Sad and Dangerous!

Haitian Crisis at the Border, Question is How?
According to the World Atlas the country of Haiti has of just over 11 million people. Haiti has been well known for it’s political upheavals, presidential assassinations, and devastating earthquakes. That has left millions homeless. But here is the question! How did thousand of Haitian immigrants get to the US state of Texas? How can so many be flooding the United States borders? California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas. So many that it’s caused an immigration crisis. To start answering the question. We know that Haiti is over 3 million km or 2 million miles for Texas. So how the immigrants got there wasn’t an easy or hasty process. That being said, what would compel anyone to take the hazardous journey? Same as with most immigrants, a hope for a better life. But you have to wonder how could the US government and it’s Border Patrol Agency not see a sea of people coming there way? Well it doesn’t take a lot to see how this is a well coordinated influx. It is design to bring about as many problems for the Biden administration. As well as cause more social chaos and division in our country. For some the Border crisis with Mexico didn’t pan out as well as they wanted. President Obama weathered the media and social media storm through two terms as president. President Trump used the illegal immigrant situation to not only push him into the White House. But to line his own pockets according to some. So what better way to make President Biden look bad and create problems for him at the same time? Use people of darker color. Think about this, Trump used the image of Latins Hispanics people of color to scam his way into the White House. They have used the Black Lives Matters movement to crack down on people of color voting rights. He used the Corona virus to spread hate against Asian American and Asian people of color. They continually tying to sown division among people of color. By first pitting them against other people. Then pitting them against each other. It always starts as American vs? Then becomes Patriot vs, Black vs, Asian vs Latin and Hispanic vs. Because they don’t want you to see that it has always been We vs Everybody. No I didn’t say White vs because THEY are not totally white. Many different factions want you believe they are all white supremacist. But you can’t just walk into countries and manipulate thousand of people into placing there lives in danger. If you don’t even look like them. Meaning, the sell out starts where you are. Think about it, whenever people, the world gets to a place where people all around are coming together as one. There becomes a surge of division and ultimately racism to slow it down. You just need to pay attention and it’s obvious. So now there's thousands Haitian immigrants on the United States Texas border. And they’re people of color, and make no mistake are considered black people by law enforcement, citizen of Texas, and the government. So while some will cry it’s so sad what is happening to all those poor immigrants. THEY will do there best to make it into a black vs United States of America. Just like THEY tried to make it a Latin / Hispanic vs United State. Asian vs United States. You should have gotten the picture by now. Americans can’t honestly claim to be woke and not see this is whats going on is connected. And many US people of color will get caught up taking the bait. THEY have always wanted a race war. THEY always start war with race or religion or both. Then stand by and watch us kill ourselves off. So again, how did so many Haitians get to Texas from an island 2 million mile away? Most Haitians came via Nicaragua or Honduras in South America. The distance to South America from Haiti is only just below 950 miles. Travel to South America is a difficult task by itself. So to get from Haiti to the United States is impossible unless you have help of some kind. Some one with a lot of money and power is making sure they get there. No one drug cartel, no one Racist group can pull together so many people so fast. And move them so far. That you couldn’t see them coming you way. The Texas authorities noticed something strange in the influx of immigrants coming. That’s because it was an influx of foreign black people. But when the shear volume of foreign black people became unsettling. They tried to get assistance from the federal government. But by the time the federal government to it seriously. There was over 8 thousand illegal immigrants. Soon they will start reporting on how crimes in Texas has gone up due to the illegal Haitians. Soon after the word Haitian will be code for saying black person in Texas. Which itself will create a distrust and hate between people of color. African American vs Haitian , Black vs Black ! And that’s what THEY want. Convince them not to take the vaccine so covid will kill them off. And when that didn’t work entirely. Let’s try harder pitting them one on one. THEY have been doing this from the begging of man. And they’re not stopping now here in the Untied States of America or elsewhere. Don’t fall back to sleep. Don’t close your eyes to what they’re pulling. See it for what it really is. THEY DON’T WANT WORLD PEACE. THEY don’t want positive beings to flourish. And to keep us as cattle THEY will use us against us. Call them what you want, THEY, Elite, or Q anon whatever name you chose. The point is, if you know that someone is going to slap you. Do you get hit or stop them. But you do have a choice if you see it coming. Now you see it coming.

