Timothy ‘Lil Tim’ Leeks, 22, Charged With Murdering Rapper King Von in Atlanta

Posted on Comments

Since we reported Friday (“Rapper Killed by ‘Systemic Racism’ and Semiautomatic Pistol Fire, But Mainly …”) on the death of Dayvon Bennett, a/k/a “King Von,” Atlanta police have moved forward with their investigation of the homicide of the Chicago-born rapper. On Saturday, they arrested Timothy “Lil Tim” Leeks, 22, on a felony murder charge.

Leeks, who is from Savannah, was reportedly part of a crew associated with Atlanta rapper Tyquian Terrel Bowman, a/k/a “Quando Rondo.” In the wee hours of Friday morning, outside a hookah club in downtown Atlanta, some kind of quarrel broke out (reportedly over a woman) between King Von’s crew and Quando’s crew. What began as a beatdown quickly escalated into a shootout captured on video.

There is still some question of who shot whom in the incident. In addition to King Von, 34-year-old Mark Blakely of Chicago was also killed and four others were wounded, including Leeks. One source of confusion is that Atlanta police were on the scene at the time of the shooting, and officers also fired shots, but police say none of them shot King Von; rather, police started firing after the gun battle between the rival crews started, in an attempt to end the shootout, and it is so far unclear if anyone was hit by police gunfire. What this incident highlights is the overlap between the hiphop culture and street crime.

The reason King Von moved to Atlanta was because he was wanted by police, and also hunted by gang rivals, in his hometown of Chicago. Last year, King Von and his rap buddy were charged with robbery and attempted murder in Atlanta. The guy charged with killing King Von is also a criminal; three months ago, Leeks was busted in Savannah:

In August, the Savannah Police Department charged Leeks with attempt or conspiracy to violate the Georgia Controlled Substance Act, theft by receiving stolen property and obstruction after an investigation led to the seizure of guns, more than 15 pounds of marijuana and nearly $16,000. He was one of five arrested in the investigation.

Guns, dope, thousands of dollars in cash — this is what it’s all about. Just more victims of “systemic racism,” like Joe Biden says.




 

 

68 Shots: ‘That’s All the Bullets We Had, or We Would Have Shot Him More’

Posted on

Angilo Freeland, a/k/a “Dread,” was a native of the Caribbean island of Antigua, and how he ended up in Florida is not entirely clear. Freeland was something of a mysterious figure, an enforcer for an international drug trafficking ring, and investigators believe he had killed at least 15 people in his role as a “paid assassin.” His criminal career ended after Freeland made the mistake of killing a Polk County deputy in 2006.

If you know anything at all about Florida, you should know this: Do not commit crime in Polk County, where Grady Judd has been the sheriff for the past 15 years. Judd is a career law-enforcement officer who went to work for the sheriff’s department as a teenager. By the time he was 27, he had attained the rank of captain, and was supervising 44 employees, all of whom were older than him. Judd is a sort of Florida celebrity, known for his “tell-it-like-it-is” press conferences. The Polk County Sheriff’s Department has solved 100% of its homicide cases since 2012, and anyone who thinks they’re going to get away with a crime there had better think again. The citizens of Polk County are just as tough as their sheriff who, by the way, has been unopposed in his past two reelections.

Last month, a criminal named Christopher Hendrix, who had served seven years in prison on an attempted murder charge (plea-bargained down to aggravated battery), decided to go on a rampage in Polk County. He tried to carjack a woman at a convenience store while she was pumping gas, but the lady turned the tables, dousing Hendrix with gasoline, and he decided to try his luck elsewhere. Next, he tried to carjack a van, but the van owner had a concealed-carry permit, and Hendrix found himself staring down the barrel of a pistol. This caused Hendrix to flee the convenience store, and he was later arrested on I-4.

During his press conference, Sheriff Judd praised the citizens who resisted Hendrix: “But you know what is really cool about Polk County? We fight back. We fight back against criminals. We carry concealed firearms and heck, the lady that didn’t have a concealed firearm used a gas hose, which worked just remarkably well.” Sheriff Judd said: “This violent, convicted felon was bound and determined to forcibly steal a car this morning, but our citizens said, not today.” And he went further:

“I guarantee you, when you start trying to carjack somebody’s car at the gas station, you’re subject toget shot. And shot a lot.”
An unidentified reporter responded, “You don’t think that’s a dangerous message you’re putting out?” Judd replied, “The message is, you don’t have to have a firearm. You don’t have to have a knife to be a dangerous individual. And if you come to this county, and if you use extreme violence, to try to carjack somebody from their car, if you get shot that’s on you. You can protect yourself and your property.”

