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.

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 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.

US Forest Service, Supervisory Special Agent (Retired) FOP Lodge #37 LEOSA Coordinator DHS Law Enforcement Instructor 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. 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 and is the gritty DNA of a man. The same applies to a police partner.
Officer Joan Bauer, mother of six and undercover police officer in Hartville, Ohio, received a commendation for getting a confession out of a murderer. The murderer’s wife went missing in Jan 2018, and the murderer was sentenced to life in prison Aug 2018.
https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/undercover-cop-ohio-man-reveal-wife-murder-doc 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?”  zinnia
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.  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 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.  Business Owners Hoodwinked Into Building Makeshift Housing for the Homeless
December 31, 2020 By Erica Sandberg With the Covid-19 shutdown dragging on for months, and business owners and employees struggling to stay afloat, San Francisco’s restaurants, cafés, bars, and fitness centers were permitted to create patios, or “parklets,” so that they could operate outdoors. This option offered a critical lifeline. Running the gamut from modest to elaborate, the parklets soon became ubiquitous. They stretched by the hundreds along sidewalks and into streets and alleyways in every district in the city. Small-business owners and their staffs finally had some revenue coming in, and their communities rejoiced in any semblance of normal life returning. Then, on December 6, the doors were abruptly shut on outdoor dining and health clubs. Business owners were forced to abandon the parklets that they had painstakingly designed and constructed. Many had decorated them beautifully for the holidays, counting on operating until Christmas. Since San Francisco hospitals were not overrun with Covid patients, California had given restaurants and gyms at least a few weeks to continue serving the public. Nonetheless, San Francisco mayor London Breed and public-health director Grant Colfax preemptively closed the parklets with a Stay at Home order. Almost overnight, activity in the now-abandoned spaces changed dramatically. “My parklets are now being used as bathrooms,” says Brian Cassanego, owner of The Wine Jar and Noir Lounge. “Some guy was camping in one. I find empty cans of beer, needles. The parklets have become homeless shelters and drug dens. Even when we deep clean, which will cost us more money, who will want to sit in them when we are allowed to come back?” Cassanego is asking neighbors to keep watch over his parklets when he can’t be there. He’s hesitant to board them up completely, explaining that it would make the city look awful. “It’s heartbreaking,” he says. “It’s hard to fight back, to get up and plan for another day. Pre-pandemic, I got threatened with $1,000 fines if I didn’t clean up homeless messes. They’re beating restaurants down.” The city has approved $5,000 grants to reimburse small-business owners who invested in parklets, but the funds are not for everyone—they appear to “prioritize minority-owned businesses and businesses that advance the City’s equity goals.” Even if Cassanego turns out to be eligible, the cash will fall short. Before the cold weather started, he spent $2,000 on heaters and had a roof constructed to fit over the tables—for another $5,000. All told, the parklets set him back upward of $15,000. With his business closed, Cassanego’s bills and debts are piling up. Empty parklets across the city are becoming magnets for transient people. A large percentage of those experiencing homelessness suffer from substance-abuse disorders or psychological illnesses. Rory Cox, CEO of Yubalance Fitness and founder of San Francisco Small Business Alliance, says that frightening incidents are occurring. For example, when one business owner asked a person not behaving rationally to leave the parklet, the person sprayed him in the face with pepper spray; the business owner spent five hours in the emergency room. Used syringes are frequently found inside the structures. Vandalism too, is a burgeoning problem, so when the businesses are permitted to reopen, expensive repairs will be necessary. *** Erica Sandberg is a widely published consumer-finance reporter based in San Francisco and the author of Expecting Money: The Essential Financial Plan for New and Growing Families.

