'Austin Powers' actor faces life in prison over abduction, torture, rape of 20-year-old

Hope he gets raped in prison...wait, no I hope they send him to Washington State and give him a feminist judge.

Joseph Hyungmin Son, 40, who played Dr. Evil's sidekick "Random Task" in the first "Austin Powers" movie, was convicted of torture last week in connection with the 1990 abduction and gang rape of a 20-year-old California woman. The Orange County woman was walking her dog on Christmas Eve and looking at holiday lights in the neighborhood when she was snatched off the street and attacked, KTLA reported. Son was accused along with one other suspect of holding the victim at gun point and raping her numerous times as well as sexually assaulting her with the weapon. The victim's lawyer claimed the assailants then released the woman naked with her pants tied around her eyes. Son wasn't arrested in connection with the crime until 18 years after the incident. In 2008, after violating probation on vandalism charge, he was charged with numerous counts of assault when his DNA was found to match a sample from the victim. Many of those charges were ultimately dropped due to the amount of time that had elapsed since the alleged incident, KTLA reported. Son is slated to be sentenced on September 19, and faces 15 years to life in prison.

Terror Attack in Tel-Aviv, At Least 7 Wounded, Attacker Caught

This on Going War: the end of the Islamic religious period of Ramadan this week is predictably a time when Islamists execute just this kind of vicious attack.

(To those who don't speak MEDIA JIVE... "Islamists" is what Al Jazeera and sadly the rest of the media calls a Muslim who kills... because the Muslims that don't kill non Muslims don't want to be called ignorant of their own religion.)

An Arab man driving a stole taxi smashed into a crowd of people outside of the Haoman 17 nightclub in south Tel Aviv. The suspect ran over two people, then exited the vehicle and began stabbing others, police said. The incident took place on Tel Aviv's Abarbanel Street. .The suspect was captured by a team of Border Police officers on the scene. He was taken to the Wolfson Medical Center with light injuries. Large numbers of police are on the scene.
Police said the taxi used to ram victims had been stolen earlier.
"This looks like a terror attack," a police source told The Jerusalem Post.
Of the injured, one was stabbed in head and stomach and is in grave condition; others moderately/lightly wounded. One of the wounded is in "unstable" condition.
There was a party taking place at the nightclub at the time of the incident.

The party at the nightclub was to celebrate the end of summer, many youth were reportedly present.
There were warnings that an attack may occur, but nothing concrete.
After taxicab was stolen, a report was issued, then the attacker went through a checkpoint and police realized they had serious incident. However, they believe mass casualty event has been prevented.
Israeli Police believe that over 1,000 youth were at the party. According to Haaretz around 2,000 youth were present.
A = Nablus, B = Haoman Night Club
It appears that the two people who were run over were police officers.
Israeli Police have confirmed this was a terrorist attack carried out by 25 year old Palestinian Arab from Nablus.
Five of the wounded are police officers.
Israel Radio is now reporting that the attack was planned around the youth party at the nightclub.
Israel's Police Chief says that his forces were preparing for an attack like this. They believed attack would occur near end of Ramadan. There has been increased deployment in recent days.
In order to avoid panicking those at the party, the DJ was instructed to continue playing music for about an hour, until the scene outside the club was calmer. Once everything settled down outside, the youth were evacuated from the club.
The Haaretz report now includes this:
Benny Shai, one of the club's employees who was outside the club at the time of the attack said, "We saw the taxi run into the barrier and we ran to help. We thought it was an accident." He added that the event taking place in the nightclub "was a big party and I don't want to know what would have happened if the terrorist had managed to enter or even get close to the entrance of the club and carry out his attack there."

Aga Can: All traces of Perry/Aga Khan curriculum removed from web

I understand there are some people who have differences with Spencer and Geller. I don't care about your issues with them if them if you can not prove anything. I don't want to see a Bush third term. I never want to see a U.S. president call Islam a "religion of peace" again. What was the end result we got from Bush? ...Obama. The Republicans do not have to cater to a violent philosophy to get elected. I do not care about any rumors or speculation you have concerning Geller and Spencer. If you have a personal issue then I suggest you take it up with them and not use third parties to create divisions. I am not a member of any pitchfork mob. I did not jump on the Sarah Palin bus and there is no reason to assume that I follow SIOA blindly, but there is no doubt in my mind that there is a whitewash. These are the primaries. To question Perry does not mean a person endorses Obama. It will be very hard (in fact) to put Obama's actions into question if the Norquist / Perry relationship is as tight as what is being alleged.

What is the Perry camp hiding? And why?

By Robert Spencer:
In this post I included numerous links to the Rick Perry/Aga Khan Islamic curriculum for Texas public schools. The links were to the Google cache of the curriculum material, because several days ago, after we began calling attention to it, the curriculum was taken offline. Accordingly I wrote in that post:

One very odd thing about the Aga Khan/Perry curriculum: since this whole brouhaha started, it has been taken offline. It is now available only in cached formhere. Why was it taken down? Was the Perry camp embarrassed by the material that Pamela Geller published here, showing it to be a whitewash of Islamic teaching and history? Or was it taken down because it really is, as Ace says, so “biased against Muslims it will reinforce perceptions [Perry] is some kind of rootin’-tootin’ six-gun shooting cowboy yahoo”?Is either option favorable to Perry? If it was taken down because it’s a dhimmi whitewash, Perry is tacitly admitting that our criticisms of him were right, and those evaluating Perry should be concerned about his naivete in dealing with the Aga Khan. If it was taken down because it was too honest about Islam and will thus hurt Perry with the dhimmi/Norquist faction of the GOP, Perry is again tacitly admitting that our criticisms of him were right: he is not able or willing to stand up to Norquist and his Islamic supremacist allies. So which is it? What are they hiding? And does it matter? Either way, the deep-sixing of the curriculum proves that we were right about Perry all along.

Now that impression is compounded by the fact that even the cached links no longer work: the Perry/Aga Khan curriculum has been completely wiped from the web. Pamela Geller has screenshots here, however. I suspect that the curriculum has been taken down because it is a whitewash of Islamic texts, teachings and history. After all, as I showed here, it relies on compromised “authorities” such as Carl Ernst, John Esposito, and Michael Sells, among others. The apologists for Perry have not explained and cannot explain why, if this curriculum is as innocuous or even as Islamorealistic as they claim, it has been wiped from the web.
