How does Carlitos know where Jim Hoft surfs, and is there an app to covertly track a third party’s internet activity?
If so how can one defeat it?

The “anonymous source” for this story is Jim Hoft of Gateway Pundit.
Here’s a link that I posted in another topic that shows Gateway Pundit’s Jim Hoft posting a photo of Michael Brown holding a gun. Except that it wasn’t Michael Brown. Hoft deleted the photo without a correction and edited his own headline. Is that a credible source by this blog’s standards? No, it is not.
If the officer indeed suffered an orbital fracture, I hope that it comes out when the facts are presented.

Go ahead, surf over to Gateway Pundit and see if you can find a correction on the misidentified photo. My only question is whether Hoft started this nonsense, or only posted some nonsense that he saw on Facebook that was “too good to check.”

Hawkins – Frances Robles has moved up from the Miami Herald but is still being fed her information directly by the “Scheme Team.”
daleyrocks (bf33e9) — 8/20/2014 @ 11:42 amIf only Carlitos was as dogged in his denunciations of leftwing bloggers or Soros funded disseminators of disinformation and blatant lies.
Colonel Haiku (2601c0) — 8/20/2014 @ 11:49 amFWIW from a trusted source, (I’m surprised no one who knows these things has commented) police departments need to offset one’s 5th Amendment rights with the demand that not telling your supervisor what happened is an automatic fire, so an officer is expected to inform his supervisor of the events, and that is under duress and not admissible in court (at least in PA). The supervisor deals with Internal Affairs until the DA has said no charges will be filed. (I guess if the DA brings something to trial IA is out of the loop).
So, it is not really surprising that there has been no release of Wilson’s side of the story.
I hope they got some reliable reports from some witnesses early on, that will not be swayed by the rioting that has gone on sense.
MD in Philly (f9371b) — 8/20/2014 @ 11:51 amCan defense witnesses give secret testimony?

In fact, carlito seems a little too obsessed with Jim Hoft – sounds very much like the rantings and whinings of a certain blogger nicknamed “Magical Jazzy Ponytail” by the late Andrew Breitbart. They guy who tweets endlessly about people and then screams “STALKERS!” when someone answers back.

happyfeet (8ce051) — 8/20/2014 @ 12:47 pmHoft posts fiction, and is exposed. Good. But that is almost completely disconnected with the problems in Ferguson. Infact, no one would know of the blog except for web crawlers. Now, who is going to correct the much more malicious and consequential fiction that caused all these riots. The rioters have a great deal invested in believing the lies. And the community organizer corps has been quick to capitalize on the crisis. This will take some real leadership to untangle.
bobathome (5ccbd8) — 8/20/2014 @ 12:50 pmsometimes the story doesn’t pan out, but as compared to the layers of editors, at any major publication
narciso (ee1f88) — 8/20/2014 @ 12:53 pmWait… this injury thing is not completely new. I recall a report, possiblythe same day as the shooting, that the officer appeared with what appeared to be an eye or facial injury and he was taken to, or seen at, an emergency room. This more specific report may be just a refinement of what was reported earlier.
Those front bones in the face, especially those that hold and protect the eye are pretty substantial. They do not fracture that easily.
Gramps, the original (d40b0b) — 8/20/2014 @ 12:53 pmThe original Gramps is correct. Officer Wilson was reported to have been treated for a facial injury immediately following the shooting incident. Reports of the nature and extent of this injuries were suppressed by DoJ “investigators” exactly the same way and for the same reasons they tried to suppress the video tape of Brown’s robbery.

