Portland's Hypocrisy on Display at Alan Swinney Trial

Portland's Hypocrisy on Display at Alan Swinney TrialThe cesspool of hypocrites that is Portland, Oregon is on full display right now at the Multnomah County Courthouse. On the right you have self proclaimed Proud Boy Alan James Swinney who came to Oregon to show support for law and order by engaging in a series of crimes. On the left you have Antifa whose activists claim to support abolishing the police only to support the police the second they claim to have been attacked by anyone from the alt-right. We at Cop Blaster do not identify with the right or the left, so we don't have a problem calling out either side for being the hypocrites that they are. We hate the government and those that enforce its laws, so we support anyone that fights the police not matter who they are which is why we have been so supportive of groups like Antifa and Black Lives Matter over the past year or so. It is also why we defend people like Jeremy Christian when the state decides to over prosecute them for political reasons (https://ift.tt/34abvg3). If society is to have any chance at having a justice system that is truly fair we cannot allow political biases to play a role. If we allow white supremacists to be prosecuted more severely than anyone else then that system has the potential to prosecute anyone unfairly for any reason. If Antifa activists go to a conservative community what is to stop a jury in that area from sentencing them excessively because they don't like Antifa if they use the same system that allows liberals to sentence white supremacists excessively? We have spoken out against the state's case against Swinney because we don't believe that he committed the crime of second degree assault due to him not causing anyone serious injuries (https://ift.tt/3jjHOyV). The worst injuries Swinney is alleged to have inflicted are bruises from paintballs and the closest thing to a weapon that he used to inflict injuries were paintball guns. We don't consider bruises to be serious injuries even if they are as bad as these self proclaimed victims allege and we don't consider any paintball gun loaded with paintballs to be a dangerous weapon under the law. Swinney is also accused of spraying people with bear mace, but even an eyeball full of mace does not rise to the level of injury necessary to sustain a charge of assault II under Oregon law. The prosecution's best shot at a conviction on the most serious charges in this case is similar to how they wrongfully convicted Jeremy Christian of murder last year. In that case Christian was assaulted on a Max train by an Antifa activist and defended himself. Christian suffers from autism and PTSD. He has difficulty controlling himself during his autistic meltdowns and has heightened threat sensitivity due to PTSD from among other things being shot in the face. This author knows this due to living in the cell next to him for three months. That dual diagnosis proved deadly for two men one of which Christian was understandably afraid of due to being thrown on the ground multiple times by another man. We argued that Christian should have been found not guilty by reason of self defense for the first two stabbings and guilty of manslaughter for the third one. The third stabbing was of a man that Christian himself admitted had done nothing to him other than stand in the wrong place when he was running on "auto pilot." Christian's version of events were consistent with a person with his dual diagnosis acting before having time to properly process things which we thought lowered his culpable mental state enough to justify a finding of manslaughter. The prosecution was able to convict Christian of murder by making the case about social justice. If you can convince a liberal jury that a defendant is a white supremacist then they will almost always convict him of as many things they can. The government is doing the same thing in this case. They will convict Swinney of being a Proud Boy, convince the jury that Proud Boys are white supremacists, and seek a remedy based not on what is just, but rather what most people in the community would consider justice to be. The prosecution has a long line of leftist snitches eager to testify in this case many of whom took to the streets to protest law enforcement. They seem to think that it is ok to be a snitch if the person they're snitching on is alt-right or claims to support law enforcement. They don't seem to realize that what constitutes a snitch is never something that can be debated. Convicts are the only people that get to decide what constitutes a snitch and with that decision made long ago was a prohibition on ever being able to debate the definition again. One cannot accurately deny being a snitch by claiming to be a victim, saying "but he's a Nazi," or asking their friends if they think testifying is ok. Now that we've made it clear that it is impossible to testify against Alan Swinney without admitting to being a snitch, here is a list of snitches we know about so far: Jason Allen Britton Age: 31 Gender: Male Race: White Height: 5 ft 7 in Weight: 160 lbs Hair: Brown Eyes: Brown Phone: 309-738-7946 Email: jaceb79[at]gmail.com Address: 555 NE CENTURION CT, GRESHAM, OR 97030 Facebook: https://ift.tt/2Ws6dfl - Testified that he was shot with a paintball gun near his left eye and that his vision has never been the same. An obvious exaggeration by someone who realizes that without any protracted impairment of his vision there would be no Assault II argument. Seems like a total pansy crying to a jury instead of sucking it up like a real man. He strikes us like the type of set up artist that groups like Anitfa teach how to file charges against people. The end result tends to be accusations that if believed by a jury would constitute a higher charge, but ultimately cannot be proven. Accusations like claiming his vision has never been the same without any proof. Britton posted about this on Facebook where he identifies as an independent "journalist" associated with Antifa (https://ift.tt/39QRJsA). As you can see from his picture (above) his black eye didn't look any worse than one would expect from getting punched hard. He claims to have been wrongfully arrested on multiple occasions, so he's had chances on the inside to figure out that turning state's witness makes someone no better than a cop and still he thinks it is ok to testify against people. Maybe the next time he gets arrested someone will have the presence of mind to teach him. Megan Steward a.k.a. Meg McLain Address: 19650 SE BORGES RD, DAMASCUS, OR Email: meg.mclain[at]gmail.com - Claims to have been sprayed with bear mace and shot with a paintball gun. Currently suing Swinney which obviously gives her all the motivation she needs to exaggerate. When doing a background check on her we discovered the above address, but also a voting registration record from 2013 listing her as a Republican. We added a screenshot of that record (above). It was from the same background check result that matched the email address with the Twitter account https://twitter.com/MegMcLain. Learn more at https://ift.tt/3juO1Ir Brittany Correll - Claims to have witnessed Swinney's actions. Many Others - See many others documented at https://ift.tt/3j6l4lr We will continue to expand this list as we learn the identities of other snitches in this case. If anyone is thinking that the above might violate Oregon's new anti-doxing law they just might be correct if our motive were malicious which it is not, but that probably won't stop somebody from alleging so someday. If it were it wouldn't matter because the language of the bill is unconstitutionally overbroad. We have been hoping that someone might come along and give us standing to challenge it in federal court, but we have yet to get so much as a litigious threat despite not allowing the bill to change how we operate. If any of these people want to give us standing to challenge that bill and the publicity that would come with being the ones to get it overturned then they are by all means encouraged to contact us. They might want to see about making it a class action by contacting every member of the State House (https://ift.tt/2R5PMCt) and State Senate (https://ift.tt/3AbjabM) that voted for HB 3047. Even if the bill were not unconstitutional this website is hosted overseas, so U.S. courts lack the jurisdiction necessary to overrule us on content management issues anyway. Conclusion Alan Swinney didn't do the right thing and he is not a totally innocent person, but he is not guilty of any felonies. He should be convicted of misdemeanor assault and menacing. He has been locked up for over a year which is the maximum sentence allowed by law for misdemeanors, so his sentence should be time served. By dragging this out the state has already cost him the opportunity to earn good conduct time which would have cut months off his sentence had excessive bail not been imposed. #alanswinney #proudboys #antifa #victimhoodculture #jasonbritton

