Seventh Suspect Arrested in Cincinnati Mob Attack Against White Couple

A seventh suspect was arrested in connection with the Cincinnati mob attack against a white couple attending a jazz festival late last month.

Gregory Wright, 32, was arrested and charged with one count of aggravated riot and aggravated robbery.

The other six suspects indicted are (via WXIX):

  • Aisha Devaughn, 26, of Evanston
  • Dominique Kittle, 37, of Walnut Hills
  • Jermaine Matthews, 39, of East Price Hill
  • Montianez Merriweather, 34, of South Cumminsville
  • Patrick Rosemond, 38, of Reading
  • Dekyra Vernon, 24, of Evanston

WXIX reported:

Cincinnati police have arrested the seventh suspect in connection with what Cincinnati’s police chief calls a “violent attack” Downtown, according to Hamilton County court officials.

Court documents show that Gregory Wright, 32, is facing one count of aggravated riot and aggravated robbery.

Jail records show that he was booked into the jail at 4:30 p.m. Monday.

The Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky Crime Stoppers posted on their Facebook page on Friday that police were searching for the seventh suspect, who has now been confirmed to be Wright.

Central Business District Commander Adam Hennie claims that the suspect took a gold chain off the victim’s neck while he is being beaten on the ground.

“The suspect then walks away from the location and places property in his pocket, then proceeds to film the rest of the events,” Commander Hennie said.

Cincinnati mob violence victim who goes by ‘Holly,’ blasted Democrat leaders for being soft on crime during a press conference with GOP Ohio Senator Bernie Moreno last Wednesday.

Last week Holly said she is suffering “very bad” brain trauma after the horrific attack by a mostly black mob at a jazz festival last weekend.

Trans sex offender escapes prosecution after trying to kidnap child during elementary school recess

A transgender registered sex offender will escape prosecution after he tried to kidnap a child from a Colorado schoolyard — thanks to a controversial law that has faced criticism from prosecutors and even the suspect’s lawyer.

Solomon Galligan — who now reportedly goes by Carmen — was found by doctors to be mentally incompetent after he allegedly attempted to snatch the 11-year-old boy during recess at Black Forest Hills Elementary School in Aurora in April 2024.

And because the suspected creep can’t be “restored” to competency, according to his evaluation, the judge overseeing Galligan case was left with no choice but to dismiss the charges under a 2024 amendment to the state’s much-maligned competency law.

After years in and out of the criminal justice system, Galligan, 33, now could again find himself back on the streets, Ryan Brackley, who prosecuted the case as the assistant district attorney in Colorado’s 18th Judicial District, told The Post.

And victims and criminal justice advocates alike are sounding the alarm over the threat.

Manslaughter, Arson, Hate Crimes — See All The Crimes Suspects In New York Now Get Released For Under Bail Reform

As New York celebrates the start of 2020, a host of new laws are taking effect at midnight — including one releasing scores of potentially dangerous suspects from jail and back onto city streets.

New York’s bail reform law eliminates pretrial detention and cash bail for the vast majority of misdemeanor and non-violent felony cases. Hundreds of offenses such as stalking, grand larceny, assault as a hate crime, and second degree manslaughter will no longer be eligible for bail or pretrial detention.

“They eliminated bail but they never put in the safeguard we need of allowing a judge to assess dangerousness and the result is we’ve got some glaring loopholes that will go into effect,” Mark Peters warned.

CBS2’s Urban Affairs Expert says this sets New York apart from other states, such as New Jersey, which have also eliminated cash bail.

“So someone can walk up to someone on the street punch them in the face and if they haven’t done lasting physical injury there’s no bail available… they’ll be let out that day they can go punch someone the next day,” Peters added.

“I’m Trying to Hold My Temper” – Race Baiting MSNBC Commentator TRIGGERED by Trump’s Crackdown on Crime in DC, Blames Obsession with Black Lives Matter and “Racial Politics” to Distract from Epstein Story

Eddie Glaude, an Ivy League critical race theory and African American studies professor at Princeton, went on MSNBC on Monday to condemn President Trump’s federalization of DC’s Metropolitan Police Department, blaming racism and Jeffrey Epstein for the move. 

“I’m trying to hold my temper,” Glaude told MSNBC’s Chris Jansing in response to the President’s comments during a press conference earlier. “I think there’s an ongoing argument that he’s having in his head with Black Lives Matter.”

