Woman's condition unknown after bear attack in western Wisconsin
Woman's condition unknown after bear attack in western Wisconsin originally appeared on Bring Me The News. A 69-year-old woman was able to call 911 after being attacked by a black bear in western Wisconsin on Saturday. According to the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR), the woman was attacked by the bear near the town of Comstock — a small community located along Hwy. 63 between Turtle Lake and Cumberland in Barron County. The woman's current condition is unknown, though the DNR says she was able to call 911 and was later taken to a local hospital. The DNR says local wardens and the U.S. Department of Agriculture Wildlife Services, along with the Barron County Sheriff's Office and Cumberland Police Department, responded to the scene and found a cub in a tree while searching for the bear that attacked the woman. "DNR wardens and USDA Wildlife Services staff attempted to track the bear with the aid of a trained bear hound dog, but the search was unsuccessful," the DNR said. "Efforts to capture the bear are ongoing. Several bear traps have been set at the scene. The goal is to euthanize the bear and assess its condition." What prompted the attack is unknown. There are an estimated 28,000 black bears in Wisconsin, and they are considered common to abundant in Barron County. According to the DNR, black kbears are usually shy around humans. In the event that you come into contact with a black bear, the DNR says it's a good idea to find a secure area and make a lot of noise by yelling, honking or banging pots and pans to scare the bear away. Humans should never approach a bear "Bears are generally afraid of people, and aggressive behavior is rare," the DNR says. "However, a bear will be defensive when protecting its young or a food source. Bears can also become agitated if they are startled." Steps to take if encountering an aggressive bear: Talk to the bear or start shouting if it doesn't leave. Raise arms above your head and wave them to appear larger than you are. DO NOT RUN. Slowly back away and don't turn your back on the bear. Always leave an escape route for the bear. DO NOT LIE DOWN OR PLAY DEAD. Fight back if attacked.

Dog left in hot SUV sparks outrage in Memphis parking lot
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Police were called to the parking lot of Bass Pro Shops in Downtown Memphis after a good Samaritan noticed a dog in the back of an SUV on Friday. Brett Hubbard didn't know how long the dog had been in the vehicle, but said the car was not running and the windows were barely cracked. He immediately called 911. 'I don't know why you would leave any living being in a car this time of year with no air-conditioning at all. It's just crazy to me,' said Hubbard. Hubbard said police arrived right away, and a tow truck driver who happened to be driving through the lot popped the lock of the Subaru. An officer was seen removing the small dog from the back of the SUV and giving the pup some cold water. At the time, the temperature was over 90 degrees. 'Bass Pro, they allow dogs in there. They could've taken it in on a leash or carried it or whatever,' Hubbard said. 'If you're not gonna be responsible, then don't have kids, don't have pets.' Hubbard said officers also went inside Bass Pro and paged the owner of the Subaru several times. A woman and a teenager could be heard telling a WREG photographer they had not been in the store very long. Hubbard responded by saying it had been 30 minutes since he placed the 911 call. 'It just blows my mind that someone thinks it's ok. I'm standing in the parking lot, covered in sweat, so I'm hot; all the police officers are hot. There's no telling how hot it was inside that vehicle,' Hubbard said. In Tennessee, it is illegal to leave a dog unattended in a vehicle if the conditions inside could endanger the animal's health or safety. This includes situations where the temperature inside the car could lead to heatstroke, even with the windows cracked. State law also allows individuals to break into vehicles to rescue animals in imminent danger, but only under specific conditions, like calling 911 first and remaining with the animal until help arrives. It does not appear the owner of the dog was cited, and she was allowed to take the pup. 'I don't care if you leave your window cracked or whatever, either leave it running or take the dog inside, or don't take the dog with you whatsoever. And children, that's a whole different level of things,' said Hubbard. In 90-degree weather, a parked car can heat up very quickly. After just 10 minutes, the interior temperature can rise to 109 degrees. The CDC says never leave your pet in a parked car, as they can suffer from heat-related illnesses.

