A bomb threat at the Santa Monica Pier in California is being investigated by police who have evacuated the popular tourist destination. The timing of such a scare on the 16th anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks may heighten security concerns.

Hours after a suspicious vehicle was deemed safe, the pier remained closed Monday until around 7:00pm local time.

Comment: This kind of stunt shifts focus, uses resources and creates fear -- be it a whim or a distraction.

At least eight people were filmed by a local ABC camera crew breaking into Simon's Sportswear in Fort Lauderdale
At least 32 people have been arrested across Florida for trying to loot empty businesses and homes that have been evacuated in preparation for Hurricane Irma - 28 alone in Miami, according to local authorities.

Two people burst into an Orlando sporting store and allegedly stole guns, before facing off with SWAT in a standoff.

Shocking videos also emerged of gangs trying to break into stores and take advantage of deserted properties.

Police were called to the scene after witnesses reported a burglary at Academy Sports near the Mall at Millenia in Orlando, WESH reported.

Soon afterward, SWAT team officers arrived when it became clear the looters were allegedly trying to steal guns.

Sheriff forced to pay for sending SWAT team after fellow cop who criticized him

Terrebonne Parish police graphic
A Louisiana Sheriff, who sent a SWAT team after a fellow officer who exposed his corruption, is now being held accountable with a civil lawsuit.

In Terrebonne Parish, if you want to expose the corruption of local politicians, don't be surprised when cops invade your home and seize your property. That's exactly what happened to the owner of a Facebook page called "ExposeDat" (similar to the New Orleans Saints' motto WhoDat) who was apparently getting too close to the truth. Sheriff Jerry Larpenter - one of the targets of the anti-corruption blog - executed search warrants to try and stop the exposure, and now, it is going to cost him.

Wayne Anderson, a veteran who previously served as a Terrebonne Parish deputy and a New Orleans Police officer, and his wife Jennifer, were the subjects of the raid which took place in 2016.

As WWL-TV reports, a "compromise" has been reached in the civil lawsuit against Terrebonne Parish Sheriff Jerry Larpenter over the illegal raid of a Houma couple's home aimed at unmasking a blogger critical of Larpenter and Terrebonne Parish leaders.

Disturbing school drill held children hostage by school official threatening to kill them

trauman at school
Middle school children were left traumatized, one with PTSD, after a masked man held them hostage and threatened to kill them all as part of an official school drill.

In America's modern-day police state, it seems the state knows no bounds as to how far it will go to keep children and adults in a perpetual state of fear. A recent lawsuit out of Hawaii illustrates the extent of the American fear culture and how its insanity is tormenting and traumatizing America's youth.

For more than 10 minutes, middle school children were held hostage by a raging lunatic in a mask, swinging a hammer while threatening to kill them all. Naturally, officials claim this drill, involving a school official wearing a mask and holding a hammer while threatening to kill children, was done for the "safety of those children." Well, Michelle and Eddie Chavez aren't buying that excuse.

According to a report from Courthouse News, the couple has since filed a federal lawsuit over this incident.

A grant for a two-year study was awarded to the University of Washington this summer. The project will interview 250 children aged four to six, and their parents, asking a series of questions about "gendered behavior."

At least nine people were arrested after clashes in Oregon and Washington saw 'antifa' activists attack police officers, and far-right demonstrators and other rival groups scuffled in the streets, while a driver rolled his pickup truck towards a crowd.

The incidents occurred after the conservative group Patriot Prayer scheduled a 'Peaceful Portland Freedom March' in downtown Portland on Sunday afternoon.

However, concerned about counter-protesters, the group decided to relocate the demonstration to Vancouver, Washington, about 15 minutes away, at the last minute.

But counter-protesters still turned up at Portland's plaza and waterfront park, carrying signs which read "fascists not welcome" and "fight the right."

The scheduled removal of the statue of Confederate General Robert E. Lee in Dallas, Texas has been delayed, after the crane dispatched for the purpose was involved in a crash that killed one, city officials said.

A tractor-trailer collided with the crane on a freeway exit ramp Sunday evening, Dallas police. The truck driver was pronounced dead at the scene. The crane driver was not injured.

It was not immediately clear when city officials would resume the removal of the monument. The Dallas city council voted to get rid of Lee's statue from the Robert E. Lee Park on Wednesday.

There has been a wave of Confederate monument removals across the US, following the violence in Charlottesville, Virginia on August 12. White nationalists gathered in Charlottesville to protest the planned relocation of a Lee monument, and clashed with a group of counter-protesters. Later in the day, a car reportedly driven by one of the white nationalists crashed into a crowd of counter-protesters, killing one woman and injuring 19 other people.
