Missouri Middle School Idiot Teacher Tells Student They Can't Read The Bible During Free Time


(The ACLU is gonna jump in and defend this kid like they defend "atheist" kids, right?...)

A 12-year-old Missouri middle-schooler was told by his teacher that reading the Bible during free time is prohibited.

Loyal Grandstaff's father said his son's freedoms of religion and speech were both violated. He is reaching out to the school for answers, according to WDAF-TV.

The boy told the news station:

I like to read my Bible because it's a good book. I was just reading, just reading because I had free time. A time to do what I wanted to, so I just broke it out and read.

Loyal said he wanted to read the Bible during free time because he feels encouraged by it. He stated that he wasn't reading aloud or sharing the book with any other classmates when his teacher approached and told him to put it away.

Graffiti threatening to kill police was found in Queens Monday, sources said .

It comes amid a rash of violence against members of the NYPD.

Two officers were shot responding to a robbery Monday night and, on Dec. 20, Detectives Wenjian Liu and Rafael Ramos were killed while sitting in their patrol car in Brooklyn.

The department has also fielded dozens of threats against police in recent weeks and made several arrests.

The graffiti that reads "PSA-9 'n' 107 Pct R Next to Die" was spotted in the basement of a building at the Pomonok Houses on Parsons Boulevard, near 65th Avenue, sources said.

1 of 3 Paris terror attack suspects surrenders to police, 2 others at large

Published January 08, 2015
·FoxNews.com



One of three men sought in connection with the deadly terror attack on the Paris offices of a satirical magazine turned himself into police early Thursday as French authorities scoured the country for the other two perpetrators of the shooting that killed 12 people at the offices of Charlie Hebdo magazine, including eight of the publication's staffers.

Agnes Thibault-Lecuivre, a spokeswoman for the Paris prosecutor's office, said that 18-year-old Mourad Hamyd surrendered at a police station in Charleville-Mezieres, a small town in France's eastern Champagne region.

Earlier Thursday, French police released images of the two other suspects, named as Cherif Kouachi and Said Kouachi, both in their early 30s. They remain at large, and authorities say they should be considered armed and dangerous. Thibault-Lecuivre did not offer details on Hamyd's relationship with the other two men, but said he turned himself in because he heard his name on the news in connection with the attack.

Overnight, heavily armed police moved into the nearby city of Reims, searching for the suspects without success, Thibault-Lecuivre said. Video from BFM-TV showed police dressed in white apparently taking samples inside an apartment. It was not immediately clear who lived there.

One police official told the Associated Press that the suspects were linked to a Yemeni terrorist network, and Cedric Le Bechec, a witness who encountered the escaping gunmen, quoted the attackers as saying: "You can tell the media that it's Al Qaeda in Yemen."

The masked, black-clad men with assault rifles stormed the offices near Paris' Bastille monument in the Wednesday noontime attack on the publication, which had long drawn condemnation and threats -- it was firebombed in 2011 -- for its depictions of Islam, although it also satirized other religions and political figures.

Shouting "Allahu akbar!" as they fired, the men used fluent, unaccented French as they called out the names of specific employees.

Artist Corinne Rey told the French newspaper L'Humanite that she punched in the security code to the Charlie Hebdo offices after she and her young daughter were "brutally threatened" by the gunmen.

In addition to the eight journalists, two police officers, a maintenance worker and a visitor were killed, said prosecutor Francois Molins. He said 11 people were wounded -- four of them seriously.

Among the dead was the paper's editor, Stephane Charbonnier.

The staff was in an editorial meeting and the gunmen headed straight for  Charbonnier -- widely known by his pen name Charb -- killing him and his police bodyguard first, said Christophe Crepin, a police union spokesman.

Rey said the assault "lasted five minutes. I hid under a desk."

Two gunmen strolled out to a black car waiting below, one of them calmly shooting a wounded police officer in the head as he writhed on the ground, according to video and a man who watched in fear from his home across the street.

The witness, who refused to allow his name to be used because he feared for his safety, said the attackers were so methodical he first thought they were members of France's elite anti-terrorism forces. Then they fired on the officer.

"They knew exactly what they had to do and exactly where to shoot. While one kept watch and checked that the traffic was good for them, the other one delivered the final coup de grace," he said.

"Hey! We avenged the Prophet Muhammad! We killed Charlie Hebdo," one of the men shouted in French, according to video shot from a nearby building.

The other dead were identified as cartoonists Georges Wolinski and Berbard Verlhac, better known as Tignous, and Jean Cabut, known as "Cabu." Also killed was Bernard Maris, an economist who was a contributor to the newspaper and was heard regularly on French radio.

