WASHINGTON – Seattle police say the 17-year-old suspect in the shooting death of a man in the Greenwood neighborhood has been taken into custody.
Police say the teen was getting ready to board a plane at SeaTac airport. He was taken into custody by the Port of Seattle police.
KING 5 has learned the 17-year-old is Byron White, a senior at Ballard High School. (more…)
(Reuters) – The first witness at Oscar Pistorius’ murder trial told the court on Monday she heard “bloodcurdling screams” from a woman followed by shots, a dramatic opening to a case that could see one of global sport’s most admired role models jailed for life.
Taking the stand after the Paralympic and Olympic star pleaded not guilty to murdering his girlfriend, model Reeva Steenkamp, on Valentine’s Day last year, neighbor Michelle Burger testified that she was woken in the middle of the night by a woman shouting for help.
“I was still sitting in the bed and I heard her screams,” Burger, who lives 177 meters (194 yards) from Pistorius’ home in an adjacent housing complex, told the Pretoria High Court.
“She screamed terribly and she yelled for help. Then I also heard a man screaming for help. Three times he yelled for help,” she said, speaking in Afrikaans through an interpreter. (more…)
(Via Daily Caller) Police charged a New Jersey man with resisting arrest and assaulting an officer, but recently revealed footage from a dashboard camera told a different story: Not only did the officers start beating the man for no apparent reason, but they actually crashed one of their vehicles into the man’s car.
Then they allegedly lied about what transpired and suppressed the evidence, but were somehow found innocent during an internal investigation.
Prosecutors, however, dropped all charges against 30-year-old Marcus Jeter, a black man, once they saw the incredible video footage, which fully corroborates Jeter’s side of the story.
Jeter was not resisting in the slightest. And yet he was eventually charged with eluding arrest, resisting arrest and assaulting an officer. Prosecutors offered him a plea deal of 5 years in prison, according to Watchdog Wire.
Yeah, think about it. What lengths do you think these people will go to in their efforts to avoid sunlight ? Carvalho is deeply connected to the political machine. He turned down the position of Federal Asst. Secretary of Education – He’s connected deeply to both the President and First lady, as well as Eric Holder. He’s also deeply politically attached to FL State Attorney General Pam Bondi.
This is the man who created the M-DSPD issues which led to illegal diversionary programs in Miami-Dade Schools and eventually Trayvon Martin’s death….. It just sickens me to see this guys get away with this, like – you have no idea.
The School Superintendents Association announced in Nashville Thursday that Carvalho had won the 2014 National Superintendent of the Year. Carvalho, who attended the event with two school board members, said he was “humbled and honored” and as he accepted his award his first thoughts were of his father.
The award, given to one of the country’s 49 state superintendents of the year, is likely to further ever-present speculation about whether Carvalho will seek public office or a job on a bigger stage. But Carvalho said in an interview Thursday evening that he remains as focused as ever on working for the 350,000 students of Miami-Dade County. (more…)
Information provided from both Legal Insurrection and Kansas City Star:
(Legal Insurrection) The parallels to the Zimmerman defensive shooting are striking, including the fact that the attacker was unarmed, the relative positions of the attacker and the defender, the beating of the defender’s head against a concrete sidewalk threatening loss of consciousness, the failure of observers to provide assistance, and the relative lack of injuries to the attacker other than the bullet wound inflicted in self-defense.
Kansas City Star – […] “He then somehow flipped me over onto my back and the subject began punching me on the left side of my face and head,” Hubbard told detectives. “He was on top of me and I was in an extremely vulnerable position and I was exhausted from the struggle with the suspect.
“I don’t know how many times he struck me, but I started to black out and saw lines across my eyes. He continued to strike me and I started to lose consciousness and I believed the suspect was not going to stop hitting me until he killed me. (more…)
This story is horrific. A white male, Davis Woods, was leaving a local deli in Western Philadelphia when a black male walked up to him from behind and *brutally* smashed him in the head with a hammer. Mr. Woods friend, Bernard Williams, was in their truck and witnessed the attacker.
The suspect was identified by the police using CCTV systems. Last night (2/24) they named the suspect as Nathanial Maybin, aged 29. Today (2/25) Maybin turned himself in.
The police are calling this an “attempted robbery”. However, there is video available where you can decide for yourself –CLICK HERE– which was broadcast on local Philadelphia ABC channel.
If you watch the video, and listen to the statement of the witness, Bernard Williams – the man’s friend, you will note the friend does not think this was robbery either.
The friend thinks it was attempted murder.
The friend, Mr. Williams, also happens to be black.
It’s obvious to both Mr. Williams, and any non-PC infected observer, this was not a botched robbery. WATCH THE VIDEO However, the PC infected police department just cannot allow the truth to be discussed. (more…)
We wrote about the attack yesterday, but we just noticed an ABC media report which includes another version of the victim statement to the police. Identifying something the media refuse to accept is real:
Waggoner told police that he heard a suspect say:
…“if you want to be all the way in the club, you have to kill the polar bear.” (ABC News)

A white Dayton Ohio bus driver was fixing a bus when a group of three black teens savagely attacked him in their attempt to gain gang membership.
Rickey Wagoner (pictured left), was shot multiple times in the chest, and hip.
Wagoner described the attackers as young black males, likely in their late teens. He said they fled in a dark-colored 1990s model Ford. No arrests have been made.
According to a police report, Wagoner told investigators he believed the shooting may have been a gang initiation. He said he heard one of the suspects tell another to kill him “if you want to be all the way in the club.” (full story link)
Notice in the local Dayton Daily News article (screen shot above) they cut out the full victim quote to remove the part: “you have to kill a polar bear“?

In Austin Texas a woman was jogging. Police claim she J-walked while jogging so they forcibly stopped her, handcuffed her and demanded id.
She did not have id in her skimpy jogging outfit, so they arrested her for “failure to identify”.
The Texas cops put her in a police car, took her to jail, booked her, mug shot, finger-prints etc., for J-walking and jogging without identification.
A guy across the street saw the whole thing and thought it was ridiculous. He recorded the incident and took pictures.
Then the general public began using social media to express their outrage.
Via Weasel Zippers – Reports of fires across Caracas, unknown as to their cause or origin. What is known is international media are being told to leave the country. Ones who won’t leave are threatened with violence and death if they do not.
