SYDNEY - Australian police arrested on Wednesday an 18-year man who had allegedly expressed interest in committing a mass causality attack, motivated by right-wing ideology. Police said they expect to lay charges on Wednesday against the unidentified man from Albury, a small town 344 miles southwest of Sydney. “The male we’ve arrested has an extremely right-wing ideology and is focused on neo-Nazi, white supremacist and anti-Semitic material,” Australian Federal Police Assistant Commission Scott Lee told reporters in Sydney. Australia, a staunch U.S. ally, has been on heightened alert against the threat of home-grown radicals after several “lone wolf” attacks in recent years. A white supremacist gunman from Australia killed 51 Muslim worshippers in New Zealand last year. Australian intelligence agencies have regularly warned of an increased threat by right-wing aligned individuals since then.

As many as 5,000 of President Donald Trump’s supporters are expected to descend on the nation’s capital Saturday – just days before Electoral College votes are cast – to protest voter fraud in the Nov. 3 presidential election. Electors from all 50 states and Washington, D.C., meet in their respective state capitals Monday to formally cast votes for president based on the popular votes in each state. The demonstration is a way for Trump supporters to express their disillusionment and anger over the election. The permit application estimates upward of 5,000 people will gather on Dec. 11 and 12 in support of Trump, a considerably smaller figure than the tens of thousands who turned out in November.

This is what happens when more and more politicians embrace revolving door criminal justice policies: our communities suffer. We are seeing decades of historic crime reductions and the Renaissance of our urban communities being thrown away in record time. For what?

MIAMI BEACH – The search is on for the person who sucker-punched a Miami Beach man as he waited to cross a road. On November 21st, Cesar Martinez, 70, was at 10th Street and Alton Road when a man walked up from behind and hit him in the back of the head. A Good Samaritan rushed to Martinez’s side to help him as another passerby filmed the man as he walked away. Martinez was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital where he was treated. He told CBS4 he didn’t know the man and had no idea why he attacked. The incident was caught on surveillance video at a nearby Walgreens. Police have reviewed that and the cellphone video of the man captured by the passerby. Martinez celebrates his 71st birthday in four days. He said the best present would be an arrest. Anyone with information is urged to call Crime Stoppers at (305) 471-TIPS (8477).
