Violence, Crime & Protests
Federal Gun Cases & Suspects Just Spiraling Up
to Record Numbers
DOJ Criminal Court Cases Press Releases Spiking to Record Numbers with Gun
Violence & Gun Crime
In
following these press releases now for ten years the Daily has never seen this
number of criminal cases before. Well over tripling the number of cases and
suspects charged with a variety of crimes.
From stealing guns, to trafficking, to ghost guns, manufacturing, burglaries of
gun shops and pawn shops and stealing from gun dealers.
The federal efforts in conjunction with their local counterparts are
producing cases and the fact of the matter is that the spike in crimes
themselves is also generating the HUGE increase. With the
Project Safe Neighborhood program (PSN), the OCDETF Tasks Forces, and
ATF's new
National Crime Gun Intelligence Centers (CGIC) launched in 26 cities,
and the numerous
Violent Gang Task Forces nationwide.
In one half single day 7/9/2021 the DOJ reported 25 gun cases and 44
suspects.

Deadly Ambush Outside Federal Building
Indiana FBI task force member fatally shot in 'ambush' outside federal building
An FBI task force officer and longtime detective was fatally shot
Wednesday in what officials called an ambush outside a federal building.
The gunman, identified by the U.S. Attorney's office as Shane Meehan, waited
outside the building before shooting Greg Ferency, a 30-year veteran of the
Terre Haute Police Department, FBI agents said.
Ferency had walked outside shortly after Meehan arrived and threw a Molotov
cocktail toward the building. Documents say Meehan then shot him. A special
agent with the FBI ran out of the building next and "engaged in a gun battle"
with Meehan, who was shot twice. Meehan got back inside his truck and drove
away. Police found him being treated for his gunshot wounds at Vigo County
Regional Hospital.
It's unclear whether Ferency was targeted or if Meehan intended to harm law
enforcement in general.
Meehan, 44, faces charges of murder of a federal agent, which carries a
penalty up to life, the U.S. Attorney's Office announced Thursday.

Using AI to Drive Down Crime
After Backlash, Predictive Policing Adapt to a Changed World
Software developers and city governments are
rethinking how and when to use algorithms that promise to curb crime
Artificial
intelligence-powered algorithms, the software companies said, could chew up
data on incident reports, weather, time and other variables, learn historical
patterns, and spit out forecasts faster, cheaper and more accurately than human
analysts. Using big data to put cops in the right place at the right time
would help discourage crime.
Federal funding helped push such tools to police departments in Los Angeles,
New York and elsewhere in the 2010s. More recently, however, those tools
have faced pushback. Criminal-justice advocates warn that a disproportionate
number of reported incidents involving low-income people or people of color
could lead to outsize police footprints in their communities and unequal
enforcement relative to total crime. Some academics question how effective the
tools really are.
Now, predictive-policing companies are starting to rebrand and rethink their
products, focusing less on "forecasting" crime and more on tracking cops, both
to provide more oversight and to learn what behaviors correlate to reduced
crime.
Less forecasting, more tracking
The evidence that predictive software reduces crime more effectively than
human analysts is mixed, says Sarah Brayne, a University of Texas at Austin
professor who researched the LAPD's use of such tools for five years for a 2020
book, "Predict and Surveil: Data, Discretion, and the Future of Policing."
"Part of that is that nobody has access to the data required to engage in
independent evaluation," says Ms. Brayne. Most predictive tools are
privately made, though the New York Police Department
created an in-house program. Proving causation between the tools and
reductions in crime is also difficult, Ms. Brayne says.
The potential for bias
William Bratton helped start the wave of crime-forecasting software when
he called for predictive analytics as LAPD commissioner in 2008. He was also
commissioner of the NYPD in 1994 when it launched the predecessor to predictive
policing software, CompStat, short for computerized statistics, which analyzed
data about recent crimes to help cops identify hot spots. He says younger cops
are more willing to embrace such technologies, but departments also need to
clarify guidelines that address community concerns.
Crime-forecasting firms are quick to distinguish their products from
data-mining or
facial-recognition technologies that use personal information to attempt to
identify suspects. Geolitica and ShotSpotter say they rely on reported
incidents and don't use data points such as arrests-a metric for police activity
rather than total crime-for fear of perpetuating a cycle of over-policing in
communities of color.

