Chicago Man Gets 8 Years for Facebook Live Abduction, Abuse of Disabled Teen
Jordan Hill, 20, was sentenced Thursday to eight years imprisonment after pleading guilty to aggravated kidnapping and a hate crime — bringing more closure to a disturbing Chicago ordeal that made national headlines after it was streamed live over Facebook.
WATCH: Armed Co-Worker Stops Vicious Attack on Female Restaurant Worker
Milwaukee police are seeking a male suspect who launched a vicious attack on a restaurant employee last week; the attack was thwarted when another employee pulled a gun.
TMJ4 reports that the incident occurred in a George Webb Restaurant on Milwaukee’s south side on June 29, but surveillance video of the incident was made public on July 6.
The video shows the suspect walk behind the counter and punch the restaurant’s female cook in the side of her face. She managed to stay on her feet after the punch and ran to a spot off camera. The suspect walked, as if pursuing her, but stopped when another female employee pulled a handgun and pointed it at him:
Milwaukee Alderman Bob Donovan commented on the video, saying, “It is sickening to see this unsuspecting worker assaulted so brutally by this individual. It was an unprovoked attack and I am asking anyone with information to please contact MPD immediately at 414-935-7360 so we can get him off the street and behind bars where he belongs.”
Donovan also explained that the female employee who pulled a gun has a concealed carry permit. He added, “One can only imagine what might have occurred if that employee had not pulled out her weapon.”
The woman who was attacked suffered serious injuries.

WINDOW INTO THE DEPRAVED GHETTO BLACK CULTURE of VIOLENCE, HATE AND RACISM
Right Cause, Wrong Target
A misguided protest in Chicago blames the city’s rampant violent crime on inadequate social spending.July 6, 2018

This
Saturday, preacher, social-justice activist, and local gadfly
Father Michael
Pfleger plans to lead a group of protesters to shut
down a portion of the busy
Dan Ryan Expressway on Chicago’s
South Side. The protest is a response to the
violent crime plaguing
the city’s South and West sides. It’s about time, right?
Well, yes
and no. Someone should be decrying Chicago’s ongoing carnage,
unemployment, and underfunded schools—is just another reprise
of the old
liberal notion that violent crime is driven by
socioeconomic “root causes.”
That argument reflects a serious
The
Windy City saw 437 murders in 2010, according to the Chicago Tribune. For the next five
years, murders fluctuated between 415 and 503; then 2016 saw a huge spike, to 792 murders, which edged
down in 2017 to 670 slayings. Over the same period,
according to the National Center for Education Statistics, per-pupil education
spending in Chicago increased and remained well above the national median.
Expenditures per pupil for Chicago public schools during the 2010 fiscal
year totaled $11,596 (16 percent higher than the U.S. median of $9,989 that
year). By the 2014-15 school year (the most recent year for
which data is available), that number was up to $13,784 (30 percent higher than
the 2015 U.S. median of $10,556 per pupil).
The
employment picture in Chicago, both generally and for blacks, who account for a
disproportionate share of the violent crime in Chicago’s troubled
neighborhoods, has likewise improved. As the Tribune reported in May, citing a University of Illinois
study, the “alarmingly high rate of young black men and women in Chicago who
are neither working nor in school dropped markedly between 2014 and 2016”—a
period during which murders in Chicago nearly doubled, going from 415 to 792.
The drop in unemployment among young black men was almost 20 percent.
Violent
crime is only loosely associated with socioeconomic factors like poverty,
employment, and education spending. In The Rise and Fall of
Violent Crime in America, criminologist Barry Latzer describes a
“divergence between socioeconomic disadvantage and crime,” as illustrated in
part by the fact that “violent crime . . . is not, by and large, motivated by economic
issues. Murder and assault are in the main precipitated by anger, sexual
jealousy, perceived insults.” The Tribune’s Dahleen Glanton echoed this point in a column penned during the city’s 2016 murder spike.
“There are impoverished communities in every city and town in America,” she
wrote, “but residents aren’t going around shooting each other to death at the
rate we are in Chicago.”
