Teenagers seem to be doing a seminar lately on this topic. For example, carjacking people at gunpoint? What do you think the odds are that a teenage boy is going to get away with this crime? He’s not an experienced driver, whereas the cops have logged many hours of training in pursuit tactics, with radio communications to assist them. And when the cops catch you, knowing that you have just used a firearm to commit a felony, do you think they they’ll leave their pistols in their holsters?
No, boy, you’re going to be confronted by cops with guns drawn screaming: “Let me see your hands! Let me see your hands!”
Police shot and wounded two teens suspected of stealing a car at gunpoint [Sept. 13] in Phoenix, sending them to the hospital in critical condition, according to authorities.
Phoenix police responded to an armed robbery call at about 8:45 p.m. at an apartment complex near Northern and 31st avenues, police spokesperson Sgt. Maggie Cox said in a statement on Monday.
The victim reported to police that two unknown males approached him in his apartment complex parking lot with a handgun and demanded his vehicle. After he surrendered his vehicle, the two males drove away.
Two officers traveling north on 29th Avenue found the stolen vehicle stopped in traffic near Dunlap Avenue, Cox said.
The officers exited their patrol car and approached the suspects, motioning for the driver of the car to remain stopped. Cox said the driver initially complied, but then he allegedly accelerated toward the officer at the front of the car.
Both officers fired their guns, according to Cox, hitting the driver, a 15-year-old boy, and the passenger, a 16-year-old boy.
The driver of the car continued south, and police officers followed toward the area of 29th and Northern avenues, where the passenger got out of the front seat. Police gave verbal commands to the driver, and when he did not comply, a K9 handler fired pepper balls into the vehicle “to ensure the vehicle was safe to approach,” Cox said. Finally, the driver got out of the car.
The two boys were treated by Phoenix Fire Department personnel and taken to a hospital in critical condition.
The 16-year-old was released from the hospital on [Sept. 14] and booked into a juvenile correction center in connection with the armed robbery, while the 15-year-old driver was still in critical condition as of [Sept. 14], according to Phoenix police spokesperson Sgt. Maggie Cox. . . .
Police said a handgun was found in the stolen vehicle.
Plot twist: It was two white kids!
It’s nice to have an opportunity to highlight white teenagers getting shot by the cops. No protest marches. No NBA players kneeling. No mention of these victims of “excessive force” on CNN. Cops can shoot as many white perps as they want, and nobody cares. Just a local crime story.
Portland Police arrested a man early Saturday after they said he slashed two people with a knife in Downtown Portland.
Central Precinct officers were called to the area of SW 13th Avenue and SW Columbia Street around 2:00 a.m. on reports someone trying to stab people passing by. Upon their arrival, officers found two victims with serious cuts; one person had a cut on the arm, the other person’s cut was on the ear.
Witnesses say they saw a confrontation between the man with a knife and the victim at the corner of SW 13th and Columbia. At one point, the victim ran behind some shrubs in an effort to put a small tree in between themselves and the suspect. Witnesses said the victim was bleeding at that point.
Suspect: 29-year-old Hillsboro resident Travis Sadler. (MCSO)
Witnesses believe that the person with the arm injury was the initial victim, and the other person cut on the ear had tried to stop the suspect by grabbing or tackling him. The victim with the arm injury was taken to a hospital for treatment. Both injuries are considered non-life-threatening.
One neighbor also said they believed others tried to step in to stop the attack and were nicked in the process, but didn’t stick around to talk to police officers.
Officers arrested the suspect without further incident. The suspect was identified as 29-year-old Hillsboro resident Travis Sadler, according to police. He faces charges of assault and the unlawful use of a weapon.
The Atlanta Police Department announced it arrested a suspect wanted for stabbing five individuals in four separate incidents.
According to a news release, Sept. 28 at about 11:10 a.m., officers responded to a 911 call about a person being stabbed in the area of 2456 Martin L King Jr. Drive in southwest Atlanta. Once they arrived, they found two adult males who were stabbed in the neck.
Just minutes after that, officers were dispatched following another 911 call about a person being stabbed nearby at 2680 Martin L King Jr. Drive. There they discovered a third adult male with a stab wound. “Officers searched the area but were unable to locate a suspect,” the release stated. “The description from both locations was very similar and investigators believed the same person stabbed all three of these victims.”
