Fair question. I know they recommend cover for shock, but heat exhaustion?
Again, not wanting to judge based on appearances, but I think maybe she doesn't look as if she's at the fitness level for hiking. Granted, it's been steamy just about everywhere recently, but still.

My #1 rule for being out in the sun is don’t wear black. Maybe that’s just an Arizona thing, what with our intense sun that will cause you to burst into flames if you wear a dark color that absorbs all that solar energy.
I'm in horrible shape myself, easily the worst shape of my life.
Like, without AC, a trip to the frig would probably be life threatening.
That being said, what would possess an obviously out of shape person (or anyone else, for that matter) to take on a hike of any kind during the heat of the day?
Why wouldn't you start out right as the sun came up and GTF out before the heat set in?
I dont know. This seems like a stupid is as stupid does kind of thing.
At the complete other end of the fitness spectrum:

| Link A 26-year-old up-and-coming professional boxer who challenged for a world title just last month was killed after authorities say a driver intentionally reversed into her while she was riding her bicycle in Texas. Hannah Rapp was cycling Saturday morning in Brazos County when a vehicle passed her, suddenly stopped, then backed up and struck her, according to the Brazos County Sheriff’s Office. Rapp was taken to a local hospital, where she was pronounced dead. “During the course of the investigation, investigators learned that the driver of the vehicle, identified as 31-year-old Charles Medina, had passed two bicyclists traveling along FM 159,” the sheriff’s office stated. “After passing the bicyclists, Mr. Medina stopped his vehicle, reversed, and struck one of the cyclists.” Medina was arrested and charged with manslaughter and booked into the Brazos County Detention Center. The sheriff’s office said investigators believe the collision was an isolated incident. The investigation remains active. Rapp, a former Purdue track athlete, turned professional in 2024 and compiled an 8-0-1 record before challenging Tiara Brown for the WBC women’s featherweight championship in June, according to ESPN and BBC Sport. She lost the bout by unanimous decision, marking the lone defeat of her professional career. Outside the ring, Rapp worked full time as a fire and life safety inspector at Texas A&M while pursuing her boxing career, the outlets reported. “The loss of Hannah Rapp leaves us heartbroken,” WBC President Mauricio Sulaiman said in a statement shared by ESPN. “She was an exceptional boxer, but above all, an invaluable member of our boxing family.” Brown also remembered Rapp as “the best dance partner I have ever faced as a pro,” writing in an Instagram tribute that it was “my honor to share the ring with her,” according to ESPN. |
In the end, I'm betting his sentence won't fit the crime. They typically don't these days...
That smells like 2nd degree murder to me (though it would appear to be deliberate), base on what's known at the moment.

Been seeing all over the news about the "mass shooting" in Tucson and the local politicians going on and on about how we need more laws to end "gun violence".
I figured more information such as this would come to light.
21-year-old man arrested in downtown Tucson mass shooting had record
https://tucson.com/news/local/crime-courts/article_92dcdc88-ceb1-46bf-8dbd-84f1f7aa1af0.html
David Leroy French, 21, was arrested in connection with a mass shooting in downtown Tucson Sunday that left nine people critically injured, court records say.
At the time of the incident French was serving a four-year probation term for a 2024 aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, court records show.
During the 2024 incident, French and some other people were hanging out at a car wash in the early morning of Oct. 6, 2024, when an employee asked them to leave, court records say.
French, who had pulled out a rifle, and two others confronted the employee. The employee ran away from the group towards the median of a nearby road, court records say. Surveillance footage from the incident shows French pointing the rifle at the employee and firing in his general direction, court records say.

An illegal immigrant serving a lengthy prison sentence for the murder of a Michigan woman is suing President Donald Trump, alleging he faced humiliation when his case was used as a political talking point, and is demanding $75 million, a public apology, and U.S. citizenship.
Brandon Ortiz-Vite, 27, who was previously deported from the United States, is serving a sentence of 39 to 102 years in prison for killing Ruby Garcia in March 2024.
Garcia's body had several gunshot wounds and was found dumped along a road in Grand Rapids. The pair were in a romantic relationship and were engaged in an argument at the time of the slaying.
In a handwritten complaint filed in federal court, Ortiz-Vite named Trump and White House Principal Deputy Press Secretary Steven Cheung as defendants.
Fox News Digital has reached out to the White House.
Ortiz-Vite's case garnered national attention and was highlighted when Trump, who made combating illegal immigration a large part of his campaign, visited Grand Rapids in 2024. During his remarks, Trump labeled Ortiz-Vite as "America's problem."

