Judge facing heat for releasing alleged DC teen shooter donated to Soros tied fund, posted about being ‘woke’
By Andrew Miller and Cameron Cawthorne
May 12, 2024
A Washington, D.C., judge who released on bail a teenager accused of firing over two dozen rounds at a car full of people along a busy street has a social media presence filled with progressive activism and a financial link to progressive mega donor George Soros.
Lloyd U. Nolan, Jr., a magistrate judge on the Superior Court of the District of Columbia, is in the spotlight this week after he ordered that 18-year-old Amonte Moody be released from custody before his trial despite accusations he sprayed a D.C. neighborhood with shots from an AR-15 while targeting a car carrying four people.
Nolan’s online presence includes examples of progressive activism, including a post boasting about being “woke,” a post promoting Black Lives Matter and a post showing he donated to a fundraiser supporting a professor with ties to George Soros.
A Facebook post shows Nolan donated to Gideon’s Promise, a group founded in 2007 through a fellowship from George Soros’ Open Society Foundation on behalf of a professor named Jonathan Rapping.
Rapping, a professor at Atlanta’s John Marshall Law School, developed the venture, which is “devoted to training and supporting public defenders across the Southeastern United States.”
“We envision a nation where every person has access to zealous, outstanding legal representation necessary to ensure ‘equal justice for all’ in the criminal justice arena,” the Gideon’s Promise website states.
“Our programs and partnerships are uniquely tailored to support and strengthen the efficacy of public defenders as a critical part of systemic criminal justice reform. Public defenders are frontline advocates for the accused in this country and we are committed to nurturing and developing their skills at every career level to produce fairer outcomes for America’s most vulnerable citizens.”
Fox News Digital reached out to Nolan for comment on the social media posts but did not receive a response. Shortly after the request for comment was sent, Nolan’s Facebook page was set to private.
Nolan concluded that Moody, who was charged with endangerment with a firearm, possession of a weapon and assault, was not a threat to the community and approved a request to release him on house arrest with a GPS monitor on May 3, WJLA-TV reported.
The decision to release Moody on house arrest prompted outrage from many on social media. And prosecutors with the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Washington, D.C., requested an emergency hearing scheduled for May 22 to discuss the matter and potentially reverse it.
“The government presented evidence establishing probable cause that the defendant fired an AR-15 weapon approximately 26 times at a car driving away on a public street in the 1700 block of Independence Ave SE then dissembled the firearm and hid it away in a ceiling,” the prosecutors wrote.
“Despite the egregiousness of this conduct, the strength of the case, including video evidence depicting it and two identifications of the defendant as the shooter, and the statutory presumption in favor of detention pending trial, the Magistrate Judge released the defendant.”
A spokesperson for the D.C. court system told Fox News Digital all defendants “have a presumption of innocence.”
“In this matter — after hearing arguments from both sides and the arguments for detention — the judge determined that 24-hour home confinement on electronic monitoring with the education and social services already in place for the defendant that release, on these strict conditions did ‘ensure the safety of the defendant and the public,'” the spokesperson added.
The spokesperson also told Fox News Digital the defense “relied heavily” on the fact that Moody had no prior encounters with law enforcement, and he was provided educational support and family and community resources.
“Judge Nolan conducted a very thorough hearing … and spoke directly with defendant about the consequences of violating any portion of the release conditions,” the spokesperson said.
Columbia University President Minouche Shafik is refusing to release security video that shows “peaceful protesters” engaging in the unlawful imprisonment of janitors inside Hamilton Hall.

Columbia University custodians’ union plans to sue school over anti-Israel protests, slams ‘bratty’ occupiers
By Greg Norman
May 9, 2024
A union representing custodians at Columbia University says it is gearing up to sue the Ivy League school for its response to the anti-Israel protests, in which its members allegedly were targeted by “spoiled” and “bratty” agitators who temporarily took over a campus building.
TWU International President John Samuelsen told ‘Fox & Friends’ on Thursday that his rank and file is “particularly incensed at Columbia for not protecting the workers and particularly pissed at those particular protesters that tried to hold our workers in the building” during the occupation of Hamilton Hall early last week.
“Everybody in the building, the entire TWU workforce in the building was fearful and rightfully so. They stormed in… but two of the custodians had to fight their way out. They were explicitly told ‘you’re staying here, you’re not going anywhere, this cause is bigger than you,” Samuelsen said. “Imagine that… kind of smarmy, sort of entitled, spoiled, bratty occupiers of the building come in and tell these blue-collar men and women ‘you’re not going anywhere, you’re staying here because this cause is bigger than you’ when they had to get home to their families. It’s outrageous, it’s an affront to workers everywhere.”
“Columbia should have never put the custodians or the security officer in that position and that is at the heart of the matter,” Samuelsen also said. “Columbia showed an epic disregard and epically failed to protect the workforce.
Hamilton Hall eventually was cleared out by the NYPD last Tuesday, but the TWU said this week that it is “exploring legal action against the university and the Hamilton Hall occupiers.”
In a letter Samuelsen addressed to Columbia University President Minouche Shafik, the union is demanding the names of the protesters arrested inside Hamilton Hall, security footage of the hostile takeover and a meeting with Shafik “regarding mitigation steps necessary to avoid future placement of members in harm’s way if the protests resume, and recompense to the TWU members who were subjected to this despicable conduct.”
“The TWU Security Officer, an African-American woman, managed to leave the building before the barricades went up,” he continued. “But she remains shaken by her encounter with the occupying protesters (aka privileged kids) who verbally attacked her in a very aggressive and extremely offensive manner.
“President Shafik, imagine for a moment being in the boots of the blue-collar Custodians and Security Officer. They came to work to earn a day’s pay so they could take care of their families and ended up being held against their will while being subjected to physical and verbal abuse,” Samuelsen also wrote. “Imagine yourself coming to work and being the victim of a serious crime because Columbia University didn’t care enough about you to engage in common sense protective measures.”
Columbia University did not immediately respond Thursday morning when asked by Fox News Digital to comment on the matter.
Los Angeles County Deputy Samuel Aispuro was shot because District Attorney George Gascón refused to lock up a violent serial criminal named Raymundo Duran

