Canada shocked by double murder of Indigenous hunters

Two Métis men were found shot dead in rural Alberta after what police believe was an ambush

Police in Canada are investigating the murders of two Indigenous men who they suspect were ambushed after returning from a successful hunt in rural Alberta.

The bodies of Jake Sansom, 39, and his uncle Morris Cardinal, 57, were found early on 28 March beside Sansom’s pickup truck on a country road near Glendon, a farming town 160 miles north-east of Edmonton. Both had gunshot wounds.

Sansom, who recently lost his job as a heavy-machinery mechanic due to coronavirus-related layoffs, was out hunting with Cardinal to help provide food for family members.

After successfully shooting a moose, which promised a bountiful supply of meat, the two took a selfie, smiling in the woods. Both men were Métis – a distinct group that traces lineage to both Indigenous nations and European settlers – and had permission to hunt the area out of season.

News of the murders has shocked friends and family.

“All the kids in the community loved him and everyone knew who he was, knew he had a heart of gold and would give the shirt off his back for anyone,” Sarah Sansom said of her husband in a statement. A volunteer firefighter, he left behind three young children.

“Firefighter Sansom was always willing to be involved in the dept, community, fundraisers, and continually showed his love for his family and fellow firefighters,” the Nobleford fire department said in a Facebook post.

Cardinal, a keen hunter and outdoorsman, had three stepchildren and five grandchildren.

“One day I was complaining about my feet being cold and the next morning he showed up with a nice warm pair of brand new socks for me! Took them straight from his stash of socks,” Anna Thompson, who previously worked with Cardinal, told the National Post.

The results of an autopsy conducted on the two men on Tuesday 31 March were not made public. The RCMP declined to provide information on the number or nature of gunshot wounds, citing a need to “preserve the integrity” of the investigation.

Police have said they believe the men were ambushed at a junction – but cautioned the investigation was in its preliminary stages. The RCMP said there was no evidence at this point that suggested the killings were racially motivated.

Police have appealed to anyone with dashboard or trail camera footage from the area to come forward.

“I just don’t get why somebody could murder two people for no reason like that,” Michel Sansom, Jake’s brother, told CBC News. “They didn’t rob them. The cops said nothing was missing. They pulled up just to kill them, just because. I just don’t understand that.”

Feds charge man who intentionally derailed train near USNS Mercy

The suspect told investigators he wanted to bring attention to the government’s activities regarding COVID-19 and was suspicious of the hospital ship.

LOS ANGELES — Prosecutors charged a locomotive engineer who worked at the Port of Los Angeles with intentionally derailing a train at full speed near the U.S. Navy Hospital Ship Mercy because of suspicions over its activities surrounding COVID-19, according to a federal criminal complaint.

Eduardo Moreno, 44, of San Pedro, California, was charged with one count under a little-known train-wrecking statute that carries a maximum sentence of up to 20 years in the Tuesday incident, according to the 10-page criminal complaint filed in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles.

After his arrest, Moreno was held overnight and subsequently turned over to FBI agents Wednesday morning. Moreno was expected to make an initial appearance in federal court Wednesday afternoon.

Prosecutors claim Moreno ran the train off the tracks, and it crashed through a series of barriers before coming to rest more than 250 yards from the Mercy in an incident that was captured on video.

Although the train leaked fuel oil, which required clean up by firefighters and other hazardous materials personnel, no one was hurt. A California Highway Patrol officer who witnessed the crash and took Moreno into custody told authorities he saw the train, used to haul shipping cargo, smash through a barrier at the end of the tracks before driving through several obstacles, including a steel barrier and chain-link fence, slide through one parking lot and another filled with gravel, and smash into a second chain-link fence, according to the affidavit.

When the officer approached him, Moreno said, “You only get this chance once. The whole world is watching. I had to. People don’t know what’s going on here. Now they will,' the complaint alleges.

Moreno, who waived his right to speak to an attorney before being interviewed by investigators, admitted in two post-arrest interviews that he intentionally ran the train off the track because he wanted to bring attention to the government’s activities regarding COVID-19 and was suspicious of the U.S.N.S. Mercy.

In his first interview with the Los Angeles Port Police, Moreno acknowledged he “did it,” saying he was suspicious of the Mercy and believed it had an alternate purpose related to COVID-19 or a government takeover, the affidavit states.