Sept. 29 at about 9 a.m. officers were called to 424 Decatur St. in southeast Atlanta, near the King Memorial MARTA station, following a 911 call about another individual being stabbed. There they found the victim, a 60-year-old male, with a serious stab wound.
“The officers on scene also learned that MARTA (Police) was investigating an incident that occurred nearby in which another victim was stabbed. Officers were searching the area when a witness pointed out the suspect. The suspect fled when police approached, and after a short foot pursuit officers from (Atlanta) and MARTA (police) apprehended 32-year-old Ahmad Jameel Rasheed.”
According to the police, the suspect description in the Sept. 29 crimes closely matched the description of the suspect from the previous day’s attacks.
“Because of the seriousness of the repeated attacks the APD homicide unit has taken over the investigation and is actively working to confirm whether the same person committed these crimes,” the release stated. “Once detectives can evaluate the evidence an updated statement will released.”
All five stabbing victims are expected to survive.
According to Fulton County jail records, Rasheed was arrested July 25 and charged with felony theft by taking but released Aug. 15.
Police in Arlington have arrested an 18-year-old for aggravated robbery and believe he may be involved in other violent crimes in the area.
Surveillance video was released from the incident on Monday at a 7-Eleven in southeast Arlington involving the suspect, Osagie Ayanru. Police said he allegedly stabbed a store clerk during a robbery even though she complied.
The video also shows the suspect appearing to stomp on her and kick her while she was on the ground before he ran away.
Police believe Ayanru may be connected to an attack on Wednesday, where a couple was stabbed and robbed while walking in the 6400 block of South Collins Street.
The two victims were taken to the hospital, but one of them, later identified as 47-year-old Islam Sahmi Duly, died from his injuries.
Police said they also believe the suspect stole a vehicle from the same 7-Eleven store on Wednesday before the couple was attacked.
According to police, they believe the suspect was driving away from scene of the attack on Wednesday when the car he was in hit a woman who was walking her dog in the 900 block of Southeast Parkway.
A suspect jumped out of the car and tried to rob the woman, police said. Her dog was killed in the crash.
According to police, the woman told investigators she could hear someone yelling, “grab her wallet, grab her wallet,” as she lied on the ground.
Police said they are still investigating if there are other suspects involved.
Ayanru was arrested after police said the store clerk who was attacked was shown a picture and was able to recognize him.
He is charged with aggravated robbery and theft of a vehicle.
Be careful out there. Murderous psychopaths with knives are everywhere.
A 62-year-old Bradenton man who says he wanted to “test the system” has been arrested on a voter fraud charge after he tried to obtain a mail-in ballot for his late wife, according to the Manatee County Sheriff’s Office.
The election supervisor’s office contacted the sheriff’s office Sept. 17, after receiving a mail-ballot request in the name of a woman who has been dead for about two years.
Supervisor of Elections Mike Bennett said his staff reviews the voter rolls for each mail-in ballot request and it was discovered the woman was deceased. They then determined that Larry Wiggins forged his late wife’s name on the ballot request.
Wiggins told deputies that he was “testing the system to see if worked.”
Bennett said indeed it does.
“Our message is that the Manatee County Supervisor of Elections will prosecute any attempt at voter fraud. If you are caught, we are committed to prosecute,” Bennett said.
Bennett said such attempts are rare in Manatee County.
Bennett said it could not be determined who Wiggins was supporting in the Nov. 3 election because the ballots were never sent after realizing one of the request was fraudulent.
According to the sheriff’s office, detectives were able to develop probable cause based on the evidence and Wiggins admitting to what he had done.
On Sept. 22, the case was sent to the state attorney’s office, which on Monday agreed to prosecute. Wiggins was arrested at his home without incident and booked into the Manatee County jail on Thursday.
Just another Democrat, seeking to enfranchise the dead.
Actor Rick Moranis was attacked while walking in New York City on Thursday, Fox News can confirm.
The “Honey, I Shrunk the Kids” star, 67, was sucker-punched by an unknown assailant while walking on a sidewalk near New York’s Central Park, a rep for the star confirmed to Fox News on Friday.
“Rick Moranis was assaulted on the Upper West Side yesterday. He is fine but grateful for everyone’s thoughts and well wishes,” the rep said in a statement.