It should be noted that in 2021, over 96% of suspects in Washington, DC homicides and nonfatal shootings were black, according to a National Institute for Criminal Justice Reform report.

“He really doesn’t really care about what’s actually happening in DC… because he’s not trying to get at the underlying root causes,” Glaude continued.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, President Trump announced on Monday that he is taking federal control over DC’s Metropolitan Police Department and authorizing the use of national guard troops to solve the “public safety emergency” in the nation’s capital.

Trump also called on Republicans in Congress to change the statutes to get rid of “no cash bail” and “some of the other things” that empower criminals in DC and other major cities across the nation.

“This city will no longer be a sanctuary for illegal alien criminals. We will have full, seamless, integrated cooperation at all levels of law enforcement, and we’ll deploy officers across the district with an overwhelming presence,” Trump said.

United States Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro went off earlier on the “young punks” that are terrorizing the city and revealed that minors are not even being prosecuted for violent crime but, instead, receiving a slap on the wrist and released back into the community.

Journalist Notes ‘Tone Deaf’ Disconnection Between Democrats and Reality on Crime in DC

Alex Thompson of Axios took apart the new argument from Democrats that crime in Washington, DC is down, noting that their approach is tone deaf.

He says that while Democrats point to statistics, their numbers don’t match the feeling of regular people in the city who do not feel safe.

A co-panelist then jumps in to say that this is very much like last year, when Democrats kept insisting that the economy was great, which didn’t match with people’s feelings.

Partial transcript via Curtis Houck on Twitter/X:

“What’s striking is that national Democrats are not following Mayor Bowser’s lead on this, and that national Democrats have been insisting, ‘just look at the statistics. We have 30 year, 30 year low, you know, violent crime’…I’ve talked to Democrat strategists today that think that, you know, national Democrats saying, ‘look at the statistics’ is sort of a tone deaf way to react.”

“And it’s very much — isn’t this the exact same problem that Democrats had last year? ‘Look at the statistics! We promise you the economy is great’ while people are going, ‘it doesn’t feel great to me.’ That feels like a lot of this conversation around crime that you can point to statistics all day long that say, ‘hey, D.C. is safer this year than it was last year,’ but do people feel safe? Bottom line, if they don’t, they may be more okay with something that would otherwise be considered extraordinary.”

Dem Lawmaker Arrested For Shoplifting From Target Once Again

Connecticut State Rep. Raghib Allie-Brennan (D) is facing fresh criminal charges after allegedly stealing from a Target store for the second time this summer — and from the same location as his first arrest just weeks ago.

Allie-Brennan, 33, turned himself in to police on July 28 after a warrant was issued for an incident at the Bethel, Connecticut Target — about 30 miles from Bridgeport. According to an arrest affidavit, a store security guard saw the lawmaker “concealing items into the Goodfellow bag that he had selected.” The total value of the merchandise was $54.55, the CT Mirror reported.

Store Recognized Him From “Previous Unreported Larcenies”

Target employees told police they recognized Allie-Brennan from earlier unreported thefts. The four-term Democrat, first elected in 2018, has not made any statements beyond a Facebook post claiming he is taking “full responsibility” and working to “resolve the matter quickly and respectfully.”

He was released on a promise to appear in state Superior Court on August 5.

Second Arrest in Weeks

In June, Allie-Brennan was arrested for allegedly stealing $26 worth of merchandise from the same store. At the time, he claimed two items “were not scanned” during checkout and that he was “in a rush” to bring them to his hospitalized grandmother.

Following that first arrest, he was charged with sixth-degree larceny.

Calls for Resignation

Connecticut Republican Party Chairman Ben Proto called on Allie-Brennan to resign. “It is regrettable that, once again, a Democrat member of the Connecticut General Assembly has found themselves in handcuffs… Representative Allie-Brennan should step down from his position.”

Democratic House Speaker Matt Ritter said the lawmaker will take personal time away from the legislature “to deal with the legal, political and personal ramifications” of the situation.

UK Announces Plans for Immediate Deportation of Migrant Criminals

British Justice Secretary Shabana Mahmood announced plans to pass legislation allowing for the immediate deportation of foreign criminals from the United Kingdom.

