-Lurid Crime Tales-
First class arrogance! New Orleans' Democrat mayor says flying economy is UNSAFE for black women, as she refuses to repay $30,000 of taxpayer cash she splurged on luxury flights to Europe
  • Mayor of New Orleans, LaToya Cantrell,
    …one of the Soros mayors, crowned the worst mayor in America by The Spectator after she refused to guarantee the security of next year’s Mardi Gras. Despite all that, she was re-elected with 65% of the vote in her last election …
    is refusing to repay money spent on international business and first-class flights to France and Switzerland

  • Cantrell explained her purchase was a 'safety issue' rather than one of comfort

  • She has also justified the extravagant expense because they were business trips

  • Yet her entourage was fine sitting in economy class seats including her security

  • The mayor also upgrades to the front even on domestic flights within the U.S.

  • She now owes $30,000 in upgrade expenses alone as the city's travel policy states, 'Employees are required to purchase the lowest airfare available… '

  • Any upgrades incurred should be paid for out of employees' own pockets

Government Corruption
Dupe entry: Jan. 6 Prisoners And Families Expose Brutal Truth About Jail Lockdown
Posted by: Skidmark || 09/11/2022 10:04 || Comments || Link || [5 views] Top|| File under: Tin Hat Dictators, Presidents for Life, & Kleptocrats


Jan. 6 Prisoners And Families Expose Brutal Truth About Jail Lockdown
Much more at the link, all of it infuriating. And all of it permitted by the published results of the last election.
[ZeroHedge] It began without warning. A Jan. 6 prisoner had emerged from his cell without a mask. When it was all over, the jail was in lockdown and several inmates had been pepper sprayed, handcuffed, and thrown into solitary confinement. Inmate tablets were quickly confiscated, but not before several prisoners had time to send text messages, exposing the brutal truth of what happened. Many of those messages were obtained by The Epoch Times. In exclusive interviews with The Epoch Times, the family members of several Jan. 6 prisoners share their stories.

‘[EXPLETIVE] JUST WENT DOWN’
According to the text message sent by one Jan. 6 prisoner to a family member, “[Expletive] just went down” at the Correctional Treatment Facility in Washington, D.C., around 9:46 a.m. on Sept. 5. One of the guards had just “assaulted McAbee because he wasn’t wearing a mask.”

The prisoner’s name is Ronald Colton McAbee. His wife, Sarah, described to The Epoch Times what happened.

McAbee had just been let out of his cell by a pod officer in order to receive his medications. Inmates, Sarah explained, have to take their meds in front of the nurse to prove they swallowed the pills. The med cart was about 25 feet from the door of McAbee’s cell. When he walked out of the cell to go get his meds, he was not wearing his mask. Lieutenant Crystal Lancaster began yelling at him and ordering him to put his mask on. He said he was going to get his medication and didn’t need his mask. It was after McAbee had taken his medication it is alleged that Lancaster doused his face with OC spray.

While pepper spray and OC spray are essentially comprised of the same ingredients, the higher concentration of Oleoresin Capsicum (OC) is what sets them far apart. A March 1994 report (pdf) issued by the United States Department of Justice acknowledged the more potent and potentially lethal properties of OC Spray when used outside of recommended guidelines or on someone with pre-existing respiratory conditions, such as asthma.

With McAbee on the ground in pain, Lancaster ordered the pod officer to handcuff him. As McAbee was being handcuffed, Lancaster sprayed him again, point blank, in the face.

Sarah’s account is validated by the texts sent by other Jan. 6 prisoners to their family members.

By now, Sarah said other Jan. 6 prisoners had emerged from their cells. Three of them, Ron Sandlin, Bart Shively, and Ryan Nichols, began yelling at Lancaster, telling her to stop her assault on McAbee. Sandlin was then handcuffed. He and McAbee were taken away to solitary confinement. Shively and Nichols were also sprayed, cuffed, and placed in isolation pods. According to Sarah, there are no cameras in the isolation pod area.

“It’s very concerning because the guards can come in and do whatever they like to these people with no accountability,” she said.

Messages sent by two more Jan. 6 prisoner provides corroboration and more detail.

A HISTORY OF ABUSE AND SUB-HUMAN CONDITIONS
Sarah then recalled that the facility has a long history of sub-human conditions. She also noted that Lancaster, notorious among Jan. 6 prisoners and their family members for being particularly vulgar and brutal, had been banned from the Jan. 6 pod for verbal abuse and for stealing the inmates’ mail.

“I don’t know if that ban was lifted or why she was in that pod,” she said.

Her account was again validated independently by the messages from other Jan. 6 prisoners.