California police officer shot in back by criminal who should have been in jail: progressive DA’s challenger
By Louis Casiano
May 9, 2024
A known gang member with a long violent criminal history accused of shooting a Los Angeles County Sheriff’s deputy could have been kept behind bars if not for soft-on-crime policies by the region’s top prosecutor, his election opponent said.
Raymundo Duran, 47, who allegedly shot Deputy Samuel Aispuro in the back at a stop light while he was sitting on his marked sheriff’s department motorcycle on April 22 in West Covina, California, has been involved in a number of violent crimes, including two felony assaults that he committed while serving an 11-year sentence for manslaughter, according to court records.
Aispuro, a nearly 20-year veteran of the department, was wearing his bulletproof vest and survived the unprovoked attack.
In 2021, Duran was arrested after leading authorities on a car and foot chase in which he was charged with committing a hit-and-run, resisting arrest and fleeing from a police officer. Authorities were forced to collide with Duran’s vehicle to stop him before he briefly ran from the scene, authorities said.
Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón, a Democrat, could have had Duran imprisoned, but he was instead sentenced to probation as part of a plea deal, according to Gascón’s election challenger.
“Raymundo Duran, by all accounts, is a sociopath who has committed violent act after violent act for decades,” Nathan Hochman, a former federal prosecutor running as an independent to unseat Gascón, told Fox News Digital. “Unfortunately, the sentences that he’s received haven’t deterred him from committing additional violent conduct.”
“So, when George Gascón has his chance to deal with Mr. Duran and make it so he won’t be able to victimize others, he decides to go for the lowest sentences,” he added.
Gascón has faced harsh criticism from his own prosecutors as well as law enforcement and elected officials over his progressive criminal justice policies.
Jason Lustig, a deputy district attorney for Los Angeles County, said prosecutors have been demoralized after nearly four years under his boss.
“Everybody has just really been sickened over it,” he told Fox News Digital. “We have a front-row seat to seeing more victims adding up. We see it every day.”
At the time of his 2021 arrest, Duran was a four-time convicted felon wanted for a parole violation. He also has a 1996 conviction for domestic violence. In 2002, he was sentenced to 11 years in prison for stabbing his boss at a Jiffy Lube to death as part of a plea deal, Hochman noted.
In 2003, a year into his prison term, Duran assaulted a guard at Salinas Valley State Prison. He pleaded no contest in Monterey County Superior Court, court records state.
On Nov. 9, 2009, Duran stabbed another prisoner with a “shank,” a makeshift knife. He was sentenced to another four years after pleading guilty to assaulting a prisoner in a manner likely to cause great bodily injury.
After his release, he violated his parole, and in February 2022, he was arrested for unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon. The crime was punishable by six years in prison, but prosecutors entered into a plea deal with Duran, who was sentenced to two years, four months.
“In 2021, had he actually gotten a six-year sentence or longer, he wouldn’t have been in the place to have shot the gun at the deputy in West Covina,” Hochman said.
Fox News Digital has reached out to Gascón’s office.
Duran, who was in a 2008 Toyota Camry, was arrested in San Diego County hours after the ambush shooting. He is charged with first-degree attempted murder of a peace officer, assault against a peace officer, and being a felon in possession of a firearm.
“The senseless and unprovoked shooting of Deputy Samuel Aispuro is a stark reminder of the dangers our law enforcement officers face daily,” Gascón said days after the shooting. “Our office is committed to vigorously prosecuting the offender to the fullest extent of the law. Our thoughts are with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department and Deputy Aispuro as he recovers from this tragic incident.”
In Manhattan, a guy who stole an Israeli flag right out of the owner’s hands, and set it on fire, was released without bail. That last part is on you, Alvin Bragg. Shame on you.

