"man accused of shoving woman to her death at S.F. bart station had dozens of arrests in bay area
 | | "man accused of shoving woman to her dea... |
"man accused of shoving woman to her death at S.F. bart station had dozens of arrests in bay area" "the man authorities say shoved an elderly woman to her death at San Francisco's Powell street bart station in july had been arrested dozens of times and was previously ordered by a judge to stay away from bart trains and stations, records show.
"Trevor Belmont, 49, was arrested july 1 on the station platform minutes after he allegedly killed 74-year-old Corazon Dandan by pushing her into an oncoming train, according to prosecutors, who cited eyewitness accounts and surveillance videos. Belmont was charged with murder and elder abuse but has been hospitalized for psychiatric care and unable to appear in court for four months. as of thursday he had not entered a plea.
"the allegations represent the most serious charges yet against a mentally ill homeless man who appears to have cycled in and out of the criminal justice system for years, seemingly without meaningful intervention. his case reflects a persistent and widespread phenomenon in the bay area, in which people who pose a threat to themselves and others receive little care and, in many cases, cannot be forced into long-term treatment.
"while bart in recent years has boosted its efforts to reach vulnerable populations by deploying crisis intervention specialists to help riders experiencing mental illness, homelessness and addiction, it was unclear whether Belmont was among them. his attorney in the shoving case, San Francisco deputy public defender Bao Doan, called him a 'very vulnerable' person who 'suffers from serious mental health issues' and has been hospitalized due to his inability to care for himself.
"'unfortunately, our city has not prioritized providing public health solutions to address mental health needs, and instead has poured vast resources into ineffective and harmful systems of punishment and incarceration,' Doan said. 'these systems continue to compound tragedies rather than help restore people's health, which could make us all safer."
"representatives for the San Francisco department of emergency management would not say whether any of its street crisis response teams were aware of Belmont prior to the alleged incident.
Belmont was arrested at least 27 times in multiple bay area counties over the past two decades, though it appears prosecutors did not pursue most cases against him, court records show. in 2018, he was ordered to stay away from bart trains and stations for three years after he was convicted of lewd conduct at a bart station in Alameda county.
"records show Belmont was accused of repeatedly violating that stay-away order, however, and was subsequently arrested at multiple bart stations. in june 2018 he was booked into jail after officers saw him 'swinging his closed fists at bart patrons on the platform of the Dublin/Pleasanton bart station,' according to court records. Belmont was cited and released after the arrest, with the officer noting that none of the patrons on the platform opted to press charges.
"in response to questions about whether bart officials were aware of Belmont prior to the night he allegedly shoved Dandan, spokesperson Alicia Trost confirmed that officers had 'prior contact' with him but did not provide details. the transit agency turned over evidence from its investigation and will 'continue to work with the district attorney to support the prosecution of this case,' Trost said.
"Dandan's family last month filed a legal claim against bart, a precursor to a potential lawsuit, accusing the agency of failing 'to uphold its duty to protect passengers from harm through its negligent security practices,' according to a copy of the claim that was reviewed by the chronicle. representatives for bart did not comment on the claim.
"others have been shoved into oncoming trains in recent years. in 2020, a man waiting for a train at the downtown Berkeley station platform survived after he was pushed onto the tracks in an unprovoked attack. the following year, a woman survived after a man attempted to push her onto bart's San Leandro station platform. in new york city, transit officials reported several such attacks in recent years, resulting in fatalities that received national attention.
"Belmont has cycled in and out of San Francisco's criminal justice system since at least 2007, records show.
"in july 2013, a judge ordered Belmont to stay away from San Francisco state university for three years following an assault and battery on a member of the university community, according to university representatives and court records.
"that same year, a San Francisco jury found him guilty of lewd conduct and indecent exposure and he was sentenced to probation. under the terms of his probation, he was ordered to stay away from all schools in california for an unspecified number of years.
