    South Carolina Mayor Died In Car Crash Just Days After Town’s Entire Police Force Resigned

    A South Carolina mayor, George Garner II, 49, sadly, died in a car crash during a police chase just days after his entire police force resigned. The accident occurred on Nov. 26 when his car collided with a truck while being pursued by a deputy on Hwy 34 in Mechanicsville, according to the Independent.

    Reports added that he was re-elected for mayor not too long ago.

    “The pursuit was not related to any laws being broken,”

    the Darlington County Coroner, J Todd Hardee wrote.

    “The pursuit was taking place in effort to protect the well-being of Mr Garner.”

    Earlier this month, the entire police force of McColl resigned, leaving the town of 1,900 residents without any officers. Chief Bob Hale stated that he stepped down after receiving odd treatment from a local official, according to a statement shared with WPDE.

    “For months, I have endured unwarranted and malicious behavior aimed at undermining my integrity and leadership,”

    said Chief Hale.

    He added,

    “These actions have not only affected me personally but have also created a toxic atmosphere that has hindered the department’s ability to function effectively.”

    The Darlington County Coroner and SCHP MAIT team are investigating the crash.

    Marlboro County 911 wrote on Facebook,

    “Our hearts are heavy during this difficult time, and we are keeping everyone affected in our thoughts and prayers. Mayor Garner was truly a remarkable individual. He consistently treated everyone with warmth and respect, and his kindness left a lasting impact on those around him.”

  • NYC Fruit Vendor Furious After Selling Banana for 35 Cents That Later Sold for $6.2M at Art Auction: ‘I Got 35 Cents’

    NYC Fruit Vendor Furious After Selling Banana for 35 Cents That Later Sold for $6.2M at Art Auction: ‘I Got 35 Cents’

    Shah Alam, a 74-year-old fruit vendor from the Upper East Side, was left feeling salty after discovering that a banana he sold for a few cents was used in an artwork called “Comedian.” The artwork by Maurizio Cattelan was taped to a wall. The piece sold for a whopping $5.2 million at an auction. In addition to that more than $1 million was added in fees, per the New York Post.

    “I got 35 cents. The other guy got $6 million,”

    the confused fruit vendor informed the news outlet.

    “It is beyond my imagination,”

    he continued.

    The Bangladeshi immigrant, who is nearly blind and speaks very little English, felt devastated to learn from a New York Times reporter that his banana was sold for millions at auction. He earns $12 an hour. He said,

    “I have never had this kind of money; I have never seen this kind of money.”

    How people are reacting?

    However, despite it all, Justin Sun, the founder of a Chinese cryptocurrency company and new owner of the “Comedian,” offered to buy 100,000 bananas from Alam in a post on X Thursday night.

    Sun ate the banana after buying the artwork and didn’t explain how he’d buy 100,000 bananas from the fruit vendor. The Post reports that Alam wasn’t unaware of this offer on X and reports added that a New Yorker set up GoFundMe for him to help him get paid for his contribution to the art piece.

    The fundraiser’s creator, known as JS, plans to give Alam the money in early December. By Friday, the campaign raised nearly $14,000, exceeding its $5,000 goal, and JS will match the donation’s first $5,000.

    Daughter Shockingly Says She Never Had A Mother’ After Allegedly Fatally Stabbing Her 84-Year-Old Mother On Thanksgiving Eve

    A Queens woman, Diana Bekatoros, 51, allegedly fatally stabbed her 84-year-old mother, Josephine, on Thanksgiving Eve on Long Island. After she was apprehended, she shockingly claimed she

    “never had a mother,”

    officials reported, according to the New York Post.

    Following her arrest, Diana Bekatoros, with shackled hands, told a photographer from Newsday,

    “I never had a mother,”

    adding,

    “Are you my mother?”

    She later claimed not to understand the questions when she was asked about the incident.

    After having dinner, Dennis Bekatoros went to watch TV and discovered his wife, Josephine, hurt on the floor. He called 911 for assistance, but sadly, she did not survive, reports News 12.