By Patrick Henry October 19, 2020 Several media sources, including Breitbart News, are reporting that one of the founders of the Marxist-leaning organization disguised as a civil rights movement [Black Lives Matter] has signed a production deal with Warner Bros. Television Group to produce content across that company’s platforms. According to a release, the contract signed between Warner Bros. and Patrisse Cullors includes programming from animation to scripted and unscripted projects and digital projects. Variety reports that the content will be available on the group’s streaming services, TV, and film. Not scary enough for you? Read on. Defunding the police is the least of Cullors’ radical ideas. She has called through Black Lives Matter for the elimination of all federal police agencies, including the DEA, FBI, ICE, and Border Patrol and so on. She also advocates the “Breathe Act,” which would essentially close all federal prisons and detention facilities. Editorial from the New York Post, October 6, 2020, 7:51 PM
America’s most influential media stylebook [Associated Press] is discouraging the nation’s newspapers from reporting on mass urban violence, on the grounds that writing about what’s happening is “stigmatizing.” The Associated Press Stylebook, whose standards are followed by countless outlets, last week announced new guidelines around reporting on riots. “Focusing on rioting and property destruction rather than underlying grievance has been used in the past to stigmatize broad swaths of people protesting against lynching, police brutality or for racial justice, going back to the urban uprisings of the 1960s.” And never mind that increasing evidence suggests most violence can be pinned not on real Black Lives Matter protesters (radical though their agenda may be), but on mostly white Antifa provocateurs. … AP suggests replacing “riots” with “milder” terms such as “unrest.” Property destruction has a human toll. The Insurance Information Institute says the riots after Floyd’s death have done well over $1 billion in damage. The unprecedented national destruction may lead to insurers excluding coverage for riot damage in the future — not that plenty of innocent small businesses aren’t already finding their policies badly insufficient. In downtown Louisville, Ky., Fadi Faouri has slept in his store for 122 straight nights, trying to protect it from rioters and looters. “Stuff is being damaged on a nightly basis, people are shooting at each other every night,” he told The Post. “Every night we have a new store that got looted. They break in, they take whatever and go. They walk away.” From Lawenforcementtoday.com By Chris Elliot|September 28, 2020|Featured, News [edited for brevity] Homeland Security Investigations authored a federal arrest affidavit for Nicholas Joseph Bantista, from Illinois, for taking part in a protest on September 25th. In the complaint, it is alleged that Bantista assaulted a federal agent by throwing a rock at them. Federal agents were stationed in front of the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement field office protecting it from rioters and looters. While one was on patrol, Bantista, allegedly, armed himself with a rock and threw it at the agent, striking him in the helmet. While Bantista was being placed under arrest, federal agents reported finding an airsoft replica gun [looked real] from his person. He claimed that he threw some type of bouncy ball at the agent. Natalie Wight, an Assistant US Attorney, informed a federal judge that Bantista was currently staying in a tent in the city of Portland. He had been there for less than a week, and according to the Oregonian, she alleged that he had only come to the city “to wreak havoc during these riots.” Bantista is familiar with the legal system as he is already on probation out of Illinois for assaulting a police officer. In that instance, he was convicted of aggravated assault with a firearm for waving a gun and telling police that he would fire it if they did not shoot him. Despite [public defender] Francesconi’s claims, US Magistrate Judge Youlee Yim You sided with the prosecution on this case for now. Lawenforcementtoday.com Headline: Iraq war vet was attacked and defended himself; political correctness got him indicted, now he's dead By Pat Droney, September 21, 2020 [edited for brevity] On May 30, Jake Gardner, an owner of a Nebraska bar and a military veteran who served two tours in Iraq was attacked outside his bar by “peaceful” protesters who were rioting, er, protesting in Omaha after the death of George Floyd. On Sept 20, Gardner killed himself, law enforcement officials and Gardner’s lawyers said. The Epoch Times said that Gardner fatally shot one of his attackers, 22-year-old James Scurlock. The details were submitted to Douglas County Attorney Don Kleine, who found Gardner’s actions “justified,” telling reporters the next week that the incident was clearly self-defense. Author Droney then gave the details. Gardner’s attorney Stu Dornan said, “Bottom line. Gardner lost his bars [a landlord ended his lease after the shooting], his home, his livelihood. And he was about to lose his freedom. Add in behavioral health concerns, and suicide was not a surprise,” the Omaha World-Herald reported. Droney said, "Jake Gardner is another victim. A victim of an endless war in the Middle East and a victim to political correctness and the woke, mob mentality that has overtaken our country in the past four months. Sadly, there will likely be many more Jake Gardner’s." [Gardner is on the left. Scurlock is on the right.] Lawenforcementtoday.com - Jenna Curren|September 17, 2020 A grand jury has indicted a man who is accused of injuring a Portland Police Bureau sergeant by shining a high-powered laser capable of starting a fire into his eye during a violent protest. The suspect, identified as 36-year-old Bryan Kelley has been charged with one count of second-degree assault, one count of unlawful use of a weapon, and two counts of unlawful directing of light from a laser pointer. According to reports, the indictment says that Kelley intentionally aimed the high-power laser at an officer’s eyes during the overnight rioting at Portland City Hall on August 25th. According to court documents, a Portland Police Bureau (PPB) sergeant said that Kelley shined the light into his eyes multiple times throughout the night.