Privilege Much? Same crime, punishment worlds apart.

Ohio Court Sentences Black Woman to 18 Months in Prison the Day After Giving White Woman Probation for Same Crime Michael Harriot Mon, August 9, 2021, 3:30 PM EDT Ohio Court Sentences Black Woman to 18 Months in Prison the Day After Giving White Woman Probation for Same Crime While the above headline may seem incendiary, it is important not to draw false equivalencies because all criminal cases are not equal. For example, in this specific story, two women—one Black, one white—were convicted of the exact same crime. However, the two cases are not the same. One is worse than the other. According to the Plain Dealer, On August 2, former Chagrin Falls, Ohio Village Clerk Debbie Bosworth pleaded no contest to 22 counts of theft in office, tampering with records and money laundering after auditors discovered she had embezzled more than $238,000 over the span of 20 years. The Cuyahoga County Prosecutor’s Office rejected the 53-year-old Bosworth’s plea and asked a judge to sentence her to prison, even though she wrote a check for $100,000 to repay part of her debt when her scheme was uncovered. But Bosworth is white, as is Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court Judge Hollie Gallagher. And in the history of America, there isn’t one documented case of a “Hollie” sending a “Debbie” to prison (yes, we actually checked). So, Gallagher, citing the fact that Bosworth paid back some of the money she stole, sentenced her fellow white woman to two years probation, much to the chagrin of Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Michael O’Malley, who issued a statement saying he found the sentence “to be unacceptable in that he believes public employees who steal from taxpayers should go to prison.” The very next day, Assistant Cuyahoga County Prosecutor James Gutierrez—the same assistant district attorney who prosecuted Bosworth—recommended a prison sentence for 51-year-old former school secretary Karla Hopkins for stealing $40,000 from Maple Heights High School. Although Hopkins appeared before the exact same court, Hopkins’ judge was a white man, Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court Rick Bell. Unlike Bosworth, Gallagher pleaded guilty. Unlike Bosworth, Hopkins was only charged with one count of theft in office. Unlike Bosworth, Hopkins had already found a new job, completed an in-patient program for her gambling addiction and had promised to repay the money she stole. The Plain Dealer reports: Hopkins told Bell that she emptied her pension — she didn’t know how much was in it but said, after taxes, she received about $20,000 — to pay her bills after the school fired her. Her attorney, Bret Jordan, said that she began stealing the money while dealing with mental health issues and her gambling addiction but has since gotten treatment and gone through a job placement program. In the meantime, she came up with $5,000 to pay toward her restitution. Assistant Cuyahoga County Prosecutor James Gutierrez, like Brydle did with Bosworth, sought a prison sentence for Hopkins. He told Bell that the state would be fine with a sentence of between nine and 12 months. Bell scolded Hopkins for taking her pension money, and sentenced her to 18 months in prison — six more months than Gutierrez requested. Neither judge could comment on their sentences but Cleveland activists immediately decried the disparity in the two sentences. The white woman committed more crimes, over a longer period of time. She stole more money than the Black woman. She had 21 more charges and cost taxpayers six times more money. She was facing 60 years in prison while the Black woman’s maximum sentence was three years. Yet the Black woman received more prison time than prosecutors wanted her to spend in jail. “I think it reinforces the lack of trust in the justice system,” said Danielle Sydnor, president of Cleveland’s NAACP chapter. “These types of things are the way the system was designed, and they will continue to happen if we don’t have large-scale reform.” Nationwide, Black people convicted of crimes received 20 percent longer sentences than similarly situated whites who commit the same offenses, according to the U.S. Sentencing Commission. In Ohio, the state’s Black residents are imprisoned at 6 times the rate of Ohio’s white residents, according to the Sentencing Project. In 1999, a report from the Commission on Racial Fairness found that Black Ohioans are sentenced to prison at grossly disproportionate rates compared to their white counterparts. The study, requested by the Chief Justice of the Ohio Supreme Court, determined that “the consensus of the available research acknowledges that minorities are more frequently sentenced to prison and generally receive harsher penalties than do whites.” In 2020, a different Ohio Supreme Court Justice, along with the Ohio Sentencing Commission, launched a push to create the Ohio Sentencing Data Platform, which would collect data from the state’s criminal courts. The judges could voluntarily use the database to show the average sentences for similar cases instead of depending on their own individual perceptions. However, many judges in the state refused to even sign up for the program, citing the need for judicial discretion. Of the 34 Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court’s judges, only ten said they plan to use the program, six of whom are serving their first term. Cuyahoga County has the highest percentage of Black residents in Ohio.