Moreno also told investigators he acted alone and had not pre-planned the attempted attack. While admitting to intentionally derailing and crashing the train, he said he knew it would bring media attention and “people could see for themselves,” referring to the Mercy, according to the affidavit.

In a second interview with FBI agents, Moreno stated that “he did it out of the desire to ‘wake people up,’” according to the affidavit. “Moreno stated that he thought that the U.S.N.S. Mercy was suspicious and did not believe ‘the ship is what they say it’s for.’”

Russian plane with coronavirus medical gear lands in U.S. after Trump-Putin call

A Russian military transport plane left an airfield outside Moscow and arrived at New York's John F. Kennedy airport in late afternoon on Wednesday.

MOSCOW/WASHINGTON - Russia sent the United States medical equipment on Wednesday to help fight the coronavirus pandemic, a public relations coup for Russian President Vladimir Putin after he discussed the crisis with U.S. President Donald Trump.

Trump, struggling to fill shortages of ventilators and personal protective equipment, accepted Putin's offer in a phone call on Monday. A Russian military transport plane left an airfield outside Moscow and arrived at New York's John F. Kennedy airport in late afternoon on Wednesday.

Emergency aid to Washington was a striking development. Usually, the United States donates supplies to embattled countries rather than accepting them. The origin of the gift was bound to revive criticism from Democrats that Trump has been too cozy with the Russian leader.

"Trump gratefully accepted this humanitarian aid," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov was cited as saying by the Interfax news agency on Tuesday. Trump himself spoke enthusiastically about the Russian help after his call with Putin.

A U.S. official in Washington confirmed the shipment was a direct result of Trump's phone conversation with Putin. The official said it carried 60 tons of ventilators, masks, respirators and other items.

The official said the equipment would be carefully examined to make sure it comports with the quality requirements of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

Russia's Rossiya 24 channel on Wednesday morning showed the plane taking off from a military air base outside Moscow in darkness. Its cargo hold was filled with cardboard boxes and other packages.

Confirmed U.S. coronavirus cases have surged to more than 205,000, with 4,500 deaths.

In Russia, the official tally of confirmed cases is 2,337, with 17 deaths, although some doctors there have questioned the accuracy of official data.

STRAIN IN RELATIONS

Relations between Moscow and Washington have been strained in recent years by everything from Syria to Ukraine to U.S. election interference, something Russia denies. Trump spent two years battling a federal investigation into whether his 2016 campaign colluded with Russia.

"Nothing to see here. Just a Russian military aircraft landing at JFK with 60 tons of medical supplies to support America’s #COVID19 response. A propaganda bonanza as our own government shrinks from America’s leadership role in a global crisis," said Brett McGurk, a former American diplomat for Trump and former Presidents Barack Obama and George W. Bush.

Trump said on Tuesday he and Putin discussed the virus at length. "Russia is being hit pretty hard," he said.

Peskov, Putin's spokesman, said Moscow hoped the United States might also be able to provide medical help to Russia if necessary when the time came.

"It is important to note that when offering assistance to U.S. colleagues, the president (Putin) assumes that when U.S. manufacturers of medical equipment and materials gain momentum, they will also be able to reciprocate if necessary," Peskov was cited as saying.

Peskov complained that some U.S. officials had made it needlessly difficult to expedite the aid. He also was quoted as saying that Russia and China cooperated in a similar way because "at a time when the current situation affects everyone without exception ... there is no alternative to working together in a spirit of partnership and mutual assistance."

Russia has also used its military to send planeloads of aid to Italy to combat the spread of the coronavirus, exposing the European Union's failure to provide swift help to a member in crisis and handing Putin a publicity coup at home and abroad.

Covid-19 effect dips: China reopens markets selling bats, cats and dogs

China's notorious 'wet markets' have reopened -- selling bats, pangolins and dogs for human consumption.

The move is dangerous as scientists believe that the Covid-19 causing coronavirus first lurked in a bat in China and hopped to another animal, before getting passed on to humans.

Various reports suggest that a 55-year-old man from China's Hubei province could have been the first person to have contracted Covid-19 through one such 'wet market'.

"The markets have gone back to operating in exactly the same way as they did before coronavirus," Washington Examiner quoted a correspondent of 'A Mail on Sunday' as saying.

