The iconic entertainer of many television programs will turn 100 this year. He will be honored by Jimmy Kimmel and numerous others.
Norman Lear, the iconic television producer was born July 27, 1923. He is an American television writer and film producer who has developed over 100 shows. Perhaps he is best known for his iconic shows, All in the Family, Maude, Good Times and The Jeffersons.
He is also responsible for One Day at a Time, Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman, Sanford and Son, Archie Bunker's Place and numerous other shows.
Lear is the boss of bosses.
Lear is a supporter of progressive politics. That's why he included real issues in the way does his programs.
ABC will honor him with a star-studded special to pay homage to his works.
Airing Thursday Sept. 22, the special will feature a lineup of celebrity guests and musical performances to be announced at a later date.
Lear has stated that he has no intentions of retiring and he said he'll die writing. The celebration of his 100th birthday will likely get attention from President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris and numerous others.
Lear also noted that he will revive some of the classics. He along with Brent Miller confirm that Who's the Boss? is coming back with actress/activist Alyssa Milano and veteran actor Tony Danza reprising their roles. There's a possible animated version of Good Times in the works.
"I've never chosen anything to do that I didn't wish to do. My awards and accolades mean a great deal to me, but they don't mean as much as the drive to the studio today. I still explode with joy, excitement, interest and utter delight every time."
Lear said that the best years of his life were to make people "laugh, think and understand the nature of family."
"Truth to tell, certainly I've done nothing more than father a child. Nothing more delicious than becoming a grandfather of a child. I don't know that there's anything more romantic in living than all of that."
An active shooter doesn't care about the politics, race, gender, sexuality, nationality, religion, your finances, your family, your plans that day, your successes, your failures, and most importantly, your life.
The shooter is motivated within seconds to take out as many people as he/she can.
What to do to protect your life.
1. Run - If you hear sounds like firecrackers, popping sounds or suspicious activities around a large gathering (i.e. malls, stores, clubs, public gatherings), if you can flee, run away from the shooter. Do not run in a straight path of the sight. Move around and zig-zag if possible to keep yourself out the line of fire. It's best to not film a shooter commiting the act. If you are willing to risk your life for a viral video, more power to you but its best to stay out of the line of fire by running away.
2. Hide - If you are involved in an active shooting, you must barricade yourself in a room and keep doors locked, lights off, phones on silent. Do not go into restrooms, lockers and kitchens. Those are most likely places where shooters often go. If you can barricade a room to prevent a shooter from getting in, it eliminate the opportunity for the shooter to get through. Make sure you keep your voice low when you're involved in mass shooting. Call 9-1-1 if you can.
3. Fight - If you are willing to risk your life or willing to film the incident, you have no choice but to fight. Make sure you grab something that is powerful enough to disarm a shooter. Do not confront a shooter in the midst of sight. Make yourself not visible if you're trying to fight. Do not think being a "good guy with a gun" is going to stop a bad guy. The cops don't see good guys trying to stop bad guys. They see active shooters and they will shoot anyone who is armed regardless of the matter. If you're ready to fight, be prepared to die. It's best to not be easily seen if you're trying to stop a shooter. If you're a conceal carry and attempt to disarm an active shooter, you are willing to sacrifice your life to save lives. You are willing to go hero, you could die a hero or an idiot.
The Montgomery County coroner's office released the names of the terrorist and victim involved in the shooting of Ohio deputy Matthew Yates.
The terrorist was 27 years old and the victim was Jodie Arbuckle, 47. They died in the mobile home where the attack on Yates occurred.
Clark County Sheriff's Office confirmed that Yates was ambushed by the terrorist. He was shot and killed upon entering the property. It led to a six hour standoff where they threw tear gas into the mobile home and it would soon catch on fire.
It appears that the terrorist killed his mother and then allowed the home to burn with him in it.
Sheriff Deb Burchett told reporters Sunday that responding officers were shot at after they entered the mobile home following reports of a possible break-in and gunfire. Deputy Matthew Yates was wounded and remained inside for several hours before other officers could get him out, and he later died at a hospital, Burchett said.
Yates, 41, was a 15-year veteran of the Clark County Sheriff’s Office and a member of its special operations team, officials said. Another deputy was treated for an injury to an extremity not caused by gunfire and is recovering at home, officials said.
