This is apparently a crime in Perth Amboy New Jersey. Four bikes were seized by cops and a black teenager was arrested. Prosecutors are looking into the incident.

“Every juvenile being taken into custody by law enforcement in Middlesex County is of the utmost concern to Prosecutor (Yolanda) Ciccone and this young person is no different,” Ciccone said in a statement. “What occurred before, during and after the incident depicted is under review.”

The office was reviewing the video and the circumstances of the stop with Perth Amboy Police Chief Roman McKeon and other Perth Amboy police officials, the statement said.

Neighbor: You don't let your kids right their bikes around the neighborhood by themselves?
Me: Nope.
Neighbor: Why not? I've always thought this was a pretty safe little area.
Me: Not for them. https://t.co/ChAv6al45O

The shocking revelations were made before the Missouri House Ethics Committee, revelations that included recollections from his daughter about an incident she suffered when she was 9 years old.

In 1990, Rick Roeber’s 9-year-old daughter was tucked in bed wearing a long Simpsons T-shirt when he allegedly picked her up, took her into the living room, laid her on his bare chest and placed her hand on his genitals, the now-adult woman told lawmakers earlier this year in testimony against Roeber, 65, now a Republican member of the Missouri House.

“I didn’t know what to do. I just froze there. I was 9,” she said in her testimony before the Missouri House Ethics Committee.

The incident was one of several disturbing stories recounted to the committee by Roeber’s ex-wife and three of his four children, who accused the freshman lawmaker of terrorizing them while on alcoholic benders and regularly whipping his children with a belt. His ex-wife also said that he once “drowned several puppies” in a pond.

Georgia Looses Another…

Since Governor Kemp signed a restrictive voting bill geared a limiting the votes of blacks in Georgia, advertisers and those with commercial interest in the state have steadily removed their business in protest. Will Smith and Antoine Fuqua are among the latest.

Antoine Fuqua and Will Smith will move production on their big-budget, runaway slave thriller “Emancipation” out of Georgia in protest over the state’s controversial new voting restrictions.

The announcement continues the economic fallout from Gov. Brian Kemp and the state legislature’s decision to pass new regulations that critics maintain amount to voter suppression, aimed at reducing the turnout of people of color. The new laws were passed in the wake of former President Donald Trump’s unfounded claims of voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election, and after Georgia voted for a Democrat for president for the first time in decades. The rules shorten the duration of absentee voting, require absentee voters to produce identification, limit the use of drop boxes and make it a crime to hand out free food or water to voters standing in line.
