      <description>Seven top cyber
safety measures for business

One in five Australian
businesses suffered an electronic breach or cyber attack in 2012. Most report
an average of two attacks a year. Companies put their own ability to
effectively secure their organisation at 4.5 out of 10. Australia is now 21st
in the most attacked nations list, up from 24th.

Statistics on the lack
of business cyber security and increase in cyber attacks abound. It's no wonder
experts continue to warn that poor security practices can compromise company
finances and put commercial and customer information in the wrong hands.

According to Australia's Computer Emergency
Response Team (CERT) 2012 Cyber Crime and Security Survey
Report in February, 20 per cent of Australian businesses were the subject of
hacking or other cyber-attacks last year.

The most serious
involved the use of malicious software including ransomware and scareware,
which extort payments for the return of data; trojan or rootkit malware, which
lodge in the company's systems to steal information; theft or breach of
confidential information; and denial-of-service (DoS) attacks.

In Operation Lino,
Australia's biggest investigation into compromised credit cards, it was found
that a Romanian criminal syndicate gained access to 500,000 Australian credit
cards, and about 30,000 credit cards were used for fraudulent transactions
amounting to more than $30 million.

&quot;Businesses were
compromised, where full control of their computers gave full access to
point-of-sale terminals, which gave access to details of all credit
cards,&quot; says Brad Marden, Australian Federal Police acting manager for
cyber crime operations.

According to the
Symantec Internet Security Threat Report released Tuesday, AUstralia
experienced an increase inthe level of cybercrime in 2012 and is now ranked
21st in the most targeted nations by cyber criminals.

Peter Sparkes,
Symantec's director for managed security services, said Australia's enthusiasm
for technology was partly the reason.

&quot;As a nation of early
adopters with a strong economy which uses technology to remain competitive,
Australia is turning out to be an attractive target for cybercriminals,&quot;
Sparkes said in a statement.

A study of 485
Australian technology and security professionals by the Ponemon Institute for
Juniper Networks released this week as part of a global survey, found
respondents rated their own organisation's security effectiveness as 4.5 out of
10. They rated their organisation's ability to quickly detect and prevent cyber
attacks also as poor at 4.4 and 4.6, respectively.

The report said the
issues that keep most IT and IT security practitioners up at night are
&quot;the theft of their organisation's intellectual property, including
research and development, business strategies and industrial processes&quot;;
and the theft of &quot;confidential information used to obtain authentication
credentials to infiltrate networks and enterprise systems&quot;.

But Marden says 85 per
cent of cyber intrusions can be prevented, and recommends adopting some of the
Australian government's Defence Signals Directorate (DSD) strategies. Security
vendors also offer similar advice.

Here are some of the
basic tips:

      <description>In 2008 four black US Marines were arrested for the torture/murder of a white US Marine and his black wife. The couple was targeted because of racial hatred.

Both victims were tortured, raped, and killed. The perpetrators wrote racial charged slogans on the wall.

The district attorney was later accused of hiding the racial nature of the crime from the public.

The four suspects were witnessed holding a celebration immediately after the killings took place.

The sensational Carroll Foundation Trust and parallel Carroll Maryland Trust billion dollars offshore tax evasion fraud scandal which is now encircling 10 Downing Street and the Conservative Party has revealed that the new explosive FBI Scotland Yard prosecution files have named a startling litany of former main board directors of Balfour Beatty Plc. the international construction firm in this case of international importance.

Sources have confirmed that the dossiers contain criminal standard of proof material surrounding fraudulent Balfour Beatty contract finance agreements running into tens of millions of dollars that are directly linked to the fraudulent incorporation of twenty eight UK Companies House and State of Delaware &quot;registered&quot; Carroll Trust Corporations that are &quot;directly linked&quot; to forged and falsified Barclays HSBC International offshore accounts and Queen's bankers Coutts &amp;amp; Co Gerald Carroll Trust banking arrangements that effectively impulsed this massive tax fraud heist operation which stretches the globe over a staggering sixteen years.