Putting the 'Crime Surge' in Perspective
Long-Term Violent Crime Trends in the U.S. Paint a Less Gloomy Picture
New York has become the first state in the US to declare an emergency to
tackle increasing levels of gun violence,
directing extra funds for programs aimed at preventing shootings.
Police departments across the US define violent crime in slightly different
ways, but the data usually includes murder, robbery, assault and rape.
Overall, violent crime was up by about 3% in 2020 over the previous year, but
this should be seen in the context of the longer term downward trend from a
peak in the early 1990s.
Across the US, there were 25% more murders recorded in 2020 than the previous
year. This is a steep rise, but the murder rate is still far lower than
than in the early 1990s, when it was almost double the current figure.
Major US cities have tended to follow the national trend in becoming safer since
the 1990s, but some have also seen a sharp rise in murders recently.
It's worth pointing out that over the last 20 years, both New York and
Chicago, along with most other US cities, have seen overall violent crime drop
significantly. But in the last 15 months, coronavirus restrictions have put
unprecedented social and economic pressures on people.
New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo has linked the upward trend in gun
violence to the disruption to school and work life caused by the pandemic.

America's Top Concern is Crime & Gun Violence
Only 1 in 5 say police treat people equally even as worries about crime surge
Skepticism about the U.S. criminal justice
system crossed racial and partisan lines.
Concerns
about crime and gun violence have surged to the
top of issues that worry Americans, a new USA TODAY/Ipsos Poll finds,
but attitudes about how to respond reflect the repercussions of the nation's
debate over racial justice.
Nearly two-thirds of those surveyed said violent crime has worsened in the
United States over the past year, and nearly a third have seen it rise in
their communities. While they expressed trust in their local police, however,
the classic call to get tough on crime has been tempered by broad concerns about
law enforcement tactics and the equality of the criminal justice system.
In the survey, 7 in 10 supported increasing police department budgets;
77% said they would like additional police officers deployed on street patrols.
But 62% also said some of the police budgets should be used to fund community
policing and social services. And 81% endorsed a mandate that police-involved
shootings be investigated by a separate and independent authority.
More than a year after
George Floyd was murdered on a Minneapolis street by a then-police officer
who knelt on his neck, video of that and other instances of police misconduct
toward Black Americans have sparked protests and a national reckoning on race.
Now just 1 in 5 Americans, 22%, said the police treat all Americans equally.
Even fewer, 17%, said the criminal justice courts and lawyers treat everyone
equally.

San Francisco's Worsening Violence & ORC
Crisis
Violent retail thefts in San Francisco only getting worse
San
Francisco, which has pulled millions of dollars from the police force to give
to community groups, has been the site of ever-increasing retail theft.
A reporter reporting on theft in the city was, ironically, robbed while doing
it. Shops have been closing because of the increase in retail theft.
However, the district attorney's office said in a tweet that the crime surge has
to do with racism. Senior director Kate Chatfield in the DA's office responded
to a tweet that read: "every single one of my friends right now is considering
leaving. My friends are scared for their children, and their husbands are scared
for their wives."
San Francisco is suffering under these conditions in part because of Prop.
47, which passed in 2014. It downgraded property theft below a certain
amount to a misdemeanor, allegedly to free up cops to deal with more serious
crimes. But what it's really done is create conditions for lawlessness in the
city.
Prosecutors in San Francisco appear to be more concerned with respecting
suspects' pronouns than preventing, deterring or prosecuting crime. Despite
the uptick in crime, San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin said that from
now on staff will be required to use people's preferred pronouns. SF Gate
reports that "burglaries and car thefts dramatically increased under Boudin, a
trend that has continued into 2021."

Progressive DA 'Will Not Prosecute Many of
These Crimes'
CA Retailer's Association president calls out DA Chesa Boudin amid SF's spike in
organized crime
The
president of the California Retailers Association says the solution to
San Francisco's organized theft problem lies, in part, with District Attorney
Chesa Boudin, who she says has made it clear he won't prosecute suspects in
these types of crimes.
"Unfortunately this issue has been around for a while," said President of the
California Retailers Association Rachel Michelin. Michelin says San Francisco is
now starting to see the long-term effects of the uptick in organized crime.
"The answer really lies, I think partially, with the district attorney and
the fact that he's made it clear he will not prosecute many of these crimes,"
she said. "When people hear that, they look at San Francisco and think they can
commit these crimes and there will not be any consequences for their behavior."
She's now asking for a discussion between local leaders, law enforcement and the
district attorney to address the problem. "We need to roll up our sleeves and
find a strategy to benefit the residents of San Francisco and businesses that
are there," Michelin said.
On top of the direct impact on big chain retailers, Michelin worries
about the impact on employees and customers.

