Lifelong Criminal Who Assaulted Disabled Man Finally Brought to Justice

/0 Comments/in , /by

A lifelong Delaware criminal made headlines in May after surveillance footage from a Pennsylvania convenience store depicted him mocking and then assaulting a disabled man, went viral.

The incident reportedly reportedly occurred on May 10, when Barry R. Baker of Georgetown, Delaware, mocked a man with cerebral palsy outside a 7-Eleven store in West Chester.

Baker then proceeded to sucker punch the man.

The surveillance footage can be viewed here:

“This defendant is a bully,” Chester County District Attorney Tom Hogan reportedly said following Baker’s arrest. “Every decent citizen should be outraged by the defendant’s conduct. The victim is to be commended for keeping his cool and notifying the police.”

“The defendant’s actions in this case are appalling,” added West Chester police chief Scott Bohn. “You wonder what would make an individual treat somebody like that.”

Baker managed to obtain his freedom — for a while, anyway — by paying 10 percent of a $25,000 surety bond.

In the days following his release, however, additional warrants were issued for “violation of his probation on theft charges” and “failure to pay back child support,” according to Chester County’s Daily Local News.

Local authorities eventually captured him at a Chester County hotel in early June, though during a court hearing afterward he claimed he had voluntarily returned to the county to turn himself in.

“I came back last night,” he told Senior Judge Ronald Nagle. “I wanted to turn myself in today.”

As noted by the Local News, however, he “had no explanation as to why he had not registered under his own name at the hotel where he was found,” and as to why he “had a number of untraceable ‘burner’ phones in the room with him.”

Two months later Baker again made headlines when he claimed a corrections officer at the Chester County Prison had assaulted him.

“Here is some more news for you,” he wrote in a handwritten letter to the Daily Local News. “Sunday night around 11:30 p.m. I was attacked by a CO while housed on PC.”

Baker then disappeared from the limelight again until late September, when he finally pleaded guilty to the charges stemming from his encounter with the disabled man months earlier.

His attorney claimed at the time that he was sorry for his actions and simply wanted to move on with his life. (For more from the author of “Lifelong Criminal Who Assaulted Disabled Man Finally Brought to Justice” please click HERE)

Video Footage Appears to Confirm SECOND Shooter in Las Vegas? Probably Not . . .

/0 Comments/in , , /by

(Editor’s Note: The “second shooter” theory, at least based on the videos below, is bunk. Other videos show a similar reflection on the window prior to the massacre and there’s no evidence of the window being broken below the 32nd floor. That being said, several concert-goers swear there was more than one shooter. In the din of confusion, there’s a strong possibility that they heard echoes. Please comment below on what you think.)

By Tyler Durden. Video has emerged that raises serious questions about the official authorities’ version of events in Las Vegas on Sunday night…

(This video has been removed without explanation):

But as Intelihub reports, a taxi driver found herself a little too close for comfort last Sunday night as she slowly navigated her vehicle through Mandalay Bay’s property while 59 people were massacred and 526 others were being struck by a hail of bullets.

Astonishingly, the driver managed to capture video footage of what may be a second shooter which contradicts the current mainstream media narrative which purports that only a single shooter fired from the 32 floor.

In the bombshell video, what appears to be oscillating muzzle flash can be seen emitting from a lower-level window about 7 rows over from the right (north side) of the building and fully-automatic gunfire can be heard which also appears to coincide with the muzzle flash.

Casino Security Video Shows Vegas Shooter in 2011

/0 Comments/in , /by

Mandalay Bay shooter Stephen Paddock may have been a high-roller, but he lost a slip-and-fall lawsuit against a Nevada casino in 2014 — and still owed $270 in court fees when he killed at least 59 people Sunday.

Security video from the Cosmopolitan Hotel shows Paddock slipping and falling on Oct. 30, 2011, as he walked from a hotel shop towards a high-stakes area in the casino. Paddock said he had slipped in a puddle of liquid and sued the hotel in 2012, initially asking for $100,000, according to the attorney for the hotel, Marty Kravitz.

“They always ask for a lot more than they can get, but he got nothing,” said Kravitz. (Read more from “Casino Security Video Shows Vegas Shooter in 2011” HERE)

Steelers Player Announces Plan for National Anthem at Next Game

/0 Comments/in , /by

Three days after the Pittsburgh Steelers unintentionally entangled themselves in the ongoing national anthem controversy by remaining in the stadium tunnel during the anthem at a game in Chicago, center Maurkice Pouncey announced the team intends to “make it right” next time.

