Visitor shot in back as Times Square was echoing with gun shots Sunday.
No cops in sight! NYC has 2+infantry divisions of cops (24,000+)!
Apparently Sanctuary-deBlasio doesn’t want cops anywhere near violent criminals.
Good for cops – good for felons -- not so good for citizens!
Video – doesn’t look like white supremacist shooter.

Roanoke Times, 9-28-2020, Pg 1, 3: Protesters demand police reform in Roanoke
https://roanoke.com/news/protesters-in-roanoke-demand-police-reform-after-breonna-taylor-case-indictment/article_4ad610e4-588a-566b-b642-187ee91c1bee.html
-
Protesters demand reform! And what reform might that be?
-
Contrary to the PravdaMedia’s ongoing race-riot storyline on the Breonna Taylor shooting:
http://roanokeslant.blogspot.com/2020/09/another-obama-anticop-lynching-stymied.html
It was Not a No-Knock entry serving a drug-warrant.
Officers knocked and loudly announced their entry.
Bad News because that gave Taylor’s boyfriend time to fetch a gun.
He shot at the officers upon entry – hitting one in the leg.
The three officers returned fire hitting and killing Taylor.
-
So what reform is appropriate from this sad and tragic case of a collateral killing?
Don’t do drugs or peddle drugs resulting in drug-warrants.
Don’t have illegal guns and Don’t shoot police with any guns.
-
For this we have an AntiPolice march in Roanoke, one of the epicenters of Black on Black crime, shootings and killings in Virginia? Really?
http://roanokeslant.blogspot.com/2018/12/a-pathetic-meeting-on-roanoke-crime.html
-
Perhaps this group wants the NY AG police reform approach:
http://roanokeslant.blogspot.com/2020/09/ny-ag-dont-stop-or-arrest-black-people.html
NY AG declares police should Not stop Black motorists and if they do and the occupants have outstanding warrants – do Not arrest them!
This is because stopping persons may cause them to violently and unlawfully resist arrest resulting in police ‘violence’.
Really? This is the reform that will make all Roanokers safer?
-
In what part of Roanoke do Black Lives Matter to the druggies, gang bangers and sociopaths?
What kind of ‘reform’ might be necessary there?
-
Let’s all reflect on the abuse Roanoke’s Police are subjected to -- who has their back?

The brutal murder, in Charlotte, of a young woman by a maniacal knife-man in a public train car, caught in-detail by clear CCTV video, represents a level of animalistic behavior totally contrary to civilized society and is only out sized by the sick reaction of those trying to marginalize the crime in an effort to apply political-sedatives to a horrific crime.
The Liberal politicians and their PravdaMedia cannot find it in their psyche to properly describe and condemn this horrific crime because of their political and social commitments. A pox be on them and their associates!
The blood of a young women clearly stains their hands.

Stabbing death of Ukrainian refugee by ‘madman’ brings focus to Trump’s anti-crime agenda
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2025/sep/8/stabbing-death-ukrainian-refugee-madman-brings-focus-trumps-anti/?utm_medium=subscriber&utm_source=Boomtrain&utm_campaign=morning&utm_content=paywall&utm_term=newsletter&bt_ee=Ru6%2BLctOPmA1sZKj4YOz0gdLabnej5UPWoUR7IQujIjIgHDJ1cqBsRJoz7V4vrfl&bt_ts=1757419845046

He later posted on Truth Social that “the perpetrator was a well-known career criminal, who had been previously arrested and released on CASHLESS BAIL in January, a total of 14 TIMES.”
“What the hell was he doing riding the train, and walking the streets?” he asked rhetorically. “Criminals like this need to be LOCKED UP.”

Charlotte train murder: Graphic video captures random fatal stabbing of young Ukrainian refugee
Every person should see this horrific actual video of the murder and reflect on how our national and local authorities condemned this your women to death with their policies and actions.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3mMHHDpkzGc
-
-
Also very disturbing was the action/reaction of the other close-by people who clearly just witnessed a horrific violent murder, but, exited without a glance or effort to help, apparently fearing for their own safety.