Surveillance video shows a man wearing a black “I (heart) NY” sweatshirt and a backpack hitting Moranis and knocking him to the ground at approximately 7:24 a.m. Thursday.
The attack happened just a few blocks from the Central Park West apartment building where Moranis’ “Ghostbusters” character lived in the movie.
Moranis took himself to the hospital and later went to a police station to report the incident, a law enforcement official told the Associated Press.
Police released surveillance video of the assault in seeking the public’s help to find the attacker but did not name Moranis as the victim because of privacy concerns. Police describe the incident as a “random unprovoked assault.”
What’s the Knockout Game? Just what it sounds like. You find a target walking down the street, usually someone elderly and white, and you try to knock him or her out with a single punch. Maybe your friends are recording it, so they can post it to social media and the cops will have an easier time catching you. It’s considered funny, at least among scumbags who enjoy watching old people in pain. It’s committing hate crimes to entertain stupid cowards.
And it’s not racist because the victims are usually white.
Our moral, ethical, and intellectual betters in the press inform us that the Knockout Game doesn’t really exist. It’s a “phony panic” and a “myth.” No matter how many times it happens, no matter how many innocent people are beaten in the street, there’s absolutely no connection. It’s completely random. If you suspect otherwise, that just proves how much of a racist you are. . . .
Maybe now that it’s happened to someone famous, people will start taking it seriously.
This kind of anti-white violence is sufficiently common (though ignored or dismissed by the media) that when Democrats accuse white people of complicity in “systemic racism,” it arouses a reaction of disbelief. Criminal violence and racial hostility have turned America’s major cities into “no-go zones” for white people. We’ll get to statistics in a minute, but first, New York Post columnist Kyle Smith with some recent examples:
Aug. 23: A 66-year-old man was walking west on West 129th Street when a man came up and smashed him on the back of the head several times with a bottle. July 27: A 68-year-old woman standing on the L train platform at Sixth Avenue and 14th Street was kicked and struck by a man who then pushed her onto the tracks. “Being that he called her a ‘cracker,’ we are thinking it’s just because she’s white,” said the victim’s daughter. July 17: An 89-year-old woman walking near 16th Avenue and 77th Street in Bensonhurst was slapped by two men who came up behind her. One of them set her shirt on fire with a match or lighter. June 12: A 92-year-old woman hit her head on a fire hydrant after a man passing by casually shoved her to the ground near Gramercy Park. “When they helped me up, I said ‘What happened’ because I didn’t even know what happened. It was completely out of the blue,” the woman said. Rashid Brimmage, 31, of the Bronx, was later charged in the attack, the 103rd time he’d been arrested in New York City. June 10: A 78-year-old woman walking in Bushwick was struck in the head by a man walking by. Video of the incident showed the man reacting as though he was the victim of an offense.
OK, that’s five incidents in a span of about 10 weeks in a city of 8 million people — perhaps not statistically significant. But the national media, which endlessly promotes Black Lives Matter propaganda in relation to a similarly insignificant number of police shootings, ignores black-on-white violence. The media’s distorted and one-sided depiction of racial violence is extremely dangerous. Ever heard of “Radio Genocide”?
Radio Télévision Libre des Mille Collines (RTLM) was a Rwandan radio station which broadcast from July 8, 1993 to July 31, 1994. It played a significant role in inciting the April–July 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi. . . .
Widely listened to by the general population, it projected hate propaganda against Tutsis, moderate Hutus, Belgians, and the United Nations mission UNAMIR. It is widely regarded by many Rwandan citizens (a view also shared and expressed by the UN war crimes tribunal) as having played a crucial role in creating the atmosphere of charged racial hostility that allowed the genocide to occur. A working paper published at Harvard University found that RTLM broadcasts were an important part of the process of mobilising the population, which complemented the mandatory Umuganda meetings. RTLM has been described as “radio genocide”, “death by radio” and “the soundtrack to genocide.”
What the media and Democratic politicians are doing, in promoting BLM’s “systemic racism” narrative, amounts to anti-white hate propaganda. White people are being demonized the way RTLM demonized the Tutsis in Rwanda. This is being done for political purposes, to rally black support for Democrats in their effort to defeat President Trump. The riots we have seen in city after city show how effective this hate propaganda has been in persuading many thousands of black people that violence is necessary to achieve “racial justice.”
