An Arkansas man accused of killing his teenage daughter’s alleged abuser won the Republican nomination for local sheriff while waiting to stand trial for murder in his rural county, where he ran on a message of seeing the failures of law enforcement.   Aaron Spencer defeated Lonoke County Sheriff John Staley in Tuesday’s primary elections, according to unofficial results posted by the Arkansas secretary of state. He would not be able to serve if he is convicted of killing Michael Fosler, 67, who at the time was out on bond after being charged with numerous sexual offenses against Spencer’s then-13-year-old daughter.   Spencer’s attorneys do not deny that he shot and killed Fosler but maintain he acted within the law to protect his child from a predator.   Spencer won more than 53% of the vote with all precincts reporting, according to unofficial results. Staley, whose department arrested Spencer in 2024, conceded the loss.     “Congratulations to Mr. Spencer. Tonight the voters made their decision in the Republican Primary, and I respect the decision,” Staley said in a statement posted on Facebook.   Spencer said in a statement that his message of accountability resonated with voters.   “Tonight, the people of Lonoke County stood up and chose transparency and accountability,” Spencer said. “This wasn’t a campaign about me. It was about every family who called for help and got nothing. That betrayal ends tonight.”   He is now set to face Democrat Brian Mitchell Sr. in the heavily Republican county in November.     Spencer has pleaded not guilty and is out on bond while awaiting trial, which was originally scheduled to start in January. The trial was delayed after the presiding judge was removed from the case. A new date has not been set.   Court documents show that on the night of the October 2024 shooting, Spencer woke up to find his daughter missing from her bedroom and went searching for her in his truck. He found the girl in the passenger seat of a vehicle Fosler was driving. Spencer eventually forced Fosler’s truck off the highway and, after an altercation, called 911 to report he had shot the man, records show.   Prosecutors argue Spencer had planned to kill Fosler even before that night and that he could have called police while pursuing Fosler.   Spencer’s attorney, Erin Cassinelli, wrote in an email to The Associated Press that the election results have no bearing on the facts of the case.     “Aaron Spencer did exactly what the law allows and exactly what any father would do: he protected his daughter and himself from harm,” Cassinelli said. “At some point, those responsible for this prosecution will have to reckon with that.”   Spencer pledged in a Facebook post last month that if elected he would establish a dedicated team to combat sex crimes against children.   https://www.21alivenews.com/2026/03/04/man-accused-killing-teen-daughters-alleged-abuser-wins-gop-sheriffs-nomination-he-awaits-murder-trial/

Good if you believe in the US.   But if you want a balance view, here is my take:   1. Iranians are now fighting for their cause and not their country. This is where the difference lies.  2. They are attacking Arab countries and people are asking why not mainly Israel. Answer is simple. Day 1 - attack Israel to wake up their citizen that they are now not safe. Day 2 - take out US and their allies military bases. This makes it difficult for them to stage attacks (can attack but inconvenienced. Day 3 onwards - attack Arab states 3. Israel is actually irrelevant. If the cease to exist tomorrow, the world will not miss them. Some will say they are great inventors  but I will leave the rebuttal to another day. 4. So what are the real targets in Arab states? It is 3 folds:      - Close straits of hormuz so no oil/gas movements (no petrodollars). also no food in and out (they import 80-90% of food). No petrodollars means US Equity tank as they invest mainly in the US. No food means the rich will take flight      - Prominent buildings - to put fear into western and indian investors that the place is not safe for business      - Last but not least, water infra - heck 90% of water is from desalinization plants. No water no life.   Now some of you say that US and Israel is bombing the shiat out of these goat herders. True. But once the cities are destroyed they will retreat into the mountains. Do you know that on the Iranian side of the Persian Gulf they are mountain ranges while it is all flat desert on the Arab side. The missile launchers are all embedded in those mountains. US talk about ground troops. They fail in Afghanistan because of the mountains. This will be round 2 of disaster.   As long as they are entrenched in the mountains, the Straits is dead. Yes Trump promise to protect. But most analysts predicted ammo is low. They gave too many to Ukraine who were using them like fireworks on Guy Fawkes day.   The war will need to end in WW3 - russia and china brought in once EU comes in with UK. Or Trump retreating with Congress sanctioning him or the mid terms was a disaster for GOP.   My take.,

mu season ends now!!! lol extra men for 45min but play so ah gua like ownself ish 10 men instead like happy with draw. deserved totally to lose as NC got the guts and passion, still trying to score when possible.   Ars if cant win champs, deserve  to wait for another 20 years.   MC, what a joke although their defence this season is cui, but still... forest this kind can score 2  away.