Man busted at Columbia protest accused of burning Israeli flag
By Mira Wassef
May 2, 2024
NEW YORK (PIX11) — A man who was arrested during the Columbia University protests on Tuesday is also accused of stealing and burning an Israeli flag during a Manhattan protest last month, police and sources said Thursday.
James Carlson, 40, of Brooklyn, was arrested Wednesday and charged with criminal mischief, arson, and criminal possession of stolen property in connection to the April 20 incident, according to the NYPD.
Carlson allegedly took the 22-year-old man’s Israeli flag and lit it on fire during a protest near West 116th Street and Amsterdam Avenue at around 10 p.m., authorities said.
The victim followed Carlson and two accomplices into the crowd when one of the accomplices threw a rock at the man’s face, police said. The victim suffered minor injuries and refused medical attention at the scene.
The other two suspects have not been arrested, police said.
Sources said Carlson was among the protesters arrested at Columbia University Tuesday night. He was charged with criminal trespassing.
Carlson was arraigned in the flag and protest incidents on Thursday and released without bail, according to court records.
Authorities arrested nearly 300 people at protests at Columbia University or City College on Tuesday, according to Mayor Eric Adams.
More than 40% — roughly 130 — of those detained at the New York City campuses were not tied to the schools, according to a source close to the investigation. But the breakdown is much lower for Columbia, specifically, with just 29% of those arrested being unaffiliated with the school, the source said.
It was unclear if the unaffiliated arrests were considered “outside agitators.”
The criminals who vandalized the Portland State University library wore masks. Fortunately, the police published their names.

Police release names of 30 people arrested during PSU protest
By Adrian Thomas
May 3, 2024
ORTLAND, Ore. (KPTV) – The Portland Police Bureau has released the names of 30 people arrested Thursday as officers worked to clear out protesters who were occupying a library on the Portland State University’s campus.
Pro-Palestinian demonstrators began occupying the Millar Library on the PSU campus Monday evening. Police moved in Thursday morning in an effort to clear protesters from the library and the park area out front.
By 10:15 a.m. Thursday, police cleared out the library but protesters remained outside throughout much of the day.
FOX 12 witnessed police leave the area outside the PSU library just after 5 p.m. Soon after, protesters who had been gathered outside all day, began ripping down city barricades protecting the building. Seemingly attempting to re-enter the library and recreating their barricade to keep police out.
On Friday, in a letter to students PSU President Ann Cudd said, Millar Library would likely not re-open until the fall semester of 2024.
Cudd called the state of the library “unusable.”
“The library team is working to get remote services up and running and we are also endeavoring to identify and equip alternative study spaces throughout campus. Thank you to everyone on our facilities staff who has worked and will continue to work to bring our library back online. The building is not suitable for occupation, but we hope to reopen it in time for fall term,” wrote Cudd.
Police returned to PSU and arrested eight more people on Thursday night.
In total, officers arrested 30 people, including six PSU students, throughout the day Thursday.
Four of the 30 had their cases dropped. When asked about the reasons, DA Mike Schmidt’s office said two of those arrested were homeless and unaware police were there until their arrest. Additionally, two other people had their cases dropped because they voluntarily left the building after the police made the arrest announcement.

Columbia University protester Rudy Ralph Martinez said that the October 7, 2023 Hamas terrorist attack against Israel was “one of the greatest days of my life.”
Anti-Israel protester arrested at Columbia, CUNY raids declared Oct. 7 Hamas attack one of the ‘greatest days of my life’
By Joe Marino and Emily Crane
May 2, 2024
An anti-Israel protestor busted during the Columbia University and City College campus unrest once declared that the Oct. 7 Hamas terror attack was one of the “greatest days of my life,” police sources told The Post — as details on other arrestees’ violent pasts continued to emerge Thursday.
Rudy Ralph Martinez, 32, was among the 282 protesters and agitators who were cuffed and hauled away when the NYPD encountered unruly mobs during a crackdown on tent encampments at both schools late Tuesday.
Martinez, who was nabbed at CUNY’s Harlem campus on a burglary charge, is a serial protester on the anti-Israel front, according to law enforcement sources.
He was captured on camera praising Hamas during a New York City protest in December, video circulating on social media shows.
“One of the greatest days of my life,” a smirking Martinez said as he described the deadly Oct. 7 attack on Israel.
“Long live the resistance,” he added, according to the clip.
Martinez, who cops believe may be currently employed at CUNY after recently graduating from there, has an “extensive history” of protest-related arrests to his name that date back to California in 2012, sources said.
In the Big Apple alone, Martinez’s rap sheet includes a slew of arrests for disorderly conduct, resisting arrest, obstruction and refusal to disperse, according to the sources.
Stanford Jewish students on taking photo of man with Hamas headband on campus: ‘We were just in shock’

