You won’t find the race of the shooters described if you look through the Associated Press report on the shooting either (link)
Another media report goes further with a description of events, even giving the name of a victim, but stops short when it comes to the shooters; leaving this dangling participle: (more…)

(Hat Tip Partyzantski) who shares: …”This video shows the mentality behind the mob feral behavior. The guy, acting out of good faith, goes to pull the warring factions apart. He ends up hospitalized. People were calling for him to be killed. This is barbarism.
[…]  Here is a safety tip for all: If you are in a place and all of a sudden the demographic changes, GTFO. Just drop your burger or whatever and LEAVE with all those you came with. Get out and get separation. Keep walking away. Get away. NEVER interpose yourself. As an outsider, it is an affront to the warring factions. Cops know domestic calls are potentially some of the most violent, these situations are dangerous for the same reasons”...
NEW YORK – BROOKLYN (PIX11) — Another disturbing teen melee broke out inside a Brooklyn McDonald’s Friday, and this time, the brawlers turned their violence on an innocent man trying to break the fracas up and on employees of the fast food joint.

Before the Baltimore riots hit the national news a less publicized beating of a Dundalk Maryland resident surfaced. We initially wrote about it HERE.

Richard Fletcher was brutally beaten by a group of Baltimore High School students after he asked them not to fight around his truck. Approximately 25 to 30 black “teens” brutally attacked Fletcher knocking him unconscious. They continued to kick him, stomp on his head and robbed him after he was unable to defend himself.
Many of the students filmed the beating and posted it on their social media, but the police told a nearby business owner NOT to share the CCTV footage because of concerns the public would be outraged by the video.
As the Baltimore Sun reported last night, five of the attackers were identified after an anonymous person slid video of the attack under a teachers door at the school. (more…)

At this point there’s enough circumstantial evidence and background on the shooter Matt Apperson to accept his weird behavioral instability as an attempt to gain fame/notoriety by killing George Zimmerman.  Surely if the physical evidence lines up with Zimmerman’s account the State Attorney will charge…
Do you think Matt Apperson will be charged? 
Lake Mary, FL – […] Don West, who helped defend Zimmerman in the Trayvon Martin murder trial in 2013 is now helping Zimmerman press charges against Matthew Apperson, who called 911 on Monday, claiming that he shot at Zimmerman’s SUV.

West said the shooting happened during lunch hour on a very busy Lake Mary Boulevard.
“In some respects it’s the classic depraved, hard, kind of reckless disregard for everyone’s life including Mr. Zimmerman’s,” West said.   (more…)

On Monday a man assaulted two people in New York with a hammer.
The first victim was a 28-year-old woman struck in the head while she was sitting on a park bench in Union Square.

Both victims were treated for their head injuries and released, according to the NYPD.  (media story)
Today, two NYPD officers were following a man who fit the description of the hammer attacker, when this happened: (more…)

If, like many of us, you are deep in the weeds in your understanding of the issues around Benghazi, the 2010 Arab Spring (Tunis, Egypt, Libya, Syria, Bahrain, Yemen), or the CIA operation “Zero Footprint” in Libya and the follow-up operation in Syria, you will enjoy this interview with former Panetta/Petraeus replacement Mike Morell.
Or, if you have a cursory understanding of events, this interview might spur you toward further research.  “The Benghazi Brief” – Regardless of your current level of understanding behind events of the past 7+ years, this interview is well constructed.
Bret Baier has done his homework, and in a refreshing and surprising manner you can see how Baier is able to cut through the distracting ‘talking points’ (no pun intended), and draw out the reality of what lies behind Morell and his foundational motives.
