-Lurid Crime Tales-
Armed Black Panthers to Texas Cops: '€˜We Will Start Creeping Up on You in the Darkness'
[Breitbart] HOUSTON, Texas -- Armed Black Panther members marched in front of the Waller County jail and shouted, "You're gonna stop doing what you're doing, or we will start creeping up on you in the darkness."

The statement was made just two weeks prior to the assassination of a Harris County deputy sheriff.

Shannon Miles, a black male, allegedly came "creeping up" behind Harris County Deputy Darren Goforth in the darkness on the night of August 28. While Goforth stood at a convenience store pumping gas into his patrol vehicle, Miles allegedly raised a pistol and shot him dead.

The comments, made by a leader of the Houston-based chapter of the New Black Panther Party, were captured on a short video clip (below) from the scene by the Houston Chronicle. The writers from the Chronicle made no mention of the threat in their article published that same day.

#1  So black militants have declared war on the police. This won't end well. For any of us.

#3  And then cops, who are not robots, will start shooting first and asking questions later---it will be proof positive of racism.

#4  Or they go the other way, refuse to police those areas, and the black criminals will overrun and further destroy black communities.

And then maybe Blacks will take responsibility for their sick culture and weed out the bad elements.

Nah, who am I kidding.

#6  It's the Baltimore Model. It is also a desired outcome by many folks currently in power. Lots of opportunities in such chaos.

#7  This is definitely domestic terrorism and conspiracy to do so. All these idiots need to be rounded up and thrown in prison. Personally I would prefer them put against a wall and shot but 20-life for domestic terrorism would do.

#8  I think this whole thing is like a chess game. Obama has always wanted an excuse to take over. The polls of police departments indicated that they are unwilling to kick in doors in their communities to advance his agenda. If the police are chased off the streets by the blacks Obama will make the case that he is justified in declaring Martial Law and bring in soldiers to do his dirtywork.

#9  Send a few cops out to shady areas covered by snipers with night vision scopes. See if anyone creeps and then hit them with a floodlight (and bullets if appropriate).

#11  The problem with letting genies out of the bottle, you just never know what the unintended consequences will be. Things didn't go well for Khadafi. Maybe this is why Obama is taking survival training with Bear Grylls.

#12  survival training with Bear Grylls

In camouflaged cabin sans permit
Who cries and smokes collie
All day on Denali;
Employ local guide and confirm it."

Bangladesh
Wanted mugger killed in DB gunfight
[Dhaka Tribune] A wanted criminal known Jira Suman was killed in a shootout with police detectives in Comilla Adarsha Sadar upazila in the early hours of yesterday morning.

Detectives also jugged
Drop the rosco, Muggsy, or you're one with the ages!
four of Suman's accomplices -- Jamal, Shahid, Swapan and Zakir -- and recovered arms and ammo from the scene.

Addressing a press briefing at his office yesterday, Additional Superintendent of Police Ali Ashraf said he along with a team of detectives was on his way back to the city from a raid when Suman and his group shot up the detectives' vehicle near Palpara Bridge on Comilla-Burichong road, aiming to rob them.

When the detectives retaliated, Suman got shot and was badly injured. He was taken to Comilla Medical College Hospital where the doctors pronounced him dead.
He's dead, Jim!

Suman has been on the wanted list of Comilla police for a long time. There are 22 cases of mugging, robbery and other criminal acts filed against him with several cop shoppes in Comilla city.

China-Japan-Koreas
Chinese warships spotted off the coast of Alaska
President Obama isn't the only one making a visit to Alaska this week, according to a new report from Pentagon officials. The U.S. military has spotted five Chinese navy ships off the coast of Alaska in the Bering Sea, heading in the direction of the Aleutian Islands. The presence of the Chinese ships, including three combat ships, a replenishment vessel, and an amphibious ship, marks the first time that the U.S. military has reported seeing "any such activity in the area," The Wall Street Journal reports.

Although China's defense ministry could not be reached by the Journal for comment, the presence of Chinese warships close to U.S. territory is likely connected to China's efforts to ramp up its military activity as its economic power expands. "I don't think we'd characterize anything they're doing as threatening," one defense official told The Wall Street Journal.

Other officials theorized that the ships' presence could be due to China's growing interest in using the Northern Sea Route to transport goods, since that route between Asia and the West can be up to several days faster than the Suez Canal route. "It's difficult to tell exactly, but it indicates some interest in the Arctic region," one Pentagon official said. "It's different."
The, er, "interesting players" in the world know that the U.S. will be under the thumb of Ocluster for another 16 months and will make the most of it. This will not be a fun ride.

#1  IMO this is another pro-PLA, Chinese-led "show of strength" designed to occur in parallel wid its
military parade, wid message meant for the Bammer, Russia, + espec Japan.

Again, China ideally desires Japan + other US East Asia allies to give the US up + be on its side - the best thing Anti-US US OWG Globalist POTUS Obama = US can do ala China is to
NOT live up to its Security Treaty obligations to protect US Allies in the aftermath of any serious, de facto Chinese military escalation or attack.