Wahoo Police Lt. Sean Vilmont Arrested for Molesting Preteen Girl

Wahoo Police Lt. Sean Vilmont Arrested for Molesting Preteen GirlWahoo Police Lieutenant Sean Vilmont was arrested last week for sexually assaulting an 11 or 12 year old girl at least twice and taking pictures of her intimate areas. He has been placed on paid administrative leave pending the outcome of the case and an internal investigation. Vilmont faces a maximum of eight years in state prison if convicted of all three felony charges he currently faces. Two of those charges are third degree sexual assault of a child. Under Nebraska law someone commits the crime of third degree sexual assault of a child "if the actor does not cause serious personal injury to the victim" (https://ift.tt/3uezQ02). Based on the statute one can conclude that Vilmont molested the girl, but exercised enough restraint not to put her in the hospital. He then took a picture to remember her by for which he is charged with unlawful intrusion. Under Nebraska law "intrude means the viewing or recording, either by video, audio, or other electronic means, of a person in a state of undress" in place of solitude (https://ift.tt/3uc4HdM). According to pubic records, Sean Michael Vilmont is a 51 year old resident of Fremont, Nebraska. His last known home address is 1535 West 10th Street. We are making that address available to help protect children by making them and their parents aware that an accused child molester might be living there. Please do not use that address for any unlawful activity. He is also a registered Libertarian with no prior criminal record. #seanvilmont #sexoffenders #childmolestation #childpornography

Rockford Detective Joshua Grover Arrested for Child Porn

Rockford Detective Joshua Grover Arrested for Child PornRockford Police Detective Joshua Grover was arrested at his home in Roscoe this week on child pornography charges. He faces three counts of possession of child pornography featuring a victim under the age of 13. He has been placed on administrative leave, but we are not sure if he will be paid while on leave. Unfortunately administrative leave usually means paid leave, but states have been rectifying that with new laws that disqualify officers placed on leave due to pending criminal charges from getting paid. We just are not sure if Illinois is one of them, so we will be looking into that. He is currently being held in the Winnebago County Jail without bond. Grover's neighbor spoke out against him to the local press (see video below). She told WTVO that she thought Grover was a family man because she would often see him taking walks with his kids. When police raided his house she was worried that something happened to his family. When she learned why Grover was arrested she said it made her sick to her stomach "thinking you know someone.. but do not." According to public records, Joshua Steven Grover is a 45 year old resident of Roscoe, Illinois. His last known address is 706 Charlemont Lane. The reporter in the video below mentioned Claremont Lane by name. We are exempting his address from our usual courtesy of censoring home addresses of cops because he is charged with sex crimes against minor and we think people in the area need to know which house to keep their kids away from. Please do not use this information for any unlawful purpose. #joshuagrover #childpornography

