She may be beaten and bruised but a Florida woman is refusing to let a violent encounter with a homeless man stop her from doing the Lord’s work.
Tara Barnes, 69, was kidnapped by a homeless man who climbed into the backseat of her car and put a knife to her throat. He ordered Barnes to drive to the Ocala National Forest. However, before they reached that destination, the man ordered her to pull over, threw a rope around her neck, dragged her from the car and beat her with a club.
The man kept yelling, “you rich [word deleted] think we need your help?” as he beat the elderly woman.
He then stuck Barnes back in the car and took her to a K-Mart parking lot where he then beat her unconscious.
Barnes was hospitalized for over a day with various injuries. The man who kidnapped the woman is still at large.
“This is God’s work,” Barnes told the New York Daily News about feeding the homeless. “We’re not going to let this one nut stop us.”
She was back the following week cooking meals for the homeless.
NYPD has told reporters that the knockout game is back in the city.
A 34-year-old Brooklyn woman who is six months pregnant was struck in the back of the head while walking down a sidewalk with her sister. The pregnant woman was immediately rendered unconscious and fell to the ground. Fortunately, she was not seriously injured and her child was not hurt.
Willie Stephens, 33, has been arrested for the attack.
Police say that Jannatul Ferdous’ sister immediately called 911 after the attack and gave such a strong description that Stephens was quickly found three blocks away. Police say it’s strange that Stephens would make such an attack because he had no criminal record.
Stephens reportedly did not know his victim.
A group of pro-terrorist protesters began chanting slogans such as “We are Hamas!” as they marched through Miami.
The demonstration, sponsored by groups like the Council on American-Islamic Relations Florida and the Islamic Circle of North America, was supposed to be a “stop the bombing” march.
The event started on topic with chants of “no more killing; no more war” but changed into Islamic chants of “Allahu Akbar” and “we are jihad!”
The crowd assaulted a Jewish photographer who was sent to cover the event when his Jewish faith was discovered. Several protesters threated to kill the photographer because he was “a Jew.” They used multiple Jewish slurs as they harassed the man until he left the area.
A local reporter covering the event said she found it chilling to see hate-filled Jihadists controlling streets in Miami and threatening someone because they were Jewish.
A Canadian family of six who was pro-Israel and showing support for Israel in downtown Calgary was attacked by a group of 100 pro-terrorist protesters and beaten.
The crowd chanted a variety of anti-Semitic slogans including “Kill Jews” as they circled the family and would not let them escape. A 22-year-old woman and a 52-year-old woman who was recovering from surgery were the most severely beaten by the mob.
Samantha Hamilton, the 22-year-old victim, told the Free Beacon that the protesters who told her that “Hitler should have finished you off.”
“I heard my mother screaming because six or seven guys had jumped on my brother,” who is 19 years old, Hamilton recalled. “He had a Star of David on his shirt and they were ripping it off, biting him, and scratching him, and stomping on him on the ground.”
Her brother suffered a concussion from the assault.
Calgary police arrived and the attack was stopped but none of the pro-terrorist attackers were arrested for their actions.
Three New Mexico teenagers are in custody after they reportedly beat two homeless men to death and then went to one of the teen’s homes to hang out. Alex Rios, 18, and two boys aged 16 and 15 are being held on $5 million bail.
A third homeless man who survived the beating and was able to crawl to a nearby home for help identified the boys. He told police that one of the boys lived near the location of the attack.
Police found the boys hanging out at the home described by the victim. One of the boys hadn’t even bothered to clean the blood from the victims off his clothing.
Investigators say the two dead men were beaten so badly they’re having trouble making any kind of identification. An Arizona driver’s license was found at the site but there was no way to use it to make a facial comparison.
The criminal complaint says the 15-year-old was “very angry” over a breakup with a girlfriend so they went looking for someone to beat and rob.
“I personally, after reading that complaint, was sick to my stomach because of the nature of the violence and the age of the offenders,” police spokesman Simon Drobik said.
A pastor who was charged with murder after defending himself when a man attacked him in Las Vegas, Nevada called it an “answer to prayer” when the state dropped all charges.