Amid increasing anger over the ramifications of the mass migration agenda imposed on the country by both Westminster establishment parties, the left-wing Labour government said on Saturday that part of its “Plan for Change” will see migrant criminals deported and barred from return rather than allowing them to serve their sentences in Britain.

The planned legislation would potentially mean that foreign convicts could avoid jail time altogether if their country of origin refuses to enforce the sentence handed down by a UK court, the BBC noted.

While most foreign convicts would become immediately eligible for deportation — down from the current standard of having served at least half their sentence in a British jail, murderers, terrorists, and anyone else deemed to pose a national security threat would not be eligible for removal until they served their full term behind bars in the UK.

At present, around 12 per cent of Britain’s prison population is comprised of foreign offenders, or over 10,000 migrants. According to the government, each prisoner costs the taxpayer an average of £54,000 per year.

In addition to alleviating costs, the move would potentially free up badly needed space in the nation’s prisons, which have been running at near capacity for years.

Indeed, during last summer’s anti-mass migration riots and protests in the wake of the Southport mass stabbing, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer’s government controversially released prisoners early to make space for those convicted in connection to the riots, including some who merely made posts on social media.

President Trump Deploys 120 FBI Agents to Washington DC Streets to Combat Violent Crime and Carjackings

President Donald Trump has authorized the deployment of 120 FBI agents to the streets of DC to help local law enforcement fight crime.

The move to utilize the FBI for street crime comes amid Trump’s promise to make DC “one of the safest cities in America.”

This unprecedented step comes amid escalating concerns over public safety in the city, where residents and visitors alike have faced heightened threats under previous administrations’ lax policies.

The agents, primarily from the Washington Field Office, will be reassigned from counterintelligence and public corruption divisions to overnight patrol shifts with DC police officers, according to a report from The Washington Post.

This deployment is part of a broader federal initiative, with reports indicating that nearly 450 federal officers from agencies including the FBI, the Drug Enforcement Administration, the Marshals Service, and the Park Police have been mobilized across the district.

NYPD on MANHUNT for WNBA sex-toy throwing suspect in Beavis and Butthead shirt

Police are looking for a man who threw a lime-green sex toy during a WNBA New York Liberty home game, narrowly missing a 12-year-old girl, according to the NYPD.

The incident happened Tuesday at Barclays Center during the Liberty’s matchup against the Dallas Wings. Security footage released by Crime Stoppers shows the suspect wearing a “Beavis and Butthead” T-shirt, a red and black hat, black shorts, and displaying tattoos on both arms.

Witnesses said the object was launched from a higher row in section 116, where the girl was seated with her mother. “The object was thrown from someone much higher up but definitely in the same section,” a fan in the area told the New York Post. “When it landed, the girl started screaming/freaking out (understandably) for like 30 [seconds] and got the attention of most people within the surrounding rows.”

The sex toy did not make it to the court but instead landed near a mother and her child. Barclays Center staff removed it quickly, and the game continued. The Liberty went on to defeat the Wings 85–76.

This was one of two WNBA games that night where a similar incident occurred. In Los Angeles, Indiana Fever player Sophie Cunningham was struck by a green sex toy during a game against the Sparks.

NJ Township’s Parents Could Face Jail Time for Repeat Child Lawbreakers

New Jersey’s Gloucester Township enacted an ordinance on July 28 that holds parents accountable for their children’s lawbreaking activities.

The parents could face fines of $2,000 and the possibility of 90 days behind bars if their children continually misbehave, NJ.com reported on Friday.

“The ordinance includes 28 offenses that could make caretakers liable. They range from felonies, loitering, breaking curfew and chronic truancy to immorality, habitual vagrancy, and knowingly associating with immoral people,” the article read.

The report said teenagers and juveniles in the area have been committing a variety of offenses. The town’s 2024 Gloucester Township Day was upended when over 500 minors were involved in a brawl that spilled over to a shopping plaza.

Police arrested nine teenagers among 11 others they took into custody. In addition, three officers were hurt as a result of the chaos.

“It’s happening all over. I think it was in Ocean City, there’s another part of Philadelphia that had to shut down their little fairs because of fighting going on. And it’s happening a lot nowadays, so it’s very scary,” a neighbor in Gloucester Township told ABC 6 after the community event went downhill.
