WHEN WAS THE MIAMI-DADE POLICE DEPARTMENT (MDPD) ASSIGNED TO INVESTIGATE THE DARREN RAINEY MURDER (6/23/12) AND WHEN DID THEY START INVESTIGATING SAID MURDER (JUNE 2014)

On 6/23/12 when Darren Rainey was murdered the MDPD was assigned to investigate said murder.  On that same day the MDPD assigned case number : 1206 23238979MDPD as the MDPD case number for the Rainey murder.

MDPD and Miami-Dade County Florida State Attorney records will show that from 6/23/12 till June 2014, the MDPD didn’t conduct any investigations into the Rainey murder.

All law enforcement officials are taught to not postpone investigating a case.  Why?  Because as time passes evidence is destroyed or lost, witnesses die and their memories get worse.  All law enforcement officials know that as time passes the chances of proven the crime decrease.  The MDPD detectives assigned to the Rainey case knew the foregoing and they still refused to investigate the Rainey case.  Why do you think the MDPD refused to investigate the Rainey case for approximately two years, knowing that as time progress the chance of proving the case decrease?  I cannot think of any valid legal or moral reason for the MDPD doing the foregoing.  The only logical reason I can think of as to why the MDPD would do the foregoing was that the MDPD detectives assigned to the Rainey case believed they had more important cases to investigate.  The Rainey murder wasn’t important to the MDPD detectives assigned to the case.  Why wasn’t it important to them?  I believe it was because of who Darren Rainey was.  Rainey was a poor, black, mentally disabled Muslim prisoner, in prison for possession of a small amount of drugs.  To the MDPD nobody cared about Rainey’s murder apart from some convicted burglar serving 165 years in prison.  Since nobody in society cared about Rainey’s murder, why would they care about it!  To the MDPD detectives assigned to the Rainey case, Rainey was a nobody.  If you order the MDPD rules for investigations and the MDPD Homicide Department Standard Operating Procedures For Investigations, you’ll see the MDPD detectives assigned to the Rainey case violated their own rules in not starting an investigation into the Rainey case until almost two years after Rainey’s murder.

Now I’d like to address what actually caused the MDPD to actually start investigating the Rainey murder.  If you go to the Miami Herald newspaper internet site and read the first Miami Herald article published on the Rainey murder on 5/18/14, and read all their articles that mention Rainey’s name until about the second week of June 2014, you’ll see it was the media that caused the MDPD to do their job and start investigating the Rainey murder.  Yes the only thing that caused the MDPD to do their job and investigate the Rainey murder was the Miami Herald publishing several articles on how the MDPD was refusing to investigate the brutal murder of Rainey that happened almost two years earlier.

MDPD and Dade County Florida State Attorney records will prove that absolutely nothing was done to investigate the Rainey murder from June 2012 till June 2014.  Please investigate what I’m saying.  Also, please read the May and June 2014 Miami Herald articles and you’ll see how they mention the MDPD not investigating the Rainey case.  I believe this should show the people of Dade County, Florida and the World that certain types of people’s lives don’t matter to the MDPD.  If you’re poor your life don’t matter to the MDPD.  If you’re black your life don’t matter to the MDPD.  If you’re mentally disabled your life don’t matter to the MDPD.  If you’re Muslim your life don’t matter to the MDPD.  If you’re a prisoner your life don’t matter to the MDPD.  If you’re anything else your life might not matter to the MDPD.

My friends, I’ve told people over these years that by taking a stand asking for justice for the murder of Rainey, I’m not just taking a stand for Rainey, I’m taking a stand for the value of life for all people.  By saying Rainey’s life mattered we’re saying all lives matter.  In other words, a quest for one is a quest for all.  Please join us in our quest to show that Darren Rainey’s life mattered and that all lives matter.

Please share this blog with your friends and anybody you believe would like to join us in our efforts.  Please sign our petition at Change.org entitled THE LIFE OF BLACK, MENTALLY DISABLED MUSLIM PRISONER DARREN RAINEY DOES MATTER.

Origin Of Shower Treatment Dade C I Auschwitz Florida USA

HOW DID THE DADE C.I. TCU SHOWER DARREN RAINEY WAS KILLED IN START BEING USED AS A TORTURING DEVICE TO PUNISH MENTALLY DISABLED INMATES?

