The boldness of this perpetrator, to walk up and snatch a toddler away from its parents in broad daylight, at a busy mall in the summertime, speaks to (a) his degree of desperation to carry out his desires and (b) his level of disconnection with reality, loss of ability to perceive potential consequences that would be very obvious to others.  Basically whatever he wants those children for, it has overtaken his ability to process other information.  All of the RAM in his brain is busy with his thoughts of small children, and getting one to himself.

So hopefully the police have found and arrested the right person.  Because JFC, what this person in the Satriale's T-shirt is describing is horrifying, that someone walked right up to his family and casually grabbed their 5-year-old to walk off with her.

Also the fact that this happened twice, at the same place, within a few days, suggests someone whose world has collapsed.  It's a situation that has gone bad and will only end with civic intervention.  So I very much hope they've found the right guy.

Oh, America.  You have police officers nicknamed "Taser Face."

Colin Berryhill had three excessive force complaints in his first year on the force, including one against a minor.  And his supervisor gave him the cutesy nickname "Taser Face" before allowing him to resign under investigation.

Then he was quickly hired at a different agency in a neighboring state, no problemo.  Until -- SURPRISE! -- he got in trouble and had to resign before they could fire him from there, too.

He's not currently working in law enforcement.  But he does still have certification in two states.  So he could get another cop job.  That happens all the time in America.

We need a national "No Donut For You List," in America that would prevent them from working as cops again.   It should be something like the Sex Offender Registry but for people like Pablo Cano and Taser Face.

These two EMTs have resigned, rather than being fired.

How incredibly shameful.

We have equipment that allows us to carry people down stairs.  The newest generation of the stair chair is truly a marvel, allowing responders to move quite a heavy person downstairs without having to lift them at all.  Even an older model does the trick quite well, and every truck I ever rode on had a stair chair.

Even if these two were too lazy to pull out their stair chair and help the man down, for sure this town has a fire department.  They can be called upon to do "lift assistance," bring more personnel to physically carry someone who is too big to move themselves or to be safely moved by the two EMTs.

But also, we learned a lot of different ways to move people in EMT school, including placing them on sheets to get them onto our nifty gurneys, which roll.  So there's not a single excuse in the world for anything shown in this video.

Even assuming this guy is a frequent flyer who calls them all the time with total bullshit.  You know what?  That's why you get the big bucks, fuckers.  You don't make him walk all the way out to your truck and climb up onto your stretcher unassisted.  At a bare minimum, you call fire and have them help him if you're too lazy to do anything at all.

The part where they're mocking him and tugging at him like he's a bag of potatoes, just sickening all the way around.

Shameful.  They're "investigating," for whatever that's worth.  Investigating what, whether to pull their patches?  Press charges?  Their chain of command?  Not the last one for sure.

Wow, this is shameful.  I can't remember the last time I saw a judge lose her bench with her titty falling out.  This lady, Former Judge Christina Peterson -- got stomped off the bench 65-35.  But before that she was a judge, where she got to arbitrate.  What a judge says, goes.  And that apparently went to her head in a really bad way.

I watch a lot of bodycam videos.  I don't bother to report on most of it.  But there are certain things almost every drunken crackhead in America says to law enforcement these days:

• Don't touch me
• I know my rights!
• You're doing too much
• This is recorded (as if they don't all have bodycam)
• No I'm not (in response to "you're under arrest")
• For what?  For what? over and over
• I need your badge number! over and over
• You're a liar (to the cop wearing bodycam)
• Threatening the police/wishing death on their families
• Demanding to be Mirandized when it's not required
• Threatening to sue the cops/have them fired/arrested
• Sometimes they start praying that God will be merciful on the officers/devils that are tormenting them

In this incident, the judge hit almost all of those points.  She was concerned for this officer's immortal soul, because he works for the Illuminati, doesn't know who God is, and the last person who tried her like this died 30 days later.

Judge Peterson was very busy praying the cop's inventory of shortcomings to God, while refusing to identify, which is normally reserved for people who have warrants.  That's usually why people insist on either giving a fake name or not telling the police their real names.

