Baltimore Police are watching for extremist activity.
The domestic terrorist groups The Bloods, The Crips and the Black Guerrilla Family formed an uneasy alliance. This alliance is calling for domestic attacks on law enforcement in the wake of Freddie Gray's death and the results from the six other high profile shootings in the past years.
These domestic terrorist groups are notorious street gangs.
The United States Justice Department and Homeland Security rank these organizations as criminal gangs that advocate drug and human trafficking. These groups recruit young men and women to commit violent acts upon individuals.
BGF is notorious street gang.
Baltimore Police already facing heavy fire for the death of Freddie Gray are now on high alert.
There's a credible threats that these groups are willing to die if they're able to "take out" law enforcement.
The FBI and local law enforcement are looking into this.
The BGF has made some news back in the hey day. A scandal in the Baltimore City Lockup got the news buzzing about a drug lord and his harem. He managed to control the BGF from the iron college.
The Big Player in the Iron College, Tavon White got through a few years of good behavior.
Unfortunately, it was not a good reason for it. Some members of the state prison where he was a resident got involved in the game. White bribed male guards and wooed female guards with luxury while he was facing time. He managed to get some of them knocked up.
Everyone that latched on White were fired and given either time in the iron college, probation or a reprieve. The reprieve meaning that they're forever banned from law enforcement and they will be watched by the law everywhere they travel.
The uneasy truce with rivals. These domestic terrorists threatened to "take out" cops.
White got 12 years in federal time out plus the 20 years of state charges. It runs the same so in terms of sentence 35 years overall.
Now he's in the federal time out for that event. And I am guessing he's watching his back as well. He snitched on the BGF. In exchange for describing the gang's operations and naming the officers involved, White will serve his 12-year sentence concurrently with the 20-year attempted murder rap he was already in for, meaning he won't do any additional time. He'll likely be transferred to a detention facility that he didn't previously control from inside.
The Department of Homeland Security not only monitors threats from international terrorism, but criminal activities from White extremists, lone wolf extremism, drug traffickers, pimps, street gangs, and cyber hackers.
All these threats are domestic terrorism in my book.
Domestic terrorists are often willing to die for their beliefs.
Today they had to bury Freddie Gray. The uproar started when a person filmed Baltimore police drag Freddie by the knees after an arrest. The law doesn't know what happened, but Freddie had a spinal injury that put him in the wooden box.
The city's mayor Stephanie Rowlings-Blake and police commissioner Anthony Batts both express patience and urge residents to avoid criminal activity.
After Saturday's fiasco, the AM agitators are already claiming that it's rampant riots and looting in Baltimore. That's not the case. It was a riot around Camden Yards.
If it was widespread riots in Baltimore, the Republican governor of Maryland, Larry Hogan would have ordered the National Guard to aid the police in order. That didn't happen. A few fist flew, a handful businesses were damaged and the media had cameras in tow.
Nothing but an isolated incident blown out of proportion by the junk food media and conservative agitators. All are guilty of inspiring these domestic terrorists to threaten police.
The conservative Craigslist and Loserville are free to express their condescending rhetoric. No one is stopping them from that. But what they're doing is no different than the individuals who rioted.
Located in Xenia Township, Ohio in the census designated town of Wilberforce is two historically Black universities are on the verge of fiscal and educational disaster.
Central State University is facing fiscal programs.
Wilberforce University established in 1856 is facing not only fiscal programs but the loss of educational accreditation.
Students and facility are pretty damn pissed about the conditions of the institution. They wanted to protest the ungodly conditions and call for the cannon to fire. In that cannon, comes the president, and head student facilities manager. Students want them fired out the cannon.
The student enrollment has dropped over 15% from the last decade and it seems like nothing is changing.
Wilberforce University is trying to plug the leaks. Because if the Ohio Department of Education repeals the school's academic standings, it's toast. It will be doomed and it will likely close.
Algeania Freeman is hoping that Wilberforce will keep its glory intact despite calls for her to bounce.
The two previous presidents were disastrous. Floyd Flake and Patricia Hardaway didn't give two about the college. They spent money on their friends and allowed the university to fall apart.
Central State University is about 1/4 mile down the road. It became a college in the 1887 and has a top ranked NCAA-II football team and famous marching band.
Both that could all be wiped away when the budget comes out.
The Ohio Board of Regents and State Auditor put CSU on fiscal watch. It's in danger of being taken over by the state. It has 90 days to get its act in order.
