A Florida woman has been arrested and charged with setting up a fraudulent GoFundMe account to raise $12,000. The account was purportedly set up to assist the families of three men who were killed in July as part of a triple homicide.
Amanda Brown, 32, was arrested last week in connection to the account, WFLA <a href="https://www.wfla.com/news/polk-county/polk-woman-spent-frostproof-murder-gofundme-donations-on-shopping-bills-deputies-say/">reported</a>, and “is facing charges related to fraud, grand theft and using the identities of deceased persons.”
In July, best friends Brandon Rollins, 27, Keven Springfield, 30, and Damion Tillman, 23, were set for some night fishing at Lake Streety in Frostproof, Florida. The Polk County Sheriff’s Office would tell the media that it appears Rollins and Springfield arrived after Tillman and witnessed their friend getting beaten. One or more attackers shot Rollins and Springfield. Rollins was reportedly still alive after the attackers left, and he called his father for help.
Rollins’ father, Cyril, rushed to help his son but forgot his cellphone.
“When I got there, I was looking for my son. It was a mess,” Cyril <a href="https://www.wfla.com/news/polk-county/3-men-killed-while-fishing-in-frostproof-sheriff-judd-to-speak-at-930/">told</a> WFLA. “I found my son. I was holding him. He was telling me what happened, but I was too shocked to know what was going on.”
Cyril said he drove to the nearest convenience store to call 911 but by the time authorities arrived, all three men had died.
Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said called the murder scene “horrific,” saying he had “been to a lot of murder scenes in my life, and this ranks among the worst.”
As the New York Post <a href="https://nypost.com/2020/07/19/3-pals-slain-in-horrific-scene-while-prepping-to-fish-at-florida-lake/">reported</a> at the time, Judd wouldn’t directly say the attackers knew the victims but suggested the crime wasn’t random.
“You don’t just stumble upon somebody out here,” Judd said. “This is a dirt road, a clay dirt road, way out in the middle of what we call God’s country, on the way to a nice little fishing lake. It’s not like there’s a lot of people around here.”
Following news reports of the crime, the victims’ families received an outpouring of support from the community, including donations to Polk Sheriff’s Charities, which covered all the funeral expenses for the three men.
But a now-defunct GoFundMe page, titled “Polk County Triple Homicide, Family Expenses,” caught the attention of the victims’ families. Dottie Payton, mother of Rollins, was one of the family members who found the GoFundMe page created by Brown.
“She used my name, used my son’s picture to gather money that these people thought they were giving to my family,” Payton told WFLA.
The family members notified the Sheriff’s Office, which investigated and determined that Brown deposited nearly $12,000 raised into her own accounts for personal use.
“Amanda Brown stated she intended to give the funds to the families listed on the account, however, once she began receiving the funds, she began spending it for personal use,” said an affidavit from the Sheriff’s office.
“I have no use for her. She can rot,” Payton told WFLA of Brown’s arrest. “She got caught and now she’s going to have to pay for what she did.”
Tony “TJ” Wiggins, 26, has been arrested and charged in connection to the murders, WFLA <a href="https://www.wfla.com/news/polk-county/killed-over-a-truck-how-frostproof-massacre-suspect-victim-knew-each-other/">reported</a>. Police believe the crime took place after a dispute over a truck engine.

Hall of Fame quarterback Joe Montana and his wife came face to face with a home intruder who was attempting to kidnap their 9-month-old grandchild, which they thwarted, law enforcement officials said on Sunday.
Montana, an NFL star who played for the San Francisco 49ers, told deputies that his grandchild was asleep on Saturday when a woman came into their Malibu home and grabbed the child, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department. Montana and his wife Jennifer confronted the woman, later identified as Sodsai Dalzell, 39. They tried to “de-escalate the situation,” asking her to give back their grandchild, The Associated Press <a href="https://apnews.com/article/jennifer-montana-college-football-nfl-san-francisco-joe-montana-be28d4258ec3319a41d601b1da2c3ee2">reported</a>.
&#8220;A tussle ensued and Mrs. Montana was able to safely pry the child out of the suspect&#8217;s arms,&#8221; a statement from sheriff&#8217;s department reads. No one was injured during the incident, including the 9-month-old child, the department said.
Dalzell reportedly took the child to another part of the house during the incident, TMZ reported. &#8220;Turns out L.A. County Sheriff&#8217;s deputies were on the same block on an unrelated matter. Someone inside the home flagged the deputies down, told them what happened and they found the intruder a few blocks away,&#8221; TMZ <a href="https://www.tmz.com/2020/09/27/joe-montana-malibu-house-home-property-trespasser-snatches-baby/">reported</a>.
“Thank you to everyone who has reached out,” Montana wrote on Twitter. “Scary situation, but thankful that everybody is doing well. We appreciate respect for our privacy at this time.”

Dalzell fled the home but was later arrested and charged with kidnapping and burglary. The sheriff&#8217;s office declined to release any more information, saying the case was still ongoing.
Montana, 64, played 13 years of his 15-year career with the 49ers, which won four Super Bowls during the period. He retired in 1994.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced on Thursday that law enforcement officials had arrested four individuals for their alleged involvement in an illegal ballot harvesting scheme in the state&#8217;s 2018 Democrat primary election. One of the people who was arrested was the Democrat who won the primary race.
&#8220;The four individuals—Charlie Burns, Dewayne Ward, Marlena Jackson and Jackson&#8217;s husband Shannon Brown, a Democrat who was serving as Gregg County&#8217;s Precinct 4 commissioner—collectively stand accused of 134 different felony charges of election fraud and ballot tampering,&#8221; Newsweek <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/texas-official-arrested-felony-election-fraud-charges-could-face-99-year-sentence-1534183">reported</a>. &#8220;If found guilty, each individual could face six months in jail to 99 years in prison.&#8221;
The charges filed against the individuals included engaging in organized election fraud, illegal voting, fraudulent use of an application for a mail-in ballot, unlawful possession of a mail-in ballot, tampering with a governmental record, and election fraud.
&#8220;It is an unfortunate reality that elections can be stolen outright by mail ballot fraud. Election fraud, particularly an organized mail ballot fraud scheme orchestrated by political operatives, is an affront to democracy and results in voter disenfranchisement and corruption at the highest level,” Attorney General Paxton said in a statement. “Mail ballots are vulnerable to diversion, coercion, and influence by organized vote harvesting schemes. This case demonstrates my commitment to ensuring Texas has the most secure elections in the country, and I thank the Gregg County Sheriff and District Attorney for their continued partnership. Those who try to manipulate the outcome of elections in Texas must be held accountable.”
The statement from the Texas Attorney General&#8217;s office said that a grand jury had returned indictments of 23 felony counts against Democrat Commissioner Brown, 97 felony counts against Jackson, eight felony counts against Burns, and six felony counts against Ward.
The statement said that in order to win, the group allegedly &#8220;targeted young, able-bodied voters to cast ballots by mail by fraudulently claiming the voters were &#8216;disabled,&#8217; in most cases without the voters’ knowledge or consent.&#8221;

The news comes after federal law enforcement officials <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/feds-military-ballots-discarded-in-troubling-discovery-all-opened-ballots-were-cast-for-trump">announced</a> on Thursday that a handful of military ballots had been discarded in the swing state of Pennsylvania and that out of all the discarded ballots that were opened when they were discovered, all of them had voted for President Donald Trump.
“The FBI has recovered a number of documents relating to military ballots that had been improperly opened by your elections staff, and had the ballots removed and discarded, or removed and placed separately from the envelope containing confidential voter information and attestation,” U.S. Attorney David J. Freed said in a letter to Shelby Watchilla, Director of Elections of Luzerne County Bureau of Elections.
“Specifically, a total of nine (9) military ballots were discovered to have been discarded,” the letter continued. “Seven (7) of those ballots when discovered by investigators were outside of any envelope. Those ballots were all cast for presidential candidate Donald Trump. One (1) of those seven (7) ballots was able to be identified to an envelope that was recovered, and thereby potentially tied to a specific voter. Two (2) military ballots that had been discarded were previously recovered by elections staff, reinserted into what appeared to be their appropriate envelopes, and then resealed. Therefore, the votes cast on those two (2) ballots are unknown. Thus, is appears that three (3) of the nine (9) recovered ballots can be potentially attributed to specific voters. Six (6) of the ballots were simply removed and discarded, and cannot be attributed to a specific voter at this time.”

