Rep-elect Daniel Donovan, Republican won New York's special election for corrupt lawmaker's seat.
The insurgency brings another one in.
Representative-elect Daniel Donovan, Jr. is replacing corrupt lawmaker Michael Grimm. The Republican district attorney from Staten Island is notable for allowing the cop in the Eric Garner stranglehold case walk managed to beat a weak Democrat in the special election.
The 11th Congressional District is one of the only areas in New York City that is favorably Republican.
Donovon took it to President Barack Obama, Rep Nancy Pelosi (D-CA, Minority Leader) and mayor Bill de Blasio.
"You sent a message to President Obama, to Nancy Pelosi and yes, even to Bill de Blasio, that their policies are wrong for our nation", Donovon said. "They're wrong for our city and they're wrong for the community of the 11th Congressional District."
The Republican went soft on his campaigning. He was hoping that a low turnout and people focusing on Baltimore (i.e. Black people looting liquor stores) to distract from his involvement in the Eric Garner case.
He ran cautious by casting himself as nonpartisan. Yeah, right!
Donovon will be sworn in Friday.
Wondering how long will it last? When will we be paging Melanie Sloan of C.R.E.W.?
Eric Garner the father of six was killed in Staten Island after a cop put him in an illegal restraint. The cop, Daniel Pantaleo got off but disciplined for his actions. This controversy ran concurrent to the Michael Brown case.
Also a NYPD cop was gunned down by a suspect. Brian Moore was gunned down by Demetrius Blackwell. The firearm this fool used was reported stolen (3 1/2 years) ago. Blackwell is facing the judge on first degree murder.
World News Today send our condolences to the family of Brian Moore.
There's going to be accountability. Baltimore city prosecutor Marilyn Mosby told the junk food media that the six officers will have a day in court. They were charged with homicide, involuntary manslaughter and illegal detainment.
The six officers who apprehended Freddie Gray are being charged with homicide and involuntary manslaughter. They will have a day in court. They are innocent until proven guilty. The junk food media heard the prosecutor Marilyn Mosby deliver the news.
Marilyn Mobsy the city of Baltimore prosecutor has also noted that patience is needed in this. She heard the cries of the city and she promises to deliver fair justice towards those involved.
It is noted that the U.S. Justice Department and Mosby will eventually will issue charges to those caught on camera rioting.
This woman will certainly get her share of death threats from the racist right and supporters of the law enforcement. Obviously the AM agitators will tear into it. The conservatives will say that this is an injustice. The officers didn't do nothing wrong. Conservatives believe that Gray caused his injuries and Stephanie Rawlings-Blake ordered a stand down during the riots. They blame liberal policies, the Democratic Party, President Barack Obama, Rev. Perm, and Black leaders for agitating anti-cop rhetoric. They believe that public schools created criminals and the poverty paradise is a Democratic Party success.
The officers who were filmed are being charged with felonies.
Liberals on the other hand will say that this is what needs to be done. Accountability. They believe that the injuries on Gray were not self-inflicted. Liberals believe that Baltimore has areas where food deserts are overwhelming and corporations aren't willing to invest in impoverish areas.They believe that the media (and even some liberals) are over blowing the riots. The Democratic Party is calling for economic reform and opportunities for the poor. They believe the safety net is necessary to help America struggling when they're unemployed and needy.
In the wake of the other high profile police shootings, I have a feeling that these officers could walk.
No surprise here!
Before I get into the rant, I want to announce a change in the name. While you still can refer this blog as Journal de la Reyna, it has changed to World News Today.
A new day has dawn. We changed the narrative and we hope you continue to read our blog.
Thanks again to S. Baldwin for allowing me to give our readers an honest take on the latest issues facing our community, the government and the junk food media.
If you had a thought on the controversy over in Baltimore, what would it be?
If I was a resident of Baltimore and the media wanted to ask me questions about the rioting and the aftermath, I would have told them with no remorse to pick up a god damn trash bag and help us pick up the trash. Quit shoving your microphone in my face. You don't come when you see all the real problems here. All you want to do is make White folks scared and more racist than they are now!
I know that we all have a passionate view of these issues. For me being a Black man, I do have a strong distrust towards law enforcement. I became a victim of profiling. I had been stopped, arrested and detained without due process.
I don't say all cops are bad. But a handful of them are not good. And these people in law enforcement use their position as an enforcer than a protector. They see things through the color lens. They can't offer any opportunities to the ones who already lost. They can't offer opportunities to those who could be in the lost.
The media is too partisan. It favors Republicans more than usual. The cries of liberal media continue to stick among the unswayed. They can't change their minds. They won't open their minds.
As long as it wasn't them, they care less about Black America.
The conservatives are not interested in the plight of Black America. That's probably why Republicans are struggling to win votes. Most Blacks view the Republican Party as a MAJORITY WHITE party.
News agitator Leland Vittert tried to ambush Baltimore mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake and Rev. Perm during a press release. Loserville and the racist right bitch about Rev. Perm coming to Baltimore. They were bitching earlier about him not coming to the city in the wake of the riots.
We can't figure out whether the Republicans are too extreme or just plain stupid. We can't determine what's in their hearts but surely we can determine that they have no love for their fellow man. The conservative claim they don't judge by the content of color, but yet complain about how Black lives haven't improved under President Barack Obama.
They won't serve gay couples pizza in Indiana. They won't serve communities that are too Black for them. They figured that since they're colored neighborhoods, they ain't got the money so why bother.
They want to prove to the world that "Black mob violence" is on the rise.
They want to say Freddie Gray hurt himself according to an interment riding in paddy wagon. They heard from a source who heard from another source who told another source about it.
They want to say that President Barack Obama hates the cops.
They complain about Rev. Perm not coming to Baltimore in the wake of the first round of riots.
When he does come, they complain about him meddling.
They claim that the mayor of the city advocates for rioting. When she imposes a curfew and order more police to aid in the crisis, they claim it's not enough or she told them to stand down.
