Crime

Instructive

The documentary below shows a group of five teens being interrogated for the 2011 murder of a 15 year old boy. I know it’s over an hour long, but it includes the interrogations and tactics used. This murder happened less than 10 miles from where I once lived, but years later.

The video is instructive in that it shows how teen drama has grown now to where teens just don’t value human life any longer. It shows police techniques in gaining convictions, and shows the value of shutting up and demanding a lawyer. The psychology at the end, when the little murderers deflect blame and have trouble understanding the consequences of what they have done was also fascinating. Here is the video, with a synopsis below:

The youngest girl was the ex-girlfriend of the 15 year old victim, with whom she had broken up just 3 weeks before.. She lured the victim to the home where the oldest girl lived by texting that she wanted to make up with him. The younger girl’s brother, and a friend beat the victim with wooden poles. The younger girl’s new boyfriend shot him with at least two cylinders full of .22LR. The teens burned and dismembered the body before stuffing the parts into paint buckets and dumping them in a nearby quarry with the help of the siblings’ step father, who also helped to plan the murder- even though he wasn’t there when the killing happened.

The stepfather was found incompetent to stand trial and eventually walked away, a free man. (Despite continuing to be a one man crime wave) Everyone involved got life in prison, except the triggerman boyfriend, who got the death penalty. The older girl later had her conviction overturned after serving 9 years of her sentence, because a judge ruled that her lawyer had made some key errors that entitled her to a new trial. Rather than face another trial, she pled guilty in exchange for time served.

There is still a Change.org petition started by a girl in Germany who wants the death penalty sentence overturned, but it has less than 600 signatures. He remains on death row.

Complicated Shooting

Almost 30 years ago, I lived and worked in Poinciana. At the time, I was a part time firefighter and full time industrial robotics technician. Poinciana was a community of mostly blue collar workers. I coached the local little league football team that my son played in, and my daughter was a cheerleader. It was the kind of area where people raised kids. I left there when my first wife and I were divorced in 1997. It has since become the center for much gang activity. Parts of it are controlled by the Latin Kings, the Crips, and several other gangs. It is now a high crime area.

Poinciana is divided down the middle by the Osceola and Polk County line. Police in the Polk county side arrived to a reported shooting to find one dead gunshot victim, two wounded victims, two unharmed victims, three children who were unharmed, and a car that had hit a house. It was complicated, but Sheriff Grady Judd lays it all out.

All of the people involved are in a street gang. The same gang, the Crips. The guy who was killed is the aggressor and is a felon with multiple convictions. He arrived and began demanding to speak with victim 3. When victim 3 approaches him, he punched him in the face and pulled a gun. Victims 4 and 5 ran to get guns. Victim 5 fired the first shot, and a gunfight ensued. Victims 1 and 2 were in a car at the scene and were not involved in the incident. Victim 1 was shot in the head, and Victim 2 (a woman) was shot in the jaw. At the end, the aggressor died.

No one really wants to talk, mostly because they are all criminals. Guess the race of all involved.

Poinciana is in the 16th percentile for safety. The rate of all crime in Poinciana is 50.27 per 1,000 residents. The US average is 22.7, making Poinciana’s crime rate double the national average. Your chance of being a victim of crime there may be as high as 1 in 13. Diversity is strength!

Me Too

A teacher’s aide doesn’t make much money. Usually just over minimum wage. This poor aide was attacked by a 17 year old student who stands 6 foot 6 and weighs 270 pounds. He beat her unconscious for taking away his video game. In this case, he is being tried as an adult for aggravated battery. If the attack hadn’t been caught on camera, this wouldn’t have happened.

There was a librarian at a local school. She was in her late 50s, a typical little old librarian lady. A girl entered the library, looking to hide from her boyfriend, who she said was threatening her. The librarian let her hide in the back room. The boyfriend came in, demanding to know where she was, saying “Imma kill dat ho.” The librarian stood in front of the door to the back room, and the BF told her to get out of the way. When the woman refused, the BF threw her out of the way, causing her to fall and break her arm. She was later chastised and told that it was her fault for getting in his way.