Police have arrested a second suspect in the shooting death of a 5-year-old North Carolina boy.
Police in Wilson County, North Carolina, arrested Aolani Takemi Marie Pettit, 21, earlier this week and charged her with aiding Darius Sessoms, 25, after he allegedly murdered <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/cnn-finally-covers-murder-of-5-year-old-cannon-hinnant-in-200-word-blurb">Cannon Hinnant</a>, 5, on Aug. 9, according to <a href="https://wcti12.com/news/local/second-arrest-made-in-shooting-death-of-5-year-old-cannon-hinnant">WCTI</a>. Pettit allegedly helped Sessoms escape from the police before he was found the next day, taken into custody, and charged with first-degree murder.
As <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/black-man-arrested-for-allegedly-executing-white-five-year-old-boy-in-front-of-sisters">The Daily Wire</a> reported at the time of the alleged murder:
<blockquote>On Sunday, 25-year-old black male Darius Sessoms allegedly murdered 5-year-old Cannon Hinnant, who is white, in Wilson, North Carolina, in front of the boy’s two young sisters.
Sessoms, who lived the next house over from the victim’s father, ran across the lawn to Hinnant and shot him in the head at point-blank range as his two sisters, ages seven and eight, looked on, neighbors said, <a href="https://www.wral.com/man-charged-in-5-year-old-s-death-lives-next-door-to-boy-s-father/19228045/">according</a> to WRAL.com. Hinnant was in the front yard riding his bike.
The boy’s father, too distraught to speak to local news on camera, was heard screaming after the shooting, witnesses said. The man rushed out to hold his bleeding son before Hinnant was rushed to nearby medical center, where he was later pronounced dead.</blockquote>
Cannon’s grandmother <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/gofundme-for-murdered-5-year-old-cannon-hinnant-explodes-mother-speaks-out-on-death-penalty">created</a> a fundraiser on GoFundMe following his death to help out Cannon’s family with any expenses related to his service. The fundraiser earned over $800,000 before its organizer disabled new donations.
“On Sunday, August 9th, this precious angel was playing outside with his siblings when he was murdered,” the fundraiser’s description states. “He was merely doing what he would do any other day and that’s playing with his sisters, riding his bike, doing what kids do and all of the innocence that comes with being a child.
“This family has faced unimaginable pain because of this senseless act of violence,” the description continues. “We are asking for your donations to assist with anything that may be needed for expenses related to his services. We offer our sincerest appreciation in this extremely difficult time.”
Bonny Waddell, Hinnant’s mother, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/gofundme-for-murdered-5-year-old-cannon-hinnant-explodes-mother-speaks-out-on-death-penalty">wrote</a> an emotional Facebook post after her 5-year-old’s death.
“This man will answer to me,” Waddell wrote. “That man will see me and my son through my face! This sorry excuse as a human being will rot in hell.”
“My heart has been taken from me,” she added.
“I will burn this country down if it’s what it’ll take to see [the alleged shooter] burn in hell,” she wrote in another post. “I’m ready to flip this country upside down. … We will get our justice and I’m taking every damn body down right with him!”
In an interview shortly after her son’s death, she called for Sessoms to be put to death.
“We lost a big piece of our family. We all. He changed all of our lives. He touched everybody he knew,” she said. “This man took my girls when he took my baby. They know he’s in a better place.”
“I want death penalty and I’m gonna seek it,” she added.

Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody reportedly sent a letter to the FBI and Florida Department of Law Enforcement requesting a criminal investigation into a recent report that failed Democrat presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg, a billionaire, has raised more than $16 million to help convicted felons pay off their debts in an attempt to boost Democrat presidential nominee Joe Biden in the state.
&#8220;The letter said that Moody&#8217;s office had reviewed Bloomberg&#8217;s pledge and referred the matter to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement and the FBI for a criminal investigation,&#8221; CBS 12 <a href="https://cbs12.com/news/local/florida-ag-moody-orders-investigation-into-bloombergs-pledge-to-help-felons-pay-debts">reported</a>. &#8220;Moody&#8217;s letter references Florida&#8217;s statute against paying for votes, referencing a Florida Department of State finding that said &#8216;even an otherwise innocuous offering of an incentive simply to vote can run afoul&#8217; of state election law.&#8221;
The Washington Post <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/mike-bloomberg-raises-16-million-to-allow-former-felons-to-vote-in-florida/2020/09/21/6dda787e-fc5a-11ea-8d05-9beaaa91c71f_story.html">reported</a> on Tuesday that Bloomberg and his team had raised the money &#8220;to pay the court fines and fees of nearly 32,000 Black and Hispanic Florida voters with felony convictions, an effort aimed at boosting turnout for Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden.&#8221;
The Post added that &#8220;Bloomberg’s advisers identified that group as both likely to vote for Biden and more likely to vote than other groups of former felons.&#8221;
The letter from the Florida Attorney General&#8217;s office added the following statement from the Florida Department of State, Division of Elections, which came in response to an inquiry by a political committee:
<blockquote>Even other innocuous offering of an incentive simply to vote could run afoul of section 104.045 or section 104.061, or both, depending upon the circumstances involved. That is, incentives could be offered to a voter in a way that would be designed to directly or indirectly cause the voter or a larger group of voters to vote in a particular manner. In such a case, the person giving the incentive could be guilty of violating section 104.061, Florida Statutes, which makes it illegal to &#8220;directly or indirectly give or promise anything of value to another in casting his or her vote.&#8221;</blockquote>
An adviser to Bloomberg told The Washington Post that one of the reasons that Bloomberg wanted to do this was because &#8220;it immediately activates tens of thousands of voters who are predisposed to vote for Joe Biden.&#8221;
After listing off various statutes that may apply to the case, the letter concluded by asking the agencies to launch an investigation into Bloomberg&#8217;s actions.
&#8220;After preliminarily reviewing this limited public information and law, it appears further investigation is warranted,&#8221; the letter concluded. &#8220;Accordingly, I request that your agencies further investigate this matter and take appropriate steps as merited.&#8221;
Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) has appeared on several Fox News shows over the last 24 hours where he has called for an investigation to be opened into the matter.
Gaetz <a href="https://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/politics/elections/fl-ne-matt-gaetz-bloomberg-felon-vote-investigation-20200923-w4tb2hoypbec5osrx6uocpgemi-story.html">said</a>, “This is a specific inducement, to a specific segment of voters, to get them to vote a certain way, and I think it could be a crime.”

A 25-year-old Georgia man has been sentenced to 40 years in prison after being convicted of producing and distributing child pornography.
Benjamin Jenkins was convicted in January for contacting underage girls as young as 13 by pretending to be someone else. He would coax the girls into providing him sexually suggestive photos of themselves. Once she sent a photo, Jenkins would then threaten to post the photos online or send them to her friends and family if she did not send him additional photos, the Justice Department said in a <a href="https://www.justice.gov/usao-ndga/pr/prolific-sextortionist-sentenced-40-years">press release</a> on Tuesday. Jenkins victimized as many as 150 girls in this way.
“Jenkins exploited as many as 150 girls for his perverse satisfaction, causing unbelievable trauma to these children and their families,” said U.S. Attorney Byung J. Pak. “The sheer degradation and depravity that Jenkins forced his victims to endure is unimaginable. This sentence will hopefully help these courageous victims and their families heal.”
Jenkins was convicted on nine counts of producing child pornography and three counts of distributing child pornography.
The Justice Department described Jenkins as a “prolific sextortionist” and explained that he would instruct the girls on how to pose in subsequent photos and what body parts they should show him, as well as “what objects to insert into their genitals and anus.”
“If a girl did not provide him with a photo or video quickly enough, he would start a countdown clock: the girl had a certain amount of time to provide him with an image before he started posting her other images online. Jenkins further humiliated his victims by forcing them to send him videos showing them drinking their own urine or licking toilets. He also humiliated many of his victims by making them watch him masturbate,” the Justice Department said.
Some girls blocked Jenkins online, and he would retaliate by following through on his threats. He would send the photos to the girls’ parents and friends, demanding she start sending pictures again. He would also post the photos online with the victim’s contact information, calling on other men to contact the girls for photos or for sex.
Jenkins was sentenced to 40 years in prison and a lifetime of supervision after he is released. He will also be required to register as a sex offender.
“No sentence will ever bring back the innocence that this monster stole from hundreds of girls,” said acting Special Agent in Charge Robert Hammer, who oversees Homeland Security Investigations operations in Georgia and Alabama. “These victims were trapped in a vicious cycle from which they could not escape.  We will continue to go after these predators while educating our youth about the dangers of sextortion.”
Jenkins’ case was part of the Justice Department’s Project Safe Childhood, which was launched in 2006 to help protect children from online exploitation and abuse.

