The cunning nature of the criminal mind

Original Article

It was about 2 A.M. on a chilly night in the Bedford-Stuyvesant section of Brooklyn. While on radio car patrol, my partner and I were notified that an anonymous caller had heard unusual sounds at a hardware store that had been closed for several hours. Since we couldn’t find a break in front, we checked the hallway of the building next door, finding a window that accessed the rear yard. I climbed onto a narrow ledge and inched my way toward the grimy-looking rear window of the store.

Comments:

This makes me think of many Dem politicians. They will say and do anything, because they have criminal minds.

Right on, OP, right on! I was a policeman's daughter. In the mid '70s I worked four+ years as a record clerk for the LAPD. I worked morning watch (midnight to 8am) at Central Division downtown for three years, and the rest of the time mornings at Harbor Division. Part of our job was to read every arrest and crime report submitted by the officers after the sergeant's approval, so that we knew who needed copies; the courts, robbery, vice, burglary etc. Never underestimate the cunning of the criminal mind, or their ability to bald-face lie and obfuscate. We didn't interact with the arrestees, but did the see those in the hallway waiting to be booked not looking so tough. I did a couple of ride-alongs with the sergeant. They wanted us to have a better understanding of what the officer's shifts are like. It was quite the education. I went into the Single-Room-Only hotels who catered to bums that made enough pan-handling to afford a room. The homeless situation was no where near it is today. Skid Row was a dangerous place then, I cannot imagine what it is like now. The average citizen has no idea what officers are up against. It is a testament to the bravery of our men in blue that they return to the job night after night, day after day. If you ever get a chance to chat with cop, let him know the law-abiding appreciate them.

When leftists abandon reason, the shooting starts 4 replies

Once again, the left has attempted to assassinate President Trump and/or those in his Cabinet. But why do these instances of violence continue to occur? Pretty simple: The left has abandoned reason and debate. I came about my “worldview” over a forty- to fifty-year period by engaging smart (and some not so smart) people, and by challenging my notions on particular important subjects; economics, religion, culture, foreign affairs, and more. [snip] I’ve found very few leftists willing to engage in deep debate on important matters, before they, like pigeons, crap on the board and knock over all the chess pieces.

Politics is often framed as a battle of ideas. Elections. Messaging. Media narratives. But beneath all that lies something more fundamental — and far less discussed. Demography. Because in the long run, it is not the loudest voices who win. It is the next generation. And increasingly, that generation is not being raised by the political left. [snip] This would explain Democrats’ open borders policies, which, combined with generous welfare benefits, add millions of voters electing to continue the gravy train. The real divide is not just race or geography. It is fertility. And on that front, the left is losing.

A pair of Chinese-American siblings is accused of planting an improvised explosive device (IED) at MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa, Florida. The siblings, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officials have revealed, are the now adult “anchor babies” of Chinese illegal aliens who were rewarded birthright citizenship for their two children after their mother delivered them in the United States. Last week, the Department of Justice (DOJ) brought charges against 20-year-old Alen Zheng and 27-year-old Ann Mary Zheng after they allegedly orchestrated an attack on MacDill Air Force Base, including planting an IED on the premises.

The elephant in the room grows bigger after a look at the latest violent crime statistics: blacks are the greatest perpetrators, and the greatest victims, of criminal violence. First, let’s look at a new stat, from AFPost on X: That means just 285 suspected shooters were white, while a whopping 18,715 were non-white. When we cross-reference that data with numbers from the city, we see more of the whole picture. The latest report from the NYPD is from 2024, with a few brief and relevant points below: 66.8% of the shooting victims and 64.5% of the shooting suspects are black, despite blacks actually being less of the population

NEW YORK (AP) — “Project Hail Mary” stayed aloft in its second weekend, holding strongly with $54.5 million, according to studio estimates Sunday, and adding to the long-term prospects of the year’s biggest hit thus far. The Phil Lord and Chris Miller sci-fi adventure, starring Ryan Gosling, dipped only 32% after notching the best non-franchise opening weekend since 2023’s “Oppenheimer.” Amazon MGM’s yet, “Project Hail Mary” has grossed $300.8 million worldwide in two weeks. “Project Hail Mary,” which cost nearly $200 million to produce, didn’t face any significant new competition and kept premium format screens largely to itself.
Beating the drones 2 replies

