” Walter Scott’s family have asked Al Sharpton not to attend the funeral, it is claimed.
The New York-based Reverend became a prominent voice in the wake of Michael Brown’s shooting at the hands of a white police officer in Ferguson last August.
But as the nation’s attention turns to South Carolina and footage showing Officer Michael Slager shooting dead father-of-four Walter Scott, his parents and brothers have made plain that they do not want the same treatment.
According to the New York Daily News, the family told Rev Sharpton to ‘keep away’ from the relatives-only memorial service.
A source close to the Scotts told the paper: ‘We don’t want another Ferguson type of circus here.’ “
” Two Albuquerque police officers have been charged with murder in the shooting death of James Boyd, a homeless man killed during a standoff in March. The Albuquerque District Attorney’s Office filed one count of murder each against SWAT team member Dominique Perez and former detective Keith Sandy on Monday.
The Associated Press reported (via Yahoo News) Jan. 12 that Albuquerque D. A. Kari Brandenburg says she will take the case straight to a judge for preliminary hearing and by-pass the usual Grand Jury process. Brandenburg says she wants the hearing to be open to the public.
” Unlike Ferguson and unlike in New York City, we’re going to know. The public is going to have that information,” District Attorney Kari Brandenburg said. She was referring, of course, to the recent high-profile cases of Michael Brown and Eric Garner, both cases where men were killed by police officers and where both officers were eventually left not indicted by grand juries in their particular cases.
At the same time, neither of the two men accused of shooting and killing James Boyd, have been arrested. Sam Bregman, a lawyer representing Keith Sandy, said, “I’m looking forward … to the DA’s office presenting one single witness that says this is murder.”
However, the most damning evidence against the Sandy and Perez may be a video taken of the incident — from a police officer’s helmet camera — which shows a knife-wielding man known by Albuquerque police to be mentally ill (due to several run-ins with the suspect in the past) in a stand-off with several policemen in the Sandia Mountains. James Boyd, the man holding the upper ground and the knife, is being approached by several law enforcement members, all with their handguns drawn and pointed at Boyd. Although a defense attorney would later characterize Boyd’s actions as dangerous to the approaching officers, most viewing the viral video saw it as use of excessive force and outright murder, because Boyd had verbally agreed to surrender and had even gathered a few things when stepped toward the police officers and was shot by bean bags, tasers, and six live rounds.”
Let’s hope that there can be some small measure of justice served for Mr Boyd . For those unfamiliar with this senseless killing you can catch yourselves up with our previous posts here , here, here , here and here … and read more about the impending prosecution of Keith Sandy and Dominique Perez at the Examiner .
” Abraham Stine, 39, punched a man to death in Room 116 of Fairbanks’ Extended Stay Hotel on Wednesday believing that the man had just raped his girlfriend, witnesses told Alaska State Troopers.
The girlfriend, 31-year-old Dominique Vasquez, admitted to having consensual sex with Wesley Lord, 37, according to a criminal complaint filed Thursday at the Fairbanks Courthouse. But Vasquez convinced two other men present before and at the time of the alleged murder to claim she was raped, the complaint says.
“ Later, Vasquez admitted she lied about being raped by Lord and she had consensual sex with him,” the complaint says. “Vasquez knew Stine has a history of assaulting people, from her personal experience.”
Stine and Vasquez, both from Barrow, face one count each of second-degree murder. Vasquez told investigating troopers that her boyfriend punched Lord while she placed her hand over Lord’s mouth to silence him.
” St. Louis Bosnians outraged about a deadly hammer attack in the city’s Bevo Mill neighborhood spilled into the streets Sunday night to voice frustrations over violence touching their community.
“ We’re just angry because we’re trying to protect our community,” said Mirza Nukic, 29, of St. Louis. “We’re just trying to be peaceful.”
Nukic was among at least 50 people, mostly, if not all Bosnians, who briefly blocked Gravois Avenue at Itaska Street on Sunday night to protest the killing. The intersection was near where Zemir Begic, a Bosnian man who moved to St. Louis this year, was attacked by at least three teens with hammers early Sunday.
Police said Begic was in his vehicle about 1:15 a.m. in the 4200 block of Itaska when several juveniles approached and began damaging his car. Police said Begic got out to confront the juveniles, who began yelling at him and hitting him with hammers.
Begic, 32, who lived in the 4200 block of Miami Street, suffered injuries to his head, abdomen, face and mouth. He died at St. Louis University Hospital.”
” Three people have been arrested after the skeletal remains of two men were found in a backyard of a home owned by Satanists in a North Carolina village.
Pazuzu Illah Algarad, 35, was arrested and charged with murder last Sunday after the two bodies were discovered in shallow graves at the house in Clemmons where neighbors say he has performed animal sacrifices and satanic rituals.
A friend claims that he had ‘told everyone’ about the bodies, but nobody believed him, and he described how he killed them, ate part of them and then burned the rest in a fire pit.
Amber Nicole Burch, 24, who lives with Algarad and is described as his wife on Facebook, was also charged with murder, while 28-year-old Krystal Nicole Matlock has been charged as an accessory with police alleging that she helped bury the bodies.”
” Nearly every mass shooting incident in the last twenty years, and multiple other instances of suicide and isolated shootings all share one thing in common, and its not the weapons used.
The overwhelming evidence suggests the single largest common factor in all of these incidents is that all of the perpetrators were either actively taking powerful psychotropic drugs or had been at some point in the immediate past before they committed their crimes.