Officials haven’t said how the mobile home caught fire or provided other information about the events or the two other people who died. The Ohio attorney general’s office Bureau of Criminal Investigation is investigating the shooting. State fire marshals are investigating the fire, fire marshal bureau spokesperson Andy Ellinger said.
The family claimed that the terrorist had mental issues. The state must of not checked on him because he obtained a firearm. Of course, thanks to Ohio Republicans, the gun laws are weak here.
It lead to more extremists to obtain firearms. Remember that mass shooting in Dayton. The 2019 mass shooting that led to Gov. Karen DeWine, Washed Up 45 and numerous Ohio lawmakers to do "nothing" despite the cries from victims and those who heckled them during the May 2019 attack.
Ohio decided to just allow concealed carry into many areas. They banned abortion after 6 weeks.
They are working on laws to define marriage. They are working on keeping transgender girls and women out of women's sports. They are allowing more firearms in schools. They are keeping the culture wars running without a care of the consequences of this reactionary white nationalist bullshit.
A Black law enforcement officer dies for the state that doesn't give two fucks about him. They'll fly flags at half staff, honorary roads and bridges and whatever else they could squeeze from reactionary.
On top of that, they'll blame some entity other than the firearms.
Jodie Arbuckle (right) was killed by the terrorist.
Congress is dealing with mass shootings in its usual partisan fashion. Democrats in the House of Representatives have passed a ban on semi-automatic firearms. It will find a difficult challenge in the Senate because of Sen. Karen Manchin (D-WV) and the 50 Karens in the Senate.
Every community in the United States will eventually have a legacy. A legacy of tragedy. Gun violence, monkeypox and COVID-19 will affect your town, your family and your life. So I don't want to hear that bullshit about how gun reform is taking away your rights to own firearms.
I don't want to hear that protesting against police killing people of color is hate on cops in general. I don't want to hear talk about the coronavirus being a myth.
When you hear folks say "gun rights," what they really mean is that its white privilege. This good guy with a gun nonsense has to end. The cops didn't do nothing when children were shot inside a school. A security guard was shot dead trying to protect shoppers. A cop accidentally shot his own. The good guy who tried to stop a bad guy is outgunned and a part of the rule #3. The "good guy with a gun" better be prepared to die if they want to stop a shooter.
I don't want to hear folks say masks and vaccine mandates impede their freedoms. It prevents a deadly outbreak from spreading. If you want to die from the coronavirus, that's on you. We lost over 1 million people from the coronavirus.
I don't want to hear the shit about guns saving lives. Cause a bullet does not have eyes and it's always likely gonna hit a target. These folks seem to not get it. These incidents are a tragic part of American history. Thoughts and prayers and your heart going out to the victims is not enough. It quite frankly is an insult. I am also tired of scapegoating Black on Black crime, Chicago, Baltimore and Democratic mayors for the nation's obsession to be numb to gun violence. You pretty much enable this nonsense by deflecting.
President Joe Biden is trying to curb gun violence. However, he has no support from Republicans. Most Democrats and America are for gun control measures. However the two Democrats in the Senate refuse to change the filibuster rules and its holding us back.
Matthew Yates died in the line of duty.
The National Rifle Association is always pushing against it. They will not relinquish from the narrative that guns are not saving lives. The Republicans aided by a fickle junk food media are openly encouraging anarchy and disruption in a desperate attempt for the Republicans to win back Congress and the White House. These agitators are calling for Biden to curb crime but will not help him. They want more guns on the street. It makes no sense.

GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE PROBLEM IN THE UNITED STATES.
According to his family, the 79-year old who is best known for playing Wally Cleaver on Leave It to Beaver is in his final hours.
Dow has battled cancer is now in hospice. He has Stage IV throat cancer. The entertainer's manager and his wife has acknowledged that he is still alive but nearing death.
Born in Hollywood, Dow had a show business connection from the beginning: His mother was a stunt performer in the early days of the film industry.
However, Dow was more interested in swimming growing up and was a Junior Olympics diving champion, 0per Variety.
He got his big break in 1957 when he tagged along with a friend to an audition and ended up being cast as Wally, the older brother of Beaver Cleaver, played by Jerry Mathers.
The show ran from 1957 to 1963 and still airs in syndication.
