Milwaukee – On Thursday, police arrested a senior citizen age 75 for fatally shooting a 13-year-old boy near the victims home at the 1900 block of W. Arrow St. The 75-year-old man who is the victim’s neighbor apparently confronted the teenager before 9:48 a.m. at the 2000 block of W. Greenfield Ave. on the sidewalk and after a brief altercation, the senior citizen pulled out a handgun and fatally shot the teen. The teen who was identified by a family friend as Darius Simmons was shot multiple times in the chest, but managed to run back to his residence on Arrow St. The teen was later pronounced dead at the Children’s Hospital.
The elderly man stayed at the scene and turned himself to police. The suspect’s handgun was recovered at the scene and the teenager was not armed when he was fatally shot by the elderly man, according to the Milwaukee Police Department Source.
A preliminary investigation indicates, that the 75-year-old man believed that the teenager had broken into the suspect’s home several days ago. Several shotguns worth at least $3,000 were reported stolen from the elderly man’s home.
The suspect had placed surveillance cameras shortly after his home was broken in and robbed. The elderly man saw the teen on Greenfield Ave. and approached him about the previous break-in into the suspect’s home.
The victim’s mother told police that the suspect had blamed her son for breaking into his home, but that her son was at school when it occured and claimed he was innocent, according to police.
Police haven’t released the name of the slain teen or the suspect. They continue to investigate the fatal incident that claimed the life of a teenager.

Madison – On Wednesday, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) has confirmed that Wisconsin gained 23,608 jobs in 2011. An estimated 96% of the state employers or 160,000 employers quarterly tax and unemployement insurance reports to the Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development (DWD) showed job increases.
John Dipko, DWD spokesperson said, the BLS made a slight change in the numbers that were sent to them earlier this month, finding 23,608 jobs were actually created in 2011, rather than the 23,321 jobs initially reported by the state.
Governor Scott Walker’s (R) administration is taking credit for the jobs increase in 2011. Walker’s re-election campaign spokesperson Ciara Matthews is now seeking for Tom Barrett, a Democratic candidate for governor to apologize for alleging that under Walker, the state had lost more than 33,000 jobs. Barrett’s campaign ads on television networks throughout the state have been attacking Walker on projected job losses.

Thousands Of Early Voters Cast Their Votes In The Recall Governor Scott Walker Election In Wisconsin

Close to the June 5th election and thousands have already cast their votes in Wisconsin.

By H. Nelson Goodson
May 29, 2012

Madison – More than 165,000 early voters have cast their votes in the recall Republican Governor Scott Walker election in Wisconsin. The last day to cast an early absentee ballot by mail is 4:00 p.m. on Friday or 5:00 p.m. in person at an available polling place.
Most of the votes were reported in the Madison, Milwaukee and northern counties, according to the state Government Accountabliity Board (GAB).
By last Wednesday, at least 90,000 voting-age residents had cast their absentee ballots. In Milwaukee by the second day of voting, more than 1,100 had voted early. The GAB is expecting a turnout of 60% to 65% or between 2.6M to 2.8M voters for the June 5 election.
Voters are not required to show a valid ID to vote.
For the first time, the voting absentee polling places in Madison and Milwaukee remained opened over the Memorial Day weekend. Get out the vote organizers having been taking early voters to the polls in vans or vehicles. Lines of voters could be seen throughout the weekend of the Memorial Day holiday in Milwaukee and other areas.
Republicans are accusing the organizers as Democrat partisans trying to influence early voting in support of Tom Barrett, a Democrat attempting to unseat Governor Walker. Walker defeated Barrett in 2010. But get out to vote organizers say, they are just getting people out to vote early and are not trying to influence the vote.
The GOP believes that most of the early absentee voting taking place throughout the state could be a treat to getting Governor Walker re-elected.
Last Friday, investigative information released by a reliable source indicated that Governor Walker and up to five others in the governor’s circle while he was Milwaukee County executive are expected to face multiple charges resulting from the John Doe criminal investigation. The Milwaukee County District Attorney’s Office (DA) is expected to file charges against Walker and five other suspects on allegations that they used county time to campaign to help elect Walker as governor while working and restricted other Walker employees from exposing alleged unethical acts to the DA probe.
Walker has denied any wrong doing or having any knowledge of an underground e-mail operation that was discovered adjacent to his former Milwaukee County executive office created to help him get elected as governor. Walker maintains that the Milwaukee DA has no evidence implicating him of any wrong doing in the John Doe probe, but created a legal defense fund and has hired two attorneys costing Walker more than $100,000 in wake of the John Doe probe. Hispanic News Network U.S.A. has learned that another $100,000 has been transferred into the legal defense fund from Walker’s campaign.
At least 6 people have been charge in the John Doe investigation, including three Milwaukee County former aids, who worked for Walker when he was the county executive.
Some GOP members doubt that Walker would be charged at all, but if the information proves to be reliable then indeed Walker and five others are facing charges that will no doubt set the GOP back on its agenda to make Wisconsin a Red state.

