CRIME REPORT

KILLA

Obama's Victim

What's all the hub-bub about? Why is this TV ad being banned? Racist attack ad?

I believe it to be a legitimate question. Should we be killing killers?

Why not answer the question?

Police believe there was more than one killer and said they are following up a host of leads and have not ruled out any motive, including whether the slayings might have been gang-related.

"The bottom line is we need the community's help," said Deputy Superintendent Steven Peterson.
Investigators believe all the victims, in their 20s or teens, knew one another. Their bodies were all found on the main level.

The slayings came to light Wednesday afternoon when a woman trying to visit the house found the bodies. There were signs of forced entry, police said.

The killings come at a time of heightened concern in the city about a recent spate of gun violence. The five deaths brought to 15 the number of people who have been shot to death in Chicago in less than a week.
Chicago Mayor Richard Daley said he plans to meet Friday with more than two dozen officials from religious groups, police, schools and social service agencies to talk about what's causing the violence and how to stop it.

WHAT'S WRONG WITH STONERS?

Couple videotaping an 18 month old toddler, forcibly making it smoke a marijuana pipe

Everyone in this video was arrested and charged. And that's something that might not have happened if the suspects had not videotaped their crime.

A Pataskala home was where prosecutors said the alarming event took place.

The tape and the crime were discovered when a camcorder was sold to a Columbus pawn shop. Hard to believe, it's harder to watch.

At first, it appeared a male was smoking marijuana through a pipe and a baby was playing nearby.

Then the unthinkable happens. The male, whom police said was 18-year-old Melvin Blevins, was seen passing the pipe to the baby. You see the 18-month-old little girl resist and video cut to black. But what was recorded next likely will stun you.

16-year-old Angel Dailey, identified by police, was seen holding the little girl. The male was seen placing the pipe in front of the child's mouth. Police believed the videotaped child to be Blevins' niece.

Police arrested 16-year-old Dailey. She was charged with child endangerment and corrupting another with drugs.

Blevins is in custody facing the federal charge of distributing narcotics to a person younger than 21.
Blevins was indicted with four other males -- including Angel's dad, Don Dailey --- on federal drug and weapons charges last month.

In March, Blevins was indicted in a drug bust that police said included more than $3 million in cash and more than a ton of marijuana.

The child is now 2 years old. Police believe the tape was recorded when she was 18 months old. Blevins will appear in federal court Friday to hear his charges and indictment.

Angel Dailey remains in a juvenile-detention center, Newsome reported. Earlier this month, she pleaded not guilty to charges of corrupting and endangering the child.

THEN THERE ARE THESE TWO...

Elizabeth Lyvers and John Robert Gray. The dimwitted Kentucky couple was arrested Sunday for felony child abuse after taking pictures of Lyvers's two-year-old son smoking pot. The pair was nabbed when an employee at the convenience store where Lyvers, 24, and Gray, 20, dropped off their film called cops after seeing the offending images. According to Bardstown police, one photo shows Gray holding a pipe to the child's mouth while an unidentified man--who is being sought--lights the pipe (after his arrest, Gray acknowledged that the device contained marijuana). Lyvers's son--and a one-year-old fathered by Gray--were removed from the couple's home by state child welfare officials. The below mug shots were taken by the Nelson County Sheriff's Department.

So many times we think we are invisible. No one knows who did it. No one will know it was me that sent that email, that made that post, that slandered someone. Even though you post under a name no one recognizes and put in a hotmail or yahoo email address you leave a trail where ever you go on the internet.

Think your boss doesn't know you spend time at your desk looking up porn? Think your wife isn't smart enough to figure out who you are flirting with online? Think you your child is safe online?

Think again.

We just worked a case where a well known person made the mistake most of you have made a time or two.

If you need help let us know. Email us at bluelineradio@aol.com We can make the invisible visible.

I SMELL WACO

Since when do we have the right to enter private property and by show of military type force remove over 400 children from their mothers on a warrant based on an anonymous phone call reportedly made by a 16 year old married woman complaining about mistreatment? Has "Sarah" even been identified? Has her 50 year old husband been charged with any crime?

I watched the situation developing around the recent government intervention into the alleged abuse of children belonging to the breakaway Mormon sect led by the Texas nutcase Warren Jeffs with growing interest.

I don't defend the teachings and practices of these religious extremists, nor do I condone the bizarre treatment of their children; however, this episode looks strangely like Act II of the Waco debacle.

Is not the very foundation of this country based on religious freedom? "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof." Seems to me an overzealous government skipped the "free exercise thereof" part of the First Amendment rights of a whole lot of people in Texas.

What about parental rights? Where are the parental rights of the women whose children have been kidnapped by the Texas authorities? And since when do you have the authority to imprison a pregnant women because you suspect she may be the victim of a crime.

If you condone the heavy-handed treatment of this religious sect by the government, you must ask yourself what the government should do about the children of practitioners of voodoo, and San-teria, and others who have a direct conflict with Christian beliefs with their obvious sacrifices and allegiances to Satan. What about Judaism and Islam, where children's genitalia are ceremoniously surgically altered by the practice of circumcision, for both male and female? Should the government step in and be the advocate of those "abused" children?