 

You see what I mean about Polk County? This is a place where folks take public safety seriously, and criminals should avoid going there.

But maybe someone forgot to warn Christopher Hendrix. They didn’t tell him what happened to Angilo “Dread” Freeland in 2006. Freeland shot two deputies, killing one and wounded another, and also killed the deputy’s K-9. Sheriff Judd sent his SWAT team after Freeland. They fired 110 shots, and hit him with 68 bullets. A reporter asked the sheriff why the suspect was shot so many times, to which Sheriff Judd replied: “That’s all the bullets we had, or we would have shot him more.”




 

 

Woman Dies of Patriarchal Oppression and Police Gunfire, But Mainly …

Posted on

. . . yeah, it was the gunfire that killed her. Makell Meyerin, 31, was armed with a Beretta .45-caliber carbine when she was shot dead by police in Gurnee, Illinois, about 40 miles north of Chicago, in May 2018. The officers were acting within their authority:

Two Gurnee police officers “acted reasonably and appropriately” in a May 23 confrontation on Route 41 that ended with the officers shooting a woman armed with a military-style rifle, according to a statement released late Friday by Lake County State’s Attorney Michael Nerheim.
Gurnee Police Department Sgt. Jon Ward and Officer Benjamin Bozer “believed that their lives, the lives of their fellow officers, and the lives of the citizens present in the area were in danger of imminent death or great bodily harm” during a standoff with 31-year-old Makell Meyerin of Antioch, Nerheim said in the statement.
According to Nerheim, the results of an investigation by the Lake County Major Crime Task Force and reviewed by his office found that Meyerin “ignored repeated requests from the police to remain calm and to drop her gun” and “multiple officers heard her ‘rack’ her gun in order to prepare it for firing” before she leveled the rifle toward the officers.
“It was only then that they fired their guns to eliminate this threat. It should also be noted that once the threat ceased, they immediately stopped firing their weapons and took steps to aid Ms. Meyerin,” Nerheim wrote. “Her gun, a Beretta Cx5 Storm tactical carbine rifle, had one live shell in the chamber. The magazine contained (five) live rounds. The selector switch was in the ‘fire’ position.”
The report added that Meyerin was transported to Advocate Condell Medical Center in Libertyville, where she was pronounced dead at 2:33 p.m., about an hour after Gurnee officers responded to a call about a suspicious car near Chittenden Park in a residential area on the village’s east side.

You can watch the police bodycam video of the incident:

 

What the video doesn’t explain is what happened before police were called to the “suspicious” vehicle, where Meyerin and her boyfriend were both passed out at a stop sign. They had been on a drug binge for weeks, and earlier that day were involved in another incident:

The first crime scene started in Antioch. Early Wednesday morning, investigators say they got reports of suspicious vehicle with a male driver and female passenger.
Covelli said, “The information they had is somebody was going door-to-door soliciting asking for money.”
When Antioch officers tried to conduct a traffic stop, the male driver refused and instead rammed the police squad car and sped away. But that’s not all.
“A witness reported that there were shots fired from the offending vehicle,” Covelli said.
[T]he car was later found at a residence in unincorporated Antioch where an eight-hour standoff took place before a man and woman were taken in for questioning.
Covelli said the man was not involved, but owned the car used in the incident.
The woman was the third passenger in the car.
As for the other two?
“They were able to flee the unincorporated Antioch residence prior to police officers arriving,” Covelli said. “The two of them subsequently entered a Toyota Prius. The Prius is owned by a relative of the male.” . . .
That white Prius was later spotted Wednesday afternoon in Gurnee where officers were called to respond to two unconscious people inside the car. Those two people have been identified as Meyerin and Jordan J. Huff, who rammed the police car earlier in the day.
Covelli said the Prius was stopped at a stop sign near the intersection of Harper and Gould for an extended period of time, forcing drivers to go around.
When paramedics arrived, they attempted to engage with the female driver, but she drove away with the unconscious man inside. She crashed into a Gurnee fire truck and crashed again at Chittenden Park near Route 41.
Meyerin then ran away leaving the male unconscious inside the car.
“He had symptoms very similar to overdose type symptoms,” said Covelli.
Authorities later found Meyerin standing in the southbound lanes of Route 41 waving a long barrel firearm . . .

