Pro-life activists were arrested Saturday morning for writing "black preborn lives matter" outside of a D.C. Planned Parenthood.

The chalking was part of an event with Students for Life of America and The Frederick Douglass Foundation where they planned to paint the sidewalk before holding a press conference at 10 a.m.

"I'm gonna tell you now that if you continue chalking you will be placed under arrest for defacing property," a police officer said to the two protesters. As the officers moved in to arrest the two people who were chalking, someone in the crowd said, "you know they do this every Saturday right?"

WATCH:


"Every Saturday, people are here chalking and you are taking somebody, young people, and arresting them because they are simply putting 'black preborn lives matter?' You've gotta be joking," a man said in the video.

The protesters then began chanting "black preborn lives matter!"

Comment: It's not defacing property if you write "Black lives matter."

St. Louis Circuit Attny Kim Gardner globetrots on Soros organization's dime, fails to report trips

St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner, the controversial prosecutor who has selectively enforced the laws she prefers, has become the darling of the progressive left. She was elected in 2016 as a reform candidate after the Black Lives Matter movement was born in the wake of the Ferguson riots. Now, an explosive new report says Kim Gardner has taken many lavish trips on the dime of Soros-backed organizations, and may have broken the law by not reporting them.

KMOV4 News 4 reports:
A News 4 investigation has found that St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner has been flying all around the country and the globe with organizations who want to reform the criminal justice system.

However, it appears she has violated the law, by not reporting the trips.

Sources tell News 4 Gardner is a frequent flyer. At times during her tenure as prosecutor, sources say, she has often been gone from her office a couple of times every month, jetting around on someone else's dime.

Social media snaps show Gardner posing for pictures in Portugal, listening to conversations in New Haven, Connecticut, smiling with other prosecutors in Houston and linking arms in Selma, Alabama.

They are trips she apparently took in 2018 and 2019, but did not disclose on travel reports, as required by law.

Sources tell News 4 that some of the trips were paid for in full, or in part, by an organization called Fair and Just Prosecution, a group that professes to support progressive prosecutors. The organization has repeatedly applauded many of Gardner's actions, including the charges against Mark and Patricia McCloskey for brandishing guns in the Central West End last month.

The group is also supporting outspoken prosecutors such as Marilyn Mosby in Baltimore, who has also recently responded to criticism about her travel, and acknowledged she took a number of trips, saying they were properly reported.

Comment: Ms. Garder's behavior in office has been a long-running scandal. KMOV St. Louis offers this report:

A little on the Tides Foundation from the Capital Research Center:
The Tides Foundation is the philanthropic Left's best-kept secret. From Greenpeace to the anti-Israel J Street, there's hardly a left-wing group that hasn't taken Tides money. Using a sophisticated funding model, Tides has grown into the leading platform for laundering away ties between wealthy donors and the radical causes they fund — while generating hundreds of new organizations along the way.


George Soros is financing the group helping Facebook flag 'fake news' stories

Two guards have been injured in a riot at Georgia's Ware State Prison, local media reported. Purported videos of the chaotic rebellion show inmates covered in blood, holding tasers, and even frog-marching handcuffed prison staff.

The situation is now under control and the facility, located near Waycross, has been put on lockdown, according to local media, citing a statement from the Georgia Department of Corrections.

"Two staff members received minor, non-life-threatening injuries and there are no reported inmate injuries at this time," the statement read.

Local reports also shared a statement from the Waycross Police Department, which confirmed that the riot is under control. The force said there had been injuries but didn't say how grave they are or what weapons were used.


Facebook Live footage, allegedly recorded by prisoners inside the facility, tells quite a violent story.

South Korean authorities arrested the founder of a secretive Christian sect at the centre of the country's largest outbreak of Covid-19 infections on Saturday for allegedly hiding crucial information from contact-tracers and other offences.

Lee Man-hee is the powerful head of the Shincheonji Church of Jesus which is linked to more than 5,200 coronavirus infections, or 36% of South Korea's total cases.

Prosecutors allege the 89-year-old conspired with other sect leaders to withhold information from authorities during the peak of the outbreak among his more than 200,000 followers.

Best of the Web: UK government advisers issue stark warning: Avoid local lockdowns or unleash total anarchy

As Britain imposes local lockdowns, a newly released study suggests the UK is a hair's breadth away from devastating riots. However, the government was warned about this a long time ago, and apparently chose to proceed anyway.

