Watch: White men bikers spew racial slurs, beat black man in Indiana bar
White men spew racist slur, beat black man
A
disturbing incident at an Indiana bar, caught on camera, showed several white men wearing "Outlaw" biker vests physically assaulting a black patron, as reported New York Post.
The violent confrontation occurred at Pike's Pub in Waynedale on Friday night, with footage showing patrons screaming as the altercation knocked drinks off tables.
The Allen County Sheriff's Department received a call around 11 pm (US time) regarding an allegedly intoxicated person requiring removal from the premises. Upon arrival, the victim declined to provide details about his attackers.
The victim was subsequently transported to a local hospital and was listed in fair condition.
According to Pike's Pub owner Kelley Rost, who was absent during the incident, the confrontation began when the man refused to settle his bill.
The assailants were identified as likely members of the Outlaws Motorcycle Club, a notorious group in Fort Wayne.
'There are two sides to every story,' Rost told the Wane 15.
Fort Wayne Mayor Sharon Tucker expressed concern in a social media comment, stating she found the footage "very disturbing to watch.
I am seeking answers as I am sure many of you are, too."
'I am in communication with our team and will continue to gather information as it becomes available,' Tucker said
Local residents organised protests near the establishment, gathering in a nearby nursing home car park. Police revisited the premises on Saturday for further investigation, with the case now being transferred to the Criminal Investigations Division.

‘Was Terrified': Diddy's Former Assistant Alleges Years Of Abuse In Court
Last Updated: Diddy's ex-assistant claimed that the music mogul tried to control Cassie Ventura during their long and unstable relationship. Sean 'Diddy" Combs is facing serious accusations in a sex trafficking case and recently, his former assistant, Mia, between 2009 and 2017, spoke in court. The woman said that Diddy hurt her in different ways and the work environment was very stressful. She also talked about how Diddy controlled singer Cassie Ventura, who had a long and complicated relationship with the music mogul. During the trial, prominent names were mentioned, showing how connected Diddy is with many stars. The court also saw text messages between Mia and Diddy, which revealed more about how they worked together and how close Diddy was to other well known people in the entertainment business. According to the New York Post, on March 8, 2019, Mia suggested Diddy to watch the Netflix series Love, which was directed by Judd Apatow. Then, on May 14, 2020, she messaged Diddy again after the passing of Andre Harrell. Andre was not only a big name in the music industry but also an important figure in Diddy's life and career. He is often remembered as the person who discovered Diddy and helped him rise in the business. In the text, Mia wrote, 'Puff, my heart is broken about Dre. I've spent all week crying for you as well." Mia also reached out to Diddy after the tragic death of actor Chadwick Boseman. In reply, Diddy sent a short message and asked, 'How are you? Yeah, life is crazy." One of the strongest claims made by Mia was about how Diddy acted around singer Cassie Ventura. She claimed that he tried to control Cassie during their long and unstable relationship. Speaking in the court, Mia said, 'He's stolen my phone many times, he's stolen Cassie's phone many times. He's put tracking devices on her car. I'm not sure what he's capable of. I was terrified." After leaving Diddy's company, Bad Boy Records, in 2017, Mia shared with the court that she later worked for Madonna for about eight months. During that time, she handled many different tasks and was mainly brought in to help manage the pop star's film projects. However, her role quickly grew and she ended up taking care of several other things too. Mia also said that after she left Diddy's company, he tried to stop her from getting jobs in the industry by damaging her reputation. But despite that, the pop star didn't let it affect her decision and still gave Mia the job. First Published:

Gaza: UN chief demands probe as more killed at aid site
Gaza: UN chief demands probe as more killed at aid site (ANI) Witnesses and relief workers on Tuesday said that the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) in Gaza had fired on Palestinian civilians waiting for aid for the second time in three days. Medics said at least 27 people were killed. The IDF said that it had fired at people who "posed a threat" near the the Al-Alam roundabout in the southern Gaza city of Rafah. The location is close to an aid center run by the controversial US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) aid center. Witnesses reported being fired at by drones and helicopters. UN human rights chief Volker Türk condemned the shootings, saying: "Deadly attacks on distraught civilians trying to access the paltry amounts of food aid in Gaza are directed against civilians constitute a grave breach of international law and a war crime." UN's Guterres saying killings are 'unacceptable' UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Monday had called for an independent investigation into the deaths of dozens of Palestinians near an aid distribution site in Gaza, prompting a fierce response from Israel. Guterres said in a statement that he was "appalled by the reports of Palestinians killed and injured while seeking aid in Gaza." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Dermatologista recomenda: simples truque elimina o fungo facilmente Acabe com o Fungo Undo "It is unacceptable that Palestinians are risking their lives for food," the UN leader's statement said. "I call for an immediate and independent investigation into these events and for perpetrators to be held accountable," Guterres said. Aid workers and civilians said on Sunday that Israeli forces fired on Palestinians waiting to receive aid close to a distribution site in Gaza. Journalists also reported receiving an off the record statement from the Israeli military saying that they had fired on "suspects" who posed a threat. At least 21 were killed and scores more injured, according to a Red Cross field hospital and numerous witnesses. Israel's Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemned Guterres' statement as a "disgrace," and criticized him for ignoring the role of the Palestinian militant group Hamas. Hamas, which is in charge of Gaza, is considered a terrorist group by Israel, the US and several other countries. Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman Oren Marmorstein wrote in a post on X that Guterres' statement did not mention "the fact that Hamas is the one shooting civilians and trying to prevent them from collecting aid packages." Marmorstein's claims have not been confirmed by any other source.

