| [POUGHKEEPSIEJOURNAL] The suspect in the homicide of a 99-year-old City of Poughkeepsie woman is due in court this morning to face charges. Javon Tyrek Rogers, 20, a City of Poughkeepsie man, is accused of burglarizing and murdering Fannie Gumbinger, who was found dead early Wednesday morning in her home on Underhill Avenue. Police placed in durance vile Don't shoot, coppers! I'm comin' out! Rogers on Friday and charged him with first-degree murder and first-degree burglary, both felonies. He is being held in Dutchess County Jail without bail or bond. Dutchess County Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Kari Reiber has said Gumbinger died of "multiple injuries," but declined to provide the exact cause of death, citing the ongoing investigation. More information on the details of the case are expected to be provided at 11 a.m. today when city police are scheduled to hold a presser at City Hall. Police were expected to finish processing the scene of the crime at Underhill Avenue on Saturday. There was no sign of police activity there on Sunday afternoon. As a result of the police investigation, Rogers is also a suspect in multiple recent city burglaries, including one on Loockerman Avenue on Wednesday. Gumbinger's niece, city resident Jacqueline Solomon, 88, said she and Gumbinger's nephew, Peter Gumbinger, would like to to hold a memorial service for their aunt even though she was not religious and had not wanted a service. |

| #3 Authorities just don't want to go there; they want to try to keep a lid on it. Which unfortunately will only create even more havoc and pain when the leash breaks, if history is any indication of. The 'authorities' won't have the standing to contain the consequences and will most likely also be consumed by the deluge (as in "après moi le déluge"). |

| #2 Images of Gumbinger. I hold POTUS responsible for inciting these murdering punks with his ...."if I had a son" narrative. |

| #1 Too much of this has been going on lately. Some appears racist while other is just garden variety thuggery. Most of what might be considered racist does not get labeled racist. Authorities just don't want to go there; they want to try to keep a lid on it. |
