Forty-six people were shot Friday into Monday morning of Labor Day weekend in Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s (D) Chicago.

Seven of the 46 shooting victims succumbed to their wounds.

Breitbart News reported that 17 people were shot, four of them fatally, Friday into Sunday morning alone.

ABC 7 / Chicago Sun-Times noted three additional shooting fatalities, the first of which occurred Saturday night at 11:15 p.m., when a 29-year-old man was shot and killed “in the 6600-block of South Evans Avenue” following an argument.

Minutes later, police responded to the sound of gunshots “in the Old Town neighborhood’s 1300-block of North Hudson Avenue,” where they found a 31-year-old man with a gunshot wound to his chest. He was transported to a hospital, where he died.

A man was arrested and charged with the murder of a mother who was leaving one of her jobs at an IHOP in New York City.

The tragic incident occurred on Thursday around 5:00 a.m. as Clarkson Wilson, 44, allegedly gunned down mother, Imani Armstrong, 25, on East 14th Street and Irving Place in the Gramercy Park neighborhood in Manhattan.

Police say Wilson snuck up to Armstrong as she exited the IHOP and walked down East 14th, where the 25-year-old woman was shot in the head at close range.

While the motivation for the shooting has not been officially determined, investigators believe it is the result of a domestic dispute, the New York Daily News reported.

Wilson, who is of Brooklyn, is believed to have fathered one of Armstrong’s children, according to those who knew Armstrong, the New York Post reported.

The 25-year-old was reportedly the mother of three children and had another job as an exotic dancer.

On Saturday morning, police zeroed in on Wilson as the alleged perpetrator. He was taken into custody in Manhattan and charged with murder.

The 44-year-old man was also seen acting bizarrely in the neighborhood, including even “scaring” people approximately two weeks before the shooting.

According to local news outlets, Wilson has an extensive criminal history with multiple arrests dating back to 2000, when he was charged with attempted robbery.

In 2014, Wilson’s then-wife told police that he strangled her and stole her phone, the Post reported.

His most recent reported arrested occurred in 2021 for also strangling an unidentified individual, according to police via the Daily News.

Violent crime in New York City is up by 35.6 percent in all major categories since this time last year, according to New York Police Department crime data. Documented murders are the only major crime category that has decreased since this time last year, but only by approximately 10.5 percent.

While homicides have dropped in the city, Armstrong’s death in the NYPD’s 13th precinct was the second homicide to have been reported this year in the precinct after another one occurred the day before in the Chelsea neighborhood, the Daily News noted.

The Big Apple’s recent crime wave is making residents nervous about their safety, as 76 percent fear they could be the victim of a violent crime, according to a June poll.

Man Charged in Abduction of Teacher as Police Continue Searching for Her

A suspect was charged on Sunday in the abduction of Memphis, Tennessee, teacher Eliza Fletcher who disappeared Friday.

Officials charged 38-year-old Cleotha Abston with especially aggravated kidnapping and tampering with evidence after he was located inside the black SUV connected to the case, the New York Post reported.

Fletcher, a 34-year-old mother of two children, was enjoying her morning jog when she was pushed into a dark-colored GMC Terrain.

Her grandfather previously started a $3 billion hardware business called Orgill Inc. and the family was offering a $50,000 reward to anyone with information that could bring her home.

Authorities with Memphis police have continued looking for the woman.

The suspect apparently pled guilty to crimes in 2000, Fox 13’s investigative reporter Dakarai Turner reported Sunday morning.

“Online records show Cleotha Abston plead guilty to one count each of especially aggravated kidnapping and aggravated robbery in 2000. He was sentence to 24 years in prison, making him eligible for release sometime within the last 6-12 months,” he wrote:

Meanwhile, another man not currently believed to have a connection to the recent incident also faced charges, the Post article said.