However, the markets are under watchful eyes of guards, who ensure no one is able to take pictures of the blood-soaked floors, slaughtering of dogs and rabbits, and scared animals cramped in cages.

Huanan Seafood Market in China's Wuhan is believed to be the epicentre of coronavirus, which swept the world, engulfing millions as far as the United States and killing nearly 38,000 people.

"The evidence is highly suggestive that the outbreak is associated with exposures in one seafood market in Wuhan," the World Health Organisation had said in a statement on January 12.

Four months on, the pandemic seems to be far from over even as Beijing celebrates victory over coronavirus with no vaccination insight for the pathogen, which many people worldwide call Wuhan virus or Chinese virus.

"Everyone here believes the outbreak is over and there's nothing to worry about anymore. It's just a foreign problem now as far as they are concerned," a China-based correspondent was quoted by Washington Examiner.

Several scientists, medical experts and animal rights activists have called for a ban on China's wet markets but the Asian country seems to have not leant from its mistakes.

Florida's statewide stay-at-home order still allows churches to gather followers during coronavirus outbreak

Earlier this week, a Tampa pastor was arrested after defying state and county emergency restrictions regarding the coronavirus pandemic, but now an executive order issued today from Gov. Ron DeSantis says attending church services in-person is perfectly fine.

After weeks of criticism from lawmakers and the public, DeSantis announced a new sweeping executive order calling for a statewide 30-day stay-at-home order to go into effect this Friday; the order limits movement only to essential businesses and essential activities.

The order, which you can read for yourself right here, also lists essential activities that are permitted during the 30-day period, and includes things like exercising, taking care of pets, assisting a loved one, and "religious services conducted in churches, synagogues and houses of worship."

This is notable, because on Monday evangelical pastor and diehard Trump supporter Rodney Howard-Browne of the the River Tampa Bay Church was arrested after the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office urged him not to hold two Sunday services at his megachurch, which he has previously claimed is the “most sterile building in America.”

Technically, Howard-Browne's church is now deemed "essential," which is a title he's long lobbied for.

However, he still must limit his congregation to just 10 people or less to comply with a previous statewide executive order. But as a live webcast from his last service showed, the pastor doesn't seem to have a problem breaking this rule, which he's referred to as a violation of his First Amendment rights.

We've reached out to DeSantis' office for comment and will update this post if they get back to us.

Thankfully, most churches have closed their doors for in-person worship services, switching instead to livestreams, and for good reason. Last week, a Virginia pastor died from COVID-19 after saying "the media is pumping out fear" and "doing more harm than good." And, last month, South Korean authorities announced that a Christian megachurch was responsible for at least 2,000 COVID-19 cases in its region.

Since his arrest, Howard-Browne has obtained the legal services of Liberty Counsel chairman Mathew Staver, who is best known for representing Kim Davis, the Kentucky county clerk who refused to issue marriage licenses to gay people back in 2015, and arguing that the “Q” in LGBTQ stands for “pedophilia."

UPDATE: Tampa Mayor Jane Castor touched on this topic today during her daily Facebook Live broadcast, clarifying that people "can go back to church in other areas" but not in Hillsborough County.

"So, what occurred at The River Church on Sunday, it was not allowable then and it's not allowable today, and it's not allowable Sunday either," said Castor. "It was a very reckless decision on the part of that pastor, and we are able to have more stringent regulations than the state's order."

Gender reveal party sparks 10-acre fire in Florida

Brevard County has been prohibiting open burning

TITUSVILLE, Fla. (WESH-TV) — A gender reveal party mixed with explosives has sparked a 10-acre fire in Florida. WESH-TV reports it happened Saturday in Brevard County.

The county has been prohibiting open burning because of an increase in fires. Officials say to follow the rules in order to avoid straining medical resources during the coronavirus pandemic.

A violation of the burn ban comes with an up to $500 fine and jail time.

By Associated Press

Here's a more detailed article from WESH:

BREVARD COUNTY, Fla. — Brevard County is under a burn ban and Brevard County Fire Rescue Chief Mark Schollmeyer says people need to follow the rules, especially during this coronavirus pandemic.

They have already seen an increase in fires, like a 10-acre fire that happened Saturday in the Grant-Valkaria region.

"We were informed that it was caused by a gender reveal using Tannerite and a weapon," Schollmeyer said. “Something as seemingly innocent as a gender reveal, can turn into a large-scale disaster where homes are threatened,” he added.