The solution to the Iranian drone problem may already be in the pipeline. This involves a long-serving U.S. drone, the Raytheon Coyote. The latest version, the Block 3NK (Non-Kinetic) has demonstrated that it can knock down numerous enemy drones without ever actually striking them – and then turn around and do it again. The first version of the Coyote originated in a 2004 requirement from the U.S. Navy’s Office of Naval Research for a small, expendable UAV to serve with the P-3 Orion antisubmarine aircraft. The drone was to be launched from the plane’s sonobuoy tubes, at which point the straight wings would unfold. Originally intended as a remote sensor platform

More than 600 service members and crew members aboard the USS Gerald R. Ford are without a bed after a fire aboard the ship Thursday, The New York Times reported. The fire took upwards of 30 hours to douse, according to the publication, and it damaged sailors’ sleeping arrangements so badly that they’re having to sleep on floors and tables. The Navy announced Thursday that the world’s largest aircraft carrier experienced a non-combat fire that originated in the main laundry room, but the service did not provide further information as to the source of the fire. “There is no damage to the ship’s propulsion plant

It’s easy to forget that ten years ago, candidate Donald Trump was the only national politician who took China’s growing geopolitical power seriously. He talked about China so frequently and pronounced those two syllables so deliberately — Chi-na — that comedians and voters alike enjoyed doing imitations of the MAGA-man taking America’s geopolitical adversary to task. On the stump, Trump called both Republicans and Democrats “stupid” for how they had permitted the Chinese Communist Party to devour American assets. He would list beautiful American buildings and historic American real estate that the Chinese had acquired since President Bill Clinton and both parties in Congress decided

At long last, the F-35 has scored its first true air-to-air kill in the aircraft’s history during Operation Epic Fury. A squadron of F-35s reportedly took down multiple MiG-29s soon after the strikes against Iran took place, marking a pivotal moment for the new family of jets. The F-35 had yet to score a kill against an adversary aircraft, with both American and Israeli operators only having used them to target drones up to this point. No footage of the fight has been released to date, and it is unclear how many MiGs the F-35s have eliminated.

The latest controversy hovering over liberal comedian Jimmy Kimmel is leaving a sour taste among those in ABC's orbit. Kimmel is under fire yet again, this time for a poorly-timed joke he made targeting President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump just two days before Saturday's shocking assassination attempt at the White House Correspondents' Association (WHCA) Dinner, where the Trumps and nearly the entire Cabinet were located.

President Trump on Sunday evening blasted ’60 Minutes’ anchor Norah O’Donnell for reading portions of the White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooter’s manifesto. A heavily armed man stormed the lobby of the Washington Hilton Saturday night, sprinted past a Secret Service checkpoint and shot at a Secret Service agent. The shooter, identified as Cole Allen, 31, of Torrence, California, was taken into custody and charged with using a firearm during a crime of violence and assaulting a federal officer with a dangerous weapon. On Sunday it was revealed that Cole Allen wrote a manifesto and expressed his hatred for “pedophile, rapist” Trump.

Rep.

Despite a $7.1 billion hole, Mayor Zohran Mamdani has pushed back against any serious cutting to his budget and instead wants to delay required payments to city pension funds. That’s precisely the kind of tactics that brought the city to the brink of bankruptcy in the ’70s. At the least, it will saddle future taxpayers with unnecessary costs. For the moment, the city is on-track to meeting its long-term pension-funding obligations by its 2032 deadline. Yet to help close his budget hole, Mamdani would push $1 billion worth of payments into the 2040s. That would be both costly and risky.

His monologue about my family isn’t comedy- his words are corrosive and deepens the political sickness within America,” Trump, 56, wrote in a post on X. The comic is facing severe backlash after the attack on the gala dinner, in which a Secret Service agent suffered minor injuries after a gunman charged a checkpoint

WASHINGTON — The suspected White House Correspondents Dinner shooter Cole Allen was charged with trying to assassinate President Trump on Saturday night — as he made a defiant first appearance in court. The 31-year-old accused madman spoke loudly and confidently answering a judge’s questions in federal court in Washington, DC, as he was hit with the charges of attempted assassination of the president, transportation of a firearm across state lines to commit a felony and discharging a gun. He faces life in prison if convicted of the top charge. Allen — who walked into the courtroom unshackled with a somber look and wearing a blue jail jumpsuit — answered

Earlier, RedState reported on a statement made by Democrat House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (NY-08) a day after the third assassination attempt on President Donald Trump in less than two years. In a Sunday night tweet, Jeffries wrote that "America will not be lectured about civility by far-right extremists in Congress. Particularly those who provide aid and comfort to hundreds of violent rioters who brutally beat police officers on January 6." He added, "Now is a time to unify," which was a rather strange remark considering he just called his political opposition, which has legit concerns about incendiary Democrat rhetoric, "far-right extremists."
