Daniel Penny, the former US Marine charged with manslaughter, and subsequently criminally negligent homicide for subduing Jordan Neely in a chokehold, which ultimately led to his death, has been found not guilty on all charges by a New York City jury.
BLM agitators in the court immediately began screeching.
The meltdown continued online, with Bluecry users losing their shit.
The former head of Black Lives Matter of Greater Atlanta has been sentenced to prison on charges of wire fraud and money laundering.
WTVG reports that Tyree Conyers-Page, also known as Sir Maejor Page, was sentenced to serve 42 months in prison in Ohio on Thursday.
Prosecutors said that Page took money donated to his organization through Facebook and used it for travel, personal items, and a home in Toledo, Ohio.
In court, Page claimed some of the money he spent on his own lifestyle was part of a “reasonable salary” for managing the organization – though he admitted to prosecutors he never consulted anyone with the organization about what his pay should have been, the Toledo Blade reported.
Page had been found guilty on one count of wire fraud and three counts of money laundering in April after a six-day trial.
The far-left activist organization Black Lives Matter is calling out Democrats for anointing Vice President Kamala Harris as the party’s presumptive nominee for president without voter’s getting a chance to actually vote. They are calling on the Democratic National Convention “to create a process that allows for public participation in the nomination process, not just a nomination by party delegates.”
On Tuesday, the radical group that was responsible for much of the riots and unrest across the US in the summer of 2020, said in a statement, “A 24-hour process of talking to party bosses is not democratic, nor is it a process Democrats should be proud of.” House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries insisted that Harris was not a installed by the party “top down,” but that “she earned the nomination from the grassroots.”
BLM, which is the grassroots, called out the party for refusing to host debates during the primary which would have “likely allowed America to see the decline of Joe Biden.”
It also slammed Democrats for changing “the primary schedule and created ruled that made it almost impossible for non-Biden candidates to appear on the ballot effectively clearing the field of any challengers.”
The group also said that “after one poor debate performance, The DNC’s elites and billionaire donors bullied Joe Biden out of the race.” BLM also accused the Democratic party of eroding democracy. “We do not live in a dictatorship. Delegates are not oligarchs. Installing Kamala Harris as the Democratic nominee and an unknown vice president without any public voting process would make the modern Democratic Party a party of hypocrites,” the group added.
The group then demanded that the party it usually aligns with “…immediately host an informal, virtual snap primary across the country prior to the DNC convention in August.”
A California judge has ruled that teachers were right to punish a seven-year-old girl over a Black Lives Matter drawing because ‘she’s too young to have First Amendment rights.’
The first grader was banned from recess and drawing pictures at Viejo Elementary in Orange County after she added the words ‘any life’ below Black Lives Matter on a picture she drew and and gave to a black friend.
The picture showed the words ‘Black Lives Matter’ with four round shapes in various different tones of brown, beige and yellow, which was intended to ‘represent her friends’ who were ‘racially-mixed’.
The girl’s family filed a lawsuit last year against the Capistrano Unified School District, claiming her First Amendment Rights were violated during the 2021 incident.
But US Central District Court Judge David Card ruled that ‘Students have the right to be free from speech that denigrates their race while at school’. Card added that the drawing was not protected by the First Amendment because of the age of the girl, named B.B. in the suit, as reported by the San Francisco Chronicle.
Judge Card wrote: ‘An elementary school … is not a marketplace of ideas… Thus, the downsides of regulating speech there is not as significant as it is in high schools, where students are approaching voting age and controversial speech could spark conducive conversation.’
Moreover, Judge Card wrote, ‘a parent might second-guess (the principal’s) conclusion, but his decision to discipline B.B. belongs to him, not the federal courts.’
Card added that ‘Undoubtedly, B.B.’s intentions were innocent… B.B. testified that she gifted the Drawing to M.C. to make her feel comfortable after her class learned about Martin Luther King Jr.’
B.B. was punished by her school after her friend, known as M.C. in the suit, took the picture home, where a parent saw it and found it offensive, emailing the school and demanding they take action.
