McCarthy: Cops Taking Report Of Gang ‘Hit Squad’ Seriously

According to some of the information gathered, gang members intend to coax police officers into chasing them into alleys or gangways. Once inside, other gang members would shoot the officers.

Chicago Police Supt. Garry McCarthy says his department is taking seriously a purported directive from a Chicago street gang to kill members of law enforcement.

The gang reportedly has even created a so-called “hit squad” to carry out the mission, CBS 2?S Mai Martinez reports.

Being a police officer just got more dangerous in Chicago. According to information gathered by the Cook County Sheriff’s office, a street gang wants to ambush and kill police officers near 19th and Oakley west of the Loop.

“This is in regards to one particular officer who’s done an incredible job who we’re paying special attention to make sure that he’s covered,” McCarthy told reporters Monday.

They’re also alerting all officers. CBS 2 obtained a copy of an Officer Safety Alert issued last week that says, “The purpose of this squad will be to kill law enforcement officers.”

Murder of U.S. Marine in Afghanistan Raises Red Flags About War

During a meal after training, one of the U.S. government-backed Afghan troops indicated to Buckley, Jr. that local forces knew the group of Americans was set to leave soon. It made the U.S. Marines nervous — especially since government policy apparently keeps American forces disarmed while on base with armed Afghans. Buckley, Jr. had already terrified his parents by suggesting that he would not be coming home alive.

Before being murdered by an AK47-wielding “tea boy” on a base in Helmand Province, Lance Corporal Greg Buckley, Jr. (shown in inset) told his parents about a sense that he would not come home from Afghanistan. He was right. Now, his heartbroken family and a growing group of supporters across America want justice.

In an interview with The New American, the then-21-year-old Marine’s father, Greg Buckley, Sr., also raised troubling questions about the U.S. government’s war in Afghanistan, the controversial policies governing American forces there, and much more. He says it is time for politicians to do something for U.S. troops — and for American soldiers to come home now.

“As Karzai has said many times, they don’t want us there. So why should we even be there?” Buckley, Sr. asked. “There are reasons we are there, and one day our government might tell us the truth. But that day might be too late. We are losing too many soldiers out there in Afghanistan. Our government needs to respect our soldiers, give them more protection, or return all of them home immediately.”

On August 10 last year, two days before Lance Cpl. Buckley, Jr. was finally supposed to return home for a surprise visit with his family, he spent the day following orders to train Afghan security forces. Even though he already knew well from personal experience that the Afghans did not want him or his fellow soldiers in the country — many of the locals loathe the American presence with a passion — Buckley, Jr. did what he was ordered to do.

Beware of Liberals Who Come in Evangelicals’ Clothing by Ann Coulter

Mr. Uth and his parishioners will never hear stories from the thousands of Americans killed every year by illegal aliens. They won’t be sitting in the pews with those murdered and maimed in Boston last month by a conspiracy of immigrants.

Every few months since at least 2006, The New York Times takes time out from brow-beating Evangelicals to praise them for supporting amnesty for illegal aliens.

Most of the “Evangelicals” the Times cites are liberal frauds, far from “unlikely allies” in amnesty, as alleged. It is a specialty of the left to pose as something they’re not in order to create the impression of a zeitgeist. The only one I haven’t seen quoted yet is the ACLU’s minister, Barry Lynn.

The Times keeps touting Evangelicals for Amnesty as evidence of a “shift,” a “change of heart” and a “secret weapon.” Breaking the same news story every two months since 2006 isn’t a shift; it’s propaganda.

Any Evangelical promoting the McCain-Rubio amnesty plan has the moral framework of Planned Parenthood. Like the abortion lobby, they have boundless compassion for the people they can see, but none for those they can’t see.

One Evangelical after another told the Times that they no longer believe Americans should have control over who immigrates here on the basis of having met illegal aliens in their pews. The millions harmed by illegal immigration are left out of the equation. They don’t go to church here.

Denver police: Gang-related violence nearly doubles this year

Police have classified at least five of this year’s 19 homicides as gang-related or motivated. There had been three such killing at this time last year.


Officers investigate the scene of a shooting at a 7-Eleven near 6th and Federal Boulevard in Denver that left an eight-year-old boy critically wounded on April 29, 2013.

The number of gang-related violent crimes in Denver has nearly doubled in the first four months of this year, despite a police program aimed at encouraging gangsters to lead more peaceful lives.

The overall number of gang-related or motivated offenses has remained nearly steady in the first four months of this year compared to 2012, but police department figures show an increasing percentage of violent gang-related crimes. Aggravated assaults, for example, have more than doubled, from 47 between Jan. 1 and April 22, 2012 to 107 during the same period this year. In the first four months of 2012, there were 72 gang-related crimes against persons; in that same period this year there have been 132.

Police officials say it is too soon to gauge the success of the far-reaching Ceasefire program and that the numbers don’t tell the entire story.

But Dianne Cooks, whose son was paralyzed in a gang-related shooting in 2005, said the program has not gone far enough to curb gang violence.

