Illegal alien charged with setting sleeping woman on fire, pleads not guilty

El Scumbaggio

It happened on the F train in Brooklyn's Coney Island Stillwell Avenue station, on a train this writer has taken thousands of times. 

Sebastion Zapeta, 33, an illegal alien from Guatemala, allegedly [he is seen on video] lit a sleeping woman on fire, fanned the flames with his coat, and watched as she burned to death. He pleaded not guilty to murder and arson charges Tuesday.

The illegal alien was indicted on one count of first-degree murder, three counts of second-degree murder, and arson. Prosecutors said that he fanned the flames before sitting down to watch her burn as police and a subway worker tried to put out the fire.

According to court documents, Zapeta later told detectives he was in a drunken blackout during the attack. It's as if alcohol kills people just like guns do, and forks make people fat. 

"I am very sorry. I didn't mean to. But I really don't know, I don't know what happened, but I'm very sorry for that woman," he allegedly told detectives, according to a transcript from his interrogation translated from Spanish to English.

How did he not mean to burn her alive? He even fanned the damn flames.

Zapeta listened through an interpreter but remained silent during the 4-minute hearing. His lawyer, at the end, said his client needed medical attention, but additional details were not immediately available. It's possible that he got burned standing too close to his victim while fanning the flames. Poor guy.

The judge ordered him held without bail.

Zapeta entered the U.S. illegally in 2018 and was deported. Like so many Democratic hopeful voters, he returned to the U.S. at an unknown time and slithered to New York City. On December 22, he allegedly lit the sleeping Debrina Kawam, 57, on fire. She was from Toms River, New Jersey.

She was so badly burned it took over a week to identify her remains.

Zapeta told detectives he was drunk at the time of the slaying and often blacked out between his home and the subway platform or vice versa, trying to use that as an excuse for his actions.

"Sometimes, when I drink and erase the memory, and I don't known right?" he said, according to the transcript. "When I wake up, I'm already in the house, already sleeping. I wake up when I'm already at home. Or there are times when I wake up, and I'm already at the train station…or on the train…"

He's using the "Wolfman Excuse" it seems, but it doesn't excuse what he did.

You can read the transcript of Zapeta's interview with detectives:

Mayor Eric Adams (D) said surveillance video of the attack was so twisted he couldn't finish watching it.

According to the transcript, detectives played the clip for Zapeta and he claimed that he didn't remember any of it. He did, however, allegedly admit it showed him on the screen.

It seems like the guy's cognition to use a cigarette lighter to immolate the poor lady, and then fan the flames to ensure it would engulf her, demonstrates that he was sentient enough to know what he was doing and his blackout story is garbage, in my opinion.

"As the train pulled into the station, the suspect calmly walked up to the victim," New York City Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch told reporters at a news briefing. "The suspect used what we believe to be a lighter to ignite the victim’s clothing, which became fully engulfed in a matter of seconds."

Then the man walked out of the car to a nearby waiting bench, sat down, and watched as help arrived, albeit too late.

 Responding officers were already in the station, and a transit worker grabbed a fire extinguisher. The suspect even appeared on body-cam video, Tisch said.

The suspect was arrested after three teenagers riding another subway train recognized him from a wanted poster and called 911. He was taken into custody at the next stop.

Zapeta faces a maximum sentence of life without the possibility of parole if convicted. Too bad for him that by the time his court date rolls around, Biden will be out of office and will not be able to pardon him. Maybe Biden can do it preemptively.

The suspect is due back in court on March 12.

House passes Laken Riley Act again: 159 leftist Democrats oppose it

On Tuesday, the Republican-led House of Representatives passed the "Laken Riley Act" once again, legislation that mandates federal officials to arrest undocumented immigrants charged with theft in the United States. While that should be a 'no-brainer,' some on the left don't agree with the bill.

The bill garnered support from forty-eight Democrats and 216 Republicans, securing its approval in the House. It had previously passed in March of the previous year, but this session saw 159 Democrats voting against it, down from 170 in the prior vote.

These dissenting votes, according to Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), demonstrated that some Democrats "ignored" the public's demand for "secure borders, the deportation of violent illegal aliens, and laws that put the safety and security of the American people first."

