Police: NYC Career Criminal Arrested for Stabbing Spree that Left 2 Dead, Including Pediatrician
A career criminal was arrested Christmas Eve after he allegedly went on a stabbing spree that resulted in two people killed, including a pediatrician.
Roland Codrington, 35, was charged with two counts of murder, two counts of attempted murder, one count of second-degree assault, and one count of criminal mischief, according to the New York City Police Department (NYPD).
At an NYPD press conference Monday, officials explained that Codrington’s alleged crime spree began on December 19 when he fatally stabbed James Cunningham, 51, in the neck. The victim’s body was found at around 1:00 a.m. on Avenue A near East 13th Street.
Cunningham and Codrington were involved in a confrontation before the victim was killed, according to NYPD Chief of Detectives James Essig.
“There’s no prior interactions. They bump into each other. They have a 20-second, caught-on-camera dispute,” Essig told reporters at a Monday briefing. “Our perpetrator just takes out a knife and slashes across the neck, and then leaves.”
On December 22 at around 11:30 p.m., Codrington was involved in a second incident where he allegedly entered Teddy’s Bar, located at 2171 Second Avenue in East Harlem, with a pit bull and baseball bat.
“He proceeded to go behind the bar, where he assaulted the bartender and destroyed property. When two customers intervened, they were both stabbed with a large knife that the male was carrying,” Essig told reporters. All victims from the second incident suffered non-life-threatening injuries.
The suspect was allegedly upset from a previous incident where he was kicked out of the same bar the week prior.
Following the events at the bar, Codrington took a walk to “cool off” in Harlem’s Marcus Garvey Park, where he then confronted pediatrician Dr. Bruce Maurice Henry, 60. The two had a verbal exchange before Codrington allegedly slashed the doctor in the throat, ultimately killing him.
Police found Henry’s body at around 2:15 a.m. on December 23.
Investigators connected the three incidents together and zeroed in on Codrington as the suspect.
Codrington was arrested on Christmas Eve after he was caught allegedly driving the stolen blue Mercedes of the slain doctor at Jerome Avenue and 166th Street in the Bronx. He was taken into custody without a struggle.
Police are now investigating whether Codrington may be connected to any other unprovoked stabbings in the city.
Codrington has an extensive criminal history, where he has been arrested 12 times since 2006. His most recent run-in with cops was a vehicle-related arrest in 2022, according to Essig. He also has several other arrests for assault with a weapon, knife possession, gun possession, assault, knife robbery, and knife assault.
Law enforcement sources told the New York Post Cordington might have as many as 20 arrests, with some of them being sealed.
Major crime in the Big Apple has increased by over 22 percent since last year, with felony assaults up by 12.6 percent, according to NYPD crime statistics. While murder is down, fatal stabbings have increased 37 percent this year, the Daily Mail reported.

BLACKS ARE THE MOST VIOLENT SUBCULTURE N THE WORLD!
80-year-old California store owner who shot robber dies
NORCO, Calif. (AP) — An 80-year-old Southern California liquor store owner who opened fire with a shotgun and wounded a would-be armed robber this summer has died, the store reported Tuesday.
Craig Cope died Tuesday morning, and a memorial at Norco Market & Liquor will be held at a later date, according to a Facebook post. It didn’t mention a cause of death.
Cope was alone at the counter shortly before 3 a.m. on July 31 in Norco in Riverside County when a man in a ski mask came through the door, pointing a rifle and demanding: “Hands in the air! Hands in the air!” Surveillance video shows Cope firing one blast from the shotgun.
The gunman fled. Surveillance cameras outside the store caught him screaming “He shot my arm off, he shot my arm off!” as he got into a car and was driven away.
“I didn’t have time to be afraid" after the car with four robbers pulled into the parking lot, and some got out wearing masks and gloves and holding weapons, Cope told KTTV-TV.
One robber came through the door with what Cope said appeared to be a semiautomatic rifle.
“The guy pointed the gun directly at me. It was him or me," Cope told the station.
Four men were later arrested at a hospital where the wounded suspect was being treated. The getaway car had been stolen in Las Vegas and contained stolen weapons, authorities said.
Cope was commended by the Sheriff's Department. Video of the shooting made him a celebrity. People flocked to the store to photograph and congratulate him and to buy items, including a T-shirt with the slogan “Don’t Mess with Norco, We’ll shoot your arm off,” KABC-TV reported.
Cope had owned the store since 1976. After the shooting, he suffered a heart attack but recovered and returned to work before having a disabling stroke in October.
