Could be anything but the way all of his family seem to be dead makes me wonder a bit. Ruined people often have long memories and I seem to recall the quote about revenge being a dish best served cold.
[Townhall] Former Minneapolis police officer Kim Potter was sentenced Friday to 16 months behind bars for killing 20-year-old Daunte Wright at a traffic stop last year, mistaking her gun for a taser.
The sentence, significantly below the recommended minimum for manslaughter charges, was given by Judge Regina Chu despite objections from the prosecution after Potter apologized to the Wright family.
"To the family of Daunte Wright, I am so sorry that I brought the death of your son, father, brother, uncle, grandson, nephew," Potter said in the courtroom.
Addressing Wright's mother, Potter said, "Katie, I understand a mother's love, and I am sorry I broke your heart. My heart is broken for all of you."
[IsraelTimes] Husband, a Navy nuclear engineer, passed information about American nuclear-powered warships to someone he thought was foreign government representative; wife acted as lookout because of contempt for President Trump.
A Maryland woman pleaded guilty Friday to her role in a plot with her husband to sell submarine secrets to a foreign country.
Diana Toebbe entered the plea in federal court in Martinsburg to one count of conspiracy to communicate restricted data. Prosecutors said they would seek a prison term of up to three years at sentencing.
Her husband, Jonathan, a Navy nuclear engineer, pleaded guilty Monday to passing information about American nuclear-powered warships to someone he thought was a representative of a foreign government,
...at one point it was claimed they were France...
but who was actually an undercover FBI ...Formerly one of the world's premier criminal investigation organizations, something for a nation to be proud of. Now it's a political arm of the Deep State oligarchy that is willing to trump up charges, suppress evidence, or take out insurance policies come election time... agent.
Diana Toebbe was charged with acting as a lookout at several prearranged "dead-drop" locations at which memory cards containing the secret information were left behind. At the time of her arrest, Diana Toebbe was teaching at a private school in Maryland.
In pleading guilty to the same charge as his wife, Jonathan Toebbe, 43, faces a potential punishment between roughly 12 and 17 years in prison, a sentencing range agreed to by lawyers.
Prosecutors said he abused his access to top-secret government information and repeatedly sold details about the design elements and performance characteristics of Virginia-class submarines.
Jonathan Toebbe acknowledged during his plea hearing that he conspired with his wife to pass classified information to a foreign government in exchange for money with the intent to "injure the United States."
The memory cards were devices concealed in objects such as a chewing gum wrapper and a peanut butter sandwich. The Annapolis, Maryland, couple was arrested on October 9 after he placed a memory card at a dead-drop location in Jefferson County, West Virginia.
The FBI has said the scheme began in April 2020, when Jonathan Toebbe sent a package of Navy documents to a foreign government and wrote that he was interested in selling to that country operations manuals, performance reports and other sensitive information. He included in the package, which had a Pittsburgh return address, instructions to his supposed contact for how to establish a covert relationship with him, prosecutors said.
That package was obtained by the FBI in December 2020 through its legal attaché office in the unspecified foreign country. That set off a monthslong undercover operation in which an agent posing as a representative of a foreign country made contact with Toebbe, ultimately paying $100,000 in cryptocurrency in exchange for the information Toebbe was offering.
The country to which Jonathan Toebbe was looking to sell the information has not been identified in court documents and was not disclosed in court during his wife’s plea hearing Friday.
Jonathan Toebbe, who held a top-secret security clearance through the Defense Department, agreed as part of the plea deal to help federal officials with locating and retrieving all classified information in his possession, as well as the roughly $100,000 in cryptocurrency paid to him by the FBI.
FBI agents who searched the couple’s home found a trash bag of shredded documents, thousands of dollars in cash, valid children’s passports and a "go-bag" containing a USB flash drive and latex gloves, according to court testimony last year.
During a December hearing, Diana Toebbe’s lawyers denied prosecution assertions that cited 2019 messages exchanged by the couple in which she had contemplated fleeing the United States to avoid arrest. Instead, the defense said it was contempt for then-US president Donald Trump ...The tack in the backside of the Democratic Party... as the reason behind the couple’s emigration plans.
Seriously? They would betray America to France, of all countries, merely because of the possibility that The Donald might win reelection? Some people deserve what’s coming to ‘em.
Cadesha Bishop, 28, was sentenced to eight to 20 years in jail on Friday after the 2019 incident that claimed the life of 74-year-old Serge Fournier
Bus surveillance video from March 21, 2019, showed Bishop pushing Fournier after he had asked her to be nicer to other passengers in the vehicle
Fournier fell onto the sidewalk and died a month later from his injuries
Bishop was charged with murder and released on $100,000 bond in 2019
Her bail was revoked in 2021 after she was charged with grand larceny, with prosecutors arguing she rented a 2020 Chevrolet Impala and did not return it
The prosecution downgraded the murder charge to abuse of an elderly person resulting in death and Bishop pleaded guilty on December 27
Bishop's exact sentence length is expected to be based on her behavior. Her alleged mental health history could also play a part in the parole board's decision.

