next to the park told Blaze News on Monday afternoon that he feels "bad for what happened" and added that it was completely out of the ordinary for the area.

"I'd definitely say it was a one-off," the worker noted to Blaze News before acknowledging the "dark" nature of the crime.

A pregnant woman also was injured while trying to climb a fence to flee the scene, KUTV-TV reported.

Roxeanne Vainuku — public information officer for West Valley City police — told KUTV that "it's heartbreaking, I think for all of us, to see something like this happen at something that is just a real treasure, something that we really enjoy in our community."

Vainuku added to the station that it's not clear if the shooting was gang-related. KUTV also said police won't release the name of the suspect since he's a juvenile.

"I don't even know how to explain this night," one witness told KSTU. "I am traumatized. I don't think I would ever go to a fair, especially if they're not checking the people that walk in."

Another witness added to KSTU: "I was very scared because I'm not used to hearing gunshots, and I almost had a panic attack because that was scary."

There’s No Point In Arguing With Democrats About Trump

There is not a single fact, much less a body of them, that you and a lefty can agree upon to start a conversation about The Orange Man.

Labeling you ‘phobic’ is how the left dodges real arguments



No one wants to be called a coward. But fear is a natural and important human emotion. It gives us caution and hesitance in situations that pose a danger to oneself or others. Nevertheless, fear must be rational, and it must be controlled. Being afraid of the wrong things — or being excessively afraid of things that pose trivial risks — can be crippling.

Despite being a core component of human experience, fear is stigmatized in our society. Americans, in general, tend to be risk-takers. We instinctively recoil at cowardice. So it’s strange that the people who are dedicated to “destigmatizing” everything in our society are the same ones who work tirelessly to amplify the stigma attached to fear.

Don’t accept the framing. Don’t let the debate become a psychiatric evaluation. Don’t apologize for noticing reality.

Here, I refer to a common trend in political discourse — the left’s attribution of “phobias” to political opponents. You know the epithets: homophobia, Islamophobia, xenophobia, transphobia. Some may bristle at the claim that this fixation on phobias is a strategic tactic used exclusively by the political left. But it’s undeniable: What equivalent “phobic” label do conservatives use to discredit progressives?

We don’t have an equivalent.

Are we to believe, then, that the political left is without fear? Certainly not. Many progressives treat Christianity with the same suspicion that some on the right harbor for the LGBTQ agenda. No one calls the former group “Christophobes,” but the latter are routinely charged as homophobic. Globalists often disdain the nationalist politics of identity, referring to nationalists as xenophobes. But no one calls the Americans who disparage everything about our nation “oikophobes” (people with an irrational fear of home).

This double standard shows that the labeling of “phobias” is a rhetorical strategy. But how does it work?

Abusing the ‘phobic’ label

Start by asking who gets branded “phobic” — and for what. These days, it doesn’t take much. Express moral concerns about “gender reassignment” surgeries for children? You’re a transphobe. Feel fatigued by the endless parade of “Pride” observances on the calendar? You’re a homophobe. Object to the illegal entry of millions of unvetted foreigners? You’re a xenophobe — just another American unwilling to embrace people “searching for a better life.”

The ease with which the left assigns the “phobic” label undermines its credibility. Can someone oppose gay marriage without harboring fear of gay people? Can a citizen reject open borders as reckless policy without fearing foreigners? Can one favor vetting immigrants from Muslim-majority countries without fearing Muslims as a group?

Two answers follow. The first, and more reasonable, says yes — of course people can hold such views without irrational fear. That would make the “phobic” smear inaccurate. But if that’s true, why does the left cling so fiercely to these labels? The second answer assumes the opposite: that you must be afraid — of gays, of immigrants, of Muslims — if you hold such views. But if every opinion stems from fear, then “phobia” becomes a catch-all insult, not a diagnosis.

And yet the accusation sticks. Why?

Exploiting social fears

The power of the “phobic” label stems from how society treats fear. We treat fear not as a natural response, but as a sign of weakness or irrationality — especially when aimed at supposedly harmless things.

