/0 Comments/in , /by

By The Blaze. Video showing a police officer allegedly punching a naked Harvard University student who was reportedly hallucinating on drugs has led to a use-of-force investigation, WBZ-TV reported.

Police arrested 21-year-old student Selorm Ohene in response to 911 calls that Ohene was naked in the street throwing clothes at bystanders. He was charged with indecent exposure, disorderly conduct, assault, resisting arrest, and assault and battery . . .

When Cambridge Police Department officers arrived on the scene, they found Ohene standing naked on a traffic island. According to the police report, Ohene clenched his fists and began walking toward officers, who grabbed him by the legs and took him down.

A witness was recording video of the incident, and it shows an officer punching Ohene several times, according to Cambridge Mayor Marc McGovern, who called the video “disturbing.”

“We have high standards for our police officers in Cambridge,” McGovern said in a statement. “In most cases, the extensive training our officers go through results in the deescalation of dangerous situations. When confrontations cannot be averted and include use of physical force, we must be willing to review our actions to ensure that our police officers are providing the highest level of safety for all.” (Read more from “Officer Allegedly Punches Naked, Hallucinating Harvard Student and Is Now Under Investigation” HERE)

Woman Calls Cops on Man at the Park Because of His Pro-Gun Shirt

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Bizpac Review. A Texas woman called the police when she became suspicious of a man at a children’s’ playground.

But the man, a father who was there with his own two daughters, had done nothing wrong except wear a T-shirt that offended the woman.

Troy Johnston, who was at a Benbrook playground where his four and six-year old daughters were playing, was legally and openly carrying his firearm on a holster on his hip, according to Blue Lives Matter. But it wasn’t the gun that set the woman off, it was Johnston’s shirt which read, “I’ll control my guns, you control your kids.”

. . .

A man and his family reportedly approached Johnston a short time after he had been there letting the father know a woman was “fuming” over Johnston’s shirt and the fact that he was armed.

“I thanked him for letting me know, and continued playing with my kids,” Johnson said, before another family approached him and asked to read what his shirt said. (Read more from “Woman Calls Cops on Man at the Park Because of His Pro-Gun Shirt” HERE)

Woman Calls Police Over Man Wearing Pro-Gun T-Shirt at Park

By Blue Lives Matter. A short while later, another man and his family approached Johnston, and asked to read his shirt, he said.

Johnston showed him his shirt, at which point the man warned him that his father-in-law had just been harassed by woman in the parking lot, and that she was contacting police regarding Johnson’s attire.

The man told Johnston that he didn’t know “what was wrong with her,” and that he actually “felt more secure knowing there was someone there that would protect them,” Johnston said.

Although he had intended to leave prior to his conversation with the second man, Johnston said he opted to wait for police once he became aware that they had likely been called to the area.

According Benbrook Police Department (BPD) Corporal J. Reese, a woman contacted the department at approximately 3:21 p.m., and reported a “suspicious person” with a “gun holstered to his chest,” was wearing a shirt that read “You control your kids, I’ll control my guns.” (Read more from “Woman Calls Police Over Man Wearing Pro-Gun T-Shirt at Park” HERE)

Planned Parenthood’s Cecile Richards Attacks Ivanka Trump for Refusal to Support Planned Parenthood

/0 Comments/in , /by

By The Daily Wire. . .Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards, interviewed by associate editor Stephanie Eckardt of W magazine, stated regarding Ivanka Trump’s refusal to support Planned Parenthood, “For God’s sake, you can’t be trading away women’s rights.” . . .

You heard that right: for God’s, according to the leader of the leading organization for murdering the innocents God creates before they can draw their first breath.

That revelation came on Monday as W magazine published a piece on the “problem of Ivanka Trump.” Richards was speaking about an off-the-record meeting with Ivanka first mentioned in her new memoir, Make Trouble. Richards stated in the book that at the meeting, Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner were “bartering” and “almost” bribing her to eliminate Planned Parenthood’s abortion “services.” (Read more from “Planned Parenthood’s Cecile Richards Attacks Ivanka Trump for Refusal to Support Planned Parenthood” HERE)

Planned Parenthood Prez Leaks ‘Off-The-Record’ Abortion Meet With Ivanka

By Newsbusters. . .On Tuesday, Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards’ new memoir, Make Trouble, became available to the public. The book comes a month before Richards plans to step down from her position at Planned Parenthood after 12 years. Towards the end of her new work, Richards detailed an “off-the-record” meeting with Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner which left her feeling like they were “bribing” and “bartering” with her on abortion.

Following President Donald Trump’s transition into office, a “friendly acquaintance in the fashion industry” put Richards in touch with daughter Ivanka.

