Miami Police Officer Shot Innocent Unarmed Black Man As He Protected Autistic Patient Then Says He Doesn’t Know Why He Fired At Him (Video)

A Miami Police officer shot 46-year-old therapist, Charles Kinsey, who was caring for his 23-year-old autistic student. Kinsey and the student were on the ground. Kinsey, a black man, had his hands up in surrender and was laying on his back stating, “Don’t shoot me” and informed the officers his autistic patient had a toy truck in his hand and not a gun. 

The police officer opened fire shooting at Kinsey three times. Kinsey was shot in the leg. Kinsey exclaimed, “Sir, why did you shoot me?” The officer responded “I don’t know.” Rather than get Kinsey help, the officer cuffed and arrested him and his autistic patient. Foul! 

The officer’s name is being withheld by North Miami Beach Police Chief Gary Eugene. It has since been revealed police were trying to shoot the autistic man, which is even worse on their part. The officer should face criminal charges and be stripped of his badge, because if he does something like this again, he could kill an innocent person. Kinsey should sue them as well. However, police are already discussing a potential settlement. 


Police shot Charles Kinsey who was laying on the ground, hands up in surrender and stating "Don't shoot me!" Kinsey disabled, autistic patient sits beside him understandably confused at why they are being criminally harassed by police.
 
This is not the first time something like this has happened in Miami. It reminds me of a similar story regarding what transpired in Miami in 2011, regarding one of the disabled adult students at the school my mother used to teach. All the students were wonderful, mentally disabled adults who were learning life skills and how to function in the world. It was great to see them grow as people in learning everyday things you and I often taken for granted. 

One of the disabled students who attended the school was a 56-year-old mentally impaired black man named Ernest. He was a kind, sweet and humorous man, who due to his mental disability, had the mental age of an 8-year-old. He was a very nice man and good person loved by all who knew him. He would say things that made people smile or laugh. 

One day he found a toy gun on the street that fascinated him. Officers confronted him. An officer yelled at him regarding the toy, believing the gun was real and shot and killed him. Ernest's neighbors on the street stated to reporters that police should have known he was disabled. If they had talked to Ernest for even a few seconds they would have realized he was mentally disabled. However, they didn't bother. They killed him instead. Everybody was devastated. Ernest was killed like his life wasn’t worth anything. He didn’t deserve that. Nothing came of the incident, as the police officer got away with it, while Ernest lost his life. It was not right. However, that's the justice system for you - corrupt.


Charles Kinsey reenacts the shooting in the hospital to illustrate the injustice that transpired against him
 
It was piss poor police work. And this is what troubles me about so many incidents like this, the ease and quickness with which some, not all officers, take a life. Why be so confrontational. Why not exercise some consideration for human life. Why not be negotiators instead of adversarial individuals so aggressively confronting others. 

In some cases select officer are putting themselves in trouble in going right up to people then killing them (Alton Sterling, Tamir Rice, Philando Castile, Eric Garner and many others). Why not maintain a safe distance and negotiate with the subject. Talk to them from a safe space. Even use the bull horn from your squad car. Why charge right up to people and shot within seconds, then claim your life was in danger. That’s a load of crap. You put your life in danger doing that and often against unarmed people. 

If criminals open fire on police, then yes, officers' lives are most certainly in danger. But to shoot at a person who has their arms up in surrender or has their back turned to you running away is patently wrong. That’s not justice. That’s an execution. That’s vengeance. That’s anger and vindictiveness stating through actions, "How dare you run away from me." 

Once again, not all officer do this, but some do and thousands of people in America have died brutal deaths because of it. Officers owe the public a duty of care. At the end of the day, some people just aren't cut out to be police officers and innocent people paid for it with their lives (Police Officer Who Shot And Killed 12-Year-Old Black Boy Was Initially Rejected From The Police Force As 'Mentally Unprepared' And 'Weepy').

N. Miami Beach Officer Shoots Mentally Disabled Man Carrying Toy Gun
 
August 31, 2011 11:15 PM - North Miami Beach Police are piecing together an officer-involved shooting that left a mentally disabled man dead early Wednesday evening. Officers tell CBS4′s Natalia Zea that a man carrying a rifle was seen walking through a neighborhood in the area of Northeast 155th Terrace and 14th Avenue. 

Witnesses say the man even pointing the rifle at a dog at one point. Police say several neighbors called 911 to report the incident. Police say when officers arrived, there was some sort of confrontation and one officer to open fire on the man. But their investigation revealed that the “rifle” was in fact, a realistic looking toy. The injured man was taken to Jackson Memorial Hospital where he later died. 

Family members say the man police killed is 56-year-old Ernest Vassell. “They murdered him in cold blood for a toy gun!” cried Vassell’s older sister Claire Harding. “That’s no reason for you to kill somebody!” Vassell’s sisters say they have never seen him with a toy gun, they believe he must have found it somewhere. They say he was mentally disabled after a brain injury as a child and that he has never been violent. 