They want to say that the peaceful protesters are miscreants. They want the pictures of rioters (the Black ones) looting liquor and a fresh pair of Nike's. They don't care about the White looters.
They want to head to the comment sections to vomit all things added with a "racial slur".
They want to prove that if the Republicans were in charge, these protesters would be in lockup. They claim that the Democratic Party is responsible for the gun violence, rioting, and the reasons to why Blacks are angry.
Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD) on a bullhorn telling residents to go home. Loserville's Leland Vittart tries to ambush him twice during the curfew.
They believe that "Hands Up Don't Shoot" is a myth. Even though the Department of Justice said that Michael Brown didn't have his hands up, many others have and they've been shot.
They want to have visual proof of police brutality.
And when they complain about liberalism or idealism, the conservatives find ways to prove to the world that they're nothing but condescending bigots who refuse to serve based on sexuality, race and political views.
They don't give a flying fuck about the boarded up homes and businesses. They don't give two fucks about the poverty, income inequality, the lack of jobs, and the sense of no hope.
I will write another honest opinion about certain agitators in the media.
I will mention their names. Rush Limbaugh, Colin Flaherty, Sean Hannity, Matt Drudge and Breitbart Media. These agitators are poison to the Republican Party. I will offer an honest opinion in May.
And as usual whenever there's an issue going on in America, the partisan agitators continuously bring in the three keys to an agitated situation: race, crime, and social ills.
First and foremost, rioting is not a Black or White crime. It's a crime with no labels. There's no partisan in the uprising caused by disruptive behavior.
While everyone is entitled to their opinion, we here at Journal de la Reyna view these situations of "racial" unrest as the latest example of how the junk food media marginalize an ongoing issue of police brutality in the Black community.
What angers me is that President Barack Obama, the civil rights leaders, the Black community are talking about Black crime, better relations with the law, the social ills and unequal treatment.
This doesn't suit the junk food media's narrative. The racist right ignores My Brother's Keeper Incentive and the speeches by the pinatas Rev. Perm and Cut His Nuts Off Jackson.
Black crime is a gold mine for the junk food media. Ratings, click bait or agitation is considered $$$$ to the junk food media.
So when you hear the agitators on television, radio and the blogs blame Obama, Blacks leaders and the Democratic Party for society's ills, ignore them. Keep protesting and continue to boycott injustice.
We know that talk radio and the conservative blogs are racist. No need to explain to us what they're about.
Matthew Boyle, the racial agitator from Breitfart.
They sit in the comfort of their homes and are unaware of the events that lead to this.
No one wants to see their family member killed by law enforcement. Those in law enforcement are suppose to protect the communities they serve. No one is above the law.
The law can lie when they do a pull over, an issuing of a citation, an arrest, a search of your home, vehicle or properties. The law can lie when discharging their service weapon or use of force in restraining a suspect.
Some in law enforcement are good, hard working and willing to fight for their communities. There are some who look at criminals in the color lens and choose to be an enforcer instead of a protector.
The concern trolls and the racist ass clowns that follow the conservative Craigslist saw the images of protesters in Baltimore, and some rioters who toss trash cans into police cars.
This will assure talk on the AM dial, Loserville and online blogs.
Watch the hook.
This is what the racist right does. The isolated incidents of rioting near Camden Fields during a "Shut This Down" protest is now a BlackLivesMatter event.
The incidents happened during the home game for the Baltimore Orioles. The event crew asked people to stay in their seats until the incident ceased.
On Breitfart, the obvious:
WAR ZONE: BALTIMORE ERUPTS INTO VIOLENCE, CHAOS AS #BLACKLIVESMATTER RIOTS RAGE
This is Matthew Boyle's glowing headline from the link.
Like I've said before, you don't see glaring headlines: WAR ZONE LEXINGTON ERUPTS INTO VIOLENCE, CHAOS AS #UKWILDCATS RIOTS RAGE.
This year, the Wildcats of the University of Kentucky were defeated by Badgers of the University of Wisconsin in the NCAA-1 Finals and the college went into a riot. Lexington Police were dispatched to areas around the college town to contain the crowds. Property was destroyed, people were not seriously injured and it cost money for damages and police overtime.
This was near the Baltimore Orioles night game. Protesters vowed to interrupt the game. Some fans probably stroked tension by saying something racially insensitive towards protesters. That sparked a riot.
No mentions of Barack Obama, race or criminal behavior by the likes of Matthew Boyle and the conservative Craigslist.
The first chunk of this:
Racial protests supposed to be peaceful quickly turned into violent riots on Saturday evening, closing down the city of Baltimore for some time—and creating a panic for thousands of people as just 50 miles away elites in Washington partied with President Barack Obama at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.
What does President Barack Obama have to do with this?
Obviously the president has a daily schedule and he's notified about this way before you went into your little race hit piece.
Freddie Gray's sister Fredricka calls for calm. Baltimore's mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake in the far right.
I remember that the racist right made a fuzz at the White House Correspondents' Dinner in 2011. The conservatives were all pissed about the president partying with the media, the Ron and Rand Paul jokes and the diss on Loserville. Yeah those were good times.
The president sat with a straight face as the comedian Seth Meyers said that the president wasted time on finding Osama bin Laden. People were shocked and surprised that the next day Obama announced the apprehension (killing) of Osama bin Laden.
The president shut the conservatives up for at least a few days. But it was back to business after the news shifted to something shiny.
This is no different. Black protesters according to the racist right are criminals inspired by the anti-cop, anti-White rhetoric from the president, Attorney General Loretta Lynch, former Attorney General Eric Holder, New York mayor Bill de Blasio, Rev. Perm and Cut His Nuts Off Jackson.
Anytime there's an injustice in the Black community, the racist right continues to see this as overreaction to a situation they have no business knowing. The only proof of police brutality in the minds of conservatives is video proof. For all they know, the unarmed Black suspects are criminals who deserved their fate.
The Department of Justice is already investigating Baltimore Metro Police under the given permission of the mayor and police commissioner.
City mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake and Baltimore Metro Police Commissioner Anthony Batts condemn the violence by those who wanted to cause trouble. They understand the protests.