Charlotte Murder Exposes Democrat Failures After Career Criminal Freed by Woke Policies
https://www.whitehouse.gov/articles/2025/09/charlotte-murder-exposes-democrat-failures-after-career-criminal-freed-by-woke-policies/
Horrifying video released on Friday shows the moment an innocent woman was brutally murdered on a train in Charlotte, North Carolina — a shocking act of evil that didn’t have to happen.
The deranged monster had been arrested again and again for violent crimes spanning more than a decade. Despite that lengthy rap sheet, mental health issues, and forfeiting bonds on three occasions, a Democrat judge released him back on the streets following his most recent arrest in January — free to slaughter an innocent woman just months later.

Charlotte officials under fire after man with long criminal history kills Ukrainian refugee on train
https://www.pbs.org/newshour/nation/charlotte-officials-under-fire-after-man-with-long-criminal-history-kills-ukrainian-refugee-on-train
Officials in Charlotte, North Carolina, faced sharp criticism for failing to keep a man with a history of mental illness, arrests and erratic behavior off the streets before he fatally stabbed a young Ukrainian refugee on a commuter train last month, a killing that critics say could have been prevented.

The Democrats skillfully and successfully hid Biden during the 2019 election cycle. Clearly the voters were duped until after the election when they, like 2-week old kittens, opened their eyes and realized the pathetic and limited left-wing old man they had elected to the highest position in the world to say nothing about his backup relief pitcher.
-
Last night the Pennsylvania voters got to see the pathetic and limited and hard-left-wing Fetterman who has been hidden for months during which time early-voter-voters have been voting for a man clearly not up to the requirements of a US Senator.

In NY Gov Hochul debated for the first and last time and demonstrated that she doesn’t have a clue about the crime epidemic in NY; worse yet, she supports the no-bail laws and revolving justice door for hard-core criminals terrorizing NY residents.

In Arizona Democrat Hobbs has hidden from a debate for the Governorship clearly afraid to face the voters after 2+million Biden Illegal Immigrants have invaded her state, a modern reenactment of being overrun by Attila the Hun.

The Democrats have developed the hide the pea in the shell game and exploited the curtain caper in Alice in Wonderland: “Don’t look behind the curtain”.
All this during early voting when voters have not yet seen the full picture of the candidates.
Something about voting on voting-day to minimize fraud, abuse and manipulation.

Democrat Congressman Anthony Weiner of NY (who aspires to be the next mayor of NYC) is having trouble explaining a Twitter photo from his account to a college girl. Apparently the photo is an up-close frontal view of a male spandex brief (apparently very brief). The late-night stand-ups are having a field day with the weiner thing.
-
Weiner made things worse by using his typical nasty and hostile persona with the press as he made a word-smithed kinda denial thing. He has refused to file a formal complaint with authorities (if he really did send it – the reporting would then be a crime).
http://news.yahoo.com/s/yblog_theticket/20110601/ts_yblog_theticket/rep-anthony-weiner-wont-deny-lewd-photo-is-of-himself
-
-
Weiner uses the nasty in your face approach to political dialogue reminiscent of other NY Congressmen like Joe Resnick of Ellenville NY and Maurice Hinchey of Saugerties NY and Maxine Waters from where-ever.
Apparently this style works well on offense but not so much on defense.
-
Recently the Democrats demanded that Congressman Chris Lee Resign After Shirtless Photo of him was posted on Internet. Apparently the Democrats are very sensitive to shirtless Republican men, not so much pant-less Democrat men. Just more Democrat hypocrisy!

Talk about crossed signals in government!
-
NYC Mayor Adams declared that crime issues are much improved in The City.
-
Next day NY Gov Hochul activates and sends the NY Guard and NYS Troopers into the NYC subway tunnels to help suppress violent crime.

Apparently, there’s an ELECTION in a few months and the Democrats are suddenly going to become the Law & Order Party!
I feel much safer already!

“NY – Fed up with petty crime, the all-night racket of beating drums, the smell of human waste, police and neighbors are losing patience with some of the anti-Wall Street protests around the US.”
“Oakland Police arrest 75 protesters.”
“NY businesses and residents near Zuccotti Park are demanding something be done to discourage hundreds of protesters from urinating in the street and making noises at all hours.”
“Oakland Firemen and EMT’s were denied entry to a park after receiving reports of a sexual assault, severe beating, fires, threatening behavior, concerns about rats, fire hazards and public urination.”
-
Whoa there Marshal Dillon! Not so fast! Back Off!
These are the front line elite troops of Obama’s Street Army. They have the support and backing of Obama, The Democrats, The Labor Unions and the Major Media!