Navy sailor called 'vile, inhuman creature' sentenced to 210 years for rape and assault of infants, toddlers.


Brian Hallenbeck and Taylor Hartz, The Day, New London, Conn.
Wed, June 23, 2021, 9:33 AM·5 min read Jun. 22—Navy sailor Randall Tilton was sentenced to 210 years in federal prison Tuesday for the sexual abuse of seven infants and toddlers in a case U.S. District Judge Jeffrey Meyer and government prosecutors called the worst of its kind they've ever seen.
Before Meyer sentenced Tilton, parents of several of the victims spoke either by Zoom or in person at the federal courthouse in New Haven, where Tilton sat, dressed in prison garb, wearing a face mask.
One mother described him as "a vile, inhuman creature."
"I don't wish you death, but a long life full of pain," another said.
A father who addressed the court struggled to deliver a profanity-laced condemnation of Tilton.
"I beg of you, your Honor, don't ever let him out," a mother of one of the victims said. "He belongs in the general (prison) population, and I understand what that would mean for him and I don't care."
Tilton delivered a statement in which he apologized to the victims.
"It's not just the production of child pornography, the video, images, for your own satisfaction, which is not even a charge in this case," Meyer told Tilton before pronouncing sentence. "What really sets it apart is the scores and scores of hands-on acts of sexual abuse of seven children — much worse than hands on — that goes on for year after year. ... And for some of these children, it's rape, there's no other word for it — rapes of children who knew you and who you knew could not complain."
In arguing for a 30-year sentence, Moira Buckley, the federal public defender representing Tilton, said, "We're asking for daylight at the end of the sentencing tunnel. ... His life is going to be one long prison term whether he's in prison or out."
Meyer told Tilton he was troubled by his choice of victims — "children under your complete whim and control" — and was not persuaded to be lenient by Tilton's military service or by the fact he has not been convicted of other crimes. The judge said he was not confident that Tilton would be rehabilitated in prison and was concerned that if Tilton were released in his 50s, he could still inflict harm.
"I also think about the peace of mind of the victims," Meyer said. "I heard them loud and clear."
Meyer adopted prosecutors' recommendation that Tilton serve his sentence at Federal Medical Center, Devens, a federal prison in eastern Massachusetts for male inmates requiring specialized or long-term medical or mental health care.
The sentence includes an order that Tilton pay more than $900,000 in restitution to his victims.
Tilton, a New Hampshire native who was stationed at the Naval Submarine Base in Groton aboard the USS South Dakota as a machinists mate 1st class, waived his right to be indicted and pleaded guilty in December to child pornography offenses related to his sexual abuse of two infants as young as 4 months old and five toddlers, most of whom were about 3 years old when Tilton's abuse of them began.
The criminal activity spanned three states — California, New Hampshire and Connecticut — over the course of eight years.
Tilton violently raped the two infants and published videos he made of his abuse to the dark web. He took pornographic photos of a Navy comrade's 4-year-old daughter at a BBQ and raped and recorded videos of the 7-year-old daughter of a local woman he met on a dating app.
Tilton told investigators he abused his first infant victim more than 300 times. His rapes became increasingly violent, prosecutors said, and a video of his rape was viewed more than 100,000 times on the dark web. In forums on the dark web, Tilton spoke publicly about how much he enjoyed what he did.
"While it is hard to imagine what would lead a person to sexually abuse any child, it is inconceivable that a person could be so inherently evil as to prey upon infants. Randall Tilton, however, is the personification of that very evil," Assistant U.S. Attorney Nancy V. Gifford wrote in a 25-page sentencing memo filed with the court this month.
"It is difficult to overstate — or even to adequately state — the horrifying nature of Tilton's crimes," Gifford wrote in the memo, which at one point describes Tilton's crimes as "among the most horrific seen in this district."
In imposing the maximum, 210-year penalty — 30 years for each of seven counts — Meyer adopted the prosecutors' sentencing recommendation. In seeking a 30-year sentence, Tilton and his attorneys had submitted a letter Tilton wrote to the judge in which Tilton calls his actions "selfish, destructive, unnatural and wrong."
Prosecutors said that in another letter Tilton wrote from prison to someone he considers his grandfather, Tilton described his abuse — and how much he enjoyed it — in great detail.
"Tilton's own words, captured in comments he made in forums on the dark web and chilling letters sent from prison, demonstrate that he reveled in the abuse and brutality he inflicted," Gifford wrote.
Meyer referred to Tilton's letter to the grandfather figure as "that remarkable letter you wrote."
Tilton confessed to Groton Town Police that he had assaulted his first victim when she was 6 months old, and investigators obtained 35 videos and 66 images of that abuse over the course of several years. The abuse only ended when Tilton was arrested, prosecutors said.
Investigators found more than 8,000 videos and photos of infants and toddlers being sexually abused in Tilton's possession.