Celebrity-Backed Bail Reform Group Shuts Down Las Vegas Chapter After Bailing Man Who Shot Waiter 11 Times
A left-wing bail reform organization discontinued its Las Vegas chapter after it was sued for helping bail out a repeat offender who shot a restaurant worker 11 times nearly a week later.
The Bail Project — which has celebrities Danny Glover, John Legend, and Richard Branson sitting on its advisory board — ceased its Sin City operations in early December and is currently restructuring, CBS affiliate KLAS reported, citing the organization.
The shuttering of the non-profit organization comes after it became the subject of a lawsuit after posting a $3,000 bond in December 2021 for serial criminal Rashawn Gaston-Anderson, who was suspected of burglary at the time.
Six days after being released, Gaston-Anderson shot restaurant worker Chengyan Wang 11 times at the Shanghai Plaza mall located in Las Vegas Chinatown.
Gaston-Anderson, 24, was sentenced earlier this month to seven to 18 years in prison after reaching a plea deal to be convicted on charges of attempted robbery and mayhem, both with deadly weapon enhancements, NBC affiliate KSNV reported.
Although Wang survived his injuries, he suffered seven gunshot wounds, including a punctured lung and stomach.
In September, Wang filed a lawsuit against The Bail Project, Gaston-Anderson, and Shanghai Plaza owner U.S. Hui De Real Estate Investment Corp. of Law Vegas.
Wang accuses The Bail Group of failing to consider Gaston-Anderson’s criminal history before they bonded him out, including his pending and past cases of “burglary of a business, carrying a concealed weapon without a permit, two counts of grand larceny and attempted grand larceny,” according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
“They’re going around as a bailing agency bailing people out with no or little due diligence,” said Wang’s lawyer Kory Kaplan stated via the Review-Journal.
The lawsuit also accuses the group of never having registered as a bail agent under Nevada’s Division of Insurance, which is legally required by the state.
In addition to the allegations against the offender and non-profit organization, Wang accused Hui De Real Estate Investment Corp. of a lack of adequate security at the plaza when he was shot.
Wang is seeking $15,000 in damages, per the lawsuit.
The Bail Project has several chapters across the U.S. but no longer lists the Las Vegas chapter on its website and has seemingly taken down the chapter page.
The organization’s stated goal is to end cash bail. Furthermore, the group once claimed in a court filing that it has bailed out “22,000 low-income people as of December 2021, with more than 72,000 court dates and an appearance rate of 92 percent,” according to the Review-Journal.
This is not the first time The Bail Project has been criticized for helping free an accused felon who would then commit another crime.
In October 2021, Travis Lang allegedly shot and killed Dylan McGinnis after The Bail Project posted Lang’s $5,000 bail in January 2021.
Lang is accused of a number of offenses dating back to 2018 and was jailed in October 2020 for possession of cocaine, a Level 6 felony. He is believed to have continued selling drugs after he was released.
In a Breitbart News Saturday interview in January 2022, McGinnes’ mother, Nikki Sterling, slammed the organization for seemingly failing to do research on Lang’s background.
“They indicate that their mission is to fight incarceration by bailing out low-income individuals but many statements I’ve seen on television made by the organization … is that they don’t actually look at the offender’s criminal history before they bail them out of jail,” Sterling said.

Reparations, the New Slave Wages
What the black community must do if it wants to overcome.
Yes, I said it and I mean it wholeheartedly. Every Black History month Blacks sing “We Shall Overcome” but if the Black community in America continues to accept and foolishly advocate for a slave mentality, that is what they shall get. The progressive socialist left, aka the Democrat party, has been highly successful in perpetuating a victim mentality for the black community. And in many ways, it has been the policies of the white socialist elitists of the left that have decimated and destroyed the black community.
Over the centuries, it has been the Democrats who have brought forth the policies of secession, slavery, segregation, and socialism…the dreaded 4S’s of the leftist apocalypse. In every way, these ideologies have proven detrimental to the existence of the black community. It is very comical to me to hear Democrats talk about Jim Crow when that is the policy they created and implemented, along with poll taxes, literacy tests, and lynchings. It was the Senate Democrats who have the record for the longest filibuster in US Senate history, against the 1964 Civil Rights Act, which passed thanks to Senate Republicans led by Everett Dirksen.
The so-called Great Society programs of widely known racist Democrat president Lyndon Johnson proved not so great. It led to the destruction of the traditional nuclear black family and turned American inner city communities into new economic plantations. Today, the black community is plagued with high unemployment, rampant fatherlessness, the genocidal murdering of our unborn babies, substandard schools, and lagging small business entrepreneurship. The new civil rights issue of this current age is school choice, but leftists, led by the Randi Weingarten teacher’s unions stand against it.
