TRIBAL MASS MURDER IN A SMALL TOWN - 4 SHOT TO DEATH IN CALIFORNIA


Cherie Lash Rhoades, suspected mass murderer

"She bullied her way through life," said Sandra Parriott, a lifelong resident of Cedarville and owner of two downtown markets. (HOTD: Sometimes you can judge a book by its cover). "But I would never think she would start blowing people away in a meeting."

Police arrested Cherie Lash Rhoades on suspicion that she did just that Thursday in Alturas, leaving four dead and two wounded in a gun and knife attack at a meeting on whether to evict Rhoades from one of the nine little houses on the rancheria in the small town of Cedarville, California.

Cedarville is a small town of about 1,500 people in the Great Basin, where the Paiute people once roamed with the skills to live in hard country. Now there are cattle on the range. The town is tucked between the foothills of the snowcapped Warner Mountains to the west, and a string of alkali lakes to the east. The tribal rancheria is on the western edge of town, by the fairgrounds, announced by a simple wooden sign. Nine small one-story homes are grouped around a small playground. Streets are paved, with new concrete sidewalks.




Eviction from tribal housing is among the most serious punishments for American Indians. Though police have said they are still working on a motive, a nephew who lived with her, Jacob Penn, said she snapped under the pressure of her brother trying to evict her. The brother, Rurik Davis, who lived down the street on the Rancheria, had apparently taken over as tribal chairman and was among the dead. She also shot and killed one of her nieces and one of her nephews at the meeting.

Alturas Police Chief Ken Barnes said they were looking into whether embezzlement allegations spurred the tribe's efforts to evict Rhoades but they had not established any definitive motive. She had been under federal investigation over at least $50,000 in missing funds, a person familiar with the tribe's situation told The Associated Press on Friday

Almost all of the 35 residents of the rancheria are related to Rhoades. She was being held at an undisclosed location because the husband of one of the dead, the only nonrelative to be shot, works at the Modoc County Jail, Sheriff Mike Poindexter said.

She hasn't appeared in court yet.

There were witnesses to this public shooting and no doubt about who carried it out.

Stealing from the tribe (allegedly) and then killing her own family members. She's a pig.

Looks like a dude.

I can picture her throwing her weight around. Yup.

She's history, she'll never be free again.

WE WANT OUR TAX REFUND - NOW!!!



On Friday, a man got into an argument with a tax preparer because a woman accompanying him wasn't able to get a cash tax refund at City Tax Service in Detroit.

He beat the tax preparer and shot a security guard and two women who were in the office - all of whom were rushed to the hospital on Friday. The man fled but a witness told police where he ran and he was apprehended right away. The woman turned herself in to police a short time later.

One of the victims was reported in critical condition and police speculated the others had serious injuries. Haven't found any updates on their conditions in media reports today.

The Wayne County prosecutor's office says 19-year-old Xzavier Mazyck (ZAYV'-yur MA'-zik) was the shooter. He was arraigned today, and a Detroit District Court judge ordered him held on a $250,000 bond. Mazyck's probable cause hearing is scheduled March 14.

Stupid fucker. He's probably never payed taxes in his life so of course he doesn't know how it works. I'm amused and disgusted at the same time.

Of course I know a shooting is no laughing matter.

[Cynical Ninja]

It seems to be more and more the case that when things don't go someones way or someone annoys or irritates them their gut response is to pull out their gun and start shooting.

If I worked in an American bank I definitely wouldn't refuse any loans, jesus.

Last Call in Ohio...Truly





Off-duty officer Jose Andy Chavez ^, 28-year-old bartender Ramiro Sanchez, and a 25-year-old customer, Daniel Ramirez were all shot and killed this weekend at the Last Call bar in Fremont, Ohio. RIP.

Police said Monday they are seeking Igmidio Mista in the shooting that occurred around 1:35 a.m. Sunday, about 35 miles southeast of Toledo. The arrest warrant charges him with three counts of murder.

Detectives say the suspect may have been in the bar for some time and gotten into a fight with another patron before he started shooting. Police are reviewing the bar's surveillance. The officer's wife was at the bar at the time.

A fourth man shot at the bar, 25-year-old Ramiro Arreola, was flown to a hospital in critical condition. He was a friend of the others.

...And just across town...

