Hero of the Month: 7 Year Old Brittney Baxter Fights Off Attempted Kidnapping of Ex-Con Thomas Andrew Woods in Georgia Walmart

NEVER LET IT BE SAID THAT ALL CHILDREN SHOULD NOT BE SHOWN HOW TO REACT IN ATTEMPTED KIDNAPPING … ENTER  OUR BRAVE 7 YEAR OLD HERO BRITTNEY BAXTER …

7 year old Brittney Baxter is a hero after her quick thinking yesterday in an attempted kidnapping at a Georgia Walmart. Thomas Andrew Woods, an ex-con convicted of voluntary manslaughter, was on probation just could not help himself. The 25 year old ex-con was taken into custody in the attempted kidnapping of Brittany Baxter. Had it now been for the little girl’s quick reaction to resist the abduction by kicking and screaming when the felony dirt-bag attempted to drag her out of the Walmart, who knows how tragic this story would have become. Actually, we know how bad it would have been.

From the AJC

Thomas Andrew Woods, 25, of Austell, was taken into custody and questioned before being arrested Wednesday afternoon, Bremen Police Chief Keith Pesnell told the AJC.

“We’re pretty confident we’ve got the right guy,” Pesnell said.

But as Woods was being led in handcuffs from the police department to a patrol car, he told reporters that the police had the wrong man.

“I was never there,” Woods said.

According to police, Woods started talking to Brittney Baxter in the toy aisle of the Wal-Mart and then grabbed her and put his hand around her mouth.

But Brittney kicked and screamed, and the man let her go, police said. Neither she nor her mother, who was nearby in the store, was injured.

From the files of once a piece of law breaking scum, always a piece of law breaking scum, Thomas Andrew Woods was released in October 2011 from the Wheeler Correctional Facility, where he had been since April 2007 following his manslaughter conviction in DeKalb county. Nice, glad to see he learned advanced child sex predator in prison. Let’s hope they lock this POS, oh sorry, alleged POS away and throw away the key. Anyone that would attempt such a brazen kidnap attempt should never be allowed near the general public.

300 Barack Obama Endorsed Occupy Oakland Protesters Arrested after Violent Clash with Police … Protesters Assault Police Officers

 Take a good look America at what President Barack Obama is endorsing.

In yesterdays confrontation with police, nearly 300 Occupy Oakland protesters. These protesting thugs stated their intention was to provoke officers and engage in illegal activity. That is exactly what took place.  Most of the arrests were made when protesters ignored orders to leave and assaulted police officers.

Pics of protest in Oakland can be seen at the LA Times.

Dozens of police maintained a late-night guard around City Hall following daylong protests that resulted in 300 arrests. Occupy Oakland demonstrators broke into the historic building and burned a U.S. flag, as officers earlier fired tear gas to disperse people throwing rocks and tearing down fencing at a convention center.

Saturday’s protests — the most turbulent since Oakland police forcefully dismantled an Occupy encampment in November — came just days after the group said it planned to use a vacant building as a social center and political hub and threatened to try to shut down the port, occupy the airport and take over City Hall.

Comments from Mayor Jean Quan as Occupy Oakland protesters threw rocks, bottles and other objects at officers.

An exasperated Mayor Jean Quan, who faced heavy criticism for the police action last fall, called on the Occupy movement to “stop using Oakland as its playground.”

“People in the community and people in the Occupy movement have to stop making excuses for this behavior,” Quan said.

Protesters clashed with police throughout the day, at times throwing rocks, bottles and other objects at officers. Police responded by deploying smoke, tear gas and bean bag rounds, City Administrator Deanna Santanta said.

Oh yeah Barack Obama, these folks really represent the 99%, they represent anarchy and law breaking. Is that what Obama is endorsing? Some one might want to bring this up during the 2012 Presidential election.

UPDATE I: Arrests have now gone over 400 in Oakland. The Occupy protesters have so much to be proud of.

More than 400 anti-Wall Street protesters were arrested in Oakland during a night of skirmishes in which police fired tear gas and bean bag projectiles, the city said on Sunday, marking one of the biggest mass arrests since nationwide economic protests began last year.

FEDS Close Down File-Sharing Site Megaupload … FBI & DOJ Arrest 7 Charged with Copyright Infringement and Conspiracy … So Who Needs SOPA and PIPA?

