Livonia Says No To Teen Takeover

Summer is here, and the hoodrats are out and about,trying their best to ruin the fun for law abiding citizens.

A bunch of "Teens " decided to put on Facebook a pronouncement that they would be taking over Livonia's Spree fair.

 

The City of Livonia PD and The City have stated clearly that it is not going to happen.

 The Detroit Free Press: Livonia police warn of zero tolerance at Spree ahead of teen takeover

"Teens" like these are why we can't have nice things.

This area has already lost the Saint Mary's Polish Country Fair (after it lasted for 50 years) due to "Teens" running wild and causing problems, before these actions were fashionably and disarmingly called a Teen Takeover.

Good on the Livonia and the Livonia PD for proactively not putting up with a "teen takeover" threat. 

Verdict Is In But Not Out On The Pacific Palisades Fire Arsonist (Update: Apparently Not So Much)

The jury has reached a verdict ion the case of Jonathan Rinderknecht, the left wing arsonist who set the Lachman fire that became the Palisades Fire in California.

NBC News: Jury reaches a verdict in trial over deadly, destructive Palisades Fire

Jonathan Rinderknecht, 30, faced three federal charges of destruction of property by means of fire, arson affecting property used in interstate commerce and timber set afire for the January 2025 Palisades Fire. 

 The former Uber driver pleaded not guilty in October and faces up to 45 years in prison. Prosecutors argued that Rinderknecht intentionally and maliciously started a previous fire on a popular hiking trail known as Skull Rock on Jan. 1, called the Lachman Fire, that smoldered for days before metastasizing into the giant Palisades Fire six days later.

“On Jan. 1, 2025, Jonathan Rinderknecht started a fire on a hill in the Pacific Palisades,” prosecutor Danbee C. Kim said in closing statements. “He was angry all the time. He believed he was enslaved by the wealthy. He didn’t understand why the ‘rich losers’ and the ‘motherf----- at the top’ had it all.”

In short, he bought fully into the DSA and progressives propaganda, tropes, and bromides about the rich and apparently acted on it, as shown in his digital footprint showing his researching about setting fires at being at the ignition point of the fire right before it was reported.

As of now, they still haven't released the verdict.

Well, update a few hours later. 

 The Narrator: They do not, in fact have verdict. 

Instead, they have a deadlocked and potentially hung jury.

The same link above now goes to this page: NBC News:       Jury deadlocked in trial over deadly, destructive Palisades Fire 

Guess they called that one a tad early.  We will see if they are hung tomorrow or can get to a verdict.  

Of Course She Didn't Vote For It

Every Michigan representative, Republican and Democrat alike voted on a bill to fight organized retail crime and cargo theft and impose more severe sentences on the criminals performing those acts.

All except one that is.

You guessed it, the rep who voted against it was, of course, Rep Rashida Tlaib (D-Dearbornistan).

 The Detroit News:  Michigan lawmakers join push to cut cargo theft, gift card scams

All but one member of Michigan's U.S. House delegation — progressive Detroit Democrat Rashida Tlaib — supported the CORCA bill when it passed the chamber in May.

"I voted against this bill because it would vastly expand the power of Trump’s Department of Homeland Security to surveil and criminalize our communities," Tlaib said in a statement.

Too many of her constituents are criminals and she clearly doesn't like the idea of cracking down on international criminals that she supports, and not leaving these large scale thefts in the hands of soft-on-crime local prosecutors that slap them on the wrist as they steal billions from law-abiding Americans.

If You Haven't Figured It Out Yet - Don't Trust And Do Verify

 

Ol' Honest Abe certainly knew what he was talking about when it comes to AI.

The Detroit Free Press: Attorney who used AI to cite fake cases sanctioned by Michigan court

The Michigan Court of Appeals has ordered financial sanctions against an attorney and referred him to the Attorney Grievance Commission for using artificial intelligence to cite non-existent cases in an appeal he filed. 

As an attorney, contrary to the general public's belief, you cannot make stuff up to support your case, nor can you use AI to make stuff up to support your case. 

That constitutes a fraud upon the court and is very much disfavored.