About an hour after the shooting at Last Call, a call of shots fired was reported at Night Riders Motorcycle Club, 200 Allen Street. At the time, no one in the area had any information, police said, but a while later a man showed up at Fremont Memorial Hospital with a gunshot wound to the abdomen.

Cardell Beachum, 44, told police he was not aware he was shot until after he got home. He was also air lifted to a Toledo hospital.

Ya know, Every time I have been at a shootout, I always check to make sure I have not been shot before I go home. Just seems like the thing to do

[Duchess]

How the hell can someone not know they've been shot? No brain, no pain?

UPDATES

Doh!

Turns out, Curtis Reeves ^ (the retired LEO being held til trial for shooting to death a man who'd angered him by texting his daughter's babysitter during movie previews) used his phone to text his son minutes before the deadly altercation.

========================================


William Dresser ^, the man who fatally shot his wife of 63 years in a Carson City hospital in January, told LE that he loved his spouse so much he had no other choice but to kill her.

"She was paralyzed from the neck down and very uncomfortable without much of a future, so I just helped her along," said William Dresser, 88, who has been charged with open murder and was released on $225,000 bail at the end of January. She reportedly asked him to help end her misery repeatedly. Prosecutors have confirmed that they won't seek the death penalty (good).

He and the late Frances Dresser, 86, had been married 63 years. Neighbors contend they were a very close and very happy couple.

Sad story. One of his daughters is staying with him because he was on suicide watch while he was being held in Carson City jail.

KILL THE JEWS; HEIL HITLER!

After shooting and killing three people on Sunday, hate monger and all-around POS Frazier Glenn Cross was apprehended at a nearby elementary school -- he sat in the back of a patrol car and shouted "Heil Hitler!".


Frazier Glenn Cross ^ is charged with shooting to death a boy and his grandfather outside a Jewish community center near Kansas City, Kansas on Sunday, and then a woman at a nearby Jewish assisted living facility (identity not revealed at this time).


The POS has been propagating hate for decades. He is the founder and former leader of the Carolina Knights of the Ku Klux Klan and the White Patriot Party, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), which monitors hate groups. Both organizations operated as paramilitary groups in the 1980s.

Cross is a "raging anti-Semite" who has posted extensively in online forums that advocate exterminating Jews. He has called Jews "swarthy, hairy, bow-legged, beady-eyed, parasitic midgets." According to the SPLC, Cross founded and ran the Carolina Knights of the Ku Klux Klan in the 1980s. He was forced to shut down after the SPLC sued him for operating an illegal paramilitary organization and intimidating African-Americans. He then formed another group, the White Patriot Party.

In the late 1980s, Cross spent three years in prison on weapons charges and for plotting the assassination of SPLC founder Morris Dees. The short sentence was a result of a plea bargain he struck with federal prosecutors. In exchange, he testified against 14 white supremacists in a sedition trial in Arkansas in 1988. Being the coward that he is, Frazier laid low for many years -- he was viewed as "white race traitor" in his lovely social circle. He began to re-emerge on the scene after establishing the "Aryan Alternative" tabloid that he's been peddling since 2005.

If Cross is charged and convicted of a hate crime, under federal law, the death penalty could be on the table. That would apply if the charge is that the defendant was motivated by the victims' "race, color, religion or national origin."

Being that Frazier was a convicted felon, he obtained the firearms used in Sunday's attack from a "straw buyer," a middleman with a clean record who could buy weapons legally and then sell or give them to Cross, allowing Cross to avoid federal background checks, a U.S. law enforcement official said. He had three guns when he was arrested Sunday, authorities said. (HOTD: I hope the straw buyer is arrested immediately and ends up spending years behind bars.)


^ Reat Griffin Underwood, 14 and his grandfather Willian Lewis Corporon were at the Overland Park Jewish Community Center. Reat was there to audition for a singing competition. His grandfather, was a retired doctor from Oklahoma who had recently moved to KC to be closer to his grandkids. The bullets struck them in their car. RIP.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Turns out, on his alleged mission to kill Jews, Frazier missed the mark. Though they were at the Jewish Center, the grandfather and grandson were in fact Methodists, according to their pastor, the Rev. Adam Hamilton.