In this case it seems to be simply a control trip.  She's usually dictating terms, and now that she isn't, she's fit to be tied.  She's pulling an extreme form of "Do you know who I am?" insisting that the officer call someone who works for the county -- which the officer doesn't work for, he's with the city -- who will be able to identify her by her voice. 

Ms. Peterson imagines there will be severe repercussions to the officer for not complying with her command.  Every drunk in America does.   Every American yells, "I know my rights," which means whatever demand they are inventing in the scenario.  Take for example this lady who firmly believes she can tell the captain of an airplane he has to show her longstanding, universal policies in writing, when in reality he can just boot her off the plane rather than patiently snarling up air traffic with her nonsense like he did.  She has mistaken an aircraft pilot for, say, a municipal bus driver who must tolerate her bullshit as if air marshals weren't a thing.

I recently saw a lady who got fired from her fast-food job on bodycam.  She said, "That's not how this works" over and over to the cops when they told her she'd need to show her ID and leave the premises right away because she's trespassed from Culver now.  And she was actually sober and not even a judge.  It's the American idiot thing.  Everybody thinks they're in charge all the time.  They all have the right to do whatever the hell they want.

But then former Judge Peterson says the dumbest shit I've ever heard anyone say:  "If somebody got murdered, you'd just go ahead and bring them in without knowing who they are."

Holy shit, they had this woman sitting on the bench!

Ma'am.  I often was called to pick up unidentified dead people.  That's correct.  They're called 9-Bravo, low-acuity cardiac arrest.  Come scoop them up when you have time, when there's nobody urgent to attend to.  Because we, as a society, can't leave corpses just lying around.  And we often have no idea who they are, because they're a skeleton out in the woods, or a homeless guy on the railroad tracks, or whatever.  And yes, we just scoop them up and bring them in.

The biggest and most obvious difference is we take them to the morgue, not the jail.  We don't argue about their IDs because they're dead.

And then people go about the same process this officer is doing with Ms. Peterson.  They set about identifying the person.  They don't just go, "Oh well, he's dead!" and shove him in a box because they can't call somebody identify him by voice.  What a stupid, obnoxious bitch.   What a total failure of education and leadership.  What a complete lack of understanding of how anything works.

I would encourage you to watch the bodycam video of her arrest before laughing her lawyer right out the door.  Shameless.

Bottom line, her friend with the clown makeup on tells a story about trying to grab men to help her break up a fight, and how courageous the judge was to step up and step in.  But when approached by security and the police, the judge was in the middle of a melee.  The police officer says he was punched by the judge.  The body cam footage shows her behaving like  a complete fool.  That's indisputable from the video evidence.  There were other way for adult women in civic leadership to handle the situation.

At the end of the day, FORMER JUDGE Peterson behaved in a way that she could not in good faith counsel any defendant in her courtroom to behave in a similar situation.  People get their probation revoked for this exact sort of thing all the time.  It's a lapse in judgment while drunk, upon which she continued doubling and tripling down ad infinitum.

And then she has the audacity to boo-fucking-hoo with her lawyer about how she's the real victim here.  She declined to take the loud and clear feedback she was given at the ballot box.

Luckily Christina Peterson is no longer in charge of other people's destinies.  I predict no charges being brought against anyone else, including the police officer she accused of working for the Illuminati.

I'd never heard of Alki David before.  But he seems like a dick.  And there are a lot of videos of him threatening to pull his dick out in professional environments.  Including the one below -- proudly posted by David himself.

From DordickLaw.com, the plaintiff's attorney:

"Case Overview

On June 17, 2024, a unanimous jury in Department 76 awarded plaintiff Jane Doe a total of $900 million—$100 million in compensatory damages and $800 million in punitive damages—against Alkiviades David for sexual battery and intentional infliction of emotional distress. The trial, presided over by Judge Christopher L. Lui, brought to light the heinous acts committed by David against Ms. Doe while she was employed at his various companies, including Filmon TV, Hologram USA, Inc., and SwissX Labs.

From February 2016 to April 2019, Ms. Doe endured severe sexual harassment and assault, including rape, at the hands of David. Disturbingly, the evidence presented during the trial revealed that the assaults continued even while David was involved in another sexual assault trial in April 2019. Additionally, David's office environment was alarmingly hostile, with a room at Hologram USA referred to as "The Rape Room" and a pornographic image labeled "HER-ASS" adorning the human resources department door."

