Charleston shooter Dylann Storm Roof was reportedly taking a drug that has been linked with sudden outbursts of violence, fitting the pattern of innumerable other mass shooters who were on or had recently come off pharmaceutical drugs linked to aggression.

According to a CBS News report, earlier this year when cops searched Roof after he was acting suspiciously inside a Bath and Body Works store, they found “orange strips” that Roof told officers was suboxone, a narcotic that is used to treat opiate addiction.   Continue reading “Charleston Shooter Was on Drug Linked to Violent Outbursts”

Obama on Charleston: It’s too easy to get guns in AmericaYahoo News – by Oliver Knox

President Barack Obama on Thursday expressed profound “sadness and anger” at the Charleston church shooting as well as deeply personal frustration that America’s political climate makes it virtually impossible for now to tighten restrictions on who can buy firearms.

“We don’t have all the facts, but we do know that once again, innocent people were killed in part because someone who wanted to inflict harm had no trouble getting their hands on a gun,” Obama said in the White House briefing room, Vice President Joe Biden standing at his side.   Continue reading “Obama on Charleston: It’s too easy to get guns in America”

The U.S. House passed President Barack Obama’s fast-track trade bill, one of the president’s top second-term priorities, with mostly Republican votes a week after a Democratic rebellion almost killed the proposal.

The 218-208 House vote Thursday returns the measure to the Senate, which also voted for it last month. Obama wants the expedited trade negotiating authority to help his administration complete a 12-nation Trans-Pacific Partnership.   Continue reading “Obama’s Fast-Track Trade Bill Passes House in Second Attempt”

An arson attack on Thursday gutted part of a church at the traditional site of what Christianity reveres as Jesus’s miracle of the feeding of the 5,000 on the shore of the Sea of Galilee, the Israeli fire brigade said.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered Israel’s Shin Bet internal security service to launch a top-priority investigation, an official statement said, quoting him as describing the incident as “an attack on all of us”.   Continue reading “Arson attack guts part of Israel’s Church of Loaves and Fishes”

The media love the idea that the firearms market is in a state of collapse. This propaganda theme is being fed to them by Bloomberg-funded gun-ban groups, and by Bloomberg’s own propaganda arm, Bloomberg News, and, like any good propaganda campaign, it reinforces the presuppositions, biases, and slants of the intended targets (in this case, Acela Corridor newsmen) with a Narrative® that’s Too Good To Check™.   Continue reading “Colt’s Bankruptcy Isn’t Because Civilian Gun Sales Are Down”

BERKELEY, Calif. (AP) — The balcony collapse that killed six college students appears to have been caused by rotted wooden beams, Berkeley’s mayor said Wednesday as the victims’ heartbroken loved ones began arriving in the U.S. from Ireland.

Mayor Tom Bates said investigators believe the wood was not caulked and sealed properly at the time of construction and was damaged by moisture as a result. The crowded fifth-floor balcony broke off an apartment building during a 21st-birthday party early Tuesday held by visiting Irish college students, dumping 13 people 50 feet onto the pavement. In addition to the six killed, seven were seriously hurt.   Continue reading “Deadly balcony collapse tied to rotted wooden beams”

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Mother Nature isn’t the only one blamed for California’s drought.

The state’s historic four-year dry spell has brought with it a flurry of finger-pointing. Now advocates, noting how California’s water shortage ranks as the top public concern, are invoking the drought to bolster their own causes.   Continue reading “What’s blamed for California’s drought?

arrest warrantNatural News – by Ethan A. Huff

An elderly woman from the Central Texas city of Riesel, east of Waco, appears to have narrowly escaped being taken into custody by local police after a judge issued a warrant for her arrest. Her crime? Failing to appear before a court over her failure to mow her grass, which was in violation of a local city ordinance governing foliage height on private property.

Seventy-five-year-old Gerry Suttle says she never even received the notice that the city says it sent to her house prior to the arrest warrant being issued. The city claims it issued the notice and she failed to appear, so Suttle was quickly relegated to criminal status with a local police chief notifying her that he had a warrant out for her arrest.   Continue reading “Texas court issues arrest warrant for 75-year-old woman over lawn not being mowed”

More Hard Proof North Carolina Shark Attacks Are a HoaxNoDisInfo

What an arch-fake and supremely inane hoax it is, this totally contrived group of shark attacks on North Carolina beaches. How absolutely treacherous it is to fabricate such an issue, as real shark attacks are horrific beyond imagination. Yet, to fake it? Then, to solicit money based upon such a fake? Is that not the most corrupt act conceivable?

In a real shark attack the authorities do not take the issue likely. The beaches in the area will be closed. It is not a nonchalant issue, as is the case with the North Carolina fake, where the beaches remained fully open and no warnings of any kind were issued. Can anyone image the liability of doing so? By no means if this were real, that is if there were two potentially deadly attacks within a matter of days, would the beaches remain open either after the attack or in the short-term afterward. Yet, it is said via the Boston News Wire:   Continue reading “More Hard Proof North Carolina Shark Attacks Are a Hoax”

The court often sides with police, and frequently at the behest of the Obama Justice Dept. where police groups saw Mr. Holder as an ally.

AG Eric Holder’s Justice Department has supported police officers every time an excessive-force case has made its way to arguments. Even as it has opened more than 20 civil rights investigations into local law enforcement practices, the Justice Department has made it harder for people to sue the police and that gives officers more discretion about when to fire their guns.   Continue reading “Supreme Court often sides with police in misconduct cases, resulting in more police powers”

Update (7:20 AM): Mullen said investigators are going through all kinds of video, public and private, to try to get more information on the suspect’s whereabouts. Officers throughout the region are assisting in the search — City of Charleston, Charleston County, SLED and FBI were all mentioned.

Mullen noted that there are specific elements that classify a hate crime and could lead to federal prosecution. “There is no doubt in my mind that this is a hate crime,” Mullen said. The U.S. Attorney’s office will make ultimate decision as to whether this will be prosecuted as a hate crime.   Continue reading “Charleston, SC: 6 women, 3 men killed in shooting at Emanuel AME; authorities asking for help identifying suspect”