Video: Enemies of the State

Bill Whittle walks viewers through the efforts by liberals to politicize murder and terror. Why does the left advance their paranoid mythologies about race and conservatism even when it is irrelevant to the issue at hand? Whether its the Newtown mass murder, or the Boston Marathon terror attacks by radical muslims, liberals always target America and forgive the real enemies. Hear why liberals and the mainstream media love to blame the Tea Party movement and the right for every wrong in America, on this Afterburner.

The Left’s Sick Fetish for Cop-Killing Radicals by Michelle Malkin

From Free Assata to Free Mumia to Free Jahar, the left’s police-bashing bloodlust is not just a sick joke. Their romanticizing of cold-blooded terrorism is a pathology. Twisted Dzhokhar Tsarnaev summed it up in three letters for his friends while still on the lam for committing a deadly terrorist attack, murdering a police officer and wounding another: “LOL.”

There’s a stomach-turning segment of the American population that sees surviving Boston bomber suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev as a romantic maverick. The New York Times mused about the accused jihadist’s “Holden Caulfield-like adolescent alienation.” Pop singer Amanda Palmer wrote a fan girl “Poem for Dzhokhar.” An adoring “Free Jahar” movement thrives on social media.


Joanne Chesimard

Fringe, you say? Think again. The fetish for cop-killing fugitives and cop-hating radicals is a mainstay of Hollywood, academia, the liberal media and Democratic Party circles. It has persisted for decades. It reared its head on May Day with rock-hurling anarchists in Seattle and D.C. shouting “F**k the pigs” and kicking cops. And consider the exaltation of the woman just named to the FBI’s Most Wanted Terrorist list, Joanne Chesimard.

On Thursday, the feds announced that they are doubling their reward for the capture of Chesimard (a.k.a. “Assata Shakur”). The former Black Panther and Black Liberation Army agitator has been a fugitive from justice for nearly 40 years and openly thumbs her nose at her victim’s family while living in Cuba as a political asylee. Congressional Black Caucus members have stubbornly protested extradition efforts, invoking the poisonous race card and deifying Chesimard as a “political prisoner.” Columbia University professor Marc Lamont Hill glorifies her as a “freedom fighter.”

Violence erupts at Virginia Beach Oceanfront (Video)

Multiple shootings and stabbings reported.

Violence erupted Saturday night and early Sunday morning at the Virginia Beach Oceanfront.
According to Virginia Beach Police, officers received 300 emergency calls in the area for service between 6 p.m. and 1 a.m., including three shootings, two stabbings and three robberies.

Grazia Moyers with the Virginia Beach Police Department told WAVY.com the first shooting occurred around 11:30 p.m. in the 2000 block of Atlantic Avenue. Moyers said a victim was struck in the leg/hip area but was uncooperative with police.

Hours later, the second shooting occurred in the 300 block of 33rd Street when a man sitting in a vehicle heard a loud noise and his window shattered around 3 a.m. The victim then noticed he’d been shot in the chest.

Less than 15 minutes later, another shooting occurred in the area of 27th Street and Atlantic Avenue after a verbal argument between two people. Moyers said the victim was struck in the face by a gun, which then discharged and he was hit in his face.

Hacked Up Body Of Photojournalist Found In Mexico

The Committee to Protect Journalists says in its latest report published in February that 12 Mexican journalists went missing in 2006-2012 and that in the same period 14 were killed because of their work. Mexico’s human rights commission lists 81 journalists who it says have been killed since 2000.


This undated image released on Thursday, April 25, 2013 by the newspaper Vanguardia de Saltillo shows Vanguardia staff photographer Daniel Martinez Bazaldua.

The assault on Mexico’s journalists continues as the hacked-up body of a photojournalist and and another young man have been found in the northern Mexico city of Saltillo, authorities said Thursday.

Photographer Daniel Martínez Bazaldua, 22, had recently been hired to cover social events for Vanguardia, the paper said in a story in its online edition. Officials identified the other man as Julian Zamora, 23.

Saltillo is in northern Coahuila state, an area where the Zetas drug cartel is active. Another Coahuila newspaper recently announced it would no longer publish stories about drug gangs, after receiving threats apparently signed by a Zetas leader.

State prosecutors said the bodies were found Wednesday in a jumbled pile of severed parts on a street, next to a hand-lettered message that appeared to indicate the Zetas were responsible for the killings.

2 shot in Asbury neighborhood ‘owned by gangs’

Gun violence is nothing new in Asbury Park, a 1.4-square-mile city. There were 43 shootings last year by late October, or one per week.

Two men were shot Thursday night at the corner of Mattison and DeWitt avenues, a neighborhood one resident said is “owned by gangs.”

The shootings bring to seven the number of people who have been shot in the city since the beginning of the year — three of those shootings were on or near DeWitt Avenue.

One shooting victim was identified as a 30-year-old man from Bridgeport, Conn., and the other was a 23-year-old local man, according to Charles Webster, a spokesman for the Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office.

Webster said he did not know whether the victims’ injuries were life-threatening.

Both men were rushed to Jersey Shore University Medical Center in Neptune and their conditions were not available as of 11 p.m.

“It’s the wild, wild West out here. The gangs own this neighborhood,” said Liam Boland, 47, who lives on DeWitt Avenue, and is the landlord for six homes in the neighborhood.
