The Better Way I’m told.
Crime
All 3 suspects have attributes described as “Puffy”
Two males and a female are being sought after a woman was assaulted and slashed in the face at Spadina Station on Sunday evening.
Toronto Police say the incident happened around 6:35 p.m. when the woman got into “a verbal dispute with three individuals not known to her.”
The knife-wielding male is described as 5-foot-10 and 140 pounds with a slim build and black puffy hair. He was wearing a grey jacket with a fur hood, a grey sweater, a blue mask, grey sweat pants, and black running shoes.
The second male is 16-19 years old, 5-foot-7 and 130 pounds with a slim build and short black puffy hair. He was wearing a black winter jacket, a grey hooded sweater, black jeans, black and white running shoes, and a white mask
The female is aged 14 to 17 and 5-foot-4 and 120 pounds with long black hair in a pony tail, a black puffy jacket, grey sweat pants, and white and black running shoes. She was carrying a large brown leather purse with gold straps.
‘Salacious’ allegations against Epstein associates to be unsealed: report
A final batch of court documents related to pedophile Jeffrey Epstein’s associates and “salacious” allegations against them could be released in the coming weeks — some four years after the disgraced financier’s death, a report claims.
The documents will name at least one “public figure” and will be made public within the coming months, according to a filing reviewed by the DailyMail.
The records are likely to reveal hundreds of “alleged perpetrators” and individuals accused of “serious wrongdoings,” as well as Epstein’s victims and employees.
Large amount of cash found in Honey and Barry Sherman’s wallets ruled out a break-in
Barry Sherman had $372 in his wallet when he died. Honey Sherman’s wallet was stuffed with $7,500, possibly from a visit to an ATM shortly before she was killed.
Sources say cash discovered at the crime scene explains why a homicide detective went to great lengths to calm fears in the neighbourhood shortly after the bodies were found. It was unlikely their deaths were a break-in gone wrong.
Former Liberal MP Raj Grewal seeks dismissal of breach of trust charges due to lack of evidence
A former Liberal MP is seeking the dismissal of two criminal charges connected to his time in office.
Raj Grewal’s lawyer argues that prosecutors have not presented enough evidence to find him guilty of the two breach of trust charges, and the Crown has failed to establish essential elements required for such a finding.
The Crown has sought to prove that Grewal used his political office for personal gain, offering access to events with the prime minister and help with immigration files in exchange for large loans that went toward his gambling debt.
Family of Idaho murder victim Ethan Chapin question why surviving roommate Dylan Mortensen didn’t call the cops after hearing ‘crying and screaming’
A family member of murdered University of Idaho student Ethan Chapin has questioned why the roommate who survived the slayings didn’t call the police.
An account believed to belong to Ethan’s sister-in-law made several posts online before the arrest affidavit was unsealed for suspected quadruple killer Bryan Kohberger.
The court document detailed how surviving roommate Dylan Mortensen came face to face with a masked man on the night of the murders.
“Unaccompanied Child” Allowed in by Biden Strangled American Girl
The MS-13 gang member strangled 20-year-old Kayla Hamilton to death months after being released into the United States.
The missing persons conundrum. An underreported tragedy
The Boston Globe ran a very good deep-dive yesterday into one aspect of American law enforcement that tragically impacts far too many families and for which there don’t seem to be any obvious solutions. Hanna Krueger examined the phenomenon of missing persons and the scattershot way that police departments across the country investigate and very often fail to solve such cases.
Blaming White Racism
The killing of Tyre Nichols is a horrific continuation of American black-on-black crime.
Many commenters on the Left have situated the arrest of Tyre Nichols—the black man who was evidently beaten to death by five Memphis police officers, also black—as a racial issue. White supremacy, they say, does not require the presence of white people to effect its ugliness, because black people—especially those working in a structurally racist institution such as policing—internalize the racist attitudes of whites. There is, according to these pundits, a close parallel between the Nichols case and other abuse cases involving white cops and black victims, because many blacks absorb racist views about blacks and enact them against their own race as enforcers of white supremacy.
Video shows moment California doctor run over then stabbed by man ‘muttering about white privilege’
Horrifying surveillance footage captured the moment a bicycle-riding California doctor was mowed down by a car at a busy Dana Point intersection – followed by the driver exiting his vehicle and allegedly stabbing him to death.
