Crime

A looting spree in the San Francisco Bay Area continued for a second straight night on Saturday — this time, reaching the suburbs.

A “mass looting” took place at about 9:00 p.m. Saturday evening at the Nordstrom store in Walnut Creek, California, an affluent suburb east of Oakland.

She should not be punished for Epstein’s crimes

In a world where history is dominated — and often written — by men, feminism has long cautioned us to look to the shadows to see the real heroes, lurking there unseen. Out of the spotlight, shunted to the sidelines, trapped beneath the glass ceiling, forever playing a supporting role to a man who takes all the credit for doing half (or less!) of the work. Think of all the women there would be monuments to, if only the men had given them their due.

The disappearance of Jimmy Hoffa, a mystery that has gripped the American imagination for half a century on its ascent to national folklore, is the subject of a new F.B.I. investigation centered on the site of a former landfill in Jersey City. A worker, on his deathbed, said he buried the body underground in a steel drum.

F.B.I. agents armed with a search warrant arrived in Jersey City at a plot of dirt and gravel the size of a Little League diamond below the Pulaski Skyway on Oct. 25 and 26 to conduct a “site survey,” according to the Detroit field office, which has led the investigation into Mr. Hoffa’s disappearance in 1975. The steel drum is said to be buried about 15 feet below ground, in the shadow of countless millions of drivers who have passed it by.

Seriously?

‘When you enter the shop of a gunsmith, what the heck do you expect to see?’ asks Kotanko family lawyer

Jeffrey Kotanko says he was planning to visit his 70-year-old brother Rodger on Nov. 3 and go fishing with him later that day.

The two brothers met almost every day for the past 14 years. They lived minutes away from one another in Norfolk County, deep in southern Ontario near Lake Erie.

But that Wednesday, they didn’t go fishing.

Possible “No Knock” warrant? On a gunsmith?

The Ontario government announced Tuesday it will invest $75.1 million over the next three years to combat gun violence and crime across the province at a campaign-style announcement in Toronto.

The move, which comes not long after calls to defund the police made headlines, was included in the recent fall economic statement.

“Gun and gang violence will not be allowed to thrive in Ontario,” Premier Doug Ford said at a news conference Tuesday, ahead of the June election. “There can be no mercy when it comes down to cracking down on these crimes.”

This will work as well as all the other millions thrown at “Gangs and Guns” I’m betting.

Ghislaine Maxwell has spoken for the first time about her ‘living hell’ behind bars – claiming that she has been assaulted and abused by prison guards, purposely deprived of sleep and given rotting food to eat.

In a world exclusive, Ms Maxwell, who had her £21 million bail application denied for the fourth time last week, also claims negative media coverage while she has been in custody and the deliberate withholding of evidence have made it ‘impossible’ for her to receive a fair trial.

Speaking from her 10ft by 12ft prison cell inside New York’s notorious Metropolitan Detention Center, where she has spent the past 16 months in solitary confinement, Ms Maxwell said: ‘I have been assaulted and abused for almost a year and a half.

Ghislaine Maxwell has allegedly proposed calling on a psychologist who has testified at big-name sexual assault cases, including the likes of Harvey Weinstein.

Maxwell, 59, who is Jeffrey Epstein’s ex-girlfriend, has allegedly proposed calling in psychologist Elizabeth Loftus, 77, as a witness at her upcoming trial.

Loftus – a psychology professor and writer who charges $500 an hour for her work, according to the Los Angeles Times – has testified at more than 300 trials, including Weinstein, serial killer Ted Bundy and acquitted murderer OJ Simpson.

Yea that worked real well for Harvey.

Henry Ruggs III filmed partying in Las Vegas before deadly high-speed crash

Disgraced NFL star Henry Ruggs III was seen partying in Las Vegas hours before his deadly high-speed crash — and then yelling at cops while refusing to take sobriety tests, according to reports.

The wide receiver’s longtime girlfriend, Kiara Kilgo-Washington — who was seriously injured in the crash that killed 23-year-old motorist Tina Tintor — had uploaded footage of Ruggs at TopGolf earlier in the night.

The footage shows her giggling as Ruggs, in a black Adidas tracksuit, struggles to tee off at the resort — with the camera turning to show another pal at their table that was covered in glasses.

A Washington state father was arrested for allegedly killing a man who he claimed had sex-trafficked his teenage daughter.

John Eisenman, 60, of Spokane, was charged with first-degree murder in the death of 19-year-old Andrew Sorensen, whose rotting body was found in the trunk of an abandoned vehicle on Oct. 22, police in Spokane said Monday.

Cops said Eisenman learned back in October 2020 that his underage daughter was sold into a Seattle-area sex-trafficking ring, apparently by Sorensen, her then-boyfriend.

Justifiable homicide.

It’s not lost on Toronto Police that while officers were dodging gunshots in 55 Division’s sub-station in East York the service also actually did dodge a bullet.

“I attended the unit and spoke with the officers who were working in the area of the building that was struck by gunfire,” said Toronto Police Association President Jon Reid. “All were very concerned about the shooting and realize it could have been far worse.”

A plan to open “safe injection sites” in New York entails moral perversity.

Plans to open “safe injection sites” in New York City, long stalled, appear to be moving forward, though not at the speed that advocates would prefer. These sites, which Mayor Bill de Blasio prefers to call “overdose prevention centers,” will provide a place for drug addicts to inject themselves with narcotics, under medical supervision. When opioid users overdose, for example, medical personnel will be standing by to revive them.
