Pick a side
Crime-ridden San Francisco has introduced new sanitized language for criminals, getting rid of words such as “offender” and “addict” while changing “convicted felon” to “justice-involved person.”
The Board of Supervisors adopted the changes last month even as the city reels from one of the highest crime rates in the country and staggering inequality exemplified by pervasive homelessness alongside Silicon Valley wealth.
The local officials say the new language will help change people’s views about those who commit crimes.

Authorities in California said another mass shooting may have been averted with the arrest of a hotel cook. Rodolfo Montoya, 37, who worked at a Marriott in Long Beach, told a co-worker Monday he planned to come into work and shoot everybody he saw at the hotel because of a so-called human resources issue.
That co-worker notified police, who arrested Montoya at his mobile home the next day and confiscated an arsenal of weapons. Montoya's arrest is the latest in a string of mass shooting threats after deadly shootings in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio.
"Suspect Montoya had clear plans, intent and the means to carry out an act of violence that may have resulted in a mass casualty incident," Long Beach Police Chief Robert Luna said Wednesday.
When Long Beach police arrested the disgruntled hotel cook at his Huntington Beach home, they seized multiple high-powered firearms, hundreds of rounds of ammunition, and tactical gear, including an assault rifle and high-capacity magazines. The magazines are illegal in California.
Irma Escobito worked with Montoya at the Marriott hotel. She said he sometimes made her uncomfortable but that she never reported him.
"Every time he comes and he look for me, and he touch me or give me a kiss on the head, I say, 'Don't touch me please, don't kiss me,' because the cameras are there, and I don't like that," Escobito said.
One of the suspect's neighbors said that another neighbor warned him to stay away from Montoya.
"One next door told me that he had guns in that RV and to stay clear of it, he has all kinds of guns," the neighbor said.
At least 29 people have been arrested in 18 states for threatening mass violence since the Dayton and El Paso mass shootings.
In Orlando, a 16-year-old girl was arrested Wednesday for allegedly threatening to shoot people at her sister's Catholic school. According to the arrest report, she said in a group text that the "Next person to say something is the first person I will shoot on the school shooting that will take place this Friday."

 Prosecutors say it's their mission to make sure an Ohio cop "never wears the badge of a police officer again" after the 34-year-old was arrested Tuesday on accusations he tried to kidnap a 12-year-old girl at a school bus stop — and then filmed himself urinating on her. Soloman Nhiwatiwa, a Cleveland officer, was taken into custody in the alleged Friday incident, according to a police department news release. Nhiwatiwa allegedly drove up to the girl while in Euclid and asked her if she needed a ride to school, Cleveland.com reported. The girl said no, and refused to get in the vehicle, reportedly prompting Nhiwatiwa to drive away. Roughly a minute later, however, prosecutors allege Nhiwatiwa came back -- this time exposing himself to the girl and then filming himself urinating on her before leaving the scene again. |

Rich and white are now evil:
NBC Sports Pro Football Talk turned into a venue for bashing Donald Trump and conservatives when Mike Florio and Chris Simms said they had to expose “hypocritical sports fans” and media personalities.
The duo waded into political waters on Tuesday while saying their hand was forced by “a lotta [sic] rich, white people in certain news channels.”
At issue was the friction between the NFL Players Coalition and Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross, who hosted a fundraiser for the Republican president.
Players Coalition members pressured Ross to step down from a social justice working group due to his fundraising efforts.
“I would love to stick to sports. Some times politics gets yanked onto sports,” Mr. Florio said, the media watchdog NewsBusters reported. “We hear all the time, players and reporters, stick to sports. Well, is it fair, Chris, to turn it around on the owners and tell them to stick to sports? Stephen Ross isn’t sticking to sports when he decided to host a $100,000, up to $250,000 per person fundraiser for the president. That’s not sticking to sports. But nobody ever says that he should stick to sports.”
“He’s rich and he’s white,” Mr. Simms said of Ross. “That’s why. Sugarcoat it. When LeBron James talks, or something like that, yeah. There’s a lotta [sic] rich, white people in certain news channels that, yeah, they love to say it, but yet they don’t ever turn it around on anybody that’s that way, or that they’re rich or white or if they’re established like that. It seems like [it] to me. It bothers me. … it’s so hypocritical in so many ways. … [Ross is] trying to argue that Trump is a centrist really, he’s a centrist really. No, Mr. Ross, then you haven’t been paying attention to the world the last three years. He’s far from a centrist at this point. He’s the most far-right that we’ve ever seen in a president.

