Detroit gas station clerk saved teenage girl from man after she mouthed 'help' to him

"I feel good when you save somebody," Yemeni immigrant Abdulrahman Abohatem told local TV.

The young Yemeni immigrant manning the cash register at a Sunoco gas station in Detroit struggles at time with his English, but police say he immediately understood when the 16-year-old girl seeking to buy cigarettes silently mouthed the word “help.”

Now Abdulrahman Abohatem is being hailed as a hero for saving that teenager from a suspected rapist who allegedly abducted her at gunpoint last week. And the local Yemeni-American business community is showing its appreciation by raising money to help him defray the costs of his upcoming wedding.

“We are all very proud of him,” said Mohammed Alsanai, principal of the Frontier International Academy in Hamtramck, which is where the teenager attends school.

...

“I feel good when you save somebody,” he told the ABC News affiliate WXYZ-TV. “Sixteen years old — she is a child.”

Really, Prime Minister...

Keir Starmer furiously told Parliament today that the Foreign Office never told him that Peter Mandelson failed vetting and overruled UKSV to approve the appointment as ambassador to the U.S.

But Mandelson is a scandal magnet, why did Starmer even consider him? The appointment--to the UK's most important diplomatic posting, no less--faced considerable opposition and skepticism from the start. And what was Starmer told that led him to tell Parliament three times in answer to direct questions if Mandelson had been cleared by UKSV, that "due process" had been followed? The Foreign Office told Starmer something, and if it was anything other than "UKSV-approved", Starmer should have asked "Wtf do you mean 'due process'?"

 Starmer Out.

Ira Winderman: "Institutional Arrogance"; Play-IN May Be Difficult 2026/27

MIAMI — Institutional arrogance is what has made and what has driven the Miami Heat during these three-plus decades of Riley/Arison oversight.

...

As coach and players on Thursday at Kaseya Center put to rest the season, the response was no more play-in, have to get out of the play-in, can’t keep placing the season in such a delicate one- or two-game balance.

The institutional arrogance of that they are better than this.

The reality is that there very well may stand a pathway out of the play-in.

A sobering pathway.

Based on this season’s regular-season finish, it is apparent that the Eastern Conference’s top four seeds aren’t going anywhere any time soon.

Detroit has proven it’s for real.

Boston’s staying power is undeniable.

New York is all-in for this moment.

Cleveland’s depth of talent again prevailed.

So that’s four almost sure things going forward for next season when it comes to the six seeds with direct entry into the best-of-seven first round of the playoffs.

And then there is the undeniable truth of this season’s No. 12 in the East possibly rising as high as No. 2 next season.

As in Indiana...

So that’s five out of six that would appear firmly planted as perceived direct-entry playoff teams in the East next season.

Leaving one spot ahead of the play-in round of Nos. 7-10.

And leaving Atlanta, Toronto, Philadelphia, Orlando and Charlotte, who all finished ahead of the Heat this season.

If one of those joins the aforementioned seeming playoffs locks (Pistons, Celtics, Knicks, Cavaliers and Pacers), then all the rooms would be filled at the direct-entry 2027 Playoff Inn.

Further, consider that Washington, with the late-season acquisitions of Anthony Davis and Trae Young has made it clear it will be playing for keeps next season, while also playing with another high-end lottery pick to be added to its mix.

Which brings it back to the Heat and that institutional arrogance of being better than the conference’s chaff.

Remember, the Hawks are receiving the Pelicans' lottery pick; the rise in Atlanta could well continue.

The 76ers, as debatable as it stands, could have more of Joel Embiid, and will have more of Paul George, after this season’s suspension.

The Hornets, as the Heat learned on Tuesday night, have become emboldened by their run through the second half of the season.

And that’s not even getting to the combined 9-0 dominance over the Heat by the Magic and Raptors this season.

So the Heat have to pick a lane.

Institutional arrogance all too often has convinced the Heat that they’re better than the rest — even when they’re not.

As it stands, a third consecutive season at No. 10 might be the challenge, let alone rising into the top six.

The reality is that without change in roster and approach, making the play-in could stand as a quality achievement.

Because being stuck in the middle might not even be possible without change.

So … fork in the road.

With only two logical choices:

— Go all-in on a risk-taking major swing for the fences.

