Atlanta man angry at his girlfriend for leaving him does the unthinkable to their 4-year-old daughter, police say
A Georgia mother can be heard screaming on a harrowing 911 call before Atlanta police responded and found a horrific crime scene.
Atlanta police said they responded to a call of an injured person in a domestic dispute at about 11:30 p.m. on March 14.
‘Stop! Rashad, stop! Help!’ she says before the line goes silent.
They found a 4-year-old girl with multiple lacerations being held by an adult male later identified as 35-year-old Rashad Dixon. They were able to separate the girl from Dixon through the use of de-escalation tactics.
Police said she succumbed to her injuries after being rushed to a hospital.
Dixon was also treated for laceration injuries and was then arrested.
After an investigation, prosecutors said that Dixon stabbed and killed his daughter in order to punish the girl’s mother for leaving him.
WSB-TV obtained the audio of the 911 call, where the girl’s mother can be heard yelling for Dixon to stop.
“Stop! Rashad, stop! Help!” she says before the line goes silent.
Prosecutors say Dixon stabbed the phone in order to stop the emergency call. He then allegedly broke one of the windows in her car and also stabbed himself in an attempt to “evade the consequences of his actions.”
Dixon was charged with a slew of crimes, including:
Murder;Aggravated assault;Aggravated battery;Cruelty to children in the first degree;Possession of a knife during the commission of a felony;False imprisonment;Two counts of criminal damage to property; andSimple assault.
“It’s a horrible case of a father taking the life of his child to punish the mother,” Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis said about the case.
“We’re going to ask that he be put in prison for the rest of his life,” Willis added.
“Sometimes they say prosecutors don’t cry, but this one, when you read it, when you see some of the evidence, it’s heart-wrenching,” Executive District Attorney Simone Hylton said.
Hylton said there was a history of abuse of the victim’s mother by Dixon.
“This is an indication of the extreme events that can occur in intimate partner violence cases,” she added.

Was the punk rock of my youth secretly conservative?
I was listening to a Classic Punk playlist on Spotify the other day and heard the song “Safe European Home” by the Clash.
I always assumed this song was making fun of uptight British and European vacationers who preferred not to venture too far from the safety of their milquetoast white societies.
The Dead Kennedys saw that liberal college students were too brainwashed to understand how lucky they were.
That’s how it was back in the 1980s. Europe, England, and America were so safe and law-abiding that young people had to seek out exotic locations to have real travel adventures.
I thought “Safe European Home” was about boring, bourgeois people who would never consider visiting Africa, or the Caribbean, or Central America, mostly because they might be exposed to poverty and crime — much of which was created by their own countries’ capitalist exploitation of these third-world countries. At least that’s what the Clash would say.
Or at least that’s what I thought they’d say.
¡Viva la Revolución!
The Clash always presented as left-leaning. They were always singing about third-world revolutions, police brutality, resisting military conscription.
They even named one of their albums after Nicaragua’s socialist revolutionary party: “Sandinista!”
But hearing “Safe European Home” again, I realized that I had never listened closely to the lyrics. Was my interpretation correct? What was the Clash trying to say with this song? So I Googled it.
It turns out I was wrong. The real story of that song was that in 1977, Clash members Joe Strummer and Mick Jones traveled to Jamaica to write songs and soak up the reggae vibes.
But once there, they had a rude awakening, which they described in the lyrics of “Safe European Home”:
I went to the place where every white face
Is an invitation to robbery
And sitting here in my safe European home
Don’t wanna go back there again
Mick Jones said after the trip: “I’m surprised we weren’t filleted and served on a plate of chips. We went down to the docks, and I think we only survived because they mistook us for sailors.”
So it turns out that “Safe European Home” was not a jab at unadventurous European travelers. Jones and Strummer were actually horrified by the lawlessness of Jamaica!
They weren’t making fun of anybody. They were genuinely relieved to get back to Western civilization.

