Man Sentenced to Prison for more than 12 Years for Carjackings

By Anonymous -

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – U.S. District Judge Robert J. Conrad, Jr. sentenced a Charlotte man today on charges stemming from two 2012 carjackings committed in Charlotte, announced Anne M. Tompkins, U.S. Attorney for the Western District of North Carolina. Antonio Cordiara McClary, 25, of Charlotte, was sentenced to 148 months in prison, followed by three years of supervised release.

Wayne L. Dixie, Special Agent in Charge of the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), Charlotte Field Division, and Chief Rodney D. Monroe of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department (CMPD) join U.S. Attorney Tompkins in making today’s announcement.
According to court documents and today’s sentencing hearing:
McClary carjacked a woman on January 5, 2012, and forced her to drive to her bank and

withdraw $500 from an ATM. During the carjacking, McClary pointed what appeared to be a
firearm at the victim’s head. Following the forced withdrawal of money from the ATM,
McClary forced the victim into the trunk of her 2010 Honda Accord while he drove around for
thirty minutes. McClary later abandoned the car with the victim locked in the trunk and told her
not to get out. An hour later, the victim was able to escape the trunk and call police.

On January 20, 2012, McClary confronted a second woman who was getting out of her
car in her apartment parking lot and forced her back into her car with what appeared to be a
firearm and a knife. McClary took the victim’s car keys and drove the woman to the bank ATM,
forcing her to withdraw $500. Later, while driving from the ATM, McClary threatened to
“splatter the victim’s brains all over the windshield.” Following the carjacking, McClary
abandoned the victim in her car and told her not to report the carjacking to the police because he
knew where she lived and said he would come back and kill her. In both incidents, what
appeared to be a firearm was later determined to have been an air rifle that fired pellets. In April
2013, McClary pleaded guilty to two counts of carjacking.

In announcing the sentence, Judge Conrad stated that the offenses were a “heinous couple of carjackings that caused unfathomable terror to the victims.” Judge Conrad noted that he imposed the 148 month sentence to protect the public from further crimes of the defendant.

The defendant has been in federal custody and will be transferred to the custody of the Federal Bureau of Prisons upon designation of a federal facility. Federal sentences are served without the possibility of parole.

The investigation was handled by ATF and CMPD. The prosecution for the government was handled by Assistant U.S. Attorney Robert Gleason of the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Charlotte.

FOX NEWS HOST REFUSES TO BOARD PLANE WITH BLACK FEMALE PILOT

By Anonymous -
conservative commentator and author Ann Coulter has lost her mind! She refused to stay on board a Miami to New York flight after learning the pilot was a Black woman. According to witnesses, Coulter was concerned the experienced, decorated pilot may have gained her position as a result of affirmative action and wasn’t fully qualified to fly. The incident began when Coulter boarded the American Airlines flight and took up her first class seat. After a trip to the bathroom, she noticed the pilot was a black woman and became immediately distraught. According to passengers, at that point Coulter stood at the front of the cabin and began screaming her concerns to the entire flight as they finished boarding. “Aw come on people, a black woman flying a plane? You know she got that job through affirmative action. Am I the only one worried about this? I mean hello? Our lives are at stake here…” The confused passengers weren’t sure what to make of Coulter’s outburst, and rema...

After pouring thousands of dollars into her decrepit house, Tocco Collins made the heartbreaking discovery that she had been seriously scammed. The mother of 12 had waited patiently for her landlords to deliver on their promises to fix the house’s holes, broken windows and burned out light box, CBS Atlanta reports. But after seven months, Collins learned that the phonies she had been paying $600 a month in rent didn’t own the home and had also skipped town. The actual owner had no idea her home was being rented out. “Step by step, I’m trying to make some effort,” Collins told the news outlet. “Right now I’m lost.” The Atlanta mother and her children are now homeless. They’re also at risk of getting broken up by child services, a devastating fate that do-gooders are trying to prevent.