On-duty police officer sexually assaulted by gas station manager, Georgia cops say
Mitchell Willetts
Mon, May 17, 2021, 9:06 PM

The manager of a Georgia gas station is accused of sexually assaulting a police officer who was on duty and in uniform.
According to the Hogansville Police Department, Prilesh Navinchandra Thakkar “attempted to forcefully commit an indecent act on an on duty female police officer.”
The officer was conducting a business check on May 11 at the Hop In service station along state Highway 54 when the 300-pound manager grabbed her and pulled her behind the counter, WAGA reported.
She was able to get away from Thakkar and immediately reported what happened.
Police believe that “due to the boldness” of Thakkar’s attack, it’s not the first time he’s done something like it.
“To have attempted this act on a uniformed police officer ... there may be other victims of similar attacks,” police said.
Police are asking any victims to come forward to investigators and contact detective Marcus Rakestraw with the Hogansville Police Department at 706-637-6648.
The Troup County Sheriff’s Department assisted HPD in the investigation, and handled initial interviews in the case, according to a release. Thakkar was arrested the day of the attack and booked into the Troup County Jail.
He has been charged with sexual battery, and obstruction.

Yes, Donald Trump is in very *real* legal jeopardy
Analysis by Chris Cillizza, CNN Editor-at-large



Updated 11:35 AM ET, Mon February 22, 2021
(CNN)The Supreme Court's rejection of Donald Trump's attempts to keep his tax returns out of the hands of Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance is a potent reminder of this fact: The former President is in real legal jeopardy -- on a number of fronts.