“Mario Abston, 36, was charged with possession of a controlled substance with intent to manufacture and sell fentanyl, possession of a controlled substance with intent to manufacture and sell heroin, and convicted felon in possession of a firearm during the commission of a dangerous felony,” the outlet said, adding the suspects were booked into the Shelby County Jail.

DNA collected from shoes at the scene identified Cleotha Abston as a suspect, according to reporter Bria Jones who added the man’s brother told investigators he acted “strange.”

“He was seen washing his clothes in the sink & cleaning the interior of his GMC Terrain,” Jones wrote in a social media post:

Fletcher’s uncle, Mike Keeney, said the family believes someone out there has more information regarding the case that could assist investigators:

“More than anything we want to see Liza returned home safely. The family has offered a reward for any information that leads to her safe return. We believe someone knows what happened and can help,” he told listeners.

Seventeen people were shot, four of them fatally, Friday into Sunday morning in Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s (D) Chicago.

NBC 5 reports the weekend’s first fatal shooting occurred at 6:30 p.m. Friday, when a 24-year-old man was shot multiple times while standing on the sidewalk “in the 4400 block of West Jackson.” He died at the scene.

The weekend’s second fatal shooting occurred just after midnight Saturday, when a 31-year-old man was shot in the chest “in the 1300 block of North Hudson.” He was taken to a hospital, where he died.

ABC 7 / Chicago Sun-Times notes the weekend’s third shooting fatality was discovered at 3 a.m. Saturday, when a 22-year-old with multiple gunshot wounds was found “in the 6000 block of South Racine Avenue.” He was taken to a hospital where he was pronounced dead.

A 28-year-old man was shot and fatally wounded at 3:50 p.m. Saturday, following an argument at a gas station near “the 700 block of East 103rd Street.”

The 28-year-old was taken to a hospital, where he died.

On September 1, 2022, WTTW reported 448 people had been killed in Chicago this year. Sixty-six people were killed in Chicago during August alone.

Missing Teacher Eliza Fletcher’s Alleged Kidnapper Left His Sandals Behind

A STRING OF CLUES

Suspect Cleotha Abston is in custody, but Fletcher is still missing.

Memphis Police/Sheby County Jail

Listen to article3 minutes

A 38-year-old man who spent much of his life in prison was charged with kidnapping teacher Eliza Fletcher—after his sandals, with his DNA, were found at the scene of the violent abduction, Memphis Police said.

Fletcher, 34, a married mom of two boys whose grandfather was a wealthy philanthropist and business magnate, was still missing as suspect Cleotha “Pookie” Abston was held in jail ahead of a Tuesday arraignment.

A police affidavit laid out how investigators identified Abston as a suspect in Friday’s kidnapping, which was caught on surveillance video—and a pair of Champion slides played a major part.

According to the document, just before 7 a.m. on Friday, a passerby found Fletcher’s cellphone and the sandals on the street where the prekindergarten teacher was jogging when she was forced into a black GMC Terrain.

Forensic investigators matched DNA on the slides to Abston, 38, and then detectives found surveillance video that showed he was wearing the Champions a day before the kidnapping.

The owner of the cleaning service where Abston worked gave detectives his phone number, and police were able to use pings to place the phone at the kidnapping scene, the affidavit says.

When police showed up to arrest Abston, the GMC Terrain with a tell-tale broken taillight was parked at the home. He tried to flee but was taken into custody.

Investigators learned that Abston had been seen at his brother Mario’s home after the abduction, and police say that Mario told them he saw Cleotha cleaning the inside of the Terrain, washing his clothes, and “acting very strange.”

Cleotha Abston “declined to provide investigators with the location of the victim,” the affidavit says.

While it appears Mario Abston was helpful to police, he was also arrested, though not in connection with the abduction. Instead, he was charged with possession of fentanyl and heroin and with having a gun as a felon.

It appears that Cleotha Abston has a lengthy criminal history that began when he was a teenager.

According to the Memphis Flyer, in 2001, he pleaded guilty to kidnapping a local attorney and forcing him to withdraw money from an ATM; he was sentenced to 20 years in prison. State prison records show he was released in 2020.

