On this date in 1607, Father Robert Drury was murdered at Tyburn, for although he and other priests had sworn their loyalty to Queen Elizabeth I and the Pope, when James I issued a decree requiring all clergy to abjure allegiance to the Pope, Drury was executed for refusing.

9-1-1 hand gesture

2/18/2022

0 Comments

 
I do not use TikTok, but, apparently, the 9-1-1 hand gesture was spread via this app. A retired cop friend of mine sent me the video. If you accidentally dial 9-1-1, do not hang up. Explain to the dispatcher that you called by mistake. If you hang up before explaining, the dispatcher will call you back, and if you do not answer that call, the dispatcher will send the police to you.

paintball gun

From a Nextdoor neighbor:

UPDATE** Last night around 8:30 PM [2-5-22], my sister and her friends (ages 12-13) were shot with gel bullet guns (not pellet guns my mistake!) while walking to the local Starbucks by Rocklin High School. These teenage boys drove up in two cars and started shooting at them and laughing. The police officials were called and are now aware of this situation. THIS IS NEVER OKAY. My sister and her friends are now terrified and have bruises from the pellets. This is not the first time this incident has occurred in this area. If anyone has information or knowledge of this situation, please let the police authorities know.

Another neighbor said, “What those kids used was a paintball gun; it uses compressed air in a tank and fires these .68 cal paintballs. They are very fast and hurt when you get hit, like getting snaps from a rubber band. They could put your eye out. I was hit by some last week while on my walk.”

Yet another neighbor said, “I just saw the news on TV. It’s part of a TikTok challenge. They are targeting pedestrians. This is unacceptable! I’m so sorry this happened to her.”

I suggested paintball games for a student of mine in Rocklin. I will let him know that safety and respect for the law are uppermost. I have advised all my students not to use TikTok.

dna indicted

As the statute of limitations approached on the brutal beating, a smart assistant district attorney, David Waymire, indicted DNA. The genetic marker was in a single drop of blood at the crime scene. I didn’t know DNA could be indicted. That and hypnotherapy by a forensic psychologist located the suspect. He pled no contest.

On Sunday, January 2, 2022, at 2:13 a.m., Santa Rosa Police Department officers were dispatched to the 1200-block of Wyoming Drive regarding an interrupted catalytic converter theft.  The victim was inside his residence, when he heard the sound of a saw cutting metal near the front of his house.  The victim looked outside and saw two subjects standing near his work truck.  The victim yelled at the suspects, and they got into a vehicle and fled.  The victim described the suspect vehicle as a white Acura sedan.  Responding patrol officers spotted a vehicle, several blocks from the incident, that matched the description provided by the victim.  Officers made a traffic stop on the vehicle, in the 2700-block of Fourth Street. 

A search of the vehicle revealed a Sawzall (commonly used to cut catalytic converters), new and used saw blades, extra vehicle jacks, suspected methamphetamine, and other burglary tools.  The driver was identified as David Ponce, a 30-year-old, Santa Rosa resident.  The passenger was identified as Claudia Granadero-Rivas, a 28-year-old, Santa Rosa resident.
 
Based on the call for service, witness statements, and evidence located, Granadero-Rivas was arrested and booked into the Sonoma County Jail on the below charges.  Granadero-Rivas’ bail was set at $110,000.
 
182(a)(1) PC – (Felony) Conspiracy to Commit a Crime
594(b)(1) PC – (Felony) Vandalism
664 / 487 PC – (Felony) Attempted Grand Theft
466 PC – (Misdemeanor) Possession of Burglary Tools
1203.2 – Violation of Probation/Pre-Trial Release Terms out of Marin County (two counts)
Misdemeanor Warrants – 2 Warrants out of Marin County
 
Based on the call for service, witness statements, and evidence located, Ponce was arrested and booked into the Sonoma County Jail on the below charges:
 
182(a)(1) PC – (Felony) Conspiracy to Commit a Crime
594(b)(1) PC – (Felony) Vandalism
664 / 487 PC – (Felony) Attempted Grand Theft
466 PC – (Misdemeanor) Possession of Burglary Tools
 
Granadadero-Rivas has been arrested in Sonoma County at least four times in the past year for thefts involving catalytic converters:
 
9/27/2021      SRPD 21-10840        496(a) PC / 182(a)(1) PC / 466 PC Arrest
6/6/2021        SRPD 21-6097          182(a)(1) PC / 466 PC / 12022.1(a) PC Arrest
5/24/2021      SCSO 210524010     487 PC / 1203.2 PC Arrest
2/22/2021      PPD 21-771                487 PC / 496 PC / 1203.2 PC Arrest
 
Catalytic converter theft has been a significant issue facing our community and the SRPD Property Crimes Team has dedicated time and resources into addressing this problem.  In 2021, there were 345 cases of reported catalytic converter thefts, a 159% increase from 2020 (133 cases).  If you catch someone stealing a catalytic converter, CALL SRPD (707-528-5222 or 9-1-1) immediately. Provide suspect and vehicle descriptions.  If you have been a victim of catalytic converter theft, report the incident online at SRCity.org/ReportACrime and include any photographs of home surveillance footage.
 
