GOLETA, Calif. — The father of a young man gunned down Friday during the rampage in Santa Barbara said he is asking members of Congress to stop calling him to offer condolences but nothing more for the death of his only child, Christopher Michaels-Martinez.

“I don’t care about your sympathy. I don’t give a s— that you feel sorry for me,” Richard Martinez said during an extensive interview, his face flushed as tears rolled down his face. “Get to work and do something. I’ll tell the president the same thing if he calls me. Getting a call from a politician doesn’t impress me.”

Saying “we are all to blame” for the death of his 20-year-old son, Martinez urged the public join him in demanding “immediate action” from members of Congress and President Obama to curb gun violence by passing stricter gun-control laws. (more…)

There is so much PC-ism (literally hundreds of examples) within the Atlantic Beach / Myrtle Beach -Bike Fest Weekend story- it’s almost too much to absorb.

In response to five shootings, three deaths, and a total of ten people shot during Black Bike Week – The city of Myrtle Beach/Atlantic Beach is at odds within itself.

The majority of business and residents want the event cancelled –  But Myrtle Beach is stuck betwixt Atlantic Beach, the NAACP, and a hard place.   The entire issue, support vs. non-support for Black Bike Week, aka now “Bike Week”, falls along racial lines.

However, Myrtle Beach Residents are tightrope walking around their egg shell thin PC-ism’s saying it’s not about race….  While simultaneously the Town of Atlantic Beach residents are actively wielding the race-card. (more…)

The CNN article does not contain a link to the actual 47 page document, nor does it state how the Inmarsat position changed from “the data was irretrievably lost” to now “the data is being released”.  Go Figure…   If you find it can you drop a link in the comment section.    Never mind, I found it here:  https://www.dca.gov.my/mainpage.html

I uploaded the Malaysian Press Release and Data to the SCRIBD account, and will embed the data in a separate post (the next post).   Thanks… /SD

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (CNN) — Data from communications between satellites and missing Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 was released Tuesday.

For weeks, the satellite company Inmarsat said it didn’t have the authority to release the data, deferring to Malaysian authorities, which are in charge of the search for the plane that disappeared more than two months ago over Southeast Asia. (more…)

The NAACP vows litigation vengeance if the Myrtle Beach Mayor tries to stop the violence or cancel future events.

SOUTH CAROLINA – […]  “I don’t know if there’s anything I could say that could satisfy our residents and the business community in our city right now,” said Myrtle Beach Mayor John Rhodes.

WMBF News spoke with the Mayor on Monday to see if the city has plans to make changes to Memorial Day Weekend security in the future to prevent crime.  The short answer is yes.

“I’m fed up with it; I’m mad as hell about it,” added Rhodes.  “Something has to be done and whatever we have to do to correct this thing, that’s the direction we’re going in.”

This triple homicide is one of five shootings in Myrtle Beach in less than 48 hours.  Rhodes said this crime trend does not reflect the true Myrtle Beach. (more…)

Yesterday afternoon we highlighted a contrast of media coverage.

Friday in California Eliot Rogers shot 3 people during a shooting rampage and the media ran the story non-stop for the next 24 hours. Meanwhile in Myrtle Beach, SC, a similar rampage happened moments later.   Similarly 3 people killed, several more wounded and yet almost nothing said outside of local media.

Why?

Unlike California, the Myrtle Beach shootings did not stop on Saturday.   Last night two more people were shot in a similar violent fashion bringing the total number of people killed or wounded to TEN in just 24 hours of a holiday weekend in Myrtle Beach. (more…)

For the backstory, and to understand the ideological make-up of the parties being discussed, CLICK HERE.   *Note* MEP’s are Members elected to the European Parliament from each EU nation.

Results are still being tallied, but it looks like a ONCE IN A LIFETIME Thunder shock of devastation to the liberally minded British, and AN UNPRECENTED SET OF VICTORIES for the Conservative British Ukip party.