UK Retail Violence: 'Tackling violence and abuse in retail must be one of the
industry's highest priorities'
Even before Covid there was an epidemic of retail violence and abuse - one
that had been getting progressively worse with each passing year.
By the start of 2020, there were over 450 incidents of violence and abuse every
day, a
7% rise on the previous year. And like so many issues, the pandemic made the
situation much worse.
Since the start of the pandemic, the number of incidents has skyrocketed. One
retailer reported a 600% increase in incidents, and they are not alone.
And all for trying to keep the public safe - asking people to wear face
coverings, to socially distance or for ID. It is no wonder that so many
retailers have put a focus on de-escalation training for their staff.
If the government wants shopworkers to be gatekeepers - for age-restricted items
like alcohol and knives, and for safe customer behaviour in a pandemic - then
they must provide better protection for them in law.
The Home Affairs Select Committee agrees, recently concluding that a new
criminal offence is needed to protect retail workers from a "shocking upsurge in
violence and abuse".
Fifty-five MPs, from all political backgrounds in Westminster, signed the BRC's
Shopworkers' Protection Pledge, promising to support legislation to better
protect retail workers.
A call for action
One hundred retail chief executives wrote to the prime minister last Friday
urging him to act. They were calling for the government to back an amendment to
the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill that would have created tougher
sentences for violence or abuse of retail workers.
While none of the amendments passed it was really encouraging to hear two
government ministers - Victoria Atkins, the minister for safeguarding, and
Robert Buckland, the justice secretary - acknowledge concerns about rising
violence and abuse against retail workers and commit to bringing forward a
government amendment to address these concerns when the Bill reaches the Lords.
While there is still some way to go, this was a positive outcome for the
industry and reflects the hard work in recent years of the BRC and many of our
members in shining a light on this issue.

Using Dollar Stores to Distribute More
Vaccines
To Expand U.S. Vaccine Access, Consider the Dollar Store
Distributing vaccines through Dollar General was something the U.S. Centers
for Disease Control considered, too, before deciding in May not to pursue a
"formal partnership," according to a CDC spokesperson. But such a
collaboration might be just what's needed to vaccinate some of America's
hardest-to-reach populations,
according to research by Judith Chevalier, Jason Schwartz and their
colleagues at the Yale University schools of management and public health.
Such
a partnership could dramatically increase vaccine availability in low-income
areas and some communities of color, the authors found in their working
paper, which hasn't yet been peer reviewed.
"The dollar store footprint ... lends itself to thinking about this broader aim
of making vaccines available right where people are located, and the
people that are disproportionately under-vaccinated in so many of our cities and
communities right now," said Schwartz, a professor of public health at Yale.
Even beyond Covid-19, Young makes the case that dollar stores could be key
access points for reaching vulnerable populations who have limited access to
health care services, and sometimes lack trust in the system.
The researchers' national analysis compared the locations of pharmacy retail
chains that are currently partnering with the government through the Federal
Retail Pharmacy Program to the locations of Dollar General stores,
depicted in the map below (with a caveat: not all FRPP affiliated pharmacies
actually distribute vaccines). They then analyzed state vaccine sites in the 21
sites where data was accessible.
Schwartz's argument is geared at the people who would be willing to get
vaccinated, if only they could go somewhere convenient - and perhaps familiar
enough to instill trust.

Will Delta Variant Spark Return to Shutdowns?
What the delta variant could mean for COVID restrictions
The
Bay Area appears to be holding its own against the delta coronavirus variant -
but while experts say the region is unlikely to see major spikes like those
occurring in less vaccinated hot spots across the U.S., they are watching the
key metrics that would spell trouble ahead.
To those casting a worried eye toward places such as Israel and Japan, which
have tightened some restrictions because of the delta variant, experts say a
return to widespread shutdowns in the Bay Area and California is unlikely -
though indicators could reach levels that prompt some renewed health measures,
such as mask mandates.

