Guess the race of the perp.... A 73-year-old New York City man was shoved to the ground from behind in a broad daylight robbery attempt in Midtown Manhattan on Sunday morning, authorities said. The incident began around 10:45 a.m. inside a convenience store on 8th Avenue when the victim purchased lottery tickets, police said. An unidentified male allegedly tried to grab the victim’s wallet out of his hands while he paid for the tickets. Nevermind, you know.

A repeat offender accused of punching, kicking and flinging a Filipino man against a wall during a Manhattan robbery earlier this week has not been charged with assault, according to reports. Rasheed Osundairo, 30, reportedly attacked his victim at a McDonald’s self-serve kiosk on Seventh Avenue at around 7:40 a.m. on Monday. Security footage shows him fleeing the scene after taking the man’s phone and wallet. The victim, identified as 53-year-old Melvin Dizon, suffered a severe head injury and was taken to Bellevue Hospital in critical but stable condition. Speaking to the New York Daily News from his hospital bed, Dizon claimed that no one tried to help him: “I was hoping people were going to help me, but they didn’t… they were just watching and they didn’t get involved. I guess they’re scared.” The incident marked the second anti-Filipino attack in Manhattan in two days. On Tuesday, the Philippine Consulate General in New York issued a warning for Filipino residents and called on authorities to “do more” to ensure public safety. Osundairo was arrested on Tuesday after an off-duty police officer recognized him on the subway. He was charged with robbery. Despite reportedly beating up his victim, however, Osundairo has not been charged with assault. The incident is also not being investigated as a hate crime. Police sources noted that Osundairo has nearly two dozen prior run-ins with the authorities. He was paroled in December 2016 after being sent to prison for an attempted robbery. In one prior incident, Osundairo allegedly bit the tip of a teenager’s nose off inside a Queens deli and then attempted to eat it. Police said the teenager was trying to defend his mother, who was being hit by Osundairo with a stick. After Tuesday’s arrest, Osundairo was charged with assault for another incident that occurred on the subway on March 23. He was also charged with criminal possession of stolen property for the items that police found on him during his Tuesday arrest. Osundairo was reportedly undergoing psychiatric evaluation as of Wednesday.

Octavious Rodgers is behind bars after police said he shot his ex-girlfriend’s boyfriend, strangled her son and tried to kill her too. Neighbors said tensions began to reach new heights in the last week. Saturday, police said Rodgers showed up to his ex’s house with an AK-47-style rifle, fired it in the air, then walked up to this large window. An affidavit said he used the gun to shatter the window. The large shards of glass scattered down in the walkway. “I had my nephew and niece in the backyard with me. I had them come in the house and get down on the ground,” a neighbor said. When the first gunshot rang out and shattered glass hit the ground on Willow Woods Avenue on Saturday, this neighbor, who asked us to conceal his identity, gathered his family and ran for safety. “I seen him beating on the window after he bust the rest of the windows out. Then he jumped in his truck and pulled off,” the neighbor said. Memphis Police said Rodgers shot up his ex-girlfriend’s house. They said a few days earlier he strangled her 8-year-old son when he tried to defend his mother with a knife. “If you’re choking a child out, you have a demon in you,” said Drip Manns, a neighbor. But, he didn’t stop there, according to police. Investigators said he drove over to his ex-girlfriend’s boyfriend’s house on Paullus Avenue. The police report said Rodger shot up that house, too. The proof, the bullet holes in this white Infinity and the shattered glass on the driver’s seat. “I’m going to pray for him, the city, help, uplift him,” said Manns. One of the many bullets hit the current boyfriend in the leg, police said. He’s recovering from his injury. Rodgers faces second-degree attempted murder, five counts of aggravated assualt, child abuse and a laundry list of other charges. Neighbors are relieved he is behind bars. “It will give him an opportunity to get himself right,” said Manns. Deborah Clubb is an advocate for domestic violence survivors. She said she’s all too familiar with stories like this. “We need a more comprehensive, targeted approach to deal with those repeat offenders in the realm of intimate partner violence,” Clubb said. Rodgers is facing a slew of aggravated assault charges for shooting at adults and kids, but only one attempted murder charge for shooting his ex’s boyfriend in the leg.

