Cop with Troubling History Escalates to Rape at Gunpoint

 

News reports about police behaving badly are becoming more common these days. It’s gotten to the point where some of us see a headline and think “same story, different criminal cop.”

But some bad cops are, well, just SO bad that even those of us who are used to hearing about police brutality are shocked by their actions.

Here’s one of those cases.

From The Palm Beach Post:

A Boynton Beach police officer raped a 20-year old woman at gunpoint on the hood of his marked police car, according to a police report.

Officer Stephen Maiorino, 35, was charged with armed sexual battery, armed kidnapping and unlawful compensation or reward for official behavior Thursday by the state attorney’s office. Maiorino was booked into the Palm Beach County Jail, according to jail records.

The details of this incident are alarming.

Veteran Fears For His Safety After Getting Attacked

I'll be in my wheel chair this evening feigning sleep.  I hope this intruder visits for a dose of .38 Special Plus P.  I'll photograph his corpse before I call 911, then find my year-younger Aurora friend in this article and present him with the picture. 

Octogenarians of the World Fight Back! Stay armed.  You're not prepped if you're not packing.  My Johnstone/Marjoribanks family crest bears the motto "Nonquam Non Paratus--Never Not Prepared.". You'd better believe it. 

Almost all crime here now is from low-rent apartments and government subsidized housing.  They will call 9,000 Aurora citizens for the jury panel for the Holmes Mass Theater murder trial which will start long after I'm gone, if ever.  Welcome to the 21st Century. 

Hickenlooper got elected again so Nathan Dunlap is safe from the needle.  You can't make this stuff up.

A veteran who lives in Aurora and uses a wheelchair says he’s worried after he was attacked in his home by a robber.

That’s what Lee Pekish assumes happens, at least. Aurora police have little to go on in their investigation into the case so far, but Pekish, an 80-year-old Korean War veteran, told CBS4 the events of last Saturday played out like this:

Civil Disobedience: Thousands of WA Residents Will Break the State’s New Background Check Law

After several anti-gun billionaires donated tens of millions of dollars to support i-594, Washington state’s background check initiative, it looks like WA will now have some of the strictest gun transfer laws in the country.

Simply loaning a firearm to a friend could be construed as a felony under the new law.

The law was likely passed as many voters didn’t really realize the full scope of the extremely restrictive set of laws and regulations. I highly doubt most Washington voters realized they were voting for one of the strictest laws of its kind in the nation.

15-year-old girl fights off armed intruder after he shoots her dad

A teen girl is being called a hero after she fought off an armed intruder who shot her dad during a break-in at their Indianapolis home.

Fifteen-year-old Kimberly Romero and her father, Fernando Heredia, returned home around midnight Oct. 24 to two strange men in their home. Heredia entered the home first and found one suspect in the process of unplugging the television. He then called out to the second suspect to warn him that the residents were there.

Unreal – His Own Circle Allowed This ?

The Last Refuge

 Who, I mean WHO, in their right mind would go along with this idea?

For an administration so singularly focused, tuned-in, and twitchy about “optics”, and control thereof, this had to be an intentional set-up to allow ridicule of President Obama in China.   There is no other reasonable explanation.

How Statism Wins

Via Jonathan

And we deliberately didn’t name this “How Proziism Wins”, because it’s all the same in a nation where you have two parties that are both statist, the only difference being that one likes to take things a bit slower.

In a free society, people make their own decisions and they pay for their own mistakes. That’s a Good Thing™. And by “paying for their own mistakes” we don’t mean that you’re utterly fucked if you make mistakes and can’t pay, because usually you aren’t. Unless you’re a real shitbird who really asked for it to the point where nobody gives a damn about the consequences to you. That’s not how it works in America, home to the most generous people on Earth, people who will drag out their checkbooks, volunteer to travel halfway across the nation and even the world and give the shirt off their backs simply because it’s the right thing to do. A nation whose citizens contributed more privately to the victims of the tsunami in 2004 than all of the world’s governments combined.
 
And the truly amazing thing is that this is the norm, rather than the exception.

What created the Fourth Generation?

Via comment by Sioux on In Ukraine, Shelling and Convoys of Armed Trucks T...

 The Israeli military historian Martin van Creveld has an interesting hypothesis concerning where the seeds of the Fourth Generation's military bypass of the state were planted:

Many of the distinctions between army and people which had been established by eighteenth- and nineteenth-century international law also broke down. Armed violence, far from being limited to combatants, escaped its bounds. Terrible atrocities, including even the planned starvation of tens of millions, were carried out against the inhabitants of occupied countries both in Europe and in Asia.

The populations themselves did not acquiesce with their lot. Occupation per se was now regarded as a monstrous injustice and resisted.

There was China's president, Xi Jinping, Russia's president Vladimir Putin to his right, next to Philippine president Aquino and the uberwealthy Sultan of Brunei Hassanal Bolkiah. And then there is Barack Obama, right in the middle of the "wives club"...
