Central Park Zoo Sea Lion Escapes Zoo Exhibit ... After NYC Flooding

092923_sealion-kal
FREEDOM!!!

A sea lion at the Central Park Zoo made a great escape amid all the flooding in New York City ... swimming out of its enclosure thanks to rising waters.

Video shows the sea lion on the other side of the exhibit, swimming around in brown water ... which was high enough for the animal to get out of the pool.

There are two other sea lions happily swimming around the enclosure, but one was able to make it over the fence ... with the marine mammal is chilling in a spot normally reserved for humans, at least when it's not underwater.

For reference, here's how the sea lion exhibit usually looks ... as you can see, the pool isn't that big, and the escaped sea lion is pretty close to a tent that leads to another area of the zoo.

The sea lion didn't escape the zoo completely ... but she did get out of their habitat, and she's obviously pretty curious about what lies beyond her little pool.

As you know ... heavy rain is pounding the Big Apple and there's extreme flooding throughout the city.

The Central Park Zoo was closed to the public Friday as a result of the severe weather conditions, and the sea lions seem to be making the most of a rainy day.

This ain't "Free Willy" though ... the zoo says flood waters are going down and the sea lions are back in their enclosure.

Infowars' Alex Jones Choked Unconscious By Jiu-Jitsu Champ ... Snores On Podcast 💤

092823_craigjonesbjj-kal
CHOKED OUT

Strange time for a nap ... Alex Jones literally went to sleep while appearing as a guest on Craig Jones' (no relation!) show on Thursday after the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu champ sent the controversial host to La La Land with a super tight rear-naked choke! 😴

49-year-old Jones' was appearing on Craig's "El Segundo Podcast" when the IBJJF world champ got to live out the real-life fantasy of many of Alex's opponents, literally putting the Infowars host to sleep square in his chair on set.

It's unclear what led up to the submission (Alex was clearly down with it) ... and given Craig's one of the best in the world when it comes to strangling people (he coaches Alex Volkanovski and Israel Adesanya), it didn't take him long.

Craig posted video of the incident ... and had some fun with the caption, writing, "The CIA sent me but I couldn’t do my dad like that"

Again, no father-son relation here.

The clip starts with the choke already in deep. After about 8 seconds of pressure, Jones' eyes rolled back, and he was out cold.

Almost 10 seconds later, Alex finally wakes up ... but clearly had no idea what the hell just happened -- common among people who have been choked out.

"What? What'd I just do?" Alex asked, looking around.

Presumably, Craig will drop more videos with Alex when the pod episode debuts.

Of course, if you're a fight fan, you've undoubtedly seen a ton of them done during MMA fights. The choke, which restricts blood to the carotid artery, is one of the very first moves taught in Jiu-Jitsu.

Una niña de 3 años se disparó con una pistola en una casa en Florida. El horrible incidente fue grabado en vídeo.

La niña, llamada Serenity, estaba jugando en el salón de la casa de su abuela en Miami el pasado sábado cuando saltó al sofá cerca del arma de fuego cargada.

Échale un vistazo a este material recién publicado que muestra Serenity agarrando la pistola con la mano y mirando a un pariente, Orlando Young, que está preocupado viendo un partido de fútbol.

De repente, el arma se dispara y Serenity recibe un impacto en el brazo, gritando de dolor.

Young levanta la vista, totalmente aturdido y corre hacia Serenity para comprobar su herida y prestarle ayuda. Otras personas entran en la habitación mientras se desata el caos.

Young indica a otra persona que traiga un cinturón para envolver la herida de bala y detener la hemorragia. A continuación, escolta a Serenity fuera de la sala de estar, pero pronto regresa para recuperar su arma del sofá antes de que el vídeo se corte.

Serenity fue finalmente trasladada a un hospital donde fue operada. Fue dada de alta el martes y ahora se recupera en casa.

En cuanto a Young, fue detenido por dejar su arma de fuego sin vigilancia en la casa. La fiscalía le acusó de un delito de negligencia infantil con lesiones graves.

