A blogger in New York -Davy V-  first outlined the attack.   Then we posted the assault, then Chuck Ross posted it via The Daily Caller, then WHAMMO !  Fox News picked up the story and it just ran on Megyn Kelly show and Sean Hannity has picked it up.

Sunlight is indeed the BEST disinfectant.   Previously the Rochester Police Department stated:

“Rochester Police Department Sgt. Elena Correia  told Rochester’s Democrat and Chronicle newspaper that she DOES NOT consider the incident an assault, but rather a “simple case of harassment”!  (link)

The Daily Caller News Foundation followed up with Correia. “At this time  there are no updates,” she said.

“Based on the video itself and on New York penal law, it constitutes  harassment.”

The DCNF asked Correia if investigators saw that “True Goon” had hit the woman  with his fist.

“Yes, we saw that,” she said, but clarified that an assault charge would  require the victim to suffer “substantial pain”.  (link)

What a difference a few days of sunlight and increasing publicity makes.   Today: (more…)

WASHINGTON DC – In a brief speech on the House floor about safety nets that touches on all manner of government assistance, Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee suggested that the term “welfare” is no longer politically correct, and like all masters of doublespeak, wants Congress to change its name to a “transitional living fund.”

Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) hailed the war on poverty, endorsed government welfare programs, and said the “safety net has to be something for all of us.”

“Maybe the word welfare should be changed to something of, ‘a transitional living fund.’ For that is what it is — for people to be able to live,” she said.  (link)

The Story Here

It’s not stealing – it’s just redistributing the cheetos

COLORADO (Via CNN) […]  while marijuana use is not completely legal in 48 states, according to the poll Americans remain firmly in favor of medical marijuana laws, and continue to believe that a fine, not jail time, is the appropriate penalty for the possession of small amounts of marijuana in states other than Colorado and Washington State, which has also voted to legalize pot.

How do Americans feel about the new system in Colorado, the first state in the country to allow anyone over the age of 21 to buy small quantities of marijuana from state-licensed businesses?

One-third of those questioned in the poll say the state’s new law is a good idea and 29% say it’s a bad idea. But a 37% plurality say that they want to see what happens in Colorado and other states that legalize marijuana before the decide how they feel about this matter.

Given the fact that federal law still outlaws the sale or possession of marijuana, how should the federal government handle pot in Colorado? (more…)

(CNN) — A Nebraska toddler who repeated a slew of profanities in an online video has been taken into child protective custody, Omaha police said Wednesday.

While authorities found nothing criminal in the video, officials from the Omaha police’s Child Victim Unit and the Nebraska Child Protective Services took the infant and three other children into custody on Wednesday, the police department said on its Facebook page.

The joint investigation found safety concerns, the statement said. (more…)

More evidence of what the media calls “the myth of knock out assaults”.

This is NOT an isolated incident – But man O’ Man has it ever opened up a conversation fraught with third rail politically correct fear.

First the media report from CNN (and make sure you watch the video to understand the concern):

(CNN) The diapered child is bombarded with obscenities and racial slurs by the adults around him.

The African-American toddler knocks down a chair and gives nearly as good as he gets, responding to some of the comments with an upraised middle finger and telling one of the adults at one point, “Shut up, bitch.” The adults laugh and prompt him to repeat other crudities.

Just another day on the Internet — until the police union in Omaha, Nebraska, posted the clip on its website to highlight what it called the “cycle of violence and thuggery” the community faces.

Now, the Omaha Police Officers’ Association is under fire from the city’s police chief, the ACLU and at least one community leader. They say the move needlessly antagonizes the city’s minority communities, who make up about a quarter of Omaha’s 409,000 residents. (more…)

Serendipity strikes again 😀 – Generally the large media conglomerates, who operate on a self identity of liberal alignment, get it wrong.   However, every once in a while they can set their ideology on a side table and construct quality information.

This is one of those rare but valuable instances.

The White House is probably definitely having fits right now, because this USA Today outline destroys the Obama administration’s false claims of “al-Qaeda being on the run“.

[…] The chaos of the Arab Spring revolutions, al-Qaeda’s shift to a more bottom-up structure and a perceived pullback of U.S. influence in the Middle East are behind the spread of America’s No. 1 enemy in the world, say several analysts who study the core group in Pakistan and affiliates who swear allegiance to it.

The latest and most stark example came this week in Iraq, where al-Qaeda militants seized control of government buildings and districts of Fallujah and Ramadi, cities that were liberated from jihadist control by American troops  during the Iraq War. (link)

New York Police Call This “Simple HARRASSMENT” ?

This example is a case study in:  1.) why it is important to discuss the TRUE intent of criminals behind the “knock out” assaults;  2.) how unwilling the police department have become toward enforcing laws when the criminal behavior is clearly evidenced; and 3.) how a politically correct media have become afraid to show the truth behind the conduct.

In the video below you clearly see an aggravated  “assault”.  You can also see a racial intent on behalf of the attacker “in his own words”.   The brutality of the mindset behind the attacker is factually evident – watch for yourself:

The full story behind the attack is well outlined HERE.

…Including the response from the Rochester Police Department who have watched the video, and publically stated the activity you see in the video is not a criminal assault.

“Rochester Police Department Sgt. Elena Correia  (pictured left) told Rochester’s Democrat and Chronicle newspaper that she DOES NOT consider the incident an assault, but rather a simple case of harassment“!

FULL STORY HERE  including everything the police would need to arrest and prosecute a suspect.   Yet they refuse ?

This deserves widespread attention !

CHICAGO (Reuters) – Business Insider reports:

A Chicago ban on gun sales within the city, aimed at reducing gun violence, is unconstitutional because it goes too far in barring buyers and dealers from engaging in lawful sales, a federal judge ruled on Monday.

U.S. District Judge Edmond E. Chang found that the U.S. Constitution’s protection of the right to keep and bear arms must include the right to acquire them, within limits.

The Judge stayed his ruling, however, giving the city until Monday to decide on how to respond.  It is expected that Mayor Emmanuel will direct the city to appeal.

The City claims that gun control is necessary to control gun violence; however, the majority of guns taken from criminals within the city were made using “straw man” purchases in neighboring counties – in and of itself, a “crime”.

The blog heyjackass continues to track gun violence in the Windy City, which shows no sign of slowing down.
