Retired St. Louis Police Captain David Dorn was murdered in early June outside of Lee’s Pawn and Jewelry in North St. Louis City.
The looters then broke in the store and looted it as dozens of cars drove by on Martin Luther King, Jr. Drive.

David Dorn was 77-years-old when he was gunned down by looters.
He lay outside the store bleeding as his death was captured on Facebook Live..
On Monday night Ann Dorn, wife of slain police chief David Dorn, spoke with Greg Kelly on Newsmax TV.
During her comments Sgt. Ann Dorn, who still works for the St. Louis
Police Department, took a swipe at Rep. Maxine Waters for her violent
and threatening comments in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota on Saturday night
where she also broke the law by breaking curfew.
Greg Kelly: We’ll have a verdict perhaps this week
and it’s widely expected, anticipated, some people are hoping for it,
that we’re going to have widespread riots all over again. And it seems
to me, Mrs. Dorn, that there is very little being done to stop it.
Ann Dorn: Exactly, it’s being encouraged by some
politicians which is just beyond me that they would encourage people to
protest and act out violently. THere’s no recourse for violence. You
can’t get anything accomplished with violence.
The Minnesota National Guard was fired at in a drive-by shooting in
north Minneapolis early Sunday morning — just hours after Rep. Maxine
Waters told the Black Lives Matter extremists to be “more
confrontational.”
Local news station WCCO reported that the Minnesota National Guard
said its members, along with Minneapolis police officers, were
“providing neighborhood security” near Penn and Broadway avenues when
someone fired shots from a white SUV.
The shooting took place shortly after 4 a.m, shots were fired at the
National Guard and law enforcement in north Minneapolis near W Broadway
and Penn Ave N.
Two National Guard members sustained injuries.
Police later reported that a light-colored SUV had fired on police officers and National Guard members early on Sunday morning.
It was a black male driver.
UPDATE: On Monday night the Department of Justice announced they had captured the person who fired the national guard.
(I do not owe them a thing. I fought for everything I have. I have worked three jobs sometimes. I have NEVER collected from the gov or had food stamps. Have YOU lady? Anyone in your family have the "cradle to grave" welfare help? NO ONE in my family has sat there with their hand out DEMANDING things because you are too damn LAZY to work for it YOURSELF.
We didn't own any damn slaves and you weren't a slave so shut the hell up bit_ch ! )
And what happens when the BLACK businesses get looted and burned down?
BLM activist calls for more looting because America owes black people [VIDEO]
A
BLM activist named Kim Brown, whose podcast is on Youtube, calls for
more looting because America owes black people or something:
BLM Activist: “I support the looting of Dollar
tree. I support the looting of Advanced auto parts. I support all that
shit… Because blk people could loot every store in this fuckin’ country
for 200 years and it would not even come close to what America owes us.”
pic.twitter.com/ZoyFwnrMlx
Calling for more looting and violence is exactly who these people are
and exactly who the media continually claims they aren’t, despite
obvious evidence like this.
This is insanity. Where is YouTube on this to condemn the inciting rhetoric?
Kim Brown isn’t the first. Remember this girl from last year making the same arguments?
They think looting equals getting reparations or something. It’s
absurd, but there are plenty of people who believe this nowadays thanks
to the stranglehold the left has on our education system.
So how long before this blows up into a full blown race war, because
that’s where this feels like it’s headed. So much of this anger is
absolutely misplaced, being created through phony victimization based on
so many lies and deceit, much of it having to do with election
politics. Like Michael Brown. Like Breonna Taylor. And so many others.
The lies keep coming and people keep getting riled up and eventually
this is going to boil over in some of these cities. I don’t know when.
It could be months or it could be years away. But the racial atmosphere
in this country is just downright toxic at times and it doesn’t seem to
be getting any better.
‘Human challenge’ trial could help develop new treatments and vaccines against coronavirus disease

University of Oxford plan to reinfect healthy, young adult volunteers
with the coronavirus disease as part of a new study.

Healthy, young volunteers who have previously had COVID-19
will be deliberately exposed to coronavirus for a second time to see how
the immune system responds, as part of a new U.K. study.
Researchers at the University of Oxford on Monday launched the “human challenge” trial
to investigate what happens when volunteers who have recovered from the
coronavirus disease are then reinfected with the virus a second time.