The national media often fails to mention that black Americans are vastly overrepresented among perpetrators of hate crimes—by 50 percent—according to recent Justice Department data from 2017; whites are underrepresented by 24 percent. . . .
Additionally, black Americans commit hate crimes at a rate that is three times higher than whites per 100,000 according to FBI crime data from 2016 and 2017. . . .
Black nationalists are also vastly more likely to commit an attack than white nationalists are. . . .
Kori Ali Muhammad mortally wounded three white males during a targeted shooting spree in Fresno, California, on April 18, 2017. According to his social media posts, Muhammad expressed a strong dislike toward “white people” as well as government officials. He made reference to “a race war against whites,” the evils of “white devils” and being a “black soldier.”
David N. Anderson, 47, and Francine Graham, 50 killed six people in Jersey City, targeting a kosher Jewish market. Authorities also suspected that the two assailants may have been involved in a separate killing in neighboring Bayonne, N.J., according to New Jersey’s attorney general, Gurbir S. Grewal.
Micah Xavier Johnson, who killed five police officers in Dallas, was increasingly drawn to black nationalist ideology and attended several meetings of the People’s New Black Panther Party.
Gavin Eugene Long, who killed three officers in Baton Rouge, said he belonged to the Washitaw Nation, an obscure black nationalist group that claims ownership to the huge swath of the United States obtained in the Louisiana Purchase on the belief that they are descended from a U.S. indigenous group.
According to the department of homeland security, from 2015 through 2019, black Americans are over-represented by 19.4% in domestic extremist attacks, while white Americans are under-represented by 32% in domestic extremist attacks. . . .
Black Americans make up only 13% of the American population, yet made up over 32% of the domestic extremist attacks from 2015 to 2019. White Americans make up 62% of the population, yet during the same time period accounted for 29% of the domestic extremist attacks.
When you take account of the different size of the two groups, this puts these hate-crime numbers into perspective. If “hate” (however defined) were equally distributed among the two groups, you would expect whites to commit about 4.8 hate crimes for every hate crime committed by blacks. But what do the actual statistics show?
It is now a standard trope, implanted in freshmen summer reading lists through the works of Ta-Nehesi Coates and others, that whites pose a severe, if not mortal, threat to blacks. . . . Just this month, the Bureau of Justice Statistics released its 2018 survey of criminal victimization. According to the study, there were 593,598 interracial violent victimizations (excluding homicide) between blacks and whites last year, including white-on-black and black-on-white attacks. Blacks committed 537,204 of those interracial felonies, or 90 percent, and whites committed 56,394 of them, or less than 10 percent. That ratio is becoming more skewed, despite the Democratic claim of Trump-inspired white violence. In 2012-13, blacks committed 85 percent of all interracial victimizations between blacks and whites; whites committed 15 percent. From 2015 to 2018, the total number of white victims and the incidence of white victimization have grown as well. Blacks are also overrepresented among perpetrators of hate crimes — by 50 percent — according to the most recent Justice Department data from 2017; whites are underrepresented by 24 percent. This is particularly true for anti-gay and anti-Semitic hate crimes.
You would never know such facts from the media or from Democratic talking points.
Do you see that what the national media have been telling America about racial violence is the exact opposite of truth? This mirror-image distortion is not accidental; it has a political motive.
It is important to keep in mind that (a) most violent crimes are not interracial, (b) black people are the most likely to be victims of violent crime, and (c) even a half-million black-on-white crimes a year is a comparatively small number in a nation with more than 40 million black people and nearly 200 million white people. That is to say, most Americans (white or black) are neither perpetrators nor victims of violent crime, and actual “hate crimes” are rare. Just as I, as a white person, would not wish to be smeared as complicit in the crimes of Dylann Roof, neither should innocent black people be blamed as complicit in relatively rare instances of anti-white hate crimes. The problem we have is that our politicians and media establishment are afraid to tell people the truth about race and crime in America. Why? Democrats know that the truth about crime would undermine their ability to use fear-based appeals to generate support among black Americans, and Republicans are afraid of being called “racist” if they tell the truth.
Now that the “knockout game” has targeted a celebrity, perhaps Americans will demand that our so-called “leaders” start telling truth. Otherwise, we run the risk of becoming a gigantic Rwanda.