This act is named in honor of Laken Riley, a 22-year-old nursing student from Georgia who was brutally killed last year. The convicted scumcrumpet, Jose Ibarra, a 26-year-old undocumented immigrant from Venezuela, was sentenced to life imprisonment for her murder.

The legislation would compel the Secretary of Homeland Security to detain undocumented immigrants charged with theft within the U.S. and also grants states the authority to sue federal officials for "injunctive relief" should immigration policies or actions adversely affect their citizens.

During the debate, Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) criticized the bill, stating that it was an attempt by lawmakers to "score cheap political points off of a tragic death" and that it "unfairly sweeps up many more innocent lives with no due process."

Rep. Mike Collins (R-GA), who reintroduced the bill for the current session of Congress, highlighted in a press release that the Laken Riley Act "directly addresses one of the federal policy failures" linked to Riley's murder. According to Collins, "Ibarra is an illegal alien who had been previously cited for shoplifting by the Athens Police Department. If local law enforcement had called ICE, and ICE issued a detainer and picked him up, Laken would be alive."

Although the Senate, under Democratic control, did not previously vote on the Laken Riley Act, with the shift to Republican control, a Senate version of the bill has been reintroduced. Notably, Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) has co-sponsored this effort, commenting, "Laken Riley’s story is a tragic reminder of what’s at stake when our systems fail to protect people. No family should have to endure the pain of losing a loved one to preventable violence."

IDF raided Hamaspital with fake doctors and terrorist patients

Israel's Unit 504 investigators of the IDF interrogated Hamas terrorists who revealed that the group fully controlled Kamal Adwan Hospital in Jabaliya, Gaza.

The investigators discovered that the hospital director was involved in planning and coordinating terror activity and that Hamas terrorists planned to escape an IDF raid by using ambulances.

The IDF and Shin Bet raided the hospital last Friday based on intelligence that terrorists were using the facility as a headquarters. Around 240 Hamas terrorists were arrested during the operation, including several who took part in the October 7 massacre.

An IDF reservist described his interrogation of a Hamas terrorist, who admitted that the hospital director was key in directing terrorist activities. The reservist said, "We discovered that the individual at the center of the event, orchestrating the terror and Hamas activities within the compound, was the hospital director himself."

The reservist added that Dr. Abu Safiyeh, the hospital director, "strutted around like a peacock, certain that he wouldn’t be arrested and fully convinced he was in control of the situation." 

Another reservist confirmed the hospital director's involvement with Hamas, stating, "Abu Safiyeh really did walk around like a peacock. He watched as his doctors were incriminated one by one, still convinced he wouldn’t face arrest." He was wrong.

He continued, "But we soon saw through his disguise—it was nothing more than a facade. They were terrorists with blood on their hands. The hospital director finally realized that the entire ruse had unraveled, and in the end, he too was arrested."

Working with COGAT, the IDF ensured the evacuation of 350 patients and medical staff from the hospital before the raid. Some of the "patients" were actually Hamas terrorists in disguise.

Israel's military also made sure that food, fuel, and medical supplies were delivered to keep the medical areas operational.

Additionally, 95 patients and staff members were moved to the Indonesian hospital in Gaza, along with two generators and thousands of liters of essential supplies.

The 401st brigade, which was positioned around the hospital, arrested terrorists and dealt with those who attacked or resisted the troops.

Israeli special forces discovered within the hospital an array of weapons, including grenades, firearms, and other military equipment.

ICE re-arrests illegal alien who was charged with attempted rape after MA court cut him free

A Massachusetts court poo-pooed an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detainer request for a man accused of kidnapping and several sex crimes.

Emilio Jose Pena-Casilla, a 46-year-old from the Dominican Republic, faces charges including assault to rape, kidnapping, two counts of indecent assault and battery on someone 14 or older, and intimidating a witness/juror/police/court official, 5 golden rings, 4 calling birds, and a partridge in a pear tree. ICE's Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) in Boston took Pena-Casilla into custody, pointing out how serious the accusations are.