They welcome an investigation into police, criminal gangs, and subjective racial profiling.
Baltimore's population is 622, 114 as of 2013 with a 67% Black population.
This is not the Black Lives Matter movement. This is rioting. This is disruptive behavior based on a controversial incident in which Baltimore police killed Freddie Gray.
The protesters gave a heads up to this "Shut This Down" protest. I am guessing what sparked the riot were the drunk White guys at the bar shouting at the protesters about Michael Brown or Trayvon Martin. Usually counter protesters agitate a riot by saying alleged racial remarks.
The Orioles game was a part of this rolling boycott. The protesters were going to interrupt the game.
Near Camden Fields, protester throws a barrier fence. The Gateway Pundit sees the BlackLivesMatter hoodie. Yeah this is the same guy who threw the punch at the sports bar.
I wouldn't be surprised that Boyle instigated the rioting. He claim he was there when it occurred.
Freddie Gray's sister Fredricka told the public that you're not honoring her brother by rioting.
This is the twin sister of 25 year old Freddie Gray.
Last week, six Baltimore officers are off the beat after a video surfaced showing Freddie Gray being dragged by the feet after an arrest. The officers waited too long after it was revealed that he sustained a major injury on his neck. That spinal injury had him in the hospital and later in the wooden box.
The Baltimore officers claim that he struggled with them. But if it wasn't for them pesky camera phones, they would have gotten away with this lie.
There was some form of restraint or excessive force used on Freddie.
There's an investigation into this matter and we here at Journal de la Reyna will continue to follow developments in this story.
San Bernardino Sheriff's office has to clean house. The cameras caught 10 deputies putting a beat down on a suspect who was already on the ground with his hands up.
Again, the cameras were rolling when an unarmed suspect on a horse was getting a beat down by the San Bernardino Sheriff deputies. Now 10 members are on leave and are facing an investigation.
The U.S. Justice Department and FBI are looking into how these officers conducted themselves when suspect, Francis Jared Pusok was apprehended by the deputies.
The search warrant was being issued for a resident in the Apple Valley. Pusok was wanted for some minor felonies and misdemeanors. He tried to shake the law by stealing a person's horse.
For about 45 minutes, Pusok was chased through the desert highlands. At the end of the chase, Pusok gets off the horse and surrenders. Pusok was on the ground with his hands over his head. The deputies approach him and give him a serious beat down. The beat down lasted for more than two minutes.
Francis Pusok's booking photo. Disturbing.
He took 30 to the head, 10 to the abdomen, and 10 to the legs. The officers used not only a Taser, but their fists, their feet and a baton.
They would have gotten away with this if it wasn't for them pesky cameras.
It wasn't a bystander or the suspect with the camera. It was NBC 4 from Los Angeles. They witness this incident on camera. The helicopter pilot and reporter witness a 10 to 1 beat down. Guess who lost that one?
The suspect did suffer some injuries that required a medical visit. But after release he was sent to lock up for the fleeing and eluding charge.
But he has hired an attorney and is planning on suing the police for excessive force. Sheriff John McMahon is doing damage control after viewing the video.
He calls the incident "troubling" and calls for an internal investigation into this matter.
Pusok was unarmed. He didn't attack the officers with any weapon (i.e. firearm, knife, bodily fluids, animal or explosive device).
The junk food media has been on a roll with the debate over police officers using deadly force against unarmed suspects.
If the shootings of Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown don't seem to matter, how about this one?
What image will the junk food media use when they're smearing an unarmed victim?
The law can lie when justifying a pull over, a citation, an arrest, use of a Taser, use of restraint or use of deadly force. The cops can tell their superiors in a written or on camera statement how the suspect provoked the use of force. The law can splice video and release it to the public. The junk food media will make any unarmed suspect or unintended victim look like the bad guy regardless. The political agitators and arm chair keyboard warriors go back in forth on debating. The cop who used deadly force on a suspect is given the benefit of doubt by the junk food media and supporters of law enforcement. A dead body (especially a Black man) is valued only as a criminal based on what the public sees on social media or open record searches.
Although Francis will owe up for the criminal acts, he didn't deserve this type of abuse by the law.
We here at Journal de la Reyna wish Francis Pusok a speedy recovery.
Dash cam shows Walter Scott running and about a few minutes in, he's dead.
The city of North Charleston, SC sits around Interstate 26 and its spur Interstate 526. It's a suburb of Charleston.
The city is located about 110 miles from Columbia, South Carolina. It's a community that has minority-majority population. But there's a real problem here. The police is a majority White.
But that's not the issue. The issue is what happened last weekend. The junk food media and the partisan agitators are trying to dissect the controversial video of its former officer Michael Slager shooting an unarmed motorist.
The motorist is Walter Scott. He was a 50 year old man with minor criminal history (i.e. child support, and traffic violations).
The South Carolina Law Enforcement Division and the U.S. Justice Department releases the dash cam video of Slager pulling over Scott.
Slager approaches the vehicle.
Scott was a runner and Slager went after him. And after the chase comes the shooting. That's where the witness comes in. The witness whipped out the camera phone and here we are.
The conservative agitators can't say that Walter deserved his fate. I mean running from the law merits a taser or physical restraint. But the reckless decision to shoot Scott and then claim he touched the service weapon didn't stick when the witness gave the video to the family and the press.
Now Rev. Perm and that annoying agitator will debate the issues. Of course the agitators will ask President Barack Obama how he feels about this.
The president can relate to the Black community. After all, Barack Obama is Black. He knows that Michael Brown and Trayvon Martin's deaths sparked a movement.
The BlackLivesMatter movement started after the acquittal of the killer of Trayvon Martin and received fresh impetus from the 2014 shooting of Michael Brown. The movement has received worldwide media attention due to its massive scope and ongoing existence. Protesters and protest organizers have met with President Obama and other prominent leaders to demand an end to police brutality, mass incarceration, and demilitarization of many US police departments.
