HELL’S ANGELS BAR BRAWL 2009
State authorities and the FBI fear the fallout after a vicious bar brawl. The fight landed a member of the infamous Hell's Angels Motorcycle Club in the hospital for nearly a month. We've learned authorities are tracking the players involved, trying to prevent potentially violent retaliation that could put innocent people at risk. The fight happened in a Bristol bar, just two nights before the big Fourth of July parade. The Topside bar was packed with people and police say, considering the players involved, it could have been much worse. Now, investigators fear the "Hell's Angels" could try and take the law into their own hands. It was an absolute melee. Minutes before the fight, it was like any other summer night inside "Topside Bar and Grill." A surveillance camera above the bar recorded only video, no sound. But the tension that is mounting between two men, is clear. Police identify one man as John Remington, a member of the "hells angels" motorcycle club. In the video, he's staring down another man: Carl Justice Nordstrom, who's also known as C.J. Nordstrom -- a biker himself, but not affiliated with any group. The video shows Remington walk over to Nordstrom. The two men, shake hands. The other men who are with Nordstrom are watching, intently. We aren't sure what is said, but there's no question what physically starts the fight. The video shows Remington shove the massive Nordstrom. What takes place next happens fast. The video shows a lightning quick two punches and John Remington hits the deck. The bar explodes into activity. A man police identify as a Topside bouncer is seen on the tape trying to stop the fight. He takes several blows to the back of the head. The tapes shows Nordstrom grab Remington and drag him to the door. Police have not been able to identify another man who was seen in the video with Nordstrom, but the tape shows that man holding off others in the bar. Meanwhile, the fight in the corner continues. Nordstrom lands repeated blows on Remington. Then he stands up and kicks him several times. Investigators say others in Nordstrom’s crew get involved in the beating. Less than two minutes after the fight erupted, the video shows C.J. Nordstrom casually walk over to the bar, grab his jacket and leave. The video, looking through the window, shows him get on his motorcycle. According to police reports obtained by Target 12 , Nordstrom, who is a former pro boxer, was arrested moments after the fight by Bristol police. He was charged with disorderly conduct and possession of a knife. Days later, Target 12 cameras were rolling as Nordstrom left court after his arraignment. His attorney, former Speaker of the House John Harwood says, his client, was attacked. John Harwood: "We're very comfortable the evidence will show he was assaulted and he defended himself. They just happened to pick the wrong guy." Two men in Nordstrom's crew, Paul Amato Meloche and Paul Nazarian, were also charged with disorderly conduct due to the brawl. Even the Hell's Angels’ member -- John Remington was booked for disorderly conduct. Police reports show Remington suffered a shattered ankle, busted nose and leg among other injuries. According to the arrest reports, just after the fight, The Bristol Police Department reached out to authorities in Cranston, where Nordstrom lives, keenly aware that a beef with the Hell's Angels could lead to retaliation. Target 12 has also learned both the State Police and F.B.I. have copies of the tape. They are monitoring the situation and are concerned there could be more violence. Lt. Col. Steven O'Donnell, RI State Police: "We refer to it as unintended consequences. They may think they can police themselves; somebody assaults somebody and they retaliate, but there's innocent people around." State Police Lt. Colonel Steven O'Donnell says this isn't the first time Nordstrom has put a member of the Hell's Angels in the hospital after a fight. That means this recent brawl has put law enforcement on alert. Lt. Col. Steven O'Donnell, RI State Police: "I do know they meet frequently and they have been meeting frequently about this particular incident." Tim White: "Meaning the hells angels?" O'Donnell: "Yes." We reached out to the Hell's Angels, but so far no comment. All of the charges in this case are misdemeanors and everyone has pleaded not guilty. Police say the charges could have been tougher, but the Hell's Angels member, Remington, refuses to press charges.

This is that China has been hanging over Taiwan's head for decades. And in recent years, they've really stepped up these military exercises which Taiwan along with the United States and others view as reckless and provocative escalating regional tensions exercises seen as coercion, the United States saying they are committed to supporting Taiwan's defense under the Taiwan Relations Act in Taiwan, investing billions to bolster bolster their own self defense capabilities. In the Taiwanese capital, there have been protests protests because of actions in parliament that some members of the public say are potentially putting Taiwan's democracy in danger. Some lawmakers in the opposition party are trying to pass legislation that would take power away from the newly elected president, President of Taiwan Lai Ching-te. And these members of the public say that if they did that these lawmakers who are seen as friendly to China would have power to potentially trade some aspects of Taiwan's freedom in exchange for economic benefit from Beijing.

