Carroll County Detention Center correctional officer allegedly assaulted

By Kevin Dayhoff  November 22, 2010  http://kevindayhoff.blogspot.com/2010/11/kevin-dayhoff-carroll-county-md.html

The Carroll County Detention Center reports that yesterday a correctional officer was alleged to have been assaulted by an inmate at the Court Street facility in Westminster.

The preliminary investigation indicates that at 10:52 a.m., inmate Dennis Barry Jennings Jr. allegedly assaulted Correctional Officer Sean Michael Davis in a direct supervision-housing unit of the local lock-up.

According to a police report by Major Steve Reynolds, the assistant warden; Jennings, who is confined at the detention center while waiting for trial for burglary and theft charges “grabbed a chair… attempted to strike the officer and then began assaulting the officer with his fists… without provocation.”

Davis called for back up and additional officers arrived.  After initially being treated at the facility, Davis was taken to Carroll Hospital Center where it is reported that he is listed in stable condition as a result of “severe facial injuries.”

Meanwhile, Jennings faces “a multitude of criminal and institutional charges as a result of this assault,” according to Reynolds. 

The investigation into the incident is continuing and is being handled by the Investigative Services Bureau of the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office.

Some brief thoughts on Joe Scarborough suspended over political donations

Some brief thoughts on Joe Scarborough suspended over political donations

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/40277217/ns/politics-decision_2010/

Msnbc TV host contributed to eight candidates in violation of NBC ethics policy

msnbc.com  11/19/2010

Kevin Earl Dayhoff  Take a memo: I don’t really give a flying fudge cookie about the blue and red - left and right thing. That’s just an artificial wedge device for lazy minds. What I care about is free speech and the war on journalists – especially for saying things some folks do not like.

From: November 8, 2010 http://kevindayhoff.blogspot.com/2010/11/nbc-suspends-olbermann-for-political.html

“Contractual considerations aside, I’m on the other side here. I do not believe that Don Imus, Helen Thomas, Dave Weigel, Rick Sanchez, Juan Williams, or Keith Olbermann should have lost their jobs.

“I believe in free speech.

“I do not, for the record, agree with, or like, hardly anything the above group of journalists said or did to cause them problems with their jobs. I do not care nor am I surprised that Olbermann contributed to Democrats….

“My contract says I am not allowed to contribute to any candidates and I like my job and I honor that clause.

“However, I have grown exhausted with the war on journalists and I’m especially tired of the war on the commentary segments of Fox, CNN, MSNBC, et al. If you don’t like – don’t watch it.”

At my advanced age, I can recognize political(ly correct) silliness when I see it.

I’m just saying.

NEW YORK — Msnbc TV host Joe Scarborough was suspended without pay for two days Friday for making eight campaign donations to Florida political candidates, in violation of NBC News ethics policy.

[…]

The suspension was first reported Friday by Politico.com.

[…]

When Olbermann, host of "Countdown with Keith Olbermann," was suspended Nov. 5…

[…]

Griffin said in a statement that Scarborough informed him Friday that he had in fact made eight contributions

[…]

In his own statement Friday, Scarborough he had "recently" been made aware of the contributions and told Griffin about them himself.

[…]

Scarborough's reaction was in sharp contrast to that of Olbermann, whose suspension ignited a firestorm of protest from supporters who created an online petition that attracted more than 250,000 signatures. Olbermann apologized to his supporters but not to NBC News and broadcast a commentary objecting to having been punished "without a hearing."
