Shootout in Arizona leaves 2 FBI agents wounded, suspect found dead

Two FBI special agents were serving a search warrant on an alleged serial bank robber at around 6 a.m. and were shot in the process at the scumcrumpet's home in Mesa, Arizona.

The suspect, Abraham Rivera, 49, was found deader than a doornail inside the home, according to FOX 10 in Phoenix.

"Come out with your hands up!" one of the agents could be heard yelling to the suspect on cell phone video of the incident, the outlet reported. "This is the FBI. We have a warrant."

That's when the gunfire started.

One agent was hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries and has since been released and the other agent was treated for minor wounds at the scene, KPHO-TV of Phoenix reported.

"The FBI guy was down," witness Michael Scott [not to be confused with Michael Scott from "The Office"] told FOX 10. "He took off his jacket. He was all right. I think it went through his vest. He was bleeding."

So was he "all right?" Bleeding isn't usually associated with being all right.

The suspect, Rivera,  was accused in at least four bank robberies at three banks in the state since last year. According to Alexandria Obviously-Comatose, he just needed money to buy bread and Trump.

The circumstances of Rivera's death were not immediately confirmed but he definitely wasn't "all right."

Nevada death-row inmate found dead after execution called off

Scott Raymond Dozier was sentenced to death in 2007 for committing drug-related murders in Las Vegas and Phoenix. Dozier, 48, had tried to kill himself several times before after two scheduled executions by lethal injections were postponed. He was found hanging from a bedsheet on Saturday, officials said.

Dozier [aka "you crazy motherf***er"] was found swinging back and forth in his cell and was unresponsive. He was housed in alone at the state's maximum-security prison in Ely. He was pronounced dead at 4:35 p.m. after medical staff attempted to revive him, FOX5 Las Vegas reported.

The poor guy, whose execution was delayed twice, had previously said the fight over his fate was taking a toll on him and his family and the state should "just get it done."  How sad for him.

“They should stop punishing me and my family for their inability to carry out the execution,” Dozier said in an interview last August,  with the AP. The interview came a month after a judge stopped his execution at nearly the final hour.

Dozier’s first scheduled execution by lethal injection had been postponed in November 2017 over concerns the untried drug regimen could leave him suffocating, conscious and unable to move. They were concerned that it might have even killed him.

Trapped in a legal limbo, Dozier’s fate was put on hold as court fights ensued over a three-drug combination that had never been used in the U.S.: the sedative midazolam, the powerful opioid fentanyl and a muscle-paralyzing agent called cisatracurium. Pharmaceutical companies also objected to their medicines being used in capital punishment and called instead for a bullet to the head or a simple beheading, hanging or allowing the inmate to be bored to death.

"I've been very clear about my desire to be executed ... even if suffering is inevitable," Dozier said in a handwritten note to a state court judge who postponed his execution in November 2017.

Dozier had repeatedly made it clear that he would rather die than spend the rest of his life in prison and during the delays in his execution had even attempted to take his own life at which, like life itself, he failed at.

A federal lawsuit revealed last December that he had tried several methods to kill himself in recent months, including a bid to obtain drops of a deadly drug on a piece of paper sent through prison mail.

Lawyers for the death-row inmate also revealed that he apparently cut his neck and wrist with a razor in October. Prison officials said they intercepted mail from Dozier’s sister which detailed how to cut the jugular vein in his neck.

FACT: When being attacked by clowns, go for the juggler.

While Dozier was placed in isolation to prevent self-harm, his lawyers argued in the suit that it only made his condition deteriorate because of unconstitutional treatment. They said he was denied prison yard recreation time and the ability to read, communicate with his family or effectively consult with legal counsel.

Dozier wasn’t on suicide watch Saturday, Department of Corrections spokeswoman Brooke Santina said. It wasn’t immediately known when Dozier had last been seen by guards.

The department’s inspector general and White Pine County sheriff's office are investigating the death.