Media inquiries may be directed to Sergeant Christopher Mahurin at (707) 975-0129 or cmahurin@srcity.org. SRPD Case number 22-23.

From the California Family Council: “This is only the latest in a string of disturbing incidents involving the LGBTQ agenda in California, and again highlights the danger it poses to young, impressionable children. Video footage has shown the mother of this student speaking out at a Spreckels Union School District meeting last week.” The elementary school is located just south of Salinas, which is in central California. You will hear a mother, Jessica, speak out against gender, name, and email changes made by the school to her daughter’s records without parental consent. I and the parents of the students I tutor will protect children from criminals.

This is a Latin phrase meaning “what one has earned”. In the context of contract law, it means “reasonable value of services”. What does it mean in terms of the Catholic faith? Is there a zero measurement of what one has earned? Null is a merit, or, at least, not a demerit under the 7th Commandment. 
  • Have I stolen or accepted stolen goods?
  • Have I cheated anyone of what I owe him or her?
  • Am I lazy? Do I waste time at work or school?
  • Do I gamble excessively?
  • Do I share what I have with poor people and the Church according to my means?
  • Have I copied or used pirated material: videos, music, software?

What are the details?
The unnamed off-duty Baltimore police officer was getting a haircut . . . when 38-year-old Carlos Ortega burst into the Bladi Style barbershop in East Baltimore and fatally shot the barber, 33-year-old Rafael Jeffers. Video surveillance captured the moment [when] the officer, who was armed and in plain clothes while off duty, quickly jumped to his feet and "with great bravery produced his firearm," according to Police Commissioner Michael Harrison.

The assailant killed the unsuspecting target on Nov 15, 2021. The sergeant returned fire, killing the assailant. The video is too violent and graphic to post.

doxxed

What does doxxed mean? I didn’t know. It happens when a person’s information, such as phone and address, is made public with malicious intent. I found out what it means in connection with J.K. Rowling. Rowling was doxxed and death threats were sent to her because she said something a certain community did not like. Criminal? Yes.

If I were famous and read by millions, I would be doxxed. Facebook put me, a nobody, in jail for three weeks in 2020. I had been so careful to avoid politics, but my diligence failed when algorithms did not like my despicable utterance, which was one sentence long: “The 2020 election was pitiful.” I 
righted myself by leaving all social media in 2021.

I would not assign students anything Rowling writes, but her right to free speech is important. Apparently, the only people who will defend free speech are not part of the violent leftist mobs and their government promoters occupying world capitals, including Washington and Sacramento, globalist communists in it for power and profit. Several friends who fled Vietnam and several friends/acquaintances who fled Nicaragua mean something. I’m guessing you have a few who fled from somewhere, too. America is the last refuge, and she will not fall, because traditional people will stand.

What is the strength of the mother-son relationship? There are countless reports of men dying on the battlefield whose last words were, “Tell my mother I love her.” The first woman he falls in love with is his mother. A son would take a bullet for her. Imagine the strength of the love the Son had for His. This is the gritty DNA of a man. A very good show on cable television IDHD is Body Cam, where a police officer might take a bullet not for his mother, but for a partner, male or female or any color of the rainbow. A body cam is protection as good as a gun, but the willingness to protect and defend starts with love of mother.

Officer Joan Bauer, mother of six and undercover police officer in Hartville, Ohio, received a commendation for getting a confession out of a murderer. I watched the true crime documentary titled, “When Phil Met Missy,” on the Discovery Channel. The murderer’s wife went missing in Jan 2018, and the murderer was sentenced to life in prison in Aug 2018. Law enforcement!

gucci murder

11/19/2021

Just finished watching a show about the Gucci murder on my favorite cable television station ID, Investigation Discovery. Patrizia killed her husband Mauricio Gucci in 1995, two years after he sold the Gucci empire and took up with a girlfriend, Paola Franchi. What a fascinating, beautiful woman Patrizia is! Queen Hecuba!

When taken to jail, she was wearing a fur coat. Prison officials told her fur coats were not allowed, and she responded, “That’s all I own.”


In 2005, Patrizia’s legal team persuaded prison officials to let her pet ferret live with her. In October 2011, she became eligible for parole under a work-release program but refused it, saying, “I've never worked in my life and I’m certainly not going to start now.”

For good behavior, she was released in Oct 2016 after serving 18 years.

During the People Magazine interview, she said, “I am not guilty, but I am not innocent.”

