Knockout Game May End Up Giving Man Federal Time Out!

Conrad Barrett is being charged with a hate crime after he randomly knockout a Black man and possibly uttered racial slurs at the victim.

Asshat Colin Flaherty has been mentioned alot here on Journal de la Reyna. He along with That Guy Who Helped Obama Win are the two reasons to why our country being so messed up.

After all these well paid White guys were warning those fearful White folk, that this so-called knockout game is coming to a suburban area near you. Every news event had to have a Black on White crime where some random White person was knocked out by the five finger roll of 'us Black Folk".

Asshat Colin Flaherty was telling the conservative agitators that Blacks are randomly knockout innocent White people, the junk food media is now covering it.

Every event in America where this so-called knockout game happened, either the individual was arrested or the story was made up and the junk food media (namely Loserville) picked up on it and ran with it regardless.

This so-called knockout game has led to arrest. This one has gotten the nation's attention and torpedoed the meme of Black on White crime For you see the person who was arrested in this attack was a White man who just randomly knocked out a Black man.

A 27-year-old Texas man was arrested by federal authorities on Thursday for allegedly filming himself punching a 79-year-old African-American man and breaking his jaw. Authorities say the assailant was attempting to see whether a "knockout" attack on a black victim would be nationally televised.

Conrad Alvin Barrett was arrested and accused of punching the unnamed victim last month and filming the assault. Barrett allegedly showed the video to a man outside a restaurant who he didn't realize was an off-duty investigator. In the video, the attacker approaches the elderly African-American man, asks him "How's it going, man?" and proceeds to punch him before laughing, saying "knockout" and fleeing in a vehicle. Barett has been charged with a hate crime.

According to the federal complaint, in another video found on his cell phone, Barrett allegedly says that African-Americans "haven't fully experienced the blessing of evolution" and uses the n-word. The complaint alleges Barrett said he had been trying to get up the "courage" to play the knockout game for a week.

The “knockout game," in which an assailant attempts to knock out a victim with one punch, has received a lot of press recently, though similar attacks have dated back as far as 1992, according to the complaint.

“Hate crimes tear at the fabric of entire communities,” Acting Assistant Attorney General Jocelyn Samuels of the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division said in a statement. “As always, the Civil Rights Division will work with our federal and state law enforcement partners to ensure that hate crimes are identified and prosecuted, and that justice is done.”

Barrett's attorney, George Parnham, did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Huffington Post. However, Parnham told CNN that his client, who is currently in lockup, has bipolar disorder and takes medication.

Barrett will appear in court on Friday. He faces a maximum of 10 years in federal time out and a $250,000 fine if convicted.

Republicans: So What's Your Point About Us Being Bad? We Still Gonna Win!

The U.S. Midterms are coming and the Democrats are very worried that their majority in the the Senate will be in jeopardy.

A CNN/ORC International poll released Thursday found two-thirds of Americans said the current Congress is the worst in their lifetime, while 73 percent agree that this Congress has done nothing to address the country's problems.

The dissatisfaction with Congress crossed party and generational lines, according to CNN's polling director.

"That sentiment exists among all demographic and political subgroups. Men, women, rich, poor, young, old - all think this year's Congress has been the worst they can remember," Polling Director Keating Holland said. "Older Americans - who have lived through more congresses - hold more negative views of the 113th Congress than younger Americans. Republicans, Democrats and independents also agree that this has been the worst session of Congress in their lifetimes."

The poll found that blame was spread across the aisle: 52 percent said they believed Democrats in Congress would move the country in the wrong direction, while 54 said the same of Republicans. An equal percentage, 54 percent, weren't optimistic about President Barack Obama's policies.

The poll surveyed 1,035 adults nationwide by phone from Dec. 16-19. The survey had a margin of error of 3 percentage points.

The dysfunction of Congress is so bad, many American strongly disapprove of the legislative body. But so far, it hasn't budge the needle on the party in the lead in a CNN/ORC generic poll.

The Republicans lead in a five point advantage against the Democrats in the latest CNN/ORC poll.

About 49% of respondents believe the Republicans are more capable of dealing with the problems in Congress. Democrats have 45% in the capability. So that means, the president's agenda is strongly disapproved by Americans.

And yes, even though the Republicans have stalled nominees, shutdown the government, said so many outrageous and yes condescending things, the party has the most energized support.

Although this may spook the Democrats, you shouldn't worry too much right now! How bad will it get before the elections?

