21-year-old who racked up three felony gun cases since June 2020 gets six years in prison

A 21-year-old man who racked up three separate gun-related felony charges since June 2020, including a May 2021 drive-by shooting in East Bremerton, was sentenced late last month to six years in prison.
Jeremiah Samuel Johnston already had a gun-related conviction on his record, for first-degree robbery in 2018 when he was just shy of his 18th birthday, which prohibited him from possessing firearms.
Starting with a June 14, 2020, incident, Johnston was arrested for pointing a 9 mm pistol at a group of people in the parking lot of the Port Washington Condominiums, 1900 Naval Ave.
Johnston told Bremerton police investigators the gun was not loaded but he wanted to scare them, “So they understood it was serious,” a detective wrote. Johnston assisted police in recovering the gun, which had a damaged serial number. For this, he pleaded guilty on Jan. 24 to a count of second-degree assault.
Next, in February 2021, while the first case was pending and he was not in custody, Johnston was accused of possessing a stolen Glock handgun found at his ex-girlfriend's house in Poulsbo where he had been staying. For this Johnston pleaded guilty to a count of first-degree unlawful possession of a firearm.
Finally, in May 2021, Johnston was accused of shooting from a car at another car in what police described as a gang-related shooting near the intersection of Halvorson Avenue and East 31st Street, a residential area. A tally by investigators found 11 shots had been fired. No one was injured.

After Johnston was arrested for the drive-by shooting, his bail was set at $250,000.
Investigators wrote in court documents that they tied Johnston to the gun used in the drive-by after he posted photos of an identical firearm to social media.
Though Kitsap County Superior Court Judge Melissa Hemstreet sentenced Johnston for each of the three cases, the drive-by shooting conviction carried with it the longest sentence, 75 months.
In addition to pleading guilty to the drive-by charge, Johnson also pleaded guilty to another count of first-degree unlawful possession of a firearm.
In the juvenile conviction in Kitsap County Superior Court for first-degree robbery, Johnston was accused of holding up at a Silverdale gas station with a shotgun in April 2018, making off with about $60. He received about two years in juvenile detention. The driver for the robbery, 19 at the time, received three years in prison.


Damn only 6years... That's bullshit
 
Iraq pays last chunk of $52.4 billion Gulf War Reparations

GENEVA (Reuters) - Iraq has completed payment of $52.4 billion to compensate individuals, companies and governments who proved damages due to its 1990 invasion and occupation of Kuwait, the United Nations reparations body said on Wednesday.
The U.N. Compensation Commission, set up by the U.N. Security Council after the seven-month occupation of the emirate and U.S.-led defeat of Saddam Hussein's troops in the Gulf War, received a portion of proceeds from Iraqi oil sales. The rate varied over the 30 years and was most recently 3%.

In all, about 2.7 million claims, with an asserted value of $352.5 billion were lodged, but the UNCC approved payment of $52.4 billion covering 1.5 million successful claims.

The largest claim approved by the UNCC was for $14.7 billion in damages incurred by the Kuwait Petroleum Corporation (KPC) after departing Iraqi troops set fire to oil wells.

Payments were suspended between October 2014 and April 2018 because of the Iraqi government's security and budgetary problems in its fight against Islamic State insurgents.

"With the final payment of compensation made on 13 January 2022, all compensation awarded by the Commission has now been paid in full," the Geneva-based body said in a statement following a closed-door meeting of its Governing Council.

"The Government of Iraq has fulfilled its international obligations to compensate all claimants awarded compensation by the Commission for losses and damages suffered as a direct result of Iraq’s unlawful invasion of Kuwait," it said.

Bathsheba Crocker, U.S. ambassador to the U.N. in Geneva, tweeted on Tuesday after talks with Qahtan Al-Janabi, Iraqi under-secretary for multilateral and legal affairs, and other diplomats ahead of Wednesday's meeting: "We commend Iraq for completing payments for all UNCC claims, a historic achievement."

I've been saying that shit for the longest, the black on black crime talking point is complete bs and I have no idea why many of us fall for that phrase... True we have violence in our communities (and I do wish there would be a dramatic decrease), but so does other races, the difference is their crimes don't get plastered everywhere in the media and repeated verbally at nauseum...
