In what can only be compared to a scene from Fort Apache the Bronx – two weeks ago the police in Louisville, Kentucky shouted ‘you’re on your own’ and ran back to their offices.
200+ black youth and young black people thugs had taken to the streets to riot, steal, assault and attack the community around them.   The thugs mobbed stores, stole merchandise and then went on numerous riots.   (videos here)

Packs of thugs attacked cars and dragged people from their vehicles.   White men and white women around the city were brutalized.  Seventeen simultaneous events were happening around the city.   The police were overwhelmed.
However, what was more surprising than the police being literally overwhelmed, was their admission they could not stop the rampaging mobs.
The PC frozen police could not name the suspects, they could not describe the suspects, they could not even discuss the motives of the suspects who collectively realized they now had the upper hand – and took full measure of advantage with it.
To date they have only arrested two suspects and the Black Grievance Industry is furious the police would have the audacity to even go that far.

I really find this article in Philly.Com insulting.    It’s as if they don’t think we know this is the same city which began the popular “flash mob n robs” in 2010.   It’s as if they don’t think we know this is the city where Michael Nutter told the black population to pull up their pants and stop acting like thugs in 2011.   It’s as if they don’t think we know about the dozens of “knock out assaults” from 2011, 2012, 2013; and the more recent girls with the Brick to the Face attacks. 

Philadelphia is not the city of “Brotherly Love”, it’s the city of “Thuggerly Love”; and this article from Philly.Com is positioned as if it just happened recently.   Insulting. 

PHILADELPHIA – UNRULY students roaming the halls, fighting, smoking weed. Ordering takeout.
Frightened teachers covering their windows and locking their sometimes busted-up doors – while what? – whispering Hail Marys that the roaming band of delinquents won’t disrupt their classes.

And then just days before a lunchtime brawl at Bartram High School that left six students in police custody, a staffer assigned to keep the peace gets knocked unconscious by a student and suffers a fractured skull.
The March 21 incident grabbed headlines, but it was just the latest incident at a school long plagued by violence. (more…)

Answer for yourself what’s wrong with this story. 

Something about riots to gain $250 sneakers – contrast against the continual protestations of downtrodden and impoverished minority groups that need additional government assistance to survive – just seems to belay common sense.

(New York)  Police say a large crowd gathered outside a SoHo store for the release of a pricey new sneaker had to be dispersed when it spilled into the street.

Police say about 300 people lined up in front of the Supreme New York on Lafayette Street around 5 p.m. Wednesday. By 8 p.m., the crowd had nearly doubled. Police say they dispersed the crowd due to safety concerns. The store was closed at the time. (more…)

WASHINGTON DC – The House Oversight Committee could vote to hold former IRS official Lois Lerner in contempt of Congress as early as next week, a GOP lawmaker on the panel told POLITICO on Thursday.
The Oversight Republican said the vote against Lerner, who formerly ran the IRS exempt organization unit and acknowledged the agency gave extra scrutiny to tea party nonprofit groups, was uncertain of the exact date.
The panel is planning an “announcement on the contempt process for Lois Lerner sometime today,” said a committee aide. (more…)

The official narrative, of course, is that “violence”, and especially “gun violence” is the provence of  “Angry White Male Conservative Christians”.  This is a meme the Prog-enthralled media repeat over and over again. Wash, lather, rinse, repeat.
So, let’s do a little recap, shall we?
In March of 2008, conservative columnist and commenter Michelle Malkin did an admirable job highlighting the long history of “anti-War”, “anti-Military” acts of violence (in most examples, specifically targeting military recruiters working in the civilian community) intended to inflict terror which specifically had its genesis in the far Left.

WASHINGTON DC – US intelligence chiefs have confirmed that the National Security Agency has used a “back door” in surveillance law to perform warrantless searches on Americans’ communications.
The NSA’s collection programs are ostensibly targeted at foreigners, but in August the Guardian revealed a secret rule change allowing NSA analysts to search for Americans’ details within the databases.
Now, in a letter to Senator Ron Wyden, an Oregon Democrat on the intelligence committee, the director of national intelligence, James Clapper, has confirmed the use of this legal authority to search for data related to “US persons”.
“There have been queries, using US person identifiers, of communications lawfully acquired to obtain foreign intelligence targeting non-US persons reasonably believed to be located outside the United States,” Clapper wrote in the letter, which has been obtained by the Guardian. (more…)

When you combine the dots of testimony and information, and pull back from the pixels, a clear image begins to emerge.   The character visible in the image is actually the artist, Denis McDonough....   Here’s the High-Def Version:

WASHINGTON – The CIA’s former deputy director disclosed Wednesday that Obama administration officials were alerted the day before they went on national television that a key tenet of their original Benghazi storyline might be inaccurate. But he did not explain why the administration continued to cling to its narrative even after U.S. intelligence debunked reports that the deadly attack was born out of a protest over an anti-Islam video.
In often testy exchanges with Republicans who accused him of a cover-up, Michael Morell flatly denied that he “inappropriately altered and influenced” the infamous Benghazi talking points to downplay the role of terrorism in the attacks. (more…)

NORTH CAROLINA – House Speaker Thom Tillis (R-Mecklenburg) and Senate Leader Phil Berger (R-Rockingham) issued a joint statement Wednesday in response to more alarming evidence of voter error and fraud discovered by the North Carolina State Board of Elections.
Initial findings from the Board presented to the Joint Legislative Elections Oversight Committee today show:

• 765 voters with an exact match of first and last name, DOB and last four digits of SSN were registered in N.C. and another state and voted in N.C. and the other state in the 2012 general election.
• 35,750 voters with the same first and last name and DOB were registered in N.C. and another state and voted in both states in the 2012 general election.
• 155,692 voters with the same first and last name, DOB and last four digits of SSN were registered in N.C. and another state – and the latest date of registration or voter activity did not take place within N.C.

Again, as predicted.    Here’s the way the entire face saving fiasco is being spun by the Palestinians.  Fatah spokesman Ahmad Assaf told reporters the Palestinian Authority “blackmailed” Israel to bring about the release of dozens of prisoners.

Palestinian Media – The Palestinian Authority’s only reason for agreeing to and continuing the peace negotiations with Israel is to bring about the release of prisoners, Fatah’s spokesman Ahmad Assaf has indicated. Stating that the PA “blackmailed” Israel to release the prisoners, Assaf explained that by virtue of the PA’s membership in the UN, the PA is able to threaten Israel with taking it to the International Criminal Court. Assaf maintains that to prevent the PA from doing so, Israel agreed to release 104 prisoners, most of them serving life sentences for murder.

Senior PA leader Nabil Shaath explained already in November and again in December 2013, that the reason the PA has not “stopped negotiations,” is because the PA wants to first fulfill its goal of having all the prisoners Israel arrested before the Oslo Accords released. (more…)

Gee, ya think.  Figured that out all on your own did ya ?

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (CNN) — The investigation into Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 is now classified as a criminal investigation, The Wall Street Journal reported, citing the Malaysian police chief.

Inspector General of Police Khalid Abu Bakar said authorities have already recorded more than 170 statements and will interview more people for the Flight 370 probe, the Journal said.

But Bakar cautioned that what happened with Flight 370 might still be unknown after the investigation.

He added that the investigation into the flight simulator in the pilot’s house is still inconclusive. Authorities are awaiting an expert’s report on the simulator, he said. (more…)
