WFAN's Craig Carton Charged in Ticket Ponzi Scheme to Pay Debts

Source: CNN

In the world of New York sports radio, Craig Carton is known as the quick-witted, unpredictable, top-rated co-host of a morning drive-time show that moves quickly from football to family life to sports betting. Federal prosecutors say he’s also a Ponzi schemer.

Carton was arrested Wednesday and charged with ripping off investors of millions of dollars in an alleged scam that involved buying and and selling tickets to concerts by Adele, Katy Perry, Justin Bieber and Barbra Streisand. U.S. regulators said he used the money to pay off gambling debts.

The arrest is the latest in a widening probe of alleged fraud in the ticket-resale industry. Carton, who has hosted the WFAN radio show with former NFL quarterback Boomer Esiason since 2007, is the biggest name implicated to date. Esiason isn’t accused of wrongdoing.

Dreamer Died Saving Harvey Victims. Body Found as Trump Announces End of DACA

Source: HuffPo

Alonso Guillen came to the U.S. from Mexico as a child. He died here, too: On Wednesday, he disappeared when his boat capsized while he was rescuing survivors of the flooding caused by Hurricane Harvey in the Houston area.

Family members recovered his body on Sunday from a creek in Spring, Texas, according to The Houston Chronicle ― just hours before reports emerged that President Donald Trump will end the program that shielded Guillen and others like him ― so-called Dreamers ― from deportation.

Source: The HILL

The Georgia police officer who was captured on video comforting a woman he pulled over by telling her we only kill black people will be fired, according to the department's police chief.

Cobb County Police Chief Mike Register said Thursday, Theres really no place for these types of comments in law enforcement," adding that the officer in question, Lt. Greg Abbott, would be terminated, according to the New York Post.

The footage, which was originally shot last year at a traffic stop, was leaked earlier this week and received widespread backlash.

Video: Utah Cop Mugs Nurse Blocking Cop Stealing Blood

A patient is unconscious, after an accident; and a Utah Policeman wants to draw blood. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled no blood can be drawn without warrant or consent.

Cops video cam recorded discussion of fabricating warrant.

When the nurse abused by the law, the cop three her against the wall, accused her if obstruction if justice; and he handcuffed her.

Here's WaPo story

The head nurse at the University of Utah Hospital’s burn unit was arrested July 26 after she told a Salt Lake City police detective he wasn’t allowed to draw blood from a patient.

Eric Trump: Father tunes out Critics to Avoid Committing Suicide

Source: Independent Reporter

On Tuesday, President Trump’s son, Eric Trump, was a guest on The Joe Pags Show, where he talked about the upcoming birth of his child, politics in America and his father’s presidency. Most notably though, Eric spoke about what he feels is evil and hatred aimed at his father, and the ability of this hatred to potentially lead to one killing one’s self.

At first, the younger Trump simply talked about how he feels as though the mainstream media has it out for his father, and no matter what the elder Trump does, the media will criticize him for it.

Houston Officer Drowns

Source: The HILL

A Houston police officer drowned on his way to work Sunday, The Houston Chronicle reported on Tuesday.

"He was trying different routes, and took a wrong turn," one official told the newspaper.

The officer's family has yet to be officially notified, as crews work to recover his body.

The officer, a 30-year veteran of the city's police department, unsuccessfully tried to exit his vehicle after becoming caught in the floodwaters.

Shaun King documents NYPD Brutal Assault & Corruption

Picture yourself being a clean cut teen who never has had any run in, with the law - whatsoever. All of a sudden, the NYPD pulls up, orders you to get into a car, so they can arrest you. Using known - bogus testimony based upon false (coerced) witness by a guy who falsely testified against 24 others - you are accused of attempted murder.

Whilst you are incarcerated, falsely, they brutally beat you up; and, when you refused plea deals, they let the real shooter, with 7 eye witnesses, to be ' Scot Free', whilst they arrest your mom (for tuning a yellow light).

That is what happened to Pedro Hernandez.

Believe it or not, the video of the beating is concealed, for months, until leaked.

Meanwhile, the 42nd Precinct is on a mission to put you in jail - for life.

Activist / journalist @ShaunKing brought this horrendous case of extreme manifest injustice, to my attention.

Like our eToys case, I'm taking the very rare stance of adopting this saga, until justice comes.

Shaun King has this tiger by the tail; and he has titled his series as

SOUL SNATCHERS:

I'm bring you part 3, as it contains many videos of testimony of others, who were threatened with being beaten up, unless they testify falsely, against Pedro Hernandez (who refuses to leave his bedroom, out of fear they will fabricate another case, against him).

Here's video of Pedro being beaten, to force confession





Not only is the NYPD 42nd Precinct, corrupt, the local prosecutor also threatened the Hernadez's.

Here's video of William Stevens testimonial to local News, about the fact he was coerced to falsely testify against 2 dozen people.
