Soft-On-Crime, Soros-Backed DA Robbed in Car Raid.

Pamela Price, the George Soros-backed Alameda County District Attorney (DA), had her laptop stolen during a car burglary outside an Oakland family justice center on Friday. The Oakland Police Department (OPD) confirmed that “multiple individuals” broke into Price’s $90,000 SUV by smashing a window shortly after her bodyguard parked the vehicle outside the justice center. Several items were stolen in the raid. Price was then forced to wait roughly an hour for police to arrive before giving up and registering the incident online, reports suggest.

Price, who accepted a $130,000 donation from Soros in her failed attempt to become DA in 2018, promised to offer so-called “justice transformation” to her county’s residents before being elected DA in 2022.

She has since faced relentless criticism for her soft-on-crime policies, which have caused crime in her jurisdiction to skyrocket over recent months. In 2023, all violent crime has increased by 21 percent in Alameda County compared to last year, with motor vehicle theft increasing by 51 percent, burglary by 39 percent, armed robbery by 38 percent, and shootings by six percent.

Tensions between residents and Price reached breaking point during a community meeting earlier this year in which she was condemned for her “failed leadership” as well as “unwillingness to charge and prosecute people who murder and commit life threatening serious crimes.”

Price is the second Soros-backed DA to experience the effects of their own soft-on-crime policies after Louisiana District DA Jason Williams was carjacked earlier this month.

Maine Cops Alerted to Mass Shooter Threat Weeks Ago.

Maine state authorities were notified multiple times about red flags and “veiled threats” made by Robert Card more than one month before he allegedly murdered 18 people and injured over a dozen others in the deadliest mass shooting in the Pine Tree State’s history.

Two local law enforcement chiefs have admitted there was a “statewide awareness alert” as early as mid-September, which warned officers to keep an eye on Card after he, a former U.S. Army reservist, made a series of threats to his fellow soldiers and base.

“We added extra patrols, we did that for about two weeks… The guy never showed up,” said Saco police chief Jack Clements, and so the extra patrols were abandoned.

Joel Merry, Sagadahoc County Sheriff, explained he was not located during a wellness check and that he couldn’t recall whether anyone followed up, despite knowing of the threats and Card having been sent to a mental health facility for two weeks in July following concern over his increasingly erratic behavior and claims of “hearing voices and threats to shoot up” a military base.

The Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) also admitted that Card was not on their radar, and the agency’s background check system “was not provided with or in possession of any information that would have prohibited Card from a lawful firearm purchase.”

“He slipped through the cracks,” argued Indiana University law professor Jody Madeira.

Gunman Kills at Least 18 in Lewiston, Maine, Suspect Still at Large.

A gunman targeted a bowling alley and a local bar in Lewiston, Maine, leaving at least 18 dead as well as injuring around 50 more, some of whom were reportedly caught in a stampede. As of the time of publication, the gunman is still at large, with the “person of interest” in the shooting identified as 40-year-old Robert Card, a firearms instructor at a U.S. Army Reserve center who recently spent two weeks in a mental health facility.

The Lewiston Police Department declared certain areas off-limits during their active search for the shooter. Road closures included sections of Mollison Way, River Road, and Locust Street to South Avenue, although police confirmed residents will be allowed into the restricted River Road area. Schemengees Bar and Grill, one of the crime scenes, expressed shock and sadness over the killings in a heartfelt social media post, mourning the loss of community members.

All municipal buildings in Lewiston will remain closed today as authorities pursue the hunt for the gunman. A shelter-in-place order was issued in the aftermath of the shootings, and citizens who are non-emergency personnel have been advised to stay home. The lockdown extends to local schools as authorities continue their investigation.

UK Pedo Cop Groomed and Blackmailed 200+ Minors on Snapchat.

British police officer Lewis Edwards, 24, has been handed a so-called life sentence for grooming more than 200 girls online and persuading them to share explicit images – though he will be eligible for release in just 12 years.

Edwards, who provided a false identity as a 14-year-old boy on Snapchat, was serving with South Wales Police force as he was grooming his victims. They included girls he made contact with during his work hours, with one instance involving a girl he met during his official duties.

