EARLIER: “Walter was a dear friend, and I miss him every day,” [Pierre Fulton] stated in a release from Charleston attorney Mark Peper. “Over the past five years, he helped me to become a better man and showed me the value of hard work. I’ll never know why he ran, but I know he didn’t deserve to die. Please keep Walter and his family in your prayers and respect my privacy moving forward.”
Peper said in the release that it will be the only statement his client makes before any court proceeding. (link)
Well, “the only statement” UNLESS the sketchy stuff comes out which might work against our scripted narrative. If the sketchy stuff comes out, well, then we’ll just have to sell some ‘nuther stuff. Like: (more…)
Police arrested a man who steered his tiny, one-person helicopter onto the West Lawn of the U.S. Capitol Wednesday, astonishing spring tourists and prompting a temporary lockdown of the Capitol Visitor Center.
It appears the 61-year-old pilot was carrying out a stunt to draw attention to Campaign Finance Reform. He had planned the event for two years and even made a video – SEE HERE – (also below) about his endeavors….. “Hey Mike, watch this”
FLORIDA – […] And just hours before Hughes landed in Washington, Hughes’ friend said he called a Secret Service agent to notify him of the possibility of the gyrocopter flight.
“He’s not a suicide bomber, he’s a patriot,” said Shanahan, 65, of Apollo Beach. The whole stunt centers around Hughes’ effort to change campaign finance laws, “or the lack thereof,” according to Shanahan. (more…)
Grande Lum is the head of the Federal DOJ Community Relations Service. As readers here are familiar, he is an Obama-like ideologue but he is also no dummy. There is no doubt Lum has already recognized the dangerous position created by the South Carolina political machine who control SLED.
In our estimation the politicians in South Carolina have created an unrealistic public expectation in the Michael Slager case with an arrest for murder and no hope of achieving a conviction of that charge in court.
The primary mission of the State Law Enforcement Division [SLED] is to provide quality manpower and technical assistance to law enforcement agencies and to conduct investigations on behalf of the state as directed by the Governor and Attorney General. (link)
It became obvious to us when we saw the 4/6/15 Arrest Warrant for “Murder” filed by SLED, a political entity reporting to the attorney General and Governor’s office, the SC political machine was setting expectations incredibly high based on highly dubious information.
In essence they reacted out of fear to the Walter Scott witness video without even interviewing the eye-witness before they filed charges. Their reaction most likely based on an attempt to stop a Ferguson-like uproar, but they simply went too far. (more…)
Some folks might want to consider exiting the eastern part of South Carolina prior to Memorial Day weekend this year…
(South Carolina) “This is much bigger than Walter Scott, but this is the last straw,” [Malik] Shabazz said. “This is the last straw, listen to me well and understand why we have traveled here and why we will remain here. Mr. President, you have a problem that has gotten out of control.
“We’re not going to be hunted down like deer and hunted down like dogs and sit here crying and whining — we’d rather die and have somebody else in self-defense die than take this kind of abuse in the hells of North America, do you understand?”
Shabazz shot down any criticism that he may be making “too much” out of Scott’s death by asking anyone to show him where in America “white men are dropping like flies.” (more…)
Philadelphia – It led to the arrest of two women: the boy’s mother, Aleathea Gillard and her neighbor, Sharina Joachim, who both have been charged with attempted murder, aggravated assault and related offenses, police said.
It started Tuesday afternoon, when Gillard confronted her 10-year-old son, police sources said. She wanted to know where he had been. He said that, en route to his house, on Wellens Avenue near 5th Street in Olney, he had stopped at the nearby Sunoco gas station at 5th Street near Tabor Road. There, the boy said, he tried to earn some extra cash by offering to pump customers’ gas, according to Lt. Dan Brooks, of Northwest Detectives. (more…)
MEMPHIS, Tennessee — CCTV Surveillance video released on Monday shows a group of high school students beating a man at a Tennessee gas station. Police said it was a large group of Northwest Prep Academy High School students.
When you consider the expectation of the Liberal Media, and requests of the grievance industry, it becomes obvious the gas station customers were to blame.
The leadership within all black advocacy groups continually state: “they should never have gotten out of their cars“.
Black Lives Matter ?
In the very first media reports of the shooting by South Carolina officer Michael Slager of Walter Scott the North Charleston police were quoted as follows (Saturday April 4th):
FIRST MEDIA 4/4/15 […] Police in a matter of hours declared the occurrence at the corner of Remount and Craig roads a traffic stop gone wrong, alleging the dead man fought with an officer over his Taser before deadly force was employed.
[…] A statement released by North Charleston police spokesman Spencer Pryor said a man ran on foot from the traffic stop and an officer deployed his department-issued Taser in an attempt to stop him.
That did not work, police said, and an altercation ensued as the men struggled over the device. Police allege that during the struggle the man gained control of the Taser and attempted to use it against the officer. The officer then resorted to his service weapon and shot him, police alleged.

A video containing part of the confrontation surfaced when eye-witness Feidin Santana contacted the family of Walter Scott the following day (Sunday); and then gave the video to South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED) on Monday.
Officer Slager was arrested later Monday afternoon and charged with Murder before witness Santana was even interviewed.
The actual public display of the video began on Tuesday April 7th. With the immediate media storyline stating the original police statements were “false” and/or “factually inaccurate”.
The story became about “lying police”, and that specific narrative framed the media discussion for the next week. Even normally level-headed media punditry jumped into the PC fray for their pound of flesh shouting that Officer Slager falsified his statement(s).
However, with time, further careful research, and much closer looks at the video itself, it appears that nothing initially stated by South Carolina LEO, or more specifically Officer Michael Slager is false or incorrect. [zoomed taser video by Bob]
