Houston police said a few officers were working extra jobs at the Galleria mall two weekends ago when they got a call about a theft suspect, KRIV-TV reported.Police said officers spotted the suspect and tried to detain him, the station said.'Wherever you go or whatever you try, they're going to catch you.'"I saw this man sprinting and cops chasing after him," Martyn Norris, who saw the whole scene playing out, told KRIV.But the suspect chose a getaway route officers had no interest in mimicking.You see, there's an ice skating rink on the mall's first floor — and the suspect was on the second floor.You guessed it.Norris told the station the suspect actually yelled, "Come get me!" — and then for some reason that even the suspect may not have yet determined, he jumped from the second floor overhang down to the ice rink."He jumped straight down, tried to land," Norris added to KRIV, "and when he hit the ice, his legs literally went out from under him — they snapped."There is video out there of the actual jump and landing, but the following news video doesn't show that — just the aftermath.RELATED: Blaze News original: Have a laugh at supremely stupid crime suspects who gift-wrapped their arrests for cops — part 1 In the unedited video, the man's feet shoot out away from his body as he hits the ice; his left foot and ankle appear dislocated and flop freely from his lower leg as he attempts to move.KPRC-TV reported that the man was taken to a hospital with "serious injuries" — and also was charged with theft and evading police. His identity has not been released, KRIV said."Please think twice because this is one of the most heavily populated police areas ever," Norris noted to KRIV. "Wherever you go or whatever you try, they're going to catch you."Like Blaze News? Bypass the censors, sign up for our newsletters, and get stories like this direct to your inbox. Sign up here!

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has had enough of the mainstream media’s lies, and he made that clear in a recent press conference when he called them out for focusing on superficial social justice narratives regarding Operation Midnight Hammer.“Let’s acknowledge the female pilots that also participated in this mission. The early messages that you sent out only congratulated the boys,” a reporter said to Hegseth at the press conference.“So when I say something like, ‘Our boys and bombers,’ see, this is the kind of thing the press does, right? Of course, the chairman mentioned a female bomber pilot. That’s fantastic. She’s fantastic. She’s a hero,” Hegseth responded.“I hope the men and women of our country sign up to do such brave and audacious things,” he continued, noting that “our boys and bombers” is a common phrase.“I’ll keep saying things like that, whether they’re men or women. Very proud of that female pilot, just like I’m very proud of those male pilots. And I don’t care if it’s a male or a female in that cockpit. And the American people don’t care. But it’s the obsession with race and gender in this department that’s changed priorities. We don’t do that anymore. We don’t play your little games,” he added.“It’s just so refreshing,” BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales comments. “You can have your own opinion on whether or not we should have gone in there and bombed these nuclear sites. You can have that conversation.”“I appreciate all types of views, but what I’m not willing to entertain is, ‘But why didn’t you give the female pilot credit? Because you said "boys and bombers," and that could be offensive to the female pilot,’” she continues.“Could you let the female pilot speak for herself? If she has a problem, she’s more than welcome to bring it up, but odds are she already knows that it’s a figure of speech, and she’s not at all offended because she’s not a little b***h,” she adds.Want more from Sara Gonzales?To enjoy more of Sara's no-holds-barred take to news and culture, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.

On June 20, residents of an Indianapolis neighborhood were shocked when a normal thunderstorm resulted in a giant spherical object flying into their neighborhood.Thankfully no one was injured — but the presence of the strange object now has everyone scratching their heads.Tech infrastructure company V2X, which has a location in Indianapolis roughly one mile away from the crash, has claimed the large orb-like enclosure, which is said to be made of lightweight materials and used to protect radar antennas.“I think it probably got turned over and caught in the wind, and unfortunately, it flew away. We’re really thankful no one got hurt or anything. No one got injured. But that’s what it is. I can confirm it’s not an alien satellite or an alien spaceship,” Andrew Belush, a V2X site executive, explained.However, BlazeTV host Dave Landau and his panel on “Normal World” have their own theories as to what the object really is.“The used oil tank at a Diddy party,” ¼ Black Garrett jokes, while Derek Richards chimes in that it could have been “Somalia’s attempt at a nuke.”“The Epstein client list,” Landau says, adding that it could also be holding “all of Hollywood actresses' original noses.”“Well, I think it’s a miracle that nobody was hit by this giant spaceball,” he adds, on a serious note.Want more 'Normal World'?To enjoy more whimsical satire, topical sketches, and comedic discussions from comedians Dave Landau and 1/4 Black Garrett, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.

On June 27, the U.S. Supreme Court, in a 6-3 decision, upheld a Texas law requiring pornography websites to verify users' ages to prevent minors from accessing explicit content, ruling it constitutional under the First Amendment. The dissenters were the expected radical left-wing trio: Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, and Ketanji Brown Jackson.They apparently “really want children to have access to porn,” scoffs Sara Gonzales, BlazeTV host of “Sara Gonzales Unfiltered.”Leading the charge for Texas in Free Speech Coalition v. Paxton was Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, whom Sara loves for the long list of wins he’s racked up as the Lone Star State’s top cop. While Paxton’s time as AG is likely limited as he gears up to challenge John Cornyn in the 2026 Republican Senate primary, kids in Texas are now safer thanks to his unwavering commitment to conservative values and to ensuring that Texas remains a stronghold for protecting families and upholding moral standards.While Sara and the “Unfiltered” panel, which includes Matthew Marsden and Eric July, are thrilled with SCOTUS’ ruling, the sad reality remains: The decision on whether or not to protect children from pornography had to be decided by the highest court in the country — a bleak picture of our nation’s waning morality and war on children. “An age restriction or an age verification should be a bare minimum,” says Sara. The only reason adult content companies haven’t been implementing them is they’re either “too lazy or too evil.”Pornhub, the leading adult content platform in the world, receiving billions of monthly visits, disabled its websites in Texas, complaining that the law infringed on adults' free-speech rights, posed privacy risks through mandatory ID verification, and was too costly to implement.But if free-speech rights were really being jeopardized by implementing an age barrier, then why are there “age restrictions on every gun site?” asks Marsden. And as for the complaint that it’s too expensive, Eric July, who runs his own comics website, says that digital mechanisms like age verification are “automated” today, meaning it’s not nearly as expensive as Pornhub and its parent company, Aylo Global Entertainment, have made it out to be.“What was expensive 10 years ago isn't any more, especially with regards to something like this,” he says. “Now it doesn't require a lot of money and resources.”Marsden then brings up another excellent point: “Think about how big Texas is, and they're just like, ‘No, we're out.’ … Economically that's a crazy decision. So it’s not about the money.”If it’s not about the money, and there are already age restrictions on websites that sell or promote adult content and products, then why is Pornhub leaving Texas over the requirement to implement age barriers that would protect children from harmful exposure?To Sara, it’s obvious: “[They] want to get them while they're young.”“If we get them while they're young, we've got a lifelong porn addict who's going to continue coming back to our website,” she sighs.To hear more of the conversation, watch the episode above.Want more from Sara Gonzales?To enjoy more of Sara's no-holds-barred take to news and culture, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.