The study, which is funded by the Wellcome Trust, is expected
to start in the next few weeks after receiving ethics approval, and
could help accelerate the development of new treatments and vaccines
against the disease.
Human challenge studies have played a
crucial role in the development of treatments for a number of diseases,
including malaria, typhoid, cholera and flu.
“A
challenge study allows us to make these measurements very precisely
because we know exactly when someone is infected,” said Helen McShane,
professor of vaccinology at the department of pediatrics at
the University of Oxford and chief investigator on the study.
“The information from this work will allow
us to design better vaccines and treatments, and also to understand if
people are protected after having COVID, and for how long,” McShane
said.
The
first stage of the trial will involve up to 64 volunteers aged 18-30
who have previously been naturally infected with COVID-19. It will look
to establish the lowest dose of virus that can take hold and start
replicating in about 50% of participants, while producing few to no
symptoms.
Volunteers will be monitored in a safe, controlled
environment while quarantined in a specially designed hospital suite for
a minimum of 17 days. Anyone who develops coronavirus symptoms will be
given Regeneron
REGN,
-0.28%
monoclonal antibody treatment.
Once
the standard dose is established, it will be used to infect different
volunteers in the second stage of the trial, which is due to start in
the summer. The full length of the study will be 12 months, including a
minimum of eight follow-up appointments after volunteers have been
discharged.
The
new study is different to a parallel one led by Imperial College
London, which was announced in February, and will expose up to 90
carefully selected healthy adult volunteers to coronavirus to help
researchers understand how the virus infects people and how it is
transmitted.
It comes as almost 10 million people in the U.K. have now received their second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, according to the latest government figures.
Three vaccines are currently in use in the U.K.: the one jointly developed by German biotech BioNTech
BNTX,
-1.58%
and U.S. drug company Pfizer
PFE,
0.66%
; the one produced by drug company AstraZeneca with the University of Oxford; and the shot from biotech Moderna
MRNA,
-5.61%.
Last week, Moderna said it would deliver fewer than expected COVID-19 vaccines to the U.K., Canada and other countries, following a shortfall in production in its European supply chain.
Breonna Taylor’s mom lashed out at Black Lives Matter (BLM) this week
amid reports the co-founder, Patrisse Cullors is living high on the hog
in million dollar homes.
Last year Breonna Taylor was killed during a knock-and-announce drug
raid, during which her boyfriend shot at police and they returned fire.
LMPD Sgt. Jon Mattingly was shot during the exchange and has now
recovered.
Last September Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron announced
that there will be no charges filed against two of the Louisville police
officers involved in the shooting of Breonna Taylor, while the third
was charged with “wanton endangerment.”
Wanton endangerment is a Class D felony, punishable by one to five years in prison.
Breonna Taylor’s mom went off on BLM and said the organization has not helped her family at all.
“I have never personally dealt with BLM Louisville and personally
have found them to be fraud, Attica Scott another fraud,” Breonna’s mom
Tamika Palmer said in a Facebook post.
“I could walk in a room full of people who claim to be here for
Breonna’s family who don’t even know who I am, I’ve watched y’all raise
money on behalf of Breonna’s family who has never done a damn thing for
us nor have we needed it or asked so Talk about fraud.”
She concluded with: “I’m a say this before I go I’m so sick of some
of y’all and I was last anybody who needs it I’m with this shit enough
is enough!!”
Covid-19 booster shot likely needed within 12 months, Pfizer's CEO says
Denise Chow
·2 min read
People
are likely to need a third dose of a Covid-19 vaccine within a year of
getting fully vaccinated and may subsequently need annual shots to
protect against the coronavirus, Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla said Thursday.
Pfizer
and its German partner, BioNTech, are studying how long the vaccines'
protective immunity will last. Their findings will guide whether
additional booster shots will be necessary.
Bourla said it's "likely" that a booster will be needed within 12 months of the initial two-shot regimen.
"It is extremely important to suppress the pool of people that can be susceptible to the virus," Bourla told CNBC on Thursday during an event with CVS Health.
Pfizer and BioNTech said this month that data from clinical trials suggest that their vaccine offers high levels of protection
six months after the second dose, with no serious safety concerns. The
vaccine was also found to be effective against several known coronavirus
variants, including one that was first reported in the U.K. and another
that was thought to have emerged in South Africa.