Central State University is located in Wilberforce, Ohio about 35 miles from Dayton.
CSU president Dr. Cynthia Jackson-Hammond is dismissing the possibility and is working on trying to keep the university above the water.
In a press release statement:
“Central State University is aggressively working to improve the University’s financial balance as we recruit and retain more college-ready Ohio students. Over the past two years (FY 2013 & FY 2014), independent, external audits have confirmed sound accounting practices. Those audits contained “no qualifications,” which indicate that this institution is fiscally sound and implements quality standards of its fiscal operations. The major contributor to the decrease in Central State’s Senate Bill 6 composite score is the decline in student enrollment, which is evident at many colleges across the nation. Although the University receives on average 5,500 applications a year, many of these high potential students are plagued by their limited ability to meet the parental/family contributions required by the Federal Pell Grant Program Changes to the Federal Pell Grant Program and also the Parent Plus Loan have negatively impacted college affordability for first-generation college students. Tuition and fees represent 46 percent of the University’s revenue streams annually; thus, there is a direct correlation between student enrollment and retention and university revenue.”
CSU has seen a decrease larger than Wilberforce. It had a drop 30% in registered students.
Both are Black historical colleges. Wilberforce University is oldest institution in country.
Wilberforce University is a private, coed, liberal arts historically black university (HBCU) located in Wilberforce, Ohio. Affiliated with the African Methodist Episcopal (AME) Church, it was the first college to be owned and operated by African Americans. It participates in the United Negro College Fund. It's a private university.
Central State University, commonly referred to as CSU, is a historically black university (HBCU) located in Wilberforce, Ohio, United States. Central State University is a member-school of the Thurgood Marshall College Fund. It's a public university.
Established by the state legislature in 1887 as a two-year program for normal (teacher) and industrial training, it was originally located with Wilberforce University, a four-year institution devoted to classical academic education. In 1941 the college gained a four-year curriculum, independent status in 1947, and was renamed as Central State College in 1951. With further development, it gained university status in 1965. In 2014, Central State University received designation as an 1890 Land-Grant Institution.
This man charged at a police officer and yet didn't get shot or physically restrained.
This guy charged at a police officer like a football player and yet he didn't get shot and killed.
Dayton, Ohio man is in the county lock up for felonious assault on a police officer. Minus the underage drinking charge, the suspect Steven Line, got some time out in the county lockup after he attempted to headbutt and bite at Dayton police officers.
The 19-year old man was apparently in his underwear and in the back of a home. He was completely knocked out. When officers tried to revive him, he gets violent.
See if the guy was probably Black or Hispanic, the law would probably have used the Taser or the service weapon to put him down.
This guy is going to face a judge on Monday.
At least he'll have drug and alcohol treatment and probably probation for the charging at an officer.
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.
The Black Lives Matters movement has generated a White man's protest against police brutality.
This man's pissed that the officer in fatal shooting of John Crawford III walked free and the many other high profile shootings that happened across the nation.
For that he steps on the American flag. And set off a firestorm of controversy.
On top of that, he's gotten death threats and attracted the local junk food media. Once it goes viral, expect Loserville, the conservative agitators and the clown car to talk about it.
Wright State University will have some flack from the conservative agitators. Especially the ones who serve in military. Wright State University is located close to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.
Both are located six miles from Dayton, Ohio.
"My first thought was no he is not standing on an American flag," said Sarah Weaver, a WSU student with a husband who served in the military, "There was a group of veterans standing across from him and I was waiting for things to get ugly."
Man stands on the American flag. The protest is against police brutality
Wright State Spokesperson Seth Baugess said it was unclear if the protester was an active student at the university.
The protester's sign read:
"I stand...
-With Eric Shappard and the preservation of 1st Amendment rights
-For all men and woman in service to this country
-For the accountability of media and other social institutions
-Justice, equity, tolerance, and diversity
-Upon the belief higher learning should provoke students to question social norms, mainstream values, and power structures
-The 'American" spirit, is a revolutionary spirit
-On the American flag because there's nothing more American than that!
"You have that initial emotional outburst, I was like hey, you know, a couple bad words, I was really upset," said Nick Cassel, a Navy Corpsman who served in Afghanistan but now attends the university.
"I agree with a lot of issues he had," Cassel said, "I'm all about free-speech, I'm all about the right to assemble, I think that's the most important thing we have and that's the thing I thought for over there, but the way he was doing it was not the proper way to do it on a veteran campus right next to the Air Force Base."