After the show ended, Dow continued to act, but also served in the National Guard between 1965 and 1968, 0according to TMZ.
The Washington Post notes that Dow’s career stalled after his stint in the Guard. He couldn’t make acting commitments, since he never knew when he’d be ordered to report for active duty.
However, he joked that he was cast on the popular cop show “Adam-12” because he “was the only actor in town at that time with short hair.”
In the late ’70s, Dow reunited with Mathers to 0tour dinner theaters in the play “So Long Stanley.”
Tony Dow, Barbara Billingsley, Hugh Beaumont and Jerry Mathers.
In the early ’80s, most of the “Beaver” cast reunited for the television movie “Still the Beaver,” which later inspired a “Leave It To Beaver” reboot that ran on TBS from 1986 to 1989.
Dow directed five episodes and wrote one for the show, and later branched out into directing other series, including “Harry and the Hendersons,” “Coach,” “Babylon 5,” “Honey I Shrunk the Kids” and “Star Trek: Deep Space Nine,” according to Variety.
Beginning in his 20s, Dow battled clinical depression, and gave speeches telling people that “if Wally Cleaver can be depressed, anybody can be.”
He also had a side career as a sculptor. His works appeared in galleries and international exhibitions.
Florida rapper let his guard down and paid the price.
Posting threats and daring people to find your address is pretty stupid. Rollie Bands found out that posting on social media was the dumbest thing to do, especially if you are an entertainer.
He was shot and killed outside his Tampa apartment.
The rapper was on his Instagram stories saying "If a Nigga want smoke....I am at my crib in 5 mins."
The shooting happened in the parking lot of the IQ Apartments on Bruce B. Downs Boulevard in Tampa, Florida, around 3:30 p.m. on Friday, according to the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office.
The victim was taken to a local hospital where — despite receiving lifesaving measures — he died from his injuries, the sheriff’s office said.
The sheriff’s office said the shooting did not appear random as the suspects and victim are possibly known to each other. No arrests have been made in the shooting.
Shortly before the shooting, the rapper had posted an Instagram story saying he was on his way home if they "want smoke," according to HipHopDX.
The terrorists are still at large and the Tampa Police and Hillsborough County Sheriff's office would ask for citizens to bring in tips to solve this murder.
Every community in the United States will eventually have a legacy. A legacy of tragedy. Gun violence, monkeypox and COVID-19 will affect your town, your family and your life. So I don't want to hear that bullshit about how gun reform is taking away your rights to own firearms.
Upcoming rapper made a fatal mistake in posting his address involuntarily.

GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE PROBLEM IN THE UNITED STATES.
We are close to another global pandemic. The World Health Organization has announced that monkeypox is a global concern which is one step from a declaration of a pandemic.
The U.S is leading in cases of monkeypox. Of course, conservatives are scapegoating and leftists are demanding President Joe Biden do something about it.
The disease originated in Nigeria when a man traveled to England. It became a spread soon after.
The outbreak marked the first time monkeypox has spread widely outside Central and West Africa. From May 2022 and onwards, cases were reported from an increasing number of countries and regions, predominantly in Europe but also in North and South America, Asia, Africa, and Australia.
The World Health Organization (WHO) declared the outbreak a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC), raising the status of the outbreak to a global health emergency.
There were a total of 18,597 confirmed cases. About 97% of cases outside of endemic regions in Africa have occurred in the community of men who have sex with men, especially those who have multiple sex partners.
Monkeypox is a viral infection that manifests a week or two after exposure with fever and other non-specific symptoms, and then produces a rash with lesions that usually last for 2-4 weeks before drying up, crusting and falling off. While monkeypox can cause large numbers of lesions, in the current outbreak, some patients experience only a single lesion in the mouth or on the genitals, making it more difficult to differentiate from other infections. In infections before the current outbreak, 1–3 percent of people with known infections have died (without treatment). Cases in children are more likely to be severe, and health authorities emphasized that anyone can catch the disease, particularly if they have close contact with a symptomatic person. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has emphasized the importance of reducing stigma in communicating about the demographic aspects of monkeypox, specifically with regards to gay and bisexual men.
