This Week In Inmate Escapee News
I did a search on prisoner escapee, Grant Hardin prior to his 2017 conviction and found Nothing. No usual "This is the Police Chief" stories, No City webpage, No face book pages mentioning him and No background at all ... Nothing. Just he was hired in 2016. Like he was 'off the grid' or his name was wiped. Strange.
After his convictions it was reported that Hardin worked for at least four separate law enforcement agencies:
good morning, enjoy a crime cat.

it's 2025 and the people building "the future of finance" still have no idea how computers work.
the #SUI network's largest decentralized exchange just got hacked for $200 million "worth" of tokens because of a basic #integer overflow bug, the kind that has burned the crypto industry like a million times already.
maybe the fact that the devs used the word "numberator" was a bit of a tell...

Eight people have been convicted of crimes connected to an armed robbery of Kim Kardashian during Paris Fashion Week 2016. The arrests took place just months after the crime, in which millions of dollars in jewels were stolen, but years of bureaucracy delayed the trial. "Most of the defendants are in their 60s and 70s, arriving at court wearing orthopedic shoes and wielding canes," wrote NBC News's Zacharie Petit and Alexander Smith. "Some have illnesses that include cancer and Parkinson's disease and could not have contrasted more with Kardashian, 44, the billionaire influencer and business doyenne." Prosecutors want 10 years' jail time for the four men believed to have been the ringleaders. Two admitted to their involvement in the crime, but claimed the real mastermind was someone called "X" or "Ben" who prosecutors said does not exist.

John J. Lennon lives at Sing Sing Correctional Facility, where he is serving his 24th year of a 28-years-to-life sentence. He’s also a journalist whose work has appeared in Esquire, the New York Times, the Atlantic, and more. Until last year, he was at Sullivan Correctional Facility, where he mentored emerging writers, both informally and most recently, through the Sullivan Nonfiction Writing Workshop. He writes for @nybooks about setting that up, and what happened when it came to an end with the prison’s closure. “I often think about the time before I came to prison, when I had no promising future. I’ve come to realize that two opposing realities can be true at once: prison probably saved my life and it’s where I learned to write; and prison is a disgusting place that’s hurting me more now than ever,” he writes. “I’m both ashamed and proud of my path. But it wouldn’t have been possible if prison officials hadn’t given writing programs a chance.” [Story may be paywalled]

"That’s how we ought to be talking about Trump: not about conflicts of interest and ethical concerns, but about payoffs, shakedowns, graft, and self-dealing."
"There is … a model for how to talk about what Trump is doing: crime coverage. While reporters are careful to say someone is an “alleged” criminal before they have actually been convicted, when reporting on crime they don’t start from the presumption that nothing bad occurred, and they don’t look for experts who can tell them if it might be bad for crimes to be committed."

William Carlos Williams came into my house and committed violence.
“Both fascism and communism in the 20th Century were responses to globalization: to the real and perceived inequalities it created, and apparent helplessness of the democracies in addressing them. Fascists rejected reason in the name of will, denying objective truth in favor of a glorious myth articulated by leaders who claimed to give voice to the people.” — On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the 20th Century. #crime #constitution #meme #history
it's official: His Excellency Justin Sun, a man instrumental to the building of the #Tether cartel (a massive money laundering machine on a scale the world has never seen) with financial connections to every kind of pig butchering scam, terrorist financing group, and ransomware ransom, will be returning to the U.S. to dine with the president after years of being more or less a fugitive on the run from both the U.S. and Chinese authorities.
The United States of America has become a mafia state where those in power are unafraid of engaging and encouraging every time of crime (up to and including violence) against the governed in order to enrich themselves.