Even though Richards wasn’t “feeling optimistic” and doubted having an “honest, off-the-record conversation with anyone in the administration,” she decided to go through with it in February 2017. (Speaking of “off-the-record,” Planned Parenthood appears to have been the first to speak to press about it.)

After she found out Jared Kushner would accompany Ivanka, Richards “begged” her husband, Kirk Adams, to attend as a “witness.” On their way to a Trump golf course in New Jersey, Richards was so “terrified” of running into one of her staffers or supporters that she hid in her car when they stopped at a “nearby Panera” for coffee.

And the conversation Richards had with Jared and Ivanka was anything but secret – in her memoir, at least. (Read more from “Planned Parenthood Prez Leaks ‘Off-The-Record’ Abortion Meet With Ivanka” HERE)

WATCH: Couple Hog-Tie Man They Allege Was Propositioning Woman’s 13-Year-Old Daughter. Now They May Face Charges.

/0 Comments/in , /by

By The Daily Wire. A Canadian couple in British Columbia may be charged with assault because they lured a 28-year-old man who they say was propositioning the woman’s 13-year-old daughter to their home, where they knocked him down and then hog-tied him with zip ties.

The couple lured the man to their Port Alberti, British Columbia, home last Thursday by having the woman pretend to be her daughter and message the man to invite him to her home to have sex with her. The woman said when the man showed up at her door, she knocked him down with a punch; her husband and a male friend then restrained him and tied his hands up . . .

The couple filmed a Facebook Live video, seen below, as the woman called the man a “predator” and alleged police refused to go to the house for the “meeting.” A female voice on the video states, “He came to my house to meet my 13-year-old f*****g daughter to f*** her. We f*****g tackled him and zap-strapped him and called the police. Because earlier today when I asked the police to come here for this meeting, they said no. Why wouldn’t the police come and help me catch this predator that just came to my f*****g house?”

Canadian police said they responded to a disturbance that left a man tied up as “a result of vigilante actions.” The man was freed of the zip ties, then taken to the hospital by police. He has not been charged.

Meanwhile, the couple was arrested, along with their male friend, and could be charged with assault resulting in bodily harm and forcible confinement, according to CHEK News.

‘Vigilante’ Parents Could Be Facing Charges After Allegedly Hogtying Man Propositioning Daughter, 13

By SF Gate. Two parents, who took matters into their own hands against a man they say was propositioning their 13-year-old daughter, may now be charged with assault after apparently restraining that man with zip ties when he turned up at their Canada home. . .

Canadian police confirmed parts of the account, telling news outlets that they responded to a disturbance that left a man tied up as “a result of vigilante actions.” The man was then freed of his restraints and taken to the hospital by police, and has not been charged. . .

The parents defended their actions against the man, saying they discovered the 28-year-old was sending her daughter “explicit messages” via Instagram over a month ago. The mother told news outlets that they told the police about the messages but were told to block the man’s account and forget about it.

“They wouldn’t even look at my phone,” the mother told CTV News. “I’ve been waiting for six weeks for the police to give me a name behind the Instagram account.” (Read more from “‘Vigilante’ Parents Could Be Facing Charges After Allegedly Hogtying Man Propositioning Daughter, 13” HERE)

Former NFL Cheerleader Says She Was Discriminated Against Because She’s Christian

/0 Comments/in , /by

. . .Kristan Ann Ware filed a complaint to the Florida Commission on Human Relations claiming she “faced hostility and retaliation from Dolphins cheerleading coaches and was discriminated against on behalf of her gender and religion,” according to The Washington Post.

Ware alleged that, in a conversation with her fellow cheerleaders, she said that she was a virgin and was waiting until marriage for sex because of her Christian faith. At her end-of the-year review, the cheerleading team director and the team’s choreographer reportedly told her not to discuss her virginity with the other cheerleaders.

“My virginity got brought up,” she explained to the Post, “and I said, ‘You know I am waiting for marriage,’ and they said, ‘Well, as far as we’re concerned, you’ve taken something that was once upon a time pure and beautiful and you’ve made it dirty.’” . . .

“After being exposed, and having my virginity [cast] in a negative way, I felt so vulnerable,” Ware told the Washington Post. “It kind of crushed my spirit to change into a bikini after that comment was made. It took a piece of me.”

Ware informed the Dolphins human resources department but said the abusive treatment from coaches continued, noting that even a blog post she had written for the Dolphins had all mentions of her faith, except a general reference to God, removed.

Feminists Are Outraged Because of a Sex-Trafficking Site Closing Down?

