Let’s pause for a moment and evaluate recent events and recent claims by this President Obama [aka Dear Leader] of a Safe/Secure America under his watch:

Last night North Korea successfully launched their first ever 3-stage Intercontinental Ballistic Missile placing “something” in near earth orbit. North Korea has nuclear weapons ya’ know.

Yesterday from the border region of Afghanistan/Pakistan al-Qaeda’s #1 Ayman Al Zawahiri sent a video message to the salafists in Egypt to rise up off their prayer mats and support the sharia constitution by Muslim Brotherhood leader President Morsi.  “You must meet the request of the Egyptian people for Sharia rule in order to attain dignity and pride,” Zawahiri said in his video

That’s the same Egypt we just approved to get twenty brand spanking new F-16 fighter jets.

Also yesterday in West Africa, specifically in Mali, the freedom reform Prime Minister was forced to resign after al-Qaeda forces took control of the military and performed a coup de ta. al-Qaeda now controls the country.  Soldiers carried out a late-night arrest of Mali’s prime minister at his home here, forcing his resignation early Tuesday and casting new doubt on plans to chase out radical Islamists who control much of this troubled West African nation.

Many people are wondering about the *shift* noted in Mark O’Mara’s representation of George Zimmerman. While no one can get inside his head it is possible to listen, understand and objectively review his current position which can aptly be described as: His worst nightmare has come to pass.

Mark O’Mara is representing an innocent man, George Zimmerman; and O’Mara is very uncomfortable with that.  He does not want that responsibility – but that responsibility has found him.

He is not used to this. He never expected this. Nothing, so far, in his legal career has prepared him for this and it is very well summed up from a recent conversation I had with someone who said:

Mark O’Mara will learn far more from George Zimmerman, than George Zimmerman will learn from Mark O’Mara. (more…)

Thankfully Treeper admin Sharon was not there (but close):

DH had a doctor’s appt about a mile from this mall early this afternoon.   We had intended to shop at the Barnes and Noble store in the mall after the appointment, the B/N is about 100 yards from the Macy’s front door. If we had gone at the time we had available to us, we would have been there.   It’s so stunning to realize that many (like us) were spared even the trauma of being in the vicinity….and others are struggling through the evening hours, unable yet to hear from loved ones or inside the mall yet perhaps in hiding.   The gunman was wearing body armor and a hockey mask.   The police are searching store by store to locate those still frightened and concealing themselves.

Life is fragile, is it not.

OREGON – According to preliminary reports, a man with a semiautomatic rifle opened fire near Macy’s around 3:29 p.m. (Pacific) The man, who may have been wearing body armor and camouflage clothing, also was seen near the mall’s food court.

John Canzano, sports columnist for The Oregonian, reported that as many as 60 shots were fired while he was shopping at the mall.  Canzano said he first noticed people “running out of the mall kind of crying and upset.” He stopped a person who said “somebody has an automatic weapon and is shooting.” (more…)

I doubt you could find a more apropos example of hypocrisy than comparing the media coverage of the leftist union behavior in Michigan against the ever-false media claims of violence from the Conservative Tea Party which remains mythical and non-existent…..   

[Stella Writes]  In November there were two union-backed initiatives to change the Michigan Constitution; both failed. One would have given unions the constitutional right to collective bargaining in our state, which meant that “right to work” could not be passed here.   The unions spent millions, but lost.

Our governor [Snyder] has, in the past, said that “right to work” wasn’t a priority for him, and he felt that it was divisive. Because of the ballot initiatives backed by the unions, he has seen that they will do everything possible to push forward the power of unions, so he changed his mind on backing RTW, and today signed legislation passed by the Michigan senate and house.

Right to Work advocate and conservative voice Steven Crowder is punched in the face by IBEW union member Tony Camargo.   The union was attempting to tear down a Right to Work supporter tent with women and elderly people still inside.

(Via CNN) On Tuesday evening. Gov. Rick Snyder, a Republican, signed the legislation, which allows workers at union-represented employers to forgo paying dues.

Thousands of people, many of them union workers, gathered outside the statehouse, chanting and holding signs as snow fell.At least three school districts were closed as teachers traveled to Lansing to protest.

There are 23 states which have right-to-work laws, mostly in the South and western plains states, where union membership is relatively weak. Nationwide, union membership stands at 11.8%. (more…)

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…)

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…)

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…)

….”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…)

(Via GWP) The racist Hollywood Actor/Comedian who recently proclaimed President Obama as “our lord and savior“, appeared on NBC’s Saturday Night Live proclaiming his thrill at getting to kill whitey in the opening monologue;  and like good little indoctrinated white-guilt liberal idiots the New York crowd roars with approval…..

 “I got a new movie coming out ‘Django Unchained’. And in the movie I got to wear chains.  But don’t be worried about it because in the movie I get out of the chains.  I get free.  I save my wife and I kill all the white people in the room.  How great is that?”

Reverse the races and can you even imagine if a white actor said how great it was to kill all the black people in a room? (more…)