We've talked about this before, indeed a few times now, and some attorneys who certainly should absolutely know better by now are just not getting it.  

Whether it is laziness, or falling for something that sounds so good for your case that it has to be true, or the desire to win at all costs, its a major problem and needs to stop.

When it comes to AI, or any other source that you plan to submit to the court,  you do not trust it and you need to verify that it is correct and properly represents the proposition you claim you are are using it for before you file it. 

This is especially so for the siren call provided by hallucinogenic AI responses that just happen to perfectly provide the exact support for your case you asked from it. 

The AI isn't going to be sanctioned for making stuff up, You as the attorney using it without verifying it will be, and properly so. 

Race Card A Tad Overdrawn There

A homeowner in upscale Birmingham on a residential street rented his pool out to a third party who then rented it out to another third party for a pool party (this is a tad unusual). It drew over a hundred and fiftypeople, with  people gathering on the street, dancing on cars, and was loud, disturbing the neighborhood and blocking traffic.

Some media-blurred video of the party scene here.

This led to neighbors not being happy about the disturbance, and understandably so. 

The Detroit News: Birmingham pool party homeowner to appeal citations, vows to party on

The homeowner initially denied anything happened warranting such a response. 

And of course, after that denial, he has to play the race card as the reason why he was cited for the disturbance:

"Unfortunately, I am Black, I’m in Birmingham, and I throw parties, so I get the police called on me almost every time I have people over here," he said. "It comes with the territory,  

The race card is getting a tad overdrawn here. Its not cause he os Blakc, its because he held a raucous party in a nice residential neighborhood, not the hood, and apparently invited the hoodrats to attend:

On that note, the homeowner said he doesn't appreciate comments on social media about Saturday's partygoers, who were Black. He said he's seen people on social media call them "animals." 

He then said he would continue:

Asked if he'll keep throwing pool parties in the future, the homeowner said he will — just not as large, crowded and raucous as the one on Saturday.

"I live here. I pay taxes. I have a right to have gatherings here just like anyone else," he said.

So much for the nothing happened initial defense, now it is he'll make sure to be not as crowded next time.

Since the race card didn't work,  he next stated he would keep doing it, but at least he then did a half-ass sorry, not sorry, apology.

In a statement released on Facebook on Friday (June 19), the homeowner (who wants to remain anonymous) acknowledged that guests leaving the June 13 gathering caused significant traffic congestion and inconvenienced nearby residents.

“Regardless of how the event began, I understand that many neighbors were inconvenienced, and for that I am genuinely sorry,” the homeowner said. “I value this community and want to be a good neighbor.”

The homeowner said future events would include additional planning, oversight, and crowd-management measures to prevent similar issues.

It is the "I did it, it happened even though I claim it didn't happen, and I'm gonna do it again" kind of apology.  

A trifecta of fail: Starting with the Dindu Nuffin, Followed up with the Race Card, c;losing out with the sorry not sorry fake apology. 

Very classy, and I'm sure his neighbors don't appreciate it one bit.

Juneteenth

As much as Democrats made Juneteenth a national holiday in order to attempt to maintain America's racial wounds and keep Blacks on the Democrat plantation by pandering to the grievance mongers, we should instead celebrate it in line with its original intent:

Juneteenth commemorates Republicans taking action and freeing slaves from their Democrat masters.

Democrats have been mad at Republicans ever since. 

The Flag Of The Only County In The Middle East

Where gays and trannies don't get flying lessons by being thrown off buildings, is now considered by progressive LGBTQEIEIO idiots to be a "hateful symbol".

The Detroit News:  Michigan LGBTQ group labels Israel flag 'harmful symbolism'

Apparently the mere presence of Israeli flag at the pride march caused trauma and, per the director of the pride festival, "real harm" to gay Palestinians, Lebanese, Syrian, and other LGBTQs from those hotbeds of toleration for LGBT rights.

This is, of course, totally unlike the trauma and "real harm" they might experience of being thrown off buildings or being stoned to death for being LGBTQ in those hotbeds of toleration like Gaza, Lebanon, and Syria.