“Eliza Fletcher has not been located at this time. MPD Investigators and officers, along with our local and federal partners, continue searching for Mrs. Fletcher,” Memphis cops said.

Fletcher graduated from the Hutchinson School in Memphis in 2006 and got a teaching degree from Belmont University. She has been married for eight years.

Her family has offered a $50,000 reward for her safe return. Fletcher’s late grandfather was co-owner Orgill, the hardware supply giant started by his family that racks up $3 billion in sales a year.







Another BLM leader accused of fraud

The New York Post reported that Black Lives Matter leader, Shalomyah Bowers, purportedly siphoned more than $10 million of donors' money.

A lawsuit, filed in Los Angeles Superior Court claims Bowers treated BLM foundation funds as his “personal piggy bank” and acted as a “rogue administrator” and a “middle man turned usurper.”

Bowers, who became head of the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation in April, is accused of paying millions to his own Bowers Consulting Firm and diverting resources from a new group called Black Lives Matter Grassroots, Inc.

BLM Grassroots was founded in California in May by Walter Mosley, the lawyer who also drafted the lawsuit against Bowers

BLM Global Network Foundation paid the Bowers Consulting Firm $2,167,894 in 2021, per federal tax filings.

The lawsuit also claims that while BLM activists were on the street risking their lives, Bowers was in his cushy offices devising schemes of fraud and misrepresentation which broke the implied-in-fact contract between donors and BLM. 

While Bowers is claiming innocence, it would not be surprising if he did indeed profit from BLM. Despite their claims, BLM seems to me founded for solely pecuniary gains.

BLM is a perfect instance of how modern liberalism functions as an extremely lucrative business model.  BLM merely expanded on the extortion business model of veteran race hustler Al Sharpton, which is ‘give us your money else we’ll brand you racist,’ but did it on a much larger scale.  Al Sharpton must feel like a worn-out pair of shoes in the bottom drawer of a shoe case.

(Image by Betty Martin from Pixabay via Courthouse News)

Black Lives Matter” began as a trend on social media, in 2013 following Trayvon Martin's death. Soon it evolved into a slogan used by ‘protestors’ across the US.

In the death of George Floyd in 2020, BLM saw their biggest opportunity to take the ‘movement’ to the next level and become the sole arbiters in matters of race.  In parallel, BLM carried out 'protests', which were actually riots all over America.

Dozens of people were killed and numerous others injured and thousands of businesses and propertiesmany minority-owned, were looted, torched, or otherwise vandalized. 

Axios revealed that the total insured property losses incurred during the riots are between $1 to $2 billion dollars. The actual number including losses of uninsured property must be considerably higher.

That must not have mattered to BLM.  For BLM, the riots were a promotional event that caused their coffers to be overflowing.

BLM was supported by the Democrats and their propagandists in the media because they could blame the riots on Trump and benefit from it politically. The Democrats, too, saw this as an opportunity to raise funds.

The noise created such a frenzy that anybody who was anybody began donating to BLM

Hollywood stars such as Angelina Jolie, Steve Carell, Seth Rogen, Kate Beckinsale, Jennifer Lopez, Ryan Reynolds, etc. donated to BLM.

Some stars even bailed out BLM rioters who were taken into custody.

Big tech firms such as Google committed $12 million. Facebook and Amazon donated $10 million. Apple pledged $100 million, and so did Walmart. Target pledged $10 million while Home Depot announced  $1 million.

BLM didn’t make any verifiable promises; their goal was unstated, esoteric, and symbolic which ensured they could keep collecting without any oversight.

Rich donors didn't verify how their donations were spent. Their sole purpose of donating was to be regarded as among 'the good ones'. It was also like protection money to prevent BLM thugs from banging at their doors.

In the end, BLM managed to make $90m in just one year over the death of George Floyd.

