Manhattan, NYC - On Thursday, a Manhattan grand jury in New York found former U.S. President Donald J. Trump, 78, guilty of 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in the Hush Money criminal trial.

After the trial Trump stated, "This was a rigged and disgraceful trial."

Trump is facing up to 4 years in prison for each felony count.

A sentencing hearing is set for July 11, 2024.

Trump engaged in mass fraud to avoid paying state taxes by devaluing his properties when in fact they were worth more.

On Thursday, U.S. President Joe Biden (D) released a statement saying "no one is above the law."

Hilario Deleon, the Chairman of the Republican Party in Milwaukee County released the following statement after Trump's conviction. The Trump MAGA Cult (RNC 2024) National Convention is scheduled in Milwaukee  for July 15-18, 2024. 

Local Antifa, socialists, labor unions and immigrant rights groups have made it clear, that Trump and his MAGA cult including supremacist followers are not welcome in Milwaukee for their known anti-immigrant hate and racist rhetoric towards people of color.

Deleon stated, "Today is a dark day for the Republic.

Instead of spending time, focusing on addressing the problems such as Inflation , the Border, Crime and much more, The Biden Administration and the Democrat party used every resource possible to create a political witch hunt. 

 

This trial has been a political persecution of the leading candidate of the opposition party, which is only seen in Banana Republic’s.

The Sentencing is scheduled 4 days before the Republican National Convention... They're not even trying to hide the ELECTION INTERFERENCE!!!! 

This doesn’t change anything in my opinion, and instead makes me and millions of other people want to vote for Donald J. Trump even more."

On Wednesday, Governor Tony Evers (D) signed an executive order declaring a state of emergency in regards to the Republican National Convention (RNC) 2024 to be held in July in Milwaukee that would allow all law enforcement  (police) having arrest powers to prepare and act in case they are needed in an emergency between July 15 to 18, 2024 during the RNC taking place in Milwaukee.

Governor Evers most likely wants to prepare from another insurrection melee occurring by the Trump MAGA cult and supremacist patriots engaging in lawlessness acts in Milwaukee.

Appleton, Wisconsin - On Thursday, Ricardo Mondragon-Martinez, 39, was ordered to pay a $150 fine after he pleaded no contest to a reduced charge of operate without or carrying a license, which was reduced from a misdemeanor criminal charge to a forfeiture U under a plea agreement with the Outagamie County prosecutor.

Mondragon-Martinez was extradited to Outagamie County in early May to face a 2018 misdemeanor charged for operate without or carrying a license on a warrant. Mondragon-Martinez had been arrested in Milwaukee for intoxication, which is not a criminal charge (severity is a forfeiture) at Kosciuszko Park where he had been sleeping while homeless.

The Wisconsin Brown Berets helped to pay Mondragon-Martinez's cash bail bonds in both Outagamie and Milwaukee Counties, and were able to help him rent an apartment in the Southside of Milwaukee.

Mondragon-Martinez became well known in Milwaukee on Cinco de Mayo 2024 (May 5th) after a social media Facebook video went viral showing him being victimized of an aggressive assault (harassed) by Aaron Thompson III, 26, at Milwaukee County Mitchell Park. Mondragon-Martinez who is employed at Paletería Yayo and had his popsicle street cart taken by Thompson without his permission, tipped over on the pavement and Thompson is then seen laughing as he fled the scene.

Thompson was later identified in social media after a Southside Milwaukee couple offered $500 to anyone that would identify Thompson. 

So far, Rene Adan, the owner of Paletería Yayo and Mondragon-Martinez have not press any criminal charges against Thompson who eventually did apologized to Mondragon-Martinez and gave him $60.

Mondragon-Martinez viral video of his aggressive assault was also included in a Cinco de Mayo 2024 chaotic "Get Low" music YouTube video by Ocean Legacy Cinematic (advance to minute 15:06: https://youtu.be/s0uNv4WNk-8).

The Cinco de Mayo 2024 Chaotic Impromptu Melee In The Southside Of Milwaukee Was Distasteful And Disrespectful To The Mexican Descent Community In Milwaukee

Editorial:

The last days of May are upon us and yet, the Latino and Mexican descent community in the Southside of Milwaukee has not heard from their elected Latino and non-Latino public officials regarding the Cinco de Mayo 2024 chaotic melee.

Hispanic News Network U.S.A.