COMPLETELY UNSUPERVISED

A 3-year-old girl shot herself with an unattended gun in a Florida home, and the horrific incident was caught on video.

Check out this newly released footage ... which shows Serenity grabbing the pistol with her hand and peering over at a relative, Orlando Young, who is preoccupied watching a football game on his laptop.

Suddenly, the gun discharges and Serenity is hit in her arm, crying out in pain.

Young looks up, totally stunned, and rushes over to Serenity to check out her injury and give her assistance. Other people dash into the room as total chaos ensues.

Young directs another person to get a belt to wrap around the bullet wound to stop the bleeding. He then escorts Serenity out of the living room, but soon returns to retrieve his gun from the couch before the video cuts off.

Serenity was eventually taken to a hospital, where she underwent surgery. She was released Tuesday and is now recovering at home.

As for Young, he was arrested for leaving his firearm unattended in the house. Prosecutors charged him with felony child neglect with great bodily harm.

Como informamos, el video muestra a Andrew tocando una canción de Billy Joel en la calle en Atenas, Georgia, cuando una mujer grosera se acerca y bota su piano al suelo. Andrew también la acusó de robarse su tarro de propinas, y eventualmente ella se disculpó después de recibir toneladas de reacciones en su contra.

Charlie dice que realmente no puede organizar un encuentro entre Andrew y Billy, quien aparentemente no tiene teléfono celular, pero dice que le encantaría que Andrew viniera a uno de sus shows la próxima vez que esté en EE.UU..

Andrew le dice a TMZ que desde que el video se hizo viral, toneladas de personas se ofrecieron a donar dinero para un nuevo piano. Él puso su Venmo en las redes sociales y consiguió $2,000 en solo dos días, suma que destinará para un nuevo teclado y soporte.

Así que parece que esta historia sí tiene un final feliz para el hombre del piano.

Dramatic Police Video Two Teens Steal SUV ... Arrested After High-Speed Chase

092723_car_chase_kal
ENDING THE JOYRIDE

Two teens stole an SUV and went for a joyride in Florida, but they got into a wild, high-speed police chase and ended up under arrest.

Sunday's dramatic pursuit was captured on aerial footage from a police helicopter as marked vehicles followed the juveniles in a red Toyota along the Tampa freeways, going at dangerous speeds. Earlier that day, the suspects had stolen the vehicle, which was left unlocked with the engine running in a driveway.

In the footage, the helicopter cop talks over the radio with another officer, confirming the color of the SUV and that it's traveling in the left lane.

The video then jumps to another highway, where police cruisers surround the Toyota and try to corral it.

But, the SUV drives off the road and onto a grassy embankment, managing to escape, though it's only for the moment.

While continuing its pursuit, one cop car performs an approved police maneuver called PIT, plowing into the Toyota, which spins around and comes to a stop on the thoroughfare.  (PIT stands for precision immobilization technique, which is used as a tool to end police chases.)

Deputies exit their vehicles and point their guns at the teens, ordering them out of the SUV.

The Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office said they arrested the 15-year-old driver who was charged with aggravated battery on law enforcement deadly weapon, grand theft motor vehicle and fleeing to elude high speed. The 14-year-old passenger was charged with grand theft auto.

No one was injured.

ViDEO POLICIAL ADOLESCENTES ROBAN UN TODOTERRENO Detenidos tras persecución a gran velocidad

terminando el paseo

Dos adolescentes robaron un todoterreno y fueron a dar una vuelta por Florida, pero se vieron envueltos en una persecución policial y acabaron detenidos.

La dramática persecución del domingo fue captada en imágenes aéreas desde un helicóptero de la policía mientras vehículos señalizados seguían a los menores en un Toyota rojo por las autopistas de Tampa a velocidades peligrosas. Los sospechosos habían robado el vehículo ese mismo día. Lo dejaron abierto con el motor en marcha en una entrada.

En las imágenes, el helicóptero policial se comunica por radio con otro oficial, confirmando el color del carro que está viajando en el carril izquierdo.

El video salta entonces a otra carretera, donde patrullas de policía rodean el Toyota y tratan de acorralarlo.