Such was their brand recognition that BLM even began to sell merchandise. Those who couldn’t donate millions would parade around in BLM T-Shirts to prove their virtuousness.

So, what became of the money?

Last April, the NY Post reported that BLM co-founder Patrisse Cullors, then BLM's executive director, spent $3.2 million on various real estate properties across the US.

There were also reports of transactions where BLM transferred money to a Canadian nonprofit managed by the wife of Cullors in order to buy a $3 million house

New York Magazine reported that in late 2020, BLM spent $6 million on a 6,500-square-feet Southern California mansion.

Although the property had originally been bought for $3.1million, it was transferred to the Delaware company for $5.8million. The reason for the disparity between these two figures is perfectly obvious.

Like most modern left-wingers, BLM claimed its mission is dismantling capitalism. But again, like most modern leftists, they have no qualms about enjoying the luxuries of free market capitalism.

Despite claiming to be a Marxist organization, BLM dodged its taxes.  It failed to file taxes for 2020 when it raised millions after George Floyd’s death. It also didn’t disclose its donations and expenditures, raising legal and ethical red flags.

The millions raised could have been invested in education,  training, hospitals, gyms, sports complexes, rehabilitation centers or to pay legal assistance for those in need.

But nothing of the kind occurred because the sole focus of BLM founders appears to be themselves.  BLM, despite their questionable use of donors’ money, will never face much antipathy from the public.  There are those who are still mortified to call them out publicly for the fear of being branded, racist.  There are some who are truly gullible who think the intentions of BLM are noble and the allegations are a result of White Supremacists' fabrications

So, what is BLM's Legacy?

Beyond abusing donated funds and causing destruction worth billions, the BLM movement has done great damage to the fabric of the nation.

They have diminished the significance of the terms such as ‘racist’. No longer is the allegation taken seriously; the beneficiaries of this are real racists such as Joe Biden.

Also, BLM via their propaganda must have convinced a section of African Americans that their country is systemically racist, hence persecution is inevitable irrespective of education or talent or hard work. Losses can be recouped and property can be rebuilt but the destruction of hope is usually permanent.

It breeds cynicism and pessimism that always has a deleterious effect on society.

All those who supported BLM perhaps out of fear are also to blame for this.

In the end, Shalomyah Bowers may well be just another parasite feeding off the gravy train, there will doubtlessly be more, and worse they are unlikely to be punished.

Dr. Williams comments on another reality: that the rate of black homicide and armed robbery as well as other violent crimes are as is as much as 15–30 times more than whites

So, we have local black gang associates posting terror threats on social media -- threats of murder, by burning, directed at the women and children family members of white police employees -- immediately before the murder, by burning, of the white teenage daughter of a local police department employee. Plus, the killing took place only minutes after the victim was seen on video at the same location as the husband or boyfriend of the person who posted the threats, as he was filling a handheld can with gasoline.

BLACK MEN ARE 15xs TO 30xs TIMES MORE LIKELY TO PERPETRATE VIOLENCE!

During the summer of 2020, BLM and Antifa wrought violence and did billions of dollars in damage across America.  The Democrat left supported those riots and raised money to bail out the perpetrators no matter what they had done.  Our media, of course, supported the rioters too; they love nothing better than exacerbating an already-explosive situation.  The media do not investigate the obvious possibility that the rioters were recruited and paid to do what they do.  Ask one of them why they are rioting and you will get a blank look.  They may be doing it for a paycheck, not principles or ideology.  

How You Get the Left to Talk Honestly About Black Crime

A disturbing look at the FBI’s data on race and animal-cruelty offenses.

https://mexicanoccupation.blogspot.com/2022/06/americas-black-crime-tidal-wave-how-you.html

 

But due to a ton of negative black disparities showing up in the data, the mainstream media pursues a policy of silence on the issue, turning it as a result into a taboo topic.