Monkeypox is an infectious viral disease that can occur in humans and some animals. Symptoms include fever, swollen lymph nodes, and a rash that forms blisters and then crusts over. The time from exposure to onset of symptoms ranges from five to twenty-one days. The duration of symptoms is typically two to four weeks. There may be mild symptoms, and it may occur without any symptoms being known. The classic presentation of fever and muscle pains, followed by swollen glands, with lesions all at the same stage, has not been found to be common to all outbreaks. Cases may be severe, especially in children, pregnant women or people with suppressed immune systems.
It is spreading. The Sun Belt and Rust Belt are where the cases are increasing.
The disease is caused by the monkeypox virus, a zoonotic virus in the genus Orthopoxvirus. The variola virus, the causative agent of smallpox, is also in this genus. Of the two types in humans, the West African type causes a less severe disease than the Central African (Congo basin) type. It may spread from infected animals by handling infected meat or via bites or scratches. Human-to-human transmission can occur through exposure to infected body fluids or contaminated objects, by small droplets, and possibly through the airborne route. People can spread the virus from the onset of symptoms until all the lesions have scabbed and fallen off; with some evidence of spread for more than a week after lesions have crusted. Diagnosis can be confirmed by testing a lesion for the virus's DNA.
There is no known cure. A study in 1988 found that the smallpox vaccine was around 85% protective in preventing infection in close contacts and in lessening the severity of the disease. A newer smallpox and monkeypox vaccine based on modified vaccinia Ankara has been approved, but with limited availability. Other measures include regular hand washing and avoiding sick people and other animals. Antiviral drugs, cidofovir and tecovirimat, vaccinia immune globulin and the smallpox vaccine may be used during outbreaks. The illness is usually mild and most of those infected will recover within a few weeks without treatment. Estimates of the risk of death vary from 1% to 10%, although very few deaths as a consequence of monkeypox have been recorded since 2017.
The U.S. is leading in coronavirus cases despite things returning to normal. Washed Up 45 squandered his election chances by literally ignoring the threat. He said it would be like the flu and it will go away.
Yet, the virus spread and all the former president done was call it the China Virus.
Biden who is dealing with the coronavirus is now tasked to establish a monkeypox task force.
The Biden Administration announced the first phase of its national monkeypox vaccine strategy, a critical part of its monkeypox outbreak response. The vaccine strategy will help immediately address the spread of the virus by providing vaccines across the country to individuals at high risk. This phase of the strategy aims to rapidly deploy vaccines in the most affected communities and mitigate the spread of the disease.
This announcement is a critical component of the Administration’s broader public health response, which includes rapidly scaling up and decentralizing testing alongside continued provider education and community engagement across the country. The Administration’s monkeypox outbreak response is also informed by the multiple times over the last twenty years that the United States has effectively responded to the virus. The United States government’s response is coordinated by the National Security Council Directorate on Global Health Security and Biodefense – more commonly known as the White House Pandemic Office – which President Biden restored on day one of his presidency, in collaboration with the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
Vote for Steven Roberts for Missouri's 1st Congressional District.
Ignore the noise.
Vote.
Do-nothing lawmaker bypasses question on whether President Joe Biden should run in 2024. Democrat Cori Bush of Missouri, is an activist turned lawmaker. Bush is a Black leftist who caters to the white leftists.
She is the equivalent of the far right do nothings Karen Boebert of Colorado and Idiot Karen Greene of Georgia.
They are first term lawmakers who rather be trolls, activists and social media darlings than representatives of their districts. They are the type of people I used to hate about high school.
A bunch of motherfucking drama queens.
Add Rep. Karen Cawthorn (R-NC), Rep. Karen Jordan (R-OH), Rep. Karen Jackson (R-TX), Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA), Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY), Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA), Rep. Katie Porter (D-CA) and 75 other members who are known for doing nothing other than being a distraction to America.
Bush has voted against several parts of Biden's legislative agenda, including the bipartisan infrastructure bill. During an interview at her campaign headquarters on Monday morning, she declined to answer directly if she wanted to see Biden run for a second term.
A choice between two toxic candidates.
At first, a campaign aide interjected to try and stop the line of questioning.
"She's got to go," the aide said before Bush jumped in.
"I don't want to answer that question because we have not ... That's not ... Yeah, I don't want to answer that question," she said.
Bush was participating in 5 On Your Side's voter guide that is scheduled to be released later this week ahead of Missouri's primary election.
