The feds are watching Ali Alexander, the founding member of the Stop The Steal Rally which led to the mob of Washed Up 45 supporters rioting at the U.S. Capitol. Alexander is caught up in a sex scandal.
It also intensifies a feud with the insufferable lawmaker from Georgia. Laura Loomer, Nick Fuentes and Alexander are threatening to expose Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA).
Greene has called for a federal investigation into Alexander and Fuentes.
Well it is the allegations of grooming from members of the far right.
Alexander is accused of enticing boys to send him pictures of them doing sexual acts.
Alexander issued a non apology claiming that it was never intentional. He said he has fought his "same sex attractions" and referred the actions to being careless.
“While my audience is familiar with me battling [same-sex attraction], others aren’t as familiar. I apologize for any inappropriate messages sent over the years,” Alexander wrote. “Forgive me. While having repented before God and confess at Church, I want my supporters and those involved to hear my apology today. When I’ve flirted or others have flirted with me, I’ve flexed my credentials or dropped corny pick up lines. Other times, I’ve been careless and should’ve qualified those coming up to me’s [sic] identities during flirtatious banter at the start.”
He continued, “Nothing unlawful has occurred. Seeing false claims alongside real messages is a deceptive technique. Some have retracted and other individuals say were deceptively edited which is why I waited. All of this is designed by a Literal Predator [editor’s note: Alexander’s capitalization] to take advantage of admitted sins and hurt my allies.”
Milo Yiannopoulos returns. He goes after Ali Alexander and Laura Loomer, two former allies to his extremist movement.
It also marks a feud between Alexander and Milo Yiannopoulos, a British far right extremist who allied with Alexander during the early years of Washed Up 45's 2016 campaign. Yiannopoulos was forced out of Ye's 2024 presidential campaign. He along with Laura Loomer have vowed to expose the alt-right influencers and those who follow them.
The Daily Beast has gotten screenshots and text messages from a far right figure who got involved in politics at an early age. He befriended Alexander. The far right extremist promised he would get connected with prominent extremists like Yiannopoulos, Laura Loomer, Jacob Wohl, Cassandra Fairbanks-MacDonald and Nick Fuentes.
The extremist was 15 at the time and was basking in the glow of "famous" celebrities.
When he turned 17, that's when Alexander turned to his lust for young bodies.
He started promising alcohol, money and get togethers at America First events. He would ask the far right extremists to make his rocket shoot off.
The non apology doesn't refer to any specific claims outlined in the Daily Beast's reporting.
This is disgusting textbook predation of underage boys. And Nick Fuentes was in on it. #NickKnew
“In exchange for recanting his accusation, [Nick] Fuentes and [Ali] Alexander offered to get him a job in politics.”@FBI should investigate. https://t.co/prvdViu2iZ
This is Marjorie Taylor Greene and her bestie Ali Alexander. These two right wing MAGA loons want to tell you how to live your life. MTG is getting divorced for multiple accusations of infidelity.

Greene posted on Twitter to condemn Alexander, also claiming that Fuentes was "in on it", and calling for an FBI investigation. Alexander subsequently laid blame for the accusations on Representative Greene, claiming she had paid Yiannopoulos to make allegations against him in an attempt to intimidate him out of reporting evidence she had committed a crime.
A lot of dollars being paid out. Fox agreed to pay Dominion for years of lies.
Some on air personalities will be getting a paycut.
Dominion Voting Systems agreed to a settlement with far right cable outlet, Fox News. It settles a dispute between the network's constantly promoting conspiracy theories and misinformation. The Fox Corp. agreed to pay $787.5 million to the company in its defamation lawsuit. The company will not have any of its controversial personalities take the stand.
I think that Suzzane Scott, Maria Bartiromo, Sean "Softball" Hannity, Jeanine Pirro and Tucker Carlson will probably take a hit in their paycheck.
As the jury was being selected, Fox had made a final offer which Dominion took.
It ends a two year legal drama which led to Dominion losing contracts, facing death threats and continuing to fend off allegations of "stealing" from Washed up 45.
Rupert Murdoch, his son Lachlan and numerous personalities were expect to testify under oath in a six week trial that clearly didn't look good for Fox.
