Re:ON THIS DATE Date Posted:2025-12-09 07:11:20Copy HTML His son and heir Leka was born just three days before the Italian invasion in 1939 and was taken into exile and safety aged three days. He was allowed to return on a visit in 1993, on his passport Leka gave his occupation as "King". A referendum in 1997 on restoring the Monarchy with himself as King was rejected by 66.75% to 33.25%, although many claim the vote was rigged by the government. He settled permanently in Albania in 2002 and died there in 2011. You're playing chess with Fate and Fate's winning.

Two dead, nine injured in a shooting at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island. Person of interest in custody, investigation is ongoing. Rhode Island has some of the toughest gun laws in America. I guess if a person is intent on murdering someone having an illegal gun is no deterrent.