According to Wikipedia, in April 2021, Vanity Teen announced the launch of a film based on the story. The film, House of Gucci, is directed by Ridley Scott and features Lady Gaga as Patrizia and Adam Driver as Maurizio Gucci. House of Gucci is scheduled to be released in the United States on Nov 24, 2021, less than a week from today.

Truth is better than fiction.

stabbing update

11/14/2021

0 Comments

 
The stabbing at a nearby gas station on 11/10 involved two men. The man who was stabbed has been involved in altercations at the other gas station convenience store. He pulled a knife on the clerk, she pressed the panic button, and police arrived right away and arrested the man. He was prosecuted and jailed. We think that during the 11/10 stabbing, the knife might have been his own and was turned on him. That complicates the issue of who was the assailant and who was the target. I get my information from one of the store clerks. Besides the CHP and Placer County Sheriff, the store clerk probably knows more than anybody else about what is going on in the neighborhood. He is a reliable source. He dealt with this knife-wielding man before, and the gas station chain, which is nationwide, banned him from the property. No official word yet on what happened.

stabbing

Yesterday, around 3:30pm, a homeless man stabbed a man pumping gas. The assailant asked for money and stabbed the man pumping gas when he said no. The assailant then fled up the steep hill behind the gas station. No other information is available as the matter is under investigation.

We think he might be a vagrant hitching rides because we are right next to I-80 and seldom see homeless. Both gas stations have external cameras. The hill he ran up is about 1/4 mile from home. On 11-2, I took a picture of the hill to give my readers an idea of the color of the dirt up here. Well, the color of dirt is this criminal’
s face.

crimes and cockles

11/7/2021

0 Comments

 
As usual, Sundays cause me to write.

In today’s parable [parabolam in Latin], Matt. 11, 24-30, the word zizania is translated as cockle. Sounds like the flower called zinnia. What is a cockle? 1) Any of several weedy plants of the pink family and 2) any of various chiefly marine bivalve mollusks having a shell with convex radially ribbed valves. The latter are edible, the former are not edible, at least not the seeds - mmm - poison - murder.

Why is the parable relevant? The servants of the good man said, “Sir, didst thou not sow good seed in thy field? whence then hath it cockle?” He said, “An enemy hath done this.” The servants said, “Wilt thou that we go and gather it up?” He said, “No: lest perhaps gathering up the cockle you root up the wheat also together with it. Suffer both to grow until the harvest; and in the time of the harvest, I will say to the reapers, Gather up first the cockle, and bind it into bundles to burn, but the wheat gather ye into my barn.”

Ah, so we must suffer the presence of cockle with the wheat until the end of the world. Then, the wheat will be gathered and brought into the Kingdom of Heaven and the cockle burned. Of course, there is a personal judgment before the end comes.
​
That answers the question we ask when a crime has been committed, “Is there any justice?”

k9 officer

Action occurred at 12:12 AM. Suspect wanted on several Felony warrants in three different counties was chased and taken down by K9. She was placed in Placer County Jail after being treated for minor dog bites.

Suspect was driving dangerously and erratically at unsafe rates of speed and was believed to be under the influence. After a high-speed chase with suspect losing control of the vehicle, she exited and fled, officers in pursuit. She was held at gunpoint, then kicked the officers, and tried to run again. That is when the K9 was deployed. Now, suspect faces more charges.

K9 officer's job - well done.

Below is a picture of 
Echo, Search & Rescue Dog, not involved in the action, but a real trooper. Law Enforcement calls in Search & Rescue dogs to help with rescues of people in life-or-death situations, and these dogs train with Law Enforcement dogs and their trainers.

forgiving crimes

10/5/2021

2 Comments

 
I have watched plenty of interviews of crime targets. Frequently, the target is asked if he/she forgives the assailant. My reaction is always the same. I want to counsel the target to say, “Forgiveness is between me and God. You don’t need to know.” One writing prompt for students is, “Have I asked God’s help to forgive someone? Write about it.” For young students, this situation may not have arisen, but for every adult forgiveness becomes a challenge. My faith tells me that God will forgive me according to the measure I have forgiven others, all others. In life, one gets two choices: do what is right or do what is wrong. As the end nears, the choices are bumped up to three: heaven, purgatory, or hell.

Adriana and I amused each other over the idea of shooting tranquilizing darts at those about to receive unworthily. Immobilizing them right before communion would save their souls. There is a hapless individual who is not Catholic and receives, and today, he was admonished. I'd rather see wayward politicians be darted. Only if they were near the end of the communion line would we succeed. Ketamine takes effect in 3-4 minutes.

Postcommunion prayer for Sept 5, 2021. Candice DeLong, former FBI profiler and host of Deadly Women on cable's ID channel, says the most common reasons for murder are money, jealousy, and revenge. My stories have touched on all three. Here, sensus is translated as impulses, which makes sense.
