Alex Jones blames Democrats, leftist DAs after Infowars reporter brutally murdered



Alex Jones, the founder of Infowars, railed against the leftist policies of the Democratic Party and Soros-funded district attorneys after one of his reporters was brutally murdered in Austin, Texas.

Just before midnight on Monday morning, Austin police received a call about a shooting or stabbing on the 2300 block of Douglas Street in South Austin. When they arrived, they found a victim with signs of "obvious trauma," according to KXAN, and raced him to the hospital, where he died shortly thereafter.

Though initial news reports about the homicide did not name the victim, Jones and other members of the Infowars team soon learned he was Jamie White, one of their own.

"We sent some people over this morning when [White] didn't answer the phone. He's always here early, loves to work, loves to fight tyranny, loves to promote freedom," Jones said in a video posted to X. "And when they got to the apartment complex, there was yellow tape everywhere and blood all over the parking lot."

Now that White's family has been notified, Jones said he felt compelled to share the news with the Infowars audience. Jones described White as the "best writer and reporter" at Infowars and a true American "patriot."

'I lay all of this squarely at the feet of these DAs and of the Soros crime syndicate and of the Democratic Party.'

For now, few details about White's murder have been released. "This is pretty early on in the investigation, and the homicide unit will be releasing more information as they're able," said Leah Ratliff, public information officer for the Austin Police Department, according to Newsweek.

No suspect has been identified, but Jones claimed that the soft-on-crime and "defund the police" policies embraced by Democrats — especially district attorneys like Jose Garza of Travis County, Texas, who were elected to office thanks in large part to funding from leftist billionaire George Soros and his various activist groups — led directly to White's death.

"I lay all of this squarely at the feet of these DAs and of the Soros crime syndicate and of the Democratic Party. They are the ones that administratively cut the police, prosecute the police, even in cases that are 100% clear to be lawful, legal activities. And then you wonder why we can't get enough police," Jones explained.

"You murdered Jamie White," he continued. "You opened the door. You created the climate. You created the conditions on purpose."

Jones did briefly hedge, noting, "I'm not saying a leftist killed Jamie," but still blamed leftists in general and Garza specifically for turning Austin into "a war zone." Jones called Garza perhaps the "worst" district attorney in America and "an actual communist."

"He literally in Zoom meetings calls other city employees 'comrades,'" Jones said of Garza. "... He's doing exactly what he was put in by Soros to do."

Newsweek reached out to Garza's office for comment.

According to various online tributes, White was born in 1988, which means he was either 36 or 37 when he died. "He won't get to live out the rest of his life, now cut short. A young man," Jones said of White.

In his last activity on social media, White retweeted Elon Musk's comments on the nexus of violence, liberalism, and the mainstream media.

"Yeah, why are liberals so violent? Legacy media propaganda is a major part of the problem," Musk wrote.

Jones assured his listeners that "justice" will be served and that White will never be forgotten.

"We pledge that Jamie’s tragic death will not be in vain, and those responsible for this senseless violence will be brought to justice," Jones posted to X.

"Jamie’s important work will be carried on through Infowars, our readers, and our cherished listeners."

Alvin Bragg drops assault charges against man who fought back when vagrant attacked him with nail-studded chunk of wood



Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg (D) dropped assault charges against a Chinatown landlord who fought back when a vagrant attacked him with a nail-studded chunk of wood in late August, the New York Post reported.

Bragg’s office initially charged Brian Chin — a 32-year-old Harvard graduate student — with felony assault after the incident, the paper said.

'Instead of doing the right thing, [Bragg] used his office to pursue a case against me for nearly five months. It leads me to ask the question: How many other innocent people has he incarcerated?'

Chin spotted the vagrant lying on the ground outside the subway station at Chrystie and Grand Streets in Manhattan around 8:30 p.m. Aug. 24, the Post said. Chin allegedly kicked the male three times, the paper said, citing a criminal complaint.

Chin told the Post he approached the male because he recognized him as a local panhandler and wanted to make sure he was OK: “We have so many drug overdoses and deaths and pretty much every conceivable horror that you can imagine. Immediately, he woke up after that and just started screaming.”

