According to USA Today, the officer’s report on the shooting at the Burnette Chapel Church of Christ in Nashville, Tennessee last week by Emanuel Kidega Samson mentions a note that was found in the Sudanese immigrant’s car;
AP reporters did not view the note, but it was summarized in an investigative report circulating among law enforcement.
“In sum and in no way verbatim,” the note referenced revenge or retaliation for Dylann Roof, the white supremacist who killed nine black worshipers at a South Carolina church in 2015 and has since been sentenced to death. The report did not cite what precisely Samson is alleged to have written about the Roof shooting or whether his note contained other important details that might also speak to the motivation or state of mind behind the recent crime.
Well then, we should just let Samson go – I didn’t know he had a good reason for shooting people who were at church, but apparently he did. No wonder most of the media is ignoring the death of Melanie Smith (her name isn’t “one woman” or “a woman” it’s Melanie Smith, media dick heads) – it’s the fault of Dylann Roof, not Emanuel Kidega Samson.
Roof has already been sentenced to death in federal court, so The People’s revenge and retribution is all done except for the needle part. We don’t need a refugee to kill a bunch of white people to get revenge for us. Thanks, but that’s one job Americans can do for ourselves.
Fox News reports that the latest NSA contractor to leak classified documents, Reality Leigh Winner, stuffed the documents that she smuggled out of the secure facility in her pantyhose, you know like Sandy Berger, the Clintonista that smuggled National Archives documents from that facility in his socks. I didn’t even know that women still wear pantyhose.
The documents reportedly contained classified data on Russia’s alleged hacking during the 2016 U.S. presidential election.
Reality Leigh Winner, 25, a former Air Force linguist with a top-secret security clearance, was asked by an FBI agent about how she managed to get the documents out of the agency’s Augusta, Ga., office.
She responded: “Folded it in half in my pantyhose,” Politico reported, citing a transcript filed by prosecutors Wednesday.
Winner is asking a judge to release her while she waits for her trial, but the feds are resistant until she tells them where an external hard drive is. They can’t find it, and apparently she has more secrets stored on it somewhere.
NavyEODguy sends us a link to the story of Pamela Chimienti, the mother of Ryan Flores who tried to stick up a Starbucks in Fresno, California with a knife. His plan was disrupted by Cregg Jerri, 58, who disarmed Flores and stabbed him 17 times with Flores’ own knife. Now, Chimienti is attempting to sue Jerri because he used “excessive force” on her son;
“The guy, in my opinion, went from a Good Samaritan to a vigilante,” Pamela Chimienti, Flores’ mother, told KSEE-TV. “Stabbing somebody that many times, it doesn’t take that many stab wounds to get somebody to succumb to you.”
Mark Flores, the man’s father, told the Fresno Bee: “I understand he (his son) robbed the store but (Jerri) stabbed my son 17 times.”
The Fresno police chief reportedly called the report of the lawsuit “ludicrous.”
Flores is currently serving his time in the hoosegow.

On July 29th, the folks at Equifax detected breach of the Personally identifiable information (PII) of 143 million Americans and they got around to warning us yesterday. From the News York Times;
“This is about as bad as it gets,” said Pamela Dixon, executive director of the World Privacy Forum, a nonprofit research group. “If you have a credit report, chances are you may be in this breach. The chances are much better than 50 percent.”
Equifax has set up a website that can tell you if your records were affected. Yes, my records were affected;
But I have Lifelock, I have for years since the VA lost my data when an employee lost a computer with my PII on it.
On the brighter side, three of Equifax managers were able to dump some of their Equifax stock ahead of the announcement of the breach.
Three Equifax Inc. senior executives sold shares worth almost $1.8 million in the days after the company discovered a security breach that may have compromised information on about 143 million U.S. consumers.
The trio had not yet been informed of the incident, the company said.
Toscha Sponsler of Lufkin, Texas was arrested for shoplifting. To compound the charges, she slipped from the handcuffs while she was in the police vehicle and stole it, taking her pursuers at high speeds.
Sponsler stole the police vehicle and led officers on a 23-minute chase at speeds up to 100 mph, according to authorities. The chase ended after a state trooper used a PIT maneuver to make her lose control of the vehicle.

