Families were split up, eating and
laying in the Memphis restaurant.
Then there were gunshots.
Posted By: Ribicon, 7/26/2021 3:43:20 PM
It was supposed to be a fun Saturday out of town. By the time the family accounted for its 18 members in the parking lot outside the building where the shooting occurred, they were in shock and ready to go back home. How could they have expected a shooting? They were there for pizza and games. Others were there for birthday parties. It was 4 p.m. in the afternoon. “It’s really pathetic and pitiful to me,” Shauna West, 42, said of the shooting inside America's Incredible Pizza Company in Memphis. Once the initial shock wore off, she realized someone in her family could have gotten killed.

A Michigan state representative has defended spending $221 in campaign funds at a Detroit-area strip club, insisting that he was there to meet his constituents—and that they have 'great lamb chops'. Jewell Jones, a Democrat representing the Detroit suburb of Inkster, made headlines in 2017 for being the youngest person ever elected to the Michigan House of Representatives, at the age of 21.(Snip)It is not the first time that Jones' behavior has raised eyebrows. He was arrested on April 6 after he drunkenly crashed his black Chevy Tahoe, with a personalized license plate that read 'elected.' Jones was tackled, restrained, stunned twice with a taser,
A federal jury on Tuesday convicted a wealthy California political donor on charges he injected gay men with methamphetamine in exchange for sex, leading to two deaths and other overdoses. Ed Buck, 66, was found guilty of all nine felony counts in federal court, which could lead to a life sentence. The verdict came exactly four years after one of the victims, 26-year-old Gemmel Moore, was found dead of an overdose in Buck's West Hollywood apartment.(Snip) Prosecutors said Buck paid black men and provided drugs in return for sex acts, having hunted online for partners with the familiar term 'PnP'—'party and play', or using meth
Missouri residents are allegedly wearing disguises and getting COVID-19 vaccines in secret in fear of blowback from members of their communities.

This California city is really sticking it to its workers. Montclair in San Bernardino County now requires that its city employees who want to go maskless wear stickers proving they are fully vaccinated against COVID-19.
In order to be allowed not to wear a mask while working, the staffers have to show proof of inoculation, city officials said. The workers will then be given a sticker to display on their ID badges stating that they have their shot, according to the San Gabriel Valley Tribune. Officials said the program is “100 percent voluntary,” although adding that anyone who doesn’t want to disclose their vaccination status

Guard for Jan. 6 deployments 11 replies
The Senate Appropriations Committee reached a deal Tuesday to reimburse the National Guard and U.S. Capitol Police for deployments during the Jan. 6 riot. The funding had been held up by a partisan fight over including extra funding, with the holdup creating a budget crunch that threatened to force National Guard units to cancel training. The deal would provide a $2 billion security supplemental bill that would pay back Capitol Police and the National Guard. “We have the responsibility to take care of the Capitol Police in the wake of their incredible service on January 6th, and to reimburse our National Guard for costs incurred protecting the Capitol,”