“Fox has admitted to telling lies,” John Poulos, Dominion’s CEO, said at a news conference after the trial ended.
Justin Nelson, lead attorney for Dominion, told NBC News he hopes the settlement will restore faith in elections.
This alone can’t do it, right? But this shows that there is accountability, that we showed that if you are caught lying, you will be held responsible,” he said.
Absent from the settlement details shared with the public was an apology or any admission that the network had indeed defamed Dominion when it allowed baseless conspiracies to proliferate on air about the company's voting machines "rigging" 2020 presidential election against Washed Up 45. A statement from Fox about the agreement recognized the court's previous ruling that the claims Dominion had challenged in its defamation lawsuit were indeed without merit.
"We acknowledge the Court’s rulings finding certain claims about Dominion to be false," the Fox statement said. “This settlement reflects Fox’s continued commitment to the highest journalistic standards. We are hopeful that our decision to resolve this dispute with Dominion amicably, instead of the acrimony of a divisive trial, allows the country to move forward from these issues.”
When pressed, a spokesperson for Dominion said “an apology is about accountability, and today Dominion held Fox accountable.”
Should Fox cut Softball Hannity?
Stephen Shackelford Jr., the attorney who had been expected to give opening statements for Dominion on Tuesday, said “money is accountability."
Rumors of settlement talks had been buzzing for days, particularly after the court said late Sunday it would delay the conclusion of jury selection and opening arguments to Tuesday morning.
"The parties have resolved their case," Delaware Superior Court Judge Eric Davis said Tuesday afternoon, informing the jurors of the settlement. "That means your service is done and I’m going to excuse you. Sorry about making you wait."
Dominion sued Fox in 2021, demanding $1.6 billion in damages. It said the network defamed it when it broadcast baseless claims that it was tied to the late Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez, that it paid kickbacks to politicians and that its machines “rigged” the 2020 presidential election by flipping millions of votes for Washed Up 45 to Joe Biden.
The settlement came after a bruising week for Fox. During pretrial conference hearings, Davis sanctioned the network for withholding evidence, and admonished it for not being straightforward with him. He said he would allow Dominion to conduct an additional deposition with Fox Corp. Chairman Rupert Murdoch at Fox’s expense. Davis also ruled that Fox lawyers could not use newsworthiness as a legal defense, limiting their possible trial strategies.
On Tuesday, Davis also appointed a special master to investigate whether Fox had adequately complied with court-ordered discovery. That probe was ended by the settlement, too.
Few defamation suits make it this far, but outside legal experts say the case — and the extraordinary claims and evidence fueling it — was unique.
The settlement is a strong outcome for Dominion, those experts said, which won't have to wait years for a potential jury-awarded payout stuck in the appeals process.
Not all settlement terms are disclosed, but experts say they believe Fox's payout to be among the biggest.
"This number is not small," said RonNell Andersen Jones, a professor at the University of Utah College of Law who specializes in the First Amendment. “It might be the biggest of its kind in history."
Juries are always a risk, especially in a politically divisive case, she added.
"While going to a jury based on 'presumed damages' and malice often results in tremendous damages, it’s still a crapshoot," Anthony Michael Glassman, a longtime media lawyer who has represented both news outlets and the subjects of stories, said in an email.
A hefty settlement without a trial "is the right way to go," he added.
Ohio says 40 shots were justified in killing Jayland Walker.
The grand jury said that eight Akron Police officers used justified force in the fatal shooting of Jayland Walker. The Ohio Attorney General, Dave Yost made a press conference on Monday confirming that despite the 40 shots Walker took after fleeing a traffic stop, the grand jury believed that Walker shot from his vehicle at cops which justified their actions. At the time of the shooting, Walker had no weapon on him.
They said a firearm was retrieved.
Walker was shot 46 times in a hail of gunfire that lasted just under seven seconds and roiled yet another city amid heightened tensions with police over the killing of a Black man that started with a routine traffic stop.
Akron’s mayor and police chief urged residents Monday to protest peacefully, acknowledging that many are angry with the shooting last June that Walker’s family has called brutal and senseless.
