Colleges are scary these days mentally and physically

[The White Civil Advocacy Project @WCAProject]

In the early morning hours of September 12th, a horrific anti-White attack took place in York, Pennsylvania, near York College. What some media outlets have mislabeled as a “brawl” or “fight” was in fact an attempted lynch mob that left multiple female White college students brutalized, all captured on a disturbing video. An enormous group of people, predominantly Black, conducted a ‘Takeover:’ a blocking off of the street to obstruct normal traffic, mass loud and disorderly conduct, including drag racing down a residential street, and trespassing onto private property.
The violence began after a small group of White college students asked members of the crowd to leave their private property. What followed was a vicious attack in which multiple young women were dragged from the porch and assaulted on the lawn and in the street. One victim described being pulled by her hair and kicked by multiple people at once. Thankfully, the victims were able to survive this brutal anti-White attack. The father of one of the victims has stated that the violence was not limited to just that household and that other people on the street were also affected - although video of these incidents has not yet surfaced.

This incident raises serious questions about public safety and emergency response. Students say that they had called 911 multiple times prior to the brutal assault, but York City Police has claimed limited resources did not allow them to respond in a timely manner. A delayed response in a situation involving a large, disorderly gathering, one that resulted in multiple racially motivated hate crimes to occur, is unacceptable and warrants a full review of dispatch, staffing, and neighborhood coverage.

Jackson Street, where the incident took place, is home to many students of the nearby York College, and is considered to be “off-campus housing.” Residents have reported that large, disorderly gatherings of this kind have become common and that problems arising around them, like an assault just two weeks prior to this one, are insufficiently addressed. Students and families are entitled to expect that private property and personal safety will be protected, that emergency calls will receive a timely response, and that those responsible for violent crimes will be identified and charged.

We call on the York City Police Department, the York County District Attorney’s Office, and the York College of Pennsylvania to:
Complete a thorough and transparent investigation, including review of all available video, 911 call recordings, and witness statements.
Identify and charge every individual who participated in the brutal assaults, trespassing, and related offenses, and to examine whether the attack was motivated in whole or in part by racial animus and therefore eligible for treatment as a bias-motivated crime under applicable law.
Review why repeated pre-assault calls did not produce an earlier police presence and establish a public-safety plan against any future large gatherings that obstruct the street, trespass on private property, or place students and other residents at risk.

We will be following up on this incident and encourage members of the public with further details as to the racial nature of the incident to come to us. Anyone with information on specific criminal incidents should contact the York City Police Department through its tip line or Crimewatch portal. Tips may be submitted anonymously.

Some of you guys should really try having some family experiences with your kids without documenting it or putting it on social media.

Crazy
Start with this, you must be crazy to strangle your 3 little children to death. Only an insane person would commit a crime so vile and horrifying. When the Lindsay Clancy case broke, most people I know were outraged by the terrible deed. My mind was made-up as her trial approached that this woman deserved either to serve the rest of her life in prison or, if crazy, in a secure psychiatric institution. From society's point of view, this baby killer would be punished and put away so as never to threaten her own or anybody else’s children.
As the trial progressed, a closer probe of the triple killings became more complex. As much as we resisted feeling sympathy for this monster defendant how could we not listen as her skilled attorney Kevin Reddington brought on witness after witness to talk about postpartum psychosis and how it might have gripped Clancy as she plotted and perpetrated the dreadful crime? My daughter Simone, who is also an excellent lawyer, stripped this case of its complexity when she texted me “I think she was crazy and therefore NOT GUILTY.” She then went on colorfully to excoriate the lone juror holdout on the not guilty verdict.
To their credit, responsible legal commentators resisted demonizing Clancy. They praised defense attorney Reddington for his dogged attempt to have her found not guilty by reason of insanity and were critical of the Commonwealth for throwing the criminal book at someone arguably in the grips of severe mental illness. How does anyone know she was severely mentally ill? Have you seen the pictures? No sane human could do that to three beautiful little babies. 
However sympathetic we must be to victims of postpartum depression or any severe mental illness, all babies must be protected. It is just too easy to hurt them. Every parent, particularly those without childcare feels frustrated at times, impatient, distracted, angry at their spouses and the world, even dangerous. Sometimes, the babies must be protected against the people who should love and cherish them the most.
Probably unaware of the firestorm this trial would become, Timothy Cruz, the local District Attorney, chose to throw the book at Lindsay Clancy, charging her with first and second-degree murder, and if neither of those stuck, then manslaughter. He was determined to portray her as a villain, not a victim. In defending his harsh approach, Cruz spoke to the crowd and the assembled news media as the deadlocked jury tried to reach consensus on what if anything Lindsay Clancy was guilty of. He said, “All too often criminals are being treated as victims and the real victims are invisible. It is our job to make sure that the victims are not invisible.” 
Twenty-five years ago, a Houston Texas woman named Andrea Yates confessed to drowning her five young children in the bathtub. She was found not guilty by reason of insanity. She is still being held in a psychiatric institution. Odds are neither she nor Lindsay Clancy will ever live outside an institution again. Society would be well served to invest more in researching the dark side of parenting and the demons that allow seemingly ordinary and normal people to commit such hideous acts.