"I guess for him to disrespect the very simple that gives him the right to his free speech was very disrespectful to me," said veteran Brian Chriswell, who witnessed the protest during a lunch break with his wife and Wright State student Emily.
Campus police came during the protest to prevent a fight but did not make any arrests.
"I remembered what we learned in class people are allowed to stand on the American flag it's technically protected freedom of speech," said Sarah Weaver.
Cassel said he engaged in what he called a healthy debate with the protestor, and was thankful it remained mostly peaceful except for the verbal disagreements.
"The symbolism I attach to the flag is you know my dead friends," Cassel said, "He didn't associate the flag that way he associated it with a corrupt government, things like that and that's when he was stepping on it and that's when we bashed heads."
When the protest was over, Cassel recovered the flag and said he planned to keep it through the weekend before turning it in to the campus Veteran's Center, "Just to let it know that someone cares about it," he explained.
The Florida courts rule in the death of Robert Champion.
Robert Champion's death in a hazing incident led to some of the band members tapping license plates.
Back in the 2011, Champion a drum major who attended Florida A&M was given a serious beat down on a charter bus. When they tried to wake him up, they found Champion unconscious.
He collapsed after undergoing a ritual referred to as "the gauntlet", in which band members must walk from the front of the bus to the back while other band members kick, punch, and hit him with straps, drum sticks and other objects. Fellow band members told detectives that the ritual is required in order to be considered for leadership positions.
His family considered it to be a hate crime because they believed (or assured) their son was gay.
It took a few hours in the courtroom to find some of the 15 members guilty of manslaughter.
That charge alone could land the guilty in the iron college for 5 to 20 years.
The AP reports the jurors left the courtroom around 3:50 p.m. to being deliberating, following closing arguments and jury instructions Friday.
In his closings, a prosecutor said the three remaining defendants on trial for the hazing death of a Florida A&M drum major didn't beat him because they disliked him but because it was tradition.
A total of 15 defendants were charged originally, but most took plea deals.
State Attorney Jeff Ashton said Friday during closing arguments that Robert Champion's death was the result of a hazing tradition that was ingrained in the school's famed band.
Closing arguments were delayed after Ashton wanted to find out if jurors were influenced by the sight of two defendants praying outside the courtroom.
Five of the six jurors said they saw Aaron Golson and Benjamin McNamee praying.
Judge Renee Roche questioned the jurors but no one said it would influence them.
McNamee, Golson and Darryl Cearnel are the final three defendants charged with manslaughter and hazing in Champion's death.
Champion's beating death aboard a band bus parked outside an Orlando hotel after a football game exposed a culture of hazing within the school's famed band.
The medical examiner testified Thursday morning. She told the court how the hazing ritual killed FAMU drum major Robert Champion.
Good food Bayou. The New Orleans based Popeye's is doing damage control after one of its franchises fired a pregnant woman after she was told to payback the loot a robber stole.
Popeye's Chicken & Biscuits are company owned and franchised. The one that fired a woman out of the canon after an armed robbery was franchised. The controversy in suburban Houston managed to make the news.
A pregnant woman was told to pay up the loot after she was robbed at gunpoint at a Channelview Popeye's. According to her, her managers wanted her to fork up the $$$ after she was held up.
She refused and a few days later, she got fired out the cannon. Now she's telling her story to the junk food media and the public is none too happy about it.
Yeah, I understand that no one wants to be a part of an armed robbery. The victims are usually traumatized once they see the silver revolver in their face.
Yeah, companies may have the right to fire you based on work performance.
Obviously, most employers that have register operators tell them to keep it short. Because if you have more than $200 in your register, you're inviting yourself to an armed robbery.
Register operators are often naive on the rule. Say it was a busy day, they were holding a whole lot of $5s and $10s in their register but eliminated the larger denominations. Rather than keep it low, they keep enough of the smaller bills. So if you have over $200 in smaller bills, you're still giving an opportunity to a robber. You could get fired for it.
Marissa Holcomb got fired out the cannon after she got the silver in her face. Her bosses wanted her to payback the loot and she refused to comply.
Understanding that having too much money in your register automatically assures that you not focused on the safety of you and the liability of the company. They understand you were robbed but if you gave them a reason to be robbed, then they focus on your responsibilities as register operator.
It's not fair but it's a part of the economic food chain in capitalism.
Marissa Holcomb was the evening manager at Popeye's when the sliver was pointed in her face during a busy March 31 sales period.
