The Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office arrested nine individuals after they took part in a street racing event held earlier this month.

On Saturday, January 9, 2021, undercover deputies were on scene when the street racing began in the parking lot of the Bass Pro Shops, located at 10501 Palm River Road in Tampa. Prior to the event, HCSO had received information it was happening and was taking a proactive approach to curb street racing as part of "Operation Burnout."

Once the street racing was underway, deputies observed several individuals doing burnouts, donuts, and driving recklessly through the parking lot. With the assistance of HCSO's Aviation Unit, marked patrol units moved into the parking lot. At this time, the crowds began to disperse from the scene. Nine men were arrested for Reckless Driving in connection to the street racing event.

Throughout the course of the operation, deputies, along with HCSO's Motor Unit, also conducted 139 traffic stops and issued 106 citations and 40 warnings.

The New York Young Republican Club (NYYRC) is staging a protest in Zuccotti Park in New York City to “re-occupy Wall Street” on Jan. 31.

The group intends to protest Wall Street’s efforts to crack down on amateur investors who threaten to bring hedge fund firms to their knees by raising the price of so-called “meme” stocks, like GameStop and AMC, which have skyrocketed exponentially over the past few days. GameStop’s stock remained below $5 per share until recent days, when it soared by over 8,000 per cent compared to just a few months ago.

In response to the volatility of the stock, the chat app Discord censored the server of the users responsible for driving up prices, blaming it on “white supremacists.” On Thursday, the financial investment app Robinhood blocked purchases of GameStop and other stocks, essentially forcing users to sell their shares, driving down the value of the stocks.

The one-way trades allow hedge funds invested in shorting GameStop and other stocks to recuperate their losses in a not-so-free market.

The NYYRC intends to “re-occupy” Wall Street because members are “sick of Wall Street bailouts on the taxpayer dime, while the little guy gets stomped.” Gavin Wax, the organizer of the protest, spoke with Rebel News to explain the group’s intent.

"First the government drives millions of Americans into destitution and unemployment by shutting down the economy and their businesses. Then when the average Joe Schmo wants to make a few bucks trading on the market, he is shut down because Wall Street ended up losing to anons from Reddit. Where are the regulators? Nowhere,” said Wax.

“We have a two-tiered system in this country,” he added. “The elites and everybody else. It has been on full display with the shutdown of trading on select stocks.”

“The New York Young Republicans will try to do a small part in bringing attention to this issue by re-occupying Zuccotti park, the site of the original Occupy Wall Street protests, in order to send a message to Corporate America that we will no longer bail you out or run cover for you as you silence and bankrupt us," said Wax.

Proud Boys Chairman Enrique Tarrio Speaks Out – Describes Informant Story Where He Helped Stop Human Trafficking.

“If people want to shame me for making this extremely difficult decision, so be it, I will die on that hill. At the end of the day, I was in charge and they had minimal involvement and did not deserve to bear the brunt of my poor decisions. When you are faced with these circumstances, it separates those with courage and those who only look out for themselves,” Tarrio told TGP.

However, speaking exclusively with TGP, Tarrio is breaking his silence about his motivations and why he decided to cooperate with law enforcement after being arrested in 2012. At the time of being charged, several of Tarrio’s family members who had helped him re-sell surplus diabetic testing at a lower cost, were also charged. After they all refused to turn on each other, Tarrio tells us that it was implied that if he cooperated with law enforcement on a few instances, that it would greatly reduce the sentence of his family members caught up in the charges, both of whom were younger.

According to the Reuters report, Tarrio’s cooperation lead to the end of a human trafficking ring. Who wouldn’t do make sacrifices to protect their family and lock up human traffickers? They sex traffic children and pump our communities full of poison.

Interestingly enough, the Judge and prosecutor in Enrique’s 2012 case continue to give quotes and make media appearances outing Tarrio as a one-time informant.

The Judge was appointed by Bill Clinton, a man who was best friends with infamous human trafficker and serial pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, no surprise there.

When it comes down to it, Tarrio said he would step up to protect his family and friends again, but has no faith that cooperation with the government is a safe pathway for anyone, especially when they will out you to the same violent criminal underworld you might be helping them expose.