A community is speaking out after hearing of a rideshare driver being carjacked and shot in their neighborhood. Police said the incident happened Saturday night at 3600 Beechollow Drive in Windermere Woods near Raleigh. Police said 24-year-old Christopher Grays answered the call when four strangers requested a ride from Frayser through a Facebook rideshare group. Police said the suspects got in the car with Grays and asked him to take them to the apartment complex. According to the police affidavit, Grays reported things started to get suspicious when he asked one of the riders for the money for the ride he provided. One of the riders responded that she did not have the money to pay. That’s when, according to the police report, one of the other riders pulled a gun and shot Grays, the bullet hitting him in the wrist. Police said the riders told Grays to get out of the car before fleeing with his white Volvo. Grays’ brother, Kenneth Grays, didn’t want to say much about how his brother was doing after the incident, but he does acknowledge a higher power for helping his sibling make it out of the situation alive. “I definitely say God had his hand in it because I could have lost my brother that day,” Grays said, “I’m very thankful to my God.” According to the police report, the Memphis Police Department got the call around 9:30 Saturday night of a shooting in the area. Police identified the suspects as 19-year-old Dawone Washington, 20-year old Zarena Farris, 19-year old Trinity Tipton, and an unnamed minor.

Milwaukee activist Khalil Coleman on Friday was found guilty of first-degree robbery in Kenton County Court, Kentucky. Coleman was also found not guilty in a lesser charge of unlawful transaction with a minor. The conviction was first reported by conservative site Wisconsin Right Now. The jury recommended Coleman be sentenced 10 years in prison, though the charges could lead up to 20 years. He will be sentenced by a judge on a later date. Coleman was one of three arrested, including a minor, in February 2021 by Elsmere police officers. According to Elsmere Police Chief Joe Maier, the group allegedly attempted to rob a drug house. “They went to a drug house to rob a drug house,” Maier said. “One of the occupants went up to the drug house and had a Glock handgun with a 50-round magazine drum. ... When it didn’t work they hurried up and left the scene, jumped in a white vehicle and left.” As they were leaving, Maier said the group got boxed in by a snowplow and were stopped by police. Maier said two handguns and material suspected to be heroin and marijuana were found in the car. Coleman was the driver of the car. He and Joshua Clarey, 24, of New Berlin, coerced a man who was 17 at the time to go to an alleged drug house and steal money. Kenton County Commonwealth Attorney Rob Sanders told Wisconsin Right Now that he believes the verdict was correct based on overwhelming proof that Coleman planned and participated in the armed home invasion robbery. He also said that the juvenile in the robbery was only months from their 18th birthday and that the jury was not convinced Coleman knew he was a juvenile. Coleman was a leader of marches in Milwaukee against police brutality during the summer of 2020, after George Floyd was killed by a police officer in Minneapolis.

