[BALTIMORESUN] For the third time in a month, 18-year-old Curtis Deal had been incarcerated Book 'im, Mahmoud! on gun or drug charges. Judge Nicole Taylor wanted to be sure the young man understood what was expected if she released him to wait for trial. "I'm gonna give you a second... uh... third... uh...fourteenth chance...
"You're not going out at night, you're not going to get food, you're not going to meet your girlfriend. You're in your house," Taylor told him, raising her voice. "I'm giving you an opportunity to go to school and not be in jail pending this trial. The curfew is 1 p.m., 7 days a week." Rrrr! Tough! Don't get too much tougher than that, do you?
Deal said he understood. Right.
Taylor wished him luck. "I trust you, now!"
The next day about 3 p.m., Deal was fatally shot by a Baltimore police officer after allegedly jumping out of a vehicle being tailed by officers and fleeing through the same neighborhood where he'd been arrested the week before. Police said an officer chasing Deal shot him after he saw Deal had a gun and feared for his own life. "Don't shoot!" he begged, just before the copper shot him full of holes. He had his hands up! He was pleadin' for his life! He was a good boy...!
The officer's body camera captured the shooting, police said. Ewps.
An aunt said Thursday the family was not prepared to make a statement. Deal's attorney also declined to comment Thursday. "Prob'y somebody else in the camera!"
Almost immediately after the shooting, the circumstances of Deal's release became a flashpoint in the growing debate in Baltimore around perceived leniency for repeat gun offenders in the court system. "That's really despicable, because it's putting our officers and our citizens in harm's way seeing these people continuously possess these firearms and walk these streets and want to inflict harm on people," said T.J. Smith, a police front man. "But he had his hands up! Youse can see it! Kinda!"
"It shows dysfunction, I believe, in our criminal justice system," said Mayor Catherine Pugh. "People who have those many gun charges probably should not be on our streets." "An' dat might not be a gun in his hand! It wuz prob'ly a bag o' Skittles!"
Maryland U.S. Attorney Rod Rosenstein said authorities need to "make sure people carrying guns in the community are held accountable." He said Deal's death was "tragic," but that the officer was "put in a situation maybe he shouldn't have been in." I'm not sure what was so tragic about it.
Smith, Pugh and Rosenstein all emphasized the context for their comments: a city reeling from gun violence, with more than a killing a day so far in 2017. But none of them spoke to the specific nature of Deal's arrests, the evidence against him, or the conditions of his release. Wipe the meal from your chins, guys. You're drooling.
The recording of Deal's 20-minute bail review hearing from the day before his death as well as court records from his two prior arrests provide a better understanding of those circumstances. A better understanding of how a formerly nice city came to be uninhabitable.
Deal, who turned 18 in November, was first arrested as an adult in the city just a month ago. Don't even ask about his juvie record. No doubt he was a nice boy, just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. The coppers prob'ly had it in for him, too.
On Jan. 4, he was charged with four handgun counts. According to court records, plainclothes officers were in an unmarked vehicle in the 1100 block of S. Carey Street that day when they observed Deal, whom they recognized, standing on a corner. Upon seeing the officers, Deal looked startled, "put his hands up in the air and shouted 'I'm leaving,'" police wrote. "Hands up! Don't shoot! I wuz just standin' here mindin' my own bidnid!"
As he did, an officer saw a bulge in his waistline, which the officer believed to be a gun, the records say. "Izzat a .380 in yer waistband or are ya happy to see me?"
One of the officers exited the vehicle and Deal ran, thus beginning an extended foot chase. See? Dey had it in for him!
Eventually Deal was caught. [TACKLE!]
"Ow! Police brutality!"
"Shuddup."
[CLICK!]
The officer chasing him said he'd heard Deal throw the gun in an alley and it was recovered, the records say. "Not my gun! Somebody left it dere!"
At the time, Deal was already prohibited from possessing a firearm after a previous juvenile arrest, the records say. "It wuz just for personal use!"
Deal was transported to the hospital because "he was complaining that he couldn't breathe," and later was charged. "I can't breathe! I can't breathe!"
"Yeah. That's what they all say!"
He posted $100,000 bail the next day and was released. "Can you take a personal check?"
"This is Baltimore. Of course we can!"
"Can you hold it until Thursday?"
On Jan. 30, Deal was arrested a second time -- again by plainclothes officers, again after an extended pursuit. [TACKLE!]
"Ow! Police brutality!"
"Shuddup."
[CLICK!]
According to court records, he'd been spotted approaching a vehicle, seeing officers, then taking off with a clenched fist, court records say. "What's that in his hand?"
"Prob'ly Skittles."
"Better chase him to make sure!"
"Boy, I really got it in for him!"
Deal allegedly tossed a bag of suspected heroin under a car before he was caught, court records say. He was released on his own recognizance the next day. "Okay. You can go. But don't do it again!"
"No, no, commissioner! Of course not!"
"Better spit out that mouthful of butter, kid. It don't seem to be melting!"
At Deal's bail review hearing Monday, Taylor began considering his third arrest, from last week, in which he was charged with nine new gun and drug counts. "Nine new gun and drug counts?"
Police alleged that Deal had been involved in a large-scale drug operation in several vacant homes in the 1900 block of Frederick Avenue, according to court records. Raiding the homes, officers netted a gun, ammunition, hundreds of gel caps of suspected heroin, and thousands of dollars in cash, records show. Deal had run from the location with a co-defendant in the case and both had been arrested, police said. Officers had pinned the entire haul on the pair. "Dat wudn't mine! Somebody left it here!"
In court, Taylor pressed prosecutors about the charges against Deal. She acknowledged drug transactions were occurring at the home, and that Deal and his co-defendant were in the area and had wanted to escape when police rushed in. But she noted a difference between Deal and the co-defendant. "They want to get out of that yard, and in the yard there's a lot of money, and on his co-defendant there's a lot of money and there's lots of gel caps. But on Mr. Deal there's no money, no drugs, no gun...?" Taylor asked. "They're both standing in the same tub of poop, but he don't have none in his mouth? Gotta give him benefit of the doubt!"
"How about the other guy, yer honor?"
"Listerine."
"He's an active participant in a large-scale sale of drugs," said Assistant State's Attorney David Chiu, arguing for the state. "This isn't someone who just happened to be there. This was a lengthy period of observation with multiple sales. Flight obviously is evidence of guilty knowledge." "I know you're a legal genius and everything, yer honor, but trust me on that!"
Chiu pointed out that Deal was already out on $100,000 bail from his previous gun case at the time of this arrest. "See? Here's his check, exhibit K!"
"Given the connection of violence and drugs and guns and the enormous amount of drugs that were being sold here, while he's out on bail for guns, the state thinks he poses a continuing and extreme risk to public safety," Chiu said. "Y'think?"
Taylor asked Deal's defense attorney, Jerome Bivens, what he thought. My guess would be racism.
"Judge, this was a lot of confusion, a whole lot of people, and this is the standard scenario: We see two black guys running, we're going to lock them up," Bivens said. Toldja so!
Bivens said Deal was in his last year at Digital Harbor High School. "He's still a schoolboy!"
His family attended church, "He might, too. Someday. Who knows?"
he played basketball. "Midnight basketball!"
"He tells me that his intention is to go into the Army and to study engineering," Bivens said. "And the U.S. Army would be ever so happy to get a guy like him!"
Taylor said she understood all the facts in the case weren't clear, but noted Deal's pending gun and drug charges. "And now here he is running allegedly from an area where there's lots of guns and drugs," Taylor said. "Just the wrong place at the wrong time, yer honor! Coulda happened to anybody!"
"Ain't never happened to me!"
Bivens declined to comment Thursday. A court spokeswoman did not respond to a request for comment from Taylor. "He's dead now. We should just move on..."
Deal -- who listed himself as jobless and indigent in court records -- had been released on a $250,000 unsecured bond, meaning he wouldn't have to put any money down but would theoretically have to pay the full amount if he didn't show up for court. "Can you take a personal check?"
"Yer sure it's good?"
"Can you hold it till Saturday?"
In addition to that and the curfew, Deal would have to check in with the court three times a week, and bring proof that he was attending classes, Taylor said. That worked well.
The next day, hours after his 1 p.m. curfew, Deal was back in the same block of Frederick Avenue where the drug bust had happened the week before, this time bleeding on the ground. And the rest is past tense.
Col. Stanley Brandford, the Baltimore Police Department's chief of detectives, said the agency planned to release body camera footage to the public. "Youse can't do dat! Yer violatin' his privacy!"

