Foreword: I met Elijah D. Manley, candidate for District 94, Florida House of Representatives, at around the time of the Stoneman Douglas High School mass shooting in Parkland, Florida. That catastrophe left 14 students and three faculty members dead, and 17 others wounded. Elijah knew the "Parkland" shooter, having observed him up close and personal in a Broward County public school classroom when both were classmates. At age 13, Elijah saw signs of trouble brewing, when oth

Judge Janet DiFiore The body of the suspect, a self-declared anti-feminist attorney, was found dead of an apparent self-inflicted gu

Attack on Judge Esther Salas, possible planned assault on Judge Janet DiFiore was workplace violence
By now, most have heard about Sunday's outrageous attack at the home of United States District Court Judge Esther Salas, a glass ceiling breaker and the first Hispanic woman to serve on the federal bench in New Jersey, which left the respected jurist's 20-year-old son dead and her husband wounded. Reports have now surfaced the suspect, a 72-year-old "mens rights" anti-feminist lawyer Roy Den Hollander, who was later found dead in a car in New York state of a self-inflicted gu

On July 19, 2020, a man dressed in a Federal Express delivery uniform knocked on the door of federal court judge Judge Esther Salas' home in New Brunswick, New Jersey.

Violence Prevention Advocate Randy Brown talks to the WVPI
Foreword: Randy Brown, school and workplace violence prevention advocate, consented to an exclusive interview following the June 2020 publication of his much-anticipated book: The Inside Story of Columbine: Lies. Cover-ups. Ballistics. Lessons. This book recalls Randy and his family's personal and inside experiences concerning one of the worst and in my opinion most preventable massacres in America's history. Yes, "Columbine," which has influenced many subsequent episodes of

Mall active shooter episode leaves 1 dead, 3 wounded
Even during a global pandemic, workplace violence continues to rear its ugly head. Multiple gunshots broke out near a food court at Alabama's Riverchase Galleria mall Friday afternoon on July 3rd. Tragically, 8-year-old Royta Giles Jr. was stuck by one of the bullets and died. Three other people were wounded during the active shooting episode. Annalisa Pope, who works at the Hollister store in the mall, told WBMA-TV she heard six to seven shots that "sounded like they were co

Workplace violence in the digital COVID-19 workplace
Over the course of the past few months, many employees have been working "remotely" or have been working a combination of off site and then off site. Given the numerous stressors that many American workers have been subjected to in both their personal and professional lives of late, some may either lash out at co-workers or be victims of abuse from colleagues.
