 San Francisco DA Boudin Denounces SFPD Use of Sexual Assault Victim DNA in Crime Investigations – CBS San Francisco (cbslocal.com)   "San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin on Monday denounced the use of rape kit DNA as crime evidence against sexual assault victims, reportedly in connection with a recent SFPD investigation.

"Boudin’s office said that the district attorney has learned that a law enforcement database with DNA collected from sexual assault victims was currently being used to searched for and identify possible suspects in other crimes. Boudin condemned the practice.

“ 'Rapes and sexual assault are violent, dehumanizing, and traumatic. I am disturbed that victims who have the courage to undergo an invasive examination to help identify their perpetrators are being treated like criminals rather than supported as crime victims,” Boudin said in the release. “We should encourage survivors to come forward — not collect evidence to use against them in the future. This practice treats victims like evidence, not human beings. This is legally and ethically wrong.”

"According to a report published in the San Francisco Chronicle, Boudin’s criticism stems from a case he learned about last week where San Francisco police linking a woman to a recent property crime by using DNA from a years-old rape kit.". . .

When Fascism Comes To America, It Will Look Like Justin Trudeau’s Canada (UPDATED)

 Legal Insurrection

Trudeau’s dangerous not just because he’s abusing Canadians, but because he is providing the wish list for crackdowns by Democrats in the U.S.: “every single bank, credit union, investment broker and insurance provider in the country has been deputized to figure out if they have a blockader as a client, and to immediately freeze their accounts if so.”

"If Justin Trudeau had merely removed trucks from blocking a bridge in protest of vaccine mandates, it would be no big deal. Protesters for various causes routinely get removed from blocking traffic.

"But that’s not all Justin Trudeau did. He suspended civil liberties in Canada, targeting peaceful protesters and anyone who supports them. Not because those supporters committed a crime, but because they supported the political opposition to Trudeau’s government.

"Trudeau ordered all financial institutions to freeze the assets of his political opposition without court order and with full immunity from liability, and no financial asset was spared.

“The names of both individuals and entities as well as crypto wallets have been shared by the RCMP with financial institutions and accounts have been frozen and more accounts will be frozen.”. . .

 Here We Go: Some Emergency Measures in Canada Will Not End – PJ Media   "How predictable was this? On Thursday, I wrote an article comparing Trudeau’s Emergencies Act to Adolf Hitler’s Enabling Act that established his dictatorship and pointed out that while Hitler’s Act was supposed to be temporary, when it came up for renewal, his opponents had all been outlawed, imprisoned, or killed, and there was no one left to raise a dissenting voice. Trudeau’s invocation of the Emergencies Act was supposed to be temporary as well, but on Friday, Canadian Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland announced the Trudeau regime’s intention to make some of their new authoritarian powers permanent. This, my friend, is how democracies die.". . .

Pastor Artur Pawlowski's family say he has been treated poorly in prison and is fasting to seek answer from God

"Supporters of a Canadian pastor who has spent the past week in Calgary Remand Centre after speaking to members of the Freedom Convoy have organized vigils at various Canadian consulates in the United States to protest his treatment Tuesday.

"Pastor Artur Pawlowski, who remains in solitary confinement for 23 hours per day, according to his lawyer, was arrested last Monday after he spoke to members of the trucker blockade along the U.S.-Canada border in Coutts, Alberta, on Feb. 3.

"During a 20-minute speech to the truckers, the pastor urged them to "hold the line" against government overreach without resorting to violence. They had reportedly reached an agreement to abandon their blockade of the U.S. border and travel to Edmonton until changing their minds following Pawlowski's address.

"Pawlowski also recounted to them the parallels he sees between the Freedom Convoy and Poland's Solidarity movement in the 1980s that ultimately led to the liberation of his native country, despite a crackdown from its communist government.

‘We don’t fight with guns and swords'

"Pawlowski's most recent arrest marked his fifth since the pandemic. He first made international headlines last April when he threw armed police out of his sanctuary when they attempted to inspect it for COVID-19 compliance during an Easter service.". . .

