Tempe police arrest suspect accused of multiple cases of political violence
Suspect is accused of shooting incidents targeting the DNC office in Tempe in recent weeks and placing substances with political signs in Ahwatukee


Tempe police arrested a suspect accused of hanging suspicious bags of white powder from several political signs lined with razor blades in Ahwatukee. The department says the same suspect is accused of three separate shooting incidents targeting the DNC office in Tempe in recent weeks.

Officials have identified the suspect accused of the crimes as 60-year-old Jeffrey Michael Kelly.


Tempe PD Update On Political Tampering Arrest

Kelly was arrested on charges that include unlawful discharge, shooting at a non-residential structure, terrorism, and criminal damage....

Evidence collected during the investigation included .22-caliber casings that were found in Kelly's trash bin, Google searches of the DNC office location, and searches for firearm conversions and accessories....

The Maricopa County Attorney’s Office said ATF investigators searched his home where they located more than 120 guns, more than 250,000 rounds of ammunition, body armor, a grenade launcher, and other weapon-related items.

Officials also reportedly located evidence tying him to the incidents including a vehicle seen on surveillance video and multiple license plates....
:shock: Good thing he was stupid enough to get popped doing petty stuff before he scaled up. Destroy all of his arms and lock him up!

C'mon citizens, crush this crap with your votes:
Polling incident turns physical after Trump voter calls Black election worker ‘F–king b–h’
“To see someone resort to that type of aggression against a room full of women ... It's upsetting,” South Carolina Democratic Party chairwoman Christale Spain told theGrio.


An incident at a polling station in Orangeburg, South Carolina, involving an apparent Trump supporter who berated a group of Black female poll workers on Wednesday resulted in a state investigation.

The incident turned physical during early voting after a white man sporting a pro-Trump cap used expletives when told he could not wear the political paraphernalia. According to WIS News 10, the male voter wore a “Let’s Go Brandon” hat. The coded term is a known anti-President Joe Biden phrase for “F–k Joe Biden.”

When the man was told he could not wear the hat while voting and turned away at the polling station, he is heard calling a Black female poll worker a “f—king b–tch.” He then takes off the hat and points it toward another poll worker, and defiantly shouts, “This is my motherf—king right.”
:roll: MAGAts are clueless crybabies.
Political or campaign apparel is barred at polling stations in 21 states, according to Democracy Docket. South Carolina law states that poll managers shall “use every reasonable means to keep the area within five hundred feet of any such entrance clear of political literature and displays.”

The incident in Orangeburg escalated further as the pro-Trump voter told the poll worker to “Shut the hell up and let me vote.” When he is still prevented from voting, he takes the hat off and tosses it to the ground by the feet of a woman recording the interaction.

After he is still refused at the polling desk, he appears to point in the face of another poll worker, also a Black female. The woman strikes the man, who then advances toward her. The poll workers, joined by two white female voters, attempt to retrain the man and remove him from the polling station. The video cuts off before the incident’s conclusion.
:D I know it's a typo for 'restrain', but I like "attempt to retrain the" child.
... A similar incident happened at a polling station last week in San Antonio, Texas, where a Trump voter punched an election worker who told him that he couldn’t wear a pro-Trump baseball cap. The man, identified as Jesse Lutzenberger, was arrested on felony charges for assaulting an elderly person, reported CBS News.

(Christale, South Carolina Democratic Party) Chairwoman Spain said Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump and Republicans – whom she called “MAGA extremists” have “emboldened their voters to behave this way.”...
Will 50 more asshat MAGAts now try it in Orangeburg and other South Carolina polls on Tuesday?
Texas man punched election worker over Trump hat at voting site, police say

A Texas man who wore a hat supporting former President Donald Trump punched an election worker who told him that wearing items endorsing a candidate are prohibited at voting sites, a sheriff said Friday.

The election worker, identified as a 69-year-old man, was treated at the scene Thursday and returned to his election post at a San Antonio library on Friday, officials said.
Hero. Lock the asshat MAGAt up!
The suspect was arrested on felony charges of assaulting an elderly person and could face additional charges, Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar said.
:---P
After being told he had to remove his cap in the voting area, Lutzenberger did and proceeded to cast a ballot, according to Salazar. He then put the cap back on before leaving, followed by the clerk again telling him remove the hat while inside the building.

