Assistant Fire Chief Glynn Johnson is a filthy degenerate who beat a 6-month-old puppy to death for kicks. He then claimed “self-defense” even though a witness who was there and saw the attack says the puppy did nothing wrong. From KTLA:

Was the beating of a puppy self-defense, or animal cruelty?

Now it’s up to the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office to try to uncover the truth.

“I just think he’s an evil person.

How can any human being just murder a puppy for no reason?” dogowner Shelley Toole says fighting through tears.

Her family can’t sleep.

They say Monday, their next-door neighbor, in some kind of violent rage, beat their puppy so badly the dog had to be put down.

Karley was a six-month old shepherd mix.

What may surprise many people is the fact that the neighbor is Los Angeles County Assistant Fire Chief Glynn Johnson.

An online biography lists a stellar 30-year career with the department. It says he’s an expert in counter-terrorism, among other areas.

[…]

The Tooles say Monday evening, Karley got out and went to neighbor Travis Staggs’ home. He lives on the other side of Chief Johnson’s house.

Staggs says he was walking Karley home when Johnson stepped in and said he would take the dog back home.

Staggs says he reluctantly handed over the puppy, and that’s when it happened in Johnson’s front yard.

Travis Staggs tells KTLA that Glynn Johnson simply started beating the dog, and that the dog had not attacked Johnson first.

According to this witness, Johnson hit the dog repeatedly with a closed fist, put his hands in the puppy’s mouth and tried to break its jaws, and eventually beat the dog over the head repeatedly with a large rock from the front yard.

Staggs says he tried to stop the attack but couldn’t. The Toole family later decided to have Karley put down because of the extent of her injuries.

“It scares me, knowing I live next-door to this man,” says Travis Staggs.

The Tooles say they will take civil action against the assistant fire chief regardless of the outcome of the criminal investigation.

The Tooles report that Johnson has a “history of violence” which of course the good old boy Democrats covered up while they were allowing him to help plan for dealing with terrorist attacks. As goes California so does the rest of America, lock up your puppies people, the Democrats are looking for ways to celebrate the one party government we’ll have come January.

And what’s with that Staggs character? He couldn’t stop Johnson? There was apparently a rock laying around so I’m thinking he could have stopped Johnson the hard way. He could have at least grabbed the puppy and ran. You suck Staggs.

Here’s hoping that Johnson is relieved of duty permanently, succumbs to an alcohol/drug binge induced depression and does the right thing with a bottle of sleeping pills. Have fun in Hell Glynn Johnson, if that is your real name since it is suspiciously similar to hardware manufacturing company. How odd. It’s almost like his name’s a poorly chosen alias…

KTLA has video if you have the stomach. The L.A. County Fire Dept. can be contacted at (323) 881-2411 or info@lacofd.org just in case you wanted to ask how a man rumored to have blinded a dog with a BB gun and had police called on him for beating his daughter well before this incident could have risen through the ranks of their organization.

This story is just horrible, and proof that we’re slowly descending into a new Dark Ages. It’s only a matter of years until our home grown barbarians sack a major city:

Always lock your doors and arm yourselves. You’re going to need to defend yourself from the hordes sooner than you think.

I was reminded when I came home from my trip to check in on the brutal murder of Angie Zapata when I found that at some point “Wow” left this comment on my original post:

I can’t believe how many people are saying that Zapata seems to have no partial fault in the resulting death. I don’t have to worry about telling someone my genetic (XY/XX) status. I would think that someone who had started out live as one and was turned into the other, would say,”oh btw, i was ‘X’ and now i am ‘Y’.” I think it would show something about that someone.
Things people should say upfront;
I am divorced
I am an ex con
I have (insert STD)
I was once a (genitalia description)
So the (bio)man gets the shock of his life. And no one seem to be saying. just maybe (non bio) woman should have said something sooner. instead we get, “it is a macho thing. (bio) males are dumb and can’t resolve shocks without violence.” just WOW

Really? What “Wow” is implying is that Zapata bought this on him/herself which is ludicrous and sinister apologia for people who think violence against gays, women or some combination of the two is acceptable. His idea that the murderer was a shocked lover is in direct opposition of the facts of the case as they stand. As I said in the original post, Zapata’s killer had sex with her, then killed her to cover up his own peculiar predilections:

Allen Ray Andrade, 31, was arrested in Thornton on Tuesday and faces second-degree murder and aggravated motor vehicle theft charges.

In an arrest affidavit obtained by 9NEWS, Andrade admits to police to killing Angie Zapata, 20, who was living as a woman but born as Justin Zapata.

Zapata was found beaten to death in a Greeley apartment in the 2000 block of 4th Street on July 17. Authorities say Zapata had suffered fatal wounds to her head and face.

The affidavit says Andrade met Zapata on a social networking site, MocoSpace, and the two arranged to meet July 15.

Zapata picked Andrade up in Thornton where he lived and the pair returned to Zapata’s Greeley apartment together. Andrade told police Zapata performed a sexual act on him.

The following day, the affidavit explains, Andrade started to look at photos in the apartment and questioned Zapata’s sex. That night, Andrade questioned Zapata directly, according to the affidavit, and Andrade says Zapata responded, “I’m all woman.”

At which point he say he grabbed Zapata’s crotch, found a penis and then beat the 20-year-old to death.You know, because after spending the night with Zapata he had yet to notice that Zapata was a man living as a woman. Right. Of course. That’s totally possible.