Note - the following article, by Harold Hempstead, refers to Dade prison in Florida USA in Tweny Twelve - NOT the infamous nazi death-camp of the Nineteen Forties.  The fact that new arrivals to the Transitional 'Care' Unit of this Florida prison, where inmates were starved, tortured, and killed, were greeted by guards with the words 'welcome to Auschwitz' is purely coincidental.  
Jeremy Schanche, Editor.

Darren Rainey is led to his Death, FDC.

''Inmate Daniel Geiger was a severely mentally disabled inmate whose mental condition caused him to almost constantly make noise 24 hours a day.  A lot of inmates in the TCU didn’t like to be housed in cells near him because as loud as he was, it made it very hard for people in cells close to him to sleep.  The foregoing is what caused Dade C.I. TCU day-shift security staff to place Geiger in cells next to inmates they didn’t like and they were trying to get to sign out of the TCU.  Sleep deprivation caused most of the inmates in cells next to Geiger to ask to sign out of the TCU.

In the beginning of 2012, inmates MD and SL were housed in Wing J3.  Day shift security staff didn’t like them because they were very verbal and filed grievances on things they didn’t like.  Geiger was moved from Wing J1 to Wing J3 first as a tool to try to get MD to sign out of the TCU and then he was used to try and get SL to sign out.

When Geiger was placed in Wing J3, it immediately upset, to some degree or another, all the inmates housed in Wing J3.  It was a small wing and Geiger’s loudness could be heard easily through the whole wing.

In 2012 the officer who killed Darren Rainey was assigned as the wing officer for Wing J3.  Rainey’s killer use to talk to inmate KS who was housed in Wing J3 a lot.  KS wasn’t mentally disabled.  He manipulated his way into the TCU running from a disciplinary report he got at Columbia C.I.  Every shift that Rainey’s killer worked, he spent an hour or more discussing sports and rap music related issues with KS in front of KS’s cell.  The officer who killed Rainey worked on night shift.

When Geiger got placed in Wing J3, KS started telling the officer that killed Rainey, “if you take Geiger, place him in that shower upstairs and turn it on full hot, I’ll bet you he’ll stop yelling and making all that noise.”  After a few days of KS telling Rainey’s killer the foregoing, the officer tried it and it worked.  Within several minutes of Geiger being put in the shower he stopped yelling.

When the officer who killed Rainey seen that the shower treatment got Geiger to comply and listen to him, he realized he had a tool to get the most mentally disabled inmates in the TCU to comply with his orders.

Over the next several months that officer continued to use that shower as a torturing device to punish mentally disabled inmates that refused to comply with his orders.  Several inmates were placed in that shower. 

The fifth inmate that I witnessed be placed in that shower was Darren Rainey, who was killed in it.

The state and federal government have known the foregoing for years now.

Several months ago Daniel Geiger somehow died in the Transitional Care Unit (TCU) at Lake C.I. in the Florida Department of Corrections (FDC.)

Do mentally disabled peoples’ lives matter?  According to our history they don’t.  A lot of people in this World don’t care about them.  When are we going to start treating the mentally disabled like humans?  Do you think it’s right to abuse the mentally disabled?  Do you think the mentally disabled should be treated like humans?

Please share this blog with your friends and anybody you think can help us with getting justice for the mentally disabled who were abused, tortured and killed in the Dade C.I. TCU and for the murder of Darren Rainey.  Please sign our petition on Change.org entitled THE LIFE OF BLACK,MENTALLY DISABLED MUSLIM PRISONER DARREN RAINEY DOES MATTER

A FIGHT FOR THE VALUE OF LIFE

A FIGHT FOR THE VALUE OF LIFE

For years I have known that the quest my sister (Windy Hempstead) and I have set out on to obtain justice for the murder of poor, black, mentally disabled, Muslim, prisoner Darren Rainey was going to be a hard one.  Why?  Because I’ve learned throughout my life that most people in this World don’t believe the lives of certain people have the same value/worth as others.  Most people discriminate or are racist against certain races and groups and the people they discriminate against or are racist against, they place below themselves and put a lesser value on their lives.  Out of the 6 classes of people I can think of that are most disliked in America (especially the South) Darren Rainey fit into 5 of the 6 groups.  Poor people, African American people, mentally disabled people, Muslim people and prisoners are 5 of the 6 most disliked peoples in America.  Rainey was a poor, black, mentally disabled, Muslim, prisoner and that is why my sister (Windy) and I knew this would be a hard fight.  I think what people are failing to see is that the fight for justice for Rainey is not just a fight for Rainey, it’s a fight for the value of life;  it’s a fight to show that all life has value;  it’s a fight for all poor people, all black people, all mentally disabled people, all Muslim people and all prisoners.  Will you please join Windy, Jeremy and me in this fight for the value of life?  Just like your life has value, Rainey’s life has value, and all life has value.  I’m asking that you please send emails to Alicia Garza, Rev. Al Sharpton of The National Action Network, Rev. Jesse Jackson of The Rainbow Push Coalition and any member of the Black Lives Matter movement you know and ask them for help in obtaining justice for the murder of Darren Rainey.