Pfleger’s
social-media posts blame the city’s crime problem on a lack of government
spending for jobs and education. The real problem is that Chicago consistently
fails to incapacitate its criminal class; when the cops catch a bad guy, the
city often lets him right out. For instance, on June 27, the Chicago Police
Department (CPD) arrested Cortez Byrd, a felon, for, among other things,
unlawfully using a weapon. But a look into the city’s arrest database shows
that Byrd, just 19, was arrested a year earlier for aggravated unlawful use of
a loaded firearm. On the same date, the CPD arrested Joseph Ryan on a gun
charge. Ryan’s record shows six prior arrests, on charges ranging from
possession of a stolen vehicle and drugs to property destruction and being a
fugitive from justice. In April, the CPD posted photos on Facebook of drugs and
several firearms (including a sub-machine gun) recovered during the arrest of
Kendrell McCurry. Twelve days later, McCurry was arrested for dealing cannabis;
he was arrested yet again two weeks afterward on the same charge. McCurry’s CPD
record shows seven arrests since 2014—two for gun possession.
Spending
more money on social programs won’t affect the crime rate when offenders get second, third, and fourth chances. If Pfleger and his
band of protesters are serious about addressing the senseless shootings
claiming so many lives in Chicago, they should indeed demand more
accountability—not from Chicago’s social-welfare bureaucracy, but from the
city’s criminal class.
College
Destruction of Black Students
https://townhall.com/columnists/walterewilliams/2018/07/04/college-destruction-of-black-students-n2496493
Amy Wax,
a University of Pennsylvania law professor, has come under attack and scathing
criticism because she dared criticize the school's racial preferences program.
In an interview with Brown University economist Glenn Loury, discussing
affirmative action, Wax mentioned how racial preferences hinder the ability of blacks
to succeed academically by admitting them into schools at which they are in
over their heads academically. At UPenn's seventh-ranked law school, Wax said,
she doesn't think that she has ever seen a black law student graduate in the
top quarter of his class, and "rarely" is a black student in the top
half.
That got
her into deep trouble. UPenn students and faculty members charged her with
racism. UPenn Law School Dean Ted Ruger stripped Wax of her duty of teaching
her mandatory first-year class on civil procedures. I'm guessing that UPenn's
law faculty members know Wax's statement is true but think it was something
best left unsaid in today's racially charged climate. Ruger might have refuted
Wax's claim. He surely has access to student records. He might have listed the
number of black law students who were valedictorians and graduated in the top
10 percent of their class. He rightfully chose not to -- so as to not provide
evidence for Wax's claim.
One study
suggests that Wax is absolutely right about academic mismatch. In the early
1990s, the Law School Admission Council collected 27,000 law student records,
representing nearly 90 percent of accredited law schools. The study found that
after the first year, 51 percent of black law students ranked in the bottom
tenth of their class, compared with 5 percent of white students. Two-thirds of
black students were in the bottom fifth of their class. Only 10 percent of
blacks were in the top half of their class. Twenty-two percent of black
students in the LSAC database hadn't passed the bar exam after five attempts,
compared with 3 percent of white test takers.
The
University of Pennsylvania controversy highlights something very important to
black people and the nation. The K-12 education that most blacks receive is
grossly fraudulent. Most predominately black schools are costly yet grossly
inferior to predominately white schools and are in cities where blacks hold
considerable political power, such as Baltimore, Detroit, Chicago and
Philadelphia. In these and other cities, it's not uncommon for there to be high
schools where less than 17 percent of the students test proficient in reading,
and often not a single student in such schools tests proficient in math.
Nonetheless, many receive high school diplomas.
It's
inconceivable that college administrators are unaware that they are admitting
students who are ill-prepared and have difficulty performing at the college
level. There's no way that four or five years of college can repair the
academic damage done to black students throughout their 13 years of primary and
secondary education. Partial proof is black student performance at the
postgraduate level, such as in law school. Their disadvantage is exaggerated
when they are admitted to prestigious Ivy League law schools. It's as if you
asked a trainer to teach you how to box and the first fight he got you was with
Anthony Joshua or Floyd Mayweather. You might have the potential to ultimately
be a good boxer, but you're going to get your brains beaten out before you
learn how to bob and weave.
The fact
that black students have low class rankings at such high-powered law schools as
UPenn doesn't mean that they are stupid or uneducable. It means that they've
been admitted to schools where they are in over their heads. To admit these
students makes white liberals feel better about themselves. It also helps
support the jobs of black and white university personnel in charge of diversity
and inclusion. The question for black people is whether we can afford to have the
best of our youngsters demeaned, degraded and possibly destroyed to make white
liberals feel better about themselves. You might ask, "Williams, without
affirmative action, what would the University of Pennsylvania Law School do
about diversity and inclusion?" I'd say that's UPenn's problem.

