Dogs put down after ‘horrific’ attack that killed one, injured three others

Two American Staffordshire terriers were put down after killing an elderly man and injuring three others in a Friday west-side attack that San Antonio authorities called “horrific.”

San Antonio Animal Care Services is investigating the incident, which unfolded along the 2800 block of Depla Street shortly before 2 p.m. The victim who died was identified as 81-year-old Ramon Najera, who was visiting a relative with his wife when the dogs rushed at them while they exited their vehicle, ACS officials said.

San Antonio Fire Department crews responding to the scene observed the man “being dragged by a dog (and) completely bloody before they got off the fire truck,” Chief Charles Hood said.

Firefighters began to fight off the dogs with pike poles and pick axes as the emergency evolved into a rescue situation, Hood added.

ACS Director Shannon Sims said the dogs were previously impounded in 2021 for a “mild bite.” An affidavit detailed that the dogs had previously attacked two people on two separate occasions, and ACS had received several calls in the past about the dogs violent behavior.

As a result of past occurrences, ACS required Moreno to use a harness on the dogs due to their behavior. According to a video taken by someone who witnessed the attack, the dogs didn’t have harnesses on.

Second story:

Girl, 6, needs 1,000 stitches, ‘won’t be able to smile again’ after vicious dog attack

A 6-year-old Maine girl’s face was mauled by a pit bull in an attack causing such profound injuries that she’ll never be able to smile again.

Lily Norton needed 1,000 stitches to close wounds extending from under her eyes to the top of her throat, The Sun Journal reported — and was flown to Boston for emergency surgery that lasted 11 hours.

Family friend CJ Pitcher, who created a fundraiser for the little girl, told the outlet Lily’s doctors said she wouldn’t be able to smile again because of the damage.

“Her salivary glands aren’t working … and doctors said she won’t be able to smile again,” Pitcher told the outlet. “Muscles are too damaged.”

Lily will be sedated for at least a week to prevent her from scratching at her face, according to Pitcher. The little girl’s mom, Dorothy Norton, told News Center Maine while Lily is sedated, she’ll need a breathing tube.

When the Feb. 18 attack occurred, Lily was at a friend’s house for a playdate, and the friend’s mom was reportedly dog-sitting the pit bull.

“They were going to play cards at the table, so she sat down at the table, the friend went and got the cards, and then as soon as the friend walked back in the room, she screamed to her mom because the dog had Lily in her mouth,” Norton said.

We have a dead elderly man, a little girl whose face is damaged for life, and a few other people who got bitten.

It seems that a lot of human carnage could have been avoided with a prophylactic course of heavy metal to some pitbulls.

Repairman on roof fends off robbers trying to steal his truck

A Texas repairman confronted by three armed men looking to steal his truck was able to get the best of the would-be robbers, forcing them to run away.

Donald Burns, 69, was working Feb. 7 on top of the roof of a Houston convenience store, trying to repair a cooler overnight. Surveillance video shows three men approach about 2 a.m. Burns says one of the suspects had a gun and held it in a ready position.

“I heard them holler, ‘Throw down the keys,’” Burns said.

The suspects wanted Burns’ truck. But the repairman says the vehicle is an integral part of his business, and he could not afford to let them have it.

The man with the gun started climbing the ladder to the roof, as seen in surveillance video.

“About two steps up that ladder, and I grabbed my tool bag. I said, ‘I’m going to smash your brains out, and I’m going to cut you up with this knife. You better go,’” Burns said. “I said, ‘I’m going to get you. I don’t care if you shoot me, but I’m going to get you.’”

Here is the video:

That old man wasn’t going to be passive.  Dude was about to fuck up three guys with guns with a hammer and a utility knife to save his business.

It’s not the size of the dog in the fight, it’s the size of the fight in the dog.

I hope he gets a gun and starts carrying it on the job.

Fuck knows that if my job had me outside at 2:00 am, I’d have a 9mm hanging on my tool belt.

California City to Charge More Than $1,000 for Gun Carry Permits https://t.co/DTjrmzN9C4

— The Reload (@TheReloadSite) March 1, 2023

In La Verne, California, it’s $1,000 for the permit fee and $650 to renew every other year.

The reason for this is obvious, it’s the same reason pistol permits in NYC were so expensive, to make it prohibitive for ordinary people to get them.

They don’t want people carrying guns so they will make the right unaffordable.

Its the same reason Democrats placed a poll tax on the Right to vote.

I’m looking forward to a second round of lawsuits that seek to destroy this malicious compliance intended to prevent localities from having to issue permits under Bruen.

Miguel touched on this earlier with Ryan Pussy Busse.

Well David Hogg and former FBI Assistant Director and current NBC News security analyst Frank Figliuzzi have gone with this bullshit too.

IANAL, but this seems to be getting dangerously close to libel, both of S&W and of Travis Kennedy, the man in the picture.

@FrankFigliuzzi1 I said this to @davidhogg111 that is me in the photo and I want to make this very clear. Neither myself, S&W nor Perception Brand and affiliated with the proud boys. Do research before you post lies.

I hope they all get sued for this.

LA DA Gascon suspends prosecutor for misgendering and ‘deadnaming’ trans child molester accused of murder

Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascon has suspended the attorney who prosecuted a 26-year-old trans child molester who was accused of identifying as a woman only after DNA evidence linked her to a cold case crime, according to law enforcement sources.

Shea Sanna, who had been the lead prosecutor for part of the case, is accused of misgendering and “deadnaming” the convicted child molester Hannah Tubbs, who is now accused of beating a man to death in the woods with a rock in Kern County.

