White People - Sheesh!
What the hell is up with white folks and explosives? Being armed with an AK just isn't enough, I guess.
Hold It Together, Robert
I know this kid and I like this kid. He was well liked in high school and I hope he holds things together and has a successful NFL career. Good Luck, Robert.

Officer Down
Cop shot in Columbia, SC. Fortunately, he was wearing his ballistic vest. The officer was shot in the chest, but survived. Reports are the suspect was shot dead a few blocks away. Woohoo!! More details as they become available.
The long form birth certificate was dropped first thing this morning. Anyone else suspicious of this? I haven't trusted Democrap inclined Trump from the start and believe he may have been in cahoots with the administration. Not to mention the fact that Corsi's book is also about to drop. I guess we will see what the Photoshop experts have to say about this one. Either way it proves he is not 'natural born' since Daddy is listed as an African.
Oh.....the parents were lying about three year old Andre got shot in Colleton County. An article last night indicated he may have been hit twice, but we will see.

Finally - Some White Drug Dealers
We all know they are out there. The ages and location of these suspects surprises me a bit, but hey, I guess those Charleston County property taxes can be a bitch for someone on a fixed income.
And yet another black on black shooting in downtown Charleston. As usual, the P&C provides NO description of the victim or suspects. Wanna guess why? They sure didn't waste any time putting up the mugshots of those two white folks in the story above. Mugshots of black suspects usually take two days or more to hit the paper or website. Nothing unusual here folks, move along.
In typical fashion, the P&C chooses not to do even the most basic investigation to gather information for the story. I spent three minutes finding this at the Charleston County website:
Goodwin plead guilty to possession of less than a gram of meth/cocaine base on 10.27.2011 and appears to have been sentenced to 60 days by Judge Roger Young. Hey P&C - here's a hint - maybe this conviction has something to do with why he was shot. Consider it and let me know what you think.
Here is a shot from Goodwin's FB page. He attended Burke High School. Now there's a reference. In this pic he is throwing up the typical ghetto gang sign that makes these idiots look like arthritic, gay, ghetto boys.

Exports and Imports
I guess it would be unfair to say we exported our black violence to North Carolina since that whole mess seems to be a world-wide problem. We did import some Hispanic violence, though. No matter, two illegals going down for killing another. Let 'em whack each other and solve the problem.
The wonderful editors at the Post and Courier decided to stick with the term 'teen' when describing the perpetrator of yet another senseless orgy of violence. The victim, a highly educated 'white' man, a contributing member of society was probably selected as a victim because he was 64 years of age, white, well dressed and probably seemed like an easy target.
The typical stuff is being said about the suspect - Chauncey Sterling. Here is a link to the ever present Facebook page. Much of it has been cleaned up, but I suppose the family cleaning the page thought this status update might help his case, seeing as how he's been distant lately.
And three people like it. Let's review some photos of good ol' Chauncy, shall we?
Then there was the typical bullshit from friends of the 18 year old contributor of ghetto semen for at least two children. Much like that documented by the Fox News story:
One of Sterling's friends says "He was a good person and he had a gud heart and he loved his kids alot and he took care of them yes he messed up bt that's life he is jus goin have to learn tod deal with his mistakes bt he is a wonderful person."
Well shit, since you say so I guess we should just let him out to run about his bidness, huh? He 'messed up?' No you stupid shit, he MURDERED someone. I gotta say, I'm not too impressed with black ghetto reasoning. And it's not like this is the first case in which we've heard that sentiment expressed.

Long Odds
What are the odds this family would find THIS guy, on THIS day in THIS situation? The hand of God, the hand of fate, whatever you believe, this worked out well.
Law Enforcement Targeted
Isn't it great having that government car parked in the driveway to keep the hoodlums away. Unfortunately, it tends to be a magnet for crime, as this story explains.
A few years ago Ford provided a three position switch on the dashboard for the automatic trunk latch. You could set it to not activate at all, activate only with the ignition turned on, or activate the latch at any time. The newer models haven't provided this feature and all of the Impalas I have driven open up no matter what. Not smart when you have officers carrying high dollar equipment and lethal weapons. Cruisers have been targeted in the Charleston area before and will be again. Agencies might find it cheaper to invest in alarm systems for their vehicles.

Another Round
Tiny little Andre got his first battle scar early in life. Welcome to Colleton County - now get out.
4450 Rivers Avenue - I'll take bets this isn't a white club. In fact, I know it's not. Been there.

Only One Thing Wrong Here
The only thing wrong with this story is that the father didn't choke the life out of this repeat offending perverted piece of shit.
TSA Still At It
If this was a Muslim child, born of Muslim zealots, full of 'Cartoon Rage' I could understand groping the kid. When will this bullshit end?

Suspicious?
The Post & Courier must be reading this blog, as evidenced by the fact they finally discovered the arrest and conviction history of Ishmel Lemon. My readers already knew this because I reported those facts yesterday.