UPDATE – At 1am, with more than 350 counts declared, UKIP was on 29 per cent, ahead of Labour and the Tories neck-and-neck on 24%.

[…]  Nigel Farage tonight hailed Ukip’s victory in the European elections as the most ‘extraordinary result in British politics for 100 years’.

Support for Ukip has surged by more than 12 per cent, outstripping a more modest boost in votes for Labour, while the Lib Dems faced near-wipeout, with some calling for Nick Clegg to resign.

Mr Farage said he was ‘proud’ of the campaign which has seen him humiliate the Westminster parties, pushing Labour and the Tories into second and third. (read more)

Two things to remember as you read this result.   #1 The daily Mail is (like the New York Times) a liberal outlet;  so when they use the words “extreme” and “radical” they are using them in the same context as the NYT and WaPo describe the Tea Party.

#2)  Marine Le Pen can be conceptualized in the same vein as French version of Sarah Palin.    Strong, commonly attractive, conservative principles embodied in a nationalist (exceptional) outlook.

(Via Daily Mail) The far-right National Front has topped polls in France as countries across Europe turned to extremist and anti-EU parties.

Exit polls suggested the anti-immigrant party led by Marine Le Pen had taken more than a quarter of votes, pushing President Hollande’s Socialist Party into third place with just 13 per cent.

It is the first time that the party – which wants to drastically cut immigration and reduce the influence of Islam – has come first in a nationwide French election in its 40-year history. Projections suggest it could take 25 Euro seats out of 74. (more…)

Eight people shot by Elliot Rogers 24/7 media coverage. Yet same Day Eight people shot in Myrtle Beach rampage. Media? ((crickets)) Why?

“Three killed, five wounded in Myrtle Beach shootings“….

….or so goes the Politically Correct CNN headline.   Considering there were only two homocides in 2013 one would think this headline would lead to questions.   Eight people shot in Myrtle beach – during one shooting spree and three of them dead?

Isn’t that actually more people than were shot by a Hollywood Socialite yesterday ?  Yet, we don’t see wall-to-wall CNN media coverage of this one….  Why is that ?

Alas, a little further research and you discover this specific shooting spree has an element the PC media just cannot discuss.   It’s Black Bike Week.   From their website:

Now it’s it’s time for Black Bike Week 2014 The Revolution!  Black Bike Week’s Back!! and Black Bike Week Back is GROWING!!    No Helment law, No Noise Ordinance, No haters, AND MORE PEOPLE

Over 500,000+ People will be hitting the Myrtle Beach Area for 4 days of non stop riding, partying, and fun! “if you can stay long you def should!!!

Note how in the CNN article they make no mention of the event, and note how even in the Carolina article (below) they obfuscate the event removing the self-identified, and self-promoted, racial aspect of the event in favor of a disingenuous “Bike Week” label.   Political Correctness running amuck.

2014’s Victim #21 finds himself facing an all too familiar response from Law Enforcement, “Denial”.

“My watch wasn’t taken. My phone, which was in my hand, wasn’t taken,” he said. “There was no attempt for my pockets that I could see.”

Despite the brutally obvious pattern the police say it was an attempted robbery.   Yet nothing was taken from the victim, and nothing was even attempted to be taken from the victim.   A 16-year-old black attacker, a random white male victim not paying attention to the inherent risk approaching him.   Stop me when you’ve heard this before…..

(Via Daily Caller)   A New York City man who said he was randomly attacked by three teenagers says he thinks he was a victim of the ‘Knockout game’ even though police are calling the attack an attempted robbery.

Sal Avila required surgery for a broken nose he sustained during the vicious attack, which occurred near the campus of New York University last Sunday, Channel 4-New York reports.

Avila told the news station he was leaving a friend’s house and looking at his cell phone as three teenagers passed by.  Then he was punched.

“Just as they were about to walk past me, one of them moves very suddenly and I feel a very hard impact to my face, as if I got hit by a brick or something,” Avila told Channel 4-New York. (more…)
