After being rushed to Clinch Valley Medical Center in Richlands, Carini told police he had suffered the injuries in a lawnmower accident at his home.

The top of the container had been peeled back in a manner consistent with an explosion,” Special Agent Neil Schimke wrote. “On the ceiling above the plastic container was a red substance believed to be blood splattered on the ceiling, along with a skin colored chunk believed to be flesh.” An adjacent wall also appeared to be splattered with blood, the agent wrote. On the ground, investigators found a crumpled letter containing disturbing scenarios of revenge against women. Some of the statements included:“He casually walked through the shopping mall. His jacket concealed deadly objects.”, “He had … of tension that would come and go as he now approached the stage of hot cheerleaders.”, “Even if he died, this statement was worth it!”, “A dead seriousness sank in as he realized that he was truly passing the point of no return.” “He decided, ‘I will not back down. I will not be afraid of the consequences, no matter what. I will be heroic. I will make a statement like Elliot Rodgers did,’ he thought to himself.”.

June 13, 2020: Far-right hooligans rioted in London, attacking the few protesters who showed up to the cancelled Black Lives Matter event, journalists, random passers-by, and police. A large group of protesters abused people sitting having a picnic in Hyde Park. Video shared online shows the gang approach people gathered in the park for a picnic, before swearing at them, spitting, pushing and kicking them and forcing them to move. The incident came on the same afternoon that far-right groups clashed violently with police in central London, leading to the arrests of more than 100 people. “They were attacking anyone in their path. It could not have been LESS about statues or values or being British. It was shameful,” a witness wrote. Some of the self-proclaimed “statue defenders” then started to attack riot police near the Houses of Parliament and Trafalgar Square. They launched objects including glass bottles, smoke grenades and flares at officers. As a result of the skirmishes, the London Ambulance Service said it treated 15 people for their injuries, including two members of the police.

June 14, 2020: A small-town solidarity rally with Black Lives Matter ended in chaos after some of President Donald Trump’s supporters showed up with guns to intimidate demonstrators. Alicia Gee, a 36-year-old substitute teacher, was inspired by demonstrations in Hazard, Kentucky, to hold a protest in her hometown of Bethel, Ohio, to show support for equal rights. But her plans were upended when a group of armed motorcyclists and others showed up wearing Confederate flag, Punisher and Trump-themed hats and clothing, some of them apparently drawn by online warnings that the demonstration was organized by Antifa activists. “Around 3:30, the… counterprotesters?, started walking down on the other side of the street from up town, yelling obscenities and threatening us,” wrote demonstrator Abbi Remers, whose brother was punched and knocked to the ground.” A few started coming over and ripping signs out of our hands, ripping the hats and masks off of our faces, ripping things out of our pockets. Then they started surrounding us.” Police stood by as the protesters interfered with the demonstration, which ended up drawing up to 800 people, and demonstrators felt threatened by the armed group. Officials reported about 10 “minor scuffles” during the clash, but some social media users posted photos of injuries consistent with physical assaults.

July 7, 2020: A man pulled a knife and hurled homophobic slurs during a robbery in New York City, but he was subsequently wrestled to the ground by the gay couple he attacked. Ricky Bellevue and Trevel Parrish approached gay couple Kelson Akomolafe and Edward Hoard and started shouting homophobic abuse at them. Bellevue allegedly called the couple “f**king f*ggots” and told them to “go back to your country”. He then pulled out a red-handled knife and insisted that they hand over their belongings. “Now I’m going to rob you two f*ggots!” Bellevue shouted before attacking the men. The assailant proceeded to attack Akomolafe, and Parrish approached them from behind with a long silver blade, but Akomolafe started to struggle with his attacker, and sustained injuries to his face and hand in the process. Incredibly, the gay couple managed to fight off their attackers – and by the time five police officers arrived on the scene, they were restrained. However, their struggle didn’t end there – police arrested Akomolafe too. “I was detained for the first time in my life. I was just lucky not to be shedding tears. After all of this, how can I have handcuffs on my hands? The procedure was overwhelming.” He was later released, but the couple had to spend hours answering questions from police.

August 13, 2020: Three Indian journalists are attacked by a Hindu mob while reporting on a story in New Delhi. The journalists and two colleagues were filming for The Caravan magazine in northeast Delhi, which was hit by religious violence in February. At least 53 people were killed in that violence, most of them Muslims. Singh, a writer at the Caravan, said Tantray and a female reporter were capturing a scene of a local street decked out with religious flags associated with Hindu far-right groups, when three to four men came out and started shouting at them for taking pictures. As a man kept asking for Tantray’s name, Singh began calling Tantray by a Hindu name, “Sagar”. “Chalo Sagar yahan se’ (Let’s go from here, Sagar),” Singh, who is a Sikh, told Tantray as he wanted to save him from the mob. “I could clearly see the hatred in their eyes, the communally frenzied eyes. I wore a turban as a Sikh and they were conscious of my religious identity, too. But their enemy was Shahid (Tantray), a Muslim,” Singh told Al Jazeera. “A BJP man shouted that he (Tantray) is a Muslim and started calling more people to the scene,” he said. Eventually the mob grew to more than a hundred people. “The mob beat me, punched on my neck and back, and tried to strangle me with the camera strap. I have pain in my neck as well as lower back since then.” SOURCE: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2020/08/indian-journalists-assaulted-hindu-mob-delhi-200813101156306.html