Police in New Jersey are searching for three suspects after the home of two police officers — a couple — was shot at least half a dozen times while they and their newborn were inside.
The shooting took place on Tuesday night and Camden police believe it was carried out by three people. The two officers and their newborn baby were on the second floor of the home when the shooting took place, according to <a href="https://www.tapinto.net/towns/camden/sections/police-and-fire/articles/home-of-2-camden-police-officers-hit-by-gunfire-with-newborn-inside">TAP Into Camden</a>.
The Camden Police Department is <a href="https://www.tapinto.net/towns/camden/articles/reward-increased-to-40k-as-manhunt-continues-for-gunmen-who-shot-at-camden-cops">offering</a> a $40,000 reward for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of the shooters. The initial $20,000 reward was doubled on Friday after the New Jersey State Policemen’s Benevolent Association, a union representing roughly 33,000 officers across the state, pledged an additional $20,000.
Camden County Police Chief Joe Wysocki addressed the shooting on Thursday during a press conference.
“It hurts&#8230;I have 400 officers out there. Everybody&#8217;s hurt at this point. There&#8217;s a lot of anxiety. We see what&#8217;s going on around the country. There are great residents here in the city. I&#8217;m not going to let [the shooters] change what is going on here in Camden,” Wysocki said.
“We located seven spent shell cases on the scene and the house was struck six times with the bullets penetrating the interior of the house,” he added.
Camden County Freeholder Director Lou Cappelli also spoke at the press conference and related the violence against the police couple, who are now on leave while the investigation takes place, to a broader spate of violence and activism targeting law enforcement across the country.
“I want to send a very clear message to the scumbag thugs behind this senseless act. We&#8217;re coming to get you, and you will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law,” Cappelli said. “If you think you can get away with these crimes, under the cover of some unfortunate acts that may have taken place in other parts of the nation, or under cover [of] some national movement, you are wrong.”
In California, the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/l-a-sheriffs-department-offers-six-figure-reward-for-info-in-shooting-of-ambushed-deputies">Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department</a> is offering a $675,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of presumably two people involved in the shooting of two deputies. In what law enforcement officials described as an ambush, a gunman walked up to a sheriff’s department vehicle and shot the two deputies inside, each in the head. Both deputies survived the attack, and one was released from the hospital on Thursday.
The manhunt has carried on for nearly a week as the sheriff’s office has increased its reward.
As <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/reward-explodes-to-675k-for-suspected-shooter-of-ambushed-la-county-deputies">The Daily Wire</a> reports:
<blockquote>The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors initially offered a reward of $100,000 on Sunday for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of the shooter, but the reward has since grown as other government agencies and private entities have added to the pot. By Thursday, the reward offering had jumped to $675,000, according to <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/US/reward-wanted-gunman-shot-los-angeles-sheriffs-deputies/story?id=73062985">ABC News</a>.

A reward for information that leads to the conviction of a gunman for shooting two Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies has skyrocketed to nearly $700,000 in just a few days.
The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors initially offered a reward of $100,000 on Sunday for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of the shooter, but the reward has since grown as other government agencies and private entities have added to the pot. By Thursday, the reward offering had jumped to $675,000, according to <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/US/reward-wanted-gunman-shot-los-angeles-sheriffs-deputies/story?id=73062985">ABC News</a>.
The Association for Los Angeles Deputy Sheriffs pitched in $75,000 and the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority, which the deputies were monitoring when they were shot, donated an additional $25,000. Private donors gave $75,000 more to the offering.
A separate fund is also growing to help the two deputies shot in the incident recover. A <a href="https://www.gofundme.com/f/back-the-bear">GoFundMe</a> page launched by sheriff&#8217;s detective Keegan McInnis and dedicated to paying the deputies’ substantial medical bills had soared past $660,000 by Friday morning on toward its goal of $750,000.
The GoFundMe page explains:
<blockquote>Two LASD Deputies were ambushed while sitting in their patrol car. Both Deputies will require multiple surgeries and have a long road to recovery ahead of them. We are asking for our brothers and sisters in our communities as well as our brothers and sisters in law enforcement to come together and help us raise money to ensure their needs and the needs of their families are taken care of.
We will be partnering with our union’s relief fund, ALADS C.A.R.E.S., who at the conclusion of the GoFundMe will take control of the funds and distribute them directly to the two Deputies.</blockquote>
Two <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/l-a-sheriffs-department-offers-six-figure-reward-for-info-in-shooting-of-ambushed-deputies">Los Angeles County deputies</a>, a 24-year-old man, and a 31-year-old mother, were shot on Saturday night by a gunman who can be seen on video walking up to their patrol car and firing multiple rounds through the passenger side window. Law enforcement officials said the attack was an ambush that left both deputies in critical condition.
Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva posted an update on Twitter on Wednesday that the one of the deputies, the 24-year-old man, was released from the hospital.
“We at @LASDHQ appreciate the outpouring of prayers and support you have shown for our ambushed deputies,” Villanueva said. “Great news, one of those deputies was released from the hospital today. He has a long road ahead for recovery. But he&#8217;s not alone. We, as a community, are in this together.”

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Earlier this week, Villanueva challenged NBA star <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/la-county-sheriff-to-lebron-step-up-to-the-plate-and-double-reward-to-find-man-who-shot-deputies">LeBron James</a>, known for his activism against police brutality, to donate to the growing reward to catch the person or people who carried out the attack on the deputies. James has yet to respond publicly to Villanueva.
“This challenge is to Lebron James. I want you to match that and double that reward,” Villanueva said. “I know you care about law enforcement. You expressed a very interesting statement about your perspective on race relations and on officer-involved shootings and the impact that it has on the African-American community. And I appreciated that. But likewise, we need to appreciate that respect for life goes across professions, across races, creeds, and I’d like to see LeBron James step up to the plate and double that.”

The U.S. Department of Justice on Thursday unsealed an indictment that charged three Iranian nationals with hacking U.S. computers, stealing “hundreds of terabytes of data” relating to national security.
“For the third time in three days, the Department has charged Iranian hackers,” said Assistant Attorney General for National Security John C. Demers in <a href="https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/state-sponsored-iranian-hackers-indicted-computer-intrusions-us-satellite-companies">a press release</a>. “This case highlights the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ efforts to infiltrate the networks of American companies in search of valuable commercial information and intellectual property. It is yet another effort by a rogue foreign nation to steal the fruits of this country’s hard work and expertise.”
The indictment alleges that the three hackers began their campaign around July 2015 and continued through at least February 2019. At one point, the DOJ press release said, the hackers had “a target list of over 1,800 online accounts, including accounts belonging to organizations and companies involved in aerospace or satellite technology and international government organizations in Australia, Israel, Singapore, the United States, and the United Kingdom.”
Over the half-decade in which the hackers operated, they &#8220;stole hundreds of terabytes of data, which typically included confidential communications pertaining to national security, foreign policy intelligence, non-military nuclear information, aerospace data, human rights activist information, victim financial information and personally identifiable information, and intellectual property, including unpublished scientific research,&#8221; the indictment alleges.
In order to do this, the hackers “engaged in a coordinated campaign of social engineering to identify real U.S. citizens working in the satellite and aerospace fields whose identities the defendants could assume online,” the DOJ said, adding:
<blockquote> The defendants then impersonated those individuals and used their stolen identities to register email addresses and fraudulently purchase domains and hacking tools for use in the scheme.  The defendants then created customized spear phishing emails that purported to be from the individuals whose identities the defendants had stolen, in an attempt to entice the recipients to click on malicious links embedded in the emails.  Once a recipient clicked on a malicious link, malware would be downloaded to the individual’s computer, giving the defendants unauthorized access to the recipient’s computer and network.  The defendants then used additional hacking tools to maintain unauthorized access, escalate their privileges, and steal data sought by the IRGC.  Using these methods, the defendants successfully compromised multiple victim networks, resulting in the theft of sensitive commercial information, intellectual property, and personal data from victim companies, including a satellite-tracking company and a satellite voice and data communication company.</blockquote>
The three Iranians charged with the hacks are 34-year-old Said Pourkarim Arabi, 34-year-old Mohammad Bayati, and Mohammad Reza Espargham, whose age is unknown. Arabi was a member of the IRGC.
Each one faces a maximum of 20 years in prison for their alleged crimes.
“Today’s charges are yet another example of the FBI’s dedication to investigating those who target and attempt to steal data and proprietary information from the U.S.,” said James A. Dawson, Assistant Director in Charge of the FBI’s Washington Field Office. “Today’s charges allege that these individuals conspired in a coordinated campaign with known IRGC members and acted at their direction. The defendants targeted thousands of individuals in an attempt to steal critical information related to U.S. aerospace and satellite technology. The FBI remains dedicated to protecting the U.S., and we continue to impose risk and consequences on cyber adversaries through our unique authorities, world-class capabilities, and enduring partnerships.”