Jello and the boys
Another influential punk band, the Dead Kennedys, had their own song about traveling in dangerous places: “Holiday in Cambodia” (1980).
In this song, lead singer Jello Biafra taunted sheltered American college kids by suggesting they visit war-torn Cambodia, where the population was being brutalized by communists.
So you’ve been to school for a year or two
And you know you’ve seen it all
In Daddy’s car, thinkin’ you’ll go far
Back east, your type don’t crawl
It’s time to taste what you most fear
Right Guard will not help you here
On a holiday in Cambodia
Where you’ll do what you’re told
A holiday in Cambodia
Where the slums got so much soul
Of course, if you were a college student in the United States at that time, you probably had leftist professors telling you communism was a good thing.
But the Dead Kennedys were not telling you that. They were telling you the truth. Cambodia was an absolute nightmare. And for college kids, who thought Mao and Trotsky and Che Guevara were “cool,” it would be a devastating reality check.
California Über Alles
The Dead Kennedys claimed they had no official ideology. But they obviously leaned left.
They mocked President Reagan and accused Governor Jerry Brown of turning California into a fascist police state in their song “California Über Alles.”
Imagine that: thinking the biggest problem in California was too many police! I wonder what the Dead Kennedys think of California now?
A liberal who hasn’t been mugged yet
So yeah, two of the most left-leaning punk bands were clearly aware of the privileges they enjoyed by living in Western societies.
In both cases, these musicians outwardly supported leftist causes. But when push came to shove, they showed an instinctive conservatism.
The Dead Kennedys saw that liberal college students were too brainwashed to understand how lucky they were.
And the Clash was a classic case of “a liberal is just a conservative who hasn’t been mugged yet.”
Throughout their career, the Clash maintained “left-wing revolutionaries” as their public image. But they still preferred Europe to Jamaica. Or at least they did back in 1977, when Europe was still predominantly European.
What would they think of it now? We can only guess at the answer to that.

Shocking DOJ report: These crime rates for illegal aliens are truly insane
New Department of Justice data shows that the vast majority of violent crimes committed by noncitizens are being committed by illegal aliens, not legal residents — and BlazeTV host Allie Beth Stuckey, alongside her brother, U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Texas Justin Simmons, believes this needs to change.
“A few weeks ago, they released stats for fiscal 2025. And one of the stats in there said that of the 66,000 people sentenced in the United States, 28,000 were noncitizens. Now, not 28,000 were illegal aliens because there’s a difference. You can be a resident alien and have legal status here,” Simmons explains.
“So 28,000 were noncitizens, but of those 28,000, 91.6% were illegal aliens,” he says. “Now, I will say, most of those illegal aliens were charged with those immigration offenses we talked about earlier, illegal entry, illegal re-entry.”
“But, understand it also encompasses a much broader group of criminals. It’s those people who engaged in alien smuggling. It’s people who are engaged in some kind of immigration documents fraud. So it’s important to understand the full context of what all is included in that number,” he continues.
This is why Simmons believes the mission to “stop illegal immigration” is so important.
“You can just imagine how much money we would have saved if we didn’t have to incarcerate all those folks who have broken the laws of the United States, who have shown their unwillingness to follow the laws of the United States upon entering the country,” he adds.
Stuckey points out that among the charges are “murder, manslaughter, sex abuse, child sex abuse.”
“The vast majority of those heinous crimes among the noncitizens are being committed by the illegal aliens,” she says.
“Most of the most heinous ones, stalking, harassing, kidnapping, drug trafficking, the vast majority of those are being committed by these illegal aliens, which just shows how dangerous the situation is,” she continues.
“It’s a human rights issue.”

17-year-old beaten into coma in NYC as Knicks complete historic comeback win against Spurs in NBA Finals
A 17-year-old male was beaten into coma in Manhattan as the New York Knicks completed a historic comeback win against the San Antonio Spurs in Game 4 of the NBA Finals, police told the New York Daily News Friday.
The New York City Police Department released a photo of the suspect — wearing a referee-style shirt — in the hope that tipsters may recognize him.
‘I know there was a lot of stuff happening outside.’
Police believe the culprit is a Twitch streamer who was screaming out, “Spurs in 7!” to get a reaction from Knicks fans on the streets, the Daily News said.
What’s more, the paper said the beatdown was livestreamed — and that it went down outside the Juniper Bar on West 35th Street near 8th Avenue, which is about two blocks from Madison Square Garden, where the Knicks defeated the Spurs 107-106 Wednesday on a last-second basket.
While the suspect hollered, “Spurs in 7!” as he and his friends recorded reactions, the Daily News said a young man standing next to the victim said, “Suck my d**k!” which led to a “free-for-all near a food cart on the sidewalk that dissipated after a few minutes, then quickly resumed again, according to a video reviewed by the Daily News.”
The male who wore the referee-style shirt repeatedly punched and kicked the victim, the paper said.

