February 21, 2020: Police have issued a murder charge warrant for an ex-marine who stabbed a gay barista to death, despite releasing him from custody last week after he claimed he acted in self-defence.



The victim, Kenneth Paterimos, 23, was involved in an argument with 30-year-old Thomas Tansey inside Richard’s Bar, Chicago. Tansey was escorted outside by security but waited outside. As Paterimos left the bar, Tansey yelled homophobic slurs at him before stabbing him eight times with a boxcutter.



According to a police report, he was stabbed once in his left ear, twice in his right arm, three times in the back of the head, once in the chest and once in the collarbone. The 23-year-old was taken to a nearby hospital, but was later pronounced dead.



The suspect was taken into police custody that night, but on Monday, February 24, he was released without charges after claiming the attack was in self-defence. Now, despite having already been arrested and released, a no-bail arrest warrant on murder charges was issued for 30-year-old Thomas Hugh Tansey in connection with the fatal stabbing of Paterimos.



Paterimos’ mother, Diona Bueno, said: “You were handed the man on a silver platter, literally, in every way, shape or form. Oh, God, but you did nothing.”

March 26, 2020: Arua Nasan and his cousin were on their way to pick akub, a wild plant popular in Palestinian dishes, at the Ein Samia spring, which is frequented by both settlers and Palestinians in the region. “We were on the main road when we saw three settlers on donkeys heading our way,” he said. “At first we didn’t even see they were settlers. They were 16-17 years old, practically children, and when they came close to us they asked what we were doing here and said we’re not allowed to come here.” At this stage, one of the youths phoned someone, he says. Within minutes two cars showed up from the direction of the settlement of Kochav Hashahar. Nasan’s cousin doubled back to call for the help of a military vehicle they had seen nearby, and the youths shouted at Nasan to throw down the hoe, with which he had been planning to pick the akub with. “I didn’t throw it down because I wanted to keep it for self—defense,” he says. One settler threw a hammer at him, hitting him in the face, while the others beat him with metal rods, he says. At that point the military vehicle drove up and most of the youths got into a car and fled the scene. He was taken to hospital, where he was diagnosed with injuries to the jaw and shoulder. He was released several hours later, and filed a complaint the following day at the Binyamin police station in the West Bank. “I want to see if they do anything about it – after all, if I had hit someone Jewish I’d be in prison now,” he says. So far no one has spoken to him from the police. “If they do nothing I’ll know the law doesn’t protect me – not as a Palestinian or an Israeli – but as a human being,” he says.

April 4-6, 2020: Hindu fascists attacked a group of Muslims in Bengaluru, India while they were distributing relief material amid the Covid-19 lockdown in Bengaluru, India. Dr Taj, who was among the group that was attacked, alleged that the attackers were members of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh Hindu-nationalist group. Taj said four of her family members, including her son, and her son’s friend were injured in the incident. “A leader said they will not allow us to distribute ration till the Health Department checked and cleared it as safe as they alleged that we were spreading virus deliberately,” Taj said. Taj said that when they approached the police, they were told that such disruptions will not be allowed in future. However, on Monday April 6th when they were distributing rations, a group of six people, different from those who confronted them on April 4, allegedly attacked them with cricket bats. “Five of us are badly injured,” Taj said. “Is it wrong that we want to help the hungry?” Taj says the assailants said: “Muslims are poisoning the rations, you people don’t deliver food here, you Muslims have to leave the slum and relocate somewhere else.” The wounded have been admitted to Dr Ambedkar Medical College in Shampur.

April 5, 2020: Three Palestinians employed as street cleaners by the Jerusalem Municipality were attacked with a knife and tear gas in the northern Jerusalem neighborhood of Ramat Eshkol. The three employees, Majd Fasfoos, Amir Dibs and Ezz el-Din Mohammed Ali, are residents of the Shoafat refugee camp in the city and are assigned to a maintenance crew that works in Ramat Eshkol. Fasfus said three Jews approached them and asked him and his colleagues to come with them. “I thought they were from the police, and I asked to see identification, but they started beating me up,” he said. At that point, Fasfoos said, his two associates tried to intervene and the assailants sprayed them with tear gas, after which one assailant pulled a knife and cut Fasfoos on the head. He was taken to Hadassah Medical Center on Mount Scopus, where doctors stitched his wound.

After refusing to exit his vehicle for 20 minutes Swenson surrendered and was arrested “wearing a ballistic vest with a handgun holster, rifle, and pistol magazines on the chest.”

May 8, 2020: The FBI arrested an Ohio 'Boogaloo Boi’ for plotting ambush of police officers at a national park. The self-described “Boogaloo Boi” had a carefully laid-out plan: In order to spark an uprising that would lead to the imposition of martial law and thus the next civil war, he would ambush police officers responding to a fake domestic-violence call, who were to be stealthily surrounded by armed militiamen, “and the officers would have to put their pistols on the ground or get shot by the count of ten.” He also “hoped we don’t have to put them down, but I will do it if I have to.”



Christian Ferguson of Cleveland, Ohio, performed a “dry run” of his plan with a couple of men he thought were fellow militiamen at Cuyahoga National Park. The men, however, were informants, and later that day the FBI arrested Ferguson and charged him with plotting to kidnap or kill police officers in order to steal their equipment and draw atten