A ICAEW Institute of Chartered Accountants England and Wales leaked source has disclosed that the PWC PricewaterhouseCoopers firm were the primary auditors to the Carroll Global Corporation industrial empire that embraced more than eighty five corporations world wide. It is understood that PWC were represented by respectively Peter Dickinson a main board director of &quot;realco&quot; Carroll Industries Corporation Plc. Christopher Relleen audit partner of the Carroll Global Corporation group of companies and Derek Jenkins a close advisor to various board members of the Carroll Foundation Charitable Trust.

In a stunning twist it has emerged that the files also contain a compelling forensic paper trail concerning the fraudulent incorporation of a dummy shell holding structure known as Carroll Holdings Corporation Ltd. (co.no.2566593) which was utilised within a multiple name switch operation to effectively provide a diversionary corporate smokescreen for the embezzlement of a mind boggling one hundred and fifty million dollars of the Carroll Foundation's huge treasury investment holdings that are believed to have been held at Coutts &amp;amp; Co and Barclays International.

The Carroll Foundation Maryland Trust case is known to be held within a complete &quot;lockdown&quot; at the FBI Washington DC field office and the Metropolitan Police Scotland Yard London under the supervision of the commissioner Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe who has an intimate knowledge of this great political scandal of the decade.

      <description>Estimates on the sexual assault rate inside Australia's prisons range from 2-14%. But the truth is, we don't really know, because most of our various state-based Corrective Services Departments don't ask. And even when they do, most prisoners are too scared to report it.

The majority of men sexually assaulted in prison are not powerful, violent criminals. They are young and vulnerable, like the man with cerebral palsy who tells Hungry Beast his story of being raped after going to prison for driving without a license.</description>

      <title>Police raid Ugandan newspaper office</title>
      <pubDate>Mon, 20 May 2013 18:38:14 -0400</pubDate>
      <link>http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=bf9_1369089325</link>

      <description>Police in Uganda have forcibly entered the offices of a semi-independent newspaper to search for evidence against an army general who questioned the president's alleged plan to have his son succeed him.

The Daily Monitor's political editor, Henry Ochieng, said about 50 plainclothes police entered the paper's premises in the capital, Kampala, on Monday.

&quot;There are lots of plainclothes individuals inside the premises. You can come in but you can't leave,&quot; he said.

Alex Asiimwe, the newspaper's managing director, said in a statement that the company was &quot;horrified by this act&quot;.

The raid comes amid a heated public debate about a letter sent by General David Sejusa to the Internal Security Organisation asking for a probe into reports that there were plans to assassinate officers opposed to President Yoweri Museveni's son succeeding him.

The Daily Monitor obtained and published Sejusa's letter, which has been dismissed by the army's top leadership as propaganda.

Three journalists from the newspaper have since resisted efforts by the police to have them submit their copy of the letter and to explain how they obtained it.

Sejusa, who is currently travelling in Europe, has since written another letter in local newspapers alleging the president had planted a man in his office to spy on him for three years.

Forced to tone down
There are lots of plainclothes individuals inside the premises. You can come in but you can't leave

Henry Ochieng, The Daily Monitor's political editor 


Police spokeswoman Judith Nabakooba said the police secured a warrant to search the newspaper's premises for Sejusa's letter.

&quot;The journalists had been told to give to the police a certain document but somehow they did not hand it in,'' she said.

Alex Atuhaire, the news editor with the paper, said the action was &quot;obviously related&quot; to Sejusa without giving further details.

He said police were treating the newsroom like &quot;a scene of crime&quot;.

Jackie Asiimwe, an activist with the women lawyers organisation, FIDA, told Al Jazeera from Kampala that police stood guard outside the newspaper premises.

&quot;They are searching the premises,&quot; she said, adding she and her colleagues were standing outside &quot;in solidarity&quot;.

Daily Monitor has been on a collision course with the government which has tried to rein in private media outlets determined to expose official wrong doing.

In 2002, the paper was shut down for nearly two weeks after it published a story saying that an army helicopter had come down in northern Uganda, where rebels of the Lord's resistance Army (LRA) were fighting the government.

Daily Monitor was reopened but after being forced to tone down its criticism of the government.