Obviously he didn't think he would put a corrupt cop in the county lockup. Feidin Santana got his camera phone out and filmed a North Charleston police officer open fire on an unarmed suspect. The officer could get LIFE or the GAS if the state charges of murder stick.
He didn't want the media to drag Walter Scott's name in the mud like they've done to Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown. The racist right would have certainly took Scott's name and turn it into a political football. The racist right would advocate President Barack Obama, Rev. Perm, Attorney General Eric Holder (and eventual replacement Loretta Lynch), NAACP, and the so-called liberal media as enablers of racial unrest.
Feiden Santana would have ignored the commotion. He knew that all the noise that morning had to be something worth filming. He whipped out his camera phone and recorded former North Charleston police officer Michael Slager engage in contact with Walter.
His video would film Walter escaping a taser shot at him. He would see Slager draw his service weapon. Slager would empty that service weapon and down goes Walter.
This video become national news after Feiden took it to the New York Times.
If he would have taken it to the cops, he probably would have been arrested. They would say that he was impeding on an arresting officer. They would destroy the video or alter the video. They would release to the public segments of it. The junk food media agitators (i.e. the folks of Loserville) will run loops of the video to make the cop look like the good guy.
The racist right websites would find some "evidence" of criminal behavior from the unarmed suspect.
Maybe they would have found Walter smoking a blunt. Walter giving the bird on camera. Maybe he was holding a firearm in his basement. They would have made it all about the Walter and not Slager.
Feiden feared the police retaliation. Most Black folks fear that filming police could get them arrested.
If there weren't people so frustrated with the police in the wake of high profile shootings such as the Michael Brown, Tamir Rice, John Crawford and Akai Gurley controversies, you wouldn't see camera phones being used.
And to make this clear, you are allowed to film police. They may try to "justify" an arrest by saying you're impeding on an arresting officer or disorderly conduct. You can lawyer up and tell the judge that you had a right to film public servants while on duty.
YOU HAVE A RIGHT TO FILM THE POLICE!
"I remember the police had control of the situation," Santana said during the interview (above). "You can hear the sound of a Taser... I believe [Scott] was just trying to get away from the Taser."
Slager was reporting that he had to empty the service weapon after Walter tried to take his taser. According to the police report, he said that Walter was the aggressor. The North Charleston police were going to run with the officer's side of the story.
Feiden was also filming the corrupt officer dropping evidence on a dead body.
Kind of odd, that an officer would drop evidence on the suspect if the report says that he reached for a service unit of the arresting officer!
Todd Kincannon put the smack down on his wife. He claims he was doped up on meds when he threatened to kill his wife Ashely. He was the former South Carolina Republican chairman. This clown is notorious for internet trolling and throwing racially charged insults at Blacks.
This guy Todd Kincannon was the former Republican chairman from South Carolina. He was the guy on the social media calling Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown, "thugs". He concluded that George Zimmerman and Darren Wilson did the world a favor by putting slugs in these unarmed men.
Now it seems like Todd has to look into the mirror once a while. He's caught some flack after the junk food media reported on him slapping his wife in a domestic violence dispute.
He was accused by his wife of unlawful restraint. He got into a shouting match with her and physically restrained her.
The Charleston City Paper reports that Kincannon's wife Ashely Suzanne Griffith wants out. She believes that the man is crazy. She told the law they “have a history of unreported domestic violence.” She said she was “extremely fearful” of Kincannon and described him as being “extremely ‘traditional’ and controlling, thus becoming very upset due to embarrassing him,” according to the report. From the report (Note: Kincannon’s full name is listed as James John Todd Kincannon; the report refers to him as James):
“Ashely continued to tell me after leaving the work function, James began screaming at Ashely while they drove in their car. Ashely told James to let her out of their car to which he refused. Ashely proceeded to roll down the window and scream for James to let her out, hoping a bystander would call 9-1-1.”
She went on to tell the deputy that, while Kincannon was driving the car in a Chick-fil-A parking lot at about 5 mph, she attempted to get out of the vehicle, but “James grabbed Ashely’s arm, squeezing it tightly, thus preventing her from exiting the vehicle,” according to the report. She told the deputy that she hit Kincannon’s arm several times in an attempt to escape, but Kincannon accelerated and she was unable to get out.
The mighty Todd and his tweets.
From the report:
Ashley continued to tell me she called her mother for help and attempted to call 9-1-1 with an open line in order for the dispatcher to hear James. While driving, James saw a police vehicle and ‘freaked out.’ James threatened he would drive the car into a concrete barrier if the cops became involved. In addition, James also threatened to kill himself if Ashely left. Ashely continued to tell me James has made several threats in the past to kill himself, her, and her family. Furthermore, Ashely said she has past incidents of domestic violence and threats of homicide/suicide recorded. I saw no visible injuries to Ashely, she provided me with a written statement, and was issued a victim’s pamphlet. It should be noted Ashely was trembling as she wrote her statement.
The deputy then returned to Kincannon, who reportedly denied grabbing his wife’s arm and threatening to kill himself. He “did say Ashely informed him she wanted out of the car at which time he pulled into a ‘Chik-fil-A’ parking lot,” according to the report, but “Upon entering the parking lot, Ashely changed her mind and said she did not want to get out.”
The officer wrote that because of “Ashely’s statements of James killing himself,” the officer called in an EMS unit, who transported Kincannon to Lexington Medical Center for “further evaluation.”
Todd was on the Benzonatate when he tweeted these nuggets.
Kincannon claims his violent tempers stems from drug use. He attached a photo of a prescription bottle of Benzonatate with his name on the label. He later added that the reaction was “most likely my fault for chewing the capsule and accidentally overdosing.” He adds: “You’d think a guy with my IQ would know better, but I have to admit I didn't pay any attention to the instructions when I took the stuff. I just wanted to stop coughing my head off and took the prescription without reading the label. Lesson learned, and as Admiral James T. Kirk would say, ‘double dumbass’ on me. (That’s a Star Trek IV reference in case you’re curious.)”
WebMD lists confusion and hallucination as possible side effects of benzonatate.
