_The Evening Post_, 26 March 1925:
BURGLAR CAPTURED
EXCITING CHRISTCHURCH INCIDENT
A BOLD BID FOR LIBERTY
…
CHRISTCHURCH, 25th March.
Masked by a silken scarf Whitefoord Jukes #Curtis, aged 17 years, was arrested while crouching behind a counter in the premises of the New Zealand Farmers’ Co-operative Association of Canterbury, Ltd., at 3.30 a.m. to-day. Curtis, though handcuffed, made a great bid for his liberty, but was recaptured after a splendid break, which traversed several blocks and ended at the back of the municipal chambers. It was found, eventually, that Curtis was arrested on his third job, as the information he gave to the police led to the recovery of a large quantity of stolen property, associating him with the operations at two other business premises.
[Details of his capture, escape and recapture are recounted].
… Eventually Curtis was cornered after a long chase, and even then he unsuccessfully endeavoured to break away again. Curtis appeared in the Court this morning charged with theft, and was remanded for a week. The #police said that there were other charges to be preferred against him.

"many things the #government does have to remain secret... But they’re not secrets from the US govt. The #US govt owns all those communications... its own #history.

Text from article(edited for length): To state the obvious, in any normal administration Hegseth and Waltz at a minimum would be gone by the end of the day... But I want to focus your attention on the fact that information security is not the only, perhaps not even the main issue. Note that no one in the chat is saying, “Hey, we sure it’s cool to be talking about this on Signal?” Or, “Should we be worried this is an insecure channel?” That and the simple logic of the matter tells us this is commonplace in the new administration... Especially in the national security domain, many things the government does have to remain secret. Sometimes those things remain secret for years or decades. But they’re not secrets from the U.S. government. The U.S. government owns all those communications, all those facts of its own history. Using a Signal app like this is hiding what’s happening from the government itself. And that is almost certainly not an unintended byproduct but the very reason for the use. These are disappearing communications. They won’t be in the National Archives. Future administrations won’t know what happened. There also won’t be any records to determine whether crimes were committed. This all goes to the fundamental point Trump has never been able to accept: that the U.S. government is the property of the American people and it persists over time with individual officeholders merely temporary occupants charged with administering an entity they don’t own or possess.

This is absolutely outrageous. 🤬During a hearing on #SanctuaryCities today, Republican #JamesComer of #Kentucky refuses to let Democrat Congresswoman #AyannaPressley of #Massachusetts to enter into the record an article correctly reporting that US citizens commit #crimes far in excess of crimes committed by #immigrants. He refuses to even allow her to enter the title of the article. This is #censorship. This is #oppression. This is #WhiteMaleSupremacy. F*** Comer & f*** #HouseRepublicans.

…At the heart of the controversy is the vague language of #Trump’s mass #pardons for #Jan6 *rioters*. He granted #clemency to anyone “convicted of offenses related to events that occurred at or near the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021.”

Jan 6 defendants have repeatedly argued that the language is so broad it covers other #crimes that have nothing to do w/Jan 6 but were discovered during the vast #criminal probe stemming from the Capitol attack.

The abrupt reversal prompted a federal judge — now weighing Wilson’s last-minute effort to avoid prison for the #gun conviction — to demand answers from the #Trump admin on Wed: Who exactly did Trump mean to #pardon when he signed his sweeping #clemency order last month, & for what #crimes?

During a 2-hr hearing in her federal courtroom, US District Judge Dabney Friedrich—a Trump appointee—grilled a #DOJ atty about the matter & appeared to leave with more questions than answers.

3 weeks ago, the #DOJ was emphatic: #Trump may have pardoned Kentuckian Dan Wilson for #crimes he committed at the Capitol on #Jan6, but that #pardon did not extend to his unrelated conviction for illegally storing #firearms at his home.

Then, on Tues, the US atty in DC [#EdMartin] reversed course, saying it had “received further clarity” about Trump’s true intent, which included pardoning Wilson for the #gun case. Prosecutors did not explain how they arrived at this new “clarity.”

"Donald Trump's endless first-term bleating about #crime and how he was the only one who could bring an end to it was always a joke... he spent the next four years accumulating a dizzying number of felony indictments and, eventually, 34 convictions. (There would certainly have been more if ...[he hadn't been reelected].)

Trump's alleged #crimes weren't bloodless "white-collar" matters, either. #Jan6, of course, was a violent assault on the Capitol."

Trump's first week will only unleash more crime Our felonious president can only benefit from a climate of fear and chaos — that's why he's eager for more By Amanda Marcotte Senior Writer Published January 28, 2025 6:00AM (EST) Photo with caption: Former U.S. President Donald Trump speaks to the media as he arrives to court for his hush money trial at Manhattan Criminal Court on May 30, 2024 in New York City. (Justin Lane - Pool/Getty Images) Text: Donald Trump's endless first-term bleating about crime and how he was the only one who could bring an end to it was always a joke. It took on new levels of ridiculousness when he spent the next four years accumulating a dizzying number of felony indictments and, eventually, 34 convictions.

‼️ The chief of the #DOJ’s #PublicIntegrity section, Corey Amundson, is also being removed from his post, acc/to people familiar…. The section oversees #election #crimes & investigations into #PublicOfficials, & its chief is a #nonpartisan career official, according to the Justice Department website.…

On Mon night, hours after #Trump’s inauguration, the DOJ removed at least 4 top ofcls from the part of the agency that operates the nation’s heavily backlogged #immigration courts.

#Trump & his new admin have prepared a list of #pardons for people #convicted of #crimes related to the #Jan6, 2021, attack on the Capitol. Pardoning Jan 6 defendants has been a frequent campaign-trail promise for Trump, who called the violent attack a “day of love” on multiple occasions.

…#Biden’s latest #commutations provide relief for individuals who received lengthy sentences based on discredited distinctions between crack & powder cocaine, as well as outdated sentencing enhancements for #drug #crimes — some embraced when Biden was a senator — that Congress has since addressed through bipartisan legislation.