Under Museveni's government, the media has enjoyed some degree of freedom, but hard-hitting reporting about corruption has led to the prosecution and harassment of journalists.

Museveni seized power in 1986 after waging a five-year guerrilla campaign and changed the constitution in 2005 to remove term limits, effectively setting the stage for him to run for president indefinitely.

      <title>Teen expelled from school, charged with felony for lesbian relationship</title>

      <description>A Florida family says their 18-year-old daughter was charged with a felony and expelled from high school as a result of a consensual, same-sex relationship with another student.

Kaitlyn Hunt started dating a female classmate at the beginning of the school year when she was 17 and the girl she was dating was about three years younger. According to  an account posted to Facebook by Kaitlyn's mother , in February, shortly after Kaitlyn turned 18, she was arrested on felony charges at the behest of her girlfriend's parents. The specific crime was &quot;sexual battery on a person 12-16 years old.&quot;

Kaitlyn's mother believes the charges were motivated by anti-gay animus:

They were out to destroy my daughter, they feel like my daughter &quot;made&quot; their daughter gay. They are bigoted, religious zeolites   that see being gay as a sin and wrong, and they blame my daughter.

But Kaitlyn's problems did not end there. Her girlfriends's parents appealed to the school board and had her  expelled from Sebastian River High School . Kaitlyn's mom reports that the State Attorney, Brian Workman, has offered Kaitlyn a plea deal &quot;of  two years house arrest and one year probation .&quot; Kaitlyn has until next Friday to accept the plea deal or face a trial.

The family has  started a petition  calling on the state attorney to drop the charges against Kaitlyn.

      <title>Man Fined $1,000 for saving Boy's Life with Unregistered Handgun</title>
      <pubDate>Mon, 20 May 2013 15:27:59 -0400</pubDate>

      <description>Authorities last week made an agreement not to prosecute a Northwest D.C. man who used his unregistered handgun to kill a pit bull in order to stop it from mauling a child in his neighborhood to death.
 
As part of the agreement,  Benjamin Srigley , 39, was required to pay a $1,000 fine but will not have criminal charges filed against him for the three unregistered firearms and the ammunition that investigators found in his possession, said  Ted Gest , a spokesman for the office of the attorney general. 

&quot;We took it into account that he saved this boy's life,&quot;  Mr. Gest  said.
 
Possession of an unregistered firearm or ammunition in the District is punishable by up to a year in jail and a $1,000 fine, and prosecutors said  Mr. Srigley  could have faced up to seven criminal charges in the case.

&quot;In our recent memory this is a unique charge because of the unusual circumstances of this case,&quot; said  Mr. Gest , whose office generally prosecutes low-level crime in the District.

The horrific incident that spawned the investigation occurred on a Sunday afternoon in late January as 11-year-old  Jayeon Simon  and his friend rode bicycles near Eighth and Sheridan streets Northwest in the Brightwood neighborhood. According to court records filed in D.C. Superior Court, three unleashed pit bulls pounced on  Jayeon  and attacked him. 

Seeing the attack,  Mr. Srigley  went inside his home to get his Ruger 9mm pistol while several other men hopped over fences to get away from the dogs, court records state.

From behind the wooden fence of his front lawn,  Mr. Srigley  began firing at the dogs. His shots attracted the attention of a  Metropolitan Police Department  officer on bicycle patrol nearby, and he also opened fire on the dogs, killing the other two.

The boy survived the attack but now bears scars on his elbow, torso and leg as a reminder. 

 Jayeon 's family is thankful for  Mr. Srigley , crediting him for saving the boy's life.

&quot;I don't think he should be charged at all because it's an act of heroism,&quot; said  Chris Speight , 45, a cousin who helps care for  Jayeon .

In addition to deciding how to handle  Mr. Srigley 's case last week, authorities also made the decision to press charges against the dogs' owner,  Alan Paige . 

 Mr. Paige , who lives a block north of the corner where the attack occurred, will face nine criminal charges - including three counts of possession of a dangerous dog, three counts of having an unleashed dog, and three counts of allowing a dog to go without a collar. The charges account for each of the three dogs,  Mr. Gest  said. 

