"A senior member of the Department of Defense communications staff has been arrested and charged with participating in a dogfighting ring in the D.C. area for more than 20 years..."

"... federal authorities disclosed Monday. The ring regularly trained dogs for fights, ran thousands of dollars in bets on the outcomes, and executed dogs that didn’t die during matches, court records state. Frederick Douglass Moorefield Jr., 62, of Arnold, Md., was a deputy chief information officer for command, control and communications for the Secretary of Defense’s Chief Information Officer...."

Investigators found battery jumper cables, which allegedly were used to execute dogs at Moorefield’s house, along with five pit bull-type dogs.... weighted collars and heavy metal chains used to increase fighting dogs’ strength... and stains “consistent with bloodstains from dogfights.”....

[T]he dogfighting ring, which called itself “the DMV Board”... communicated on the “Telegram” messaging app about training fighting dogs, exchanging videos, arranging fights and wagers, and comparing methods of killing dogs who lost fights, the affidavit states....

That is said to have gone on for more than 20 years. 

MEANWHILE: “The White House is just a crazy environment for a dog. There are enormous men with guns acting suspiciously hostile everywhere.”

Ugh.

Sure, we're civilized. Something I didn't expect from the Internet age is the revelation that the veneer is so very thin. I guess I should have expected it, though.

Is there a Pulp Fiction-type ending available for this one?

Why does the black guy's shitty thing get him in trouble (but only after 20 years) while whitey gets away with all their shit? Has the thumb on the scales moved or was there somebody that really wanted this guy's job?

We'll know when we see his replacement...

The family of one of my high school students is involved in cock fighting. I know she's telling the truth because she described it very accurately.

The rich men north of Richmond are the most despicable people in this country. Disband the entire federal government.

Took the Keystone Kops 20 years to catch this guy, eh? Maybe the FBI shouldn't be focused so much on faked up Russia collusion hoaxes and trying to entrap Proud Boys (when they're not burning kids in Waco).

Remind me again: How many homes of Jeffrey Epstein's child rape clients has the FBI raided so far?

That's right: 0. None. Zilch. Nada.

But they finally got the Pit Bull guy. Took 'em 20 years, but they finally nabbed him.

What about Puerto Rico, a US territory, famous for cockfighting:

Several sources said "cockfighting's days are numbered" back in 2019, per a 2020 nominal ban. But no, it seems.

The "end is coming":

“The White House is just a crazy environment for a dog. There are enormous men with guns acting suspiciously hostile everywhere.”

And yet of the twenty or so dog bite incidents in the 200-year history of the White House all can be attributed to one bad dog owner, Joe Biden. The “crazy environment” somehow never ever resulted in an injured protective agent until Joe. Not one Secret Service agent needed medical attention because of a dog attack until the worst dog owners in the country took up residence there.

You can tell a lot about a person by the way they treat animals and you can tell a lot about the dogs’ treatment by their behavior. That’s why outside of the White House this dog would have been seized and euthanized about a dozen bites ago.

He fits the profile. I bet he came across that piece of shit Michael Vick in that “circuit”. Hanging is too good for the both of ‘em. It’s these assholes who convince you get rid of pit bull assholes your ammunition. All of you suck. God I hate that guys fucking grotesque mug.

I get that cockfighting is distasteful, and I have no desire to be involved with it, but in what way is it worse than eating at KFC? I mean, wouldn't you prefer to be a fighting cock that broiling hen?

Scott M म्हणाले...

As the former head of a prestigious anti-racism research center once said, "The only remedy to past dog fighting is present dog fighting. The only remedy to present dog fighting is future dog fighting.”

Truly wise and inspirational words. Please make checks payable to Patrisse Cullors, c/o Henry Rogers.

I wonder if Moorefield had a security clearance?

Another, larger dog fighting ring was busted in Indiana last month. No indication Mike Pence was involved.
Maybe somebody arrested in the Indiana ring ratted out Moorefield.

Isn't this par for the course for our lawless elites?

Funding the war in Ukraine isn't about stopping Putin from invading Poland. It's about getting money to defense contractors and the corrupt pols in Ukraine who, in turn, kickback to lawless pols on both sides.

I don't know how we survive if the GOP doesn't win in 2024.

The South Carolina (football) Gamecocks are 2-3 and in 2nd-to-last place in the SEC this year. The Toledo (baseball) Mud Hens finished up the year 70-78.

the guy doing this is black. Just like the NFL QB years ago. This seems to be a black subculture. Dog fighting. Probably a holdover from the "Old South".

As for Commander, he commands respect. And he doesn't take commands - he issues them.

@Bob Boyd I wonder if Moorefield had a security clearance?

Everyone in the Department of Defense has a Secret clearance at minimum. Those with executive access (such as this guy) likely have Top Secret clearances. Beyond that, it'd be need to know and a communications guy needs to know a lot of things but also stay a step away to maintain plausible deniability about super-secret programs and actions.

Security clearances are a thing because humans are predators, liars, and dirty tricksters. They tried to keep the foxes out of the henhouse, but D.C. is nothing but rooms full of foxes today. The last batch of hens were likely the 1990s "term limits" Republicans who went to D.C. for 4-8 years and then voluntarily left. Every single "Hunter Biden's laptop is Russian disinformation" federal official was an obvious liar and trickster.

I had a friend who was an army brat growing up in different bases in the 50s and 60s. I remember him telling me that the Sergeant Bilko thing was quite real. A lot of spare time in the Stateside military, which certain types (especially in the "rear with gear" services) put to good use with lucrative hobbies.

Biden has showed disdain for the Secret Service in the past. Remember when as veep he went swimming nude in front of a female SS agent and she complained to her superiors? Yeah, nothing came of it publicly and I wonder if that agent was disciplined for complaining. Joltin’ Joe has made derogatory remarks about the Secret Service as well in the past. Now that he truly is “The Big Guy”, he is enjoying tormenting his protection with his vicious dog. Outside of this family, this dog would have had to be put down per local laws long ago. I am waiting for an SS agent who gets attacked by Commander to pull out his hand gun and shoot the dog in self defense. But then again, Biden will then order the DOJ to prosecute the poor agent to the fullest extent of the law…

I always felt bad for that school. I remember when people would talk about "Carolina" and the question "Which one?" always followed. Dean Smith put a stop to that.

What a terrible story. I love dogs but they aren't perfect. Sometimes they can be very territorial and afraid of other dogs. Responsible owners realize that and take steps to make sure that no dog on dog violence occurs.

Assholes, like this, try and make money from dog on dog violence.

Robert Cook म्हणाले...

When will they arrest more of the military personnel who participated in, authorized, "followed orders," or stood aside with full knowledge as many (mostly innocent and hapless) "terrorists" were rounded up indiscriminately and tortured in our War of Terror? (It's illegal even in the cases of prisoners who had actually fought against the US; we were, after all, violent invaders in their lands.) That has to be a tick more egregious, if clearly part and parcel with, taking part in dog fighting.

It's in the British papers that Biden says the reason Commander keeps biting the Secret Service Agents is because the agents don't smile enough at him.