The Democrat-controlled Minneapolis City Council is reportedly panicking as violent crime is surging throughout the city after they called for defunding the police department following the death of George Floyd in late May.
During a two-hour Minneapolis City Council meeting on police reform, &#8220;council members told police Chief Medaria Arradondo that their constituents are seeing and hearing street racing which sometimes results in crashes, brazen daylight carjackings, robberies, assaults and shootings,&#8221; MPR News <a href="https://www.mprnews.org/story/2020/09/15/with-violent-crime-on-the-rise-in-mpls-city-council-asks-where-are-the-police">reported</a>. &#8220;The number of reported violent crimes, like assaults, robberies and homicides are up compared to 2019, according to MPD crime data. More people have been killed in the city in the first nine months of 2020 than were slain in all of last year. Property crimes, like burglaries and auto thefts, are also up. Incidents of arson have increased 55 percent over the total at this point in 2019.&#8221;
&#8220;Residents are asking, ‘Where are the police’?” said city council member Jamal Osman. MPR News says that Osman indicated that he has been flooded with complaints with residents that their calls for help from the police are not being answered. The report said that some city council members whose constituents live in safer areas are now feeling &#8220;terrorized.&#8221;
&#8220;That is the only public safety option they have at the moment: MPD,&#8221; Osman said. &#8220;They rely on MPD. And they are saying they are nowhere to be seen.&#8221;
City Council President Lisa Bender, who led the charge in the initial calls to defund the police department, complained that she thought the officers were being defiant.
“This is not new,” Bender claimed. “But it is very concerning in the current context.”
The news comes as approximately 100 officers have left the department or taken a leave of absence since the start of the year, more than double the normal rate.
Councilmember Phillipe Cunningham called out those on the city council who were complaining about the lack of a policing after they had called for defunding the police department.
Cunningham said, “What I am sort of flabbergasted by right now is colleagues, who a very short time ago were calling for abolition, are now suggesting we should be putting more resources and funding into MPD.”
Just days after Floyd&#8217;s death, the Minneapolis City Council <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/minneapolis-city-council-unanimously-passes-resolution-to-replace-police-department-with-community-led-public-safety-system">voted unanimously</a> to pass a resolution to replace the Minneapolis Police Department with a supposed “community-led public safety system.”
“Our commitment is to end our city’s toxic relationship with the Minneapolis Police Department,” Bender said. “It is clear that our system of policing is not keeping our communities safe. Our efforts at incremental reform have failed, period.”
Bender proceeded to do a series of media interviews in which she gave controversial answers to basic questions about the city council&#8217;s proposal.
“Do you understand that the word, dismantle, or police-free also makes some people nervous, for instance?&#8221; CNN&#8217;s Alisyn Camerota asked Bender. &#8220;What if in the middle of night, my home is broken into? Who do I call?”
“Yes, I mean, hear that loud and clear from a lot of my neighbors,” Bender <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/watch-minneapolis-city-council-president-asked-who-to-call-if-someone-breaks-into-your-house-after-dismantling-police-says-step-back-check-your-privileg">responded</a>. “And I know — and myself, too, and I know that that comes from a place of privilege. Because for those of us for whom the system is working, I think we need to step back and imagine what it would feel like to already live in that reality where calling the police may mean more harm is done.”
When asked during a separate CNN interview what would happen if a killer was running loose and an armed police officer was needed, Bender admitted, “we don’t have all the answers.”
Others, like the congresswoman who represents the district, far-left Rep. Ilhan Omar (D), <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/democrat-ilhan-omar-defund-minneapolis-police-theyre-cancer-we-dont-want-your-damn-reforms">called</a> the police department a &#8220;cancer.&#8221;

A Chicago felon who was being monitored electronically following charges of possessing a stolen firearm as a felon has now been charged with allegedly shooting five people over the weekend, two of whom died.
CWB Chicago <a href="https://cwbchicago.com/2020/09/more-men-charged-with-shooting-people-while-free-bail-for-gun-charges.html">reported</a> that a 39-year-old man was holding a party in his backyard on Saturday when he ordered everyone to leave around 2 a.m. He then started shooting, hitting five people, killing two. One partygoer with a concealed carry permit fired back, critically injuring the original shooter, before he was killed.
“[Chicago Police Department] records show [the gunman] was arrested in April 2019 for being a felon in possession of a firearm and possession of a stolen firearm. He went home on electronic monitoring to await trial,” CWB Chicago reported.
“Every weekend, we can bring forth an example of a person out of jail that should be in jail,” CPD Superintendent David Brown said at a press conference on Monday.
As CWB reported, the gunman &#8220;has five previous felony convictions, including two for illegal gun possession.”
The latest incident comes at the same time that Chicago State’s Attorney Kim Foxx claimed gun violence was increasing in the city, touting the city’s Gun Crimes Strategies Unit in a tweet on Monday.
“Our innovative Gun Crimes Strategies Unit puts prosecutors directly into police districts struggling with high rates of gun violence &#8211; where it&#8217;s decreasing at a higher rate than the city as a whole. These data-driven efforts show the reality of addressing both safety &amp; reform,” Foxx tweeted while linking to a tweet from the State’s Attorney’s Office that provided a study showing arrests are up in the districts with prosecutors. That <a href="https://www.cookcountystatesattorney.org/news/innovative-state-s-attorney-s-office-program-results-dramatic-increase-repeat-gun-charges">study</a>, from the University of Chicago Crime Lab analyzing CPD records, claimed that fatal and non-fatal shootings in the five districts with a GCSU prosecutor “decreased by 35% from 2016 to 2018, compared to 31% for districts without an embedded prosecutor.”
Rafael Mangual, a senior fellow in criminal justice at the Manhattan Institute, however, pointed out CPD statistics show “*both* homicides *and* shooting incidents are each up 52% YTD through 9/6. In terms of districts, *both* murders *and* shootings are up in the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th, 12th, 14th, 15th, 16th, 17th, 18th, 22nd, 24th, and 25th.”
GCSU prosecutors were placed in the 6th, 7th, 10th, 11th, and 15th districts.
CWB Chicago also provided more examples of people returning to the streets thanks to Chicago’s affordable bail initiative only to commit violent crimes:
<blockquote>On February 16, prosecutors charged 18-year-old Dimitris Horns with aggravated unlawful use of a weapon and possessing a gun with a defaced serial number after he allegedly ditched a handgun while running from police.
Judge David Navarro allowed Horns to go onto electronic monitoring by posting a $500 deposit bond, according to court records.
Then, on July 8, Horns repeatedly pistol-whipped a man and shot him in the leg during a robbery that netted Horns $130, according to allegations made in court.
Prosecutors charged him with aggravated discharge of a firearm, discharging a firearm causing bodily harm during a robbery, and other felonies. He was also charged with escaping electronic monitoring and held on a warrant for reckless discharge of a firearm as a juvenile, according to court records.
Horns’ case does not qualify for Foxx’s “repeat offender” tally because the second alleged crime occurred after June 30, the deadline for qualifying as a “reoffender” under her scenario.</blockquote>