 Mr. Paige  could not be reached at his home Friday for comment. A hearing is scheduled in June for his case.

Answering the door at his home, a duplex with a stone facade and well-manicured yard,  Mr. Srigley  held his own dog back from his front door and declined Friday to comment on the case because it is still technically pending in court. The office of the attorney general is deferring prosecution, meaning it will remain active while  Mr. Srigley  meets conditions set by authorities.

In addition to paying a $1,000 fine, which was submitted in full Wednesday when the case when to court, the charges against  Mr. Srigley - who police noted has no criminal record - will be dropped on condition he is not charged with any other crimes in the next two months.

While investigating the case, police seized  Mr. Srigley 's pistol, which he said he purchased legally in Virginia when he lived there, and close to 100 rounds of ammunition from his home.  Mr. Srigley  told investigators that he owned two other guns - an antique M-1 rifle and a Mossburg 12-gauge shotgun - which were in a storage space in the District. 

Police also seized those guns, but authorities have agreed they will return the firearms to  Mr. Srigley  when he registers them in Maryland, where he plans to soon move.</description>

      <title>Cunnecticut Gun Owners: What Second Amendment?</title>

      <description>All this could have been prevented if they just passed a bill making it 
illegal to kill your mother and steal her firearms and take those 
firearms to a school and use them to shoot people, and have it 
retroactively come into effect last year.  Oh wait, all those things are
 already illegal...

Good to see that the senator's main concern is making sure he gets the funding.
They're using  the same anti-gun play book that was used here (Canada) in the late 80's early 90's.
Many gun laws are put in effect only to be taken to the Supreme Court, 
where the laws get shot down buy way of Fifth Amendment Rights. I'm sure
 this will be no different. Giving a U.S. citizen a prison term for 
having a firearm is a violation of F A Rights. I will be watching to see
 how this plays out.
						

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Connecticut gun law: Breakdown of when new rules go into effect
				
				
							HARTFORD - New gun controls in Connecticut may have set off 
discussions by some manufacturers over whether or not to leave the state
 and a myriad of questions from dealers, but for citizens interested in 
buying guns going forward, the best way to approach the new rules is to 
look at when they go into effect.

The revisions, adopted almost three months after lawmakers looked for 
consensus in working groups and their leaders took weeks to negotiate 
the terms, are touted as among the strongest in the nation. Connecticut 
also has begun to address improvements in mental health services and 
school security as part of the comprehensive law.

The bipartisan deal was the state's response to the slaughter of 20 
first-graders and six educators at Sandy Hook Elementary School in 
Newtown Dec. 14 by lone gunman Adam Lanza, who used a Bushmaster AR-15 
semiautomatic rifle to shoot 154 rounds in less than five minutes; the 
victims each were shot between 3 and 11 times.

Both sides were passionate in their positions on gun control, with 
opponents accusing lawmakers of going too far in regulating firearms and
 not far enough in addressing mental health services; proponents 
criticized the failure to ban possession of magazines over 10 rounds. 

Everyone agreed on the necessity of implementing known strategies to 
improve behavorial health and aligning insurance coverage, and some of 
that is part the new law. A continuing review of mental health access is
 ongoing, with a final report not due until the end of the year.

Adoption of the total package, however, with affirmative votes from both
 Republicans and Democrats, is being held up as a model for Washington 
to follow.

EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY

ASSAULT WEAPONS BAN: The state's ban on assault weapons, which covered 
66 weapons as adopted in 1993, has been increased by at least 100 more 
that now will meet the expanded definition of the military-style 
firearm, that the industry refers to as sporting rifles.

The sale of AR-15s since the tragedy at Newtown increased dramatically 
due to the anticipated rule changes and the fear that assault weapons 
currently owned would be confiscated.

Legal owners can keep them in their homes and their businesses and they 
can use them at the shooting range, but they can't be transported with 
magazines holding more than 10 rounds. 

Under the changes, no one has to give up their assault weapons purchased
 by April 3, but there are restrictions on where they can be used.

