			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.wyff4.com/news/24390914/detail.html">WYFF is reporting</a> that Zacharia Atle Pearson stabbed the woman to death, brawled with another man and woman then went on a rampage which was abruptly concluded by an armed citizen who was forced to shoot Pearson when the cretin charged him with a lead pipe. Unfortunately he didn&#8217;t die and is currently in the hospital under guard. <a href="http://www2.wspa.com/news/2010/jul/26/13/1-dead-2-hospitalized-greenville-county-monday-mor-ar-622644/">The victim has been identified</a> as 24-year-old Christine Crane whose life was cut short by a cowardly degenerate who had a history of domestic violence:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>She&#8217;s covering her face with a bandanna so we don&#8217;t actually know if she is hot, but word on the street is that underneath her hooded sweatshirt the desperate bandit looks like this:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.greenvilledragnet.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/greenville-bandita.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1843" title="The Greenville Bandita" src="http://www.greenvilledragnet.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/greenville-bandita.jpg" alt="The Greenville Bandita" width="362" height="558" /></a></p>
<p>From <a href="http://www.foxcarolina.com/news/24246176/detail.html" target="_self">Fox Carolina</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>GREENVILLE, S.C. &#8211; Deputies said Tuesday they are searching for a woman believed to be behind three area robberies since June 3.</p>
<p>Investigators with the Greenville County Sheriff&#8217;s Office said that the 30- to 40-year-old woman was armed with a gun in two of the robberies and and a crowbar in the third. They said she was also wearing a bandanna in each of the robberies.</p>
<p>The first robbery happened at the Huddle House on North Pleasantburg Drive on June 3 at 4 a.m.</p>
<p>The second hold up happened at a Dollar General store on Locust Hill Road in Travelers Rest on June 27 about 7:30 p.m.</p>
<p>The third robbery happened at the Taylors Food Mart on Reid School Road on July 2 about 3 p.m.</p>
<p>Deputies described the woman as white, between 5 feet and 5 feet 4 inches and between 120 to 130 pounds.</p></blockquote>
<p>The reader who tipped me said it&#8217;s too bad that they didn&#8217;t put her measurements in there but I would never lower myself to that level.</p>
<p>He also said that he thinks she&#8217;ll look more like this when unmasked:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.greenvilledragnet.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/hot-bikini-big-tits-gun-girl.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1844" title="Defiance!" src="http://www.greenvilledragnet.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/hot-bikini-big-tits-gun-girl.jpg" alt="Defiance!" width="449" height="528" /></a></p>
<p>But seriously, I&#8217;m glad no one&#8217;s been hurt yet and the Greenville Bandita needs to turn herself in, and send us some exclusive photos for her fans.</p>

<p style="text-align: left;">Colby Logan agreed to babysit his girlfriend&#8217;s children. What he didn&#8217;t tell her was that by babysit he meant he&#8217;d sit at home drinking all day.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Needless to say when his girlfriend came to pick up her children she wasn&#8217;t happy. So how did Colby respond to his girlfriend&#8217;s finger wagging?</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">He tried to murder her and her kids by ramming their car with his several times.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Witnesses at the scene say the family was screaming in terror while the manic Colby repeatedly drove his car into theirs. He then fled, only to be caught later, where else, on Wade Hampton Blvd.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">He&#8217;s being held on $25,000 bond.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The moral of this story? If you need a babysitter, you may not want to hire Colby Logan.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>First there was a vicious &#8220;hate crime&#8221; that just happened to involve <a href="http://www.greenvilledragnet.com/a-brutal-race-killing-between-friends/" target="_self">two men who had been friends for years</a>.</p>
<p>Then the <a href="http://www.greenvilledragnet.com/wspa-calls-radical-black-muslim-terror-cult-a-black-group/" target="_self">New Black Panther Party hate cult</a> showed up <a href="http://www.greenvilledragnet.com/new-black-panthers-jihadists-stirring-up-racial-hatred-in-newberry/" target="_self">threatening to cause more racial strife</a>.</p>
<p>And let&#8217;s not forget Jesus Lopez, the  &#8220;tattoo artist&#8221; <a href="http://www.greenvilledragnet.com/home-tattoos-are-a-really-bad-idea-unless-you-want-to-contract-a-potentially-fatal-infection/" target="_self">who put two underage teens in the hospital with staph infections</a>.</p>