Ring camera footage from a nearby home shows Dr. Michael John Mammone, 58, flying over the hood of a white Lexus on the Crown Valley Parkway intersection on the Pacific Coast Highway around 3 p.m. Wednesday afternoon.
Officials previously confirmed the suspect, Vanroy Evan Smith, 39, then got out of his car brandishing a knife, and inflicted more injuries upon Mammone.
San Francisco Sheriff Flooded With Concealed Carry Permit Applications
‘I was never a gun guy,’ the applicant said, ‘but it’s getting alarming.’
After receiving only a handful of applications for permits to carry a concealed weapon in the past decade, the city of San Francisco is being flooded with them as property crime skyrockets. Last week, the first of those applications was finally approved.
Following the Supreme Court’s ruling last year in the Bruen case, which made it easier for gun owners to get concealed carry permits, it is now much easier for residents of San Francisco to obtain a license to carry weapons in public. That right may be short-lived, however, as the state moves to rewrite gun laws to comply with the court’s ruling.
The Anti-Gun Violence Hustle
Philadelphia and other cities suffering from surging gun deaths are pumping hundreds of millions of dollars into solutions that don’t work
In a recent mayoral debate at St. Joseph’s University in Philadelphia, Helen Gym, who had been an outspoken opponent of increasing the city’s policing budget in 2020, called gun violence the “single greatest threat to everything that we have ever hoped for in this city.”
Gun violence is ravaging Philadelphia, just as it is Rochester, Indianapolis, Columbus, Louisville, Austin, and six other major cities that suffered record-breaking homicides in 2021—a crisis that shows little sign of waning. Philadelphia has something else in common with those cities: Its officials have poured hundreds of millions of dollars into anti-violence initiatives that have failed to make a dent in the surging levels of violence. It’s a very American approach to a very American problem, as politicians pump money into opaque social initiatives that provide jobs to midlevel bureaucrats who fail to do anything at all.
“Everybody can get a grant, everybody gets paid,” said Jamal Johnson, a former Marine and anti-violence activist in Philadelphia. “It’s the new hustle.”
This sounds awfully like Toronto.
5 Black Cops and Walking — No, Running — in Memphis
Our society does Black Americans no favors by reacting to each of these tragedies by screaming “Racism!”
OK with you, the reader, if I have a different take on the Tyre Nichols killing in Memphis?
First, for the record: the guy sustained a criminally wrongful death, and the family should sue and collect a bundle from that wonderful liberal city that has had only one Republican mayor in the past 55 years. In 2020, Memphis had the second-worst crime record in the United States and was beaten only by Detroit. By the following year, Memphis had improved to being the No. 1 most dangerous city in America. Go Grizzlies! According to more recent FBI data, the total crime rate in Memphis is 237 percent higher than the national rate and 150 percent higher than the state’s crime rate.
An alleged $500 million Ponzi scheme preyed on Mormons. It ended with FBI gunfire.
LAS VEGAS — The FBI arrived at the only house on this stretch of Ruffian Road at 1:25 p.m., parking out front of the $1.6 million property, hedged by empty lots of scrub and dust.
The three agents approached the camera-equipped doorbell at the home’s perimeter, pressing it once. Then they pushed past an unlocked gate, cut through the courtyard and rapped against the glass French doors of Matthew Beasley’s home.
The Las Vegas attorney, then 49, had been anticipating this visit for months, he would tell an FBI hostage negotiator. He’d already drafted letters to his wife and four children, explaining what he could and describing how much he loved them.
They were promised 50% returns. How could that be suspicious?
Judge orders Sam Bankman-Fried to steer clear of FTX employees
A Manhattan federal judge on Wednesday ordered accused crypto schemer Sam Bankman-Fried not to contact any current or ex-employees of FTX, his former digital currency company, while he is out on bail in the sprawling fraud case.
Judge Lewis Kaplan issued the order at the request of federal prosecutors and will hear arguments from Bankman-Fried’s attorneys about the restrictions during a hearing on Feb. 7.
In a letter to Kaplan, prosecutors revealed that Bankman-Fried sent a message to FTX’s current general counsel on the encrypted messaging app Signal weeks after he was indicted in Manhattan federal court.
This was a blatant attempt to influence a witness, Sammy must still think he is untouchable.
