Knife-wielding student slashes 4 at University of Texas, kills 1


















AUSTIN — A student with a hunting knife slashed one person to death and injured three others Monday at the University of Texas, causing a brief stir of terror on campus before the man was arrested by police.
The suspect was identified by police as Kendrex J. White, 21. A motive for the attack is unknown.
Student Rachel Prichett said she was standing in line at a food truck outside a gym when she saw a man with a knife resembling a machete approach the person standing behind her.
“The guy was standing next to me,” Prichett said. “He grabbed him by the shoulder and shoved the knife in it. I just started running as fast as I could.”
Police said they believe the victims in the 1:46 p.m. attack are all around ages 20 or 21. There is no ongoing threat to the campus community, the university said.

As tensions mount over Syria and North Korea, World War III again a U.S. fear

Image
Ever since the second one ended in explosions bright as the sun, we have feared the start of the third. World War III would be the real war to end all wars, and maybe the human race. Einstein said he didn’t know with what weapons it would be fought, but that World War IV would be settled with sticks and stones. Now, America is butting heads in Syria with Russia, the other great nuclear power. We are watching the range of North Korean nuclear missiles stretch inexorably toward Seattle. And people again are thinking about the unthinkable: an attack of which there is no warning, for which there is no defense, and from which there is no escape. At 92, Annamarie Choo has lived through it all — Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the Berlin Wall, the Cuban Missile Crisis. Now, she says, “In the top of my mind, I think about war. I don’t know how to say this, other than Russia and America, there are communication problems, a big gap. They don’t really understand each other.’’ She lives ...

Starbucks barista loses it over unicorn frappuccino mania

Image
Starbucks hopped on the unicorn-food theme earlier this week with its limited-edition Unicorn Frappuccino, and not everyone is happy about it. On Wednesday, a man who said he is Starbucks barista, posted a video on Twitter where he begged the masses to stop ordering the drink.   Braden Burson  said the drink, which "tastes like a Sweet Tart," is ruining the lives of Starbucks baristas everywhere. "I need to rant just a little bit," Burson said in the video before launching into a full-on tirade against the pink and blue swirled treat.

My frist post

More bad news from Nice: we learn  from the BBC  that local Muslims have been getting the cold shoulder from their kuffar  neighbours. “People who yesterday would embrace me warmly are now cold towards me,” says one. And all because of the unfortunate and terribly unfair coincidence that the man who mowed down over 100 people in a truck just happened to be called Mohamed, of Tunisian descent, and allegedly yelling “Allahu Akbar” as he went about his murderous spree. “The worst affected by these attacks are us, the Muslims. We have seen an increase in abuse and threats,” complains local man Ahmed Mohamed. Another – Abdul Moniem – has some sage things to say about not pointing the finger of blame. “You have to distinguish between different types of crime. Are these crimes that relate to terrorism? Or are these individual criminal acts? In this case what happened was a terrible crime and shouldn’t be treated as terrorism. The criminal who carried out th...
