Serial Killer Drew Pictures of His Victims, FBI Needs Help Identifying Them
201
The FBI has released 16 portraits of confessed serial killer Samuel Little’s alleged victims, all of which were hand-drawn by Little from memory. On Tuesday, the FBI released the portraits of 16 unidentified women made by serial killer Samuel Little while in prison in hopes that “someone – a family member, a former neighbor, a friend – might recognize the [victims] and provide the crucial clue in helping authorities make an identification.” Little, 78, stunned investigators last year when he began confessing to almost 100 killings, carried out over the span of about 35...

In Illinois, posting anything on social media related to gun ownership may soon cost you your weapon, as a new bill would require potential gun buyers to reveal their public social media accounts to state police before being approved for firearm licenses.

Daniel Didech (D-Buffalo Grove), who is proposing gun buyer...

263
NEW YORK – February 5, 2019 Do you think it could only apply to Europe? Even today, you can see how a small Muslim community is gradually being introduced into the US security system. The self-funded group sees itself as a district watch. And despite a wave of resentment and anxiety, patrol cars have already been spotted in Brooklyn for no reason. One of the patrol members Maeen Ali openly said he's consumed only by thoughts of his four children's safety. This explains a lot when Muslims unite to protect their children and the community as a whole. This makes a big dif...

Another black person has suffered from white employees stupidity. Jermaine Massey, 34, was unfortunate enough to call his mom to find out if she was alright – by doing that, he immediately became “a threat to other people’s safety” and had to choose between staying at the hotel to be later thrown to jail or being kicked out of the hotel and having to find a new one around midnight… The man seems to be holding in his tears while telling the story of having been “racially profiled.” Christmas holidays are possibly the best time for white people to call the police on black p...