We're facing threats from a growing far-right, white supremacist movement across Missouri and the country. But I've seen the power we hold when we come together. We've proven it & we'll never back down.
I am proud to work alongside Sen. @BernieSanders to make healthcare a human right, enact a Green New Deal, and fight for justice in the workplace. I’m honored to have his endorsement & look forward to continue building our movement lifting up the power of everyday people. https://t.co/gwO1wIpD6q
Bush was up against a time crunch. She was scheduled to appear at another public event right after the interview was over.
The congresswoman's aides escorted her out of the campaign site and into a vehicle to leave the premises moments after the interview concluded.
“He’s the president," Bush said. "He has the right to run for a second term, absolutely. But I don't want to ... I'd rather you not ask that question."
Biden's poll numbers have declined as the 2022 midterm approaches and inflation soars. However, Bush's reluctance to take on the president's political future likely has more to do with her own as she's competing against state Sen. Steve Roberts, a pro-Biden Democrat who has criticized her for being too far to the left.
2. August 2020: Cori Bush criticized Biden’s pick of Kamala Harris, playing up the “Kamala is a cop” campaign:
“I can’t overlook her past.”
“We can’t forget about the people who were hurt along the way…because of decisions she has made.”
"I support the president. Full stop," Roberts said. "I'm curious to know who Rep. Bush intends on supporting."
Republicans seized on Bush's remarks on social media to highlight the decline in public support for Biden.
The National Republican Congressional Committee shared the clip with the caption, "Nobody thinks Joe Biden is doing a good job."
Bush has faced heat since she took oath of office.
She literally camped outside the steps of the U.S. Capitol to demand Biden extend renter's rights despite the Supreme Court rejecting his authority to do so. She along with Ocasio-Cortez, Pressley and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) made a spectacle of staying outside in sleeping bags eating Fritos and Oreos. Once Biden made an executive order to grant some authority, they left and U.S. Capitol Police told their supporters to clear the area. She was on CBS News basically defending her $200,000 a month private security. The lawmaker said "defund the police" and endorsed washed up politician Nina Turner.
Bush wants to be an activist not a legislator. It is time to send her back to the frontlines.
She can do more work protesting. It does not work for her as a lawmaker.
Full Frontal is cancelled. At a crucial time, WarnerMedia cuts Samantha Bee.
TBS has announced the cancellation of Full Frontal with Samantha Bee.
With seven seasons of the show, the network has decided to not renew it for season eight.
Samantha Bee, a comedian, former contributor and writer for The Daily Show hosted the late night show. The move appears to be a WarnerMedia Discovery move to reduce costs.
“As we continue to shape our new programming strategy, we’ve made some difficult, business-based decisions. ‘Full Frontal With Samantha Bee′ will not return to TBS,” network representatives said in a statement. “We are proud to have been the home to ‘Full Frontal With Samantha Bee’ and thank Sam, and the rest of the Emmy-nominated team for their groundbreaking work. We celebrate this extraordinarily talented cast and crew and look forward to exploring new opportunities to work with them in the future.”
To our loyal fans - we love you, you’re very special. Go home, and go home in peace.
— Full Frontal with Samantha Bee (@FullFrontalSamB) July 25, 2022
Full Frontal is leaving TBS to go spend more time with her family.
— Full Frontal with Samantha Bee (@FullFrontalSamB) July 25, 2022
I feel a powerful love for all the wonderful people behind this incredible show… https://t.co/0N2t07gCoY
I will only imagine that Bee will hammer the network for being "cost efficient."
"After 7 seasons, Full Frontal with Samantha Bee will not be returning to TBS this fall," the show announced Monday on its official Twitter account. "We're so thankful for our loyal audience, our amazing team, and that we got to annoy the right people every week—that there wasn't wrestling or baseball or a very special episode of 'Big Bang.'"
"To our loyal fans - we love you, you're very special. Go home, and go home in peace," the show's statement continued.
During its run, "Full Frontal with Samantha Bee" was nominated four times in the best variety talk series Emmy category. One of the show's specials, "Full Frontal with Samantha Bee Presents Not the White House Correspondents' Dinner," earned an Emmy for outstanding writing for a variety special in 2017.
Bee has been on the forefront of taking on Washed Up 45, the Supreme Court, sexism, racism, the Republicans and sheer stupidity in America.
