NYC woman declined to press charges against subway shover ‘because she didn’t want to put another black man in jail’… weeks later he allegedly killed retired teacher, 76, at station
A young woman in New York City said she declined pressing charges against a violent suspect because she didn’t want to put ‘another black man in jail,’ weeks before he allegedly killed a 76-year-old retired teacher.
The 23-year-old woman anonymously detailed how she and a friend narrowly escaped Rhamell Burke, 32, after he allegedly attacked them while riding the subway on April 2.
The straphanger told the New York Post she now completely regrets her decision not to work with prosecutors after Burke was charged with murder on Friday for allegedly shoving 76-year-old Ross Falzone down a flight of stairs to his death at a subway station Thursday night.
‘Maybe a part of me was just like, I don’t want to put another black man in jail, but, you know, at some point, if you are a criminal, you’re a criminal, and he was scary, he was a scary guy,’ the unidentified woman told the outlet.
Police say Rhamell Burke was released from Bellevue Hospital roughly five hours before the deadly subway attack on Ross Falzone (Pictured) on Thursday

Trump Forces Iran to the Table: The New World Order Takes Shape
“From direct negotiations between the United States and Iran for the first time in nearly half a century… to coordinated diplomatic and military movement across the Middle East, South Asia, and beyond… the old geopolitical order is being replaced in real time. This is not chaos. This is strategy.”

This is required viewing if you are interested in what is happening in Iran, the Middle East and the world. It’s a great take on the events of today and historically. I hope he’s right. ABN

NASA astronaut finds God after returning to Earth: Reid Wiseman breaks down in tears after seeing a cross – as he claims ‘it’s very hard to fully grasp what we just went through’
#bravery #psychology #religion #technologyThe Artemis II commander, who says he is ‘not religious’, was reflecting on his mammoth mission to space during a press conference yesterday.
One reporter asked the crew whether they had experienced any shift in consciousness following their 10–day journey to the dark side of the lunar surface.
Wiseman confirmed he had, referencing a moment that occurred after the team were picked up by the US Navy following their splashdown in the Pacific Ocean.
‘I’m not really a religious person but there was no other avenue for me to explain anything or experience anything,’ he said.
‘So I asked for the chaplain on the Navy ship to just come visit us for a minute. When that man walked in – I’d never met him before in my life – but I saw the cross on his collar and I just broke down in tears.’
Wiseman said it’s ‘very hard to fully grasp what we just went through’ and in the week since the astronauts came back, they have not had time to process their experience.
‘It was other–worldly and it was amazing,’ he said.

The war against truth — Leonarda Jonie
__________
Buddhism and Christianity meet at junctures like this. Buddhism is 100% about truth or as close to it as we humans can get. All Buddhist philosophy and practice falls into three categories: 1) morality and ethics; 2) mindfulness and samadhi; 3) wisdom or clear thinking, truthful thinking. The West is very strong in many areas, but weak in mindfulness and samadhi. Mindfulness and samadhi are fundamentally the experiential part of Buddhism, the experience of truth. For a Buddhist, a Christian who experiences spiritual truth is having a real experience. The Buddha used the word nirvana to describe ultimate spiritual experience, but if you want to call it grace or God’s love or some other word, that’s fine. Doesn’t matter how you get there either. A good Christian is as good as a good Buddhist. Buddhism is a living tradition based on a very deep Buddhist tenet — if something is true it is good Buddhism whether a Buddha said it or not. If something is not true, it is not good Buddhism, even if a Buddha said it. Buddhism is a living tradition because, based on sound evidence and experience, Buddhist practice and philosophy can and do change as the world changes; as our vocabularies change, as experiences and truth endeavors change as new discoveries are made. On a personal note, I love these brave Christians. They do so much good. ABN

A quotation from Teddy Roosevelt
There were all kinds of things of which I was afraid at first, from grizzly bears to “mean” horses and gunfighters, but by acting as if I was not afraid, I gradually ceased to be afraid.

A quotation from Teddy Roosevelt
Let us therefore boldly face the life of strife, resolute to do our duty well and manfully; resolute to uphold righteousness by deed and by word; resolute to be both honest and brave, to serve high ideals, yet to use practical methods. Above all, let us shrink from no strife, moral or physical, within or without the nation, provided we are certain that the strife is justified, for it is only through strife, through hard and dangerous endeavor, that we shall ultimately win the goal of true national greatness.

Courage in the Unknown: Doing Hard Things While Afraid
There is a strange power in choosing to act while fear is present. Fear, after all, is a natural and unavoidable part of life. It signals risk, potential pain, and uncertainty, but it does not have to be a stop sign. One of the most profound realizations I have had in life is that the moments that shape us most often come not from certainty or careful planning, but from stepping into situations we cannot fully control, into challenges that loom large and intimidating, and doing so with our […] -
For it is the part of a wise man to resolve beforehand that whatever can happen to a man should be borne calmly if it should befall him. It needs altogether great judgment to provide against such evil happening and no less courage to bear it with fortitude if it should befall.

He that falls obstinate in his courage — Si succiderit, de genu pugnat — he who, for any danger of imminent death, abates nothing of his assurance; who, dying, yet darts at his enemy a fierce and disdainful look, is overcome not by us, but by fortune; he is killed, not conquered.
The most valiant are sometimes the most unfortunate.
There are defeats more triumphant than victories.
[Celuy qui tombe obstiné en son courage, si succiderit, de genu pugnat. Qui pour quelque danger de la mort voisine, ne relasche aucun point de son asseurance, qui regarde encores en rendant l’ame, son ennemy d’une veuë ferme & desdaigneuse, il est battu, non pas de nous, mais de la fortune: il est tué, non pas vaincu: les plus vaillans sont par fois les plus infortunez. Aussi y a-il des pertes triomphantes à l’envy des victoires.]Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592) French essayist

A man’s worth and reputation lie in the mind and in the will: his true honour is found there. Bravery does not consist in firm arms and legs but in firm minds and souls: it is not a matter of what our horse or our weapons are worth but of what we are.
[L’estimation & le prix d’un homme consiste au cœur & en la volonté: c’est là ou gist son vray honneur: la vaillance c’est la fermeté, non pas des jambes & des bras, mais du courage & de l’ame: elle ne consiste pas en la valeur de nostre cheval, ny de nos armes, mais en la nostre.]Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592) French essayist

CLÉANTE: There’s true and false in piety, as in bravery,
And just as those whose courage shines the most
In battle, are the least inclined to boast,
So those whose hearts are truly pure and lowly
Don’t make a flashy show of being holy.

Et, comme on ne voit pas qu’où l’honneur les conduit