"What we're trying to do at Moderna,
actually, is to get a flu vaccine in the clinic this year and then
combine a flu vaccine to a Covid vaccine so that you only have to get
one boost at your local CVS store, at your GP every year, that will
protect you to a variant of concern against Covid and a seasonal flu
strain," Bancel said.
Patrisse Cullors, the co-founder of Black Lives Matter proudly admitted in June 2020 she is a radical, anti-white Marxist.
“We actually do have an ideological frame,” Cullors said. “Myself and
Alicia are particularly trained organizers — we are trained Marxists.
We are super versed on ideological theories…”
Black Lives Matter is seeking to transform America by defunding the
police, dismantling capitalism, ‘destroying the patriarchy,’ breaking
down the nuclear family unit, emptying prisons, redistributing wealth in
the form of reparations among other far-left objectives.
Black Lives Matter and Antifa rioters have destroyed small businesses, targeted churches and razed buildings to the ground.
Their goal is to bring chaos where there is order, fan the flames of class warfare and demonize Christians and conservatives.
Black Lives Matter-Antifa mobs caused over one billion dollars in damages in cities across America since May. In Minneapolis alone Black Lives Matter mobs damaged or destroyed over 1,500 businesses or buildings.
A secluded mini-compound tucked into L.A.’s rustic and semi-remote
Topanga Canyon was recently sold for a tad more than $1.4 million to a
corporate entity that public records show is controlled by Patrisse
Khan-Cullors, 37-year-old social justice visionary and co-founder of the
galvanizing and, for some, controversial Black Lives Matter movement.
Kahn-Cullors, a UCLA and USC graduate married about five
years ago to social activist (and amateur boxer) Janaya Khan, co-founder
of Black Lives Matter Toronto, created the #BlackLivesMatter hashtag in
2013 in response to George Zimmerman’s acquittal in the 2012 shooting
of Trayvon Martin. Since then, the largely decentralized movement has
been at the influential forefront on issues of police brutality and
racially motivated violence against Black people, particularly in
the wake of George Floyd’s killing last summer that sparked massive
protests across the United States and around the globe. Kahn-Cullors’ published “When They Call You a Terrorist: A Black Lives Matter Memoir” in 2018.
A 70-year-old woman was left with a concussion, severely battered
face and other injuries after being assaulted by a fellow passenger on a
Metro bus in Eagle Rock last week, her son told The Eastsider.
The Mexican American victim was profiled as Asian by her
attacker, who hurled a racial epithet used against people of Chinese
descent before attacking the grandmother as she got off the bus to go
grocery shopping, according to the son, who gave his name only as Pete.
Los Angeles police say they are still gathering information on the
incident. But a department spokesperson confirmed 23-year-old Yasmine
Beasley was arrested following the incident at about 1:30 p.m. Friday at
the corner of Figueroa Street and La Loma Road.
The
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has found about 5,800 cases
of COVID-19 infections among people who have been fully vaccinated in
the U.S., according to a new report.
CDC officials tell Yahoo
Life that as of April 13, about 5,800 breakthrough COVID-19 infections —
meaning someone who was fully vaccinated against the virus still
contracts COVID-19 — have been reported to the CDC among the more than
66 million Americans who have been fully vaccinated. Of those, 396 (or 7
percent) required hospitalization and 74 people (0.0001 percent) died.
Overall,
it amounts to a rate of 0.008 percent of Americans who have been fully
vaccinated against COVID-19 that have gotten the infection.

“COVID-19
vaccines are effective and are a critical tool to bring the pandemic
under control. All of the available vaccines have been proven effective
at preventing severe illness, hospitalizations and deaths,” CDC
spokesperson Kristen Nordlund tells Yahoo Life in a statement. “However,
like is seen with other vaccines, we expect thousands of vaccine
breakthrough cases will occur even though the vaccine is working as
expected.”
Nordlund adds, “To date, no unexpected patterns have been identified in case demographics or vaccine characteristics.”
Breakthrough
infections were reported in people of all ages eligible for
vaccination, but a little over 40 percent of the infections were in
people age 60 and up. Other important information to note:
29 percent of the vaccine breakthrough infections were reported as asymptomatic.