common sense says she is basically an awful person
The two are independent — part time daughter is bipolar, and a lovely, loving woman. But when she is on the manic side of the cycle, she works hard to control her impulses and intrusive thoughts that everyone is talking about her and judging her. Medication helped, once she was out of her mother’s house and could organize treatment; so did having responsibility for her own children. But she was able to recognize that she has a problem and do something about it — many can’t.

Anyone should have felt privileged to ride on the bus with her. Just as I'm sure the woman Uber driver's first honest moment as a human being was when her passenger shot her.

Obviously something sensitive got touched yesterday, so let's try to find some closure for you.
Your boys came up with a shoot from the hip and hope it turns out alright marketing strategy so awkward it bordered on satire, and so poorly executed the not only looked like a shit leftist meme it had a 70% style match with a Blamtifa call-to-action poster.
I wasn't the first to notice, because an gun grabber was tasked to write a hit piece based on anyone on-stage messing up, and they called red rover on Wee1 JR-15 and hired free agent DM Refrigerator Perry.
I guess I'm asking for clarification, and everyone is wound up a bit so we should skip the part about an interesting subculture of The Firearm Community proves interesting. At one point manufacturing was brought up, and if you are in manufacturing you know already how important presentation is, and in a calm mind wondering who Wee1s marketing group is so we know who to avoid - because first time ever anyone attending any SHOT got made a target like this.
Another, than anyone who isn't pushing The 2nd to the extreme, such as advertising to children without the adult's consent, is really anti-2nd and part of the problem. Well, guys like talking tits and beer, but thinking maybe not in church does not make someone anti-1st. Or like this maybe, making people uncomfortable for the sake of making them uncomfortable when they know you are making them uncomfortable on purpose...is a Karen, or an Alec, whatever the dude form name is. Bold marketing on selling the benefits of being part of The Firearm Community.
Sure Baldwin here would never been won over, he's so arrogant he even hates himself as shown by his massive collection of rehab receipts...which brings up, who even allowed him to carry something which goes bang? Any rate there are a whole bunch of new gun owners and people taking a look at the option, and the best thing the gun grabbers can do is make The Firearm Community look exactly like the gun grabbers say it is.
Personally, I would have liked to see the conversation go something like, "Yeah a bit on the nose, trying to give something to kids without involving the parents. We can get that cleaned up....say DM, what is your opinion about masks, shots, lgayperdo lifestyle being pushing in schools while going around the Parents?"
Or that it is interesting that this picture and piece was sat on for over a month until almost immediately after the Remington settlement announcement? Who paid for that space under the DM?
Like I said, just looking for some clarification on a subject you are obviously passionate and knowledgeable about.

Why, ol Joe is a graduate of the Baldwin School of Home Defense, with a specialty in shotguns.
I do appreciate the concern Murcek, I really do, but I'm a pretty good typist so not much time at all. Now I have a youngster who can type faster than dictation, and hold a separate voice conversation while playing the game. Guess that is today's day and age for ya but I bet I'd still win in Lawn Darts.
Just one more question though, because something has been rattling around up there and I finally figured it out - the Fred Phelps business model. Remember them? Business plan was to fire up the loyal customers, influence the passives, and embarrass the competition into silence. Very interesting how they did that. So my question is, again, sir, and please bare with me, umm: If a person wanted to set up a Phelps model inside the firearm industry, what would that entail?