This prompted principal Jesus Becerra to tell B.B. the drawing was inappropriate and racist. He then punished B.B. by making her publicly apologize on the playground to her classmates and teachers. B.B. was also banned from recess and from drawing pictures for two weeks.
New documents reveal that insiders at the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation (BLMGNF) have had millions of dollars in contracts issued to companies they own.
The Daily Caller first reported that the nation’s largest BLM organization authorized massive contracts to firms owned by leaders of the organization and their family members between July 2022 and June 2023.
BLMGNF paid BOWERS, a consulting firm that is at least 35% owned by Shalomyah Bowers, the secretary of BLMGNF’s board, nearly $2.6 million during the time frame for “staffing and management services,” according to tax filings.
Bowers is also the treasurer of the Black Lives Matter Political Action Committee, the PAC affiliated with BLMGNF. In 2023, the majority of the PAC’s expenses were directed by Bowers towards paying his own firm for “strategic consulting services.”
A Texas man convicted of shooting a Black Lives Matter protestor dead during the 2020 riots has received a pardon.
Daniel Perry, a US Army Sergeant, was found guilty in April 2023 of murdering protestor Garrett Foster in Austin, and was sentenced to 25 years in prison.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott requested the parole board looked into his case to discuss a possible pardon just days later, which led to a unanimous approval vote that was announced Thursday.
In a statement after the vote was announced, Abbott cited Texas’ ‘Stand Your Ground’ laws, which allow people to use deadly force if they feel they are in imminent danger.
‘Texas has one of the strongest ‘Stand Your Ground’ laws of self-defense that cannot be nullified by a jury or a progressive District Attorney,’ Abbott said.
‘I thank the Board for its thorough investigation, and I approve their pardon recommendation.’
The latter decades of the Ottoman empire are occasionally held up as a golden age of pluralism and tolerance; in some respects, they were, particularly after the British put the kibosh on the lion’s share of the Arab slave trade. The empire’s non-Turkish, non-Muslim populations were organized into millets, or “nations,” governed by the laws particular to their religious and national groups. Armenians, Syrian Christians, Greek Orthodox, a variety of Jews, Arab Catholics—all were able to practice their religions and participate in public life with relative impunity under their own leaders, who answered to the sovereign of the sublime House of Osman, sultan of sultans, khan of khans, kalif, padishah, etc., who generally had more pressing concerns than micromanaging the affairs of the millets.
The problem was that the Ottoman state didn’t end up doing the things we expect states to do very well at all. Inefficient revenue-collection techniques and the marginalization of the Silk Road as a central trade route sent the fisc into a long period of decline. The farther-flung polities notionally under the suzerainty of the Sublime Porte did more or less whatever they wanted, including committing various violations of the rights of the millets. (The Iraqi Jewish Sassoons, the great trading dynasty of the 19th century, fled Baghdad for British India because of the depredations of the Mamluks, who were so independent as to wage occasional wars on the central government in Istanbul.) Various Western powers exploited the independence of the millets to meddle in Ottoman internal affairs under the guise of “protection.” This administrative and fiscal chaos meant that the sultan had difficulty doing things like fielding a modern army, which became a serious, even thematic weakness in the First World War.
The aftermath is well known: the last-ditch Ottoman efforts to modernize and homogenize, which featured what are characterized as the first modern genocides; and the failure of those efforts, which led to the collapse of the empire. The secularism, nationalism, and official monoculturalism of the modern Republic of Turkey, particularly the enforcement of Turkish language use irrespective of ethnic background, were ultimately a reaction to the failure of the millet system. The unified nation-state is the way we moderns have balanced the particular and the universal in human society. It hasn’t been perfect, but it has worked.
In one of the characteristic backwards steps from more sophisticated to less sophisticated political systems in the past 60 years, the Western world has moved away from nationalism and embraced milletization, particularly in the face of mass immigration. Western milletization has some peculiar twists, though. First, it is everywhere inflected through the peculiarities of American racial dynamics, even in places where those dynamics are almost unintelligible. (Why were there Black Lives Matter marches in Sweden, where there is no history of African slavery and blacks make up less than 1 percent of the population?) Second, the institutions of the nation are themselves identified with “whiteness,” which is denigrated, but those institutions are then expected to be used to dole out compensatory privileges to historically disfavored millets.