— Or sit back, develop the youth, offload the veterans, with the knowledge that their 2027 first-round pick only goes to the Hornets if outside of the lottery.

This is not a time for the timid.

Nor is it a time for Riley to offer pithiness of how health, internal growth, greater conviction can turn it around.

This will take more. Far more.

Ira

OH MY GOD: EIGHT CHILDREN MURDERED IN A DOMESTIC VIOLENCE MASS SHOOTING IN SHREVEPORT, LOUISIANA

"MAGIC" STUN "PISTONS" G1 112-101 IN MOTOWN. Z was -8.5.

Astonishing Stat

The odds - according to statisticians Opta - remain heavily in Arsenal's favour but their chances have fallen from 97% to 73% within a week, while City have leapt from 3% to having a 27% chance of winning the title.

That's an astonishing stat. It sounds like a Nate Silver stat. I don't know from that what the bettors odds are, e.g., City 3/1, bet $1 to win $3. I would...bet that bettors are investing in City if it's ~3/1.

*Update: As of April 19, 2026, Manchester City has become the favorites to win the Premier League following a pivotal victory over Arsenal, with betting odds around 8/11. ...Arsenal’s odds have dropped significantly to around 6/5. 

The meaning of an "odds-on" favorite is when the first number is smaller than the second, Betting odds-on favorites is poor investing. For example, to bet City to win, you would have to invest $11 to win $8 back; for Arsenal, you'd wager $5 to win $6. Beeb, your 538-style percentages are bullshit stats. Nobody knows, as Nate Bronze didn't know, what Hillary Clinton having a 70% chance of winning the presidency meant, until she didn't. 

Since Arteta took charge of Arsenal in 2019, City have won the Premier League four times but it is Arsenal who have been at number one for the longest period at 537 days to City's 453.

That's an astonishing stat. Why have Arsenal not won a league title in those seven seasons while have City have won four? The Beeb answers:

This month of the calendar remains Guardiola's favourite with his win ratio now standing at 71.4% - 2.53 points per game - while Arteta continues to suffer in his worst month, collecting 1.48 points per game with a win rate success of 39.5%.

That is pathetic, Arteta. Fucking pathetic.

Iran’s Navy is laying at the bottom of the sea, completely obliterated - 158 ships. What we have not hit are their small number of, what they call, “fast attack ships,” because we did not consider them much of a threat. Warning: If any of these ships come anywhere close to our BLOCKADE, they will be immediately ELIMINATED, using the same system of kill that we use against the drug dealers on boats at Sea. It is quick and brutal. P.S. 98.2% of Drugs coming into the U.S. by Ocean or Sea have STOPPED! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DJT

The United States will work closely with Iran, which we have determined has gone through what will be a very productive Regime Change! There will be no enrichment of Uranium, and the United States will, working with Iran, dig up and remove all of the deeply buried (B-2 Bombers) Nuclear “Dust.” It is now, and has been, under very exacting Satellite Surveillance (Space Force!). Nothing has been touched from the date of attack. We are, and will be, talking Tariff and Sanctions relief with Iran. Many of the 15 points have already been been agreed to.

Very interesting

 

Everywhere Pep Guardiola has been, especially as player and manager at Barcelona, it was the expectation that the club would win--not "compete", win. Win every game, win every trophy. It has been the same at City...until last season. Last season, City did not have that champion's mentality. It was a mystery to everybody. Bernardo Silva, I think it was, pointed to a game against Brighton (I think) as the start of the malaise, and to a later game against the same club when City cleared their heads. 

This is a down season for the Premier League: Liverpool, Arsenal Arsenaling (again), City--we are not as good as we have been. The winner of the league this season will not be considered a great club. It has looked more like an Alphonse-Gaston routine to get out of each other's way and through the door. Arsenal still lead the league (by three points), lead City on goal difference (one), and have the easier final games. But City have a game in hand. If City win their game in hand there goes Arsenal's point lead and goal difference. Do I have the confidence in City that I had during the Secretariat years? No, but this season does not require a "tremendous machine". I think City has regained a lot of its mojo, and I know that Arsenal has none. I expect City to win the Premier League now. Period. New sentence. But I would not be shocked if we Devon Loch instead of Secretariat it down the stretch.