In May, 17-year-old Sincere Williams allegedly stole 14 handguns from a Chicago gun store before he was quickly caught by police.
The owner of Suburban Sporting Goods Guns &amp; Ammo <a href="https://chicago.cbslocal.com/2020/09/11/melrose-park-gun-shop-owner-says-sincere-williams-burglarized-his-store-months-ago-should-not-have-been-on-street-when-walgreens-murder-happened/">told</a> CBS 2 that Williams attempted to steal 14 handguns from his store and should not have been on the streets when the teen allegedly killed Walgreens clerk Olga Marie Calderon.
Williams allegedly took a bus to Melrose Park in Chicago, where the gun store is located, in May armed with a hammer. The gun store owner said Williams smashed the front glass at least 20 times before breaking in and taking 14 handguns. He was quickly arrested and charged as a juvenile even though he was two months away from his 18th birthday.
“That’s a pretty heinous crime,” the gun store owner told CBS 2. “These weren’t hunting guns. He wasn’t stealing to feed his family. These were likely going somewhere very bad.”
“I was kind of enraged. It’s like, here’s this kid that broke into a gun store and stole several firearms,” the owner said of Williams being charged as a juvenile. “Just because he was caught, it doesn’t lessen the severity of the crime.”
Williams was released from police custody, but ordered to wear an electronic monitoring bracelet. In August, the gun shop owner told CBS 2, Williams allegedly violated the conditions of his electronic monitoring agreement. Yet for some reason, the court ordered the bracelet be removed and the Cook County State’s Attorney didn’t object, CBS 2 reported.
After the monitoring bracelet was removed, Williams allegedly robbed two Walgreens stores in Chicago. Four days after one of those robberies, he returned to the store and allegedly stabbed 32-year-old clerk Calderon 10 times. Calderon died from her injuries.
CBS 2 <a href="https://chicago.cbslocal.com/2020/09/09/suspect-prepared-to-kill-walgreens-clerk-in-wicker-park-prosecutors/">reported</a> Wednesday on court documents related to the stabbing. Surveillance footage purportedly shows Williams stab the victim and then “calmly” walk out of the store with the knife, through the parking lot, and out of view. Prosecutors in the case alleged Williams had a change of clothes stashed nearby that he changed into before walking home. Police and home cameras allegedly show him walking home in this different outfit and throwing his bloody clothes in some bushes near a house.
“You can clearly see the Defendant’s face and the blood stain on his pants,” court documents read, according to CBS 2.
Police found the knife they believe killed Calderon, and a second knife.
“Prosecutors say recovered gloves with cuts in them also helped identify Williams. Officers said when they arrested him he had a cut on his hand. His mother told police she took him to the hospital to get stitches after the murder. She claims her son told her he cut his hand on a fence,” CBS 2 reported. “Officers also executed a search warrant of Williams’ residence where they say they found a pair of shoes matching those worn in the videos and a shoe box containing packaging for a knife of the same brand and model number as the knife found when officers canvassed the area of the Walgreens.”
Williams’ public defender said in court that his client suffers from schizophrenia. Williams’ bail has been denied.

As expected, a government loan program that quickly issued money during a crisis ended up getting defrauded.
The Paycheck Protection Program, which was supposed to help small businesses stay afloat during the coronavirus pandemic, was allegedly used by some to purchase expensive luxury items such as Rolex watches and new homes, Politico <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2020/09/09/small-business-loan-fraud-crackdown-410406">reported</a>. So far, the apparent fraud is just a small portion of the loans given out, but it still shows how easily government-run programs can be abused.
“The Justice Department has brought more than 40 cases involving false applications for more than $170 million from both the Paycheck Protection Program and another federal lending vehicle. And the Small Business Administration&#8217;s inspector general&#8217;s office says it has ‘initiated hundreds of cases involving potential fraud’ in the two programs,” the outlet reported. “Officials are targeting people who submitted false applications with the SBA — mostly through the PPP, which offered loans to employers that can be forgiven if they agreed not to fire workers. Prosecutors are also focusing on the Economic Injury Disaster Loan program, which relies on funds directly from the government, not private banks.”
The Justice Department has opened a reported 40 cases involving false applications &#8212; totaling more than $170 million from the PPP and another federal lending program. On September 1, Politico reported, House Democrats said they found “red flags in nearly $3 billion in Paycheck Protection loans after checking the information that borrowers provided against a federal business registration database.”
The database could always be outdated, but it is possible there could be millions more or even billions of misspent dollars meant to help people during the pandemic. Republicans noted that the alleged fraud was a tiny percentage of the $525 billion set aside for PPP loans.
More from Politico:
<blockquote>Taxpayer advocates said the cases underscore the need for more transparency and that the amount of data released by the government is unacceptable — even as Congress is already considering whether to make it easier for PPP loans of less than $150,000 to be forgiven.
Court records for many of the fraud schemes detail how individuals allegedly used money intended to fund their payrolls in order to bankroll personal purchases. Once their applications were approved, some of them left a money trail showing they wired millions to their personal accounts or those of friends and family, investigators say. Others purchased high-end jewelry, cars and property, while some hoarded bundles of cash. In one case, the DOJ charges <a href="https://www.justice.gov/usao-sdtx/pr/houston-entrepreneur-charged-spending-covid-relief-funds-improper-expenses-including">thousands in PPP funds were spent at strip clubs</a>.
Federal officials have seized luxury goods such as Rolex watches, including a <a href="https://subscriber.politicopro.com/f/?id=00000172-100e-d930-a77f-b3bf3a320000">diamond-encrusted custom model</a>; a luxury car fleet with multiple Lamborghinis, a 2020 Ford F-350 and a Rolls-Royce Wraith; a <a href="https://www.justice.gov/usao-dc/pr/district-man-charged-over-2-million-paycheck-protection-program-and-related-loan-fraud">rowhouse in Washington</a> and <a href="https://www.justice.gov/usao-nv/pr/nevada-man-charged-using-covid-relief-funds-buy-house">a home in the Mojave Desert town of Henderson, Nev.</a>; and a $3,750 diamond pinky ring.</blockquote>
While Politico may have tried to tie the fraud to Trump administration incompetence, it is not uncommon for people to abuse federal programs in a time of crisis. During the Obama administration, the Justice Department also investigated <a href="https://www.thefiscaltimes.com/Articles/2012/04/06/Justice-Department-Probing-Widespread-Stimulus-Fraud">widespread fraud</a> associated with then-President Barack Obama’s stimulus program. The DOJ opened a whopping 1,268 fraud cases but recovered only $57 million. The PPP investigations will likely follow a similar route.

A Tennessee man was arrested Thursday after calling 911 more than 1100 times since mid-July &#8212; all for non-emergencies. During one of the calls, the man asked the 911 operator if they would like to buy some eggrolls.
The calls did not come from a dumb teenager during a misguided prank but from 54-year-old Memphis resident Huu Nguyen, KXAN <a href="https://www.kxan.com/news/tennessee-man-arrested-after-calling-911-asking-if-dispatcher-wanted-to-buy-egg-rolls/">reported</a>. Nguyen was arrested for allegedly calling 911 about 1,171 times since July 15 with no discernible emergency. The <a href="http://www.thesmokinggun.com/file/egg-roll-911">police report</a>, uploaded by The Smoking Gun, shows police alleged that Nguyen called 911 a total of 241 times on September 1 alone, and 32 times on September 2.
During one of the dozens of calls made on September 2, Nguyen allegedly asked 911 dispatchers if they wanted to buy some eggrolls before hanging up.
Nguyen made the calls from his personal cell phone. He was arrested outside a Memphis shopping center on Thursday and had his iPhone seized by police. He was charged with making non-emergency phone calls to 911, a misdemeanor. He was released on his own recognizance from Shelby County jail and must appear in court on November 20 for a hearing related to the charges.
The Smoking Gun <a href="http://www.thesmokinggun.com/documents/bizarre/egg-roll-call-915027">reported</a> that Nguyen “has several prior convictions for misusing the emergency dispatch system and has been branded a ‘habitual 911 abuser’ by police.”
“Nguyen was arrested yesterday outside a Memphis building that is home to a Vietnamese restaurant and the Oriental Best Market. The criminal complaint does not indicate whether Nguyen has any connection to either business (or ready access to egg rolls),” the outlet added.
The outlet has published numerous reports of other strange abuses of the 911 system. In May, a 50-year-old Ohio woman <a href="http://www.thesmokinggun.com/buster/misuse-911/ohioan-claimed-her-pussy-was-ablaze-701438">was arrested</a> after calling 911 and claiming her “p**** was on fire” and needed the fire department to “put it out with their hose.” The woman, Katrina Morgan, hung up after her statement. When dispatchers called her back, she again said she repeated her claim. Cops went to Morgan’s house and reported that she “appeared highly intoxicated.” She was arrested.
In February, a 36-year-old Ohio woman, Seloni Khetarpal, <a href="http://www.thesmokinggun.com/buster/misuse-911/phone-service-shut-309176">was arrested</a> after calling 911 “to complain that her parents had shut off her cellphone service,” the outlet reported. Khetarpal was told that 911 was only to be used for emergencies, but the woman called back two hours later to complain again. She was then arrested.
In January, a Wisconsin man called 911 four times in 37 minutes with some odd requests. Benjamin Duddles had been making odd 911 calls for the better part of a decade, including a 2013 call telling police he wanted “a female removed from his bed” because she was “now snoring like a train and he wants her out.” He had also previously called 911 to “tell dispatchers that he loved them.” His most recent calls told a female dispatcher, “It would be super duper cool if we could spend some quality time together.” In another call, he asked a male dispatcher, “Well, do you wanna, you know, fool around?”
Duddles was found to be intoxicated and was arrested.