It seems like Baltimore has their best people involved with crime and law enforcement! I just can't imagine anyone handling crime and punishment better than Baltimore.
[PHILLY] A transgender woman who spent time behind bars for a botched castration that led to the death of her sixth husband was locked away Drop the heater, Studs, or you're hist'try! this week after she allegedly threatened to shoot a Westmoreland County, Pa., judge, according to news reports and police. Any information at all is too much information.
Tammy L. Felbaum, 58, of Seward, in southwestern Pennsylvania, entered the Westmoreland County Courthouse on Monday morning, placed her purse on the baggage X-ray equipment, then made comments that "she had guns and an Uzi and a rocket launcher in her purse," County Park Police Chief Kirk Nolan said Wednesday.
Tammy Felbaum, charged with terroristic threats and disorderly conduct, after allegedly threatening to shoot a Westmoreland County judge on Monday, Feb. 6, 2017.
As she walked through the scanner, she told another officer, "I came here to shoot a judge," Nolan said.
He said officers searched her purse and did not find any weapons. Felbaum told police she was only kidding about her threats, Nolan said. He said she did not name a specific judge.
Felbaum nonetheless was charged with terroristic threats and disorderly conduct. She was being held Wednesday at the Westmoreland County Prison on $100,000 bail.
In February 2001, Felbaum botched a castration on her husband, James, at their home in Marion Township, Butler County, about an hour's drive north of Pittsburgh, the News Agency that Dare Not be Named reported. Authorities alleged that James Felbaum choked to death on his vomit after he took or was given painkilling drugs following the crude surgery. James Felbaum, 40, died at a hospital in Grove City on Feb. 25, a day or two after the operation.
At her nonjury trial in December 2001, Tammy Felbaum claimed her husband had castrated himself. But the judge found her responsible and convicted her of involuntary manslaughter, aggravated assault, recklessly endangering another person and unauthorized practice of medicine. She was sentenced to 5½ to 11 years in state prison.
A state trooper who had interviewed Tammy Felbaum said she denied taking part in her husband's castration, and said she told him she had "an interest in medicine" and "had castrated bulls in the past," the AP reported.
The trooper had said that Felbaum told him she had argued with her husband after he returned from a drug rehab clinic and she thought he was cheating on her, the AP reported.
Felbaum was born Thomas Wyda in Uniontown, but underwent a sex-change operation in 1980 after self-castration, according to news reports.
After being released from prison in her husband's death, Felbaum maintained that she did not kill her husband, according to an interview she gave to WPXI-TV. "My husband died from complications of a drug overdose, not complications of any surgery. I did not kill my husband. ... It’s a minor surgery," she told the TV station. She also said she had performed the surgery on her first husband.