Bammer + Globies aside, CHINA ideally would like to deter or avoid any direct US Military intervention ASAP AMAP ALAP - it may be able to do this by asymmetrically ocusing its efforts, actions + decisions agz US East Asia allies proper, NOT agz the US per se. LIMITED BUT DECISIVE WAR AGZ ONE OR MORE US ALLIES, NOT AGZ THE US, THUS SATISFYING US OWG GLOBALISTS.

CHINA STILL GETS ITS DESIRED 1/2 OF THE PACIFIC, THE OWG GLOBIES STILL GET THEIR OWG-NWO INTACT WID ITS STILL "WEAK/DECLINING" USA.
Posted by: JosephMendiola || 09/03/2015 2:31 Comments || Top||

#2  Something nobody questions is how did China find out the POTUS schedule. How did they know he would be in Alaska then? Ships just don't appear - it took days if not a week to get up there and at least several weeks to plan and gather/load-out supplies for the trip.

This was a practice run for a "BG" deployment. The amphib is filling in for the carrier until its ready.

I bet they also had something underwater with their group.

#4  Yosemite Sam----It was known that the President was to visit Alaska over a month ago. The jet with the White House Advance Team (WHAT) was seen in Kotzebue on July 17, a C-40 (737-700). They checked out Kivalina and Kotzebue for the President's visit. There were announcements in early August. PLA probably read the emails, too.

#5  See also TOPIX, WORLD NEWS > IS WAGING/FIGHTING WAR WID A WEAK COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF WORTH THE RISK?

HHHMMMMM, HHHMMMMM, I would say it would depend on a how far the "Weak/Declining" USA, wid its US-N-Only-The-US, Unilateral or Self "Retreat/
Fallback is OWG + World Peace" Anti-US US OWG Globalist POTUS Obama WANTS TO RETREAT OR FALL BACK IN THE WORLD?

To go from being a post-Cold War, post-9-11, World-dominating Sole Superpower to being a One-of-Many-OWG-Co-Superpowers, + somehow to also deter or avoid being EXISTENTIALLY THREATENED IN THE PROCESS???

VERSUS

* FREEREPUBLIC > [Political Insider = WND] FORMER CIA OFFICER [Claire Lopez] JUST EXPOSED OBAMA ...
... OUR WORST FEARS ARE TRUE.

* WORLD NEWS > ISIS MASTERMIND: "ISLAM IS COMING".

The Islamist-Jihadist Caliphate is here, NOW-N-FOREVER; + the ISIS can't + won't be defeated by the US-Allies.

India-Pakistan
Female school teacher kidnapped, killed in Karachi
[DAWN] KARACHI: A female school teacher was kidnapped Wednesday morning from her school in PIB Colony and later in the day found murdered in Bloody Karachi
...formerly the capital of Pakistain, now merely its most important port and financial center. It is among the largest cities in the world, with a population of 18 million, most of whom hate each other and many of whom are armed and dangerous...
's Korangi Industrial Area, said police.

The dead body of the school teacher, identified as Quratul Ain, 26, was found with her hands and legs tied in an abandoned area in Allahwala Town of Korangi, said Landhi SP Afnan Amin.

She was "taken away" from a school in PIB Colony Wednesday morning and was found murdered in the afternoon.

The Landhi SP said Sherlocks have found "significant clues" about the identity and motive of the suspects, adding that some of them were tossed into the calaboose for questioning.

The dead body was shifted to Jinnah Post-Graduate Medical Centre where the cause of death will be determined after chemical examination, said Dr. Seemin Jamali, head of the hospital's emergency department.

Dr. Jamali said there were bruises on the dear departed's body.

Gulshan SP Abid Qaimkhani said the family of the dear departed had filed a report at the PIB cop shoppe saying their daughter was missing since 7:30 am on Wednesday from a private school in PIB Colony.

The police officer said CCTV footage from the school showed that another girl, identified as Aliya, arrived at the school in the morning along with her friend, Rubab, and a man identified as Baqar.

SP Qaimkhani said the three of them took Quratul Ain to a 'rest house' near the Saudi Consulate in Defence.

CCTV footage from the area showed Aliya, along with Quratul Ain and a man, stepping out of a car and going inside the rest house. Subsquently, Rubab is seen leaving the place in the same car, said SP Qaimkhani.

Later in the day, Quratul Ain's dead body was found in Korangi, with her hands and legs tied.

The Gulshan SP said police have detained Aliya and a man named Hassan, who he claimed was the victim's fiancé.

"Initial probe suggests the girl, Aliya, hatched a plan to kill Quratul Ain to marry Hassan, her boyfriend," opined the Gulshan SP.

Investigators at this point believe Aliya sought Rubab's help in persuading the dear departed school teacher to go out along with the group. Rubab, they say, was also Quratul Ain's friend.

SP Qaimkhani said Aliya had "taken away the victim promising to remove some 'misunderstanding' between Quratul Ain and Hassan (her fiancé). Officials added that Hassan introduced himself as a social activist but said his activities had been "dubious" which is why he had been taken into custody for questioning.

SP Qaimkhani said police have also set up another investigation team to probe those who were present in the Defence rest house to ascertain whether the victim was "tortured and killed" there before being dumped in Korangi.
