UPDATE I: University of Chicago Would-Be-Shooter Wanted To ‘Rid The World of White Devils’.

According to the police report, the man who threatened to attack the University of Chicago Monday morning planned to target white males and wanted to do his part to “rid the world of white devils.”

The threat apparently came in the form of a comment on the website WorldStarHipHop. In the comment, the commentator threatened to avenge the death of Laquon McDonald, the black man who was shot and killed by a Chicago police officer, sparking protests across the greater Chicago area.

UPDATE II: “I will then die killing any number of white policeman in the process.”

“This is my only warning. At 10 AM Monday morning, I’m going to the campus quad of the University of Chicago. I will be armed with an M-4 carbine and two desert eagles, all fully loaded. I will execute approximately 16 white male students and or staff, which is the same number of time McDonald was killed,” he wrote.

“I will then die killing any number of white policeman in the process. This is not a joke. I am [sic] to do my part and rid the world of white devils. I expect you do the same,” he continued.

UPDATE III: Jabari R. Dean, of Chicago, was arrested Monday and charged with transmitting a threat in interstate commerce.

A 21-year-old college student has been arrested for threatening to “execute aproximately (sic) 16 white male students and or staff” at the University of Chicago, and then “any number of white policemen,” to avenge the fatal shooting of Laquan McDonald, according to a criminal complaint and affidavit filed in U.S. District Court in Chicago.

Jabari R. Dean, of Chicago, was arrested Monday and charged with transmitting a threat in interstate commerce, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Illinois announced. According to the affidavit, Dean wrote in an online post that he planned to show up at the University of Chicago’s campus quad Monday morning armed with an assault rifle and two semi-automatic pistols and would “do my part to rid the world of the white devils.”

White House Fence Jumper Taken into Custody and to Undergo Psychiatric Exam

JUST CURIOUS, ISN’T THIS GUY JUST AN UNDOCUMENTED WHITE HOUSE RESIDENT?

Meet the man who dared interrupted Barack Obama and the First families Thanksgiving Day dinner as he jumped the White House fence. 23 year old Joseph Anthony Caputo scaled the White House fence last week draped in an American flag and was soon after taken into custody by the secret service. Hmm, oh the irony, jumping the White House fence is considered illegal by an American citizen, but jumping the fence and coming across the Mexican-US border by a non-citizen is not.

But I would ask the question, why was he arrested, why is he made to undergo a psychiatric exam? According to his lawyer, Joseph Anthony Caputo was “not militant, not violent” and definitely not suicidal. Maybe there lies the rub. If he was an illegal or a Syrian refugee, maybe Joseph Anthony Caputo would be a free man today and instead of a court date, he would be a guest of Barack Obama and praised as a Pilgrim. What was Caputo thinking draping himself with the American flag? Dude, you should have used the Mexican or Syrian flag. If you had, you would have been praised by Obama. Just how intolerant could Obama be, maybe this man just thought of himself as an undocumented illegal alien or a Syrian refugee.

An attorney for the man who climbed over the White House fence last week said his client was a “good American” who meant no harm but had chosen an un­usual means of delivering proposals to improve government.

Joseph Anthony Caputo, 23, was “not militant, not violent” and definitely not suicidal, although he was portrayed that way in news accounts, said the lawyer, Stephan Seeger.

I ask this as a serious question, why does the White House have a fence around it and is illegal to trespass on White House grounds? Isn’t the White House supposed to be a microcosm of the United States? Why is it illegal to jump a White House fence but not a United States border fence? Think about it. Different rules for the king as opposed to the peasants.

Suspected Burglar Tries to Play Santa and Failes Badly … Thief Gets Stuck in Chimney & Dies After Home Owner Lights Fire

WE REFER TO THIS AS THE THINNING OF THE HERD … ONLY SANTA CLAUS KNOWS HOW TO USE A CHIMNEY PROPERLY.

Crime really doesn’t pay … Maybe the following story from the Fresno Bee will be a future deterrent for would-be robbers use of a chimney as a means of entering a home. Then again, maybe not. A man attempting to rob a home in Huron died Saturday after his botched burglary attempt ended in his getting stuck in the chimney and then really ended when the home owners lit a fire in the fireplace. After the fire was set, police reported that the home owner heard screams coming from inside the house. At that point the home owner realized that there was some one n the chimney and put the fire out. Can you say roasted robber? The burglar was pronounced dead at the scene.  The man’s identity is being withheld pending notification of his family.

Watch the VIDEO via FOX News and listen to the anchor try and control her laughter …

A man who apparently got stuck in the chimney of a Huron home during a botched burglary attempt died Saturday after the homeowners lit a fire in the fireplace, the Fresno County Sheriff’s Office said.

Lt. Brandon Pursell said deputies received a 911 call to the 16000 block of West Gale Avenue just before 3 p.m. After lighting a fire, the male homeowner heard screaming coming from somewhere inside the house. When the resident realized a person was in the chimney, he extinguished the fire.

Deputies and firefighters had to smash the chimney to get the man out. He was pronounced dead at the scene. The Fresno County coroner will perform an autopsy to confirm a cause of death. The man’s identity is being withheld pending notification of his family.

Are you kidding me that they had to bust the chimney to get the dead criminal out? That probably caused more damage and expense to the homeowner than anything the man could have stolen.