May 25, 2024

Milwaukee, Wisconsin - No doubt, we as a Southside of Milwaukee vibrant Latino and Mexican descent community that generates one of the highest tax revenues for the City of Milwaukee have experienced distasteful and disrespectful acts and unlawful behavior by certain individuals (diverse group) during our historic celebrations during the Cinco de Mayo, and have even video recorded a music video (https://youtu.be/s0uNv4WNk-8) portraying that in the Southside of Milwaukee, chaotic, illegal public intoxication, allegedly engaging on illegal THC smoking and unlawful acts while some were flashing deadly weapons during a historic community celebration is now the "Norm". Let me inform you, it is not the NORM, and we, as a diverse community should never allow it to become the norm and we should condemn such behavior whether being perpetuated by Blacks, Latinos, Whites or other, because it only leads to a proliferation of chaotic behaviors and illegal acts, which the consequences are very devastating and it targets to disrupt tranquility in our community leading to the demise of law and order including public safety for our entire community.

In the last two Cinco de Mayo impromptu flag waving parading and cruising in the Southside of Milwaukee, especially along S. César E. Chávez Drive, multiple shootings were reported. No one was reported killed.

But on August 20, 2023, during a Puerto Rican Impromptu flag waving parading and cruising, Carlos M. Cruz Sr., 55, was fatally shot at the 1500 block of W. Bruce St. in the Southside of Milwaukee. A 16-year-old male suspect was arrested in connection with Cruz's murder.

In 2024, Deon D. Nabors, 18, was convicted for discharging an automatic handgun at S. Chávez Drive and W. Scott Street during the Cinco de Mayo 2023 impromptu chaotic gathering. Nabors was sentenced to 8 years in prison including one year in Huber. At the time of his arrest, Nabors was just 17.

This Cinco de Mayo 2024, at least three individuals were arrested and charged for two separate shootings. According to police, on May 5th at around 8:17 p.m., both Timothy J. McGee, 24, and Marcus Deon Kelly, 33, were firing gunshots at the intersection of W. Greenfield Ave. and W. Historic Mitchell Street. A social media video showed Kelly taking out his weapon after two women are seen in an altercation and then firing gunshots. Milwaukee police swat immediately responded to the scene and arrested Kelly and McGee.

Kelly was charged with one felony count for 2nd-degree recklessly endangering safety and use of a dangerous weapon. He was also charged with one misdemeanor count for resisting and obstructing an.

If convicted, Kelly is facing up to 10 years in prison and up to $25,000 in fines, or both for recklessly endangering safety. He is also facing up to 9 months in prison and up to $10,000 in fines, or both for resisting and obstructing.

A cash bond of $1,500 was set for Kelly.

McGee was charged with one felony count for possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and one misdemeanor count for resisting and obstructing an officer.

If convicted, McGee is facing up to 10 years in prison and up to $25,000 in fines, or both for possession of a firearm. He is also facing up to 9 months in prison and up to $10,000 in fines, or both for resisting and obstructing.

McGee's cash bond was set at $5,000.

Lastly, Mark A. Courtney Jr., 26, was charged with one felony count for 1st-degree recklessly endangering safety including use of a dangerous weapon and 1st-degree reckless injury including use of a dangerous weapon for the Cinco de Mayo 2024 (May 5th) shooting of a 29-year-old Milwaukee police officer and nearly striking a second officer at S. César E. Chávez Drive and W. Scott Street. 

If convicted, Courtney is facing up to 12 and 6 months in prison and up to $25,000 in fines, or both for endangering safety, and up to 25 years in prison and up to $25,000 in fines, or both for reckless injury. Each felony count carries an enhancer, which adds another 5 years in prison for using a dangerous weapon.

Let's make it clear, everyone is welcomed to join our Mexican descent historic celebrations like Cinco de Mayo and the Mexican Independence Day on September 16, including the Puerto Rican and Caribbean traditional festive events in our community, but engaging in disrespectful behavior and unlawful acts during our traditional celebrations is not welcome and should not be tolerated in our communities. 

Also, producing any type of music video depicting that our traditional Mexican and Puerto Rican festive celebrations are falsely portrayed indulging in illegal public intoxication, reckless driving, burning rubber, fighting, shootings and etc. is the norm, in contrary, these are definitely distasteful acts of disrespect towards our vibrant Latino cultures and should not be tolerated in our communities of color.

16 Days After The Cinco de Mayo 2024 Melee Impromptu Chaotic Celebrations In The Southside Of Milwaukee, Not One Latino Elected Official Has Publicly Condemned The Lawlessness That Occurred

Editorial:

So far, none of the elected Latino including non-Latino public officials from the Southside including the City of Milwaukee mayor and the Milwaukee Common Council have actually come out in a joint statement and front to publicly condemned the chaotic melee that occurred on Sunday, May 5th, the Cinco de Mayo 2024 impromptu celebrations along S. César E. Chávez Drive.

Hispanic News Network U.S.A.

May 20, 2024

Milwaukee, Wisconsin - On Cinco de Mayo 2024 (May 5th), Milwaukee police reported that two suspects, Marcus Deon Kelly, 33, and Timothy J. McGee, 24, had been criminally charged in connection with shots fired at S. César E. Chávez Drive and W. Historic Mitchell Street at around 8:17 p.m. during a chaotic scene involving several unidentified women at an impromptu gathering that included scooters burning rubber at the intersection.