The so called media:
A Gulfport, Mississippi, professor and advocate is suing the national news website HuffPost alleging defamation involving a September 2018 story on U.S. Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh's days at Georgetown Prep school.
Derrick Evans’ lawsuit was filed Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Gulfport against HuffPost and its former journalist, Ashley Feinberg.
The lawsuit said HuffPost and Feinberg repeatedly defamed Evans and friend Douglas Kennedy to a nationwide audience on multiple occasions in September 2018 by falsely asserting that they helped arrange the purchase and delivery of cocaine at Georgetown Prep that resulted in the April 1984 death of David Kennedy, Douglas’ brother and the son of the late U.S. attorney general and senator, Robert F. Kennedy.
“These statements were not only false and defamatory, but outrageously so, and were published by defendants with knowledge of their actual falsity or in reckless disregard of the truth for the apparent purpose of creating a salacious story designed to drive internet traffic to HuffPost’s website,” the lawsuit said.
A HuffPost spokesperson said in a statement Wednesday that it doesn't comment on pending litigation.
In the fall of 2018, the United States Senate was holding confirmation hearings on Kavanaugh’s nomination to become a Supreme Court justice.
Kavanaugh, Evans and Douglas Kennedy were alumni of Georgetown Prep.
During the controversy surrounding Kavanaugh’s nomination, Feinberg wrote the article that Evans’ lawsuit said was sensational, depicting a wild “alcohol-and-drug-fueled” culture at Georgetown Prep in the early 1980s.
The headline of the story was “Kavanaugh’s Prep School Party Scene Was a ‘Free-For-All’.”
The lawsuit said in HuffPost’s zeal to create a sensational article about Kavanaugh’s years at Georgetown Prep and thereby drive traffic to its website, it fabricated the claim that Kennedy and Evans “helped score” the illegal narcotics that killed Douglas Kennedy’s older brother, David, in April 1984.
“Defendants had no sources to support their outrageously false and defamatory statements about Derrick Evans and Douglas Kennedy. Nor did Defendants make any effort whatsoever to contact Mr. Evans for comment before accusing him of not only of committing a crime, but of being responsible for the death of David Kennedy,” the lawsuit said. “Indeed, if Ms. Feinberg or her HuffPost editors had done even the most basic research of publicly available sources, she and they would have known, if they did not already know, that Mr. Evans actively assisted law enforcement in identifying and prosecuting the individuals who actually sold the illegal narcotics.”
The lawsuit said HuffPost ran a correction, but the correction also contained false information. HuffPost eventually changed the story removing any reference to Evans and the Kennedy brothers.

The hard left keeps speaking and I hope they never stop:
Hasan Piker, a contributor with the left-wing "Young Turks" network, unleashed a vulgar rant on Rep. Dan Crenshaw, R-Texas, a Navy SEAL veteran whom Piker claimed lost his eye to a "brave" soldier.
Crenshaw, who now wears an eyepatch, lost his eye in an IED explosion while serving in Afghanistan. Piker appeared to be describing the Mujahideen, guerilla fighters in Islamic countries, as "brave."
Piker took issue with an interview in which Crenshaw apparently commented on foreign policy in a way that deeply upset Piker.
"What the f--k is wrong with this dude? Didn't he go to war and literally lose his eye because some Mujahideen -- a brave f-----g solider -- f---ed his eyehole with their d--k?" Piker asked Tuesday on the live streaming video platform Twitch.
"I can't do this. I can't do this. This guy has the understanding of foreign policy of like a 12-year-old," Piker said.
Piker appeared unapologetic on Wednesday, tweeting that the Texas congressman didn't deserve "extra respect" because he advocated for "senseless wars."

He must be fired for this, no mercy.
An editor with The New York Times apologized Thursday after potentially offensive tweets he sent as many as 11 years ago resurfaced online.
Tom Wright-Piersanti had made numerous anti-Semitic and racist tweets that date back to 2008, some of which have since been deleted.
He apologized Thursday -- according to The Wrap, tweeting: "I have deleted tweets from a decade ago that are offensive. I am deeply sorry." Wright-Piersanti's account was still up as of Thursday evening, but his tweets were protected.
A spokesperson for the Times told Fox News: "We are aware of these tweets, which are a clear violation of our standards. We are reviewing next steps.”
Wright-Piersanti's tweets included one in which he said he wanted to be "less anti-Semitic."
On January 1, 2010, he wrote: "I was going to say 'Crappy Jew Year,' but one of my resolutions is to be less anti-Semitic. So... HAPPY Jew Year. You Jews."
In another post from 2009, Wright-Piersanti shared an image of a car with a giant lit menorah on top of it and tweeted, "Who called the Jew-police?"
Wright-Piersanti also made several derogatory tweets against "Indians" in 2008 and 2009.
"Want to see dozens of Indian girls grind all over each other? Go to the Golden Rail Pub in New Brunswick, NJ," he wrote in 2008.
Another tweet from 2009 read, "Two high-voiced Indian guys keep calling each other "dawg" and they aren't doing it as a joke. F--- THAT s---."
"There are four Indian guys with mohawks in this one class, and each one is a douche in his own awful way. I hate mohawk Indians," Wright-Piersanti wrote in a pair of tweets back in 2009. He later added: "I don't hate Mohawk Indians, though. I love those guys. I just hate Indians with mohawks. Different Indians, different mohawks."
The tweets surfaced after The Times demoted a high-ranking editor following recent incidents that resulted in a heavy backlash on social media.