Admitting fear carries a social cost. Labeling someone “phobic” pressures the person to conform, not through persuasion but through social coercion. It’s a tactic, not an argument. It manipulates the desire for status and respect by suggesting the presence of a psychological defect. And it works — not because it’s true, but because it shames.

Blaze Media

Are unvetted illegal immigrants always harmless? No. Most aren’t violent, but some are dangerous. Yet the “xenophobic” smear exists to deny that fact and humiliate anyone who dares say it aloud. Does importing large numbers of military-age men from Yemen pose no threat? Some Yemenis are admirable people. But recent history offers proof that some have come here to commit acts of terrorism. Labeling such concerns “Islamophobic” is an attempt to gaslight the public — dismissing valid fears and punishing the act of remembering.

Diagnosing as ‘crazy’

The label does more than stigmatize. It diagnoses. “Phobia” is a clinical term. To call someone a homophobe isn’t just to accuse the person of bigotry; it’s to classify the person as mentally ill. Arachnophobes are “crazy.” Agoraphobes are crazy. And society doesn’t argue with crazy people — it ignores them. Once someone becomes “irrational,” you don’t debate that person. You dismiss him. His views no longer require engagement. They require containment.

Attaching a “phobic” label turns political opposition into psychological pathology. It justifies censorship and marginalization. Ironically, the only people the left eagerly diagnoses and silences are those it brands with a phobia. So much for compassion around mental illness.

Conservatives must reject this tactic outright. Don’t accept the framing. Don’t let the debate become a psychiatric evaluation. Don’t apologize for noticing reality. Push back, not only by refusing the label but by highlighting the contradiction. If leftists truly care about destigmatizing mental illness, they should stop flinging “phobia” at every disagreement. Expose the hypocrisy. Force them to play by their own rules — and win.

Agree to disagree? More like surrender to the script



Wouldn’t you know it? It was bound to happen.

You’re chatting with a friend about this, that, and the other thing — carefully steering clear of politics, just like always.

You both know you don't see eye to eye when it comes to today’s contentious political landscape, so you do your best to keep things light. But then, out of nowhere, the forbidden topic appears. It sneaks into the conversation, innocently enough — until suddenly, it’s front and center.

I knew my friend Jeffrey didn’t like Trump, so I always tried to avoid politics when we talked. But somehow, I found myself on the phone with him getting a lecture on “how bad Trump is for democracy.”

What happened?

All I did was mention a film I thought we both appreciate: “Bonhoeffer: Pastor. Spy. Assassin.”

With people in general justifying the absolute obvious craziness of the far left by being silent and looking the other way, we can announce a brand-new term: ‘political immaturity.’

I genuinely believed it was a safe topic. We’re both Christians, both admirers of Dietrich Bonhoeffer and his courageous stand against Hitler and the Nazis. We also share respect for Eric Metaxas, whose book on Bonhoeffer many consider the definitive biography and which inspired the film adaptation.

Plus, Jeffrey knows I was Metaxas’ radio producer for many years. So really, I thought we were on solid, non-controversial ground.

But Jeffrey immediately jumped in to point out that Bonhoeffer’s descendants don’t support Eric Metaxas — because Metaxas supports Trump. That, in his view, proved just how awful Trump is and, dare I say it, how Hitler-like. From there, it was only a short leap to his inevitable conclusion: Trump is bad for democracy.

I calmly responded that descendants of historical figures, while entitled to their opinions, are just as influenced by the culture of their time as anyone else. Then I added what I considered the most glaring problem with his argument: the United States isn’t a democracy — we’re a constitutional republic.

I suggested that, in many ways, democracy can be a lousy form of government. After all, it allows 51% of the people to impose their will on the other 49%, forcing them to live under rules they didn’t choose and might not benefit from. In my quick tutorial on democracy versus the American system, I didn’t even get into the brilliance of the framers’ creation of the Electoral College — a safeguard that gives individual states real power and influence.