"in 2014, a judge ordered him to receive mental health counseling and to stay away from St. Monica's Catholic school for an unspecified number of years. it was unclear what he was charged with and the school did not respond to questions about why it requested the restraining order.
"Belmont served two weeks in jail last year after he accepted a plea deal for a vandalism charge in San Mateo county, records show.
"his attorney declined to comment on previous cases.
"on the night of july 1, prosecutors allege Belmont approached Dandan silently and 'surreptitiously' while she was waiting for a train home to Daly city after clocking out from her night shift as a telephone operator at a hotel in union square.
"'just as the train got close enough, he full-force shoved ms. Dandan into its path, using both hands … and sending her flying into the oncoming train,' prosecutors wrote in court filings. the moving train 'struck her in the head, sending her body spinning across the platform.
"paramedics took Dandan to San Francisco general hospital, where she was pronounced dead. family members described her as an energetic and independent woman who grew up in the Philippines and moved to the U.S. alone in the 1980s.
"Belmont remained on the platform and did not attempt to flee, prosecutors said, citing eyewitness accounts and video surveillance footage captured from multiple angles. prosecutors claim he confessed to the crime both in 'spontaneous statements' during his arrest and, later, in an interview with investigators.
"his attorney did not respond to questions about the alleged confessions.
"Belmont, who was born in cambodia and also goes by the name Hoak Taing, is scheduled to appear in court on friday.
"David Hernandez contributed to this report.

War crime victim Marguerite Estelle Worden
By Nicholas Stix
His name was Robert Nixon, aka Thomas Crosby, and I only heard about him for the first time a few days ago (on that, more anon).
The first entry I found for him was at dbpedia, where I read an “abstract,” which declared Nixon a victim of media racism.
“Robert Nixon (July 19, 1919 – June 16, 1939) was an American serial killer, born in the small town of Tallulah, Louisiana, who confessed to five murders and multiple assaults, including the Los Angeles ‘brick bat murders’ of 1937. Depicted with racist imagery in the mainstream press after his arrest, he was given the nickname the ‘Brick Moron’ as he killed his victims with bricks and was depicted as dimwitted. Convicted of murder, he was executed in Chicago in 1939. Nixon served, in part, as the basis of the character of Bigger Thomas in Richard Wright's 1940 social protest novel Native Son.”
[If Native Son is a social protest novel, then so is The Turner Diaries!]
The racial socialists controlling dbpedia claim that it provides short versions of pretend encyclopedia entries.
The dbpedia entry for Robert Nixon is only 101 words long. However, the system of urls that follows it is many times that length. I hit the url to pretend entry.
On February 10, 2018, “Plamen1402” posted an “info box” with a photograph of Nixon taken by a press photographer when he was arrested, entering “Victims 3-5.”
That was to mislead people too lazy to read the entry, which cites the following named and nameless victims:
Florence Thompson Castle, 24, 1936 “a Caucasian nightclub hostess” (this was in order to mislead readers into believing that the other victims were non-Whites, but they all lived in racially segregated buildings or hotels; murdered (since Nixon/Crosby always raped his victims, I’m counting this as a rape); (Chicago)
Mrs. H. W. Koll January 25, 1937 “attacked” (typically a euphemism for raped)
Elizabeth Reis February 3, 1937 “fractured her skull” (since Nixon/Crosby always raped his victims, I’m counting this as a rape); (L.A.)
Rose Valdez March 2, 1937 raped and murdered (L.A.)
Edna A. Worden (age 48) and her daughter, Marguerite Estelle Worden (12) April 4, 1937 raped and murdered both (L.A.)