“They could tell him to drop the gun, they say they told him to drop it and he raised his hand, he probably raised his hand to hand them the gun because he is afraid of police,” said Harding. The family is demanding answers and changes to the North Miami Beach Police Department. “They should train these police officers better,” said Harding. “This is ridiculous, they just go around killing people for nothing.” 

Police maintain the toy gun appeared to be a real rifle. One officer is on administrative leave while police and the state attorney’s office investigate.

Select Mortgage Companies In America Such As First Guaranty Mortgage Corporation Are Asking Consumers Their Race In Loan Applications Then Using It To Discriminate In Denying Loans


The LinkedIn profile of First Guaranty Mortgage Corporation CEO, Andrew Peters. First Guaranty Mortgage is owned by Kenneth E. Clark.
 
First Guaranty Mortgage Corporation, a company based in Virginia, is engaging in discriminatory and financially abusive acts against minorities, the disabled and people living in America of foreign origin, who try to obtain a mortgage with their company to buy a home. It is an ongoing, illegal practice damaging innocent people. Companies that behave in this manner should be put out of business. 

Recently, the city of Miami sued Wells Fargo bank for discriminating against minorities and people living in America of foreign extraction, who tried to apply for home loans. A suspect Miami judge threw out the City Of Miami's valid case. However, a three judge appeals court in Washington, D.C. reinstated the case. You know judicial corruption has gotten terrible in America when a judge can corruptly throw out a case brought by the government.

In the appeals case City Of Miami vs. Wells Fargo & Co., (No. 14-14544 and D.C. Docket No. 1:13-cv-24508-WPD) the City of Miami prevailed as a panel of three district judges in Washington affirmed their complaint and remanded it back to the district court via a ruling that stated:

"The City’s charges were further amplified by the statements of several confidential witnesses who claimed that the Bank deliberately targeted black and Latino borrowers for predatory loans. For example, one former loan officer attested that Wells Fargo management steered low- and middle-income borrowers away from less expensive Community Reinvestment Act loans and toward more expensive Fair Housing Act and Freddie Mac loans. Id. at 36. Another claimed that the Bank targeted minority churches and their congregations for subprime loans. Id. at 37. A third claimed that Hispanic borrowers’ applications for refinancing were disproportionately denied: ‘a Rodriguez in the last name was treated differently than a Smith,’ he stated."

Let that sink in. There are mortgage companies in America, such as First Guaranty Mortgage Corporation and banks like Wells Fargo, who are discriminating against consumers in America based on them having ethnic sounding names such as "Rodriguez" or "Latisha" or "Mohammed" (black, Hispanic, Arab), hitting them with bigger loan fees and bad financial instruments, in bids at financially exploiting and abusing minorities and immigrants. That's terrible.

You know, the last lending institution who was caught doing that, Washington Mutual, is no more. The Judiciary Report ran a series of articles on Washington Mutual's criminal practices against minorities and within a couple years the company spectacularly collapsed, the remains bought for pennies on the dollar by Chase Bank (Washington Mutual Collapses Seized By Government and Washington Mutual Is No More). First Guaranty Mortgage Corporation needs to heed the warning, as that is what they are firmly headed for regarding their unlawful behavior. Said discriminatory, financially abusive practices costing minorities and immigrants money, homes and loans needs to stop.

There will be more on First Guaranty Mortgage Corporation in an upcoming Judiciary Report exposé.

Report: Hillary Clinton Took Cocaine, Had An Abortion And Referred To Disabled Children Using The R-Word

You Know When Voting Time Is Near, As Everybody's Business Starts Coming Out


Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton and their daughter Chelsea Clinton
 
Sally Miller, a former Miss Arkansas, who did a tell all alleging current U.S. presidential candidate, Hillary Clinton is a lesbian (which has been stated by many), took cocaine and had an abortion when then boyfriend, now husband, Bill Clinton knocked her up before they got married. Miller, who had an affair with former President Bill Clinton, stated he has a small penis alleging he is, "Hung like a child." Those are some serious allegations. The gay rumors have circled Hillary Clinton for years, with many stating she is having a lesbian affair with her aide, Huma Abedin. 


Hillary Clinton
 
The most serious claim that hit Clinton this week is that she allegedly referred to disabled children as "r*****s." Tell all author Dolly Kyle stated Clinton made the comment  at the Governor's mansion in Arkansas. Clinton is accused of stating during an Easter egg hunt,"When are they going to get those f—ing r******s out of here?'" I really hope she didn't say that about disabled children. That would be a really foul and vile thing to say.

SALLY MILLER: Hillary and her ‘coke habit’

May 10, 2016 - When I asked Bill if he shared his fantasies with Hillary, he laughed. “What a joke! Sex is a waste of time to Hillary. When we were dating, she talked about making-out with her girlfriends in college because she knew it turned me on. Hillary seemed worldly and more sexually-experienced than me and, at the time, I liked it.” 