Stanford Jewish students on taking photo of man with Hamas headband on campus: ‘We were just in shock’
By Louis Casiano and Julia Bonavita
May 3, 2024
A viral image of a man on the Stanford University campus wearing a headband that looks similar to the one worn by Hamas terrorist fighters was taken by two Jewish students concerned the school has not cracked down enough on antisemitic behavior.
The two friends, who wished to remain anonymous for safety reasons, said they were walking near White Plaza, the center of the northern California campus where anti-Israel protesters have set up an encampment, on Friday when they spotted someone sitting down at a picnic table.
After moving closer to the unidentified person, they realized the headband he was wearing was the same type worn by members of the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas.
We were just in shock that somebody could be like that in the middle of our campus,” one of the students told Fox News Digital. “I only went up to take the photo because I was there with my friend.
“We thought about going up to him and saying something, but then we figured it wasn’t worth it and, if anything, it might just be dangerous.”
The image of the man sitting at the table wearing the green headband with Arabic writing and a face covering quickly made the rounds on social media, catching the attention of university administrators.
“We have received many expressions of concern about a photo circulating on social media of an individual on White Plaza who appeared to be wearing a green headband similar to those worn by members of Hamas,” the school said in a statement Wednesday. ”
We find this deeply disturbing, as Hamas is designated a terrorist organization by the United States government. We have not been able to identify the individual but have forwarded the photo to the FBI.”
I applaud and admire Al Sharpton for being willing to so harshly criticize his own side of the political spectrum. “How do the Democrats, how do all of us on that side say January 6 was wrong if you can have the same pictures going on on college campuses.”
Al Sharpton just said:

The Great Replacement is not just a conspiracy theory. It’s really happening. They took down the U.S. flag and replaced it with a Palestinian flag.
GoFundMe raises $400,000+ for UNC students who protected American flag during protests
By Harrison Grubb and Ashley Anderson
May 1, 2024
A GoFundMe established in recognition of UNC students who protected the campus’ American flag during Tuesday’s protest raised close to $300,000 in the first 12 hours.
As of 2 p.m. Thursday, the total has climbed to more than $427,000.
“When we went in, we said, we will not let the headline of this day be ‘An American flag falls at UNC,’” said freshman Jason Calderon, who was one of several students who held up the flag Tuesday.
Ongoing protests against the war in Gaza intensified on campus Tuesday. At one point, pro-Palestinian protesters replaced the American flag at the center of the quad with a Palestinian one.
After university administrators brought a new flag, protesters tried bringing that one down as well.
“My friends and I looked at each other and then said, ‘we should go over there,’” Calderon explained.
Calderon and several of his fellow students worked to prevent the flag from touching the ground, all the while he says he and others were pelted with objects by protesters.
“So many Americans in history have fought for the ideals of justice and freedom that that flag represents, and who are we if we don’t take some water balloons and take some yelling and chaos to reap the benefits of what they’ve sown for American society,” he said.
The GoFundMe was established Wednesday, hoping to benefit fraternities whose members protected the flag. Around 9,000 people donated in the first 12 hours, raising well over a quarter of a million dollars.
“So many people are seeing that UNC is a beacon of light,” said Calderon.
As the American flag was once again raised on the flag pole, the fraternities chanted “USA, USA, USA!” and sang the Star Spangled Banner as protesters chanted “down with fascists” and other chants which included expletives directed at UNC’s interim chancellor, Lee Roberts.
On campus, work is being done to make sure it won’t happen again. While the flagpole was surrounded by two layers of fencing after the protests Tuesday, the university has now put in a higher and more fortified boundary around the flag.
“It was really just inspirational for us to see everybody coming together and the chancellor coming in and saying, ‘as long as I’m chancellor that flag will stay up,’” Calderon said.
CBS 17 reached out to the fraternities named in the fundraiser but has not received a response yet.
This is from 2011, but it’s relevant to the current situation on U.S. college campuses. Which one of these stages is Columbia University currently at?
https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2011/05/the_five_stages_of_islam.html
The Five Stages of Islam
By Richard Butrick
May 29, 2011
Stage 1. Establish a Beachhead
Population density à 2% (US, Australia, Canada).
Muslims are conciliatory, deferential but request harmless special treatment (foot bath facilities, removal/elimination of that which is offensive to delicate Muslim sensibilities – like walking dogs near Mosques).
Stage 2. Establish Outposts
Population density 2% – 5% (UK, Germany, Denmark).
At 2% to 5%, they begin to proselytize other ethnic minorities and disaffected groups, often with major recruiting from the jails and among street gangs. A recent example is that of Sheikh Abdullah el-Faisal who is back in Jamaica after being kicked out of the UK.
Stage 3. Establish Sectional Control of Major Cities.
Population density 5% – 10% (France, Sweden, Netherlands).
First comes the demand for halal food in supermarkets, and the blocking of streets for prayers; then comes the demand for self rule (within their ghettos) under Sharia. When Muslims approach 10% of the population the demands turn to lawlessness. In Paris, we are already seeing car-burnings. Any criticism of Islam results in uprisings and threats, such as in Amsterdam. In France which may be over the 10% range, the minority Muslim populations live in ghettos, within which they are 100% Muslim, and within which they live by Sharia Law. The national police do not even enter these ghettos. There are no national courts, nor schools, nor non-Muslim religious facilities. In such situations, Muslims do not integrate into the community at large. The children attend madrassas. They learn only the Koran. To even associate with an infidel is a crime punishable with death.
Stage 4. Establish Regional Control.
Population density 20% – 50% (Europe 2020?).
After reaching 20%, nations can expect hair-trigger rioting, jihad militia formations, sporadic killings, and the burnings of Christian churches and Jewish synagogues.
Stage 5. Total Control, Brutal Suppression, and Dhimmitude.
Population density > 50%.
Unfettered persecution of non-believers of all other religions (including non-conforming Muslims), sporadic ethnic cleansing (genocide), use of Sharia Law as a weapon, and jizya, the tax placed on infidels. As Muslim population levels increase and all infidels cower in submission there will peace at last. Dar al-Islam is achieved and everyone lives under Sharia and the Koran is the only word.
Someone gave these 22 reasons to not vote for Trump. I will offer my own opinion on each of them.
Someone gave these 22 reasons to not vote for Trump.
I will offer my own opinion on each of them.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WiOBLqcNjBU
1) Trump promises to carry out the largest domestic deportation in history.
I agree with Trump.
2) Death sentence for human traffickers.
I agree with Trump.
3) Close the Department of Education.
I agree with Trump.
4) Put prayer back into school.
I disagree with Trump on this one.
5) Criminalize any race based advantage programs.
I agree with this one. But we already have it – it’s called the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
6) Ban any federal dollars for gender affirming care.
I agree with this to the degree that I’m against gender surgery or gender hormones for anyone under 18. There are a lot of detransitioners out there, and I think people under 18 are too young to make this decision.
I have no problem with it for adults. But even then, I’d prefer that the funding be at the state and local level.
So I’ll agree with Trump.
7) Term limits for Congress.
I agree with this.
8) Investigate the Biden crime family.
I agree that the “big guy” who gets a percentage of everything needs to be prosecuted.
9) Pardon the January 6th people.
I’m against pardoning the ones who committed violence or vandalism, which are real crimes with real victims.
I’m in favor of pardoning the peaceful ones, especially when there is security video which proves that the guards gave them permission to enter the building. No victim = no crime.
10) Increase the penalties for underage offenders.
I know that the Allderdice High School students who raped a girl at a Starbucks in Squirrel Hill in Pittsburgh were never arrested or charged. I think they should have been arrested and charged. And way too many armed teenage carjackers have avoided going to prison. I support locking them up as well. But this is a state and local issue, not a federal issue. So I disagree with Trump from a legal point, although I very much agree with him in principle.
11) Strengthen immunity for police officers.
I disagree with Trump on this. I think what we do need is more requirements that their body cameras are always turned on. I don’t trust eye witnesses. I do trust video proof.
12) Deploy the national guard to deploy woke cities.
I disagree with Trump on this one. Although I personally disagree with the policy where certain cities, such as San Francisco, New York City, and Washington D.C. refuse to lock up serial shoplifters, serial armed carjackers, and serial head punchers, I do support the right of the voters in those cities to have those policies.
13) Reassess our participation in NATO.
I agree.
14) Every European country should reimburse the U.S. for the military protection that we provide for them.
I agree.
15) Kill all e-vehicles and e-vehicle legislation.
I’d prefer that the federal government stay out of this. I don’t want it to support electric cars, but I don’t want it to try to stop them either.
16) Support flying cars.
I’m against this. It’s not practical. It’s too dangerous. It’s too expensive. It’s too noisy.
17) Remove limits on natural gas exports.
Since I support free trade, I agree with Trump.
18) Drill baby drill.
I support this, but only until we have enough nuclear power so that it’s no longer necessary.
19) Impose tariffs of up to 60% on Chinese imports.
I disagree with Trump on this. Tariffs almost always destroy far, far more jobs than they save.
20) Extend the 2017 tax cuts.
I agree.
21) Lower the corporate tax rate.
I agree.
22) Tax, fine, and sue university endowments, particular Harvard, and use the money to create a new, online college that is free of wokeness.
I disagree with this, because I’m against any federal involvement in education.
The person who created this list cites it as a reason to not vote for Trump.
But as quite a few other people have said, the list actually looks like a reason to vote for Trump.
This rape was completely preventable. Carl Jerome Hamilton should have already been locked up for life a long time ago. Shame on Nashville.
Convicted felon with 100+ past offenses arrested for raping, kidnapping Amazon delivery worker
By Ethan Illers
April 26, 2024
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) – A convicted felon, who has been charged with 105 offenses in Nashville since 2007, was arrested Friday for allegedly raping and kidnapping an Amazon delivery worker.
The Metro Nashville Police Department said 34-year-old Carl Jerome Hamilton is charged with aggravated rape, aggravated kidnapping, and robbery for allegedly attacking an Amazon delivery worker in the mailroom of an apartment building located in the 700 block of President Ronald Reagan Way.
The 25-year-old victim was delivering packages to the building at around 4 a.m. Friday, April 26, when Hamilton allegedly pushed her further into the mailroom and shut the door. He then demanded she remove her clothing and sexually assaulted her before forcing her to come with him to her delivery vehicle and drive to an ATM on Murfreesboro Pike, where he used her debit card to withdraw $100, according to investigators.
Hamilton then reportedly drove the victim around for nearly an hour before eventually leaving her and her car.
Officers reviewed surveillance video at the apartment building that showed clear pictures of the man committing the attack. As officers were about to leave the building, Hamilton – wearing the same clothing as seen in the surveillance video – passed by the front window and was immediately arrested, according to police.
Detectives said the apartment manager knew Hamilton by name because he was arrested at the property on March 5 and Jan. 2 for criminal trespassing.
Hamilton was also arrested for kidnapping and robbery in 2020 in connection with the assault of a 24-year-old woman on Academy Place. Investigators said he was convicted of those charges in July of 2022 and received a six-year sentence.
Mary Osako, please explain why UCLA hasn’t fired the security guard who stood by, watched, and did nothing to intervene, as masked terrorists prevented a Jewish student named Eli Tsives from entering the university.

