For @Braineack, who believes that all democrats are pedophiles, and all pedophiles are democrats:


Pennsylvania state senator charged with possession of child pornography on his cellphone


Pennsylvania state Sen. Mike Folmer (R-Lebanon) speaks at a Capitol news conference to announce the launch of Pennsylvania's patient and caregiver registry in its forthcoming medical marijuana program, Nov. 1, 2017, in Harrisburg, Pa. (Marc Levy)

September 18 at 9:23 AM

Republican state Sen. Mike Folmer was charged with possession of child pornography on Tuesday night after authorities said they discovered images of child pornography on his cellphone.

The charges against Folmer include sexual abuse of children, possession of child pornography and criminal use of a communication facility.

The married grandfather of seven was caught as the result of a tip that popular blogging site Tumblr found that a user had uploaded an image of child pornography using its application, officials said. They said the tip eventually led investigators to Folmer’s home in Lebanon, Pa., where they executed a search warrant and found child pornography images on his cellphone.

Folmer told authorities he received child pornography images through his Tumblr blog and that he was experiencing “some personal problems,” according to the Patriot-News’s review of charging documents.

Yes, because arresting people for using the wrong social media service is clearly the best way to preserve individual liberty.

For @Braineack, who continues to insist that broadcast news claims to be somehow comparable to responsible journalism:

click to play



Speaking only for this one particular TV station, we do not in any way claim to take anything seriously at all.

(Also, serious note: pay attention to the background music and SFX. We have some killer A1s at this place. They do that kind of stuff all day every day, unscripted and unrehearsed.)

In what can only be described as a puzzling arrangement, China is supplying police officers and cameras with facial-recognition systems to Serbia, of all places.

Except that the UTEP burglary was dismissed after they decided not to press charges, and the misdemeanor DWI was dismissed after a diversion program. Don't take me pointing out the incredible inaccuracy of the meme as support for him.

two random quotes:

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.

It's almost like politicians say whatever they want to get the most votes at the time:

TIL it's not a "hate crime" when a bunch of black thugs violently target white people.

https://nationalfile.com/police-clai...FiHWlAGdOaQGOQ

Police Claim Brutal Unprovoked Attacks in Minneapolis Were NOT Hate Crimes

CCTV Footage Showing Gang Attack Man Without Provocation Won't be Treated as a Hate Crime


A viral video made the rounds on social media where a gang of men attack an ostensibly intoxicated white man without provocation.

As National File reported on September 12, a gang of black males beat, kicked, jumped on, used a bicycle to run over, stripped, and robbed a man in a shocking video caught on CCTV.

Twenty were arrested and eighteen were charged in relation with the brutal assault–but it is not being treated as a hate crime as it doesn’t meet the criteria.

...
get ready to gag
“Many of these juveniles that are affected by this are part of just coming out of incarceration and they don’t have any hope at home, there’s nothing there, and so they come downtown where there’s a little bit of everything and they’re waiting on somebody to prey on,” said V.J. Smith, founder of MAD DADS Minneapolis.

The organization is an outreach group that fills downtown every weekend. They will do everything from break up fights to feed people, but most importantly be the adult figure at-risk youth might be missing in their lives. Many of those arrested for the robberies are juveniles who MAD DADS workers have interacted with.

“These people in the community that are doing this, we have to have some consequences for this, but we also have to get to the heart of it. What’s wrong? What’s your problem? Is it education? Is it mental health? What is it and let’s treat it and let’s fix it,” he said.

After the recent arrests, police said robberies dropped to just three in one week earlier this month. Regardless, Bhakta plans to keep his guard up.

“It’s still challenging to feel, like, safe, because I’m always kind of vigilant about my surroundings, and if something doesn’t happen to me, it might happen to someone else and just being aware of that,” Bhakta said.
