Nazi-obsessed teenage girl who called herself the ’embodiment of hell’ is jailed for 15 years for axe attack on stranger

A Nazi-obsessed teenage girl who called herself the ’embodiment of hell’ and launched an axe attack on a stranger outside a barber’s shop has been jailed for more than 15 years. 

Alina Burns, then 18, attempted to repeatedly strike Mohammed Mahmoodi, a 27-year-old Iranian Kurd, with the weapon on August 2, 2025 in Bedminster, Bristol. 

CCTV from inside the barber shop BHK captured Burns as she swung an axe at Mr Mahmoodi’s neck from behind while he chatted with a friend. When he realised what was happening, Mr Mahmoodi then turned and ducked – closely missing the blade. 

Burns, who had a shaved head and wore a black padded jacket, went to strike her victim again but was stopped after Mr Mahmoodi grabbed her hand, pulling the axe from it. 

Police arrested Burns at the scene – who left Mr Mahmoodi with three scratches on his neck and cheek – and found she was also carrying a scalpel and a number of darts. 

Bristol Crown Court heard Burns shared her violent ‘plan’ with a man she met on a dating site, who alerted the police about his concerns months before the August attack. This included a wish to ‘kill all’ British Jews and Muslims.

Burns, who was in contact with far-right group Patriotic Alternative, wrote in an email to the man she met on dating site Duolicious: ‘I’ve realised my role in existence: I am the embodiment of hell, destined to annihilate everything holy I bear witness to.’

The teenager referred to carrying out a ‘plan’ and said she wanted ‘all the credit and glory’, adding it was her ‘purpose/meaning in life’. 

In a second email on March 20 last year, Burns wrote: ‘I don’t want to end my life anymore. I plan on bringing change to the UK through means I can’t detail.’ 

After the man said he would do anything for her, the court heard she replied: ‘Yeah, I shared too much for that. Kill all the Jews and Muslim in Britain please.’

When he responded it would not solve anything, Burns said: ‘Nah it’ll solve heaps. I’m dead serious, do it. I think being the catalyst for change in my nation is far more important. I need to be a force of something, have agency in the outcome of history.’

Detectives discovered Burns exchanged a series of messages with the group Patriotic Alternative and looked up their ‘plan for the United Kingdom’.

Patriotic Alternative was founded in 2019 by Mark Collett, a Neo-Nazi who calls for a ‘racially pure white society’ and led the British National Party’s youth wing before the party expelled him. 

The court was told the group called for an end to immigration and the ‘repatriation’ of non-whites and Jews to their ‘ancestral homelands’.

Seized diaries and notebooks belonging to Burns revealed ‘copious details’ about weapons used by the Nazi SS and German military units in WWII. 

While the court heard Burns on July 30 searched online ‘what age can you buy an axe UK’, ‘is an axe a good weapon for home defence’ and ‘how to properly use an axe for self-defence’.

Racist streamer ‘Chud the Builder’ charged with attempted murder for shooting outside court

Racist streamer “Chud the Builder” has been charged with attempted murder for allegedly shooting someone who confronted him outside a Tennessee courthouse, officials said.

The streamer — real name Dalton Eatherly, 28 — shot an unidentified man during a fight Wednesday outside the courthouse in Clarksville, according to District Attorney Robert J. Nash, who said Chud also accidentally shot himself during the fracas.

Eatherly, who amassed an online following by filming himself spewing vile racial slurs to get reactions, was in court for a civil case over unpaid debts, just days after he was arrested for skipping out on a $400 restaurant bill while refusing to stop streaming.

He livestreamed from the shooting scene, blaming his gunfire on the other man — who was black, according to witnesses — confronting him over his vile online content.

He said the man and others were “laughing” as he walked by — and threatened to hit him if he started spouting his racist ideologies.

“He said, ‘You start saying all that chimp out s–t to me and ‘imma hit you,’ and he hit me, he started whaling on me,” Eatherly, who has multiple videos online referring to black people as chimps, said in the video, CNN reported.

