The subject line, and your latest comment, are exactly why you guys got

Probably that Trump has no interest in becoming a dictator, even if it
was possible, which it isn't.

Bullshit.

Given that the Supreme Court has given him absolute immunity, it is entirely
possible and in fact guaranteed.

It does not matter whether the comparison works. What matters is
what idjt does. Does past performance predict future activities?

Actually it did work, with Republicans.

They WANT another Hitler. Dictator on
day one, detention camps for undesireables,
jailing reporters, censoring networks,
deporting US citizens, banishment of "mental
defectives". It is the Fourth Reicha and
Trumpists cannot get enough of it.

OAKLAND — A man was being sought in the attempted rape of a woman Jan. 19 at a business in the Melrose district, police said.

Authorities released a video surveillance image of the man and have also offered reward money in an effort to identify him.

The woman was attacked about 9:30 a.m. Jan. 19 in a business in the 4700 block of International Boulevard. Police said the man entered the business, began grabbing the woman and pulled her pants down.

She was able to fight back and run outside to safety, police said.

The man fled before police arrived. He was last seen going westbound on International Boulevard toward High Street.

He is described as Black, aged 35 to 45, between 5 feet 10 inches and 6 feet 2 inches with a medium build, medium length black curly hair that covers his ears and a receding hairline. He wore a green military jacket, black pants and black shoes and had a green backpack.

Police and Crime Stoppers of Oakland are offering up to $7,500 in reward money for information leading to the man’s arrest. Anyone with information may call police at 510-238-3641 or 510-238-7950 or Crime Stoppers at 510-777-8572.

The trail went cold for nearly a decade until police got the man’s fingerprints due to a minor traffic violation in 2016.

A man who broke into the homes of three Berkeley women and sexually assaulted them in 2008 was convicted Monday as part of a plea deal and sentenced to 24 years in state prison.

Johnny Dunbar, who was 16 at the time of the assaults, raped two of the women. He used a knife to coerce his first victim and a gun to confront his second one, according to police. Dunbar also used a knife to try to force a third woman to orally copulate him but was “scared off” before he could succeed, police said after his arrest.

Police found fingerprints and collected DNA from the sex crimes, which took place in the same North Berkeley neighborhood over just one month in the summer of 2008. But the evidence didn’t match anyone in the system. The trail went cold and Dunbar evaded detection for nearly a decade.

That changed in March 2016 when Berkeley police pulled him over on a minor traffic violation. Police collected his fingerprints as part of that case and ultimately found their man: Subsequent forensic analysis matched Dunbar’s prints to those found on a windowsill after the first rape, on June 21, 2008.

Detectives then collected Dunbar’s DNA. It matched all three sexual assaults.

BPD arrested Dunbar on July 6, 2016, at his Delaware Street home not far from the North Berkeley BART station. During the arrest, police also found thousands of dollars in cash and evidence of drug dealing, according to court papers.

Two days later, the Alameda County district attorney’s office charged Dunbar with two counts of forcible rape, one count of forcible oral copulation and one count of attempted oral copulation. Dunbar, who was then 24 years old, was charged as an adult.

Since that time, the case has moved through the court system at a glacial pace. Initially, Dunbar’s defense attorney, Ernesto Castillo, attempted to get his client’s case moved to juvenile court. He was unsuccessful.

On Monday, at long last, the case was scheduled for a 9 a.m. preliminary hearing, which is a sort of mini-trial where the prosecution puts forward the evidence it believes will allow a judge to order a defendant to stand trial.

This type of hearing, called a “px” for short, generally happens within a year or so of arrest. But it can take longer if a case is complex or the charges are particularly serious.

The px is often the first time evidence in a criminal case becomes public. Key witnesses testify and experts take the stand.

The burden of proof for a preliminary hearing is much lower than at trial, however. The prosecution doesn’t put on its whole case and the defense often presents no evidence. The judge must determine only that a reasonable person could believe that the defendant may have committed the crime.

On Monday, Dunbar’s scheduled preliminary hearing didn’t happen at the appointed time, however.

Instead, after taking some time in the courtroom to finalize a deal they had been working on, Castillo and prosecutor Melissa Demetral told Judge Andrew Steckler that Dunbar would change his not-guilty plea in the case in exchange for an agreed-upon sentence. They announced the deal just after 10:30 a.m.

As part of the agreement, Dunbar entered no-contest pleas and was convicted of the June 21, 2008, forcible rape of the first woman he assaulted, along with the July 8, 2008, forcible rape, as well as the forcible oral copulation, of the second woman.

For each of those three counts, he will be sentenced to eight years in prison, to be served consecutively, for a total of 24 years.

Dunbar also entered a no-contest plea and was convicted of attempted forcible oral copulation in connection with the third woman’s assault, on July 21, 2008. That carries a four-year sentence to be served concurrently, meaning it will not add additional prison time.

During the hearing, in response to explanations and questions from Judge Steckler, Dunbar said he understood the terms of the agreement and waived his right to a jury trial.

Steckler confirmed that Dunbar, who is now 30 years old, understood that the convictions would count as four strikes against him and that, when he is released, he will have to register as a sex offender.

Dunbar, who wore the red, short-sleeved shirt of his jail scrubs along with matching red-and-white-striped pants, spoke quietly and answered only “yes” or “no” to the judge’s questions.

Berkeleyside was the only attendee at the hearing.

Dunbar is scheduled to return to Steckler’s courtroom, at the René C. Davidson Courthouse in Oakland, for his formal sentencing July 14.