Pero el sospechoso se sale de la carretera y llega a un terraplén cubierto de hierba logrando escapar, aunque sólo por un momento.

Mientras continúa la persecución, un carro de policía realiza una maniobra policial aprobada llamada PIT, arrollando al Toyota que gira y se detiene en la vía pública.  (PIT son las siglas en inglés de técnica de inmovilización de precisión, que se utiliza como herramienta para poner fin a las persecuciones policiales).

Los agentes salen de sus vehículos y apuntan con sus armas a los adolescentes, ordenándoles que salgan del todoterreno.

La Oficina del Sheriff del Condado de Hillsborough dijo que detuvieron al conductor de 15 años de edad, quien fue acusado de agresión con agravantes en aplicación de la ley arma mortal, robo de vehículo de motor y huir a alta velocidad. El pasajero de 14 años de edad fue acusado por el robo del carro.

No hubo heridos.

Beyoncé Fan Smacked For Making Noise At Concert ... Obey the 'Mute Challenge!!'

092623_beyonce_mute_man_kal
BAD ENERGY

When Beyoncé says, "Everybody on mute," you better keep quiet ... or else ya might end up like this concertgoer who got whacked for ruining the viral "mute challenge."

The clip appears to be from Bey's Sunday night concert in Houston, and shows the repercussions for someone in the crowd who just couldn't pipe down during the popular moment of her song, "Energy."

For those unaware, concert venues have usually gone dead silent as the singer goes, "Look around everybody on mute." The strict silence has been a growing trend throughout her world tour, and the BeyHive has gotten pretty good at it.

They've also become very vigilant of rowdy fan's like this guy, and he ended up getting hit while chomping on some popcorn! Looks like he laughed it off, so it's not clear if they know each other, but the woman who struck him added a "Shut the f**k up" ... so he'd know she meant it.

FYI, fans online haven't been that thrilled with the noisy dude either ... as one person put it, "When the queen says stfu you stfu."

Fan de Beyoncé Es golpeado por hacer ruido Y no cumplir el "Mute Challenge"!!!

092623_beyonce_mute_man_kal
Mala onda

Cuando Beyoncé dice: "Todo el mundo en silencio", es mejor hacerle caso, de lo contrario puedes terminar como este fanático que fue golpeado por arruinar el desafío.

El clip parece ser del concierto de Bey el domingo por la noche en Houston, y muestra las repercusiones para un hombre en la multitud que simplemente no pudo callarse durante el popular momento de su canción "Energy."

Para los que no saben, en los conciertos suele haber un silencio sepulcral mientras la cantante dice: "Mira a tu alrededor todo el mundo en silencio". El silencio estricto ha sido una tendencia creciente a lo largo de su gira mundial, y a la BeyHive se le ha dado bastante bien.

También se han vuelto muy vigilantes con los fans alborotadores, como este en particular, que terminó recibiendo un golpe mientras comía palomitas (o pop corn). Parece que él se lo tomó para la risa, así que no está claro si se conocían, pero la mujer que lo golpeó añadió un "cállate la puta boca", para que él supiera que lo decía en serio.

Para su información, a los fans de Internet tampoco les ha gustado la actuación del fan, porque como una persona dijo: "Cuando la reina dice silencio es silencio".

Alabama St. Receiver Arrested For Punching Security ... At FAMU Game

Alabama State's Jacob Freeman punched a security guard in the face during Saturday's Florida A&M game, an attack that was caught on video ... and now the wide receiver has been arrested.

The altercation started when Freeman, number 16, lost his cool with a fan on the sidelines ... and seemingly attempted to get to the person. Security attempted to step in and stop JF, which evidently angered the Alabama State player.

That's when Freeman, helmet still on, threw a quick right, landing square on the guard's face, who immediately clutched the area that had been punched.

Waiting for your permission to load the Facebook Video.

On Sunday, Freeman was arrested by the FAMU Police Department, according to the Leon County Sheriff's Office. Freeman was charged with one count of "battery causing bodily harm".

Freeman took a mug shot and was eventually released from jail.