It's a complex story. [She} made comments that "she had guns and an Uzi and a rocket launcher in her purse," It is no surprise they didn't find these in her purse. Now, if Felbaum had a razor or Mohel knives in her purse, I'd worry if I were the judge--particularly since she was not very skillful. I'm only surprised this case didn't somehow turn into a discrimination case against transgenders in today's society.
[Richmond Times] WASHINGTON (AP) -- A senior military aide fired by then-Defense Secretary Ash Carter has been demoted and will retire as a one-star general as a result of a misconduct investigation.
The investigation concluded that Brig. Gen. Ron Lewis used his government credit card at strip clubs or gentlemen's clubs in Rome and Seoul, drank in excess and had "improper interactions" with women during business travel.
Lewis, a West Point graduate who served in the Army for about 30 years, was reprimanded by Gen. Daniel Allyn, the vice chief of the Army, but will not face any fines.
Lewis had reached the three-star rank of lieutenant general while working for Carter, but was demoted to major general after he was fired in November 2015. The Defense Department Inspector General investigated his conduct and found him guilty of multiple counts of conduct unbecoming an officer. No photographs were made available.
[SFGate] Story update Feb. 10 at 7 a.m.: The massive crater in the main spillway of Oroville Dam continued to grow Thursday as state officials released more water from Lake Oroville to keep up with the stormwater and snowmelt filling up the reservoir. The hole is now about 45-feet-deep and 300-feet-wide by 500-feet-long, according to KCBS.
As the lake level continues to rise, officials are saying they'll likely release water from Oroville Dam's unpaved emergency spillway for the first time ever on Saturday. The emergency release has never been used, and crews are clearing trees and brush if it's needed.
The lake is now at 98 percent capacity [It has never been this high at this point in the year - it has also never overtopped the dam but it may do so in the next few days - although the Dam will not collapse].
Earlier this week, chunks of concrete flew off the nearly mile-long spillway, creating a 200-foot-long, 30-foot-deep hole. Engineers don't know what caused the cave-in that is expected to keep growing until it reaches bedrock [probably a design error when the Dam was built or else a construction error same time frame].
The department does not expect the discharge from the reservoir to exceed the capacity of any channel downstream as the water flows through the Feather River, into the Sacramento River and on to the San Francisco Bay.
To keep track of the Reservoir situation in California go here.
To keep track of this year's good news for the Salt Lake City water basin go here.
To keep track of this year's good news for the Lake Powell and other Colorado River Reservoirs go here.