Man Calls 911 More Than 1100 Times, Asks If They Want To Buy Eggrolls

A Tennessee man was arrested Thursday after calling 911 more than 1100 times since mid-July -- all for non-emergencies. During one of the calls, the man

A woman in Spain falsely claimed her ex-boyfriend kidnapped her in front of her home in October 2016, leading to him spending several days in jail before CCTV footage revealed she lied about the crime.
Vanesa Gesto accused her ex-boyfriend, whom the Daily Wire will not name because he is innocent, of kidnapping her outside her home and then dumping her, semi-naked, elsewhere after pouring superglue into her vagina. She told police that her ex-boyfriend abducted her in a black car.
The ex-boyfriend was arrested and spent several days in jail before Gesto’s lies were uncovered, the Daily Mail <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8697217/Woman-glued-vagina-bizarre-bid-frame-ex-boyfriend-jailed-ten-years.html?ito=social-twitter_mailonline">reported</a>.
CCTV cameras showed Gesto buying what police called a “kidnap kit,” including knives she used to slash herself, from a Chinese-run supermarket in Bembimbre. Additional footage showed that the only vehicle that drove past the area where she claimed she was kidnapped was a garbage truck, not the car she claimed her ex drove.
The Mail reported that on Thursday, Gesto was convicted in the Spanish city of Leon on two counts of making a false police report. She was sentenced to 10 years in prison, a lengthy sentence for a woman who made up a false claim against a man. Typically, women who falsely accuse men of crimes &#8212; especially crimes of a sexual nature &#8212; receive little to no punishment, especially in America.
Prosecutors in the case, according to the Mail, requested Gesto be sentenced to 11 years and eight months in prison.
In addition to her lengthy prison sentence, Gesto was ordered to pay her ex-boyfriend €25,000, or just over $29,000.
The outlet further reported that “Gesto&#8217;s original lawyer Emilia Esteban cut ties with her former client after it emerged she had tried to frame [the ex-boyfriend] over the made-up October 2016 crime.”
“I always believed Vanesa and that&#8217;s why I defended her. I feel humiliated and deceived,” Esteban said.
The brother of Gesto’s ex-boyfriend, maintained the falsely accused man’s innocence, telling police from the minute the accusations were lodged that his brother was sleeping when the alleged attack was said to have occurred.
“Our mum spent days crying after he was arrested,” the brother said.
Gesto was called the “Glue Liar’ in Spain.
A sentence of 10 years is rarely given to women who falsely accuse men of crimes. The most recent similar example is that of Jemma Beale, the British fabulist who made numerous false accusations over a three-year period. Beale accused six men of sexual assault and nine of rape. She was sentenced to 10 years in prison. In March 2019, her appeal for her perjury and perverting the course of justice convictions was upheld. The Court of Appeal denied Beale’s claims that the jury was not provided directions about the “danger of assumptions, myths and stereotypes&#8221; regarding alleged victims of sexual abuse, the BBC <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-london-47738892">reported</a> at the time. An appellate judge argued that usually only applied for victims, not defendants, and that Beale had harmed the justice system with her lies.
&#8220;The idea that a woman could send an innocent man to prison for years solely so she could obtain compensation beggars belief,&#8221; the judge said.

Jacob Blake, who was paralyzed from the waist down following a police shooting as he was arrested, appearing via Zoom to pleaded not guilty to the charges against him that led to his arrest on August 23.
Appearing remotely from his hospital bed with his attorney, Patrick Cafferty, Blake pleaded not guilty to felony third-degree sexual assault, misdemeanor trespassing, and disorderly conduct connected to domestic abuse. His attorney waived a reading of the charges and a preliminary hearing.
Zeke Wiedenfeld, who is prosecuting the case, requested a $10,000 signature bond due to Blake’s injuries, while noting the seriousness of the charges. Wiedenfiel also requested conditions be placed on Blake’s bond, including no violent contact with the alleged victim or her children. Cafferty did not object to any of the conditions.
A no violent contact order means Blake can still have contact with the alleged victim and her children, but he cannot become hostile in any way during that contact, including verbal or physical abuse.
Wiedenfeld also said the state had not offered Blake any plea deals, but he and Cafferty agreed that such discussion would take place in the future.
Court commissioner Loren Keating then explained that the case would be sent to Judge Bruce E. Schroeder, who was appointed by former Wisconsin Gov. Tony Earl, a Democrat. Schroeder’s term as judge ends this year.
A pre-trial conference with Judge Schroeder was scheduled for October 12, and jury selection for Blake’s trial will take place November 9.

Blake was charged on July 6 with multiple offenses relating to allegations from a woman identified in court documents only as LNB, Blake’s ex-girlfriend. The criminal complaint against Blake <a href="https://archive.is/YcYRU">stated</a>:
<blockquote>LNB stated at about 6AM she was woken up by the father of her children, Jacob Blake, herein known as the defendant, standing over her saying, “I want my s***.” As LNB lay there, on her back, the defendant, suddenly and without warning, reached his hand between her legs, penetrated her vaginally with a finger, pull it out and sniffed it, and said, “Smells like you’ve been with other men.”
Officer Raiche reported LNB had a very difficult time telling him this and cried as she told how the defendant assaulted her and then the defendant immediately left the bedroom.
LNB stated the defendant penetrating her digitally caused her pain and humiliation and was done without her consent. LNB stated she was upset but collected herself and ran after the defendant out the front door and then realized her vehicle was missing. LNB ran back inside to her purse, which was on the kitchen counter and checked it, quickly realizing her key to her truck (Ford Explorer 2002), a black individual key and the only key for the vehicle and her Great Lakes Debit Card were missing. LNB immediately called 911 and while waiting for Officers, checked her Great Lakes Account and saw two fraudulent ATM withdrawals on May 3, 2020 that she did not make, both at PNC Bank, 3920 Washington Road, both for $500, at an unknown time.
LNB stated she and the defendant have three children together but have never resided together in the eight years they have been on and off. LNB stated the defendant is unemployed, has no vehicle, and would not tell LNB where he was currently living. LNB stated over the past eight years the defendant has physically assaulted her around twice a year when he drinks heavily.</blockquote>
Despite the allegations and the recent popularity of the #MeToo movement, the shooting of Blake spurred more protests and riots around the country.