Religious freedom doesn't mean it's all right and sanctioned by the government. It means that regardless of how foreign and distasteful someone's religious ideas are, they must be tolerated. The alternative is to have no religion, or government-sanctioned religion. Think about it, is this where we are headed in our push to a one world government?

If the same criminal charges (the sexual abuse of children) were leveled against a member of a Catholic Church as are levied against the individual in Texas, would the government take all of the children of the congregation into protective custody? I think not. What about a Hassidic community? There are gypsies in South Carolina called the Travelers have for generations basically auctioning off their daughters to sect members for marriage. Seventh Day Adventists for excusing incest and child rape. Where are the tanks and busses for these children whose parents participate in the congregation?

And let's not discuss the children growing up in drug infested communities and poor homes with single parents, whose enrollment in the local school system places their very lives in danger due to the gang influence. Let's not discuss how the country's infant mortality rate is higher than some third world counties.

The laws regarding any criminal conduct are pretty straightforward. There has to be a victim, there has to be an investigation, there has to be a charge, and finally a trial based on facts and findings, and a just punishment. Or I guess you could just round 'em up and burn the place down.

FOLLOW THE MONEY

It just dawned on me that there seems to be no other Legislator awaiting the same fate as Thomas Wright. Obtaining property by false pretenses that is, Felonies, prison time, humiliation, punishment and ruination. Where are all the others that, like Wright, like Ballance, like so many others that have whored themselves out to the salesman with the fat sack full of goodies?

Had Wright taken the stand and said, "I told a lobbyist I needed money to keep me afloat for a month or so while I try to put together some local investors on a project I'm working on. And he gave me $5,000." Not that the lobbyist could care less what the money was for, they just want to know how to hand the money over without being caught and better yet, how they can deduct it. Hummmm how about a non-profit foundation?

I am surprised it took me so long to figure this out. Of course Wright went to the local lobby weasel, who hooked him up with his pal at Budweiser or AT&T or some pharmaPIG to "donate" a handful into Wright's pocket so that when needed Mr. Wright can be expected to be a friend. Reminds me of the Godfather.

And of course it is the Godfather, it's organized crime robbing taxpayers of money and power. If the lobbyist have the power then the citizens are second fiddle but they don't know this because that big shiny $25,000 piece of pork that landed in the lap of Boss Hog of Mayberry, nope because of that they will overlook the $2.4 million in semi-secret giveaways, incentives, DOT/party favors, inclusions, exclusions and such handed to the civic center, developer, restaurateur, Hollywood producer, hotel chain, manufacturer, and or labor group that feeds their friends and not their district.

I've seen accounts of prostitution arrests when the John goes free. It's the whore that goes to jail, the pimp and the money man always walk. Thomas must have been on someone shit list.

I'll bet that when all this took place, around first of 2002, is exactly the same time that Wright was about to have his own personal house of cards collapse. He was panicking a year earlier and went to Senator RC Soles of Columbus County for a bailout. Soles was known for his, um, generosity and helped out and saved Wright's house from being auctioned on the courthouse steps. If memory serves me right Thomas was unable to accommodate Soles' terms and Soles briefly ended up with Thomas Wright's mother's house.

In 1998, when a family home in Wilmington was about to be foreclosed upon, Wright asked for help. The home was owned by his mother, who had recently died, and the children couldn't agree over settling the estate, according to Soles, a Democrat and longtime friend.

Soles said he bought the house, believing it was a good business deal but also a favor for a friend. Three years later, Soles wanted to sell, but Wright wasn't ready to buy it back, Soles said.

"I wanted to move it," Soles said.

So Soles started to put it on the market, and Wright got a loan to buy the house. More foreclosure proceedings eventually followed before the house was sold at auction. from the N&O

Soles bought the house on July 8, 1998 for $80,000. On March 5, 2001 he sold it to Thomas Wright's wife, Joyce for $128,000. When the house was sold at auction 3 years later in 2004, the it sold for $79,500. A loss of nearly $50,000. Six months later the house sold again for $81,000. A comparable in the neighborhood would show that the house's value in 2001 would not have been much more than what it sold to Soles for in 1998. When Soles sold it back he made a profit of $48,000, a return on investment of 62% over a 2 and a half year period. What was the reason for the increase in value then? And how was it that the home could have appraised so high. Certainly the bank didn't loan Wright 150% of the value. Is this where Wright learned about taking a second on the added on surcharge that was placed on the Lofton building that was to be the 1898 museum?

It would have been during this period that Wright would have been carrying over $500,000 in debt - three houses. Assuming his mortgage rate might have been 8% and that the property would have been leveraged to the max, that would mean his monthly payments would have been roughly $3,700 a month not including taxes and insurance until the Dock Street house sold in foreclosure in 2004. Just about the same time Wright began screwing his friend Dan Gottovi, Wayne Lofton, the banks, credit union, etc when everything around him began to collapse. By this time he was way in over his head.
