A 27-year-old Nazareth woman was charged Wednesday with causing the death of a person by shooting him up with meth after he overdosed on fentanyl in February, court papers say. Marissa Metler, of the 400 block of West High Street, was arraigned midday before District Judge Jacqueline Taschner on charges of third-degree murder, drug delivery resulting in death and two counts of possession with intent to deliver drugs, court papers say.
Metler told police she got the meth from the pipe, court papers say. A Pennsylvania State Police lab confirmed the residue in the pipe was meth, police said.
She's now looking at 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
And girls just wanna have fun.

Disgraced lawyer Michael Avenatti had a tearful day in court on Monday as he was sentenced to 30 months in prison for attempting to extort footwear giant Nike to the tune of possibly as much as $25 million.
I'd assumed that, being a lawyer and all, he'd be allowed to simply walk. Apparently, not so. That's good; prison seems like a good thing for him - although he still should have received a longer sentence, it's still better than expected.

Portland, Ore. — FM News 101 learned late Wednesday night that in response to the criminal indictment of Officer Corey Budworth, the bureaus entire Rapid Response Team resigned. Sources with the Police Bureau say the team voted unanimously to disband.
Can't blame them - many in this town display their contempt for cops on a regular basis.

The City of Portland, Oregon has lost 115 police officers since July 2020. 74 retired and 41 resigned.
The situation for police officers in Portland is so bad that nearby Spokane, Washington is advertising for cops in Portland in a very public billboard campaign.
They'll doubtless do better in Spokane. Portland's essentially a lost cause.

BOSTON (CBS) – Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev has filed a lawsuit over his treatment at a supermax prison.
The hand-written complaint, originally filed in January, was amended March 5. Among other things, Tsarnaev claims the defendants – which include BOP, the company that administers the prison and Attorney General Merrick Garland – are interfering with his ability to communicate with his family, placing a hold on his money and hurting his chances of avoiding a death sentence.
I'm surprised that he's still alive.

Black Lives Matter/Antifa have inflicted hundreds of riots in the past year. These riots have been incited by Democrat politicians, making a mockery of the latest impeachment spectacle, in which they tried to impeach a guy who was no longer in office for calling on his supporters to protest “peacefully and patriotically.” This will not be a problem going forward though, because leftists in Oregon (home to the Riot Capital of America, where police declared a riot for 100 consecutive nights) has found a solution:
Legislators in Oregon are examining a law on the books that now gives police authority to declare unlawful assemblies, which Portland police and other agencies used frequently during months of mass protests in the past year.
The American Civil Liberties Union of Oregon has called on the Legislature to repeal the law.
SEATTLE — Amid mounting layoffs in Washington state that have been linked to the COVID-19 pandemic, the need for security guards has jumped, a silver lining following a year of virus-related closures and street protests that have roiled the country and the state.

What brings a dozen Portland police officers out in such force? Why, to guard a couple of dumpsters. A Fred Meyer grocery in north Portland suffered a power failure during the recent storm, so they brought in a couple of dumpsters and began offloading perfectly good food into them. A bunch of the neighbors decided "hey, free food" and so the cops were called to protect the dumpsters.
Roughly a dozen Portland police officers faced off with a small group at a Northeast Portland Fred Meyer on Tuesday after people tried to take food that had been thrown away.

After an hour and a half, the situations were apparently resolved.

This time, the subset of Antifa that was in play is an ‘anti-colonialist’ group going by the name of ‘It’s Going Down’. This group has claimed responsibility for either some or all of the 41 attacks against railways in Washington State. Here’s a photo of a sticker on the back of their vehicle:
This is rich; one of the girls busted in their effort to install shunts on the tracks of a BNSF line worked for the democratics, so there's a direct connection (a shunt, if you will) between democratics and the terror group.
Ellen Brennan Reiche, 27, and Samantha Frances Brooks, 23, were arrested over the weekend by federal authorities in Bellingham, Wash. and charged with committing a terrorist attack on a railroad facility.
She has a great sense of humor, too, as you can see.
Reiche, who identifies as “non-binary” and uses “they/them” pronouns, was the deputy field organizer for Washington State Democrats, according to their now-deleted LinkedIn profile.
At least these two whack-jobs were caught. Some quality time in prison will likely do wonders.

A Bend man was experiencing depression as a result of his failing marriage so he went to his family physician, who counseled him on ways to improve his marriage and prescribed him marijuana and CBD.
The patient now claims in a lawsuit that all along, the doctor, Ronald Rosen, was having an affair with his wife.
So the doctor himself was behind the guy's depression, and actually made it worse. The patient's now seeking over $2 million.
