Five Year Investigation of Barry Sherman Murder Delivers Not A Single Suspect

As calendars reached 2022, mystery surrounding the deaths of Canadian billionaires Barry and Honey Sherman entered its fifth year without a single suspect being identified. Although devoid of potential suspects, additional information on the case was presented by Canadian media in early 2021.

Barry Sherman, founder of Canadian pharma giant Apotex, and his wife Honey Sherman, were found dead in the basement area of their home in Toronto’s North York neighbourhood on Dec. 15, 2017. Their deaths were determined by investigators to be caused by ligature neck compressions, a type of strangulation.

LA’s Crime Surge Migrates to Wealthy, Whiter Zip Codes of Boldface Names

On March 22, in the broad daylight of a typically gorgeous day in Beverly Hills, thieves in hoodies and sunglasses took a sledgehammer to the plate glass window of Peter Sedghi’s boutique and furiously rummaged through the shards. In less than 90 seconds, the robbers stole more than $3 million worth of jewels. Two days later, in response to a wave of high-end robberies, the Los Angeles Police Department announced there would be no arrests. Instead, it cautioned Hollywood residents not to wear high-quality jewelry in public.

Facing massive crime waves, California cities spent COVID relief funds on police

It turns out that it was not such a great strategy to drive officers off the job by embracing anti-police rhetoric amid a surge in homicides. California’s soft-on-crime attitude has real effects, and those effects are compounded when Democratic city leaders refuse to stand behind their police. After all, those officers can often go take jobs in pleasant places such as Montana or Idaho, where the risks are lower, the pay is comparable, and there’s no need to deal with toxic California politicians.

Fighting Back: In D.A. Larry Krasner’s city, citizens are left to protect themselves.

Philadelphia’s progressive district attorney Larry Krasner has let violence and mayhem run unchecked in the City of Brotherly Love. Elected on a platform of de-prosecution and decarceration, Krasner has instituted policies that have contributed to the city’s setting a new annual record for homicides, with 562 killings in 2021, and murders are still on the rise in 2022. Carjackings also have been spiking, with 224 in 2019, 409 in 2020, and 840 in 2021. Meantime, Krasner keeps letting criminals walk and has even expanded his program of non-prosecution to include firearms offenses, in the belief that such prosecutions are unjust and racially discriminatory.

Like True Commies, the Democrats Create Crime Then Use Crime Stats to Take Our Guns

Democrats love mass shootings. It’s their best chance at taking away our guns. We saw it happen in Australia back in 1996 when some wackjob killed 35 people and Australians HANDED OVER THEIR firearms — 700,000 or so to be exact, because, you know, safety, I guess…?

As you have probably heard, a mass shooting in Sacramento, Calif., left six people dead and 15 more wounded. The story isn’t getting a ton of traction because the shooter is most likely not Muslim or white. The media loves when the shooter is a Muslim because terror attacks keep people focused on the news. Lefty media will drag out a mass shooting when the shooter is white because it backs up the lie that most mass shooters are angry, drooling white guys in NRA hats.

Jury deliberations underway in Michigan Gov. Whitmer plot

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (AP) — A jury in Michigan started its deliberations Monday in the trial of four men accused of designing a plan to kidnap Gov. Gretchen Whitmer.

The jury picked a leader Friday and went home for the weekend, following hours of closing arguments from lawyers on the 15th day of trial.

Adam Fox, Barry Croft Jr., Daniel Harris and Brandon Caserta can be found guilty of conspiracy, even if they didn’t pull off a kidnapping in fall 2020, U.S. District Judge Robert Jonker said during jury instructions.

Posthaste: Canada is being advertised as an attractive place for Russian oligarchs to set up shell companies

“Tax dodgers, including Russian oligarchs linked to Vladimir Putin, know that Canada is actually weak on financial crime, and our financial transparency laws haven’t kept pace with changes in global finance,” DT Cochrane, an economist with Canadians for Tax Fairness, said in a release.