Asked about the reason for the cancellation, a TBS spokesperson told CNN: "As we continue to shape our new programming strategy, we've made some difficult, business-based decisions."
"We are proud to have been the home to 'Full Frontal with Samantha Bee' and thank Sam, and the rest of the Emmy-nominated team for their groundbreaking work," the statement continued. "We celebrate this extraordinarily talented cast and crew and look forward to exploring new opportunities to work with them in the future."
Not one to leave anything on a sour note, the show's Twitter account for the show joked: "'Full Frontal' is leaving TBS to go spend more time with her family."
Her show leaves a huge gap for women in comedy.
Being the only woman on cable to host a late night comedy show, it was a huge success to have Samantha Bee.
Iconic British actor who starred in movies, television and animation passed away at the age of 80.
David Warner, who had roles in Titanic, The Omen, Tron and Time Bandits passed away from a cancer-related illness. I best known him as the voice as Ra's al Ghu, an arch enemy in DCAU, Batman The Animated Series, Batman Beyond and Superman The Animated Series.
David was born in 1941 in Manchester, Lancashire, the son of Ada Doreen Hattersley and Herbert Simon Warner, a nursing home proprietor. He was born out of wedlock and frequently taken to be brought up by each of his parents, eventually settling with his Russian Jewish father and his stepmother.
David was an English actor, who worked in film, television, and theatre. He attended the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art and after making his stage debut in 1962 he joined the Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC) with whom he played Henry VI in The Wars of the Roses cycle at the West End's Aldwych Theatre in 1964 before the RSC cast him as Prince Hamlet in Peter Hall's 1965 production of Hamlet. He attained prominence on screen in 1966 through his lead performance in the Karel Reisz film Morgan: A Suitable Case for Treatment, for which he was nominated for the BAFTA Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role.
He graduated from RADA in 1961.
He voiced numerous characters on television. Some of the most notable besides Batman The Animated Series include:
Masada, Men In Black: The Animated Series, Freakazoid!, The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy, Ripper Street and Mary Poppins Returns.
The actor died of a cancer-related illness on Sunday in London, his family told the BBC. “Over the past 18 months he approached his diagnosis with a characteristic grace and dignity,” his family said in a statement shared with the BBC.
“He will be missed hugely by us, his family and friends, and remembered as a kind-hearted, generous and compassionate man, partner and father, whose legacy of extraordinary work has touched the lives of so many over the years. We are heartbroken,” the statement continued.
Let's go down the list of many deadly encounters for police and first responders.
1, Routine traffic stop. 2. Answering a domestic violence or a mentally ill call. 3. Animal (cat, dog, coyote, bear or rabid animal attack). 4. Water rescue (ice, high water or flash flooding). 5. Mass shooting. 6. Friendly fire. 7. Traffic control. 8. High speed pursuits. 9. Exposure to biohazards/pathogens (HIV, STDs, food, blood, vomit or COVID-19). 10. Swatting (including making false statements, hostage negotiations and criminal damaging). 11. Weather (tornadoes, hurricanes, wildfires and blizzards). 12. Stress (suicide, domestic issues at home, alcohol abuse, corruption, racism or harassment).
Clark County Sheriff's office confirm Matthew Yates, a 15-year deputy was killed on Sunday after a confrontation with a terrorist in a Springfield, Ohio trailer park. From what I am gathering the shooter was possibly a woman.
Blame Game expected.
The incident has gotten national attention because the deputy was African American and the incident comes days after a series police-involved shootings in Cincinnati, Marysville, Springboro and Akron.
President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, Gov. Karen DeWine, Sen. Karen Portman (R-OH), Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) and the Ohio U.S. Representatives were notified.
DeWine ordered flags to be lowered. Of course, thoughts and prayers.
The incident at the Harmony Estates trailer park in Harmony Township. The deputy was responding to a call of shots fired on Sunday. As he approached a mobile home, the terrorists ambushed him. He was shot and seriously. He ended up dying at a local hospital in Dayton.
The terrorists then held up the law for hours. During the hold up, he shot another deputy.
The other deputy did survive his injuries. The Clark County sheriff, Deborah K. Burchett confirmed that Yates died during surgery.
