Get ready to give up your First Amendment. To hell with your free speech.
A Republican lawmaker in South Carolina is pushing a bill which would prevent anyone who purchases a computer in the state from accessing porn.
State Rep. Bill Chummytold the Spartanburg Herald Journal that the “Human Trafficking Prevention Act” would require manufacturers and sellers alike to install blocking technology on computers and other devices in order to prevent porn from being accessed. If the seller wants to “opt-out,” they can pay $20 fee. Or if a consumer wanted to watch porn on his/her computer and are over 18 year old, they would also have to pay $20. The money collected would go to a State Human Trafficking Task Force.
Why? Why did police in South Carolina pull over a driver and felt the need, no, felt the urge to search the passenger’s rectum? Because the female driver and owner of the vehicle, Lakeya Hicks, had legal paper tags on the car, so that apparently meant a rectum search along the roadside was in order!
The disturbing dashcam video shows police pulling the car over and removing Hicks and her passenger, Elijah Pontoon. Police then explained that because of the passenger’s history, “I’ve got a dog coming in here. Gonna walk a dog around the car.” Also: “You gonna pay for this one, boy.”
After the dog arrived and searched the car for contraband, none was found. Police is then seen going through the car, inside and out, opening he hood, still finding no contraband. The only other place to search was apparently the man’s rectum.
Audio from the video suggests all they found was a hemorrhoid. At the same time, according to a federal lawsuit filed on their behalf, a female officer began searching Hicks, exposing her breasts to the three male officers and anyone else who happened to be on the road.
Again, no contraband was found.
Later, a dejected Medlin can be heard on the radio speaking to a superior after the fruitless search.
“We search the car. There ain’t nothing in the car… And on a search of him, up in his crotch by the butt, I felt something hard. I lifted his pants and pulled the back of his underwear down and I didn’t see anything but I didn’t get all the way up in there to get no vertical up shot. I just pulled his underwear back, but I didn’t see nothing. But it felt, he said it was a hemorrhoid. It ain’t no… it was a rock. It was a rock of crack. It’s gotta be a rock. He’s got it up in his butt.”
Medlin sadly concludes, “But there ain’t no way to justify. He said, ‘I got nothing here. That’s a long time ago. I ain’t doing nothing.’ He said it’s a hemorrhoid. I got nothing else to go on. Nothing. Yeah we’re gonna have to cut him loose here.”
After it surfaced that Donald Trump had a Muslim woman removed from his rally in South Carolina because the woman stood silently in protest in the audience, a South Carolina Representative said Donald’s move made him “sick to my stomach,” and vowed to block Trump from setting foot in the state.
“Donald Trump is a race-baiting, xenophobic bigot and is not welcome in the state of South Carolina,” the proposed resolution read, echoing the words of Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC).
King noted that many Trump supporters had probably never met a Muslim prior to Friday’s rally, and that most of their knowledge about Muslims was “what they heard on Fox News.”
“Trump plays to their fears,” the lawmaker pointed out.
In a statement, King said that he expected bipartisan support for his resolution.
“Democrats and Republicans don’t agree on much in South Carolina, but most of us agree that Donald Trump is an embarrassment to our country’s political process and stands contrary to the beliefs of our Founding Fathers and the values of the United States Constitution,” the statement explained. “Why would we welcome someone to our great state when even our senior Republican U.S. senator agrees that Donald Trump is nothing more than a modern day George Wallace who preys on people’s fears and prejudices.”
The school resource officer who picked up a chair that just happened to have a child sitting in it, flipped it over then dragged that chair with child attached across the room, that officer lost his job yesterday.
According to the Richland County Sheriff Leon Lott, the officer, Ben Fields, “did not use the proper technique” when the chair and its occupant were tossed.
“The fact that he picked the student up and he threw the student across the room — that is not a proper technique, and should not be used in law enforcement,” Lott said.
The incident that sparked outrage a few days ago involved a South Carolina teenage girl sitting in her classroom. The school resource officer was called in to remove the child from the class because, according to the report, the child was disruptive – she was on her cell phone and refused to leave when she was asked to.