While video showed the victim standing on his own — although bruised and red-faced — minutes after the fight was broken up, he reportedly suffered a seizure, and medics rushed him in critical condition to Bellevue Hospital, the Daily News said.
The paper added that the victim briefly was in a coma with fluid in his lungs but has since woken up and is expected to survive.
The NYPD posted a photo of the suspect and said the following: “WANTED FOR GANG ASSAULT: On Wednesday night after the Knicks game, a group approached a 17-year-old near 237 W 35th St and got into an argument. This individual punched and kicked the teen. He had a seizure and was in a coma. Any info? DM @NYPDTips or call 800-577-TIPS.”
The Daily News said the attacker remained at the scene after the fight and at times appeared intoxicated and was lying on the sidewalk.
Workers at the Juniper Bar told the paper they were too swamped dealing with patrons and didn’t witness the fight.
“We were too busy,” one bartender told the Daily News Friday. “I know there was a lot of stuff happening outside.”
She added to the paper in regard to her bar, “It was packed. There was a lot, like 100 people outside.”
More from the Daily News:
The attack happened as 10 cops were injured and 56 fans were arrested as jubilant fans went wild in the streets of Midtown during the Knicks’ come-from-behind victory — with celebrants destroying a yellow cab and Citi Bikes and setting off fireworks.
Videos circulating online show jubilant Knicks fans stomping on Citi Bikes, climbing street lights, attempting to steal traffic signs, and ripping out poles cemented into the sidewalk.
In another video, a group of men, one waving a Palestinian flag, jump onto a yellow cab, shattering the windshield. One of the men was whipping the hood of the cab so hard with a belt he was denting it, the video shows.
The group also tried to flip the taxi over, police said. Fans climbed on top of four NYPD vehicles, damaging their windows. Some broke into a tractor trailer, stealing items inside.
Other videos show fans setting off fireworks in the street and getting quickly arrested.
The NYPD told the paper that as Wednesday’s game went on, crowds north of Madison Square Garden grew to about 10,000 and “became increasingly destructive.”

White House removes song from ICE video after Ariana Grande objects: ‘Barbaric, inhumane, heinous nonsense’
Pop singer Ariana Grande ripped into the White House for using her song in a video on social media promoting Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
The video was posted to the White House account on TikTok, but it removed the song after Grande left a comment objecting to what she called “barbaric, inhumane, heinous nonsense.”
‘I love this country, and what I’m seeing here happening is not America. It’s just not.’
“Please do not ever use my music in relation to this barbaric, inhumane, heinous nonsense. f**k ice,” she wrote.
Although the comment appears to be hidden, some posted screenshots, and a spokesperson for the singer confirmed that she wrote the comment herself.
Hours later, the song was removed and the message, “This sound isn’t available,” was added to the caption, according to Entertainment Weekly.
White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson released a statement about the comment.
“We’ll say this one last time: What’s actually barbaric, inhumane, and heinous are the criminal illegal aliens who have injured and murdered innocent American citizens,” she said.
This is not the first time Grande has objected to the ICE deportation mission.
In January, she wore a pin reading “ICE OUT” at the ceremony for the 2026 Golden Globes. Other celebrities wore “Be Good” pins after anti-ICE protester Renee Good was shot and killed by federal agents in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

“This is for her,” actor Mark Ruffalo said about the pin for Good during an interview on the red carpet. “This is for the people in the United States who are terrorized and scared today. I know I’m one of them.”
“I love this country, and what I’m seeing here happening is not America. It’s just not,” he added.

‘It’s war’: Spencer Pratt says he’ll keep working to save Los Angeles — and claims to have damaging evidence
Spencer Pratt says he has damaging evidence against one of the Los Angeles mayoral candidates after he was boxed out of the primary election.
Pratt initially came in second place when the first ballot count was announced on election night, but his lead was whittled away by successive ballot counts until socialist city councilwoman Nithya Raman overtook him.
‘The city is a mess, and you’re about to reward the arsonist who torched the place with four more years of destruction.’
Rather than abandon his effort to save Los Angeles, Pratt released a fiery and defiant video Friday claiming to have damaging audio secretly recorded by a candidate’s staffer.
“You think you could get rid of me that easily?” Pratt says in the video.
“I didn’t get in this for political power; I got in this to expose this corrupt machine, and nothing’s changed,” he added.
He referred to Raman and incumbent Mayor Karen Bass as “morons” and “dumb and dumber,” a reference to the popular movie. Pratt also claimed that many Los Angeles business owners and entrepreneurs told him they were leaving the city because of the inept government.
“That means the city has to cut services. More potholes, less firefighters, less police patrols, more criminals, more drug addicts terrorizing your communities,” Pratt continued.
“You have no idea how bad things are about to get for this city. Look at this place already,” he added.
“This city is a mess, and you’re about to reward the arsonist who torched the place with four more years of destruction?” he said.
Bass will go up against Raman, who previously endorsed Bass and was counted as one of her allies. Some on the left see Raman as the manifestation of a party battle between centrist moderates and the far-left socialist fringe trying to take over.
“My goal hasn’t changed. I’ve been laser-focused on stopping these commie animals, and I will stop them. If you think we uncovered a lot of fraud and evil in the campaign, just wait,” he added.
KTLA-TV published Pratt’s video in its entirety on its YouTube channel.
“So Karen, Nithya, ask yourself, is it possible that one of your employees may have a recording of you doing or saying something that would force you to resign in disgrace?” he asked. “I hope you sleep well at night over the next five months.”
The latest ballot count with about 99% of the votes had Bass at 34.3%, Raman at 29%, and Pratt at 25.5% of the votes. The difference between Pratt and Raman was about 30K votes.
“It’s war!” Pratt said in the video.