These figures are even more glaring when one considers pet-ownership rates. If blacks owned pets at rates double their own population, their cruelty offense-rates would be less of a concern. But this is not the case. White ownership rates have been shown to be double, even triple, that of blacks, meaning the latter’s propensity for animal cruelty is actually far higher than what’s showing in the FBI’s figures.

As for interracial violence generally, blacks disproportionately commit it. Between 2012 and 2015, there were 631,830 violent interracial victimizations, excluding homicide, between blacks

and whites, according to the Bureau of Justice Statistics. Blacks, who make up 13 percent of the U.S. population, committed 85.5 percent of those victimizations, or 540,360 felonious assaults on 

whites, while whites, 61 percent of the population, committed 14.4 percent, or 91,470 felonious assaults on blacks. Regarding threats to blacks from the police, a police officer is 18.5 times more likely to be killed by a black male than an unarmed black male is to be killed by a police officer.

https://www.city-journal.org/jazmine-barnes-murder?utm_source=City+Journal+Update&utm_campaign=acbb7c6b94-

Anti-cop activist Shaun King says that his involvement in the campaign around the Jazmine Barnes murder was not driven by reports that a white man had killed the seven-year-old girl, who was gunned down in Houston on December 30. According to Barnes’s mother and 15-year-old sister, the white driver of a pickup truck had pulled up next to the family’s car before opening fire. The accusation set off a frenzy of hate-crime allegations and blanket coverage by the New York Times. King offered a $100,000 reward to anyone who located the suspect. 

As it turned out, Jazmine Barnes was killed by two black men, who opened fire on her mother’s car because they thought that they were targeting enemies of their gang. King passed along a tip about the real killers to the Houston police, and now says that he merely “internalized the pain of the family and tried to search as if it were my own child who was killed.” Race, in other words, had nothing to do with his activism. 

It’s worth remembering, though, the many other black children who have been victims of drive-by shootings without leading King to launch a national crusade.

A sampling: in March 2015, a six-year-old boy was killed in a drive-by shooting on West Florissant Avenue in St. Louis, as Black Lives Matter protesters were converging on the Ferguson, Missouri, Police Department to demand the resignation of the entire department. In August 2015, a nine-year-old girl was killed by a bullet from a drive-by shooting in Ferguson while doing her homework in her bedroom, blocks from the Black Lives Matter rioting thoroughfare. Five children were shot in Cleveland over the 2015 Fourth of July weekend. A seven-year-old boy was killed in Chicago that same weekend by a bullet intended for his father. In Cincinnati, in July 2015, a four-year-old girl was shot in the head and a six-year-old girl was left paralyzed and partially blind from two separate drive-by shootings. In Cleveland, three children five and younger were killed in September 2015, leading the black police chief to break down in tears and ask why the community only protests shootings of blacks when the perpetrator is a cop. In November 2015, a nine-year-old in Chicago was lured into an alley and killed by his father’s gang enemies; the father refused to cooperate with the police. All told, ten children under the age of ten were killed in Baltimore in 2015; twelve victims were between the age of ten and seventeen. 

In 2016, a three-year-old girl in Baltimore was partially paralyzed by a drive-by shooting. In Chicago in 2016, two dozen children under the age of 12 were shot in drive-bys, including a three-year-old boy mowed down on Father’s Day 2016 who is now paralyzed for life and a ten-year-old boy shot in August; his pancreas, intestines, kidney, and spleen were torn apart. A Jacksonville 22-month-old was shot to death by a passing car last June. In September, three men killed three-year-old Azalya Anderson in a drive-by in Sacramento, and a week before Christmas in Bridgeport, a 12-year-old boy was shot and killed on his way home from the candy store in a drive-by shooting.

Why did King let these shootings of black children go by without responding as he did to Jazmine Barnes’s murder? Could it be because the perpetrators were black? You could end all white shootings of black children tomorrow and it would have zero effect on the death rate of black children by homicide, because such white-on-black shootings are extremely rare. Moral abominations, like the 2015 Charleston church massacre by white supremacist Dylann Roof, are aberrations that belong to the outermost lunatic fringe of American society. The country’s revulsion at the Charleston carnage was immediate and universal, resulting in a movement to banish the Confederate flag, embraced by Roof as a white supremacist symbol, from official sites. 