Multnomah County Jail Brutality Lawsuit Survives Summary Judgment

Multnomah County Jail Brutality Lawsuit Survives Summary JudgmentA pro-se lawsuit filed against Multnomah County, the Multnomah County Sheriff's Office (MCSO), several MCSO deputies, and members of the Multnomah County Detention Center (MCDC) medical staff has survived the first part of a bifurcated summary judgement phase largely intact. CopBlaster.com founder Cyrus Sullivan filed the lawsuit in 2019 for excessive force, assault & battery, deliberate indifference to serious medical needs, negligence, and defamation for conduct the occurred in 2017. Multnomah County moved for summary judgement in an effort to dismiss all of Sullivan's claims last year, but United States District Judge Jennifer Zipps didn't rule on the motion until yesterday. Zipps granted the motion in part and denied it in part. Claims Not Dismissed The claims that survived include claims of excessive force against two deputies; assault & battery against Multnomah County for the conduct of their deputies; deliberate indifference to serious medical needs against Multnomah County and Sheriff Mike Reese based on a custom of failing to allow detainees to attend outside medical appointments when scheduling conflicts with court dates; not allowing inmates to have hard braces; and state law negligence claims based on inadequate medical care against Multnomah County. Sullivan won a major victory by convincing Judge Zipps that the Fourteenth Amendment standard of review applies to excessive force claims brought by detainees awaiting sentencing after being found guilty of violating supervised release conditions. That is because even after a federal defendant is found to have violated a condition of supervision it is still within the court's discretion not to revoke supervised release, so until that person is sentenced they are the equivalent of a pre-trial detainee and not a sentenced inmate. Multnomah County argued that because Sullivan had been convicted of a crime, was serving a sentence of supervised release, and was being held in connection with that conviction that the more stringent requirements of the Eighth Amendment's cruel and unusual punishments clause applies. Under the Eight Amendment Sullivan would have to prove that deputies used force maliciously and sadistically for the purpose of causing harm, but under the Fourteenth Amendment's due process clause he only needs to show that their use of force was objectively unreasonable. Sullivan maintains that the use of force would still violate the Eighth Amendment because Deputy Timothy Barker intentionally broke his left arm for the purpose of inflicting pain in retaliation for Sullivan's prior conduct. However, under the Fourteenth Amendment Sullivan does not need to prove Barker's intent, just that Barker's act of twisting his left arm away from his body so hard that his left humerus snapped in half was objectively unreasonable under the circumstances. The action was unreasonable because at that point Sullivan was laying face down on a mattress, was not resisting at all, was not in a position to resist at all even if he wanted to, and even if he were resisting Barker and Sgt. Matthew Ingram had Sullivan under control. They had him under so much control due in part to putting all of their body weight on his body to the point that he had difficulty breathing and was quoted by deputies as saying "I can't breathe." A defenseless prisoner with two grown men on top of him is not a threat capable of justifying pulling his arm away from his body hard enough to break it. Even if Sullivan had tried to resist when Barker uncuffed his hand such force would not have been reasonable. The force is therefore excessive under the Fourteenth Amendment and the resulting pain amounts to a punishment without due process of law. Under Oregon state law, Multnomah County is liable for assault and battery committed by correctional officers. For that reason Judge Zipps dismissed the assault and battery claims against every defendant except Multnomah County. This is good news for Sullivan because it means the county as a municipality could be held liable instead of private individuals should Sullivan prevail at trial. Under the Fourteenth Amendment, Multnomah County is liable if an inmate suffers injury due to a policy or custom. Pain is a form of injury, so if a county policy or custom caused Sullivan to experience significantly more pain while recovering than he otherwise would have then they are liable for the additional pain. In this case the county has a custom of cancelling outside medical appointments if the inmate is scheduled to appear in court on the same day. As a result, Sullivan was not taken back to the hospital for a follow-up appointment until five weeks after his arm was broken instead of one week as requested by the hospital. During that time every follow-up appointment scheduled by the jail conflicted with a court date, so jail staff chose to take him to court instead. When he finally did get to the hospital, the deputies that escorted him there refused to allow his doctor to give him a sarmiento brace. A sarmiento brace is a hard plastic brace designed to immobilize fractured humerus bones (https://ift.tt/3Ezmznw). Deputies claimed that a small metal component made the brace a safety risk, so the best they would allow him to have was a sling. Sullivan later learned from his doctor that had he been given a sarmiento brace the week after his injury that his pain would have been significantly less due to the bones not moving around. Judge Zipps is now giving Sullivan the opportunity to solicit expert testimony to show that his recovery would have been significantly less painful if it were not for county policies prioritizing court appearances over medical appointments and not allowing inmates with broken arms to wear hard plastic braces. Under Oregon state law, Multnomah County is liable for medical negligence if "the County medical staff did not meet the applicable standard of care exercised by a reasonably careful medical professional with like training and expertise in the community." Sullivan believes that he can meet this burden due to medical staff failing to provide him with the level of care that the hospital claims they would have provided had he been taken back there on time. The medical staff at MCDC should have provided Sullivan with a hard plastic brace without any metal parts no later than a week after his