Police Say Car Thieves Targeting Vehicles With Keyless Entry

LOS ANGELES — Police are warning car owners about a new trend: thieves targeting vehicles with keyless entry.
Police say criminals can use key fobs to disarm cars with the convenient entry option. Now they’re recommending car owners use The Club, which locks onto the steering wheel, reports CBS2/KCAL9’s Andrea Fujii.
Oakley Stevenson says her Scion was stolen from a Hollywood Hills neighborhood in the early morning hours last week, apparently using the technology.
Security video shows a hatchback drive up to a blue Scion. A woman gets out, the car’s rear lights go on and then it drives away with the hatchback following it.
“It is very unnerving,” Stevenson said. “I felt very violated at first because I had a lot of personal information inside.”
She says her Scion was filled with hundreds of dollars worth of work gear. Until it’s found, she’s passing out fliers in the Hollywood Hills, hoping the crooks are found.
Until then, she’s heeding the warning.
“I’m back to using The Club again …. It might be a little old, but I feel so much safer with it,” she said.

CHAIRMAN INTERROGATES BOARD OF DIRECTORS
All the members of the company's Board of Directors were called into the Chairman's office, one after another, until only Ted, the junior member, was left sitting outside.
Finally it was his turn to be summoned. Ted entered the office to find the Chairman and the other four Directors seated at the far end of the boardroom table. Ted was instructed to stand at the other end of the table, which he did.
The Chairman looked Ted squarely in the eye, and with a stern voice, he asked,
"Have you ever had sex with my secretary, Miss Foyt?"
"Oh, no, sir, positively not!" Ted replied.
"Are you absolutely sure?" asked the chairman.
"Honest, I've never been close enough to even touch her!"
"You'd swear to that?"
"Yes, I swear I've never had sex with Miss Foyt, anytime, anywhere,"
insisted Ted.
"Good. Then you fire her."

EXCEPTIONALLY QUALIFIED FOR FIRST EXECUTION SINCE NEBRASKA REINSTATED CAPITAL PUNISHNENT
'Psychopath' who carved 666 backwards into his forehead and sliced his tongue and penis to look like snakes is sentenced to death for killing four people in shooting spree just 11 days after he was freed from prison

A man who carved 666 backwards into his own forehead has been sentenced to death for murdering four people in a brutal Nebraska shooting spree.
Nikko Jenkins, 30, showed no emotion as he was handed the death penalty sentence on Tuesday over the August 2013 shooting deaths in Omaha.
Jenkins, who was described by one prison psychiatrist as a 'psychopath', has made a habit of tattooing his face with hieroglyphics and self-mutilating his body while in prison to worship the Egyptian serpent god.
Jenkins once sliced through his tongue to make it look like a snake before smearing the blood over his cell walls and also sliced his penis, which required 27 stitches.
He also carved '666' into his forehead in 2015 but used a mirror so the numbers came out backwards.
Jenkins pleaded no contest to the murder charges in 2014 but his sentencing has been delayed because of concerns about his mental state.
His defense psychiatrist said Jenkins suffers from schizophrenia and perhaps a bipolar disorder, while his lawyers tried to argue his self mutilation was proof of a deteriorating mental state.
State psychiatrists have repeatedly testified that he is faking psychosis.
Jenkins went on a killing spree just 11 days after he was released from prison in August 2013 where he had been serving a 10 year sentence for two carjackings.
He shot and killed Juan Uribe-Pena and Jorge Cajiga-Ruizon using a sawed-off 12-gauge shotgun. Their bodies were found inside a pickup truck in southeast Omaha.
Eight days later, Jenkins and his sister killed Curtis Bradford, a one-time prison acquaintance.
Jenkins pulled Andrea Kruger from her SUV as she drove home from work on August 21 and shot her four times before speeding off in her vehicle.
Jenkins had insisted an Egyptian god ordered him in a foreign language to kill the four as human sacrifices.
Jenkins was ultimately found competent to stand trial and allowed to represent himself for much of it. He was then allowed in 2014 to plead no contest to the murder charges.
He is now the first to be given the death sentence in Nebraska since the state's voters reinstated the punishment last year.
The last execution in Nebraska was carried out in 1997, when Robert Williams died in the state's now-defunct electric chair for killing two women in 1977.
The judicial panel had the option of sentencing Jenkins on Tuesday to death or life in prison.
The judges cited the heinous nature of the killings in their decision and said they believed state psychiatrists who testified that while Jenkins does have narcissistic and anti-social personality disorders, he knew right from wrong when he committed the crimes.
The mother of one of Jenkins' victims cried quietly as she left the courtroom on Tuesday following the sentencing.
Velita Glasgow, the mother of Curtis Bradford, said Tuesday's sentence brought much-needed closure for her.
'It's time for me to heal,' she said. 'I'm ready to put this behind me.'