Yesterday, the ADL reissued a security bulletin to synagogues and Jewish communal institutions across the country, urging them to review their security plans for the Passover holiday and Hitler's birthday (April 20).

So . . . killing Christians is now considered a "Hate Crime"?

If someone is criminally violated and/or killed because of their specific religion (any religion), the perpetrator could face federal hate crime charges.

In this case, since Cross allegedly thought that the kid and his grandpa were Jewish -- and that's the reason that he killed them -- I think he could still be charged and possibly convicted of a hate crime given his motive.

It was my impression that "Hate Crimes" applied to 'protected classes'.

Call me old-fashioned . . . it's just plain murder, to me.

Fed-Ex Employee injures six, kills self.

http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/natio...a/8449315/

A 19-year-old package handler decked out "Rambo-style," with an assault rifle and bullets strapped to his chest, opened fire on fellow employees at a FedEx facility in suburban Atlanta early Tuesday, wounding six people — one critically — before killing himself.

The man, dressed all in black, entered the 500,000-square-foot warehouse and began shooting at 5:54 a.m. ET, said Sgt. Dana Pierce of the Cobb County Police Department. The shooter was identified as Geddy Kramer.

Police found the suspect about three hours later dead of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound in the loading dock area, Pierce said. He also had an unspecified number of unused explosive devices described as Molotov cocktails.

Pierce said a 28-year-old man remained in in critical condition Tuesday evening at Wellstar Kennestone Hospital. Two men, ages 19 and 22, and a 52-year-old woman were in stable condition, and two other victims, a 42-year-old woman and a 38-year-old man, were treated and released.

Michael Nitzken, a doctor, told reporters that all the victims' wounds were consistent with shotgun blasts.

Liza Aiken, a fellow employee, told reporters that she was working nearby early Tuesday when she heard the "clink" sound of a knife hitting the floor, and looked up to see the suspect.

"He had an assault rifle. He had bullets strapped to his chest like Rambo," Aiken said. "I mean, he looked like he was heading into war. As soon as I saw him, I ran the other way. I ran and made sure that people upstairs were gone. He was in all black. I think he had a camo vest."

Another tragic workplace shooting. At this time no one but the gunman has died, here's hoping the injured pull through.

[Cheyne]

Kramer may have had bigger plans than just shooting people. Police found four incendiary devices at the scene.

The FBI was brought in to investigate four incendiary devices found at the scene. The devices, which reportedly resembled Molotov cocktails, did not go off.

Sgt. Pierce says police also searched Kramer's car in the parking lot.

Pierce says more than 100 officers responded from the Georgia State Patrol, GBI, FBI, ATF, Homeland Security, Atlanta Police, Gwinnett Sheriff's Dept., Fayette County officers, Acworth Police, Marietta Police and Kennesaw Police.

As bad as it was, police said it could have been worse. They said that the type of ammunition Kramer chose may be the reason there were no fatalities. He chose bird shot instead of buckshot or shotgun slugs.

[Maggot]

Why cant these people go crazy in a place like that baptist church that pickets funerals or something. Or at some black panther or KKK rally.

[Donovan]

Haha stupid ass probably died with a hard on thinking he killed people with birdshot. Hope his bullet hurt.

6 PEOPLE SHOT TO DEATH, 7 OTHERS INJURED IN SANTA BARBARA, CALIFORNIA SPREE



"This was a premeditated mass murder," (Sheriff) Brown said, and he labeled the suspect as "severely mentally disturbed."

Authorities searching for a motive were looking into a video posted on social media that contains a man's tirade against women who supposedly rebuffed him, Brown said.

Seven others suffered "gunshot wounds or traumatic injuries," Brown said. One of those victims is said to have "life-threatening injuries. The sheriff reported nine different crime scenes.

The KEYT report said "witnesses described seeing a black BMW speeding through the streets (in Isla Vista, near UCSB), spraying bullets at people and various targets." The suspected gunman traded fire with sheriff's deputies, and the vehicle plowed into a parked car, the report said.

The suspected gunman (not yet identified) was found in the BMW with a shot to the head, the affiliate said. It wasn't clear whether the death was self-inflicted or whether deputies killed the suspected gunman. A handgun was recovered.

The violence occurred over a 10-minute period, from the first emergency call at 9:27 p.m. to the suspect's discovery, the KEYT report said.