More information from the report by the State’s Attorney:

Mr Huff stated that on May 23, 2018, he was with Makell Meyerin and another female in Antioch. He stated that Ms. Meyerin “hustled” a male for money. The three of them drove away in a Volkswagen. Moments later, the police attempted to stop their car. Mr. Huff, the driver, would not stop and was able to successfully elude the police. Upon arriving at Mr. Huff’s Antioch residence, the three individuals fled on foot.
According to Mr. Huff, he later met with Ms. Meyerin and went to Mr. Huff’s mother’s home. Huff and Meyerin took Huff’s uncle’s Prius.
Mr. Huff and Ms Meyerin drove to a Waukegan Motel. Mr. Huff and Ms. Meyerin began to ingest a number of different drugs. After taking those drugs, Mr. Huff stated he had no recollection of what occurred after that point.
Mr. Huff did say that he and Ms. Meyerin had been doing drugs for the last few days. He added that Ms. Meyerin had recently been suicidal.
Mr. Huff said that he only saw the long gun after he and Ms. Meyerin had gotten into the Prius.
Linda Meyerin is the mother of Makell Meyerin. Linda stated that she spoke to her daughter Makell by phone on the morning of May 23, 2018. Makell called Linda and stated that “somebody set up Jordan. I’ve gotta help him. I’m gone. I mean I’m dead.” Makell added that Linda would “see her on the news.”
According to Linda, Makell also asked whether the police had shown up looking for her. Makell did not tell Linda any other information. Makell then hung up the phone.
Linda then gave a little more background about Makell. Makell had been a heroin addict since she was 14 years old. A boyfriend had gotten her addicted to the drug. Makell was in and out of jail on a variety of offenses. When she would be arrested she would get clean. More recently, when she would be released from jail, she would re-unite with Jordan Huff and relapse into drug usage.
Makell’s brother Cory also indicated that Makell and Mr. Huff had been on a drug binge for the last several weeks in the Antioch area.

So she was “hustling” for drugs with her boyfriend, eluding police, ramming other vehicles, brandishing firearms — a menace to society.

If she had been black, I’m sure you probably would have seen her on CNN, with her relatives crying on camera about what a wonderful person she was while the civil-rights lawyer demanded justice. Then there would have been a “mostly peaceful protest” with arson and looting.

But she was white, and nobody cares. Just another dead junkie.




 

 

Rapper Killed by ‘Systemic Racism’ and Semiautomatic Pistol Fire, But Mainly …

Posted on Comments

. . . yeah, it was the pistols that killed him:

A well-known rapper was one of the people killed in a shooting outside an Atlanta hookah lounge early Friday morning.
The shooting happened around 4 a.m. outside of the Monaco Hookah Lounge on Trinity Avenue near Forsyth Street.
According to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, Dayvon Bennett, aka King Von and two others were shot and later died as a result of their injuries.
Investigators said Bennett and a group of men went to the downtown Atlanta location after leaving the Opium Nightclub where two men approached them in the parking lot and an argument began.
Police told FOX 5’s Emilie Ikeda the dispute became physical between two large groups of people. Guns were drawn, and the groups started shooting at each other, despite an APD patrol car parked in their line of sight, according to police.
“One of them was actually in his patrol car with his blue lights on, so visibility was there, but again the incident happened, so we’re hopeful that with the GBI assistance we can get to the bottom of everything,” said Deputy Chief Timothy Peek with Atlanta Police.
Two off-duty uniformed officers were working at the Monaco Hookah Lounge.
One of the off-duty officers along with an on-duty officer who was patrolling the area attempted to intervene, but Peek said the situation “continued to escalate with them being there.”
He confirmed both officers fired at the groups. It has not been determined if the officers struck any of the five people, but Peek said it is highly likely.
According to APD, Bennett was shot during the initial shootout between the two groups prior to police responding and attempting to stop the shooting. Bennett was not located at the scene, but arrived at a hospital shortly after the shooting, via private vehicle.