injury. We did a Google search for "sarmiento brace" and found results on the first page that don't appear to have any metal components (https://ift.tt/3zmgcAu). Multnomah County was negligent in this case for failing to stock sarmiento braces for inmates that suffer broken arms and not ordering one for Sullivan after his arm was broken. Claims Dismissed Judge Zipps dismissed several claims against Multnomah County and dismissed most of the defendants from the claims that survived. Sullivan's claim of excessive force against Multnomah County and supervising staff members; using force to conduct a strip search without giving Sullivan an opportunity to comply voluntarily; failing to intervene; failing to prescribe stronger pain medication; defamation and claims against individuals personally involved in making treatment decisions were all dismissed. Zipps ruled that Sullivan failed to show that a reasonable jury could have concluded that a county policy or custom was the moving force behind his excessive force claim. For that reason she dismissed excessive force claims against Multnomah County and supervising MCSO staff members which leaves deputies Barker and Ingram as the only defendants in the Fourteenth Amendment excessive force case. We are disturbed by Judge Zipps' ruling regarding the use of force to conduct a strip search without giving Sullivan the opportunity to comply voluntarily. Sullivan compares what happened to tackling a suspect on the street without warning just because you think he will probably resist. Such uses of force are typically considered excessive because suspects are entitled to the opportunity to comply with officers before force can reasonably be used. If an officer tells someone to get on the ground and they try to run that's one thing, but its another to just tackle someone because you think they will probably try to run if asked to get on the ground. Staff used force to take Sullivan to the floor and cut his clothes off using scissors without giving him the opportunity to voluntarily comply with the strip search. Usually when MCDC inmates are placed in disciplinary their cell door is closed, they are asked to strip naked, bend/caught, and pass their clothes through the food slot to receive their jumpsuit. Sullivan was simply taken to the ground and his clothes were cut off. We believe that Sullivan was entitled to the opportunity to cooperate with the strip search and had he been given the opportunity his arm would not have been broken. Sullivan had already stopped resisting before riding the elevator down to the disciplinary unit, so there was no way staff could have known whether or not he would have cooperated with the strip search. Judge Zipps ruled that deputies "were reasonably concerned at that point that Plaintiff was repeatedly not complying with orders and that allowing Plaintiff room to remove his own clothes could pose a threat." Zipps was unpersuaded by 9th Circuit precedent which makes it clear that any use of force to gain compliance with a non-existent order is excessive no matter how reasonable the concern that the inmate would not comply with an order if given the opportunity. See Furnace v. Sullivan, 705 F.3d 1021 (9th Cir. 2013), "Officers cannot justify force as necessary for gaining inmate compliance when inmates have been given no order with which to comply." Zipps' decision not to apply Furnace to Sullivan's case torpedoed his failure to intervene claim. Sullivan claimed that other deputies had the opportunity to stop Barker and Ingram for using force to conduct a strip search without giving Sullivan an order to comply with. Had deputies intervened at that point his arm would not have been broken. By refusing to declare the strip search unlawful Judge Zipps could then argue that there was nothing other deputies could do to stop Barker from suddenly twisting Sullivan's arm to its breaking point. When Sullivan returned to MCDC from the hospital he had with him a prescription for oxycodone every six hours. Jail staff immediately reduced that prescription to Norco three times a day because they don't allow inmates to receive anything stronger than Norco and pills are only passed out en-mass three times a day. Sullivan argued that this policy is deliberately indifferent to the serious medical needs of inmates whose pain management needs require stronger medication delivered more frequently. While it is true that Norco significantly reduced Sullivan's pain, we also believe that Sullivan should be given the opportunity to seek expert testimony as to what difference stronger medication taken more regularly would have made. Zipps is already giving him that opportunity with regards to the lack of a sarmiento brace even thought such braces do more to relieve pain than they do to help bones heal straight. Finally, Judge Zipps dismissed all of Sullivan's defamation claims on the grounds that Sullivan failed to file them in a timely manner. Oregon state law has a 1 year statute of limitations on defamation claims which apparently cannot be circumvented by filing suit in federal court where statutes of limitations are typically longer. Even if Sullivan had filed his defamation claim on time it appears that Oregon state law has a loophole that grants immunity to law enforcement officers that make false statements in official reports. The immunity is due to statutory language saying that officials cannot be sued for defamation based on official statements they make as part of their duties and courts have upheld those laws citing the chilling effect that exposing officers to defamation liability would have. They have basically concluded that forcing officers to tell the truth at all times would be such a burden to the courts that society is better off letting them lie as they wish as long as those lies are not made under oath. A total of 15 named defendants were dismissed from the suit entirely. Defendant Multnomah County Sheriff's Office was dismissed because they are a subdivision of Multnomah County so a suit against the county is the same as a suit against them. Sheriff Mike Reese was dismissed in his individual capacity but remains in his official capacity. The other defendants dismissed from the suit are Wendy Muth, Phil Hubert, Paul Simpson, Uwe Pemberton, Timothy Moore, Gary Glaze, Kurtiss Morrison, David Kovachevich, Erica Barker, Michael Seale, Brook Holter, Angelina Platas, and Halcyon Dodd. #multnomahcountyjail #timothybarker #matthewingram #jenniferzipps