President Barack Obama's first year into his second term was bad to say at least. He couldn't get nothing done during this session because of the Stallmigos.

People aren't that fickle on the issues of America. If you're that fickle to the problems we all are facing, then you're likely a Republican or a very stupid ass conservative agitator.

“Why make a caricature of what are complex feelings for some black women?”

“Why make a caricature of what are complex feelings for some black women?”

That's so true.

Megyn The Outrage Princess Inspired A Fool To Shoot A Black Santa!

Black Santa got shot by an asshole. Right wing asshole cheer with glee.

Thanks to Loserville and their stupid War On Christmas, we have a man injured with a pellet gun.

This is Christmas. We here at Journal de la Reyna wish all those reading a great holiday.

And now in Washington, DC, a Black Santa decides to hand toys to needy children, and all of sudden, a not so nice person shoots Santa in the ass.

The Raw Story reports that Black Santa Claus was shot in the back with a pellet gun during a toy giveaway in the city on Christmas Eve and the whole thing was caught on video by a local news crew.

A WJLA photographer was interviewing the Santa Claus as he was waving to children on a Washington, D.C. street. The Santa then began screaming in pain.

Thank Megyn The Outrage Princess for the Black Santa getting hurt!

“Somebody just shot me!” Santa says. “Something in my back. Ahh! Ahh! My back! Oh!”

According to WJLA, the pellet was still lodged in Santa’s shoulder when he was taken to a nearby hospital. A “Grinch” character filled in to finish the toy giveaway.

Thanks to Megyn The Outrage Princess for making some asshole ruin Christmas for all!

I hope her stocking is full of coal and a lot of bricks.

She is such a freaking blockhead!

If it wasn't for Bill-O, That Guy Who Helped Obama Win and Megyn The Outrage Princess no one would be actually hurt in this stupid rabble rousing.

Yeah, there's a war! A war on the rational. Because there's enough stupid people out there making dangerous for the rational.

What A Drag Down In Alabama!

Drag queens come to Alabama to perform at a Christmas festival. It's certainly going to piss of the racist right because these Black divas are prancing around with their high heels and mini skirts. They're showing their junk and the conservative residents aren't hip to the show.

Well somehow the drag queens from Prancing Elites were hired to perform at the Christmas parade and I guess no one knew that they were Black men dressing up in high heel boots and skimpy skirts.

Known as the Prancing Elites, the group was reportedly invited to take part in the Semmes, Ala. Christmas parade, with the individuals that hired the group having an awareness about their genre of performance.

“I said we’re all over 21 and we’re guys," troupe captain Kentrell Collins states in the Fox 10 News report, which can be viewed here. "She was so excited. She was like I didn’t know they had any groups like that in Mobile."

The Prancing Elite were rocketed into fame earlier this year when Shaquille O'Neal tweeted about the group, later appearing and performing on "The Real."

“I was outraged and appalled. I never expect anything like this at the Semmes Christmas parade,” local Alabama mother Claudia Davis told the junk food media “If they were gonna put this kind of activity in the parade, they should have notified the people of Semmes so that we had a choice whether we wanted out children to attend and see something like that.”

Diva attitudes from both the residents and the performers.

The captain of the troupe, Kentrell Collins, said he believed the offer had been made in good faith, and that the representative for the Friends of Semmes to whom he spoke knew who she was hiring.

The members of “The Prancing Elite” sympathized with those who were offended.

“We do want to apologize if we offended anybody who did not know who we were before today, but still at the end of the day, we only just came to dance and we did get invited,” troupe leader Collins said.

Since news of the incident at the parade hit social media last night, the group has booked events for New Year’s Eve and Mardi Gras.

Meanwhile, according to Claudia Davis the Friends of Semmes have been removed as organizers of the Christmas parade. The city council will organize the event next year.

What's the problem?

Just because you see a few guys twerk it, you want to push your bigotry against them. They aren't going around strip teasing for men. They're just performing their routine.

Now the controversy gotten so much attention, the city of Mobile decided to pull the plug on the Prancing Elite. They said that they're no longer invited due to the outcry from residents.

Chiara de Blasio: I'm Only Human!

Bill de Blasio's daughter Chiara reveals to the press her battles with depression and drug abuse.

The racist right hates Bill de Blasio. They hate him just as much as President Barack Obama. The reason why, is purely simple.

The mayor-elect of New York City ran on a populist agenda that rolls back NYPD's stop-and-frisk policy, one of the country's harshest police profiling policies pushed by the aggressive predecessors Michael Bloomberg and Rudy Giuliani.