The officer, who had a set of protocols to follow, broke them all when he flipped the chair and child over then dragged her like a bag of garbage across the room.
But like is expected in these situations, it is never the officer’s fault. Who knows, he was probably “scared for his life,” as is the common excuse used by officers to justify these types of actions. And like expected, Officer Fields’ lawyer issued a statement blaming the victim for getting dragged, while excusing the actions of his client, deeming those actions justifiable.
“We believe that Mr. Fields’ actions were justified and lawful throughout the circumstances of which he was confronted during this incident,” Fields attorney Scott Hayes said.
The FBI is investigating whether the student’s civil rights were violated. Since the incident it has been revealed that the child is in foster care.
This guy belongs on Fox News. But then again, in more ways than one, CNN is becoming like Fox News.
Larry Houck tried to stand up for the police officer who jumped on a little girl in a South Carolina school, ripped her out her chair and dragged her across the floor in order to kick her out the classroom. That officer, got a fan in Larry Houck!
CHRIS CUOMO: Give me the best defense for what this guy is doing, in these circumstances.
HARRY HOUCK: OK, first of all let me tell you, there’s a police officer in that school for a reason. A lot of violent gang activity in that school. Now, this officer’s called to the classroom because this student will not leave the classroom. Apparently the teacher had some kind of a problem. Now, a teacher is supposedly trained on how to handle children like this, calls the police, for the officer to come in. The officer tells her twice to get out of the chair. She won’t get out of the car – out of the chair, all right? Therefore, we have this altercation, which she does not get really hurt in. The officer pulls her out, handcuffs her, all right, and that’s it. Can the officer do that? Yes, he can do that.
CUOMO: Why?
HOUCK: Because you failed to comply, you are under arrest, you are failing to comply now. So the officer can use whatever force is necessary to affect an arrest. Now, it looks really bad. Like a lot of videos we’ve sat here and talked about before in the past, how bad the video looks. She did not get hurt, all right. So apparently the officer did it in a way where she could not get hurt. It just looks bad in the video.
[…]
HARRY HOUCK: Here’s the problem. This is a failure to comply again. Like in all these cases here, people don’t listen to the police when they’re giving them a command. You must comply. And then Marc’s — Marc’s giving people the impression that you don’t have to comply to police officers. And that’s why we’re having a lot of incidents. You’re giving that impression, Marc, every time I speak to you. You always have a problem, you know, talking about an officer’s use of force. And I’m telling you, it’s as a result of a failure to comply. If that girl got out of the car — got out of the seat when she was told, there’d be no problem. But apparently she had no respect for the school, no respect for her teacher, probably has no respect at home or on the street, and that’s why she acted the way she did.
Natural disasters don’t care who you are or where you live. And when they happen, we should all come together and help each other.
But back in 2013 when hurricane Sandy crippled the east coast, South Carolina Senator and current Republican presidential candidate, Lindsey Graham, voted to deny federal help for those in need.
My oh my how times have changed. In an interview on CNN, Graham was asked about his apparent hypocrisy and why federal help is necessary for South Carolina and not New Jersey.
He had no answer but knew 100 percent that his state needed all the federal help they can get no matter the cost.
“Let’s just get through this thing, and whatever it costs, it costs,” Graham told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer on The Situation Room.
Then the amnesia set in when he was asked about his vote to not help the people of New Jersey.
“I’m all for helping the people in New Jersey. I don’t really remember me voting that way,” Graham said.
Pressed further, he said: “Anyway, I don’t really recall that, but I’d be glad to look and tell you why I did vote no, if I did.”
For all his ignorance, the 21-year-old racist who murdered nine black church members as they held a Bible study back in June, will face the death penalty according to an announcement made today by South Carolina prosecutors.
A judge entered a not guilty plea for Roof, who faces nine counts of murder, one count of attempted murder, and a weapons charge.
According to court documents filed by South Carolina prosecutor Scarlett Wilson today, the state will present a litany of evidence against Roof, including “photographs, video tapes, diagrams of the scene and victims, expert testimony, and statements by the Defendant, internet postings by the Defendant and other testimony related thereto.”
