Stop Putting Thugs out on Streets

A Minnesota homecoming celebration shattered by gunfire has become the latest flashpoint over crime and bail after the accused shooter was released from jail just two days after his arrest.

Adam Abdihakeem Adam, 18, posted bond and was released Saturday evening, according to Hennepin County jail records reviewed by Fox News Digital.

Police say he shot two teenagers outside Eden Prairie High School during its Oct. 2 homecoming football game, prompting the evacuation of the stadium.

His release drew criticism from President Donald Trump’s Rapid Response 47 account, which highlighted police statements linking the shooting to rival Somali gangs.

“A Radical Left judge immediately granted him a no-condition bail,” the account wrote on X.

Jail records list a $100,000 bail or bond option without conditions and show Adam was released at 7:04 p.m. Oct. 10. He faces two felony counts of second-degree assault with a dangerous weapon and one count of second-degree riot while armed with a dangerous weapon. His next court appearance is scheduled for Monday afternoon.

The shooting injured an 18-year-old and a 17-year-old and launched a multi-agency hunt for those involved, according to Eden Prairie police.

Investigators allege the violence began after two cars entered a parking lot and a fight involving about 10 people broke out. The driver of one car got out, opened fire on the victims and fled, according to charging documents cited by affiliate FOX 9 Minneapolis.

Authorities identified that driver as Adam, who allegedly was driving his brother’s car. Investigators tracked his phone with the vehicle before, during and after the shooting, the outlet reported. He then allegedly abandoned the phone and changed his number.

RCC Wrong Again

In 2018, Francis revised the Catholic Church’s official position on capital punishment, declaring the death penalty “inadmissible” in all circumstances.

“Consequently the church teaches, in the light of the Gospel, that the death penalty is inadmissible because it is an attack on the inviolability and dignity of the person,” the revised Catechism states.

Before the change, Catholic teaching permitted the death penalty in cases where it was deemed the only effective means of protecting human life from a dangerous offender. -FN

Gospel then dP

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) — A suspect has been charged with murder after an ambush shooting in West Philadelphia early Saturday morning left one police officer dead and another seriously injured.

Officer Shane Seiber, 40, a 10-year veteran of the force, died at the hospital after being shot three times.

Commissioner Kevin Bethel said Seiber’s wife and other family members were able to be by his side before he passed.

Seiber leaves behind a 7-year-old son and a 3-year-old daughter, Bethel said.

“This will be a period of mourning for us, but we will stand tall as a department and get through this together,” Bethel said.

The other officer who was shot was wounded 12 times. That officer, a 33-year-old with five children, is currently hospitalized in stable condition.

“He’s not out of the woods yet, but he is stable,” Bethel said.

District Attorney Larry Krasner identified the suspect on Saturday afternoon as 35-year-old Eric Lewis.

Lewis is also being charged with attempted murder and other offenses for allegedly shooting the officer who was injured.

In addition, Krasner said Lewis is being charged with attempted murder for shooting at nine other officers who were not struck.

Court records show Lewis had prior arrests for gun, drugs, and assault charges between 2013 and 2020.

District Council 33 confirms Lewis was union member employed by the Philadelphia Water Department.

President Greg Boulware called what happened “heartbreaking,” “deeply troubling,” and said, “District Council 33 will continue to cooperate fully with the appropriate authorities as this matter proceeds.”

There is no coherent Christian argument that the death penalty is immoral. God prescribes it for a whole host of crimes in the Old Testament. So if your position is that it is fundamentally evil to execute someone, then you must be saying either that the Old Testament is not the word of God, or that God was morally confused, or that the inherent morality of the action has changed, rendering vast swaths of Scripture irrelevant. None of those positions are compatible with Christianity.

I understand that some Christians try to get around this by claiming that the death penalty was “necessary” a long time ago but isn’t necessary anymore. I’m afraid this argument doesn’t remotely work. The death penalty is very explicitly prescribed as a matter of JUSTICE in the Bible, not out of “necessity.” So, again, either the Bible is just flatly wrong, or God was flatly wrong, or the inherent essence of morality and justice has changed. Basic Christian theology does not leave any of those options open to you.-Walsh

Pat’s

Love the steak!

Enough with the influencers.

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) — The owner of Pat’s King of Steaks in South Philadelphia is calling for accountability after a customer threw a cheesesteak at the restaurant’s longtime general manager in an incident captured on video.

According to the restaurant, the incident occurred around 5 p.m. outside the iconic cheesesteak shop.

Video recorded from multiple angles shows a customer throwing a cheesesteak at general manager Tom Francano before running away.

Francano, who said he has worked at the restaurant for nearly 50 years, described the encounter.

“My first reaction was, ‘He hit me in the face.’ He stood at the window and then he took off running down the street,” Francano said. “He hit me right in the side of the face, went all over the place, glass, everything.”

Francano said the individual arrived with a camera and tripod, leading him to believe the person might be an influencer. After ordering a cheesesteak with whiz and onions, the customer returned a few minutes later and complained about the sandwich, Francano said.

“He turns around, he says to me, ‘It’s garbage.’ I said — there was another couple eating outside — I said, ‘Guys how was your steaks tonight?’ They said, ‘Our steaks were great, they were good,'” Francano said.

Immediately after, Francano said the meat started flying, and the customer fled.

Pat’s owner, Frank Olivieri, said he believes the incident may have been motivated by a desire for online attention, though it remains unclear whether the individual is a well-known influencer or someone seeking views and clicks through online content.

“Why would you throw a cheesesteak in someone’s face? That’s assault,” Olivieri said.

Olivieri said police were called after the incident and that he wants the person responsible to be held accountable.

“I’m thinking about offering a $500, no maybe a $5000 cash reward, for the arrest and prosecution and imprisonment of this person for assault and battery on my manager,” Olivieri said.

Police have been contacted regarding the nature of any investigation or possible charges.-6ABC

Repent and Fry

Are you kidding?

She confessed.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. —

A federal court has halted the execution of a Tennessee woman for a 1995 murder she committed at age 18 just as the execution was set to take place. It would have been the state’s first execution of a woman in 200 years. 

Christa Gail Pike, now 50, was scheduled to be executed at 10 a.m. Wednesday by lethal injection at Riverbend Maximum Security Institution in Nashville. Pike and her boyfriend were convicted of stabbing and beating 19-year-old Colleen Slemmer, their classmate at a job training facility in Knoxville.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit issued an order Wednesday morning staying Pike’s execution “until further order of this court.” Pike’s attorneys confirmed the stay in an emailed statement.

“The court has stayed this recognizing the serious concerns about Christa’s scheduled execution,” Stephen Ferrell of the Federal Defenders Services of Eastern Tennessee said.

The case garnered widespread attention at the time in part because a pentagram that was carved on Slemmer’s body and other elements of the crime stoked fears of Satan worship during the “satanic panic” of the 1980s and 1990s. As the execution date drew near, it renewed debate over the death penalty for young offenders.

Pike does not deny committing the killing, but her supporters argue the state should consider Pike’s age at the time, mental illness and a history of severe sexual abuse that included being raped from the time she was a toddler. Assistant Federal Defender Stephen Ferrell said Pike’s death sentence is an outlier because other 18-year-olds sentenced to death in Tennessee have had their sentences vacated.-ap