And what is the remedy for the ramifications of the destructive leftist policies?
Let’s give Blacks reparations for that which we created, implemented, and continue to support. Do not forget that Little Black Wall Street in Tulsa Oklahoma was destroyed by white Democrats.
Reparations? Yes, reparations, the new slave wages, after all, the Democrats, and the new overseers on the new black economic plantation — the Congressional Black Caucus — must continue to perpetuate the slave mentality. And this ungodly cabal must promote victimization because the crop of this economic plantation is not cotton, it is the vote.
My ideological mentor is a Black man who was once a slave. When he learned that he was free, he did not ask for reparations. No, Booker T. Washington sought out that which breaks the chains of any bondage, that which had been denied him, an education. Washington did not ask for gold bullion, a check, cash, or anything. He wanted that which leads to the golden ring of equality of opportunity, and knowledge. And with his dedication to education, he was recognized, and given the seemingly incredible task of establishing the first school of higher education in the south, Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute.
Booker T. Washington had a three-point agenda, ideology — education, entrepreneurship, self-reliance, and truly classical liberal and conservative principles and values. A man who was born a slave hosted an American president at his school, and dined with another in the White House. He helped form the Negro Business League which spawned the first generation of black economic growth.
Washington’s autobiography “Up From Slavery” along with Shelby Steele’s “White Guilt”, and Jason Riley’s “Please Stop Helping Us” should be mandatory reading for any imbecile advancing the idea of reparations…and those harboring that despicable victim mentality.
I am a proud American Black man, and that pride comes from a family of uniformed servants to this Nation. My Dad served in a segregated Army but he still challenged me to be the first officer in our family. I was born in a blacks-only hospital in Atlanta Georgia, 61 years ago. I was raised to never be a victim, but a victor. I was raised to never see, or allow anyone else to see my color as an impediment to success and achievement. My Mom taught me that self-esteem comes from doing esteemable things — somebody giving you some money for nothing ain’t gonna build up your esteem. That is the socialist economic theory tenet of creating and expanding a welfare nanny state.
In many ways, this insidious idea of reparations is just a big grown-up participation trophy. A silly gesture that essentially is worthless.
Two years ago I wrote the book, “We Can Overcome, An American Black Conservative Manifesto”. If the black community wants to overcome, stop being played by these white socialists, like the ones who founded the NAACP. Stop allowing deranged whites like Margaret Sanger and her legacy of killing future generations of black babies before they are born.
And stop with this dumbass victim mentality and being told that we are still slaves. I am a slave to no man or woman. I am a damn American and my forefathers sacrificed so that I could one day write this missive to be read by countless of my Countrymen and women.
And if this upsets white progressive socialists and their radical black lackeys…well, Hooah!
Steadfast and Loyal.

Racist Mayor: Jorge Elorza
Providence fixes racism with $346 checks for every black person.
During the long hot summer of Black Lives Matter race riots, Providence’s Mayor Jorge Elorza announced a truth and reparations commission, accusing the city and all of Rhode Island of perpetrating “generations of pain and violence and systemic oppression”.
The leftist racist, who has been steadily sending the city down the drain, urged the 33% of white people still left in Providence to “heal by discussing and accepting these uncomfortable truths”.
The commission would not be looking into Elorza’s alleged systemic racism which resulted in a lawsuit by the city’s former Department of Public Works director claiming that he was fired over a principled refusal to hire unqualified people “because of their ethnic backgrounds” while being banned from hiring “qualified applicants of a different ethnic background”.
These “uncomfortable truths” were not on the truth and reconciliation menu.
Instead, Elorza pushed forward with a plan to offer $10 million in reparations even though Rhode Island had actually been the first state to ban slavery and was founded by Roger Williams: an opponent of slavery. The tiny state had mobilized 25,236 soldiers in the Civil War including the 11th United States Colored Heavy Artillery Regiment. 1,771 Rhode Islanders paid the ultimate price and twenty were awarded the Medal of Honor.
That, not Eloriza’s $10 million grift, is what actually fighting racism looks like.
“These funds move us one step further towards closing the present-day racial wealth and equity gap,” Mayor Elorza falsely claimed.
With 28,834 black people living in Providence, that $10 million amounts to a $346 check for every black person. That’s enough to cover a week of groceries for a family of four.