Perhaps then, my question should have been open ended, really anyone, I was simply presented an avatar which claimed knowledge in the subject. My ignorance in production and presentation got the best of me. Trying to learn my one new thing each day got the best of me, and all that.
[FoxNews] An Uber driver and the mother of four children who was murdered in Pennsylvania this month begged for a passenger to spare her life in a robbery attempt which resulted in her death, according to dashcam evidence.
"I’m begging you, I have four kids," said 38-year-old Christi Spicuzza, according to dashcam video footage of the gruesome crime, The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported.
Spicuzza, of Turtle Creek, was found dead on Feb. 12 with a single gunshot wound to the head in Monroeville, about 10 miles east of Pittsburgh, the Allegheny County Police Department stated.
On Feb. 10, around 9:15 p.m., Spicuzza picked up a 22-year-old passenger named Calvin Crew. Upon entering the vehicle, Crew allegedly pulled a gun out and placed it to the back of Spicuzza's head, according to a criminal complaint. In the complaint, police discussed evidence found on Spicuzza’s dashcam.
The complaint states, according to the Post-Gazette, that Spicuzza made clear to Crew that she had a family. Crew responded, "I got a family too. Now drive."
Crew allegedly told Spicuzza that if she followed his demands then everything would "be all right," just before Crew reaches for the dashcam and the footage ends.
Crew was arrested on Thursday and arraigned Friday before District Judge Robert P. Dzvonick. Pending a preliminary hearing on Feb. 25, Crew is being held without bail in the Allegheny County Jail, the Post-Gazette noted.

This is an example of a Liberal Democrat run State / City where defensive carry is so controlled it is all but banned for citizens wishing to protect themselves. Leaving the Government and Criminals the only ones well armed.
What's the typical response time for a Pennsylvania under staffed / Defunded local Police Dept.?
Depending on the city location it's 20 mins to 45 mins.
Note: Most FELONY level crimes involving physical interaction between Thug & Citizen take less than 1 min (robbery, stabbing,assualt) to <12 mins (rape/murder).
At one point in the company’s history, Uber did allow drivers to carry firearms with them in their vehicles. Drivers simply had to abide by the local, state, and federal laws about carrying guns in a car, and the company would not intervene. However, Uber’s weapons policy has changed slightly since then.
According to Uber’s current weapons policy, no one can carry a firearm in an Uber – including drivers, riders, and other passengers. If a driver does choose to carry a weapon in his or her vehicle, he or she will have to abide by certain Transportation Security Administration rules about transporting firearms and ammunition.
The driver must unload the weapon and lock it in a hard-sided container.The driver must place the container in the trunk of the car.The driver must place any accessories, such as ammunition, clips, and magazines, in the trunk of the vehicle as well.
If the driver violates any of these provisions with his or her weapon, the company will suspend his or her account. This same policy applies to passengers as well.
[Rudaw] A Pennsylvania man was arrested by American security forces on Thursday and later charged for torturing an unnammed victim when running a wepaons factory in the Kurdistan Region in 2015, the US Department of Justice, announced on Friday.
The department said in a statement that Ross Roggio, 53, was running a project in the Kurdistan Region in 2015 to construct a weapons factory, citing the indictment against the man.
"The superseding indictment alleges that one of Roggio’s employees raised concerns about the weapons project and, to prevent the employee from interfering with the weapons project, Roggio arranged for Kurdish soldiers to abduct the employee," added the statement.
Roggio and his Roggio Consulting Company LLC were charged in a 37-count indictment in 2018 for "illegally exporting firearms parts and tools from the United States to Iraq as part of the weapons project in Kurdistan. The superseding indictment adds the torture charges to the previously charged offenses," according to the department.
Roggio, who also commanded a number of Kurdish soldiers, had held the victim for 39 days, interrogating him. He had "directed Kurdish soldiers to suffocate the victim with a bag, taser the victim in the groin and other areas of his body, beat the victim with fists and rubber hoses, jump violent mostly peacefully on the victim’s chest while wearing military boots, and threaten to cut off one of the victim’s fingers while applying pressure to the finger with a large cutting tool," noted the statement. "The superseding indictment also alleges that on at least one occasion, Roggio wrapped his belt around the victim’s neck, yanked the victim off the ground, and suspended him in the air, causing the victim to lose consciousness."
If convicted, Roggio could be sentenced to up to 725 years in prison for all counts. "A federal district court judge will determine any sentence after considering the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors."
"Roggio is the second U.S. citizen — and the fourth defendant overall — to be charged with violating the torture statute since the law went into effect in 1994," read the statement by the department.
The torture charges against Roggio are being investigated by the FBI ...Formerly one of the world's premier criminal investigation organizations, something for a nation to be proud of. Now it's a political arm of the Deep State oligarchy that is willing to trump up charges, suppress evidence, or take out insurance policies come election time... and Home Security investigations.