The City Paper asked Kincannon to comment on the allegations of death and suicide threats and domestic abuse, and he wrote:
My wife says she only discussed stuff that happened since I'd been on the Benzonatate, which hadn't been very long. Once we got to the hospital and it got out of my system, I went back to normal and am totally fine now.
When asked how long he had been taking Benzonatate, Kincannon said he had the prescription filled on March 5 and started taking the capsules daily. "I recall taking them but don't recall chewing any until yesterday," he said on Friday.
What if the law was seeing him threatening his wife and he decides to pull out his firearm or a knife?
Could Kincannon use the Benzonatate as an excuse as well?
What's your thoughts on this agitator's latest bout of misfortune?
We here at Journal de la Reyna send our prayers to Ashely and wish her safe travels. Hopefully she can help end this nightmare by leaving this guy?
The left exposes a newspaper's yellow journalism. These are the images of men who were accused of criminal acts. Each of these individuals are criminals but who will the racist right look at as more dangerous?
The Raw Story and the blog SoLetsTalkAbout notes the junk food media's profile of White and Black criminals. NO APRIL FOOLS JOKE, it's real.
In Cedar Rapids, The Gazette had to do some explaining. The online website ran two stories about criminal behavior. The difference in between the stories is race. What's surprising is the pictures of the White suspects came from their yearbook and the pictures of the Black suspects were simply mugshots from the county lockup.
The images used of Ross Lembeck, Seth Gross and Logan Ryan, all 19, were taken from the freshman yearbook. All the boys were wearing matching ties.
While the other images used, Kwain E. Crawford, 36; Milton Whitehead, 50; Quentin D.W. Eatman, 24; and Curtis J. Johnson, 29 in same online publication were just that. Those menacing mugs.
The racist right never ceases to amaze me.
Many pointed out that this discrepancy of images gives the reader the impression that these three men were upstanding citizens who just made a mistake. The other images gives the reader the impression they're good for nothing NIGGERS or insert Obama.
This went viral.
The Gazette endorsed perennial loser Mitt Romney for president. Kind of tells you what the publication's political views and how they view criminal acts by people of color.
The Iowa newspaper scrubbed from its website the distinguished images of three University of Iowa wrestlers accused of robbery.
So I am guessing the perception of images gives the media a reason. The same reason to think Michael Brown and Trayvon Martin deserve their deaths at the hands of either the law or a self righteous vigilante.
City of Boston praying for a speedy recovery of one its own. Boston officer John Monyihan was critically injured in gunfire after a suspect got the drop on him. He was praised by President Barack Obama for his heroism.
Boston is dealing with a tragic situation. An officer who gained national recognition was critically injured by a suspect after a police stop.
We here at Journal de la Reyna send our prayers to the Officer John Monyihan. We pray for a speedy recovery.
Monyihan is fighting for his life. He was a former Army Ranger who decided to live to public service. The officer is 34 years old and has a girlfriend and children. He served for six years as an officer for Boston. He was also an officer who aided in the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing and shooting event where Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev planted two explosives near the finish line. The bombs killed three and injured hundreds of people. Monyihan gained national recognition from President Barack Obama after he assisted a fellow officer who was injured in gunfire.
The brothers managed to kill a MIT officer before the law put Tamerlan down. Dzhokhar was eventually caught and now is in court. The young Tsarnaev will get the GAS if found guilty on federal mass murder charges.
The gunman shot him in the face and the bullet was lodged in the right side of his face by ear. They placed him into a medically induced coma.
President Barack Obama was notified of the situation. Of course, Boston residents are sending their prayers to him. Democratic mayor Marty Walsh and Republican governor Charlie Baker have both expressed their prayers as well.
The suspect is 41 year old Angelo West. West has a history as a criminal. He was apparently being stopped by the law for some infraction.
West was stopped by Monyihan. West would jump out of his vehicle raise his arm and put the Magnum .357 in position. He would fire it at point blank range hitting the officer.
West would eventually try to escape. The moment he flashed that firearm, the law put the lead salad in him. West would die of his injuries. The passengers in his vehicle were not injured but later arrest. They may face charges. Even though the passengers weren't the shooter, the law can make them accomplices in the firing on an officer.
A witness was grazed by gunfire from police. Those who shot the witness would be place on administrative leave. Standard procedure when an officer shoots his firearm.
Angelo West shot at Boston police. He paid the price with a lead salad.
Angelo West has given the racist right a reason to denounce the BlackLivesMatter movement. The movement was sparked by the anger bubbling in Ferguson, MO by the police shooting of unarmed resident Michael Brown. Brown's death led to national protests and international outcry for better policing. It also gave the opponents something to go after. The opponents slander the name of the Brown and called the protesters "misinformed" and even raised their anger at President Barack Obama for citing his experience being Black in America.
After all, since he's came into the White House, you've heard an influx of Black criminal stories coming from the racist right. The outlets such as Loserville, the conservative Craigslist, The Daily Nothing or even asshats like Colin Flaherty and Charles C. Johnson have flourished in this stuff.
They give White America a reason to hate Blacks. Even though criminal acts are colorless, the way these outlets magnify suspects causes Whites to always suspect Blacks, Latinos, illegal immigrants, Muslms and foreign nations as being the reasons for this country being fucked up.
There's blogs like Sissyirishman, DailyWhateverFuckKenn, and Angry White Wuss that are sites that give credence to Black on everyone crime. These extremists would make their blogs flourish in local stories that spin criminal acts by Blacks.
See Fred101 is an example of the extremism that flutters into our comment section. This anonymous commentator appears frequently in stories I've posted focusing the three key elements: race, politics and crime.
In my response to the anonymous trolling, I've posted the six things to attract them. Give them a topic that they seem to obsess over. Kind of like, if I said something about a product in negative way, expect the criticism from someone who spins it in a positive light.

The American junk food media is relishing on Ferguson situation. The suspect in Thursday's gunfire is caught and I can not help but wonder what the agitators plan on blaming for the shooting of two members of law enforcement.
Okay, 20 year old Jeffrey Williams is in St. Louis County lock up on $300K.