Fun fact:  When I worked for the Army, one of my training instructions was that we were to always pronounce the word "HAIR-us-ment."  They spell it right out as a rule.  They're dead serious.  It's a DoD guideline.  Because otherwise it will be a big joke for them all to find opportunities to pronounce it "Her-ASS-ment," and they know it.  The federal government knows very well where our "boys will be boys" factor is currently located.

So this is all well and great.  I'm happy for the lady who got this verdict, just shy of a billion dollars.  I'm sure her former boss is a nightmare.

But we have a thing in America called remittitur.  That's basically where any judge can pull the financial version of a "Judge Adrian," and toss that shit out just because they don't want to be mean to the poor widdle defendant.  So be on the lookout for the super duper rich bully to have ways and means of holding onto his fat stack of cash here in this plantation.

Alki David has been loud and proud for many years.  Check out his YouTube channel.  He's proud of this behavior.  He has a little fanboy army.

This made me really happy, as pleased as I can be when two 13-year-olds have such a terrible experience.  At least they're okay.  And they know their community cares for them and is behind them 100%.

This guy apparently has a drug problem, according to what he told the police.  He allegedly admitted to approaching a teen boy and girl with a knife he'd found, and forcing them into a secluded area where he tied them up and raped the girl before stealing their phones.

The neighborhood tracked him down via surveillance video and Facebook.  They waited for him at the bodega.  When he showed up, they grabbed him by the hair and got him into a headlock.  He took a little bit of an ass-beating.  All of that is fine with me.

I'm truly fine with the neighbors kicking his ass in this incident, for a few reasons.  1.  They had the right guy.  They had photographic evidence including a tattoo.  2.  They didn't stab him to death, like the person in Las Vegas.  They held him for the police.  They're not trained LEO with de-escalation skills and equipment to handle someone who's fighting.  The suspect isn't permanently injured.  They did what they had to do to restrain him.  He's not as badly injured as a lot of people who get arrested by the police for much lesser crimes.

What I'm  not good with is that they opened this report with the guy's nationality and immigration status.

I yearn to live in a world where justice is truly blind, where people are people, including the victims and perpetrators.  His nationality or immigration status are irrelevant, and fuck everybody who politicizes crime, especially rape.  No seriously fuck you.

What I can see from this video is a tent in a vacant lot, next to a smoke shop.   The surrounding walls are broken and covered with graffiti.  This isn't the best area of Las Vegas.

Apparently people came to the aid of a woman screaming.  They believed she was being sexually assaulted.  So they stabbed the man to death, then fled the area. 

Police are reviewing the cameras and looking for witnesses.  The YouTube comments are pretty much unilateral:  "Do not come forward.  The police will only arrest you for doing the right thing."

I'm a socially marginalized person because of my unpopular opinions.

Stabbing him to death was not the right thing to do.  Sorry, it wasn't.

I know that our criminal justice system sucks.  And it especially sucks for rape survivors.  Rape is all but legal in America.  It's really, really hard to get as rape conviction and make it stick.  And "justice" is so uneven in this country that it could either be probation only, nothing at all, or you could get 50 years.  Or you might not be able to even get him charged, even if there's videotaped.  Or you could get him convicted, and the judge decides to just toss it out anyway.  It's a total crap shoot.

The thing is I only want to live in a society of laws.  I don't want to devolve to living in Afghanistan.  I'm not a believer in the death penalty even with "due process."  There are no take-backs once you've killed somebody.  We must let cooler heads prevail.  I'm not in favor of throwing people into dungeons no matter how horrible they are.  We must retain our humanity even when other people allow theirs to fail.

The first time America elected a woman mayor in 1887, it was a prank!  HAHA!  GOTCHA!

From NPR:

"Kansas was years ahead of most of the country in granting women full suffrage. A prank by a few men backfired when Susanna Madora Salter was elected mayor of Argonia, Kansas, in 1887."

Now apparently the womenfolk are making up for lost time in the "running amok while running the city" department.  We're proving we can be just as terrible at any job as any man.

The woman who brought this lawsuit against the mayor was surprised that she won.  I am too.  She also said she's afraid for her safety now.  I definitely would be too.   I used to live in New Orleans.  The first day I arrived, I was warned to stay far, far away from the police.