Or maybe Andrade developed a taste for the lady boys on one of the many bids he did in prison:

Andrade has a lengthy record that includes attempt to commit first-degree criminal trespass, attempt to commit theft from a person, possession of a contraband, attempted escape and attempt to commit theft by receiving. He served time for each of the convictions.

Make no mistake, Andrade knew Zapata was a male to female transgender the whole time and planned on killing her after sex, just as he likely assaulted and beat his rape victims in prison. The hate crime charge many groups want to slap on Andrade plays right into his defense lawyers hands by claiming this was the reaction of a homophobe and not the cold blooded planned murder of Zapata by a sexually sadistic killer.

Allan Andrade trolled MoCoSpace for victims, he found a person who I say he knew was a male-to-female transsexual and decided to victimize Zapata because he knew Zapata would be submissive to him. He knew he could dominate Zapata and as the last ultimate act of domination he killed the 20-year-old and stole her car.

Zapata’s living situation is inconsequential to this crime. Andrade would have found some other victim had he not found Angie Zapata and he would have done the same thing. Allen Andrade will kill again if given the chance and like the rabid dog he is he should be put down.

Allen Andrade deserves to die, not because Angie Zapata was transgendered and certainly not because various groups are using Zapata’s death to “shed light” on the plight of transsexuals, but because Zapata deserves justice and justice can only be delivered through the death of Allen Andrade.

The above two desperately poor people are Gloria Nunez and her daughter Angelica Hernandez, who is only 19. NPR says the economy is so bad these two people are having to cut meat out of their diet and skip meals.

No really, that’s what they’re claiming:

A generation ago, the livelihood of Gloria Nunez’s family was built on cars.

Her father worked at General Motors for 45 years before retiring. Her mother taught driver’s education. Nunez and her six siblings grew up middle class.

Things have changed considerably for this Ohio family.

Nunez’s van broke down last fall. Now, her 19-year-old daughter has no reliable transportation out of their subsidized housing complex in Fostoria, 40 miles south of Toledo, to look for a job.

Nunez and most of her siblings and their spouses are unemployed and rely on government assistance and food stamps. Some have part-time jobs, but working is made more difficult with no car or public transportation.

So her father worked and she doesn’t, and never has but it’s the economy that’s hurting her. Her father managed to work but none of her siblings have jobs, her daughter who has a different last name than her (and grew up seeing her mother never work) has no job. But it’s the gas prices going up in the last year and a half that’s hurting them. Right.

Nunez, 40, has never worked and has no high school degree. She says a car accident 17 years ago left her depressed and disabled, incapable of getting a job. Instead, she and her daughter, Angelica Hernandez, survive on a $637 Social Security check and $102 in food stamps.

Hernandez received her high school diploma and has had several jobs in recent years. But now, because fewer restaurants and stores are hiring, she says she finds it hard to find a job. Even if she could, she says it’s particularly hard to imagine how she’ll keep it. She says she needs someone to give her a lift just to get to an interview. And with gas prices so high, she’s not sure she could afford to pay someone to drive her to work every day.

People tell Nunez her daughter could get more money in public assistance if she had a child.

“A lot of people have told me, ‘Why don’t your daughter have a kid?’”

They both reject that as a plan.

“I’m trying to get a job,” Hernandez says. “I just can’t get a job.”

Hernandez says she’s trying to get training to be a nurse’s assistant, but without her own set of wheels or enough money to pay others for gas, it hasn’t been easy.

Huh. Hernandez had a job but doesn’t work there anymore. What’s that mean? Hmmm.

Putting all that aside, let’s say you just take their word for it that they can’t work. So, if I may be indelicate for a second, how do they manage to remain so, shall we say, rubinesque?

Couldn’t they use to eat less? And frankly I’ve been poor and I did not, at 19, look like that. These people probably go over 350 each, closer to 400 I’d say. To maintain that weight and not lose any walking everywhere, which is what they claim they do, they’d have to eat five or six times a day. They have no car but they buy groceries, they’re active enough to lose weight but they’re morbidly obese and we’re supposed to feel sorry for them?

Nice try NPR but if you want sympathy from me you’re going to need to trot out somebody who actually skips meals. And if this is the best sob story you have, a couple of obese people having to eat less than the 40,000 calories a day they’re used to, then maybe the economy isn’t really all that bad, huh?

h/t Gateway Pundit

That’s right Five. And the intended target was his grandmother who told him he couldn’t go out and play. He set a fire then called 911 saying his grandma had died. Luckily she hadn’t:

NEW YORK — A 5-year-old boy is in critical condition with severe burns after he allegedly started a fire in his grandmother’s Brooklyn apartment to punish her.

Jay Morales was angry about being reprimanded and planned to burn his grandmother’s apartment down in revenge, police told the New York Post and MyFOX New York.

The blaze at Nancy Herrera’s apartment in the three-story building on Knickerbocker Avenue broke out about 3 p.m. Monday, the Fire Department of New York said.

Police said the boy called 911 on Sunday night claiming his grandmother had died, according to the Post. But firefighters arrived to find her unharmed. Herrera tried to save her grandson, but he was engulfed in flames, so she escaped.

The next day, Jay allegedly told friends he planned to burn the house down after Herrera wouldn’t let him go out and play.

Frankly this story seems a little odd, but if it turns out to be true what the hell is going on with that kid?