"It isn't fair that he killed himself. It simply wrong. We wanted to do it the right way," an anonymous source told Brain Flushings' "Man in the Street," Vinny Boombots.

Two Christian artists could be jailed for not creating art for same sex weddings

Arizona -- Joanna Duka nad Breanna Koski are both religious Christian women that own Brush & Nib Studio in Phoenix where they create custom artwork using calligraphy, painting and hand-lettering.

They filed suit against the city of Phoenix, where a Phoenix city ordinance threatens them with up to six months and/or a fine of $2,500 each day they refuse to make the artwork for a same-sex wedding, an event that goes against their religious beliefs.

Initially the women filed in state court to overturn the ordinance, but lost in a court of appeals. This prompted them to appeal to the state’s Supreme Court, which said on November 20 it would hear the case.

The Alliance Defending Freedom, which represents the women, asked in their petition:

Does Phoenix violate the Arizona Constitution’s Free Speech Clause when it forces commissioned artists to create custom artwork—consisting of words and paintings—conveying messages they object to and when it bans commissioned artists from publishing a statement explaining the artwork they can and cannot create?

Does Phoenix violate Arizona’s Free Exercise of Religion Act when it uses criminal penalties—including jail time—to force commissioned artists to create custom artwork expressing messages that violate their sincerely held religious beliefs and when it bans religiously motivated speech?

The petition also stated, “Their Christian beliefs forbid them from creating ‘custom artwork that conveys messages condoning, supporting, or participating in activities or ideas that violate their religious beliefs. For example, they cannot create artwork expressing messages that ‘contradict biblical truth, demean others, endorse racism, [or] incite violence.’”

ADF senior counsel Jonathan Scruggs stated at the time the state Supreme Court agreed to hear the case, “The government must allow artists to make their own decisions about which messages they will promote. Joanna and Breanna are happy to design custom art for anyone; they simply object to being forced to pour their heart, soul, imagination, and talent into creating messages that violate their conscience.”

On Friday, ADF reported that a group of legislators weighed in in favor of the women.

The Arizona attorney general joined by other states, numerous state lawmakers, various scholars, and a diverse array of business, artistic, and faith-based groups have filed friend-of-the-court briefs with the Arizona Supreme Court in support of preserving artistic and religious freedom. 

Specifically, the briefs support two Phoenix artists who face jail time and fines if they violate a sweeping Phoenix criminal law that forces them to design and create custom artwork expressing messages that violate their core beliefs.

Simply stated, how can any person(s) force another person(s) to provide their labor for something which goes against their conscience or religious beliefs? It seems like something a fascist or fascist nation would demand.

The brief filed by Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich and other state attorneys general states, “A government simply cannot force a citizen to engage in or endorse expression…. [Phoenix] must not be allowed to force artists to create customized expressions contrary to their moral, religious, or political beliefs, even if such work is paid for by the one requesting it.”

Scruggs added, “As the briefs filed this week affirm, the government shouldn’t threaten artists with jail time and fines to force them to create art that violates their beliefs. Joanna and Breanna work with all people; they just don’t promote all messages. Creative professionals should be free to create art consistent with their convictions without the threat of government punishment. Instead, the government must protect the freedom of artists to choose which messages to express through their own creations.”

What cases like this illustrate is how the LGBTQ community attempts to impose their lifestyle or beliefs on the religious community--except when it comes to Islam--for that religion, it's hands off. There has not been one case in which Islamic belief regarding same sex marriage has been challenged.

Arizona spree killer commits suicide

Scottsdale -- The man police identified as the suspect in the Phoenix killing spree committed suicide when law enforcement closed in on him at the Extended Stay Hotel on North 69th Street in Scottsdale.

The killer who I will only identify as Dwight, may have killed up to six people over a 5-day spree. Law enforcement had tied him to the murders of four professionals, one of whom was the forensic psychiatrist in the JonBenet Ramsey murder investigation.

The killings occurred in Scottsdale, Fountain Hills and Phoenix, according to police.