“Turn toward one other and not on each other,” said Mayor Daniel Horrigan.
The state’s investigation found that Walker jumped out of his still-moving car, ran from police and ignored commands to stop and show his hands. Some of the officers first used Tasers to try and stop Walker, Yost said.
But Walker reached toward his waistband and raised a hand as officers were chasing, Yost said. The officers, not knowing Walker left his gun in the car, believed he was going to fire again, Yost said. He said it is critical to remember that Walker had “shot first.”
Responding with tears and frustration at a subsequent press conference, the Walker family and their supporters mourned the grand jury’s decision and called on Akron residents to protest loudly for justice and change. Democratic U.S. Rep. Emilia Sykes, of Akron, said she will ask the U.S. Justice Department to investigate “the patterns and practices of the Akron Police Department.”
“I still can’t comprehend how a young man has 46 bullet holes from officers and that is justified,” Sykes said while also urging people to honor Walker’s memory by protesting peacefully. “I ask you to remember the words of Jayland’s family by speaking up. But do so without violence.”
The family and the NAACP previously have called on the Justice Department to open a federal civil rights investigation.
Jaymeisha Beasley, the fiance of Jayland Walker was killed in Cincinnati after a hit and run incident.
Bobby DiCello, an attorney for Walker’s family, criticized the state’s investigation, saying police gunned down Walker execution-style. Paige White, another attorney for the family, said the investigation was skewed in favor of the police and that “Jayland didn’t have a chance.”
“Akron Police Department, when you call for peace, when you call for no destruction, when you call for respect — where was your respect for Jayland?” White said.
The state investigation said police first saw Walker driving with a broken taillight and a broken light on his rear license plate, but they decided not to follow him. They saw him 10 minutes later at the same intersection and became suspicious, Yost said.
Police said Walker refused to stop and then fired a shot from his car 40 seconds into the pursuit.
Officers chased the car on a freeway and city streets until Walker bailed from the still-moving vehicle and ran into a parking lot where he was killed while wearing a ski mask, body cam video showed. Authorities said he represented a “deadly threat.” A handgun, a loaded magazine and a wedding ring were found on the driver’s seat of his car.
Police union officials said the officers thought there was an immediate threat of serious harm and that their actions were in line with their training and protocols.
Dash-cam video from a police cruiser captured images of Walker firing the gun from his car, said Anthony Pierson, an assistant state attorney general. Walker had no criminal history and had never fired a gun until he went to a shooting range with a friend in early June, Pierson said.
At the time of the shooting, Walker was grieving his fiancée’s recent death, and his family and Pierson said his actions that night were out of character.
“That night he encountered the police he wasn’t acting himself,” Pierson said. “By all accounts he was a good person, a good man.”
Authorities checked Walker’s online history and found in the weeks before his death searches for phrases including “drinking bleach” and “quickest ways to die,” according to an investigative report released Monday.
The report also contained information from a Euclid, Ohio, police captain who told investigators that Walker’s best friend interviewed for a police job in that city days after Walker’s death and suggested it had been “suicide by cop.”
Protests will continue.
But when interviewed by investigators, the friend strongly disputed that, telling detectives that Walker was distraught but never mentioned suicide.
Pierson was asked at the news conference if Walker’s death could have been suicide. He declined to speculate about Walker’s state of mind but said there was no direct evidence he was suicidal.
Akron Police Chief Steve Mylett said Monday that the city will begin an internal investigation into the shooting, but he would not release the names of the eight officers because of ongoing threats against them.
The officers, who initially were placed on leave, will remain on administrative duties. None of the eight officers appear to have been disciplined for any previous use of force incidences, according to investigation records released by the state.
While the grand jury’s decision shows no crime was committed by the officers, “in no way does that take away from the tragedy of June 27,” Mylett said.
Attorneys for the eight officers released a statement calling the incident a tragedy for the entire community, including Walker’s family and all of the officers who were involved. “A split-second decision to use lethal force is one that every police officer hopes he or she will never be forced to make,” the statement said.
A county medical officer said the autopsy found no illegal drugs or alcohol were detected in Walker’s body.
After taking over the investigation last summer at the request of Akron police, prosecutors with the Ohio attorney general’s office presented the case to the grand jury.