To my surprise, Jeffrey actually agreed with me on that point. But then he pivoted, arguing that Trump was just doing whatever he wanted — like sending back all the “asylum-seekers” who crossed the border during Joe Biden’s presidency.

I asked him how he knew all 15 million migrants (give or take) were asylum-seekers. Who vetted them? And I reminded him that Trump had nearly been blocked from deporting even the worst of the worst — violent criminals — by an unelected judge from ... well, somewhere.

Then I said, “It’s hard to imagine the words ‘Christian’ and ‘Democrat’ even appearing in the same sentence these days.”

That didn’t go over well.

I listed just a few of the issues Democrats continue to support. I left out the wide-open borders — which my friend seemed fine with, even after I brought up the rise in sex trafficking, fentanyl deaths, and inner-city crime — and focused on other examples. I mentioned sex-change procedures for children, drag queen story hours in public libraries, and men competing in women’s sports.

That’s when Jeffrey cut me off.

“Of course I don’t agree with those things,” he said.

And then came the words every far-left friend says when he's on the brink of losing an argument to inconvenient facts: “Let’s just agree to disagree.”

End of discussion.

Since Jeffrey is a friend, I let the conversation fizzle out. We exchanged a few more pleasantries and then said our goodbyes.

But not long after I hung up, I realized how disingenuous “agree to disagree” can be in a discussion or debate. That phrase shuts down dialogue. It signals that neither side will reconsider his position and, worse, that neither side is allowed to keep making his case or challenging the other’s facts.

What struck me even more was how casually Jeffrey used the phrase — not just with me, but seemingly with his own party. It was as if he could personally find things like child gender surgeries or men in women’s locker rooms repugnant — especially as a Christian — but still wave it all off because Democrats “stand up for the little guy.”

To avoid making waves, many Christians stepped onto the slippery slope of so-called “political correctness” years ago. The idea was simple: Being on the “right side” of politics meant standing up for marginalized people. And what Christian wouldn’t want to be seen doing that? After all, didn’t the Bible and the saints speak out for the disadvantaged?

But over time, political correctness evolved. Or rather, it escalated. “PC” gave way to “woke,” and suddenly we were all expected to embrace a new worldview — one in which anyone with a shred of sanity and compassion would naturally join the swelling ranks of the awakened. Christians, of course, were included in that expectation — if they knew what was good for them and wanted to belong to the era’s grand new “Awokening.”

So what’s next?

With people in general justifying the absolute obvious craziness of the far left by being silent and looking the other way, we can announce a brand-new term: “political immaturity.”

When you ignore common sense to do whatever you are told is “correct” and “woke,” you have not matured into rationally thinking for yourself. You might start with a wish to "go along to get along," and now you are being led around and told what to think and do like somebody's child.

The only hope for America over these next few critical years is a true Great Awakening to the truth within the church that can lead to a foundational restoration within this great country.

Optimistically speaking, if we take this route, future generations might look back and say with joy: “Wouldn’t you know it? It was bound to happen!”

Female, 24, accused of fatally stabbing on-duty US postal worker; pair seemingly argued over who ordered first in Harlem deli



A 24-year-old female is accused of fatally stabbing an on-duty United States postal worker in a Harlem deli on Thursday afternoon, WABC-TV reported. New York City police said the pair seemingly argued over who ordered first before the dispute turned physical.

Jaia Cruz of Harlem was charged with second-degree murder, police told WPIX-TV.

'She's a nice young lady. She is not the type that just come out in the street and attacking people.'

Ray Hodges, 36, of the Bronx, was working his postal route when he went to get lunch at Joe’s Grocery at 168 Lenox Ave. around 2:30 p.m., police told WPIX.

As he was waiting to pay, an argument ensued over who was next in line, police told WPIX, adding that Cruz is accused of stabbing Hodges seven times.

WABC said police found Hodges stabbed or slashed multiple times — including in the torso, arms, back, and neck — inside the establishment.

Hodges was taken to a hospital where he was pronounced dead, WABC said, adding that a weapon has been recovered.