Police in Boulder, Colorado, are searching for a woman that allegedly attacked a young boy earlier this week who was riding his bike while carrying a pro-Trump sign.
&#8220;The attack happened just after noon on Monday when the boy was riding his bike northbound on Folsom Street near Glenwood Drive,&#8221; CBS4 News <a href="https://denver.cbslocal.com/2020/09/03/assault-trump-campaign-sign-boulder-boy/">reported</a>. &#8220;Police said a woman on a moped passed him and spotted the sign that he had on the back of his bike.&#8221;
The woman then reportedly made a U-turn, approached the 12-year-old boy, and then started to punch him &#8220;in the back of the head and the arms&#8221; over his apparent support for the president.
&#8220;The woman then allegedly tried to take the sign away from the boy, but he was &#8216;using it to defend himself against the attack,'&#8221; CBS4 added. &#8220;The boy said he was struck between four and five times and also got scratched on the arm.&#8221;
The boy described the woman as being &#8220;white, in her late 20’s to mid-30’s with blondish brown hair past her shoulders,&#8221; according to <a href="https://www.thedenverchannel.com/news/local-news/12-year-old-boy-with-trump-sign-assaulted-by-woman-in-boulder-police-say">The Denver Channel</a>. &#8220;She was last seen wearing a small tan jacket, a blue shirt and blue jeans and was riding a grayish blue moped with a black seat.&#8221;
The boy’s father, Jesse Rosales, told police that she told the boy right before attacking him, “You want something to look at?” Rosales said that he plans to file criminal charges against the woman if she is located by law enforcement.
“Recalling the attack, the boy told Denver7 the woman ‘just looked at me and laughed’ as she passed him before she reportedly started hitting him,” The Denver Channel added. “The boy said he was confused as the attack was happening and told Denver7 he is disappointed with people who attack others solely for their political views.”
“I like showing what I believe in,” the boy said. “I didn’t want any conflict – I just wanted to show what I believe in.”
The boy told the local news station that he is now afraid to show his support for Trump.
“Just don’t attack people ‘cause what she did to me – that’s not okay,” the boy said.
The alleged incident in Colorado is just the latest of act of political violence to happen in recent days.
Over the weekend, a right-wing protester was murdered in Portland when a far-left Antifa extremist shot him to death. The suspect, 48-year-old Michael Forest Reinoehl, was killed late on Thursday night after law enforcement officials moved in to arrest him and he reportedly pulled a gun on them.
Officials said that Reinoehl “was killed during the encounter in Lacey, Wash., southwest of Seattle, when a federal fugitive task force moved to apprehend him,” The New York Times <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/09/03/us/michael-reinoehl-arrest-portland-shooting.html">reported</a>. “An arrest warrant had been issued by the Portland police earlier Thursday.”
During an interview that aired on VICE News yesterday, Reinoehl <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-authorities-kill-far-left-extremist-accused-of-murdering-trump-supporter-in-portland-report-says">said</a>: &#8220;Lots of lawyers suggest that I shouldn’t even be saying anything, but I feel it’s important that the world at least gets a little bit of what’s really going on because there’s been a lot of propaganda put out there. I had no choice, I mean, I had a choice, I could have sat there and watched them kill a friend of mine of color, but I wasn’t gonna do that.&#8221;

A man walking down a street in Baltimore was unknowingly attacked by another man with two bricks on Sunday, reports and video evidence suggests. The vicious sneak attack, which was posted to social media on Monday, shows the victim lying on the ground surrounded by a pool of his own blood as a third party taping the assault laughs.
The Instagram post of the assault frames the attack in racial terms, seemingly mocking the victim, who is white, and adding the hashtags &#8220;White Lives Do Not Matter&#8221; and &#8220;Blake Lives Matter.&#8221; The assailant appears to be black.
It&#8217;s unclear if the person who posted the disturbing video to Instagram was the one who took the video of the assault.
&#8220;YOUNG MAN YOU GOT KNOCKED [THE F***] OUT,&#8221; the Instagram caption says, with additional cry-laughing emojis. &#8220;B**** YOU BET NOT RUN.&#8221; More cry-laughing emojis were posted, adding, &#8220;Unk tried to kill to yo. &#8230; Pray for unk.&#8221;
&#8220;The man who uploaded this video to Instagram is @ traysavage. He captions it &#8216;white lives don’t matter,'&#8221; The Daily Wire&#8217;s Matt Walsh posted to Twitter, capturing a screenshot of the post before it was removed from the social media site. &#8220;I don’t know if this scumbag is the guy who carried out the attack or if he just found the video. He’s a scumbag either way.&#8221;

<a href="https://foxbaltimore.com/news/local/man-struck-in-the-head-with-a-brick-in-baltimore-neighborhood">According</a> to FOX 45 Baltimore, &#8220;police responded to the scene where a man was reportedly struck in the back of the head by another man, with two bricks in Federal Hill after a reported argument.&#8221;
A &#8220;concerned citizen&#8221; notified authorities at around 1:30 p.m., the report added. &#8220;The police report says a concerned citizen heard two people arguing and then one of the men picked up two bricks and struck the other man in the back of the head.&#8221;
When police arrived, the victim was nowhere to be found; only a pool of blood where the attack was carried out remained at the scene. Apparently, local hospitals were checked, too, but the victim has yet to turn up.
&#8220;The incident is being investigated, unfortunately, the victim left the scene prior to officers arrival and investigators have not been able to locate him,&#8221; said Baltimore City Police spokesperson Nicole Monroe. &#8220;Detectives have canvassed all of our area hospitals as well as, conducting a search history for assault calls in case the victim called police to another location.&#8221;
Baltimore City Councilman Eric Costello posted about the attack Monday to Instagram.
&#8220;The incident in this video occurred on Sunday, August [30], at approximately 6:35pm, at the NW intersection of W Hamburg St and Leadenhall St. The victim is walking on the north side of the 100 block of W Hamburg St, heading westbound (from S Hanover St toward M&amp;T Stadium),&#8221; Costello outlined. &#8220;Baltimore Police Department Detectives are actively investigating this incident and seeking any information, especially camera footage, in between the times of 6:00pm and 7:00pm. The most relevant location is the 100 block of W Hamburg St. If you have information or footage of the victim, suspect, those recording the video, or anything else relevant, please forward to Captain Eric Leitch at: Eric.Leitch@BaltimorePolice.org and feel free to copy me at: eric.costello@baltimorecity.gov.&#8221;
&#8220;It should go without saying that the complete depravity to human life illustrated in this video is absolutely disgusting and should be investigate[d] and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law,&#8221; the city councilman added.