Indianapolis church doubles down on Pride sermon advocating for harm to LGBTQ people
An independent fundamentalist church in Indianapolis is doubling down on a sermon in which a lay preacher encouraged congregants to pray for the deaths of those who identify as LGBTQ+. The sermon — a mashup of Bible verses dotted with homophobic slurs and tied to Pride Month — was delivered June 29 at Sure Foundation Baptist Church, located in a small storefront near Lafayette Road and West 30th Street. More: Antisemitic incidents spiking in Indiana. North Central student tells her story "Why do I hate sodomites, why do I hate (slur)? Because they attack children, they're coming after your children, they are attacking them in schools today, and not only schools in public places, and they're proud about it!" church member Stephen Falco said during a Men's Preaching Night service. Falco called people who identify as LGBTQ+ "evil" and "disgusting." "There's nothing good to be proud about being a (slur). You ought to blow yourself in the head in the back of the head. You're so disgusting," he said in the sermon the church posted on YouTube. The video-sharing platform has since removed the video for violating its terms of service. Advocates for LGBTQ+ Hoosiers and other religious leaders were quick to denounce what they saw as harmful rhetoric in the sermon first reported by WISH-TV. "Such messages are not only theologically irresponsible but pastorally dangerous," the Concerned Clergy of Indianapolis, a faith-based civil rights organization, said in a statement. "The pulpit must never be used as a weapon to dehumanize, isolate, or incite fear." But the church, in a statement shared July 3 on its Facebook page, leaned into the criticism and proclaimed it would not apologize for the sermon. Instead, the message celebrated the attention the controversy has generated for the church. "The Bible is crystal clear that sodomites — homosexuals — deserve the death penalty carried out by a government that actually cares about the law of God," said the message signed by Evangelist Justin Zhong. G. David Caudill, founder and executive director of Equality Indiana, called the message inflammatory and extremist, saying it could inspire violence against the community. Sure Foundation Baptist Church, in response to questions from IndyStar, said it has about 35 people attend services on an average Sunday. Followers are called "soulwinners" and urged to spread the Gospel. The church website asserts its beliefs are based exclusively on the King James Bible. The Lafayette Road congregation is a branch of the Sure Foundation Baptist Church in Vancouver, Washington, which grew out of Verity Baptist Church in Sacramento, California. The Indy church is the only branch in the Midwest, according to the website, and had its first service Feb. 3, 2024. Zhong is identified as the local leader and is responsible for its day-to-day operations. Beyond its doors, the church has a presence on YouTube, Facebook, X and Rumble, a video-sharing platform that has become a right-wing alternative to YouTube because of its opposition to so-called cancel culture. More: As Trump support merges with Christian nationalism, experts warn of extremist risks "My job as a preacher is to preach the Word of God without compromise. If that means people would be pushed away, then so be it," said the response to IndyStar attributed to Zhong, Falco and the church. "My job is not to please men, but to please God. So many churches tone down the Bible in order to gain a crowd and that is wrong." The church statement said Falco's sermon was delivered as part of a Men's Preaching Night hosted every three months. Any man who is a faithful member can preach, but women are not allowed in the pulpit or any other type of leadership position, the statement said "because it's simply not biblical." Falco's comments on LGBTQ+ Hoosiers weren't his only extreme comments. Nor is he the only one from the men's programs to espouse hateful rhetoric and call for violence against people they see as an abomination or evil — including immigrants, protestors, graffiti taggers, and even those accused of minor crimes such as loitering. In the June sermon, Falco also attacked former President Joe Biden. "I have prayed for death of former President Biden many times for the wickedness he has done when he was in office, you know?" Falco said, mentioning Biden's recent cancer diagnosis. "And I believe many other Christians were also praying for his death, because he's a wicked reprobate." Another man identified in the video as "Brother Wayne" followed Falco at the pulpit that evening with a message titled "Worthy of Being Beaten." He blamed many societal problems on a lack of discipline and physical punishment, calling beatings a deterrent that has been lost in American culture. "I mean, is it really justice to put someone in jail and just let them sit there and get out with a fine or get a slap on the wrist, just to watch them turn around and do it all over again, become a repeat offender. ... If we had public beatings, it'd be much more swift," he said in a video posted on YouTube. His list of those "worthy" of a beating included protesters and those who commit even minor crimes. Some of his harshest words were aimed at immigrants and the LGBTQ+ community. "I don't even understand why we're deporting these illegal criminals who are murderers, who are doing drug trafficking, sex trafficking, human trafficking. They're putting them on a plane, and they're sending them over to a prison in another country," he said. "I say we put them to death right here. I say we beat them right here." As for those who identify as LGBTQ+, he said: "I think they should be put to death. You know what, I'll go further. I think they should be beaten in public first for all their sick and demented, just (slur) and the things they're doing to our schools, to our government, to our institutions, to our churches. These people should be beaten and stomped in the mud, and then they should take a gun and blow the back of their heads off." In another Men's Preaching Night sermon from March, titled "Donald Trump: A Modern Herod," Falco again took the pulpit and called the president a pervert, and accused him of appearing religious to secure political support while having a life of pride, perversion, blasphemy and mockery of Jesus Christ. "This is what Donald Trump, our president of the United States of America, has said about his own flesh-and-blood daughter, and it is disgusting ... 'If Ivanka weren't my daughter, perhaps I'd be dating her,'" Falco said in the sermon. "It's sick. You know, at least Herod had the decency to say that about his stepdaughter." Falco concluded: "Unless Donald Trump gets saved, which I hope he does ... God will judge him for it and he will go to hell." The Concerned Clergy of Indianapolis countered Sure Foundation Baptist Church's message with a Bible verse, saying in its statement the Gospel is for everyone and should not be used a tool of condemnation. The clergy group said the Black Church, born in the crucible of oppression, must never mimic the very spirit of exclusion that once rejected its community. "We are called to be a sanctuary for the marginalized, not a platform for prejudice," the statement said. In standing for the dignity, inclusion and justice for all people, the group said it rejects the notion LGBTQ+ individuals are outside of God's reach, grace or redemption. "True holiness is not about who we hate; it is about how we love," the statement said. "We affirm that sin exists in all of us, we also affirm that God's grace extends to all of us. Our mission is not to decide who is beyond salvation, but to embody the inclusive love of Christ." Caudill, of Equality Indiana, said he is encouraged to see other Indianapolis faith leaders condemn the church's sermon. He's heard similar rhetoric at Pride festivals across the state — it's usually from small groups carrying signs and staging protests near festivities. "It does put my radar up to let those people who are supporters and followers of our organization, on social media and even those that are donors, to let them know we have to be more vigilant and protect ourselves," he said. "When you have that type of hateful and violent language, it could lead to someone taking those words and feeling protected to be able to go and commit violent acts against our community."
