Nairaland General › Honest Homeless Man by rafcrown(op): 12:42pm On Sep 20, 2013
A fund established to help a homeless man who returned a lost backpack containing more than $42,000 (£26,000) has raised almost $110,000 (£68,500).

Boston man Glen James, 54, spoke to police after he found the backpack containing $2,400 (£1,500) in cash and nearly $40,000 (£25,000) in traveller's cheques at the South Bay Mall.

The man who lost the backpack told workers at a nearby store and they called police, who later returned the backpack to him.

Virginia resident Ethan Whittington read media accounts of Mr James' honesty and started a fund for him on a crowd-funding website.

The fund has since raised more than $100,000, including $182 (£114) of pocket money saved up by two young children.

The Boston Police Department publicly thanked Mr James, saying his actions were "a remarkable tribute to him and his honesty".

Mr James said in a statement: "Even if I were desperate for money, I would not have kept even a penny of the money I found.

"I am extremely religious. God has always very well looked after me."

A US man is facing gun charges after he accidentally shot himself in the penis - with his fiancee's pink pistol.

Joshua Seto, 27, was shopping with fiancee Cara Christopher, 26, in Chandler, Arizona, when he stuffed her gun into the front waistband of his trousers.

Police say he accidentally fired the pistol in the process and the bullet pierced his manhood and passed through his left thigh.

His girlfriend called 911 and described the wound to dispatchers who told her to apply direct pressure to slow the bleeding.

"I did look at it. It's pretty bad," she told dispatchers. "He is still conscious, there is just a lot of blood."

Mr Seto was rushed to hospital but later released after treatment, reports the Arizona Republic.

"We don't know if he suffered any permanent damage," said Sgt J Favazzo of the Chandler Police Department.

"The case remains under investigation and we are still in the process of determining whether to press charges."

Truck driver dies after shooting himself in the penis

A truck driver has died after apparently shooting himself in the penis. The 37-year-old-man died during a drinking session with friends - not at the wheel - in the Philippines province of Pangasinan. Police said Geronimo Narciso was reportedly drunk and fired two shots into the air, prompting his friends to restrain him. When Narciso then tried to place his homemade gun in his trousers, he accidentally pulled the trigger.

Liberty Targets 'Illegal' Home Office 'Racist Van' - With Another Van

Civil liberties campaigners are hitting back at the Home Office's controversial "go home" anti-illegal immigrant vans - with a van of their own.

Liberty are driving a van around London on Tuesday carrying the slogan: "Stirring up tension and division in the UK illegally? Home Office, think again."

The campaign is in response to a Home Office van that featured a billboard telling illegal immigrants:

In the UK illegally? Go home or face arrest. Text HOME to 78070 for free advice, and help with travel documents. We can help you return home voluntarily without fear of arrest or detention.
The controversial message led the vehicle to be dubbed the "racist van" - and was disowned by Nick Clegg and the Lib Dem half of the coalition.

The Liberty van out on the streets today will circle the Home Office, Westminster and the surrounding area in the morning, before visiting Kensal Green and Walthamstow in the afternoon.

According to the civil liberties charity the Home Office vans were "deeply offensive and divisive" and in breach of the Equality Act - and therefore against the law.

Liberty also said it did not believe the government had the legal authority for the controversial immigration spot checks being carried out by Home Office officials.

Isabella Sankey, Director of Policy, said: "What better way to sow mistrust and division than the latest Home Office activities? Offensive vans pedalling racist slogans and spot checks on the streets are as un-British as they are unlawful.

"The department needs to think again, and fast - anyone who has been subject to a spot check should contact Liberty"

On Tuesday morning Boris Johnson also said while he felt illegal immigrants should obey the law - the language on the Home Office vans "could be friendlier".

And the Home Office campaign was too extreme for Ukip leader Nigel Farage, who said the tone of the billboards was "nasty" and "unpleasant".

"Government mobile billboards telling illegal immigrants they will be arrested is gesture politics aimed at trying to shoot the Ukip fox," he said.

Which country is officially the world's favourite holiday destination?

Which country is the world's favourite holiday destination?
The lavender fields at the Abbaye de Senanque, Provence: Getty
Drum roll, please. The country that is officially the world's favourite tourist destination has been revealed - with France receiving more visitors in 2012 than any other country.

The study by the United Nations World Tourism Organisation revealed that 83 million people holidayed in France last year, which is more than its population of 66 million, reports the BBC.

It received 16 million more visitors than the US in second place, with China, Spain and Italy making up the top five.

