Bull Runs Wild To Stage Extra Rodeo Thriller

Police Shoot Animal After Chase; Pair of Performers Hurt

Rodeo activities overflowed the Orange Bowl stadium, where they began a seven-day run Sunday and caused a neighborhood uproar as a Brahma bull charged through yards and streets before five bullets from a policeman’s pistol killed it.

And that wasn’t the only excitement of the day. An employe went to a hospital with burns and a Wild West rider preceded him there with a broken leg, suffered when his horse fell on him.

The bull provided the most excitement. He was one of three that broke out of a pen. Riders soon rounded up two, but the third, a big, adventurous and somewhat bewildered creature, raced into the parking lot adjacent to the stadium, then through a dozen back yards.
Crowd In Pursuit

He started across the Twelfth avenue bridge with men on horseback, boys on bicycles, policemen on motorcycles and men and women afoot hurrying behind. In

Crowd In Pursuit He started across the Twelfth avenue bridge with men on horseback, boys on bicycles, policemen on motorcycles and men and women afoot hurrying behind. In

the middle of the bridge the unhappy animal turned and scattered the crowd.

Patrolman George Lovett commandeered a car, drew alongside the bull, which by then was charging at automobiles and bicycles, and fired two shots into its neck. The animal ran into a yard with the officer, now afoot, in pursuit. Infuriated, the humped creature spun on its antagonist and caused Lovett to take refuge behind a tree. Three more bullets zinged into its body.

Rodeo riders got lassoes on the creature several times but he broke them. He damaged three police motorcycles and several bicycles, then, bleeding from his wounds, galloped back over his tracks and re-entered the stadium with nine policemen and cowboys in hot pursuit.
Fire Dive

Back in the arena, the animal leaned against a fence, lowing with pain, slipped to the ground and paid with his life for his hour of furious freedom.

Leo Burke, a youngster from Kansas City, threw a can of inflammable oily substance into a water tank into which Ella Carver dived from a platform 90 feet high. Somehow, the oil broke into flames too soon and Burke suffered second degree burns of the right arm. Victoria hospital reported him in fair condition.

Trump demeaning and humiliating another female journalist and the company she works for in the Oval Office today. No one asks him why he abuses women or points out that he's a despicable person and another journalist immediately asks another question.

This is unreal. An AUSA talking like that in open court is about as close as you can come to a total breakdown. Never heard of anything like it.

Freedom with a side of guilt: How food delivery is reshaping mealtime The new delivery economy is transforming the way Americans live — reshaping budgets, mealtimes and social habits.

I read this story about how people budget $700 a week for food delivery or spend $15 for a piece of chocolate lava cake to be delivered and I seriously wonder if there is any hope for the human race.

I mean, how did Americans ever survive before DoorDash and UberEats? It's a huge mystery.

Dear media, stop acting like Trump means what he says Whether over "a deal" on Greenland or a "pivot" on ICE, we need far more skepticism

"The news media doesn’t seem to know how to bring anything other than wide-eyed credulity to [Trump's] utterances, even after all the lies and deceit of the past decade," writes @sulliview.bsky.social.

Outlets must start making Trump's lying as much a part of the story as the things he lies about.

One thing that’s so disgraceful about the present moment is that we don’t face some kind of world-historical or formidable foe of the sort Lincoln imagined. We have been unable to defeat the designs of a second-rate demagogue and grifter, aided by third-rate bigots and authoritarians, and surrounded by fourth-rate opportunists and conspiracists.

Pentagon warns Scouts to restore ‘core values’ or lose military support The relationship dates back decades, but Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has criticized the organization for allowing girls to join and changing its name from Boy Scouts.

Shorter Trump administration: let's attack and bully the Boy Scouts!

Wouldn't surprise me at all at this point if MAGA targeted "Mom and apple pie," baseball and backyard barbecues.

They say they love America but it's long past time they start to show it.

Homeland Security is targeting Americans with this secretive legal weapon Under Trump, the Department of Homeland Security has weaponized administrative subpoenas to attack free speech, according to privacy and civil rights groups.

67yo retiree writes an innocuous email to a DHS attorney asking he show mercy for an asylum seeker that results in his Gmail account being subpoenaed by the federal government and a visit by DHS agents.

As it so often the case, the problem with the Trump administration is not the what but the how. They falsely accuse critics of objecting to the former, when they horror is the latter. Of course, the administration can enforce immigration laws. But it cannot do so in violation of the constitution.
