BREAKING: Nipsey Hussle Passed Away!

Nipsey Hussle was killed in ambush outside his clothing store.

GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE THREAT IN THE UNITED STATES.

Rapper Nipsey Hussle was killed after a shooting in Los Angeles. Some terrorist massacred him and two other individuals. Another heartless tragedy. A young life lost. Nipsey Hussle was a father, a son, a citizen, a human being and victim of senseless gun violence.

This was late breaking news. The Grammy-nominated rapper was shot outside his own clothing store says multiple sources familiar with the situation.

Devastating news in the music industry. Another great talent gone in the prime of his life.



Two other men were shot as well in are serious condition.

Known by legal name Ermias Ashgedom, the rapper was a rising star in the hip-hop community.

Hussle's rap album, Victory Lap was nominated for best rap album at the Grammy Awards.

Hussle had ties to the domestic terrorist group the Crips. He was known to be tied to the Rollin 60s, a domestic terrorist group that had been on Los Angeles Police Department's radar for a long time.

He leaves behind his partner, actress/model Lauren London. She is the mother of one of his children.
Nipsey Hussle and Lauren London secured a modeling gig before his tragic death.
The actress has a child from D'Wayne Michael Carter, known to the world as Lil' Wayne.

Nipsey Hussle has other children from previous relationships.

Just this year, he and London were doing a modeling shoot for GQ Magazine.  He secured a modeling gig and was at the time of his prime.

The suspect is currently at large. Once caught, he will face capital murder. The state of California is debating over the death card. If Gavin Newsom does approve reforms, the suspect may be de facto saved. But if caught and convicted in present time, it's the death card.

More developments on Journal de la Reyna. I will find out more information.





Societal Treatment Toward Certain Victims of Crime- Part One

American Society Shows No Sympathy Toward Certain Women Victims Of Crime- Part One

This post is an ongoing series concerning how this society treats certain types of female victims of crime and how the media and the general public responds to such women.

We know that men are disproportionate victims of crime.  While women are less likely to be victims of crime generally, there are different groups of women who suffer disproportionately.  Many of such women come from ethnic groups such as Blacks, Latinos, American Indian, Pacific Islanders, Appalachian Whites.  Also, poor women of all races, also suffered from high crime victimization due to their circumstances.  Women engaged in sex work are victimized by crime as well

It's so easy to blame the poor for being victims of crime because we're insulated.  Crime happens to anyone regardless of class, where you live, or occupation.


The recent murders of Trinity Love Jones and Amber Evans should have gotten more attention from the media.  The problem is that they're Black, not White.  Not Asian.  Not rich and famous.   They're just ordinary Black girls/women going about their daily lives.   Instead of talking about their lives, the media goes through their backgrounds, those of their parents, friends, which neighborhood they came from, their educational background and so on.

When it comes to murder of prostitutes, the general public, media, and society in general has no sympathy whatsoever.  This culture has a Madonna/whore complex when it comes to womens' sexuality and behavior. We want women to be perfect in all areas of life, scorned and castigated when fall short of societal ideas.

For example, when the victims of serial killer Anthony Sowell were discovered and identified by Cleveland police and forensics in late October and early November, the media immediately labeled the women as drug addicts, prostitutes, mentally ill runaways.  Since Mr. Sowell's arrest back in 2009, Cleveland’s local radio-talk shows, which have been having a field day with the story since it broke and in the embedded local racial animus exposed by a white caller to one of those talk shows, who essentially blamed the victims—either for being crack whores, or for simply living in a black neighborhood.

Imperial Beverage Store owner Assad Tayeh has those same views as the callers.  According to the Cleveland Plain Dealer, Mr. Tayeh said the following:

"No one knows the case against accused serial killer Anthony Sowell better than Assad Tayeh.


