"The Family Man"

Keith Scott WAS carrying a stolen gun, police say – and his wife filed for a restraining order against him saying he was armed, violent and had threatened to kill her

What a turn of events!

The only association he had with a 'book' was when he was booked for a crime.

------------

One thing for certain. Scott's wife is even a bigger scumbag than he was!

No Justice No Peace?

This is one lying bitch who should face justice in a court of law!

BTW...getting an apology from these fucks is about as likely as Kaepernick saluting the flag.

-----------------------------------------

Keith Scott was carrying a stolen gun when he was shot and killed during a confrontation with police in Charlotte, North Carolina, authorities have said.

The gun was reported stolen after a breaking and entering, according to the police.

A breaking and entering suspect told agents at the bureau of alcohol, tobacco, firearms and explosives that he had sold the gun to Scott, ABC 11 reported Monday. He is now in custody.

Scott's wife Rakeyia, who filmed her husband's killing on Tuesday, had filed for a restraining order against him and had told authorities he carried a gun, hit her as well as one of her children and had threatened to kill her, records have shown.

Another saint de-canonized.

Keith Scott (pictured), 43, died on Tuesday in Charlotte, North Carolina after a confrontation with police officers. Authorities say he was carrying a stolen gun at the time.

His wife Rakeyia, who filmed her husband's killing on Tuesday, had filed for a restraining order against him, as shown in this formed dated October 2015

Rakeyia detailed her husband's behavior in the filing in October last year. She said he had hit her and one of her children.

'He hit my 8 year old in the head a total of three times with is [sic] fist,' she wrote on the form published by TWC News.

'He kicked me and threaten [sic] to kill us last night with his gun. He said he is a "killer" and we should know that.'

The form asked whether there was any reason that law enforcement should consider the defendant a potential threat. Possible reasons included carrying concealed weapons while drinking alcohol and having threatened an officer.

Rakeyia ticked 'yes' and specified: 'He carries a 9mm black.'

Scott's gun was reported stolen after a breaking and entering, according to the police. Authorities released this picture after he died, saying they had found it in his possession

Charlotte police say they saw marijuana and a gun inside Scott's car before the shooting. They released this photo of a joint following his killing

Authorities also release this picture of an ankle holster, in which they say Scott kept a gun, which they say they recovered at the scene

She dismissed the protective order against Scott voluntarily on October 16, 11 days after filing it. The couple had seven children.

His friend Toccaro Harris said: 'It doesn't mean that he was bad. It doesn't mean that he had a right to get his life [taken].'

Scott, 43, had served more than eight years in Texas for evading arrest and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, according to TWC News.

He shot a man whom he believed was making threats against his family, according to his attorney.

Scott had also been convicted for assault with a deadly weapon and DWI in North Carolina. 

Police on Saturday released bits of footage of Scott's killing. Protesters have demanded they release the whole tapes.

None of the videos released so far show Scott raising a weapon or aiming it at the officers.

Scott instead can be seen walking backwards out of his car with his hands at his side before four shots hit him.

Officers can be heard in the video filmed by Scott's wife shouting: 'Drop the gun.' But the dashcam footage released by the policies doesn't make it clear whether or not Scott had a gun in his hand.

Charlotte police say they saw marijuana and a gun inside Scott's car before the shooting.

They released photos of the gun they said Scott had in his possession, as well as pictures of an ankle holster and a joint containing marijuana.

Scott's family said during a press conference that none of the shooting videos prove that Scott was holding a gun. Pictured left is his sister-in-law Rachel and center is his brother-in-law Ray

Hundreds of protesters have walked on Charlotte's streets since Scott's shooting. Some are pictured demanding the release of the videos

Authorities lifted a midnight curfew on Monday after three days. The city remains under a state of emergency. Protesters are pictured on Saturday

Scott's family said during a press conference following the release of the video that none of the videos prove that Scott was holding a gun at the time of the shooting.

'Unfortunately, we are left with far more questions than we have answers,' his brother-in-law Ray Dotch said after seeing the police footage ‘

'We shouldn't have to humanize him for him to be treated fairly. He's an American citizen who deserved better.

'It does not make sense to us how this incident resulted in the loss of life.'

He asked why the police didn't listen to Scott's wife, who said he had a traumatic brain injury.

Justin Bamberg, the family's lawyer, also said: 'The dash cam or the body cam, you can't clearly identify what, if anything, is in his hand, and that has not changed.'