“Before we married, I got her pregnant and she had an abortion. It bothered me because I didn’t know about it until it was over. Then, several months after the wedding, she slipped up again because she was too lazy to take the pill. “Hillary hates kids. She was one nasty b**ch when she was pregnant. My G-d, for nine months, she made my life a living hell and blamed me! 

“From the beginning, our political advisors warned us that Hillary must take my last name and concentrate on having a child if I was going to have a future in politics. I saw the real Hillary after we got married. “She’s a damn frigid b***h who prefers women; she won’t even compromise and be bi-sexual. All I hear is how much she despises penises; she thinks they are f***ing ugly, like snakes.”
Bill mentioned, “The only time Hillary gets aroused or agree to ‘play sexy’ is after she snorts coke. But, even then, she’s rigid and frigid. Hillary goes ape-s**t crazy–I mean screams, hits, and cusses–if I touch her breasts! Right after we started fooling around, she warned me to stay away from her tits, even telling me: ‘If you want to nurse–go home to your momma!’” 

Hillary Clinton despised Bill’s brother Roger but, she had to be nice to him since he supplied her coke habit. (Roger Clinton was charged with and convicted of a cocaine-related offense in 1985 and pardoned by Bill in 2001.) Bill talked about Hillary taking off work lots of times, desperate to find Roger. She cursed Roger but, at the same time, she had to be nice since he was her only source of coke. She smoked weed but coke was her addiction. 

I recall Bill saying, “Everyone, including my staff, people at the law firm, even friends, knows Hillary is a cokehead but that’s okay. We tolerate Hillary on coke cause without it, Hillary’s a raving maniac. “My G-d, we’ve had to borrow money to replace lamps, chairs, all kinds of valuable shit in the governor’s mansion just because of Hillary’s temper! I’ve had to take Chelsea outside many times to keep her out of Hillary’s ‘line of fire.’ Without her ‘fix’ Hillary’s Hell on Wheels.”...

Alleged Mistress: Bill Clinton Is Hung Like A Child

11:59 AM 05/03/2016 - Former Miss Arkansas Sally Miller — allegedly once President Bill Clinton’s mistress — wrote this week that the former president’s manhood “performed well but, it was a little-boy penis that just never quite–grew-up.” In a sexually graphic column, Miller wrote, “I have no doubt Bill perfected his oral-sex skills by practicing on women other than Hillary [Clinton].” 

Writing for The American Mirror, Miller recounted her alleged experiences in a torrid three-month affair with Bill Clinton in 1983, when he was governor of Arkansas. Miller wrote that she and Clinton had 14 total rendezvouses. “Bill’s not the most handsome man I’ve known but he made me feel like my breasts were the right size, my legs were the perfect length, I had an incredible body and, on top of all that, I was beautiful,” Miller claimed. “There aren’t many men who know how to make a woman feel that way.”

Miller went on to write that Clinton “could sometimes be a clown in the bedroom and… I soon guessed why. As long as our relationship stayed playful, I might not take a ‘second look’ at the size of his penis. Yes, it performed well but, it was a little-boy penis that just never quite–grew-up.” The future president was “multi-faceted in bed which made up for his small package,” alleged Miller...

Hillary horror! 'Get those f-ing r*****s out of here'
 
Published: 2 days ago - Those are said to be the infamous words of Hillary Clinton – also known as Arkansas’ “Mother of the Year” in 1984 – when Hillary reportedly grew frustrated that handicapped children weren’t collecting their Easter eggs quickly enough on the lawn of the Arkansas governor’s mansion. 

“[T]he children were having a wonderful time. But they were having a v-e-r-y, v-e-r-y, v-e-r-y s-l-o-w time of finding and picking up the Easter eggs,” wrote Dolly Kyle – a childhood sweetheart of Bill Clinton who had a 33-year relationship with him – in her new book, “Hillary the Other Woman: A Political Memoir.” Kyle recounted the story as told to her by Arkansas State Police troopers and Louise, a mutual friend of both Kyle and the Clintons and a longtime advocate of what was then the Arkansas Association for Retarded Citizens. 

“Hillary had enough. She stomped up the grass to the shaded veranda on the back of the mansion … and accosted one of the troopers,” Kyle wrote. "At this point the story diverges a bit. Some people say there was an open microphone; others said that Hillary could be heard across the yard because she was yelling. … At any rate, the frustrated Me-First Lady demanded, ‘When are they going to get those f—ing r******s out of here?'"...