This video from UCLA shows a security guard standing by, watching, and doing nothing to intervene, as masked terrorists prevented a Jewish student named Eli Tsives from entering the university.

After the video went viral, Mary Osako, the school’s Vice Chancellor for Strategic Communications, issued the following statement:
“Yesterday some physical altercations occurred among demonstrators in Royce Quad. In response, we have taken several actions to significantly increase our security presence, including adding greater numbers of campus law enforcement, safety personnel and student affairs monitors.”
“There was also a report of a student’s access to class being blocked by demonstrators yesterday. This kind of disruption to our teaching and learning mission is abhorrent, plain and simple. As such, we’ve taken several, immediate actions: Our student conduct process has been initiated, and could lead to severe disciplinary action including expulsion or suspension. The barriers that demonstrators used to block this student’s access to class have been removed and we have staff located around Royce Quad to help ensure that they will not go up again. We have also engaged law enforcement to investigate.”
“While the demonstration remains largely peaceful, our campus must remain a place where we treat one another with respect and recognize our shared humanity — not a place where we devolve into violence and bullying.”
So Osako said that the school will be “adding greater numbers of campus law enforcement, safety personnel and student affairs monitors.”
So the school plans to hire additional security guards, so they, too, can stand by, watch, and do nothing to intervene, when this kind of thing happens.
So here’s my question for Mary Osako:
Mary Osako, please explain why UCLA hasn’t fired the security guard who stood by, watched, and did nothing to intervene, as masked terrorists prevented a Jewish student named Eli Tsives from entering the university.
What a ridiculous lawsuit. If he hadn’t climbed over the fence, he would still be alive. This is 100% his own fault.

California college grad the 14th person to fall off ‘serial killer’ cliffs; family says death ‘preventable’
By Audrey Conklin
May 1, 2024
Over the last 30 years, 14 people, including three University of California, Santa Barbara, students, have fallen to their deaths from the same stretch of cliffs in Isla Vista, a neighborhood along the coast in Santa Barbara.
Jacob Parker, a 23-year-old UCSB alumnus who graduated last spring, became the 14th victim to fall off the cliffs’ edge while he was attending an afternoon party April 20 at one of the many houses that back up onto the bluffs.
… the 6-foot-1 Jake climbed over a 42-inch tall metal wire fence onto a 33-inch wide concrete ledge, bordered by an 18-inch tall metal rail along the cliff’s edge in an effort to make it to the gazebo. While trying to climb back over into the party, Jake lost his footing and fell about 50 feet to his death.
Deborah Parker and Jake’s father, George Parker, have described their son’s death as preventable — particularly after local lawmakers passed a safety plan in November requiring all new fences to be 6 feet tall following the death of 19-year-old UCSB student Benjamin “Benny” Schurmer on Labor Day last year.
Jake’s parents are pursuing criminal charges — including involuntary manslaughter — as well as a civil case related to their son’s death in the hope there will not be a 15th victim.

