Nursing Home Employee Secretly Recorded Seniors Having S3x, Posted Video to Snapchat
A nursing home employee in Florida is in police custody on Wednesday after detectives say she filmed two senior residents having sex without their knowledge or consent and shared the video with her followers on Snapchat in August.

The victims, who haven’t been identified are an 81-year-old woman and a 59-year-old man.
Seems like he likes cougars.
Authorities have identified the suspect as another shortsighted idiot 20-year-old Alexis Williams, an employee at the Bristol Court Assisted Living Facility on 3479 54th Avenue North in unincorporated St. Petersburg.
I'm not sure if I should look into retiring there or not.
Detectives say Williams was working at the facility when she secretly recorded the victims having sex in a private room and later posted the video to Snapchat.

One of her followers saw the video and informed staff at the facility who contacted the authorities and terminated Williams.

Williams confessed her crimes on Wednesday when she was interviewed by Pinellas County detectives at her home in St. Pete.
"Are you a shortsighted idiot?"
"Why yes, I am."

She was arrested and charged with one count of video voyeurism and one count of video voyeurism dissemination and was released this evening on a $10,000 bond.
Lucky for her people can't be charged for being an idiot, too

Illegal Aliens Are Congregating in Sanctuary Cities City-States, Study Shows
[Breitbart] More than 10 percent of the illegal aliens living in the United States congregate in seven sanctuary cities.

New York City tops the list with 525,000 migrants living illegally in the sanctuary jurisdictions. The Daily Wire cites a February Pew Research Center report showing the Big Apple is followed by Los Angeles with 375,000, Chicago with 140,000, Denver with 55,000, and Boston and San Francisco with 35,000 each. These seven sanctuary cities account for more than 10 percent of the estimated 11 million illegal immigrants living in the U.S.

The mayors of these cities joined with dozens of other sanctuary city leaders this week for a "Cities Day of Immigration Action," Breitbart Texas’ Lana Shadwick reported. The mayors pledged a list of feel-good commitments stating they will:

-Short Attention Span Theater-
Sometimes you get the bull, sometimes the bull gets you
[SUN] Shocking footage has emerged showing a matador being gored by a bull -- and ending up with its horn up his backside.

Antonio Romero was horrifically gored during a bout with the furious beast in Mexico City on Monday.

The matador ended up with the bull’s horn some 11 inches up his rectum, causing "severe" injuries.

The stomach-churning clip shows Romero seemingly in control as he goads the animal with a red cloth, called a muleta. But something goes wrong as he tries to get the bull to pivot around him. The angry beast rears up, catching him on the arm and knocking him off balance.

As Romero stumbles back in an effort to avoid the bull’s deadly horns, the animal throws off the muleta and homes in on its helpless target. Now, with its tormentor in its sights, the bull takes its terrible revenge.
Usually at the end of a bullfight that ends in the typical way, the bull is killed and the ears and tails are presented to the matador as trophies. So I'm wondering: is the matador, in addition to sporting a colostomy bag, minus his ears this morning?

-Land of the Free
After Rockville Rape, School Superintendent Accuses Parents of Racism
[INSIDER.FOXNEWS] In the wake of a rape at Rockville High School in Maryland last week, Montgomery County Superintendent Dr. Jack Smith is accusing parents of "racism and xenophobia."

Two young men - at least one of whom is in the U.S. illegally - are accused of raping and sodomizing a 14-year-old girl in a school bathroom.

Tucker Carlson reported tonight on a series of troubling emails sent by Smith to parents in his district following what Smith has called "the incident."

He cited one Smith email, sent Thursday, that says some parents' reactions have "crossed the line."

Smith wrote that "racist, xenophobic calls and emails" will not be tolerated and will be reported to the police.
Do you know your place now, ladies?

#14  If the girl was 14 years old she is below the age of consent. Get it? Age of consent? That means she could not legally give her consent to have sex with someone who is 18 years or older and that means the sex rape could not legally be consensual. The judge, jury and prosecution are gonna laugh that one out of court.

Parents in that school district need to crowd into the next school board meeting and demand the superintendent's dismissal. If school board members are unwilling to comply the parents need to organize a recall. That type of action would taken organized and determined parents but it can be done.

#15  Unfortunately, the Romeo Defense may be applicable for the younger.
Posted by: al aSha-med || 03/24/2017 15:55 Comments || Top||

#16  @#15: Nope!:

Maryland does not have a close-in-age exemption.

