Police kill dog while arresting owner for videotaping

 

 

Published on Jul 3, 2013

Leon Rosby, 52, says Hawthorne, California police killed his rottweiler Max while he was being arrested. The man was filming the investigation of a robbery scene in Hawthorne Sunday evening, and as he was being handcuffed by police, the dog sprung out the window and lunged at the officers. One responded, firing several shots and killing the dog. The video has gone viral. It's a disturbing scene and some have also wondered if it illuminates other police tactics. Los Angeles community organizer Ron Gochez joins us to explain what happened.

Wordpress.com Censoring News Blogs.

As of June 17, 2013 Wordpress.com removed realnewsworldwide.com from there servers. They sent me an email saying that linking to news stories with a link was considered as a tos violation.  News world wide was a news aggregate site that checked all news posts for accuracy using the web to verify news content by cross referencing news points in the story.  The site was not a spam site now was it affiliated with any other news site or website.   It seems that the wordpress.com has gone to socialist nazi's and is out to censor any content that is presenting factual news.  

  At this time I would recommend that all news sites that are on wordpress.com remove there sites or stop posting on them and move to another service since they are all in violation of the wordpress terms of service. 


 I have spent six years on that site with 3 thousand stories that have been checked for news accuracy and were posted from news sites from all over the world.  The website views were approx 500, thousand to over 2 million depending on the counter being used.  


I think that wordpress.com needs to remove the admin who is censoring news sites on there dot com site.   Nine other blogs were also locked with the deletion of my user acct name.   This is totally unacceptable for anyone who is a blogger.  And especially me who has been blogging for the past 12 years and has reached to and estimated 9 million or more people over the years.   The site was about to be monetized and brought to something that could produce some income for me.  However with this setback I have decided that this option will not be feasible in the near future. 

I will be doing some posting here but it will be extremely limited while I look for other areas of income.  What wordpress has done is censor the free press.  And yes there were many stories there that were posted by me.

Wordpress.com Locks Out News World Wide From Posting

Wordpress.com Locks Out News 

World Wide From Posting

WordPress.com in "Designing the Moment" (Photo credit: Matt Thomas)

As of today Dec 19, 2012 News World Wide has been locked out from posting. Wordpress sent a flimsy dialog box that the site is locked because of content posting.  I am not drawing conclusions here but I would say that it was a few posts made about guns saving people from robbery and other crimes.  I have contacted the automatic team who is in irc and they looked into the issue and said that wordpress.com needs to contact me back to resolve the issue.  That was about 8 hours ago.   I have never had any problems with wordpress in the past.  If there is censorship happening I will relocate my site to another system.  Hopefully this can be resolved quickly.