That means citizens who rushed out to continue to clear the shelves at 
firearm dealers of any of the banned firearms on the morning of April 4,
 before Gov. Dannel P. Malloy signed the bill at noon, are in possession
 of a banned weapon which is subject to a class D felony with a 
mandatory one-year minimum prison term.

The exemptions to the ban allow their sale and possession to the 
Department of Corrections, the Department of Emergency Services and 
Public Protection, police departments and state/national military or 
naval forces for use in their official duties.

LARGE CAPACITY MAGAZINE BAN: Magazines holding more than 10 rounds 
cannot be sold, purchased or imported into Connecticut as the state 
joins New York, New Jersey, Maryland, Colorado, California, Hawaii and 
Washington, D.C. in limiting their size and use.

To reach bipartisan agreement among the leaders, the law does not ban 
possession of magazines larger than 10 rounds, but, similar to the 
banned assault weapons, they can only be possessed in a owner's home or 
place of business and at a shooting range. When they are transported to 
and from a shooting range, they cannot be loaded with more than 10 
bullets.

The exemptions are the same as those for the banned assault weapons.

UNIVERSAL BACKGROUND CHECKS: The sale of all firearms, including the 
private sale or transfer of long guns (rifles and shotguns) requires the
 buyer to pass a national criminal background check. Up to now, the 
private sale of long guns was not regulated and 40 percent of firearms 
sales across the country did not require a background check.

The seller of long guns, in addition to the background check, has to 
document the transaction with the state Department of Emergency Services
 and Public Protection which must authorize the sale; the gun cannot be 
loaded when transferred.

AMMUNITION SALES: Sales of ammunition to anyone under the age of 18 are barred.

EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2013 

 LONG GUN ELIGIBILITY CERTIFICATE : The minimum age for a long gun 
eligibility certificate is 18, whereas the existing law sets a minimum 
age of 21 for a handgun. The eligibility certificate provisions are 
substantially the same as those for handgun eligibility certificates: 
 DESPP issues them ; the  fee is $35  and the certificate is good for five 
years; a background check is needed; applicants are ineligible after 
felony convictions, certain misdemeanors or certain mental health 
history.

MENTAL HEALTH AND ELIGIBILITY FOR GUN CREDENTIALS: Persons confined to a
 psychiatric hospital by a probate court order within the preceding 60 
months are ineligible for a gun permit or eligibility certificate. Under
 current law, it is within 12 months of the order

AMMUNITION CERTIFICATE: Anyone 18 years of age and older can request an 
ammunition certificate, which will require a national criminal history 
check. The  cost is $35  and it is in effect for five years. Applicants 
are ineligible if guilty of any felony, certain misdeamonors or 
involuntary psychiatric confinement. The certificate is not needed for 
those holding a permit to carry a pistol, which covers about 200,000 
individuals in Connecticut, a handgun eligibility certificate or a long 
gun certificate.

RISK REDUCTION EARNED CREDITS AND PAROLE FOR VIOLENT OFFENDERS: The law 
requires inmates convicted of violent crimes to continue to serve 85 
percent of their sentences before being eligible for parole, regardless 
of any credits they receive. As under current law, inmates convicted of 
any crimes except the following can earn credits: murder, capital 
felony, felony murder, arson murder, first-degree aggravated sexual 
assault and home invasion.

BOARD OF FIREARM PERMIT EXAMINERS MEMBERSHIP: The law increases the 
board membership from seven to nine, by adding one retired Superior 
Court judge, appointed by the chief court administrator, and a 
Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services nominee, appointed by
 the governor. The law also allows the board to grant one continuance, 
for good cause, to an official whose action on a gun permit or gun 
eligibility certificate is being appealed.

 APPROPRIATION: The law appropriates $1 million to DESPP to fund the statewide firearms trafficking force.  (Can you say MRAP?)

EFFECTIVE OCT. 1, 2013

MENTAL HEALTH AND GUN PERMITS ELIGIBILITY: The bill makes ineligible any
 person who voluntarily admitted himself or herself to a psychiatric 
hospital, on or after Oct. 1, 2013. A person who has been so admitted 
will not be able to receive a permit or eligibility certificate for 6 
months thereafter, nor will they be eligible to possess any firearm for 
those six months following their release from the hospital.