Close in age exemptions, commonly known as "Romeo and Juliet laws", are put in place to prevent the prosecution of individuals who engage in consensual sexual activity when both participants are significantly close in age to each other, and one or both partners are below the age of consent.

Because there is no such "Romeo and Juliet law" in Maryland, it is possible for two individuals both under the age of 16 who willingly engage in intercourse to both be prosecuted for statutory rape, although this is rare. Similarly, no protections are reserved for sexual relations in which one participant is a 15 year old and the second is a 16 or 17 year old.

High School Tries Shaming Boy, Demanding He ‘Tolerate’ Undressing with Girls to ‘Make it Natural’
[BREITBART] A teenage boy and his parents have filed a lawsuit against a Pennsylvania high school saying that administrators tried to shame the boy for being "intolerant" and demanded that he undress with girls in the school locker room to "make it seem natural."

The lawsuit, filed by Alliance Defending Freedom and Independence Law Center (ILC), is alleging that the Boyertown Area School District in Boyertown, Pennsylvania, sexually harassed the plaintiff, CBS News reported.

"No school should rob any student of this legally protected personal privacy," said ILC attorney Randall Wenger. "We trust that our children won’t be forced into emotionally vulnerable situations like this when they are in the care of our schools because it’s a school’s duty to protect and respect the bodily privacy and dignity of all students."

"My client is standing up not only for himself but for others who feel bullied," Wenger added.

The student alleges that he became uncomfortable when a biologically female student claiming to be a transgender "boy" began undressing next to him in a school locker room.

The plaintiff and several other boys reported their feelings to the school’s assistant principal, but were verbally assaulted by the school official for being "intolerant."

"Dr. Foley [the assistant principal] told [the plaintiff] to ’tolerate’ it and to make it as ’natural’ as he possibly can," the lawsuit states.

"It’s an egregious violation for the school to just brush off these students and tell them that their feelings don’t matter and to make it ’as natural as they possibly can’," attorney Wenger insisted.

ILC also states that the school never brought any discussion on a transgender policy to either parents or the school board before allowing the transgender student into the boys’ locker room.

F'nBI: We Are Aware of Threats to Hawaii Federal Judge at Center of Travel Ban Suit
The U.S. Marshals Service is rowing has flown in about a dozen deputies from the mainland to provide 24-hour protection to the federal judge whose order blocked the president's travel ban from taking effect.

U.S. District Judge Derrick Watson has received death threats after he issued a ruling last week.

Meanwhile, the FBI is also aware of the threats and are prepared to assist the U.S. Marshals Service if needed.

The FBI would not comment further on how the threats were made.

The agency would also not provide details on what states the threats are coming out of. However, sources say, they are coming from the mainland.

Former federal agent Tommy Aiu said it's not unusual for additional deputies to be brought in to help the local U.S. Marshals office with protection needs.
No big deal. Happens all the time.
"The U.S. Marshals service will do a critical risk assessment, look at the threat, make an analysis, and determine the level of protection needed," he said.
We're sending over Ryan in an orange jumpsuit and armed with a slingshot.
Watson issued the order last Wednesday to temporarily block enforcement of the ban, just hours before it was to take effect. The ban would have frozen immigration from six predominantly Muslim countries for 90 days.

Watson's ruling thrust Hawaii into the center of a polarizing debate over immigration reform, which have spurred protests for and against the ban.

The U.S. Marshals Service refused to comment on security details so it's unknown how long the extra protection will continue.
Hopefully long enough to find a replacement for Ryan.

The Trump administration is encouraging the Israeli government to adapt some of its policies toward the Palestinians in preparation for a new round of peace talks.

Senior administration officials conducted four days of intensive talks with their Israeli counterparts focused on "concrete near-term measures to improve the overall climate in order to advance the prospects for a genuine and lasting peace," both governments said in a joint statement.

Trump's special representative for international negotiations, Jason Greenblatt, led the US delegation, following a visit to the region last week. Yoav Horowitz, the prime minister's chief of staff, as well as Ron Dermer, Israel's ambassador to the US, led discussions from the Israeli side.

"A principal focus of the discussions was specific measures that could have a meaningful impact on the economic environment in the West Bank and Gaza, allowing the Palestinians to more fully realize their economic potential," the White House said, noting Israel's embrace of the initiative.