Obama Administration Financial Cuts To Assistance For The Poor And Disabled While His Cabinet Lives Lavishly Off The American Taxpayers Speaks Volumes (Video)

 
Florida Governor Rick Scott and U.S. President Barack Obama
 
Recently, Florida governor, Rick Scott, was on the receiving end of a profane tirade in Gainsville, Florida. A woman slammed Scott in a Starbucks over budget cuts he has made in office regarding women's health care . It is understandable the government would seek to balance the budget. However, cutting funds to the disabled, pregnant women and poor in any society, while government officials have luxury chauffeured cars, credit cards and big expense accounts, is unethical and inhumane.
 
The Obama Administration has cut funding for the disabled (both children and adults) on a federal level, which puts undue pressure on states, while people in the president's cabinet live the high life off the American taxpayers, via first class travel accommodations, padded expense accounts and big pay packets that are undeserved and inappropriate. Obama also gives billions of dollars in U.S. taxpayer money to his pet projects, such as solar projects, which have now failed.
 
It's amazing how the government can make sweeping cuts to programs for children, the disabled, disadvantaged and financially impoverished, but as the Tupac lyric states, "They've got money for wars but can't feed the poor." The government spends trillions on wars, but makes massive cuts to programs to help the needy.
 
A partially blind old lady asked me to read to her a letter addressed to her from the disability office in Florida, regarding how much assistance she would be getting and it stated $379.00 per month and that they had begun to reduce the previous figure by $79.00 monthly. I thought to myself, how can she live on that. The most basic one bedroom apartment in Miami, Florida is approximately $700.00 per month. Yet government officials in Florida and Washington, D.C. are being chauffeured around in $80,000 luxury cars on the taxpayer's dime, when they can afford to buy their own cars out of their paychecks.
 
Warning: video contains explicit language

 
I know several people who work with the disabled in the State of Florida. It is a rewarding field. However, the government makes it difficult for those who take care of the disabled, due to budget cuts, excessive amounts of paperwork and highly stressful file reviews. This also becomes burdensome for the disabled having to deal with the massive amounts of paperwork. People are sick and the government is demanding the disabled fill out enough paperwork to fill up a book.
 
Government disability offices in Florida are also questionably run. They tell the disabled to come in for reviews and monitoring, like it's parole, then hours before closing send people with impairments home, with instructions to come back the next day, as they are not of the belief they can see them on that day. So why tell people to come in. It is highly unprofessional and callous.
 
When you realize how much people with physical impairments go through to get up out of bed, bathe, get dressed and take transportation, then to be told come back the next day, hours (not minutes) before a disability office closes, it is disgraceful, vile and nonsensical. You can always tell a lot about an administration by the way it treats the poor and disabled.
 
Side Bar: There will be follow-ups to this article shortly and again around election time.

14 Dead And 17 Wounded In Shooting By 3 Jihadis At A California Disability Center


Syed Farook

14 were killed and 17 wounded by 3 masked shooters in a vicious shooting at the Inland Regional Center, located in San Bernardino, California, during their annual Christmas party. The 44-year-old non-profit organization provides support and assistance to 35,000 disabled people in the area. 10 of the 17 people wounded in the incident are listed in "critical condition" at local hospitals. The shooters wore combat style clothing and used automatic weapons.

 

Hours before the shooters were identified, ISIS began celebrating the shooting using the Twitter hashtag #America_Burning. This coupled with the religion of the shooters leads many to believe the incident is a terrorist attack. One of the shooters has been identified as Syed Farook, a married man with children, who is an environmental inspector and American citizen, who worked for the state of California. Farook is being described as a devout Muslim.


Another of the shooters has been identified as Farook's brother. A third shooter was described on police scanners as an "Arabic woman." Two of the three suspects, one of them the woman, has been killed in a shoot out with police, as the left Farook's house in Redlands, California. A police officer was wounded during the battle. The police did a quick and thorough job in identifying, finding and cornering the shooters, who tried to flee in a black SUV.

By James King and Adi Cohen on Dec 02, 2015 at 6:34 PM - ISIS extremists began celebrating the mass shooting in San Bernardino hours after the massacre, creating the hashtag #America_Burning, Vocativ discovered. The Islamic State, however, did not take credit for the shootings in the ghoulish postings. Vocativ deep web analysts discovered the ISIS posts on web forums where the extremists frequently share information. More San Bernardino Shooting Is The Deadliest Since Sandy Hook
“Three lions made us proud. They are still alive,” one ISIS adherent tweeted in Arabic after the shootings at Inland Regional Center in San Bernardino. “California streets are full with soldiers with heavy weapons. The Unites States is burning #America_Burning #Takbir”...

“God is great and he the one to be praised for that,” another supporter posted in the forum in Arabic. “This is hell with god’s will.” But the hashtag was primarily used on Twitter where one ISIS extremist taunted the United States with a tweet that read “Let America know a new era #California #America_burning.”

Another ISIS supporter posted in reference to the shooting on Twitter, “God is the greatest. May god spread fear in the homes of the Crusaders.”... One of the suspects was identified by multiple sources as Syed Farook. He’s believed to have worked at the San Bernardino County Public Health Department, which held a holiday party at the center where the shooting took place on Wednesday...
 