City set up a designated protest zone downtown outside city hall, where plywood covered the first-floor windows. Temporary fencing circled the county courthouse and many businesses boarded up their windows.
But hours after the grand jury’s decision, the protest zone was almost entirely empty on a cold, windy night mixed with snow flurries and rain.
The city’s school district canceled classes on Tuesday in the wake of the grand jury announcement.
Less than 24 hours before the chase, police in neighboring New Franklin Township had tried to stop a car matching Walker’s, also for unspecified minor equipment violations. A supervisor there called off the pursuit when the car crossed the township’s border with Akron.
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.
Dave Yost declined to charge eight Akron cops for excessive force. Maybe he will do a Mike DeWine and run for governor.
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.
Remember #3 means: 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 one Democrat and one independent who caucuses with the 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.

President Joe Biden has contacted Yarl's family and called once again for gun reform laws.
The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
Ralph Yarl, a 16-year-old African American teenager, was shot and wounded after ringing the doorbell to the wrong house in Kansas City, Missouri on April 13, 2023. Yarl was attempting to pick up his twin siblings and ended up at the wrong address, according to family members.

Andrew Daniel Lester, an 84-year-old white man, was charged in connection with the shooting on April 17. He is charged with armed criminal action and first-degree assault, which is the equivalent of attempted murder in Missouri. The Clay County district attorney stated that there was a "racial component" to the shooting. If convicted, Lester faces between 10 years to life in prison.
Man shoots teen after ringing doorbell.
In the evening hours of April 13, Yarl had been sent to pick up his siblings from an address in the 1100 block of NE 115th Terrace. He mistakenly went to a home less than a block away on NE 115th Street and rang the doorbell. Investigators allege that Lester shot Yarl twice through the house's front glass door. The Kansas City Police Department responded to reports of a shooting near the home a little before 10 p.m. Neighbors had found Yarl lying injured in the street and called police, who found Yarl with at least two gunshot wounds to the head and arm.
In the early morning hours of April 14, Lester was taken into custody. No initial charges were filed against Lester, and he was released after being held in custody for a short time, listed as “out of custody” and “general release” status on the same day.
The Clay County, Missouri prosecutors office stated on April 17 that they had not received a criminal referral from the Kansas City Police Department in regards to the shooting. Later that day, Lester was charged with first-degree assault and armed criminal action. In Missouri, first-degree assault is the state's equivalent for attempted murder.

GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE PROBLEM IN THE UNITED STATES.
Fox is making a last minute settlement to Dominion before trial.
It appears that Fox is desperate to settle with Dominion Voting Systems. The company sued the far right network for $1.6 billion for defamation.
The trial was expected to start on Monday but was pushed back until Tuesday.
It has some concern that Dominion will settle with Fox. If they settle, then Fox will continue to push radical claims without accountability.
Fox had to apologize to Delaware Supreme Court Judge Eric M. Davis after the network withheld evidence and also sparked a whisper campaign which led to death threats against him and Dominion.
The Wall Street Journal reported Sunday that Fox, which has made attempts at a settlement before, was making a final push to avoid a weeks-long trial that could see its top hosts and leaders, including 92-year-old Rupert Murdoch, take the witness stand.
News that the trial was pushed back sparked speculation on Twitter that last-minute settlement talks are underway. Legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin noted: “These kind of delays often happen when civil cases are about to settle.”
Dominion focused on allegations made between November 2020 and January 2021 by hosts Maria Bartiromo, Tucker Carlson, Lou Dobbs, Sean "Softball" Hannity, and Jeanine Pirro. Guests who often appeared with these hosts included Washed Up 45 attorneys Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell, both of whom have also been sued individufally by Dominion in federal court.
Davis ruled in a March 2023 summary judgment that none of the statements Fox made about Dominion were true and ordered the case to trial to determine if the network had acted with actual malice. Jury selection for the trial began on April 13, 2023, with several prominent Fox personalities and senior executives expected to testify at trial beginning April 17.
Cashier shot an alleged shoplifting who was pregnant.
Nashville, Tennessee.