Investigators told WPIX a witness identified the suspect near the scene of the crime.

The New York Post, citing sources, said "the knife-wielding suspect went crazy and gutted the victim in the stomach after he stepped in front of her in line, leaving his blood smeared all over the floors and glass door."

The U.S. Postal Inspection Service told WPIX in a separate story that Hodges was a letter carrier and was on duty. WPIX said his postal cart was seen outside the deli.

A friend of the person of interest told WABC that it's not in her friend's character to attack another person without a reason and that she wouldn't have hurt someone unless provoked.

"She's a nice young lady," the friend told WABC. "She is not the type that just come out in the street and attacking people. This is just a bad neighborhood. What had happened, I have no idea because I was not around yet. I don't know. But I do know if she said it was in self defense, it was in self defense."

Postal worker Kathy Singleton told WABC that Hodges "was a nice young man."

Subway rider fights back after 'much bigger' passenger slaps him in face, sends his glasses flying



Alexander Rakitin told the New York Post he's been commuting from Brooklyn to Manhattan on the subway for almost three decades — but in the last couple of years he's noticed the danger factor increase.

“I think everyone who takes the subway feels scared and nervous,” Rakitin, a father who works in finance, told the Post. “There’s a degree of nervousness all the time. Scanning my surroundings, seeing irate, angry people. People just not following the rules, antisocial behavior, criminal behavior, and aggression.”

'Everybody that gets on the subway in the morning knows they're going down into a dangerous place. That's just the reality we live in.'

Rakitin experienced all of that dialed up several notches earlier this week in a dangerous encounter captured on cellphone video.

Just after 8:30 a.m. Monday, Rakitin was aboard the N train when another passenger became upset, WABC-TV reported.

The Post noted that Rakitin, 42, accidentally nudged the knee of 34-year-old Timothy Barbee.

"He's being aggressive that apparently I sat too close to him, even though I wasn't in an adjacent seat," Rakitin told the station. "It's just he felt that's his personal space, and he was being very aggressive. I told him to just chill out. Like, just chill. It's 8:30 in the morning. Just going to work. Nobody needs this. Just chill out. And he just escalated."

Video shows the pair jawing at each other with apparent expletives when Barbee tells Rakitin to "make me chill" and repeatedly orders him to "shut the f*** up." Rakitin tells Barbee that "you started it," and the pair stare each other down.

With that, Barbee tells Rakitin, “I ain’t got time to go to jail today" and to "stop staring at me" — and then slaps Rakitin in the face, causing Rakitin's glasses to fly off his head.

Rakitin told WABC that while he's had previous encounters on the subway, this was the first time it escalated into physical violence.

But Rakitin said he fought back.

"I got on top of him, and I just grabbed ahold of him," he told the station. "And I was thinking, like, 'Just don't let go because he's much bigger than me.' I don't know what's on his mind, so I was just holding him until the cops came."

Rakitin added to WABC that Barbee started calling out for help. What's more, Rakitin told the Post that Barbee — and other passengers — actually began telling Ratikin to let Barbee go.

“The only way I can explain it to myself is that the people that saw it start, how it started, they just ran away," Rakitin told the paper. "Most people just ran away into a different train car. And then the people that didn’t see it start only paid attention when I wrestled him to the ground.”

The Post said Barbee was arrested after the train pulled into the next stop; he was charged with third-degree assault. WABC said Rakitin wasn't seriously hurt.

Barbee declined to comment on the incident after his Tuesday arraignment, the Post reported.

"Everybody that gets on the subway in the morning knows they're going down into a dangerous place," Rakitin told WABC. "That's just the reality we live in."

You can view WABC's video report here about the incident. The Post's video shows the argument, the slap — and then Barbee being led off the train in handcuffs.

Popeyes employee stabs customer in self-defense after dispute over food order, police say



A Philadelphia Popeyes employee stabbed a customer in self-defense after an argument over a food order turned physical late Tuesday night, police told WPVI-TV.