I was also attacked in my own classroom, you can read about it on this blog.

The animals and pedophiles are running the place.

A Bold Plan

The following video is what happened when a pair of robbers decided to rob Dixie Gun and Pawn in Cobb County, GA. This shooting happened in 2016, but I just now found this video.

As it turns out, it isn’t a good idea to rob a gun store. The gun store owner had this to say:

“I feel sorry for both of them, really, and the guy that’s laying in the floor there, too.”

Classic.

The suspect who was shot by the store owner was later identified as 44-year-old Emmanuel Henry. He was transported to a nearby hospital, where he later died from his injuries.

The Miami Herald Supports Child Pornographers

The title from the Miami Herald reads:

He was homeless and mentally ill. A judge sentenced him to 150 years. Is that justice?

The article tells a story about a man who they allege is mentally ill and was caught in possession of child pornography after he sat in public with his computer and was showing that porn to multiple passers-by.

In 2016, he walked into a Sweetwater Best Buy and snatched a laptop and other merchandise. When employees confronted him, he pulled out his own laptop, declaring, ”Look, I have child pornography!” He began publicly showing his computer screen, lying down between two sets of sliding doors and perusing the illegal images as customers walked by.

Prosecutors offered him a plea deal, where he would plead guilty to one count of possession of child pornography and receive three years. He refused that deal.

So they pressed on with 30 counts of possession, that being what was found on his computer. Throughout the trial, the defendant refused to talk to his attorneys or participate in his own defense. He also refused to undergo mental health evaluations.

So he rolled the dice, went to trial, and the judge gave him the maximum sentence for each of the 30 counts. The total was for 150 years.

After the conviction, after all appeals have been exhausted, now this criminal and his attorneys begin screaming that NOW he has submitted to a psychological exam, and the psychologist claims that he is “unlikely to reoffend.” Why is that? Have his psychological problems been cured? Why wait until after sentence has been passed? Sounds to me like the reactions of a logical mind that is now hoping for a second bite at the apple and using his schizophrenia as an excuse. You don’t get a “do over” simply because you gambled and lost.

Now the Herald whips out the race card. They claim that in a perfect world, Stephens would’ve received treatment for his mental illness. He would have never become homeless or walked into that Best Buy. No, in a perfect world, those children would never have been victimized, and in a perfect world, the defendant in this case wouldn’t have victimized them a second time by having photos of the crime, and victimized yet a third time by him displaying photos of their victimization to the public.

It’s hard not to wonder what Stephens’ fate would have been were he not homeless, mentally ill; if his family had been in court and not thousands of miles away in Michigan, where they didn’t even know that he had been arrested; if Stephens weren’t Black, factors that historically have put defendants at a disadvantage.

What the Herald fails to mention is that, after moving to Miami in 2015, he racked up a list of criminal convictions in Miami Dade – 8 of them for 2015 and 2016, everything from trespassing, to petit theft, and even felony battery. Now this. The man moved to Miami and became a one man crime wave. Through these 8 cases, his mental issues weren’t used as a defense by his attorneys once. Not once.

What next? Rape a child? Kill someone? At least in prison, society is protected from this menace. I am willing to be that this behavior didn’t just begin when he came to Miami. The Herald engages in typical liberal hand-wringing over this criminal’s need for psychological help, while ignoring the child victims of his crime. They merely wave away possession of child pornography by saying “Stephens wasn’t accused of producing or distributing the pornographic material.” which is false, because he was sitting there in the middle of the mall, showing the photographs to passers by. That is, in fact, distribution.

I am sick and tired of the left yammering on endlessly about the rights of criminals while ignoring the rights of the victims of their crimes. However, if my child were one of his victims, I would be sorely tempted to plea for his release so I could mete out the vengeance that his crimes are screaming for.

I am willing to bet that, should that happen, the Herald wouldn’t be running stories to celebrate my cause.

