Mississippi escaped inmate in custody after manhunt. some prison employees facing disciplinary action
A Mississippi convicted killer who escaped prison for the second time in nearly four years over the weekend has been re captured. with a dozen prison employees now facing disciplinary action. according to authorities. Michael Floyd Wilson. also known as. 'Pretty Boy Floyd.' 51. was taken into custody in Harrison County just before 1 p.m. Tuesday by deputies with the Harrison County Sheriff's Office. Authorities said a woman tipped them off to Wilson's whereabouts after he carjacked her vehicle. Deputies chased after the vehicle which eventually ran out of gas and Wilson was arrested without incident. Mississippi Department of Corrections Commissioner Burl Cain said during a news briefing on Tuesday. MISSISSIPPI CONVICTED KILLER ESCAPES PRISON SECOND TIME. MANHUNT UNDERWAY. AUTHORITIES SAY Wilson escaped Saturday from the Central Mississippi Correctional Facility in Pearl. Mississippi. about 11 miles southeast of Jackson. Cain said. Officials originally believed Wilson escaped on Sunday.

Wilson was wearing gloves that were found stuck in the wire. officials said.

After the escape. Cain said a dozen MDOC employees are on administrative leave pending disciplinary action. including management. He noted the biggest mistake was having Wilson taken out of maximum security. 'That alarms us.' Cain said. 'The person or persons involved with that change made a terrible mistake.' Wilson was sentenced to life in prison after he was convicted for beating two men to death in Biloxi and Gulfport in 2014. He was also serving sentences for burglary and possession of a firearm by a felon. according to the Clarion Ledger. Wilson previously escaped the South Mississippi Correctional Institution in Leakesville in July 2018 and was recaptured more than two days later in Ocean Springs. about 70 miles away.

'Well take him to reside in Walnut Grove so he'll have a hard time getting away from there.' he added. citing the higher security facility. 'It won't happen again.'

Pepper spray sales spike as NYC women say they feel ‘unsafe’ after Chinatown murder
New York women are feeling “unsafe” in the wake of Christina Yuna Lee’s brutal stabbing death Sunday — prompting a rush to buy pepper spray across the Big Apple. business owners said. “Manhattan used to be an oasis. now I’m looking over my shoulder to make sure I’m not being followed.” Elise Hsu. a 34 year old real estate agent who lives in Chinatown. told The Post Tuesday. “This is every woman’s nightmare. I spend my time thinking will I be harassed? Raped? Murdered in my own home?” she continued. “What happens if I’m next?” The Post spoke with nearly a dozen women Tuesday who said they no longer feel safe in the Big Apple and five businesses that sell pepper spray that have either seen a recent uptick in sales or more women purchasing the self defense tool. “It has become a popular item. yes.” said a staffer at F&J Police Equipment in The Bronx. “We’ve had some women. also some men who were buying it for their wives or girlfriends or daughters.” the worker said. adding some have expressed fear for their safety when making the purchase. Early Sunday morning. Lee took a cab home to her Chinatown apartment around 4 a.m. after spending the evening at a friend’s party and as she made her way inside the building. 25 year old Assamad Nash allegedly crept in behind her. Nash. a homeless man known for harassing commuters at the nearby Grand Street subway station. followed behind the 35 year old creative producer as she climbed six flights of stairs to her apartment. Once she opened her door. Nash forced his way inside and allegedly butchered her with a knife. stabbing her over 40 times and leaving her to die in her bathtub. prosecutors said. Pepper spray is legal to carry in New York by anyone over the age of 18 who has not been convicted of a felony or an assault but it can only be used for the purpose of self defense. according to state law.

Team Hillary’s criminal hacking and other commentary
From the right: Team Hillary’s Criminal Hacking Special counsel John Durham just confirmed that Hillary Clinton’s associates illegally spied on Donald Trump to delegitimize his victory and presidency. fumes the Washington Examiner’s Kaylee McGhee White. Her “campaign deliberately funded” lawyer Michael Sussman and others “to monitor Trump and his allies. even after he took office.” Durham’s court filing “proves the campaign to undermine Trump went far beyond what many suspected”: It didn’t “just spy on Trump’s campaign” but on the White House. hacking into the “government’s confidential servers” and using pilfered info to “manufacture” the Russia collusion narrative — which our intelligence community then “ran with.” Years later. few of the people responsible “have faced any consequences.” Hopefully. “that changes soon.” From the left: How Dems Can Win Facing what liberals see as “the Republican threat to America’s constitutional experiment.” Stanley B. Greenberg asks at The American Prospect. “What is our plan to save it?” He says: “Focus on working class voters — white. Black. Hispanic. Asian.” Decades ago. he labeled “defecting. unionized. ethnic Catholic suburban voters” as “Reagan Democrats” because they “felt betrayed” by their traditional party. He sees “the same pattern today” as Dems...

State Department hits back at Russia 'propaganda.' says troops moving 'into fighting positions'
The State Department on Wednesday hit back on Russian claims that it is reducing its troop size along the Ukrainian border and said the U.S. is concerned by the 'great deal of propaganda and disinformation.' Earlier this week Russian officials claimed that it would be reducing its force size along Ukraine’s border after amassing roughly 150.000 troops and deploying 30.000 soldiers into neighboring Belarus. MOSCOW LOOKS TO SEVER MINSK AGREEMENTS AS RUSSIA. UKRAINE CONFLICT PERSISTS But despite claims that Russian President Vladimir Putin echoed Tuesday. the U.S. and NATO have said they have seen no such efforts. 'We have seen the opposite.' State Department press secretary Ned Price told reporters Wednesday. 'In recent days more Russian forces — not fewer — are at the border. and they are moving … into fighting positions.' 'This is cause for profound concern.' he said. Russia on Tuesday released images depicting trailers being loaded up with tanks and military equipment. but Price said these images are just one element in the Kremlin’s disinformation campaign. 'Over the past several weeks. we’ve also seen Russian officials and Russian media plant numerous stories in the press — any one of which could be elevated to serve as a pretext for an invasion.' Price said. The press secretary laid out a litany of falsified stories that have made their way into the news cycle. as well as stories that security officials are worried Russia could use. 'It could involve claims about Ukrainian military activity in the Donbas. false claims of U.S. or NATO activities on land. at sea or air — even claims of Ukrainian or NATO incursions into Russian territory.' Price said. NATO CHIEF CONTRADICTS RUSSIA WITHDRAWAL CLAIMS. SAYS NO PROOF OF PULLING BACK Putin baselessly alleged on Tuesday that 'genocide' was being committed against ethnic Russians in the Donbas region in Ukraine. an area that Russia invaded in 2014 and has since backed militarily. Moscow on Wednesday then claimed to have found mass graves in Donbas. 'These allegations are entirely. completely false.' Price said. 'There is no basis of truth in any of these allegations.' The Kremlin’s attention this week has shifted to the Donbas region. located in Ukraine’s most eastern flank. and Putin is set to consider severing the international Minsk agreements by recognizing two breakaway regions in Donbas as 'independent.' The State Department warned Putin this would prompt a 'firm response' from the U.S. and NATO and would 'constitute a gross violation of international law.' 'There are Russian words and then there are Russian actions.' Price said. 'This is the Russian playbook.' 'They seek to obscu

The accounting firm that has for years prepared annual financial statements for Donald Trump and his businesses is cutting ties with his company and says a decade's worth of the reports 'should no longer be relied upon.'