Holcomb, who is a mother of three with a fourth child on the way, had a meeting with Z & H Foods owner Amin Dhanani on Wednesday, a day after our original story aired of her firing.
"He just apologized and pretty much offered me if I wanted to go back to his business and work there again," she said.
Dhanani argued she was fired because she broke policy multiple times by leaving too much money in the register.
Holcomb argued it was a busy Tuesday when they offer a 2-piece chicken meal for $1.19 and she moved money as fast as she could.
The unidentified robber got away with nearly $400.
Will Marisa take the job back?
Of course, this controversy managed to put Popeye's in a negative light. Usually most companies don't like the negative publicity coming from the social media when it comes to a social ill (i.e women, minorities and the disabled).
The Real is a daytime syndication show that features Tamara Mowry-Housley, Adrienne Bailon, Tamar Braxton, Loni Love and Jeannie Mai.
The Real is on BET during the nights, Fox and CW-owned television stations during its normal run.
The show is similar to juggernauts The View and The Talk.
The five host talk about issues that involve pop culture, politics, women's issues and family.
Warner Bros. Distribution owns the rights to the show.
According to the Council on American-Islamic Relations, two women who were watching a taping of The Real were told to move out of their seats after complaints from Mowry-Housley.
The Raw Story and Addicting Info obtained information about the controversy.
The women were allegedly asked to sit off-camera during a taping of the daytime show The Real in Los Angeles this past February. CAIR’s Los Angeles office said in a statement that, while the women complied with the request, the studio had no legal authority to enact such a rule.
“No studio should maintain such a discriminatory policy that prohibits people wearing religious head coverings from being seen in its studio audiences,” said Fatima Dadabhoy, a civil rights attorney for the group. “It’s especially baffling that this particular show would want to hide their visibly-Muslim viewers, when the show purports to cater to a wide-ranging audience with its diverse cast.”
CAIR’s statement also highlighted a remark from one of the show’s hosts, Tamera Mowry-Housley, gushing about the show’s diverse outlook.
“I love to be traditional and just because you are conservative or a traditional person doesn't mean you have to be boring!,” she said on the show’s website. “The greatest thing about America is its diversity and this show reflects that diversity. No matter who you are, there is someone at this table that will be speaking for you.”
Tamara Mowery-Housley's husband is a Loserville host and contributor.
Dadabhoy’s group said it filed a complaint late last week with the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing. But according to the Hollywood Reporter, Warner Bros. was not aware of the incident and never received a copy of CAIR’s complaint.
“Warner Bros. policy is to welcome everyone and anyone into our studio audience,” the studio said in a separate statement. “The Real is a show that was created to represent and celebrate diversity. We take this inquiry seriously and are looking into the matter.”
Tamara and her sister Tia Mowry-Hardict are the famed Mowry twins. They are very close at most things. Politics is not one of them.
Mowry-Housely is married to Loserville radio host and contributor Adam Housley.
Hani Khan's case against the clothing company Abercrombie & Fitch is in the Supreme Court. She was fired after she failed to obey "The Look" and she took them to court. The decision is coming.
The Housleys got some heat after she revealed that she's a Black Republican and endorsed perennial loser Mitt Romney for president. Housley and his wife have received backlash on social media for their marriage, largely focusing on their interracial relationship and also because of his position at Loserville. He has aggressively defended his wife and family with some harsh words for those who levy racially-charged insults.
In one response he said, “The fact that in this day and age, we get attacked for our interracial relationship is beyond sad…it is pathetic. Yes I am white. Yes she is half black. Marrying a white man does not erase her color and marrying a woman who is half black does not mean I am blinded. The problem isn't pigmentation…the problem is backwards, bigoted thought from people who should know better.
I guess Adam got into Tamara's head that Muslims are "Oh so scary" and the repeated talking point about "radical Islam" in our country.
Tamara had a fit and told producers to get rid of them. Only accusations and not proven fact. But due to her political standings on issues, it's likely fact.
The country's worst cable news host gets combative with the lawyer of a family seeking information on woman who may have left the United States to join the Islamic State terrorist group.
Mediaite is right, this annoying conservative agitator's program is by far the worst cable news show to ever be on. To be quite frank with you, he's so annoying, you have to change the channel whenever you listen or watch him.
He and that old fart are so controversial, many national brands avoid them. When that old fart attacked Sandra Fluke on radio, he put a big dent in his well protected armor. Many activists force a boycott on him, this annoying agitator and Glenn Beck. The activists succeeded in getting many brands (i.e. Walmart, GM, McDonald's, U.S. Army, etc.).