Social Justice

Self described “social justice warrior” Monique Worrell beat “law and order” candidate Jose Torroella in 2020 to become the prosecutor for the 9th judicial district of Florida. She ran on the following platform:

Monique Worrell has pledged to:

  • Implement policies to hold police officers accountable for misconduct
  • End the use of cash bail
  • Expand programs to divert children and adults away from jail
  • Partner with community programs to address mental health and substance abuse issues

The voters of Orange and Osceola counties overwhelmingly voted for her. In so doing, they sided with the “Defund” movement and elected someone who is soft on crime. The woman she replaced was removed from office by the Governor for the exact same policies.

The shooter in this case was pulled over by OPD with three of his friends less than a year ago. They had drugs and ski masks in the car. They had thrown at least one firearm out of the window before stopping. If the prosecutor had done her job instead of campaigning for “soft on crime” social justice, those people wouldn’t have been shot.
So, I ask the voters there: Where is the social justice in a known gang member with multiple violent felonies on his record being able to walk the streets and kill children and news reporters? Yeah. Dead women. Dead reporters. Dead kids. That’s the justice you voted for. You are getting what you wanted.

Enjoy.

But instead, as I predicted, you are blaming law abiding firearms owners. Screw you. Keep voting for this shit. Keep watching animals murder your women, your children, and each other. I don’t care. This is what you wanted, and you have it.

Enjoy.

Crime Hills Strikes Again

One of Orlando’s worst neighborhoods, Pine Hills, aka Crime Hills, has seen yet another shooting. A woman was found shot to death at 11:20 a.m., then the killer returned to the scene at 4 p.m., shooting and killing a reporter and wounding his cameraman who were out covering the story. Not done yet, he entered a nearby home and shot a 20 year old woman and her 9 year old child. Five victims, three of them black. Where is black lives matter and all of the race hustlers to condemn this? Let’s take a look at the killer:

Never mind. No one will care, as long as white people can’t be blamed. At 19 years old, he already had a lengthy criminal history, with convictions for burglary, armed robbery, grand theft, aggravated battery, and multiple gun charges. But instead, let’s blame “gun violence” so they can later blame gun owners and not the criminals who are running wild on our streets. Let’s take a look at murder rates, including white USA versus black USA.

I think I see the problem, and it isn’t guns. Look deeper into the story- two of his victims were a 20 year old mother and her 9 year old child. Can things get more obvious?

Summary Dismissal?

Gaige Grosskreutz is suing Kyle Rittenhouse for shooting him. Now I want you to watch this video clip and tell me what you think will happen. (I have it queued up to the relevant part)

I know that later, Grosskreutz claimed that he only pointed the gun at Rittenhouse because he was in fear for his life, but he didn’t testify to that at all until that point. He never once mentioned self defense.

By Divemedic, ago

Shouldn’t Have Been There

One of the big arguments you hear from the left about the Rittenhouse case is: Kyle is a murderer because he had no business being in Kenosha. If he had only stayed at his mom’s house, he wouldn’t have needed to defend himself.

OK, let’s play that game. I will counter that claim with one single name: Manuel Terán.

Manuel Terán was from Venezuela. He had a student visa to attend Florida State University. Instead, he decided to drop out of school to become a self described “forest defender” who would protest to protect the environment. In other words, he was in violation of the terms of his student visa, and was then an illegal immigrant. He headed up to Georgia and began camping in the woods to prevent the construction of a new police training center near Atlanta. By camping in the woods, protesters hoped to prevent the construction crews from clearing the land.

When Georgia State Police arrived to clear out the protesters, one of the officers was shot. When police returned fire, the dead body was found to be holding a handgun. Ballistic tests matched the bullet taken from the police officer to that handgun. The dead protester was identified as Manuel Terán.

His mother said that Manuel was not the type of person to shoot at police, and also claimed, “They said he had a gun. If he had one, it was for protecting himself against the animals in the forest.” Except it is illegal for him to have a gun, since he was in the country illegally.

Still, Manuel Terán has become a martyr for the cause in Atlanta. If only he had stayed where he belonged. Isn’t it funny how Kyle Rittenhouse was wrong for visiting his father in Kenosha, less than 50 miles from his mother’s home, but an illegal immigrant is celebrated for crossing a national border illegally, travelling thousands of miles, arming himself with a handgun (which the left wants outlawed), then using that handgun to shoot a police officer?
