Unacceptable - this sick and twisted monster should be in jail for years

[Matt Van Swol @mattvanswol]

🚨#BREAKING: Outrage is erupting after a Missouri police officer who STARVED his own K9 partner to de*th and abused a another K-9...

...received just 15 DAYS in jail for doing so

The dog, Apollo, lost nearly 40% of his body weight, his ribs and spine were poking through his skin, and he passed away from "terminal starvation and dehydration" in a kennel in the officer's backyard.

His punishment? FIFTEEN DAYS in jail.

His name is Derrick Durall. He was the K9 handler for the Dexter Police Department in Missouri.

His partner was Apollo, a Belgian Malinois the department bought in April 2023.

In September 2023, a veterinarian examined Apollo. Her words, in the court record: a "perfectly healthy police dog." 67 pounds. Body condition: "perfect."

Five months later, on February 18, 2024, Apollo was found de*d in his kennel outside Durall's house.

He weighed 41 pounds.

Twenty-five pounds, GONE. His muscles wasted away. His eyes sunken into his skull. The state trooper's photos show his ribs and vertebrae protruding through his skin.

The necropsy: "terminal starvation and dehydration."

The police department PROVIDED the dog food, for free. It was sitting right there.

He just... didn't feed him.

When investigators asked, Durall claimed he "had not noticed the health decline" of his own partner.

A dog that lost nearly 40% of its body weight, in his own backyard.

It gets worse. There was a SECOND dog.

Retired K9 Knox lived in the kennel next to Apollo.

When they found him, he had severe heartworms, teeth worn down, and he had lost 10 pounds and had not seen a vet in over a YEAR.

Investigators said he smelled so bad the stench wouldn't come off after washing him FIVE times.

Now here's where I need you to pay attention, because this is the accountability part.

Prosecutors charged him with TWO FELONIES for animal abuse, alleging the suffering was "torture, consciously inflicted."

A jury trial was set for this summer.

And then, last week, it all evaporated.

He was allowed to plead guilty to two MISDEMEANORS. T
he felonies vanished and a judge sentenced him to one year in jail... and then SUSPENDED it.

Fifteen days. Two years probation. $8,900 to the city.

That's it.

It gets worse.

Missouri has a law called Max's Law.

If YOU, a regular citizen, knowingly m*rder a police K9, it's a Class D felony with up to SEVEN YEARS in prison.

Attack a police dog and you could do seven years.

Starve one to de*th in your backyard while wearing the badge... fifteen days.

Apollo couldn't open the food bag.
He couldn't turn on a faucet.
He couldn't call a vet.

He was completely dependent on the one man sworn to take care of him.

And that man let him waste away to 41 pounds and starve in the cold.

Pure evil.

🚨THIS IS INSANE!!!

A 25-year-old suffered a catastrophic brain injury in a motorcycle crash and UnitedHealthcare is REFUSING to pay for the treatment that could help him wake up...

...because they decided it was "NOT MEDICALLY NECESSARY" even though his doctor's said it was!!!

His name is Peyton Alvarez, he's 25 years old.

Back in April, Peyton was riding his motorcycle near Greenville, South Carolina, when he veered off the road and hit a tree.

He was wearing his helmet, but. the impact left him with a traumatic brain injury so severe that doctors call his condition a "disorder of consciousness."

His mother Trina got the call every parent on earth prays they never get. "We have your son Peyton, and he's been in a motorcycle accident."

There is a place that specializes in bringing people like Peyton back. The Shepherd Center in Atlanta, one of the best brain injury rehab centers in the country.

And it wasn't just his family who wanted him there. His DOCTORS recommended it.

The people who actually examined Peyton said this is the care he needs to recover.

And UnitedHealthcare said NO.

Their reason, in writing:

Peyton's condition "does not meet the criteria" for the rehab his family requested.

In plain English? They called the treatment that could help this young man wake up "not medically necessary."

Not one person at that insurance company has ever laid eyes on Peyton. His doctors have, but UnitedHealthcare overrode them anyway.

Instead, they offered a NURSING HOME.

Yes, you read that right... a nursing home.

[Justice For HeeHaw @Justice4HeeHaw]

We’ve officially launched a petition demanding the release of the body-camera footage from the day HeeHaw was killed.

There have been too many unanswered questions and too much speculation. The footage can help show exactly what happened.

If you’ve been following HeeHaw’s story and want transparency, please sign and share the petition.

The more signatures we get, the harder this becomes to ignore.

Release the footage. Let the facts speak. #JusticeForHeeHaw 🤍

Warner Brothers has just about given up on CNN.

They are thinking of selling the struggling fake news network.

It would be COOL if Elon bought it.

Then people in airports all over the world would see REAL news about America for the first time in decades.

WOW 🚨 A District judge in California is BLOCKING the city of Berkeley from clearing any homeless encampments. The city must allow tents and homeless encampments, even though they’re being overrun

Take a good look, America. This is what “Democratic Socialism” looks like

You’re never going to believe this

The Supreme Court said California cities could clear homeless encampments

Then a group called Berkeley Homeless Union started after this ruling to fight the decision

Berkeley's city manager wanted to clear the homeless encampments

The ‘Berkeley Homeless Union’ filed a lawsuit to stop the homeless tents from being cleared

A judge sided with Berkeley Homeless Union and stopped them from clearing the encampment

Berkeley Homeless Union was founded by 2 people in 2024. A woman named Yesica Prado who lives in an RV and Gordon Gilmore who live in a van

This is who’s stopping homeless encampments from being cleared in Berkeley

How is this real life…

🚨🇺🇸 A man ran out of the Brighton Beach subway station, grabbed a container full of trash, and HURLED it at an innocent 90-YEAR-OLD woman on the sidewalk

Completely random attack at 10 in the morning

She was hospitalized and he ran off

Honestly, at what point does New York decide this isn't acceptable anymore?

This brown and white angel was held captive his entire life behind wired fences on Skid Row. His entire life was a wired crate. We worked hard to save him and this is him today.