Then Eatherly bizarrely tried to pin blame on “rich people” goading strangers into harming him. “They’re all publicly saying ‘If y’all assault this guy, we’ll make you rich.’ The f–k,” he said.

The victim was medically evacuated by LifeFlight and is recovering in stable condition, officials said. 

Eatherly also suffered what’s been described as a “graze” wound on his arm and Nash said it appears he accidentally shot himself during the fracas. He was detained at the scene.

Fmr Newsom top aide admits guilt in fraud scheme, takes plea deal

Dana Williamson, a former top aide to California Governor Gavin Newsom, pleaded guilty to federal fraud and tax charges as part of a plea deal agreement following accusations that she stole campaign funds from gubernatorial candidate and former Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Xavier Becerra.

Williamson, who served as former chief of staff for the California governor from 2022 to 2024, appeared at the Robert T. Matsui Courthouse in Sacramento, California on Thursday. While there, she entered a guilty plea to charges including conspiracy to commit bank and wire fraud, filing a false tax return, and lying to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), according to Eastern District of California court documents.

“Dana Williamson and her co-conspirators weaponized public trust for personal gain. They stole from a campaign account, fabricated contracts, filed false tax returns, and lied to federal agents … No title and no political connection places anyone above the law,” said FBI Sacramento Special Agent in Charge Sid Patel in a statement.

The former aide was arrested last November on 23 counts tied to what prosecutors described as a scheme to steal $225,000 from one of Becerra’s dormant campaign accounts to fund her personal expenses, including a $150,000 birthday trip to Mexico, tens of thousands of dollars spent on Chanel and Fendi handbags and an HVAC system for her home.

Prosecutors also accused her of conspiring with Becerra’s former chief of staff Sean McCluskie and lobbyist Greg Campbell to move the money from Becerra’s dormant account to pay for McCluskie’s wife’s no-show job after Becerra was elected head of the HHS under former President Joe Biden, according to prosecutors.

Billionaire Democrat Donor Who Bankrolled Swalwell Breaks Silence After Surprise Arrest

Billionaire and Democrat donor Stephen Cloobeck was arrested Tuesday in Los Angeles on suspicion of felony charges of attempting to prevent or dissuade a victim or witness from testifying after a warrant was issued for his arrest. 

Cloobeck, founder of Diamond Resorts – who until recently was a major financial supporter of former Rep. Eric Swalwell’s (D) failed campaign for California governor, was booked into custody in West Hollywood, according to Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department records. He was later released on $300,000 bail.

In a terse statement to the California Post, a press representative for Cloobeck said of the arrest: “These charges are false and we look forward to our day in court.”

Cloobeck cut ties with Swalwell following multiple allegations of sexual assault – but not before the now-former congressman recorded a bizarre apology video from inside his swanky mansion.

Fairfax County Democrat Prosecutor Exposed for Dropping Charges Against Illegal Alien Accused of Kidnapping 4-Year-Old Girl

Fairfax County, Virginia, Commonwealth Attorney Steve Descano (D) dropped charges against an illegal alien accused of kidnapping a four-year-old with the intent to sexually assault her after the prosecutor’s office attempted to offer him a sweetheart plea deal, Rep. Brian Knott (R-NC) revealed on Thursda

During a House Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration Integrity, Security, and Enforcement hearing, Knott noted the case of Hyrum Baquedano Rodriguez, an illegal alien from Honduras, with multiple prior convictions for burglary and contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

In June 2023, Rodriguez was arrested in Fairfax County after allegedly breaking into an apartment and attempting to kidnap a sleeping four-year-old girl.

According to police, Rodriguez broke into the girl’s room while she was asleep. When the toddler’s mother heard her crying, she entered the room and alleges her daughter told her a man grabbed her and then ran away.

After his arrest, police said the illegal alien’s fingerprints were found in the girl’s bedroom.

By May 2025, Descano’s office sought a plea deal with Rodriguez in which a criminal court judge would be barred from sentencing him to more than two years in prison. The judge overseeing the case rejected the deal, suggesting that the sentence was far too lenient.

