Satanists to do invocation at Phoenix City Council meeting

The Arizona Republic
PHOENIX — Members of a satanic group will give the opening prayer at an upcoming Phoenix City Council meeting.

Some council members have objected, but city attorney Brad Holm says the government cannot exclude a religion from praying under such circumstances.

Satanic Temple member Stu de Haan says the group doesn't intend to do anything offensive. He says the Satanic Temple doesn't believe in a literal Satan but see the biblical Satan as a metaphor for rebellion against tyranny.

The Arizona Republic reports that the temple will perform the invocation on Feb. 17.

The city's invocation has been delivered by Christians, Jews, Muslims, Sikhs and people of other faiths. The temple submitted a request in December to give the prayer.

Police training eagles to take down drones



The Dutch police have partnered with Guard From Above, a raptor training company based in Denmark, to determine whether eagles could be used as intelligent, adaptive anti-drone weapon systems. The eagles are specially trained to identify and capture drones, although from the way most birds of prey react to drones, my guess is that not a lot of training was necessary. After snatching the drone out of the sky, the eagles instinctively find a safe area away from people to land and try take a couple confused bites out of their mechanical prey before their handlers can reward them with something a little less plastic-y. The advantage here is that with the eagles, you don’t have to worry about the drone taking off out of control or falling on people, since the birds are very good at mid-air intercepts as well as bringing the drone to the ground without endangering anyone.

What's your name? The teenager told cops his name was Count Dooku, played by Christopher Lee​
A Star Wars fanatic has been slapped with a fine after getting into a drunken row over the strength of the Republic then giving his name as Count Dooku.
Police say they found two young men, aged 17 and 18, arguing after disgruntled neighbours reported the dispute at around 5.10am on Sunday.
When officers arrived at the scene in Fredericia, Denmark, they tried to calm the teenagers , who were in an "extremely drunken state".
According to police , the Star Wars fanatics were in disagreement over the strength of the Republic, a fictional government in the sci-fi movies.
Speaking to TV2 News, Peter Balsgaard, of South Jutland Police, said: “We did indeed encounter two people who were yelling and screaming at each other.
"It turned out to be two people who knew each other but were in an extremely drunken state.
“And the thing they were so loudly discussing were their differing opinions on the strength of the Republic in Star Wars."
One of the lads was charged with disturbing the peace, reports The Local .
However, he initially refused to give his name, telling officers he was called Count Dooku, a Jedi Master turned menacing Sith Lord.
Eventually, the teenager gave his name and was handed a fine.
 
SMITHSONIAN EMPLOYEE ACCUSED OF RAPING 2500-YEAR OLD MUMMY
January 28th, 2016 | by Barbara Johnson

Washington, DC| A security guard of the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History was arrested this morning, for allegedly having sex with one of the mummies of the Egyptian exhibition.
44-year old James Monroe, has worked as a night watchman for the reputed museum for the last nine years, and was almost considered a model employee until his divorce two years ago.
According to his colleagues, he suddenly became very depressed and short-tempered, and began behaving rather strangely. On two occasions, his superior even noticed that one of the mummies seemed to have been damaged during his watch, leading to the installation of some new video cameras.
The images captured by these cameras were far more disturbing than what his boss expected.
The cameras caught Mr. Monroe on Monday evening, opening the glass display case protecting the 2500-year old Egyptian mummy, lying down on top of it and sexually aggressing it. The Smithsonian fired the watchman and brought the images to the police, filing charges against their former employee for indecent exposure and destruction of property.

“The security video that the Smithsonian has provided us is really disgusting,” says D.C Police Chief, Cathy Lynn Lanier. “I understand that the mummy is not really a victim of sex crimes, but his behavior certainly caused some damages to the property of the Smithsonian, therefore, his behavior is criminal. And let’s be honest, I think he really needs help.”

The mummy was slightly damaged during Mr. Monroe’s sexual assaults, particularly in the groin area, but is still in rather good condition. The corpse is believed to have belonged to a man of the upper class, who died around 500 BC.
Mr Monroe will undergo a psychiatric assessment before the beginning of the court procedures, in order to determine if he is able to stand trial.
This process should take a few weeks, meaning Mr Monroe will probably come back in court only in March.