Okay, I get it. Shoplifting is frustrating. People who steal from stores often do it to survive.
Stores shutter out of predominantly Black and Hispanic communities because of theft.
Food deserts exist due to big box retailers leaving the city.
Yeah, they're criminal organizations that do high end shoplifting. Many of these incidents often have repeat offenders. Some are either poor, homeless, addicted to drugs and just in it for thrills. But it should not result in death.
A man working for Walgreens shot at a woman who was seven months pregnant after he accused her of shoplifting. He confronted the woman and her friend. An altercation led to him getting maced. Instead of getting license plates and calling the police, he pulled out his firearm and shot at the woman's vehicle numerous times. The woman was hit and the medics had to perform an emergency C-section. The woman and her child are in critical condition.
Nashville Metro Police are investigating. The cashier is claiming self defense. But for property theft that is not a home, it will not be considered self defense.
The preliminary investigation of the shooting shows that 21-year-old Mitarius Boyd, the Walgreens team leader at that store, was informed by coworker that two females were stealing items from the store. Boyd told police he saw the women putting items into a shopping cart and personal bag before exiting the store without paying.
Boyd also told officers that he was recording the women with his cell phone as he followed them out of the store and to the vehicle they were unloading the items into. The report from Metro police says Boyd went to the back of the vehicle where the women were when one of them began spraying mace at him.
Boyd says he pulled out a semi-automatic pistol as he was being maced and began firing shots, claiming he was in fear because he didn't know if they were armed.
The women took off in the car, and Boyd called 911 from inside the Walgreens store.
Travonsha Ferguson, 34, was shot during the altercation and taken to General Hospital by the other woman, who drove away after dropping her off and remains unidentified by police.
Boyd cooperated with detectives during the investigation. Investigators seized his gun used in the shooting and have taken possession of his cell phone.
Detectives will share the results of their investigation with the District Attorney's office to determine if Boyd will face charges.
Walgreens provided the following statement Thursday in regards to the shooting: "The safety of our patients, customers and team members is our top priority, and violence of any kind will not be tolerated at our stores. We take this matter seriously and are cooperating with local authorities."
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.

GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE PROBLEM IN THE UNITED STATES.
A young girl's party ruined. She loses her brother and five friends to senseless gun violence. The latest mass shooting in Dadeville, Alabama.
Another deadly mass shooting. This is the 193th mass shooting.
Graphic image in posting. Take discretion.
New Colin Flaherty-like creatures emerges. Just when you thought the noise of racial arsonists would disappear, more white extremists devoting their lives to concern trolling Black on Black violence. This bot account is literally showing images of dead Black teens.
So obviously, the far right will obsess with Black on whatever violence. Not gun violence, America's biggest crisis.
In the city of Dadeville, Alabama, a mass shooting at a sweet sixteen birthday party. Four people are dead and another community is rocked by the number one threat in the United States.
Gov. Kay Ivey, President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL), Sen. Katie Britt (R-AL) and the U.S. Representatives from Alabama were notified of this mass shooting. They will do the usual "thoughts and prayers" and "our hearts goes out to" as well as the Republicans saying that "now it's not the time to talk" bullshit.
These people don't have mental illness. They are calculated and prepared. It happened to be a moment where they have the opportunity to take out lives. There's no sickness in the head. Most mass shooters legally obtain their assault rifles without little background checks. They have likely no criminal history and they are willing to use the assault weapon in the only thing it's good for: Killing numerous lives.
Again, having more security, teachers being armed and offering safe rooms are not solving the problem.
THE NICE GUY IS THE MOST DANGEROUS PERSON WITH A FIREARM. THOSE WHO ARE SPURN BY RELATIONSHIPS, THE WORKPLACE, SOCIETY IN GENERAL WILL SEEK REVENGE BY TAKING OUT LIVES.

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.
According to the far right: White shooters are mentally ill. Black shooters are unrepentant criminals. Gay shooters are active groomers. Muslim shooters are terrorists. Hispanics and Asians shooters are illegal immigrants. Almost all mass shooters are registered Democrats because they have liked one thing common to the left. Of course, they often share disinformation by using the "Sam Hyde" meme as a way to denounce most mass shooters being white. They say a white person should "protect" from protesters and use of firearms are justified. They say if a shooter is active military or a veteran who supports conservative causes, they are considered a "heroes" and use of firearms are justified.