UCLA protesters block Jewish student from attending class: They want ‘mass genocide of Jews’
Eli Tsives joins ‘Fox & Friends’ after recording interaction with anti-Israel protesters
By Bailee Hill
April 30, 2024
A Jewish student at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), who was barred from attending class by anti-Israel protesters, spoke out after the incident as he and others fear for their safety on college campuses nationwide.
UCLA student Eli Tsives documented the interaction with the protesters and explained why he fears the pro-Palestinian sentiment will likely escalate further.
“I take the same path to class every single day, and when I got there, it was blocked off by the students, not a security guard, but by these students,” Tsives said on “Fox & Friends” Tuesday.
“I showed them my I.D., and I said, ‘This is the way I enter to class. Please let me in.’ When they refused, I quickly understood what was happening.”
“I had in my phone to my fellow Jewish friend and he started filming so we could document exactly what was happening,” he continued.
“You guys have closed the entrance. We are UCLA students. I have my I.D. right here. I’m being blocked off. Not by the security guard, but by you two, you three,” Tsives told the protesters during the video his friend recorded.
“This is what they do. Everybody look at this. Look at this. I’m a UCLA student. I deserve to go here,” he continued. “We pay tuition. This is our school, and they’re not letting me walk in.”
Tsives said he likely could have pushed his way through the anti-Israel protesters, but ultimately decided against doing so to shed light on the hateful sentiment on campus.
“We are for peace, and we will never barge through because we know that we’re better than them in that sense,” Tsives said. “Could I have? Absolutely, but I would rather have documented that, so we can show the world exactly what is going on in universities in the United States.”
FOX 11 Los Angeles reported fights broke out between pro-Israel and pro-Palestinain protesters over the weekend after a barrier was breached meant to separate the opposing groups.
“They constantly advocate for the destruction of our beautiful country,” Tsives said. “They burn the American flag. They are super anti-America. They are anti-our government. They’re anti-democracy, and shame on them… Shame on UCLA and shame on actually all college administrations for allowing them to continue what they’re doing.”
“Because this is no longer about freedom of speech,” he continued. “This is now straight up about promoting aggression and hatred against Jewish people.”
“Fox & Friends” co-host Brian Kilmeade asked Tsives if he thought the protesters were fully educated on the causes they were advocating for.
“I think that a lot of them do understand, and they still choose to say what they say,” Tsives responded. “We go to the number one public school in the world. These people are smart. They are educated. They know what they’re saying. They know what an intifada is.”
“They want an intifada. They want to see the mass genocide of Jews,” he continued.
Tsives admitted his parents are worried about his safety, and he is even concerned something could happen to him, since he is getting more attention for standing on behalf of his fellow Jewish students.
“I just think that this is the start of something that’s going to escalate very, very quickly,” he said. “Because my face is really getting out there, and I would not be surprised if somebody tried something in the next couple days.”
Tsives said someone wrote “shame on you” on a whiteboard where he lives, but despite the intimidation, he intends to continue the fight against antisemitism.
“People are starting to recognize my face. They know who I am. I see people looking at me in dirty ways, but also Jewish students walk up to me, and they thank me for what I’m doing,” Tsives said.
“So as long as I am constantly advocating for the Jewish people, I feel like we are getting somewhere. We’re doing good in this world.”
Cuban authorities sentence young mother to 15 years in prison for live streaming protest

Cuban authorities sentence young mother to 15 years in prison for live streaming protest
By Nora Gámez Torres
April 30, 2024
A young mother has been sentenced to 15 years in prison for transmitting videos on Facebook of a protest in Cuba, the latest example of the communist government’s heavy-handed policies to crack down on growing dissent amid worsening economic conditions.
Mayelín Rodríguez Prado, 23, was charged with “sedition” and disseminating “enemy propaganda” for publishing videos of a protest in the city of Nuevitas, in the central province of Camaguey, in August 2022. Another 12 demonstrators received sentences between 4 and 14 years in prison under similar charges, according to court documents shared by the Observatorio Cubano de Derechos Humanos, a human rights organization based in Madrid, over the weekend.
A year after anti-government protests spread throughout the island on July 11, 2021, the residents of Nuevitas took to the streets again during an electricity blackout, chanting, “Turn on the lights,” “Freedom,” and “The people are tired,” independent news outlet 14ymedio reported at the time.
Shortly after, Rodríguez Prado and other participants were arrested and detained for several months without charges. She is the mother of a toddler and was 21 at the time of her detention.
Most of the original videos posted by the Nuevitas demonstrators have been deleted.
“The harsh sentencing this week of up to 15 years in prison for Cubans who peacefully assembled in Nuevitas in 2022 is outrageous,” said Brian Nichols, assistant secretary for Western Hemisphere affairs at the U.S. State Department. “The Cuban government’s continued repression of Cubans striving to fulfill their basic rights and needs is unconscionable.”
The Cuban government prosecuted hundreds of people, including several mothers, seniors and minors, who participated in the July 11 demonstrations, meting out sentences of up to 30 years in prison. Despite an international outcry and diplomatic efforts, Cuban authorities have declined to release them, claiming they are not political prisoners.
The harsh sentences for the Nuevitas demonstrators, coming after more recent protests in Santiago de Cuba over the worsening deteriorated, suggest Cuban authorities are steadfast in their determination to crack down on opposition and civil unrest despite the backlash, out of fears the protests might continue.
Cuban independent journalists have also been targeted.
José Luis Tan Estrada, an independent journalist from Camaguey province, who had covered the detention of the Nuevitas demonstrators and revealed the poor conditions of healthcare facilities in that province, has been detained in Villa Marista, the Cuban state security prison in Havana, since Friday. Tan Estrada, a former professor at the University of Camaguey who was expelled for criticizing the government, was warned in April that he would be arrested if he continued reporting. At the time, an Interior Ministry official showed him a file with his posts on social media.
In recent years, the Cuban government has approved legislation turning what has been for decades a zero-tolerance policy for dissent and criticism of the government into law. As the government was finally forced to expand internet access on the island in recent years, it also made sure it could spy on people’s phones with the help of Chinese technology and made criticizing the government on social media a crime.
Decree-law 370, passed in 2019, makes it a crime to publish “information contrary to the public interest, morality, good manners and the integrity of the people” on social media. Two decrees passed in 2021 by the Ministry of Communications treat using social media to criticize the government as cyberterrorism. The new penal code approved in 2022 calls for prison sentences for people using vulgar language against top officials or publishing “fake news” and “propaganda against the Constitutional order.”
In its 2023 annual report on human rights around the world, the U.S. State Department said Cuban law “criminalized freedom of expression online, allowed the government to flag for removal social media posts critical of the government or government officials, listed criminal incitement through social media as an ‘aggravating circumstance”’to allow for harsher sentences, and increased penalties for slander and the use of social networks to organize protests.”
A question for Democrats: If the 2020 election wasn’t stolen, then how do you explain the Democrats in Fulton County inventing a bogus “burst pipe,” using it as an excuse to send Republican poll watchers and reporters home, and Democrats then going back inside to continue counting the votes?