Coronavirus cases in California rise for first time in months as Delta variant

After months of steady declines, coronavirus infections are once again on the
rise in California as the state struggles with slowing daily vaccination
rates and the spread of the highly infectious Delta variant.
While it's too soon to say whether the upticks are a trend or a blip, health
experts and state officials expressed confidence that California's reopening and
the return of something resembling normality were not in jeopardy. Last 7
days new cases up 30% and hospitalizations up 34% over mid-June.
"This is the call to anyone who hasn't been vaccinated: Get vaccinated," Gov.

Mixed Messaging on COVID Booster Shots
Pfizer says it's time for a Covid booster; FDA and CDC say not so fast
Drugmaker Pfizer said Thursday it is seeing waning immunity from its coronavirus
vaccine and says it is picking up its efforts to develop a booster dose that
will protect people from variants.
Pfizer said it would soon publish data about a third dose of vaccine and
submit it to the US Food and Drug Administration, European Medicines Agency and
other regulators. The company specified it would seek FDA emergency use
authorization for a booster dose in August.
But in an unusual move, two top federal agencies said Americans don't need
boosters yet and said it was not up to companies alone to decide when they
might be needed.
Hours after Pfizer issued its statement, the FDA and Centers for Disease and
Control issued a joint statement saying Americans do not need booster shots
yet.

Delta Variant Fear isn't Impacting Spending
Back-to-school spending eyes COVID-era peak despite Delta variant fear
According to consulting firm Deloitte's
14th annual Back-to-School report, which surveyed 1,200 parents of
school-aged children between May 27 and June 5, researchers estimated that
back-to-school spending is expected to rise 16% year-over-year - from $28.1
billion in 2020 to $32.5 billion this year.
Back-to-school spending will also be up around 17% compared to the last
pre-pandemic year in 2019, according to the firm. Deloitte's data echoed a
recent report from MasterCard, which expects splurging parents to spend 25% more
than they did last year.
This means parents will be spending an average of $612 per child, "the
highest amount in recent years," according to Deloitte.

Retail Crisis Looms as Holiday Shopping Season
Approaches
Another Crisis In Retail: Labor Shortage Will Get Worse
The labor crisis highlighted by the Department of Labor poses a huge problem
for the retail industry. Of greatest concern, it points to a shortage of
labor that will get worse during the coming important holiday season. Currently,
the Department of Labor estimates that there are about 965,000 open jobs in
the retail industry.
Kohl's
has announced that current hourly store, distribution center, and e-commerce
fulfillment center associates will be eligible for a $100 to $400 bonus if they
stay and work for Kohl's during the holiday season. This is to counter the
current trend of associates leaving their job in favor of other employment.
DSW, the discount shoe chain, is testing
self-checkout as a reaction to the labor shortage. It started during the
pandemic when DSW piloted self-checkout stands in its stores in response to
hiring challenges, according to an e-mail from the company to CNN.
Notable is the fact that Target Stores said
it has not had difficulties in hiring, but the company did stress that it
raised the minimum wage last year to $15.00 and expanded its employee health
benefits. Macy's, on the other hand,
indicated that it had a number of positions open in its stores and
distribution centers.
The 7-Eleven Franchisees National Coalition,
representing about 7,200 U.S. locations, warned that the shortage of labor
makes a 24-hour operation not possible. Because of higher operating costs,
franchisees may face a very dire situation.
The facts are clear; retailers always need more help during the critical
Christmas selling period, and this year is no exception. Even with store
traffic levels down, they need to fill open positions because this is the year
when shoppers will try to avoid long lines and unnecessary exposure to other
customers. That means store will have to build staff and start training the
associates now in order to have a trained crew ready to serve the throngs.

New Supply Chain Disruptions Worry Retailers
Retailers and suppliers say the
supply chain challenges that began with the pandemic are persisting, and
they have little confidence that improvements are coming.
Two in five industry suppliers (38%) said they faced "significant" levels of
disruption for materials necessary to create their products.
Supply chain disruptions also extended to equipment: 79% of retailers say
they experienced delays with store equipment/hardware deliveries this year
and 41% say they postponed store equipment orders or new store
construction/remodel projects because of supply chain delays.