The Republicans usually amplify white victims. Anytime a person of color kills a white victim, it is often wall-to-wall coverage on Fox and they force it into national news. White shooters are given glowing profiles about their perfect lives and how friends noticed something but refused to do something. When it comes to Black shooters, automatic vilification. They don't see mental illness. They see it as gang violence, allegedly fatherless homes, Democratic policies or the need for more firearms. The far right and Republicans exploit gun violence in the Black community for culture wars and racism.
Republicans solutions are more guns, blame others for America's social ills and defect from accepting reality.
On April 15, a mass shooting occurred in Dadeville. More than 20 people were shot, and four people died. The shooting took place at a 16th birthday celebration, and most of the victims were teenagers. The shooting took place at the old Dadeville bank, at 220 N. Broadnax St, which had been converted into the Mahogany Masterpiece Dance Studio in 2021.
Blacks host a “sweet 16” birthday party that turns into a mass shooting in Dadeville AL. 20-30 teenagers shot and 6 killed in yet another mass-shooting. I suspect (((they))) won’t be covering this breaking news story very long, how come? pic.twitter.com/ksQn9hIPIp
"The investigation is a result of a shooting which occurred at approximately 10:34 p.m. near the 200 Block of Broadnax Street in Dadeville, located in Tallapoosa County. Currently, there have been four confirmed fatalities and multiple injuries," ALEA said.
"The following agencies responded to the scene and are currently assisting with the investigation: The Dadeville Police Department, Tallapoosa County Sheriff’s Office, Bureau of Alcohol, the Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) and the 5 Circuit District Attorney’s Office. Nothing further is available as the investigation is ongoing."
Local officials gave few details about the incident at their initial press conference besides confirming the shooting unfolded at a birthday party.
The White House told Fox News that Biden has been briefed on the shooting in Dadeville.
"The White House is closely monitoring and has been in touch with local officials and law enforcement to offer support," the statement added.
"This morning, I grieve with the people of Dadeville and my fellow Alabamians. Violent crime has NO place in our state, and we are staying closely updated by law enforcement as details emerge," Ivey tweeted Sunday morning.
Officials have not revealed the exact number of surviving victims, but a photo taken by a witness showed the bodies of at least six teenagers on the ground, according to BNO News.
According to the outlet, a witness at the scene said the total number of victims was higher than six, including multiple people who died at the scene. The witness observed white sheets covering the bodies.
Someone shared death.
A photo posted to Twitter shows multiple families gathered outside a local hospital following the incident.
Susan Foy, the Chief Marketing Director of Russell Medical Center in Alexander City, located about 18 miles from Dadeville, called the incident a "horrific tragedy."
She confirmed to Fox News the hospital treated multiple victims and released them. Several victims with gunshot wounds have had to be transferred to other hospitals to better tend to their specific wounds/injuries. Of the victims treated at the medical center, she had no word on any fatalities. Foy would not get into ages of victims or a specific number. The hospital is a small, rural facility with just 81 beds. It’s not rare to transfer patients to other facilities that have access to more specialists.
Fox News Digital also has reached out to the Dadeville Police Department and the Tallapoosa County Sheriff's Office for comment.
Officials have not said if any arrests have been made in connection with the shooting.
You're not safe in the school, the concert, the bank, the hospital, the church, the casino, the bus station, the subway, the light rail train, the buses, the malls, the local big box store, the political rally, the protest rally, the women's center for reproductive surgeries, the mosque, the synagogue, the state buildings, the workplace, the gas station, the family picnic, the food truck rally, the funerals, the birthday parties, the graduations, the wedding, the televised events, the sporting events and many more events that have some terrorist with a firearm. Domestic violence, suicide, racism, culture war inspired, politically motivated and international operatives inspired are types of gun violence.
With Republicans in charge of the House of Representatives, the only thing they'll offer to every mass shooting is "thoughts and prayers", "our hearts going out to", "the good guy with a gun", and their most common phrase "now it's not the time to politicize these tragedies."