The trailer then caught fire and the terrorists was killed in the fire. The Dayton Police SWAT and bomb squad did not find any deadly explosives during the standoff. The Springfield Police, Clark County sheriff's office had said that Yates had a "heart of gold."
The deputy is the latest to be killed in Clark County. Suzanne Hopper was gunned down in a trailer park in Enon, Ohio by a terrorist. She and another responding deputy were ambushed by a terrorist. It happened at the Enon Beach Campgrounds and the terrorist was killed. It happened on Jan. 1, 2011.
Burchett provided further details in a prepared statement late Sunday. She said deputies responded to the Harmony Estates Mobile Home Park after a 911 call reporting that an unknown female broke into the residence and fired five to six shots.
When deputies arrived, they attempted to check inside the mobile home and were met by gunfire. Yates was struck and went down inside the home.
Clark County Special Operations, of which Yates was a member, and several other tactical teams were called in to rescue the deputy. He was taken by Careflight to Miami Valley Hospital, where he died of his injuries.
Large police presence.
“Please keep the Yates family in your thoughts and prayers,” wrote Burchett in the statement.
Rep. Karen Davidson (R-OH) who represents a district between Cincinnati and Dayton that includes all of Butler County and half of Hamilton County, tweeted out his condolences to Yates’ friends and family.
“My condolences and deepest sympathies for the friends and family of Clark County Deputy Matthew Yates, 15-year veteran of the force, who was killed by gunfire today. Thank you to all our law enforcement who risk everything to keep our communities safe,” he wrote.
Democratic gubernatorial nominee Nan Whaley also tweeted, “My heart goes out to the loved ones of Clark County Sheriff’s Deputy Matthew Yates who was killed tonight in the line of duty.”
The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation is investigating the incident.
Every community in the United States will eventually have a legacy. A legacy of tragedy. Gun violence and COVID-19 will affect your town, your family and your life. So I don't want to hear that bullshit about how gun reform is taking away your rights to own firearms.
I don't want to hear that protesting against police killing people of color is hate on cops in general. I don't want to hear talk about the coronavirus being a myth.
When you hear folks say "gun rights," what they really mean is that its white privilege. This good guy with a gun nonsense has to end. The cops didn't do nothing when children were shot inside a school. A security guard was shot dead trying to protect shoppers. A cop accidentally shot his own. The good guy who tried to stop a bad guy is outgunned and a part of the rule #3. The "good guy with a gun" better be prepared to die if they want to stop a shooter.
I don't want to hear folks say masks and vaccine mandates impede their freedoms. It prevents a deadly outbreak from spreading. If you want to die from the coronavirus, that's on you. We lost over 1 million people from the coronavirus.
The mobile home where the terrorist fired upon law enforcement burnt down.
I don't want to hear the shit about guns saving lives. Cause a bullet does not have eyes and it's always likely gonna hit a target. These folks seem to not get it. These incidents are a tragic part of American history. Thoughts and prayers and your heart going out to the victims is not enough. It quite frankly is an insult. I am also tired of scapegoating Black on Black crime, Chicago, Baltimore and Democratic mayors for the nation's obsession to be numb to gun violence. You pretty much enable this nonsense by deflecting.
President Joe Biden is trying to curb gun violence. However, he has no support from Republicans. Most Democrats and America are for gun control measures. However the two Democrats in the Senate refuse to change the filibuster rules and its holding us back.
The National Rifle Association is always pushing against it. They will not relinquish from the narrative that guns are not saving lives. The Republicans aided by a fickle junk food media are openly encouraging anarchy and disruption in a desperate attempt for the Republicans to win back Congress and the White House. These agitators are calling for Biden to curb crime but will not help him. They want more guns on the street. It makes no sense.

GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE PROBLEM IN THE UNITED STATES.
Again, watching wildlife from a distance is safer than going near.
Can we do a Darwin Award for the most stupidest people on the planet?
You can't fix stupid!
You can't change minds!
You are completely trapped in stupid.
You are wrapped and emboldened in stupid.
Again, why do white people always treat wild animals like they're domesticated?
I would never touch a wild animal.
Man barely survived a snake attack. A python wrapped its body around his neck.
Alas, some people think that animals are timid when you're petting them. Nope.
Pennsylvania man decided to get him a pet python. He decided to treat his new pet like it was part of the family. Oh, how stupid of him.