Retail Union Workers vs. Non-Union Workers
Retail workers in unions reap higher wages even as U.S. organizers suffer
setbacks
Wally Waugh, 57, a front-end manager at a Stop & Shop supermarket in Oyster Bay,
New York, makes over $1,150 a week. He is a union member. Adam Ryan, 33,
a sales clerk at a Christiansburg, Virginia, Target, makes $380 to $460 a
week. He is not.
While the gap in how much they earn arises in part from the very different
regions where both live and work, it is also in line with a Reuters analysis of
U.S. retail wages, whose findings are previously unreported. After reviewing two
decades of retail wages, Reuters found that union workers get paid more on
average - and that the gap is widening.
Reuters examined a three-year rolling average of data from the U.S. Bureau of
Labor Statistics (BLS) and found that the weekly pay differential between union
and nonunion workers in the U.S. retail sector widened significantly between
2013 and 2019 - from nearly $20 to more than $50.

Victim Impact Statements - Follow-through is the key to success
More than 40% of Victim Impact Statements are never
returned by retailers. Do not lose your
restitution opportunities!
It is fair to say that without an organized program for collecting and
responding to Victim Impact Statements, most retailers are missing an
opportunity to inform jurisdictions of their full loss. Retailers may not be
awarded restitution from a loss suffered in their stores, warehouses and/or
corporate locations if they do not respond to official requests. Without having a central location for jurisdictions to send
Victim Impact Statements, they will most likely be sent to the location where
the theft occurred; where they may sit unanswered or worse yet, be discarded.
Victim Impact Statements are deadline driven and normally require research and
follow through. Each year thousands become stale due to lack of response or are
rejected as incomplete. While the basic information may be the same, each
jurisdiction has its own set of rules and expectations for completion. Knowing
the nuances required by each jurisdiction can make the difference to the
restitution awarded.
The Zellman Group has a long-standing relationship with thousands of Courts and
Department of Corrections across the country. This relationship ensures smooth
communication between all parties. Our centralized process ensures every Victim
Impact Statement arrives from the jurisdiction of offense to our firm. Zellman
processes all Victim Impact Statements well within deadlines and manages all
follow-up. Our process ensures that our retail partners will recover
substantially more money with very little expense.

Biden warns Putin on Russian ransomware attacks
President
Biden spoke by phone with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday
and urged him to take action to disrupt criminal groups operating in
Russia that are behind recent ransomware attacks in the United States.
Biden also warned that the U.S. would "take any necessary action to defend
its people and its critical infrastructure in the face of this continuing
challenge," according to a White House readout.
White House press secretary Jen Psaki told reporters at a press briefing Friday
that the U.S. government does not have new information suggesting the Russian
government directed recent ransomware attacks but added, "we also know and we
also believe that they have a responsibility ... to take action."
Psaki declined to specify what options are on the table. Biden previously levied
sanctions against Russia as a consequence to the SolarWinds hack in April.
"His intent was to make clear and reiterate again that attacks by criminal
groups, ransomware attacks by criminal groups on entities in the United States
is not acceptable and that we reserve the right to take action," Psaki said.
During the meeting last month with Putin, Biden gave Putin a list of 16
critical infrastructure entities that Russia could not attack without
consequences, and warned him against allowing further malicious cyber
activities against the United States.
"President Biden underscored the need for Russia to take action to disrupt
ransomware groups operating in Russia and emphasized that he is committed to
continued engagement on the broader threat posed by ransomware."
Tensions between the U.S. and Russia have ramped up over the past six months in
the wake of several cybersecurity incidents either linked to the Russian
government or to Russian-based cyber criminal groups.