65 percent of the people experiencing a breakthrough infection were female.
“The
male-female differences that we’re observing ... no one has a good idea
as to why it’s occurring,” Dr. Stanley H. Weiss, professor at Rutgers
New Jersey Medical School and the Department of Biostatistics and
Epidemiology at Rutgers School of Public Health, tells Yahoo Life. “We
do know that men and women’s immune systems do tend to react
differently.” Weiss says it could simply be “by chance” or may be that
women are more likely to seek medical care when they have a breakthrough
infection. “Were fewer men detected because of that or something
biological? We don’t know the answer to that,” he says.
The CDC is
monitoring the breakthrough infections and collecting data on them. The
agency has also developed a national COVID-19 vaccine breakthrough
database where state health department investigators can enter, store
and manage data for cases in their jurisdiction.
News of any
COVID-19 infections after a person has been fully vaccinated against the
coronavirus can be frustrating and even scary, but doctors say it’s to
be expected.
“No one expected the vaccine to be 100 percent
efficacious,” infectious disease expert Dr. Amesh Adalja, senior scholar
at the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, tells Yahoo Life.
“Breakthrough cases are still extremely rare and often without any major
consequence.”
The efficacy rate of each COVID-19 vaccine authorized for use in the U.S. varies. The Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine is 95 percent effective at preventing symptomatic COVID-19 infections, the Moderna vaccine is 94.1 percent effective,
and the Johnson & Johnson vaccine — the administration of which is
currently on “pause” due to blood clotting concerns — is 66.3 percent effective.
“These
vaccines are 95 percent effective at best,” Dr. William Schaffner, an
infectious disease specialist and professor at Vanderbilt University
School of Medicine, tells Yahoo Life. “These are wonderfully effective
vaccines, but nothing in life is perfect — except maybe my wife.”
Dr.
Thomas Russo, professor and chief of infectious disease at the
University at Buffalo in New York, tells Yahoo Life that the findings
are “not surprising” and points out that there is a difference between
clinical trials and the real-world use of the vaccine. “Clinical trials
excluded people who are immunocompromised, and those patients have
immune systems that don’t function as well as people in the general
population,” he says. As a result, the vaccine is often not as effective
in them, Russo says.
Schaffner agrees. “We’re now vaccinating
very, very frail people and people who are immunocompromised — you’re
more likely to have breakthrough cases because their protection won’t be
as complete as a normal healthy person’s protection is,” he says.
Worth noting: The CDC did not disclose details about the health of the people who had breakthrough infections.
But
Russo says the news underscores the importance of continuing to follow
COVID-19 prevention recommendations, regardless of your vaccination
status. He stresses, though, that it doesn’t mean these protocols will
be in place forever. “Masks and social distancing are still important in
the community until more people are vaccinated,” he says. “Once we can
get these cases down, we’re going to be able to step away from public
health measures.”
Adalja says it’s smart for public health
officials to track these breakthrough infections to try to get more
answers. “It’s important to study the breakthrough cases to understand
if the vaccine took in those individuals to better characterize this
very low risk,” he says.
Ultimately, doctors urge people to stay
calm and focus on the bigger picture. That is, the vaccine is highly
effective at preventing COVID-19 infections in those who have been fully
vaccinated. Breakthrough infections “didn’t happen in 99.93 percent of
cases,” Adalja says.
“Don’t panic,” Schaffner says. “Everybody,
please take a deep breath. Vaccines profoundly reduce your risk of
getting an infection, but it’s not zero.”
12 Fully-Vaccinated Los Angeles Residents Infected With Covid-19, Says County Health Official
Tom Tapp
·2 min read
On Wednesday, in response to a query from Deadline, Los Angeles County Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer confirmed that at least a dozen local residents had been infected with Covid-19 after being fully vaccinated.
“Yes,
it is possible to test positive for the virus after being fully
vaccinated,” Ferrer reported. She estimated that the number of
post-vaccination infections is likely “very small.”
Ferrer
said all of the so-called “breakthrough cases” of infection detected in
the county occurred in long-term care facilities. In all, there were 12
fully-vaccinated people who were infected. Four of them were residents
of those facilities, and eight were staff.