Le Bechec, the witness who encountered the gunmen in another part of Paris, described on his Facebook page seeing two men "get out of a bullet-ridden car with a rocket-launcher in hand, eject an old guy from his car and calmly say hi to the public, saying `you can tell the media that it's al-Qaida in Yemen."'

Charlie Hebdo has been repeatedly threatened for its caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad and other sketches. One cartoon, released in this week's issue and titled "Still No Attacks in France," had a caricature of a jihadi fighter saying "Just wait -- we have until the end of January to present our New Year's wishes." Charb was the artist.

Cherif Kouachi was sentenced to 18 months in prison after being convicted of terrorism charges in 2008 for helping funnel fighters to Iraq's insurgency. He said he was outraged at the torture of Iraqi inmates at the U.S. prison at Abu Ghraib near Baghdad. During his 2008 trial, he told the court, "I really believed in the idea" of fighting the U.S.-led coalition in Iraq.

Both Al Qaeda and the Islamic State group have repeatedly threatened to attack France, which is conducting airstrikes against extremists in Iraq and fighting Islamic militants in Africa.

In the winter 2014 edition of the Al Qaeda magazine Inspire, a so-called chief describing where to use a new bomb said: "Of course the first priority and the main focus should be on America, then the United Kingdom, then France and so on."

In 2013, the magazine specifically threatened Charb and included an article titled "France the Imbecile Invader."

France raised its security alert to the highest level and reinforced protective measures at houses of worship, stores, media offices and transportation. Schools closed across Paris, although thousands of people later jammed Republique Square near the site of the shooting to honor the victims, waving pens and papers reading "Je suis Charlie" -- "I am Charlie." Similar rallies were held in London's Trafalgar Square as well as Madrid, Barcelona, Berlin and Brussels.

"This is the darkest day of the history of the French press," said Christophe DeLoire of Reporters Without Borders.

In a somber address to the nation Wednesday night, French President Francois Hollande pledged to hunt down the killers, and pleaded with his compatriots to come together in a time of insecurity and suspicion.

"Let us unite, and we will win," he said. "Vive la France!"

New York Times Joins Their Gutless MSM Colleagues In Refusing
To Publish Charlie Hebdo Mohammed Cartoons


("I'm shocked!" ....  Said no one.  Just another in a long string of Progressive media FAIL!

"The goal of The New York Times is to cover the news as impartially as possible — "without fear or favor," in the words of Adolph Ochs, our patriarch — and to treat readers, news sources, advertisers and others fairly and openly, and to be seen to be doing so."

Pathetic: Fox News "Has No Plans" To Show Charlie Hebdo Magazine Cover


(They aired it as the news was just breaking, apparently someone at Fox decided this was a mistake and could offend Muslims delicate sensibilities...  And what's the point of this?  Any amount of pandering to Muslims isn't going to EVER, EVER score Fox News points with Muslims or the Left.  This is about the Fox staff fearing for their lives and caving into Muslim terrorism.)

Via WaPo:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/erik-wemple/wp/2015/01/07/fox-news-has-no-plans-to-air-charlie-hebdo-cartoons/

In its breaking news coverage of the Paris killings at Charlie Hebdo magazine, "Fox & Friends," the morning show of Fox News, showed a shot of one of the magazine's controversial cartoons. Yet the network, according to a spokeswoman, has "no plans" to show further examples. Fox News's decision falls in line with those of other cable news outlets. As reported earlier here and here, CNN has cropped out the provocative drawings from its coverage of the killings. And in an extensive rundown of the news media's approach to the matter, Rosie Gray and Ellie Hall of BuzzFeed note this policy at the NBC family: "Our NBC News Group Standards team has sent guidance to NBC News, MSNBC, and CNBC not to show headlines or cartoons that could be viewed as insensitive or offensive."

(So when is the Washington Post going to start showing the cartoons, huh!...)

Eyewitness Account: French Police Retreated From Gunmen Because They Were Unarmed


(Yeah, can't blame them... I'd be peddling faster than Lance Armstrong getting away from those terrorists if I wasn't armed...)

Via Daily Caller:
http://dailycaller.com/2015/01/07/unarmed-paris-police-retreated-from-terrorist-gunmen-video/

Several Paris police officers who came into contact with the armed terrorists who slaughtered 10 journalists at the headquarters of Charlie Hebdo, a satirical magazine, retreated from the gunmen because they were unarmed, according to an eyewitness.

"Three policemen had arrived on bikes but had to leave because the men were armed, obviously," Benoit Bringer, who works on the same floor as Charlie Hebdo's offices, told France Info radio, according to The Guardian. "Then the attackers took off in a car."

CBS News also reported — citing a reporter with Britain's Telegraph newspaper — that the two officers were apparently unarmed.

Paris police officers have the option of carrying firearms, though many choose not to.