<p>Now we have a 35-year-old <a href="http://www.foxcarolina.com/news/24225376/detail.html#" target="_self">David Jackson kidnapping his infant son</a> after what police describe as a &#8220;vicious&#8221; assault on the child&#8217;s mother by him and <a href="http://www.newberrycounty.net/sheriff/toddpics/archives/updatedamberalertflyer.pdf" target="_self">his stable of street walkers</a>, one of whom is only identified as a woman named &#8220;Bunny.&#8221; Luckily this story had a happy ending (no offense to Jackson&#8217;s three &#8220;traveling companions&#8221;) and little Drake Boyd is home safe and hopefully herpes free.</p>
<p>From <a href="http://www.foxcarolina.com/news/24225376/detail.html#" target="_self">Fox Carolina</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>NEWBERRY, S.C. &#8212; The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation said that Drake Boyd has been located and recovered safely. Greene County authorities said his father, David Jackson, is not in custody.</p>
<p>[...]</p>
<p>Deputies said that a trooper stopped to check on an abandoned vehicle found in the emergency lane of eastbound Interstate 26 near mile marker 74 just after 8 a.m. They said that when the trooper ran the vehicle&#8217;s license plate number, he discovered the car was stolen from Tennessee and contacted Newberry County deputies.</p>
<p>Investigators said that the vehicle found matched the description of a vehicle believed to be involved in the kidnapping of Drake Boyd from his mother&#8217;s home in Greene County, Tenn.</p>
<p>Deputies said that they launched a massive search of the area surrounding the car in an effort to find Drake and the suspect in the case, 35-year-old David Jackson.</p></blockquote>
<p>Let&#8217;s hope they find Jackson soon, before he sics his pack of hookers on some other innocent person.</p>
<p>Judging from his mugshot on Fox Carolina I can tell you one thing that&#8217;s probably in the water in Newberry &#8211; marijuana.  Funny, you just don&#8217;t see people who have embraced sobriety bringing hookers across state lines to attack their baby momma.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.newblackpanther.com/intro.html" target="_self">The New Black Panther Party</a> is a radical Islamist/Black Supremacist cult that is not only unaffiliated with the Black Panthers but has been sued by the original Panthers for stealing their name. I predicted that they&#8217;d be in town stirring the pot in the Anthony Hill murder (a murder that <a href="http://www.greenvilledragnet.com/a-brutal-race-killing-between-friends/" target="_self">happened between two men who were good friends</a> according to Hill&#8217;s family, so it clearly isn&#8217;t a hate crime) and so they are.</p>
<p><a href="http://www2.wspa.com/news/2010/jul/06/4/solicitor-prepares-grand-jury-indictment-shooting--ar-467011/" target="_self">WSPA has video</a> of these miscreants making threats and attempting to force the police, via intimidation, into charging Gregory Collins with a hate crime. They are helping to organize a march on Newberry which they hope will turn violent:</p>
<p><object width="429" height="295"><param name="movie" value="http://vp.mgnetwork.net/viewer.swf?u=8cbe1490da9e102da6fd001ec92a4a0d&#038;z=SPA" ></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://vp.mgnetwork.net/viewer.swf?u=8cbe1490da9e102da6fd001ec92a4a0d&#038;z=SPA" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="429" height="295"></embed></object></p>
<p>The Dr. Huey P. Newton Foundation <a href="http://www.blackpanther.org/newsalert.htm" target="_self">has released a scathing attack on the NBPP</a> claiming, among other things, that the original Black Panthers &#8220;operated on love for black people, not hatred of white people.&#8221; Er, sure. The real issue between the two is that the original Black Panthers were Communists/Socialists while the NBPP is a crazy Black Muslim cult &#8230; <a href="http://www.wolo.com/article.php?id=3940&amp;page=index" target="_self">that&#8217;s getting pretty popular</a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.greenvilledragnet.com/wspa-calls-radical-black-muslim-terror-cult-a-black-group/" target="_self">Since the NBPP advocates killing White people</a> their appearance in our state is something we should all be concerned about.</p>

<p style="text-align: left;">Fox Carolina is reporting that there have been three more arrests in the <a href="http://www.greenvilledragnet.com/local-media-man-killed-in-dollar-general-had-it-coming/" target="_self">brutal and senseless Joshua Bryant murder</a>. Bryant was gunned down at a Dollar General when he saw armed men enter the store while waiting for his mother, who happened to be shopping there. When he went to protect his mother, he was murdered.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://www.foxcarolina.com/news/24043951/detail.html#" target="_self">Now Dewayne Gregory Jr., Derek Duncan, and Avery Thomas, were arrested and charged with murder and armed robbery</a>. The trigger man, Tremaine Davis, was already arrested but these three were involved in the planning of the robbery. Duncan and Thomas were on scene as the getaway driver and lookout respectively. Gregory may or may not have been there but police are saying he provided Davis with the gun used to murder Bryant. Hopefully justice will be done in this case.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://www.joshcbryant.com/" target="_self">There&#8217;s a Joshua Bryant memorial page</a> up for you to visit. You can pay your respects and donate to help the family with the funeral costs.</p>

