INDIANAPOLIS – Indianapolis police were responding to reports of multiple fights and gunshots at Castleton Square Mall Saturday evening.

IMPD dispatch confirmed the incident, but said few details were available.
Tony Katz, host of The Morning News on RTV6’s newsgathering partner WIBC, was at the AMC Theater in Castleton at the time and described the scene:

“I was in the Hunger Games, the 6:20 showing, so it was well into the movie. No one heard any gunshots. A man with a baby had gone outside of the theater, and then he came back and said, ‘I don’t know what is going on, but people are screaming and heading this way.’ So everybody got up and headed toward the exits.” (more…)

Yesterday, The Daily News outlined a story of a predatory attack where Ohio teen, Cheyanne Willis, says her then boyfriend drove to a parking lot where she was ambushed by six women.  Today another story of Black Mob Violence hits the headlines…
VALLEY VIEW, Ohio – A viewer sent NewsChannel5 video of the fight that broke out at the Valley View movie theater Friday evening.  Police say nearly 200 to 300 juveniles were involved in the brawl, which happened in the lobby.

The call came in about 9:30 p.m. at the Cinemark At Valley View And XD located on Canal Road, according to police.
Valley View Police Chief Matthew March told NewsChannel5’s Michael Baldwin that 10 police departments responded to the scene. (more…)

Major Hat Tip and a Happy New Year to iOTW
Racooning ! I had forgotten that term. Priceless.

The unstable FTP people continue to threaten law enforcement…
ST. LOUIS (AP) — A St. Louis man was charged Thursday with making threats against police and the St. Louis City Justice Center on Twitter.
Jason Valentine, 35, faces 10 felony counts of making a terrorist threat, the St. Louis Circuit Attorney’s office said Thursday.
Valentine is being held on a $100,000 cash-only bail, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, which did not specify which jail. It wasn’t clear from online court records whether he has an attorney or when his first court appearance would be.
Valentine allegedly tweeted about “Kill a pig Night” throughout December, the probable cause statement said, and that he threatened an explosion at the Justice Center on Wednesday.
“St. Louis City Justice Center Mysteriously Exploded 12/31/2014,” one tweet read, according to the statement. Another said, “New Years Eve Massacre Kill A Pig Night.”

(Via Truth Revolt) The outgoing Governor of Maryland, Martin O’Malley (D)—who also happens to be a possible 2016 presidential candidate—has commuted the sentences of the state’s remaining death row inmates.
Last year, Maryland’s death penalty was repealed, which O’Malley cited in a statement Wednesday as the basis for his decision:
“Recent appeals and the latest opinion on this matter by Maryland’s Attorney General have called into question the legality of carrying out earlier death sentences — sentences imposed prior to abolition,” O’Malley said. “In fact, the Attorney General has opined that the carrying out of prior sentences is now illegal in the absence of an existing statute. The question at hand is whether any public good is served by allowing these essentially un-executable sentences to stand.” (read more)

If you are going out, be careful.  Apparently there are numerous locations where FTP riots/protests and events are planned for tonight.  My recommendation would be to stay home and be safe this year.

(Via BizPac) Cops are going to have to watch out for more than drunk drivers New Year’s Eve celebrations around the country promise to be even more raucous – and potentially dangerous — than usual this year, with race-mongering radicals planning mass disruptions to protest what they call routine police abuse of blacks. The group behind the website Stop Mass Incarceration has helpfully put together a listing of planned “actions” nationwide under the heading, “Rock in the New Year with Resistance to Police Murder.” There’s a whole nonsensical bill of particulars about the reasons for protesting, starting with “business as usual in Amerikkka includes wanton police murder of Black people.” (more…)

Typical progressive.  When faced with blistering criticism -of his own creation- from the New York Police Department, team De Blasio works feverishly to get people to stand up attack the police and defend him publicly.
NEW YORK CITY – While Mayor Bill de Blasio was personally coaxing the city’s police union presidents to meet with him, his top aides were on the phones with lawmakers urging them to blast PBA President Patrick Lynch and other officers for turning their backs on the mayor following the assassinations of two of New York’s Finest, DNAinfo New York has learned.
As late as Monday afternoon — the same time de Blasio was speaking with police union leaders to set up Tuesday’s détente to possibly mend their fractured relationship — the mayor’s government affairs honchos were privately cold-calling the city’s Democratic delegation of city and state elected officials, asking them to publicly criticize Lynch and those officers who dissed the mayor.

Given the contrast evident amid the racial grievance industry, and the more recent violent tendencies exhibited, it should come as no surprise that Lesley McSpadden would be heralded as a representative for hatred, violence and poor decision making.
Strange, strange times…...
SAINT LOUIS – The St. Louis County NAACP recognized Lesley McSpadden, mother of Michael Brown Jr., during the branch’s fifth annual Jazz Brunch on Saturday, December 20. McSpadden, joined at the event by several members of the Brown family, was privately presented with a check for an undisclosed amount.
It was a small “love token” of their appreciation, said John Gaskin III, local NAACP youth leader and national NAACP board member, “to let her know that she’s loved and that the county civil rights organization is remaining true to the fight for justice for her and her family.”
The event was held at the Ritz-Carlton in Clayton – a short distance away from where a St. Louis County grand jury chose not to indict then Ferguson Police Officer Darren Wilson in Brown’s fatal shooting on August 9. (more…)

It would appear the teddy bear and soccer ball crowd grabbed their goodies and disappeared into the 57 forests.

(Via National Review Online) Once again, local-TV investigative reporters are showing up their national counterparts.
Recall that this summer the administration insisted the thousands of Central American illegal immigrants it was waving across the border would be put into deportation proceedings and those who did not qualify for asylum would be removed. You’d think, then, that there’d be bigshot D.C. journalists interested in finding out how many actually bothered to attend their immigration hearings.
You’d be wrong. (more…)

This is rich… reporters went to see who showed up for the Kwanzaa parade and no-one was there parading so they left. But that didn’t stop the local CBS affiliate from reporting on it “as if” it did happen.  The over-the-top funny aspect is the tweet you see is from the same CBS affiliate… LOLOL…

(it makes you wonder if  Greg Mills is the author of the article)

LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com) — The 38th annual KwanZaa Gwaride parade made its way down Crenshaw Boulevard Friday, marking the start of the seven-day festival of Kwanzaa.
The gwaride, which is the Swahili word for parade, brought together members of L.A.’s African-American community as they turn their focus on “Nguzo Saba,” the Seven Principles behind Kwanzaa: unity, self-determination, collective work and responsibility, cooperative economics, purpose, creativity and faith.
Organizers named the theme of this year’s parade “Perfect YOUR Temple,” or body. They said it was “a call to arms in our constant and ongoing efforts to `perfect’ our lives.”
The gwaride began at the corner of Crenshaw and Adams boulevards, headed south along Crenshaw to Leimert Park, where organizers held a “Black Lives Matter” rally.
Some participants walked the parade carrying signs underlining important issues to the community, such as police brutality, home foreclosures, judicial corruption, transparency in government and environmental racism.  (read more)