However, he won't be seeing a football field anytime soon ... Bama St. suspended him for his behavior.

"We do not condone the actions of the student-athlete, nor are the actions representative of the expectations set forth by the athletic department and our university," the athletics department said in a statement.

Hornets head coach Eddie Robinson Jr., during a SWAC coaches media call, said Freeman is remorseful, "but at the same time, he has to go through the process of his actions."

Freeman's player profile has seemingly been removed from the school's website.

PRESUNTA BRUTALIDAD POLICIAL agente arroja a adolescente contra el suelo Grabado en video

092423_cop_bodyslam_kal
golpeada por la policía

Un agente de policía de California fue grabado cometiendo presunta brutalidad policial, golpeando a una adolescente y casi dejándola inconsciente.

Las perturbadoras imágenes de la terrible experiencia fueron publicadas en Instagram el viernes por la noche después de que la policía de Victorville fuera llamada para detener una pelea en Victor Valley High School a primera hora de la tarde.

El video comienza justo después de que el agente ha levantado a la chica de 16 años en el aire y luego se le ve tirandola al suelo como una muñeca de trapo. Su cuerpo queda inerte.

La gente se apresura a ayudarla, incluido el fotógrafo. La chica parece completamente fuera de sí y apenas consciente.

Un representante de Victorville PD nos informó que los agentes trataron de dispersar al grupo disparando bolas de pimienta pero no funcionó.

La multitud entonces se avalanzó contra los agentes y la chica trató de apoderarse del lanzador de bolas de pimienta.

Fue entonces cuando "el ayudante del sheriff agarró a la mujer y ésta cayó al suelo", según la policía. Sin embargo, el vídeo contradice claramente esta declaración.

La adolescente fue trasladada a un hospital local para recibir tratamiento pero no se reveló el alcance de sus lesiones ni su estado.

Los policías dijeron que detuvieron a un niño de 16 años por golpear a un oficial en la cara y más tarde lo registraron en un centro de menores debido a su edad.

El fiscal del distrito está estudiando el caso para determinar si procede presentar cargos contra el chico y la chica.

La policía no quiso hacer comentarios sobre la situación del ayudante del sheriff.

Alleged Police Brutality CA Deputy Body Slams Teenage Girl ... Caught On Video

092423_cop_bodyslam_kal
BODYSLAMMED BY POLICE

A California deputy was recorded committing alleged police brutality, body-slamming a teenage girl and nearly knocking her unconscious.

Disturbing footage of the terrifying ordeal was posted on Instagram late Friday night after Victorville PD deputies were called to squash a fight at Victor Valley High School earlier in the evening.

The video opens just after the deputy has hoisted the 16-year-old girl into the air, and then you see him aggressively throw her to the ground. Like a rag doll, her body goes limp.

People rush over to help her, including the photog ... the girl seems completely out of it and barely conscious.

A rep for Victorville PD tells TMZ ... deputies tried to disperse the rowdy group by firing pepper balls at them, but it didn't work.

The crowd then converged on the deputies as the girl tried to seize the pepper ball launcher.

That's when "the deputy pulled the female away causing her to land on the ground," according to police. Yet, the video clearly contradicts the PD's statement.

The teen was taken to a local hospital for treatment, but the extent of her injuries and her condition were not disclosed.

Cops said they arrested a 16-year-old boy for punching a deputy in the face and later booked him into a juvenile hall due to his age.

The D.A. is currently reviewing the matter to determine if charges are warranted against the boy -- and the girl.

Police brass would not comment on whether they're investigating the actions of the heavy-handed deputy, or if he would face any discipline.

Caos en Gales Una mujer es noqueada con un neumático En violenta pelea policial

092323_police_brawl_kal
Caos con la policía

Una mujer parece haber quedado inconsciente después de que alguien le arrojara un neumático suelto durante una pelea absolutamente loca entre policías y ciudadanos en Gales, y todo quedó registrado en video.

La violencia del clip es bastante brutal. Este muestra un grupo de personas, no demasiado grande, luchando directamente con un puñado de policías en las calles de Wrexham, específicamente, en el pueblo de Rhosllanerchrugog.