Scott's family believe Charlotte police might need better training policies on how to de-escalate situations like the one that led to Scott's shooting.

The police are not in need of better training, what is needed is witnesses who are not lying dogs.

Editorial boards scramble to undercut Trump ahead of debate, as polls show dead heat

It certainly is no surprise the NYT's is supporting Killary. It does make you wonder how fucked up they are in the head. What has been Killary's neverending nightmare which starting in March of 2015. Her emails right? Who broke the story? 

The NYT's!

In fact, she has a Wikipedia page dedicated to it...

Hillary Clinton email controversy

The use of the word "controversy" is more than kind.

Just another page to join the rest of the Clinton scandals on Wikipedia... Monica, Benghazi, Whitewater, Vince Foster, Travelgate, etc. just to name a few. Oh...and wasn't it her husband who allowed (paid for) North Korean nukes just like Barry has done with Iran?

I guess her out and out whopper of a lie dodging bullets in the Bosnian Sniper Attack didn't make the grade. 
So after you read all this material, just like the NYT's, the only possible conclusion you could arrive at is she is the most eminently qualified person on the planet Earth to be president.

With a legacy like she has how can you go wrong?

----------------------------------

The New York Times and Washington Post editorial boards unleashed a broadside Monday against Donald Trump ahead of the first presidential debate, scrambling to make their case for why the Republican nominee should not be president as he gains on Hillary Clinton in the polls.

The Times, after endorsing Clinton over the weekend, went a step further with a new editorial titled, “Why He Should Not Be President.”

The 1,400-word essay sought to systematically knock down Trump’s own claims about his assets as a leader, describing him as a “man far more consumed with himself than with the nation's well-being.”

The Times wrote: “Voters attracted by the force of the Trump personality should pause and take note of the precise qualities he exudes as an audaciously different politician: bluster, savage mockery of those who challenge him, degrading comments about women, mendacity, crude generalizations about nations and religions.”

The warning comes ahead of the first formal face-off between Trump and Clinton, set for Monday night at Hofstra University in New York.

The debate comes as Trump pulls to near-even with the Democratic nominee in national polls and trades the lead with her in key battlegrounds. A Quinnipiac University national poll released Monday morning showed a virtual dead heat, with Clinton edging Trump among likely voters 44-43 percent.

The Republican’s rise in the polls has raised alarm among Democrats – and concern among his critics about the impact a strong debate performance could have.

The Washington Post, in its editorial, said “the stakes could not be higher,” but asserted that Trump has “amply demonstrated his unworthiness” to be president.

“It’s beyond his capacity in the upcoming 90-minute question-and-answer sessions to reverse or even substantially modify that conclusion,” the editorial board wrote.

The Times, likewise, said Trump “can't be believed.”

The Trump campaign, for its part, has dismissed the views of the Times' editorial board.

After the newspaper’s Clinton endorsement over the weekend, Trump spokesman Jason Miller issued a statement saying:

“The news that the ultra-liberal, elitist, out-of-touch New York Times Editorial Board endorsed an ultra-liberal, elitist, out-of-touch candidate in Hillary Clinton has to be some of the least surprising news ever. The New York Times’ Editorial Board is the embodiment of the rigged system Donald Trump is running against.”

The statement was titled, “The Sun Also Rose In The East This Morning.”

Sweet Request...Six year old NY boy asks Obama if Syrian boy can live with him

Yes, we can. The year is 2032. The headline around the country:

Radical Muslim Terrorist kills 14 at Georgia Mall

A statewide manhunt is under way for Omran Daqneesh caught on video during a killing spree at a mall in Augusta, Georgia. Daqneesh, who came to America as a refugee based upon a request from a NY boy to then President Obama asking if the young Syrian could live with his family is now being sought by law enforcement who they believe was the shooter. Sources close to the investigation reveal Daqneesh was radicalized at a local mosque and had close ties, corresponding with terrorist on the internet. When reached for a comment his father Jihadi Daqneesh said, "He never did anything wrong. He was a good boy who loved his country". Later when police investigated Omran Daqneesh's apartment they found... 

Could it happen? You be the judge.

 -------------------------------------

Omran Daqneesh's face, bloodied and bruised, has become an international symbol of the horrors inflicted on the war-ravaged northern city of Aleppo, Syria.

The 5-year-old Syrian boy -- rescued last month from a building hit by an airstrike -- might now have a home in the U.S. if a little boy from New York gets his way.

