Im an old TV network newsie and thought I had seen some examples of liberal-slanted journalism, but this is the worst ever.
There is a huge story now going viral over the internet, courtesy of the far-left New York Daily News. Its about to start race riots, and it is completely false. It's probably all a combination of liberal hate and a sick attempt to sell more papers.
Jeff Schoep, head of a Detroit-based neo-Nazi group, told Riptide that some armed members of his organization are now READY TO patrol Sanford, Florida, scene of the Trevor Martin shooting. The story was picked up by the New York Daily News, but rather than saying the neo-Nazis were supposedly ready to patrol Sanford, the Daily News headline shouted that the neo-Nazis were already in Sanford, armed, ARE PATROLING and ready to protect the white people.
Now other media have picked up the story. Pictures of armed members of Schoeps National Socialist Members in the desert a few years ago suggest they were taken in Sanford tonight.
The reality is that the story is COMPLETELY BOGUS. Schoep is a publicity-seeking psychotic on par with Al Sharpton. I have just returned from Sanford where I spoke more than a dozen people. They know what is going on in town, and are all proven sources. These are people who were very instrumental when the Dem lawyer tried to get the military ballots thrown out in Bush v. Gore. They are solid.
There are no bands of armed neo-Nazis in Sanford. The story is complete BS.
This is the worst journalism I have ever seen.
First, this idiot Schoep bragged that he had a group of volunteers ready to patrol Sanford. (Schoep is in Detroit. Its a hell of a drive to Sanford for patrolling each night.) Schoep never claimed any of his volunteers were here. Even at that, no one ever thought to check out even one element of this buffoons claim. Schoep is known to be willing to say anything to get publicity... and would love to start a race war.
Then the Daily News reported the neo-Nazis ARE HERE, again with no attempt at confirmation. This is worse than the NBC edit of Zimmermans phone call to make him sound like a racist.
Then many other media pick up the story, again, with no attempt at confirmation.
In the old UPI City Room in Chicago, there was a prominent sigh that told all reporters: If Your Mother Says She Loves You . Check it Out! The idiots reporting this story as fact should have their word processors confiscated, their copy shredded, and their sheaves of pencils broken . over their pointy little heads.
If a race riot breaks out over this, this is ALL the Daily News fault. Its a far-left liberal rag and they will do anything to sell papers!
Looks like, from the comments, people are getting tired of being abused by liberalism’s diversity racism.
It’s a shame we have allowed socialists to continue to define and divide people by their race in the US. They have replaced America’s constitutional civics education with diversity hate which demands the “solution” to “white racism” is socialsm. They have targeted blacks with a self destructive gangster culture of violence and hate.
What a bunch of dangerous and inferior Marxist nonsense. And they refer to themselves as the “smart” people.
With 0bama being a white black, the neo-Nazis could very well look like his sons!
Just like most Chicago nights his sons are shooting each other.
A Jacksonville, North Carolina business owner is searching for answers following a vicious attack on his son almost two weeks ago inSeminole County,Fla.
Frank Slavin, the owner of Slavin Gallery inJacksonville, told The Daily News Friday that his son Mark Slavin, 50, has been in critical condition and on life support at Orlando Regional Medical Center since the attack on March 26.
It doesnt look good for him, it doesnt look good at all, he said.
Slavin said his son, a graduate of Lejeune High School, has massive injuries to his skull after receiving 13 blows to the head with a hammer. He said Mark, who is single and a salesman for a furniture company in Orlando,Fla., was so badly battered that he was unidentifiable.
According to an arrest report from the Seminole County Sheriffs Office, a man called 911 on March 26 to report hearing a man screaming for help. The caller said he saw two men pulling a third man from a vehicle and beating him with a hammer. The two dragged the man into nearby woods and continued to attack him, according to the report. The two fled the scene in the mans vehicle before deputies arrived.
Julius Bender, 18, and Yahaziel Israel, 19, both of Sanford, Fla., were charged on March 30 by the sheriffs office with attempted homicide, burglary with assault or battery and armed burglary in connection to the attack.
A tip received through the areas Crime Line led investigators to Bender andIsrael, according to the release. Bender was identified through witness identification, and Israelwas linked to the vehicle through forensic evidence.
Though the name of the man beaten has been redacted in the police report and is not provided in the media release, Kim Cannaday, the media spokeswoman for the sheriffs office, confirmed he is Mark Slavin.
Frank Slavin said he feels confident they have arrested the perpetrators, but he still has questions.
He noted that the attack took place within a few miles of and one month after an unarmed black teen, Trayvon Martin, was shot and killed by a Hispanic neighborhood watch captain, George Zimmerman, who was not charged in the shooting. The incident has increased racial tensions and sparked rallies nationwide.
Slavin wonders if the attack on his son is somehow related to the shooting.
Mark Slavin is white, and Bender andIsraelare black.
Id like to have it checked to see if it was a hate crime, he said.
He said he contacted the Federal Bureau of Investigations inCharlotteto look into the incident, but he said he was advised to get an attorney.
What do I need an attorney for? he asked.
He said he has also contacted local legislators to ask for help, including Congressman Walter Jones, R-N.C.; Sen. Richard Burr, R-N.C.; and Sen. Kay Hagan, D-N.C., to no avail.
The Seminole County Sheriffs Office says they do not believe the attack on Slavin is connected to Martins shooting.
While the investigation is ongoing and we cannot give details at this point, I can tell you investigators from the Seminole County Sheriffs Office do not believe that this attempted homicide had anything to do with the recent events that occurred here inSanford, Cannady said. We do not believe it was in retaliation or racially motivated.
She said they continue to investigate the relationship between Slavin and the two accused in his attack.
I think when the investigation is complete or at least closer to the end they will release why they arrived at this conclusion, she said.
Bender andIsraelare being held in the John E. Polk Correctional Facility without bond.
Frank Slavins wife, Melanie, and son Greg are currently inFloridawith Mark. Frank Slavin said he plans to join them as soon as he finishes up some work obligations and can close his business.
Slavin said the Seminole County Sheriffs Office has kept him informed since the beating.
They are exceptionally good they went out of their way he said, choking back tears. He has pets and they took care of them I couldnt believe with all the problems theyve got going right now they did such a good job on this.
He is, however, concerned that the witness will not testify.
He wont come forward again, he said.
Sheriffs spokeswoman Cannady said Bender and Israel have prior arrests, many of which are felonies, as juveniles in Seminole County.
Thanks for the update.
Curious they don't consider the cases related yet they're holding these guys in Polk County instead of in Seminole.
Never mind. I’ve never heard of the Seminole County Jail referred to as the Polk correctional facility
John Polk was sheriff of Seminole County since before there was dirt