Zoe Damrell March 28, 1937 “attacked and nearly murdered” (he raped her and committed attempted murder)
Anna Kuchta raped and murdered 1937 (Chicago)
Florence Johnson May 27, 1938, “the Caucasian wife of a Chicago fireman” (this was in order to mislead readers into believing that the other victims were non-Whites, but they all lived in racially segregated buildings or hotels in racially segregated neighborhoods (murdered; unclear if Nixon or his accomplice had also raped the vic; he insisted that his accomplice, Earl Hicks, was the perp, but it was legally irrelevant)
Nixon also confessed to raping three other Chicago women
The wikipediots complain that the newspaper coverage was racist (which was for them the real issue), but the black nationalist weekly, the chicago defender (called “the chicago offender” by many of its readers, due to its poor editing), apparently didn’t say that, and instead criticized the White press coverage as “lurid and inflammatory.”
One pretend operative asserted, against the Chicago press, “The Chicago slayings were depicted as sex crimes, although sexual assault had not been a factor in the Windy City murders.”
According to the same entry, rape most certainly was a factor in the Chicago murders.
the offender acted as if Nixon/Crosby had NOT confessed to any crimes, including to the cops.
In the real world, as retired Chicago cop Marty Preib notes, black criminals love to brag about their crimes (e.g., Yusuf Salaam of the Central Park Five: “It was fun; it was something to do”).
When we read the complete current pretend entry, we are left with:
At least six murders of White women
At least one attempted murder of a White woman
At least nine rapes, and probably 11, of White women
At his Murderpedia Web site, the late, legendary Juan Ignacio Blanco wrote,
“Robert Nixon killed five women and injured one other in Chicago and Los Angeles from 1936 to 1938.
“His claim to fame was his very basic but odd choice of murder weapon. Bricks. Nixon was a career petty criminal that moved on to murder when he broke into the Chicago home of Florence Castle on June 29, 1936, and looted her house before bludgeoning her to death with his faithful brick.
“In the Spring of 1937 he continued his slayings in L.A., claiming three more lives, including a mother and daughter. He left one surviving victim.
“Nixon was arrested after returning to Chicago and killing his fifth and final victim on May 28, 1938. He confessed to the brick attacks and sentenced to death for the last Windy City slaying. Nixon was electrocuted on June 15, 1939.”
Blanco also re-posted, without comment, a June 5, 1938 Chicago Tribune newspaper story by Charles Leavelle, “Brick slayer is likened to jungle beast.”
“Brick slayer is likened to jungle beast
“By Charles Leavelle - The Chicago Tribune
“June 5, 1938
“Beneath an alley fire escape policemen and detectives stand three and four deep. From a fifth floor window others lean out and call: ‘Let him come.
“Handcuffs click. A slouchily dressed colored youth detaches himself from the crowd of detectives and begins making his way up the side of the building effortlessly. At the second floor, where the fire escape begins, he poises himself lightly and swings over on to it.
“‘Look at him go,’ says a policeman. ‘Just like an ape.
“By the time this has been said the youth has swung himself over the sill and is in the fifth floor room where two years ago he raped and murdered with a brick Mrs. Florence Thompson Castle. As detectives watch he shows in pantomime how he committed the crime, one of the five savage murders he has confessed.
“Comes from Little Town.
“The Negro youth is Robert Nixon. He is 18 years old and comes from a pretty little town in the old south -- Tallulah, La. But there is nothing pretty about Robert Nixon. He has none of the charm of speech or manner that is characteristic of so many southern darkies.
“That charm is a mark of civilization, and so far as manner and appearance go, civilization has left Nixon practically untouched. His hunched shoulders and long, sinewy arms that dangle almost to his knees; his out-thrust head and catlike tread all suggest the animal.
“He is very black-- almost pure Negro. His physical characteristics suggest an earlier link in the species.”
An unsigned essay at Bartleby (paid registration required) lists Elizabeth Rice and Zoe Damrell among his murder victims, which would make for eight, and 18 rape victims.
In Nathan Marsak’s essay, “Life and Death of and in the Astoria,” at his blog, On Bunker Hill, he maintains that Nixon/Crosby murdered at least six females, and raped no fewer than 22. According to Marsak, the different numbers for Nixon/Crosby's murders and rapes were because he often forgot his trusty brick.