The paper said the pair initially went their separate ways after the encounter — but both came back a few minutes later.

Chin said he returned because he was haunted by the slaying of his renter, Christina Yuna Lee, two years ago, the Post said. Chin blasted Bragg over Lee's 2022 killing, insisting it could have been prevented since the suspect in her killing had a lengthy criminal history.

“Especially after the murder, if someone is acting violent, I just like to stand by the front door, just to make sure that no one gets followed in, all my tenants are safe,’’ Chin noted to the paper.

More from the Post:

The homeless man did turn violent, breaking a wooden chair and swinging the nail-laden hunk of wood at Chin — who in turn knocked him down and punched him a half-dozen times before the assailant quit.

Blood gushed from the unidentified man’s face as he struggled to get to his feet when cops arrived, the complaint said. And when he tried to stand, he fell back and slammed his head into the subway station railing.

Authorities rushed him to Bellevue Hospital with facial and skull fractures, the complaint said. He was intubated and put on a ventilator afterward.

Chin told the paper he tried to calm him down but feared for his life during the fight: “I just wanted to get home to my wife and kids." Chin also told the Post that in the aftermath he felt "awful. I never want anyone to get hurt.”

The paper said the assault charges against Chin could have landed him in jail for up to seven years — until Bragg decided not to pursue them.

“It’s our job to thoroughly investigate and prosecute violent conduct, including incidents of alleged assault,” a representative for the Manhattan DA’s office said Sunday, according to the Post. “This case has been dismissed and, as a result, sealed by the court.”­

The process is the punishment?

Chin told the paper he's annoyed that the charges had been hanging over his head since the summer: “I am more angry than relieved because this is something that never should have happened."

He added to the Post that he "was treated like a violent perpetrator in the eyes of the law, and it has been five months of an unending, waking nightmare. … I woke up every day thinking that I would spend years in jail when I never committed a crime.”

Chin also told the paper that he had to resign from his teaching position because he no longer could pass a background check: "What was this for? It upended my life, everything I spent decades working for.”

He also noted to the Post that the homeless man later was charged with menacing and that it's “personally abhorrent that this case was ever brought.”

“With such an abundance of evidence from the very start, it was clear that I was not a perpetrator but a victim,” Chin told the paper. “Instead of doing the right thing, [Bragg] used his office to pursue a case against me for nearly five months. It leads me to ask the question: How many other innocent people has he incarcerated? How many were not so fortunate as to have been attacked on their own property and to have access to surveillance footage showing their innocence?”

The Post said Chin compared himself to Jose Alba — the New York City deli worker Bragg charged with murder after Alba stabbed an attacker to death in 2022. After public outrage over what many saw as self-defense, Bragg dropped all charges against Alba.

“How many more victims — how many more Jose Albas, how many more cases such as myself — will need to be at his hands before the politicians who have continually shielded him wake up to the fact that this is not how justice is conducted in this country? It’s not what New Yorkers deserve," Chin told the paper.

Chin's attorney Kenneth Gilbert told the Post that Bragg saved face by dropping his client's charges: “If it had gone to trial, it would have been an embarrassment for the prosecutor’s office."

4 fraternity members charged after pledge set on fire during party 'skit' and suffers 3rd-degree burns



Four members of a college fraternity in California are facing charges after a pledge was set on fire during a party, according to authorities.

San Diego County District Attorney Summer Stephan said in a statement released Monday that four members of a San Diego State University fraternity have been criminally charged for an alleged "skit" that resulted in a pledge being set on fire.

San Diego State University put the fraternity on an interim suspension.

Caden Cooper, 22; Lucas Cowling, 20; Christopher Serrano, 20; and Lars Larsen, 19, were all charged with recklessly causing a fire with great bodily injury, conspiracy to commit an act injurious to the public, and violating the social host ordinance. If found guilty of all the charges, the defendants face a maximum sentence of seven years and two months in prison.

The court imposed several conditions on the suspects, including not participating in any fraternity parties, not participating in any recruitment events for the frat, and obeying all laws, especially those related to illegal alcohol consumption.

