[Martin County Times] From The Martin County Sheriff’s Office: The execution of a plot to rob and murder two armored car employees who were scheduled to pick up millions of dollars in cash in Port St. Lucie, ended in Martin County with a dramatic takedown involving the Martin County Sheriff’s Office, Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office, St. Lucie County Sheriff’s Office and the FBI.
Three suspects who were plotting to commit the violent robbery were arrested just hours before they could pull off the deadly heist. Through investigative leads, the FBI Safe Streets Task Force, (a multi-agency unit specializing in violent crimes in South Florida), was able to develop enough probable cause to arrange a special operation take-down that spanned from Palm Beach County to St. Lucie County. That operation concluded on the interstate in Martin County, as multiple law enforcement agencies converged upon the car carrying the violent masterminds of the failed deadly plot.
The suspects, identified as Daryl Canady a/k/a, "Doo-Doo", Alger Lee Ellison, a/k/a, "Al’, and Martiavius Leon Williams, a/k/a, "Man" , all of Palm Beach County, were taken into custody after being surrounded by a swarm of law enforcement officials in the southbound lanes of I-95, just south of the SR 714 exit. The takedown happened before 9:00am, on Tuesday, February, 20th. Law enforcement officers shut down part of the interstate to avoid any potential danger to passing motorists. Within moments, the suspects surrendered.

Maybe B's point is 3 groups of Sheriffs from 3 different Florida counties with(in spite of?) Federal aid were able to coordinate the seizure of some bad guys.
Within moments, the suspects surrendered.
Why couldn't 1 Florida Sheriff's dept stop 1 bad guy on Valentine's Day?
[FOXNEWS] A manhunt is underway for a gunman who fatally shot two people inside a Michigan university dorm building early Friday morning. Mount Pleasant officials are searching for James Eric Davis Jr., a 19-year-old black man who opened fire inside Campbell Hall at Central Michigan University around 8:30 a.m. Police described the shooting as a “family-type domestic issue.”
Lt. Larry Klaus said surveillance video suggests that Davis fled on foot after the shooting.
The university confirmed that the shooting victims were Davis' parents, Diva Jeneen and James Eric Davis Sr. The elder Davis was a part-time police officer in Bellwood, Illinois, Bellwood Police Chief Jiminez Allen told WJBK.
According to Davis' Twitter page, he was a sophomore at Central Michigan University slated to graduate in 2020.
Klaus said Davis was taken to a local hospital Thursday night with a drug-related injury, possibly an overdose, but would not elaborate more. Just another feral youth story, so his gun doesn't need to be controlled...

Tragic. The kid was from an actually involved and intact family.
Sounds like his folks went to see him after his 'medical incident', and probably demanded a 'what gives' from him. Good parenting from where I came from.
My Conjecture - James, being 19 (still stupid) and now in the drug/gang culture since being away from the folks, didn't want to deal with that so took the young hoodlum 'no-disrespect' approach.

[WFLA] Imagine seeing an 8-foot-long alligator strolling along a busy road.
It happened to two Sarasota County Sheriff’s Office deputies early Friday morning. They spotted the alligator wandering along Jacaranda Boulevard.
The gator was not very nice when deputies went near him.
An alligator trapper responded to the scene and deputies helped wrangle the big guy.
The sheriff’s office posted about the encounter on Twitter.
"It’s been an interesting start to our Friday. Sgt. Tuggle & Dep. McCormick came across this bad boy this morning along Jacaranda Blvd. At 8’7", this guy was mean & didn’t want to be bothered. Deputies held down the fort until a trapper arrived & took the instiGATOR into custody."

The Ruger Security 9 is getting good reviews and is fairly inexpensive. At one point in time you could get one for about $230. The demand has shot up so you'd have to shop around now.
[NEWZIMBABWE] Mazoe villagers whose properties and homesteads were destroyed by the police following orders from former First Lady Grace Mugabe in 2015 have been awarded more than $30 000 as compensation by the court.
The villagers, who were represented by Noble Chinhanu of Zim-bob-we Lawyers Human Rights (ZLHR), argued that together with their children, they suffered great humiliation, shock, trauma as a result of the destruction of their homesteads and property and endured emotional suffering and physical hardship after being rendered homeless.
The court Thursday ordered Home Affairs Minister Obert Mpofu and the ZRP Commissioner-General Godwin Matanga to pay more than $30 000 as compensation.
In January 2015, ZRP officers raided and demolished Mazowe villagers’ homesteads at Manzou Farm in Mashonaland Central province without a court order to justify the forced evictions.
During the forced evictions, the ZRP officers destroyed homesteads, household furniture and the villagers’ crops including maize grain and groundnuts.
This prompted the villagers to petition the Bindura Magistrates Court seeking various orders for payment of damages for the destruction of their homesteads and properties.
In summons filed in 2015 at Bindura Magistrates Courts, the villagers argued that in destroying their homesteads and evicting them, ZRP officers violated their fundamental rights including their right to property, guaranteed under section 71 of the Constitution and their right to freedom from arbitrary eviction provided for under Section 74 of the Constitution.