That’s Tim Pool talking about a CNN segment in which Anderson Cooper expressed shock over talk of a potential civil war in America. Tim’s channel has 1.1 million subscribers, whereas Anderson Cooper averages about 1.4 million viewers nightly. In other words, a guy with a YouTube channel has an audience almost as big as CNN’s prime-time “star.”
If you watch enough police chase videos on YouTube, you find yourself developing a thorough hatred of these lunatics who endanger the lives of others — and tie up traffic for hours — by their madcap vehicular misadventures. You begin watching a chase through L.A. (where such pursuits seem to be more or less routine) and find yourself hoping that the driver either dies in a disastrous crash or is shot to death by cops.
So I was watching YouTube of this 2018 chase from Arizona, which went for 60 miles, and ended in Tempe. The cops had backed off, letting a police helicopter track the suspect, while unmarked cars positioned themselves to box him in when he eventually exited the freeway. After the cops finally surrounded him, however, the suspect managed to drive out of the trap and took off at high-speed near the Arizona State University campus until — BOOM! — he hit another vehicle head-on:
Say hello to Mitchell Timothy Taebel, “sovereign citizen.” If you don’t know what that means, this is from the Wikipedia entry:
The sovereign citizen movement is a loose grouping of American litigants, commentators, tax protesters, and financial-scheme promoters. Self-described “sovereign citizens” see themselves as answerable only to their particular interpretations of the common law and as not subject to any government statutes or proceedings. In the United States, they do not recognize U.S. currency and maintain that they are “free of any legal constraints.” . . .
In surveys conducted in 2014 and 2015, representatives of U.S. law enforcement ranked the risk of terrorism from the sovereign-citizen movement higher than the risk from any other group, including Islamic extremists, militias, racists, and neo-Nazis.
These kooks are particularly dangerous to law-enforcement officers, considering any attempt to arrest them as illegitimate. While he was leading police on a 40-mile chase, Mitch Taebel called 911 to complain police were “trying to stop me without probable cause”:
“According to federal law you are allowed to resist unreasonable arrest. I just want to say so I’m not stopping. There seems to be a criminal conspiracy amongst the police to stop people without probable cause. And it’s unreasonable. It’s against federal law. Against, uh, 18 USC section 242 and section 241. I’m not stopping the vehicle.”
The word for this is crazy. If you get pulled over by the cops, you’re entitled to your day in court, and if you believe the arrest was “unreasonable,” the judge will hear your argument. Generally speaking, however, it’s impossible to “win” a traffic case, and most people just pay the ticket because most people are not crazy. Only crazy people could possibly believe they’re going to gain anything by telling cops about their imaginary “right” to resist arrest. You will probably not be surprised to learn that Mitch Taebel gave a remarkable press conference at the jail:
“It’s absolutely legal to resist arrest with force, to the extent of taking an officer’s life if necessary.”
Anti-government statements that police say were made by a man arrested after a crash ended a Phoenix-area car chase stemmed from mental health issues, not political beliefs, the man’s defense lawyer said Thursday.
Mitchell Timothy Taebel of Long Beach, Indiana, and Los Angeles remained jailed on suspicion of endangerment, aggravated assault, unlawful flight and other crimes after being arrested following the crash Wednesday in Tempe on a street near Arizona State University’s main campus. . . .
Asked about the anti-government statements, defense attorney Brian Russo said, “I think it’s more that he’s been previously diagnosed with some mental health issues and they have not been addressed. I don’t think it’s one political issue or another. That’s not what is driving this.”
Russo said he couldn’t provide details on the mental health diagnosis. “We do know from the family he was being treated, he was seeing someone,” the attorney said.
There are different kinds of crazy, some of which are less dangerous than others. Documents filed by his attorney said Taebel was expelled from Arizona State University for “seriously disruptive and odd behavior.” Did I mention Taebel had an extensive criminal record?
Taebel’s personal website states that the U.S. Department of Justice is “unconstitutional” and links to an Indiana court record from earlier this month showing that Taebel sued the government for prohibiting marijuana use.
The document deemed marijuana prohibition unconstitutional.
In a Jan. 5 Facebook post, Taebel asked his followers if they would be interested in joining his effort to sue the government for a wrongful prohibition of cannabis. . . .
Taebel’s website also linked to a November 2017 letter he addressed to all United States governors which states that the Department of Justice is unconstitutional. . . .