The racist right can't stand him for being married to a "strong Black woman" and having "mixed children" as well.

I've heard conservative agitators say that de Blasio is a "communist" and "traitor". They've called him the "White Obama" because he believes in income inequality. That issue continues to plague New York City's residents.

Then of course, the racist right is rooting for despair in New York City. They hope that his first term results in epic crime, a terrorist attack and people moving out because they can't stand a Democrat running the city.

Well here comes another bone for the racist right to chew on. Since children and young adults are off limits in the era of politics, the racist right will ignore that and focus on the problems.

Chiara de Blasio, the 19-year old daughter of the mayor is telling the world that she has a problem. She wants to tell the world that she can handle her problems with the help of family and a support group.

She revealed to the press in a five minute video about her depression, her addiction to marijuana and alcohol.

Of course, young teens will try something new once in awhile. I mean no one is perfect. But her father's opponents will try to milk this into a sensational story. I can figure that Rupert's New York Post will find some outcry about it.

Chiara and Dante de Blasio at their father's campaign rally.

There limited media appearances for Chiara, who with her 16-year-old brother Dante featured prominently in their father’s recent election campaign. As stated, children are there only when their parent is running. So it would be considered off limits to go after a child.

In the video she stated, “[I've] had depression, like clinical depression for my entire adolescence,” she said, looking healthy and assured.

“It made it easier like the more I drank and did drugs to share some common ground with people that I wouldn’t have.

“It didn’t start out as a huge thing for me but then it became a huge thing for me,” she added, to an accompanying soundtrack of soft piano music.

She credited her therapist for referring her to an out-patient therapy center in New York City, and her mother and busy father with being committed to getting her better.

“Getting sober is always a positive thing and it’s not easy. By no means is it easy. It’s the hardest thing I’ve ever done but it’s so worth it,” she said.

The Raw Story added she said beating drugs and alcohol enabled her to participate in her father’s campaign, calling it “like the greatest thing ever”, do well in school and explore things other than partying.

She called on viewers to acknowledge alcoholism and drug addiction as a disease.

“People are suffering from this disease and dying from this disease every day and we really can’t do anything as a society to help those people until we start talking about it,” she said.

According to the video, 28 percent of Americans drink at levels that put them at risk of alcohol dependence.

“If you think you have a problem, don’t wait. Ask for help,” it ended with a written message and the website address for ok2talk.org, which helps young adults who suffer from mental illness.

We here at Journal de la Reyna wish Chiara a successful life.

Rise And Shine!

Some of our workers in 13 American states are going to see a jump in their paychecks.

Didn't I tell ya, that the service industry is a beast. It's proven time after time! That if you're in the service industry, you're in a thankless job where the hours are stressful and the people buying a product are not grateful for it being there. When they don't get satisfaction, they'll lie and cheat to get what they want. 

Your manager will bend over backwards for the person. They'll give them what they want. They may give you the pink slip if there's a possibility of failure in your duties.

Now the state legislatures of Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Missouri, Montana, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Washington will jump their pay rates.

Arizona: $7.80 to $7.90

Colorado: $7.78 to $8.00

Connecticut: $8.25 to $8.70

Florida: $7.79 to $7.93

Missouri: $7.35 to $7.50

Montana: $7.80 to $7.90

New Jersey: $7.25 to $8.25

New York: $7.25 to $8.00

Ohio: $7.85 to $7.95

Oregon: $8.95 to $9.10

Rhode Island: $7.75 to $8.00

Vermont: $8.60 to $8.73

Washington: $9.19 to $9.32

Then of course, your local jurisdictions are also going to see a modest rise. 

Albuquerque, N.M.: $8.50 to $8.60

Bernalillo County, N.M.: $8.00 to $8.50

San Francisco, Calif.: $10.55 to $10.74

San Jose, Calif.: $10.00 to $10.15

SeaTac, Wash.: $9.19 to $15.00

President Barack Obama and Democrats had hoped that the Congress would pass a legislative adjustment to raising the current wage to $10.00 an hour. But the impact could hurt the ones who are already there at the mark. 

See if the next hire comes in at $10.00 and the person that was there for years gets to that point, then it would be irrelevant for that longstanding person to have a $10.00 wage. Because the person hired is already making what the longtime worker earned.

That happens. And it's not fair. An earned income adjustment doesn't often happen in the service industry.

Especially if you're signed under a contract with a union. 

Anyway, what are you thoughts on the states raising their rates?