NY AG Letitia James, who oversaw Cuomo sex-harassment investigation, announces bid for governor
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/ny-ag-letitia-james-governor-run-cuomo-sex-harassment-investigation
          (may have to copy-paste link into browser to view fox article)
James' announcement comes 1 day after Cuomo charged with sex crime
James' bid for the top job sets the stage for what is expected to be a tough primary battle with incumbent candidate Gov. Kathy Hochul, who replaced Cuomo in August as the state's first female governor.
-
-
Stipulating that Cuomo should go, perhaps never should have been governor; there’s something unseemly and uncomfortable about politically-assassinating your boss and then taking his job.
We’ve seen this before but not so starkly in-your-face.
-
Does this open the door for a Republican?
Turns out the Republican NY governors have been more LeftWing than the Democrats they ran against – most notable the Rockefeller-Javits combo.
-

-
And those multitudes of young black men who are being murdered in Chicago, Detroit, NY and many other major US cities go uncounted and unnoticed.
Something about an election less than 100 days away!

Level XIII.  A view of Roanoke Black Crime's impacts not often viewed:
Roanoke Times,8-17-2014, Pg 1, 13: New Life, New Vision - Troubled Neighborhoods:
"I'm not afraid to sit on my front porch at 11 o'clock or 1 o'clock at night now.  Even the older people are getting out"
Lillie Gray, Member of family that opened Heavenly Foods on Patterson Ave.
It's clear that this fear in "the Roanoke neighborhoods" is not from The Police!
Where's Obama, Holder, Sharpton and Jackson confronting the Black on Black crime (the major crime Black people are exposed to right here in River City)?
-
-
Level XII. Small group of Roanokers march in solidarity with Ferguson protesters
http://www.roanoke.com/news/local/roanoke/small-group-of-roanokers-march-in-solidarity-with-ferguson-protesters/article_0dad2dd4-3f51-5b97-a72f-6dfe676fda71.html
Why weren't these Roanoke protesters chanting about "the Roanoke Brown shooting case" that killed a black man on the city streets?  This unarmed black man was shot down and killed and a jury trial found the shooter "not guilty" of murder and gun charges, because they agreed that the shooter probably was in fear of his life.
Oh right -- the shooter in this case was Reginald Brown -- a Black Man!
Move along folks, nothing to see here;  Obama-Holder-Sharpton-Jackson aren't going to show-up! 
http://www.roanoke.com/etimes/mapping/brown-not-guilty-in-fatal-shooting/article_17a30129-c2f4-5b53-af69-39bacb87b26c.html

Level XI.  Missouri cop was badly beaten before shooting Michael Brown, says source
Darren Wilson, the Ferguson, Mo., police officer whose fatal shooting of Michael Brown touched off more than a week of demonstrations, suffered severe facial injuries, including an orbital (eye socket) fracture, and was nearly beaten unconscious by Brown moments before firing his gun, a source close to the department's top brass told FoxNews.com.
“The Assistant (Police) Chief took him to the hospital, his face all swollen on one side,” said the insider. “He was beaten very severely.”
“They ignored him and the officer started to get out of the car to tell them to move," the source said. "They shoved him right back in, that’s when Michael Brown leans in and starts beating Officer Wilson in the head and the face."
The source claims that there is "solid proof" that there was a struggle between Brown and Wilson for the policeman’s firearm, resulting in the gun going off – although it still remains unclear at this stage who pulled the trigger. Brown started to walk away according to the account, prompting Wilson to draw his gun and order him to freeze. Brown, the source said, raised his hands in the air, and turned around saying, "What, you're going to shoot me?"
At that point, the source told FoxNews.com, the 6-foot-4, 292-pound Brown charged Wilson, prompting the officer to fire at least six shots at him, including the fatal bullet that penetrated the top of Brown's skull, according to an independent autopsy conducted at the request of Brown's family.

-
Level X.  Obama's AG Holder meets with Brown family and publicaly proclaims that he understands why Blacks don't trust the police.
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2014/08/21/holder-says-understands-mistrust-police-as-ferguson-protests-dwindle/
A real AG (the top US police officer) would have visited the badly injured cop involved and expressed remorse over the officer's injuries and the lynch-mob mentality that has been foisted upon him by the press and other racist-activists.
-
Level IX.  The violence continues unabated:
The records show that 18 people from outside Missouri were arrested Monday night and early Tuesday. They came came from as far away as Brooklyn, Washington, D.C., and San Diego.
Police said that they were fired on and had Molotov cocktails thrown at them overnight. Several people who were arrested and spoke to NBC News on Tuesday, however, blamed the police for overreacting to the protesters.