Police had to kill the reptile after it decided to treat his owner like a dinner. The animal wrapped its body around the neck and tried to suffocate him. The snake was 15-feet long and it was doing what it was supposed to do, eat a prey.
This happened Wednesday in Upper Macungie Township, about an hour north of Philadelphia.
Police were called to the home of a 28-year-old man in cardiac arrest.
The man was lying on the floor unconscious.
Officers say the snake's midsection was wrapped around the man's throat, but that the snake's head was just far enough away from the man for a safe shot.
That shot caused the snake to loosen its grip. It slithered away before it died.
Neighbors say they often see the man either holding the snake outside of his house or through windows in the house.
It's not clear what type of snake it was or why it attacked the owner.
The man was still alive when he was taken to the hospital. There was no word on his condition Friday morning.
How to survive a non venomous snake attack. If the reptile does wrap around your body, you must grab the tail of the snake and try to grip it before it catches your neck. If it catches the neck, it will try to use its muscles to restrict a victim's breathing.
Non venomous snakes do bite. It carries bacteria inside its mouth.
These animals are extremely difficult to release without a secondary person. It would be extremely wise to never leave children or animals near boa constrictors, pythons and venomous snakes.
Cops had to kill the snake.
Also, please understand this.
What to do if you are bitten by a pit viper.
1. Do not panic. It drives up the heart rate.
2. Do not suck out the venom.
3. Apply ice to the wound.
4. Make sure you keep a phone on you to contact 9-1-1.
5. Get anti-venom as soon as possible.
If you are within a snake's path. In the case of a rattlesnake, remain calm.
1. Back away from the snake if you hear the rattling of its tail.
2. Carry a shovel or a bottle of rubbing alcohol in case of defending yourself.
3. If you decapitate a pit viper, do not pick up the head. The snake can still bite you.
4. Stay away from pit vipers. Do not approach them.
5. To prevent a bite, stay back 30 feet and give the pit viper its space.
It's the unfortunate cause and effect of animals and people.
I've said it before and I stand by what I say: "Wild animals are......well you know!"
If you want to be a thrill seeker, you might want to get life insurance.
One performed at an event that drew thousands. One failed to perform for hundreds.
Kid Cudi kept his word when he was constantly pelted with trash after he performed at the Rolling Loud festival. He drew a huge crowd. When the trash kept coming, he said he would stop performing. True to his word.
Kid Cudi admits he has mental issues and he does not react well to disruptive behavior of his fans. I give him credit for handling the situation as best as he could.
On the other hand, white rioters destroy a state fair because a Washed Up 45 supporting entertainer skipped the venue.
Note: The junk food media said fans trash venue. If it was a Black venue, a protest or a rap concert, I bet you money, the junk food media call it a riot.
Kid Rock is a washed up celebrity who turned MAGA. He has a trashy Nashville club and he is a raging racist asshole. He was once a rapper now turned country-rock entertainer.
The washed up entertainer was scheduled to perform at the North Dakota State Fair.
Normally, he would perform rain or shine, so I don't get why he would cancel his performance?
The performance was nixed at the last minute, after more than two hours of fans watching Night Ranger perform for the opening act. There was reportedly wind and lightning on the outskirts of town, which had delayed Kid Rock's show.

Fans were captured on video hurling beer cans and bottles toward the stage following news that the event was canceled, upset because it appeared the storm was beginning to clear.
At least one person was apprehended by police. The one fan was tackled after he attempted to climb onto the platform. He was later seen escorted away in handcuffs by police.
Kid Rock released a statement on Twitter after the cancelation expressing his frustration with the evening's circumstances.
"SO PISSED OFF we could not play for a sold out crowd tonight in Minot, ND (because of high winds) - I know it sucks but none of us can control mother nature. Please be safe leaving and take care of each other," he wrote.
There were around 18,000 fans in attendance, according to TMZ.
The North Dakota State Fair said in a statement the performance was canceled over safety concerns and promised to refund ticket holders.
"The Sheriff's Department would like to clarify to tonight's concert fans that the decision to cancel the Kid Rock concert was not made by the Sheriff's Department. The Sheriff simply announced the cancellation," the Ward County Sheriff's Department wrote on Facebook. "We did not cancel the show."