A question for Democrats: If the 2020 election wasn’t stolen, then how do you explain the Democrats in Fulton County inventing a bogus “burst pipe,” using it as an excuse to send Republican poll watchers and reporters home, and Democrats then going back inside to continue counting the votes?
On the night of the election in November 2020, CBS News aired a TV report called “Pipe burst in Georgia delays vote counting.”
You can watch it here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C25DAAHZdEw
Also on the night of the election, ABC News tweeted: “The election department sent the ballot counters at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta home at 10:30 p.m., Regina Waller, the Fulton County public affairs manager for elections, tells ABC News.”
Here’s that tweet:
https://twitter.com/abcpolitics/status/1323846118208376834
However, official security video footage shows that after the Republican poll watchers and news reporters left the room where votes had been counted, a few election workers stayed behind and continued counting votes.
And there is no visible water leak in the video.
You can see that video footage here:

At least 15 women were raped because Boston refused to lock up a violent serial criminal named Alvin Campbell, who was the brother of Boston city council member Andrea Campbell when these rapes happened.

Boston police failed to arrest ‘serial rapist’ for years despite DNA evidence
By Walter Wuthmann
April 22, 2024
It started off like countless other Uber rides in downtown Boston.
A group of friends piled into a car after hanging out at a bar. Then, they started arguing. Most of the friends got out at their hotel, and the man offered to drive the remaining rider around to “collect herself.”
But when the woman asked the driver to drop her back off at the hotel, he refused.
Instead, he took her to his apartment in Dorchester that Saturday in July 2016 and sexually assaulted her, police alleged in court records.
A DNA test identified the suspect as Alvin Campbell Jr., a burly 43-year-old with a long criminal history and a prominent relative. Campbell is the brother of Andrea Campbell, then a Boston city councilor and now the state’s attorney general.
Despite the DNA evidence, Alvin Campbell was never arrested or charged in connection with the encounter. And police never alerted the public.
Over the next two years, a WBUR investigation found, three more women shared similar stories with police about a man who assaulted them after offering them rides at Boston bars. In each case, DNA and other evidence pointed to Alvin Campbell, according to an application for a search warrant obtained by WBUR. And each time, authorities decided not to detain him or seek criminal charges.
Boston police finally arrested Campbell in early 2020 after a fifth woman reported she was raped. At that point, investigators made a horrifying discovery. They found evidence on his phone indicating he had sexually assaulted at least 10 additional women since the first incident in 2016.
Campbell grew up in Roxbury and graduated from a vocational high school there. According to interviews and other public records, Campbell spent much of his adult life cycling in and out of state and federal prison for physical assaults and gun convictions.
In court, prosecutors and police allege Campbell preyed on intoxicated women at downtown Boston bars for at least three years, often posing as a ride-hailing driver.
Why didn’t Diablo Valley College ethics professor Eric Clanton get any prison time for hitting seven Trump supporters in the head with a metal bike lock?

This video shows a masked Antifa thug using a metal bike lock to smash the head of an innocent Trump supporter at Berkeley, California, in April 2017:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9qKCl9NL1Cg
Some awesomely talented amateur sleuth observers at 4chan later identified the thug based on his partially visible face, his clothing, and several other things.
Any one of these things by itself is pretty meaningless. But taken together, it is extremely likely that they identified the correct person.
For specific details, see here, here, here, here, here, here, and here.
The police also did their own investigation, and when they searched the person’s house, they found clothing and other items that matched that of the person in the video. Phone records also show that the person was present during the assault.
And it turned out that the thug is left wing Diablo Valley College ethics professor Eric Clanton.
Clanton supports shoplifting, opposes private ownership of property, and has defended convicted cop killer Mumia Abu-Jamal.
It was later reported that Clanton would not be getting any prison time for his brutal assaults against seven innocent Trump supporters.
The news reported that Clanton used the metal bike lock to assault the heads of at least seven people.
The news also detailed the evidence the police found in Clanton’s home tying him to these attacks.
It’s completely despicable that Clanton did not get any prison time for what he did.