However, the news was tempered with a need to continue to praying because a grand jury is being convened to hear the evidence and decide if the charges should be reinstated against Robert Cox.
Pastor Cox, his wife and 20 interns stopped at the Four Kegs Sports Pub in June 2013 during a Las Vegas trip to get dinner. As the group chatted in the parking lot before leaving, 55-year-old Link Ellingson approached the group and assaulted several of the members. Cox stepped in to stop him. At some point, Ellingson lost balance and fell hitting his head.
Cox’s attorney says he’s not concerned with the grand jury.
Frank Cofer told the Las Vegas Review-Journal he believes that even if the grand jury indicts the pastor he will eventually be acquitted.
Pastor Cox says the whole episode made him rely more on the Lord.
“The whole time I’ve had to trust God,” he told the Journal.
In an interview with British newspaper The Guardian, persecuted Christian Meriam Ibrahim says her newborn daughter is physically handicapped because she was forced to give birth with her legs shackled to a wall.
Ibrahim, who is currently seeking refuge inside the U.S. Embassy in Khartoum, gave her first interview after being released from her incarceration on charges of apostasy and adultery.
Ibrahim said that she was shackled with chains, not cuffs, and that her legs were forced together by the chains. The guards would not release the chains so that she could open her legs for the birth and her daughter’s legs were injured during the birth.
“I couldn’t open my legs so the women had to lift me off the table,” Ibrahim told the Guardian. “I wasn’t lying on the table.”
Ibrahim said it wasn’t clear yet if the child will need help walking as she grows older because of the injuries.
Sudan is forcing Ibrahim to stay in the country claiming she forged her papers to leave. Ibrahim told the Guardian that she has a document from South Sudan because that is where her husband is from and that is proper under international law. The family has visas to enter the United States when she is able to leave the country.
Palestinians threw rocks and Molotov cocktails at Israeli police and military after the body of a Palestinian teen was found in the Jerusalem forest.
The rioting teens blocked Jerusalem’s light rail service and were driven back when Israeli defense forces responded to their assaults by firing rubber bullets at rock throwers.
Israeli investigators say they were called with a report of an Arab teen that was forced into a car and that a partially burned body was found in the woods a few hours later but say there is no evidence connecting the incidents, if a teen was actually forced into a car.
The investigators also say there is no evidence the dead teen was killed by Israelis and assert that it could be an attempt by Palestinian terror groups to deflect attention from the kidnapping and brutal murder of three Israeli teenagers by the terrorist group Hamas.
Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said that authorities used tear gas on some of the protesters and that security in the area has been heightened. Police have also closed holy sites in the Old City to visitors because of rock throwing Palestinian youths.
Egyptian officials confirm a group of Islamic extremists attacked the businesses of Christians today in the town of Luxor.
Many of the shops owned by Coptic Christians were burned to the ground.
Authorities investigating the attack said that Islamists marched into the shops in the village of el-Mahmeed and threw gasoline bombs into shop windows. Police say that they have not made any arrested and currently have no persons of interest because of a lack of witnesses coming forward to identify who threw the bombs.
The Islamists are launching attacks ahead of the blasphemy trial of a young Coptic Christian who Islamists claim posted disparaging remarks about Islam on the internet. The trial had been scheduled to begin today.
The young Christian, Kerolos Ghattas, is facing the death penalty if convicted.
“He responded in an extremely emotional manner.”
That was one of the excuses given by a spokesman for the Oakland Unified School District after a school resource officer was arrested on felony charges for dumping a wheelchair bound student onto the floor after punching him several times.
A wheelchair bound student, Francisco Martinez, was lingering with some other students in a hallway late for their classes. Two officers were seen in a security camera video telling the students they needed to move on to their classrooms. The students refused, so one of the officers, Marchell Mitchell, grabbed the handles of Martinez’ wheelchair and started to push him down the hallway.
Martinez objected and started slapping the officer’s hands in an attempt to get him to stop pushing the wheelchair.
The officer then handcuffed Martinez, struck him several times and then dumped the student onto the floor. The school immediately fired Mitchell and had him arrested by Oakland police.
“We as a district apologize to the family of the victim,” said Oakland Unified School District spokesman Troy Flint.