“Emilio Jose Pena-Casilla stands accused of some very serious offenses against a Massachusetts resident,” said acting Field Office Director Patricia H. Hyde of ERO Boston. “We hold a sacred duty to protect the residents of our communities, and we will continue to do so by apprehending and removing egregious noncitizen offenders from our neighborhoods. Today, another victim in Massachusetts no longer needs to fear their predator.”

Pena-Casilla illegally entered the United States, along with a whole host of illegal aliens, near Eagle Pass, Texas, in January 2023. He was then put into ICE's Alternatives to Detention program and was supposed to be removed from the country, but he was let go on his own recognizance because law and order for some jurisdictions is just a suggestion under the Biden administration.

The scumcrumpet was arraigned on July 15 at Dorchester District Court. Before the arraignment, ICE issued a detainer to the Boston Police Department, and later sent another to the Nashua Street Jail managed by the Suffolk County Sheriff's Office. Despite this, the Dorchester District Court released Pena-Casilla on bail with GPS monitoring the following day, disregarding ICE's request to detain him.

On September 11, Pena-Casilla was indicted by Suffolk County Superior Court on the same charges, causing the Dorchester District Court to dismiss its case on September 13. He is currently held in ERO custody and is probably hoping to be let loose again.

Iranian Foreign Minister threatens Israel: a future attack would cause "all-out war"

Another Israeli attack on Iran will lead to a "widespread war," Iranian foreign minister Abbas Aragchi told the host of China's state broadcaster CCTV, He Yanke, in an interview published on Saturday.

The comments came during Araghchi's first visit to China since taking office, between December 27-8, the same day as his meeting with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi. Iran, Araghchi added, is fully prepared for another Israeli attack. Despite this, he claimed Iran would continue to achieve things through "diplomacy," saying, "We maintain contact with other Middle Eastern countries and continue to consult with our allies such as China." He added that such diplomatic ties will prevent future attacks from happening.

The two men extensively discussed the ties between their two countries, drawing on recent examples of high-level interactions, such as Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian's October 2024 visit to meet Chinese President Xi Jinping in Russia. Pezeshkian referred to China as Iran's most important partner at the time.

Developments in Syria

Speaking on recent developments in the Middle East, Araghchi said that the rebellion in Syria happened "so quickly" and "was not expected." He emphasized his desire for Syria not to become "a gathering place and shelter for terrorists, and Syria should not become a threat to its neighbors and regional countries." "The situation in Syria should be decided by the Syrian people themselves," he continued. Nevertheless, he said the future of Iran-Syria relations depends on how the new government - led by Abu Mohammad al-Julani - chooses to proceed. "How we treat the new Syrian leadership depends on how it acts. Iran is completely well-intentioned. Iran hopes that Syria will stabilize. We hope to help Syria stabilize and ensure the safety of all ethnic groups in Syria, including Shiites, Sunnis, Arabs, and Kurds."

Hezbollah in Lebanon

Araghchi also heaped praise on the "resolute resistance" of Hezbollah and Lebanon, saying he had no doubt the terror organization would come back stronger despite the "great blow" it suffered due to Israeli retaliation. "Israel was forced to accept a ceasefire because of Hezbollah's resolute resistance to Israel's ground offensive in southern Lebanon and because Hezbollah caused casualties in the Israeli army," he said. "The resistance movement still has a bright future, and Hezbollah is rebuilding itself in a careful manner." The two also addressed the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas and the containing hostage-ceasefire talks. Araghchi framed the talks as a loss for Israel, saying that the Jewish state, which wished to eliminate Hamas, was forced to sit down and negotiate against its will. Nevertheless, he said that Iran would support any ceasefire agreement so long as it was accepted by Palestine and Hamas themselves. "Hamas and the Palestinians decide whether to accept the ceasefire. As long as they are satisfied with the ceasefire, we support it."

Araghchi also discussed a potential Iran nuclear deal, which has become a prominent discussion in US foreign policy, especially amid the incoming second term of President Donald Trump. Araghchi said it was important to resume negotiations on the Iranian nuclear issue but said it was "very regrettable that the United States decided to withdraw from the Iranian nuclear agreement without any reason." "The US withdrawal from the comprehensive agreement on the Iranian nuclear issue was a strategic mistake on the part of the United States," he stressed.