He also featured Ortiz-Vite’s mugshot in commercials as an example of the "murderers, rapists , and drug traffickers" who resided illegally in the United States, The Midwesterner reported.
He was mocked by prison staff and other inmates, he said.
"I was put into a category. Who I was as a person no longer mattered! What only mattered was my race," Ortiz-Vite wrote. "My case and immigration status! Once again, it belittled me, shattered my dignity and what I was as a person."
"The shame it brought to my family name is a reality I have to live with now," he added. "I took full responsibility for my actions but for them to use my case for political gain on TV was unjust. Humiliating. When I thought it couldn't get worse, it did. I was center stage in front of a nation, public scrutiny at its finest!"
Ortiz-Vite, who acted as his own attorney, said his case came under intense media coverage, resulting in him living in a "nightmare".
"It all became clear to me when I first met with my court-appointed attorneys. They explained how my case had now gotten blown out of proportion and was now a high-profile case!" he wrote. "The shock in their eyes and the tears from mine were a reaction to my realization that I was living everyone's worst nightmare! To be publicly infamous—a target! To the United States of America, from here everything went downhill. I was now labeled a cold-blooded murderer in the eyes of the people of this nation."
"The anxiety and despair I felt compares to no other," he added.
Matthew Borgula, a criminal defense attorney and former federal prosecutor, said the lawsuit is unlikely to succeed, citing a range of factors, including presidential immunity.
"Federal law requires courts to screen prisoner suits before anyone is served. This complaint will likely not survive that screening," Borgula told Fox News Digital. "Also, Presidential immunity covers official acts, and campaign statements can fall outside it — but this suit fails for more basic reasons."
Borgula noted that Trump's statements on the Ortiz-Vite's case were "substantially true, and being publicly embarrassed by a politician isn't a constitutional violation. This case should end before it begins."
Tudor Dixon, a former Michigan GOP gubernatorial candidate, called the lawsuit an example of arrogance and entitlement.
"As long as we have Democrats jetting to other countries to coddle criminal illegal aliens over margaritas, this level of arrogance and entitlement from convicted murderers will continue," Dixon told Fox News Digital. "It’s time lawmakers stand with the Ruby Garcias of the world instead of her killer."
After entering the U.S. illegally, Ortiz-Vite remained under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program until his status expired on May 10, 2019, MLive.com reported.
"She would brighten up the room with her beautiful smile and laugh," Mavi Garcia said of her sister, Ruby. "She loved to travel, was dedicated to her work and enjoyed being with her family on her free time." (Mavi Garcia)
He was deported following a 2020 arrest for driving while intoxicated. It was unclear when he re-entered the U.S. illegally.
The complaint didn't cite any legal violations, instead blaming Trump for labeling him as an example of the Biden administration's border policies.
Ortiz-Vite eventually said he "stood tall" and took responsibility for his actions.
"Because I was remorseful for my actions on the 26th, I turned myself in and confessed to the murder of my partner at the time," he wrote. "Knowing the consequences it would bring, I stood tall and was respectful when asked about the actions that took place on the night of March 24th, 2024."
He is seeking $75 million, a public apology, and "naturalization to this beautiful country."
Despite its lack of merit, Borgula, the lawyer, noted that the lawsuit appears to be a window into what it's like to become a talking point in a national campaign.
"While the plaintiff may feel aggrieved, I don't see that a federal court can offer a remedy," he said. "He pleaded guilty to second-degree murder. Once you've done that, absent overturning the conviction, I don't see a legal avenue for collecting damages on a theory that your conviction was unfair."

There's so many things I want to say right now. The entitlement is strong with this one
https://www.newsmax.com/world/globaltalk/us-agencies-700-drones-world-cup/2026/07/16/id/1263053/
U.S. agencies have seized over 700 drones near FIFA World Cup venues and fan zones since the start of the tournament on June 11, the FBI said on Thursday.
On match days, all aircraft operations, including drones, are prohibited within a radius of three nautical miles and up to 3,000 feet (914 meters) above ground level around the stadiums unless specifically authorized by air traffic controllers. The FBI said drones have been seized from restricted airspace across all 11 U.S. host cities.

A Peoria County jury took about 30 minutes before finding Peoria Heights Mayor Matthew Wigginton not guilty of DUI after being arrested last April when he was found asleep behind the wheel of his SUV.
At issue is whether the jury of 12 believed Wigginton was guilty of driving under the influence despite the car being off and Wigginton not trying to start or drive his Lexus SUV, which was in the parking deck of the Hotel Pere Marquette. The vehicle was on the third floor of the Hotel Pere Marquette parking deck. The mayor had been at the hotel that night for the annual Gridiron dinner.
During her closing statement, Assistant State’s Attorney Hanna Kong argued Wigginton had the “physical ability” to start the car. She told jurors that Illinois law holds that a person doesn’t have to be driving to be guilty. Rather, she said, they have to be able to start the car and get it moving.
Defense attorney Kevin Sullivan countered that such an assertion was “ridiculous” and ticked off a list of situations that could land someone with a DUI. What if a person was sleeping in an RV after driving, and the keys were in the vehicle, he asked.