When the judge rejected the plea deal, Descano’s office dropped the charges against Rodriguez. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents were able to arrest the illegal alien before he reoffended.

“A disgusting, perverted individual preying on children — you dismissed the case,” Knott told Descano. “As the father of two young girls, one of whom is five, that is as shameful as anything I have seen. Quit defending the indefensible … it’s shameful. You’re a coward.”

Dangerous Substance Found in Baby Food Jars Leads to Arrest, Discovery of Extortion Scheme

A 39-year-old man allegedly put rat poison in at least five baby food jars sold across central Europe, leading to his arrest in Austria.

The poisonings resulted in HiPP, the manufacturer of the baby food, recalling jars across Austria, Slovakia, and the Czech Republic, according to a report from the Associated Press.

The Burgenland State Criminal Police Office started investigating after a baby food jar in Eisenstadt, Austria, was determined to contain rat poison on April 18.

Investigators later found that jars of 190-gram carrot-and-potato baby food jars — meant for consumption by 5-month-olds — were the products impacted by the tampering.

They were sold in SPAR food markets in Austria.

HiPP recalled all of its baby food jars sold in SPAR stores, with vendors in Slovakia and the Czech Republic also recalling HiPP products as a precaution.

The Burgenland State Criminal Police Office announced the arrest but declined to provide further details, saying they could jeopardize the investigation, according to a report from USA Today.

The suspect was arrested in Salzburg, a city that borders Germany.

HiPP said that the poisonings may have come as an attempt to extort the company.

An email was sent to HiPP two months ago demanding $2.3 million in the following six days, although the message was not noticed until two weeks after the deadline had already passed.

The email was sent to an address that was not frequently checked.

The National Pesticide Information Center at Oregon State University says that rat poison, which is designed to kill mice and rats, can be lethal to children.

“BE QUIET!” — GOP Rep. Brad Knott Absolutely TORCHES Fairfax Soros-Backed Prosecutor Steve Descano After Child Predator Case Collapses: “You’re a COWARD!”

In a jaw-dropping, viral takedown during Thursday’s House Judiciary Subcommittee hearing on the dangerous consequences of sanctuary policies, North Carolina Republican Rep. Brad Knott absolutely eviscerated far-left Soros-backed Fairfax County Commonwealth’s Attorney Steve Descano for his disgusting decision to let a Honduran illegal alien child predator walk free after yanking a sleeping 4-year-old American girl out of her bed with the clear intent to sexually assault her.

Fox News reported last year:

On June 15, 2023, Fairfax County Police responded to a home in the 7500 block of Little River Turnpike after receiving a call reporting a burglary and an attempted abduction of a child.

When they arrived, the 4-year-old’s mother said she woke up when she heard her daughter crying and saw the window in her room had been opened. The child told her mother someone grabbed her and then ran away.

Investigators say a fingerprint led them to Baquedano-Rodriguez who was arrested the following day.

ICE officials said Baquedano-Rodriguez is a national of Honduras and described him as an “unlawfully present noncitizen.” They say he was first encountered by U.S. Border Patrol in Yuma, Arizona on August 25, 2018.

“I’m traumatized to be quite honest with you. She is 4 years old,” the victim’s mother told FOX 5 in 2023. “It’s not that she’s not comfortable, but you can tell there are signs of trauma that’s left behind from this, and I’m going to have to get her some type of counseling as well as myself.”

Descano, the radical Democrat prosecutor who has been hammered all day by Reps. Jim Jordan and Brandon Gill for his office’s bias favoring illegal alien criminals over U.S. citizens, tried his usual weaselly excuses.

But Knott, a father of two young girls, wasn’t having any of it. He scolded the coward like a child and ordered him to shut up.

8% of defendants in Chicago’s electronic monitoring program unaccounted for

According to the latest data released by the Cook County Chief Judge’s office, approximately 246 of the 3,048 criminal defendants currently enrolled in Chicago’s electronic monitoring program are considered missing or unaccounted for.