Taebel also addressed a Nov. 7, 2017, letter to U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions, where he wrote that “the time has come to revolutionize societal standards of law enforcement.” . . .
Court documents on Taebel’s website describe several lawsuits both filed by and against him.
One of the records was a complaint filed by Taebel against the Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office saying that he was pulled over by officers without probable cause.
Another record features a December 2017 letter written by Taebel to Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval with a complaint that officers used “excessive … and entirely unnecessary force” while arresting him on an assault charge in Las Vegas.
Taebel also posted documents appealing an assault conviction levied against him for punching a doorman at a New York City apartment building in 2011.
Taebel said he punched Frank Martoni in self-defense after Martoni blocked him from entering an elevator and saying Taebel did not have permission to be in the building.
Taebel was staying with his girlfriend, Raquel Toro, at the time of the incident, according to documents he posted. Toro wrote an affidavit to the court saying she had received written permission from building management for Taebel to stay in the apartment.
Toro urged prosecutors to throw out the case against Taebel.
Court papers that Taebel filed earlier in December 2017 in the U.S. District Court of Arizona alleged that he was denied an application for an apartment in Arizona on the basis of his previous charges; he asked for $500 million in damages.
To give you the full story — because you want all the craziness, right? — I find myself compelled to quote the SPLC:
Two days before the [2018 Arizona] chase, Taebel cited [18 USC section 242] when he filed a complaint bringing a “claim against violations of the second amendment” in the U.S. District Court of California in Los Angeles. The complaint named [New York Supreme] Court Justice Michael Sonberg as a defendant and asked for $1 billion in damages.
Justice Sonberg convicted Taebel of 2nd and 3rd degree aggravated assault in May, 2013. The latter is a felony and took away Taebel’s ability to possess firearms. The charges stemmed from an incident where Taebel punched the doorman at his girlfriend’s New York apartment building for not allowing him up to her residence. At one point during the case, Taebel chose to represent himself and cross-examine the victim.
Continuing to claim self-defense, despite eye witness testimony to the contrary, Taebel has attempted to have the judgement vacated by filing frivolous lawsuits against the Department of Justice and the United States of America, among others
On April 26, 2016, the judgement against him was affirmed, but Taebel’s experience left him questioning the rule of law and refusing to follow it. It also left him fixated on the idea that police officers could be killed if his rights were violated, which he repeatedly believes has happened, even when his actions are considered criminal by law enforcements standards.
In January 2018, Taebel included Statute 242 in a civil complaint he filed against the City of Los Angeles District Attorney’s office. In it, he claimed that his rights were violated after he was arrested in April 2013 for attempting lewd and unlawful acts against an aspiring porn star in the Los Angeles valley. The woman alleged that after having a conversation with Taebel at a gas station about her possible new career, he followed her to a nearby parking lot and tried to pull her into his vehicle for the purpose of a sexual encounter. The case against him was dropped on December 5, 2016, though he remained upset to enough file the complaint two years later, ask for $1 billion in recompense, writing in it that the “arresting officer should be executed by law.”
If you’ve ever filed a $1 billion lawsuit pro se? You’re crazy.
A man has been charged in connection with the ambush shooting of two Los Angeles County Sheriff’s deputies earlier this month in Compton.
Sheriff Alex Villanueva and L.A. County District Attorney Jackie Lacey announced the arrest of Deonte Lee Murray at a news conference Wednesday morning at LASD headquarters in downtown L.A.
The 36-year-old Murray has been charged with two counts each of premediated attempted murder of a peace officer and possession of a firearm by a felon. His photo is not being released to protect the ongoing investigation. He is being arraigned Wednesday.
Murray was arrested on Sept. 15, three days after the deputies were shot, but in connection with an unrelated carjacking and shooting which had occurred in Compton on Sept. 1, Lacey said. Forensic evidence later linked him to the shooting of the two deputies.
A ghost gun used in the shooting of the deputies was recovered by investigators, sheriff’s Capt. Kent Wegener told reporters.
Furthermore, Murray fled the scene of the deputies’ shooting in a black Mercedes Benz sedan, the same vehicle which Murray had carjacked on Sept. 1, Wegener revealed.
On the evening of Sept. 12, the two sheriff’s deputies who were shot in an unprovoked ambush while sitting in their patrol car in Compton.
