[AUDACY] A Monroe County judge said it was one of the worst cases he's ever seen during sentencing of a man found guilty of murdering and beheading his grandmother. Bastard. I had a grandmother too.
Kenny Wayne McBride of Temperance, MI will spend the rest of his life behind bars after the jury delivered a guilty verdict on Thursday after just two hours of deliberation.
He was sentenced to life without parole on a first-degree murder charge, as well as 114-480 months in prison for the disinterment and mutilation of a dead body.
On February 16, 2020, 79-year-old Cecilia Gibson was brutally beaten and beheaded in her Temperance home. She had been living with her son, Kenneth Reece, the defendant’s father.
McBride, who had previously been estranged from his father, had been staying in the Monroe County home for several weeks.
When Reece returned home from work early that February morning, he discovered a body and a significant amount of blood in the living room, and called the police.
Police later learned that Gibson had been beaten to death with a ceramic piggy bank and metal baby gate, and discovered her severed head thrown into the yard.
McBride had been home at the time of the murder, but said he was unaware of what happened. He claimed during the trial that his grandmother could have been killed by someone to whom he owed money, but DNA, cell phone records and fingerprint evidence pointed to McBride.
Billy Jo Gibson, another one of the victim’s sons, spoke during the sentencing.
"This is a shock to us all. This is devastating. She was my mother and grandparent to my daughter. She was in bad health, but it was unnecessary what happened to her," Gibson said. "Even though capital punishment is not accepted in Michigan, I expect him to spend the rest of his life hopefully suffering like the rest of us have."
38th Circuit Court Judge Michael A. Weiper also addressed the courtroom during the sentencing, saying that case has caused the jury to learn that "pure evil" exists in the this world.

You are mine now, and for evermore Kenny Wayne McBride....
Mooooo Haaaa Haaaaaa Haa Haaaaaaaaa!
In cases of well documented hideous murder with ZERO doubt as to the murderer. Why don't we have a death mandatory Death Sentence to carried in the same manner their murderer did theirs?
[REUTERS] The United States on Friday charged a North Carolina man who claimed to have a bomb in his truck near the U.S. Capitol the day before, leading to a five-hour standoff with law enforcement.Floyd Ray Roseberry was charged with threatening to use a weapon of mass destruction and attempting to use an bomb.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Zia Faruqui ordered a mental competency evaluation for Roseberry after he said he could not understand the proceedings against him because he had not been able to take his medications for blood pressure and his "mind."
"My memory isn't that well, sir," Roseberry said, adding that his wife has power of attorney over his medical issues and he did not know the names of his medications.
Roseberry, 51, spread alarm at the Capitol and prompted the evacuation of nearby government buildings on Thursday. He live-streamed threats on Facebook about having a possible bomb while holding what appeared to be a metal cannister on his lap.
"The revolution's on, it's here," Roseberry said in the video. "I'm ready to die for the cause."
Facebook later suspended his account and removed the video.
Roseberry surrendered to law enforcement without incident, and police said they found possible bomb-making materials but no bombs inside a truck.
A law enforcement official said there was no evidence so far suggesting anyone else was involved in or conspired with Roseberry in staging Thursday's incident.
During Friday's virtual hearing, Faruqui appointed Roseberry a federal defender, and Roseberry told him: "I'm willing to do whatever you ask."
In a sworn statement, an FBI ...Formerly one of the world's premier criminal investigation organizations, something for a nation to be proud of. Now it's a political arm of the Deep State oligarchy that is willing to trump up charges, suppress evidence, or take out insurance policies come election time... agent said that a local law enforcement official in Cleveland, kept in touch with the world by Obamaphone, ...was ruled by a Democrat machine from 1942 through 1971. After the river caught fire during the administration of Carl Stokes they tried a Republican, then went back to being Democrats when the party hacked up Dennis Kucinich ... County, North Carolina contacted the bureau on Aug. 18 to warn about Roseberry. A relative called with concerns that Roseberry had "expressed anti-government views and an intent to travel to Virginia or Washington, D.C. to conduct acts of violence."
Crystal Roseberry, the man's ex-wife, told Rooters in an interview on Thursday she had divorced him more than eight years ago, saying he made violent mostly peaceful threats against her and had multiple mental illnesses.
[NEWSBUSTERS.ORG] As we approach the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks it is interesting to look back and see how American culture has changed in that two-decade time span. Back then mainstream culture (sorta) rallied around God and country against our enemy, the Taliban ...Arabic for students... and Al Qaeda. Today the culture sees those same people that believe in God and country as bad or worse than the Taliban. My, how things change. Maybe we need a "file under" heading for "Stupid."
In yet another example of how our society has gone off the deep end, Hollywood actor and Star Trek: Voyager star Tim Russ Who?
smeared religious Americans in a highly disgusting manner. The elitist snob actually tweeted how Americans that believe in God are "as fanatical" as the Taliban. Um, come again, Mr. Russ? You do know that religious Americans believe in religious freedom for all, right, whereas the Taliban just enslave, maim and/or kill whoever disagrees with their religious tenets. As a practicing Agnostic, I fall under the heading of "Non-religious Americans." Oh, how I've suffered at the hands of the Talibanistic religious folks who... ummm... haven't done anything to me. As a Christian, I am not above saying, "Go fuck yourself!"
After the horribly botched departure of American forces from Afghanistan which started last weekend, Russ took one look at the bloodthirsty Taliban forces, our Middle Eastern enemy for the last 20 years, and thought, "you know, there’s no difference between that and the little old church lady who smiles at me and says, ’God Bless you.’" Us agnostics don't do that. We just say "Have a nice day." Or we don't. That's how you can tell from those fanatical religious folk. What about the southern admonishment, "Bless your heart"?
Russ wrote, "The Taliban are as fanatical about their beliefs and culture as the millions of people right here in the U.S. who believe in religion, conspiracy theories, and alternate reality." Ahem, Mr. Russ, your bigotry is showing. So is your abject stupidity. So file under "Stupid" and forget about it. He's a dipshit. What'd you expect from an actor?