The activists are trying to have them pulled from Armed Forces Radio.
Since 2012, the iHeart Media Group is trying to save grace. They know that it's costing a whole lot of $$$$$ to keep these two agitators on. I mean seriously, talk radio is thriving in the Obama years, but its not making money and that's what's killing it.
Chief Roger had a damn good reason to demote this clown to the 10pm slot. His show is too bland.
There's nothing but screaming and vicious name calling on this right wing carnival. The agitator can't even go a day without name dropping President Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and everyone who's pissed him off in some way.
Hoda Muthana gave up everything. She fell in love with a man who may have ties to the Islamic State.
The agitator is a walking, talking, word vomit. You have to scoop up enough of it before you lose your lunch.
On occasions, since I am so thankful I have no cable, I often get the opportunity to view this garbage on Mediaite and YouTube.
The moron was talking about the evil "radical Islam" and this American woman who left her home in Alabama to join the Islamic State.
The family of Hoda Muthana are desperately search for their daughter. They pray that she didn't fall in love with a man who may have been inspired by the extremist group.
The Council on American–Islamic Relations (CAIR) is a Muslim civil liberties advocacy organization that deals with civil advocacy. It is headquartered on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., with regional offices nationwide. CAIR is a civil rights group. Their job is monitor extremism from those who may get involved into terrorism. They also monitor hate crimes upon Muslims and all practicing faiths (inspired right wing extremism).
CAIR is very familiar with that guy.
Through media relations, lobbying, and education, CAIR presents an Islamic perspective on issues of importance to the American public, and seeks to empower the American Muslim community and encourage its social and political activism. Annual banquets, through which CAIR raises the majority of its funds, are attended by American politicians, statesmen, interfaith leaders, activists and media personalities.
Critics of CAIR consider it to be pursuing an extreme Islamic agenda.
In 2007 the organization was named, along with 245 others, by U.S. Federal prosecutors in a list of unindicted co-conspirators and/or joint venturers in a Hamas funding case involving the Holy Land Foundation, which in 2009 caused the FBI to cease working with CAIR outside of criminal investigations due to its designation.
The junk food media spooks Americans into believing a handful of men are more dangerous than a natural disaster.
CAIR was never charged with any crime, and it complained that the designation had tarnished its reputation. Following a motion from CAIR and other groups, a federal appeals court sealed the list on October 20, 2010, ruling the designation violated the group's rights and was the result of "simply an untested allegation of the Government, made in anticipation of a possible evidentiary dispute that never came to pass."
CAIR has been criticized numerous times by various officials and organizations. The organization was criticized as pursuing an extremist Islamist agenda, and putting out propaganda.
It has been listed as a terrorist group by the United Arab Emirates.
Hassan Shibly, the executive director of CAIR Florida, was on that right wing carnvial to talk about his representation of the family of Alabama college student Hoda Muthana, who left the U.S. to join ISIS and did an exclusive interview with BuzzFeed.
Shibly said the family is horrified by how she’s now surrounded by an “extremist violent gang of monsters.”
That annoying conservative agitator repeatedly pressed Shibly on why CAIR’s involved and called them a controversial group. Shibly told him to stop changing the subject, and he said, “I’ll ask any question I want, this is my show.”
But it got even more heated when that annoying conservative agitator asked Shibly if Hamas is a terrorist organization. Shibly got annoyed with the fool, and kept saying this is not what he came on to discuss.
As that annoying conservative agitator appeared to wrap up the interview, Shibly said, “Shame on you for just asking every Muslim what he thinks of terrorist organizations.”
Truly another pain inducing interview in which a real serious issue becomes a shouting match.
That annoying agitator doesn't give two fucks about that young woman. All he cares about is trying to expose "radical Islam" and attack President Barack Obama for not saying it.
So are you preparing for the cancellation?
I betcha that he'll be there until 2016. If his show contributes to a Democrat getting elected, he's going to be flying right out of the tent of Loserville studios. The cannon is ready to fire.
Robert Bates wants to celebrate the last moments of his freedom by taking a trip out of the country. Will he come back?
Robert Bates, the reserve deputy who shot an unarmed suspect with his firearm thinking he deployed a Taser is out on bail and he's thinking about escaping to a place where he may feel a little heat.
A paradise. The island nation of the Bahamas is where Bates is hoping to take a vacation to while he's awaiting a second degree manslaughter trial.
