An 18 year-old white supremacist accused of murdering 10 people at a Buffalo supermarket stood silen

An 18 year-old white supremacist accused of murdering 10 people at a Buffalo supermarket stood silently in court Thursday after being indicted by a grand jury on a single count of first-degree murder.

Payton Gendron, who also faces federal terror charges, appeared in court wearing a white mask and bright orange jail scrubs, remained silent throughout the proceeding despite being heckled by a victim’s distraught family member who yelled out, ‘Payton, you’re a coward!’

The first-degree murder indictment, which covers all 10 deaths, was handed up Wednesday, Assistant district attorney Gary Hackbush announced in court.

In New York, prosecutors can charge a defendant with first-degree murder only under special circumstances, including when multiple people are killed in a single incident, like in the Buffalo shooting that claimed the lives of 10 people on Saturday. The single count against Gendron covers all 10 deaths at Tops Friendly Market.

No domestic terror charges have been filed in federal court at this time. Gendron will be back in court on June 9 at 9:30 a.m. He is being held without bail.

The courtroom remained quiet until the end as Gendron, cuffed and shackled was escorted out by a heavy security detail, only the sounds of his chains clinking, when one of the victims’ family members yelled out angrily at him from the courtroom gallery.

Thirteen people were struck by gunfire at the supermarket on Saturday, most of them black, and 10 of the victims died, before the gunman surrendered to police confronting him inside the store.

Shortly before the attack, Gendron posted hundreds of pages of writings to online discussion groups where he detailed his plans for the assault and his racist motivations.

Erie County District Attorney John Flynn released a full statement Thursday:

'The felony hearing scheduled to occur this morning before Buffalo City Court Judge Craig D. Hannah has been adjourned pursuant to New York State Criminal Procedure Law Article 180.80 due to action of the Grand Jury.

Bill Cosby’s latest sex assault civil trial will begin Wednesday following a Los Angeles woman

Bill Cosby’s latest sex assault civil trial will begin Wednesday following a Los Angeles woman’s 2014 lawsuit claiming the disgraced comedian molested her when she was a teenager in the 1970s.

Judy Huth, 64, sued Cosby, 84, alleging that the former actor brought her to the Playboy Mansion and forced her to perform a sex act around 1975, when she was 16.

She is seeking unspecified damages for sexual battery and emotional distress.

In her lawsuit, Huth said she and a friend met Cosby at a film set at a park. She said Cosby invited the girls to meet him the following week, when he made Huth drink beer and molested her on a bed at the Los Angeles mansion.

The former actor will not attend the Santa Monica trial. Cosby’s attorney, Jennifer Bonjean, said, ‘We are confident that the evidence will discredit Plaintiff´s 50-year-old allegation.’

Another lawyer for Cosby confirmed he would not be present on Wednesday. His representatives say glaucoma has left him blind and made travel too difficult.

Gloria Allred, who represents Huth and has also handled several Jeffrey Epstein’s victims, said her client will not comment on the case.

His family-friendly reputation was shattered after more than 50 women accused him of multiple sexual assaults over nearly five decades.

Cosby’s attorneys, who say no sexual abuse happened, are likely to emphasize that the burden of proving the nearly 50-year-old case lies entirely with the plaintiffs. They have acknowledged that Cosby took Huth to the Playboy Mansion, as a photo from the visit shows, but say they believe she was not a minor when it happened.

The trial is one of the last cases Cosby faces after a Pennsylvania appeals court threw out his criminal sexual assault conviction and freed him from prison 11 months ago. Several other lawsuits alleging sexual misconduct were settled by his insurer against his will.

Cosby will not testify after the judge ruled that he could assert his Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination. And he has no plans to leave his Pennsylvania home to attend the trial. #Dailymail

A #Texas deputy has been relieved of her duties after she was allegedly found using her boyfriend&rs

A #Texas deputy has been relieved of her duties after she was allegedly found using her boyfriend’s taser on her three children aged 8, 11, and 12.

Former #HarrisCounty Precinct 4 Deputy Constable Xochitl Ortiz, 34, appeared in court on May 20 to face three counts of causing injury to children younger than 15.

Each count carries a possible sentence of 10 years in prison, under Texas law.

Ortiz was a two-year veteran of the force. Her boyfriend, former deputy Christopher Worthington, has also been fired the department. He joined in October 2020.

The alleged abuse occurred at Ortiz’s apartment in town of Tomball between April 1 and 4 this year.

During that time, Ortiz is accused of ‘drive stunning’ her children with an 'electric self-defense device.’ She is believed to have used her fellow deputy boyfriend’s department issued Taser.

According to Police1, a 'drive-stun’ is 'generally considered to be a pain-compliance technique that is a lesser quantum of force than deploying the probes.’

Prosecutors say that the children told their father, who is divorcing their mom, about the alleged abuse.

They said they were tasered in the bottom, hand and shoulder.

Ortiz’s children reported the alleged abuse to their father, and that they “do not feel safe” in her home, a probable cause finding prosecutors filed in Harris County District Court states, adding that the boys “made consistent statements of abuse” by their mom to state child protection workers. Ortiz and the children’s dad are currently going through a divorce.

The hearing officer during the court appearance told Ortiz: 'The facts allege that you used a Taser to tase each of your children: one on the hand, one on the buttocks, one on the shoulder. The facts allege the complaining witnesses complained of shock and pain and don’t feel safe in your home,’ reports KTRK.

Ortiz was remanded in custody. At the time of writing, Ortiz is not longer listed as an inmate on the Harris County jail meaning that she has posted bond.

Her bail had been set at $450,000, it was later lowered to $150,000. #Dailymail

Happy 200th birthday to the Manchester Guardian.

The Guardian newspaper has just turned 200 years old. The paper reports the classifieds which saved young lives at the time of the Third Reich.

Juxtapose this with the stance from another British newspaper, the Daily Mail:

If it’s woke/SJW/snowflake to appreciate the Guardian, in an era of increasing populism and ethno-nationalism, then I’m happy to be woke.