Here’s a question: Why was Chicago native Dayvon Bennett, a/k/a “King Von” in Atlanta? Because in addition to being a “well-known rapper,” he was a gangster, and between the police and rival gangsters gunning for him, his hometown was too dangerous for him. But of course, this young victim of “systemic racism” was not to blame for the criminal violence that surrounded him his entire life, up until he got shot to death.

Did I say “gangster”? Bennett’s grandfather was the co-founder of Chicago’s Black Gangster Disciples. Bennett was in and out of jail from the time he was a teenager. At 19, he was charged with first-degree murder, but “witnesses failed to testify” and he walked free in 2017. Two years later, Bennett was charged with attempted murder in Atlanta:

The attempted murder case against well-known rapper Lil Durk will be moving forward. That was the ruling of a Fulton County judge Friday.
The rapper, whose given name is Durk Derrick Bank, faces several felony charges in connection to a shooting at The Varsity including attempted murder.
Banks and his co-defendant, King Von, whose given name is Devon Bennett, huddled together in a Fulton County courtroom Friday for a probable cause hearing. Prosecutors said the two men robbed and shot a man outside popular Atlanta drive-in on February 5.
Prosecutors told the judge Alexander Witherspoon was shot outside the restaurant and his Jeep Cherokee and $30,000 in cash were stolen in a robbery. But attorneys for the rappers implied Witherspoon had a gun and their clients were defending themselves. . . .
Atlanta Police Detective Jeffrey Churchill said his department talked with two witnesses on the scene and secured surveillance tape from several Midtown businesses which showed the shooting. . . .
A Chicago police captain flew in for the hearing he told the court both were documented members of the notorious Black Disciples. Both are charged with attempted murder, aggravated assault and street gang activities among other charges.

Somehow, despite police having surveillance video of the robbery, Bennett and his gangster accomplice were out on the street where, coincidentally, they ended up in a gunfight outside a club at 4 a.m.

But I’m sure “systemic racism” must be to blame . . .




 

Sheriff Bob Wins Re-Election

Posted on

If you’re a fan of law enforcement, you know Sheriff Bob Gualtieri of Pinellas County, Florida. He is a veteran lawman who went to college and got a law degree, worked as a lawyer and then returned to the sheriff’s department as legal counsel and became chief deputy before being appointed sheriff by Gov. Rick Scott in 2011.

Pinellas County — St. Petersburg, Largo, Clearwater, across the bay from Tampa — had a serious problem with teenage car thieves. That problem got reduced slightly in 2017 when three of the juveniles died in a fiery crash in a stolen Ford Explorer:

The SUV ran through a red light — it was going 117 mph just 2½-seconds before impact, according to crash recovery data — and then collided with a 1999 Toyota Camry in the middle lane of U.S. 19 N, according to the Sheriff’s Office.
The Camry driver, Ricky Melendez Jr., was on his way to work.
The Explorer was sent airborne, crashed into five parked cars at a dealership and then struck a billboard pole 10 feet above the ground before tumbling to stop on Tampa Road.

Here is Sheriff Bob’s press conference about that incident:

 

This guy knows how to do a press conference. Anyway, some left-wing pest of a “social justice” Democrat ran against Sheriff Bob this year, and amid all the hype about high turnout, I worried that the sheriff might be in trouble, but he cruised to victory with a 25-point margin, 62%-37%. 

Y’know, I’m always looking for a dark-horse long-shot candidate, somebody with a populist “outsider” image like my late friend Herman Cain, and the current occupant of the White House. It’s kind of early to be talking about 2024, but if Sheriff Bob starts gaining a bit more of a national media profile over the next couple of years . . .

Well, never say never. Impossible things happen all the time.




 

Cop Shoots White Guy Named ‘Kevin’

Posted on Comments

Kevin Alan Smallman, 32, was a career criminal. Notice my use of the past tense verb “was.” Kevin assumed room temperature in January, with the assistance of a police officer in Chandler, Arizona.

Smallman had served time in prison for burglary and DUI, and after being released in 2017, he did not “go legit.” On Jan. 26, a police officer spotted a white Toyota Prius reported as stolen. The vehicle fled and escaped. The next day, the officer saw the stolen Toyota again in front of a Hampton Inn hotel; two people exited the vehicle and went into the hotel. The officer followed and confronted Smallman and his wife, Krystal Denean Ehrlich, 27, in the hotel lobby. Smallman “failed to comply,” as police say, refusing to provide identification and, when told he was being detained, took off running.