Democratic lawmakers and Interior Secretary Deb Haaland want to change the names of more than 1,000 rivers, mountains and other places because they consider the names to be racist. A Democratic bill introduced last week in both chambers—one by Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts and the other by Rep. Al Green of Texas—would also eliminate the names of places that are named after people who “held racially repugnant views” or “carried out injustices against racial minorities,” according to the legislation.
“Racism, even in geography, cannot be tolerated in a country that strives for liberty and justice for all,” Mr. Green said. The lawmakers refused to provide
Some 90 per cent of population growth in recent years has been driven by immigrants and their UK-born offspring, analysis suggests. Over the past 20 years they have added around seven million to the British population, the report from the Migration Watch UK think-tank said.(Snip)The audit of migration since 2001 warned that immigration over the last two decades–with numbers of arrivals running at around 300,000 a year with little public debate–are likely to produce economic, social and political difficulties in coming years. Think-tank chief Alp Mehmet said: ‘We can no longer duck the longer-term consequences of very high levels of immigration
Two Syrians and an Iraqi accused of beating and then gang-raping an 18-year-old in Germany have been granted bail, sparking an outcry. The men, aged 18-21, were granted their freedom after a judge ruled there was no risk they would escape. The men must report to police frequently, continue to live with their parents, and not approach the alleged victim, Bild reported.
The trio, who are not related by birth or marriage, all came to Germany with their families in 2015.(Snip) Last year, a group of refugees were jailed for gang-raping an 18-year-old girl after spiking her drink in an attack
They want hard proof. A California restaurant notorious for disregarding COVID protocols is “doubling down” on COVIDIOCY—by requiring patrons to prove that they haven’t been vaccinated. “From day one, never complied, banned masks, and now … requiring proof of being Un-vaccinated!” read a recent Instagram post by Basilico’s Pasta E Vino in Huntington Beach.
Accompanying pics show the Italian restaurant emblazoned with signs that read: “NOTICE: Proof of being UNvaccinated required.” “We have zero tolerance for treasonous, anti-American stupidity,” the now-viral notice adds.(Snip)The anti-PPE placards are actually a tongue-in-cheek jab at “the lockdown tiny tyrants”
At least 20 mayors from cities that have called to defund the police enjoy the perks of private security at a cost to taxpayers of millions of dollars a year. In February, San Francisco Mayor London Breed announced plans to redirect $120 million from the police department to a combination of new and existing programs. Meanwhile, the city spent $2.6 million to protect her in 2020, a number that will likely increase this year. The dichotomous combination of public officials calling to defund the police while spending millions to protect themselves only appears in cities with Democratic mayors. San Francisco spent $12.4 million to protect Breed
Jamaica, Queens—A man accused of several anti-Muslim assaults in South Ozone Park is being connected to yet another hate-filled incident in nearby Jamaica, police said Monday. Back in June, the NYPD Hate Crimes Unit said police were looking for a man connected to at least two anti-Muslim assaults in Queens on Sunday night. On Monday, officials detailed a third incident they’d connected to the pattern. It happened on Sunday at about 6:30 p.m. on Sutphin Boulevard in Jamaica near 94th Avenue. The unidentified man allegedly followed a 38-year-old woman while making anti-Muslim statements and holding a knife.
Hundreds of bars in San Francisco will begin requiring proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test result from patrons who want to eat or drink inside, an industry group announced. The San Francisco Bar Owner Alliance, which represents more than 500 bar owners in the area, said it changed its position this week on requiring proof of vaccination or a negative test due to a recent uptick in cases “among our staff members, especially those who are fully vaccinated.” “This decision is based solely on our need to protect our workers, customers and their families,” the group said in a statement.

Between his bumbling about during a CNN town hall last week and his over the weekend episode where he seemingly says “my butt’s been wiped,” the condition of President Biden’s mental faculties had drawn increased scrutiny in recent days. And during an appearance on Monday’s Special Report, Fox News senior political analyst Brit Hume did what the liberal media refused to do and called it out, noting “these are signs of senility.”“You know, Brit, the President obviously receives some pretty good press overall from the media,” anchor Bret Baier prefaced as he broached the subject. “But, there have been a couple answers
Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) on Monday said it is the community’s mission to get more people vaccinated, previewing his administration’s desire to knock on doors, put unvaccinated people in cars, and drive them to “get that vaccine in their arm.”
“I wear a mask because I care about you. I get a vaccine because I care about you,” Cuomo said, framing compliance to various methods of government coercion as an expression of selflessness.
“We understand that we are all in this together. We understand that as goes one goes all in this city where we all live together and in this state where we all live together,” he continued.

As protesters poured into the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, a Black Capitol Police officer passionately testified Tuesday that he faced racist epithets, the likes of which he had never heard while serving in uniform.

“Boo! F****** n*****!” the crowd of about 20 yelled back, Dunn recalled.