As the clerk escorted him out of the library, Lutzenberger allegedly threw an elbow or arm back toward the clerk and then turned to punch him in the face multiple times, according to Salazar....
Losing their idol's cap is emasculating :violin:

Florida weighs in, of course:
Man brandishes machete with Trump supporters at Florida polling station, police say

An 18-year-old Florida man was in custody Tuesday after he wielded a machete at a Florida polling station, in an apparent attempt to harass voters who did not share his political views, police said. The man came with a group to the polling site to demonstrate support for former President Donald Trump, authorities said.

Caleb Williams is charged with aggravated assault on a person 65 years of age or older and improper exhibition of a firearm or dangerous weapon for his alleged role in the incident, said Neptune Beach Police Chief Michael Key at a news conference. The Neptune Beach Police Department on Wednesday announced an additional charge against Williams for voter intimidation or suppression, after they received new video footage from the polling site.

"During the course of the on-going investigation, we have received new video footage which depicts the suspect committing an additional crime of voter intimidation or suppression within the designated voting location," the police department said in a statement. "As such, one felony of the third-degree count of Voter Intimidation or Suppression was added to the suspect's charges today. This remains an open investigation."

The incident happened at around 4:00 p.m. Tuesday afternoon in the parking lot of Beaches Branch Library, which operated as an early voting facility ahead of the Nov. 5 election, the police chief said. Williams arrived at the property with a group of teenagers who traveled to the polling location "to protest and antagonize the opposing political side," Key said. Seven other people in the group were about 16 or 17 years old, with Williams being the only adult.

The situation escalated when Williams "brandished a machete in an aggressive, threatening posture over his head," according to police. He faced two people, a 71-year-old woman and a 54-year-old woman, as he held the weapon, police said....

"The group was there for no other reason but for ill intentions, to cause a disturbance. This is not an incident of solely a First Amendment protected right, but one where they were simply there to cause a ruckus," said the police chief. "Voting in our country is one of the most sacred and protected rights we have. Ensuring everyone's right to vote is crucial and it will not be impeded."

... Williams remained in jail Wednesday morning, CBS affiliate WJAX-TV reported. The station also published video recorded at the site of the incident, which showed the group of teenagers holding flags and signs supporting Trump's reelection campaign, and chanting Trump's name. Williams in the video appeared to have speared one of the flags with his machete, and waved it in the air attached to the end of his weapon.

Alabama Man:
Man who threatened Fulton County DA Fani Willis gets nearly 2 years in prison

An Alabama man who left threatening phone messages for Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and the county sheriff last summer because he was angry over an investigation into former President Donald Trump was sentenced Tuesday to nearly two years in federal prison.

Arthur Ray Hanson II, of Huntsville, made the phone calls just over a week before Trump and 18 others were indicted in Fulton County in August 2023 over efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election. Federal prosecutors say Hanson left voicemails laced with profanity and racial slurs for Willis and Fulton County Sheriff Pat Labat.

U.S. District Judge J.P. Boulee in Atlanta said he found Hanson's behavior "appalling" and that the victims' fear was "real and legitimate." He sentenced Hanson to serve a year and nine months in prison, followed by three years of supervised release. He also ordered Hanson to pay a fine of $7,500....
Judge J.P. Boulee was appointed by Donald Trump, ha-ha.
:---P :clap:
(lots of detail on the contents of the threatening messages)

... "To add insult to injury, you not only attacked them for doing their job, you attacked them because of the color of the skin," Boulee said. He said the racial slurs in the messages were an "attempt to make them feel low and less valued."

... Willis is running for reelection, and the case against Trump is largely on hold while a pretrial appeal is pending. But when asked whether she plans to continue her prosecution if Trump wins next month's presidential election, Willis said she plans to "continue to prosecute every single case in my office."

‘I’m at a loss honestly’: People holding Nazi flags harass citizens in Mid-Michigan

A group of people were seen waving Nazi flags in two different Mid-Michigan cities, including outside of a Jewish play.

Many people were waving flags with swastikas on them in front of the American Legion Post in Howell. At the same time, the Fowlerville Community Theater performed the “Diary of Anne Frank” on Saturday night.

