The Murder of Tony Timpa

Tony Timpa wailed and pleaded for help more than 30 times as officers pinned his shoulders, knees and neck to the ground for over 13 minutes. After Timpa died, the officers mocked him because they thought he was napping. Timpa had called the police to come help him because he was afraid and suffering from depression and schizophrenia. 15 minutes later he was dead. Charges against all three officers were dropped. No one protested. WARNING: GRAPHIC SIX MINUTE VIDEO OF THE MURDER OF TONY TIMPA.
Tony Timpa died in August 2016 at age 32. His family has fought since then to find answers in his death.

Shaun King finally gets something right:
STOP generically telling us to VOTE in response to all of the police brutality we have right now. Yes we should vote. But we have to be VERY specific. Democrats, from top to bottom, are running the cities with the worst police brutality in America right now. We voted for them.

Johnstown Flood Kills 2,209



On this day in 1889, the Johnstown Flood killed 2,209 people.  The flood occurred when the South Fork Dam, 60 miles east of Pittsburgh, collapsed after heavy rains.  The dam had recently been bought and modified by the local hunting club, which had turned the area into a vacation retreat for notable millionaires, including Andrew Carnegie.  

As the storm worsened, a dam engineer noticed that a spillway was blocked and might cause the dam to collapse.  He tried to notify all local townspeople but telegraph lines were down or the warning was ignored because there had been many previous false alarms.

Ninety-nine entire families died in the flood, including 396 children. One hundred twenty-four women and 198 men were widowed, 98 children were orphaned. One-third of the dead, 777 people, were never identified; their remains were buried in the "Plot of the Unknown" in Grandview Cemetery in Westmont.

Clara Barton led 50 volunteers in the Red Cross’ first major relief effort.  

The Johnstown area suffered from several subsequent floods until 1936, when the Army Corps of Engineers reworked the river and declared it “flood free.”  However, in 1972, a “100 year flood” killed 78 people, caused $200 million in damage, and rendered 50,000 people homeless.

In 2016 a hydraulic analysis concluded that the hunting club’s pre-1889 modifications to the dam severely weakened it, rendering it unable to withstand severe storms like the one which caused the Johnstown Flood.

The Battle of Seven Pines

Robert E. Lee Takes Over Confederate Army For Injured Gen. Johnston



On this day in 1862, Union and Confederate forces started the Battle of Seven Pines, a little known but bloody skirmish that proved to have a big impact on the remainder of the Civil War.  The outmanned Confederate forces, led by General Joseph Johnston, tried to draw the Union forces, led by Gen. George McClellan, into a trap as the Rebels retreated to their capital, Richmond.  As the Yankees struggled to cross a river and marsh area, Johnston ordered three divisions to attack one of McClellan’s vulnerable flanks from three directions.  The inexperienced Rebels bungled the maneuver, allowing the Union forces to bring in reinforcements.  The battle was essentially a draw but 6,000 Union soldiers and 5,000 Confederate soldiers were killed.  McClellan was so distraught over the carnage he witnessed that he became far more cautious in his future battles, causing Lincoln to replace him months later.  Confederate General Johnston was shot and seriously wounded during the battle, requiring his replacement by Gen. Robert E. Lee, who to this time had served without distinction in Western Virginia.