[All Africa] South Africa will not allow a chaotic land grab akin to what happened in Zim-bob-we the neighbouring country's ruling party ANC deputy secretary general, Jessie Duarte, said Thursday.
A day after the South African Parliament voted to allow for amendments to the country's constitution and pave way for land expropriation without compensation, President Cyril Rhamaphosa also told the House of Traditional Leaders that land redistribution in South Africa would be orderly.
Duarte was responding to questions from journalists at ANC headquarters in Johannesburg as the ruling party tried to pacify restive investors and an agitated population whipped into a frenzy by the opposition Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF)'s nationalistic rhetoric.
"It's absolute nonsense to think that South Africa will be another Zim-bob-we. That will not happen," Duarte said somewhat angrily.
Former President Bob Muggsy Mugabe Nonagenarian President-for-Life of Zim-bob-we who turned the former Breadbasket of Africa into the African Basket Case. Dumped in November 2017 when the Missus decided she wanted to be president, and opposed heer might against Crocodile Mnangawa Important safety tip: If your opponent goes by the name Crocodile andf your title is Shopper in Chief let him win.... 's administration sponsored a chaotic land grab that at times turned violent leading to the deaths of dozens of white farmers at the hands of veterans of the liberation struggle and Zanu PF supporters nearly 20 years ago.
The land redistribution program has blamed for the economic decline and investor flight. Despite its negative effects on the economy and the political as well as social situation in the country the program continues to this day.
Ramaphosa seems to have realised that his ANC party's support of the EFF's parliamentary motion might have devastating effects on the economy and he moved in to assure investors that their money is still safe in South Africa.

I personally know a fellow from Durban, SA who runs a successful small business which employs and pays employment taxes on a couple of dozen 'happy to be employed' US citizens. He went through hell and nearly $35,000 in immigration lawyer fees gaining U.S. citizenship for himself and his family. He did eventually prevail.
Our (pre-Trump) gov't immigration apparatus does not want them here, and their gov't immigration apparatus does not want us there. An interesting irony, unless you examine 'Deep State' commonalities and totalitarian regimes.

I'm surprised he stuck it out. Australia and Canada are usually easier, because of the point system. Although sponsoring relatives is probably more straightforward stateside.
[All Africa] Slain Libyan dictator Muammar Qadaffy ...who single-handedly turned a moderately prosperous kingdom into a dictator's fantasyland and was then murdered by his indignant subjects 42 years later... 's banker, linked by the United Nations ...where theory meets practice and practice loses... to the payment of $800m (about R9.3bn at the current rand/dollar exchange rate) into a bank account in Kenya from one in South Africa, was maimed in a shooting in Atholl Oaklands, northern Johannesburg, police confirmed on Wednesday.
Some international media outlets had initially reported that Bashir Saleh had been in South Africa for about six years and was wanted by La Belle France.
It was reported he was maimed on Friday evening - some media reports said he was shot while at home, while others said he was shot while being driven near OR Tambo International Airport.
The French publication Le Monde reported that he was maimed after arriving from a trip to Zim-bob-we.
On Wednesday, national police spokesperson Lieutenant Colonel Katlego Mogale confirmed in a statement that the man was attacked on the evening of February 23 by a group of armed suspects on the Atholl Oakland off-ramp.
Fleeing off with a laptop
"Using a hammer one of the suspects broke the window of the vehicle, opened the door and pulled the victim out of the vehicle," she said.
"The suspects allegedly shot the victim before fleeing with his laptop. The victim was taken to hospital for medical attention."
She said a case of armed robbery and attempted murder had been opened for investigation by the national investigating unit.
The suspects were believed to be aged between 30 and 35.
South African police had been aware of Saleh's presence in South Africa since at least 2013. Former president Jacob Zuma had also apparently been aware that he was in the country.

