-Lurid Crime Tales-
Two nursing home administrators are charged with criminal neglect after more than 75 veterans died of COVID-19 when sick and healthy residents were housed together
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Former superintendent Bennett Walsh, 50, and ex medical director Dr David Clinton, 71, were indicted by a grand jury on Thursday

  • The two are charged over their handling of a coronavirus outbreak at Holyoke Soldiers' Home in Massachusetts

  • Charges stem from their decision in March to combine two understaffed dementia units, packing sick and non-sick residents together, prosecutors said

  • Since March 1, 76 veterans who contracted COVID-19 at the home have died

#3  Absolutely not. Former superintendent Bennett Walsh, 50, and ex medical director Dr David Clinton, 71 clearly knew these Vets were going to die. Making this a clear case of 1st degree murder. Just like Cuomo and Minnesota Dicktatter Walz.

Minnesota nursing homes, already the site of 81% of COVID-19 deaths, continue taking in infected patients- Nursing homes accepting infected patients, even as death toll mounts.

But I guarantee someone was giving out and or making a boatload of money. recallwalz.org sign the petition, forward to your neighbors and families.

#6  Asshole governor Charlie Baker bears ultimate responsibility for this one. I trust Messr's Clinton & Walsh saved all their e-mails (i.e., the orders to do this came from somewhere higher up, like Baker).

That said, let the scapegoating commence!

Father who shielded his three children from a gunman who opened fire at a New York City car dealership loses two jobs because he can't walk due to his injuries
  • [Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] Anthony Jefferson , 39, has lost his two jobs after being shot in the thigh while protecting his children

  • Anthony was fired because he cannot walk due to his injuries

  • Photos showed a bullet hole in the shoes he was wearing during the shooting

  • The three children have been 'traumatized' by the incident and the family hopes to connect them with a therapist

  • The shooting took place Monday night at On The Road Automotive in the Bronx

  • Video obtained by DailyMail.com showed the dad and his children sitting on a couch when a man in a black hoodie began firing through an open glass door

  • The family dove to the floor as the dad tried to shield the kids from gunfire

  • The dad was struck in the thigh by a bullet and is in stable, pH balanced condition

  • Police are searching for two suspects and believe the shooting was gang-related
Sounds like he should justly be coming into quite a bit of money soon, from at least three directions.

After Years Of Campaigning By Women's Rights Activists, Britain's Law Commission Is Moving To Make Misogyny A Hate Crime
Based on all this, only straight white men will receive no protection under the law.
[news.trust.org] Misogyny should be made a hate crime in England and Wales, the independent body that recommends legal change said on Wednesday, as it launched a consultation on updating hate crime laws.

The Law Commission said the proposal would give women specific protection from crimes such as assault and harassment where they were targeted on the basis of their sex.

Women's rights activists have long called for such protections, which already exist for race, religion, sexual orientation, disability and transgender identity and can lead to harsher penalties for those convicted.

"Misogyny is the soil which violence against women and girls grows in and this is our chance to tackle it," said opposition lawmaker Stella Creasy, who has campaigned for the change.

They have only one target in mind.

Europe
Military plane carrying 27 crashes in Ukraine, killing most on board
[France24] A military transport plane carrying air force cadets crashed and burst into flames near a highway in northeastern Ukraine on Friday evening, killing at least 22 people on board, officials said.

The Antonov An-26 aircraft crashed while trying to land during a training exercise, the General Staff of the Armed Forces Ruslan Khomchak said in a statement, adding that at least two more people were critically injured.

Video posted by Deputy Interior Minister Anton Gerashchenko on Facebook showed the plane in flames lying near a road and smoke billowing upwards in the night sky.

Footage taken later showed rescue workers inspecting the smoking wreckage near the town of Chuhuiv.

An investigation has started on what caused the crash.

One pilot reported failure in the left engine of the twin-engined plane, said Oleksiy Kucher, the governor of the Kharkiv region, according to Interfax Ukraine, adding this would not have been a critical situation for an experienced pilot.

John Legend Sez He'll Leave The US If Trump's Re-Elected
If he does (which I doubt), he'd be the first one.
[Zero Hedge] - Singer John Legend (real name John Roger Stephens) says that Americans might "have to start thinking about going somewhere else" if President Trump is reelected.

Legend joins a long tradition of Hollywood liberals who vow to leave the country over President Trump but then don't.

"At some point, if that project [to destroy democracy] was to be in any way successful, you’d have to think about going somewhere that is a true democracy, that has respect for the rule of law and human rights," Legend virtue signaled in an interview this week with Cosmopolitan UK.
What an ignorant little piece of shit...

Female drill instructors are heading to all-male Marines boot camp in San Diego as the service moves to make entry-level training coed a 'top priority'
[MAIL] Female drill instructors may start training recruits at the Marine Corps' historically all-male recruit depot in San Diego, part of a year-long congressional mandate requiring entry-level training to be coed for the Marines.

Commandant Gen. David Berger made the announcement on Thursday during an event hosted by Defense One, Military.com reports.

'All of our female drill instructors are on the East Coast,' he said. '... We're going to run a couple trials this wintertime actually moving drill instructors from South Carolina to San Diego [on temporary duty] and train recruits on the West Coast to see how this is going to work.'

Female drill instructors train at the Marine Corps' East Coast schoolhouse, eventually leading recruits at Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island, South Carolina.

And, when she thought we are not paying her proper attention, shouted "You don't give a damn!". Except the corresponding Hebrew expression translates, literally, as "you don't put a dick". There being 90+ reservists, half a dozen immediately replied - speaking almost in unison - "Excuse me miss, what's my dick doing in your mouth?". She run away crying. All kinds of brass came to scream & threaten us - like what're they going to do, put us all in jail and recruit another reserve unit for the planned operational deployment?

entitled "NBA Players Wear Special Lace Collars To Honor Ruth Bader Ginsburg" and treated it like real news.

In fairness to Robin, she's an innocent young naif of 55 (Born May 17, 1965) and the daughter of "feminist icon" (who i never heard of until now) Letty Cottin Pogrebin, which must be where she gets her brains.