St. Louis County prosecutor Robert McCulloch announced that authorities had brought charges, including assault in the first degree, against 20-year-old Jeffrey Williams. Williams is from the St. Louis area and had been on probation for receiving stolen property.
Williams had been involved in protests on the evening that the shooting occurred and had "acknowledged" firing shots, according to McCulloch. McCulloch said that Williams, who is African-American, may have been firing at someone other than the police.
He's going to face the judge in the coming days.
Attorney General Eric Holder praises the St. Louis County police. He is proud they caught this dangerous criminal.
President Barack Obama also responded to the apprehension of this criminal.
They both urged the residents and law enforcement to respect one another. Harmless right?
Not to the racist right. Of course, two prominent Black men in government. One being the first Black president and the other being the first Black top cop.
The shooting grips the anti-cop rhetoric produced by the left and right. The left is calling for reform on how police deal with non-White suspects. While some of their grievances are real, there are some who are adamant about roasting a pig.
The right is strongly opposed the president's proposed executive order to ban armor piercing bullets. Those bullets will go through a bulletproof shield.
Who's going to point the finger?
Well here's a website that already got a conspiracy going around that the shooter is a "friend of a friend" who knows Michael Brown and Dorian Johnson. Johnson was one of the key witnesses in the shooting of unarmed Brown.
Johnson has been a victim of death threats. The racist right is smearing his name by bold caption
Cop shooting suspect Jeffrey Williams Was ‘Friend’ on Facebook of Mike Brown’s Fellow Robber Dorian Johnson

Will the trail from Democrat Jeffrey Williams lead back to Sharpton Holder Obama and the one who funded the Ferguson Riots, George Soros?
This is how the racist right views Black America. For one represents all. If they really hate when the lefties compare every White criminal who commits a mass murder to the insurgency. Matter of fact, they'll be running this narrative that the White criminal is a "Democrat" as explained above.
Matter of fact, they won't notice that the shooter expressed his "Second Amendment" right.
Only in the minds of the racist right, firearms belong to them. Not Blacks, Hispanics or Muslims.
Every gun crime is the Democrats fault. It's never a Republican lawmaker or governor's fault. They know how to use a gun, says the insurgency.
Every time a major event happens in America, the junk food media, the agitators, the irrational and sometimes the criminals exploit a tragedy.
See how the conservative agitators act. They prove the left's point of them being the condescending bigots they are pointed out to be,
The shooting came during protests after Ferguson Police Chief Thomas Jackson was fired out the cannon earlier. One of the officers was shot in the face and the other was shot in the shoulder, but both survived the attack.
Attorney General Eric Holder said in a statement on Sunday that the arrest was a testament to good collaboration between federal and local authorities.
The fight isn't over. The protesters are demanding that the Ferguson mayor steps down.
“This arrest sends a clear message that acts of violence against our law enforcement personnel will never be tolerated. The swiftness of this action is a credit to the significant cooperation between federal authorities and the St. Louis County Police Department," Holder said. "The ATF’s ballistic imaging technology has played a critical role in the ongoing investigation. I commend both the ATF and St. Louis police for their tremendous work in identifying this suspect."
President Barack Obama condemned the shooting on Thursday, posting on Twitter that "violence against police is unacceptable." Holder also called the shooter a "damn punk" last week.
Williams is a criminal. It has nothing to do with his race, social status, political affiliation, or economic standings. It was a callous act by a man who didn't care about the protesters or the police officers who are doing their job to protect.
The Blame Game is getting old. The racist right is playing this card worse than the lefties playing the race card.
That annoying conservative agitator talks down a Ferguson protester.
That annoying conservative agitator went off on a protester. For what reason?
The protester Ivory Ned was a witness to the shooting of two officers in Ferguson, Missouri.
The law can't figure out who was the gunman. I mean they can figure out how a black teen "strong arm" robbed a gas station. The media sure loves posting them pictures of a big guy shoving a clerk.
See how the racist right treats Ivory Ned. Look at the Google search when I mention protester, Ivory Ned, that annoying conservative agitator's name and interview.
For you see, that this annoying conservative agitator was totally condescending towards Mr. Ned.
Ned explained the shooting as a reaction to Michael Brown's death: "[Brown's shooting] was the first action that happened. Then you have a reaction what happened. I’m not saying it was right."
That annoying conservative agitator wasn't having it.
"No, Ivory, you should be saying it's wrong," The annoying agitator replied, adding that witnesses testified that Brown charged at Officer Darren Wilson. "I think the story here is, you shouldn't act that way, and people shouldn't be shooting cops. I don't hear you saying that, why not?"
Ned was quick to deliver a response.
"There are also witness that testified Mike Brown had his hands up. So you look at the facts first," Ned said. "The forensics showed... that there were bullets... with the hands... I'm no scientist, but the facts remain."
He continued: "The cops getting shot last night, that was not right. But that was not right for Mike Brown to be dead four hours on the ground."
Matter of fact, this whole interview was a train wreck.
Look at the video from the jump. Oh by the way, they apprehended the suspect. More on that one in the next post.
Tension mount in Ferguson. The chief of police resigns.
In the midst of resignation, here a bunch of dumb asses gave the racist right a reason. Two police officers were injured in an apparent shooting in Ferguson.
These two officers were doing riot control and out of nowhere comes the bullets. They were seriously injured. We here at Journal de la Reyna send our prayers to those injured. We wish for a speedy recovery.
This comes after the resignation of three officers who shared racist emails, the city judge who improperly fined Black motorists, the city manager who relished on revenue, and the police chief who was the human shield in the controversy that involved the killing of unarmed teen Michael Brown.
Tom Jackson was the chief of the Ferguson police. The controversial decision not to prosecute former officer Darren Wilson after he put rounds in the unarmed teen sparked weeks of unrest.
Loserville may hire former Ferguson sheriff Tom Jackson as an analysis.
The partisans have debated, insulted and insinuated that Michael Brown and Darren Wilson did have an altercation.