” A jury found Crystal Mangum guilty of second-degree murder Friday for stabbing and killing her boyfriend, Reginald Daye, in 2011.
After Superior Court Judge Paul Ridgeway sentenced Mangum to 14 years and two months to 18 years in prison, deputies immediately led her handcuffed out of the courtroom.
In 2006, Mangum accused three Duke lacrosse players of raping her at a party. The charges were later dismissed after the evidence did not back up Mangum’s story. Her accusations tore apart the Duke lacrosse program and resulted in the disbarment of District Attorney Mike Nifong.
Assistant District Attorney Charlene Franks, who prosecuted the murder case, said it was never about Crystal Mangum, the Duke lacrosse accuser.”
” Here is a recent video showing a gang of Muslims, without any human affection, slaughtering a man and then abusing his corpse:
This is a Google translation of this video :
Syrian opposition militias Nkotaia Headers and abuse of corpses and U.S. support is coming to them 2
These are brutal videos , exposed by Walid Shoebat , of our “allies” in Syria that show beheadings , executions and ritual slaughter of Christians and Muslims alike . Not for the squeamish or faint of heart .
And this is the translated title for the video below :
Shiites hell,,,,,,, beheading soldiers Maliki and Sahoath the Phalange Islamic Fighting in Syria & Islamic bat
” This is all human sacrifice, and its demonic. After watching this video, understand that these are the people who are killing Christians, and PLEASE DONATE TO SAVE CHRISTIAN LIVES.“
” “New York is not a ‘stand your ground state.’ There is a duty to retreat, especially if you’re armed and the other person isn’t. You can’t walk away from a dead guy when there’s a shooting involved,” Brady said.
But it isn’t just a shooting; it’s an act many here consider to be heroic — a defense of the community. It has now set the stage for a trial that could help define the limits of deadly force when an armed citizen is facing a fleeing criminal suspect.
” That’s America, we say, as news of the latest massacre breaks – last week it was the slaughter of 12 people by Aaron Alexis at Washington DC’s navy yard – and move on. But what if we no longer thought of this as just a problem for America and, instead, viewed it as an international humanitarian crisis – a quasi civil war, if you like, that calls for outside intervention? As citizens of the world, perhaps we should demand an end to the unimaginable suffering of victims and their families – the maiming and killing of children – just as America does in every new civil conflict around the globe.
The annual toll from firearms in the US is running at 32,000 deaths * and climbing, even though the general crime rate is on a downward path (it is 40% lower than in 1980). If this perennial slaughter doesn’t qualify for intercession by the UN and all relevant NGOs, it is hard to know what does.“
* This is a bogus number as the FBI Homicide statistics show . In reality the total of ALL homicides annually regardless of method used is less than half of the number cited .
The author can include suicides if he wants but that is a red herring . The suicide rate has no bearing whatsoever on public safety . In fact there is a strong argument to be made from the libertarian side that a person should have the right to end his/her own life should they so choose , but that’s a matter for a different post .
As the above chart shows the murder rate peaked in 1980 and has been generally headed downward ever since .
To simplify matters here are the odds of an American being murdered on a per capita basis from 1960 to the present , decade by decade :
1960 – 1 in 19,684
1970 – 1 in 12,702
1980 – 1 in 9,781
1990 – 1 in 10,610
2000 – 1 in 18,056
2010 – 1 in 20,940
2012 – 1 in 21,172
While these figures include murder of all kinds and not just firearms deaths the trend is clear . The individual American is safer today than at any time in the past half century . What has changed for the worse is the sensationalism and dishonesty of the mainstream media and it’s creation of the 24 hour news feed .
The ever present desire for ratings combined with the media becoming more and more of a government handmaiden has created the illusion of a country awash in violence when , in fact , the opposite is the case .
See for yourself . Below are the crime stats from 1960 through the present on a per capita basis .
A quick review of the above table reveals that the rates for violent crime , property crime , rape ,robbery , larceny and auto theft all peaked in 1991 . The rates for murder and burglary peaked in 1980 and assault in 1992 .
The Statists control the “bully pulpit” and thus would have us believe that we are under siege and in need of an armed intervention . It all boils down to Rahm Emanuel’s ” never let a crisis go to waste ” statement with the added caveat that if there is no crisis , manufacture one .
According to the above table virtually ALL of Eastern Europe , South America , Africa and Asia have drastically higher murder rates than the US yet we don’t hear any calls for intervention there . In closing we would say ” Mind Your Own Damn Business ” . We have a handle on our crime rates . Find someone who doesn’t and offer your ideas to them .
Perhaps you should take a look out your window Mr Porter .
” A newlywed wife was charged on Monday with killing her husband by pushing him off a cliff in Glacier National Park in Montana during an argument just a week after they got married.
Charging documents suggest Jordan Linn Graham, 22, was having second thoughts about getting married around the time the body of her husband, Cody Lee Johnson, 25, of Kalispell was discovered.

” Connecticut police decided against sending a hostage negotiator to the home of the Petit family on the morning they were brutally murdered, it has emerged.
Jennifer Hawke-Petit was raped and strangled to death and her daughters, Hayley, 17, and Michaela, 11, were tied to their beds and died when the house in Cheshire was set alight on July 23, 2007.
The girls’ father, Dr. William Petit was beaten and tied up but escaped the flames, living to see Joshua Komisarjevsky and Stephen Hayes be sentenced to death in 2011 for the murders.