Suspect ID'd in San Bernardino Massacre as Syed Farook - Killer?

Boycott First Guaranty Mortgage Corporation And Coester VMS Who Are Scammers And Con Artists Engaging In Discrimination While Ripping Off People Seeking Mortgages


First Guaranty Mortgage Corporation

Beware of the companies First Guaranty Mortgage Corporation and Coester VMS, as they are discriminating against minorities, people with disabilities and immigrants, who apply for mortgages. This is illegal in America and violates federal and state laws. However, they are doing this. First Guaranty Mortgage Corporation uses the faulty appraisal company, Coester VMS, who collects hefty fees, then undervalues properties, destroying good real estate deals. This also allows others affiliated with them to swoop in on equity laden properties, such as those under foreclosure that are up for sale, despite the fact mortgage applicants found the properties fair and square.

 

Coester VMS (Value Management Services)

First Guaranty Mortgage Corporation leaves the appraisal process for last, running up thousands in fees that mortgage applicants must pay in order to obtain a loan. By the time mortgage applicants are thousands of dollars into the process, thinking their loan will close on the date issued, within a couple days of closing, First Guaranty Mortgage Corporation calls the entire thing off.


First Guaranty Mortgage Corporation

This costs mortgage applicants thousands of dollars in real estate fees. Then, First Guaranty Mortgage Corporation will encourage mortgage applicants to find another property to start the paperwork heavy process all over again, running up thousands of dollars in additional fees. Buyer beware. Avoid First Guaranty Mortgage and Coester VMS. Seek your loan and appraisal needs elsewhere, lest you lose thousands of dollars and waste valuable time.

School Forces Disabled Teen With Down Syndrome And Autism To Take Off His Varsity Letter Jacket


Michael Kelly

Michael Kelly is a teenager who has autism and Down Syndrome. He attends Wichita East High School and plays basketball for the school's special needs team. Kelly began wearing a letter jacket his mother purchased for him, worn by the varsity team. When Kelly wore it to school, select members of the faculty forced him to remove the varsity jacket and wear a sweatshirt.

When questioned about forcing special needs student Kelly to remove the varsity jacket, Wichita East High School's principal Ken Thiessen stated, "Teachers told the parents they would prefer he not wear the letter on his jacket. We have considered it, and our decision was no. We decided that it is not appropriate in our situation because it is not a varsity level competition."

This is much ado about nothing. Allowing a special needs student to wear a varsity jacket is not a big deal. It would show kindness. However, forcing him to remove the jacket is a big deal. It's an insult that needs to be rectified. Special needs students who play sports should be allowed to wear varsity jackets.

Principal forces student with Down syndrome to remove high school letter jacket

By Mike Foss March 27, 2015 1:26 pm ET - Michael Kelly is a high school student who plays on Wichita East’s special needs basketball team. His mother bought Kelly a letter jacket and a varsity letter to show his participation. But when Kelly, who has Down syndrome and autism, wore the jacket to school, he was forced to remove it and put on a sweatshirt instead. Why?

According to school principal Ken Thiessen, it’s because Kelly isn’t actually on the varsity team. “Teachers told the parents they would prefer he not wear the letter on his jacket,” Thiessen told KSN TV adding that he would not allow special needs teams to have letters. “We have considered it, and our decision was no. We decided that it is not appropriate in our situation because it is not a varsity level competition.”

There isn’t a district policy prohibiting Wichita East from giving letters to special needs athletes. According to the KSN report, district athletic director J. Means told the Kelly family that when he oversaw athletics at Wichita Northwest, he allowed letters for special needs students. “It’s not just my son, It’s every student that was out there last night,” Michael’s mother Jolinda Kelly said. “It’s every student that is there on Fridays, that plays their hardest.”

Update: A Change.org petition asking Wichita East to allow special needs students to letter has over 10,000 signatures.

Mayor Of London Boris Johnson Declines Paralympian Hannah Cockroft's Request To Spend A Day In A Wheelchair


Hannah Cockroft

British Paralympian gold medalist Hannah Cockroft challenged London Mayor, Boris Johnson, to spend a day in a wheelchair, to help understand the difficulties disabled people go through when taking public transport. Johnson politely declined her request, but expressed his willingness to work with the disabled to upgrade the London tube system.

Johnson is a brilliant man, but he's had a few little mishaps that became a source of national humor. Maneuvering a wheelchair all day is not easy and if Johnson were to accidentally crash into something or fall out of the chair, the press and public would have a field day and the true message of the exercise would inadvertently be lost. Hey, even Einstein had his clumsy moments. May I remind Hannah (LOL):


Off topic for a minute, the chicks certainly like him:


Having said that (LOL) Johnson is a good sport and an innovative mayor, who is set to move up the ranks

I've taken the tubes many times. They are very efficient and cover a significant amount of ground. I found it to be the best in the world. However, as the tubes were built in the early 1900s, elevator and wheelchair access were not incorporated into the system.