“Bigger Thomas” is an utterly ridiculous name, but perhaps there was some meaning, some code to it. “Bigger” rhymes with “n----r,” and there is a black tradition of the “bad n----r,” who defies White authority, and runs hogwild. Thus, “Bigger” would be a contraction of “bad n----r.”
All of the five “Biggers” who were Richard Wright’s models for “Bigger Thomas” were “bad n----rs.”
Current Chicago Tribune columnist Ron Grossman is indistinguishable from the pretend and dbpedia operatives. For Grossman, Robert Nixon, aka Thomas Crosby, was the victim of media racism, especially that of his own paper, long ago.
“The offensive news coverage that inspired ‘Native Son’”
“The 1938 murder of Florence Johnson was the kind of lurid story that would vex any newspaper editor. It was a sensational story, full of gruesome details, but one that its editors might eventually prefer disappear into the newsroom’s dusty archives.
“In this case, though, some of those details have lived on through the pages of Richard Wright’s 1940 classic, ‘Native Son,’ the first novel by an African-American author featured as a Book of the Month Club selection and one that is still found on high school and college reading lists. The fictional story of Bigger Thomas is based partially on the Chicago news accounts of Johnson’s murder — news accounts that are difficult to read today because of their racist tone.
Grossman is a liar in multiple ways. Only a radical leftwing editor would be “vexed” with such a crime. It would have run on the top of page one. And it was Robert Nixon, aka Thomas Crosby’s crimes that inspired Richard Wright. (Nixon only raped and murdered White girls and women.)
And it was through Richard Wright that I first learned about Nixon/Crosby.
At the wayback machine’s posting of Native Son, the text of a lecture Wright gave, “How Bigger was Born,” is also posted.
According to Wright, there were five real Bigger Thomases who inspired him to write his murderous, black monster. All were either boys or young men. All were thugs. But Richard Wright didn’t create Bigger Thomas out of revulsion towards the five Biggers. He embraced them. He speaks of a young negro man who got on the bus without paying, and when the White driver sought to collect his fare from him, pulled a knife on him. Wright said that the other black riders surely loved seeing a black man stick it to a White. Never mind that the thug would spend his life overwhelmingly harming blacks. If he occasionally humiliated or harmed a White, all his crimes against blacks were worth it to Richard Wright.
Of Nixon/Crosby, Wright says that he was one of the five Biggers, and that he paraphrased or quoted outright Chicago news reports on Nixon/Crosby’s crimes, but does not editorialize at all the way Grossman does about the press coverage. Grossman is even more pc, if that’s possible, than Wright!
Grossman does accurately quote a passage in which Wright dishonestly asserts that the police are constantly picking up random negroes, and charging them with rape, and getting them to confess to anything they want.
That was a blood libel, the kind that comes second nature to black supremacists like Richard Wright and media monsters like Ron Grossman. To that end, Grossman withheld from his readers that the police in Chicago and Los Angeles cracked the case, and determined that Nixon and Crosby were the same man through forensics: a fingerprint.
Although Wright did charge the fictional Bigger Thomas with two murders (though he tried to sell the first as accidental), he had a fall-back out: White racism is so pervasive that it “causes” black men like Bigger to commit heinous crimes. And Wright didn’t inform his listeners about the great quantity of Nixon/Crosby’s crimes.
Thus, Wright and Grossman insinuate that all violent, racist, black criminals are innocent.
Richard Wright was one of the godfathers of the racial profiling hoax, and the notion popularized by the murder cult, the nation of islam, that no black is obliged to obey "the White man's laws."
I wish I could say that Ron Grossman is unique, but he is a model of the banality of media evil. University j-schools churn out Ron Grossmans assembly-line style. If a journalism student reveals any honest or decent tendencies, he gets defamed and expelled, the way black supremacist journalism professor Tracy Owens Patton of the University of Iowa defamed and expelled student Jay Gardner already 20 years ago. (Teacher ed schools function the same way.)