Se ve a los policías tratando de luchar contra un hombre en un barrio residencial, con un montón de gente (presumiblemente vecinos) mirando, incluyendo muchos niños. Algunos de los transeúntes adultos también parecen perderse entre el grupo. Lo que es seguro, es que es un completo caos.

Al final, pareciera que la policía piensa que está rodeada de ciudadanos hostiles y saca sus porras, les piden que retrocedan y los amenazan con golpearlos. Un oficial incluso despliega su spray de pimienta mientras los otros policías siguen tratando con alguien en el suelo.

Es entonces cuando un gran neumático de bicicleta es lanzado de la nada por alguien en la multitud. Parece que iba dirigido a uno de los policías, pero golpea a una inocente mujer que estaba de pie que cae al suelo de inmediato y se golpea fuertemente con el suelo. La gente se asusta, y otra mujer con un bebé la examina.

El video se corta después de eso, por lo que no está claro lo que sucedió después. La policía de Gales del Norte se ha referido al incidente, que ocurrió el jueves. Dicen que los oficiales fueron desplegados para responder a los reclamos de desorden público, pero no dicen lo que pasó exactamente.

Dicen que 5 personas fueron detenidas como resultado de esto ... y que algunos de los oficiales sufrieron lesiones. También dicen que una mujer fue hospitalizada, pero se desconoce su estado.

Bedlam in Wales Woman Knocked Out by Thrown Tire During Insane Police Video

092323_police_brawl_kal
welcome to wrexham?

A woman appeared to be knocked unconscious after somebody threw a loose tire at her during an absolutely crazy fight between cops and citizens in Wales ... and it's on video.

This clip is pretty tough to watch considering the brutality shown. It depicts a decent-sized crowd of people straight up battling with a handful of police officers in the streets of Wrexham -- specifically, in the village of Rhosllanerchrugog.

You see cops trying to wrestle a man down in a residential neighborhood -- with a bunch of people (presumably neighbors) watching ... including tons of kids. Some of the adult bystanders actually appear to get in the mix. Safe to say, it's complete violent chaos.

Eventually, it looks like the police are actually surrounded by hostile citizens and they bust out their batons -- telling them to get back, threatening to swing on them. One officer even deploys his pepper spray as the other cops continue dealing with someone on the ground.

That's when a large bicycle tire gets hurled out of nowhere by someone out in the crowd. It appears to have been intended for one of the cops -- but it hits an innocent lady who's just standing there. She goes down immediately, losing all control of her body ... hitting the ground hard. People are freaking out, and another woman carrying a baby checks on her.

The clip cuts out after that -- so it's unclear what happens after. North Wales Police have since addressed this incident, which occurred Thursday. They say officers were deployed to respond to reports of public disorder, but they don't say what that was exactly.

They say 5 people were arrested as a result of this ... and that some of the officers sustained injuries. They also say a woman was hospitalized, but her condition is unknown.

San Francisco 49ers Fans Brawl At Giants Game ... Man Pulls Woman's Hair

FISTS FLYING, WIGS FLYING
X/@T_Stephenson1

The 49ers didn't have many issues on the field on Thursday night, but their fans in the stands sure as hell did ... getting so mad at each other, they brawled right in their seats!!

The fracas happened at some point during San Francisco's blowout win over the Giants at Levi's Stadium ... when about half a dozen Niner supporters decided to beat the hell out of each other.

It's unclear what started it all -- but both women and men were involved.

You can see in video from the scene, as two ladies decked out in SF gear took swipes at each other ... a man wearing a Richard Sherman jersey grabbed one of the combatants by her hair and threw her several feet down some stairs.

The fight, though, continued ... and when another man jumped into the action, the guy in the Sherman jersey started throwing punches.

Meanwhile, another 49er fan hopped into the fray to land some kicks as well.

No word on how it was all separated ... or if any police were involved. But, if they were ultimately kicked out of the venue for scrapping, they sure missed a great performance from their team -- 'cause the Niners rolled over NY, 30-12.