The deputies were in their patrol vehicle parked outside the Metro Compton Blue Line station at Willowbrook Avenue and Elm Street when a lone suspect approached the front passenger side of the car and opened fire, wounding them both. . . .
In the Sept. 1 carjacking, which occurred on Bradfield Avenue in Compton, Murray shot a man in the leg with a high powered rifle and stole his Mercedes, Wegener disclosed. . . .
Murray was arrested Sept. 15 following a 10-hour standoff. At around 11:30 a.m. on Sept. 15, detectives located Murray, but he fled in a 2006 Toyota Solara. During the pursuit, he threw a pistol from the car.
He then ditched the car in the 3100 block of Carlin Avenue in Lynwood and ran. Law enforcement officers swarmed the area. Several hours later, just before 10 p.m., Murray was found hiding in some bushes and was apprehended, Wagener said.
Meanwhile, the stolen Mercedes Benz was also found nearby.
Wegener said that ballistic and forensic evidence from the scene of the deputy ambush linked it to the ghost gun which Murray had thrown from the car during the chase.
“It was determined through ballistic comparison, that the pistol recovered was the pistol used to shoot the deputies, additionally that pistol was conclusively linked through forensic testing to suspect Deonte Murray,” Wagener said Wednesday. . . .
Along with the charges in the ambush, Murray has also been charged with one count of attempted murder in connection with the Sept. 1 carjacking, along with second-degree robbery and assault with a semiautomatic firearm. He also faces allegations of association with a criminal street gang, discharging a rifle inflicting great bodily injury and personal use of a rifle.
Murray has an extensive criminal history that includes convictions for sales of narcotics, firearm possession by a felon, burglary and terrorist threats.
See? People don’t usually begin their criminal careers with murder. No, they start small — a robbery here, a burglary there — and cycle in and out of the criminal justice system for a few years until, one day, they commit a heinous atrocity. Then everybody looks at their arrest records and says, “Why wasn’t this monster already behind bars?”
Well, let’s hope Deonte Lee Murray never gets another chance.
A ballot-harvesting racket in Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar’s Minneapolis district — where paid workers illegally gather absentee ballots from elderly Somali immigrants — appears to have been busted by undercover news organization Project Veritas.
One alleged ballot harvester, Liban Mohamed, the brother of Minneapolis city council member Jamal Osman, is shown in a bombshell Snapchat video rifling through piles of ballots strewn across his dashboard.
“Just today we got 300 for Jamal Osman,” says Mohamed, aka KingLiban1, in the video. “I have 300 ballots in my car right now . . .
“Numbers don’t lie. You can see my car is full. All these here are absentee ballots. . . . Look, all these are for Jamal Osman,” he says, displaying the white envelopes.
“Money is the king in this world . . . and a campaign is driven by money.”
The video, posted on July 1, was obtained by Project Veritas and included in a 17-minute video expose released Sunday night.
Under Minnesota law no individual can be the “designated agent” for more than three absentee voters. . . .
“Our investigation into this ballot harvesting ring demonstrates clearly how these unscrupulous operators exploit the elderly and immigrant communities” said James O’Keefe, founder and CEO of Project Veritas.
The alleged involvement of Ilhan Omar, a controversial member of the Squad, and frequent Trump target, is claimed on camera by two people in Veritas’ investigation, including whistleblower Omar Jamal, a Minneapolis community leader and chair of the city’s Somali Watchdog Group.
He claims Mohamed is “one of” Ilhan Omar’s “many people.”
“It’s an open secret. She will do anything that she can do to get elected and she has hundreds of people on the streets doing that,” he told Veritas in an on-camera interview last Tuesday.
“It’s not only her. It’s all this DFL [Democratic-Farmers-Labor] machine [that’s] in . . . the state of Minnesota . . .
“The regulations, if you ignore that and you let corruption and fraud become a daily business and then tough luck, the country will not exist as they [Americans] know it.” . . .
But don’t worry, we can trust Democrats counting the votes, right?
Three Chicago men were arrested for Armed Robbery and other offenses following an incident in Joliet [Feb. 15].
According to the Joliet Police Department, officers arrested 43-year-old Tirnell Williams, 27-year-old Blaine Goodall and 44-year-old Tobert Walls for Armed Robbery.
Goodall and Walls were additionally charged in the incident with Aggravated Unlawful Restraint, Unlawful Use of a Weapon by a Felon, Unlawful Use of a Weapon by a Street Gang Member and Possession of a Stolen Vehicle; Goodall was also charged with Aggravated Fleeing and Eluding.