Presently, the pretend encylopedia, the msm, and the antiversity are all equally dishonest and evil. A Gleichschaltung has been imposed.
‘Twasn’t always so. Consider the reportage on Nixon/Crosby in 1938, which Grossman condemns. The language was very strong, and in my liberal past, I am sure I would also have condemned it. Now I believe that it is commendable. Decent people of all levels of education are supposed to react to a Robert Nixon with outrage. It is the people like Richard Wright and Ron Grossman who are the perverse ones, the evil racists.
This is a long, sordid story that goes back over 100 years, but it wasn’t until the 1960s that apologists for racist, black cut-throats set up political strongholds in all major American institutions.
Circa 1960, leading institutions openly committed a reversal of reality and morality. “Experts” spoke of racist, black serial killers as the victims of “police terror.” I shall have to put this matter off for a later essay or ten.
"Robert Nixon, seated left, and Earl Hicks, seated right, sign murder confessions before three grand jurors in Chief of Detective John L. Sullivan's office at Detective Bureau offices in 1938. The jurors are Charles H. E. Arnold, William Caunt and Timothy Deneen." N.S.: The above photo would, for Ron Grossman, embody the quintessence of White supremacism.

“if she loses, she will literally be tasked with certifying the election that she has just lost…
“the vice president oversees the counting of electoral college votes and announces the results. they can still do this if they are a presidential candidate and it’s happened multiple times throughout history.
“both the 12th amendment to the U.S. constitution and federal law say the president of the senate, which is a role that’s filled by the vice president, oversees the count of electoral votes.
“according to politico, Harris has promised that ‘she won’t interfere’ with a peaceful transition of power…
“on jan. 6, 2025, [fake] vice president Kamala Harris is set to preside over congress and count the electoral votes that will make either her — or Donald Trump — the 47th president of the United States.

World series, 1974
Game 1, L.A.
Dodgers vs. A’s. Not an exemplary game, with so-so starting pitching, fielding errors by both teams, and little power in evidence, save for a homer by-guess who-Mr. October! Fortunately for Oakland, they had Rollie Fingers and Catfish Hunter for relief and the A’s eked out the win, 3-2. Alvin Dark was the Oakland manager, taking over from Dick Williams, who led them to victory the previous 2 years, but quit in dispute with the much-hated owner, Charlie Finley. Cary Grant was in the audience-it’s like watching footage of The Glory That was Rome! Also, we got a glimpse of Casey Stengel, wearing a stunning grey pinstripe suit, very classy.
Game 2, Sunday from L.A.
A better game today, much better pitching by Vida Blue (A’s) and Don Sutton (Dodgers), though Blue faltered at mid-point and Sutton held on till nearly the end, getting the deserved win, 3-2. There was an unusual twist provided by Mr. Finley, who was always thinking up ways to “improve” baseball: the “designated runner”! From wikipedia:
“Herb Washington was the only ‘designated runner’ to appear in a World Series. Washington was a track star with no baseball experience whom the A’s Charles Finley signed solely to appear as a pinch runner in late-game situations. His stats for 1974 were 92 games, zero at bats, 29 runs scored, 29 stolen bases, but he was caught stealing 16 times. Sure enough, with the A’s trailing 3–2 in the ninth inning of Game 2, Washington pinch ran. Just after announcer Vin Scully said that Washington better be careful because pitcher Mike Marshall has a good pickoff move, he was promptly picked off first base.”
In the audience today: Ernie Borgnine, Walter Matthau, and... Vincent Price (with a little girl I’d assume was his daughter)!
One gripe: the announcers (Gowdy, Scully, and Kubek-the latter can hardly get a word in sidewise) were incredibly annoying with their nonstop yammering, filling every moment with blathering trivia as if this were a radio broadcast. Both games were on the slow side, and the incessant talk made them seem even longer!