The Department of Justice dismissed the assertion that Brown had his hands up during the altercation.
Wilson did have non lethal restraints on him. The officer didn't have his camera on. He didn't activate his sirens when this altercation occurred.
This comes on the heels of the Department of Justice's scathing report saying that the city of Ferguson was improperly targeting Black motorists and residents more than any other minority.
There were some city workers sharing ignorant emails depicting President Barack Obama as a chimpanzee and First Lady Michelle Obama as a topless African dancer. Some of the controversial emails head over to Myrightwingdad.net for record.
Former president George W. Bush was in Selma for historic event. The racist right upset that he was brush out. They're upset that Bush and President Barack Obama interacted with Rev. Perm.
They're outraged because the New York Times couldn't fit the former in.
George W. Bush, former first lady Laura and Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA, Majority Leader) were in attendance, Of course there lawmakers and agitators were there. The most notable were Attorney General Eric Holder, Rev. Perm, Rep. John Lewis (D-GA), Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) and Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ).
What got the folks over at FalseVolt, Breitfart, Newsclusters and The Daily Nothing pissed off was the "deliberate" brush out of Bush and McCarthy.
The Times was trying bias to the former and Majority Leader.
Now you know how conservatives look at the media. They would take a foreign source that got its source from an anonymous foreign source over American outlets.
You see how reactionary these people are.
Bush isn't the president. Barack Obama is. They're sworn enemy.
The complaint, courtesy of The Daily Nothing. The Selma March included the president, Rev. Perm, Holder but missing from the photo, though only a few people down to the right, were former President George W. Bush and his wife Laura. The Times also focused quite a bit of their story on the shooting death of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, even though the local and federal investigations into that event found race had zero role in it and they refused to bring charges.
For their front page, the Times curiously chose a picture that did not show the entire front line of marchers, choosing instead to leave the Bushes on the cutting room floor.
Anyway, I am not wasting too much time covering this. These agitators can't get over the fact that President Barack Obama is in the White House. They hate the fact he's even in there.
It's about RACE not about politics.
The First Family and Rep. John Lewis (D-GA) got the front. Conservatives outraged that G.W. Bush got the back.
Republicans and their racist right allies are wasted space in America. Eventually that will be phased out.
The younger generation are tolerant of LGBT, interracial marriage, religious freedom, marijuana legalization and the safety net.
The older generation is what Republicans relish on. They want more looser gun laws, restrictive voting rights, restrictions on women's rights, restrictions on immigration and religious intolerance.
This is why the world should never take American conservatives seriously. They too damn immature.
They can't understand that the media is free. The lefties hate how Loserville operates. But no one is trying to silence them. You have the right to change the channel, avoid picking up the paper, never click on the link or visiting the blog. You have a freaking choice.
Why get upset over a decision you decided to take consideration into?
The death of a Madison man has sparked outrage. Once again an unarmed man was killed by police after a confrontation. The police officer who shot him is a veteran. He is on paid administrative leave which is standard procedure. He's getting his union rep, his lawyer, and his psychologist.
We here at Journal de la Reyna send our condolences to the family of Tony Robinson. He was the suspect that was unarmed.
These events call for more training, the use of body cameras and the potential usage of non lethal weapons in the case of individuals who are low level criminals. Those who the law enforcement arrest for minor offenses (i.e. marijuana possession, jaywalking, soliciting, prostitution, traffic citations and unpaid fines).
The AP reports that the fatal shooting of an unarmed black 19-year-old by a white police officer, who authorities say fired after he was assaulted, prompted protesters Saturday to take to the college town's streets with chants of "Black Lives Matter." The city's police chief said he understood the anger, assuring demonstrators his department would defend their rights as he implored the community to act with restraint.
Tony Robinson died Friday night after being shot in his apartment following a confrontation with Officer Matt Kenny, who had forced his way inside after hearing a disturbance while responding to a call, authorities and neighbors said.
Madison Police Chief Mike Koval said Kenny was injured, but didn't provide details. It wasn't clear whether Robinson, who died at a hospital, was alone.
"He was unarmed. That's going to make this all the more complicated for the investigators, for the public to accept," Koval said of Robinson. The department said Kenny would not have been wearing a body camera.
Several dozen protesters who gathered outside the police department Saturday afternoon held signs and chanted "Black Lives Matter" — a slogan adopted by activists and protesters nationwide after recent officer-involved deaths of unarmed blacks — before walking toward the neighborhood where the shooting took place.
The shooting came days after the U.S. Justice Department said it would not issue civil rights charges against Darren Wilson, the white former Ferguson, Missouri, officer who fatally shot 18-year-old Michael Brown, who was black and unarmed, after a struggle in the street last August.
The racist right already trashing the name.
Federal officials did however find patterns of racial profiling, bigotry and profit-driven law enforcement in the St. Louis suburb, which saw spates of sometimes-violent protests in the wake of the shooting and a grand jury's decision not to charge Wilson.
Other high-profile deaths of black suspects at the hands of police officers have prompted nationwide protests, including that of Eric Garner, who died in July after New York City officers put him in a chokehold and a video showed him repeatedly saying, "I can't breathe." A Cleveland police officer in November fatally shot 12-year-old Tamir Rice, who had been pointing a pellet gun at a playground. A Milwaukee police officer who fatally shot Dontre Hamilton last April was found to have acted in self-defense, but was fired for ignoring department policy regarding mental illness.
Koval struck a conciliatory tone Saturday while addressing the potential for more protests in Madison, saying he understood the community's distrust after "this tragic death."
"For those who do want to take to the street and protest," Koval said, his department would be there to "defend, facilitate, foster those First Amendment rights of assembly and freedom of speech." The promise echoed as a stark contrast to Ferguson, where an aggressive police response to protesters after Brown's death drew worldwide attention.
Koval also asked protesters to follow what he said was the lead of Robinson's family in asking for "nondestructive" demonstrations.
The chief said he had gone to Robinson's mother's house overnight and spoken with his grandparents and expressed sympathy to his family Saturday, saying, "19 years old is too young."