If Shaun King and other Black Lives Matter activists really want to save black children from the trauma of urban violence, they should put their efforts into rebuilding inner-city culture—above all, by revalorizing a married father as the best gift a mother can give her child. Fantasies about white violence against “black bodies” are a distraction from what is actually happening on American streets.

Walter Williams tackles the elephant in the room on crime

 

By John Dale Dunn

 

Dr. Williams is a well known conservative economist and longtime John Olin Chair faculty at George Mason University in eastern Virginia, author of 12 books and syndicated columnist.  In the past, he has been substitute host on the Rush Limbaugh radio program.  He is almost like family to me, and I have benefited from his essays and books over the years.  This past week, I saw and read his essay on disparities in crime rates among races that was picked up by Military in its October 2019 issue.  What got Dr. Williams going was the article by  Matthew DeLisi of Iowa State U and John Paul Wright of the U of Cincinnati titled "What Criminologists Don't Say and Why."

Dr. Williams confirms that the writers are right about the liberal tilt of criminologists — "If criminologists have the guts to even talk about a race-crime connection, it's behind closed doors and in guarded language.  Any discussion about race and crime ... can mean the end of one's professional career."  

Dr. Williams points out teen black-on-white predatory behavior — chronicled in detail by many, particularly Colin Flaherty, whose investigative reports appear frequently (more than 100) at American Thinker — cannot be reported, mentioned, or considered by the media, politicians,  criminologists, commentators, politicians, even law enforcement people without risking being called racist, the easy epithet used to enforce a ban on talking about the realities of racial disparities in crime and the increasingly violent nature of black violence against whites — the knockout game, polar bear hunting, flash mob violence against people and property.

Referencing the Wright and DeLisi report, Dr. Williams comments on another reality: that the rate of black homicide and armed robbery as well as other violent crimes are as is as much as 15–30 times more than whites, for example, and he points out the silliness of criminologists' claims that mass incarceration rather than criminality has decimated the black community.  He favorably quotes Wright and DeLisi when they say, "What they [criminals] did, in reality was to prey on their neighbors."

Dr. Williams returns to a theme he has explored many times before in this essay and commentary when he points out that the black family of the past was two parents and stable, even back to days of slavery, and that the black community was moral and law-abiding.  "The strong character of black people is responsible for the great progress made from emancipation to today. ... [T]oday's conduct among black youth wouldn't have been tolerated yesteryear."

My regret is there aren't enough Walter Williams and Thomas Sowell types to engage the nutty attitudes of liberal chatterbox experts.

Deputies: Man accused of killing partner, stepson; raping young woman in Lake County

“It appears the first victim, who he refers to as his wife, his significant other, there was an argument and somehow it turned into something violent and that’s when he killed her with what is described as a mini sledgehammer,” said Lt. Fred Jones with the Lake County Sheriff’s Office.

Then when her 17-year-old son, Ty Finister, found out his mother had been murdered, deputies said he returned to the Thousand Trails Resort on Wednesday where he was held down and also beaten to death with a hammer.

“Brutal” and “bloody” are the words deputies used to describe what they saw at the Thousand Trails Resort when they arrived.

“You know in 25 years of doing this right here, this is probably one of the worst,” Lt. Fred Jones said.

Deputies said the young woman who survived tried to stop Jones from killing Finister. But investigators said Jones tied her up, put tape over her mouth and eyes and then raped her for what deputies believe could have been several hours before she was able to escape.

Jones was later spotted in a Publix parking lot off Highway 27 about 10 miles from the resort. Deputies said he tried to run but was quickly captured by investigators.

Deputies said Jones confessed to the crimes.

