tl;dr - it was Russia, b/c they're still playing cloak-n-dagger active measures games 50 years later.
I posted the entire clip under the "Russia" thread earlier this morning.

Georgia Teacher Is Killed After Teenagers’ Prank Goes Wrong
The teacher’s family “supports getting the charges dropped for all involved,” after a planned toilet-paper prank became a fatal car accident.
“Late on Friday night, a group of teenagers in Gainesville, Ga., drove to one of their teacher’s homes, armed with rolls of toilet paper to toss over the trees as part of a good-natured prank. Their teacher knew it was coming, and couldn’t wait to surprise his students.
But the ground outside was slick from rain, and the teacher, Jason Hughes, 40, slipped and fell into the street as he headed toward the group, who by then had jumped in their vehicles and started to drive away. Among the group was Jayden Ryan Wallace, 18, of Gainesville, Ga., who is accused of running over Mr. Hughes, a teacher at North Hall High School in Gainesville, with his pickup truck as he and four others tried to drive away from Mr. Hughes’s home, the Hall County Sheriff’s Office said.
Mr. Wallace faces a charge of homicide by vehicle in the first degree, a felony, the Hall County Sheriff’s Office said. He also faces charges of criminal trespass, reckless driving and littering.
In a statement, Laura Hughes, Mr. Hughes’s wife, who is also a teacher at North Hall, said her husband and the students involved loved one another. Mr. Hughes was not going to confront the students but instead “was excited and waiting to catch them in the act,” Ms. Hughes said….”

She said the family fully “supports getting the charges dropped for all involved.”
“This is a terrible tragedy, and our family is determined to prevent a separate tragedy from occurring, ruining the lives of these students,” Ms. Hughes added. “This would be counter to Jason’s lifelong dedication of investing in the lives of these children.”
… According to the Hall County Sheriff’s Office, Mr. Hughes tripped and fell into the street and was run over around 11:40 p.m.
Mr. Wallace and others stopped and tried to administer first aid, the sheriff’s office said. Emergency medical workers arrived and Mr. Hughes was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead….”
Remember when there was a mass protest just because Trump got elected the first time? Now there’s a war and it seems like everyone is either struggling too much to care or just numb because they know nothing will make a difference.

DOGE cutting the National Weather Service was such a brilliant effing idea - no one could have seen this coming! And sadly I doubt that these people will be the last to die thanks to all of these cuts.

Noem associate Madison Sheahan bought 2,500 marked vehicles for ICE
Despite ICE employees seeking to keep a low profile in public, ICE official Madison Sheahan placed a bulk order for marked vehicles.
www.washingtonexaminer.com
“
A former Trump administration official wasted millions of taxpayer dollars given to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to purchase thousands of employee vehicles that the agency cannot use to arrest illegal immigrants, according to three sources.
ICE’s top brass are quietly searching for a way to amend the remainder of a massive order of pick-up trucks and SUVs that were ordered last year and slated to be wrapped with the agency’s name, logo, and motto, as well as storing away many vehicles that have been delivered to ICE facilities across the country, the Washington Examiner has learned.…”

It's not just Muslims, these people hate diversity of almost any kind. They still want an America that looks like the cast of a 1950s/1960s sitcom - all smiling, happy, middle-class white people who look alike, dress alike, and think alike. Not that the country was ever really like that, even in the 50s and 60s, but it's what they believe existed.

People who are MAGA today are the ones who saw Obama's first election and didn't feel optimistic, they felt anger and even fear that the America they knew was changing in ways they didn't like, and that people like them might not be running things in the future. And that led directly to Trump and where we are today. I'm not a fan of David Brooks, but I do think he was right in many respects when he called the Trump movement "the receding roar of white America."