In the narrowest aperture what the court's ruling means is that Vance -- and the grand jury he has empaneled to look into hush money payments made in the run-up to the 2016 election to two women alleging affairs with Trump -- will get a look at Trump's most carefully guarded secret: His financial documents.
Which is a blow for Trump -- especially given a) how hard he fought the release of these documents, which include years of tax returns, to Vance and b) what we already know about Trump's involvement in the hush money scheme.In federal search warrant documents released in July 2019, Trump is named for his involvement in the hush money payments. As CNN's Kara Scannell and Marshall Cohen wrote at the time:"The documents are the first time that the US authorities have identified Trump by name and allege his involvement at key steps in the campaign finance scheme. Authorities had previously referred to Trump in court filings as 'Individual 1,' the person who directed [Michael] Cohen to make the payments. Trump has publicly denied making the payments. Cohen pleaded guilty to two campaign finance crimes, among others, and is serving a three year prison sentence."


Cohen, who served as Trump's personal lawyer and fixer for years before turning on him, testified under oath in front of Congress in February 2019 that Trump had personally instructed him to pay Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal for their silence and that there was "no doubt in his mind" that the candidate knew what he was doing.
We know very few details -- beyond that he is looking into the hush money payments -- about Vance's investigation. "The work continues," Vance tweeted cryptically after the Supreme Court announces its decision Monday on Trump's tax returns.But what we do know is that the Manhattan District Attorney investigation is far from the only legal matter in which Trump currently finds himself entangled. Consider:
1. The New York attorney general's office is looking into how the Trump organization valued its assets.
2. Defamation lawsuits from E. Jean Carroll and Summer Zervos.
3. A fraud lawsuit filed by Trump niece Mary Trump.
4. A possible charge of incitement by the DC attorney general for Trump's role in the January 6 riot at the US Capitol.
5. Two investigations into Trump's attempts to pressure Georgia elected officials to overturn the state's election results.
And what we also know is that the freedom from prosecution afforded to a sitting president doesn't hold for a former president. Nor is dealing with all of these various lawsuits cheap. Nor does Trump have unlimited resources at his disposal. (In fact, his financial concerns may be even more pressing than his legal ones.)
Trump, of course, is also not unfamiliar with drawn-out court fights. He's often bragged about his ability to use the legal system to his advantage, in fact.
"Does anyone know more about litigation than Trump?" Trump said of himself on the campaign trail in 2016. "I'm like a Ph.D. in litigation."The question going forward, however, is whether Trump's old legal tactics -- delay, delay, delay and hope the other side loses interest or runs out of money -- will work against the considerable number of foes aligned against him.
After all, Trump's no longer just some rich guy. He's the former president of the United States. Which puts a MUCH larger legal target on his back.

Woman Swallowed By Python As She Checked On Her Cornfield.

A woman in Indonesia was swallowed whole by a python as she checked on her cornfields last week. According to The Washington Post, citing the Jakarta Post, the woman's name was Wa Tiba and lived on Muna Island off the coast of Sulawesi. She left her home Thursday night to visit her cornfield about a half mile from her home. 
Reticulated pythons are common in the area, but it was actually wild boars that Wa had been worried about initially because they'd be destroying her crops, according to the Jakarta Post's report.
 When Wa didn't return, her sister went out to find her and found Wa's footprints, flashlight, slippers, and machete. On Friday, 100 villagers from Persiapan Lawela searched the area and found a 23 foot-long snake with a very swollen belly. The villagers killed the snake, cut it open, and found Wa inside intact. She probably didn't die inside the snake: A reticulated python secures its prey with a bite, then wraps its body around the victim, squeezing down until the victim cannot breathe, before consuming, according to the Associated Press.
Pythons are the longest snake in the world and usually only eat smaller mammals. However, a similar incident happened last year to a farmer from the nearby village of Salubiro on Sulawesi Island, according to The Washington Post.

