I read about this story last week and was waiting to see what “official” position the university took.   A College professor, Dr. Deandre Poole told students to write the name  “Jesus” on a piece of paper and throw it on the ground to stomp on it.

Not surprisingly one student took exception, refused, complained and was then suspended.

The school initially said this:

[…]  Dr. Poole was conducting a classroom exercise from a textbook entitled “Intercultural Communication: A Contextual Approach, 5th Edition” and released this statement to CBS12: ”Faculty and students at academic institutions pursue knowledge and engage in open discourse. While at times the topics discussed may be sensitive, a university environment is a venue for such dialogue and debate.”  (link)

(Via American Thinker) First of all, there is no gun show loophole.

People who sell firearms at gun shows are licensed Federal Firearms Licensed (FFL) dealers to begin with. Other people can set up a table at a gun show to sell tee shirts, laser sights, hand grips and other shooting accessories. Unless they are FFL dealers, they cannot sell guns.

If you read articles by journalists who visited gun shows, read carefully what they write because you will discover they will mix buying a tee shirt with buying an AR-15 and state that is some cases, they didn’t even need a background check. The LIV reads the article and goes away thinking, “Wow, he bought an assault rifle at a gun show without any background check.” Actually he bought the tee shirt without the background check but combined multiple purchases to mislead the reader.

There are just way too many things wong with this story….  Hopefully the aide will not be forced to confront a line-up….

MASSACHUSSETTS – A state representative in Massachussetts is being investigated after allegedly sending pictures of his genitals to a government computer.

The investigation is ongoing and the committee has not formally reprimanded the individual in charge, but it is being widely reported that Democratic State Representative John Fresolo is the one behind the scandal.

He allegedly sent ‘lascivious photos of his privates’ to a computer at the State House, and an aide complained to the Ethics Committee to start the investigation.

House Speaker Robert DeLeo has not confirmed any accusations in the case except that he did say there was ‘sufficient cause’ for an investigation.  (more…)

Saulter said while there will be an investigation, it appears the homeowners did nothing wrong. “Our sheriff is always letting homeowners know to arm themselves. This is one of the reasons why,” he said. “Sometimes it takes a while for us to get out this far, and they have to take care of it themselves.”

“They were in fear for their lives, their house was being broken into, the suspects were armed,” Saulter added. “Early indications are everything was justified.”

MAYPEARL (WFAA) — Two teenagers died Wednesday afternoon in a failed home invasion robbery attempt south of Maypearl in Ellis County.

The teens were identified as Kenneth Chaffin, 17, and Dillon King, 18, both of Oklahoma.

It all started around 1 p.m. when a woman alone in her two-story rural farmhouse on Bee Creek Road heard a rattle at the door. She told deputies she saw two men trying to break in — one of whom was dressed in camouflage with a gun strapped to his back. (more…)

BRUNSWICK, Ga. — The Brunswick Police Department has announced 2 arrests have been made in the Thursday killing of Brunswick baby.

DeMarquis Elkins, 17, and a 14-year-old male are both being charged with first-degree murder. The 14-year-old’s identity is not being released due to his age.

BRUNSWICK, Ga. — A manhunt continues for a teen and pre-teen shooting suspect in Brunswick.   Brunswick police are checking the attendance records of area schools to see who was missing or noted as absent from class yesterday. (more…)

Numerous people are only just now becoming aware of the lucrative industry of “grievance”.  Despite the growth of income potential from grievance industrialists over the course of many years, most people never really paid attention to it.   The Zimmerman case brings an opportunity to deliver sunlight to the scheme(s).

George Zimmerman is, on paper, being prosecuted by the State of Florida, but the state is not really his prosecution – The State is merely facilitating a process created by, structured by, and afforded by the Grievance Industry.

As we have previously outlined Angela Corey was chosen by Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi because Corey needed some quick credibility with the African-American constituency.   Corey was one of the Campaign Managers for Bondi – so the relationship is quite sympatico.

Bondi was the prosecutor in another previously successful Grievance Campaign against the State, “The Martin Lee Anderson case“.   In the Anderson case, Trayvon Martin family attorney, Benjamin Crump, was also the lead civil representative for wrongful death claims by Anderson’s family.   In that case Pam Bondi and Benjamin Crump also cemented their friendship and quid-pro-quo arrangements.    Crump was out for money, Bondi needed political clout. (more…)

It should be noted the filing for reconsideration of Benjamin Crump’s deposition and status was filed after ’round one’ of Witness #8 deposition.

• Wednesday Depositions:  Witness 8, “Dee Dee” [Round One]
• Thursday Depositions:  Tracy Martin, Witness 7, Witness 10, Witness 25
• Friday Depositions:  Sybrina Fulton, Jahvaris Fulton

(Orlando Sentinel)  George Zimmerman’s attorneys were in South Florida late last week, deposing Trayvon Martin’s girlfriend, dad, mom and brother, according to newly-filed case records.

On Wednesday Mark O’Mara took the sworn account of Trayvon’s girlfriend, the state’s most important witness, at a Miami office of the Florida Department of Law Enforcement. (pdf file)

Shortly after Trayvon’s death, she told authorities that she was on the phone with him a few moments before he was shot by Zimmerman, a Neighborhood Watch volunteer who had called Sanford police a few minutes earlier, describing the unarmed 17-year-old as suspicious. (more…)

At a joint press conference with Obama at the Prime Minister’s Office following a lengthy meeting, Netanyahu said that with the entry of the new government, “Israel remains fully committed to peace and a solution for two states for two people.”
“We extend our hands in peace and friendship to the Palestinians… let us put aside all preconditions and work together to achieve a historic compromise and put an end to the conflict,” the prime minister said. (more…)

Understanding how and why George Zimmerman is being prosecuted in the Trayvon Martin shooting is a complex undertaking.   Most of the people with a ‘general sense’ of the case have no idea the depth of the alignment against him.

This week many people became aware of the name “Thomas Perez” because he is a nominee put forth by President Obama for a cabinet secretary position, Labor Secretary.  However, in his previous role as head of the Civil Rights Division of the Dept of Justice, Mr Perez played a key role in the George Zimmerman case.

It should be noted that Congressional Black Caucus member, Congresswoman Corrine Brown, played a key role in bringing race-based support from Perez to the forefront of the case.   Both Congresswoman Brown, and Sanford Mayor Jeff Triplett, asked the Dept. of Justice to intervene in the case.   [All supportive documents are within this pdf]

Predictable in the extreme….

WASHINGTON DC – Democrats are defending President Barack Obama’s provocative March 18 pick to head the Department of Labor, Tom Perez, by highlighting his Hispanic heritage.

“This morning: RNC autopsy warned GOP to improve Hispanic outreach. This afternoon: Senate Rs fight Hispanic nominee,” said a tweet from Sen. Harry Reid’s digital media advisor, Faiz Shakir.

Brad Woodhouse, the spokesman for the Democratic National Committee, broadcast a tweet from teachers’ union leader, saying “This is why GOP does so poorly with Latinos. Perez deserves better.” (more…)
