Pittsburgh synagogue gunman has been sentenced to die in the nation’s deadliest antisemitic attack

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:34:02 GMT

PITTSBURGH (AP) — The man who killed 11 congregants at a Pittsburgh synagogue was formally sentenced to death Thursday, one day after a jury determined that capital punishment was appropriate for the perpetrator of the deadliest attack on Jews in U.S. history.U.S. District Judge Robert Colville imposed the sentence on Robert Bowers, a 50-year-old truck driver whose vicious antisemitism led him to shoot his way into a place of worship and target people for practicing their faith.“I have nothing specific that I care to say to Mr. Bowers,” Colville said, before issuing the formal sentence. “I am however convinced there is nothing I could say to him that might be meaningful.”Bowers ranted about Jews online before carrying out the attack at Tree of Life synagogue on Oct. 27, 2018, and told police at the scene that “all these Jews must die.” He has since expressed pride in the killings.Jurors were unanimous in finding that Bowers’ attack was motivated by his hatred of Jews, and that he ch...

AURORA, Colo. (KDVR) -- Christopher Mosley asked an Arapahoe County jury to award him $1, and that's exactly what it did.

DENVER (KDVR) -- The Denver metro area housing market is cooling with the weather, having dodged the record prices seen last spring.The Denver Metro Association of Realtors released its August report on Thursday, covering the real estate trends in the 11-county Denver metro area as of July.

Danish PM: Banning burning of the Quran would not reduce freedom of expression

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:34:02 GMT

Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen spoke out for the first time on the burning of the Quran in her country, saying that a potential ban on setting fire to the religious text would not limit freedom of expression. “I don’t consider it a restriction on freedom of expression that you can’t burn other people’s books,” Frederiksen said in an interview published Thursday. “It is not a slippery slope,” she added, referring to a debate triggered after the Danish government announced a potential ban on Quran burnings on Sunday.Last week, far-right protesters organized anti-Islam demonstrations and burned copies of the Quran in front of the Egyptian and Turkish embassies in Copenhagen. On Sunday, Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen condemned these acts and said the small number of people responsible did not represent Danish society or values.“There is a concrete security risk. And then there is a risk that we will become isolated on the i...

How Julian Edelman is helping Patriots QB Mac Jones in ‘interesting’ way

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:34:02 GMT

FOXBORO — Julian Edelman has the itch.Retirement has treated the Patriots legend well since he hung up his cleats two years ago, but as he returned to the back fields at Gillette Stadium as a special guest at Thursday’s training camp practice, there was something about it that got his juices flowing.“Of course you get the itch. I’m a football player,” Edelman said. “You love football. Especially when you get to see a group of guys that are coming together and working hard. It’s not too hot today and the practice wasn’t too long, it’s a little different from when I was playing. But it’s still football, so you definitely miss it.”Edelman has and will continue to avoid scratching that itch, but as he continues his post-playing media career, he still loves the Patriots. He’s doing his best to help them from afar.That includes giving Patriots quarterback Mac Jones some helpful advice – and in a unique method.“Jules has been awesome. I always text him. He sends voice memos, it’s kind of i...

Jon Mawn Jr. and Boston Police Commissioner Michael Cox states.“In light of the ongoing and escalating threat to neighboring residents and families, especially in nearby parks and areas for youth summer camp activities, we are requesting that warrant enforcement be conducted in area C-6, specifically targeting those individuals with a history of violence, drug and human trafficking,” the letter continues.The letter is signed by U.S. Rep.

Column: In defense of background TV

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:34:02 GMT

Nina Metz | (TNS) Chicago TribuneNearly half of the top 10 streaming shows in late June were “library” shows. Meaning, shows that originated somewhere else (usually traditional TV) and are now licensed by a streaming platform. The popular shows in June were “Suits,” “S.W.A.T.,” “Grey’s Anatomy” and “NCIS.”Looking at that list, journalist-turned-screenwriter Oriana Schwindt made an observation: “People love watching shows with lots of episodes. Shows with strong episodic structure. Make more shows like this.”She’s not wrong.I’m always baffled by the snobbery toward background TV. Streamers prefer to call it “second-screen content,” aka the kind of shows you pick when you’re tired or distracted by your phone — or your kids, or that sink full of dishes you’re washing, or pile of laundry you’re folding.The original run of “Law & Order” is high-quality background TV. It’s formulaic, but that’s a feature, not a bug. The writing is just spirited and smart and novel enough to provide va...