THAT WILL TEACH HIM TO SPIT ON THE SIDEWALK
Police use DNA from spit on sidewalk to tie man to 2011 Los Angeles murders of two women
Fox News
May 31, 2017
Los Angeles police on Tuesday said they used spit collected from a sidewalk to tie a man to the sexual assault and murder of two women who vanished in 2011.
Investigators used a controversial DNA testing technique known as familial DNA testing to link the suspect, Geovanni Borjas, 32, to the murders of Michelle Lozano, 17, and Bree’Anna Guzman, 22, Charlie Beck , the Los Angeles Police chief, said.
Familial DNA testing allowed investigators to compare forensic evidence from the victims to law enforcement databases to identify likely relatives of the person who may have committed the crime. The search resulted in a match to Borjas’ father, whose DNA was on file from a prior arrest, Beck said.
Detectives began to follow Borjas and collected his DNA after he spit on a sidewalk, Beck said. The sample matched the DNA that was collected from the crime scenes and Borjas was arrested Thursday.
Borjas was charged with two counts of murder, two counts of rape and one count of kidnapping. Investigators are still trying to determine if Borjas knew the two victims, but he hasn't cooperated with detectives, Beck said.
Lozano was found dead in April 2011 after she disappeared from the Lincoln Heights neighborhood. Her body was found wrapped in plastic bags and stuffed inside a container that was dumped in the brush along Interstate 5, police said. An autopsy found she had been strangled.
Guzman disappeared a day after Christmas in 2011 from the Boyle Heights neighborhood. She had told her family she was going to buy cough drops, but never returned. She was found along a ramp leading to State Route 2.
"He's in jail and he's never going to leave," Guzman's father, Richard Duran, said in Spanish. "That gives me a lot of happiness. I have closure now."
The DNA technique has only been used a handful of times in Los Angeles. Most notably, it was used to arrest the Grim Sleeper, Lonnie Franklin, Jr., in his serial killings that spanned from 1985 to 2007. Officials also used it this year to solve the decades-old killing of the ex-wife of Righteous Brothers singer Bill Medley.

‘FUCK THEM - I CALLED ICE’
Texas Lawmakers Tussle After Republican Calls ICE on Illegal SB 4 Protesters at State Capitol
By Meagan Flynn
Houston Press
May 30, 2017
It all started with a mariachi band and megaphones outside the governor's mansion at 3 a.m. Monday.
The protests against SB 4, the anti-sanctuary-cities law that immigrant-rights advocates call racist, would continue for the next 12 or so hours in Austin, as hundreds of protesters swarmed the capitol grounds and galleries. The otherwise ceremonial and celebratory final day of the legislative session turned into a vehicle for loud dissent.
And apparently, Representative Matt Rinaldi (R-Dallas) just couldn't handle the noise.
Rinaldi admitted to calling U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement on the protesters because he saw some people holding signs that said, "I am illegal and here to stay." Democrats reported that he said, "Fuck them — I called ICE," prompting a scuffle on the House floor that looked like a mosh pit of red-faced people yelling in different directions. But mostly at Rinaldi.
"We saw mothers and fathers, military veterans, American citizens and non-citizens alike in the crowd," Representative Rafael Anchia (D-Dallas) said at a news conference. "So for us, this looks like the fabric of Texas. This looks like Texans exercising their First Amendment rights against a law they perceive to be hateful and unjust. That is a cornerstone of our democracy. To others, I guess it appeared like a group of undocumented persons in the gallery somehow doing something unlawful who needed to be deported."
The scuffle on the House floor broke out while House leaders were thanking clerks and assistants for all their hard work this session. Meanwhile, Rinaldi said in a statement that Democrats physically threatened him and that he is now under Department of Public Safety protection.
"Today, Representative Poncho Nevarez threatened my life on the House floor after I called ICE on several illegal immigrants who held signs in the gallery which said 'I am illegal and here to stay.' Several Democrats encouraged the protestors to disobey law enforcement. When I told the Democrats I called ICE, Representative Ramon Romero physically assaulted me, and other Democrats were held back by colleagues. During that time Poncho told me that he would 'get me on the way to my car.' He later approached me and reiterated that 'I had to leave at some point, and he would get me.' I made it clear that if he attempted to, in his words, 'get me,' I would shoot him in self defense. I am currently under DPS protection. Several of my colleagues heard the threats made and witnessed Ramon assaulting me."
If Rinaldi thought that spooking the protesters would cause them to flee, he apparently thought wrong. Throngs of people remained in the rotunda even after the final gavel.
The ACLU of Texas, which recently joined a lawsuit against the state over SB 4, called on Rinaldi to issue a public apology for calling ICE.
"His hateful rhetoric about peaceful protesters exercising their constitutional rights goes against everything we stand for as Texans," said Astrid Dominguez, immigration policy strategist of the ACLU of Texas. "Representative Rinaldi's actions prove that anti-immigrant legislation like SB4 is motivated by animus and has already led to discrimination and racial profiling. Every Texas legislator should denounce this behavior and make clear Texas is not a state of hate."
EDITOR’S NOTE: Good for Rinaldi for calling ICE to round up the illegals who were flouting their illegality by holding up signs that said, "I am illegal and here to stay." I too say, fuck them!