In what is being deemed the largest criminal copyright case, the US Justice Department and the Federal Bureau of Investigation have shut down and seized the Web site Megaupload.  They have charged seven people  for running an international enterprise based on Internet piracy. Four individuals, including the site’s founder, Kim Dotcom have been arrested in New Zealand, three others remain at large. They have been charged with five counts of copyright infringement and conspiracy. Megaupload Ltd. isbased in Hong Kong, and its collection of websites generated more than $175 million in criminal proceeds and caused more than half a billion dollars in harm to copyright owners.

In what the federal authorities on Thursday called one of the largest criminal copyright cases ever brought, the Justice Department and the Federal Bureau of Investigation seized the Web site Megaupload and charged seven people connected with it with running an international enterprise based on Internet piracy.

Coming just a day after civil protests in the United States over proposed antipiracy bills, the arrests were greeted almost immediately with digital Molotov cocktails. The hacker collective that calls itself Anonymous attacked the Web sites of the Justice Department and several major entertainment companies and trade groups in retaliation for Mega-upload’s seizure. The Justice Department’s site and several others remained inaccessible for much of Thursday afternoon.

Megaupload, one of the most popular so-called locker services on the Internet, allowed users to anonymously transfer large files like movies and music. Media companies have long accused it of abetting copyright infringement on a vast scale. In a grand jury indictment, Megaupload is accused of causing $500 million in damages to copyright owners and of making $175 million through selling ads and premium subscriptions.

The indictment can be read HERE.

Just curious, if the Feds could take down an uber web site like Megaupload, what do they need SOPA and PIPA for? So what is the need for SOPA and PIPA. Let me rephrase the question to the US Congress, what is the real reason for SOPA and PIPA?As stated at Gizmodo, it would appear that you did fine with the laws that are presently in place.

Let’s also think about the timing of this bust. It’s a pretty spectacular coincidence that the Department of Justice Task Force on Intellectual Property was able to destroy a copyright villain without any help from SOPA or PIPA the day after the internet’s giant SOPA protest. Do you hear that, lawmakers? The law, as it stands right now was able to kill Megaupload.com, no draconian censorship powers required. The power you have now—with due process—is achieving the things you say you want to do

UPDATE I: REVENGE OF ANONYMOUS  … Anonymous Goes on Megaupload Revenge Spree: DoJ, RIAA, MPAA, and Universal Music All Offline. Yikes, knocked off line it the websites of the FBI, U.S. Department of Justice.

WOW, talk about carnage and laying waste to everything in Anonymous’ path. Statement from Anonymous.

UPDATE II: What a terrifying precedent

The Electronic Frontier Foundation, which defends free speech and digital rights online, said in a statement that, “This kind of application of international criminal procedures to Internet policy issues sets a terrifying precedent. If the United States can seize a Dutch citizen in New Zealand over a copyright claim, what is next?”

29 People Still Missing Following Italian Cruise Ship Costa Concordia Running Aground

The search goes on by rescuers for missing survivors following the cruise ship Costa Concordia running aground off the Italian coast. Italian coastguard official stated that the number of people missing had been revised up to 29 – 25 passengers.  Amazing pics can be seen of the rescue attempts at the UK Daily Mail.  It looks like a cross between Titanic and the Poseiden Adventure. Say a prayer.

A stricken Italian cruise liner shifted on its rocky resting place on Monday as worsening weather disrupted an increasingly despairing hunt for survivors and authorities raised their estimate of the number missing to 29 people.

As the Costa Concordia’s owners blamed their captain for veering shorewards on Friday in a bravura “salute” to residents of a Tuscan island, the giant ship slid a little, threatening to plunge its whole gigantic carcass and 2,300 tonnes of fuel below the Mediterranean waters of the surrounding nature reserve.

The slippage forced rescuers to suspend for a few hours their efforts to find anyone still alive after three days in the capsized hull, resting on a jagged slope outside the picturesque harbor on the island of Giglio. Six bodies have been found. Most of the 4,200 passengers and crew survived, despite hours of chaos.

Fears grow as time goes by in the search for those still missing. The ship’s owners have blamed the captain for Friday’s crash, saying he changed course towards an island. According to accounts, the ship’s captain, Capt Schettino, has been accused of abandoning his vessel before all the passengers had been evacuated. So much for the captain going down with the ship. Capt Schettino was arrested on suspicion of manslaughter.