More Lowcountry Violence
Another shooting in the city of North Charleston. D-Rock does it again. How many times has that clown been arrested and not sent to prison?
Here is my problem with the victim's story: He is riding in a car, D-Rock is in a car. I assume both are seated. The victim is shot in the stomach and the leg. Hmm. Most hood-rat rounds won't penetrate the body of a vehicle, which implies this fellow was probably out of his car, hitting D-Rock up for some rock cocaine when he got his ass popped.
We will see how this one shakes out.

Oh, Goody!
An NAACP 'teach-in' about the War of Northern Aggression? Awesome! The only lingering effects of that war are:
a) Blacks are still here and have grown more violent
b) 'States rights' is now an oxymoron
c) The NAACP just won't give up the ghost

What Is The Face of Violent Crime in the Lowcountry?
You can find the face of violent Lowcountry crime at this link. Or you can just look below.
These two gangstas are charged with this incident where they shot up half the town. Open season on Domoneik as he isn't in custody yet. I know the SO is already checking all of his baby mama's welfare cribs in their search for him.
Maybe we should examine some criminal history here:
Washington
Charged with resisting arrest and assaulting a police officer in 2005. The assault charge was dismissed because Washington plead guilty to the resisting charge. He served 54 days in jail.
Charged with Assault & Battery With Intent to Kill in 2006. The solicitor dropped the charges.
Charged with Possession of Marijuana 2nd Offense in 2006. The case was sent from GSC to a magistrate. Disposition unknown.
In August of 2009 he was charged with Driving Under Suspension 1st, Trafficking Cocaine and Transporting Contraband into a Detention Facility. Found guilty of the DUS. The other two charges were dropped by the solicitor.
Charged with Simple Assault and found guilty in 2010.
Also in 2010 he was charged with several offenses from one incident - Criminal Domestic Violence, Malicious Damage to Personal Property, Malicious Injury to Animals, and threats. Case still pending.
Lemon
2004 - Charged with Armed Robbery, but plead down to Strong Armed Robbery. Sentenced under the Youthful Offender Act, not to exceed 1-6 years and court ordered shock incarceration.
2007 - Possession of Crack Cocaine. Dropped by solicitor.
2009 - 2 counts of Trafficking Cocaine. Dropped by solicitor.
2009 - Driving Under Suspension 1st. He didn't show up for court and was found guilty.
Now he faces four new charges of Obstruction of Justice, Accessory After the Fact of Murder, and Accessory after the Fact of Murder x2.
The dead man, Antwan Wilson, also has quite the criminal history when it comes to drugs and violence. I wonder if anyone in Scarlett Wilson's office gets an attack of conscience after refusing to prosecute these repeat offenders. I doubt it.

Are Traffic Tickets a Revenue or a Safety Issue?
The Post & Courier reports that a decline in State Troopers has resulted in a decline in revenues from traffic citations. Does anyone else find it odd that law enforcement repeatedly informs us the purpose of traffic enforcement is safety and not revenue? Yet the P & C, the county magistrates and the state are lamenting the loss of fines resulting from Troopers leaving the agency prior to court dates.
We all know that the real goal of traffic enforcement is generating revenue. Some of us, who have served as police officers, know this better than others. Any department that maintains a full-time, fully staffed traffic unit also knows. These agencies will also tell the public they don't ticket quotas, but rest assured an officer that writes too many warnings vs. citations will have hell to pay and will end up transferred from the traffic unit. If the reader is interested in doing a little research, he/she might want to investigate just how much money is provided to their local police departments by insurance companies via grants and equipment purchases.
The Highway Patrol knows it because ALL they do is traffic enforcement. I can't count the number of times a trooper has rolled up on a domestic and called another agency to handle it because he had no clue. I remember one incident involving a chase in excess of 100 mph on the interstate and surface streets. Once the SCHP found illegal firearms in the vehicle they called the relevant municipal agency to handle that part of the incident for them. To his credit, the municipal Lieutenant on duty told the troopers they were responsible for the entire incident and all charges.
Don't get me wrong. I know a lot of troopers and in general they are a good group. Unfortunately, they seem to be indoctrinated during their basic training in much the same manner as the USMC. Troopers do not train with police officers, sheriff's deputies or public safety officers at the South Carolina Criminal Justice Academy. The SCHP training academy is basically a separate entity. This would be fine if the organization was of the same caliber as, say, the Ohio State Patrol, or the New Jersey State Police.
But they aren't. SCHP is nothing but a bunch of traffic cops. They believe they are the be-all, end-all of law enforcement until shit goes sideways on them. I even had one call for help to investigate a hit and run vehicle parked at the suspect's home. His exact words when I showed up were, "We are Highway Patrol, we don't knock on doors."
Why not? I guess there isn't any revenue in that.