narciso (ee1f88) — 8/20/2014 @ 1:23 pmCarlito, I’ll be sticking with Jim Hoft and his source. He doesn’t seem any more a liar and racist than the ArchiePundit guy you recursively linked to.
Besides my guy allows comments. Your guy doesn’t. My guy lots of people agree with him.
papertiger (c2d6da) — 8/20/2014 @ 1:47 pmYour guy, well who knows?
Let’s see, the topic at issue here is the activities of a brazen bellicose strong-arm thug caught on video tape robbing a convenience store in broad daylight in front of several witnesses and menacing a store clerk half his size during the commission of a crime, who soon thereafter smashes a uniformed police office in the face so violently he breaks the bones surrounding the officer’s eye socket.
These are the facts only a charlatan willing to swear allegiance to an outworn creed would deny, yet instead of upholding peace, racial harmony, the rule of law, and seeking therefore to condemn violent criminal aggression, carlitos is so desperate to change the subject and deflect attention away from the actual criminal misbehavior of Saint Michael of Missouri, carlitos insists on complaining about imaginary grievances with the blogger/owner of an entirely different website.
That’s what philistines do when confronted with inconvenient facts, first they deny reality, then they attack the victim, then they try to pass off half-wit nonsense as if was revealed wisdom and beyond the scope of criticism or demands for verification. It how liars roll.

JVW (638245) — 8/20/2014 @ 3:52 pmI had to take a couple of adjunct journalism/media courses from Medill while in in grad school related to crisis management planning and prep. The first thing they teach you is to examine and report the story– not lead the direction of the story, or allow yourself to be a part of the story, or be the focus of the story yourself, or get caught spinning the story. You’re also supposed to be aware that “facts” gleaned from first person interviews that are offered or requested during the developing stages of a crisis are quite often faulty, self serving, and ultimately may be intentionally or unintentionally off base, such that early assumptions drawn from them are also frequently wrong. From what I’ve seen over recent days I personally think the on-site reporting (especially by embedded national media) has been embarrassing and abysmal and unprofessional.
Frankly, because of this I don’t think any of us probably know enough about what’s really going on in Ferguson to be particularly authoritative or sure in our opinions. But it’s always fun to speculate.
elissa (41e608) — 8/20/2014 @ 3:55 pmSmall world, elissa. I went to Kellogg, but did my crisis management study with Hill and Knowlton. The training was invaluable; I just had a crisis last week and used the basic tools they taught me.

I don’t see anything else even remotely good coming out of it.
C. S. P. Schofield (e8b801) — 8/20/2014 @ 4:19 pmThanks for the links, red.
I have no reason to believe the cops are lying in this instance because an orbital blowout fracture either exists and can proven to exist. Or it doesn’t.
But if it proves to be true, then the cop appears to have a slam dunk case for self defense if there’s any sanity remaining in the world. Because anybody who has already broken bones in your skull has demonstrated they have the means to cause you grave bodily injury or death. Which makes your fear for your life objectively reasonable. For some reason the MFM is reporting this as if just because Michael Brown was 18 and unarmed, that makes the use of deadly force unreasonable. No, it doesn’t. Deadly force is deadly force. Not everyone needs a weapon to kill you. Just the ability to deliver deadly force. Broken skull bones means the aggressor has the ability to cause grave bodily injury or death.
If someone has the ability to beat you to death just with their fists, feet, elbows, knees, because they have trained to do so or because they are so much larger and stronger then you doesn’t mean you are limited to duking it out with them even though they are unarmed (and you are) if it means your death.
Of course, you still have to prove opportunity and intent. But if they wrestled over the gun, that would prove intent. Brown wanted Wilson’s gun. And proximity would prove opportunity.
One thing to keep in mind is that cops are always trained to be acutely aware that in any fight there is always a gun present. Their own. If a cop gets knocked out (and Brown was quite capable of knocking Wilson, or nearly anyone, out if the medical evidence of his injuries backs up his story) then that means Brown would then have his gun. And could pretty much do what he wanted.
Added bonus; a story of an unarmed teenager who should’ve been shot by the cops:
http://www.kfoxtv.com/news/features/top-stories/stories/man-found-guilty-officers-beating-death-sentenced-50-years-prison-5828.shtml#.U_UgrLOzl6w
If I recall correctly (and I believe I do) Officer Molina saw Juan Gonzalez and friends vandalizing cars. So he stopped them. But he let his guard down. Because of course at only 17 Gonzalez was only barely olde enough, like Trayvon Martin, to join the Marines. Yeah, with your parents’ permission you can join the military at 17. Which just shows how harmless fully grown 17 and 18 year olds are. Gonzalez got close enough to pull Molina’s legs out from under him, knocking Molina out when the back of his head hit the pavement.
Then what did Gonzalez do? Beat the unconscious police officer’s head into a pulp. I loved this quote from his defense attorney:
Gonzales proved that at as a teenager he can and will kill someone with his bare hands in less than ten seconds, and the guy’s defense attorney thinks that it means he should get a lighter sentence. Why? So he can use the skills he’s going to learn in prison to become an even more efficient killer while he’s still young enough?
Steve57 (99bd31) — 8/20/2014 @ 4:22 pmIt wasn’t even actually what you call a fight. But then the defense attorney is smearing the cop, in the same way that the MFM tries to smear Israel as if it’s on the same level as Hamas.
Steve57 (99bd31) — 8/20/2014 @ 4:26 pmAt this point I think the best we can hope for is that Al Sharpton and his ilk, along with whatever bottom readers from the Administration may show up, get trampled flat in the riot.