<p><strong>A squad of 15 to 20 police officers brought the crowd under control</strong> near 11 p.m.</p>
<p>The two teenagers were detained shortly after the 10 p.m. curfew, when anyone younger than 18 and unaccompanied by an adult must be off the streets in the downtown area.</p>
<p>Greenville Police Lt. Mike Hudson said one woman was arrested.</p>
<p><strong>Hudson said he ordered every officer who “wasn&#8217;t on a (911) call” into the area</strong>.</p></blockquote>
<p>15-20 officers aren&#8217;t needed to &#8220;bring a crowd under control&#8221; due to &#8220;scattered fights&#8221; and a few rowdies in a downtown don&#8217;t usually prompt whoever is in charge that evening to order every cop not dealing with an emergency to flood an area. Sorry Mr. Walton, but I&#8217;m thinking this incident was more serious than you&#8217;re making it out to be.</p>
<p>Being a homebody I&#8217;m rarely downtown these days, but I&#8217;m told that there&#8217;s a rough element out and about. Falls Park is popular at night for both the atmosphere and the drugs. The plaza next to Spill the Beans is known to be a &#8220;corner&#8221; for dealers and the park itself provides plenty of unlit areas where kids like to get high among other things. Parents are apparently still in the habit of dropping off their spoiled brats with a wad of cash in the downtown on the weekends, and frankly we should be charging them for the damage those kids are causing.</p>
<p>At the very least the parents of the children involved should be forced to pay for the hours our police weren&#8217;t able to deal with other crimes while babysitting their ill-spawn brood.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When 24-year-old Jessica Mercer pulled up to the intersection of Edwards and Ike Roads early yesterday afternoon she, like a lot of people, didn&#8217;t give the fact her car doors were unlocked a second thought. <a href="http://www.foxcarolina.com/news/23847572/detail.html" target="_self">Then an unknown assailant entered her car from the passenger side and drew a knife</a>, directing the terrified woman to Cherrydale where he robbed her and ran off.</p>
<p>She was lucky. Many people taken to secondary crime scenes are raped and often murdered. It is for this reason most competent self defense experts will tell you never to comply with a demand that you leave the vicinity with an assailant. You have a better chance of surviving being shot or stabbed in a public place where you will be discovered than in some deserted area a criminal has picked out as a good place to rob, rape or murder you. All too often they are looking to do all three, and not necessarily in that order.</p>
<p>Keep your car doors locked at all times, and passenger window closed. If you don&#8217;t want a gun for self defense there are plenty of pepper sprays out there. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B002E6VAHK/ref=nosim?tag=gvdn-20" target="_self">Bear spray</a> is a potent form of pepper spray that comes packaged in units with longer ranges than regular sprays. Because it&#8217;s made for bears it&#8217;s much more effective than self-defense sprays, but also more likely to cause a bad reaction in someone it&#8217;s used on. South Carolina is lousy with Taser distributors and those devices are fairly effective. Please check the laws in your locality before making any of these purchases.</p>
<p>Nothing beats a snub nosed revolver, in my humble opinion, for putting an end to a carjacking spree but I understand some of you bleeding hearts out there may not want to kill a man who&#8217;s planning on raping you to death so there you go.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So much for the myth of the violent tea parties. The Tea Partiers called for a cop when some guy who thinks George W. Bush deregulated the financial industry (it was Clinton by the way) got all punchy with him and his wife. In the video, the violent extremist can be heard to exclaim &#8220;Oh! My Gosh!&#8217; while others call for police. No wonder people are terrified of them.</p>
<p><a href="http://atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/atlas_shrugs/2010/06/north-carolina-bailout-protesters-viciously-attacked.html" target="_self">Video courtesy Atlas Shrugs</a>. The mayhem starts around 1:30 if you&#8217;re pressed for time:</p>
<p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="425" height="350" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/dpxKhmKwxAs" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="350" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/dpxKhmKwxAs"></embed></object></p>
<p>So what was this guy so angry about? He didn&#8217;t like financial policy debates &#8230; that he started? This is why before every political debate I tape my fists and stretch out.</p>
<p>Off topic: This is why I hate seeing those North Carolinians hanging around Greenville. They&#8217;re nothing but trouble.</p>