CMC CO James Jones Arrested for Beating Wells Fargo Employee Over Mask

CMC CO James Jones Arrested for Beating Wells Fargo Employee Over MaskCalifornia Men's Colony correctional officer James Allen Jones Jr. was arrested Tuesday for beating up a Wells Fargo employee last month. The employee had demanded that Jones wear a mask in accordance with a county wide indoor mask mandate in order to enter the bank. Instead of just putting a mask on, Jones assaulted the employee in the parking lot before fleeing the scene. Just because he was not willing to wear a mask he was never able to enter the bank, was the subject of a weeks long investigation, and now faces felony charges. When investigators interviewed the victim they discovered that he belongs to an undisclosed ethnic minority group. The victim later claimed that Jones yelled ethnic slurs at him while assaulting him. As a result of those alleged comments, Jones is now charged with a hate crime. While we fully support charging correctional officers with assault when they assault people, we have a problem with charging people with hate crimes bases solely on unproven allegations that they uttered ethnic slurs during the commission of an assault. We already know that bank surveillance footage can likely prove that the assault took place, but we are not aware of that footage having any audio. It seems mighty convenient that the victim now claims to have been called ethnic slurs while assaulted without any proof. Even if the slurs were uttered we think the motive here was the enforcement of the mask mandate and not the ethnicity of the victim. Usually to sustain a hate crime charge the state must prove that the crime was motivated by the victim belonging to protected group not simply that the victim belongs to that group and that the perpetrator has some bias towards that group. There is a difference between attacking someone because of their ethnicity and attacking someone for a different reason who just happens to belong to an ethnic group you dislike. The former is a hate crime and the latter is just a regular crime committed by a bias person. The most serious charge Jones faces is assault resulting in serious bodily injury, but the victim refused medical treatment at the scene. For that reason we do not believe that the victim was seriously injured. Under California law: "'Serious bodily injury' means a serious impairment of physical condition, including, but not limited to, the following: loss of consciousness; concussion; bone fracture; protracted loss or impairment of function of any bodily member or organ; a wound requiring extensive suturing; and serious disfigurement." (https://ift.tt/3ChrY0M). The likelihood of someone not requiring medical attention when injured in that fashion is so small that we think the victim in this case likely suffered little more than superficial injuries such as minor cuts and/or nasty bruises neither of which constitute serious bodily injuries. The final charge on Jones' indictment is for felony threats. The news coverage we've read in this case does not describe the basis for this charge. We are guessing that Jones likely threatened to beat up the employee if he were no allowed to enter the bank before attacking him or her. In California one must threaten "great bodily injury" in order to for a conviction to be sustained (https://ift.tt/3ltSUnj). Media reports have not stated exactly what these threats were, but we suspect they were likely consistent with the behavior exhibited by Jones and probably did not include threats of "great" bodily injury. We think Jones probably threatened to beat up the victim, but probably didn't threaten anything beyond that. Absent proof that he threatened anything beyond a beat down we don't think there is sufficient evidence to convict Jones on this charge either. Conclusion This appears to be a misdemeanor battery case. We don't think that the victim's statements alone can prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Jones uttered ethnic slurs or threatened "great bodily harm," and the injuries in this case are not significant enough to sustain a charge of "serious bodily injury." #jamesjones #wellsfargo #coronavirus #maskmandate #hatecrime

Henry County CO Richard Sanders Arrested for Sex with Inmate

Henry County CO Richard Sanders Arrested for Sex with InmateHenry County correctional officer Richard Sanders was arrested on Thursday for having inappropriate sexual contact with a female inmate at the Henry County Jail. He was booked into the Henry County Jail on three counts of having sexual contact with an inmate. He was held on $25,000 bond. He is no longer employed with the Henry County Sheriff's Office. According to public records, Richard Wade Sanders is a 21 year old resident of Paris, Tennessee. He has no prior criminal record. We are not sure if he is affiliated with any far right groups, but we wonder based on his shirt which features a revolutionary war flag symbol commonly used by right wingers. #richardsanders #jailsex #sexualmisconduct

Disarm The Police Stickers from Punk with a Camera

Disarm The Police Stickers from Punk with a CameraWe were so blown away by this excellent Disarm the Police sticker from Punk with a Camera that we just ordered 10 of them. Have no idea what we will do with them, but we will certainly be on the lookout for good places to post them. We think they would look great on the back bumper of any patrol car that just happens to be parked by itself. That or on the front doors of a police precinct or other law enforcement property. We will also make sure to offer one to any law enforcement officer we come across and ask if they can think of a good place to stick it. #disarmthepolice #punkwithacamera #stickers

SpeakerNews: Hacking Animal Jam

SpeakerNews: Hacking Animal JamPreface As the title suggests, this post will touch on how me and a few other junior security researchers (also nicknamed AstroSquad) were able to hack or pwn a poorly secured kids game called Animal Jam. This all started when one of our researchers (psuedo named Moon) looked into Animal Jam, he messed around with the API and told us that there wasn't a rate limit on the RPS (Request Per Second), one of us wrote a script to automate the registration process and made hundreds of bots that joined the game servers which froze players clients. They shortly added rate limit globally to the API. That was only the start, on August 6 2020, another one of our researchers (psuedo named HellSec) found the IP of one of their boxes, we assumed that we couldn't get into it at first, but within a few hours, we managed to pwn the box. Surprisingly there was not much on the box, it was an AWS box and it was the box for the Animal Jam shop (shop.animaljam.com). With a limited time, we made a simple deface page and overwrote it to the index page. [https://ift.tt/2X5jCKA] As you can see from the compilation above, they believed we had an apparent "ip logger" and other malicious items, this gave us a notorious reputation as this group of "40 year olds in their mothers basement" that are very "1337", which was not the case. From there, we wanted to test how much the community and the company WildWorks was afraid of apparent fake threats. So around October 2020, we made a threat that we were going to hack Animal Jam on Halloween, the community freaked and made a bunch of YouTube videos with WildWorks putting their servers on lock down. It was the biggest "lawl" for us. Now that you understand the context before the main pwn; without further ado, let's get into the main pwn. On August 16, 2021, we discovered a 0day "no-auth" full account takeover on Animal Jam. How? simple. A password reset endpoint. Discovering the vulnerability Basically, one of our researchers used Fiddler to capture all the traffic coming from the Animal Jam application because he was capturing all the traffic he managed to come across the "/disable" endpoint. Every account on Animal Jam is linked to a certain parent account, and since he got the endpoint for "/disable", he was able to look at the post data (the data that is sent with the post request). He noticed on the post data that you were able to send a custom email in the post data, so he replaced the email, not expecting anything until; he received a email from Animal Jam and funny enough, once he clicked on the disable account link, it automatically overrided the email that is already linked to the account with the custom email you put in. [https://ift.tt/3yYGaK1] Only issue with this is that it didn't disable the player, but knowing it did link the account, he searched for other endpoints using Fiddler that had the same post data requirements, until; he found the "/send_password_reset" endpoint. By sending the request, he was able to takeover any players account by sending a post request with the generosity with of course, no authentication at all. Mass Exploitation Now we know the vulnerability, how do we use it on a large scale attack? Simple! All we need to do is write a script to send a post request with the post data and the target with a burner email. - Writing the exploit using python3 Lets start by making a Python script and then importing the request library for sending the post request and sys for argument handling and then supplying the endpoint with the request: [https://ift.tt/3jTAdcR] Although it was patched due to the security advisory we released the next day because Animal Jam was having some issues making a patch, here's a gif & an image of us on the AJHQ account; while on the parents dashboard using this exploit. [https://ift.tt/3zZEIbz] [https://ift.tt/3trqL3B] Conclusion This company Animal Jam is an example of greed over good security, if any companies are reading this, don't be like these guys, but hey, thank you for reading if you got this far, this is my first blog I've made and Ill be making more very soon and this was funny fun to make, if you enjoyed reading this, go ahead and share it. #HackThePlanet #HTP #TrollThePlanet #TTP #animaljam #ajhack #animaljamhack #ajhqhack #animaljamhacked