The patients we are seeing in North Texas hospitals that end up hospitalized for respiratory support due to Covid19 Pneumonia are unvaccinated. Oddly enough, they are almost all between 20's and 50's. The 65+ crowd that showed in large numbers last year (and died) aren't in this wave. Seems Texas vaccinated nearly all the 60+ folks. Source: I work in utilization management for a large insurance company so we get all the hospitalization authorization requests, and that's my region. The numbers aren't as bad as last year, but they have definitely jumped, but not among the vaccinated.
People, get your shots if not otherwise contraindicated. You're taking a massive unnecessary risk of serious illness if you do not. The numbers do not lie.

And don't believe the hype on masks. If its not an N-95 type mask/respirator, then its just decoration! Especially useless are all the neck gaiters and fancy designed cloth masks. Get the vax, it works well enough to either prevent getting infected or else reduce the severity if you do get a variant. Masks do not.
#5
Well what did they expect?
The media made front page news of every adverse side effect or allergic reaction
Which was their perverse Trump bashing and now they are making every breakthrough case headlines without mentioning what this doctor is saying. The vaccine reduces COVID to Avery bad head cold
They want to lake the adverse side effects and breakthrough infection Trump’s fast tracking of the vaccine and portray all of the unvaccinated as ignorant knuckle dragging Trump supporters
But yet they appear dismayed by people refusing the vaccine?
#6
Our local news has interviewed the CMO of both of our regional hospitals. Unvaxxed make up a large percentage of those hospitalized. Multiple under 30 deaths from Covid
#7
Looks like about 11% of the hospitalizations are of vaccinated patients compared with about 33% of the population so on the grossest level vaccination reduces risk of hospitalization by about 2/3. Pretty significant but by no means perfect.
#8
New? User Maggie Stalin3718 shows up claiming access to secret data. These data contradict generally accepted facts (people under 40 with no comorbidities have low risk of COVID hospitalization) but corroborates a story from a compromised source (MSM). Anyone buying this?
[NYPOST] A COVID-19 outbreak has infected every member of a southwest Illinois police department, the town’s mayor said. I hope they gave it to every member of the local criminal element.
All three cops and the chief of police in Venice, a town of 2,100 outside St. Louis, have contracted the bug, forcing the department to shut down as they complete mandatory 10-day quarantines, Mayor Tyrone Echols told the Belleville News-Democrat Thursday.
"I think it’s everybody except for possibly two dispatchers," Echols said of the department’s impacted employees, including Police Chief Theo Adams.
"He sounded pretty rough," Echols said of the town’s top cop.
Venice will be patrolled by Illinois State Police and other law enforcement agencies throughout Madison County until its officers return to duty.
"I want everyone to know we are covered," Echols told the newspaper, adding that the department had at least eight cops at one point, but they "come and go" in search of better pay, leaving the agency short-staffed amid the ongoing pandemic.
The officers and Adams started getting sick late last week, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported.