OBAMA: FUNDED BY HIS CRONY CRIMINAL BANKSTERS and ELECTED
BY MEXICO – THE FIRST BLACK MAN OR THE FIRST SPY ELECTED TO THE
PRESIDENCY???
http://mexicanoccupation.blogspot.com/2018/05/matthew-vadum-spies-like-obama.html
Now the outlines
of a Watergate-like conspiracy are emerging in which a sitting Democrat
president apparently used the apparatus of the state to spy on a Republican
presidential candidate. Watergate differed in that President Nixon didn’t get
involved in the plot against the Democratic National Committee until later as
an accomplice after the fact. Here Obama likely masterminded or oversaw someone
like the diabolical Benghazi cover-up artist Ben Rhodes, masterminding the
whole thing.
"Cold War historian Paul Kengor
goes deeply into Obama's communist background
in an article in American Spectator, "Our First Red Diaper Baby
President," and in an excellent Mark Levin interview.
Another Kengor article describes the
Chicago communists whose younger generation include David Axelrod, Valerie
Jarrett, and Barack Hussein Obama. Add the openly Marxist,
pro-communist Ayers,
and you have many of the key players who put Obama into power." Karin McQuillan

AMNESTY
WOULD DOUBLE U.S. POPULATION, POVERTY, HOUSING AND HOMELESS CRISIS
http://mexicanoccupation.blogspot.com/2010/03/heritage-foundation-amnesty-would-add.html
"Critics argue
that giving amnesty to 12 to 30 million illegal aliens in the U.S. would have
an immediate negative impact on America’s working and middle class — specifically
black Americans and the white working class — who would be in direct
competition for blue-collar jobs with the largely low-skilled illegal alien
population." JOHN BINDER
"Additionally,
under current legal immigration laws, if given amnesty, the illegal alien
population would be allowed to bring an unlimited number of their foreign relatives
to the U.S. This population could boost already high legal immigration levels
to an unprecedented high. An amnesty for illegal aliens would also likely
triple the number of border-crossings at the U.S.-Mexico border." JOHN
BINDER
“At the current rate of invasion
(mostly through Mexico, but also through Canada) the United States will be
completely over run with illegal aliens by the year 2025. I’m not talking about
legal immigrants who follow US law to become citizens. In less than 20 years,
if we do not stop the invasion, ILLEGAL aliens and their offspring will be the
dominant population in the United States”…. Tom Barrett
Chicago Man Gets 8 Years for Facebook Live Abduction, Abuse of Disabled Teen
Jordan Hill, 20, was sentenced Thursday to eight years imprisonment after pleading guilty to aggravated kidnapping and a hate crime — bringing more closure to a disturbing Chicago ordeal that made national headlines after it was streamed live over Facebook.
The Chicago Tribune described him as the “alleged ringleader” of a group that abducted and tortured a mentally disabled teenager in a “racially charged” crime in early January of 2017.
Hill and three other individuals were charged over the shocking video: Tesfaye Cooper (who is only indicted, not convicted of any crime) and sisters Brittany (20) and Tanishia Covington (25). Their victim is an unnamed white male with schizophrenia and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder who was 18 at the time of the abduction and torture.
The video shows the purported perps making statements including “f*ck Donald Trump” and “f*ck white people” while streaming live video on Facebook. The abuse included binding, gagging, beating, and cutting their victim.
Brittany Covington was sentenced to four years of probation and banned from using social media last December. She was later taken back into custody in April after seemingly violating the conditions of her probation by accessing Facebook.
Tanishia Covington was sentenced to three years imprisonment after pleading guilty in April. She was paroled last week.
According to the Tribune, Cooper’s lawyer “indicated in court Thursday his client is considering a plea deal as well.”
Judge William Hooks offered comments on the racial dimension of the crime prior to sentencing Hill. The Tribune writes that the judge, who is black, castigated Hill for dishonoring the work of civil rights icons:
“I surmise you believe you have some pride in being an African-American, is that fair to say?” Hooks asked Hill from the bench.“I’m proud to be black,” Hill answered quietly.Hooks, who is African-American, then pointed out the portraits of civil rights heroes including Ida B. Wells and Frederick Douglass, displayed in his courtroom in the Leighton Criminal Court Building. Hill admitted he did not know any of their identities.“Every time you take an act like this particular terrible act against this young man who couldn’t defend himself, you spit on the graves of all these folks that surround you in this courtroom,” the judge said.