[Breitbart] Georgia lawmakers voted Thursday to do away with a tax break for Delta Air Lines after it joined in a political boycott, severing ties with the NRA.
The tax break consisted of a $50 million jet fuel tax exemption.
Fox New quoted Georgia Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle, saying, "Businesses have every legal right to make their own decisions, but the Republican majority in our state legislature also has every right to govern guided by our principles."
On February 26 Breitbart News reported that Cagle pledged to end the tax cut for Delta unless they reversed their decision against the NRA.
[The National Interest] The Law and Justice (PiS) party in Poland has been receiving a lot of international press for clashing with the EU. But one of the more interesting, but not as reported, aspects of their foreign policy is increased military spending and reformation of the Polish military. One of the centerpieces of the PiS defense policy is the creation of the new branch of the Polish military, the Territorial Defense Forces (Wojska Obrony Terytorialnej, WOT). The force is largely oriented as a counter to forms of hybrid warfare by Russia and draws upon the Ukrainian and Baltic structures and means of organization of such forces. However, the WOT has proven to be a lightning rod for controversy domestically, due to the apparent priority given to it for personnel and equipment.
After listening to the decades of blather coming out of the non-Jewish parts of the Middle East, Europe and the UN, I'm going to go with "Yeah, they probably do".
[DAWN] Madiha Kayani ... four star general, Chief of Army Staff of the Mighty Pak Army. Kayani was the former Director General of ISI... , a TV show host and only eyewitness to the January 13 murder of Intizar Ahmed in Defence, who in a video message on social media on Wednesday described the teenager’s murder as "planned" and claimed to have recognised one of the key characters of the deadly episode, withdrew from her claim and stood firm on her previous statement before the joint investigation team on Thursday, which also recorded the statement of the father of a former classmate of the victim, officials said.
Sources familiar with proceedings of the JIT told Dawn that they (JIT) on Thursday invited the father of the victim, Ishtiaq Ahmed, and the witness, Ms Kayani, who was accompanying expatriate student Intizar Ahmed when he was bumped off by personnel of the Anti-Car Lifting Cell on Khayaban-e-Ittehad in Defence.
The most important information to emerge from Thursday’s JIT meeting held under the chairmanship of Additional IG CTD Dr Sanaullah Abbasi was the statement of Sohail Hameed from the US recorded through videoconferencing.
Mr Hameed, who is a brother of police officer Amir Hameed, told the JIT members that his daughter Mahrukh had studied with the victim Intizar. Intizar used to frequently phone her daughter when they shifted to the US.
Sohail Hameed said he once phoned Ishtiaq Ahmed, complaining about his son’s frequent phone calls to his daughter.
Mr Hameed told the JIT members that he had held a "normal telephone talk" with Ishtiaq Ahmed, denying that he had "threatened" him. He even stated in his statement that when he ended the telephone conversation with Ishtiaq, he (Ishtiaq) invited him at his home whenever he returned to Pakistain.

[DAWN] Senior lawyer and expert on law affairs Akram Sheikh on Friday told the Islamabad High Court (IHC) that a constitutional court has the authority to direct the government to legislate against those non-Moslems who purposely pretend to appear Moslem on paper when they are not, DawnNewsTV reported.
He was assisting the court during Friday's hearing of a petition filed by Maulana Allah Wasaya on the identification of alleged non-Moslems in government, semi-government and autonomous organizations who identify themselves as Moslems.
In his remarks, IHC's Justice Shaukat Aziz Siddiqui reiterated that more than 10,000 people have changed their religious status from Moslem to Ahmadi in their Computerised National Identity Cards. He said a majority of these people had shown themselves as Moslems in a bid to have a government job and then changed their official religious status after retirement once they reached the age of 60.
Further citing a government report, he said that out of the total number of those who changed their status from Moslem to Ahmedi, more than 6,000 had left the country. The government had already been directed to produce their travel history, he added.
Akram Sheikh expressed his concerns over what he called revelations regarding Ahmadis in the government's report. "Ahmadis can't be allowed to exercise Islamic rituals," he said, adding that it could hurt the religious sentiments of Moslems.