    Diana was apprehended at her Long Island City home and charged with second-degree murder, and held without bail during her arraignment. The judge noted her odd smiling during the serious hearing, which raised concerns about her mental state, and ordered a psychological evaluation.

    The elderly couple lived in one of seven homes on a quiet roundabout, near a cemetery. Each home has large yards, three-bay garages, and pools. A neighbor called the violence shocking.

    “To be honest, I’m just really sad.. I knew [Josephine] and she was a very good lady,”

    the unidentified neighbor informed The Post. She added,

    “I’ve met her daughter once or twice… She seemed to be a nice person but we never know what goes on.”

  • New York Elementary School Under Fire For Teaching ‘Gender Identity’ Course Covering Terms Such As ‘Transgender’ To Kindergarten Students

    New York Elementary School Under Fire For Teaching ‘Gender Identity’ Course Covering Terms Such As ‘Transgender’ To Kindergarten Students

    An elementary school in New York is under fire for teaching a gender identity class to kindergartners after course materials circulated online. Hillside Elementary, part of the Hastings-on-Hudson Union Free District, aims to promote inclusion through this

    “gender curriculum”

    for young students, per Fox News Digital.

    The course shows kindergarten students pictures of other kids to aid in them learning words for different identities. This includes terms like “cisgender,” “transgender,” and “non-binary,” according to a message sent to parents about the lessons.

    “Our gender curriculum focuses on Hillside’s core value of respect and aims to center discussions on gender identity. The students will learn and discuss that there is a lot you can’t tell about a person by simply looking at them,”

    the course description explained.

    “The students will look at pictures of children and talk about what they notice and what they think they know about the children just from the pictures. Using their observations, we will then take the opportunity to introduce vocabulary to describe characters of different identities,”

    said the school.

    The lessons talk about

    “gender and pronouns,”

    explaining that as kids grow, their view of gender can change. The Hastings-on-Hudson Union Free District said these lessons have been around for years and focus on respect and dignity for all students.

    William S. McKersie, the superintendent said in a statement to parents and staffers,

    “One 30-minute gender lesson is taught in each class one time per year. The classes are led by a certified educator, following a specific set of lessons designed to help students value the full diversity of their classmates.”

    McKersie continued,

    “The lessons have been created in alignment with the NYS Culturally Responsive-Sustaining Education Framework.” The lesson does not talk about “sex education or sexuality,” per the news outlet.

    The school district said they usually share course details online, but they took down the gender lesson description from the website after it went viral on social media.

  • School Bus Driver Under Fire After Abandoning 40 Kids On The Side Of The Road and Threatening Them If They Didn’t ‘Shut Up’

    School Bus Driver Under Fire After Abandoning 40 Kids On The Side Of The Road and Threatening Them If They Didn’t ‘Shut Up’

    A school bus driver in Colorado faces serious trouble after leaving 40 elementary students on the roadside and driving away. Students reported that he bragged about having guns and threatened them if they talked. The incident occurred Monday evening in Castle Rock. The students from Clear Sky Elementary noticed something was off after discovering a new driver, per the New York Post.

    “He wouldn’t let us leave the school until we stopped talking,”

    said Caitlyn Zavadil, 10. She told 9News,

    “He finally left, and he was skipping all the kids’ stops, and when I say all the kids, I mean all the kids… And we felt like when he was driving and missing our stops, like we were getting kidnapped.”

    The driver ignored the usual drop-off points and stopped at a busy intersection, ordering the kids to exit the bus. The spooked children quickly ran away as the driver drove off, leaving them alone as night fell and it became cold. Parents were understandably alarmed to see so many scared kids.

    How Parents Are Reacting?

    A parent, Savanna Keisling, said,

    “It felt as if there was an active shooter on that bus the way these children were just running from it, running out of it.”

    She saw Zavadil and her younger sister in tears. They were stranded over two miles from home without phones and unsure how to return. Concerned for their safety, she offered to give them a ride home, wanting to assist the girls in their difficult situation and ensure they reached home safely.

    Parents reported that their children returned home terrified, with one child fearing the bus driver might break into their house and harm them. In response, the Douglas County School District announced that the bus driver has been placed on leave while the Castle Rock Police Department looks into the matter.