/0 Comments/in , /by

To the horror of many across the political spectrum, Women’s March is calling the shutdown of a site convicted of trafficking women and children for sex a “crisis” for sex workers.

Writing on its Twitter page Saturday, Women’s March – a group that spearheaded protest marches around the world the day after President Trump’s January 2017 inauguration – said, “The shutting down of #Backpage is an absolute crisis for sex workers who rely on the site to safely get in touch with clients. Sex workers rights are women’s rights.” . . .

“We’re all still learning and as always, we have to listen to the voices of those most impacted,” the group said, using the hashtag #SexWorkIsWork.

Lisa Thompson, vice president for policy and research at the Washington-based National Center on Sexual Exploitation, blasted the group on Twitter upon hearing the news: “Prostitution is ground zero for #VAW (violence against women). There is no such thing as safe prostitution. Prostitution is THE bastion of misogyny. Stop defending men who buy women (and children and men).”

Likewise, Marian Hatcher, who was once a victim of trafficking and is presently the senior project manager and human trafficking coordinator at the Cook County Sheriff’s Office, was repulsed. Hatcher was actively involved in the advocacy for the anti-sex trafficking bill known as FOSTA-SESTA that Congress recently approved and President Trump is expected to sign this week.

Popular Youtuber Attacks Christian Teen

/0 Comments/in , /by

You’d be forgiven for never having heard of YouTuber Cinnamon Toast Ken. According to YouTube.Wikia, he’s risen to internet fame by uploading gaming videos. He has also (somehow) managed to garner over 3 million followers on Twitter, despite posting some despicable cyberbullying videos, including one mocking a teen girl because of her love for Jesus.

In one video titled, “Crazy Girl Obsessed With Jesus,” Ken relentlessly picks on Christian YouTuber Emma Mae Jenkins, mocking her appearance and scoffing at her religious convictions . . .

In one of her video blogs, Emma Mae Jenkins explained her morning routine, which consists of prayer and worship.

I get bullied because of how much I am so recklessly in love with Jesus. I get laughed at for the way that I smile, and I get mocked for how my voice sounds…but to be a daughter of the King//to be a child of God means to love those who hate you. It means to pray for those who persecute you. It means to bless those who curse you. I would not be living the life worthy of the calling that God has called me to live if I only loved those who love me in return. To be a beloved of the Most High means to pick up my cross and follow Him because He loved us all expecting nothing in return. I am smiling in such humble response to the joy that the Lord has overflowed my cup with!! New blog post up about the sweet grace that has called us to live a higher standard and love unconditionally in JOY! The link is in my bio and I pray that this blesses your heart! I surely do love you!!❤️

A post shared by 💗Emma Mae Jenkins☀️ (@1corinthians13_love) on

“I do this because in Mark 1:35, it says that ‘Jesus, waking up very early in the morning, he went to a very quiet place, and there he prayed.’ Jesus lived in such a way that we are called to live as he did,” she says, which incidentally is some pretty solid advice.

Cinnamon Toast Ken later posted his own commentary on the video, saying that he agrees we should live like Jesus before immediately contradicting himself and mocking faith. (Read more from “Popular Youtuber Attacks Christian Teen” HERE)

Teenager Crushed to Death Despite Calls to 911

/0 Comments/in , /by

Ohio authorities are investigating how a student was crushed to death in the back of a minivan at a school parking lot despite calling 911 two times with his exact location.

The Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office is launching an investigation into the death of 16-year-old Kyle Plush, whose body was discovered by his father six hours after he called 911 begging for help and giving dispatchers the correct description of the minivan and his location.

According to audio recordings, Plush called 911 at least twice Tuesday afternoon while he was trapped in the 2002 Honda Odyssey minivan outside Seven Hills School. The third-row seat flipped and had him pinned inside.

“I’m going to die here,” the sophomore told the dispatcher during his first 911 call, which was placed shortly after 3 p.m. Tuesday. “I probably don’t have much time left. Tell my mom I love her if I die.”

The dispatcher can be heard asking for his location several times but it was unclear whether Plush heard the operator’s questions, according to police. (Read more from “Teenager Crushed to Death Despite Calls to 911” HERE)

On Thursday, it was reported that the NFL’s Seattle Seahawks canceled a workout for former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick because he refused to stop kneeling for the national anthem:

. . .

Still, common to both tweets is the idea that Kaeprnick’s kneeling for the anthem may be the salient reason why some teams have no desire to hire him.

As was reported last October, the NFL admitted that the controversy over kneeling for the national anthem caused it to lose business. CNS News reported in late September. (Read more from “This NFL Team Just Cancelled Kaepernick Workout Over National Anthem Kneeling” HERE)