 There are select stations with elevator access, but all tubes stations do not currently have this feature. Retrofitting would be a solution. It would take time and money, but with some inventiveness it could work. Some stations have two or more small offices. One could be retrofitted for elevator access, provided it lines up with the platform at a strategic location. Small structures could be added to stations, as an addition at each, housing an elevator and touch pass outlet. As stated above, it would take money, time and planning, but it can be done.

Boris declines challenge by Paralympian to spend day in a wheelchair

Last updated Fri 3 Oct 2014 - Boris Johnson declines a challenge by Paralympic champion Hannah Cockroft to spend a day in a wheelchair. She claims wheelchair access is so bad on the tube he would not be able to get to all of his appointments...

"The Mayor thanks Hannah for her passionate efforts to highlight the challenges wheelchair users face using public transport and will ask TfL to work with her to gain further understanding of the issues she raises.
He is very aware of the difficulties that are posed by our 150 year-old Tube network and that the picture for disabled people travelling in the capital is far from perfect.

London has one of the most accessible transport networks in the world, but delivering continued improvements is a key priority for the Mayor.

– Mayor of London"

Genetic Testing On The Unborn To Detect Disability On The Rise But Is It Ethical


Genetic testing has become more prominent regarding unborn babies. Men and women are opting for genetic tests to detect disability in their unborn, which sadly leads to more abortions. Recessive traits in one or both parents can cause severe disability, but so can exposure to toxic substances during pregnancy (accidentally such as carcinogens or intentionally due to drug addiction) and accidents in the delivery room.


The genetic tests available are not always accurate, as researchers and doctors have found. There are cases where the tests failed to detect disability and others where it detected health issues that were not present in the unborn baby. It is not an exact science at this point in time.

Everyone wants their baby to be born healthy with every advantage in life. However, it does not always happen that way and for many it is devastating. It is not that they do not love their child, but they want them to be completely healthy. Some babies are born with mental and or physical disabilities and there is nothing wrong with that. It does not mean they are less than anyone else. There are mentally disabled people that show greater talents than some individuals without disability.

There are millions of disabled people in the world, who lead very productive lives. Having written that, specific disabilities do carry a shorter life expectancy and parents face the heartbreak of their offspring’s early death. However, science is working to treat disability, in an effort to increase mental and physical capacity and life span.

Airline Sued For Making Disabled Man Crawl To The Airplane Not Getting Him A Wheelchair

 

Delta Airlines has been sued by, D. Baraka Kanaan, a disabled man from Hawii for making him have to crawl to the airplane along the tarmac, up the steps, then to his seat, as they did not have a wheelchair available for him to use. Kanaan stated he requested a wheelchair weeks in advance.

The problem occurred again on his return flight. This entire episode was a blatant violation of the Americans With Disabilities Act and Delta needs to fix this and fix it fast. Airports are usually excellent at having wheelchairs available. Someone did not do their job in this case and a disabled man paid the price for it.

Disabled man sues airline, claiming he was 'forced to crawl'

July 29, 2013 - A man from Hawaii filed a lawsuit against Delta Air Lines claiming that in July 2012 he had to crawl across the tarmac while traveling to and from Nantucket because the airline failed to accommodate a severe disability that left him unable to use his legs.

According to the suit, filed July 23 in U.S. District Court in Hawaii, D. Baraka Kanaan was "forced to crawl across an airport tarmac, up and down the stairs of an airplane, down the aisle of the aircraft and out of and into his seat" while boarding a flight last summer from Maui to Nantucket and again when boarding a return flight from Nantucket to Maui, where Kanaan lives...

3-Year-Old Girl Detained By Homeland Security Outraging The Public (Video)

"Girl in Wheelchair, 3, Detained by TSA: Caught on Tape" 



TSA detained and screened a terrified 3-year-old wheelchair bound girl, who was distressed by the entire episode. The incident was caught on camera and turned over to press outlets. People are outraged the child was treated in this manner in being screened by airport security. In fact, they may have violated the Americans With Disabilities Act, in how they handled the matter. Children deserve better treatment, especially a disabled child. An apology is owed.

Gold Medalist Sprinter Oscar Pistorius Arrested And Charged With The Murder Of His Girlfriend Model Reeva Steenkamp (Videos)




26-year-old Paralympic gold medalist, Oscar Pistorius, has been arrested and charged with the death of his beautiful girlfriend, 30-year-old model and law student, Reeva Steenkamp. The tragedy occurred at his home in Pretoria, South Africa. Pistorius is stating he mistook Steenkamp for an intruder. However, police are stating they are "surprised" at his account of events.



