Midwest City, Oklahoma: Midwest City Police have released surveillance video from a Walmart of a man who took a 2-year-old girl from a mother's shopping cart, and held a knife to the child's throat. Police Chief Brandon Clabes held a news conference Friday morning to reveal new details about the June 17 officer-involved shooting. Capt. David Huff shot and killed 37-year-old Sammie Lamont Wallace after he threatened the little girl.
The video released shows Wallace walking into the Walmart Neighborhood Market at Reno and Midwest Boulevard around 3 p.m. He's pushing a shopping cart and talking on a cell phone. The video shows Wallace circling the store until he sees a woman, identified as Alicia Keating, and her two daughters, ages 12 and 2. Wallace keeps walking but circles back to the frozen food aisle. While Keating's back is turned, Wallace grabs the child from the cart while the stunned 12 year old looks on. Wallace then walks up to the mother, hands her a cell phone and demands she call a police officer in Dallas. Keating begins to scream and pleads for the man to give her child back. The man pulls out a knife and threatens the little girl. That's when store employees approach the man and witnesses begin calling 911.

MALL MAUL NOTHING MUCH, AUTHORITIES REPORT
(Editor’s note: Colin Flaherty has done more reporting than any other journalist on what appears to be a nationwide trend of skyrocketing black-on-white crime, violence and abuse. WND features these reports to counterbalance the virtual blackout by the rest of the media due to their concerns that reporting such incidents would be inflammatory or even racist. WND considers it racist not to report racial abuse solely because of the skin color of the perpetrators or victims.) Videos linked or embedded may contain foul language and violence.
The black mob violence at Fort Lauderdale over the Memorial Day weekend was nothing much, said the chief of police, local media and business boosters.

The American Gun Owner - a brother with Down Syndrome
If you only follow liberal media and listen to President Obama, it would be easy to believe that gun owners are all bitter clingers, reckless hicks or criminals.
The truth is that the 100 million gun owners in America are among the most responsible, patriotic, family-oriented citizens in our nation.
This mischaracterization is one of the myths I want to dispel in my upcoming book, “Emily Gets Her Gun … But Obama Wants to Take Yours.” To do so, I’ve asked law-abiding gun owners to send photographs of themselves to be included in a spread in the book.

EGYPT OPPOSITION BLAMES U.S. FOR SUPPORTING MORSI REGIME
Obama addressed the situation in Egypt on Saturday explaining "The United States supported democracy in Egypt. It’s been challenging given there has not been a tradition of democracy in Egypt." he said. "Our most immediate concerns have to do with our embassies and consulates."
In June, the Secretary of State John Kerry quietly gave $1.3 billion in military aid to Egypt. The money was given a month after a memo admitted "we are not satisfied with the extent of Egypt's progress and are pressing for a more inclusive democratic process and the strengthening of key democratic institutions."

DELEGATE RON GEORGE HOLDS O'MALLEY ACCOUNTABLE FOR MORE JOB LOSS
Annapolis, MD—“Once again, within 24 hours we have two more examples of Maryland losing jobs. First, we learn from a Ball State annual national study that Maryland dropped to a D grade in manufacturing and then today we learn that Carnival Cruise lines has announced it is going to move its cruise ship, The Pride, from Baltimore,” said Delegate Ron George (R) Annapolis.
“Governor Martin O’Malley has created a crisis in Maryland as it relates to maintaining and creating private sector jobs. These job losses add further evidence to the ramifications of Martin O’Malley’s taxes, fees, and expanded government,” stated George.
“The fact that Maryland received such a poor score in terms of creating manufacturing jobs is unacceptable. This poor ranking followed by Carnival Cruise making the business decision to move The Pride out of Baltimore is just further evidence that we must build a new Maryland if we want to create new jobs,” George said.
“The Carnival Cruise line alone is more than $90 million dollars in economic activity and 220 jobs. Add to this the continued loss of so many manufacturing jobs across Maryland and it is clear for all to see we need a change,” said George.
George continued, “Once again the EPA is forcing an unworkable mandate on Maryland citizens and businesses. Instead of being out front challenging the EPA Governor O’Malley waits for another business to leave before he acts. This Governor is more interested in appealing to the far left in his quest for the presidency, thus sacrificing the future of Marylanders. His legacy is one of higher taxes, more regulation and broken dreams,” concluded George.