28 years' jail, maximum caning for man who raped daughter for 7.5 years
Wan Ting Koh
·Senior Reporter
Mon, April 26, 2021, 3:01 AM

SINGAPORE — A man who raped his daughter for about seven-and-a-half years was jailed for 28 years and sentenced to 24 strokes of the cane on Monday (26 April).  The 44-year-old Singapore permanent resident had also molested his daughter's best friend when he came by to hang out with her.  By his own count, the man had raped his daughter, now 13, between 10 and 20 times, and forced her to perform oral sex on him even more times. Both man and daughter cannot be named to protect the victim's identity.  Sentencing the man from the European Union, Justice Mavis Chionh noted four aggravating factors to his offense: the vulnerability of the young victim, the man's abuse of his position of authority and trust, the premeditation and grooming of the victim, and that the sex acts were unprotected.  "I should add that the tenderness of the victim’s years and the pathos of her vulnerability are obvious from the (statement of facts). At the start ...she was a young girl afraid of showering alone. At the tail end, she was by all accounts still a young girl afraid to return to her room to sleep because she found the sounds of her room fan weird. "The greatest tragedy in this case is that she (was) robbed of her childhood innocence by her own father." She noted that the prosecution told the court that even today, the daughter continues to write letters to her father to tell him that she loves him.  "This is the other great tragedy in this case that the victim (was) preyed upon by the person meant to protect her," she added .  As for the mitigation, Justice Chionh took into account the man's plea of guilt, which spared the victim the trauma of having to testify in court. She did not assign mitigating weight to the man being diagnosed with pedophilic disorder or that he had no criminal history, given the lengthy period he had been abusing his daughter. His offenses were committed from 2011 to 2019. The man earlier pleaded guilty to three charges of statutory rape of his daughter when she was between nine and 11 years old. Another 19 charges of a similar nature, such as sexually assaulting his daughter, showing her pornography and molesting her friend, were taken into consideration for sentencing. His wife has since divorced him.  The man worked as a product manager in Singapore and stayed in a condominium with his wife, their daughter and her baby brother. The couple, who were married overseas, moved to Singapore in 2008. The man first sexually assaulted his daughter when she was between three and seven years old. After watching a television programme about people drowning while swimming, the girl became afraid of showering alone and took a shower with her father. At that point, the man developed a “sexual desire” to touch the girl. He realised then that he was a pedophile and there was “no turning back”. He continued abusing her for the next seven-and-a-half years, with the sexual assaults increasing in frequency after the family moved houses. He knew that the girl did not like the incidents as she would keep her face turned to the side when they happened, to avoid looking at him. He would go into the girl’s bedroom or ask her to enter his bedroom, before locking the door and raping or sexually assaulting her. When the girl expressed reluctance, he would say it would only take a few minutes. The girl often felt she could not protest further as the man was her father, whom she should listen to. At times, the man would show her pornographic material from his phone or laptop. One of these was a child having sex with her father. He also molested his daughter’s best friend when the girl went over to play and watch movies. This girl stayed in the same condominium, and her parents regarded the man and his wife as “close friends”. He kissed this girl on the lips and told her to keep it a secret. Once, as the man, his daughter and her best friend watched a movie in the master bedroom, the man molested both girls at the same time while lying between them. Eventually, this girl stopped going to the daughter’s house. The police eventually learned of the sexual assault after the second victim made a police report about the man’s inappropriate behavior. In June 2019, as the girl's best friend was preparing to undergo her first communion in her home country, she was asked to confess her sins and revealed the man's offenses. She made a police report upon returning to Singapore. The man was then arrested.  When settling the man's affairs, his wife came across child erotica stories in his email inbox. The man had downloaded and sent these to himself.

A North Carolina city council fired a man for 'white privilege and entitlement' after he refused to address a Black woman by her professional title

The city council in Greensboro, North Carolina, fired a volunteer who worked as the city's zoning commissioner after he repeatedly refused a Black woman's calls to address her by her professional title during a Zoom meeting. 

The council in a unanimous vote on Tuesday decided to remove Tony Collins, a construction contractor, from the zoning commission after he during a virtual meeting refused to address Carrie Rosario, a UNC-Greensboro professor with a doctorate in public health, as "Dr. Rosario," The Greensboro News & Record reported.