F red China
Yermo, Calif.
The roadside attraction is an American invention, and none could be more quintessentially American than the one abutting the northbound lane of Interstate 15, smack dab in the middle of the Mojave Desert.
Liberty Statue Park is an open-air memorial to the human desire for freedom. Located on a 36-acre tract, it was founded in 2017 by Chinese-born dissident artist Weiming Chen. The first sculpture Mr. Chen, 66, made for the space was a 15-foot-high bust of the Native American warrior Crazy Horse. In 2018 Mr. Chen added a statue of Li Wangyang, a Chinese labor activist who died under mysterious circumstances in 2012.
The following year, he created what the park heralds as “the world’s largest monument to the 1989 Tiananmen Massacre.” The sculpture stands atop a bronze-relief mural depicting scenes from June 4, 1989, when the Chinese government brutally suppressed a peaceful pro-democracy demonstration in the heart of Beijing. Another statue, “Tank Man,” is a life-size portrayal of the moment an unidentified man holding a briefcase defiantly stared down a column of tanks at Tiananmen.
On June 4, 2021, Mr. Chen added his most provocative piece. “CCP Virus” was an arrestingly macabre bust of Xi Jinping, depicting the Chinese Communist Party chief’s head as a giant coronavirus molecule. The next month, the fiberglass statue was burned to the ground. Mr. Chen didn’t hesitate to assign blame. “Something like this is not a personal action but a Chinese government action against us and the American system of free speech,” he said in a statement to the press. “They want the truth about the origins of the COVID-19 virus to be hidden from the world.”
In February I paid a visit to Liberty Sculpture Park, where a handmade “No Communists Allowed” sign marks the entrance. After a personal tour, I accompanied Mr. Chen and some of his fellow Chinese-born democracy activists for dinner at Peggy Sue’s 50’s Diner, a kitschy eatery adjoining the park. With its Elvis statues, Marilyn Monroe posters and other tchotchkes of midcentury Americana, it was the perfect setting for a lesson in the importance of democracy from people who understand its preciousness all too well.
As we waited for our meatloaf and chicken-fried steak, with Neil Diamond’s “Sweet Caroline” playing, Mr. Chen and his comrades bemoaned America’s fecklessness in the face of mounting Chinese repression at home and aggression abroad. Had I seen Speaker Nancy Pelosi, a longtime advocate of democracy in China, warn U.S. Olympians not to offend their Communist hosts with protests over human rights? Could one imagine her issuing a similar rebuke to National Football League players protesting on behalf of Black Lives Matter?
Jonas Yuan, 33, serves as the park’s official photographer. He told me that unless America is willing to stand up to China, “We will be the last generation to know freedom.” Mr. Yuan is willing to put his own body on the line, proudly displaying a photograph of himself and Mr. Chen on an armed night patrol of the park to protect it from further vandalism. After dinner, Mr. Chen brought me to his studio, where we were greeted by his dogs, appropriately named “Freedom” and “Fighter.”
Last month federal prosecutors unsealed charges against five men, accusing them of acting on behalf of the Chinese Ministry of State Security to “stalk, harass, and spy on” Chinese-born dissidents living in the U.S. According to communications revealed in the complaint, Matthew Ziburis, a former Florida corrections officer, conspired with Fan “Frank” Liu, president of a “purported media organization” in New York, and Qiang “Jason” Sun, a Chinese employee of an “international technology company,” to ruin Mr. Chen’s statues.
Last year, according to the complaint, Mr. Liu instructed Mr. Ziburis to approach Mr. Chen and tell him that he represented a “very rich Jewish man & head of Jewish community” who was a generous donor to the Democratic Party and “especially Nancy Pelosi.” Mr. Ziburis allegedly convinced Mr. Chen to let him install security cameras in his studio to “protect his investment,” in Mr. Yuan’s words.
Although the alleged conspirators didn’t initially plan to raze Mr. Chen’s statue, prosecutors say their plans changed. According to the complaint, Mr. Sun ordered Mr. Liu to destroy “all sculptures and things that are not good to our leaders.” They also allegedly tried bribing an Internal Revenue Service employee to obtain Mr. Chen’s tax returns. “After obtaining evidence, spend money for court and attorney fees to totally get rid of him,” Mr. Liu allegedly told Mr. Sun. According to the U.S. attorney’s office in New York’s Eastern District, where the complaint was unsealed, Messrs. Ziburis and Liu are free on bail and engaged in plea negotiations. Mr. Sun remains at large.
I called Mr. Chen a few hours after the charges were unsealed. He was several glasses deep into a celebratory bottle of champagne. “They want to destroy American free speech and freedom in the arts and the free media,” he says of the regime that incinerated his sculpture. “It’s a very great danger.” I ask Mr. Chen if he felt a yearning to assist Ukrainians in their struggle for freedom. “I would very much like to help, but now there’s so much work at the Liberty Sculpture Park,” he says. “If I fly to Ukraine, maybe my park will be destroyed.”
With the support of the New York-based Human Rights Foundation, Mr. Chen hopes to unveil a recreation of the destroyed “CCP Virus” statue in a few months. This one won’t be fiberglass. It will be made of steel.