Kamala-Backed Bail Fund Puts Murderer on the Street

Vice president called for donations to Minnesota Freedom Fund amid George Floyd riots

 • August 29, 2022 6:10 pm

A Minnesota bail fund championed by Vice President Kamala Harris helped free a repeat felon now charged with murder.

The Minnesota Freedom Fund on Thursday acknowledged it helped secure the release of Shawn Michael Tillman, who in May shot and killed a passenger on a rail platform in St. Paul. Harris promoted the Freedom Fund on Twitter during the George Floyd riots in 2020, helping the group raise $35 million in a matter of weeks, according to the Washington Post.

Freedom Fund executive directors Mirella Ceja-Orozco and Elizer Darris defended the group's decision to post Tillman's bail in a statement Thursday, saying, "It is neither just nor effective to respond to violence by denying bail and preemptively punishing people who are disproportionately poor, Black, brown, and Indigenous."

Tillman's criminal record includes multiple counts of indecent exposure, as well as assault and unlawful possession of a firearm, court records show. He is now in custody with bail set at $2 million.

When reached for comment, the Freedom Fund directed the Washington Free Beacon to its statement.

Tillman's most recent felony conviction was in November 2018 for indecent exposure in the presence of a minor. He had seven prior counts of indecent exposure at the time. Ceja-Orozco and Darris said convictions play into their decision to fund those charged with crimes. They did not list any of Tillman's past convictions.

Tillman is not the first person to commit murder after being bailed out by the Freedom Fund. The group helped free a man charged with domestic abuse last year. Weeks later, he murdered another man in a road rage incident, the Free Beacon reported.

The group also shelled out $75,000 in cash to release Jaleel Stallings, who was charged in May 2020 with attempted murder after shooting at police during the Floyd riots.

Minneapolis saw the highest number of homicides last year since the mid-1990s.

After thief shoots Commanders running back, mayor blames 'wanton use of a firearm'

Washington Commanders rookie Brian Robinson was shot on Sunday while on the streets of Washington, D.C.

Two men attempted to rob the running back after he left a store on H Street, though police have not yet said whether the men were attempting to carjack Robinson’s vehicle, ESPN reported. While Robinson was struggling with one of the assailants, the other shot him in the leg. Both men then fled the scene. While Robinson remains in the hospital, his injuries are not life-threatening, multiple sources reported.

"Surgery went well! Thanks for the prayers! God is great!" Robinson wrote on Instagram.

Carjackings in the district have skyrocketed under Mayor Muriel Bowser (D.), who in 2020 publicly sided with Black Lives Matter protesters. Bowser in March said a carjacker who murdered a doctor "probably didn't intend to kill anybody." According to a February Washington Post poll, 73 percent of D.C. voters say Bowser has done a poor job of combating crime.

Bowser on Monday blamed the use of a gun for the shooting of Robinson, the Post reported.

"What we saw in this case and others is just a wanton use of a firearm that hurts somebody," the mayor said.

The news comes days after Bowser faced pushback for banning unvaccinated children from attending school. The mayor's ban will likely hurt the district's black students, nearly half of whom are unvaccinated, the Washington Free Beacon reported.

Landlord Problems: Illinois Dem Pays Thousands in Rent to Cocaine-Pushing Butcher

Rep. Danny K. Davis rents his Chicago office from a convicted drug pusher

Rep. Danny K. Davis (D., Ill.) rents his district office from a convicted cocaine dealer who was once affiliated with a Chicago drug ring, according to documents obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.

Since January 2017, Davis's campaign account has cut regular $600 checks for "office rent" to Mario's Butcher Shop, FEC records show. The shop, which is registered as a corporation with the state, lists Mariano "Mario" Lettieri and his wife as the sole members of its board of directors and was at the center of Lettieri's 1990 conviction for drug trafficking.