The above pictures seem pretty self-evident.  It looks like the mayor has her boyfriend on the payroll as a bodyguard.  The pictures were taken from the citizen's home balcony.  The mayor's attempt to define that as "stalking" are laughable. 

Mayor Cantrell makes the same exact argument made by the dingbats who fought with an old man who filmed them while they were parked in the wheelchair space, because they believe they can't be photographed in public without their consent.  And the school board president who was annoyed by the lady yelling at him while he jerked off at the splash pad.  All three of them feel entitled to not be photographed while violating the law in public however they want.

It's bad enough when I see these things being screamed by drunks on bodycams, along with "I know my rights!" (They don't.)  But people in civic leadership are supposed to be educated, have integrity, and set good examples. 

New Orleans is one of the few places I've lived where the police scare me more than Chicago.  And remember, they work for Mayor Cantrell, sometimes as her bodyguard.

I know almost nothing about Oakland.  I've only been there one time.  But I can tell you Sheng Thao is going down.  'Nuff said.  The FBI raiding your house while you're under an election recall is not a witch hunt.  Those two things are completely unrelated.  Because the several other places that they had warrants for are not on the ballot.  The FBI doesn't answer to your Democratic voter base. 

During the Trump administration a hilarious narrative emerged in which the FBI are out to get Republicans!  Yes,  J. Edgar Hoover's right-wing goon squad has shifted its focus now from keeping tabs on the leftists, from all the Wile E. Coyote-type shit they tried to do to MLK and Angela Davis, to now they're after Republicans.  SURE.  They dropped spying on everybody from Occupy! and now they did a 180-degree ideology flip.  Cool story, bro.

The FBI also doesn't run calls.  They respond to credible tips.  When they have enough to get a warrant, they follow up.  They don't raid the home of a major US city's mayor just for laughs.  It hasn't happened that many times in history.  Stick a fork in your own butt, ma'am.

If Dolton, Illinois was a bigger or more famous town, Tiffany Henyard would be a staple of late-night comedy shows.  That's all.   Tiffany can see the devil horns on everybody who doesn't trust her.

"How could you stoop to private eyes, girl?  That's how come you don't believe my lies, girl." -- Will I. Am

From WGN:

"Henyard, her political committee, her cancer charity, her boyfriend, two of her relatives, four trustees who are allies, her deputy police chief and even her defunct burger business are all named in the subpoenas. The documents demand Dolton and the township turn-over payroll, expense, employment, reimbursement, credit card, travel and dozens of other records to a grand jury hearing evidence on Monday.

“You all should be ashamed of yourselves because you all are Black. You all are Black! And you all sitting up here beating and attacking a Black woman that’s in power,” Henyard yelled at trustees during a February meeting. “You all should be ashamed of yourselves.” "

In other words, "Because you are black, you should not complain when an egomaniacal black woman robs you!  Only a white person would complain about that!"

"The FBI investigation is far from the only legal problem in Dolton. The attorney hired by Henyard to defend the village in multiple lawsuits ranging from police shootings to workers’ compensation claims has withdrawn after Henyard’s opponents refused to approve his bills.  Attorney Michael Del Galdo told trustees the village may have more than $20M in liability if it fails to defend itself in court.  ...

“This administration is shameful,” declared one resident during a public comment section of the meeting.  “We are all waiting for the fall of this administration,” shouted another."

I'm adding Eric Adams in here as a runner up.  He hasn't been charged with anything, and he won't go down after being raided by the FBI.  But he's also trash.

"Adams has repeatedly denied the claims of corruption. His team said they don't believe the mayor is suspected of any wrongdoing himself.

"It's gonna run its course...there have been unfounded allegations hurled at me," he said."

But even when Eric Adams is demonstrably dead wrong, he still says he's right.  And his people back him up.  So whatever. 

My point is that I'm lucky to live in a town where my mayor is pretty good.  Because the rest of them are apparently either insane or just horribly corrupt garbage.  And the lady mayors are on track to outdo famous scumbags like Frank Rizzo and Richard J Daley at this pace.

When I have a little more money to spend, I want to start sending donuts to the good boys.  Sharing is caring.