If you live near the Atlanic /Gulf coast, at some point you're going to have a tropical storm /hurricane.
If you live near water, at some point that water's going to come up. Can't ever happen, always does.

Real shame if it were to hit Cape Cod, just sayin'.
Despite the dramatic headline, Joe Bastardi is the real deal when it comes to weather forecasting.
tl;dr: Normally, New England is where storms go to die, but this time, the water temps off the coast are high which means the storm will spin up like one entering the Gulf of Mexico

Looks like the Obama's caught a lucky break. Their mansion is sitting 9-10 feet above sea level, located on a south facing bay on Martha's Vineyard. Could easily be wiped out from the storm surge - worst possible location.

I have come to believe when this man says lookout, we should listen.

I have the highest respect for Joe Bastardi - His background, experience and conservative prognostications are the generally 90 to 95 % correct (after all the data is analyzed by his peers - after the fact)
I have posted this for the sceptics; hopefully you are not living in the path of this storm.
In my view, as a former "spear point' analyst for the US Government for 25 years, take all precautions indicated for HENRI; You ARE living in a physical terrane, which magnifies the intensity of storms, CAT 1 impact is 2.0 - 3 effect, streams turn into rivers, valleys turn into fiords, rivers 2x their boundaries...why.... because you terrain is hilly to mountainous; no place to dissipate the raw energy of nature, that comes down upon you.
Please heed the warnings and directions of the State Governors and your State SEMAs.
May God be with you all, may you and your families be preserved...Amen

Thank you Steve, very concise analysis, straight and direct. = I wish I could write that way - Really, Much Obliged... Monday, in NJ-NY and NE does not look good.

If approved does that mean they can be sued?
Which also allow discovery leading to accurate numbers of adverse reactions vs. the "reported" numbers.

Stages of Vaccine Development and Testing
In the United States, vaccine development and testing follow a standard set of steps. The first stages are exploratory in nature. Regulation and oversight increase as the candidate vaccine makes its way through the process.
First Steps: Laboratory and Animal Studies
Exploratory Stage
This stage involves basic laboratory research and often lasts 2-4 years. Federally funded academic and governmental scientists identify natural or synthetic antigens that might help prevent or treat a disease. These antigens could include virus-like particles, weakened viruses or bacteria, weakened bacterial toxins, or other substances derived from pathogens.
Pre-Clinical Stage
Pre-clinical studies use tissue-culture or cell-culture systems and animal testing to assess the safety of the candidate vaccine and its immunogenicity, or ability to provoke an immune response. Animal subjects may include mice and monkeys. These studies give researchers an idea of the cellular responses they might expect in humans. They may also suggest a safe starting dose for the next phase of research as well as a safe method of administering the vaccine.
Researchers may adapt the candidate vaccine during the pre-clinical state to try to make it more effective. They may also do challenge studies with the animals, meaning that they vaccinate the animals and then try to infect them with the target pathogen.
Many candidate vaccines never progress beyond this stage because they fail to produce the desired immune response. The pre-clinical stages often lasts 1-2 years and usually involves researchers in private industry.
IND Application
A sponsor, usually a private company, submits an application for an Investigational New Drug (IND) to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The sponsor describes the manufacturing and testing processes, summarizes the laboratory reports, and describes the proposed study. An institutional review board, representing an institution where the clinical trial will be conducted, must approve the clinical protocol. The FDA has 30 days to approve the application.

You wouldn't want to be eating a smores made over the flames of one of these. Never use a cooking fire where you need a respirator when you put it out.
Does anybody else thing maybe GM should have been let die 20 years ago?

A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