A member of the Howell American Legion Post says the legion heard about the rising antisemitism and thought people could learn from the play.
Seriously? Of all the things to protest . . .
... Alex Sutfill, who was driving downtown with his wife at the time says he called the police after seeing the group.

“There was a group of people at the four-way intersection in downtown that had swastika flags and American flags,” said Sutfill. “They were sticking their arms up and yelling hail Hitler and Hail Trump and everything like that.”...
Of course they were.
Peter Damerow, who confronted the group says they told him to go back to his country.

“They looked at me and one of them said,” said Damerow. “No this is Pureville now, and we’re here to make sure it stays pure.”

He says he believes the group did this due to the current political climate within the county.

“I really felt like they felt comfortable enough to do this because of Trump’s reelection and what they said to me at the stop light made that quite clear,” said Damerow....

Trump’s picks for new administration are focus of bomb threats and ‘swatting’
Pete Hegseth, Elise Stefanik and Matt Gaetz are among those who were either confirmed or reported to be targeted


I understand the anger and the 'tit for tat' mentality, but BOO HISS it's not helpful. Of course, the "threats" may be fakes by the "victims", false flags by MAGAts, or foreign spoofs.

People suck.

German Christmas market attack toll rises to 5 killed, 200 injured, minister says

At least five people are now known to have been killed in the vehicle-ramming attack on a Christmas market in the German city of Magdeburg on Friday, the Minister President of Saxony-Anhalt Reiner Haseloff told journalists on Saturday.

Haseloff said that at least 200 more people were injured when a car plowed into festive market-goers in the eastern German city, around 75 miles west of the capital Berlin.

A young child and an adult were among those killed in the attack, according to Haseloff. At least 40 of those injured were so seriously hurt that their lives are still thought to be in danger, according to a Chancellor Olaf Scholz.
:crybaby:
A suspect -- a doctor from Saudi Arabia aged around 50 -- was arrested, Haselhoff said. The man has lived in Germany since 2006....
:wtf: For 18 years he has cared for Germans.

People suck.

Only slightly related - I just read that the needless atomic bombing of Nagasaki by the US in 1945 killed one quarter of Japan's Catholic population.

Wow, I did not see this twist coming:
I'm not going looking, but I'll bet that German and US social media have been full of posts from RW Islamophobe bigots since the attack. Opps.

Psychiatrist, figures.

Brilliant timing, "genius" Elon.
Elon Musk Endorses Germany's Far-Right Party: 'Only The AFD Can Save Germany'
The controversial billionaire and increasingly close confidant of President-elect Donald Trump is now sticking his head into Germany's elections.


... Musk appears naturally drawn to the AfD, whose nationalist and anti-immigration rhetoric mirrors Trump’s, and he reshared footage last year on X from a pro-AfD account that criticized Germany for subsidizing efforts to rescue refugees from drowning in the Mediterranean.

The German Foreign Office replied directly at the time to note, “It’s called saving lives.”
:---P
In September, the AfD became the first far-right party to win a state election in Germany since World War II. Its leader in Thuringia, Björn Höcke, was convicted for the second time in July for knowingly using a Nazi slogan, “Everything for Germany,” at a political event.

Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) shared his outrage about Musk’s endorsement Friday on X, writing: “The out of touch billionaire running the incoming Trump Administration announced last night that he enthusiastically supports the neo-Nazi party in Germany. WTF. NONE OF THIS OK, EVERYONE. NONE OF THIS IS NORMAL.”

Former Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) agreed, stating in a repost of Musk’s AfD endorsement: “Literally is a neo-Nazi party. Not even joking...."
It's weird.

FYI, an AfD fangirl:
Naomi Seibt (born 18 August 2000) is a German right-wing political activist. She is best known as a climate change denier and for her opposition to climate activist Greta Thunberg. Until April 2020, she was employed by the Heartland Institute, an American conservative and right-wing public policy think tank, which marketed her as the "anti-Greta". She has spoken at multiple events organized by conservative think tanks and has self-identified as a libertarian and an anarcho-capitalist.
:roll: Idiot, like a young Lara Trump. Don't let her drive!