Use the hashtag #ignorethenoise whenever you deal with folks who embrace this.
The ban of semiautomatic rifles and bump stock assortments has always been a a problem.
Republicans refuse to support the ban of these type of weapons.
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.
Remember #3 means: The "good guy with a gun" better be prepared to die if they want to stop a shooter.
Young teen loses brother to gun violence.
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 one Democrat and one independent who caucuses with the 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.
Aftermath. A series of mass shootings in Louisville. The shootings happened only a week after the Old National Bank mass shooting.
Two more mass shootings. This is the 192th mass shooting.
New Colin Flaherty-like creatures emerges. Just when you thought the noise of racial arsonists would disappear, more white extremists devoting their lives to concern trolling Black on Black violence. This bot account is literally showing images of dead Black teens.
So obviously, the far right will obsess with Black on whatever violence. Not gun violence, America's biggest crisis.
Gov. Andy Beshear, President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) and the Kentucky U.S. Representatives were notified again. Another deadly mass shooting in Louisville, days after a white extremist murdered five bank employees.
These people don't have mental illness. They are calculated and prepared. It happened to be a moment where they have the opportunity to take out lives. There's no sickness in the head. Most mass shooters legally obtain their assault rifles without little background checks. They have likely no criminal history and they are willing to use the assault weapon in the only thing it's good for: Killing numerous lives.
Again, having more security, teachers being armed and offering safe rooms are not solving the problem.

Police are investigating after 2 people were killed and 4 others injured after shots were fired into a crowd of people in Chickasaw Park on Saturday night.
Calls came in around 9 p.m. on reports of a shooting at the park, according to Louisville Metro Police spokeswoman Alicia Smiley.
Officers responded and found two people shot and killed at the scene and four others who had been injured in the shooting.
The four injured victims were taken to University Hospital. One victim is in critical condition, while the other three victims’ conditions are currently unknown.
No other details on the victims were available.
“This is frustrating,” LMPD Deputy Chief Paul Humphrey said. “This is very frustrating. I know Monday was a very high profile event, but for LMPD, for EMS, for (Louisville) Fire, University Hospital… for this community, this is every night.”
Police said there were reports that hundreds of people were inside the park at the time of the shooting.
LMPD’s Homicide Unit is handling the ongoing investigation. There are no suspects.
Two people are dead and one has been hospitalized after a shooting in the Old Louisville neighborhood Saturday morning, according to the Louisville Metro Police Department.
LMPD responded to a report of a shooting in the 200 block of East Burnett Avenue just before 4:30 a.m., LMPD spokesperson Alicia Smiley said.
Multiple people shot at Chicksaw Park and the Old Louisville neighborhood.
Officers learned that three people had been shot. One was a man who was pronounced dead at the scene, Smiley said. The other two, a man and a woman, were transported to UofL Hospital.
The man was pronounced dead after arriving at the hospital while the woman remains in surgery. Her condition has not been released at this time, Smiley said.
The Jefferson County Coroner’s Office identified one of the victims as 28-year-old Jamal Malone.
LMPD’s Homicide Unit is handling the ongoing investigation. Officials said the relationship, if any, between the three who were shot is unknown at this time.
These shootings came at the heels of Monday’s mass shooting at Old National Bank in downtown Louisville, where five people were killed and eight people injured, including three LMPD officers.
As of Saturday evening, six patients have been discharged from the hospital, according to UofL Health.
Officer Nickolas Wilt remains in critical condition after being shot in the head responding to Monday’s shooting. One other patient remains in stable and fair condition.
Anyone with any information is asked to call LMPD’s anonymous tip line at (502) 574-LMPD (5673) or use the online crime tip portal.

Another shooting in Louisville.
Did you know that Washed Up 45, Mike Pence, Asa Hutchinson, Nikki Haley, Tim Scott, Kristi Noem, Chris Sununu, Vivek Ramaswamy and Ron DeSantis attended the NRA Convention in Indianapolis?
Anyway, the NRA continues to push asinine arguments against gun control. Republicans seeking endorsement and campaign funds for potential 2024 presidential ambitions flock to this event.