Police are currently investigating the matter and hopefully all the evidence and details will come out in the case, to enable the public and court to understand what truly happened that night. Pistorius is being detained in jail overnight and is scheduled to face a judge in the morning for his first hearing in the criminal case. The two have been dating since the time of the wonderful 2012 London Paralympic games, which changed the public's perception of disability in a positive way. 

Oscar Pistorius being taken into custody
As with any mainstream case, the press is digging for all the information that can be obtained. Thus far, TMZ is reporting, in 2009 Pistorius was arrested for "assaulting a woman" who later dropped the charges. There are also claims in the public domain that previously police have allegedly been to Pistorius' home regarding "domestic violence" issues.


Reeva Steenkamp and Oscar Pistorius 

This story is truly sad and I'm sorry it happened. Pistorius has struggled with so much due to his disabilities, but in spite of it done so well on the track and with his charity. Just a few days ago, I tweeted a video of him outrunning a race horse. I am hoping for the best in this case, but I also know that a person has died, which is tragic and another is facing the consequences thereof and the feelings of guilt that accompany it. Pistorius is going to have to forgive himself for what happened and most of all seek God's forgiveness as well.


Pistorius spoke of difficulties he faced when younger, as people would turn their kids away, when they would stare at his prosthetic legs, "I see a child and he's staring at my prosthetic legs, often the parent turns the kid away," observed Pistorius. "And they develop a mentality of kind of shying away from disability and not being educated about it. And I think that's what creates the difficulty in society."


That kind of public interaction or lack thereof can hurt a person in many ways. However, there are millions of disabled people in the world, many of whom are amputees and it is nothing to be afraid of or ashamed of in any manner. Disabled people lead normal lives just like everyone else.

Pistorius' Nike Ad "I am the bullet in the chamber" was been pulled from his website. Nike stated the ads were pulled by Pistorius.

My mother has worked with disabled people for the past 15-years, many of whom I have gotten to know and they are wonderful people. The fact of the matter is it is very easy to have a disability. Many are born disabled, but some experience disability later in life via disease, war injuries, car accidents, surgeries gone wrong, falling off one's bed and becoming paralyzed or fights (injury).

President Obama Needs To Revise His Immigration Policies As Innocent Americans And Foreigners Are Suffering

Barack Obama

Recently, I read the story of high school valedictorian, Daniela Pelaez, who is being deported from America, the nation she came to from Colombia at age four. She has lived in America since she was a little girl and has excelled in her studies, so much so, she plans to become a doctor. Yet, here we have it, an immigration judge has issued a deportation order for the bright young student, which will uproot her from the life she has known for the past 14-years.

How is this humane. Why is a judge punishing someone that came to this country as a small child. Really, is a four year old a criminal. Is anyone a hardened criminal for seeking what they deem a better life in a new nation. No.

ABC News recently covered a story regarding parents being deported to their native foreign nations and their kids that were born in America placed in foster care in the United States. These families have been broken up in a sad manner, with the government refusing to return the children to their parents who have been deported abroad. There are over 5,000 such cases and counting.

Daniela Pelaez

As covered previously on the Judiciary Report, according to published reports, the Obama Administration has deported a record number of people (The Obama Administration Has Deported A Record Number Of Immigrants In 2011). So much so, tens of thousands of American born citizens were mixed up in the shuffle, rounded up, arrested and carted off to nations they had never been to before, while telling anyone who will listen that the government has made a mistake.

Teens, adults and even the mentally disabled who were unable to speak up for themselves were wrongly deported, though they are American born citizens. I'm not trying to hurt anyone's feelings by writing about this subject, but people's lives are being uprooted and destroyed in a trend that must stop.

We saw this negligence in the case of 13-year-old Jakadrien Turner (who is now 15-years of age). It was covered on sister site Sonustar News: 13-Year-Old Black American Girl Mistakenly Deported To Colombia For Two Years And Is Now Pregnant (Video) and 15-Year-Old African American Girl Mistakenly Deported To Colombia Back On U.S. Shores (Video).

First Lady Michelle Obama, Malia Obama, President Barack Obama and Sasha Obama

President Obama, what if you had not become head of state and someone who was not doing their job properly, without your knowledge, arrested, detained, then negligently deported your underage, American born daughter Malia, to a country she did not speak the language and she fell pregnant at age 15, as in the case of Jakadrien Turner. You would be devastated. But that's the reality the Turner family has faced. Your immigration policies need to change, as Americans and foreigners are being hurt by it.

North Miami students protest valedictorian’s order to leave country

Are accidental deportations common? Deported Dallas teen sheds light on faults

Jan 07, 2012 - Whether 15-year-old Dallas teen Jakadrien Turner sought deportation or got caught up in a fast-moving US immigration bureaucracy remains in question as the girl returned to the United States late Friday after an eight-month banishment to Colombia...

