  Attack on Two Black Men In Pittsburg



A white man was arrested in Pittsburgh following a racially motivated stabbing incident late Thursday night that injured two Black men. The attacker, Chris Boswell, reportedly told the police that he had been instructed to kill all Black people and that the victims deserved to die. 

This event has further highlighted the ongoing crime and violence issues in the Downtown area, with business owners and residents expressing concern and fear for their safety, especially after dark. Boswell has been charged with ethnic intimidation, aggravated assault, and other offenses and denied bond. His court appearance is set for  April 25 2023.

Police Indicted  

Two Torrance officers have been indicted for the fatal shooting of Christopher DeAndre Mitchell in 2018. The officers, Anthony Chavez and Matthew Concannon had previously been cleared of wrongdoing by the District Attorney's Office, but current DA George Gascon reopened the case. Mitchell was found in a stolen car holding an air rifle, which the officers believed was a firearm.

Black Lives Matter activists protested against the previous DA's decision not to charge the officers, and Gascon campaigned on taking a closer look at law enforcement shootings. The officers have been charged with manslaughter.

 

 

Lewiston Maine Officials Receive White Supremacist Letters 


Lewiston officials have condemned white supremacist letters sent to them at City Hall from various white nationalist organizations. The one-page mailer mentions white supremacist conspiracy theories such as the "Great Replacement" and "AntiWhite" policies. While it is unclear how many Lewiston elected officials received the letters, Councilors Harriman, McCarthy, and Mayor Sheline rejected the hateful message and affirmed their support for Lewiston's immigrant and refugee community. 


Councilor Linda Scott spoke against white nationalist groups and expressed her pride in Lewiston's diverse community. Democratic leaders in the Maine House and Senate issued a statement condemning the letters and reiterating their zero-tolerance policy towards white nationalist groups.

Swastikas 


 Swastikas In Manistee MI

 


Swastika graffiti was found for the second time in under three years at the same intersection in Manistee. The most recent incident involved two swastikas found on the morning of April 3, written in chalk. In September 2021, a swastika was discovered at the same intersection in paint, and others were found and removed from other locations in Manistee. The former Manistee educator, Hank Cupp, drew the swastikas himself and reported the incident to the Manistee County Sheriff's Office. 

The Sheriff advised residents to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity. The incidents are believed to be targeted toward specific neighborhood residents. 

The city of Manistee, the Manistee Area Chamber of Commerce, and several townships within Manistee County have adopted a Racial Justice, Inclusion, and Diversity resolution.

Angela Davis Sells Out Venue With Controversy

Angela Davis' upcoming speaking appearance at College of the Canyons has generated strong reactions from both sides of the political spectrum. The event is sold out, indicating significant interest in her message. Some have questioned the college's decision to choose Davis over other progressive left-wing speakers without her controversial background.

 The $25,000 fee for her appearance reportedly came from a DEI grant for anti-racism discussions. Many have called for a balanced anti-racism speaker program, including suggestions for speakers with differing viewpoints, such as Ben Shapiro and Charlie Kirk. 

The editorial calls for various perspectives to be presented to students and expresses concern that the college needs to be more responsive to community concerns.
