Virginia Teacher Abby Zwerner Testifies She Warned Assistant Principal Multiple Times Before 6-Year-Old Shot Her in Classroom: ‘He Was in a Violent Mood’

Former Virginia first-grade teacher Abby Zwerner took the stand Monday in the ongoing criminal trial of former Richneck Elementary School assistant principal Ebony Parker, delivering a harrowing firsthand account of how she was shot by a 6-year-old student.

Zwerner described the student’s escalating violent behavior and the repeated warnings she gave school administrators, which she says were ignored before the boy pulled a 9mm handgun from his jacket and shot her in the hand and chest in her classroom in 2023.

Zwerner, who has undergone multiple surgeries and still has bullet fragments in her body, described a student she referred to only as “J.T.” who displayed clear signs of aggression in the days leading up to the shooting at the Newport News school.

Three days before the incident, Zwerner testified that the boy became defiant and slammed her cellphone onto the ground after she instructed him to do something.

On the morning of the shooting itself, she immediately noticed something was wrong.

“The student appeared to be off and appeared to be in a violent mood,” the former teacher told the jury, according to a report from the New York Post.

Zwerner said she went directly to assistant principal Ebony Parker to voice her concerns.

Pirro Responds to Violent Brawl at DC Chipotle

US Attorney for DC Jeanine Pirro on Monday responded to the violent brawl at a Chipotle in DC.

All hell broke loose at the DC Navy Yard Chipotle restaurant this weekend after a group of ‘youths’ got into a violent brawl.

A group of terrified patrons, including children, was pushed to the corner of the restaurant as the teen thugs threw chairs at each other.

It is unclear what caused the brawl.

Last week, US Attorney for DC Jeanine Pirro announced her office will be charging parents of ‘youths’ who violate curfew amid a disturbing trend of ‘teen takeovers.

Mobs of teens are rampaging through the streets of DC and other cities across the country, terrifying residents and causing major damage.

Pirro says she’s going after the parents.

On Monday, Pirro held a press conference and responded to the violent Chipotle brawl.

“It was a takeover of a restaurant by individuals who felt they could get away with it. Well, they’re not going to get away with it,” Pirro warned.

“The message that lawlessness runs the streets is over,” Pirro said.

“The city belongs to law-abiding residents, not roaming mobs looking to make a name for themselves, contribute to the chaos and violence, or gain social media attention,” she said.

“These are not kids being kids,” Pirro added.

Georgia Acid Attack Victim Lashes Out at Savannah Mayor and Police For Withholding Video Evidence, Suggesting She Personally Knew Suspect

Last December, a Georgia woman sustained severe burns to her face, neck, and scalp after a stranger emerged from the bushes at a Forsyth park and doused her in acid.

According to law enforcement, a black male approached the victim, Ashley Wasielewski, while she was walking around Forsyth Park and hurled acid at her.

The suspect, who is still at large, approached the victim from behind and poured the liquid chemical on her.

Wasielewski suffered third-degree burns and received treatment at Memorial Hospital in Augusta.

According to police, the attacker was not known to the victim.

“I walk around this park a lot, even at night,” Wasielewski told WJCL. “You just don’t expect something like this to happen here.”

Woke Judge Admits “Taking A Chance” On Violent Criminal… Who Then Went On Shooting Spree

A Massachusetts judge openly confessed in court that she knew she was rolling the dice by giving a light sentence to a career criminal with a 20-year rap sheet packed with violence, guns, and assault convictions.

She did it anyway. Now Tyler Brown is back in custody after opening fire with 50 to 60 rounds on a busy Cambridge roadway, critically injuring two innocent drivers.

The shocking audio, released this week, comes straight from Brown’s 2020 sentencing hearing after he fired 13 rounds at Boston police officers. Prosecutors had pushed for 10 to 12 years behind bars. The judge gave him just five. He walked out on parole in March 2025.

In the newly surfaced clip shared on X, the judge tells Brown directly:

“I do realize I’m kind of taking a chance on you — when people stand up, police, experienced police officers, experienced probation officers, and they tell me this guy is a danger to the community.”

She went on to acknowledge she could not predict the future but was still willing to release him, saying she hoped her “intuitions” would prove correct and that Brown would not “endanger other peoples’ lives as you have in the past.”

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’.

The Assault on a French Nun and the Forgotten Story of Palestinian Christians

The video is horrifying, though it is the kind of horror now synonymous with the behavior of Israel, its military, its armed settlers, and society that has been conditioned to see the ‘other’ as subhuman.

Yet, this was not the typical viral video that emerges almost daily from occupied Palestine. The victim, this time, was not a Palestinian. She was an elderly French nun.

On May 1, footage surfaced from Jerusalem showing a 36-year-old Israeli man running behind a French nun – a researcher at the French School of Biblical and Archaeological Research – and shoving her violently to the ground.

In a chilling display of cruelty, the assailant did not simply hit and run. He walked away a few paces, then returned to the fallen woman to kick her repeatedly and mercilessly as she lay helpless.

What was most astonishing was the sense of normalcy that followed. The assailant remained on the scene, conversing with another man who appeared entirely unperturbed by what should have been a devastating event in any other context.

The video briefly imposed itself on the mainstream media scene, garnering perfunctory condemnations. Many explained the event as part of the larger landscape of Israeli violence, highlighting the ongoing genocide in Gaza as the most obvious example of this unchecked aggression.