The Iranian FM ended his interview with a wish for "no more war" in 2025. "I hope that in 2025, there will be a world without war, atrocities, and aggression, a world based on fairness, justice, and the rule of law, a world that can face up to those who trample on the law and those who are against humanity. To sum it up in one sentence, I hope that the world in 2025 will be a reasonable world."

Jake Tapper's vilification of Fox News may kick him in the butt in CNN defamation trial

CNN anchor Jake Tapper's criticism of Fox News might come back to haunt the network during an upcoming defamation lawsuit. This lawsuit stems from a 2021 segment on Tapper's show where they wrongly accused a Navy veteran named Zachary Young of exploiting Afghan nationals trying to escape after the Taliban took over.

A Florida judge decided on Thursday to side with Young, who claims that Tapper and CNN wrongly painted him as an "illegal profiteer" during America's exit from Afghanistan. This ruling allows Young to bring up Tapper's harsh words about Fox News from November 2023 in court. Back then, Tapper called Fox News a "cancer on the democracy we have" and accused them of not fulfilling their "grave responsibility" to report news fairly and honestly. This was first reported by Law and Crime.

Young is seeking $1 billion in damages, arguing that Tapper’s statements should be part of the trial to demonstrate that both Tapper and CNN knew they had a duty to deliver accurate and fair news. He claims the November 2021 broadcast harmed his reputation and destroyed his business, Nemex Enterprises.

Judge William Henry, overseeing the case in Florida’s 14th Judicial Circuit, has also allowed Young to use text messages in court. These messages allegedly show that CNN staff intended to tarnish Young's image as a war profiteer.

In one text, Alex Marquardt, the national security correspondent for CNN and lead reporter on the segment, said he wanted to "nail this Zachary Young mfucker." Another message from CNN senior editor Fuzz Hogan referred to Young as "a shit." CNN did not respond to requests for comment on this matter.

This lawsuit could be another public relations hit for CNN, which prides itself on being "the most trusted name in news." Previously, they settled with Nicholas Sandmann, a 16-year-old student from Covington Catholic High School, in 2020 after wrongly depicting him in a confrontation with activist Nathan Phillips.

The trial against CNN is scheduled to begin later this month, shortly after ABC News paid Donald Trump $15 million to settle a claim over comments made by ABC anchor George Stephanopoulos, who labeled Trump a rapist.

Tapper, who once worked for ABC News after serving as press secretary for former Congresswoman Marjorie Margolies-Mezvinsky in the 1990s, joined CNN later in his career.

Biden's water heater ban will hurt the poor and seniors

Alleged President Joe Biden's record on mucking things up and never getting anything right remains untarnished. His plan to ban certain types of gas water heaters as part of his ludicrous climate change agenda, will raise prices higher than a New Jersey drone, especially hurting seniors and low-income households. And the truth is, such a ban will have no effect on the climate but will make useless political hacks feel good about themselves as they puff up with momentary power.

And the fact that our barely sentient POTUS is implementing this along with other anti-Trump administration nonsense, he will be known in the future as the worst president of all time. Obama was correct: "never underestimate Joe's ability to f*** things up," he said.

The move in the final days of the administration will take non-condensing, natural gas-fired water heaters off the shelves by 2029 in a bid to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, which climate change "experts" and President Biden say cause global warming, much like paper bags and cow farts.

The new rules will require new tankless gas water heaters to use about 13% less energy than today’s least efficient tankless models.

The rules apply to both non-condensing and condensing gas water heaters, but the rules hike efficiency requirements to a threshold that only condensing models can meet, effectively banning the cheaper but less efficient non-condensing models, according to The Washington Free Beacon. 

Consumers will be forced to buy more expensive models or cheaper non-instantaneous storage tank water heaters, which are less efficient than the models being banned by the DOE. Their choices will be taken away and the next thing to go just might be other freedoms the government has no right to infringe upon. The only upside to this is the possibility that the West will be taken over and turned into a caliphate, but it's only an upside if that's how you roll.

It seems very likely that Biden and his addled brain, a brain that was never among the gifted and talented, is getting his last digs at Trump and not only is that childish and small, it's un-American to see that as more important than the success of any serving president.

Make no mistake, Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. is the worst president we ever had and January 20th cannot come soon enough.
