[PATCH] A Rutgers lecturer living in Brooklyn was taken to a Manhattan psychiatric hospital after the Rutgers University Police Department tipped off the New York Police Department about an inflammatory tweet he sent.
Kevin Allred, who is white, was taken to Bellevue Hospital in Manhattan by the NYPD for a psychiatric evaluation on Tuesday after his Nov. 10 tweet, which said: "Will the 2nd amendment be as cool when I buy a gun and start shooting at random white people or no...?" Apparently if you're a Dem you're an honorary Person of Color® as long as you check your privilege at the door.
"We were informed by Rutgers PD that he made threats to kill white people and he was subsequently taken to Bellevue Hospital for evaluation," an NYPD spokesperson told Patch. He was not incarcerated Yez got nuttin' on me, coppers! Nuttin'! or charged with a crime.
"The Rutgers University Police Department responded to a complaint from a student and took all appropriate action. We have no further comment," E.J. Miranda, a spokesperson for the university, told Patch in a statement.
"Rutgers police contacted the 94 Precinct and requested a wellness check be conducted on the professor based on comments he made in the classroom and on Twitter about killing white people," Kellyann Ort, with the NYPD, told Patch. "Based on these comments he was transported to Bellevue Hospital for psychological evaluation."

Two possibilities.The student who filed the complaint felt unsafe Campuses have been turned upside down for less.
The student had read his Alinsky.

Wellness check? Psychological evaluation? Sounds like a whole lotta fun but how about just throwing him in jail for making threats to kill people? Isn't that against the law?

Gently reminded to keep his opinion to the faculty wine dive. Playing rummy with his cards turned around, and all that.
This guy, real piece of work. Well done, Rutgers. More tattoos than a scots festival and a head full of Kim Jung.

[All Africa] Tens of thousands of children in religious schools across Senegal ... a nation of about 14 million on the west coast of Africa bordering Mauretania to the north, Mali to the east, and a pair of Guineas to the south, one of them Bissau. It is 90 percent Mohammedan and has more than 80 political parties. Its primary purpose seems to be absorbing refugees... are forced to beg in the streets to make money for their teachers, activists say
Dressed in ill-fitting football kits and covered in dust and dirt, dozens of young boys chatter, laugh and chase a ball as Maimouna Balde leafs through a list of names.
When a scuffle breaks out between two boys, Balde instantly steps between the former child beggars in the yard of the shelter for abandoned children in Senegal's capital, Dakar.
"It is tough here - many of the boys have been beaten by their teachers and forced to live on the streets," the head of the Ginddi centre told the Thomson Rooters Foundation, reading a file listing boys as young as five and notes on various abuses.
Many of these children, known as talibe, are sent by parents in Senegal or trafficked from neighbouring countries such as Guinea-Bissau to Islamic schools, called daaras, where they are expected to receive food, shelter and teachings from the Koran.
But tens of thousands of children in daaras across the West African nation are forced to beg in the streets to make money for their teachers, called marabouts, said rights groups such as Human Rights Watch ... During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, HRW received a pledge from the Foundation to Promote Open Society, of which George Soros is Chairman, for general support totaling $100,000,000. The grant is being paid in installments of $10,000,000 over ten years.Through June 30, 2013, HRW had received $30,000,000 towards the fulfillment of the pledge.... (HRW) and Anti-Slavery International (ASI).[nL8N15X4NN]
These influential Islamic figures, respected and even feared by communities and politicians, punish their pupils if they fail to bring in some 2,000 CFA francs ($3) per day, activists said.
Alongside a drive to take the talibe off the streets, the state is considering a law to regulate daaras - seeking to raise teaching standards and eliminate trafficking and forced begging.
Yet activists are concerned that the clout of marabouts may hold back efforts to protect children in the Koranic schools as Senegal wrestles with its identity amid a rising tide of Islamist militancy in the region.
Many people in the Moslem-majority but staunchly secular West African nation are asserting their cultural and religious identity over Western values in response to growing anti-Islam sentiment in Europe and elsewhere, said Sarah Mathewson of ASI.
"This extends to marabouts feeling excluded from Senegal's education system, which operates in French," she said. "They must be integrated and supported if things are to improve."

