San Diego, CA — Thankful residents of City Heights appreciated the kind gesture of cops invading their home for no reason, beating and then arresting family members — at least according to a July police report filed after the incident. The family was thankful for being framed for a crime they never committed.
The only problem with this “official story” is that it’s basically completely fabricated. Continue reading “Cops Say Family Thanked Them For Beating and Arresting Them In Their Own Home”

Cities across California are becoming more aggressive in citing and arresting homeless people for simple activities like standing, sitting or resting in public places, according to a report released Thursday by a legal clinic at the University of California, Berkeley.
The report, unveiled by the Berkeley law school’s Policy Advocacy Clinic, finds that local laws against vagrancy are increasingly “criminalizing” the homeless in an effort to drive them from communities and “make them someone else’s problem.” Continue reading “California cities ‘criminalize’ homeless”

A man arrested on drug charges last summer has accused three city detectives of stealing more than $3,000 from his apartment after they took his keys and entered his Central Avenue home without a search warrant.
Police records indicate the detectives violated departmental policies when they seized a large amount of crack cocaine and more than two pounds of marijuana from the apartment. The detectives did not file drug charges and failed to photograph and fully document the evidence, including leaving an entry for “collection location” blank in a property report.

TALLAHASSEE — The case against Tadrae McKenzie looked like an easy win for prosecutors. He and two buddies robbed a small-time pot dealer of $130 worth of weed using BB guns. Under Florida law, that was robbery with a deadly weapon, with a sentence of at least four years in prison.
But before trial, his defense team detected investigators’ use of a secret surveillance tool, one that raises significant privacy concerns. In an unprecedented move, a state judge ordered the police to show the device —a cell-tower simulator sometimes called a StingRay — to the attorneys.

This ice cube trick is a method that will make you look younger and full of energy. Other than that, it has the power to make some illness disappear.
The thing about it is that the location of the pressure point is where exactly the head and the neck unite. That point is called Feng Fu in Chinese acupuncture. Continue reading “Be Healthy And Youthful: Put An Ice Cube At This Point On Your Head”
We are Cove Point – by Margaret Flowers
For decades, there has been a mostly dormant liquefied gas (LNG) import facility in the community of Cove Point on the shore of the Chesapeake Bay in Southern Maryland. Surrounded by forest on conservation land and across the street from residential homes and neighborhoods, the huge white storage tanks are only visible from the opening at the plant’s entrance. It used to be that locals hardly gave the facility a thought. The area is known for its Calvert Cliffs, where 12-million-year-old fossils from the Miocene Era are plentiful, for its historic light house, beaches, fishing and boating, and for the usual activities of community life.

A friend reports hearing a sweet elderly lady in the pew next to him saying a prayer.
It was so innocent and sincere that I just had to share it with you:
“Dear Lord: The last four or five years have been very tough. You have taken my favorite actor – Paul Newman; my favorite actress – Elizabeth Taylor; my favorite singer – Andy Williams; my favorite author -Tom Clancy; and now, my favorite comedians – Robin Williams and Joan Rivers.

Our Constitution has become a suicide pact.
That’s the view of Thomas Jefferson, expressed in an 1819 letter to jurist Spencer Roane, when he said “If this opinion be sound, then indeed is our constitution a complete felo de se” (suicide pact). The opinion Jefferson referred to is the legitimacy of judicial review, the idea, as he put it, that “gives to the judges the right to decide what laws are constitutional and what not, not only for themselves in their own sphere of action but for the Legislature and Executive also in their spheres.” He warned that accepting such a doctrine makes “the Judiciary a despotic branch” that acts as “an oligarchy.” Continue reading “Why Not One Governor Is Qualified to Be President”

Outpost of Freedom – by Gary Hunt
It is normal, in any criminal proceeding, for the Defense Attorney to file a Motion to Dismiss. Most often, these are simple appeals about nothing of significance, though they do add chargeable hours.
In K. C. Massey’s case, however, we find a “Motion to Dismiss Indictment“, with merit. Perhaps not in a legal sense, but in a truly lawful sense – The difference that is anything can be enacted (legal), though unless it is firmly based upon the powers and authorities granted in the Constitution, it may be unlawful.