Edwards was found to have over 4,500 indecent images of children aged between 10 and 16, and to have issued threats to his victims, including exposing the images or endangering their families if they resisted his demands. He told victims to write ‘Snapgod’ on their bodies on multiple occasions, in reference to a child pornography distributor from whom he had purchased material using cryptocurrency.

Edwards pleaded guilty to 161 offenses, including blackmail and inciting a child to engage in sexual activity.

‘Don’t Help People’: DC Crime So Bad That Senate Sergeant Tells Congress Staff Not to Assist Broken Down Drivers.

Senate Sergeant at Arms Karen Gibson has sent a safety bulletin to Senate staff warning them, among other things, not to “stop to assist a stranger” on the road, amid a surge in carjacking in Democrat-run Washington D.C.

“Local authorities note an increase in carjacking incidents in and around Capitol Hill and the District of Columbia,” the bulletin explains, advising readers to “keep doors locked and windows up,” to avoid “driving alone, especially at night,” and to stick to center lanes.

Among other tips, the one most emphasizing the American capital’s descent into a low-trust, low-social cohesion zone urges: “Don’t stop to assist a stranger with a broken-down car; call the police from a safe location instead.”

Drivers are urged to behave as though they are perpetually in danger, using attended garages if possible, parking in well-lit areas, and remaining on the alert whenever exiting their vehicles.

Just weeks ago Democrat Representative Enrique ‘Henry’ Cuellar, who supported the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act, was carjacked outside a building that houses dozens of Congressmen. Republican Senator Katie Britt staffer Amanda Pepper was carjacked even more recently, by an attacker who leveled a gun at her face as she was walking to her office.

WATCH: Pro-Hamas Mob Blocks Street, Attacks Driver, Then Claim to be Victims.

Pro Hamas protesters in Minneapolis surrounded a car being driven by an elderly man during a “die-in” demonstration in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza. The protestors shut down a section of roadway, blocking traffic, and physically attacking vehicles that tried to push through the crowd. Video from the protest shows individuals carrying Palestinian and Hamas flags and dressed in black assaulting a vehicle driven by a terrorized and frightened man – who the protestors claim tried to run them over and shoot at them.

Additional arial footage of the exchange clearly shows the driver made no attempt to run over protestors, and instead was the target of violence and physical assault himself. At the very start, the driver appears to briefly exit his vehicle before a mob of protestors surge at him.

After the driver is able to re-enter his vehicle, protesters swarm around him and begin smashing his windshield and the passenger and driver side windows. The car then slowly inches forward as more protestors throw themselves on his vehicle and continue using objects and signs to smash at his windows. Finally after another vehicle moves to clear a path, the driver is able to move forward and accelerates once clear of the protestors and on open road.

Despite appearing to be clear of the protestors, the end of the street is blockaded by additional vehicles. The elderly driver is once again trapped and surrounded by protestors. It is at this point the video claiming the driver attempted to run over protestors originates. The video and claims made against the driver come from Zach Metzger, one of the protest organizers who is a radical, anti-police, far-left candidate for Minneapolis City Council.

After another series of attacks on the driver and his vehicle, the elderly man is able to turn his vehicle around and depart the chaotic seen down a city side street.

Maryland Circuit Court Judge Gunned Down in Driveway.

Maryland Circuit Court Judge Andrew Wilkinson has died after being gunned down in the driveway of his home in Hagerstown. The 52-year-old was transported to the Meritus Medical Center after the authorities discovered him around 8 p.m. last Thursday, where he succumbed to his injuries.

Law enforcement officers were initially dispatched to the homes of other judges in the Old Line State as investigators scrambled to find a motive for the attack. Since then, they have named 49-year-old Pedro Argote, who had a divorce hearing before Wilkinson on Thursday, as their main suspect.

Police are warning the public “to not approach [Argote] but to immediately notify law enforcement” if they think they see him. His nationality has not been disclosed.

“Drew was an exceptional lawyer and a man who loved his family,” a former law colleague said of the slain judge. “His wife and kids were always his highest priority and my thoughts go out to them at this horrible time,” he added.

Republican Staffer Robbed, Carjacked in D.C.