Now here is a real man:  A 99-year-old Arkansas World War II veteran who was presented with a series of medals this week has a bit of advice for the younger generation: “Stay in school,” and “Come out with the idea of serving people.” Sergeant First Class Thomas Franklin Vaughns – an airplane mechanic with the Tuskegee Airmen who also served in the Korean War – made the comments to Fox 16 on Wednesday following a ceremony in Pine Bluff honoring his military career. “Stay off drugs that’s number one. When you have an opportunity to go to school, stay in school,” he told the station. “And when you come out, come out with the idea of serving people.” Sen. John Boozman, R-Ark., was among the officials in attendance Wednesday to present medals to Vaughns. He received replacements of four medals he had lost – the Honorable Service Lapel Button, World War II Victory Medal, Good Conduct Army Medal and American Campaign Medal-World War II – and one had not gotten until this week: the National Defense Service Medal, for his involvement in the Korean War, according to the Northwest Arkansas Democrat-Gazette. "We all know about his great career in the military, going off at a young age to serve his country, willing to do whatever he was asked to do," the newspaper quoted Boozman as saying during the event. "Then he came home and, like the greatest generation, rebuilt the country." |

I bet Brasil wishes they had some of that World Cup and Olympic money they blew like drunken sailors back now.
Brazil’s President Jair Bolsonaro says his country can’t afford to fight the massive blazes raging across the Amazon rainforest.
Bolsonaro, who was elected last year, has faced criticism for not doing enough to contain deforestation as the Amazon faces a record number of wildfires — which are up 84% from the same period last year.
“There aren’t the resources. This chaos has arrived,” the president told reporters on Thursday, according to the BBC.
Bolsonaro repeated claims accusing non-government groups of setting the blazes in response to being defunded by his administration.
When asked if he had any proof, Bolsonaro responded saying: “Did I accuse NGOs directly? I just said I suspect them.”

The madness must be inflicted upon the children.
LOS ANGELES — A measure that would require all California high school students take an ethnic studies course is on hold for at least a year after pro-Israel groups and other critics raised concerns about the curriculum.
The decision was announced Thursday by the author of the bill, Assemblyman Jose Medina, D-Riverside. He said he remained committed to making ethnic studies a graduation requirement, but problems and disagreements with the draft curriculum need “ample time” to be worked out.
“I strongly believe in the tenets of ethnic studies and continue to assert that it is time for California to make the subject a requirement for all students,” Medina said in a statement. “It is not a question of whether the subject itself is necessary but rather, how do we ensure the curriculum is comprehensive, rigorous, and inclusive enough. This underscores the importance of taking the time necessary to ensure we get the curriculum right.”
Despite his support of ethnic studies, Medina joined other members of the Legislature’s Jewish caucus who objected to portions of a “model” ethnic studies curriculum that is being developed to guide the state’s teachers.
Critics questioned, for example, why Islamophobia is defined in the curriculum’s glossary but not anti-Semitism. Pro-Israel groups, in particular, complained that the curriculum’s brief presentation of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is one-sided.
Ethnic studies in California have focused mainly on four groups: Latinos, African Americans, Asian Americans and indigenous peoples —those present in the Americas before the period of European colonization.
State officials have pledged that there will be substantial changes to the curriculum to make it more inclusive before its final approval, which is scheduled for March. There has also been pushback from some students and ethnic studies teachers in defense of the draft curriculum.
Medina’s delay allows the curriculum to evolve into its final form before lawmakers have to vote on whether ethnic studies would become a graduation requirement.
A separate pending bill would make ethnic studies a graduation requirement for students at Cal State campuses.

WASHINGTON—Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on Friday completed a three-week course of radiation for a malignant tumor on her pancreas, which was “treated definitively,” the Supreme Court said in a statement.
The court said that there was “no evidence of disease elsewhere in the body,” and that Justice Ginsburg, 86 years old, “tolerated treatment well.”
The justice began treatment on an outpatient basis Aug. 5, after the tumor was detected in July, the court said.
The episode is the latest health scare for Justice Ginsburg, the court’s oldest member.