Hes not wrong:
Smiley Martin, 27, was released from prison in February after serving less than half of a 10-year sentence for punching and whipping his girlfriend with a belt while she was hiding in her closet, despite pleas from the Sacramento County District Attorney's Office that he "should not be released as he poses a significant, unreasonable risk of safety to the community."
Just weeks later, he and his brother, 26-year-old Dandrae Martin, were allegedly involved in a gang shootout in downtown Sacramento in the early morning hours of April 3 that left six people dead and another dozen people injured.
The tragedy is just the latest example of what happens when society fails to punish repeat violent offenders, Sacramento County Sheriff Scott Jones told Fox News Digital.
"The best predictor of future behavior is past conduct, and violent people, they're going to be violent when they get out, and that's what we've seen here," Jones said. "Every crime has a victim and these victims are racking up, sometimes minorly and sometimes catastrophically, like we saw in Sacramento [on April 3]. This is the latest, but it unfortunately won't be the last. Because if we don't change the way California and the rest of this nation treats criminals… then this is only going to be a continuing trend."
Martin has a lengthy criminal history that stretches back before the 2017 arrest and subsequent conviction for assaulting his girlfriend. He was arrested in January 2013 for being in possession of an assault rifle and two fully loaded 25-round magazines that he tried to discard when police made contact with him. A judge sentenced him to probation and county jail in that case.
Then in November 2013, Martin and three other suspects entered a Walmart and robbed the store of $2,800 of electronics. An investigation uncovered his involvement in two other robberies that month and he was sentenced to two years in prison.
Three years later in November 2016, Martin gave law enforcement officers a fake name and tried to flee when they said he was being detained. The assault on his girlfriend, who the district attorney said he encouraged to be a prostitute, came six months after that.
"Martin has demonstrated repeatedly that he cannot follow the laws, or conditions the court places on him," Sacramento County Deputy District Attorney Danielle Abildgaard wrote in a letter opposing his release last year. "His history indicates that he will pursue his own personal agenda regardless of the consequences and regulatory restraints placed upon him." Martin was released early from prison in February after being awarded 508 days of credits for time he spent in Sacramento County jail as well as other post-sentencing credits under proposition 57, a law that California voters passed in 2016 to give "nonviolent" felons a chance to shave time off their sentence.
Jones cited laws like proposition 57 for letting violent offenders out of prison, arguing that Americans now have a collective amnesia about the tough-on-crime policies that reduced crime in the past few decades. "In the late 80s and early 90s… violent crime in California and across the country was so bad that it gave rise to things like three strikes, gang enhancements, gun enhancements, things to really address the out-of-control violence that was occurring. Well, that has led, at least in California, and I think as a nationwide trend, to violent crime being reduced over the last two or three decades, it has worked. But people have a short memory, and they say, 'Well, since we aren't as violent anymore, we don't need these things,' without realizing the cause and effect, that these things actually reduce violent crime," Jones said.
"As we chisel away at these things, as we chisel away at three strikes, as we chisel away at enhancements, as we let people out of jail, as we start treating criminals like victims and victims like criminals, it's entirely predictable what is going to happen, and we’re seeing it play out."
Martin is not an exception when it comes to early prison release. Out of 4,070 inmates who were sentenced in Sacramento and released between January 2019 and May 2021, more than 1,300 served less than half of their sentence, according to the Sacramento County District Attorney.
Homicides, meanwhile have surged at the same time. Sacramento saw 55 murders in 2021, a nearly 31% increase over 2020, according to Sacramento Police Department data.
In four other major California cities – Los Angeles, Oakland, San Diego, and San Francisco – homicides surged 17% last year, according to a preliminary analysis of data by the Public Policy Institute of California.

Multnomah County Sheriff Mike Reese penned an open letter to the residents of Portland and the surrounding area this week, warning that violent crime is reaching record heights and may only get worse as the summer approaches.
"I continue to be deeply concerned about current trends in community violence," Sheriff Mike Reese wrote Friday.
There were 102 people in jail for murder or attempted murder at the beginning of April, the most since the mid-1990s.
Cities across the country have seen a spike in homicides in recent years, but Portland's homicide rate has surged at a far higher rate. The city has already seen 25 homicides in the first three months of the year, setting itself up to break last year's mark. At the same time, the number of people in Multnomah County jails for serious felonies like kidnappings, robberies, and sex crimes has also gone up.
"This is not the only serious threat to public safety, however," Reese wrote. "Record-high levels of traffic fatalities and overdose deaths are jeopardizing personal safety and devastating families and social support networks."
The sheriff proposed several actions to alleviate Portland's problems, including taking firearms from individuals who are prohibited from having them, engaging in outreach for homeless people, and increasing funding for specialty teams that investigate criminal organizations.
"We need to act with a sense of urgency. Summer is approaching, a time when we typically experience increased violence in our community," Reese wrote. "Without action, we can expect worse to come."
Portland's city council voted to cut the police budget by $15 million in June 2020, but added $5.2 million back late last year amid the surge in crime.
A report by an independent law enforcement investigatory agency called the OIR Group found that the Portland Police Bureau is also suffering from declining morale.
"The repeated references to a ‘lack of support’ from City government seemed even more acute than frustrations with protesters — and have seemingly contributed to a self-perpetuating dynamic of distrust and resentment," the report said.