“I promise you one thing this week: We’ll all be standing out there for the national anthem,” he said after practice Wednesday. “Trust me. We respect our flag and we respect the military.”

Regarding what happened Sunday, he claimed it was just a “big misunderstanding.”

“Trust me, I’m very sorry to anyone who feels the way they do,” he said. “I care about the flag dearly. Trust me, this team will be out there standing Sunday.”

The team’s decision Sunday to remain in the tunnel came in response to an ongoing controversy surrounding statements made by President Donald Trump at a rally in Alabama last Friday.

“Wouldn’t you love to see one of these NFL owners, when somebody disrespects the flag, to say, ‘Get that son of a b—h off the field right now. Out. He’s fired. He’s fired!’” Trump had said, referencing protests by certain NFL players upset by what they perceive to be racial injustice in America’s criminal justice system.

This remark wound up triggering widespread backlash, with numerous players and team owners across the NFL mounting a joint effort to rebuke the president by joining the protests against the national anthem.

In a bid to avoid becoming involved in this controversy, all members of the Pittsburgh Steelers except one decided to skip taking part in the anthem ceremony Sunday. Only offensive tackle Alejandro Villanueva, a former Army Ranger, appeared on the field.

Villanueva later apologized for taking a lone stand, expressing remorse for having thrown his teammates “under the bus.”

Likewise, quarterback Ben Roethlisberger released his own statement expressing regret over what happened.

“The idea was to be unified as a team when so much attention is paid to things dividing our country, but I wish we approached it differently,” he said. “We did not want to appear divided on the sideline with some standing and some kneeling or sitting.”

In his own statement Wednesday, Pouncey made it clear that when his team stands up for the national anthem at its next game, he expects “100 percent participation” from all players. (For more from the author of “Steelers Player Announces Plan for National Anthem at Next Game” please click HERE)

/0 Comments/in , /by

Rep. Steve Scalise returned to the House of Representatives Thursday for the first time since he was shot by a radical leftist.

After arriving to thunderous, sustained applause, Scalise gave a speech on the floor, thanking God and acknowledging the power of answered prayer in his recovery.

“The power of prayer is something that you just cannot underestimate,” Scalise said. “I am definitely a living example that miracles really do happen.”

Watch his full speech:

Thanking the Capitol Hill police, his doctors at MedStar, and his well-wishers in Congress and from around the world, Scalise said his faith in God was strengthened by the experience and the outpouring of love he felt.

“While some people might focus on a tragic event and an evil act, to me, all I remember are the thousands of acts of kindness and love that came out of this, ” he said. (For more from the author of “Steve Scalise Credits ‘Power of Prayer’ for Return to Congress” please click HERE)

Saints Quarterback: Respecting the Flag More Important Than Making a Point

/0 Comments/in , /by

Fighting against racism does not mean failing to treat the American flag with respect, New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees said Sunday.

After the New Orleans Saints defeated the Carolina Panthers, what happened on during the game took second place to the growing furor over protests that occurred during the playing of the national anthem.

On Friday, President Donald Trump criticized players who protest racism by failing to stand for the anthem, causing players, coaches and owners around the NFL to take a stand.

Brees said Trump came down too hard.

“I disagree with what the president said and how he said it,” Brees said. “I think it’s very unbecoming of the office of the President of the United States to talk like that, to the great people like that, and, obviously, he’s disappointing a lot of people.”

Brees said that there are two problems on the table — one is that not all Americans have an equal chance at success, and the other how NFL players are responding to that issue.

“Let me say this first – do I think that there’s inequality in this country? Yes, I do. Do I think that there’s racism? Yes, I do. I think there’s inequality for women in the workplace; I think there’s inequality for people of color, for minorities, for immigrants,” he said.

How NFL players respond to that issue determines whether he is with them or not.

“If the protest becomes we’re going to sit down or kneel or not show respect to the flag of the United States of America and everything it symbolizes and everything it stands for, everything our country has stood for to get to this point, I do not agree with that,” he said.

Brees said the anthem should bring Americans together, not divide them.

“Looking at the flag with your hand over your heart is a unifying thing that should bring us all together and say, ‘You know what, we know what things are not where they should be, but we will continue to work and strive to make things better and bring equality to all people,’” Brees said.

