Hillcrest Nazis

Hillcrest Nazis operated openly on Hillcrest Road and Bandera yesterday directly in front of a Jewish synagogue in North Dallas.

The location targeted was Temple Emanuel. It has a large number of Jewish congregants throughout the Preston Hollow area.

This comes just one day after a group protested for Palestine shut down NorthPark Center. It follows an ongoing rise in antisemitism in North Texas.

Young works for Sherwin Williams as a salesman and attended Texas State University.

The neoNazis received national attention throughout social media and local Dallas news.

NorthPark Mall Protest

A NorthPark mall protest interrupted Black Friday Christmas shoppers in North Dallas yesterday by the Party for Socialism and Liberation.

The party called to “free Palestine” the same day a ceasefire had started in Israel.

Palestinians celebrated the ceasefire by lynching two members of their community in Gaza alleged to have collaborated with Israel.

NorthPark Center does have a Code of Conduct which states in part “Not staging any form of public event or protest…”

NorthPark Mall Protest

It is unclear why management allowed the protestors to continue. The mall regularly employs local law enforcement on an off duty basis.

NorthPark Mall Protest Part of Growing Antisemitism In North Texas

The Party for Socialism and Liberation conducted multiple protests at malls across America. NorthPark Center has a high concentration of Jews living in the immediate area.

JFK Assassinated Sixty Years Ago – Any New Lessons?

The assassination of Kennedy began what was a tumultuous decade of race riots amidst calls for new civil rights law.

Police in many southern cities cracked down on protestors ignoring calls for civil rights protections.

JFK Assassinated Sixty Years

Since then the police appear to better protect right wing protestors rights over the civil rights of others.

Kennedy’s last speech was planned to speak to the American middle, not the “fanatics.” He was specific in saying duty was not to party, but country.

Michael Fagan Pleads Guilty

Michael Fagan, 30, pleads guilty in the April 2023 road rage incident where he shot at an ATF agent in East Dallas.

Fagan pleads guilty to one count of assaulting a federal officer using a deadly or dangerous weapon. The plea came before U.S. Magistrate Judge Irma Carrillo Ramirez on Tuesday, October 31.

On April 6, an ATF agent stopped at a red light at the intersection of Garland Road and Gaston Avenue in East Dallas.

The agent observed the SUV’s driver, identified as Mr. Fagan,  inside the vehicle yelling and flailing his arms.

The ATF agent believed Fagan was having a medical emergency and asked if the driver was okay.

Mr. Fagan opened his driver-side door and began yelling “incoherently” at the agent. The agent instructed Mr. Fagan to get back in his vehicle.

Mr. Fagan re-entered his vehicle and retrieved a firearm. He then turned to face the agent holding a black semiautomatic pistol in his hand.

The agent ducked down below the dashboard and heard a gun fire.

The agent drew his weapon and fired three shots and hit Mr. Fagan once.

Mr. Fagan fled the scene and was later arrested after he was admitted to Baylor hospital.

Ten Car Break In

Ten Car Break In

A ten car break in this weekend in the area of Forest and Abrams has more Dallas residents frustrated by non-response by Dallas Police.

Dallas Police for years have claimed to be underfunded after multiple attempts to defund the police. Now though it seems they just don’t respond at all.

Ten Car Break In

Dallas moved to an online reporting system to avoid dispatching an officer, but these crimes appear to never be followed up on.

Dallas City Council seems more focused on virtue signaling on issues than tackling problems facing every day citizens.

Ten Car Break In

This vehicle break spree in is one of many incidents where vandals and/or petty thieves target Dallasites with crime.

This follows years of Dallas residents complaining Dallas police do not respond to issues including assaults against children.

Dallas Police have yet to respond to our request for comment.

Dallas County Ransomware

Dallas County employees are bracing for another cyber attack after a ransomware attack in May 2023 following issues in the City of Dallas.

The recent post showed on a list of active ransomware attacks committed by a person or group identified as “Play.”

Dallas County Ransomware

It states “private documents of Dallas County departments” will go up for sale on the dark web unless an unspecified ransom is paid by Friday.

Dallas county employees are frustrated they weren’t notified earlier given they could fall victim to identity theft.

The personal information of 8,600 county employees personal information is compromised. 

Almost two weeks later employees were notified of the security incident by a news release.

Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins stated “the investigation is still ongoing, we do not want to make premature assumptions…”.

Dallas County Ransomware Follows Dallas City Hall Attacks

The Dallas County ransomware incidents come just weeks after Dallas City Hall received reports about its ransomware incidents.

Both Dallas County and the City of Dallas seem grossly underprepared for the cyber fights coming to their front doors.
