A Phoenix father was sentenced to eight years in prison for manslaughter after he beat a man to death outside a Phoenix convenience store in August 2018. Melvin Harris III, 41, admitted to investigators he punched a man, later identified as Leon Armstrong, outside the QuikTrip on 19th and Dunlap avenues.

 Harris had gone to the convenience store to pick up his daughter and her friends when Armstrong asked him for money in the parking lot, police say. After getting money from Harris, Armstrong went inside the QT store. Harris's daughter and her friends came out of the store and told him that Armstrong tried to get into his daughter's bathroom stall inside. Police documents say Harris went inside the store and "told a security guard he needed to take care of the situation, or (Harris) would do it himself."

 Harris then approached Armstrong outside the store and punched him in the face. With Armstrong on the ground, Harris continued punching and kicking him before driving off, according to police documents. Armstrong was taken to a hospital with brain swelling and a fractured nose. He was unresponsive and later died, police say. Harris pleaded guilty to manslaughter.

EPSTEIN ‘ADMITTED TO ME’ HE WAS A SPY: Ex-Business Partner Of Sex Criminal Claims Prince Andrew Is Protecting Ghislaine Maxwell, Stonewalling Prosecutors’ Investigation Over Blackmail Fears

The Epstein story will never die.  Of course Epstein did die but he didn't kill himself.  Or so goes the story.

Way I figure, besides taking famous people on sex journeys, just how did Epstein make enough money to buy airplanes and exotic locales in the middle of the ocean?

There's a bunch of people involved with this Epstein guy and someday it will all come out.

Hero Cop

Well I certainly think this is an amazing action.  The cop was on duty and saw the SUV rolling down a busy street.  A street filled with busy pedestrians and traffic in every direction.  An SUV with no driver at the wheel.

In the security video, a black SUV with no one at the wheel is seen rolling by Carmo and appearing to veer toward a sidewalk crowded with students.



I was just thinking in my mind, 'I got to find a way to stop this'


An investigation later determined that the vehicle had been parked on Boston Avenue when, for some unexplained reason, it accidentally slipped out of park, merged into eastbound traffic and began to pick up speed on the downhill slope with one person in the passenger seat and another in the back seat but no one at the wheel, according to police.
"I was just thinking in my mind, 'I got to find a way to stop this,'" Carmo recalled.

Behind a U.A.W. Crisis: Lavish Meals and Luxury Villas (perks like a $6,500 steak dinner and golf outings and gear costing $80,000)

This is perhaps technically not a true crime.  But I once worked for a union and believe me, they are very generous with members' dues.

Fast Food Protests for $15 minimum wage

On a single day in December 2015, Gary Jones, who resigned last month as president of the United Automobile Workers, spent more than $13,000 of the union’s money at a cigar store in Arizona. His purchases included a dozen $268 boxes of Ashton Double Magnums and a dozen boxes of Ashton Monarchs at $274.50 each. “Hi Gary, Thank you & Happy New Year,” read a handwritten note from the store.

  The purchases, documented by a federal complaint filed against a union leader in September, were part of more than $60,000 in cigars and cigar paraphernalia that Mr. Jones and other U.A.W. officials expensed to the union between 2014 and 2018. And the cigar purchases were in turn just a small portion of the roughly $1 million in union money that court filings say U.A.W. officials spent on golf outings, four-figure dinners and monthslong villa rentals during regular retreats in Palm Springs, Calif., and elsewhere.  The scandal comes on top of an investigation into company and union officials’ improper use of millions of dollars from a joint Fiat Chrysler-U.A.W. training center. Mr. Jones’s predecessor as president, Dennis Williams, is accused of encouraging the use of Fiat Chrysler funds meant for worker education as a way to pay for the extravagant spending in Palm Springs and other places. In direct financial terms, the scandals don’t approach the scale of the corruption that plagued organized labor in the 1960s and ’70s.

But the stakes are nonetheless enormous, given the U.A.W.’s outsize influence over auto manufacturing, a pillar of the United States economy that generates hundreds of billions of dollars in annual revenue and employs hundreds of thousands of workers. The union’s 40-day strike against General Motors this year cost the automaker an estimated $3 billion in profit.