Alex, a 6-year-old boy from Scarsdale, N.Y., penned a letter to President Obama asking if Omran can come to the U.S. to live with his family and be his "brother." The Syrian boy lost his oldest brother when bombs came crashing down on his family's home in August. 

The White House on Wednesday posted a video of Alex reading his letter out loud inside his parents' home -- drawing more than 13 million views in one day.

"Dear President Obama. Remember the boy who was picked up by the ambulance in Syria?" the letter begins. "Can you please go get him and bring him to our home? Park in the driveway or on the streets and we'll be waiting for you guys with flags, flowers and balloons."

"We will give him a family and he will be our brother," Alex says.

The boy also mentions that he has a friend from Syria named Omar and says the three "can all play together."

"Catherine, my little sister, will be collecting butterflies and fireflies for him," he says. "We can invite him to birthday parties and he will teach us another language ... And I will share my bike and I will teach him how to ride it. I will teach him additions and subtractions in math."

Next to the video, posted to Obama's Facebook page, the president wrote: "These are the words of a six-year-old boy -- a young child who has not learned to be cynical or suspicious or fearful of other people because of where they come from, how they look, or how they pray."

"We should all be more like Alex," he wrote.

Obama also referenced Alex’s letter during his speech this week at the United Nations when addressing the international refugee crisis.

"He teaches us a lot," Obama said. "The humanity that a young child can display, who hasn’t learned to be cynical, or suspicious, or fearful of other people because of where they’re from, or how they look, or how they pray -- we can all learn from Alex."

The photo of a stunned and weary-looking Omar sitting in an orange chair inside an ambulance -- which was taken Aug. 17 -- encapsulates the violence inflicted on Syrians in Aleppo.

The boy had just been pulled from a damaged building after a Syrian government or Russian airstrike hit Aleppo’s Qaterji neighborhood. Omran was rescued along with two of his siblings and his mother and father from the rubble of their partially destroyed apartment building. His 10-year-old brother, Ali, died in a hospital days later.

Gary Johnson says humans must inhabit other planets

Gary Johnson may be running for President of the U.S., but the Libertarian candidate is aiming for the stars after after stating in a television interview that the future of the human race will require us learning to live on other planets.

'We do have to inhabit other planets. The future of the human race is space exploration,' Johnson, the former Governor of New Mexico told ABC News after being asked on how he would address the issues posed by climate change.

Five years ago Johnson was also asked about a comment he made about climate change back in 2011, when he said that 'in billions of years the sun is going to actually and encompass the earth.' 

Gary Johnson was asked for his thoughts on climate change during Sunday's interview

When asked about it on This Week, the Libertarian candidate said today that he had been joking at the time. 

'Can't we have a little humor once in a while?' he said. 'And that is long term. Plate tectonics, at one point Africa and South America separated, and I am talking now about the earth and the fact that we have existed for billions of years and will going forward.'

Johnson's stated position on climate change has been an acceptance of science, but a rejection of the notion that government or international treaties can solve the problem.

His remarks represent the third time in as many weeks that the Libertarian Party nominee has made a bizarre and eye-popping statement.

Out of his mind: Johnson claims that the human race will have to move to other planets in order to survive, so clearly he is looking beyond the current presidential race 

Earlier this month, Johnson's mind went blank after he was asked during an interview on MSNBC's Morning Joe how he would handle the humanitarian crisis in the Syrian city of Aleppo, one of the worst-hit in the nation's devastating civil war.

'What would you do, if you were elected, about Aleppo?' commentator Mike Barnicle asked. 

'And what is Aleppo?' a confused Johnson replied.

'You're kidding,' Barnicle said. 'Aleppo is in Syria, it's the epicenter of the refugee crisis.'

'Okay. Got it. Got it,' Johnson said, before detailing his concerns for Syria.

Last week, Johnson misspoke when he said he was glad that 'nobody got hurt' in the Chelsea explosion and Minnesota stabbing attacks that left dozens of people injured.

Johnson won't be able to join Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump on Monday nights first presidential debate after polling less than 15 percent, the minimum set by the Commission on Presidential Debates, a decision which he criticized.

'The panel is made up of Republicans and Democrats that just have no intention whatsoever in seeing anyone other than a Republican or Democrat on the debate stage,' he said. 

If he reaches the 15 percent threshold in polls later in the fall, he would become eligible to participate in subsequent debates.

Recently he has been drawing an average of 9 percent average in polls, and just 5 per cent in between hits of bath salts in the most recent ABC News/Washington Post poll published on Sunday.