And it's not hard to see why France came out on top. Apart from its delicious cheese and wine, sun-soaked Mediterranean beach resorts and stunning skiing spots, France has 37 sites inscribed in UNESCO's World Heritage List and features cities of high cultural interest (Paris being the foremost, but also Toulouse, Strasbourg, Bordeaux, Lyon, and others), and rural regions that many enjoy for their beauty and tranquillity, like the stunning lavender fields of Provence (pictured).

Small and picturesque French villages of quality heritage (such as Collonges-la-Rouge or Gordes) are promoted through the association Les Plus Beaux Villages de France ("The Most Beautiful Villages of France"wink.

The Remarkable Gardens label also offers a list of the over two hundred gardens classified by the French Ministry of Culture.

The country is also extremely famous for its celebrity honeypot area, the French Riviera.

A host of stars own holiday homes here (Carla Bruni and the Jolie-Pitts included), while celebs flock to Cannes every year for its glittering film festival.

Meanwhile, the most visited city destination of 2012 was Bangkok, with London in second position. Paris, Singapore and New York finished the top five most-visited city destinations.

Immigration Raids Branded 'Racist' After 139 People Arrested
The Huffington Post UK | Posted: 02/08/2013 08:47 BST | Updated: 02/08/2013 10:56 BST

After "heavy handed" stop and search raids around the country, the Home Office has announced that 139 suspected illegal immigrants have been rounded up.

Onlookers in London reported seeing "burly" officers stopping only non-white people and becoming aggressive when questioned.

Ministers have faced mounting criticism over their tactics and rhetoric in recent weeks, which has included driving vans around London telling illegal immigrants to "go home'.

A refugee charity warned the latest searches "could incite racial tensions".

But the Home Office said: "We make no apology for enforcing our immigration laws."

The latest arrests were trumpeted by the Home Office on Twitter using the hashtag #immigrationoffenders - although none have yet been proved to be living here illegally.


Arrests were made in locations including London, Durham, Manchester, Wales and Somerset.

Immigration Minister Mark Harper said: "(Yesterday's) operations highlight the routine work we are carrying out every day to stamp out illegal working.

"We are sending a clear message to employers who choose to use illegal labour - we will find you and you will pay a heavy penalty.

"Illegal working undercuts legitimate businesses and is often linked to exploitative behaviour such as tax evasion and harmful working conditions.

"We will not allow the growth of a shadow economy for illegal migrants."

Civil penalty notices of up to £10,000 will be handed to employers suspected of using illegal labour.

Earlier, one London commuter said the officers were "heavy-handed" and "frightening".

Phil O’Shea told the Kilburn Times: "They appeared to be stopping and questioning every non-white person, many of whom were clearly ordinary Kensal Green residents going to work.

"When I queried what was going on I was threatened with arrest for obstruction and was told to ‘crack on’."

Writing in The Independent, Dave Garratt, the chief executive of charity Refugee Action, warned that the operations could "incite racial tensions".

"Over the last few weeks we've seen some very visible signs of the Government's 'hostile environment' crusade. There have been vans out on the streets with threatening slogans and, reportedly, non-white people being visibly stopped and searched," he wrote.

"The Home Office is responsible for community cohesion.

"Yet we are increasingly seeing what appears to be hostility towards non-white immigration, which will do nothing but incite racial tensions and divisions within otherwise rich and diverse communities."

Shadow immigration minister Chris Bryant said: "The Home Secretary said that it is unacceptable to stop someone simply on the basis of their ethnicity.

"Theresa May said that someone from an ethnic background was seven times more likely to be stopped than a white person, and she said that this was wrong and we supported her.

"We must now have immediate reassurance from the Home Secretary that this is the case for immigration enforcement too."

Immigration officers have been confronted by a group of women protesting at "heavy-handed" raids.

Footage shows members of the Southall Black Sisters chanting at two men from the UK Border Agency (UKBA) in West London.

Using megaphones, they chant "UKBA, go away," as the two men try to reason with them before eventually giving up.


Doreen Lawrence: Why would you focus on people of colour?

Goodbye #racistvan?
"Everyone has the right to live in this country, they actually pay their taxes and work hard," one woman shouts.

'We don't want your reasons, we don't want your lies', the women chanted
Southall Black Sisters, a not-for-profit organisation set up in 1979, works with black and minority ethnic women.

In recent days, raids and spot checks have sparked anger with reports that non-white people were being "racially profiled".

Doreen Lawrence, the mother of murdered teenager Stephen, also spoke out.

The Home Office also stood accused of enflaming racial tensions by driving vans around London carrying telling illegal immigrants to 'Go Home'.

On Friday, the government announced that 139 suspected illegal immigrants had been arrested, using the hashtag #immigrationoffenders, although none have yet been proved to be living here illegally.
