Maybe they should pass some strict gun control laws or something.   No, wha… wait.

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – It was a violent night in New York City after at least 13 people were shot in incidents spanning each of the five boroughs.

(Via Daily Mail) Republicans dropped a hammer on IRS Commissioner John Koskinen during a testy hearing covering the disappearance of emails tied to the agency’s tea party targeting scandal.
The emails, covering the period January 2009 to April 2011, belonged to embattled former official Lois Lerner and could shed light on whether an expansive scheme to single out conservative groups for special scrutiny was guided by members of Congress or administration officials outside the IRS.

‘The committee requested all of Lois Lerner’s emails over a year ago,’ said House Oversight Committee Chairman Rep. Darrell Issa. ‘And we subpoenaed the emails in August 2013 and again in February 2014. … You worked to cover up the fact they were missing and only came forward to fess up on a Friday afternoon after you had been caught red-handed.’
‘You personally did not cause the targeting,’ he told Koskinen, referring to the tea party scandal. ‘You personally did not destroy the emails. But by your actions and your deception, you now own this scandal.’ (more…)

REPOST – We originally shared this four days ago. However, this previously outlined story was picked up by Megyn Kelly last night:

On January 29th of this year, the federal government posted an advertisement seeking bids for a vendor contract to handle “Unaccompanied Alien Children“.
Not just any contract mind you, but a very specific contract – for a very specific number of unaccompanied minors: 65,000.

Like Victim #22, Victim #23 is fortunate enough to have a police department willing to admit this was a pre-planned Knock Out Assault (though they still call it a “game”).

Video in link with victim interview as he awaits facial reconstruction surgery and also an interview with police investigators.

MICHIGAN – Ferndale (WXYZ) – The “knock-out game” has been making headlines across the country.  It is a “game” where someone tries to knock out an innocent stranger with one punch.
Now, Ferndale Police are investigating whether that is what lead to an attack on a man walking along Woodward Avenue.
It happened just before midnight on Sunday night as Edward Ewing walked across Wordsworth Street.  He had just stopped at White Castle for a bite to eat and was walking home.  He saw two men walking toward him.
“Was just going home,” said Ewing.  “Next thing I know I am sucker punched.”
The punch knocked Ewing out.  He suffered a concussion, broken jaw, chipped teeth, cuts, and bruises.   (more…)

You might remember this from an earlier article.   After an extensive public corruption sting operation in Philadelphia, targeting both Republicans and Democrats, the District Attorney decided not to prosecute anyone because only the Democrat politicians -who happened to be black- were accepting bribes:

Pennsylvania Corruption Sting Shut Down Because Only Black Democrats Were Accepting Bribes…. The Democrats Suffered “Disparate Impact”, Ergo The Sting Operation Had To Be Stopped.

“Sources with knowledge of the sting said the investigation made financial pitches to both Republicans and Democrats, but only Democrats accepted the payments.”

The DA did not want to be accused of being racist, or to be perceived as having racist intentions, so they dropped the investigation.  Now….
PHILADELPHIA –  Philadelphia District Attorney Seth Williams on Wednesday announced he has launched a grand-jury investigation into the aborted sting probe that captured five Philadelphia Democrats on tape accepting money or gifts but ended with no charges filed.
Williams said his renewed investigation was already under way and would be completed in “months, not years.” (more…)

2014’s victim #22 has a small consolation – at least the police admit the motive this time…

PENNSYLVANIA – Police are on the hunt for a group of teenagers who allegedly planned a videotaped attack on a homeless man and then posted the recording on Facebook. Pure evil” is how Upper Darby Police Superintendent Michael Chitwood described the beating. “There was absolutely no reason to do it, other than being mean and evil,” he said.

According to Chitwood, surveillance video from a nearby bank shows four teenage boys sitting at the Aronimink Trolley Stop at Burmont Road and Morgan Avenue in Upper Darby back on June 11.
“You can see that they’re planning something in the surveillance video,” Chitwood said. “You see all four of them get up and go through the doorway that leads inside the building where the victim is seated, doing nothing and minding his own business.” (more…)