A criminal complaint was filed against a California man earlier this month for sending threatening messages to Elizabeth Nunes, wife of Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA), who is the ranking member on the powerful House Intelligence Committee and one of the driving forces behind exposing the false narrative that President Donald Trump colluded with Russia to steal the 2016 election.
A misdemeanor criminal complaint was filed on August 13, 2020, against William Joseph Burden (also known as William Joseph Terrell) after he allegedly sent threats and harassed Elizabeth, identified only as “E.N.” in the complaint obtained by The Daily Wire, which can exclusively report that E.N. does, in fact, stand for Elizabeth Nunes. Burden is accused of “unlawfully, and with intent to annoy,” calling or electronically contacting Elizabeth with “obscene language,” including a “threat to inflict injury” to her or her property and family.
The man was not arrested, due to coronavirus restrictions, but a complaint was filed against him and he was ordered to appear before a court.
The criminal complaint is short, and merely states what is prohibited by the law without disclosing specific details of what Burden did. Nunes’ office, however, told The Daily Wire that Burden sent a series of threatening and lewd communications to Elizabeth aimed at her and her children. At the same time, similar threats were sent to the school where Elizabeth teaches third grade. Nunes’ office said it hopes the FBI can determine whether Burden was responsible for both sets of messages or if he was working with someone else.
Terri Rufert, Superintendent for the Sundale Union Elementary School District where Elizabeth works, confirmed in an exclusive statement that Nunes’ wife was the target of threats, stalking, and harassment.
“We would like to thank the U.S. Capitol Police, the Tulare County Sheriff&#8217;s Office, and the Tulare County District Attorney for taking action to protect our students and teachers. We take threats aimed at our school and our kids seriously. We will not tolerate any form of harassment or stalking directed at any of our students or teachers,” Rufert said.
The threats against Elizabeth come after a prolonged political campaign against Congressman Devin Nunes. In 2018, Michael Seeley, a member of the left-wing group Southern California Americans for Democratic Action, filed a California Public Records Act request to obtain Elizabeth Nunes’ work emails. Seeley posted Elizabeth’s emails online in multiple batches. Following the release of the emails, Nunes said his wife and the school district received a wave of harassing phone calls and emails.
In a lawsuit, Nunes claimed the harassment led to the doxing of school administrators and teachers and required the school to increase security measures.
“Seeley published Elizabeth Nunes’ emails online and included the names and email addresses of numerous school administrators and teachers, resulting in extensive harassment of these innocent, hard-working citizens of Tulare County, including hateful accusations that they teach bigotry and racism,” the lawsuit said. “In fact, the school was so concerned about security problems resulting from this situation that it adopted enhanced security measures.”
McClatchy looked into the claim after Nunes also <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/devin-nunes-files-massive-lawsuit-against-ashe-schow">filed a lawsuit</a> against the media outlet for allegedly interfering in a congressional probe and claimed no evidence supported Nunes’ suggestion about the school. The Fresno Bee, a staunchly anti-Nunes media outlet owned by McClatchy, <a href="https://www.fresnobee.com/news/local/article235143107.html">reported</a> that Rufert said the school district “does not have any records responsive to these requests,” referring to requests from McClatchy for correspondence from school staff saying they felt harassed or any documents proving enhanced security measures. Rufert did acknowledge that the district spent $17,455 in legal fees as a result of the public records requests.
Nunes maintains that the threats did occur, and the school was forced to adopt enhanced security measures.
Following Seeley’s publishing of Elizabeth’s emails, the Campaign for Accountability, a liberal non-profit, filed <a href="https://campaignforaccountability.org/work/ethics-complaint-against-rep-devin-nunes-for-lying-about-his-investments-in-several-california-companies/">an ethics complaint</a> against Nunes citing one of the emails. The complaint suggested Nunes failed to accurately disclose his investments in Alpha &amp; Omega Winery and Phase 2 Cellars, its sister winery. An email sent to Elizabeth from a law firm working with Alpha &amp; Omega contained documents for her to sign and fill out that related to her and her husband’s investment in the wineries. The ethics complaint alleged that since the documents said a minimum buy-in would cost $200,000, but Nunes only listed his investment as being between $50,000 and $100,000, either he lied on his disclosure form or had some kind of agreement to invest at a lower price.
The Federalist’s Erielle Davidson in 2018 <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2018/09/06/resistance-torches-devin-nunes-family-dared-expose-intel-agencies-collusion-democrats/">asked</a> Campaign for Accountability multiple times whether they collaborated with Seeley but refused to comment. Nunes’ communications director, Jack Langer, told Davidson that there was no ethics violation regarding Nunes’ investment in the winery, as he, Davidson reported, “simply pooled his money with other investors in a holding company to meet the minimum investment.”
Campaign for Accountability also has ties to Fusion GPS, the organization behind the infamous “Steele Dossier” that led to allegations that Trump colluded with Russia to steal the 2016 election from Hillary Clinton. Nunes spent years working to unravel the false narrative that Fusion GPS helped build. Another complaint filed by Campaign for Accountability against Nunes accused the congressman of leaking the name of Fusion GPS’s bank to the press. Nunes had issued a subpoena to the bank demanding Fusion’s financial records. Fusion fought the subpoena in court and lost, resulting in the revelation that Hillary Clinton’s campaign and the Democratic National Committee had ultimately funded the Steele Dossier. The Clinton campaign and DNC hired law firm Perkins Coie to dig up dirt on Trump during the 2016 election. Perkins Coie paid Fusion GPS, which worked with Steele to create the salacious document that included numerous falsehoods and sketchy claims that have not been proven.
Campaign for Accountability also filed a third complaint against Nunes, alleging he leaked text messages between Senate Intelligence committee Vice Chairman Mark Warner (D-VA) and Adam Waldman, a lobbyist for Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska. The text messages revealed that Warner attempted to get Waldman to provide him a back channel to communicate with Steele without the rest of the senate committee finding out.
The Daily Caller <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2019/08/01/liberal-watchdog-fusion-gps-trump/">reported</a> in August 2019 that Campaign for Accountability paid Fusion nearly $140,000 for research, though the organization’s executive director denied hiring Fusion to attack Nunes.
Fusion’s own founders admitted to running a smear campaign against Nunes during his re-election campaign in 2018 in their book, “Crime in Progress.”
“Fusion didn’t ordinarily work on congressional races, but as the election drew closer the firm began to mull a few ways it could have an impact. Later, it would decide to design and launch a more systematic cyber-monitoring campaign, but first it went small, focusing on a single congressional district in California’s heavily agricultural Central Valley. That solidly red seat happened to have been occupied since 2003 by one Devin Nunes,” the authors wrote.
In a statement to The Daily Wire, Nunes thanked “the investigators in the Tulare County Sheriff&#8217;s Office and in the District Attorney&#8217;s office as well as the Capitol Police,” who helped arrest Burden.
“All threats will continue to be turned over to the proper authorities,&#8221; Nunes added.
Correction: An earlier version of this story said the man who threatened Nunes&#8217; wife had been arrested, but he was not, due to coronavirus concerns. The criminal complaint was filed and he was ordered to appear before a judge.

The Chinese government is cracking down on what it claims are crimes linked to the coronavirus, which originated in the country late last year.
The Agence France-Presse <a href="https://www.france24.com/en/20200828-thousands-arrested-for-virus-related-crimes-in-china">reported</a> that nearly 5,800 people have been arrested in the country for “epidemic-related crimes since January.”
“One case involved a shopper who beat another customer to death for not wearing a mask in a supermarket,” the outlet reported. “Other cases included a person who deliberately mowed down medical workers with a car, and another was arrested for stabbing a health inspector with a dagger when monitoring temperatures. Some have also been accused of embezzling money collected from fundraisers to help coronavirus patients, selling defective medical equipment and lying about their travel history or health condition.”
The Supreme People’s Procuratorate released a statement Friday announcing that from “January to July, 5,797 people were arrested and 6,755 were prosecuted,” the AFP reported, noting that the statement did not say how many people were still detained or how many had been sentenced.
The AFP then praised China’s efforts to control the coronavirus:
<blockquote>China has largely brought the spread of the novel coronavirus under control &#8212; since it first emerged in the central city of Wuhan in December 2019 &#8212; with strict lockdowns, aggressive contact tracing and close monitoring of neighbourhoods.
The country has also deployed a range of smartphone apps to track the whereabouts of people to quickly identify possible cases.
Wearing a mask is mandatory in supermarkets, cinemas or on public transport, and many choose to wear one while outdoors as well, as a safeguard against the virus.
China has not reported any locally transmitted infections in recent days.</blockquote>
What the AFP leaves out, however, is exactly how China went about containing the virus and the fact that the numbers from the communist country can’t be trusted. China <a href="https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2020/08/26/906206090/china-calls-it-a-wartime-mode-covid-19-lockdown-and-residents-are-protesting">sealed the doors</a> of residents suspected of having the coronavirus to prevent them from leaving. The communist regime also <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/15/business/china-coronavirus-lockdown.html">used tracking software</a> to spy on citizens.
The country boasted that it had contained the virus until new cases cropped up in June. The Daily Wire’s Ryan Saavedra previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/extremely-severe-china-starts-locking-down-parts-of-beijing-over-new-coronavirus-outbreak-after-failing-to-contain-pandemic">reported</a>:
<blockquote>The New York Times <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/13/world/asia/beijing-market-coronavirus.html">reported</a> on Saturday that 53 people had tested positive for the coronavirus, which originated in China late last year, and that nearly everyone who tested positive for the disease had “worked or shopped at the Xinfadi market, a wholesale market on the city’s south side that sells seafood, fruit and vegetables.”
By Tuesday morning, China said that it had detected a total of at least 106 people who had been infected from the new outbreak in Beijing. Leading <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/british-scientific-advisers-claim-chinas-outbreak-could-be-15-to-40-times-worse-than-reported-report-says">intelligence</a> agencies from around the world have largely viewed the statistics provided by the Chinese Communist Party throughout the pandemic to be <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-u-s-intelligence-tells-trump-that-china-intentionally-lied-about-coronavirus-outbreak-report-says">intentionally</a> downplayed.
“The authorities in Beijing placed a swath of the city under lockdown on Monday and tested tens of thousands of people as they rushed to contain a new coronavirus outbreak that marked an unnerving breach in China’s capital,” the Times <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/15/world/asia/beijing-coronavirus-outbreak.html">reported</a> late on Monday. “The authorities shut down and sealed the market over the weekend.”</blockquote>