happyfeet (8ce051) — 8/20/2014 @ 4:52 pmWhen a guy impeaches the character of people he doesn’t know, on the basis of skin tone, using sketchy outlines, gleened from unrelated sources, you kind of hope someday, somehow, somewhere, the same thing happens to him.
Well today it happened in Fergusson to Chris Hayes. Bonus. How involves rocks!
papertiger (c2d6da) — 8/20/2014 @ 4:59 pmWatching Bill OReilly rail about NBC paying Al Sharpton to “put out garbage like this…”… funny, but I remember blockading Bill having Sharpton on his show on a weekly basis for a long period of time and that was not that long ago,

happyfeet (8ce051) — 8/20/2014 @ 5:18 pmI think MSNBC are the biggest birthers out there, doing the most to perpetuate that rubbish and Chris Matthews continues talking about it even today.

steveg (794291) — 8/20/2014 @ 6:38 pmI’ve had an orbital fracture that came also with broken jaw (upper and lower) somehow without losing teeth.
Anyway, it hurts like a mother****** once the adrenaline wears off. There is a big nerve that runs down through there to run the lower face muscles. There is also the eye… my fracture shoved pieces of bone into my eye muscles and it felt like a bunch of sticks in my eye.
It took over 4 surgeries to make it all just OK. Doesn’t hurt as much, my eye doesn’t wander, I can chew again and the feeling in my face is OK except for some areas that will always be numb.
Chris Matthews still peddling the “shot in the back” lie on MSNBC.
Bet he stays at least a stones throw away from Fergusen while he wish casts harm on others.
papertiger (c2d6da) — 8/20/2014 @ 6:45 pmFWIW, a “blow-out” fracture occurs when the eye ball and surrounding tissue is compressed and a relatively fragile bone below the eye is “blown out”, fractured downward from the pressure. Never had a patient with one. The main issue is whether some of the eye muscles get trapped, in which case surgery needs to be done to preserve normal eye function. If the eye muscles are not trapped, I think it is not necessarily “a big deal”, in terms of the need for surgery or “how bad it may look”.
MD in Philly (f9371b) — 8/20/2014 @ 7:02 pmBut it is a significant injury, and one can reasonably ask if there was any associated concussion and alteration of judgment.
About a year ago a friend’s husband suffered a blow out fracture to one eye in a weird, weird freak accident. I had never heard of such a thing before. In addition to having double vision for a while and having his jaw wired shut so he wouldn’t chew (in order to keep his face immobile to let the eye bone heal)– it also affected his tear ducts and his sinuses. I suppose every injury is different. But after almost a year he is still not “right”.