[Western Journal] A citizens group out to catch suspected pedophiles reportedly found one that the tech giant Meta admits was an employee.
The Daily Caller News Foundation reported Thursday that Jeren Miles, manager of community development at Meta — the parent company of Facebook — was filmed by members of Predator Catchers Indianapolis, which tracks individuals it believes are potential pedophiles.
The group is not officially connected with law enforcement but posts videos online of those it has connected with the potential sexual exploitation of children.
The man whom citizen activists were targeting identified himself as "Jeren" and the "manager of community development," according to a lengthy video posted on YouTube on Thursday.
[Fox5Atlanta] Officials said a homeless man stole a fire engine and caused it to crash into another vehicle in a northwest Atlanta neighborhood on Saturday afternoon.

[CBS] Washington — The U.S. has intelligence that Russian commanders have received orders to proceed with an invasion of Ukraine, with commanders on the ground making specific plans for how they would maneuver in their sectors of the battlefield, a U.S. official told CBS News.
The orders don't mean a invasion is a certainty, as Russian President Vladimir Putin could still change the orders if he changes his mind, the official said.
After weeks of warning that an invasion of Ukraine was imminent, President Biden told reporters on Friday that he was "convinced" Putin had made the decision to invade Ukraine and said the U.S. believed Russian forces intended to attack in the "coming days."
[DAILY BEAST] While the world continues to watch Russian troops mass and maneuver at Ukraine’s vast borders, an esoteric group of investigative journalists and military experts are focusing on an ominous "Z" that has started appearing on military hardware heading towards Ukraine.
Video posted on social media has shown hundreds more tanks, communications vehicles and rocket launchers bearing down on the border. Many of those captured on camera have been painted with a "Z" inside a large white square.
Bellingcat reporter Aric Toler, says his group has been monitoring Russian military symbols for the last eight years, but they have "no idea what they [the Zs] are" and haven’t seen them before. "So, assume the worst, I guess/fear," he wrote on Twitter.
also, I'm pretty sure there is no pure Z sound in Russian --
they have a ZH sound and some others which sort of have a Z but not like the Z is zoo

OMG! Z is the last letter of the alphabet. This can only be a reference to the end of the world. Or not.
A Russian "Z" looks similar to "3" and is the 9th letter of their alphabet. Unlikely to be painting their vehicles with Roman letters, I'm gonna guess this is some sort of graphic showing what unit they belong to.

Remembering in counter intelligence course the idea of individualized markings within a classified document or pieces of equipment that were being leaked to ID the perp by unique signature. Punctuational marking errors, so slight that they are invisible, or minor defects that are placed in altered places.

'We will target Russia's financial institutions and key industries, and we will target those who... aide and abet this unprovoked invasion'

Lifted this from CTH and a poster because the mocking Kamala style statement is classic:

Come on. Let’s be fair to Kamala.
First, she was wearing a black suit. That indicates professionalism and gravitas.
Second, she was wearing a mask. That indicates her profound concern for all those present at this event.
Third, she spoke in a somber tone and used some big words.
Granted the Wilma Flinstone necklace was a hat tip to something frivolous and perhaps inappropriate for the serious, grave, serious (did I say that already?), important, sobering moment in history that Kamala is speaking about with enormous restraint and discipline as she lays out a plan, an idea, a path forward for coming together to fight against that which must be fought and to create unity and togetherness at a difficult moment such as this because that’s what this is all about and we understand it and this is why and how it’s good and important because of everything she said and was about to say that will spell out precisely our values and desire to protect those who are in agreement and to ensure that every day we move forward together.