The police have been persecuted way too much in America; I hate for this misuse of our guardians to provide propaganda to the left. TD

‘We’re in danger of forgetting’: congressman’s warning 80 years after Japanese American incarceration

 The Guardian

Congressman Mark Takano, whose family was forced into camps, calls for vigilance amid ‘nefarious nostalgia

"Eighty years ago, as anti-Japanese fervor gripped the US, the parents and grandparents of the California congressman Mark Takano were among 120,000 Japanese Americans forcibly removed from their homes and sent to desolate camps scattered across the west.

They were allowed to take only what they could carry. Everything else was sold, stored or left behind. Confined by barbed wire fences and armed military guards, their only offense was looking like the enemy.

“ 'They were incarcerated without any due process of law, never accused of a crime, never convicted of a crime but in an internment camp strictly because of their racial characteristics,” Takano told the Guardian.

"Two-thirds of those interned were American citizens, like Takano’s maternal grandparents and paternal grandmother. Many were American-born children, like his parents, far too young to pose a threat to national security, as was the spurious claim.

"What is remembered as one of the darkest chapters in American history was set in motion on 19 February 1942, 74 days after Japan attacked on Pearl Harbor, when Franklin Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066.

"On the 80th anniversary of Roosevelt’s order, an occasion marked by events from Hawaii to Idaho that will include many witnesses, Takano is worried.

“What I fear we’re in now is a moment of forgetting,” he said.". . .

Jean-Luc Brunel, held on suspicion of supplying girls to Epstein, found hanged

 The Guardian

Former model agency boss accused of rape and suspected of trafficking minors has died in prison

"The former boss of a French model agency accused of rape and under investigation on suspicion of supplying underage girls to the late American financier Jeffrey Epstein has been found dead in prison.

"The body of Jean-Luc Brunel, 75, was reportedly found hanging in his cell in the early hours of Saturday. The French prosecutors’ office confirmed the report and said an inquiry had been opened into the exact cause of death, but early indications pointed to suicide.

"Brunel was arrested in December 2020 at Charles de Gaulle airport before boarding a plane for Dakar in Senegal where he told police he was going on holiday.

"He was officially put under investigation on allegations of the alleged rape of a minor and sexual harassment shortly after his arrest, and was put under a second investigation for the rape of a minor in June last year." . . .

In Texas, New Law Is Stopping the Steal

 In Texas, New Law Is Stopping the Steal (townhall.com)

"Voter integrity is essential. It's popular. It's why for all the Democrats' yelling about how this, that, and the other is racist regarding new voter laws, these laws aren't going anywhere. Election security withstood an onslaught from Democrats' allies in the media. Then, it dawned on Democrats—gee, voter ID laws are popular.

"Yeah, they are—and always have been, fellas. Across the board, Americans support voter ID. This isn't new. The gaslighting began when Democrats, resigned to defeat, tried to say they always supported such measures. Wrong.

" 'Voter integrity laws is Jim Crow 2.0." "The GOP is racist." 

"These tired and stale talking points are just noise that caused normal people to either shrug, change channels, or simply take some Advil and move on with their day. It's over. The Democrats' "Hail Mary" pass was to get their federal elections takeover bill through the Senate, which failed because they needed to nuke the filibuster. They didn't have the votes. 

"With their primaries being held on March 1, Texas' new law is already stopping those who would steal elections. Scores of mail-in ballots are being rejected for not meeting voter ID requirements (via NPR): Weeks ahead of the state's March 1 primary, local election officials in Texas are sending mail-in ballots back to thousands of voters who had turned them in, citing issues with ID requirements created by the state's controversial new voting law. In Harris County — Texas' largest county, which is home to Houston — election officials said they'd received 6,548 mail-in ballots as of Saturday and had returned almost 2,500 — nearly 38% — for correction because of an incorrect ID. That's a far higher rejection rate than is typical. . . .

. . ."The high rejection rate should raise eyebrows. How many invalid ballots were counted in 2020? Who knows? Democrats have destroyed that evidence, but the real steal centered on the battleground states where Democratic secretaries of state unilaterally and illegally altered the voting laws without the consent of the state legislatures. Michigan and Pennsylvania specifically saw this occur in 2020. Are we shocked to learn that the state legislatures there are majority Republican? No way would these tweaks be passed, so Democrats did what they do best—cheat. 

