Who is Robert Bowers: Alleged antisemite on trial for Tree of Life synagogue shooting
Who is Robert Bowers: Alleged antisemite on trial for Tree of Life synagogue shooting
On 27, October, 2018, Robert Bowers, then 46, allegedly walked into the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and began shooting at worshippers. He allegedly killed 11 people before he was shot and wounded and surrendered to police. Mr Bowers now faces 63 federal counts, including 11 counts each of obstruction of free exercise of religion resulting in death as well as hate crimes resulting in death. He could face the death penalty if convicted. He has pleaded not guilty. Nearly five years have passed since the shooting, but Mr Bowers' trial is only now kicking off in earnest. The trial began on Tuesday and is expected to last until late July. In the months leading up the shooting, Mr Bowers was allegedly spewing bigoted and antisemitic vitriol online, investigators say. He allegedly called immigrants "invaders" and posted racist memes, including some that accused Jewish people of being the "enemy of white people." On the day of the shooting he reportedly posted a message to a web forum, saying "I can't stand by and watch my people get slaughtered. Screw your optics, I'm going in." He then allegedly proceeded to murder 11 people at the synagogue. After his arrest, police learned that Mr Bowers had 21 weapons registered to his name. He was otherwise unknown to law enforcement. They then began to review Mr Bowers' online presence, finding an account on Gab — a supposedly free speech oriented, right wing social media alternative to the likes of Twitter — where he allegedly posted a steady slew of hate. His bio included the phrase "Jews are the children of Satan" and his posts consisted of anti-Jewish slurs and conspiracy theories, according to the New York Times. The conspiracy theories included allegations that Jewish people were smuggling Muslims into the US, and another showing an image of the Auschwitz concentration camp, with the photo doctored to make its infamous gate read "Lies Make Money." Days before the shooting he called then-president Donald Trump a "globalist" — often a term carrying antisemitic implications — and said "there is no #MAGA as long as there is a k*** infestation." The omitted word is a racial slur used against Jewish people. Police claim that after being shot and wounded at the synagogue, Mr Bowers said: “These people are committing genocide on my people. I just want to kill Jews.” His defence attempted to have that quotation barred from consideration at his trial, arguing he made the statement before he was read his Miranda warning. A judge denied the motion. The alleged gunman worked as a trucker before the shooting. Prosecutors are arguing that hate drove Mr Bowers' alleged attack on the synagogue. “The depths of the defendant’s malice and hate can only be proven in the broken bodies” of those killed, and through “his hateful words,” Assistant US Attorney Soo C Song said during her opening statement. Prosecutors claimed in an earlier filing that Mr Bowers allegedly “harbored deep, murderous animosity towards all Jewish people.” The defence — after unsuccessfully arguing against the use of Mr Bowers' statements to police and for a change of venue — have filed a notice of mental infirmity again his potential sentencing, according to court records. They claim Mr Bowers has been diagnosed with schizophrenia and epilepsy. His attorneys have also offered a plea deal in exchange for the removal of the death penalty.

Chrissy Teigen discovers unknown 'identical twin'
Chrissy Teigen discovers unknown 'identical twin'
Chrissy Teigen has left fans riveted after explaining the shocking discovery of an unknown “identical twin”. In a video shared to Instagram, the model and entrepreneur said she'd had an “insane 24 hours” after attempting to find out more about her past and family history. Teigen explained that her doctor and therapist supported her doing a 23andMe test that might help reveal more about her health. She continued: “I paid for some of the upgrades and the first thing that came up, after I found out that I was part Neanderthal, was this – I have an identical twin.” The discovery that she had a twin with a “100 per cent” DNA match left Tiegen “spiralling” and scrambling for answers. She explained that she messaged the identical twin via the website, spoke to 23andMe’s customer service robot, and messaged her dad to find out if she really had a twin she knew nothing about. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Her father confirmed there was just one baby that came out, but when she called her sister, she said her deep gasp had her believing she does have a long-lost twin. Teigen said: “At this point, I’m making excuses for my whole life. I’m like, this is why I’m so co-dependent because my twin was ripped away from me.” Eventually, though, the mystery was solved with the help of Tiegen’s sister’s good memory. “My sister was like, ‘Chrissy, no remember when you were supposed to do that show [about] finding your roots and so they had us all take DNA tests and they put it under secret names so the world couldn’t tell’.” She explained that the show never aired and she had forgotten all about taking the test, but realised she had simply matched with herself. “My identical twin was myself. I was matching myself,” Teigen revealed. One fan commented: “LOL I was on the EDGGGGEEE of my seat this entire story.” Another wrote: “Lol omg what a journey.” Have your say in our news democracy.

Argentina's new far-right president has become an instant meme
Argentina's new far-right president has become an instant meme
Argentina has a new far-right president, and it was just a matter of hours before he became the internet’s new favourite meme. The populist leader Javier Milei is often compared to Donald Trump and Brazil’s Jair Bolsonaro. He takes over from the centre-left economy minister Sergio Massa having received 55.7 per cent of the vote on Sunday. Milei is a self-described anarcho-capitalist and has made a lot of controversial pledges already, stating his intention to close the Argentinian central bank. However, at least from an outside perspective, it’s not his policies that are catching the eye of social media users. Instead, it's his incredibly hyper stage presence, with a penchant for calling people "s*** leftards". Others pointed to his appearance, comparing him to a character from 90s comedy series The Fast Show or a contestant on Bullseye. Another joked: "Argentina’s new president is the Welshest-looking man I’ve ever seen. He looks like he’s been chairman of the local rugby club for decades & is known to down a pint in less than 5 seconds while simultaneously smoking a fag." Safe to say, he's caused a bit of a stir on social media since the result was announced over the last few days. "Argentina's situation is critical," Milei said after the result. "The changes our country needs are drastic. There is no room for gradualism, no room for lukewarm measures."