When the British government's policing and security advisers met in London on July 2, their tone was serious. Racial and societal tensions, they warned, had reached boiling point in the UK, and the re-imposition of coronavirus lockdown measures could ignite this powder keg and trigger riots unseen since the mass unrest of 2011.

If this happens, the advisers warned, police would be unable to contain the chaos, and "military support" would be required to restore order.

Comment: It's a basic fact of human psychology that people forced into an inhuman lockdown situation are going to need to vent their frustration - whether that would be going to the beach or protesting in the streets - in the period that follows. Concurrently people are also realizing that they've been deceived about the true nature of the coronavirus and that their livelihoods are being sacrificed for this deception, and so one can understand why people would be angry and why the unaccountable authorities would be concerned: Below are just some of the anti-lockdown and anti-corruption protests at the weekend:

At least eleven people were killed after a large industrial crane toppled over at a shipyard in India. Rescue workers are still trying to save those trapped in the wreckage, according to reports.

A short video shows the heavy-duty yellow crane at the Hindustan Shipyard in Visakhapatnam falling over on its side, creating billows of dust as it came crashing down. The crane was undergoing load testing when it collapsed, local media said, citing a trade union leader.

Several bodies have already been pulled from the rubble and ambulances are on standby to rush survivors to the hospital. Officials are still trying to determine how many people were at the worksite when the accident occurred, and they have reportedly warned that the number of casualties could increase. First responders at the scene are still trying to free trapped workers.

At least 18 police officers were reportedly injured in Berlin on Saturday as they tried to break up a large gathering of people demonstrating against coronavirus restrictions, including the face mask requirement.

Three of the officers were being treated in hospital, Berlin police said on Twitter. It had deployed 1,100 officers to monitor the rally and disperse the crowd.

As German officials warn of soaring infection numbers, the protesters remain defiant. "The virus of freedom has reached Berlin," said one of the organizers, Michael Ballweg.


Others chanted: "We are the second wave," as they moved through the German capital.

Explosive court documents that make Epstein allegations against Clinton, Dershowitz, Prince Andrew leave Trump unscathed

Recently unsealed court documents from a Jeffrey Epstein accuser make allegations against former President Bill Clinton, attorney Alan Dershowitz and Prince Andrew but leave President Donald Trump largely unscathed.

The unsealed documents are from Virginia Giuffre's testimony detailing alleged abuses by Ghislaine Maxwell, an associate of convicted sex offender and accused sex trafficker Epstein.

Giuffre told lawyers in 2011 that Clinton visited Epstein's private Caribbean island where "orgies were a constant thing that took place" and also flew on Epstein's private plane, according to the New York Post.

"I remember asking Jeffrey what's Bill Clinton doing here kind of thing, and he laughed it off and said well he owes me a favor," she said.

"He never told me what favors they were. I never knew. I didn't know if he was serious. It was just a joke."

Domestic violence more than doubled under lockdowns

The unintended consequences of the COVID-19 lockdowns have been severe: mass unemployment, increased drug overdoses and suicides, and widespread social unrest are but a few of them.

On Monday, the National Bureau of Economic Research released a paper detailing another: increased domestic violence.

Analyzing government-mandated lockdowns in India, researchers Saravana Ravindran and Manisha Shah found evidence of a 131 percent increase in complaints of domestic violence in May 2020 in "red zone districts," or districts that experienced the strictest lockdown measures, relative to districts that had less strict measures ("green zones").

The researchers, who used a difference-in-differences empirical strategy, found the increase in domestic violence complaints was consistent with a surge in Google search activity for terms related to domestic violence over the same period.

The authors' findings "contribute to a growing literature on the impacts of lockdowns and stay-at-home policies on violence against women during the COVID-19 pandemic."

The attorney for the man who shot armed protester Garrett Foster in Austin on the night of July 25 has been identified as an active-duty sergeant in the United States Army, reports the Austin American-Statesman. He is identified as Army Sgt. Daniel Perry. The AAS reports Perry was driving for a ride-hailing company on the night of the unpermitted protest. Foster was carrying an AK-47 rifle on the night of the protest.

PJ Media was the first to report that the shooter is a military member and that he was driving in the course of earning extra money in the area of the unpermitted protest that night. We were also first to report the probability that the shooting may have happened in self-defense in accordance with Texas castle doctrine law.