Police told the station the incident took place just before midnight in the 6000 block of North Broad Street; officials noted to WPVI there were roughly eight employees in the store at the time.

Police said the employee so far isn't being charged.

"The 28-year-old customer had some sort of dispute with employees over a food order and began attacking and assaulting one of the employees," Chief Inspector Scott Small of the Philadelphia Police Department told the station. "Other employees intervened and tried to push this 28-year-old out — back out from the front door. That's when the 34-year-old employee getting assaulted and attacked pulled a knife and stabbed the 28-year-old."

WPVI reported that the male was stabbed multiple times in the torso and head.

The male ran away after the stabbing, but police told the station they followed a blood trail to a nearby house where they found him. WPVI said the customer was taken to a hospital where he's in stable condition and in police custody

The Popeyes employee remained on scene and was cooperating with detectives, the station said, adding that police said the employee so far isn't being charged.

Police added to WPVI that the entire incident was recorded on surveillance video.

How are observers reacting?

Commenters underneath WPVI's video posted to YouTube appeared incredulous — and sometimes sarcastic — over the incident:

  • "Not only is fast food bad for you, these days it can be fatal," one commenter wrote.
  • "Over fried chicken," another commenter noted. "Let that sink in."
  • "If I got the honey mustard sauce instead of the spicy buffalo like I ordered, I'd be pissed off, too," another commenter quipped.
  • "I understand you got to defend yourself, but this is just crazy," another commenter stated. "Arguing over a food dispute."
  • "U can’t make this s**t up," another commenter declared.

Motorist allegedly tries to run over trio standing on home's lawn after argument. Driver's downfall? One victim has a gun.



A motorist in Columbus, Ohio, earlier this month allegedly tried to run over three people who were standing on a home's lawn after an argument.

But one of driver's alleged targets was carrying a gun — and the victim's aim was true.

'Let this be a lesson. Don't bring a car to a gunfight.'

Police said 32-year-old Alexander Oglesby after an argument "used his vehicle as a weapon, driving it off the roadway in an attempt to strike the three victims" in the 1800 block of Noe Bixby Road around 2 a.m. Oct. 5.

Police added that "tire tracks at the scene show that Mr. Oglesby drove at the victims, who were approximately 40 yards away in the grass in front of their residence. One of the victims fired shots at Mr. Oglesby in self-defense and struck Mr. Oglesby. He was taken to an area hospital and treated for the injury."

Police said Oglesby was charged with three counts of felonious assault and taken to the Franklin County Jail. According to jail records, Oglesby on Tuesday was still incarcerated.

Police also said those with information about the incident are asked to contact Columbus Police Felony Assault Det. Reffitt #222 at 614-645-4323 or Central Ohio Crime Stoppers at 614-461-TIPS (8477) — and that callers may remain anonymous.

How are observers reacting?

A handful of commenters underneath WCMH-TV's Facebook post about the incident completely backed up the person who pulled the trigger:

  • "Yeaaa, right, guns are the problem," one commenter noted sarcastically.
  • "Let this be a lesson," another user warned with tongue planted firmly in cheek. "Don't bring a car to a gunfight."
  • "The gun grabbers hate stories like this," another commenter declared.

In bizarre debate moment, off-track Biden challenges Trump to golf game 'if you can carry your own bag — think you can do it?'



Amid a debate question Thursday night asking President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump what they would say to voters concerned about their ages — Biden is 81 while Trump is 78 — Trump responded by saying that he "aced" two cognitive tests and noted that Biden took no cognitive tests.

Shifting to his physical abilities, Trump said, "We knock on wood wherever we may have wood that I'm in very good health." He added, "I just won two club [non-senior golf] championships ... to do that you have to be quite smart, and you have to be able to hit the ball a long way." Speaking of Biden, Trump said "he can't hit a ball 50 yards."

Then Trump shot back a zinger: 'That's the biggest lie — that he is a six handicap — of all.'

Biden's response began with him saying something unintelligible about Trump's height and weight, after which Biden said he'd "be happy to have a [golf] driving contest" with Trump — and then claimed "I got my [golf] handicap when I was vice president down to a six."