The family of Eric Harris is none too happy about this news.
Bates' lawyers told the judge that Bates, a reserve deputy with the Tulsa County sheriff's office, and his family planned to take their previously planned vacation ahead of his next court date in July.
"It's really not an issue," Corbin Brewster, one of Bates' attorneys, said in an interview after the hearing.
Harris' family criticized the trip, saying it sends a message "of apathy with respect to the shooting and Eric's life."
"At a time when we are still mourning the death of a loved one that he shot down in the street, Mr. Bates will be relaxing and enjoying his wealth and privilege," the family said in a statement released Tuesday.
They want this guy's restrictions either in the county lockup or watching the Bahamas on television.
Because if he could get out on a minimum bond, then the perception of White privilege and favoritism comes to mind.
What if he eludes custody? If he's a flight risk and he manages to escape authorities to a nation that doesn't extradite criminals back to the United States, what will they do now?
Eric Harris (right) was killed after Bates, a reserve deputy shot him. Harris was unarmed at apprehension.
Bates is good buddies with the Tulsa County sheriff and Tulsa Metro police. He personally knows the Sheriff of the Tulsa County.
He plead not guilty and he's decided to promise to return back to court once he gets his vacation over with.
CBS News reports that Bates was charged after the sheriff's office released video of the shooting, in which Bates is overheard apologizing for shooting the suspect.
Harris' family has questioned whether Bates was qualified to conduct police work. Their attorneys allege that the Tulsa County Sheriff's Office violated several of its own policies by not keeping a permanent record of Bates' certifications and allowing him to carry his personal handgun after training on another weapon.
But Sheriff Stanley Glanz said Bates - his longtime insurance agent and former campaign manager - had been properly trained and passed annual firearms certifications required by the state.
Bates, who sold his insurance business for $6 million in 1999, was trained to be a Tulsa Police Department patrolman in 1964, but he left the department in 1965.
He was out of law enforcement for 35 years before returning for volunteer work in Florida in 2000, and the Tulsa County force in 2008. Bates also made several donations to the Tulsa County sheriff's office, and was Glanz' campaign manager during the 2012 election.
On Monday, Glanz said he's known Bates for about 25 years and said that at one time, the two had traveled to the Bahamas together with other colleagues.
About damn time. The Senate confirms U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch.
We can finally have a replacement. Eric Holder will finally retire. Holder was a scourge of the Republicans and his departure will not be missed among them.
Republicans now will have a new scourge. The first Black woman to be appointed the U.S. Attorney General is confirmed finally after 5 months of waiting. With partisan trickery, Mitch The Majority Turtle (R-KY) finally got the ball rolling on this.
Over 166 days. A damn shame.
But in the minds of Republicans, it's payback.
Then majority leader Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV) pushed the nuclear option. It ended the filibuster rule when it came to nominees who were stalled by senators who refused to vote on confirmation.
He tried to do a gesture of goodwill by allowing the new Congress to take up the Lynch vote. He made a grave mistake.
What will the Majority Leader stall next?
The Turtle vowed to get back at the president and Reid by stalling legislation and nominees. He knows that in the few years left of President Barack Obama's term, more controversial bills, a federal judge appointment or Supreme Court justice could become an issue. He'll run the clock out at his own peril.
Lynch was a relatively safe choice. But to the racist right, she's a radical Black racist.
Lynch was confirmed by the Senate by a 56-43 vote, making her the first African-American woman to serve in this position.
Despite the partisan bitching from the agitators, Lynch did sail through the needed votes.
Nine Republicans and the Turtle finally got Lynch confirmed.
Sen. Kelly Ayotte (R-NH)
Sen. Rob Portman (R-OH)
Sen. Mark Kirk (R-IL)
Sen. Jeff Flake (R-AZ)
Sen. Thad Cochran (R-MS)
Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-UT)
Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME)
Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI)
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC)
Now who's up for reelection are Ayotte, Kirk, Johnson and Portman. They are going to be top priority for the Democrats. The Democrats have a chance in Illinois and Wisconsin. But the other two are going to be pretty damn difficult.
The whining began when Lynch agreed with the president over his executive order. The executive order was to grant illegal immigrants living in the country for five years to get a reprieve.
Those three nitwits (aka The Stallmigos) along with Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) voted against Lynch.
Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) either voted against or didn't show up for the vote. Worthless politicos.
Can't wait to see what happens if one of these nitwits become president. The Democrats are going to make them suffer.
