We think a felon who admitted to attemping to strangle a woman should not have any business at all in Ohio, but oh well.

Cleveland City Council: 216-664-2840

Ask for your ward's council member, and for Council President Blaine A. Griffin.

THE ASK:

Pass Councilman Austin Davis's resolution objecting to TownHall's liquor permit renewal, and request the hearing be held in Cuyahoga County, not Reynoldsburg.

Only a city council can object under Ohio law. Individual citizens can't. That's why you call them, and not the State of Ohio.

Crime Friendship Baptist church fire Arsonist identified

Source : https://fox8.com/news/i-team-warrant-reveals-story-behind-massive-church-fire/

One of 3 assailants in the Friendship Baptist Church Fire has been identified as 19 year-old John Patrick McManomon. Around Midnight on August 21st, McManomon and two other assailants entered the Friendship Baptist Church to participate in the “Urban Mining” social media trend.

A warrant said a photo taken inside show that the fire had multiple points of origin. The 3 assailants then left the premises 28 minutes after entering the building. After an hour of burning, the first call was made , the fire grew to a “triple two” alarm requiring 65 to fight the blaze.

The roof collapsed causing an estimated $750,000
worth of property damage. McManomon’s bail has been set to $10,000 ,and his case has been sent to the Cuyahoga county Common pleas court and bound over with a grand jury.

On a personal note, I went to high school with John McManomon( affectionately called “JP” ). We graduated on May 31st of this year at Lakewood High School. It’s unfortunate it see that someone I’ve known since Elementary school has fallen into a crime like this. Hopefully, he learns from his mistakes and get the punishment he deserves.

P.S.
despite what social media has said John was neither paid to commit the crime or was he MAGA.

The Punisher is a violent vigilante who operates outside the law, often killing criminals without due process. His symbol fundamentally conflicts with the ethical and legal duties of police officers to uphold the law impartially. Even Marvel itself has condemned the use of the logo by police and military groups. In 2020, Marvel explicitly stated that the Punisher’s methods are antithetical to the ideals of real-world law enforcement.

Crime BREAKING STORY - Adam Radogna, Parma, Oh MAGA Activist - ARRESTED TODAY!

BREAKING STORY - MAX MILLER BUDDY ARRESTED TODAY!

Adam Radogna, the Parma restaurant owner shown posting with Rep. Max Miller (Congressman Max Miller) in front of a Vivek sign, was booked into jail this morning on 9 child exploitation counts, plus possessing criminal tools, according to Cuyahoga County court records.

Radogna isn't some random guy in a photo line. The AP profiled him just last month hosting the Parma Republicans' election watch party at his restaurant, and he told them he's been to more than 80 Trump rallies.

These are charges, not a conviction, and he's entitled to his day in court. But the "protect the children" crowd sure keeps finding these guys in their own front row. And Max Miller is the last guy who should be lecturing anyone about character: his ex-wife told detectives he held a gun to her head.

Trump isn't on the ballot in November, but Trumpism sure is. Early voting in Ohio is open now through November 1st. Vote early and in person if you can, and bring a friend or family member. The sooner the better, because anything can happen: illness, car trouble, a family emergency, or this administration pulling a fast one on DEMOCRACY. Bonus: campaigns can see who has already voted (not how). Once you vote, they take you off their call, text and door-knock lists, and your candidates can put that money and those volunteers toward people who haven't voted yet. Fewer texts for you, more help where it counts.

Crime PSA: Group of Men Harassing Young Girls at Edgewater Beach

1.0k Upvotes

Hey everyone, I want to share a serious warning about a group of men I’ve seen multiple times now at Edgewater Beach.

There are 3–4 white men, likely in their late 30s to 40s, who regularly hang out on the beach with a blue tent and a football. Every time I’ve seen them, they’ve been watching and approaching young girls—many of whom appear to be teenagers. They ask them to smoke weed, try to flirt, ask for phone numbers, or even ask them out, and they often surround the girls in a way that’s clearly intimidating and uncomfortable.

Some identifying details: -One of them is bald -One is overweight with an untrimmed beard and often smokes a bowl on the beach -They always have a football, which they sometimes toss around to seem casual or to draw attention -Their base is usually set up around a blue tent

This behavior is predatory and extremely concerning. If you’re at Edgewater with younger people, please stay alert. If you see these men acting inappropriately, don’t hesitate to report it to a park ranger or the Cleveland Police non-emergency line. Has anyone else seen them too?

Crime I have to get something off my chest about Marble Room

671 Upvotes

Ok so it’s been a while since I left Marble Room and the city of Cleveland for another town. I worked there for 2-4 years (trying not to be specific so I don’t get identified). It was the only restaurant I ever was at that I had to suppress all my morals just to show up every day after getting to know some things about the management staff and owners. I thought the general public might be interested in a few things:

Most of the older male servers that have been there awhile sexually assault the younger staff and management does not care, they stand by them. There is one individual that sexually assaulted so many server assistants and hosts that they held a staff meeting to figure out why the assistants had such a terrible attitude with servers. When a female server assistant brought him up as the reason, she was promptly fired.

The owner has some family ties to the old Cleveland mafia and is a real estate mogul. He is currently under investigation by the FBI for “creative” accounting and negligence. The worst of this is a building he owned in Arkansas that exploded due to lack of maintenance on the water heater (I think?) that killed four people.

The head chef was caught by Cleveland police with CSAM on a separate phone he kept just for such purposes after a tip was called into crime stoppers. He was charged with 20 counts of pandering to a minor and one count of possession of criminal tools (the cell phone he kept pictures on). His lawyer argued his case down to a plea of one count of pandering with 30 days served one-two weeks at a time over the course of 2 years. This is all verifiable public record, I will not name him here but you can find his charges online still. The staff was informed by management that he was taking a “much needed vacation” on those weeks. He is still the head chef and works with minors on staff in his kitchen. He sexually assaults staff regularly and several long time employees had quit while I worked there. He has been the head chef since opening except for a brief period when he was fired for sexually assaulting a young woman on staff. He was rehired less than a year later.

Listen, spend your money however you want. I’m not judging you for not giving a shit about who cooks your food. I certainly don’t care 99% of the time. But I don’t like people who employ known predators and enable them. I wouldn’t have taken the job if I had known what I found out over the last year.

I’m posting on a burner I made awhile back but never used. I will not be responding to any comments or DMs.

Crime Does anyone know these individuals?

Post image
757 Upvotes

I am very close with the victim of this accident. These 3 were in a car (the blue one) and were speeding north down West25th (Pearl), and ran the red light at the intersection of Denison, causing the victim who was the passenger of the car to be hit.

They fled the scene moments after the crash, along with the driver of the other car, leaving Justin (the victim) to be critically injured. Justin still has not gained consciousness, and is still lying in a facility incapacitated with no sure sign he will survive or even have quality life if he wakes up.

Police have not found these individuals yet, so I am asking my Cleveland Redditor friends if you know them or have any information please come forward and talk to police. We need justice.

This is on the corner of 140th and Lorain Street by Kamms Corner. We woke up to our car broken into. We asked our neighbor, who had camera footage of the parking lot, and we saw two, assuming nine-year-olds, breaking in. They tried to steal it. The bottom plastic of the steering wheel is broken, and all the wires are exposed. The windshield knob is very loose. If anyone knows these kids or the parents of these kids. Please let us know so we can at least tell your parents what they’re up to.
