Uber-Progressive Oregon.   A woman was held at gunpoint by two seven and eleven year old boys.   They held the woman at gunpoint and demanded her phone and cash.   She fled in her truck and the police were on scene quickly to arrest the two boys.  When found one of the boys had a loaded handgun fully cocked in his pocket.    However, by law the police had to let the boys go – they cannot arrest anyone under the age of twelve.

OREGON – A Portland woman says she was scared for her life when an 11-year-old boy and a 7-year-old boy pointed a gun at her and demanded her truck, her phone and her money.

It happened at about noon on Saturday in the parking lot of the Freedom Foursquare Church at 16000 SE Alder St.  Amy Garrett, 22, said she was sitting in her truck, waiting for her parents who were inside the church, when a 7-year-old boy and 11-year-old boy walked up to her.

Garrett said the boys demanded her truck and the 7-year-old told the older boy to “show her your piece.” She said the older boy lifted up his shirt and flashed a handgun. (more…)

•  Judge Nelson Denied defense motion for bond adjustment – However, she did tell GZ he is permitted to talk to witnesses in the case (just not the Martin family – duh).

•The state will turn over the original recording of an interview of a girl identified as Trayvon’s girlfriend. The girlfriend, identified as Witness 8, is a key state witness: She says she was on the phone with Trayvon moments before the shooting, and her account largely corroborates the state’s theory.

Now this story has a common, yet underreported twist.   It begins with three women, Shelly Frey, Tisa Andrews and Yolanda Craig,  together with at least two children (discount trainees) shoplifting at a local Wal Mart store. 

Now, this was not their first 10 finger discount rodeo.  Earlier this year,  Ms. Shelly Frey (pictured in purple – yet not at the Willy Wonka parade) plead guilty to stealing shirts and a package of meat from another Walmart and agreed to never enter any WalMart as part of her plea arrangement.

However, the lure of WalMart’s steep unadvertised discounts was too much for Ms. Frey to withstand, and with the allure of holiday shopping all around, she succumbed to the aforementioned free stuff process.  

So off to the WalMarts they head, big empty purses at the ready.   Only this time an off-duty police officer (Po-Po as in cop) named Mr. Campbell was working Part-Time as store security and he carried his service revolver.  It was clear to everyone that the deputy was law enforcement.

“He was clearly marked in uniform as a Harris County deputy. And identified himself as the suspects were leaving the establishment,” [Police Spokesperon – Gilliland].

When Shelly, Tisa, and Yolanda were spotted stuffing their purses Mr. Campbell was notified.  The three amigos bolted out of the store, one whacking Mr. Campbell with her purse as they, made their escape.  Campbell followed.  The three shoppers jumped in a car with at least two kids and attempted to make a getaway.  Somehow Mr. Campbell accidentally shot Ms. Shelly “Free Shirts and Meat” Frey, in the neck, during the escape.  She died at an apartment complex a little while later.

You might at this point be saying: “Hello !!…. Crump, Sharpton, Jackson must be en-route” in this story somewhere right?   Alas, you are mistaken.   Why? (more…)

But, but, but…….  they’re just boys.  Two 14-year-old black teens have been charged with murder in the killing of a white 22-year-old woman, Kayla Peterson.    The boys followed her boyfriend from a neighborhood store, and they asked for cigarettes.  Reportedly Ms. Peterson said “no”, and then told them to “get a job”, at which time they pulled out two handguns and shot her dead.

Four current motions appear in preparation for Tomorrow’s hearing in the George Zimmerman case.   Two responses from the State in response to defense filings, and two replies from the defense pertaining to those responses:

First the initial response from the State :  States Response to Defendant Motion For Third Party Disclosures/Evidence –  This in essence is the States reply to Zimmerman’s request for information about the Benjamin Crump interviews with DeeDee (Witness 8) and his possession of the recordings therein.

Bottom line – The State is “now” complying with previous request.

The reply from the defense team:  Mr. Zimmerman Reply to Compel therewit –  This in essence is the defense team saying nothing is actually complied with until they are in possession of the full un-edited version provided to the State along with the accompanying documented Chain of Custody.

Bottom Line – Not only does the defense want the information, but the documentation to review the timeline and handling of the original request. (more…)

Additionally I just want to clear up one term I keep reading. (more…)

….”robberies and a rowdy brawl went down“, that’s what the reporter said.   Another said “this video is alarming“….  “the 44th street crew, gangs up on two female passengers to steal their iphones“…  The thugs took trophy video of the assault/robbery and posted it for bragging rights and “street cred” on their FaceBook page.

Watch how the media make particular attention to avoid the obvious.   The attackers were all black, and the two women attacked were white…..  Hmmm?  Patterns, patterns, patterns. (more…)

The following is the [Translated] transcript of the interview made by journalist Jorge Ramos to Gladys and Robert Zimmerman in the program to the point of the Univision Network, on Sunday 9 December 2012.  (*Note Gladys speaks fluent Spanish as her first language)

The transcript is a little fragmented in translation but you can get the gist.  HatTip Ottawa925

The interview

Jorge Ramos: in his first interview for a half in Spanish, accompany us here, in the Studio, Robert Zimmerman, brother of George Zimmerman. Thanks for being with us.

Robert Zimmerman: Many, Jorge, thank you.

Jorge Ramos: and via satellite, his mother, Gladys Zimmerman, who for security reasons does not want to show his face. Mrs. Zimmerman, thanks for being with us.

Gladys Zimmerman: Anything, good morning George.

Jorge Ramos: Let me start. You certainly Peruvian and speaks the Spanish perfectly, and this is going to be much easier this interview with you. The first question is, where George is at the moment. (more…)

In one breath,  “In Session” TV’s Jean Casarez defines the people’s viewpoint of George Zimmerman as,  “…the most hated man in America.”  Then she goes on to say, in an almost incredulous voice, “There are supporters of George Zimmerman.”  In the video below, she probes into the sources behind Zimmerman’s defense fund.