Throughout the chase, officers say they could see her reaching for the officer’s shotgun which was mechanically locked to the vehicle.
She waived medical treatment at the scene and was taken to the Angelina County Jail where she remains on an $18,000 bond.
MCPO Ret. In TN sends us a link to the news that Mark E. Wisner was found guilty of performing unnecessary genital examinations on four patients while he was a physician assistant at the local VA hospital.
He resigned an dlost his license in 2015. There are dozens of complaints which have been filed recently for the same type on unnecessary exams over the years.
A jury found him guilty of ” criminal sodomy, aggravated sexual battery and three counts of sexual battery” yesterday.
For over a year Lt. Blanchard had warned her command that 54-year-old Clifford Currie was a threat to her safety.
At approximately 5:10 p.m. on September 7, 2016, a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner (NP) at Ft. Leavenworth, Kansas, heard screaming from an office adjacent to hers at Munson Army Health Center. The civilian NP ran into the hallway and found 26-year-old 1LT Katie Ann Blanchard, an active duty Registered Nurse (RN) and mother of three, on fire from the waist up. (Details of the attack from the FBI Criminal Complaint, dated 8SEP16 can be found here.)
The smell of gasoline filled the hallway. The NP could see another coworker, 54-year-old Clifford Currie, in the office with Katie. He was clutching a straight-edged razor in one hand and a pair of scissors in the other. Currie, a short, rotund man weighing well over 200 pounds, was screaming at Katie and stabbing at her face even as she was engulfed in flames.
The NP rushed in and attempted to help Katie put out the flames and get away from Currie. Both the NP and Katie fell to the floor while struggling with Currie, who continued to stab at Katie while putting his foot on her neck and hollering incomprehensibly.
A Doctor from a neighboring office heard the commotion and rushed to assist. She and the NP struggled to restrain Currie, who continued to stab at Katie. Even with Katie’s two heroic female co-workers fighting him, Currie was hell-bent on continuing his assault as Katie lay smoldering on the floor.
Clifford Currie: Employee of American Federation of Government Employees Union
One would think the horror of this event would have some kind of closure because Clifford Currie was found guilty this past week of Assault with Intent to Commit Murder. He is facing 20 years in federal prison and will be sentenced in October. Sadly there is much more to become outraged about when it comes to this case.
For most of the thirteen months that she worked with Currie, she tried to have him disciplined or removed before his disturbing behavior would eventually escalate to her attempted murder.
Katie was Currie’s immediate supervisor, and she wrote over twenty negative counseling statements for Currie stemming from his consistently abysmal work performance, complaints directly from patients, and his outright negligence in performing his role as the Exceptional Family Member Program Care Coordinator. Katie repeatedly communicated to her command that she felt unsafe with Currie at work, and she felt untrained to deal with his combative attitude and escalating threats.
Currie overtly threatened Katie on multiple occasions prior to the September 7, 2016, attack.
Katie and her husband before she was brutally attacked.
Clifford Currie was a member of AFGE (American Federation of Government Employees Union). It is being reported that his Union President, Audrey Harris, has loudly stated to multiple employees at Munson Army Health Center, that Katie “deserved” what she got. She did not deserve to be doused in gasoline, lit on fire, stabbed and beaten. It is my understanding that Audrey Harris is still employed with the AFGE Union Local 738.
When Katie’s initial Section Chief transferred from Leavenworth, her new Section Chief took Katie’s pleas for help seriously. She endeavored to stop Currie before he escalated by going to the next Officer in the Chain of Command. But this Section Chief’s effort to put a stop to Currie’s behavior using the proper protocol was met with an admonishment that both she and Katie were acting irrationally as women and needed to come with facts—and not emotions.
It appears to me that Clifford Currie is not the only one that should be held accountable for what happened to Lt. Blanchard.
Before and After picture
It seems the Command and AFGE need to have their altitude adjusted. There is much more to this case. Google is your friend. I am not sure who should be contacted if anyone wishs to voice their concern, but I think this guy:
Michael Kelly – National Vice President, District 9
Phone: (405) 670-2656
Fax: (405) 677-8481
kellym@afge.org
Seems like a good place to start. I will post some links below.
