Shooting At July 4 Parade In Highland Park, US. 6 Dead

 



At least six people died and 24 were wounded in a shooting at a July Fourth parade in the Chicago suburb of Highland Park, and officers are searching for a suspect who likely fired on the festivities from a rooftop, police said Monday.


Highland Park Police Commander Chris O’Neill, the incident commander on scene, urged people to shelter in place as authorities search for the suspect, described as a white male wearing a white or blue T-shirt.


Lake County Major Crime Task Force spokesman Christopher Covelli said at a news conference that the gunman apparently opened fire on parade-goers from a rooftop using a rifle that was recovered at the scene. He didn’t know which building.


Covelli said police believe there was only one shooter and warned that he should still be considered armed and dangerous.


Police have not released any details about the victims or wounded.


The parade began around 10 a.m. but it was suddenly halted about 10 minutes later after shots were fired. Hundreds of parade-goers — some visibly bloodied — fled the parade route, leaving behind chairs, baby strollers, plush toys, bicycles and blankets.

MICROCHIMERISM: Why Virginity Is Important

 The sperm is more than just a fluid, it is a container of genetic information. Meaning when a man ejaculates in a woman, he leaves behind DNA that is stored inside the woman and shared if she gets pregnant. If she aborts, more information is stored Scientists call this phenomena MICROCHIMERISM, there have being done on this phenomena and the results have been mind blowing For example, the more a woman has sex with a particular man, the woman's DNA changes to mimic that of the man to a certain extent. This probably explains why, when a couple has been together for a long time, they end up looking alike Another example, when a woman has DNA traces of many men inside her, she starts to change in her behavior and mannerisms as well, because her cells are changing. This probably explains why prostitutes tend to have all kinds of traits, it's due to having slept with many men Another example, isn't it weird that one child in a particular family can be just totally different from...

Man Used Internet Registry to Track down and Beat up Pedophiles

In February 2018, Jason Vukovich, a 43-year-old man, received a prison sentence of 23 years for a series of assault and robbery offenses. Interestingly, some individuals consider Vukovich a vigilante hero, as all of his victims were identified as pedophiles. Vukovich had previously referred to himself as an "avenging angel seeking justice," but he has since expressed remorse for his actions. After serving six years of his sentence, he will be eligible to apply for parole. During his trial, it was disclosed that Vukovich had been a victim of abuse himself, having been sexually and physically mistreated by his stepfather during his childhood. He has since admitted that his vengeful actions were not justified, and he now assumes "full responsibility for his actions." As per the charges, Vukovich located three separate men via his state's online sex offender registry. Over five days in June 2016, he carried out a violent spree, during which he reportedly knocked one...