Biden Takes Questions From Reporters On Pre-Approved List…

"Who is calling the shots behind the curtain?" tweeted Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN).Others wondered the same."

"I believe there are more instances of the abridgement of freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments by those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations." -James Madison

. . ."Our system of justice, once the best in the world, is badly broken.  Criminals, even one like Quintez Brown, who tried to murder a mayoral candidate in Louisville, Ky., are bailed out by BLM, and good cops who kill career criminals are in prison.  One would think all such cases would place cops on the side of the folks who support them, who oppose defunding, who oppose vax mandates.  But, as we have seen in Australia, New Zealand, the U.K., Canada, and here in the U.S., that is not the case.

"Too many cops are choosing the side that uses and abuses them.  Go figure.  One can understand their anger at the ingratitude shown to them, but why align with the despots and not the people?  If the Australian, New Zealand, American, and Canadian police had stood up for the people they are tasked to protect, everything would be different right now.  There would be no protests, and the mandates would be over.  Our cops are brave, but they need to be a bit more courageous and be on the side of freedom."

Mr. Levant has sad experience with the dark side of Canada's authorities going back decades.   "That’s the word from the man himself, tucked into a 15-minute interview with Shire Network News on smiley-face fascism that’s smiling less than it used to these days. Take advantage of the slow news morn that’s upon us and listen to him describe just how astonishingly broad the human rights commission’s powers of discovery are. Thoughtcrime offenses aren’t the only Orwellian aspect of the system. Skip ahead to
about 13:30 and take it from there, paying special attention to what he says about denormalizing the calculated, chummy “how are ya” posture of the proceedings.

The main barrier to getting rid of the commissions: The perception that to do so would be to oppose “human rights.” A final, fitting Orwellian flourish."

‘You Have to Give Us Respect’: How Asian Americans Fueled the San Francisco Recall

 The New York Times

The landslide vote to remove three school board members cut across ethnicities and income levels. But Chinese American voters and volunteers were crucial to victory, organizers say.

. . ."Chinese voters were also upset by tweets by Alison Collins, one of the recalled school board members, that were unearthed during the campaign. Ms. Collins said Asian Americans used “white supremacist thinking to assimilate and ‘get ahead.’” She went on to compare Asian Americans to slaves who had the advantage of working inside a slave owner’s home instead of doing more grueling labor in the fields, using asterisks to mask an anti-Black racial slur. The tweets reinforced a sentiment among many Chinese voters of being taken for granted, underrepresented and insulted, people involved in the recall campaign said.". . .

A new Manhattan DA promises a surge of crime, violent and otherwise

 

AfterMath - Home (terrellaftermath.com)

As for Manhattanites, I pity only the 43,000 or so who voted against Bragg (and, probably, against A.G. Letitia James and Joe Biden, too).  As for the rest, whether they voted or sat out the elections, they've earned what's coming their way.

Andrea Widberg  "Manhattan's newly sworn-in District Attorney started by making a very important announcement: He will no longer be enforcing the law. This is, of course, illegal and should subject him to criminal prosecution at either the state or the federal level. Of course, that won't happen. Instead, Manhattan will become a Mad Max-esque city, so rife with crime that, eventually, all normal life stops.

"When Alvin Bragg ran to be Manhattan's D.A., his slogan was "Justice for All."  In his campaign biography, he explained to the voters that he "has spent the better part of two decades in the courtroom, standing up to the powerful and fighting to get justice."  He spent his career "standing up for tenants' rights, civil rights and human rights."  Additionally, he "served as the first chief of a special unit that investigated police-involved killings."  These are all interesting statements from someone running, not to be a defense attorney or a plaintiff's attorney, but to represent the state of New York and the borough of Manhattan in actions against alleged criminals.

"If you're wondering how someone who clearly does not side with the institution he was supposed to represent ended up getting the job, look no farther than the George Soros connection.  The Color of Change PAC received $1 million from George Soros and, in return, Color of Change successfully spent the money to get Bragg elected.". . .