Meanwhile, only “14 percent of Providence students are proficient in English and 6.8 percent are proficient in math.” The good news is that Providence students are so illiterate that they don’t even realize that Rhode Island wasn’t a member of the Confederacy.
And they know so little of basic mathematics that they have no idea how much $346 is.
Elorza’s racist virtue signaling doesn’t close any gaps. And it’s now under fire because it’s insufficiently racist since poor white people can also apply. That’s because the racist mayor chose to use cash from Biden’s inflationary $1.9 trillion stimulus plan which can’t exclude non-black applicants. Like the mayor himself, his reparations have failed in every possible way.
“You can’t just throw around $10 million for this-and-that program and call it reparations, because then it will be done without ever really having a conversation about what repairing the harm would look like,” a member of Elorza’s African American Ambassador Group complained.
Elorza’s racist crusade has thus far toppled a Columbus statue, and eliminated “plantations” from the city’s historic name in time for Juneteenth: even though the name had nothing to do with slavery. But expecting a city of illiterates to know that may be asking too much.
Meanwhile, Providence still has a 23% poverty rate: more than double than the state average.
The 92% of minority students in the Providence School District, most of them Hispanic, have reading proficiency scores that are half that of the state average and math scores that are almost a third that of the state average.
Homicides rose for three straight years: hitting a high that hadn’t been seen in a decade.
In 2021, 75 people were shot and 23 were killed in Providence. More than half of the entire state’s murders in 2020 took place in Providence even though the city holds only a fifth of Rhode Island’s population.
Asked to explain this phenomenon, Rhode Island Attorney General Peter Neronha pointed out that, “If you shoot 22 rounds into the air, the odds of hitting someone go dramatically up, which in part leads to more outcomes resulting in death.” This is as undeniably true as it is irrelevant.
More relevantly, pro-crime policies, like those championed by Mayor Jorge Elorza, such as the Providence Community-Police Relations Act, have worsened crime in the area. To paraphrase the attorney general fired by the Trump administration, If you keep pandering to criminals, the odds of them committing crimes go up which leads to more outcomes resulting in death.
Mayor Jorge Elorza and his allies keep blaming racism for Providence’s miserable state, but Democrats have run Providence for 86 of the last 100 years.
If there’s any systemic racism, it was their system. And it’s so now more than ever.
Elorza has been running Providence into the ground for the last 7 years. Whose fault is all the misery? Taking down a Columbus statue or requesting a report about events 400 years in the past is a convenient cover-up for who’s actually in office now. And it ain’t Christopher Columbus.
Providence has a Democrat mayor and an all-Democrat council.
In 2019, former Providence City Council President Lou Aponte, one of the most enduring politicians on that body, pleaded guilty to felony embezzlement. In 2018, Majority Leader Kevin Jackson was sentenced to a year in prison for stealing over $100,000 from a youth charity.
What Providence really needs isn’t a truth and reconciliation commission, but a commission to stamp out the corruption and organized crime that the state and city have become infamous for.
Behind all the racist virtue signaling are uncomfortable truths about crime and demographics.
A Matter of Truth, the truth and reconciliation report commissioned by the mayor, blames racism for black people getting COVID and quotes BLM co-founder Alicia Garza boasting that “black communities have the power not just to save the country, but to lead the country.”
Not so much in Providence, Rhode Island, where Latinos have long since become the dominant minority group. Mayor Jorge Elorza is the son of Guatemalan immigrants. Of the 15 city council members, all Democrats, 6 are Latino, some of African heritage, but only one is black American.
And behind the virtue signaling and wokeness are some ugly realities, Councilwoman Carmen Castillo, the Dominican immigrant who became the subject of a documentary for going from hotel cleaning lady to the city council, was charged in a hit and run crash. While Castillo might have faced a 6-month prison sentence and a ban on running for public office, instead she got a slap on the wrist with no prison time and a $3,500 payout to the victim.
Asking about that would be racist. Obviously.
Castillo defeated NAACP president Gerard Catala who faces an investigation over campaign finance violations including depositing a political contribution to his personal bank account.
But that’s just Providence politics which brings together corrupt Democrats of all races and creeds to screw over the illiterates who can’t read or add, but keep voting for them.
Even after they’re dead.
Providence’s Latino political elites keep pushing the ‘white guilt’ button while using black people as human shields. Most of the city’s minority population isn’t black and sleazy racists like Elorza are using false accusations of racism to seize power and distract attention from their abuses.
America isn’t racist, but Providence’s political elites are as corrupt as they are racist.