The San Diego District Attorney's Office said the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity threw a large party at its frat house on the night of Feb. 17, 2024. The fraternity threw the party despite the university having placed the frat on probation for violating policies on alcohol and hazing, according to Fox News.

Cowling, Serrano, and Larsen had "pre-planned a skit during which Serrano would set Larsen on fire," according to the DA.

At some point, the "skit" got out of hand, and Larsen reportedly suffered burns on 16% of his body, primarily on his legs. Larsen spent weeks in the hospital for treatment of third-degree burns.

Cooper was the frat’s president, Cowling was on the pledge board, and Larsen and Serrano were pledges.

Larsen and Serrano were not of legal drinking age at the time of the incident but allegedly drank alcohol before the skit in Cowling's presence.

The district attorney accused Cooper, Cowling, and Larson of making a "concerted effort to thwart law enforcement’s efforts to investigate the incident by lying to law enforcement personnel, deleting evidence on social media, and instructing other fraternity members to delete evidence and not speak to anyone about the incident."

San Diego State University said it received an anonymous tip regarding the incident and then alerted university police.

The school launched an administrative investigation that "addresses both individual student conduct and the conduct of the organization involved."

San Diego State University put the fraternity on an interim suspension, which will temporarily halt all organizational activities while an investigation is conducted.

"The university has taken additional actions, but because of student privacy laws, those actions can not be disclosed," the school said in a statement on Wednesday.

The Phi Kappa Psi fraternity on Wednesday did not immediately respond to a request for comment from NBC News.

The defendants are scheduled to appear at a readiness hearing on March 18. A preliminary hearing is set for April 16.

DA reacts to store clerk fatally shooting 16-year-old armed robber: 'Once somebody puts a gun in your face, the rules change'



A pair of males armed with guns entered a New Orleans convenience store Tuesday evening and demanded cash, a store employee told WWL-TV.

One of them — 16-year-old Cecil Batiz — was seen on surveillance video pointing a gun with an extended magazine at a clerk working the cell phone counter at Sam's Meat Market and stuffing cash and other items in his pockets, the station said in a follow-up story.

'That clerk was in an obviously high-stress situation and saw the perpetrator still moving with a gun, and it's hard to second-guess his decision to use deadly force yet again.'

The other suspect, 18-year-old Teony Juarez, was wearing a black ski mask, WWL said.

As the suspects exited the store, the clerk at the phone counter pulled out a gun and opened fire, the station said. Batiz was struck in the abdomen, after which he collapsed, WWL reported.

Surveillance video also shows the clerk move out of camera range and return seconds later, shooting Batiz two more times as he moved on the store's floor, the station said. Batiz later died at a hospital, WWL reported.

The station, citing the initial police report, said Juarez returned fire and was struck in the right forearm as he ran from the store. WWL said an unknown woman drove Juarez to a hospital and departed as he entered. Juarez was treated for a gunshot wound, and police arrested him, the station said.

Juarez faces charges including armed robbery, aggravated battery, and illegal use of a weapon, WWL said, adding that his bond was set at $170,000.

The station said the clerk so far has not been charged.

Loyola Law Professor Dane Ciolino told WWL he doubts a charge against the clerk will come to pass: "That clerk was in an obviously high-stress situation and saw the perpetrator still moving with a gun, and it's hard to second-guess his decision to use deadly force yet again."

Ciolino added to the station that in Louisiana, unlike other jurisdictions, Juarez can't be held accountable for Batiz's death: "He can't be charged with a homicide crime because this killing was done by the victim rather than by a co-felon."

You can view a video report here that shows surveillance video of the armed robbery and shooting.

What did the district attorney have to say?

WWL said Orleans Parish District Attorney Jason Williams declined to discuss specifics about the case — but he did tell WWL Radio that "once somebody puts a gun in your face, the rules change."

Williams added that "it's painfully obvious to anyone who saw that video what those two people were doing in that store, and that shop owner did not ask for that exchange," the station noted.

As readers of Blaze News may recall, George Soros gave $220,000 to a Williams PAC, leading to his successful election in December 2020 on a criminal justice reform platform. But in October 2023, a pair of armed suspects carjacked Williams, and the Democrat's 78-year-old mother was in the black Lincoln Navigator at the time of the crime. The crooks stole some of his mother’s belongings, including her wallet and phone.