Sanna has argued in the past that jailhouse phone calls show Tubbs, now 27, was attempting to use gender identity to game the justice system – an argument that sources say made others in Gascon’s office uncomfortable and led to the suspension.

Tubbs has a lengthy criminal history in California and Idaho under the former name, James Tubbs – and allegedly began identifying as female after being arrested in connection with a 2014 child molestation case in which she pleaded guilty to attacking a 10-year-old girl in a Denny’s bathroom stall.

Tubbs was the center of controversy last year when recordings of his phone conversations showed that we was gaming the system to get away with his crimes as a youth offender.

Now,  he’s using transgender politics to game the system even more.

For the Left, that’s not the problem.

The problem is a prosecutor using the wrong pronouns for a child molester.

I don’t think it could be any clearer.

In Blue cities, the justice system is run by the perverts for the perverts against the normal people.

This is delightfully beautiful given its genesis.

On Saturday, February 25, there was supposed to be a “day of hate.”

According to The Jerusalem Post:

News of the “Day of Hate” came following a leaked internal memo by the New York Police Department’s Intelligence and Counterterrorism Bureau. The memo warned officers that online organizers are “instructing likeminded individuals to drop banners, place stickers and flyers, or scrawl graffiti as a form of biased so-called action.”

“While there are no identified threats to New York City, out of an abundance of caution, the Department will deploy additional resources to sensitive locations, including houses of worship, throughout the weekend,” an NYPD spokesperson told The Jerusalem Post on Friday. “We urge all New Yorkers to remain vigilant.”

Yair Rosenberg, an Atlantic reporter, shared a Facebook post from New York City Councilmember James Gennaro saying that a flyer for the Day of Hate that’s been circulating on social “has been fabricated” but there will be a higher law enforcement presence near synagogues on February 25. Gennaro’s office followed up with a post on Facebook confirming that the Day of Hate is real.

“I have just received a call from CO Kevin Chan at the NYPD 107th precinct, and my office can now confirm that the memo regarding the “Day of Hate” is, in fact, real,” the post said. “It appears as though the previously released flyer was a leaked draft, and therefore, was determined to be unsubstantiated at the time. While this is an unfortunate development, know that my office remains committed to ensuring our community remains safe. Per my request, there will still be additional patrol and police presence near synagogues in the district this Saturday. As always, we ask all to remain vigilant and call 9-1-1 to report any suspicious activity and/or crime.

Police were on alert in my area.

Police in New England Increase Patrols After ‘National Day of Hate’ Social Media Posts

Police departments across New England have issued alerts and stepped up their presence this weekend after social media posts referenced a supposed “National Day of Hate” against Jewish groups.

Brookline police said the situation started with an anti-Semitic group based in Iowa, which reached out to its supporters calling for them to “shock the masses with banners, fliers, & graffiti.” The department has plans to increase patrols in areas of religious institutions, especially temples and synagogues.

Authorities say there is no immediate threat of violence to the community and that they are adding the patrols out of an abundance of caution. In the meantime though, police are asking people to report anything suspicious.

Fortunately, nothing happened.

Now let us consider the totality of the situation.

Antisemitic violence is at an all-time high in the post WWII era.

Antisemitic hate crimes are up in every major city.

In 2020, 60% of all hate crimes were against Jews.

Antisemitic hate crimes doubled in New York over the last couple of years.

So the threat to the Jewish community is real.

So what was the response to police in major cities playing this nebulous threat safe by increasing patrols around Synagogues on Saturday.

It was a hoax. They diverted police resources to respond to something that didn't happen. That's not good either, is it? https://t.co/fDKnLEoww6

— jimtreacher.substack.com (@jtLOL) February 26, 2023

Given the number if violent antisemitic incidents that have happened, I don’t believe the added patrols were unwarranted.

Moreover, if there is any job the police do that is worth the cost, attempting to prevent crime by visibly patrolling an area is definitely that.

That is, ideally, what we pay police for, to try and prevent crime.

Nope, the Jews don’t deserve that.

Yes. I knew it was a hoax before it didn’t happen. If you’re criticized for calling the fire department to an address that isn’t burning, do you think your critics deny the existence of fire?

— jimtreacher.substack.com (@jtLOL) February 26, 2023

I’m glad he was prescient enough to guarantee that nothing would happen.

This wasn't a threat.

— jimtreacher.substack.com (@jtLOL) February 26, 2023

How about any level of threat? Like, one specific target.

— jimtreacher.substack.com (@jtLOL) February 26, 2023

Is there more than one synagogue in New York?

— jimtreacher.substack.com (@jtLOL) February 26, 2023

Now we’ve reach the point where he is an utter asshole.

No matter the facts, the Jews are not worthy of any preventative police action.

Good to know.

But, here is the bigger problem.

We understand, from a security perspective, how those who are a threat probe and harass the system.

We see this from terrorists all the time.

Make a threat.

The system responds.

Do not carry out the threat.

The system calls it a hoax.

Repeat this process until the system stops responding to threats, assuming they are hoaxes.

This is when the attack comes.

This is why the police always respond to bomb threats.

This is why the Israelis take every threat seriously.

It was a hoax this time.  Or was it the security system being probed.

When white supremacist groups, or anyone else, makes threats like this on the internet, it’s a worthwhile use of law enforcement to increase presence to show that the system takes these threats seriously.

This asshole thinks that and resources used to protect the Jews is a waste.