America's remittance tax will empower shady cash-transfer cartels
Hidden on page 1,054 of US President Donald Trump's 'big, beautiful bill' is a threat to impose a 3.5% tax on all remittance transfers made by non-citizens to accounts outside the country. This is a dangerous, backward-looking provision, and will make Americans less safe without raising much revenue. It is easy to understand why a measure like this would appeal to the current US administration. It makes migrants' lives harder and that's enough for it to be worth passing into law. And it certainly will create difficulties for millions of legal and illegal immigrants in the US, as well as for their families outside. Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum has been a vocal opponent, saying—correctly—that this is unjustifiable double taxation. Her country, the largest destination for such transfers, has a lot to lose. But other countries are also worried. Also read: Remittance tax: An idea that America should axe India is the third-largest destination for remittances from the US, receiving about $18 billion in 2024; the Philippines and China aren't far behind, at $14 billion each. According to Capital Economics, US-based remittances support 3% of the Philippines' GDP. The impact on migration-dependent areas of the world will be severe. For some countries in Central America, national income might fall by almost 1% if this proposal is implemented. Meanwhile, some estimates suggest that even a higher 5% rate would only increase US takings by 0.1%. For the remittance tax's backers, that's beside the point. Vice-President J.D. Vance, when he was still a senator, introduced a similar bill. At that time, he said that 'this legislation is a common-sense solution to disincentivize illegal immigration and reduce the cartels' financial power." That argument is backward. What common sense actually tells you is that if less money is available in some of the poorest parts of Central America, it increases the incentives for people there to try and move to the US to join their family members already there. As for the impact on criminal networks—well, history suggests that they'll welcome this. The world has spent decades trying to make legal transfers cheap and efficient. An additional levy might increase the cost of transferring even small sums four fold. This would reverse all our efforts to force this trade above ground. If legal transfers are made too expensive, illegal and informal networks take their place. Some people have happily assumed that Bitcoin will fill the gap. Also read: High-value, white-collar inflows have led a shift in India's inward remittances But, more likely, there will be a renaissance in simpler, older mechanisms for international transfers. In South and West Asia, we call these methods 'hawala.' But other parts of the world derived equivalents independently. In China, for example, such mechanisms are called 'fei-ch'ien.' From a customer's point of view, they're simple to use. All you need to do is find a well-networked trader and give them the cash to be transferred. That person then calls somebody in their clan or village back home, who gives the same amount of cash to the chosen recipient. The two members of the hawala network settle accounts between each other once or twice a year, through smuggling or perhaps through false invoices and shell companies. Naturally, such informal mechanisms to transfer value can be used not just to evade the remittance excise, but taxes in general. Worse, they are frequently used as conduits for terrorism and drug financing—which is why governments have spent decades trying to stamp them out. This was hard because, if enough people use these systems, they can be more efficient and cheaper than formal finance. The exchange rates that hawala traders offer are often more attractive, and their fees take less of a bite out of small transactions than many banks do. In spite of the best efforts of regulators and cops, hawala networks only really shrank when other routes became more competitive. Informal currency traders need a large volume of transactions to be efficient and offer the best rates to their customers, so when their custom shrank, they became less attractive. It's this self-reinforcing loop that the remittance tax threatens to break. Suddenly, hawala networks—and their equivalents in South and Central America—will become appealing again. And when this method returns to its former prominence, it will become easier to pay those who smuggle opiates or people. Also read: Mint Quick Edit | America's credit rating slip: How serious? And, of course, criminal syndicates of various types will once again step in to run these systems and profit accordingly. The US vice-president is, not for the first time, wrong: His administration's remittance tax doesn't attack shady cartels, it empowers them. ©Bloomberg