[Wired] EARTH GOT A warning shot on January 25, 2016. On that day, Air Force engineers were scheduled to kill off a GPS satellite named SVN-23—the oldest in the navigation constellation. SVN-23 should have just gone to rest in peace. But when engineers took it offline, its disappearance triggered, according to the National Institute of Standards and Technology, a software bug that left the timing of some of the remaining GPS satellites—15 of them—off by 13.7 microseconds.
That’s not a lot to you. If your watch is off by 13.7 microseconds, you’ll make it to your important meeting just fine. But it wasn't so nice for the first-responders in Arizona, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, and Louisiana, whose GPS devices wouldn’t lock with satellites. Nor for the FAA ground transceivers that got fault reports. Nor the Spanish digital TV networks that had receiver issues. Nor the BBC digital radio listeners, whose British broadcast got disrupted. It caused about 12 hours of problems—none too huge, all annoying. But it was a solid case study for what can happen when GPS messes up.
With that kind of threat looming, GPS understudies are getting more attention. Like, for example, other satellites. A company called Satelles is looking to Iridium satellites—you know, the ones that link up to the satellite phone you take with you on Arctic expeditions. The Iridium satellites had a little-used channel that used to ping pagers, but people don't have those anymore. So Satelles made a deal with Iridium to reprogram the pager channel to beam down a GPS-esque signal.
If it were outfitted to do so, your phone—or your ship or your plane or whatever—could catch that signal. And because it knows when Iridium sent the signal down, and it knows when the signal arrived, it can calculate how far away the satellite was. Get three Iridiums at once, and your phone calculate its position, similarly to how it does with GPS signals—except these signals were made with modern cryptographic techniques that make them, unlike GPS, basically unspoofable. The company calls it STL: Satellite Timing and Location, and it's selling it to customers like the US government, banks, data centers, and potentially wireless carriers.
There are 66 Iridium satellites up there, and they’re about 25 times closer to the ground than GPS satellites are, and that proximity means their signals are much stronger when they arrive at Earth. Where a GPS signal might be too weak—like in an old brick apartment building amidst other brick apartment buildings—an Iridium signal does just fine.
There’s gotta be a downside, though, or everyone would have used this for location and timing in the first place. And here it is: “The accuracy is not quite as good as GPS,” says O’Connor. Where GPS gives your spot with about 5 to 10 meters of accuracy, Satelles’ method is only about 20 to 30 meters (the timing accuracy is comparable). “When you’re in an environment where you can receive GPS, GPS is better,” says O’Connor. But if you’ve got no GPS, or GPS has got your spot wrong, or you need to know for sure for sure you’re not being spoofed, Iridium might be the way to go.
Nice pics at the link. A family of giving. I was off work (sick) today, so caught the many memorial speeches. I was most touched by the daughter who had a couple of very failed relationships and had to come home, expecting disapproval and condemnation. She instead found...unconditional love and acceptance. As God gives it.
[DailyCaller] Donald Trump arrived at Billy Graham's funeral in North Carolina Friday, where he was escorted by a very special member of the Graham family.
As POTUS walked to the tent where Graham's family and dignitaries were gathered, he was met halfway by a uniformed Army Major. The two saluted each other and the Major escorted the first and second families to their seats.
What many watching may not know is the identity of that man. He is Billy Graham's grandson, Edward. Edward graduated from West Point and served seven tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, where he was once injured by shrapnel from an IED.
Graham was also in Washington, DC, for his grandfather's service at the United States Capitol. Graham stood for hours, shaking the hands of all of those who were there to pay honor to Billy Graham. Edward's father, Franklin Graham, told The Daily Caller, "These people stood outside for us and for my father." He continued, "I will stand here for them. We love them and so does God."

"The Texas teen is home-schooled and not a student at Rowlett High"
Home schooled or not in school, there is a huge difference and the kid doesn't fit the pattern for home schooled I've come to expect.
#10
the kid doesn't fit the pattern for home schooled I've come to expect.
There is a huge range in what home schooling means, from serious college prep to free range kids to the well-intentioned but ill-equipped experience final daughter went through at the hands of her mother: her mother handed her the age-appropriate textbooks and workbooks from series recommended by fellow members of their odd little church, and when fd struggled got her the same textbook/workbook combination from another recommended series on the subject. Final daughter is bright, but she spent three years trying vainly to master junior high math without any useful help from her mother, even though her mother had a college education and ranked as a sergeant in the Air Force when she retired.
I’m reasonably bright and well educated, but I lack the discipline to successfully home school. I was fine at enriching beyond what the school offered, but if formal schooling had not been available, I would have done my parental duty by arranging for tutors.