A staffer for Republican Senator Katie Britt was robbed and carjacked at gunpoint in Mayor Muriel Bowser‘s Washington D.C. earlier this week, according to the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD).

Amanda Pepper, a scheduler in Senator Britt’s office, told authorities that moments after she parked her car and began walking to her office, the suspect pointed a gun to her face and demanded she “give me your purse and keys” at around 8:30 pm on Thursday. The suspect then took her possessions and car before fleeing the scene.

Senator Britt’s office said in a statement following the incident, “It is infuriating and completely unacceptable that an American who is on Capitol Hill to serve her country cannot safely walk the streets of Washington, D.C. at 8:30 at night because of the out-of-control crime in this city.”

“Just look at the police department’s own numbers – this year, robberies are up 68% and motor vehicle thefts are up 102%. Local elected officials in the District of Columbia have the responsibility not just to their citizens, but to the country, to step up and get a hold of the crime crisis ravaging the streets of our nation’s capital,” the statement added.

This comes less than a month after Democratic Representative Enrique ‘Henry’ Cuellar was carjacked by three armed men in the U.S. Capitol. The city is expected to witness up to 1,000 carjackings by the end of this year, representing an over 100 percent increase in the offense compared to 2022.

Synagogue President, Ex Dem Staffer Stabbed To Death.

Samantha Woll, the president of a synagogue in Detroit, was found dead with multiple stab wounds outside of her home over the weekend, according to the city’s police force.

Detroit authorities said Woll’s body was discovered by a passerby around 6:30 on Saturday morning after a “trail of blood” led to the victim’s home in Lafayette Park. The police were, however, quick to caution against any speculation over the intentions of the murderer, who is yet to be identified. Chief of Detroit police, James White, urged the public to remain patient, adding that a full update will be given on Monday.

Woll, 40, presided over the Isaac Agree Downtown Synagogue and formerly worked as an aide to Democratic Representative Elissa Slotkin as well as a campaign staffer to Attorney General Dana Nessel.

She was described as a “passionate Muslim-Jewish bridge builder” and participated in founding the Muslim-Jewish Forum of Detroit. She also hosted events welcoming Syrian refugees to the city.

“We are shocked and saddened to learn of the unexpected death of Samantha Woll, our Board President,” the synagogue said in a statement following the news before adding: “At this point we do not have more information, but will share more when it becomes available.”

Hamas Sympathizers Stage ‘Insurrection’ Inside US Capitol, Assault Cops.

Protestors calling for Israel to accept the attacks from Hamas without response staged disruptive protests outside the U.S. Capitol and inside Congressional office buildings on Wednesday. U.S. Capitol Police appear to have made multiple arrests as protestors have refused to disperse from inside the Cannon House Office Building, with such behavior once labeled an “insurrection” by almost all left-leaning politicians and the corporate media.

According to the Capitol Police, protestors inside Congressional office buildings will be charged with illegally protesting inside a House Office Building. At least three have been arrested for assaulting police.

Hundreds of members of the pro-Palestinian group Jewish Voice for Peace took over the lobby of the Cannon House Office Building, staging a sit-in. Protestors were able to hang a black banner with the word “Ceasefire” painted on it from the second floor balcony of Cannon as police struggled to maintain control.

Outside, on the Capitol grounds, additional protestors were egged on by a handful of Members of Congress including Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI). Tlaib once again falsely claimed that the Israeli military was responsible for the explosion at a Gaza hospital that resulted in civilian casualties. The Israeli and U.S. governments have both concluded that the deadly blast was caused by Islamic Jihad rocket aimed at Israel that misfired and hit the hospital parking lot.

Tlaib also had strong words for President Joe Biden, warning her party’s leader that American Muslims won’t forget his decision to back Israel: “A lot of people are not gonna forget this… the fact of the matter is, our lives aren’t safe with you.”

Yesterday, the Senate Sergeant at Arms and the U.S. Capitol Police notified Congressional staffers that a “heightened security posture and an increased police presence will be in place Wednesday…”, noting that Capitol Square would be restricted to Members of Congress, staff, and those on official business. The alert also recommended that Members and staff use the underground tunnels that connect the Congressional office buildings with the U.S. Capitol.