Person of Interest Detained for Questioning in L.A. Arson Fires (UPDATE: Harry Burkhart Arrested)

As reported at the LA Times, a person of interest has been detained and is being questioned in regards to the numerous arson fires that have taken place recently in Los Angeles. Officials said Sunday that they have linked at least 39 fires to those arsons, which began Friday morning. According to LAPD, the individual considered to be the POI is believed to be the man seen in a video police released Sunday in connection with the case.

Los Angeles police this morning detained and are questioning a “person of interest” in the spate of arson fires occurring around the city since Friday.

The individual, believed to be the man seen in a video police released Sunday in connection with the case, was detained near Sunset Boulevard this morning, according to an LAPD source familiar with the investigation.

However, in a statement, a Los Angeles fire official said that “it is too early to speculate if this person is responsible for the spree of arson fires.”

I guess we will know if they have detained the correct individual by the number of fired, or lack there of, as the POI is on custody.

UPDATE I: As reported at Hot Air, The LAPD says that they discovered “evidence and materials” in the suspect’s minivan that leads them to believe he’s at least involved.

Los Angeles Police Department detectives found materials that could have been used to set fires inside the minivan of a “person of interest” detained for questioning in the recent string of L.A. arson fires, law enforcement sources told The Times.

The sources did not reveal details but said detectives confiscated “evidence and materials” that suggest the individual had the ability to ignite some or all of the blazes.

UPDATE II: German man Harry Burkhart arrested and being held without bail and was called by Sheriff Lee Baca as the “most dangerous arsonist in Los Angeles County that I can recall.”

“Our long four-day nightmare is over,” said Los Angeles County Supervisor Zev Yaroslavsky.

CBS News correspondent Lee Cowan says Burkhart is suspected of starting as many as 53 car fires over 4 days — many spreading to the apartment buildings above.

Cowan says Burkhart is believed to be the same man caught on surveillance cameras leaving one of the crime scenes – and he’s being held without bail.

#OWS: Occupy Wall Street Protesters Break New Years Resolution to Follow the Law … Thugs Clash with Police, Break down Barricades at Zuccotti Park & Stab Cop

That didn’t take long for #OWS protesters to break their New Years resolution of being law abiding citizens.

America, take a good look at the President Barack Hussein Obama endorsed Occupy Wall Street protesters. These individuals have no respect for the police or regard for the law.  The Occupy savages started 2012 the same way they left off in 2011.  Protesters clashed with police at Zuccotti park as some 800 protesters tried to take back the park where one police officer was stabbed by a protesters. The suspect along with many other protesters were arrested as the NYPD cleared the park of human debris.

Unbelievable VIDEO of the anarchy of the Occupy Protesters at Zuccotti Park

As reported at the New York Times, The Occupy Wall Street protesters pushed their luck with the NYPD and lost.

More than 500 people associated with the Occupy Wall Street movement gathered in Zuccotti Park on Saturday and, in a return to scenes from earlier in the year, the evening began with the sound of drumming and calls of the now familiar slogan, “We are the 99 percent” — and it ended with torn-down barricades and a scuffle with police officers.

Just after 10:30 p.m. on New Year’s Eve, officers carried a person out of the park, prompting protesters to follow behind them, shouting “Shame!” The reason the person was escorted away was unclear.

About 20 minutes later, a group of protesters grabbed some of the metal barricades that surround the park and began piling them inside. As they gripped the barricades, police officers took hold as well, and a shoving match began, the silver bars trapped in between. At least one police officer fired an arch of pepper spray into the crowd behind those barricades.

Moments later, at least a dozen police officers charged into the park, plowing directly into a crowd of people, some of whom were trying to flee, pushing and shoving. One man was thrown down and pinned to the ground by several officers.

Barack Obma and Democrats have much explaining to do as to why they endorse the breaking of the law and attacking police officers.  In the end, the Occupy Wall Street fought the law and the law won.

UPDATE I: 68 Occupy protesters arrested in NYC on New Year’s.

Two Charged With Public Indecency in Western Illinois for Being McNude

McNUDE  … file this one under, nothing ever good happens when you are out after 2 AM.

Two individuals are being charged with public indecency for their little stunt of going through the McDonald’s drive-thru totally naked. The male and female duo were still in the McD’s parking lot when police arrived. The two were released from Knox County Jail after being ordered to appear in court. No is no truth to the rumor that the nude man wanted his Big Mac order “super-sized”.

I am guessing the two were in the parking lot contemplating what was in a Big Mac?

