-Lurid Crime Tales-
Former DPS board president Otis Mathis arraigned in lewd behavior case
Former Detroit Public School Board President Otis Mathis III was released on a $50,000 personal bond but was ordered to surrender his passport and told he could not travel outside Michigan.
Bad news: You can travel outside of Michigan without a passport, at least for now...
Mathis, 55, faces charges that he fondled himself during a June 16 meeting with the former DPS superintendent.
"A-yup. He wuz a stretchin' his pee-pee!"
Magistrate Renee McDuffee of Detroit's 36th District Court also ordered him to have no contact with former DPS Superintendent Teresa Gueyser, the DPS school board or any school-aged children.
"And keep yer distance from livestock, too!"
Defense attorney Odie Uddyback
That's gotta be an assumed name...
vigorously objected to the implication of her order not to have any contact with children. Uddyback pointed out that there were no children involved in the allegations against Mathis.
"Nor were there any livestock! Though there was a sea bass... But it was longer than 36 inches!"
But the magistrate let the order stand.
"We have pictures of the liverwurst!"
The onetime Wayne County commissioner and substitute teacher is charged with misconduct in office, a felony that carries a sentence of up to five years in prison, and an obscene conduct charge, a misdemeanor that carries a penalty of up to 90 days in jail.
"90 days and no fishing for a year!"
He will return to court on July 30. Neither Mathis nor his attorney had any comment as they exited the court together.
"I ain't sayin' nuttin' widdout me mout'piece!"
"I'm his mout'piece and I ain't sayin' nuttin'!"

Mathis allegedly unzipped his fly during a June 16 meeting with Teresa Gueyser, who also told the school board that other times, he'd touched himself while meeting with her, according to investigators.
"Oh, Ms. Geyser! You make me feel like a... a..."
"Look out! Ewwwwwwww! Put that thing away! And clean that up!""

Mathis, who turned himself in to police on Friday, resigned from the board and then tried to get his job back. He was elected to the school board three years ago.
"How 'bout dat? I won the erection!"
"That's election, dumbass! And get yer hands outta yer lap. You'll go crazy!"

#1  The only difference between the brain of this guy and the brain of Lindsay Lohan is that because her brain is fried with alcohol, it might someday heal. Whatever has damaged his brain, be it dialectic or toxoplasmosis, it is probably permanent.

#2  Redistributing wealth from the Ubber-Riche to the lowest level trogs is what they use to get their foot in the door. Redistribution from the middle class to the 'recipient' class is what is actually taking place. The top .5% arent going to give up a dime.

Black Panthers voter intimidation scandal plagues DoJ
J. Christian Adams, a former career Justice Department official who resigned over the Obama administration's failure to pursue a voter intimidation case against the New Black Panther Party, will finally get a chance to tell his story in public today when he testifies before the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights.

Mr. Adams will make some explosive charges. He says the administration used a racial double standard in deciding last year to drop the prosecution of the New Black Panther Party after members were videotaped in front of a Philadelphia polling place on Election Day 2008 dressed in military-style uniforms, brandishing a billy club and using racial slurs against voters. Mr. Adams says the career prosecutors who pursued the case did their job but were stymied by Obama political appointees, for whom he has harsh words: "To abandon law-abiding citizens and abet wrongdoers constitutes corruption," he told Fox News last week.

President Obama's Justice Department continues to stonewall inquiries about why it dropped the voter intimidation case, which Bartle Bull, a former civil rights lawyer and former publisher of the left-wing Village Voice, calls "the most blatant form of voter intimidation I've ever seen." Mr. Bull and others witnessed one Black Panther pointing his billy club at voters and making racial threats. Mr. Bull says he heard one yell: "You are about to be ruled by the black man, cracker!"

Nonetheless, the Justice Department moved to dismiss most of the charges a month after winning a default judgment against the Black Panthers when the party failed to appear in federal court. The move came after Justice secured an agreement from one Black Panther member not to carry a "deadly weapon" near a polling place until 2012. In a written statement, the Justice Department now says it acted in good faith, adding: "It is regrettable when a former department attorney distorts the facts and makes baseless allegations to promote his or her agenda."