A Black Lives Matter activist who was charged with attempted murder last week following an alleged assassination attempt on a Jewish mayoral candidate exhibited anti-Semitic views on social media.
Quintez Brown, 21, was arrested and charged with attempted murder shortly after Monday’s shooting in Louisville, Kentucky, in which Democratic candidate Craig Greenberg narrowly avoided the bullet.
But he was released from prison and placed under house arrest just two days after the shooting when a BLM chapter, the Louisville Community Bail Fund, posted his $100,000 bond.
In the months leading up to the shooting, Brown’s social media posts showed an increasing interest in Black nationalist and pan-Africanist leaders, and last week he appeared to encourage his followers to join the Lion of Judah Armed Forces.
The group shares similar ideas to the Black Hebrew Israelite movement, which claims that Black Americans are the true descendants of the Biblical Hebrews and has been associated with several murders of Jews in the US.
Brown was one of 22 people chosen to meet the former President of the United States in 2019 as part of Obama’s My Brother’s Keeper Alliance, which is aimed at closing achievement gaps facing young boys and men of color.
He also made regular appearances on the BBC to discuss race matters in the US, and was running as an independent candidate for Louisville’s metro council.
Yet another Black Lives Matter activist has been convicted of defrauding donors out of hundreds of thousands of dollars.
In a press release on Thursday, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Ohio confirmed that Sir Maejor Page, 35, of Toledo, was convicted wire fraud and three counts of money laundering following a six-day trial.
The release stated:
According to court documents and testimony, in 2016, Page created a Facebook page for “Black Lives Matter of Greater Atlanta” (“BLMGA”) and registered this organization as a domestic non-profit with the Georgia Secretary of State Corporation’s Division. In 2017, the IRS approved Page’s request granting BLMGA tax-exempt status under Section 503(c)(3) of the tax code, but dissolved this status in 2019.
Page nonetheless accepted donations after falsely portraying BLMGA to the public as a legitimate charity engaged in social justice work, when in fact, it was not. Instead, Page used the money that individual donors gave to BLMGA not for social justice causes, but rather to buy items for his own personal use, such as a house and furniture. Page also committed money-laundering crimes when he bought these items with the donations that he fraudulently obtained.
United States Attorney Rebecca C. Lutzko, for the Northern District of Ohio also weighed in on the verdict:
The United States Attorney’s Office prioritizes the prosecution of white-collar criminal conduct, particularly conduct involving deceptive schemes that selfishly exploit a charitable donor’s goodwill for personal gain.
The donors to BLMGA thought they were giving their hard-earned money to a cause they believed in. But instead of using it to support that cause, Page used it for himself. The jury’s verdict is a warning to every fraudster that when you misrepresent how donations or other money given to you in trust will be used, you will be prosecuted and punished.
According to The New York Times, Page stole around $450,000.
Maejor Page, also known as Tyree Conyers-Page, faces trial on charges of swindling donors out of $500,000 in a fundraising scheme linked to the Black Lives Matter movement.
Prosecutors allege that Page, a former actor who gained prominence as a Black Lives Matter activist, misappropriated funds raised through a GoFundMe campaign initiated under the banner of Black Lives Matter of Greater Atlanta.
The accusations against Page include wire fraud and two counts of money laundering, marking a serious legal ordeal for the 35-year-old, who has had minor roles in television shows like American Horror Story and Constantine.
Investigators say Page, who claims he’s the “world’s sexiest albino,” diverted the funds for personal use, splurging on luxury items such as tailored suits, firearms, and a residence in Toledo, Ohio. Despite Page’s defense attorney’s claims that a portion of the funds was intended for charitable purposes, testimony from an FBI agent suggests otherwise.
Funds from the charity account were allegedly used to cover personal expenses, including lavish dining and retail expenditures, raising doubts about Page’s purported altruism.