Muscogee County District Attorney Mark Jones Indicted for Corruption

Muscogee County District Attorney Mark Jones Indicted for CorruptionMuscogee County District Attorney Mark Jones was indicted this week on charges of bribery, influencing a witness, violation of oath by a public officer, attempted violation of oath by a public officer, and attempted subordination of perjury. He now faces the possibility of being suspended for the duration of the proceedings, but Georgia law requires that a three man commission be appointed by the governor first. The charges stem from several events that took place this year. They include accusations that Jones attempted to influence the testimony of Corporal Sherman Hayes in July by asking him to tell a grand jury that he thought a murder victim was cheating on the prime suspect for the purpose of establishing motive. That act formed the basis of counts 1-3 of the indictment for influencing a witness, attempted subordination of perjury, and violation of oath by a public officer. In March, Jones is accused of offering Assistant District Attorneys Sheneka Jones Terry and Kimberly Schwartz, $1,000 each to do specific things in or obtain specific results from cases they were working on. Those acts formed the basis of counts 4-7 which included two counts of bribery and two counts of violation of oath by a public officer. Also in March, Jones is accused of using a threat and engaging in misleading conduct to prevent a witness from testifying via a victim impact impact statement. That act formed the basis of counts 8 and 9 of the indictment for influencing a witness and violation of oath by a public officer. Jones was already facing two felony charges at the time of his indictment. Last year while campaigning for District Attorney there was an incident at a civic center during the taping of a campaign video that resulted in one of the charges. We found that video on Facebook in which a rapper is telling people to go out and vote for Mark Jones and it includes aerial footage of cars doing donuts (https://ift.tt/3toa8pI). 'Apparently at least one vehicle was damaged and Jones now faces a felony charge as a result. In 2019, Jones received his second DUI since 2015 and this time he was charged with a felony because the incident involved an accident in which at least one person was injured (https://ift.tt/2AYVJcg). Despite these problems Jones was still qualified to run for office and won because technically they are pending matters that have yet to yield convictions capable of disqualifying someone from running for elected office. According to public records, Mark Preston Jones is a 40 year old resident of Columbus, Georgia. We found an additional arrest record with an accompanying mugshot (see image above) from 2003 for public intoxication (booking number 5103 and prisoner number 03-45285). He also appears to have used the email address markpjones[at]hotmal.com to create social media accounts. #markjones #bribery #shermanhayes #shenekaterry #kimberlyschwartz

Ex-Kingsmill Officer Nathan Allen Arrested for Kiddie Porn

Ex-Kingsmill Officer Nathan Allen Arrested for Kiddie PornNathan Allen Jr. formerly of the Kingsmill and Hampton police departments was indicted Friday by a federal grand jury on six charges related to child porn. Two of those charges are for attempting to produce child pornography involving a girl in 2019 and 2021 when she was just 11 and 12 years old. Three of the charges are for receiving child pornography by downloading files at his home this year. The last charge is for accessing child pornography with intent to view it by clicking on a file. Investigators also say that Allen's IP address has been linked to hundreds of pornographic images featuring kids, but have not said exactly how that factors into his charges. According to the media, the criminal complaint also details several online videos obtained by investigators, but we are not sure exactly what role those videos play in this case. Allen worked as a Hamilton Police officer from February of 2020 until February of 2021. After that he landed a job with the Kingsmill Police Department in Williamsburg where he worked from mid-May to August 3, 2021. He was arrested on August 4th and lost his job due to being held without bail in the Western Tidewater Regional Jail. Allen was initially granted pre-trial release with a $5,000 bond, but the judge put it on hold when prosecutors appealed citing Allen's "significant concerning behavior with respect to children." Following his arrest, Allen told investigators that he has been viewing child pornography since he was 15 years old. He also claimed he was glad he had gotten caught because he had tried unsuccessfully to quit several times. Unfortunately, nobody has invented a patch for that. According to a press release from the United States Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Virginia (see PDF icon above map), Allen faces a mandatory minimum of 15 years in federal prison if convicted of attempting to produce child porn and a mandatory minimum of 5 years for the receiving charges. According to public records, Nathan Allen Jr. is a 33 year old resident of Virginia Beach, Virginia. We have his address, but are not disclosing it because he shared that home with his wife and 8 children, plus we don't think he is likely to be granted pre-trial release because of how rare pre-trial release is in federal cases of this magnitude. If he is released please let us know and if we can verify that we will gladly paste his address into the body of this article. #nathanallen #childpornography #sexoffenders #gypsycops