But the Washington Times has reported that six career lawyers at Justice, including Christopher Coates, former chief of the Justice Department's voting section, also favored pursuing the case. One of the career attorneys, Appellate Chief Diana Flynn, had urged in an internal memo that a judgment be pressed against the defendants to "prevent the paramilitary style intimidation of voters" in the future.

All of the career attorneys were overruled by Associate Attorney General Thomas Perrelli, an Obama appointee.

Rep. Frank Wolf, a Virginia Republican, says his efforts to require Justice to make the career attorneys available for questions have been rebuffed. Mr. Adams is able to testify today only because he voluntarily resigned his career position. It will be interesting to see if his public testimony finally stirs the broadcast networks to cover this outrage.

Just in time to do it again in the next presidential election. Because you know that, after this, they are going to go all out in November because they know they can get away with it.

He already had an advanced case of syphilis when he took office.

If this isn't a smoking gun, I don't know what is. I was floored when I heard this on Fox tonight.

#4  Exemption from the rule of law? After 40 years of quotas, class entitlement. and racial privilege, I can't understand why anyone should be shocked or surprised at this.

Next time you fly Delta, check out the employee demographics. Even in so-called "Right to Work" states like Georgia, large business and industry has caught on to the political and economic insulation provided by a affirmative action and a massively diverse work force. Delta Airlines, a voting block too big to fail...... and they know it.

I wonder what would happen if any other groups would show up right after the Black Panthers did brandishing similar weapons.

My bet is you won't have to wait long to find out. This is one of the unfortunate ways Bambi will set this country back 50 years.

#8  Black Panthers voter intimidation scandal plagues DoJ

It should be a concern for all Americans. It is one of the most blatant cases of institutional racism and lack of justice I've seen outside of the O.J. Simpson murder acquittal.

#9  Let us do a thought experiment, followed by a few questions:

Philadelphia Idaho, the location: one of the few polling places in the area where whites blacks are routinely known to vote.

Blacks Whites show up in paramilitary uniform, combat boots, wielding police batons, bearing the emblems of the Black Panthers White Aryan Resistance. One of them shouts at a black voter: ""You are about to be ruled by the black white man, cracker nigger!"

The case filed against them and their organization is ordered dropped by a left-wing right-wing black white Attorney General.

Question: Would there be a media firestorm and accusations of racism at the President and his Atty Gen?

Question: Why is there no media firestorm of outrage about the racism if the struck-through language were used instead?

Bonus: Posit and discuss prima facia proof that larger print and broadcast media are no longer reporting news but are merely propagandists for a given political view. (Hint: A starting point would be the Media's suborning themselves to deliberate dissembling and lies of commission and omission in furtherance of their chosen political viewpoint instead of the truth and facts).

Extra Credit: Discuss ways of limiting or correcting the press use of itself as a distorting organ of propaganda rather than a source of facts for an informed citizenry.

#10  I don't see what the big deal is. It's not like they were trying to prevent illegal aliens from voting. Now THAT's a hate crime!

#11  A cloud of pepper spray from mysterious origins would probably clear out any Black Panthers that were loitering around a polling station. Just make sure you are upwind and there aren't any voters walking through at that particular time. If the police won't/ can't act on b.s. like this, it surely must be time for a little good ol' vigilantism from a few concerned citizens to protect the rights of everyone.

#12  Question: Would there be a media firestorm and accusations of racism at the President and his Atty Gen?


If the scenario you describe was the case, I would say there would be burning, lootings, shootings and murder in the cities.

#14  Other Beldar,
Re. "You are about to be ruled by the black white man"
I think it might be stated instead: "You are going to KEEP being ruled by the white man" - or at least that would better fit the narrative. Other than that, the contrast is clear.

#15  I think it might be stated instead: "You are going to KEEP being ruled by the white man"

Nah. They're going to be replaced by Mexicans soon.

#16  Already happened. Ruby ridge, suspected white supremest's wife shot and killed by FBI sniper, with her baby in her arms. After all the media outrage over the terrible "white" supremest they found the truth. Randy Weaver found the Arayan church to be full of crazies and had quit months ago. Our DOJ has needed an overhaul for years. Oh well, better to jail a bunch of Arizona bigots that want the law enforced then to go after a black panter that called whitey a cracker and calls for the death of their babies.