Roof’s alleged white power manifesto, laying out his hatred for black people and apparent motivation for the attacks, was discovered online shortly after his arrest.
He has also pleaded not guilty to 33 federal hate crime counts. US Attorney General Loretta Lynch announced those charges in July, saying Roof “decided to seek out and murder African Americans because of their race.”
Roof, the twenty something old racist from South Carolina, was indicted in the killing of none black church goers. If convicted, the self admitted killer can receive life in prison or the death penalty.
Roof faces a total of 33 federal charges, including firearms charges, for the June 17 murders and attempted murders at Charleston’s Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church, the United States Department of Justice announced on Wednesday.
The hate crime charges are meant to address the radical racial motivations of the crime, according to the DOJ, which Roof allegedly laid out in an online manifesto.
“As set forth in the indictment, several months prior to the tragic events of June 17, Roof conceived of his goal of increasing racial tensions throughout the nation and seeking retribution for perceived wrongs he believed African Americans had committed against white people,” U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch said in prepared statement on Wednesday. “To carry out these twin goals of fanning racial flames and exacting revenge, Roof further decided to seek out and murder African Americans because of their race. An essential element of his plan, however, was to find his victims inside of a church, specifically an African-American church, to ensure the greatest notoriety and attention to his actions.”
COLUMBIA, SC - JUNE 22: The Confederate flag flies on the Capitol grounds after South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley announced that she will call for the Confederate flag to be removed on June 22, 2015 in Columbia, South Carolina. Debate over the flag flying at the Capitol was again ignited off after nine people were shot and killed during a prayer meeting at the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, South Carolina.

In 1961, the confederate flag was raised over South Carolina’s capitol in support of segregation and to protest integration. In the year 2000, it was moved to a flagpole in front of the Statehouse. Today, some 54 years after the flag was raised, it came down and ushered away to a nearby museum.
At an event attended by thousands chanting “USA, USA” and “Hey, hey, hey, goodbye,” the state’s Highway Patrol honor guards brought the divisive flag down at 10:33AM on Friday. The pole will also be removed at a later date.
You can still fly the flag on your own property, but the “deeply offensive symbol” as South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley called it, is officially coming down from the State’s capitol grounds.
After nearly all of South Carolina Senators voted to take the flag down last week in a 36 to 3 vote, the state’s House voted to do the same early Thursday morning, in a 220 to 94 vote. The bill was sent to Governor Nikki Haley around 1am to be signed into law.
The flag received renewed scrutiny after a racist white supremacist – seen in pictures burning the American flag and waving the confederate flag – murdered nine black church members as they held a Bible Study in a predominantly black Church in Charleston South Carolina. Among those killed was the pastor of Emanuel AME Church and a State Legislature, Pastor Clementa Pinckney. Gov Haley then promised that she would used Executive order to removed the flag if all other measures failed.
Among those calling for the flag’s removal was Rep. Jenny Horne, who made a passionate plea to her fellow representatives before the vote was held.
The South Carolina Senate has voted and the vote was overwhelming – 37 to 3 in favor of removing the confederate flag from Statehouse grounds in the state!
“We now have the opportunity, the obligation to put the exclamation point on an extraordinary narrative of good and evil, of love and mercy that will take its place in the history books,” said Sen. Tom Davis, R-Beaufort.
Lawmakers had largely ignored the flag until the killing of nine black people during a Bible study at a historic African-American church on June 17.
The terrorists in our midst are not ISIS, but racists calling themselves white supremaists, or to speak in lament terms, ignorant white people who think they are better than the rest of us.
Since the gruesome killing of 9 people at a South Carolina black Church a week ago, at least two more predominantly black Churches have suffered the same type of hate historically associated with these ignorant people. One Church in Georgia and another in North Carolina.
In Georgia, God’s Power of Christ Church in Macon was set on fire early Tuesday morning. Macon county fire chief Ben Gleaton, told local media that as per investigators, the fire was intentionally started. And in Charlotte North Carolina, firefighters there are calling another fire at another black church an intentional act.
Amazingly, the same folks who think they’re superior to everyone else, are the same folks committing these neanderthal acts.