[BREITBART] A British tourist allegedly raped by two men in Dubai is facing jail after authorities accused her sex outside of marriage.
The 25-year-old woman told police she was attacked by the men while she was on holiday in the United Arab Emirates in October, but officers charged her with extra-marital sex.
She is currently on bail and not allowed the leave the Middle Eastern country, however the two men involved ‐ who are also British ‐ have allowed to return home to Birmingham.
The woman now needs £24,000 for legal fees and could face a long period in jail for breaking the country’s strict laws against sex outside of marriage.
The two alleged attackers even filmed themselves raping her, the victim’s family have claimed, but were still allowed to travel back to Britannia just hours later.
A family friend told The Sun: "They have taken her passport as lawyers thrash it out. She is staying with an English family but she is absolutely terrified.
"She went to the police as the victim of one of the worst ordeals imaginable but she is being treated as the criminal."

It seems to me that a responsible British government would have something to say or do about this. My knee jerk reaction would be to prohibit all travel to or from Dubai.

[CNN] Russia says it will withdraw from the International Criminal Court (ICC) under a directive signed by President Vladimir Putin ...Second and fourth President and sixth of the Russian Federation and the first to remain sober. Putin is credited with bringing political stability and re-establishing something like the rule of law, which occasionally results in somebody dropping dead from polonium poisoning. Under Putin, a new group of business magnates controlling significant swathes of Russia's economy has emerged, all of whom have close personal ties to Putin. The old bunch, without close personal ties to Putin, are in jail or in exile or dead... .
The Russian Foreign Ministry said the ICC had "failed to meet the expectations to become a truly independent, authoritative international tribunal," in a statement released Wednesday.
It described the ICC as "ineffective," adding that "during the 14 years of the court's work it passed only four sentences having spent over a billion dollars."
Russia also criticized the court's handling of the country's five-day conflict with neighboring Georgia in 2008, saying "we can hardly trust the ICC in such a situation."
ICC front man Fadi El Abdallah said in a statement that "membership of the Rome Statute is a voluntary and sovereign decision which is the prerogative of all states," adding "the ICC is respectful of each states' illusory sovereignty."

[FREEBEACON] North Korean ministers have made a state request to officials in China begging them to stop referring to their "glorious leader" Kim Pudge Jong-un ...the overweight, pouty-looking hereditary potentate of North Korea. Pudge appears to believe in his own divinity, but has yet to produce any loaves and fishes, so his subjects remain malnourished... as fat, according to the Sun.
The officials in the North Korean government reportedly asked China to stop referring to their overweight leader as Jin San Pang, or "Kim Fatty III," in media or conversations.
Other nicknames used by China’s media for the "glorious leader" include Jin Pang Pang (Kim Fat Fatty) and Jin San Fei (Kim Abundant III).
The Apple Daily, a Hong Kong-based tabloid-style newspaper, has reported that officials in Pyongyang have pressed old friends for quick action. North Korean ministers fear heads will roll if Kim Fatty III finds out about his unflattering nicknames.
It has been widely cited that the plump leader’s extravagant taste is largely to blame for his weight, gaining 88 pounds in his five years in power from feasting on Swiss cheese, whiskey, and scallops.

BLUF: [LI] Perhaps sensing that the country may be heading in a new, anti-globalist direction, Ford shifted the production of a line of trucks from Mexico to Ohio in mid-2015!
Ford’s [F-650 and F-750 medium-duty commercial] trucks which used to be built in Mexico started rolling off an assembly line in Ohio this week.
That’s good news for the 1,000 Ford workers in Ohio, who might have otherwise been out of work.
It’s also good publicity for Ford (F), which has been under fire for investing so much in Mexico. In April, the automaker said it would invest $2.5 billion in transmission plants in the Mexican states of Chihuahua and Guanajuato, creating about 3,800 jobs there.
#2
After the Arab oil embargo and Americans went big time to Japanese small fuel efficient quality assembled cars the UAW et al applied political pressure to put caps on imports. The Japanese voluntarily put caps on, but started building plants in the US, just in case. Just as likely today to buy a 'Japanese' car made in American as an 'American' car made in Mexico or Canada.
#3
Now that Obean is leaving, I wonder if we'll see that Ford commercial where the buyer said he wouldn't buy a vehicle from one of the 'Bail Out' companies?
#6
I have only purchased made in America cars since 1962! I unfortunately had to stop purchasing GM because the transmissions on my last three GM products (Van, Pontiac and Buick)expired at 150,000 miles. I admit that this happened between 1985 and 2008 but I just cannot go back to GM unless they give a 200,000 mile warranty on their transmissions.

