Anchorage Police Officer … Mexican Illegal Alien Rafael Mora-Lopez (Rafael Espinoza) Charged with Passport Fraud

So those pesky illegal aliens are only doing the jobs that Americans don’t want to do, eh?

Mexican national Rafael Mora-Lopez has been charged with passport fraud as he took on a false identity and committed identity theft in order to become an Alaskan police officer. Lopez went by the name of patrolman Rafael Espinoza. Rafael Mora-Lopez’ identify was discovered when he went to apply for a US passport when the State Department found that the Rafael Espinoza identity he was using was actually another person, a U.S. citizen. Looks like this illegal immigrant just committed a federal crime. Obviously he was using anothers social security number as well. Does it really matter whether he was a good employee?

An Anchorage police officer who took on a false identity that masked his Mexican citizenship has been arrested and charged with passport fraud, federal officials said Friday.

At a news conference Friday, U.S. Attorney Karen Loeffler said that patrolman Rafael Espinoza, on the Anchorage police force for about six years, was really Rafael Mora-Lopez, a Mexican national working in the United States illegally.

Female Victims Suffers Seizure after Merciless Beating by Woman in McDonald’s (VIDEO) … (Update: Victim, Transgender Woman … Hate Crime!)

YES, THIS IS A HATE CRIME …  MC BEATING!

A woman was beaten senseless by multiple other woman in a McDonald’s. Use caution in viewing the below VIDEO as the images are alarming. As the female victim is repeatedly beaten, others just looked idly on and even joked. At the end of the video, the victim actually goes into a seizure. This is absolutely sick.  McDonald’s acknowledged that the attack had occurred in a Baltimore area restaurant and said it was working with local police.

VIDEO: Warning, violence

A video of a vicious beating at a Baltimore County McDonald’s restaurant went viral Friday, garnering hundreds of thousands of views on websites and prompting the fast-food giant to issue a statement condemning the incident.

The video shows two women — one of them a 14-year-old girl — repeatedly kicking and punching the 22-year-old victim in the head, as an employee of the Rosedale restaurant and a patron try to intervene. Others can be heard laughing, and men are seen standing idly by.

Toward the end of the video, one of the suspects lands a punishing blow to the victim’s head, and she appears to have a seizure. A man’s voice tells the women to run because police are coming.

UPDATE I: McDonald’s releases a statement regarding the assault.

McDonald’s is concerned about the safety of their customers, REALLY? Maybe they would like to explain why it took an elderly woman to step in and help the victim as McDonald employees just sat back, did nothing and watched.

We are shocked by the video from a Baltimore franchised restaurant showing an assault. This incident is unacceptable, disturbing and troubling. McDonald’s strives to be a safe, welcoming environment for everyone who visits. Nothing is more important to us than the safety of customers and employees in our restaurants. We are working with the franchisee and the local authorities to investigate this matter. We are doing everything possible to make sure the right thing is done.

A McDonald’s employee has taken credit for taking the video of the attack. It turns out that the individual taking the video states that the individual being attacked is not a woman, but a man. It turns out that the victim was a transgender woman. I smell “hate crime’.

UPDATE II: Suspects have been identified in the MC ATTACK:

At one point the suspects, identified as a 14-year-old girl and an 18-year-old girl, pull the victim to the floor by her hair, even ripping off a wig. They drag her into the main dining room. Then after a powerful blow to the head, the victim appears to have a violent seizure, and as she bleeds from the mouth, spectators warn the attackers to flee before cops arrive.

KUDOS to The Other McCain for their blunt and direct account of the beating that took place and their stating the truth that had this been a couple of white tea Party Conservatives who attacked this transgender woman, it would have been head line news in every newspaper and leading the national news.

Can you imagine the political uproar if the attackers had been right-wing Tea Party types? Perhaps we can ask Paul Krugman to favor us with another one of his “climate of hate” sermons.

TSA Screener Thomas Gordon Jr. Charged with Distributing Child Pornography

EVER WONDER WHO IS PATTING DOWN YOUR CHILDREN … TSA Screener charged with Child porn .

How many times have we questioned that the TSA airport pat downs of children bordered on child assault and if it were not the TSA doing it, a crime would be charged. The groping and inappropriate touching of children, all in the name of anti-terrorism. Sure it is. It is all supposed to be for our protection. But what about the screeners, who screens the screeners? Looks like no one … Doesn’t this just instill the utmost confidence in the TSA? Just how many children did this man pat down and isn’t it special that because of privacy laws the TSA withheld this info from the public?

How do you now feel about the TSA groping your children?

Enter Thomas Gorden, Jr, a Philadelphia International Airport passenger screener arrested and charged with the distribution of child pornography. ISN’T THIS SPECIAL! Gorden has been charged with distributed more than 100 images of child pornography via Facebook.

Federal agents also allege that Transportation Safety Administration Officer Thomas Gordon Jr. of Philadelphia, who routinely searched airline passengers, uploaded explicit pictures of young girls to an Internet site on which he also posted a photograph of himself in his TSA uniform.

Homeland Security agents arrested the TSA officer March 24, and he is being held without bail.

According to accounts, Gordon began working as a TSA screener at the Philadelphia airport in December 2005. If Gordon is convicted of the child pornography charges, he faces a faces a minimum mandatory sentence of five years and maximum prison term is 250 years and the top fine is $3.2 million.

Of course its not just  little girls we need be concerned about, its all children. Yet more VIDEO below.

Initially a tip came the authorities that  included evidence that Gordon had uploaded five explicit photographs of young girls onto the web site Photobucket. His Photobucket account also included Gordon of pics of himself in his blue TSA uniform. Thankfully this child predator is also a stupid person. Sorry, alleged stupid person. The indictment against the TSA screeneer also alleges that Gordon used at least six Facebook accounts and employed multiple names “to upload and store images of sexual exploitation of minor children,” that included 104 illicit photos.

The charges detail 104 illicit photographs allegedly uploaded over four weeks in February.

Authorities also seized from Gordon an HP laptop and a four-gigabyte flash drive that they say contained more than 600 images or movies containing child pornography, according to court filings.