The leader of the separatists in the Donbass region, eastern Ukraine, announced the beginning of the evacuation of civilians to Russia due to fears of a large-scale conflict.
"The large-scale evacuation of civilians to the Russian Federation is being held from today, in which women, children and the elderly will be given priority to move first," said Denis Pushilin, leader of the Donetsk People’s Republic. DPR) self-proclaimed, posted on Telegram on February 18.
Pushilin accused Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky of ordering troops to launch an attack on the DPR.
He said that Russian officials and the government of the border Rostov province are ready to receive civilians in Donetsk and have prepared a "receiving place" for them. Pushilin also affirmed that the DPR is always in a state of combat readiness and capable of protecting civilians, but urged the public to listen and cooperate with the evacuation plan.
"The temporary evacuation will protect the lives and health of you and your loved ones," Pushilin said.
On the same day, the leader of the Lugansk People’s Republic (LPR) self-proclaimed Leonid Pasechnik also announced the evacuation of civilians through Russia, saying that he had instructed his subordinates to implement. Pasechnik also called on those who can afford to hold guns to stay and defend their homeland.
The evacuation announcement was issued by the DPR and LPR leaders amid the recent escalation of festivities between government troops and separatists in eastern Ukraine. One source said shelling between the warring parties had recently broken out the most since 2015.
Nearly 600 explosions were recorded on the morning of February 18 in the Donbass region, up 100 from a day earlier, some of which involved 152 mm, 122 mm artillery shells and large mortars. The tank fired at least four rounds of artillery fire, the source said.
"They’re firing, all sides with every weapon they have," the source said. "This has never happened after 2014-2015."
However, the hip bone's connected to the leg bone... Ukrainian officials denied this, saying there had been no reported deaths in recent days, while deadly festivities had occurred during the implementation of the ceasefire signed in 2015.
Ukraine’s Defense Minister Oleksiy Reznikov said in a session of parliament today that the country is strengthening its defense capabilities, but "has no intention of launching a military operation against the separatists in the east or on the Crimean peninsula."
Fighting in the Donbass region recently increased after Ukraine received many weapons from the US and NATO ...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. A cautionary tale of cost-benefit analysis.... members. The weapons arrived amid heightened tensions after the United States and the West accused Russia of amassing more than 100,000 troops near the border and planning an invasion of Ukraine.
Russia denied, asserting that all military activities close to the western border are an internal matter and only for the purpose of rehearsals against the threat from the scenario of NATO expansion to the east, and criticized the US and its allies. exaggerate the danger of war.
Before Russia’s deployment, the US sent warships and B-1B bombers to participate in NATO’s "unplanned exercises" in the Black Sea, with two members of the alliance, The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the occupiers of Greek Asia Minor... and Romania, and Ukraine.
Russia on February 16 outlined five steps to resolve the conflict in the Donbass, including forcing Ukraine to comply with the Minsk agreement and stopping the supply of weapons to this Eastern European country. Russia also called on the West to withdraw its military advisers and stop all exercises between Ukraine and NATO, and then withdraw all foreign weapons transferred here.

MUNICH (AP) — Moscow would have its access to financial markets and high-tech goods limited under Western sanctions being prepared in case Russia attacks Ukraine, a top European Union official said Saturday.
The comments from Ursula von der Leyen, head of the EU’s Executive Commission, came as tensions over Russia’s intentions toward Ukraine intensified. U.S. President Joe Biden said Friday he was convinced" that Russian President Vladimir Putin has decided to invade the neighboring country.
"The Kremlin’s dangerous thinking, which comes straight out of a dark past, may cost Russia a prosperous future," von der Leyen said during the annual Munich Security Conference, where U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris also spoke.
Von der Leyen said the EU’s executive arm has developed a "robust and comprehensive package" of possible financial sanctions against Russia with the U.S., U.K. and Canada.