Michelle Rose Tobin - CI Henderson Police Department

Michelle Rose Tobin - CI Henderson Police DepartmentArrested for Felony Possession of Heroin. Magistrate posted bond at $7k. Then shortly after bond was changed to secure bond. The defendant often is fearful and has paranoid dillusions about her family needing to go into witness protection. All telltale signs she signed her life away as a CI (Confidential Informant) for Henderson Police. The police also released her with her heroin and paraphernalia. Defendant suffers from methamphetamine induced psychosis where she claims everyone else is an informant. All due to her own inner self guilt and shame. I do not believe it is wrong to get drugs off the streets and sometimes people get stuck in horrible situations where they are corerced into agreeing for their freedom and family. Little do they know the discovery process will reveal them in most cases to the criminal being prosecuted. #tobin #rose #michelle

Complaint Against Bob Songer, Klickitat county sheriff

Complaint Against Bob Songer, Klickitat county sheriffJaneece K Smith 260 Oak St Goldendale, Wa 98620 (509) 261-1618 JaneeceSmith76gmail.com Aug 29, 2021 To whom it may Concern; I was born in Richland Washington and am a United State Citizen with Constitutional Rights and Civil liberties that are being violated and ignored by Bob Songer, Klickitat County Sheriff. I am a Resident of Goldendale, Klickitat County and have been since fall of 2005. In 2002 My Aunt & Uncle bought 3 Creeks resort and my cousin went to grade school here and Graduated from Goldendale High School. I have worked in real estate for over a decade throughout Klickitat County. I was the ice cream girl driving around town as my ex husband had the local Ice cream business. His Parents both long time community members being a school bus driver & school teacher here for over 19 years. I am appalled by the behavior of my elected politicians and that I voted for Bob Songer as a 15 yr community member. What is going on, and what I have witnessed in the Bickleton/Roosevelt Area of Klickitat County needs to stop now. Mark Lessley Allen manipulated Bob Songer using the Woman Card; YES I SAID IT!!! To ignore Bob Songer's history with the female gender, you would be a fool. Mark Allen also played the victim of being targeted by a group of people. Bob Songer bought Mark Allens song and dance hook line and sinker. Mark Lessley Allen, in Feb 2014 after his fight with Mark Hays, started planning how to legally murder Mark Hays or anyone else he deemed necessary to die. It was disturbing He just got worse as he landed himself in more and more fights with neighbors. None of these fights, threats, or altercations have happened on Mark Allens property. It was on the other neighbors properties and Mark Allen has NEVER been Arrested for Any of it. From the pavement it is Private Property that comes with rights. Private property rights are a foundation of our constitution. What do you need a 1 st or 2nd amendment to defend, if you have no private property? Mark Lessley Allen is allowed by Bob Songer, who claims to be the Supreme law enforcement in Klickitat county, to violate the constitutional rights & civil liberties by threats of force with violence using weapons like guns and his vehicle. He has verbally assaulted, threatened and hit neighbors on their own properties after asking him to leave and not come back. Mark Allen has stalked the neighbors including myself by trespassing on our private property and hiding in the bushes using things like parobolic microphones to listen to private conversations on Private properties.. I made reports to Bob Songer concerning Mark Lessley Allens behavior towards me and what i witnessed him do to neighbors. I am told there are NO REPORTS but Bob Songer says under Oath in Nov 2019 letter to Rogers case file that I made reports. I demand those reports, or a written explanation as to why they were not done. I demand a written explanation under oath as to why they were not done when I reported it. Washington State Voters constitutionally dictated by law specific duties to Sheriff; 36.28.010 General duties. The sheriff is the chief executive officer and conservator of the peace of the county. In the execution of his or her office, he or she and his or her deputies: Shall arrest and commit to prison all persons who break the peace, or attempt to break it, and all persons guilty of public offenses; Shall defend the county against those who, by riot or otherwise, endanger the public peace or safety; Shall execute the process and orders of the courts of justice or judicial officers, when delivered for that purpose, according to law; Shall execute all warrants delivered for that purpose by other public officers, according to the provisions of particular statutes; Shall attend the sessions of the courts of record held within the county, and obey their lawful orders or directions; Shall keep and preserve the peace in their respectivecounties, and quiet and suppress all affrays, riots, unlawful assemblies and insurrections, for which purpose, and for the service of process in civil or criminal cases, and in apprehending or securing any person for felony or breach of the peace, they may call to their aid such persons, or power of their county as they may deem necessary. RCW 36.28.011 Duty to make complaint. In addition to the duties contained in RCW 36.28.010, it shall be the duty of all sheriffs to make complaint of all violations of the criminal law, which shall come to their knowledge, within their respective jurisdictions. RCW 59.12.010 Forcible entry Every person is guilty of a forcible entry who either(1) By breaking open windows, doors or other parts of a house, or by fraud, intimidation or stealth, or by any kind of violence or circumstance of terror, enters upon or into any real property; or(2) Who, after entering peaceably upon real property, turns out by force, threats or menacing conduct the party in actual possession. -The Constitution protects property rights through the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments Due Process Clauses and, more directly, through the Fifth Amendments Takings Clause: nor shall private property be taken for public use without just compensation. There are two basic ways government can take property: (1) outright, by condemning the property and taking title; and (2) through regulations that take uses, leaving the title with the owner so called regulatory takings. In the first case, the title is all too often taken not for a public but for a private use; and rarely is the compensation received by the owner just. In the second case, the owner is often not compensated at all for his losses; and when he is, the compensation is again inadequate. -18 U.S. Code CHAPTER 119WIRE AND ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS INTERCEPTION AND INTERCEPTION OF ORAL COMMUNICATIONS -18 U.S. Code 2511 - Interception and disclosure of wire, oral, or electronic communications prohibited -RCW 9.73.030 Intercepting, recording, or divulging private communication Consent required Crime reports and stats help dictate funding for Sheriff dept; Bob Songer applied a lot of the hands off and not following through with gathering witnessed statements, written evidence, photo evidence, video evidence showing Mark Allen was escalating in his dangerous behaviour to property damage, threats of violence with his guns and his vehicle, road rage that went to the extent of running a minor child off the road on a neighbors private property, that again he was not supposed to be on. The lack of reports and investigation into these crimes and similar crimes in other neighborhoods across Klickitat County is extremely vile. Conflict of Interest; Bob Soner, Klickitat County Sheriff and Mark Lessley Allen both claim to be good friends. Therefore Bob Songer MUST remove himself from any situation concerning Mark Allen to eliminate the Conflict of Interest. I demand equal protection under the law. Bob Songer said publicly that Mark Allen was receiving death threats and he would investigate and they would be prosecuted to the extent of the law, so why is only Mark Allen getting his application of law but no one else? I have not received this protection under the law by Bob Songer. Bob Songer, Klickitat County Sheriff would have to determine without a jury, which is my constitutional right, that I committed perjury when I gave my account of what happened on June 16, 2019 in order to release Mark Lessley Allen without arrest. Bob Songer also violates my 1st amendment right by not notifying me of ANY and ALL crimes Mark Lessley Allen Claims I have committed and so on I demand a written responce as to why Mark Allen has never been arrested for his crimes and why he was not arrested for the Pre-meditated Murder of John Roger Swigart and Why the witness/victims/survivors to Mark Allen crimes have not been given equal protection under the law. I Demand Bob Songer refer the Matter concerning John Roger Swigart, Mark Lessley Allen, myself and neighbors over to a Fedreal Law enforcement agency for full investigation into the situation and the actions of Bob Songer, Klickitat County Sheriff be fully investigated as well. Dont forget there are Federal Codes concerning Conspiracy to commit, murder, harm, kill people. Bob Songer, Klickitat County Sheriff and one of his deputies told my neighbors to Leave their family home and Take their friends up to their property and Solve their own problem That is conspiring to kill and/or commit MURDER!!! All correspondence must go to janeecesmith76gmail.com or 81213 E 2nd st Hermiston Oregon 97838 concerning this matter. Sincerely, Janeece K Smith #bobsongerklickitatcountywashingtongunviolence