NYC - 1st Major American City to Open
Real-Time Operations Center
New York City Opens Cyberattack Defense Center
Initiative brings together government
agencies and business groups to share intelligence and respond to digital
threats
Set
in a lower Manhattan skyscraper, the center is staffed by a coalition of
government agencies and private businesses, with 282 partners overall sharing
intelligence on potential cyber threats. Its members range from the New
York Police Department to Amazon.com Inc. and International Business
Machines Corp. to the Federal Reserve Bank and several New York healthcare
systems.
Until last week, the two-year effort known as New York City Cyber Critical
Services and Infrastructure was completely virtual.
New York's cyberdefense center opens as attacks against government and
business infrastructure increase across the country. In recent months,
cyberattacks have struck U.S. pipelines,
meat producers and
software companies.
New York has long been seen as particularly vulnerable because of its status
as a business center and symbol of American financial and cultural power.
"When one major piece of critical infrastructure is under attack, they're all
under attack," said Mr. Miller. "If those entities fail, all our response plans
fail with them."
Since launching, the New York initiative starts sharing information as soon as
there is a cyber event anywhere in the country and makes preparations in case an
attack breaches the region.
Although there is work being done at the state and federal levels, cybersecurity
experts warn that major cities are uniquely vulnerable to disruptions and should
organize around these threats.
"Cities increasingly depend on cyber," said Global Cyber Alliance President and
CEO Philip Reitinger. "Everything is connected."

Letting Businesses 'Hack Back' Against Hackers Is a Terrible Idea,
Cyber Veterans Say
Senators last week introduced a bill that
would explore letting companies counterattack hackers
Companies shouldn't be allowed to strike back against hackers, cybersecurity
specialists and former government officials warned, after senators last week
introduced legislation floating the idea of such counterattacks.
The work of attacking hackers should be left to government authorities that
are better equipped to carry it out, the cyber experts said.
Sens. Steve Daines (R., Mont.) and Sheldon Whitehouse (D., R.I.) introduced a
bill on June 30 that would require the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to
study the risks and benefits of allowing companies to take action against
hackers in the event of an attack.
Former Defense Department officials said that allowing companies to "hack
back," as it is known in cybersecurity circles, is a flawed and even
dangerous proposition.
"So many things could go wrong, and very little can actually go right," said
Anup Ghosh, a former program manager at the Defense Advanced Research Projects
Agency, or Darpa, part of the Defense Department.
Mr. Ghosh, now the chief executive of cybersecurity firm Fidelis Cybersecurity
Inc., said that for a company, even deciding whom to counterattack is fraught
with risks, given the difficulties of attributing attacks to individuals,
gangs or nation-states. Introducing the private sector into the cyberwarfare
arena also has national-security implications, he said, such as disrupting
intelligence operations that companies might not know about.

Scam artists exploit Kaseya security woes to deploy malware
The company is being impersonated in the fallout of a recent ransomware
attack.
Kaseya has urged customers to be wary of a wave of phishing emails taking
advantage of the disruption caused by a recent ransomware attack.
On July 8, the software solutions provider said that scam artists are
leveraging the security incident to "send out fake email notifications that
appear to be Kaseya updates."
"These are phishing emails that may contain malicious links and/or
attachments," the company added.
Samples of fake, emailed Kaseya advisories, as
noted by Malwarebytes, urge recipients to download and execute an attachment
called "SecurityUpdates.exe" to resolve a vulnerability in Kaseya and to protect
themselves against ransomware.

Saving Amazon from Itself
Bezos' Decision to Quit His Job at Amazon Could End Up Saving the Company
Why did Jeff Bezos step down as CEO of Amazon? To
save it from destroying itself.
You
might think it strange to hear about Amazon's demise, considering its value has
skyrocketed over the past year, and it's currently one of the most valuable
companies in the world.
Bezos has long preached that Amazon employees should consider it "day one"--to
work as if Amazon is still an early-stage company, relentless in its efforts to
stave off death. And this is why Bezos now leaving his post as CEO is
so pivotal.
In a letter to employees, he addressed head-on what has become a very strong
criticism of Amazon in recent years, namely, that
the company doesn't take good
enough care of its employees.
And while Bezos defended Amazon and the way it looks after its people, he also
admitted that the company needed to do better.
By stepping down as CEO, Bezos
has more time to focus on solving Amazon's biggest problem.
If he's successful, he will have done more than improve the company's
reputation. He will have altered the company's future.
And in the end,
he just may save himself--and
his company--from what he fears most: becoming just like everyone else.

