It was all over cable news a couple of days ago when someone opened fire on a massive house party in a pretty classy neighborhood in South Jersey. I grew up in a peaceful South Jersey so the story got my attention.
I wasn’t planning to write about it though until I saw that most media was not posting a picture of the first arrest in the case.
Kevin Dawkins
I’m seeing very few reports on the man charged with gun violations (so far) that resulted in the deaths of two and the wounding of scores of others.
Most reports are showing photos of the house and grounds with few using a jailhouse picture of Kevin Dawkins.
However, the UK Daily Maildoes not disappoint as it published a big spread on the shooting with lots of pictures, including photos of the victims.
In the US, NJ.com does publish a picture of Dawkins as NJ Democrat Governor Phil Murphy does a little politically correct speech about gun violence in a state with STRICT gun control laws already in place.
By the way, stories abound about gun violence across the country this past week. Someone should take a look behind the headlines to see who the perps were in those cases.
How many had already done time in the slammer? How many were in states with strict gun laws? How many were gang-related as this one may be? How many perps were African American and how many of their victims were African American?
Update! Reader Robin sent this useful but sad site with info. on those who died daily from gun violence. I think you will see a pattern and as you all know, it is not the gun.
Arrest made, more expected in mass shooting at N.J. house party that killed 2, officials say
One man has been charged with firearms violations in the shooting that killed two people and wounded 12 at a house party Saturday night in Fairfield Township, authorities announced Monday morning.
More arrests and charges in the case are expected, local and state authorities said at a Monday morning press event led by Gov. Phil Murphy.
Kevin K. Dawkins, 36, who lives on Commerce Street, the same street where the party took place, is charged with four gun crimes, one that accuses him of possessing a firearm as a convicted felon, Cumberland County Prosecutor Jennifer Webb-McRae said.
“What we saw here in Fairfield is a microcosm of the scale of gun violence we see elsewhere, in other communities in our state and across our country,” Murphy said, leading off the press event. “We are at the point where this kind of horrific scene is almost part of our daily lives. It has become commonplace.”
“If there is one thing we can never normalize, it is senseless gun violence,” the governor said.
While his administration has enacted more and strong gun safety laws, and said New Jersey is a leader in the effort, Murphy said “but, and it’s a big but, this is a nation awash in guns, and we are not on an island. We are not immune as was proved two nights ago.”
Yup, too many guns says the Progressive governor.
“There are still too many people with easy access to guns who should never even have access to a gun,” Murphy said.
Do Black Lives Matter when the killers and their victims are black as they were in this case, just asking?
Have you noticed that for the Dems, when the PC racism narrative doesn’t fit, it becomes all about the guns.
My previous posts on the creep, Sullivan, are here.
From the Epoch Timeswhich I highly recommend. I’m getting their paper edition and loving having a serious newspaper to hold in my hands about once a week!
DOJ Seizes $90,000, Charges Black Lives Matter Supporter Allegedly ‘Stormed Capitol,’ Sold Footage to News Outlets
The Department of Justice (DOJ) seized $90,000 from a Utah man who sold footage of Ashli Babbitt being shot during the Jan. 6 Capitol breach, according to court filings filed by federal prosecutors.
John Earle Sullivan, a political activist who reportedly attended Black Lives Matter protests last year and who allegedly agitated rioters inside the Capitol, was also charged with new weapons charges,according to the documents unsealed last week.
So far, more than 400 people have been charged in connection to the breach, which occurred as members of Congress were voting to certify the 2020 presidential election.
According to the court documents, Sullivan portrayed himself as an independent journalist who was reporting on the chaos, but he actually encouraged other participants to “burn” the building and engage in violence.
Sullivan is accused of having a conversation with others who breached the building and allegedly told them: “We gotta get this [expletive] burned,”according to court documents in his case.
“There are so many people. Let’s go. This [expletive] is ours! [Expletive] yeah,” he allegedly cheered after he and protesters entered the Capitol, the DOJ documents said. “We accomplished this [expletive]. We did this together. [Expletive] yeah! We are all a part of this history,” and “let’s burn this [expletive] down.” The documents accused him of calling on others to burn the Capitol down multiple times.
At one point, he’s also heard saying, “I am ready bro. I’ve been to too many riots. I’ve been in so many riots,” the documents said. “It would be fire if someone had revolutionary music and [expletive],” prosecutors said Sullivan told others on Jan. 6.
[….]
Sullivan sold that footage to several news outlets for a total of $90,000, according to a seizure warrant. The news outlets were redacted from the warrant.
After the breach in January, Sullivan appeared on several corporate media outlets including CNN and MSNBC.
And then get this—something you won’t be seeing in the corporate media because it doesn’t fit the Left’s narrative:
Using the nickname “Jayden X” online, Sullivan tweeted just days before the Capitol breach that the system should be burned to the ground while adding Antifa, anti-capitalist, anti-Trump, and Black Lives Matter hashtags.
And on Jan. 2, just days before the breach, Sullivan’s account wrote: “[Expletive] The System – Time To Burn It All Down. #blm #antifa #burn #[expletive]thesystem #abolishcapitalism #abolishthepolice #acab #[expletive]trump.”
Teen busted for allegedly kidnapping sleeping boy later found dead on Texas street
A teen suspect has been arrested for allegedly breaking into a Dallas home and kidnapping a sleeping 4- year-old boy who was later found dead on a street, authorities said Monday.
The child, who suffered multiple fatal wounds from what police say was an “edged weapon,” was identified Sunday by his grieving guardian as Cash Gernon, WFAA reported.