Still, would you rather be living in 1974-or today?

"fcc is looking into cbs' editing of kumalot harris' interview"
GRA: The fcc is as politically compromised--if not more, by tds--as any other government entity (e.g., fbi) and afflicted by the opposite syndrome, democratic agenda leniency (dal), which allows democommies to take over our airwaves in whatever manner they choose, to push wokeness and communism. A lawsuit, by cbs, seems likely to me, to prevent any forced transcript release.
“(zh) cbs noise has been formally issued with an fcc complaint regarding its surreptitious editing of Kamala Harris’ 60 minutes interview.
“the complaint charges that the network engaged in significant and intentional news distortion.
“edited and unedited portions of the interview were shared side by side as it became clear cbs was attempting to make Harris appear less incompetent.
“Fox news reports that the center for American rights argues that the discrepancies 'amount to deliberate news distortion — a violation of fcc rules governing broadcasters’ public interest obligations.
“the complaint seeks to force cbs to release an unedited transcript of the interview to set the record straight.
“'This isn’t just about one interview or one network,' car president Daniel Suhr said in a statement.
“'this is about the public’s trust in the media on critical issues of national security and international relations during one of the most consequential elections of our time,' Suhr continued.”

TCM’s Film Noir of the Week Saturday Night-Sunday Morning at 12:30 and 10 a.m. ET is Byron Haskin’s Too Late for Tears (1949), with Lizabeth Scott, Dan Duryea, Don DeFore, Arthur Kennedy and Kristine Miller.
Film Noir Guide: “Scott and Kennedy are unlucky enough to have a bag containing sixty thousand dollars thrown into their convertible by mistake. The dough, which was intended for Duryea, causes big marital problems, because the greedy Scott wants to keep it and Kennedy wants to turn it in to the police.
“Scott is excellent as the femme fatale who’ll do anything to keep her newfound wealth. Duryea plays his usual bad-guy role with gusto, this time as a crooked P.I., who’s adept at slapping women around but who’s no match for Scott in the guts department.
“DeFore is the mysterious stranger who comes to the aid of Kennedy’s sister (Miller), who’s trying to figure out why her brother has suddenly disappeared. Also known as Killer Bait, this is a fast-moving and enjoyable crime drama.”
David in TN: Eddie Muller recycles another one.
N.S.: True, David, but at least it’s a good one, with tremendous performances by Scott and Duryea.
And it’s not his “usual performance.” Year after year after the war, he played one heavy after another, but unlike some of the biggest names in the business (e.g., Burt Lancaster and Lee J. Cobb) he never gave a duplicate performance. Every bad guy he played was unique.

GRA: According to Breitbart, dem candidate Kumalot Harris decided to make a comedy video with Molly Shannon that was supposed to draw a few laughs from the mostly Catholic crowd, since harris decided to skip the traditional event.
And it did get a few laughs—very few. It “was shockingly bad,” according to attendees, “not funny in the least.”
Well, she can blame Molly Shannon, just like she blames President Trump for everything gone wrong in the biden administration.
No sense of humor.

P.S.: It's npw 10-5, after five. The federal crime dodgers really want to close this one out.
Make that 10-6, in the top of the sixth, off a Mookie Betts solo shot offf of Stanek.

"(Breitbart) cardinal Timothy Dolan, the archbishop of new york, expressed dismay earlier thursday regarding Harris’s absence.
“'the Al Smith dinner is not red or blue. it’s red, white and blue. it’s all about patriotism, it’s all about the country, and it’s all about humor,” Dolan told the good newsroom, as Breitbart news noted.
GRA: Now that I think about it, kumalot harris has zero sense of humor, something I consider extremely important in a potus candidate. Trump definitely does, biden has a nasty one, but harris's sense of humor is mia--like her brain.