At around 11:00 p.m., one Milwaukee police officer suffered a gunshot wound to his upper right leg and was treated, a second officer reported that a bullet almost struck his face at S. Chávez Drive and W. Scott Street. The alleged shooter, Mark A. Courtney Jr., 26, was taken into custody and criminally charged in connection with the shooting. (Article link: https://shorturl.at/hwQSY)

Earlier in the afternoon on Sunday, a group of individuals gathered on S. Chávez Drive in front of McDonald's who in a YouTube video by Ocean Legacy Cinematic showed public intoxication and an individual showing a concealed weapon while police were nearby.

Also in the afternoon, a Paletería Yayo employee, Ricardo Mondragon-Martinez, 39, a popsicle street cart vendor was aggressively attacked (harassed) by Aaron Thompson III, 26, according to a social media video showing Thompson taking Mondragon-Martinez's popsicle street cart without permission and tipped it to the pavement while running away and laughing about it. In a longer version of the video, an unidentified Latino stepped in to help Mondragon-Martinez, but was confronted by several Black individuals, according to the video. 

After a $500 reward was offered by a Southside couple to identity the attacker, Thompson was immediately identified. He later came out with a public apology facilitated by the Wisconsin Brown Berets. Thompson apologized to Mondragon-Martinez at the Paletería Yayo location at the 1700 block of W. Lincoln Ave. in Milwaukee and gave Mondragon-Martinez $60.

So far, Thompson III hasn't been criminally charged and the Paletería Yayo owner Rene Adan hasn't filed a complaint against Thompson to hold him accountable for taking the popsicle street cart and harassing Mondragon-Martinez. Adan did confirm that at least one employee (paletero) gets robbed, beaten or aggressively assaulted once a week in the Southside.

Facebook Milwaukee Southside users have pushed for Thompson to be criminally charged to no avail.

Apparently, a short clip video that was posted about the incident of the Yayo paletero and Thompson went viral. A longer version of the video was posted on YouTube by Ocean Legacy Cinematic showing the chaotic and lawlessness behavior at S. Chávez Drive and the incident at Mitchell Park while Milwaukee police and Milwaukee County Sheriff's deputies were nearby. (Check out and advance to minute 15:06, paletero incident at Milwaukee County Mitchell Park on Cinco de Mayo 2024...

https://youtu.be/s0uNv4WNk-8)

Neither the Milwaukee Police Department and the Milwaukee County Sheriff's Office have released any stats about how many citations were issued for public intoxication, arrests for possession of Illegal weapons, reckless driving and vehicles blocking traffic flow and etc.. 

Milwaukee County Supervisor Juan Miguel Martinez along with Vaun L. Mayes, a Black community activist and Walter Garron from the Wisconsin Brown Berets held a press conference about the paletero and Thompson's incident and Supervisor Martinez told media that what happened to Mondragon-Martinez, the paletero "was unacceptable", and that he is working on County legislation to protect street cart vendors at Milwaukee County parks, but came short from condemning the chaotic acts by certain individuals at Mitchell Park on Cinco de Mayo. 

Several individuals were taken into custody by Milwaukee County Sheriff deputies for carrying a loaded conceal AK-47 pistol at Mitchell Park, according to a video posted in social media. 

It's unfortunate, Latino elected officials that include Alderman Jóse G. Pérez, President of the Milwaukee Common Council, and Alderwoman JoCasta Zamarripa, which both represent the Southside Aldermanic districts, Milwaukee Mayor Cavalier Johnson,  Wisconsin State Assembly Representatives Sylvia Ortiz-Velez (D-Milw.) and Marisabel Cabrera (D-Milw), and Milwaukee County Supervisor Caroline Gomez-Tom and Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley and lastly Wisconsin State Senator Tim Carpenter (D-Milw) and U.S. Congresswoman Gwendolyn Moore (D-Milw) have yet to come out publicly and condemn the chaotic impromptu gatherings by individuals that threatened to disrupt our community's tranquility and the safety of our community during the Cinco de Mayo celebrations, and their failure to push police to hold all the individuals involved in the chaotic melee during the Cinco de Mayo 2024 accountable.

Where's the Southside community's outrage including the businesses affected by the annual chaotic impromptu melee?

Let's make one thing clear, everyone is welcomed to the Southside Cinco de Mayo and Mexican Independence Day annual celebrations as long as everyone celebrates responsibility and in a safe manner, but we as a community shouldn't tolerate such chaotic behavior, public intoxication, shootings and reckless driving that threatens the safety of those celebrating responsibly during festive holidays and we should continue to push for public elected officials and police to hold those engaged in lawlessness and chaotic behavior accountable.