@GeraldoRivera THIS 👆🏼

[Kylie Jane Kremer @KylieJaneKremer]

Here’s the potential bombshell in the Lindsay Clancy case that almost no one is talking about: Rule 25.

Kevin Reddington has repeatedly moved for a required finding of not guilty under Massachusetts Rule of Criminal Procedure 25. In simple terms, he is arguing that even taking the Commonwealth’s evidence as presented, the prosecution failed to introduce legally sufficient evidence to prove the required elements beyond a reasonable doubt.

Judge Sullivan denied earlier Rule 25 motions. But when Reddington renewed the motion after all of the evidence was presented, Judge Sullivan reserved his ruling.

That distinction could become enormously important if this jury hangs.

A hung jury ordinarily results in a mistrial and leaves the Commonwealth free to retry the case. But because Judge Sullivan reserved ruling on the Rule 25 motion, a second trial is not necessarily the only possible outcome.

There are several very different ways this could end:

1. Sullivan denies the Rule 25 motion. If the jury hangs, the case ends in a mistrial and the Commonwealth has the option to prosecute Lindsay again.

2. Sullivan grants a required finding of NOT GUILTY because the evidence was legally insufficient. That is dramatically different from a hung jury. It is an acquittal for double-jeopardy purposes.

3. Criminal responsibility creates another possible outcome. If the Commonwealth sufficiently proved that Lindsay committed the underlying acts but failed to carry its burden on criminal responsibility under Massachusetts law, the result could be not guilty by reason of lack of criminal responsibility (NCR). That is not the same thing as an ordinary acquittal. It can trigger evaluation and civil commitment proceedings and would likely result in Lindsay being confined in a psychiatric facility rather than prison.

Those outcomes could not be more different.

And ultimately a Rule 25 ruling could effectively close the door not only on another trial, but on any meaningful further investigation, including into Patrick Clancy.

So when people say, “If they hang, they’ll just retry her,” they are skipping over a major unresolved issue.

Judge Sullivan still has Reddington’s reserved Rule 25 motion sitting in front of him.

NEW: Alan Dershowitz says prosecutors overreached by pursuing first-degree murder against Lindsay Clancy and predicts they won't make the same move if the case is tried again.

There is no dispute that Clancy killed her three children, he says. The real fight is over her mental state and whether she met the legal standard for insanity.

Dershowitz points to the hung jury as evidence that reasonable people can come down on opposite sides of that question and says a plea deal could ultimately make sense for both sides. | @AmericaRpts

JUST IN: NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch says officers spent four minutes ordering the knife-wielding Times Square suspect to drop her weapons before she allegedly threatened them, repeating, "I will kill you."

Tisch says multiple officers deployed Tasers as the woman continued advancing with the knives, but they proved ineffective. Two officers then opened fire.

The suspect, identified as 49-year-old Pamela Cisneros of Queens, was pronounced dead at Bellevue Hospital.
