Free pass: Cop arrested for unloading pistol at church parking lot will not go to prison

cop church shooting William Cox
A 27-year-old deputy was arrested after he admitted to getting drunk and unloading pistols into a Presbyterian church. Instead of being sent to prison for dangerously discharging a firearm in public and putting the lives of innocent people in danger, Somervell County Sheriff's Deputy, William Cox will remain a free man.

As the country reels from the horrifying shooting in Sutherland Springs and searches for answers as to why anyone would commit such a brutal mass murder, this former Texas cop proves he is above the law.

Last week, Cox was given a sweet plea deal by prosecutors. In exchange for him pleading guilty to the charge of deadly conduct, he was sentenced to five years in prison-all of which was suspended. He was simply put on community supervision and given probation.

For shooting up a church, he was also fined $1,500 and will have to report to the jail on weekends for ten days.

The incident began on July 13 when officers responded to a 9-1-1 call about a maniac shooting up a church. When police arrived they found Cox drunk in the parking lot, who immediately admitted to the crime.

Comment: While in this incident no one was seriously injured, the double standards that police are held to are glaring. If there is any hope to bring back policing to serving the public instead of itself, it starts with holding them accountable. But don't hold your breath. As it stands, they are above the law and there's no sign of that changing anytime soon. Here's just a few examples (out of many):

Cop shoots fleeing suspect in the back 9 times and stomps his head; receives Medal of Valor for the murder
Cop keeps his job after mistaking a camera for a gun and shooting an innocent reporter
Violent cop who repeatedly punched surrendering man in the face found not guilty

The Latest on the church shooting in Texas (all times local):

7:50 p.m.

The two men who pursued the gunman after the Texas church shooting visited a vigil together and prayed with community members mourning the 26 people killed in the attack.

Stephen Willeford and Johnnie Langendorff arrived at the vigil with relatives Monday night. They locked arms in a circle and bowed their heads in extended prayer. Many wept openly, including Willeford, who could be seen wiping away tears streaming down his chin.

As the pastor shouted, "Jesus, this is your town," the prayer broke up and the two men left.

Willeford ran from his home with his rifle and confronted the gunman, Devin Kelley, outside the church Sunday. Authorities have said two of the bullets fired by Willeford hit Kelley in the leg and torso. The gunman fled in his vehicle.

Johnnie Langendorff was driving by the church when Willeford flagged him down and they pursued the gunman in Langendorff's truck. Kelley eventually crashed and was found dead in his vehicle.

Shrinking airline seats make travel more uncomfortable

Spirit Airlines, at least, is honest about the tight quarters on its planes. "We're a cozy airline," it says on its website. "We add extra seats to our planes so we can fly with more people. This lowers ticket prices for everyone, just like a car pool."

It's not news that airlines have been squeezing more - and smaller - seats into the backs of their planes. The question is how far they can push their quest for higher profits before running into a backlash from their customers.

"The commercial side - primarily the people who run airline revenue departments - want more seats on planes," said Henry Harteveldt, co-founder of Atmosphere Research Group, an airline and travel industry analyst. They're up against "the people in the airlines' marketing departments, who are trying to act as their passengers' advocates and push back on some of these initiatives."

To accommodate the airlines, seat manufacturers have been skimming and trimming from just about every dimension, relocating the seatback pocket, replacing padding with elastic mesh and whittling down the armrests.

"There are two goals with seats: to squeeze in more people and to make the plane lighter," said Richard Aboulafia, aviation analyst with the Teal Group.

Comment: In their ever expanding quest for profits, passenger comfort and now even safety is put aside. Unfortunately, air travel is such an integral part of today's society that unless you are wealthy, you will have to endure ever deteriorating conditions to travel where you need to.

Texas church shooter Devin Patrick Kelley was so pathetic, he tried to bribe and threatened ex-girlfriends to take him back - and he stooped so low as to date a 13-year-old when he was 18, according to former flings.

"He was very sick in the head," Katy Landry, a former girlfriend of Devin Patrick Kelley, told NBC News. "Years after dating me he would try to bribe me to hang out with him. He ended up assaulting me."

Landry said she met Kelley in church as a teenager, but it was not immediately clear when their relationship began or ended.

Another girl, Brittany Adcock, 22, said Kelley dated her for two months around 2009 when he was 18 and she was just 13.