Berkeley Police Sgt. Sean Ross, who ran the sex crimes unit at the time of the stranger rape series in 2008, said the attacks “gripped the entire community with fear.”

“Dunbar’s crime spree of sexual assaults and burglaries in the summer of 2008 forever altered the lives of three women,” Ross said. “This plea deal brings the closure the survivors and the community needed.”

If only our lazy white ancestors didn't need black people to do all their
work back in the slavery days we wouldn't have them all over the place.

Yet that fat-assed black Democrat hose-monster whore Fani Willis found time to engage in lawfare against Donald Trump.

His DNA was found as the state works through a backlog of rape kits first uncovered by 11Alive, TEGNA and USA TODAY in a national investigation.

A man who investigators have connected to at least 15 sexual assault and rape cases has been indicted on the charges when his DNA turned up in a handful of previously untested rape kits.

The Fulton County District Attorney's Office announced that 54-year-old Dandre Shabazz was indicted by a grand jury for a series of sexual assaults that occurred between 2001 and 2005.

► Hundreds of rape, physical abuse kits sat untested for years in Ga.

According to the district attorney's office, the defendant drove up to women and lured - or forced - them inside before driving them to a park or abandoned home where he sexually assaulted them. The district attorney's office said that in every incident, Shabazz held a gun and forced the victims to engage in sexual intercourse and sometimes oral sodomy against their will.

He never used a condom and left DNA in over a dozen cases. But even though the women all reported the attacks, their rape kits went untested for years - and Shabazz never saw charges for those cases.

He was arrested only months after his final alleged attack in 2005 on charges of armed robbery where he was sentenced to prison with possible release in 2019. Now, new charges could push that date back much further.

PHOTOS | GBI adds employees to handle backlog of rape kits

The serial rape case came to District Attorney Paul Howard's attention in 2017 when sexual assault kits were tested as part of the state's attempt to process a backlog of untested rape kits stored at Grady Memorial Hospital.

The kit that originally tied Shabazz to the other cases was dated back to 2003. Authorities said it contained a DNA match. It soon matched DNA in a series of other rape cases.

The district attorney forced a taskforce in 2018 to pour through data from sexual assault kits with the goal of investigating and indicting cases. The task force then found matches in the case and contacted victims - all of whom had been waiting for several years for their attacker to be caught.

► #TesttheKits: Thousands of rape kits go untested

The results come after a 2015 joint investigation by TEGNA and USA TODAY that revealed that, around the country, rape kits sat in storage untested years after they were taken.

At the time, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation had a backlog of about 270 untested kits. The cause behind the sky-high number of untested kits is debatable. Some blame lack of resources and technology while others said they were simply lost to time.

Whatever the reason, the GBI was awarded $2 million to eliminate the backlog and ultimately hired a third-party company to help test them.

The company is now testing 100 out of 250 new kits the GBI receives each month and has identified an estimated 250 suspects through the criminal database.

Yet that fat-assed black Democrat hose-monster whore Fani Willis found time to engage in lawfare against Donald Trump.

More than 200 rape and physical abuse kits have been sitting at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta (CHOA) for years untested.

The GBI confirmed this morning to 11Alive News that the oldest untested kit dates back to 2006.

In all, 211 kits for rape, sexual abuse of physical abuse performed on kids ranging from 1 to 18 years old, were left at three CHOA hospitals: Scottish Rite, Egleston and Hughes Spalding. Agents have picked up the kits in the last week for them to be tested at the state's lab in Dekalb County.

Now authorities are trying to figure out how to re-approach the victims years -- in some cases a decade -- after the initial assault.

The GBI was notified of the untested kits due to a new state law which set deadlines for when rape kits must be sent to the state's lab.

Representative Scott Holcomb, (D) Atlanta, spearheaded the effort to pass the legislation.

"There was a clear lack of communication. And I don't know why no action was taken," Holcomb said.

A representative from CHOA said that in 211 cases of sexual or physical abuse, law enforcement either didn't pick up the tests or deemed them unnecessary.

In fact, in many instances, CHOA claims law enforcement told them to destroy the tests, which is against CHOA policy.

“For some of these cases, the cases were not adjudicated, they were not tried, someone pled, charges were dropped, etc. Cases like that we’ve been told, you can get rid of this evidence, but we don’t. We hold onto it," Dr. Daniel Salinas, Chief Medical Officer for CHOA said.

The new law came after 11Alive was part of a TEGNA-USA TODAY investigation in July 2015. That investigation uncovered more than 70,000 sexual assault kits containing forensic evidence from rape, sexual battery and other crimes have never been sent to crime labs for testing.

FULL INVESTIGATION | #TestTheKits

Those figures, drawn from a small sample of 18,000 U.S. police agencies, indicate the nation's count of untested sexual assault kits likely reaches well into the hundreds of thousands.

TEGNA stations across the country facilitated petitions asking lawmakers to require mandatory testing.

The new Georgia law requires providers who administer rape kits to immediately notify local law enforcement if requested by the victim. Investigators then have 96 hours to collect the evidence and 30 days to turn it over to the GBI for analysis.

"In terms of the number of children we have in our community, it's absolutely stunning," said Holcomb.

CHOA told 11Alive News the new state law works nicely with their current policies of notifying law enforcement.

“None of these cases were forgotten, none of these evidence kits were forgotten because we have a process where we review all of these cases - every one of them - on a weekly basis," Dr. Salinas said.