Officers responded to a business in the 2900 blk. of W. Jefferson St. at around 12:44 p.m. in reference to a hold-up alarm.
Responding officers were informed by staff that the store had just been robbed.
Two masked subjects armed with handguns allegedly entered the store and tied up everyone inside. The suspects then took numerous iPhones, iPads and an undetermined amount of cash from the register.
The suspects left the store and fled in an awaiting vehicle; no one inside the store was injured in the incident.
Officers located the vehicle near Bronk Rd. and Theodore St. and initiated a traffic stop. The vehicle refused to pull over and officers began a pursuit.
Officials say the vehicle eventually got onto I-55 and fled at a high rate of speed. Officers lost sight of the vehicle and gave out a description to area law enforcement agencies.
A Will County Sheriff’s Deputy located the vehicle in the 15000 blk. of Janas Dr. in Lockport a short time later.
Officials say Walls was outside the vehicle and allegedly took off running when the deputy confronted him. Walls was taken into custody following the foot pursuit.
The vehicle allegedly took off again and was later located stuck in a snow bank in the 14000 blk. of W. Hickory Ave. in Lemont.
Williams was taken into custody without incident inside of the vehicle . . .
Two firearms were recovered, along with the proceeds of the robbery. Officials say the vehicle used was reported stolen out of Indiana.
Steal a car to use in an armed robbery. The wheelman in this caper, Tirnell Williams, has an extensive criminal record, but because Illinois is run by Democrats, he was turned loose to commit more crime:
A nine-time felon arranged to have “a real animal” rob and sexually assault a woman in a River North hotel last month as part of a scheme that he hoped would yield a large payout from Hilton Hotels Corporation, prosecutors said.
The alleged offender, who is on bail while awaiting trial for a suburban armed robbery, appeared in court using a wheelchair that prosecutors said is a prop that the perfectly-healthy man uses in an ongoing series of personal injury lawsuit scams.
Tirnell Williams, 43, rented a hotel room for his girlfriend and her friend to enjoy last month because the friend was planning to move out of town the next day. Unbeknownst to the friend, Williams was scheming to have her raped and robbed at the Home2Suites by Hilton, 110 West Huron, to set up a lawsuit against the hotel giant, prosecutors said. . . .
The victim entered the hotel, followed by a man who trailed her onto an elevator and then pulled her into a stairwell when she reached her guestroom floor. The attacker held a knife to the 32-year-old woman’s throat, sliced her purse off of her arm, removed her leggings, and shredded her underwear, prosecutors said Sunday.
Then, the attacker tied the woman to a handrail in the stairwell and forced her to perform a sex act. When the woman vomited, he sodomized the woman and fled down the staircase with her purse. . . .
Detectives later developed a witness who told them the hotel attack was a set-up by Williams because he knew the victim had a lot of cash in her purse. According to the state, Williams told the attacker to “stick his d*ck in the victim’s mouth five or six times” and said he hand-picked the attacker because he is “a real animal and he enjoys it.” . . .
Investigators secured court permission to surveil conversations with Williams in which he allegedly admitted to arranging the attack, although he claimed to not know she had been sexually assaulted. During the recorded conversations, Williams admitted he gets money by bringing cases to personal injury attorneys and said he planned to stage a second attack on a woman at a Hilton in Oaklawn on September 26, according to prosecutors.
The second attack would help establish a pattern of security issues at Hilton properties for the lawsuit, Williams allegedly said during the surveilled conversations.
The article goes on to mention one of the highlights of Williams’s lifelong criminal career: In 2015, he tried to murder an acquaintance. Williams and an accomplice tied the man up with an extension cord, then Williams put a pistol to the man’s head and pulled the trigger, but the gun wouldn’t fire, so he stabbed the man repeatedly, and then fled the scene of the crime covered in blood. At the time of that attempted murder, Williams was “on parole in a 2011 case in which he was found guilty of receiving or possession a stolen vehicle. In the past, he has served prison time for burglary, robbery, theft, drug possession and earlier stolen vehicle cases, according to Illinois Department of Corrections and court records.”
You see that Tirnell Williams has never even tried to work for a living. Instead, he has been perpetrating crime his entire adult life.