navyvet (ec562e) — 8/20/2014 @ 7:32 pmone can reasonably ask if there was any associated concussion and alteration of judgment.
I sincerely doubt shooting after the clown headed back for more cop smashing was due to altered judgment. But it’s a defense.
Kevin M (b357ee) — 8/20/2014 @ 7:57 pmEye socket blowouts can be quite serious. A friend was so injured when an oncoming truck driver was snorting cocaine instead of paying attention. 5 surgeries over a near sightless 2 year period with an implanted plastic replacement for part of his skull was the eventual outcome.
ropelight (ffcd8e) — 8/20/2014 @ 8:01 pmTo be clear, I wasn’t trying to say that it wasn’t potentially a devastating injury,
but I was trying to say that it could have been an uncomplicated blow-out fracture and he would have had a swollen eye and could have been in and out of the ER and for follow up, as opposed to being necessarily admitted for surgery.
it seemed to me it was insinuated that since “all he had was a swollen eye” that is didn’t fit that he had a fracture.
Being hit with a fist, even from a big man, isn’t as bad as being hit by a truck, I guess is the conclusion.

Christy Turlington is not everyone’s cup of tea, but then most of the detractors have taste in their mouths only.
Carlitos is a fool.
Hoft has thirty five posts up with the Mike Brown security camera shakedown. He didn’t retract anything and had no reason to. The reports that the photos are not of Brown are to be evaluated in a court of law like everything else.

the author’s byline includes:

He equates the domestication of strawberries with the supposed process from a simple one celled organism to advanced organisms, and claims that he “understands” it. I think his background is consistent with his grasp of the complexity of molecular biology and biochemistry.
MD in Philly (f9371b) — 8/20/2014 @ 8:32 pmMD, I just thought Carlitos would get a hoot out of it. Especially the title. Hey, I got YOU to read it didn’t I! 🙂

steveg (794291) — 8/20/2014 @ 8:48 pmIf the blow broke the bone into pieces, then he’d need surgery to wire it all back into place?
For a while I had a wire and a hook that buzzed and hurt whenever I sneezed. That got redone some years later.
Yes, some of these are painful but not serious medically. That said, for whatever reason, it seems humans really do not do well mentally with injuries to the face. It seems to trigger fight or flight way beyond the normal. Either way, the guy whose bone is broken by a punch doesn’t know what is going on and definately does not want his fragile face to get hit by another punch, nor should he. If a 290lbs guy looks like he wants to give me a second punch on top of the pain of an already broken bone…**** him
yes, it’s like rollerball with less decorum, but their crab bisque, is worth it,
narciso (ee1f88) — 8/20/2014 @ 8:51 pmI defer to your judgement, doc, as always (and no I never tried those recipes with beef but I’ve done variations with olive oil or butter with venison tenderloins/backstraps and then combinations of salt, pepper, lemon wedges, or just lemon salt depending on what was in camp, and it’s all good as long as you don’t overdo it). Perhaps the cops weren’t using the right medical terms. Just as I earlier admitted I didn’t know if I wasn’t using the right butchering terms for the different cuts of meat, just the ones I was taught.
Nobody is likely to know at the time that someone just broke bones in your face if you know you’re in a fight because of the adrenaline. You’re not as likely to go down as opposed to the knock out game, in which someone comes out of nowhere and sucker punches you while you’re just standing around waiting for the bus. But if you know you’re in a fight, your blood is up, and it’s harder to put you down. Still, you know when someone is doing a job on you even if every hit isn’t a home run.
It seems to me the cop could have legitimately had a valid reason to think if he didn’t shoot when he did, he’d have lost control of his weapon and then he’d have been dead.
I can’t say I’ve been hit by the best. But I’ve been hit a lot. If you’re interested I’ll tell you about what it was like growing up during the ’70’s in the Bruce Lee era with what Mr. feets would call the chinesers. Who thought a spinning roundhouse kick was a legitimate block in football down at the park.
Adapt and overcome.

papertiger – Chris is safe in his all white neighborhood getting frothed up about Republican racism.
daleyrocks (bf33e9) — 8/20/2014 @ 8:59 pmTrue. But a cop always brings a gun to a fistfight. Which means the cop can’t afford to lose the fistfight.
Steve57 (99bd31) — 8/20/2014 @ 9:02 pm“the birther thing is not unrespectable”
Mr. Feets – The left getting ascaird Donald Trump was a real presidential candidate was not respectable. That was snort worthy. Trump shamed Obama into releasing his birth certificate. That was news.