Aurora Officers and Medics Indicted for Killing Elijah McClain

Aurora Officers and Medics Indicted for Killing Elijah McClainAurora Police officers Randy Roedema, Nathan Woodyard, and Jason Rosenblatt were indicted today along with paramedics Jeremy Cooper and Peter Cichuniec on charges of manslaughter and negligent homicide in the 2019 death of Elijah McClain. They also face a variety of less serious assault charges. We profiled most of them last year and are incorporating that article by reference in support of these charges (https://ift.tt/2BLu9Ql). We said then and we say today that "A competent paramedic would not inject a patient with drugs without checking for potential side effects including conflicts with current medications and allergies before administering the shot unless the life of the patient depended on immediate treatment." That paramedic was Peter Cichuniec who at the request of officers Woodyard, Rosenblatt, and Roedema gave McClain the ketamine that ultimately killed him. We primarily blame Cichuniec for McClain's death because its one thing for frustrated officers to ask paramedics if there is anything they can give someone to calm them down, but its another for a trained medical professional to grant that request right away without any diligence on behalf of the patient. Cichuniec never would have had to consider giving McClain anything in the first place had he not been wrongfully stopped and assaulted by officers on his way home from the store. McClain had purchased groceries while wearing a ski mask, but didn't break any laws. In the officers' defense anyone looks suspicious entering a store wearing a ski mask no matter what color they are, but just wearing a ski mask even if in a bank is not a crime. Officers had no cause to stop let alone use force on McClain. McClain was understandably upset and simply asked that he be left alone. Then officers took hold of him and he allegedly tried to grab one of their guns, but the only evidence supporting that allegation is an officer saying "he just grabbed your gun dude" while the body camera is moving back and forth so fast everything is a blur. Officers often yell out baseless accusations like that to justify using force knowing full well that the body camera footage won't be able to prove or is disprove them. Before the ambulance even arrived officers could be heard saying that paramedics would be giving McClain ketamine to calm him down. That indicates that the police and not paramedics were calling the shots as far as medical treatment was concerned. The indictment says that the cause of death was ketamine overdose. Some might argue that the paramedics alone should be charged with manslaughter because they administered the lethal shot. We think they all share the blame because the officers were directing paramedics to violate their Hippocratic oaths. The indictment of Jeremy Cooper is a surprise to us because we were under the impression that Cichuniec prescribed and administered the ketamine. According to the indictment (see PDF link above map) Cooper "was the medic in charge of the call and medical decisions" while Cichuniec "was in charge of the crew and responsible for scene safety." Jason Rosenblatt was fired last year after he and three other officers were caught on camera mocking McClain's death (https://ift.tt/2BBmW5x). They went to a memorial site laughing and smiling as they posed for photos while reenacting McClain's death. The other defendants have been suspended without pay. #nathanwoodyard #jasonrosenblatt #randyroedema #elijahmcclain