Dwight in altered
appearance

Dwight was traced by cops to the hotel earlier Monday. According to authorities, several shots were fired from inside his room as police closed in--police did not fire any shots.

The first victim killed Thursday was Steven Pitt, a forensic psychiatrist who worked the Ramsey case of a 6-year-old beauty pageant child who was found dead in her family's Boulder, Colorado home--a murder that has remained unsolved and has drawn national attention. Her parents and brother were cleared in 2008 by the prosecutor, based on DNA evidence.

The other five murder victims were not involved in the case.

More details are likely to become public as this story develops.

Phoenix anti-Trumpers cause rioting

A small-minded group of Anti-POTUS demonstrators used gas canisters, and threw rocks and bottles to assault police last Tuesday night in Phoenix to create havoc at what was otherwise a peaceful protest.

"A very small number of individuals chose criminal conduct," Phoenix Police Chief Jeri Williams told reporters.

And while they were referred to as individuals, they are more like seditious conformists who apparently hate authority and the rule of law.

The leftists (who are probably Antifa members) broke down fencing and "at one point dispersed gas into and at the police officers," Williams said. "They had their own gas they threw at police; not our gas."

Which indicates that they are organized and probably funded, possibly by a socialist/globalist who was born in Budapest, Hungary and whose name is a palindrome.

The violence looked a lot like the mayhem at Antifa protests. Local police were dressed in riot gear to disperse pepper balls and tear gas at the crowds. Initially they directed the pepper spray at individual leftist rioters, but eventually had to deploy the larger-scale gas.

Only four people were arrested in connection with the violence, and two were charged with aggravated assault on a police officer. Hopefully, they will be tried and sentenced to some serious time in prison.

Phoenix Democratic Mayor Greg Stanton described the event mostly as a civil celebration of First Amendment rights. There were tens of thousands of demonstrators and Stanton noted that a "very small number of people" chose to engage in "acts of assault on our police officers." He called it "very, very unfortunate."

Well, I'm very, very glad he called it unfortunate. Being that he's a Democrat, he could have blamed the presence of the police as a trigger to the violence, but he didn't. 

Of course he didn't want to associate them with Antifa so he said of those arrested, "I don't think they're affiliated with any organization."

What's his evidence for not thinking that they were associated with any organization?

Oh wait--he's a Democrat--he doesn't need evidence.

Three stooge cops quit after forcing man to eat pot

The 3 Stooges

Three Phoenix cops have resigned after a man accused them of forcing him to eat marijuana they found in his vehicle to avoid going to jail, said Chief Joseph Yahner on Thursday. 

Another officer, Jeff Farrior, was busted down from lieutenant to sergeant for knowing about the incident and doing nothing about it, Yahner told the media.

"Their actions are appalling and unacceptable. This conduct is against everything that we stand for," said the chief.

The 3 cops who quit were identified as Richard G. Pina (aka "Dick"), Jason E. McFadden and Michael J. Carnicle (aka Barnacle Carnicle").

Two of the cops are being investigated criminally and departmentally, according to Yahner, and the third cop is considered a witness to the act and therefore subject of the administrative investigation.

Chief Yahner said that all the officers' video cameras were turned off and didn't record a 19-year-old Phoenix man who was stopped for a traffic violation around 3:30 a.m. on September 13th. He was issued a citation and the vehicle was towed. 

He subsequently told a patrol supervisor that the officers who stopped him demanded he eat the marijuana they found in his possession, or go to jail.

The man ate the stash and felt ill afterward. He was also quite hungry and believed heard Jesus  calling his name after ingesting about a gram. He did not need to be hospitalized, a police spokesman said.

Yahner called the allegations of the officer's actions 'disturbing and upsetting."

The three cops who quit were all in their first year with the Phoenix police and were probationary employees. These are the types of idiots who give the police a bad name. 

"I was going to fire them. They chose to resign," Yahner said. Happily, they will not collect unemployment as they self-terminated.

This is not a case of police brutality. It's a case of police stupidity.

