@AFpost The jurors were disturbed by this man strangling a water bottle, but they were ok with the strangling of the 3 children

[AF Post @AFpost]

The lone Black juror on the Lindsay Clancy trial who refused to acquit her used an exercise band and an empty water bottle to visually reenact the way Clancy strangled her three children. The incident was said to have disturbed the other 11 jurors.

He was also said to have ignored the other jurors and scrolled on his phone while they attempted to speak with him or dissuade him from his decision. A male juror who voted to acquit Clancy, Nick Dargie, complained to ABC that “there wasn’t a single piece of evidence or witness testimony that he used to prove why he was thinking the way he was.”

Due to the lone Black juror’s heroic refusal to bow to pressure from the other 11 jurors, Clancy remains in state custody, likely awaiting another trial by prosecutors.

Periodistas despedidos del histórico The Washington Post por Jeff Bezos, han creado un nuevo periódico para luchar contra la desinformación y los bulos de la era Trump.

La era donde las élites millonarias quieren controlar el mundo. No hay que rendirse.

25 years ago, the Sept. 11th tragedy left us forever changed. Today, we pause to remember the Americans who lost their lives — as well as the survivors and the heroes of that day.

We will never forget: https://t.co/uf7bSE315E

In December 2001, just three months after the September 11 attacks, Elton John appeared on “Live by Request,” an A&E special where viewers called in live to request songs. Among the callers, a woman shared that her husband had been one of the first responders to die at the World Trade Center, and that “Rocket Man” was his favorite song.

Elton, visibly moved by the request, sat down at the piano and began playing that 1972 classic that everyone had heard a thousand times before. But that night, in that context, the lyrics about loneliness and distance took on a completely different weight.

Sweating and with his voice breaking on every note, he managed to completely silence the audience for the four minutes the song lasted.

Remembering Betty Ann Ong.

She grew up in San Francisco’s Chinatown, the youngest of four, the kid who used to watch planes take off at SFO and later made flying her life.

Friends called her Bee.

She collected Beanie Babies, visited seniors in Boston on her days off, and picked up extra trips so she could afford a vacation with her sister.

On September 11, 2001, that extra trip put her on American Airlines Flight 11.

She was not supposed to be on that plane.

From the rear galley she picked up an Airfone and became the first person to tell the ground what was happening: the cockpit would not answer, people had been stabbed, the cabin was filling with something that made it hard to breathe.

“I think we’re getting hijacked,” she said.

Then she stayed on the line for 23 minutes.

She gave seat numbers.

She answered questions.

Near the end she asked them to pray.

That call was the first confirmed warning that the country was under attack.

It helped controllers begin clearing the sky.

The 9/11 Commission later called her a hero.

A recreation center in her old neighborhood now carries her name.

She was 45.

She was doing her job until the last second.

Today is a good day to say her name.

In 1982, Titanic survivor Ruth Becker was giving an interview in which she stated that the ship had broken in two. The treasurer of the Titanic Historical Society actually took the microphone away from her and said she had been mistaken. Three years later, they found the wreck broken in two…