Given the size of the hole, this doesn't sound all that necessary. Unless it's needed to keep the trees and debris from floating downstream and hitting things. Maybe I'm missing something?

CA hasn't built a dam in 30 plus years. In that time the population has doubled, thanks in part to the presence of 1/3 of all the 11-15 million illegals in the whole country. All this water, the liquid bounty that could prevent the drought conditions returning in a year or so, flows into the Pacific. So they are already anticipating water delivery restrictions to agriculture and cities perhaps as early as this year. The state is spending billions on the Bullet Train fiasco and electic car charging stations, but not a dime on water storage or catchment basins. We are governed by idiots and simpletons like Moonbeam.

[WAPO] The second-highest-ranking official at the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives has written a proposal to reduce gun regulations, including examining a possible end to the ban on importing assault weapons into the United States.
The "white paper" by Ronald B. Turk, associate deputy director and chief operating officer of the ATF, calls for removing restrictions on the sale of gun silencers; allowing gun dealers to have more guns used in crimes traced to their stores before the federal government requires additional information from the dealer; and initiating a study on lifting the ban on imported assault weapons.

[Khaama (Afghanistan)] A newly-wed bride was lured and gang-raped by a group of men in northeastern Takhar province of Afghanistan.
The 20-year-old woman whose identity has not been disclosed was raped by a group of at least three men after she eloped from her husband’s house.
Provincial governor’s front man Sanatullah Temori confirmed the incident.
The victim has said she was lured by the perpetrator, Jamshid, and was encouraged to elope due to domestic violence she was facing in her husband’s house.
According to the woman, Jamshid gang-raped her together with his two other friends and left her outside the provincial women’s affairs directorate where she is currently in government’s shelter. She also added that the men kept her as hostage in a house for a period of almost four weeks in Taloqan city.
This comes as the rate of violence against women is sharply on the rise across the country. Cases of domestic violence against women as well as murder of the women by the anti-government armed Lions of Islam have been routinely reported from various provinces during the recent months.

[REUTERS] A session of South Africa's parliament convened for a keynote address by the president descended into chaos on Thursday as far-left politicians brawled with orderlies after interrupting the speech and the main opposition party walked out.
Deputies from the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) party fired questions at Jacob Zuma for more than an hour, forcing the president - whose authority has been tarnished by a series of scandals - to halt his state-of-the-nation speech.
Zuma had earlier authorized more than 400 soldiers to join the security team outside the building during the speech, an unprecedented move his opponents described as a "militarization" of parliament.
Speaker Baleka Mbete ordered the EFF contingent ejected after their leader Julius Malema called Zuma "rotten to the core".
Exiting the chamber with his deputies a short time later, opposition Democratic Alliance party leader Mmusi Maimane said the president was unfit to hold office.
Previous Zuma speeches in parliament have led to disruptions but Thursday's - in which he said the government would push for a greater role for blacks in the economy - was the most violent, with the scuffles spilling over into the precinct of the building, Rootersnews hounds saw.
A couple of blocks away, police fired stun grenades to disperse supporters of the EFF and the president's African National Congress (ANC) party.
The party holds more than 60 percent of the 400 seats in parliament but Zuma faced a revolt by some ANC members in November.
That same month an anti-corruption watchdog called for a judicial inquiry into alleged influence-peddling in his government. He has denied the allegations. No, no! Certainly not!

[South China Morning Star] Regulation, to be gradually rolled out at entry points nationwide, will affect all foreigners aged 14 to 70.
All foreigners will soon have to give their fingerprints upon entering China, with the new rule taking effect at Shenzhen’s airport on Friday.
The move, aimed at improving border checks, would see China collecting the fingerprints of all foreigners aged between 14 and 70 entering the country, the Ministry of Public Security said in a statement on its website on Thursday.
The new regulation will start on Friday at Shenzhen Baoan International Airport, among other locations, before being gradually rolled out at all checkpoints across the country.
The information would then be stored for official use, the statement said. It did not elaborate on whether the information would shared across ministries and other government agencies.