You are not ineligible if your admission is solely for drug or alcohol treatment.

The Department Mental Health and Addiction Services will be responsible 
for maintaining information on voluntary admissions and make that 
information available to the Department of Emergency Services and Public
 Protection to carry out the new provisions on obtaining gun 
credentials. DMHAS must start to maintain identifying information on 
these individuals as of July 1, 2013. 

ARMOR PIERCING AMMUNITION BANNED: The bill expands the definition of 
what constitutes banned armor piercing bullets beyond .50 caliber, which
 have already been banned.

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE INVESTIGATIONS: The bill allows police to seize 
ammunition, under the same circumstances as they can seize guns, when 
investigating domestic violence crimes.

INCREASED CRIMINAL PENALTIES FOR GUN TRAFFICKING AND OTHER GUN-RELATED 
OFFENSES: Sixteen specific firearm related crimes have increased felony 
penalities and mandatory minimum sentences usually moving from one 
felony category to at lease one higher punishment level.

SAFE STORAGE REQUIREMENTS: Owners must secure firearms if they know that
 a resident on the premises is ineligible to possess firearms under 
state or federal law or poses a risk of imminent personal injury to 
himself, herself or others. The current ban applied to keeping the 
firearms away from anyone who is under age 16. As under current law, a 
gun owner is strictly liable for damages if an ineligible or at-risk 
person gains access to an inappropriately stored weapon and uses it to 
injure himself or someone else.

 GUN PERMIT APPLICATION : The law requires those applying for a gun permit
 to be a permanent resident of the town to which he or she applies, not 
where they have a business. The usual process is two-part, with a local 
official or police chief issuing a temporary state permit with other 
aspects conducted by state police who issue the five-year state permit 
if all requirements are met.

 The new law prohibits anyone from applying for a temporary permit more than once in a 12-month period. 

EFFECTIVE JAN. 1, 2014

DANGEROUS WEAPON OFFENDER REGISTRY: Individuals must register with the 
Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection for a period of 
five years after they have served their sentences for any of more than 
40 weapons offenses or another felony that the court makes a finding 
involved the use or threatened use of a deadly weapon.

They must keep their registration address current at all times and check
 in once a year with local law enforcement. This is the first statewide 
weapon offender registry and was requested by urban mayors and the 
Police Chiefs Association. It will only be available to law enforcement.

 REGISTER LARGE CAPACITY MAGAZINES :  Anyone who lawfully possesses  a 
magazine with more than 10 rounds as of April 3, 2013,  must register  
them with the state by January 1, 2014. Orders of such magazines made 
before April 3, 2013, but delivered after that, still are legal but must
 be registered.

 REGISTER BANNED ASSAULT WEAPONS : Anyone who legally owned a now-banned 
assault weapon by April 3, 2013, must apply for a certificate of 
possession by Jan. 1, 2014.

ADDITIONAL INFO

Michael Lawlor, Malloy's chief liaison on criminal matters, said the 
Department of Emergency Service and Public Protection will need more 
staff and  the governor is committed to funding this . He said the 
regulations and forms necessary for the new registration of assault 
weapons and large-capacity magazines and other requirements should be in
 place by August 1.

A  permit to carry for handguns now takes several months  and that is 
expected to continue. Additional personnel for much of the eligibility 
processing will not need to be state police.

While there was an increase in processing gun sales since the tragedy in
 Newtown, the reduced number of weapons Connecticut residents are now 
allowed to buy will ease that bureaucratic impact.

State Rep. Steve Dargan, D-West Haven, said  his main concern is to make sure that the necessary funding is in place. 

The estimated cost of improving mental health services and school 
security, in addition to the firearms changes, is $18.5 million though 
fiscal 2015, according to the Office of Fiscal Analysis. For the 
tightened of gun restrictions and new permitting the high end estimate 
through early 2015 is $6.395 million. (They said the Canadian gun registry would take about 2 million and be self funded after that... Over 2 billion later..)