The “happy-go-lucky” boy was sleeping when a suspect, identified by cops as 18-year-old Darriynn Brown, barged into his home through a back door and kidnapped him on Saturday, his guardian said.
A home security camera shows the minute 4-year-old Cash was taken from his room. Darrilynn Brown has been charged with kidnapping (so far).
Brown is now charged with kidnapping and theft in connection to Cash’s death. He is being held on $750,000 bail, according to the Dallas Morning News.
Brown was busted for evading arrest in late April and the case is still pending, the newspaper reported. Court documents show he lived with his parents just a half-mile from where the boy’s body was found.
An initial WFAA report the accused kidnapper was wearing an ankle monitor at the time of the abduction is inaccurate, according to the Dallas County Sheriff’s Office.
The boy’s grieving mom said she had no idea what allegedly led Brown to target her son, whose body was later discovered in the street by a jogger early Saturday. The teen suspect did not know Cash, his guardian told the station off-camera.
Surveillance video also captured the kidnapping, the guardian added. Investigators asked neighbors Sunday for any additional footage to help them piece together what happened, WFAA reported. Some nearby residents told the station Brown was regularly seen in the city’s Mountain Creek section.
I have a lot of questions, and I guess you do too. How is that no adults in the house heard anything? Was the house unlocked? They seemed to have enough sense to have a home security system of some sort, so again how does someone walk out of a home carrying a small child and no one notices.
Could this killing be some sort of gang initiation?
Whether you have young children in the home or not—be sure you lock your doors and have a home security system, a dog maybe and a firearm. Life is not going back to the ’50s and ’60s—a time some of us can remember with some longing for that simpler time.
Spread this story far and wide (the corporate media won’t likely do that), if for no other reason than to make people more aware of the dangers facing us in the age of BLM supremacists.
I had planned to write about the political rats led by Miles Taylor today, but will wait until the 100 supposedly prominent Republicans put out their letter announcing their threat to split from the Republican Party which is supposed to happen today.
Instead….
In an on-going effort to catalog dreadful cases of abuse of our seniors/disabled and mentally disabled by immigrant workers in healthcare facilities, here is a new story from Florida.
By the way, the Open Borders propagandists continually tell us that the immigrants seeking a better life are doing the work of angels by taking care of our vulnerable citizens. Every time I see that message I think of the cases I’ve posted here in my elder abuse tag.
Employee at Hialeah psychiatric hospital accused of raping female patient
HIALEAH, Fla. – A South Florida hospital employee has been arrested on accusations that he raped a patient.
Delgado had worked at the hospital for only about 6 weeks and is being investigated for a second incident with another patient.
The crime was reported around 10:30 a.m. Monday at Southern Winds Hospital, a psychiatric care facility located at 4225 W. 20th Ave.
According to Hialeah police, Yadiel Perez Delgado, 34, entered a female patient’s room earlier in the morning and began making verbal sexual advances toward her.
The victim told officers that Perez Delgado partially closed the door and she ignored him and went into the bathroom.
She said he followed her into the bathroom and raped her.
According to the suspect’s arrest report, another patient staying in the same hospital room walked in during the incident and Perez Delgado left the room.
The victim then reported that she had been raped to a female mental health technician.
According to his arrest report, Perez Delgado denied raping the woman. Police said he admitted to digitally penetrating her but claimed that the incident was consensual.
Surveillance video from the hospital room corroborated the victim’s statements, authorities said.
One hundred and eight people have been murdered in Baltimore so far this year.
Israeli Efraim Gordon in town for a cousin’s wedding murdered in Baltimore.
They say they have video of the thugs wandering the neighborhood and one of them approaching Efraim Gordon before he was killed, and a reward has been posted for information, but no arrest yet in the young Jewish man’s murder.
I didn’t post this last week because I wanted to report the arrest or arrests and assumed that within a day or so arrests would have been made in a case that Gordon’s family in Israel and the Israeli press are watching closely.
As of this morning no news of an arrest, so I will update this post if and when the killer or killers are found.
Here is the latest from three days ago fromCBS Baltimore:
Community Devastated After Efraim Gordon Murdered While Visiting Baltimore, Volunteers Hand Out Flyers
BALTIMORE (WJZ) — Community members are both angry and concerned after an Israeli man was murdered in Baltimore.
Members of community walked several blocks to hand out flyers informing neighbors of a $30,000 reward in hopes that someone will come forward with information regarding Efraim Gordon’s murder.
[….]
Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott, left, and MD Governor Larry Hogan plan to have a chit chat this week about crime in Baltimore. Yeh, that should solve the problem.
Gordon, 31, was murdered Monday near aunt and uncle’s home on Fords Lane and residents continue to express their frustrations with the city’s high crime rate.
“It’s not just about one man, it’s like this is a pattern,” said a man, who also brought his children along to help hand out the flyers.
“This has just devastated the entire community,” said Councilman Yitzy Schleifer, ”and you have a lot of people taking off of work to go door-to-door hanging up signs to make sure those responsible for this murder are brought to justice.”
Gordon was from Israel and was visiting Baltimore for the first time for his cousin’s wedding. His sister spoke with Israel National News.
“Nothing was stolen. He had his watch, his passport, his ID, his bag of money,” said the victim’s sister, Ella Gordon. Detectives say they will review camera footage in the area for possible leads.
[….]
Baltimore’s crime problem has been a big talking point for politicians this week. Ninety nine people were killed at this time in 2020 compared to 108 so far in 2021.
Governor Larry Hogan and Mayor Brandon Scott exchanged words on Twitter addressing the issue of crime in the city.
And, here is a brilliant idea from three days ago….
Defund Baltimore’s police department! That should solve the crime problem!
