The mother of an Air Force veteran who confronted Republican vice presidential nominee Mike Pence at a town hall in Carson City, Nevada, Monday night, said she felt “disrespected” by the crowd’s overwhelming reaction to her question, NBC News reported. Catherine Byrne, the mother of Raymond Harmon, who is currently deployed in the Persian Gulf, asked Pence about Trump’s treatment of Muslim parents Khizr and Ghazala Khan, whose son, a decorated Army veteran, was killed in Iraq in 2004. “Will there ever be a point in time when you’re able to look Trump in the eye and tell him enough is enough?” Byrne asked Pence, prompting boos from the crowd. Pence did attempt to quiet the jeers after she spoke, saying, “folks that’s what freedom looks like and what freedom sounds like,” to a smattering of applause. The Indiana governor added that he has never spent time around someone who is “more devoted” to military and to veterans than Trump.
Talk about the elephant in the room.
A cable repairman walked into the basement of a New Jersey home Wednesday to find a slumbering giant.
There was a 500-pound bear asleep on the floor.
According to NBC New York, before the Cablevision employee was given the shock of his career, the bear had been spotted wandering in the neighborhood in Hopatcong, N.J. earlier Wednesday.
It is not yet known how the animal got into the home for nap time.
State Fish and Game officials arrived to shoot the bear with a tranquilizer dart, reports NBC New York. But the bear was then wide awake and didn't go down easily. It walked a few blocks to the Missouri Trail before it passed out.
It took eight people to carry the drugged beast from the wooded area where it collapsed to a vehicle for transport.
State Fish and Game officials tell NBC New York that they plan to relocate the bear.
No one was injured.