The officer gave chase, and Smallman ran — where else? — to the stolen Toyota, climbing in the driver’s seat. The officer opened the door and was trying to wrestle Smallman out of the car, and meanwhile Ehrlich had gotten into the backseat of the Toyota. Smallman started the car to make his getaway, with the cop wedged between him and the seat. In a bodycam video released by the police department, you see the struggle that ensued. Smallman took off with the cop hanging out the side of the stolen car, and the officer had no choice but to shoot the car thief in self-defense. The car rammed into a wall, the officer miraculously survived, and Smallman was pronounced dead at the scene.

 

Watching police bodycam footage has become a hobby for me — a strange choice of entertainment, perhaps, but a way to distract myself from the constant noise of politics. And the case of Kevin Smallman is rather typical of what are called “officer-involved shootings” (OIS).

Bad guys don’t cooperate with law enforcement, res ipsa loquitur. If you’re a convicted felon driving a stolen car, what are you going to do when a cop shows up and starts asking questions?

The smart thing to do would be to accept the reality — you got caught, and you’re going back to jail. Criminals aren’t really good decision-makers, however, and so the police encounter tends to escalate. First, the criminal lies — “Dindu nuffin” — and then he becomes non-compliant. He resists arrest, attacks the cop or tries to run away. If you’ve watched enough of these videos, the behavioral patterns become familiar.

Notice that Kevin had tattoos on his neck? Always a bad sign. Tattoos are a prerequisite for membership in the White Trash Criminals Club.

Not all people with tattoos are felons, but all felons have tattoos, and getting tattoos on your neck or face? Yep — might as well get the words “violating probation” tattooed on your forehead. It’s part of a behavioral pattern, as I say, and you will probably not be surprised to learn that after the cops carted Kevin Smallman’s corpse off to the morgue, they found meth and drug paraphernalia in the stolen car. The criminal’s widow, Krystal Ehrlich was charged with possession: “Court records show Ehrlich is homeless, and is currently on probation. She also has prior convictions for DUI, burglary, trafficking, narcotics possession, and drug paraphernalia possession.” Real classy people.

There were no protests over the police shooting of Kevin Smallman. No celebrities paid attention to this incident. Smallman got no coverage on CNN. Nobody cares when cops shoot a white criminal. There is no “social justice” angle, no political advantage to be gained, and so the death of Kevin Smallman was just a local news story.

Oh, and if Joe Biden is elected president? “Black Lives Matter” will disappear from the headlines. The only purpose of calling national attention to the deaths of George Floyd, Rayshard Brooks, Jacob Blake, etc., was to “energize” black voters for Democrats in an election year, to dramatize the “systemic racism” issue to help Joe Biden. And once he takes office, everything will go back to business as usual for the media.




 

Media Promotes BLM Lies in Philadelphia, as Rioting Continues for the Second Night

Posted on Comments

Looting is already being reported in Philadelphia tonight, the second night of #BlackLivesMatter riots following the Monday afternoon police shooting of 27-year-old Walter Wallace Jr. In last night’s Mostly Peaceful™ Protest, “76 people were arrested for burglary including three with guns, 11 were arrested for assaulting police officers, and three were arrested for failure to disperse,” according to WPVI-TV.

Why riot over this case? Wallace was shot after he charged two police officers while brandishing an 8-inch knife. This was not the first time cops had to deal with Wallace, nor even the first time that day:

Police were called dozens of times in recent months about problems at Walter Wallace Jr.’s home, and had responded twice on Monday to reports of disturbances at the West Philadelphia house before two officers answered a third call and shot him as he approached them with a knife, according to law enforcement sources.
What happened during those earlier visits — including which officers responded and how much they knew about Wallace’s mental health problems — remained unclear Tuesday.

Yes, a lot “remained unclear” about what happened Monday, except that a knife-wielding maniac got shot by cops. While the media keeps repeating the theme that Wallace suffered from “mental health problems,” lots of people have problems, but they usually don’t get shot by cops. Why? Because they don’t charge at cops with 8-inch knives.