Family members at community meeting later read a statement prepared by Robinson's mother, Andrea Irwin.
Matt Kenny, the officer on paid leave.
"I can't even compute what has happened," Irwin's statement said. "I haven't even had a chance to see his body."
Koval said Kenny, a more than 12-year veteran of the Madison department, also shot and killed a suspect in 2007, but was cleared of wrongdoing because it was a "suicide by cop-type" situation. In that shooting, Kenny responded to a 911 call of a man with a gun and shot the man twice after police said he pointed the gun at officers. It turned out to be a pellet gun.
A picture of Kenny on the Madison department's website shows him with a police horse he trains, alongside a short first-person bio in which he says he served nine years in the U.S. Coast Guard before joining the department.
Kenny has been placed on administrative leave pending results of an investigation by the state's Division of Criminal Investigation.
A 2014 Wisconsin law requires police departments to have outside agencies investigate officer-involved deaths after three high-profile incidents within a decade — including one in Madison — didn't result in criminal charges, raising questions from the victims' families about the integrity of investigations.
Madison, about 80 miles west of Milwaukee, is the state capital and home to the University of Wisconsin's flagship campus. About 7 percent of the city's 243,000 residents are black. Neighbors said Robinson's apartment is in a two-story gray house on Williamson Street, known to many as Willy Street.
Chief Koval said police responded to a call about 6:30 p.m. Friday of a person jumping into traffic. A second call to police said the man was "responsible for a battery," Koval said.
Kenny went to an apartment and forced his way inside after hearing a disturbance. Koval said the officer fired after being assaulted by Robinson; Koval said he couldn't say how many shots were fired because it is part of the investigation.
The agitators of the racist right will use this.
One of Robinson's neighbors, Grant Zimmerman, said Robinson would run between his apartment and his roommate's mother's house across the street "all the time, even in the middle of traffic."
Wisconsin's online courts database shows that Robinson, a 2014 graduate of Sun Prairie High School, pleaded guilty to felony armed robbery in October and was sentenced in December to three years' probation. A police report said he was among four teenagers arrested in a home invasion in which the suspects were seen entering an apartment building with a long gun. They ran with electronics and other property and three of the four were captured. A shotgun and a "facsimile" handgun were recovered, according to the report.
Koval declined to discuss Robinson's background Saturday, saying he thought it was inappropriate.
"I'm not here to do a character workup on someone who lost his life less than 24 hours ago," Koval said.
A neighbor, Doris King, told the Wisconsin State Journal she asked Robinson about his involvement in the robbery because it seemed out of character for him.
"He felt he was under a lot of pressure from the others to do what he did," she told the newspaper. "He told me he would never do anything like that again."
Williamson Street appeared quiet Saturday evening. At least one Madison Police officer stood in front of the building where the shooting took place.
The outgoing Attorney General of the United States Eric Holder wanted to go even further in this discussion. He's threatening to use all his powers to dismantle the controversial Ferguson police department.
Holder said, "If that's what's necessary, we're prepared to do that."
Civil rights lawyers have previously said the county could absorb the functions of the Ferguson Police Department.
The Justice Department issued a report this week that found that police in Ferguson overwhelmingly arrested and issued traffic citations to black residents, creating a "toxic" environment with its policing practices.
The police also faced heavy scrutiny after it was revealed that some of its officers traded racial jokes about Black people and the president.
The officer who shot and killed Michael Brown was not indicted sparking months of unrest in the metro St. Louis area. It became a political firestorm with the agitators favoring the verdict and others finding it a travesty of justice.
President Barack Obama was astonished by the report released by the Department of Justice. He believes that the systematic practices are not just done in small towns like Ferguson but others.
Ferguson city officials will meet with the Justice Department in about two weeks to begin negotiating an agreement on reforms, Ferguson Mayor James Knowles said.
If the two parties cannot reach a consensus, the Justice Department can sue and force reform.
Knowles said on Friday that the city would not settle with the Justice Department if the negotiations do not lead to "mutual satisfaction."
"There are a lot of things in that report that are very troubling and need to be addressed, but there are also things that are an overreach," Knowles said.
James Knowles, the mayor of Ferguson is trying to calm tension after DOJ revealed damning evidence of racial bias in their police force.
The Department of Justice released a stinging blow to Ferguson. They uncovered a lot of damning evidence of racial bias by city workers and police.
The mayor vows to cleanse the city of racism and work to regain the trust of its residents and the family of Michael Brown.
Michael Brown was an unarmed teenager who was killed by former officer Darren Wilson after an altercation on a city street. This controversy sparked the "Black Lives Matter" movement.
Also it sparked the "Hands Up Don't Shoot" movement. A movement that the racist right undermines because they believe that Brown didn't have his hands up. They believe that he's charged at the officer while he was firing.
The conservative agitators and junk food media smeared the name, the Black residents and civil rights leaders revolted against the victim blaming. Black America seen how the junk food media made Trayvon Martin look like the bad guy and gave George Zimmerman the cape and laser vision.
Now this Michael Brown situation opened a trove of racial bias.
The right wing emails that appear courtesy of "MYRIGHTWINGDAD.NET" have come back to haunt Ferguson. Some of their workers and officers shared some hateful emails targeting Black America and the president.
The racist trolls are driven to that click bait. They laugh and cackle at this nonsense. They see this as a First Amendment issue because this is what they assume Black people do.
They see issues with Black America being overblown.
They never experience racial profiling or disenfranchisement. They believe that Rev. Perm and President Barack Obama are stroking racial tension. They are the concern trolls who believe that for every White on Black crime, there's thousands of Black on Black crimes in America.
Well the Department of Justice revealed that many stops were driven by revenue. Most arrest were singling out Blacks. Most arrest and citations were given to Black residents and motorists. Most individuals with no criminal record were given tickets in perception not infraction.
While some of the evidence obtained shows a pattern of discrimination, the Department of Justice went easy on them.
The Ferguson city leaders and police have at least six months to get their act together. Or face lawsuits.
This is an ongoing situation, we will cover this here on Journal de la Reyna.