New Facilities and Air Capacity to Meet
E-Commerce Demands
DHL Express invests $360M in Americas to keep up with e-commerce
Bigger facilities, more aircraft and technology
are intended to boost delivery speed
DHL
Express said Wednesday it is
investing more than $360
million in facilities and new air capacity
for the Americas region through 2022 to support parcel growth fueled by demand
for e-commerce transactions.
The new infrastructure, which includes technologies to improve operational
efficiency,
will increase network capacity
in North and South America by nearly 30%,
DHL said. More capacity means faster shipment processing and earlier deliveries
for customers.
Express delivery companies have experienced phenomenal growth in parcel volumes
during the past 18 months as online shopping soared in popularity. DHL said it
handled
33% more shipments per day in
the first quarter
compared to the same period last year because of business-to-business and
business-to-consumer e-commerce orders. For the U.S. alone, shipment volumes
grew 41% in the first quarter.
Last month, DHL
relocated its Kansas City,
Missouri, operation to a new building that is more than twice the size of the
previous location. The
$5 million facility is near Kansas City International Airport.
A new
244,000 square-foot automated
hub in Hamilton, Ontario,
is also planned. Once completed it will be four times the size of the current
facility.

Texas Armed Robbery Crew Leader Gets 45 Years &
Two Other Defendants - 45 Yrs & 9 Yrs Ea.
Serial Cell Phone Store Robber Sentenced to 45 Years in Federal Prison
A
Long Beach, California man, Edward Eugene Robinson, 50,
guilty of one count of conspiracy to interfere with commerce by robbery, two
counts of interfering with commerce by robbery, and two counts of
brandishing a firearm during a crime of violence in March.
According to evidence presented at trial - which included eyewitness testimony,
store surveillance videos, and evidence obtained from search warrants -
Mr. Robinson was the leader of a robbery crew that
committed at least 15 armed robberies of cell phone stores across North Texas
and Southern California in the spring and summer of 2019.
During the robberies, Mr. Robinson and his accomplices
threatened store employees with guns and tazers
and demanded that they open the safes where the phones and other equipment were
stored. The robbers then
restrained the employees using zip-ties or cell phone chargers.
Over the course of the conspiracy,
Mr. Robinson stole more than $600,000 of inventory,
including cell phones, tablets, and watches.
The
other defendants in the case -
Aaron Hardrick and Ncholeion Hollie, both of Fort Worth, Texas
- previously pleaded guilty. Mr. Hardrick pleaded guilty in 2019 to multiple
federal robbery and firearms charges in North Texas and Southern California. He
was sentenced to 45
years in federal prison. Ms. Hollie
pleaded guilty in 2020 to one federal robbery charge in North Texas and was
sentenced to 9 years in federal prison.

Macclenny, FL: Man jailed after 3 Felony Theft charges at Walmart
A Kentucky man is in custody in county jail under a $75,000 bond, charged with
three separate felony shoplifting offenses at the Macclenny Walmart dating back
to early last month. Bradford Carroll, 36, of Florence, KY was arrested the
early afternoon of July 2 following an alert from a store security employee that
he left the store with merchandise from the sporting goods and auto inventory
departments valued at $608. The items were recovered from the suspect's Toyota
pickup. Police were called about 1:30 after the suspect was observed leaving
Walmart without paying for the merchandise, and the employee recognized both him
and the vehicle from a surveillance video on June 3. During that incident, Mr.
Carroll allegedly stole two home theater systems valued at $398. After the
suspect was booked for the initial thefts, the sheriff's department was
contacted about a third one caught on video June 14 during which he is accused
of taking items from sporting goods and the auto department valued at $782.
Again, Mr. Carroll was recognized from the earlier incidents.

Austin, TX: Thieves ram hole in front of bike shop, owner says latest in rash of
break-ins
An
Austin area bike shop has been hit by thieves five times between its two
locations since February, and one shop has a giant hole in the front of it as a
result of the latest one early Thursday. The Peddler bike shop owner AJ Camp
says surveillance video from a coffee shop next door shows a truck ramming
through the front of his Hyde Park store, then a white van with four people
pulled up and started loading it up with bikes.
Between that location and his one in Cedar Park, he estimates $70,000-$80,000
worth of bikes have been taken in five break-ins since February.
With each break-in, Camp says the thieves take several bikes.