It's a damn shame that at a time when there are riots in Charlotte over an alleged police shooting, that these idiots make the news.

Big Freedom of Speech Rally tonight in Phoenix: bring weapons

Phoenix, AZ--Jon Ritzheimer is a former Marine who is planning to hold a rally outside the Islamic Community Center in Phoenix. He is calling it a "Freedom of Speech Rally," and he said that he was "driven by a desire to tell the truth about Islam." The event will also have a Draw Mohammad Cartoon contest.

Ritzheimer wears a shirt that says: "F--- Islam" and suggested to rally attendees to bring guns just in case there's a jihadist uprising. I believe that's good advice.

This Islamic center and mosque is the same one that was attended by the Garland, Texas Muslims, Elton Simpson and Nadir Soofi. They attempted to kill as many in attendance of a "Draw Mohammad Cartoon" contest that was sponsored by Pamela Geller, an advocate of the First Amendment and a person who has been exposing the horrendous treatment of women, gays, Jews, Christians and all other infidels who do not follow the exact Islamic dictates set out in the Koran. 

Fortunately, an off-duty cop with his service revolver took the jihadists out before they could kill in the name of Allah, the moon god of the pagans.

Many Muslims consider all images of the prophet of Islam, Mohammad, to be blasphemous. These same Muslims consider all Jews and Christians pigs and apes (they say the Al Fatiha prayer about 17 times a day to acknowledge their anger) and find it a religious act to kill infidels and gays. 

"These are the measures we have to take to expose the true colors of this religion," Ritzheimer said. "Unfortunately, we have to hold a cartoon contest, as silly as it sounds."

Ritzheimer informed the Islamic center of his intentions and about 600 people have said that they would be attending.

The head of the Islamic Center and mosque, Usama Shanni, (no known ties to Usama bin Laden) said: 

"Everybody has the right to be a bigot. Everybody has the right to be a racist. Everybody has the right to be an idiot."

When it comes to bigotry, Islam wrote the book--it's called the Koran. When it comes to racism, Shanni is confused because Islam is not a race. It is an ideology and ideologies are ripe for scrutiny--except Islam, they kill people who question it. 

When it comes to being an idiot, well, perhaps Ritzheimer could make his point in other ways; certainly wearing a tee shirt saying "F--- Islam" is not going to convince Muslims that their religion is not the way to worship a loving god, or win any over to their side of the debate.

 Allah hates everyone who doesn't believe he exists. If Allah failed to give mankind the sensory equipment to actually perceive of his existence, rather than relying only on faith, then it's on him. Christians and Jews don't kill non-believers.

Anyway, the event is scheduled to go off at 6:15 pm Phoenix time (9:15 pm EDT). Let's hope nothing else goes off when it does, if you know what I mean.

Arizona Governor, Doug Ducey said, "Of course I'm a believer in free speech and the First Amendment. I'm also a believer in good judgment and common sense." He was going to add the word "but" to the second sentence, and knew that leaving it out kept him from sounding like a moron. 

There are no "buts" in the Constitution and there is no justification or excuse for killing people who are exercising their rights. If we only had nice things to say to those who disagree with us, we wouldn't need a First Amendment. 

Let's hope the Muslims exercise common sense. After all, it is our Constitution and our rights as a free country. And we will not be cowed into silence when it comes to our rights, whether it's tacky or not.

In our nation's capital, the Washington Metro voted to stop showing "issue-oriented" ads throughout their system after Pamela Geller attempted to place ads with Mohammed cartoons on the D.C. transit system. 

Washington Metro balked because they are afraid of Islamic terror repercussions. Unfortunately, we have become a nation of cowards, and this is what extreme Islam is counting on.

I sincerely doubt that there will be any Mensa members at this rally due to the strategy being used to get their message out, but there will be Americans there who on one level are sick and tired of being told by the media to shut up because they are "asking for it."

They are not asking for anything more than the right to say what you and I may not want to hear.