Brees also said the anthem is a time for respect.

“I will always believe that we should be standing and showing respect to our flag with our hand over our heart. I will never say it’s OK to not show respect to the flag of the United States of America during the national anthem,” he said.

Brees, whose grandfather served in World War II, said the flag is a symbol all Americans should hold dear.

“That is the symbol of showing respect to our country. I won’t. I don’t think that that’s OK because of all who have fought so hard and died and sacrificed so much for us to have the things we have, to have the freedoms that we have. The very freedom of the speech that we are talking about was born from that flag,” he said.

Although 10 New Orleans Saints did not stand for the anthem, contradicting what Brees believes is right, he did not expect the issue would divide him team.

“I’m not sure exactly what happened pregame because I was locked in, but I’ll talk to all my guys and we’ll be fine,” he said. (For more from the author of “Saints Quarterback: Respecting the Flag More Important Than Making a Point” please click HERE)

California Dreamin’: Cali Demands APOLOGY From Trump? Fat Chance!

/0 Comments/in , /by

The state legislature in the People’s Republic of California has passed a resolution that demands Trump “publicly apologize to all Americans for his racist and bigoted behavior.”

Yes, these are the kinds of constructive bills California lawmakers are coming up with to fix their insolvent state. (Next on the agenda is making it impossible to deport illegals who commit felonies!)

The alleged basis for Trump’s “racist and bigoted behavior” was when he condemned “in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry, and violence on many sides” in the wake of the Charlottesville clashes.

If that made you scratch your head, it’s because it makes no sense; most rational people don’t equate condemning “hatred, bigotry, and violence” with “racist and bigoted behavior.”

But the green commies in California don’t seem to get that, for some reason. Maybe it’s time for them to lay off the pot.

In a FREE White House Brief, I explain all the terrific things Trump is doing to improve the country and shouldn’t apologize for. Watch:

Trump on NFL Anthem Kneelers: ‘Get That Son of a B**** off the Field’

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump declared at his Alabama rally on Friday night that he would love to see an NFL owner fire anyone who disrespects the U.S. flag and national anthem, declaring, “get that son of a bitch off the field!”

“Luther [Strange] and I, and everyone in this arena tonight, are unified by the same great American values,” Trump said at the rally. “We’re proud of our country. We respect our flag.”

“Wouldn’t you love to see one of these NFL owners, when somebody disrespects our flag, to say, ‘Get that son of a bitch off the field right now, he’s fired!” Trump exclaimed. “He’s fired!”

Benham Bros Reveal Secret to Ending Abortion and Gay ‘Marriage’ in America

/0 Comments/in , /by

Christians who grew up thinking about a candle’s light when singing “This little light of mine, I’m going to let it shine” have entirely the wrong idea about what it truly means to be a Christian light shining in the world, said the Benham brothers in a recent talk.

The identical twin brothers, speaking at the LifeSiteNews 20th anniversary Gala recently in Herndon, Virginia, said that most think of a candle’s flame when singing the lines from the song about not letting Satan “blow it out.”

But Christian faith, they said, is not meant to be extinguished when faced by the winds of opposition, but to become more inflamed. That’s why the image of a candle in the song needs to be replaced by the image of a coal, they said.

“You see, the same wind that extinguishes the candle’s light ignites the coal’s light,” said Jason . . .

Jason quoted from the prophet Jeremiah (20:9) who called the word of God in his heart a blazing “fire” that could not be contained inside himself. (Read more from “Benham Bros Reveal Secret to Ending Abortion and Gay ‘Marriage’ in America” HERE)

How the Feds Swipe Your Stuff — and How Congress Could Stop It

/0 Comments/in , /by

In case you hadn’t already heard about it, the government can take your stuff without a warrant, a criminal charge, or a hearing. And thanks to a program restarted by Attorney General Jeff Sessions, it got a lot easier to do so over the summer.

The process is called civil asset forfeiture, and it leads to situations where people who haven’t even been charged with a crime lose their possessions. Sometimes they have to fight uphill for years to get them back.

However, the House of Representatives has recently made a move to protect your Fourth Amendment rights with an amendment in a recently passed spending bill, which now heads to the Senate. In a segment of Off the Hill, we bring you stories of real people who have had their lives upended by the practice and tell you how Congress could clamp down hard on it.