Obama, George W. Bush To Meet In Tanzania
The White House announced Monday that President Obama and his predecessor, George W. Bush, would meet Tuesday in Tanzania during the last stage of Obama’s weeklong trek through Africa.
Obama and Bush will both attend a wreath-laying ceremony Tuesday in Dar es Salaam to pay tribute to the 11 people killed at the U.S. Embassy there in 1998, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said.
Many had speculated that the two would cross paths since Bush is also in Tanzania this week for a conference on African women. First lady Michelle Obama and former first lady Laura Bush are also headliners at the event.
Carney said he did not expect the two presidents to make remarks during their joint appearance.

Bottled-Water Purchase Leads To Night In Jail For U.Va. Student
When a half-dozen men and a woman in street clothes closed in on University of Virginia student Elizabeth Daly, 20, she and two roommates panicked.
That led to Daly spending a night and an afternoon in the Albemarle-Charlottesville Regional Jail. Her initial offense? Walking to her car with bottled water, cookie dough and ice cream just purchased from the Harris Teeter in the Barracks Road Shopping Center for a sorority benefit fundraiser.
A group of state Alcoholic Beverage Control agents clad in plainclothes approached her, suspecting the blue carton of LaCroix sparkling water to be a 12-pack of beer. Police say one of the agents jumped on the hood of her car. She says one drew a gun. Unsure of who they were, Daly tried to flee the darkened parking lot.
"They were showing unidentifiable badges after they approached us, but we became frightened, as they were not in anything close to a uniform," she recalled Thursday in a written account of the April 11 incident.

Massive Shore Health Budget Cuts Trouble Area's Politicians
EASTON — Sen. Richard Colburn, R-37-Mid-Shore, Thursday called the culmination of events leading to the drastic cuts made by Shore Health System this past week the makings of "the perfect storm."
"Maryland hospitals really struck out on three fronts this year, with sequestration and Medicare cuts, hospital rate requests coming in low and rising overall health care costs," Colburn said. "They are in a real dilemma, and it's not just this state."
Colburn was only one of many concerned voices over the Mid-Shore's major health care provider announcing cuts to staff and services after a year of financial loss due to what it says are budget constraints that have been building over several years.
Shore Health System's President and CEO Kenneth Kozel said because Maryland hospitals are reliant on a state-regulating system to set the rates at which they are reimbursed for services, they must operate within a rigid budget, which, in combination with inflation and Medicare funding cuts due to sequestration, has had the effect of making hospital operating margins across the state the lowest in a 14-year history.

Greenwald On ‘Coming’ Leak: NSA Can Obtain 1bn Cell Phone Calls A Day, Store Them And Listen
The NSA has a “brand new” technology that enables one billion cell phone calls a day to be redirected into its data hoards and stored, according to the Guardian’s Glenn Greenwald, who said that a new leak of Snowden's documents was ‘coming soon.’
Calling it part of a “globalized system to destroy all privacy,” and the enduring creation of a climate of fear, Greenwald outlined the capabilities of the NSA to store every single call while having “the capability to listen to them at any time,” while speaking via Skype to the Socialism Conference in Chicago, on Friday.
Greenwald was the first journalist to leak Snowden’s documents, having travelled to Hong Kong to review them prior to exposure.
“What we're really talking about here is a globalized system that prevents any form of electronic communication from taking place without its being stored and monitored by the National Security Agency,” he said.

Ocean City Plane Crash Victims Identified
OCEAN CITY -- The bodies of the two victims in yesterday’s Ocean City plane crash have been recovered from the wreckage and positively identified.
The victims are identified as Thomas J. Geoghegan Jr., 43, of Ocean City, Md., and Joshua D. Adickes, 27, of Berlin, Md. Both men served as police officers with the Ocean City Police Department. The bodies o...f both victims will be transported to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Baltimore for autopsies.
Police divers from the Maryland State Police and Natural Resources Police worked throughout the morning and early afternoon to recover the bodies from the wreckage of the plane. The plane was about 30 feet below the ocean surface about one-quarter mile off the beach from 130th Street. Divers had to work in zero visibility and rough waters. Divers suspended operations about 1:15 p.m. today due to dangerous conditions caused by an approaching storm front.
The Nanchang CJ-6A aircraft was owned by Geoghegan. State Police investigators believe he was piloting the plane and Adickes was seated behind him in the only other passenger seat on the aircraft. Preliminary information indicates the plane took off from the Ocean City Airport between 3:30 p.m. and 3:45 p.m. yesterday. The destination is not known at this time.
National Transportation Safety Board and Federal Aviation Administration officials will be investigating the cause of the crash.