Mr. Tayeh,  who goes by the name "Sam," began with a disclaimer that he’s not a racist, just a "regular human being." He then launched into a tirade of the neighborhood’s dope boys and disreputable women – much like the 11 women whose remains were found in and around Sowell’s home in 2009.  He said the following:
"Whoever did that to these women, that is not right," he said. "But for me to have sympathy for these women – Zero…. What do you want? Police to be a babysitter for these women who get killed?"
This man has absolutely no sympathy for the victims whatsoever.
Tayeh told jurors he knew Sowell well. He knew his behaviors, his patterns, his girlfriends – even the brand of beer he preferred. And he recognized when Sowell’s behavior and personality had taken a dark turn.
The once well-dressed and polite Sowell had let himself go, seemed paranoid and acted like the crack addicts Tayeh said frequented the neighborhood.
Defense attorneys, who argued that Sowell’s behavior changed after a heart attack in early 2007, asked Tayeh if he was aware of Sowell’s health problems.
"So if he had a heart attack, that would make him change?" Tayeh asked incredulously. "What’s the heart attack have to do with it?"
Tayeh also described for jurors the stench of rotting meat that saturated the neighborhood during the years Sowell lived there.
Try as he might, Tayeh said, he never could pinpoint the cause. But during his testimony, he seemed to have accepted the prosecutors’ theory that the putrid smell emanated from Sowell’s backyard, basement and third floor dormer -- where the bodies were buried in shallow graves or left to decompose in the open air.
"I like Anthony," he said. "But he gave me a headache from that smell. Oh, my goodness. Especially in the summer time. … I lost a lot of customers because of it."
So he blames the sausage factory next door instead of Sowell's house.  There's a distinction between the smell of rotten meat and rotten corpses.  Is he insane?  Or was he covering up for his "friend?"  This man should've been arrested a long time ago for his complicity in the serial killer's crimes.  I'm sorry, I'm not buying his argument. He views the women in the Mount Pleasant neighborhood as not having any "morals" or whatever he defines what a good woman should be.  I think he has deep contempt for the people in the neighborhood despite having a convenience store there.  He still operates a convenience store a few blocks away from Sowell's former home and still has contempt for the people who reside there.
He, along with the rest of the people outside of Cleveland, has a strong contempt for Black people in general.  He sees us as being "problems", not as fellow citizens.  Law enforcement, the city media, and the general public share some or all of his belief concerning fellow Black citizens of the city.  
According to Tayeh, using the Madonna/whore mythology so prevalent in America and around the world,  Black women aren't deserving of respect or concern.  To him and his ilk, we're just "garbage."  Mr. Sowell thinks the same way about Black women.  Look up the trial transcripts online.
At least one writer in the Cleveland Plain Dealer gave the victims not just sympathy but also their humanity and character before unfortunate circumstances took their lives, but of their legacies the victims left behind.  Thank goodness for that.  Usually, the media labels such women as nobodies who don't exist.  But the lady took the time to know the families of the victims, humanize their lives etc.
I wish people take the time to sympathize with crime victims and not being dismissive of their families left behind.

What Happened To Samantha Josephson?

Young woman made a fatal mistake while picking up an Uber.
Okay, a missing white woman was found dead in South Carolina.

How much you bet the Republican governor Henry McMaster, Donald J. Trump and South Carolina Republicans will create a law named after her?

If this was a woman of color, would you see stories about her? Would they devote their coverage to all the positive things about her?

Although I am sadden by this young woman's tragic death, it comes as no surprise that people are so fucking stupid. I continue to drive for Uber from time to time. I see how white people get wasted and ignorant. I am not saying she's ignorant but not seeing who her Uber rider was is a perfect example of why it's important to know how to use the app.

Please plan your trips.

Check your rider's ratings.

Make sure you see the picture and license of the vehicle.

If you fear for your life, call 9-1-1.

Samantha Josephson went missing in Columbia on Friday.

She was waiting for an Uber ride when she got into a vehicle driven by this scumbag.

This scumbag was arrested this weekend after the law determined that he may have been involved in the murder of this young woman.
Suspect caught after a chase. They found the victim's clothes and phone inside the car.
Josephson, 21 was at a local bar waiting on the UberX ride. The Uber driver scrapped her ride request. I am assuming that the victim was heavily intoxicated when she got into a stranger's vehicle.

The woman went missing and the local and national junk food media was talking about it.

Her friends believed that she went home. They tried to call her phone but got no response. So they called the police and they immediately launched a search.

It was two men who were hunting for turkeys in rural Clarendon County. The body was found about five miles from the town of Manning.

Police release security camera footage of the vehicle and tips led to a person of interest. The Columbia Police would soon arrested this scumbag. This scumbag had bleach in his vehicle, traces of the victim's blood inside the vehicle. He would also have the victim's deactivated phone.

The Columbia Police announced that the suspect is being charged with murder. The suspect could face the death penalty if convicted. The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

Her father made an emotional cry for justice.



Truly a sad day at the University of South Carolina. These students are expected to have a safe environment. Where were the police?

Uber has no comment on what happened. It was not Uber's fault for the mistake. But it's not going to look good for them.



The Law Releases The Willie McCoy Shooting Video!

