    Steve Stephens broadcasted the murder of a random civilian, and claims to have killed others. He is still wanted and in public. http://www.cleveland.com/metro/index.ssf/2017/04/man_accused_of_broadcasting_ea.html Very graphic video, I only post it to give you an idea of his MO. It involves death. https://twitter.com/NinoBrownskin_/status/853704554164219905 Edit: believe the video was removed. For your info, he stops his car in the middle of the street, walks up to the victim, pulls out his gun and murders him after making him say the name of his ex girlfriend. Mirrors of the video are available in the comments if you're interested, but I'd rather not include...

    Åsa Linderborg, the editor of Sweden’s Aftonbladet newspaper, contends that “Sweden’s economy would collapse without illegal immigrants. The influx of large contingents of these people creates extra demand for housing and welfare. This helps support the building trades and social workers, not to mention stimulating Swedes to work longer hours to pay the taxes needed to fund these benefits. Even the violence springing from these unassimilated new residents provides jobs for police, firemen, hospitals, morticians, and insurance adjusters.” The fact that few of these new immigrants have jobs—only 500 of 2015’s 160,000 immigrants are employed—was dismissed by Linderborg as irrelevant....

    BOSTON (WHDH) - After six days of deliberations, the jury in the double-murder trial of Aaron Hernandez found him not guilty for the 2012 murders of two men in Boston’s South End. The former New England Patriots tight end was on trial for the killings of Safiro Furtado and Daniel de Abreu after one of them accidentally spilled a drink on him at the Cure Lounge. Throughout the trial, his lawyers argued that it was Hernandez’s friend, Alexander Bradley, who shot the men in a drug deal while parked at a stop light.

    Right after Trump was elected on November 9, Evans tweeted, “This is an embarrassing night for America. We’ve let a hatemonger lead our great nation. We’ve let a bully set our course. I’m devastated.” This tweet didn’t sit well with some of his Twitter followers. Granted, it’s an easy thing to say as a privileged white male. Because there are plenty of people oppressed and victimized and in jeopardy at this stage.”

    As Guadalupe saw it, she had two choices: Flee her native El Salvador or stay and end up murdered by the same gangbangers who killed her husband. The 26-year-old widow left her home country in November, paying a “coyote” to facilitate the dangerous, 23-day journey north so she could sneak into the United States with her two young children. “I had no other choice, I felt I was risking my life and my children’s lives to continue staying there,” Guadalupe recently told The Post, too afraid to reveal her last name.

    Press Secretary Sean Spicer went on CNN to fight for his job after favorably comparing Adolf Hitler with Bashar al-Assad at today's White House briefing. Spicer had said unlike the Syrian strongman, the 1940s Nazi dictator 'didn't even sink to ... using chemical weapons,' leaving reporters in disbelief and causing some critics to call for his head. 'I apologize, it was a mistake to do that,' Spicer said to the network's Wolf Blitzer, whose own parents survived the Holocaust. Blitzer's paternal grandparents were killed by the Nazis at Auschwitz.

    Half of the 165,265 arrests made by federal law enforcement agents in fiscal 2014 were for immigration-tied offenses. Sixty-one percent of the arrests made by feds this same year involved “non-U.S. citizens,” according to a new Pew Research Center study. And the left says America doesn’t have a border problem? Let’s peak at the numbers a bit, shall we? This is Barack Obama’s legacy — a country filled with crime-committing illegals. The 50 percent of total federal arrests in 2014, the latest year for which the Justice Department stats were available, were due to illegal border crossings, or border smugglings....