Applicants for US visas are fingerprinted, so this isn't some kind of novel requirement. That China is doing it is a little absurd and perhaps sinister, given that it's not as if visa overstays are a big problem there.
Senator Dana Rohrabacher, who chairs the US Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Europe, Eurasia and emerging threats, suggested the landlocked nation should be divided between neighbouring states. The 70-year-old said that “division” in Macedonia meant “they will never be able to live together in future”.
It's an interesting point and one that we've covered in the past here at the Burg. The FYR of Macedonia has an Albanian core in its west and a Bulgarian core in its east. It's a papered-together country. The region was fought over several times in the run-up to World War One, and it took Tito's considerable influence (and jackboots) to keep the region from blowing up after World War Two. There's a low level Albanian insurgency that wants to split off the western part, and the Russians (of course) have been meddling.
“Kosovars and Albanians from Macedonia should be part of Kosovo and the rest of Macedonia should be part of Bulgaria or any other country to which they believe they are related,” he told Albanian TV channel, Vizion Plus. “The idea is to keep Macedonia alive because someone 30 years ago decided it is a configuration that should come out of the dismantling of Yugoslavia, does not lead to an explanation that this idea is still held.”
A landlocked country in Southeast Europe's Balkan peninsula, the Repcublic of Macedonia is one of the successor states of the former Yugoslavia, from which it declared independence in 1991. It became a member of the United Nations in 1993, but as a result of an ongoing dispute with Greece over the use of the name "Macedonia", it was admitted under the provisional description the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia.
Mr Rohrabacher's comments echo a suggestion by Russian Foreign Minister, Sergey Lavrov. In 2015, he said that “ideas have been floated” about giving the Republic of Macedonia “to Albania, and another part to Bulgaria”.
Asked if Donald Trump would support his idea, Mr Rohrabacher said he “had influence” on US policymakers and his committee would hold hearings in the “coming months”.
His comments provoked a furious response from the Macedonian foreign ministry which accused him of inflaming "nationalistic rhetoric".
“His expressed views generated immense anxiety regarding Macedonia and the region,” it said in a statement. “They inflame nationalist rhetoric in the neighbouring regions, taking us back into the past. We believe that the US State Department will adequately remove any doubt about the stated positions and will affirm its policy towards Macedonia and the Balkans.”

Seems like Albanians' modus operandi is to move people into neighboring countries, pushing the locals out as they go and then claim the country should be merged with Albania. As long as they encounter mush they'll keep pushing.

A car belonging to the police chief of the Swedish city of Uppsala has exploded in northern Stockholm. No one was injured in the incident, but police are now investigating a possible link between the blast and the officer’s activities.
The vehicle, parked outside the police chief’s home in the northern part of Stockholm, blew up during the early hours of Monday morning, according to broadcaster SVT, citing investigators.
The police chief and his family are being cared for, and officials have launched a preliminary investigation on the basis of endangering public safety.
"We can't rule anything out just now, but we are working to try and find out what the motive could be for the detonation,” Uppsala police spokesperson Lisa Sannervik told the TT news agency, as cited by the Local.
“With regards to the threat situation, that’s something we’re working on right now, to see if there is a link between the blast and the employee. We can’t say any more than that right now,” the spokesperson added.
The vehicle will be moved to another location to undergo a thorough examination, Mats Eriksson of the Stockholm police told SVT.
“It is a serious case when a police officer gets exposed to this type of threat,” he said. “We are investigating other things I cannot address at the moment, but this is an acute threat that we take seriously.”

It is interesting how there are pet memes embraced by lefties in the universities.

As puppets, they should occasionally check out the identity of the puppeteer.
[DAWN] A woman was bumped off in Kohat's Astarzai area last Friday allegedly by a relative who objected to her working outside the home, police said.
Her relatives attempted to keep the incident hidden, a family member told DawnNews, but a First Information Report was lodged after reports of the murder began circulating on social media.
District Police Officer (DPO) Kohat Javed Iqbal said the woman, Hina Shahnawaz, had been shot four times allegedly by her cousin Mehboob Alam, who did not approve of her working.
Summary: The husband approved, but a cousin did not, and killed her. What a lovely culture.
Shahnawaz had been working at a non-governmental organization in Islamabad and was earning Rs80,000 a month, which she used to support her widowed mother and sister-in-law after her father and brother passed away, the DPO said. Then bravely runs away.
Updated summary: With no other support on offer for the three-woman household, particularly from the cousin, our heroine went to work for a reputable charity. Preferring that they all starve to death genteely, the cousin kills her, condemning the rest to a slow death. Even more lovely.
Alam fled after allegedly killing his cousin, DPO Iqbal said, adding that the police are conducting a search operation in the area to find him.