SHAME, SHAME ON THOSE WHO REMOVE OUR HISTORY!
Federal laws hold that soldiers who fought for the Confederate States of America during the Civil War are American heroes
By Howie Katz
Big Jolly Politics
May 31, 2017
During this Memorial Day period I thought it would be appropriate to mention a couple of laws that have been enacted by Congress.
Public Law 85-425 was enacted May 23, 1958. This law recognizes all members of the armed forces of the Confederate States of America the same as veterans of the Union during the Civil War. The act also provided pensions to the widows of veterans who served in the army and navy of the Confederacy.
Public Law 85-811 was enacted August 28, 1958. This law directed the Secretary of the Army to furnish Government headstones or markers at the expense of the U.S. for the unmarked graves of “soldiers of the Union and Confederate Armies of the Civil War.”
These two laws hold that soldiers who fought for the Confederate States of America during the Civil War are American heroes, the same as those who fought for the Union.
Accordingly, shame, shame on those who are removing the statues of Confederate war heroes or renaming schools and parks bearing their names just because those heroes might offend a few African Americans.
And to think that the Houston school board is spending 1.2 million taxpayer dollars to change the names of seven schools bearing the names of Confederate heroes who, with the possible exception of Robert E. Lee and “Stonewall” Jackson, 99 percent of blacks never heard of.
The law recognizes Confederate soldiers as American heroes and they deserve to be treated as such!

CHICAGO POLICE SUPERINTENDENT SAYS MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND SHOOTINGS GOOD NEWS
52 shot in Chicago over Memorial Day weekend, nearly half on final day, but total is less than last year
By Peter Nickeas and Elvia Malagon
Chicago Tribune
May 30, 2017
Shootings over the Memorial Day weekend left seven people dead and another 45 wounded in Chicago, a drop from last year, though almost half of this year's victims were shot the last night of the weekend.
The violence this weekend was similar to three of the last five Memorial Day weekends: 53 gunshot victims in 2012, and 58 in 2015. A total of 34 people were shot in 2014, and 21 were shot in 2013.
Last year's total was 71 and was the worst since at least 2012. It came during a year that saw almost 800 homicides and more than 4,000 people shot.
A police district that bore the brunt of the violence last year, Harrison on the West Side, reported no one shot this year.
The most violent day of the weekend this year was Memorial Day, with 24 people shot, five of them fatally, including a 20-year-old disabled man at a park he visited every day.
Before Monday, only 28 people had been shot over the previous three nights, a low total for any weekend in Chicago.
This year, 1,300 extra officers were deployed during the weekend on top of normal staffing levels, according to police Superintendent Eddie Johnson. Last year, there were about 880 extra officers working, he said.
The officers worked in areas where much of the city violence occurs. The Chicago Police Department parked a mobile command center on one of the city's most widely known open-air heroin markets, at Roosevelt Road and Independence Boulevard, for the first two nights of the weekend.
The RV-size command van moved to an area near 63rd Street and King Drive after the second night. Nineteen of the 28 people shot the first three nights were wounded on the South Side, while the West Side saw just five shootings with a total of eight victims the first three nights.
One person over that period was wounded in a Northwest Side shooting, at Addison Street and Keeler Avenue.
The Cook County sheriff's office parked its mobile command center on a block widely known as one of the city's busiest marijuana spots -- Madison Street and Leamington Avenue -- where there have been close to a dozen shootings over the last 18 months.
It was common to see officers three or four to a car, or officers riding around in rented vans. Evidence techs also were moved into rental cars before the weekend. Many officers' days off were canceled and hours extended.
As the weekend drew to a close Tuesday morning, someone in a passing car fired toward a group standing outside Mount Sinai Hospital, police said.
An evidence tech at the hospital alerted his dispatcher that a car was shooting as nearby officers called out the sound of gunfire near the hospital.
Police at the scene said no one was hit by the gunfire.
Six of the 24 people shot between Monday and Tuesday mornings had been taken to the West Side trauma center for treatment. No one had been taken into custody for those shootings.
