DETROIT — The city of Detroit officially became the largest municipality in U.S. history Tuesday to enter Chapter 9 bankruptcy after a judge declared it met the specific legal criteria required to receive protection from its creditors.

The landmark ruling ends more than four months of uncertainty over the fate of the case and sets the stage for a fierce clash over how to slash an estimated $18 billion in debt and long-term liabilities that have hampered Detroit from attacking pervasive blight and violent crime. (more…)

Like many people Dorothy Hendrix refused to be run out of her home or neighborhood.  Despite a previous armed home invasion / robbery.   A second time victimized, this time the thugs killed her – but not before she was able to shoot one in the stomach.  She shot one thug but was shot twice and killed by another.
SOUTH CAROLINA – A 76-year-old woman was killed in a shootout with attempted robbers outside her South Carolina home early on Saturday morning.
“She fought. She was a fighter. She shot him,” the victim’s brother, Ronnie Lollis, told local news.
Dorothy Hendrix returned home at about 1am when two armed men and one woman approached her attempting to rob her, coroner Greg Shore said.
Hendrix pulled out a gun and fired at the suspects, and one of them returned fire, hitting her twice. One neighbor reported the gunshots to police. (more…)

Two key points.   #1.   ABC weekly panel discussions are the official Propaganda proving ground of the administration.   Sponsored, created and hosted by Democrat Spinmaster and former communications director, George Stephanopolous, you will find the impetus of the State Media talking points refined.    ABC is to weekly Democrat propaganda what CNN is to daily news Propaganda.    CNN does the daily gig, ABC does the recaps.
#2.    The absolute fawn star of the Obama campaign(s) is David Plouffe.   He’s the guy who molds the optics.   ValJar is the “ear”, McDonough is the “fixer” the muscle to keep everyone in line, and Plouffe is the guy who packages the scheme to make it saleable to the sheeple.    If you want to know what Obama is going to do and say just listen to Plouffe talk about the future.    This is a great video in that regard – Think: ‘State of The Union Speech’.

(New York)  A nicotine fiend knocked out a total stranger on a Brooklyn street because he was angry that nobody would give him a cigarette — and then he did a victory dance because he “felt exhilarated,” police sources told The Post.
Michael Grant, 27, was trying to score the smoke on New Lots Avenue and Ashford Street at around 12:30 p.m. Tuesday, but lost his cool when he was turned down numerous times, he told cops.
He walked up to Pam Thompson, 41, as she was coming out of AA Nail Salon and clocked her square in the face, cops said. Her head slammed into the window, knocking her out cold.
The brute celebrated his sucker punch with a dance next to the injured woman’s body. He later told police, “I just felt exhilarated.” (more…)

Why would people put themselves through this experience?

Mediaite and Daily Mail have numerous reports and examples:

•In Virginia customers stabbed their way to parking spots.
•In Philadelphia a woman used a stun gun to secure her rights to a TV.
•In Chicago the police ended up shooting a customer as he scuffled with Police.
•In Las Vegas a flat screen customer was shot in the leg for his purchase.
•In Puerto Rico The stampede was uncontrollable by police.

This is the second random attack faced by the guy who shot the thugs.  The first time he was bashed in the head with a baseball bat – he lost 1/2 his ear.   This time he shares:

“I didn’t want to shoot nobody, but i didn’t want to get shot.  Just like something sprang and I was right back in Vietnam again- kill or be killed,”

No Ohio media reports are discussing the race of the victims or the four perpetrators of the attack.   Neither are they posting the mug shots of the suspects.  Ohio, like Saint Louis is famous for political correctness and for hiding attacks by black suspects because it makes them uncomfortable to report on it.   YOU DECIDE:
COLUMBUS, Ohio – A robbery suspect has died from a gunshot wound he suffered at the hands of one of his alleged victims.

Columbus Police say 23-year-old Jonathan Milton, two other men and a teenage girl tried to rob two people at a west side apartment on Cascade Court Wednesday.
10TV spoke with the robbery victims.  55-year-old Elec Reed says he ran outside for help when the suspects came in.
67-year-old Edward Finnell says that is when one of the robbers pulled a gun on him, and he reacted. (more…)

In a subtle speech outlining Israel’s position on the EU/Obama acquiescence to Iran Netanyahu vows to keep the light.

It’s not coincidental Netanyahu chose this specific passage from a Jewish children’s song given the former U.S. position (Reagan Doctrine) of light retention amid the dark forces of global evil.    In essence Israel is saying they will not fall victim to the political correctness inherent in failing to talk about true motives and objectives of Iran, while simultaneously saying someone must stand up to say there are natural laws of right and wrong.
It is the elimination of true principles behind what is good, right and just, while obfuscating and falling victim to political correctness which allows evil to thrive.    As we have often said – failing to accept the existence of evil enterprise does not protect you from it.  Regardless how that enterprise manifests.
The United States used to hold such bold recognitions.  However, under the leftward and self-serving immoral slide, the lines between right and wrong, good and bad, freedom and serfdom, have been blurred.

ISRAEL – Melding the Hanukkah holiday and foreign affairs, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu solemnly vowed to serve as a “light unto the nations” and act against Iran’s nuclear program should diplomacy fail Thursday night. (more…)

Remember last week when Black Community leaders in Brooklyn New York said they wouldn’t stop beating Jews and Non-Blacks unless they were paid?   Believe it or not, I think this story out of Alabama actually has that insufferable logic topped.
During a store robbery a thug held a group of customers at gunpoint.   The thug held the gun to the head of one of the customers and threatened to shoot.   Another customer in the store was armed, took position and told the gunman to “drop his weapon”.  
The thug turned to shoot the armed shopper.  The customer shot the thug.  Now the thug’s family says the shopper should have just kept on going and minded his own business – they are quite upset.    They say of the good Samaritan: “what gives him the right to shoot someone”?  (watch video)
MOBILE, Ala. (WALA) – The family of a suspected thief is lashing out after their son was shot during an armed robbery.

Ironically the Sheriff of Lee County Florida, Mike Scott, also has a family member victim to the attacks.   His daughter was randomly punched in the face while walking in a now frequently similar circumstance.   The latest two attacks are in very upper middle class neighborhoods, home to mostly retirees.   The attacks took place their yards.
FORT MYERS FL –  Traveshia Blanks, of Fort Myers, is charged with two counts of battery on a person 65 years of age or older.

“I’m not gonna say it’s not right and it’s not fun, because it is fun,” said a teen familiar with the game.
“What’s not fun about it? Just go up to a random person, slap them and run away,” said another teen.

On Tuesday around 3:50 p.m., deputies responded to a report of a group of people who randomly attacked an unsuspecting victim in the area of South Pointe Boulevard. “I was in shock. Who would expect anything from out of the blue to happen like that. There’s no reason had I done something or said something,” said the 72-year-old Fort Myers victim. (more…)

[New York City]   Community leaders in East New York say that jobs are the answer to ending the so-called “knockout” game.

Councilman Charles Barron and other local activists spoke publicly for a second time about a rash of assaults involving young people punching unsuspecting victims. Barron says the root of the problem is that young people need jobs to help keep them out of trouble. (more…)