 According to the report, during an April 19 meeting, Collins, who is white, entered a tense exchange with Rosario over the way he addressed her during the virtual meeting. 
According to the report, the interaction occurred toward the end of the meeting when Rosario raised concerns about a proposed development project near her home. Collins told her that the discussion was off-topic and referred to her as "Mrs. Rosario." 
"It's Dr. Rosario, thank you, sir," Rosario said.
"If Mrs. Rosario has something," Collins responded.
"Dr. Rosario," she repeated.
"Well, you know, I'm sorry," Collins said. "Your name says on here 'Carrie Rosario.' Hey Carrie."
"It's Dr. Rosario," Rosario repeated. "I wouldn't call you Tony, so please, sir, call me as I would like to be called."
Collins dismissed Rosario, and said it "didn't matter." 
"It matters to me," she said. "And out of respect, I would like you to call me by the name that I'm asking you to call me by."
But Collins continued to push back.

Rosario told McClatchy News that she had previously corrected another council member during the call, who apologized and corrected himself. She said she viewed Collins' repeated refusal to call by her title "a personal attack of disrespect."
In the council meeting Tuesday, Councilwoman Sharon Hightower said that Collins was exhibiting "white privilege and entitlement" during the exchange, according to the Rhino Times. Hightower made the motion at the Tuesday meeting to remove Collins from his position on the zoning commission.
"It is not going to be tolerated," she told McClatchy News. "As a Black female, I am not going to see another Black female treated in this manner."
The Rhino Times reported that Collins apologized Thursday in an email to the members of the Greensboro City Council.
"I understand from published reports that you voted Tuesday evening to remove me from the Greensboro Zoning Commission because of my behavior at the Zoning Commission meeting Monday evening," Collins wrote. "I agree with you that my exchange with Dr. Rosario was out of line and accept your judgment to remove me from the commission. I have telephoned Dr. Rosario and left a message apologizing for my behavior." 
"There is no good excuse for my interaction with Dr. Rosario so I will not try to offer one," he added. "Citizens deserve better."

Florida family accused of selling thousands of bottles of bleach marketed as Covid cure

A Florida man and his three sons were accused in federal court of selling tens of thousands of bottles of bleach that were marketed as a "miracle cure" for the coronavirus and other illnesses, authorities said.

The man, Mark Grenon, and his sons, Jonathan, Jordan and Joseph Grenon, were accused of fraud and violating civil court orders instructing them to stop selling the fake cure, which they promoted as "Miracle Mineral Solution," or MMS, according to documents filed Friday in Florida's southern district.
The Food and Drug Administration has warned people not to ingest the potentially deadly chlorine dioxide solution, which is typically used for industrial water treatment.
Court documents filed in the civil case allege that on a podcast released last year, co-host Mark Grenon referred to the 2nd Amendment and threatened a federal judge over a court order halting the sale of MMS, saying she was committing "treason."
"Do they want a Waco?" he is alleged to have said, referring to the 1993 siege in Texas that left 76 people dead.
According to court documents, the family manufactured the solution in a backyard shed in Bradenton, about 45 miles south of Tampa. Through what the documents describe as an "avowedly" nonreligious church called Genesis II Church of Health and Healing, the solution was marketed and sold as a cure-all for cancer, autism, diabetes and other disorders and diseases, according to the documents.
The documents say the family had a massive jump in revenue — from an average of $32,000 a month to $123,000 — after they began marketing the solution as a Covid-19 cure in March 2020.
The family has sold more than 28,000 bottles, earning more than $1 million, the documents say.

During a raid on the Bradenton property, authorities discovered dozens of chemical drums, 10,000 pounds of sodium nitrate and thousands of bottles of the solution, the U.S. attorney's office for southern Florida said in a news release.
Two of the sons — Jonathan and Jordan Grenon — were arrested and are scheduled to be arraigned Monday, the release says.
Mark and Joseph Grenon are in Colombia, the release says. It doesn't provide additional details about their location, and a spokeswoman didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.
It isn't clear whether the family has attorneys. Court records don't list one, and a message sent to Genesis seeking comment wasn't immediately returned.