200,000 miles or their next bailout, which ever comes first (as pre-bailout buyers found out).
[AnNahar] The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... is seeking to recruit more than 30,000 new personnel to fill shortfalls after thousands were kicked out of the army in the wake of the failed July coup, state media reported Wednesday.
Tens of thousands of people have been either detained or sacked in the wake of the July 15 putsch blamed by the government on rogue elements in the army led by Moslem preacher Fethullah Gulen ... a Turkish preacher living in Pennsylvania whom the current govt of Turkey considers responsible for all the ills afflicting Turkey and possibly the entire world... Around 9,300 army personnel have been placed in durance vile Keep yer hands where we can see 'em, if yez please! , including 118 generals and admirals, while thousands more have been discharged dishonourably or suspended.
But the dismissals came with the army facing challenges on all sides, fighting a conflict to destroy Kurdish faceless myrmidons in the southeast and also waging a cross-border operation inside Syria.
The state-run Anadolu news agency said the armed forces are aiming to recruit 30,159 personnel in order to meet needs in the aftermath of the post-coup dismissals.
This would include 1,322 officers, 3,547 non-commissoned officers, 7,159 trained soldiers, and 11,907 contracted soldiers, according to the news report.
The Turkish authorities have repeatedly insisted that the purge in the army after the coup has not affected its operations, pointing to the launch of the Syria incursion just over a month after the failed putsch.
But analysts have said that the effect on the military has been severe, with a shortage of pilots particularly acute.
Prime Minister Binali Yildirim said in an interview in August that Turkey was in need of military pilots and this is "not something that can be done in a day".

Please tell me this is just a rumor - Mitt spent half the campaign trashing Trump, and this is how he gets repaid? It's gotta be bullshit, like half / most of the other stories we've seen this week about the transition and Trump's steak dinner.
Former Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney will meet with Donald Trump this weekend to discuss the secretary of state position, a source close to the president-elect with direct knowledge of his thinking told NBC News.
In March, the former Massachusetts governor called Trump "a phony" and "a fraud" when discussing the then-candidate. Trump has called Romney a loser and has said he "choked like a dog" during his 2012 presidential campaign against President Barack Obama.
Trump endorsed Romney during his presidential bid four years ago.
This story is developing. Please check back for further updates.

Great, just as funny/stupid as Lurch but without the Ketchup and late boat tax jokes.
Funny you mentioned that - four years ago, I was at a tax seminar when Mass. Dept. of Revenue guys showed up to talk about state tax issues. Before they started, they took questions, so I dropped this one on them: "Did John Kerry pay sales tax on his yacht yet?"
DOR hack - 'Uh, we can't comment on individual tax matters'. It was fun to watch him squirm for a few seconds.

The thing is, whatever Mr. Romney sets himself to do, he will do no less than his very best. That said, I vote for baseless speculation or trolling.
#11
I see this as Trump acting presidential and magnanimous. Romney seems a decent guy and competent administrator. Sure, we'd all like Attila the Hun, but the fact that Romney's name is in the mix makes Trump look normal and makes protests against him look even sillier.
As for Cynthia McKinney, I'd float a rumor about considering her for Sec. of Education.
[Breitbart] The Milwaukee Bucks, Memphis Grizzlies, and Dallas Mavericks refuse to stay at any of the hotels owned or licensed by Donald J. Trump.
The boycott by the three NBA team’s sends a clear message that the franchise ownerships do not support the soon to be 45th president of the United States.
ESPN reports that Bucks co-owner Marc Lasry, whose daughter served on Rahm Emanuel’s congressional staff and son worked in the White House under Valerie Jarrett, and the Mavericks owner Mark Cuban both endorsed beleaguered Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton during the presidential campaign. Shark Tank creator Cuban said during the run-up to the election that there was "no bigger jagoff in the world" than Donald Trump and criticized the New York billionaire for failing to reveal his tax returns. Con't.