Who was Walter Wallace Jr.? You have to read down to the 13th paragraph of the Philadelphia Inquirer story to find out:

In and out of court since he was 19, Wallace had convictions for crimes including resisting arrest and robbery. Court records show that city judges routinely sought to get him mental health treatment.

Oh, he had “convictions for crimes”? Maybe that’s a fact important enough to include in a headline, as Information Liberation does:

Meet Walter Wallace Jr, The Career Criminal
Whose Shooting by Police Triggered Riots in Philly

There’s some brutal for you, and maybe people would take a different view of the subject if they understood that Walter Wallace Jr. has been a violent menace to society his entire life. But the mainstream media won’t give you that kind of context, forcing you to read through a dozen or more paragraphs before they inform you that the lunatic who charged cops with a knife had an extensive criminal record. Would you like to see the suspect’s mug shot? How about 12 mug shots?

As Chris Menahan of Information Liberation says, Wallace “has so many mugshots I couldn’t fit them all into one properly-sized header image . . . Wallace had a criminal record going so far back I can’t even find the whole thing.” Charged in 2015 with aggravated assault and four misdemeanors, Wallace took a plea bargain, pleading guilty to two misdemeanors — terrorist threats and simple assault — and was sentenced to three years’ probation. You might think this was important, but here’s the lead of the story at WCAU-TV, the NBC affiliate in Philadelphia:

A day after he was shot and killed by two police officers, sparking protests and a night of civil unrest in Philadelphia, family members of Walter Wallace Jr. are speaking out, describing him as a husband, father and aspiring musician who struggled with mental health issues.

An “aspiring musician who struggled with mental health issues”! The guy was practically Mozart, you might believe from that description, but if you keep reading until you get to the 21st paragraph:

Court records also reveal Wallace’s extensive criminal history.
He was arrested in March after he allegedly threatened his child’s mother over the phone, saying “I’ll shoot you and that house up.”
In 2019, he was charged with resisting arrest by “kicking the windows and door panels of a police patrol car.”
In 2016, during a robbery, he allegedly grabbed a woman by the neck and held what she believed to be a gun to her head, according to court records.
In 2013, Wallace’s mother had a protective order against him which he allegedly violated when he “threw water in her face and punched her in the face” and “threatened to return and shoot” her, according to court records.

He punched his own mother in the face, but you wouldn’t know that unless you read more than 20 paragraphs into the story. Never mind — go steal a big-screen TV at Wal-Mart, because social justice.

 




 

Store Security Guard Stabbed by Sisters After Asking Them to Wear Masks

Posted on Comments

Jessica Hill, 21, and her sister Jayla Hill, 18, were arrested Sunday after they attacked a security guard in a shoe store on the West Side of Chicago. The sisters were not wearing masks, as required under the city’s COVID-19 policy. The guard was stabbed repeatedly:

After refusing requests to wear face masks or use hand sanitizer inside a North Lawndale neighborhood store, two sisters allegedly attacked a male employee, stabbing him more than two dozen times Sunday evening.
A Cook County judge on Tuesday denied bond for Jessica Hill, 21, and Jayla Hill, 18, who are each charged with attempted murder after one sister allegedly held the victim down by his hair as the other stabbed him in the chest and body 27 times.
The incident began around 6 p.m. Sunday at a store in the 3200 block of West Roosevelt Road.
According to Cook County prosecutors, upon their arrival, the victim asked the Hill sisters to put on masks and use hand sanitizer to help protect against the spread of COVID-19. But the pair refused and an argument turned violent when Jessica Hill allegedly pulled out a concealed knife.
The sisters were seen striking him with a trash can before Jayla Hill held the man by his hair and Jessica Hill stabbed him repeatedly, according to prosecutors. They then continued the assault by allegedly kicking him as he fell to the ground. . . .
Upon reading the arrest report, Cook County Judge Mary Catherine Marubio said she initially assumed this was a domestic-related attack based on the “emotion” that number of stab wounds involved.
But as this went “from zero to 100 in such a short period of time” and involved a total stranger, Marubio saw no set of conditions that could protect the victim or the public other than denying bond.
“It’s the complete randomness of this,” she said, calling that the “defining” evidence leading her to deny bond. “That’s terrifying for a community.”

Let’s face it — they’re Biden voters. No one is safe from such people. 

But asking them to wear masks . . . Well, Perseus and the Gorgon, eh?