But the known facts of her case, namely that an American kid who didn't speak Spanish ended up on a plane to Colombia within six weeks of being arrested in Houston for shoplifting, are reviving questions about the frequency of mistaken or accidental deportations of US citizens. Some suggest that mistakes are on the uptick as US authorities have notched record deportation levels in recent years...

One study published last year looking at cases in which deported Americans have later been able to prove they're US citizens contends that about 1 percent of those detained and deported in any given year are, in fact, Americans. That's about 20,000 people since 2003, it concludes.

Immigration: Another U.S. citizen deported

January 5, 2012 | 1:25 pm - Here we go again: A U.S.-born citizen deported from her own country. This time the case involves a 15-year-old girl who was sent packing from Houston to Colombia, according to published reports.

Clearly, U.S.-born citizens can't be detained by immigration officials, much less deported by the Department of Homeland Security. But it seems to be happening with greater frequency. Last month, The Times reported that at least four U.S. citizens were detained in Los Angeles County over the last two months.

And in 2007, Pedro Guzman, a mentally disabled man who is illiterate, was deported from Los Angeles to Tijuana even though he was born in this country. Guzman spent months in Mexico sleeping on the streets. Other cases have also popped up in recent years, and a study by a UC Berkeley think tank suggests the number is much higher.

Miami Judge Sheldon Shelly Schwartz Evicted Disabled Family At Christmas And Should Be Voted Out

Judge Sheldon "Shelly" Schwartz stands to the far right and is highlighted in red

Judge Sheldon Schwartz, who presides at the Miami Dade Justice Center, located at 15555 Biscayne Boulevard in Miami, Florida, is possibly one of the worst, rudest judges in the United States, screaming at litigants at the top of his lungs, without provocation. The ill-mannered, crude, loud and verbally abusive judge is also incompetent.

He's becoming known in Miami legal circles for this inappropriate, toxic behavior from the bench that is disgracing the judiciary. The Judicial Cannons expressly forbids such conduct. Lawyers and litigants have so many negative things to say about this appalling judge that something needs to be done to remove him. He is going to cause a legal catastrophe with his misconduct.

He does not read case files properly, opting to thumb through them in the presence of litigants during hearings, while loudly barking at taxpayers about things he previously perused, but now can't find in the files. He is the definition of unprepared and ungracious. Senility is cruel and so is he.

So cruel he evicted a disabled family of sick people at Christmas, some elderly, when the national press had announced a moratorium on evictions and foreclosures for the 2011 holiday season, which was featured in newspapers and television news reports across the nation. It's hard to fathom a judge not reading newspapers or watching the news, but Schwartz gets off on being mean and evil and thus disregarded it.

He was very vile to the family of disabled people in court, barking at them like a big bully, repeatedly refusing them the opportunity to speak in court. He placed such vague, incomplete and scribbled rulings in the court file, that it allowed the slumlord, mortgage fraud committing plaintiff to violate what was said in court, much to the confusion of the disabled family, who had paid significant equity into the property and was blindsided by the maneuver.

This misconduct greatly inconvenienced and embarrassed the sheriff's office and court clerks, who later scrambled to ascertain the correct date, so as not to further violate the family's rights in enforcing a wrongly issued eviction order earlier than what was previously stated in court. The slumlord wanted the place as soon as possible to paint over dangerous levels of mold and do a patch job on the leaking roof, terrible plumbing and bad electrical, to hide the city code violations from the local government.

Jason Pensky of Pensky & Kim

However, Schwartz was away on Christmas vacation and could have cared less regarding what his corruption and cruelty had caused the disabled family, whose Christmas eve and Christmas day dinner was cancelled, due to his actions. This was done in tandem with a slumlord plaintiff, backed up and executed by the dubious law firm of Pensky & Kim (Jason Pensky and Philip Kim). If you are ever in need of a lawyer, beware of that corrupt law firm, as they use underhanded, unlawful tactics that will end up getting you sued and or arrested.

Woman Grabs Usher's Collar And Tells Him "You Don’t Belong Here"

video platformvideo managementvideo solutionsvideo player

A woman in Atlanta, Georgia, went off on R&B singer, Usher, for parking in a handicap spot, when he has no disability. Being a singer that believes the rules and laws of society do not apply to him, Usher and his great sense of entitlement, felt he had the right to deprive the disabled of a national courtesy, enacted for health reasons.

Those spots aren't for decoration or to be politically correct. When you have a physical disability, particularly regarding the legs, walking certain distances through a big parking lot or having to park elsewhere, then walk even further to enter an establishment, often means paying for it shortly after, with terrible pain that can last for days and leave you feeling wiped out and fatigued just as long.

Usher Raymond

The lady had every right to be upset, but it was not a good idea grabbing Usher by the collar, as it violated his personal space and some men will react violently (see: Chris Brown). Usher knew the mobile phone video would end up on YouTube so he restrained himself.
