Wanted registered sex offender arrested in Vallejo for setting man on fire, assaulting woman
A wanted registered sex offender was arrested on attempted murder charges after a man suffered severe burns in a fire and a woman reported she was sexually assaulted early last month, the Vallejo Police Department said. Around 6:30 a.m. on May 10, police and fire crews responded to a fire under the Lincoln Road East overpass near Solano Avenue, where they found a man suffering from severe burns. That man was taken to the hospital with a life-threatening injury, police said. Police later identified a second victim who reported she was forcibly taken and held against her will during the same time, police said. The woman said she was attacked, forced to take drugs and sexually assaulted by the suspect connected to the shooting. The suspect was then identified as 39-year-old Joshua Bryan Anderson of Vallejo, who police said is a registered sex offender on parole. He was also on probation for domestic violence and had two outstanding arrest warrants. After obtaining an arrest warrant, Anderson was located at a homeless encampment near Avian Drive and was arrested Saturday morning. He was booked into jail on multiple charges, including attempted murder, aggravated mayhem, kidnapping and rape, police said.

Woman Says She's Torn About Reporting Suspicions Her Neighbor Is Having an Affair: 'Morally, I Should Say Something'
A woman revealed in a Mumsnet post that she's considering confronting her neighbor after observing questionable behavior 'She is always 'done up' in makeup and wearing flattering outfits - tight dresses, heels etc," the woman said of her neighbor Responses to the post reacted negatively to her sleuthing and told her to "mind your own business"A woman thinks her neighbor is having an affair and is torn about sharing her suspicions. In a post on the popular U.K.-based forum Mumsnet, the woman shared that she lives next door to a couple with the woman in her 30s and the man in his 40s. 'Both are pleasant, and the man does shift work - one week a month, he leaves early evening and works into the following day,' the woman wrote. In recent months, the woman and her partner have noticed that 'a couple of times a week when her partner is on lates, the lady will be picked up by a car (the same one),' she continued. The woman's neighbor doesn't drive, and the car picks her up around 6:30/7 p.m. and doesn't 'return until closer to midnight - the car will usually linger outside with the engine running as they are in it chatting.' As the nights have gotten lighter, the woman and her partner have noticed that the wife's appearance has gotten flashier. 'She is always 'done up' in makeup and wearing flattering outfits - tight dresses, heels etc. On one occasion, my DH [dear husband] was out the front and he said there was an overbearing smell of perfume. She rarely appears like this at any other time when her partner is home,' the woman detailed. 'She has gone out again tonight and we've noticed her - again the same car, and her all dressed up,' she continued.

The woman and her partner are now convinced the wife is up to no good. 'We are convinced she is having an affair, it has all the hallmarks and it's too much of a coincidence to only be when her partner is working late,' she wrote. "I feel like morally, I should say something - but I don't want to put my foot in it.

'Mind your own business,' one user bluntly put it. 'You have no idea what's going on, and it's none of your business. I'd leave well alone,' another wrote. Others offered scenarios where the meetups could be innocent, such as the neighbor could be with a coworker or brother. In an update, the poster felt justified in wanting to share her suspicions. 'Because our neighbor is a very nice man and if I was in his position, I'd want to know?' she wrote. 'Heck, they could be trying for a baby for all I know, and I'd potentially save him from the mess that would bring.' Read the original article on People

The Tunnel That Leads Underneath a Hospital in Southern Gaza
Two feet wide and less than six feet tall, the tunnel led deep beneath a major hospital in southern Gaza. The underground air bore the stench of what smelled like human remains. After walking some 40 yards along the tunnel, we found the likely cause. In a tiny room that the tunnel led to, the floor was stained with blood. It was here, according to the Israeli military, that Muhammad Sinwar — one of Hamas's top militant commanders — was killed last month after a nearby barrage of Israeli strikes. What we saw in that dark and narrow tunnel is one of the war's biggest Rorschach tests, the embodiment of a broader narrative battle between Israelis and Palestinians over how the conflict should be portrayed. The military escorted a reporter from The New York Times to the tunnel on Sunday afternoon, as part of a brief and controlled visit for international journalists that the Israelis hoped would prove that Hamas uses civilian infrastructure as a shield for militant activity. To Palestinians, Israel's attack on, and subsequent capture of, the hospital compound highlighted its own disregard for civilian activity. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.
