What was once considered an outlier event, refusing service to a police officer, is now becoming common place amid the national franchise chain of Dunkin Donuts restaurants.
Adding to the frequency, two more separate events in this weekend; one in Rhode Island and another in Connecticut.
In one event an employee refused to serve a police officer and the owner overhead the denial:
[…] According to the police report, the employee noticed the officer at the back of the line and she loudly said, “he didn’t get the message, we don’t serve cops here,” according to police.
The officer left the busy store without any further interaction with employees, and as he returned to his car, the store’s manager and the employee approached him, offering apologies for the comment, police said. The employee said she was joking.
In October of 2013 a 14-year-old student named Philip Chism, beat, raped and murdered his teacher, Colleen Ritzer, his trial begins this week. His defense is claiming the teacher used a “trigger word”.
At the time of the initial murder, the brutality of the attack created some intensely horrific potential headlines. As a consequence the politically correct LEO and Massachusetts media, needed to avoid the uncomfortable racial aspect, and documented Chism as “white” with “dark complexion”. Backstory HERE and HERE.
After his arrest, Chism was sent to a juvenile detention facility. While at the juvie facility Chism stalked and attacked a female staff worker at the detention center. As a consequence he was re-arrested (with additional charges pending) and removed to a high security prison without the possibility for bail. He is being tried as an adult.
Chism initially confessed to killing Ritzer, his algebra teacher, when being questioned by authorities. However, the judge disallowed his confession based on the potential for him not understanding his right to remain silent. (more…)
Matthew Smith is the 18-year-old student who Umpqua Community College shooter, Christopher Mercer, selected to take possession of an envelope containing a manifesto and computer flash drive.
It is apparent from a CNN video interview with Matthew Smith’s mother, Summer Smith, that she (they) have been given instructions not to discuss what Matthew was given. See Video:
Interesting news blurb update amid an otherwise memory-holed story now almost six months old.
TEXAS – […] Of the 135 people originally ordered to wear GPS ankle monitors, all but 22 have been allowed to remove them, the Waco Tribune-Herald reported Sunday. Their lawyers have reached agreements with prosecutors to modify the conditions of their pre-trial release.
After initially locking up more than 170 people in connection with the May 17 incident outside Twin Peaks restaurant, McLennan County prosecutors have not charged anyone with the shooting deaths of nine people. At least 20 others were hurt. (more…)
Shooter Birth Certificate Name is: Christopher Sean Mercer – 07/26/1989 (Black Male).
Mother: Laurel Margaret Harper – 04/05/1951 (Black Female)
Dad: Ian Bernard Mercer – 05/15/1960 (White Male)
Divorced in 2006
Ian Mercer (DAD) comes forward and says he had no idea his son had any firearms. He also claims the last time he saw his son was prior to Chris and Laurel moving to Oregon.
The YouTube ID of A1IWC1s-EE4?feature=player_embedded is invalid.
The parents divorce was in 2006 and Chris Mercer was always in the parental custody of his mom, Laurel Margaret Harper, so it is possible the father had no idea – but it strains a level of credulity that Mom and Son all-of-a-sudden took up a firearm hobby. Facebook statement before shooting by Mom: (more…)
Many of you may remember the name “Umar Lee” aka “Bret Lee” from the Ferguson protests in 2014. In the months of Ferguson Black Lives Matter protests, Umar Lee surfaced as a rather unstable fellow who called on his BLM cohorts to engage in violence.
Umar Lee is now running for Mayor within the City of Saint Louis. See Video:

Multiple Updates Below – Shooter ID’d as 26-year-old “Chris Harper Mercer” ♦ Last night an anonymous poster on the Website 4Chan posted a warning of an intent to carry out an attack at a Northwest U.S. Community College (CACHE HERE). ♦ Today an attack was carried out:
According to this Local report: The gunman who opened fire at Umpqua Community College in Oregon asked victims to state their religion before opening fire, according to multiple reports. An 18-year-old student told the News-Review newspaper that the gunman, after shooting her teacher in the head through a window, told people to get on the ground. He then told people to stand up and state their religion before opening fire. Twitter user @BodhiLooney, who said her grandma was at the school, said the shooter asked people if they were Christian. “If they said yes, then they were shot in the head,” she wrote. “If they said no, or didn’t answer, they were shot in the legs.”
♦ Umpqua Community College was/is the local college attended by Alek Scarlatos (pictured below far right). Scarlatos was one of the 3 U.S. Heroes who took down the jihadist gunman on the train in France recently. Alek was enrolled in this current fall semester (per his Facebook), however he cancelled his classes and took time off to take advantage of an opportunity and complete in Dancing With The Stars.

Porter was the only one not to attend the hearing. It appears Marilyn Mosby is leveraging Porter against the other five defendants; perhaps that explains Porter’s absence in court.
(Via Baltimore Sun) The six Baltimore police officers charged in Freddie Gray’s arrest and death will be tried separately over the course of the next several months, with proceedings against Officer William G. Porter starting Nov. 30.
The new timeline, which pushes the trials back from a previously scheduled date of Oct. 13, was established during a hearing in Circuit Court on Tuesday afternoon, where five of the six officers appeared before Judge Barry Williams for the first time. Porter waived his right to attend the hearing.
[…] The delay in Porter’s trial came at the request of the defense which said it needed time for further investigation. The delays in the five other officers’ trials came at the request of the state and was granted by Williams over the objections of the officers’ attorneys. (more…)
The BLM movement has been well documented to include some of the most anti-social, hate-filled elements of the Occupy crowd; only BLM one comes with specific violence toward police and law enforcement.
(TPM) – Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) called on Americans to focus on racial justice and expressed her support for the Black Lives Matter movement in a Sunday speech at the Edward M. Kennedy Institute for the United States Senate in Boston.
Warren referenced the late Sen. Ted Kennedy’s (D-MA) focus on civil rights issues and said, “If his life and death had a meaning, it was that we should not hate but love one another; we should use our powers not to create conditions of oppression that lead to violence, but conditions of freedom that lead to peace.”
She said that since the Civil Rights Act, the United States has not come close enough to equality.
“Fifty years later, we have made real progress toward creating the conditions of freedom — but we have not made enough progress,” she said, according to her prepared remarks. (more…)
