Pope Francis Stops Fiat to Kiss the Forehead of a Boy (Michael Keating) with Cerebral Palsy after Landing in Philadelphia, PA (VIDEO)

THIS IS WHAT THE POPE SHOULD ALWAYS BE DOING … PROVIDING HOPE, FAITH AND A BLESSING FOR THOSE LESS FORTUNATE …

I have been some what critical of Pope Fancis’ political statements that he has made while visiting the United States, only because the following is what he should always be doing and be remembered for. On Saturday morning after the Pope landed in Philadelphia and en route to his next speaking engagement, Pope Francis ordered the car he was traveling in be stopped immediately. Pope Francis got out of the fiat, walked over to a boy in a wheel chair in the crowd and kissed the boy on his forehead. The boy was 10 year old Michael Keating, who has cerebral palsy and cannot communicate. But the Lord works in mysterious ways! KUDOS to Pope Francis. Sir, this is what you need to be doing everywhere and stay away from the liberal BS on climate change and the political fray. You are a religious inspiration and need to bring people back to the faith and provide others with it. Stay Holy and away from politics, please.

Pope Francis kissed the forehead of a boy with cerebral palsy after landing in Philadelphia on Saturday morning, coaxing a small smile from the severely disabled 10-year-old.

Francis apparently spied Michael Keating as he was being driven away from the plane. Ordering the Fiat to stop, Francis got out and walked over to the boy, put his hand on his head and kissed him as his sobbing mother looked on.

Kristin Keating thanked the pope, who grasped her hand. Francis also shook the hand of Keating’s husband, Chuck Keating, the band director at Bishop Shanahan High School in Downingtown. The band serenaded Francis as he arrived in Philadelphia for the last leg of his six-day visit to the United States.

“It was an unbelievable feeling,” Kristin Keating said of the papal encounter, adding she felt “totally blessed and loved” by the pope.

Convicted Felon Donald Anthony Watson Shoots Self in Penis, Lied to Police, Blamed in on the Black Guy

CONVICTED FELON BLAMES SELF INFLICTED WOUND TO HIS JOHNSON ON THE BLACK MAN …

It wasn’t quite an episode of ‘Sex Sent Me to the ER,’ but it might be the beginning of a new reality TV show …   43 year old Donald Anthony Watson, a convicted felon, was taken to the emergency room on September 6, at about 1:30 AM after he had been shot in the penis. Watson had initially told police that he was shot by “a black guy (who) tried to rob” him while he was taking out the trash at his apartment. As it turns out, the convicted felon appears to have shot himself in his own penis.  After his surgery, Watson told officers he was examining the gun, placed it in his pocket and the gun discharged, striking him in the penis. The police charged Watson with providing a  false report of a crime to law enforcement, false reporting of information to law enforcement, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and possession of a firearm by a drug offender.

Look for Democrats to jump on this story and call for more gun control and tie it to safety. But what else would one expect from a convicted felon, drug offender, bit be a liar. Hmm, isn’t it the Democrats who want to let drug offenders out of prison? I guess the emergency rooms better get ready for more visits.

WTF

A convicted felon who accidentally shot himself in the penis was arrested after police say he lied about how the shooting happened.

Donald Anthony Watson was admitted to the Avera McKennan emergency room about 1:30 a.m. Sept. 6 for a gunshot wound to his penis, according to an arrest affidavit.

When questioned by police, the 43-year-old said he was shot by “a black guy (who) tried to rob” him while he was taking out the trash at his apartment.

Officers went to Watson’s apartment in the 1500 block of East Nye Street to look for evidence and witnesses to corroborate Watson’s story. No evidence of a shooting was found near the dumpster. A witness told officers he heard screams of pain coming from Watson’s apartment about 1 a.m. that morning.

Missing: Alex-Zander DeVore

On Saturday FOX 4 spoke to Trina Merriott, the mother of Alex-Zander DeVore, who said her son has been missing since 10 a.m.  She said he was last seen by family in his father’s backyard doing chores.

Police say around 12:30 p.m. Alex-Zander was spotted at a McDonald’s located near 87th and Blue Ridge Blvd., where a man reportedly bought the boy a sandwich, but police said there was no indication the man did anything other than that.

“A man in a Kansas City hat and a red shirt bought him food and nobody can confirm if they left together or if he left by himself,” said Merriott.

Police are describing Alex-Zander as five feet tall, weighing around 100 pounds, with blond hair and blue eyes. His mother said he has recently had his hair cut and did not have a shirt on when he left his home. She said he was wearing black basketball shorts and white, blue and red Nike tennis shoes.

UPDATE I: Surveillance video Shows Missing Boy Last Seen at local McDonald’s where a man bought him a meal.

Police reviewed surveillance video that shows the child inside the McDonald’s and a man in a ball cap paying for both their lunches, Police then say the man and Zander left at similar times.

However, police says right now it does not appear to be a kidnapping, so no Amber Alert has been issued.

Detectives say after having a conversation with a clerk who saw both the boy and the man, it did not make it sound like Zander was forced to do anything he was uncomfortable with and told officers the boy just seemed hungry.

If you see Zander or know any information about the man seen with him at McDonald’s, call 911 or the TIPS Hotline at 816-474-8477.

21 Year Old Leslie Allen Merritt Jr. Indicted on 15 Felony Counts, Including Aggravated Assault, Unlawful Discharge of a Firearm and Others

21 year old Leslie Allen Merritt Jr. was indicted Friday by a grand jury on 15 felony counts, including aggravated assault, unlawful discharge of a firearm, disorderly conduct, endangerment and carrying out a drive-by shooting. However, prosecutors did not file terrorism charges against Merritt in the highway shootings. Authorities had called these shootings an act of domestic terrorism. Mettitt was arrested on September 18 at a Wal-Mart. Merritt remains in jail on a $1 million bond.

Leslie Allen Merritt Jr

A grand jury on Friday indicted a man suspected in four of the freeway shootings that have rattled the Phoenix area since late last month.

The indictment of 21-year-old Leslie Allen Merritt Jr. replaces a 16-count criminal complaint announced earlier in the week.

Merritt, of suburban Glendale, was indicted on 15 felony counts, including aggravated assault, unlawful discharge of a firearm, disorderly conduct, endangerment and carrying out a drive-by shooting.

Prosecutors did not file terrorism charges that authorities originally sought against the landscaper and father of two who was arrested Sept. 18 at a Wal-Mart. Maricopa County Attorney Bill Montgomery previously said Arizona’s terrorism laws enacted after 9/11 focus mostly on protecting public utilities from attack and would not apply to the freeway shootings.

Using ballistics tests, Arizona Department of Public Safety detectives tied Merritt to four of the 11 shootings that occurred on Phoenix-area freeways between Aug. 27 and Sept. 10.