These individuals, who were released pretrial on the condition of wearing ankle monitors, have reportedly tampered with their devices, allowed their batteries to die, or otherwise remained out of contact with authorities for at least three hours.

The scale of the issue is particularly concerning given the nature of the charges involved. According to public tracking data, those currently in “AWOL” status include 21 individuals charged with murder, 13 with attempted murder, 103 facing sexual assault charges, and 173 charged with aggravated battery.

Nonetheless, Cook County Chief Judge Charles Beach confirmed to outlet WGN that law enforcement is actively working to locate and apprehend these missing defendants to ensure they are returned to custody.

“It doesn’t mean they’re out committing crimes necessarily,” Beach said. “Some might be. But they’re actively being searched for right now by law enforcement.”

Gunfire Erupts Inside Philippine Senate As Former ‘Drug War’ Enforcer Evades International Arrest Warrant

At least a dozen gunshots rang out inside the Philippine Senate building in Manila earlier on Wednesday as police and marines moved to arrest Senator Ronald “Bato” Dela Rosa on an International Criminal Court warrant for alleged crimes against humanity linked to former President Rodrigo Duterte’s brutal war on drugs, a campaign that left more than 6,000 suspected drug dealers dead in operations.

Reuters reports that it is unclear who fired the burst of shots inside the Senate building, but it occurred as Dela Rosa was taking refuge inside the building amid efforts to arrest the senator on an ICC warrant for alleged crimes against humanity.

Other media outlets captured the chaotic moments when shots rang out in the Senate building’s hallway.

“About 15 shots were fired, and we were forced to pull back,” Al Jazeera reporter Jamela Alindogan said, adding that security forces then ordered the evacuation of the building.

Dela Rosa posted a video on Facebook earlier, anticipating his arrest, and urged citizens to come to the Senate building to block his arrest: “I am appealing to you. I hope you can help me. Do not allow another Filipino to be brought to The Hague.”

On Tuesday, Dela Rosa, a former police chief and top enforcer of former President Rodrigo Duterte’s war on drugs, urged President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. not to allow the ICC to arrest him.

The ICC unsealed its arrest warrant on Monday, accusing Dela Rosa of the same crimes as Duterte, who is awaiting trial in the Netherlands.

Al Jazeera’s Alindogan said that while violent incidents are not unusual in Manila, it was highly unusual for this type of chaotic event to occur in the Senate building, “where there’s supposed to be some sort of civility.”

Watching Porn on California’s Death Row

Under Governor Gavin Newsom, California has sought to transform its massive prison system into a Nordic-style rehabilitation program. Newsom has placed a moratorium on all executions, transferred condemned prisoners to facilities across the state, dismantled San Quentin State Prison’s death row, and turned the notorious prison into a therapeutic center, with art, classrooms, a café, and podcast studios.

As part of this transformation, the Newsom administration approved a $189 million contract to provide new digital tablets—generic, flat-screen devices in a plastic shell—to every inmate in the state prison system, at “no cost” to offenders. The administration heralded the effort to replace inmates’ old tablets—which were piloted in 2018 and given to nearly all prisoners by 2023—as a step toward “digital equity” for “justice impacted” individuals, who could, in theory, use the devices to contact their families, consume “educational” content, and “learn new technology.”

In reality, taxpayer-funded tablets have also been used for more lurid endeavors. In this exclusive City Journal investigation, we contacted dozens of death-row inmates, who told us that prisoners in the state system use such devices to watch pornography and have explicit sexual conversations. Some prisoners, according to a former high-ranking California corrections official, use their tablets to groom minors. Though the state has claimed to regulate explicit content, the inmates told us that users can easily evade detection.

When reached for comment, the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation said the tablets were “tightly controlled education tools” that provided inmates with “access to the Bible, education, and reentry resources that actually reduce crime.”

But inmates told us a different story. For some, the devices have become personal sex machines. In the words of one inmate, California’s death row is populated with desperately “horny” criminals who see the tablets as a way to satisfy their basest fantasies and desires—all thanks to the California taxpayer.