The breakdown of costs to the Department of Emergency Services and 
Public Protection is between $200,000 and $300,000 in fiscal 2013; $2. 2
 million to $3.2 million in fiscal 2014; and $695,000 beginning in 
fiscal 2015, related to safety and security audits, enhanced background 
check and permitting requirements, and developing and maintaining a new 
registry of persons convicted of committing a crime with a deadly 
weapon.

The Newtown shootings were the impetus for new gun laws across the 
country and a nationwide discussion, some of which resulted in tighter 
rules in eight states. But 10 states passed more than a dozen laws that 
made them weaker, according to the Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence, a
 reflection of how the issue continues to be one of the most divisive in
 the country.

 President Barack Obama will be at the University of Hartford Monday to continue to lobby for stricter federal gun laws. 

But reinstating an assault weapons ban or limiting magazines is not 
expected to happen on the national level, and there continues to be 
pushback to universal background checks, despite the renewed effort for 
more gun regulations in light of Newtown

      <description>
Two suspects committed a home invasion robbery around 2:30 Saturday morning. It happened on the 800 block of Dodderer in the city of Firebaugh. One of the suspects was armed with an axe, and the other was armed with a handgun. The resident of the home armed himself with a sword and killed one of the suspects.

The incident occurred in the city of Firebaugh, and Firebaugh PD requested assistance from Fresno County Sheriff's Detectives. The Sheriff's Office has taken over the investigation at this time.

The deceased suspect has been identified as 34-year-old Aaron Baeza of Firebaugh. The second suspect has been identified as 30-year-old Christopher Rupe. Rupe is still outstanding at this time, and is to be considered armed and dangerous. Rupe may be in the company of an unidentified white female adult, and may be driving a dark green Ford F150 pickup (CA License 6T04402).


Anybody with information regarding this crime or the location of Christopher Rupe is asked to telephone the Fresno County Sheriff's Office at 559-600-3111

      <title>Cops Beat Man Who Begged For His Life To Death, Then Seize Video Evidence Of The &lt;span class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;Crime&lt;/span&gt;</title>

      <description>The 19-year-old jumped from his living room sofa and hurried to the 
kitchen door, which offered a view of the violent scene outside - Kern 
County sheriff's deputies repeatedly striking a man in the head with 
batons as he lay on the pavement.

&quot;I saw two sheriff's deputies 
on top of this guy, just beating him,&quot; Ceballos said in an interview 
Monday. &quot;He was screaming in pain ... asking for help. He was incapable 
of fighting back - he was outnumbered, on the ground. They just beat him
 up.&quot;

The man was David Sal Silva, 33, a father of four, and he 
was pronounced dead less than an hour later. The altercation last week 
was videotaped by witnesses and has roiled the Central Valley city for 
days.

One woman frantically called 911, telling the operator: 
&quot;The guy was laying on the floor and eight sheriffs ran up and started 
beating him up with sticks. The man is dead laying right here, right 
now. I got it all on video camera and I'm sending it to the news. These 
cops have no reason to do this to this man.&quot;

In an unusual move, 
sheriff's officials later detained for several hours two witnesses who 
had videotaped the incident on their phones. They were released only 
after they surrendered their phones to deputies.

&quot;It makes it 
look like a coverup,&quot; said David Cohn, a lawyer for Silva's children and
 parents, adding that he has not been able to see the footage. &quot;What 
we're all concerned about is, 'Are these videos going to be altered? Are
 they going to be deleted?' &quot;

Kern County Sheriff Donny 
Youngblood said in an interview Monday that it was too early in the 
investigation to reach any conclusions about Silva's death. But he 
defended the decision to take custody of the phones as a way of 
preserving possible evidence. The sheriff said his office obtained a 
search warrant for the phones.

&quot;We still have to secure the 
evidence, especially when the evidence can tell us whether we did it 
right or wrong,&quot; Youngblood said.

He said his agency, to remove 
the appearance of any conflict, has asked the Bakersfield Police 
Department to analyze the phone videos.

KERO-TV Channel 23 in 
Bakersfield broadcast a security camera video from the scene showing 
grainy images of figures pummeling someone on the ground, with about 20 
swings of what appear to be batons or sticks. It's difficult to see 
Silva in the seven-minute video or how many of those swings connected.</description>