Woman kills man and his dog in hit-and-run while fleeing from another hit-and-run only moments before: Police

A woman has been arrested after allegedly running over and killing a man and his dog while they were out for a walk in a hit-and-run incident while fleeing at a high speed from another hit-and-run incident she had reportedly committed only moments earlier.
The incident occurred on the evening of Sunday, April 25, shortly before 8 p.m. in Sandy Springs, Georgia -- a suburb north of Atlanta -- when police responded to a hit-and-run incident involving a pedestrian, later named as 25-year-old Michael Farmer of Sandy Springs and his dog, a Catahoula named Bruce.

An initial police investigation found that Farmer and his dog were walking on Hammond Drive near Glenridge Drive in Sandy Springs when a white sedan traveling eastbound at a high rate of speed struck the victim and fled the scene, according to a statement from the Sandy Springs Police Department.
Farmer and his dog both died in the accident as a result of the injuries suffered in the collision.
However, during the course of the investigation, Sandy Springs Police Traffic Investigators found that the exact same vehicle had been involved in another hit-and-run incident with a vehicle only minutes before striking Farmer and his dog.


“Sandy Springs Police Traffic Investigators learned that minutes prior to this deadly incident, the same hit-and-run vehicle had been involved in an additional hit-and-run crash with another vehicle while in the area of Roswell Road and I-285,” Sandy Springs Police Department said in a statement on social media. “The suspect was fleeing the first incident at a high-rate of speed when it struck the pedestrian and his dog; causing fatal injuries to both.”
Through their investigation, Sandy Springs Police Department was able to identify the vehicle as a 2020 white Chevy Malibu with Florida tags and, with the help of the Coweta County Sheriff’s Office, they were able to find the vehicle and the owner, 38-year-old Dominque Houston of Newnan, Georgia -- about 50 miles south of Sandy Springs -- before placing her under arrest.

Houston was then taken into custody, interviewed by authorities and subsequently charged with vehicular homicide in the first degree, reckless driving, two counts of hit and run, and one count of following too closely.
Houston has now been booked into the Fulton County Jail on the above charges and is awaiting prosecution.

Parents arrested after young children found locked in dog cage, living in squalor

MORGAN WINSOR,Good Morning America
A mother and father were arrested in north Texas on Tuesday after four young children were found living in squalor in a barn without food or water, authorities said. Deputies from the Wise County Sheriff's Office were dispatched to a rural property near Newark, Texas, after receiving a domestic disturbance call on Tuesday morning around 7:20 a.m. local time. The deputies met with two adults on the premises, Andrew Fabila and Paige Harkings, both 24, and noticed "numerous lacerations" on Fabila's face, according to a press release from the sheriff's office.

While talking with the two adults, deputies heard children inside the barn house. They went inside to find a 5-year-old, a 4-year-old, a 3-year-old and a 1-year-old. The two youngest children were mostly unclothed and lying on a blanket in the barn, while the two eldest were locked inside a dog kennel, according to the sheriff's office.
The responding deputies described the children as malnourished and covered in feces, Chief Deputy Craig Johnson told ABC News.
There was food in the barn, but it was locked away and inaccessible to the children. Deputies gave food and water to the children, who were examined on scene by medics and then transported to Cook Children’s Medical Center in Fort Worth for further examination, according to the sheriff's office.

Harkings, who is the biological mother of all four children, was arrested on four counts of child endangerment and one count of aggravated assault. Fabila, who is the biological father of only one of the children, was taken to Wise Regional Health System in Decatur where he was treated and released, then subsequently booked into the Wise County Jail on four counts of child endangerment, according to the sheriff's office.
The mother and father were arraigned in court Wednesday. A judge set Fabila's bond at $60,000 and Harkings' bond at $75,000, according to the sheriff's office.