I used to watch back when the mailman still delivered. Now it is but an advertising medium who makes a king out of a dope-smoking high school dropout. Much of it has to do with the personality-forward soccerization and the rest has to do with the coverage; particularly the chink in the armor incident solidified my opinion of the bobbleheads.
[AnNahar] Pakistain has ordered the deportation of 130 teachers affiliated with the alleged criminal mastermind of an attempted coup in The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... , officials said Wednesday, as Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan ... Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him... was to arrive for a visit.
The teachers from the private PakTurk International Schools and Colleges, backed by U.S.-based Turkish preacher Fethullah Gulen ... a Turkish preacher living in Pennsylvania whom the current govt of Turkey considers responsible for all the ills afflicting Turkey and possibly the entire world... 's Hizmet group, will have to leave Pakistain along with other school staff and their families by November 20, school and government officials confirmed.
The decision -- hailed by Erdogan as "pleasing" -- affects up to 450 people in total and will be a blow to thousands of students in Pakistain, where government figures say a staggering 24 million children remain out of school.
The deportations "show how much importance Pakistain attaches to this effort", Erdogan told news hounds at the airport before departing for Islamabad Wednesday for a two-day visit.
He is scheduled to meet the country's top leadership, address a joint session of parliament and visit the cultural capital of Lahore.
Turkey accuses Gulen of ordering a failed coup in July, during which a rogue military faction tried to oust Erdogan from power. The country's justice minister has compared the holy man to slain al-Qaeda chief the late Osama bin Laden ... who used to be alive but now he's not... Gulen strongly denies the accusations.
Ankara has called for the U.S. to extradite him and expressed impatience as American authorities study the evidence provided by Turkey before arriving at a decision.
In a statement posted on the official PakTurk International Schools and Colleges website, the administration expressed deep concern over the "abrupt decision."
The statement said requests to extend visas for the teachers, school management and their families had been denied.
"We want to ensure the students and their parents that educational activities at all branches of PakTurk educational institutions across Pakistain are continuously operational," the statement said.
A PakTurk official in Islamabad told AFP the decision would affect around 10,000 students in 28 schools and colleges around the country.
The school management have already been replaced by local staff, the official said, speaking anonymously.
A senior government official in Islamabad confirmed the deportation of Turkish staff by November 20.
Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yildirim thanked "brotherly country Pakistain" for the decision.
Pakistain's foreign ministry said Erdogan will be accompanied by a high-level entourage, including ministers and bigwigs, as well as a large business delegation.

[AyPee] Iran's two top leaders -- its president and the country's supreme leader -- both sought Wednesday to calm concerns in Iran over the future of Tehran's nuclear deal with world powers in the wake of Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... 's election for U.S. president
President Hassan Rouhani said the country will remain committed and loyal to the deal, regardless of the outcome of the U.S. election.
Trump's much publicized criticism of the nuclear deal and his campaign vows to renegotiate the terms and increase enforcement of the deal that put off the threat of Tehran developing atomic weapons has sent jitters across Iran.
Without mentioning Trump by name, Rouhani said that "the world is not under the will of a single individual and party. The reality of the world will impose many things on myrmidons."
"Nobody should imagine it is possible to play with Iran," he added.
The deal, which went into effect in January, forced Iran to pull back from the brink of nuclear weapons capacity in exchange for an end to many of the U.S. and European sanctions that crippled Iran's economy. It has been largely respected despite undiminished U.S.-Iranian tensions throughout the Middle East, including their support for rival sides in Syria and Yemen's civil wars.
Trump's exact plans on the nuclear deal are vague, but any renegotiation would be difficult -- Iran has no incentive to reopen talks over a deal it is satisfied with. And none of the other countries in the seven-nation accord has expressed interest in picking apart an understanding that took more than a decade of stop-and-go diplomacy and almost two full years of negotiations to complete.
Iran's supreme leader, who has final say on all state matters in Iran, said in remarks on state TV that Iran was indifferent to Trump's election victory.
Iran and the U.S. have had no diplomatic relations since 1979.