Cognitive Dissidence Blogger Engages In False And Inaccurate Information On Walker’s John Doe Probe

Editorial:

A known socialist blog “Cognitive Dissidence” provided false and misleading information without getting the actual facts about an HNNUSA report.

May 27, 2012

Milwaukee (HNNUSA) – On Saturday, Christopher Liebenthal, aka, “Capper” who blogs on a known socialist and leftist blog “Cognitive Dissidence” provided false and misleading information about H. Nelson Goodson, editor of Hispanic News Network U.S.A. (HNNUSA). Liebenthal posted that Goodson’s article “Walker And Five Others To Be Charged In John Doe Probe After The June Election” at link: http://bit.ly/KhvWsM was false. Liebenthal reasoning to write that it was false, simply because in his belief, the HNNUSA report would some how keep voters from voting in the June 5 election. HNNUSA was just breaking news and no actual studies exist that such news reporting would actually keep people from voting.
Liebenthal, a social worker at Milwaukee County and member of Local 645 Milwaukee Area Labor Council failed to provide any fact finding investigative information that Goodson’s breaking news that Governor Scott Walker (R) and five others are expected to be charged after the June 5 election in the John Doe probe was inaccurate. But how ironic, Liebenthal in his posting also agreed, that he expects Governor Walker to be charged some time after the election. “I do believe that Walker and several others will be indicted, but I have no idea as of when,” Liebenthal wrote.
Liebenthal was suspended for 10 days without pay in early 2011 from his Milwaukee County job for using a work computer over a course of a year for his personal business and wasting county time, Geri Lyday, interim director of the Department of Health and Human Services confirmed last year.
Liebenthal has attempted to distort certain facts about Goodson and actually seemed to have lost any credibilty that he had left as a blogger, one might assume. His readers with any common sense should also question Liebenthal where he got the idea that a news breaking report will keep voters from voting.
Liebenthal claimed that Goodson is a right wing and a close associate of Aaron Rodriguez, a conservative blogger with the Hispanic Conservative, which Goodson denied and said, “It is blatant inaccurate and false information that Liebenthal is posting on his socialist blog.”
Goodson said, “I’m not a right wing as Liebenthal wants people or his readers to believe. He must be dreaming or sleep writing in his blog, one might think.”
“Mr. Liebenthal never took the time to actually verify his information about my person. I don’t know Mr. Rodriguez personally, but have followed his posted and published articles, as I do with all media and blog postings that are of interest and news worthy,” Goodson said. 
It seems, Liebenthal also failed to do a follow up when Goodson and HNNUSA broke a story back in November 2011 when Goodson first reported that the Recall Walker campaign organizers had surpassed the halfway mark to recall Walker, shortly after the recall began. In fact, the Democrats and organizers were forced to release the actual numbers several days later showing that indeed they had surpassed the halfway mark of petition signatures needed to recall Walker.
Liebenthal must have missed the Democrat announcement because Goodson indeed was the breaking HNNUSA blogger news source to report that they had surpassed the halfway mark.
One thing for sure, Liebenthal is just expressing his sole opinion on his blog and shouldn’t be taken seriously due to a lack of any fact finding skills for a mere blogger. He strongly believes that a conspiracy by HNNUSA is trying to hamper the recall election, but in real life reporting, Goodson was just reporting breaking news as it was happening before anyone else or main stream media.
Mr. Liebenthal should no doubt continue to blog for entertainment purposes, but someday he might become a credible blogger. If he stops dreaming while sleep writing in his blog, we hope.

Wisconsin Governor Walker And Five Others To Be Charged In John Doe Probe After The June Election

The GOP is facing a big blow after the next June 5 election, if Governor Walker and five others are charged in the John Doe probe in Milwaukee County.

By H. Nelson Goodson

Milwaukee – On Friday, investigative information released by a reliable source indicated that Governor Scott Walker (R) and up to five others in the governor’s circle while he was Milwaukee County executive could face several felony charges resulting from the John Doe investigation. The Milwaukee County District Attorney’s Office (DA) might file charges against Walker and five other suspects, if allegations that they used county time to campaign and help elect Walker as governor while working can be proven. Also, that other Walker employees were restricted from exposing alleged unethical acts to the DA probe.May 26, 2012
So far, at least six have been charged in the John Doe investigation, including two Walker former staffers and another that is waiting sentencing for being convicted for two misdemeanor counts of political solicitation by a public employee. But the former Walker’s staffer sentencing has been postponed to a later date to prevent an influence of the June election. Three others were also charged in connection with the John Doe probe, including one conviction for funneling at least $72,800 of illegal funds to Walker’s governor campaign race in 2010.
The DA and Federal Bureau of Investigation discovered an underground e-mail network being operated by Walker staffers in an office adjacent to Walker’s Milwaukee County Executive office. Walker denied that he had any knowledge of the underground e-mail operation to elect him governor.
Walker has set up a defense fund and has hired attorneys. Speculation about Walker being charged in the John Doe probe has been circulating throughout political circles in both the Republican and Democratic parties.
Some GOP members doubt that Walker would be charged at all, but if the information proves to be reliable then indeed Walker and five others are facing charges that will no doubt set the GOP back on its agenda to make Wisconsin a Red state.
