Finally some good news on the pushback to asset forfeiture…
(Via Reason) Some great news in asset forfeiture reform is coming out of Florida. S.B. 1044, approved by the legislature earlier in the month, was signed into law today by Gov. Rick Scott.
The big deal with this particular reform is that, in most cases, Florida police will actually have to arrest and charge a person with a crime before attempting to seize and keep their money and property under the state’s asset forfeiture laws. One of the major ways asset forfeiture gets abused is that it is frequently a “civil”, not criminal, process where police and prosecutors are able to take property without even charging somebody with a crime, let alone convicting them.
This is how police are, for example, able to snatch cash from cars they’ve pulled over and claim they suspect the money was going to be used for drug trafficking without actually finding any drugs.  (read more)

The Virginia State Trooper has been identified as Chad Dermyer.
He was 37.
Dermyer was married and has two children and was originally from Jackson Michigan.
He is a former marine and was at the Greyhound terminal for specialized training on criminal interdiction.
State police have also identified the man who opened fire on Dermyer as James Brown III, 34, of Aurora, Ill.   Two civilians were also shot at the terminal.  Brown was shot dead by two other troopers.
Brown was traveling from Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina to Chicago.  Brown has a history of violence including gun violence and drug activity.  Brown was well known to the authorities in/around Aurora Illinois, and had previously served two years in prison.

The MSM went into immediate obfuscation mode on this event hours ago.  Virginia State Troopers were conducting a training exercise at a Greyhound Bus Station when a shooter opened fire upon them.
The media is currently making it seem like a random shooting at a bus station – that is NOT the case.  This has all the earmarks of a pre-planned assassination attempt.  Six people shot, one trooper killed:

RICHMOND, Va. – A Virginia State trooper who was shot when a suspect opened fire at a Greyhound bus station in Richmond Thursday afternoon has died, multiple sources told WTVR CBS 6 News.
Richmond Police Chief Alfred Durham said at least six people were shot when a suspect opened fire inside the bus station in the 2910 N. Boulevard at 2:45 p.m. (more…)

(Via Daily Mail) Republican front-runner Donald Trump’s campaign manager Corey Lewandowski has been charged with simple battery for allegedly grabbing a reporter, in a case that may hinge on a Secret Service claim that the journalist first made unwanted physical contact with the billionaire-turned-politician.

[…] a member of Trump’s Secret Service detail told DailyMail.com on Tuesday that Fields touched Trump twice – and was warned by agents to stop – before Lewandowski pulled her away.

“She crossed in between agents and our protectee after being told not to,” said the agent, who was present that night in Jupiter. (more…)

(Via Reuters) A police officer was shot and wounded on Monday in the U.S. Capitol complex and the gunman captured, a source citing information from the Sergeant-at-Arms office in Congress said.

Gunshots were heard in the U.S. Capitol Visitors Center and workers were told to shelter. The source said the officer’s wounds were not serious.  Congress is in recess, with few lawmakers in Washington. (link)

Fox News is now being told that there is no Capitol police officer down and that the situation is still very fluid.https://t.co/PgExXElUhL

The Easter Day Massacre
(Warning: Graphic Content – This is not a spoof)

An Easter egg hunt in Connecticut turned into a bloody rampage as hoards of violent parents stormed the fields around PEZ Headquarters in a frenzied attempt to garner the precious eggs.
Children were captured on video screaming in agony as mobs of adults tore baskets from their hands, beat the peeps out of them, and left them laying bloodied on the field of Easter conquest.  As a two year old was having her little face shoved into the dirt by the heel of a crazed chaperone, the event organizers pleaded with the raging mob to stop.
Unfortunately, the chocolate covered blood lust could not be quenched until the last of the 9,000 eggs was captured.  When the dust settled, ambulances were called to care for the youngest of the wounded…

(The Daily Mail Has a Full Outline of the Horror) An Easter egg hunt descended into chaos on Saturday after parents in Orange, Connecticut, stormed the field.

Children as young as four were trampled by adults in a rampage to steal buckets and grab as many of the 9,000 hidden eggs as possible from the third annual free event at the PEZ headquarters. (more…)

Candidate Donald Trump called in to the Michael Savage radio broadcast today to discuss current events in Brussels, Belgium and the presidential race:

Stunningly, Piers Morgan pens an Op-Ed in the Daily Mail today asking: ‘when are people going to begin listening to Donald Trump about Islamic Terrorism’ (link).  However, Morgan stops short of explaining why Trump’s proposals make more sense than anyone else.

For decades the Western World, and the U.S. specifically, have approached The Islamic Jihad as a problem the non-Islamic local and global community can solve. If only we can attract enough Muslim allies to join us in the ideological fight.

It doesn’t work.

The emphasis is on the wrong syllable.

It’s time for a reset.

In October 2015 the DOJ announced it was dropping the investigation into the IRS, Lois Lerner, and the unlawful sharing of taxpayer data in the IRS targeting investigation surrounding True The Vote et al.

As a direct consequence of the DOJ decision, congressional inquiry into the IRS targeting matter seemingly dropped from the radar.

However, if you draw a line from the original intent of the entire enterprise, the post-2010 mid-term “shellacking”/”secret research project“, forward to the 2016 election cycle an interested observer might still be left asking:

“why did the IRS, through Lois Lerner, deliver the 1+ million pages of tax filings, to include the entire donor list of Tea Party and patriot groups, through 21 CD-ROMs and not by electronic data transfer.  Information that was specifically sent to Eric Holder and the U.S. Department of Justice”?

This is an obvious question which, despite the numerous congressional hearings on the matter, was never asked – nor answered.

The entire scheme is riddled with complexity; almost too complex for the average person to understand, and seriously difficult to summarize.  However, when you boil it down here’s the essential components that are no longer suspicion or supposition, but factually provable: (more…)

Today Donald Trump became America’s Hero for Free Speech and Free Assembly – America’s Champion!

The same organized leftist thugs who march every year against the latest social justice cause celeb, are back at it again 2016 targeting Donald Trump.  This time their efforts are targeted to disrupt a Donald Trump rally in Phoenix Arizona.

The radical, and often violent, leftist thugs always show what/who they fear the most by who/what they choose to target.  Today Donald Trump receives the endorsement of the Tucson Border Patrol who said:

…”Donald Trump is the only candidate who has our backs”…

Proving, yet again, that one candidate stands squarely on the side of law and order.
