“Why are you not allowing people to get together and hold rallies as the constitution provides?” one man, who later identified himself as Yevgeny Shimenkov, 67, said to an officer.

“The constitution is for you. For us, there are orders of our commander,” the policeman replied.

“You must know your orders are criminal. Your commander is a criminal and you are his accomplices,” Shimenkov said.

Tacoma home trashed, homeowner devastated

TACOMA, Wash. – Someone with cruel intentions placed a fake ad on Craigslist, inviting people to take whatever they wanted for free from a Tacoma home.

Homeowner Laurie Raye says there’s little left now of the house. The outside of the home is trashed, the inside is nearly gutted and covered in graffiti. Raye says she is devastated.

“I was attached to this home because it used to be my mom’s,” says Raye.

The homeowner says from the light fixtures to the hot water heater, everything is gone – including the kitchen sink.

Raye recently evicted the tenant and cleaned out the rental, but she would soon be the one taken to the cleaners.
