Houston Woman Shot During Attempted Robbery To Steal Her Cell Phone




[video embedded]
[From article]
Courtney had just taken out the trash around 8 p.m. Thursday in the 12900 block of Windfern Road.
She then walked back to her friend’s apartment at the Windfern Meadows complex when an armed man cornered her before she could get inside.
“He was like, hey, let me get that phone,” recalled Courtney. “I was like, I’m not giving you my phone sir. He’s like, I’m going to shoot you, so I put my hands up.”
Courtney crouched to the ground right outside her friend’s door and braced for the worst.
“I looked down the barrel and was like no please don’t shoot me,” explained Courtney. “It was like a pop.”
The bullet grazed Courtney’s head, and she wasn’t willing to be at shot at again.
Her friend opened the door after hearing the shot, and Courtney stumbled inside. Before they could close the door, the man tried to push his way in.
“We were both pushing on the door trying to shut it. He got it open this much,” said friend Jennifer Pauley. “We pushed it as hard as we could and locked these locks as fast as we could.”
Pauley’s 6-year-old granddaughter was also inside the apartment. There was no way she was letting the man inside.

Mexican Gangs Responsible For Bank Robbery Homicide In Stockton CA




Beloved wife and mother Misty Holt-Singh was killed when she was caught in the crossfire of a shootout between the bank robbers who took her hostage and the Stockton police.

[From article]
The three suspects in a bank robbery gone wrong who used a married mother as a human shield during a high-speed chase and gun battle with police are believed to be part of a notorious street gang, authorities said.
Misty Holt-Singh was one of three women - another customer and a bank employee - taken hostage and used as human shields during shootout that saw 20 officers fire shots and three of the getaway SUV's six occupants including her die.
A 19-year-old gang-banger was taken alive by police and two of the hostages pushed from the moving vehicle after being shot are miraculously expected to survive their injuries, authorities said.
[. . .]
The Nortenos are a notoriously-violent street gang ravaging parts of California as they wage war with rival gangs, especially the Surenos.
Norteno is Spanish for "northerner,' and sureno is Spanish for 'Southerner.'
Both rival groups were born in the California prison system during the 1980s and 1990s.
Branches of Surenos include the infamous MS-13, which has been referred to by authorities in the past as the world's most dangerous street gang.
Members are predominantly Mexican and make money through drug sales and human trafficking, but the bulk of their profits come from selling drugs.

Black Thug Punches Pregnant White Woman Clerk, Robs Till


embed
[From article]
Surveillance video recorded Wednesday afternoon at a Pensacola store shows a man violently punching a female clerk in the face and then robbing the business.
Police said a man walked into a Boost Mobile store, put his phone in his pocket, reached across the counter and punched the employee in the face.

WHDH-TV Boston reported the woman is pregnant. Shameful that she needed to work in an unprotected environment. Worse that plastic screens are needed these days.

Professional Fighters Thwart Los Angeles Hotel Armed Robbery

Los Angeles: On November 2, 2011, at around 11:40 p.m., Rampart Division officers responded to a radio call of an "Assault suspect armed with a gun" at a hotel located in the 300 block of
N. Vermont Avenue. When the officer's arrived, they saw a man on the ground being held by two citizens.

Shortly before police arrived, the desk clerk at a local hotel took notice of a man with a back pack who walked into the lobby and began to suspiciously look around. He asked the clerk about the price of a room, and then pointed a gun at him and demanded money. The suspect walked around the counter where the clerk stood and told him to open the cash register. The clerk, fearing he was going to be shot, opened the register and gave the suspect money.

During the robbery, an elevator door opened, and two hotel guests who happened to be martial arts experts visiting Los Angeles from Oregon for a martial arts' tournament heard the clerk's cry for help and immediately took action. The pair grabbed the suspect who was holding a gun in his right hand. During the tussle with the suspect, the Good Samaritans repeatedly asked him to drop the gun and stop struggling. The pair was finally able to wrestle the gun from the suspect and took him to the ground with a leg sweep and then held him on the ground until Rampart Division officers arrived.

The suspect, identified as 31-year-old Luis Rosales, a resident of Los Angeles, was taken into custody without further incident. In addition, a loaded 9mm handgun and the money taken from the cash register were found inside Rosales' backpack. Rosales was booked for armed robbery with a firearm. His bail is set at $101,250.
