This may be better than our anti-black people law

https://weartv.com/amp/news/local/escam ... n-the-road

Of course there will be exceptions for politicians waving signs and trying to draw attention to themselves before an election.
Yep, this newly proposed law won’t be applied to “legitimate” used of roadways by pedestrians; it’s just that those homeless thugs spoil our image and the view.

“ They are looking to prohibit people from interfering with the flow of traffic.

Escambia County Commissioner Jeff Bergosh says people in the medians and roadways can distract drivers. He says he's seen the problem firsthand on county roads.

"There was a young man standing right in the middle of the road walking up and down between the cars and if anyone didn’t give him something attention money food. He was flipping them off. Giving them the one finger salute," Escambia County Commissioner Jeff Bergosh said.

Penalties for violating the proposed county ordinance include $500 in fines or up to 60 days in the county jail.”

That’ll show ‘em.

I’m not sure what Jeff imagined he saw, but with the amount of driving I do, it’s hard for me to imagine that I wouldn’t have seen similar behavior if it were true.

The Proud Boys are collapsing: Surprise! Legal consequences do hurt authoritarian movements
Despite fears that accountability will make MAGA more powerful, a new report shows it weakens the far-right

... The data on the Proud Boys, while incomplete, does a good job of showing how this works. Even while their leaders were under indictment, the Proud Boys could tell themselves a story about how they were a mighty force, able to commit crimes in broad daylight without paying the penalty for it. As soon as their leaders went to prison, however, their members beat a fast retreat. They may be yelling at each other on Telegram about all the liberals they want to "trigger," but they aren't as keen anymore on going out in public to start fights. Odds are high that something similar will happen if Trump's aura of invincibility is penetrated by serious consequences, like a criminal conviction. His supporters who currently worship him like a god will be reminded he's just a man — and a whiny one who smells like a butt, at that.

Even more importantly, we should not flinch from holding Trump accountable because otherwise, it's an invitation to fascists to go even further. As Brian Beutler wrote in a recent newsletter, "It’s necessary in the face of corrosive threats to jettison facts and turn all of politics and law into a contest of will to abuse power." Yes, perhaps we lose if we put up a fight against fascism. But we've already lost if we roll over and let the criminals run free.

I would feel safer if the FBI spent less time inventing terror plots.

Judge orders release of 'Newburgh Four' defendant and blasts FBI's role in terror sting


FILE - In this Thursday, May 21, 2009 picture, James Cromitie, center, is led by police officers from a federal building in New York after being arrested on charges related to a bombing plot in the Bronx. Cromitie, convicted in a post-9/11 terrorism sting was ordered freed from prison, Friday, Jan. 19, 2024, by a judge who criticized the FBI for relying on an "unsavory” confidential informant who sought the “poorest and weakest” men in a fictitious plot to blow up New York synagogues and shoot down National Guard planes.

... U.S. District Judge Colleen McMahon on Friday granted James Cromitie, 58, compassionate release from prison six months after she ordered the release of his three co-defendants, known as the Newburgh Four, for similar reasons. The four men from the small river city 60 miles (97 kilometers) north of New York City were convicted of terrorism charges in 2010.

Cromitie has served 15 years of his 25-year minimum sentence. The New York-based judge ordered Cromitie’s sentence to be reduced to time served plus 90 days.

Judge Colleen McMahon was appointed by Bill Clinton.

... In a scathing ruling, McMahon wrote that the FBI invented the conspiracy and identified the targets. Cromitie and his co-defendants, she wrote, “would not have, and could not have, devised on their own a crime involving missiles that would have warranted the 25-year sentence the court was forced to impose."

"The notion that Cromitie was selected as a ‘leader’ by the co-defendants is inconceivable, given his well-documented buffoonery and ineptitude," she wrote.

Cromitie was bought into the phony plot by the federal informant Shaheed Hussain, whose work has been criticized for years by civil liberties groups.

McMahon called him “most unsavory” and a “villain” sent by the government to “troll among the poorest and weakest of men for ‘terrorists’ who might prove susceptible to an offer of much-needed cash in exchange for committing a faux crime.” ...

Dear U.S. Attorney Parker,

Will you allow the Southern District of Ohio to be used as a platform for inciting political violence? Ex-President Trump has crossed the line. A Taliban or ISIS member using these exact words would clearly be arrested. To allow Trump to skate would be racial and religious bigotry.

Arrest Trump for these terrorist threats, gag him and lock him up.
Any donors are providing material support for terrorism.
Any endorsers are abetting terrorism.
Any MAGA or Ohio Republican Senate candidate Bernie Moreno voters are terrorists.

America needs you, please act now. I eagerly await your reply.

Thank you,

Russia detains suspects in an attack that left at least 115 dead in a Moscow concert hall

It hits me a little harder when it's a rock concert like Paris and now Moscow. Coulda been me. Je suis Moscow. The Russian band's name is Picnic. This show was anything but

Plenty of MSM we're all seeing so I won't rehash much, but there is one aspect:

... A U.S. intelligence official told the AP that U.S. intelligence agencies had gathered information in recent weeks that the IS branch was planning an attack in Moscow, and that U.S. officials had privately shared the intelligence earlier this month with Russian officials.

I have heard plenty of reporting on that. Supposedly, Americans were warned to avoid crowds and concerts on March 7. I had not heard about this, though:

... Putin, who extended his grip on Russia for another six years in this week’s presidential vote after a sweeping crackdown on dissent, had publicly denounced the Western warnings of a potential terrorist attack as an attempt to intimidate Russians. “All that resembles open blackmail and an attempt to frighten and destabilize our society,” he said earlier this week....

Wow, monumental screw-up. Too bad there's no free press in Russia.