THE LIFE OF BLACK, MENTALLY DISABLED MUSLIM PRISONER DARREN RAINEY DOES MATTER

Caged Crusader

-------------------

Here's something practical anyone can do:  Print out some of these flyers and start passing them around.  Tell people about what happened to Darren Rainey and help Harold Hempstead with his long struggles to shine the light of public knowledge onto some very dark events in the Florida prison system.   These flyers are for the petition drafted by the 'Caged Crusader' calling for the murder of Darren Rainey to be investigated at the highest level:

Free Speech Poster 

Jeremy Schanche interviewed by Cat Watters, People's Internet Radio, NYC, on the film of Harold Hempstead's evidence affidavit on the events of 23rd June, 2012 at Dade Correctional Institution, Transitional Care Unit where Mr Rainey died. 

Here's the film I made

The affidavit quoted in the film can be read in full here.

Last year I interviewed Harold Hempstead and I was very interested by what he said about his beliefs on the value of human life.  Harold is a Christian and although I am looking at the World through a different philosophy, I am in agreement with him on many things.  I'm inspired by his respect for all human life, as I think it's the best way for humans to view each other.  Darren Rainey was of the Muslim faith, but this in no way stopped Harold from dedicating himself to helping Rainey.  

Harold Hempstead 'Caged Crusader' talks to Jeremy Schanche

On 17th March 2017, Miami-Dade State Attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle released the official report on Darren Rainey's death - in my opinion it's a pack of lies.  When you compare it to The Huffington Posts' article discussing the forensic evidence, you'd think they were describing two different events.

This is a fight for the value of all human life - please join us.  Many people have already given years of work to this struggle,   Inmate-witnesses risking brutal retaliation for speaking out, journalists who've looked into this case and uncovered a pattern of corruption and suspicious custody-deaths, civil-rights lawyers and human rights groups challenging the legality of the state's actions, religious groups witnessing the truth and spreading the word and the independent activists working on the case in different capacities, some of whom I know give so much of themselves to this kind of work.  

Though the above groups are approaching the case of Darren Rainey's death from differing perspectives, I believe there is a common unity of purpose, a shared motivation of outrage at an act of extreme barbarity that simply cannot be tolerated or excused away.  I see the death of Darren Rainey as a historic turning-point.  In a World that is sadly so accustomed to cruelty and murder, the nature of  Mr Rainey's death was so inhuman that it seemed to signify and symbolize all the killings we've been hearing about in these times.  If Darren Rainey's death becomes the focus of a continuing and growing movement for justice, then his brutal killing will take on far more significance than it already has.  

There's many ways people can contribute to this cause.  Follow the Caged Crusader's blog, to study the evidence and keep informed of new statements and reports.  Print out and display the above posters in public, or, even better, make your own.  In the electronic age, where people are conditioned to get their information through a screen, a poster on a wall has more impact than ever.  In dry countries, posters can be glued to walls with PVA glue using a house-painting brush.  If you live in Britain, lamination is advisable.  

If you are a US citizen you can raise this issue with your representatives.  Non-US citizens are of course free to email the black Civil Rights leaders mentioned above, asking them to add their support to the movement for justice for Darren Rainey.  

Raising awareness of this issue with human rights and religious groups in your own country would also be very helpful.  This will gradually increase the pressure on US authorities to treat this crime seriously.  There is already a federal investigation looking into the death of Darren Rainey, but with an extreme reactionary racist like Sessions for Attorney General, US justice is going to need all the help it can get from the public.  I think we can all see clearly which direction the new regime is pushing the USA towards.  You certainly hear people talking about it enough - well why not do something about it?  Get involved with the movement for justice, get involved with the resistance and show those in power that they will not crush our humanity.  Do it for Darren Rainey.