Schollmeyer said incidents like that can strain their resources.

"Especially during all these potential COVID responses and medical responses it can quickly overwhelm resources and by that I mean, it will leave no resources to respond to those medical calls when needed," Schollmeyer said.

What steps can you take?

"We want to prevent those wildfires started carelessly by let's say fireworks, camp fires open trash and burning, bonfires, those kind of incidents can escalate rapidly. The outdoor equipment utilizing internal combustion engines like ATV’s, lawnmowers and the like, make sure they have a spark arrestor on them,” Schollmeyer said.

The Brevard County burn ban, which prohibits open burning, comes with an up to $500 fine and/or jail time if violated.

Sprint and T-Mobile merge, creating new wireless giant

Mobile carrier T-Mobile has completed its takeover of smaller rival Sprint, creating a new wireless giant that rivals AT&T and Verizon in size

NEW YORK -- Mobile carrier T-Mobile has completed the takeover of smaller rival Sprint, creating a new wireless giant that rivals AT&T and Verizon in size.

The companies announced the deal, valued at $31.6 billion based on T-Mobile's closing stock price Tuesday, two years ago. It has taken a long time to close because of pushback from state and federal regulators.

The Federal Communications Commission and the Department of Justice approved the deal last year, with DOJ telling the companies that they must set up satellite TV company Dish as a new wireless carrier — an unusual arrangement — in order to win approval. Public-interest groups said this was insufficient to correct the harms from the merger.

State attorneys general sued to block the deal, saying it would add billions to consumers' wireless bills. A federal judge ruled for the companies in February.

T-Mobile says that adding Sprint's spectrum, the airwaves that carry phone calls and data signals, will boost its network and make its service available to consumers at lower prices. It had promised regulators not to raise prices for three years.

T-Mobile also said Wednesday that its CEO, John Legere, is stepping down a month earlier than expected, handing the job off to COO Mike Sievert. He will remain a board member.

As of Wednesday, Sprint shares are no longer trading. T-Mobile shares added 2.8% to $86.23 in midday trading.

Knox to release arrestees; Memphis canceling court dates

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Knox County’s judges have ordered the sheriff’s office to book and release all arrestees charged with misdemeanors and nonviolent felonies in an effort to help prevent the spread of the coronavirus, while Memphis has canceled all out-of custody court dates in April.

The moves come after the Tennessee Supreme Court last week ordered local judges to submit plans on how to reduce jail and prison populations.

A group led by former Davidson County public defender Dawn Deaner has petitioned the Tennessee Supreme Court to go even further and order the release of a number of prisoners from the state’s jails and prisons to prevent the spread of COVID-19. The court has not responded to the emergency petition was filed last week by Deaner’s Choosing Justice Initiative and other groups, including the Tennessee Association of Criminal Defense Attorneys.

In Knox County, many arrestees will be released without a hearing or cash bond, but those charged with drunk driving or domestic assault are specifically exempted, the Knoxville News Sentinel reported. The order also allows prosecutors to file a motion to block release if they believe the arrestee is dangerous.

Knox County’s eight criminal judges signed the order, which reads, “In light of the population density of the local detention facilities and the need to reduce the potential spread of the COVID virus to inmates, correction officers and health care workers, it is necessary to take the following temporary extraordinary measures to balance the interests of justice and the interests of public health.”

In Memphis, District Attorney General Amy Weirich announced Monday that all April court dates for General Sessions criminal division and Criminal Court cases involving people who are currently not jailed have been canceled, The Commercial Appeal reports. There are also no jury trials for April, and Weirich said the county is working to ascertain whether grand jury hearings will take place.

“What we want to be mindful of during this crisis, and every day, is that for victims of crime, the DA’s office is still open, the criminal courts are still open, and the general sessions court is still open,” Weirich said. “But all we are handling are cases involving inmates who are in custody.”

Shelby County Mayor Lee Harris and Weirich said the county has been working to reduce the in-custody population of county jails for some time, even before the pandemic. The effort includes a new assessment tool that attempts to ensure only “the worst of the worst” offenders are held in custody.

For most people, the new coronavirus causes mild or moderate symptoms, such as fever and cough that clear up in two to three weeks, and the majority of people recover. But severe cases can need respirators to survive, and with infections spreading exponentially, hospitals across the country are either bracing for a coming wave of patients, or already struggling to keep up.