Shootings & Deaths
Indianapolis, IN: Speedway store clerk guns down shoplifter over four packs of
Red Bull; charged with Murder
A
gas station clerk followed a shoplifter outside a convenience store and gas
station, and shot him in the parking lot, according to court documents. Vincent
Bibbs, 49, has been charged with the murder of 49-year-old Damon McClain.
Officers with the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department were dispatched to
the Speedway gas station at 4960 E. 56th St. just before 11:30 p.m. June 29.
Officers arrived to find McClain in a vehicle. He had been shot in the head. He
was declared deceased on the scene at 11:35 p.m. Witnesses told police they saw
the clerk, identified as Bibbs, follow a man carrying a bag outside of the store
to the parking lot.
IMPD detectives say surveillance video shows McClain placing several cases of
Red Bull into a plastic trash bag before leaving through the front door. Bibbs
can be seen following McClain outside. In an interview with police, Bibbs
initially denied having any interaction with McClain, according to court
documents. Detectives say Bibbs told them he never shot anyone, had a gun or
heard shots. Bibbs later admitted to police "messed up by going outside,"
telling detectives that store management told him not to let shoplifters leave
the store. He said tried to lock McClain in the store but wasn't able to. He
said a struggle occurred in the parking lot and his gun went off. Bibbs said he
then went back in the store, waited on two customers, then called 911.
Bibbs faces an additional charge of carrying a handgun without a license.

Cedar Park, TX: Argument at area H-E-B leads to deadly shooting in driveway of
victim's home
One Central Texas man is dead, and another is facing a murder charge after an
argument Wednesday night at the H-E-B store at 170 East Whitestone Blvd. in
Cedar Park led to a deadly shooting in the driveway of the victim's home.
Officers found the victim, Cameron T. Wilcox, 29, lying dead in the driveway of
his home at 206 Peach Tree Lane after responding at around 8:30 p.m. Wednesday
to a report of a shooting.
The suspect was gone when they arrived, but Texas Department of Public Safety
troopers spotted him in Leander and took him into custody after a traffic stop.
Hector De Jesus Villatoro-Guevara, 31, was booked into the Williamson County
Jail early Thursday morning and faces a murder charge, according to online
records. His bond had not been set as of late Thursday morning.
The initial caller, a woman whose name was not released, told police the two
men, who knew each other, argued at the H-E-B. She and Wilcox left the store
and drove to their home on Peach Tree Lane where they were unloading groceries
when Villatoro-Guevara, who police say was the woman's ex-boyfriend, drove up,
got out of his vehicle, retrieved a handgun, fired into the air and then toward
Wilcox who was shot repeatedly.

Update: St Louis, MO: 'A classic case of self-defense' in mall shooting
Attorney for suspect in West County Mall shooting says charges never should have
been filed. In a 20-minute press conference Thursday, the attorney representing
Jason Hill, who is charged with second-degree murder after a fatal shooting at
the West County Mall, said the incident is a clear-cut case of self-defense and
Hill should never have been charged. Donnell Smith addressed the media for the
first time since the July 3 shooting, saying prosecutors have surveillance video
that corroborates his client's versions of events.
According to Smith, Hill - who is 21 and graduated from Cleveland Junior Naval
Academy in 2018 - was at the mall with his girlfriend shopping for their
3-month-old baby. After the couple finished shopping for the child, Smith said
they went into Champs and each separately started looking at shoes. Hill
reportedly saw a group of four to five men walk into the store together, and
things quickly escalated. "Two of the guys walked toward him. The first guy
walked directly toward him and he moved out of the way to let that guy walk past
him," Smith said, explaining Hill's account of what happened. "The second guy,
who we now know is Malachi Maclin, approached him, got in his face, made a
comment about killing him and without any provocation whatsoever, hit him in the
face."
Smith said Hill fell back from the punch, then pulled his gun to defend himself.
Maclin reportedly pulled a firearm out as well, and at that point shots were
fired. Maclin was fatally wounded, later dying at a nearby hospital.

inciting
A
20-year-old Urbana man at the heart of a riot that caused thousands of dollars
worth of damage to multiple Champaign businesses last year has been sentenced to
three years of probation for burglary. "Words matter. You are a leader. I

Silver Springs, MD: Unemployed man nabbed using fake ID, checks to buy $135,000

The difference between success and failure is in the planning and the execution.
Taking something from a thought or idea to a reality can be a long and painful
process lined with failures and detractors. But a great idea is only as good as
the plan you have to bring it to life and the execution everyone delivers to
give it a life. Because without the two the great idea never existed. As one "C"
level executive once told me - He never saw a bad great idea as it was always
the failed plan to roll it out and the poor execution that killed it.
Just a Thought, Gus