A month after the carjacking, Williams told WWL-TV he changed his thinking about crime and punishment, with the station saying he's "even reversed his positions on some of his strongest campaign promises." Williams recused himself from working on the carjacking case.

'My son is dead'

Memphis pastor shot in face unlikely to see proper justice thanks to leftist DA's office



Rev. Clemmie Livingston Jr. is the 71-year-old pastor of New Zionfield Baptist Church in Memphis, Tennessee. On Feb. 25, Livingston attempted to stop thugs from stealing a car just feet away from the doors of his church. One of the thugs shot him in the face while driving away, leaving the pastor for dead.

After multiple surgeries, Livingston told WREG-TV, "Laying there, I kept saying to myself that I'll be dead in a little while. Well, what would a person say when they bleeding in the manner that I was bleeding?"

"While I was down on my knees, let me tell you what [God] said. He said to me, 'Stop trying to die and start back living,'" said the pastor. "In my spirit and in my heart, I know that Jesus brought me through this."

Gwendoline Livingston, the pastor's wife, indicated Friday that Livingston is still wearing a face brace and may have to either undergo a bone graft or have a metal plate inserted in his jaw.

"I am still not able to eat like normal people, and, of course, my bone is still shattered down there," he told WHBQ-TV.

The Shelby County District Attorney's Office has given the pastor one more thing to be sore about.

R'Shunio Greer, 18, was arrested in May in connection to unrelated car theft and aggravated assault cases. WHBQ reported that investigators found photos of Greer in the victim's 2019 Corvette. He allegedly admitted to being at the scene of the robbery when the pastor was shot and driving one of two Camaros spotted at the scene by witnesses. The same Camaro was later wrecked during a police chase.

Greer was slapped with various charges including aggravated robbery and theft of property.

However, the Shelby County District Attorney’s Office — helmed by Steve Mulroy, a Democrat with a reputation for being soft on criminals who has reportedly received donations from Soros-linked organizations — dropped all but the theft charge against Greer in Livingston's case.

'I don't let things disappoint me such as this.'

Mulroy's office tried to blame the dismissal of the charges on witnesses failing to show up in court, but the pastor insisted that was simply not true, reported WHBQ.

"I was stunned when they said there were not any witnesses there, knowing that we were there," said the pastor. "That was the thing that shocked me."

"I don't let things disappoint me such as this," said Livingston. "I feel like the judicial system, they do what they want to do anyway."

After the pastor refuted the claim about witnesses showing up in the press, Mulroy's office effectively confirmed it had misled the public, indicating the aggravated robbery charge had been dropped despite witnesses having been present for the hearing.

Livingston indicated he will continue to pray about the situation, holding out hope that the accomplices referenced in Greer's statement will be brought in. The pastor expressed an interest in the rehabilitation of his attackers while in custody.

Livingston's case is far from the only one in Shelby County in which Mulroy's office has sought to let off criminals lightly. Mulroy recently indicated he would lean toward rehabilitation as opposed to incarceration for felons caught with illegal firearms, citing the need to address racial disparities.

Tennessee state Sen. Brent Taylor (R) told WMC-TV in a statement, "In a city plagued by gun violence, the thought that our DA will not aggressively prosecute felons in possession of a firearm is not only nonsensical, but it is dangerous. Our county is being targeted by restorative justice scheming groups because they know our DA is weak, compliant, and acquiescent. Not only is it harming our community, but it's harming law enforcement across the state."

Taylor notified Tennessee Lt. Gov. Randy McNally (R) last month of his intent to remove Mulroy.

"Public welfare demanding it, causes for such removal will be set forth in the Senate Joint Resolution, but shall include 'dereliction of duty' for failing to properly prosecute convicted felons in possession of a firearm," Taylor said in his letter.

McNally responded with words of encouragement, indicating he "wholeheartedly" supports the removal effort, reported the Tennessee Lookout.

"DA Mulroy's record of refusal to prosecute laws he does not personally care for is long-standing and clear. I believe it is time for him to go," said McNally.
