Wake up

A former metro-east football star was charged with aggravated battery, a class 3 felony, Thursday by the St. Clair County State's Attorney's Office following an incident at Best Buy in Fairview Heights.

According to police, Hickey D. Thompson, who earned a mention in Sports Illustrated as the star of Althoff Catholic High School's football teams that won back-to-back state championships in 1989 and 1990, allegedly hit a Best Buy employee in the face during an altercation at about 12:45 p.m. Wednesday. The employee was identified in court records as Gary Thompson.

Hickey Thompson's companion, Latoya N. Greenwood, an East St. Louis councilwoman, was issued a ticket for disorderly conduct, a class C misdemeanor. Greenwood works at East St. Louis School District 189.

When police officers arrived on scene, they learned two customers had been asked for a receipt as they approached the store exit with merchandise purchased in the store at a location other than the front checkout lanes. Best Buy store policy requires a loss prevention officer check for receipts near the exit if customers do not pay for merchandise at the front of the store.

The female customer identified by police as Greenwood, 38, of East St. Louis became angry and began to yell obscenities at the 61-year-old Best Buy loss prevention officer who requested their receipt.

According to police, witnesses stated that as Greenwood continued to yell, Hickey Thompson struck the employee in the face with his open hand causing him to fall to the ground.

Both Hickey Thompson and Greenwood were arrested and transported to the Fairview Heights Police Department.

Hickey Thompson is being held in St. Clair County Jail. His bail was set at $20,000. If convicted, he faces two to five years in prison.

Greenwood was given a court date and released from custody. If convicted, she faces up to 30 days in prison and a fine up to $1,500.

Employee Gary Thompson was treated at the scene for minor injuries and declined to be transported to the hospital.

We might actually be lucky enough to fight in the Final Battle if this shit keeps escalating:

The entire police force of Minneapolis and St. Paul has been placed on high alert due to a death threat they received in the wake of a gang-related shooting.

The officers received the threat after St. Paul police fatally shot Victor Gaddy, a drug suspect, after he crashed into their squad cars, WCCO-TV reported.

Minneapolis police had asked St. Paul cops to pull the 41-year-old over
.
“As a police officer, I know that you get these threats individually from people all of the time …” St. Paul City Council member and retired police officer Dan Bostrom told WCCO-TV. “But when it’s a general threat to the entire law enforcement community you have to take that seriously because every single officer now and every single squad car is a target.”
The two police departments are working with other law enforcement agencies to identify the source of the threats.

Sgt. Stephen McCarthy added that his team will be on the lookout for fake 911 calls and other suspicious activity.

UTMC student shot during St. Louis robbery

ST. LOUIS--The man St. Louis police believe robbed and shot a University of Toledo medical student Wednesday morning was arrested today.

Arrested on charges of robbery and assault was Vincent Newman, 24, of St. Louis, police said.

The suspect is believed to have robbed and shot three people in the last 11 days, including Halley Briglia, a fourth-year student at UT who is in St. Louis for a clinical clerkship. The suspect has only been charged with one of the three incidents.

Additional charges are pending.

"We're confident this is the same perpetrator," said St. Louis police spokesman David Marzullo.

Mr. Marzullo said police were able to connect the suspect to the three shootings by comparing shell casings recovered at the three crime scenes.

The suspect is charged with an Oct. 16 robbery and shooting in which a 20-year-old woman was robbed of electronics and then shot in her left arm and left cheek.

A hospital spokesman at St. Louis University Hospital said they had no information about Ms. Briglia's condition, but earlier today was reported to be in critical but stable condition.

Dr. Jeffrey Gold, chancellor and vice president for biosciences and health affairs at the University of Toledo Medical Center, formerly the Medical College of Ohio, flew to St. Louis Wednesday night to be with the woman and her family, he said.

The St. Louis Police Department could not be immediately reached, but a report from the St. Louis Post-Dispatch states that Ms. Briglia was shot at about 5:55 a.m. Wednesday in the 1600 block of South Spring Avenue, which is near Cardinal Glennon Children's Medical Center.

Ms. Briglia was walking to her car when she was approached by a man who robbed and then shot her, the newspaper reports. Police in St. Louis have linked the suspect, who has not been arrested, to two other robberies and shootings in the past 11 days.

“In all these cases, the victims cooperated and they were still shot,” St. Louis police Lt. Col. Lawrence O'Toole told the Post-Dispatch.

Dr. Gold said Ms. Briglia is on a ventilator and in an intensive care unit.

Details of the crime were not immediately available, but initial reports suggest that Ms. Briglia was shot in the hand, but the bullet then struck her in the neck.

Dr. Gold said he will return to Toledo tonight, and that an associate dean will fly to St. Louis to be with Ms. Briglia and her family for the weekend. Visits to St. Louis will continue in shifts as necessary, Dr. Gold said.

“This is a huge thing for us,” Dr. Gold said. “It's a senseless tragedy.”

Dr. Gold said a notice would be sent out today to students and faculty about the shooting.

Ms. Briglia, originally from Erie, Penn., is an honors student, Dr. Gold said. She earned an undergraduate degree from Case Western Reserve University before coming to the University of Toledo for medical school.

“She's just an incredibly bright, energetic young woman who has always been in a leadership position,” Dr. Gold said. “She's always at the top of her class. She's just an amazing young woman with a tremendously bright career ahead of her.”

Saturday, 6 October 2012 Written by Christian Gomez - The New American. APPLETON WISCONSIN - On Tuesday, October 2, 2012, the Fox Valley Conservative Forum, which meets regularly for a luncheon on Tuesdays, hosted a talk by South African Sonia Hruska (pictured above). Hruska, who now lives in the United States, discussed the ongoing genocide against white ('Afrikaner') people in her country under the largely communist-controlled ANC government of president Jacob Zuma.

Born in Victoria, South Africa, to a nontraditional Afrikaner family, with a right-wing father and a left-wing mother, Hruska would go on to work in politics as a consultant in the presidential administration of’(South Africa’s first black president) Nelson Mandela from 1994 to 2001. “I was the coordinator between the different spheres of government, civil society and state organizations, to actually implement the new government policies,” Hruska said.

As an early supporter of Mandela and the dream of a rainbow South Africa, Hruska truly believed in establishing a country where, regardless of the color of one’s skin or ethnicity, one could live in harmony and equality. Unfortunately, as she described, the opposite came true.

“After about six years,” Hruska said, “I realized something serious is wrong; the communist elements are taking over, it’s not what we were promised.” She explained the change that followed:

Whites were getting excluded through affirmative action and black economic empowerment. And at the same time, the Chinese got “black’ status; so the (4million) whites were excluded and the Chinese were included under affirmative action as “blacks”. We now find that a white is not allowed to enter, for instance, into management, but a Chinese person may buy a mine or buy shares in a mine, and the same <is true> with banks.