Police in Galesburg say a 19-year-old El Paso man and a 21-year-old Galesburg woman were released from Knox County Jail after being ordered to appear in court to face public indecency charges.

WGIL Radio reports that the duo was still in the McDonald’s parking lot when officers arrived just before 2 a.m. Wednesday. Police say the man was crouched over in the driver’s seat trying to put on a pair of pants, while his passenger was covering up in a blanket.

The not-so bright nude duo might have wanted to have got out of Dodge, not stay in the parking lot. All this and it was not even New Years Eve where we could blame it all on alcohol.

Obama Endorsed OWS … Four Occupy Charlotte Protesters, Including the spokesman Charged For Setting Fire to Two American Flags

More from the Barack Obama endorsed Occupy protests …

Four Occupy Charlotte Protesters were arrested and charged for setting fire to two American flags early Friday near the Occupy  Charlotte camp in Center City, NC. One of the protesters charged was the spokesman for the Occupy gang. The police  arrested 20 year old Stephen Christopher Morris of Matthews, 28 year old Jason Bargert of Charlotte, 23 year old Michael Alan Behrle of Matthews and 19 year old Alex Macon Tyler of Fort Mill.  Before the LEFT get too crazy, don’t worry, the Occupy “burn flag” protesters were not arrested for burning an American flag, that of course is not illegal. However,  doing it outside of a fire pit, and within ten feet from flammable tents was the issue.

Charlotte-Mecklenburg police weren’t sure earlier if the four men who set fire to two flags were associated with the Occupy Charlotte movement.

But, WBTV has learned that one of the men is the media spokesman for the Occupy group and has been the contact person listed on press releases from Occupy Charlotte.

The fires happened with in feet of the group’s encampment.

Earlier reports indicated one flag was burned, but a police report says that 2 US flags were burned.

So who knew, President Barack Obama now endorses the burning of the American flag?

9 People Arrested as Youths Riot at Mall of America in Bloomington, MN

Is this really what America has come to be for some?

All hell broke loose at the Mall of America in Bloomington, Minnesota the day after Christmas as hundreds of youths rioted, threw chairs, drinks, punches and anything they could get a hold of. No one was reported seriously hurt; however, 9 people were arrested, including several juveniles for disorderly conduct. Is this their idea of a Christmas flash mob? I think the punk youths missed the point, this is a proper flash mob (VIDEO - Hallelujah Chorus).

Witnesses said the fights started after there were reports that rappers Lil’ Wayne and Drake were visiting the Mall. Oh, cuz Lil’ Wayne and Drake were there, that makes it perfectly ok for youths to lose their collective minds and riot. Good Grief!

As reported at KARE 11.  Honestly, who acts like this?

Fists flew and so did a few chairs during a large-scale brawl at the Mall of America Monday.

“Anytime you have a large group of people together things can happen,” said Commander Mark Stehlik with Bloomington Police. “But this is highly unusual.”

Shortly after 4 p.m., authorities confirm more than 20 individuals started fighting in the north food court. Cellphone video uploaded to YouTube shows dozens of young people watching while some push, punch, and even throw chairs. At that same time, police say several other fights flared up in other places of the mall.

“There were drinks thrown on the floor and chairs being thrown everywhere,” said Tess Dessalgne who witnessed the brawl. “Everyone started running towards the fight.”

112 People Arrested in Child Porn Ring in 22 Countries … Good Riddance to Vile Rubbish

Huge bust in war old child pornography …

Europol has arrested 112 pedophiles encompassing 22 countries in connection with a child pornography ring. According to reports there have been a total of 269 suspects identified. As per the AP, the nations involved in the investigation were Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, Croatia, Norway and Switzerland.

Europol says 112 people have been arrested in connection with a major investigation into child pornography that stretched across 22 European countries.

The European police coordination agency says there are 269 suspects in all in the investigation, which was carried out under the leadership of Danish police. Nineteen men aged 24 to 55 years old are facing preliminary charges in Denmark.

The investigation was known as “Operation Icarus,” targeted the worst of the worst and those sharing the most extreme and vile forms of video material, which included babies and toddlers being sexually abused and raped. GOOD GRIEF, COULD THIS BE ANY MORE VILE!

The yearlong “Operation Icarus” busted previously unknown networks of child sex offenders who were sharing the child pornography via a “peer-to-peer” system, a Europol spokesman reportedly said.

So much material was seized it will take months or even years to analyze, the Irish Times reported, adding that the material had been described as the “worst of the worst.”