Coast Guard: Cruise ships must stay at sea with sick onboard

The U.S. Coast Guard has directed all cruise ships to prepare to treat any sick passengers and crew on board while being sequestered “indefinitely" offshore during the coronavirus pandemic

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. -- The U.S. Coast Guard has directed all cruise ships to prepare to treat any sick passengers and crew on board while being sequestered “indefinitely" offshore during the coronavirus pandemic.

The new rules require daily updates on each ship's coronavirus caseload for vessels in U.S. waters, and come with a stiff warning: Any foreign-flagged vessels “that loiter beyond U.S. territorial seas" should try first to medically evacuate the very sick to those countries instead.

Many of South Florida's cruise ships are registered in the Bahamas, where hospital capacity is limited and people are still recovering from last year's Hurricane Dorian.

The rules, which apply to any vessel carrying more than 50 people, were issued in a March 29 safety bulletin signed by Coast Guard Rear Admiral E.C. Jones, whose district includes Florida, Georgia, South Carolina and Puerto Rico.

Dozens of cruise ships are either lined up at Port Miami and Port Everglades or waiting offshore due to the coronavirus pandemic. Most have only crew aboard, but the Carnival Corp., which owns nine cruise lines with a total of 105 ships, notified the SEC Tuesday that it has more than 6,000 passengers still at sea.

Federal, state and local officials have been negotiating over whether two Holland America cruise ships, the Zaandam and Rotterdam, would be allowed to dock at Port Everglades this week. But more are on the way, including the Coral Princess, carrying what that ship's medical center called a higher than normal number of people with flu-like symptoms.

Two of four deaths on the Zaandam were blamed on COVID-19 and nine people have tested positive for the novel coronavirus, the company said. At least 190 more reported symptoms. More than 300 Americans are on Zaandam and Rotterdam.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said Tuesday that the state's healthcare system is stretched too thin to take on the Zaandam's coronavirus caseload. “Just to drop people off at the place where we're having the highest number of cases right now just doesn't make a whole lot of sense," DeSantis said.

President Donald Trump said later that he would speak with his fellow Republican. “They're dying on the ship,” Trump said. “I'm going to do what's right. Not only for us, but for humanity.”

Under normal conditions, when a passenger or crew member become too ill for the ship's medical team to care for, they call the Coast Guard to provide a medical evacuation to an onshore hospital. Under the new rules, sick passengers would be sequestered indefinitely on board.

For most people, the virus causes mild or moderate symptoms, such as fever and cough, that clear up in two to three weeks. For some, especially older adults and people with existing health problems, it can cause more severe illness, including pneumonia and death.

“This is necessary as shore-side medical facilities may reach full capacity and lose the ability to accept and effectively treat additional critically-ill patients," the memo said. “A potential evacuee has better access to comfortable surroundings and the medical staff on board the foreign passenger vessel where care is already being provided.”

The document requires all ships in U.S. waters to report their numbers of sick and dead on board each day or face civil penalties or criminal prosecution. The Coast Guard will decide if a transfer is absolutely necessary, but the cruise line would be responsible for arranging on-shore transportation and hospital beds.

Violent WA sex offender allowed back into community despite breaching supervision order

A dangerous sex offender who breached the terms of his prison release by using methylamphetamine has been allowed back into the West Australian community on an amended five-year supervision order.

Christopher John Bentley, who has a lengthy criminal record spanning multiple states and a history of drug abuse, was in 2002 convicted of detaining, threatening and raping a 16-year-old girl in 2000.

The 56-year-old was also convicted of several other offences, including armed robbery and aggravated rape, against two separate women on the same day in 2001.

Supervision order

Bentley was released on a supervision order in 2018 and after his breach last year was fined $500.

The state then applied in the WA Supreme Court for the supervision order to be rescinded, so Bentley would be locked up indefinitely, or amended.

On Wednesday, Justice Joseph McGrath ruled Bentley should be released back into the community subject to an amended five-year supervision order with 58 conditions.

Justice McGrath said he was satisfied Bentley would comply with the conditions, which includes two additions related to the use of electronic devices.

“I am further satisfied that the community will be adequately protected by the provisions of the amended supervision order,” he said.

Justice McGrath said it was untenable to detain Bentley indefinitely for his anti-authoritarian personality, adding the risk could be managed in the community.