“I’m sure there are
other places [in L.A. County] because I know across the country that
there have been more [breakthrough] cases,” Ferrer said before noting
the detected cases in long-term care facilities weren’t likely because
of any lack of precaution but rather because the data from those
environments is better.
“This is one place where we have really good data in part because of our strong partnership with long-term care facilities.”
Ferrer
also added, “The vast majority of people who have tested positive after
being fully vaccinated are asymptomatic or have very mild symptoms.
“Here in L.A. County we don’t know of anybody who has been hospitalized or — unfortunately — passed away.”
But,
as for other local breakthrough cases of Covid-19 infection, the data
is very incomplete, she said making an overall assessment “a hard
question to answer.”
Earlier on Wednesday, 39 breakthrough cases were reported in Sonoma County over the course of the past 2 1/2 months, according to county officials.

Woman who fired into Burger King drive-thru window over wait time arrested: report
The suspect is facing charges of attempted first-degree murder
Sometimes, it’s better to just wait in line.
Police in Tennessee arrested a woman they believe was responsible for a violent incident at a Burger Kingdrive-thru
last month. According to reports, the woman is believed to be the same
person who allegedly fired a gun through the drive-thru window because
the wait was too long.
Police have arrested Keona Jackson after identifying her as the woman who fired the gun into the Memphis restaurant, Fox 13
reports. She has reportedly been charged with two counts of
first-degree murder and one count of employment of a firearm over
commission of a felony. According to the Shelby County jail’s website, Jackson was taken into custody on Monday.
The alleged crime occurred at a BK on Winchester Road on March 30, and the Memphis Police Department discussed details on Facebook soon after.
Witnesses
reportedly said that the woman, who had yet to be identified at the
time, was upset at how long she the wait at the drive-thru was. She
allegedly exited her vehicle and approached the window, where she began
arguing with one of the workers.
The
suspect then reportedly returned to her vehicle (which someone else was
driving) and retrieved a handgun. Authorities say she returned to the
drive-thru window, leaned inside the restaurant and fired the gun
several times.
The
woman then returned to the car, which fled the scene. Authorities said
that the Burger King workers escaped the restaurant through a rear door
and were unharmed.
Yesterday, the Windsor, VA Police
Department was notified that they were being sued by Army Second
Lieutenant Caron Nazario for a December traffic stop that turned ugly.
As reported by 100 Percent Fed Up –
In the recorded traffic stop, Army Second Lieutenant Caron Nazario, who
is Black and Latino can be seen in uniform as a Latino police officer
attempts to convince Nazario to get out of his vehicle. The police
officer, who appears to be frustrated after driving a mile behind
Nazario’s vehicle with their lights flashing, is then confronted with a
belligerent driver who refuses to exit his vehicle.
Instead of complying with the request of the Latino police officer, a
defiant Nazario tells him, “I’ve not committed any crime.” The two
Windsor police officers can be seen drawing their guns and ordering him
to get out. “I’m honestly afraid to get out,” Nazario tells them. One
of the police officers replied, “Yeah dude, you should be.”
Instead of complying, Nazario chooses instead, to repeatedly push the
limits of the police officers. The Windsor Police officer uses pepper
spray to subdue the subject. They handcuff him and then search his
vehicle, a Nazario asks, “Why am I being treated like this—Why? This is
really messed up! You know this is f**ed up!” The police offer explains,
“Because you’re not cooperating.”
The video has now gone viral on social media, as the typical BLM
radicals make the traffic stop into a racial crisis. Qasim Rashid, a
popular far-left agitator on Twitter tweeted a video of the incident,
calling it “Horrific police violence.”
What the BLM activists and our dishonest media is not telling
everyone is that Nazario refused to stop for over ONE MILE, that he had
no visible tag on his license plate, that he was NON-COMPLIANT when he
did stop and that he had a GUN in plain view!
News Max host Greg Kelly, called Nazario a “bad lieutenant” and
revealed that he had a loaded gun by his leg on the floor of the vehicle
in the front seat. Of course, the media and the BLM hysteria messengers
forgot to mention that part!
ewsmax host Greg Kelly tweeted about strict policies that most Army
bases have about storing weapons, asking which base he was coming from
and if he had been in compliance or non-compliance with the Army bases
rules, as he carried a gun on the floor of his vehicle.