Comment: There's little question that Devin Kelley was an extremely disturbed individual. See also:

Devin Kelley, Texas gunman, able to buy weapons due to Air Force error

A day after a gunman massacred parishioners in a small Texas church, the Air Force admitted on Monday that it had failed to enter the man's domestic violence court-martial into a federal database that could have blocked him from buying the rifle he used to kill 26 people.

Under federal law, the conviction of the gunman, Devin P. Kelley, for domestic assault on his wife and toddler stepson - he had cracked the child's skull - should have stopped Mr. Kelley from legally purchasing the military-style rifle and three other guns he acquired in the last four years.

"The Air Force has launched a review of how the service handled the criminal records of former Airman Devin P. Kelley following his 2012 domestic violence conviction," the Air Force said in a statement.

A woman has been fired from her job after a photo of her making a rude gesture at President Donald Trump's motorcade went viral. The government contractor she worked for called it 'obscene.'

As the presidential motorcade headed out of the Trump National Golf Club in Virginia on October 28, a cyclist "saluted" it with a middle finger. A photo of the incident quickly went viral on social media.

After the cyclist admitted to her bosses at Akima LLC that she was the one in the photo, she was fired. Her employer said she had violated the company's social media policy.

"They said, 'We're separating from you," Juli Briskman, a mother of two, told HuffPost. "Basically, you cannot have 'lewd' or 'obscene' things in your social media. So they were calling flipping him off 'obscene'."

Comment: Unfortunately, this woman has seriously mis-read the feelings of the majority of Americans and has aligned herself with a vocal minority that is destroying the country.

Kelly Ellis
Collusion at Twitter between abusive users & employees continues seemingly unabated - a recent admission showcasing such inherent problems within the corporation.

Kelly Ellis, an e-celebrity of sorts within the tech industry, made semi-famous by past sexual harassment at Google - is once again in the spotlight of one-sided employee collusion at Twitter.

kelly ellis tweet 1
Ellis recently got into a short 3-Tweet argument with MicroChip™ regarding an ongoing campaign to hold Twitter accountable, where she indicated that she was making her friends on the Twitter Trust & Safety team aware, of him & the campaign.

Undoubtedly, this is an admission of direct collusion with Twitter Trust & Safety - specifically.

This is a rather grave conflict of interest, as Ellis previously indicated that she hoped U.S. President Donald Trump would be assassinated or die very painfully, yet received no suspension:


Comment: So apparently it's okay to promote violence as long as your political leanings are aligned with those that run the site. Never mind the rules, they only apply to those who don't agree with their stance. Otherwise, you might just have a "happy little accident."

From one of the above links:
Keep in mind the above tweets are exactly the type of thing that its Mr. Wu's job to take down and punish. Instead of course because she is on the correct side politically in Alex's mind not only does Kelly get a pass. She actually gets a follow from this Twitter higher up. In many ways it's one of the most blatant signs yet, that Twitter openly forces Conservatives and Liberals to play by two very different sets of rules. Things get even worse when you learn that Kelly has also used the platform to openly donate money to Domestic Terror Organization Antifa.

trump closed account twitter
U.S. President Donald Trump's personal Twitter account was deleted by an employee for a brief period of time on November 2nd, 2017.
Following U.S. President Donald Trump's personal Twitter account being temporarily deleted by an employee, the corporation may not be trustworthy with deception now going beyond previous reports, to include internal suppression of political Tweets, wherein Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey has actually lied directly to the public.

Following the temporary deactivation and/or deletion of Trump's personal Twitter account - Dorsey seemingly endorsed his employee's decision:


Dorsey liked a meme Tweeted by SwiftOnSecurity, which humorously showed the CEO as the late painter Bob Ross, wherein Trump's deletion was not a mistake but only a happy little accident.

Washington Street Journal:
Twitter blamed the incident-which took Mr. Trump's @realdonaldtrump account offline for 11 minutes late Thursday-on actions taken by a customer-support employee on his or her last day of work. Twitter said it was taking measures "to prevent this from happening again."

Inside Twitter, the brief deactivation elicited celebration or amusement even in the upper ranks. A couple of hours after the deactivation of Mr. Trump's account, Twitter Chief Executive Jack Dorsey liked a tweet with an image of his face superimposed on celebrity painter Bob Ross standing before a canvas depicting Mr. Trump's deactivated account. "There are no mistakes, only happy little accidents!" the caption said.

A spokesman for Twitter declined to comment.

Comment: It seems like Twitter is showing us where its true loyalties lie, and it sure ain't its users.
