VIDEO: GOP Pa. mayor arrested for kidnapping 20-year-old man; gave him alcohol, wanted oral sex, fired gun

GOP anonymous cartoon

 

“My name is Jay, and I am a Republican, a hypocrite, a creep, AND an alcoholic.”

 

“Hi Jay.”

Marcus Hook, Pennsylvania Mayor Jay Schiliro is in– How did Dick Cheney put it again? Oh yeah– “deep doo-doo.”

The party of “family values” strikes again. Via the Delaware County Daily Times:

Arrested last week on charges he abused his position to imprison a 20-year-old Trainer man during a drunken, gun-wielding encounter at his home in February, Marcus Hook Mayor James “Jay” Schiliro has dropped his bid for re-election. But he said Wednesday he plans to finish out his term as mayor. [...]

Authorities allege that late on the evening of Feb. 21, Schiliro contacted the young man by text message and had a police officer deliver him to his borough home. There… the mayor allegedly gave the young man alcohol and produced three firearms, one of which was fired into papers inside the house. During the encounter, the mayor repeatedly asked the young man if he could give him oral sex, according to court documents.

He’s being charged with “official oppression, recklessly endangering another person, unlawful restraint, false imprisonment and providing alcohol to a minor,” all misdemeanors.

Did I mention that Mayor Jay’s 13-year-old daughter was asleep upstairs?

He’s out on $50,000 bail, as long as he stays away from firearms and of course, any contact with the 20-year-old man whom he plied with drink and with whom he really, really wanted to engage in oral sex. Allegedly.

He once filed an ethics complaint against a Democrat, which is ironic. You know what else is ironic? He’s a member of Mayors Against Illegal Guns. I wonder what he thinks about marriage equality.

And here’s one more nugget that just boggles the sane mind:

While caucus meetings are not typically well-attended, Manerchia said there was a standing-room-only crowd, with attendance split between those in support of the mayor staying on and those in favor of his immediate resignation.

“I’d say it was 50-50,” Manerchia said.

I’msorrywhat?

Of course, conservatives are making a big deal out of this because of his affiliation to Mayors Against Illegal Guns. One blogger put it this way: Leftist Hypocrite on Guns Arrested for Having Gun.

As has been reported everywhere, the “leftist” is clearly a Republican. Nice try.

Via an email alert from the L.A. Times:

A Los Angeles man has been arrested in connection with a Facebook post that threatened to conduct shootings at multiple area elementary schools, sources familiar with the investigation said today.

Several weapons were seized at the man’s northeast Los Angeles home during the arrest on Sunday, police said.

Also, LAPD Chief Charlie Beck announced on Sunday that police will begin daily dedicated patrols of Los Angeles schools to protect against potential shooters when classes resume after winter break in January.

Republican Las Vegas woman arrested after trying to vote twice

Nevada Secretary of State Ross Miller said that the FBI has arrested a Republican Las Vegas woman, charging that she tried to vote twice in the presidential election.

Roxanne Rubin first voted at an early voting place in Henderson and then, that same day, she tried to vote again at a polling site in Las Vegas. She denied that she’d already voted.

Via CBS Las Vegas:

Rubin was arrested around 4 p.m. at the Riviera hotel-casino, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported. She was charged with one felony count of voting more than once in the same election.

It’s the Republicans that have tried to suppress the vote in several Republican-run states, and from the reports I’ve seen, it’s Republicans who have been caught committing voter fraud.

Voter I.D. fraud is nearly non-existent, and, of course, the GOP-generated Voter I.D. laws affect mostly Democratic voters.

UPDATED: Couple held at gunpoint by neighbors, arrested. Nobody believed that they were the new owners.

Via Souza/White House

Remember this from back in 2009? At the time, President Obama said he hoped that it would be a “teachable moment”:

BUMPED AND UPDATED:

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution (http://bit.ly/Ikmxvj) reports the father and son were arrested Monday and charged with aggravated assault, false imprisonment and criminal trespass. [...]

Authorities say they grabbed semiautomatic rifles and snuck up behind the couple, 61-year-old Jean-Joseph Kalonji and his 57-year-old wife Angelica.

That incident reminded me of what happened to a couple in Georgia (full story and video here). It looks like the president’s moment wasn’t as teachable as he’d hoped.

Here’s how it unteachably unfolded: A couple had just closed escrow on a foreclosed home and were told by their real estate agent that they should swing by and change the locks.

When a neighbor saw them, “He say to put the hands up and get out from the house, otherwise he would shoot us,” according to the husband.

The neighbors didn’t believe that the couple owned the house, so they called the sheriff, who locked them up.

Did I mention that the new owners were African American?

That’s right, the man and wife were arrested, charged with loitering and prowling, and forced to spend the night in jail. For trying to work on their own house. That they owned. That was theirs. That they bought.

Perhaps another Beer Summit is in order.

VIDEO- Fla. Rep. Allen West: “I believe there are about 78 to 81 members of the Democratic Party that are members of the Communist Party.”

Via Roll Call:

Florida Rep. Allen West (R) said Tuesday that “he’s heard” scores of Democratic Members of Congress are communists, according to the Palm Beach Post and confirmed by West’s campaign to Roll Call.

I believe there are about 78 to 81 members of the Democratic Party that are members of the Communist Party: It’s called the Congressional Progressive Caucus,” West said at an event Tuesday, according to a partial YouTube video and his campaign manager, Tim Edson, who was there. West was responding to a question: “What percentage of the American legislature do you think are card-carrying Marxists or International Socialists?” [...]

A call to the Communist Party USA was answered by a woman who gave her name as Esther. Asked about West’s comments, she said, “That’s the most ridiculous statement I’ve ever heard.”

In case it slipped your mind, this is the same lunatic who had no problem with arresting my friend and radio host Nicole Sandler when she dared to commit democracy.

VIDEO- Planned Parenthood suspect: “I am guilty. I lit up the clinic…because they’re killing babies there.”

Suspect identified in Wisconsin Planned Parenthood bombing, arrested on probation violation

Please note: Blog headline edited to clarify.

Abortion providers have been threatened and killed, radical laws are being introduced, and more recently, a Wisconsin Planned Parenthood building was bombed. Gee, that could be why the term “War on Women” became the Twitter hashtag used to describe the assault on women’s reproductive rights, ya think?

The FBI and the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms are involved in the latest investigation, and an arrest has been made of a man who placed a handmade bomb on the clinic’s window sill.

There was a surveillance video of someone placing the explosive device at the scene, and of an SUV that was in a crash that occurred not long after the Planned Parenthood explosion. The man involved in the accident was arrested.

PostCrescent.com has more:

Police said today they identified the man after reviewing surveillance footage.

The man was booked into the Outagamie County Jail on Monday evening on a probation violation. No charges have yet been referred to prosecutors.

“The focus today is to determine what else we can discover that might link this person to the situation,” said Grand Chute Police Chief Greg Peterson.