China Court - Further sentencing expected following July riots
NAME: CHN COURT 20091012I TAPE: EF09/0964 IN_TIME: 10:15:00:03 DURATION: 00:00:27:22 SOURCES: CCTV DATELINE: Urumqi - 12 Oct 2009 RESTRICTIONS: No Access China SHOTLIST: 1. Wide of suspects on trial for alleged involvement in July 5 riot in Urumqi 2. Wide of court and suspects 3. Close of sign reading: "defendant" 4. Mid of defendant with crowd behind 5. Zoom out of police and security outside courthouse 6. Mid of police standing on guard 7. Exterior of courthouse STORYLINE: Two suspects appeared in a Chinese court in Urumqi on Monday for their involvement in riots in western Xinjiang region that left almost 200 dead in China's worst ethnic violence in decades. Once the trial is over, the defendants can be charged with murder, arson, and robbery. Their verdicts are expected later on Monday. State television said there was tight security outside the courthouse. On Saturday, a Chinese court sentenced a man to death for his role in a toy factory brawl that sparked the riots in western Xinjiang. Another man was given life imprisonment for the June 26 brawl at a toy factory in southern Guangdong province that pitted workers from the Uighur minority group against Han Chinese, who make up most of China's population. The melee left two Uighur employees dead. In the days that followed, graphic photographs spread on the Internet purportedly showing at least a half-dozen bodies of Uighurs, with Han Chinese standing over them, arms raised in victory. Ten days later, Uighur youths protested thousands of miles (kilometres) away in the far-western city of Urumqi to demand a full investigation into the incident, which erupted into rioting that left almost 200 people dead. The official Xinhua News Agency said Xiao Jianhua was given death and Xu Qiqi was given life in prison on charges of intentionally harming others. Their names suggest they are members of the Han majority. Xiao and Xu played key roles in inciting other workers to beat the Uighurs, Xinhua said, and prevented medical staff from getting to the injured. Beatings by the two were the main cause of the death of one Uighur, it said. Another 118 people were injured in the factory brawl that followed, including 14 seriously. Nine other suspects were sentenced to prison terms from five to eight years for the violence at the Xuri Toy Factory in Shaoguan, Xinhua said. Three of those sentenced for inciting brawling had non-Han Chinese names, but reports did not say if they were Uighurs. The fight started after a Han Chinese girl entered a factory dormitory where Uighur workers from Xinjiang were staying, leading to a rumor that she had been sexually assaulted, according to reports of the incident. China later accused Uighurs of sensationalising news of the fight as part of a plot to set off the July 5 rioting in Urumqi, which it blames on overseas-based groups agitating for greater Uighur rights in their Xinjiang homeland. Uighurs have been recruited in recent years to work at factories along the industrialised south-eastern coast, where they often coexist uneasily with their Han neighbours.

STRONG ARMING THE ARMED ROBBER 2008
A Rock Hill convenience store clerk is counting his blessings after fighting off an armed robber. It happened at the Sunoco Express Mart off Saluda Road. Randy Nunoo told police he stepped away from the register for just a moment last Friday night when a man wearing a ski mask and gloves and armed with a sawed-off rifle suddenly ran into the store. The suspect yelled at Nunoo to hand over the money and threatened to kill him. Fearing for his life, Nunoo grabbed the barrel of the rifle and the two began to fight for control of the weapon. The struggle was all caught on surveillance video. It continued for several minutes throughout the store finally ending in the parking lot. That’s where the suspect ran away and Nunoo gained possession of the rifle. During the struggle, the suspect fired the gun five times, including once, which was caught on the surveillance tape and shows windows to the front doors being blown out. He ran back in and called for help. He told authorities he was able to pull the ski mask off of the man at one point, identifying him as a neighborhood regular who had recently been banned from the store for shoplifting. Nunoo suffered minor injuries and plans to return to work later in the week. Meantime the suspect, 18-year-old Octavius Jones, is in the York County jail facing charges including armed robbery and aggravated assault with intent to kill.
