EASTON

Gunfire erupted in Easton’s West Ward Monday night when three masked men tried to steal a car and then fired on friends of the victim who arrived on the scene, police said.

But the end of the gunfire didn’t end problems for police.

Officials said the victim and his friends were arrested for disorderly conduct when they became unruly when officers responded.

“It was just total chaos,” said Detective Lt. Steven Parkansky.

About 11:15 p.m., an officer at Sixth and Northampton streets was told about a shooting that had just occurred near Seventh and Bushkill streets, police said.

Investigators said Fitzbert Lester, 24, of the 200 block of N. Seventh Street, Easton, was unloading items from his car outside his home when he was approached by three men wearing dark masks and dark clothing. Police said the men pushed Lester into his car and demanded the car keys, but he refused and struggled with them.

At the same time, police said, two of Lester’s friends, Jamie Bussereth, 22, of West Hempstead, N.Y., and Carlton Johnson, 31, of Brooklyn, N.Y., arrived in a car.

When they got out of the car, police said, one of the three men who had been assaulting Lester fired a shot. The three men got back into their car and drove down Bushkill Street. Police said they recovered one .45-caliber and two .380-caliber casings, indicating more than one of Lester’s assailants was armed and several shots were fired.

No injuries were reported.

Parkansky charged Lester, Bussereth, Johnson and a fourth person, Jennifer Jones, with disorderly conduct. Jones, 26, who lives with Lester, came out of the N. Seventh Street residence when the commotion began, police said.

In July 1997, Lester was shot in the arm outside a city restaurant. He initially identified his attacker but then testified he didn’t see who shot him. Police charged him with filing a false report, but a Northampton County judge dismissed the case.

A man from Entumbane suburb in Bulawayo got to learn the hard way as the prophet whom he believed would come to his rescue later impregnated his wife and married her as his second wife.

William Matsure became a bachelor after he took his wife Petrocell Muleya to a Bulawayo prophet Brian Nyika for rituals as he suspected that she was barren. The couple failed to conceive children despite trying all they could in a period of three years. It is reported that Matsure gained trust on Nyika after he succeeded in destroying one of the goblins that once grabbed headlines for allegedly having sex with women in the same Entumbane suburb.

A reliable source revealed that Matsure was desperate to have children and he suspected that his wife was barren therefore he sought help from Prophet Nyika. Little did Matsure know that he was inviting more trouble for himself by putting a mouse and peanuts in the same room.

Matsure then took his wife to Nyika for rituals and that was the last time he got in between the sheets with his wife as after the alleged rituals she always had excuses saying she was on medication.

“Matsure was eager to have children, he bought his wife’s story and after a few months he got the shock of his life when he noticed that his wife’s tummy was growing bigger everday. When he confronted her about what was happening, Muleya divulged that she was pregnant and the prophet was responsible as they had unprotected sex together after Nyika had said he wanted to confirming that indeed she was not barren,” said the source.

Muleya told her husband that the prophet did not conduct any healing session as he claimed that the first session was to sleep with him and if she did not get pregnant that would confirm she was barren. Realising that she had messed up, Muleya left her matrimonial home to stay with Prophet Nyika and became his second wife,” said the source.

Matsure confirmed that the prophet snatched his wife whom he was supposed to assist to be able to conceive children.

“I have become a bachelor again after the prophet I trusted impregnated my wife and married her.”

Prophet Nyika also confirmed that he married Muleya as his second wife, but refused to comment on whether she had been her client before he fell in love with her.

“I married Muleya as my second wife and at the moment she is at the rural areas. I do not know that she was married to someone else before,” claimed Prophet Nyika who is however supposed to see what happens in the spirit realm.

God is at War: The Spiritual Battle – Don’t Blame God series (2 of 4)

[This article was taken from our book Don’t Blame God! A Biblical Answer to the Problem of Evil, Sin, and Suffering.]

Satan is a parasite and a counterfeiter. Thus he and his purposes are actually defined by a proper understanding of God and His purposes. Satan’s character and his purposes are diametrically opposed to God’s. The Devil especially tries to undermine man’s perception of God’s goodness by afflicting the righteous while prospering the ungodly. His deception is geared to obscure both God’s good works and his own nefarious schemes, and to confuse people as to the difference between good and evil (Isa. 5:20).

Remember that it works to the Devil’s advantage if he can confuse people about God’s goodness. Let’s take Mr. Noah Nuttin, who wrongly thinks that God is in control of both good and evil. Mr. Nuttin knows two people who sin in the same way (lying, stealing, adultery, etc.,— the type of sin does not matter). One of them suffers evil in his life and the other one suffers nothing, or worse, appears to profit from the sin. Is Mr. Nuttin confused about God? Absolutely. Does Mr. Nuttin think that God is a fair and righteous judge? No. Does Mr. Nuttin have an understanding upon which his faith (trust) in God can grow? No. Score another run for the Devil. Mr. Nuttin would not have been confused about the situation had he been properly taught what the Word of God says about the real cause of evil, sin and suffering.

One of Satan’s goals in his seemingly random affliction of people (and his corresponding distortion of God’s written Word) is to make it seem as if God is judging and punishing people now. He wants not only to blind people to God’s abundant goodness, grace and mercy, but also to convince them that God is unfairly, unpredictably and almost gleefully vindictive. From our perspective of contemporary Christian theology, he has pretty well succeeded.

Original photograph removed

In a photograph emailed in to JMG, were the bodies of what appeared to be two men who were involved in the gruesome shooting on Saturday , July7, 2012. Both men visibly have multiple gunshot wounds , one of the men who appeared to have been wearing a white t-shirt has a defense gunshot wound on his arm , where he seems to have been trying to block the shot. The bullet seemingly tore through his arm and his bone could be seen. Another gunshot wound could also be seen further up his arm, closer to his shoulder. His forehead appeared to have been almost torn off by the bullets and his face showed traumatic and haunting wounds. The head of this young man was slumped over the back of the seat but hung down resting on the driver of the vehicle. Most of his wounds appears to be in his head and chest area.
The driver, who seems to have been wearing a navy blue or black t-shirt, appears to have been shot first as his window was riddled with bullets and the steering wheel splattered with blood as if he was shot first to stop the vehicle from moving. He appears to have taken more shots than the young man in white.While he has also has a defense wound on his arm, blood, cartilage and brain matter appears to have covered his arm. He was slumped over in his seat, with visible wounds on the side of his face and blood from those wounds, poured onto his arms and onto the shirt of the young man who was beside him.
From the photograph , it could be assumed that the vehicle was ambushed. First from the front , where the driver was shot in the head and then from the driver’s side of the vehicle. The shooter appeared to have been on both sides of the vehicle because both men have defense wounds on the outside of their arms. It can also be assumed that they were attacked by at least two men based on the nature of their injuries.