Lettieri, whom the Chicago Tribune described as "reputedly tied" to a "crime syndicate," was sentenced to nearly 16 years in prison after authorities identified him as the primary supplier of cocaine to a major Chicago drug ring led by an ex-cop. The Drug Enforcement Administration reported that Lettieri trafficked as much as 80 pounds of cocaine over a six-month period. Lettieri also allowed heroin to be packaged in his butcher shop's boiler room and used "rib-eye steaks" as a code word when discussing drug prices.

Lettieri is an odd landlord for Davis, who has long championed efforts to fight drug abuse. Davis in 2006 called for $4 million in emergency aid funds to be allocated to Cook County to address the growing heroin problem in the area. Last year, Davis announced that he had formed a coalition of drug prevention organizations in Chicago to help address the growing opioid crisis. He told the local press that "there is no part of Chicago that is worse hit than the West Side." The West Side of Chicago is where Lettieri ran his drug operation in the 1980s.

Tumia Romero, Davis's chief of staff, would not directly address the congressman's payments to Lettieri but told the Free Beacon that Davis believes in giving people "second chances."

Davis is no stranger to controversy. In 2005, he took a trip to Sri Lanka funded by the Tamil Tigers, an ethnic terrorist group from that country. He is a close ally of noted anti-Semite and Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan and once participated in a religious ceremony with Sun Myung Moon, the leader of the controversial Unification Church. Moon, who died in 2012, was a convicted felon who said Jews deserved the Holocaust.

The congressman also attended the 2012 dedication of the Church of Scientology's Washington, D.C., lobbying office.

Davis, who faced a tough primary challenge this cycle, was boosted by an endorsement from President Joe Biden. The longtime congressman won his primary by single digits and is now expected to coast to reelection in November.

Reached for comment, a Mario's Butcher Shop employee said he would relay the Free Beacon‘s inquiry to the establishment's owner.

Oakland Police Chief Decries ‘Horrific’ Shootings After 5 Killed in 3 Days

Oakland Police Department Chief LeRonne Armstrong has decried what he calls a “horrific” series of shootings in the city after five people were murder in three days, bringing the total number of homicides this year to 83, near last year’s pace.

The San Francisco Chronicle reported Monday:

Each day’s incidents were believed to be unrelated to one another but have raised tensions in the city.

Last year at this time, Oakland had 84 homicides on its way to its highest homicide toll in more than a decade at 123.

The deadly shootings started Friday evening at about 7:30 p.m. in the 2800 block of Martin Luther King Jr. Way in West Oakland when police found two men had been shot and another riding a bicycle had been struck by a car, possibly fleeing the scene, and killed.

The article listed the names of those killed: Capri Anderson, 22; Maurice Wilson; Devin Woodfox, 36; Tyrod Banks, 46; and Tonnell Williams, 48.

As Breitbart News reported, Chief Armstrong was outspoken last year in his criticism of the “defund the police” movement when the Oakland City Council cut $18 million from the police department budget and redirected it to other priorities.

President Joe Biden campaigned on “redirecting” police funding, while later claiming he campaigned on funding the police.

WATCH: Good Samaritan Snatches Gun From Attacker in Upper Manhattan

Two people on a motorcycle attacked a pedestrian in Manhattan Saturday afternoon when a Good Samaritan grabbed their gun.

He was hit in the head for his trouble, but chased them on foot anyway as they took off on the motorcycle, The New York Post reports.

At least one of the individuals on the motorcycle was allegedly armed.

The pedestrian, a 28-year-old, was cornered by the suspects when the Good Samaritan ran up to take away the alleged robbers’ gun.

One of the suspects on the motorcycle punched the Good Samaritan, but he stayed in the fight, took the gun, and chased the suspects on foot as they fled on the motorcycle.

On July 17 Breitbart News reported that leftists went apoplectic because so many people were referring to a concealed carrier as a Good Samaritan after he opened fire on a would-be mass shooter at Greenwood Park Mall and stopped the attack.

For example, David Leavitt tweeted, “You’d never need a ‘Good Samaritan’ with a gun at Greenwood Park Mall or at any other place if there weren’t any guns to begin with.”