Trump turned away in mirth, likely because such a handicap is considered excellent.

Then things got comical, as Biden turned to Trump in schoolyard fashion and threw down hard: "And by the way, I told you before I'm happy to play golf with you if you carry your own bag."

Pregnant pause. Tension was hanging in the air. Biden then challenged Trump with a long, cold stare: "Think you can do it?"

Less insane than a push-up contest, at least.

Then Trump shot back a zinger: "That's the biggest lie — that he is a six handicap — of all."

Biden was well off track by this point, perhaps forgetting what handicap number he just blurted out seconds before: "I was an eight handicap," which invited a smirk from Trump, who quietly retorted, "Yeah. Never."

Unfortunately for Biden, the dust-up over golf led to one of his more noticeable verbal freeze ups, as he couldn't get the rest of his words out of his mouth.

Trump stepped in: "I've seen his swing, I know your swing." As Biden seemed lost in space, Trump interjected, "Let's not not act like children, Joe."

Biden's reply? "You are a child." Tsk. Tsk. Tsk.

— (@)

How did observers react?

As you might expect folks reacted quite strongly to the Biden-Trump golf challenge:

  • Fore Play — a Barstool Sports podcast "by the common golfer, for the common golfer" — noted, "We’re talking golf handicaps at the presidential debate, folks. Can’t make it up."
  • Golf pro Bryson DeChambeau told the candidates, "Let’s settle this whole handicap debate, I’ll host the golf match on my YouTube."
  • Comic Bridget Phetasy quipped, "Two old men fighting over golf is the debate we deserve."
  • Kayce Smith of Barstool Sports wrote, "I don’t know about you guys but I’m definitely voting for the candidate who wins the part of the debate where they argue who has a lower golf handicap. WHAT THE F*** ARE WE DOING!?"

Finally, check out the reaction from CBS News' Margaret Brennan:

Wendy's worker punches drive-thru customer through car window — then steals car, hits victim with car, bites 2 cops: Police



Police said a St. Louis-area Wendy's employee physically attacked a drive-thru customer after an argument earlier this week, KPLR-TV reported — but that ain't the half of what the suspect is accused of.

In short, the worker allegedly punched the customer through his driver-side window, stole the victim's car, returned to the scene and hit the victim with the car, and bit two cops.

Then there was the whole hammer thing.

What are the details?

Police in Overland — which is about 20 minutes northwest of St. Louis — headed to the restaurant in the 8900 block of Page Avenue after a report of a fight in progress Monday, KPLR-TV reported.

The victim told officers that he got into an argument with the employee while in the drive-thru lane, the station said.

The victim said the employee — later identified as 27-year-old Leon S. Johnson — exited the restaurant and began punching him through his open car window, KMOV-TV reported.

The victim told police he grabbed a hammer from his car and began swinging it at Johnson to get him to back off, KPLR said, adding that the victim soon exited his car with the hammer — but then Johnson got in the victim’s car and drove off.

KSDK-TV reported, citing court documents, that Johnson soon returned to the restaurant and hit the customer with the car, knocking the hammer out of the customer's hand. Johnson then got out of the car, picked up the hammer, and began to hit the car's front windshield, KSDK added. The KPLR report indicates Johnson hit the victim with the hammer.

The customer suffered a "laceration on his lip and multiple contusions to his face," police told KSDK, which added that officers said Johnson admitted to taking the victim’s car and hitting him with it. Police also said Johnson bit two officers who tried to arrest him, KSDK added. Jail records indicate the arrest took place just after 9 p.m.

It's unclear what the victim and Johnson were arguing about, KSDK added.

The St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office charged Johnson with first-degree assault, first-degree tampering with a motor vehicle, third-degree assault, second-degree property damage, resisting arrest for a felony, and two counts of fourth-degree assault, KSDK said, adding that all the charges are felonies.

Johnson was jailed on a $500,000 cash-only bond, KSDK noted. He remained in jail as of Friday morning.