-
Level VIII.  Missouri gov calls for 'vigorous prosecution' of Ferguson shooting case
Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon drew criticism from his own Lt. Governor Tuesday when he said "a vigorous prosecution must now be pursued" in the shooting death of black 18-year-old Michael Brown by white police Officer Darren Wilson in the St. Louis suburb of Ferguson.
http://www.foxnews.com/us/2014/08/20/missouri-gov-calls-for-vigorous-prosecution-ferguson-shooting-case/
Talk about  prejudicing a case and inciting a lynch mob mentality!
"It's really heartbreaking to see a man elected to an office that high in our state government ... come out with a statement like that, that does prejudge the case," Missouri Lt. Gov. Peter
-
Level VII.  Holder takes on Ferguson: AG ‘flooding the zone’ with investigators, heads to Missouri.  Rioting continues with multiple people shot.  No indication that state and federal intervention is an improvement over local violence-management.
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2014/08/19/holder-takes-on-ferguson-ag-flooding-zone-with-investigators-heads-to-missouri/
-
Level VI.  40 FBI agents are in Ferguson to investigate the shooting of Michael Brown  ---  In a statement emailed to the local CBS affiliate on Friday, the DOJ confirmed that attorneys from the DOJ's Civil Rights Division and the US Attorney's Office were also participating in the federal civil rights investigation
http://news.yahoo.com/40-fbi-agents-ferguson-investigate-222003434.html 
-
Level V.  Sunday Nite Live:  Missouri governor orders National Guard to Ferguson after latest night of clashes
"Based on the conditions, I had no alternative but to elevate the level of response."    Capt. Ron Johnson, Missouri Highway Patrol
Every day that goes by it becomes more clear that the core problem of protest and violence management was not caused by the local police conduct.
Clearly now "The Governor" ownes the problem!  Good Luck using National Guard as Riot Police  ---  Didn't we try that at Kent State?
-
-
-
Level IV. Saturday Nite Live: Seven arrested, 1 shot as police use tear gas on protesters defying Ferguson curfew
http://www.foxnews.com/us/2014/08/17/police-try-to-disperse-protesters-defying-ferguson-curfew/
Democrat Governor and his State Police have apparently failed to do better than local Mayor and local Police -- bad guys still going strong.
Jessy Jackson and Al Twana Brawley Sharpton still in town and will be until the news cameras leave.
-
Level III. Governor takes “marshal law” action well beyond what the local city management had taken. Bad turns to worse.
Missouri governor imposes curfew in Ferguson, declares emergency
http://www.cnn.com/2014/08/16/us/missouri-teen-shooting/index.html
-
Level II. Next night the Love turns back into violence and rioting. Apparently, “The Love” is quite fickle in Ferguson. State Police just stand and watch as looters do their thing!
Stand and watch – that’s quite different than “Stand and Deliver!
Local storeowners holding the line with personal weapons because the State Police refused to act. Something about the 2^nd Amendment!

Joy and jubilation as folks hug the Black State Police Captain taking charge of the police function in Ferguson. Just Feel The Love!
http://mashable.com/2014/08/14/ferguson-missouri-unrest/

-
-
Apparently, there are people who will exploit chaos at every opportunity and it appears that the State Police are no better capable to establish a “cease and desist” situation than were the local police.
In the final analysis, YOU are responsible for your own safety, security, and that of your family and possessions.
-
Yet another clear example of why the founders gave us the 2^nd Amendment and why we all should fight to keep it
-
Missouri is a "Stand Your Ground" Law State and this is a clear example of why THAT'S A GOOD THING!

The US is one of the only countries that has a 2nd Amendment right to personally own hand-guns and to conceal carry.  (all-be-it that Right is under constant attack).  
Apparently the British occupation of the Colonies was so egregious that the Founding Fathers not only included it in the Constitution but made it #2!
-
There are some people who claim that things are so much better now that the 2nd Amendment should be discarded. Really? Apparently these folks don’t live in the major crime-ridden sections of our cities and certainly do not ride the subways or public transportation or walk the streets in the dark to get home.
Not to worry, the new 12+Million Illegal Immigrants, who Biden has dastardly dumped in our communities, are going to help our safety and security situation.
