So, under Texas law, a man could rape a woman, and then turn her in for a $10,000 reward if she tries to have an abortion?

I have to say, while this is pretty low, it also made me giggle:

French woman arrested over jewellery thefts from coffins


When a grieving family saw an unknown mourner at the funeral home in northern France where their relative was lying at rest, they thought nothing of it.

The woman, in her sixties, said she was a friend of the deceased, so they left her to pay her respects at the open coffin - or so they thought.

But when they came back later, the deceased had been stripped of her jewellery: her necklace, ring and earrings had all vanished, French media report.

The family raised the alarm with the police, who investigated and soon identified a suspect: a woman living not far from the funeral home, in the town of Liévin. They detained her and found the missing jewellery in her possession.

But that was not all. They were soon able to link her with the theft of a wallet from the body of a man at the same funeral home, earlier on the same day, Tuesday 24 August.

When the suspect's home was searched, police also found a stack of recent death notices. Included in the notices were the access codes for family members to enter the individual rooms where the coffins of their relatives were reposing.

The woman will appear in court in 2022.

He probably did it for freedom, but no surprise, that article is full of propaganda:

The U.S. "Constitution is designed to ensure that we work out our fundamental and different views peacefully, not at the point of a gun, not with some other blunt force threat or a kidnapping conspiracy," the judge said.

Crazy activist judges!

So, was this guy an angry black man in whiteface, or ANTIFA, or both?
We know right wing Americans are all patriots who never resort to violence. (I've read it here, so it must be true.)

In other news, the President of Afghanistan has left the country and the Taliban are moving into Kabul. Taliban soldiers have been seen on the streets of abul.

That was an incredibly fast takeover of Afghanistan.

From your own link:

>>Dr. Stephen Nelson, chairman of Florida's medical examiners commission, who is not affiliated with the case, reviewed the new files and says that doesn't mean the drugs or health condition is what caused Floyd's death. "We've all had cases where those kinds of of levels come into play. You've got to look at the whole picture," Nelson said. "It's one thing to die *with* something. It's another thing to die *from* something."

>>The FBI asked the Armed Forces Medical Examiner to review Baker's autopsy and they agreed with his findings, writing "his death was caused by the police subdual and restraint with cardiovascular disease and drug intoxication contributing."