But even the context of general violence does not fully explain why a French nun was targeted. She is not dark-skinned, she is European, she is Christian, and she holds no historical or territorial claims that would typically trigger the ‘security’ paranoia of the Zionist state.

Still, the incident was anything but ‘isolated,’ despite the rush by Israeli officials to label it a ‘shameful’ exception. To the contrary, the nun was attacked specifically because she is Christian.

This raises the question: why?

To answer this, we must acknowledge how Palestinian Christians have been systematically written out of the history of their own land.

Palestinian Christians are not merely present in the land; they are among the most historically rooted communities in Palestine. They are anything but ‘foreigners’ or ‘bystanders’ caught in a supposed religious conflict between Jews and Muslims.

In fact, the Christian Arab presence in Palestine predates the Islamic era by centuries. They are the descendants of historic tribes who shaped the region’s identity long before the advent of modern political labels.

The marginalization of Palestinian Christians is a relatively new phenomenon, deeply linked to Western colonialism. For centuries, European powers used the pretense of ‘protecting’ Christian communities to justify their own imperial interventions.

Detransitioner Chloe Cole cancels UW speech after alleged Antifa threats

Detransitioner Chloe Cole announced Tuesday she is canceling a scheduled University of Washington speech after citing alleged threats from Antifa.

“Antifa has assembled a local militia, in their own words, to shut down this event,” Cole said in a Tuesday video announcement. 

“Their actions, their explicit threats on my life, have raised this event to national attention, a level of attention our security team and our PD are frankly unprepared for,” she added. 

Cole, a detransitioner who went through the process of transitioning from female to male between the ages of 12 and 16, was set to speak Wednesday at the University of Washington in Kane 210 as part of TPUSA’s “Pick Up the Mic” initiative.

At the age of 15, Cole underwent hormones and a double mastectomy.

In a post on Instagram, UW Divest News, a pro-Palestinian group, urged students to protest the Turning Point USA chapter event with Cole, calling her a “transphobic right-wing grifter.”

The post instructed protesters to “bring flags, drums, or anything to make some noise! Email UW admin to cancel the event and ban Turning Point USA from campus! WE WILL NOT TOLERATE HATE GROUPS ON CAMPUS! WE LOVE OUR TRANS SIBLINGS! 🏳️‍⚧️ FREE PALESTINE! 🇵🇸”

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.”

GOP Senator Name-Checks Top Dems Over Party’s Violence Problem – Not a ‘Both Sides’ Issue

Political violence has become a major factor within left-wing politics, according to Republican Sen. Tommy Tuberville of Alabama.

“Political violence has become a core pillar of what the Democratic Party stands for,” Tuberville wrote in an opinion piece from Breitbart.

“Since Donald Trump came on the scene more than ten years ago, Democrats have lost their minds. An uncomfortably large number of Democrats now think it is okay to murder someone you disagree with politically,” he said, noting that glee over murder erupted “last year when leftists were celebrating the murder of Charlie Kirk.”

“And we’ve seen it again and again on display every time a sick assassin gets close to taking out President Trump,” he continued.

Tuberville cited several recent examples: “Former Vice President Kamala Harris called Trump a ‘fascist.’ Former President Joe Biden repeatedly referred to Trump as a ‘threat to democracy.’ Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez called Trump a ‘rapist.’ Rep. Jasmine Crockett has referred to Trump as a ‘wannabe Hitler.’”

Breezing through the descent to such rhetoric that marked President Donald Trump’s first term and the lawfare that marked the Biden era’s attempt to weaponize the Department of Justice, Tuberville took on the argument that political violence is endemic to both sides in modern America.

“The inconvenient truth for Democrats is that political violence is not a problem on both sides of the aisle. I’m not saying no Republicans have ever committed atrocious acts of violence against Democrats — but it is far more common on the left,” he wrote.

He noted that attempted assassin Cole Tomas Allen “doesn’t appear to have been radicalized by some overseas cult.”

“Perhaps more disturbingly, he was indoctrinated by mainstream Democrat politicians, CNN, and MSNBC.”

“We need to stop sugarcoating this and start calling it what it is. Until Democrats start policing the kind of speech cavalierly thrown around about President Trump and Republicans, this violence will continue,” he wrote.

“In the wake of Charlie Kirk’s murder in September, you heard Democrats on TV briefly talking about ‘unity.’ But here’s the thing – you can’t have unity with people who want you dead,” Tuberville continued.

“There will be no unity and no peace until Democrat leaders like Barack Obama, Kamala Harris, and Gavin Newsom tell their party to stop referring to the President of the United States as ‘Hitler,’ ‘fascist,’ ‘rapist,’ ‘pedophile,’ and ‘a threat to democracy.’”

“This type of false rhetoric is incredibly dangerous and radicalizes people to the point of violence. It needs to stop now,” Tuberville added.

Tuberville is not the only Republican to call out Democratic rhetoric leading to left-wing violence.

Brooklyn Turns Into War Zone as Over 180 Bullets Fly in Shocking Gang Shootouts Caught on Camera

Brooklyn has once again become a symbol of what happens when law and order take a back seat to political correctness and soft-on-crime experiments, as reported by the New York Post.

In a horrifying display of urban warfare, rival street gangs exchanged more than 180 rounds in broad daylight across several neighborhoods, leaving blood on the pavement and fear in the hearts of residents.

The footage shown by prosecutors looked more like scenes from a war documentary than the supposed “safest big city in America.”

Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez and NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch revealed disturbing videos of these brazen shootouts while announcing the arrests of 15 suspected gang members.