Willie Bo (born Willie McCoy) was shot inside his vehicle at a fast food restaurant. The cops claim he was reaching for a gun.
BE WARNED. THERE WILL BE GRAPHIC FOOTAGE AND IMAGES IN THIS POSTING. TAKE DISCRETION IN VIEWING THIS.

William McCoy was killed by the Vallejo Police Department in February. He was gunned down in a Taco Bell drive-thru after he was awaken to two cops who tapped on his vehicle.

After long recording session, McCoy (known as Willie Bo) was ordering food from Taco Bell.

He was slurring in speech and waiting in line for a long period of time. As people were waiting in the line, the employees called the law to report suspicious activity.

Two cops would arrive and notice that McCoy was sleeping with a firearm in his lap.

Police bodycam shows an officer saying "he's moving" as the cop would soon proceed to open fire on the vehicle.

Multiple shots were fired at McCoy ten minutes into the footage as the officer shouts at him ordering him to show his hands.

The cops claim he was reaching for his firearm. His family dismissed that saying that he has a legal right to own a firearm and he was a victim of crime. He would have a right to have a firearm given that Vallejo Police are incompetent to say the least.

"The officers told the driver to keep his hands visible, however the driver quickly reached for the handgun on his lap. In fear for their own safety, the officers discharged their weapons at the driver. … This is our first time releasing video in this fashion and it is our hope the TWE can provide sufficient context for the community to understand the facts of this case."

The 30-minute video, excerpted here, was released by the Vallejo Police Department. It showed the Feb. 9 encounter from different angles via the officers' cameras. The video showed officers approach a vehicle where  McCoy was inside. Neither his face nor a weapon appeared to be visible in the footage.
The moment the cops fired through the window shooting Willie McCoy.
The cops fired upon him twenty times. They shot him in the chest, his head and arm. They blew off his ear and left him for dead. As they were told to "cease fire" they pulled the unconscious body out the car.

He would die at the scene.

The Solano County District Attorney office will decide whether those involve get criminal charge.

It's amazing that a video shows one side. The side of the cops are often taken over the dead body.

Willie Bo was part of this group called FBG and he was gunned down in a fast food restaurant.

BAD COPS WILL GET GOOD COPS KILLED

GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER THREAT IN THE UNITED STATES.

Never Forget Them!

Parkland survivor killed herself.

Before we close out the month of March, I want to address the aftermath of gun violence. Three surviving individuals who had ties to the most brutal mass shootings in U.S. history committed suicide.

1. Sydney Aiello. The 19-year old teen committed suicide. Her mother Cara confirmed the news of her death this week. Aiello, a student at Florida Atlantic University died on Sunday.

Aiello was on the campus of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland. She lost two of her friends in the February 2018 mass shooting.

2. Calvin Desir. The 16-year old took his own life as well. He was the second student to commit suicide. The teen's death is undetermined but some of his family members determined that he committed suicide after watching the Parkland massacre happen before his eyes.

Desir was a sophomore who was currently attended the school.
The effects of gun violence and depression.

3. Jeremy Richman, the father of Sandy Hook victim Avielle committed suicide. He was one of the many parents who wanted the government to change gun laws in the United States. The far-white has often mocked his child's death by making claims that the victims of these latest mass shootings are crisis actors.

Richman is survived by a wife, his deceased daughter and two children.

The deaths are a result of the post traumatic stress of surviving a mass shooting. Individuals who survive gun violence never truly recover.
Sandy Hook father committed suicide.
Thanks to folks like Alex Jones and The Gateway Pundit, the stress finally takes a toll.

The infamous kookspiracy nut was in deposition this month. He is hoping that the families of Sandy Hook and Parkland don't bankrupt his InfoWars empire.

The terrorists who commit these criminal acts often are driven by factors like rejection. These folks destroy lives.



Linda McMahon Out!

Trump and WWE president Vince McMahon. His wife, Linda McMahon is SBA chief. She is resigning to join Trump 2020.

Another high ranking Trump official is getting fired out the cannon. The former CEO of World Wrestling Entertainment and current Small Business Administration chief Linda McMahon is leaving the post to join America First, MAGA 2020, the Donald J. Trump PAC.

"Linda McMahon has done an incredible job as the head of the Small Business Administration, she has been a superstar," Trump said told reporters. "She'll be leaving, she's going to go and help us with a very very important year-and-a-half that we have coming up."

"So I just want to again I want to thank the job that you've done," Trump said.

McMahon, the wife of president Vince McMahon had ran for U.S. Senate twice in Connecticut.

McMahon and her husband Vince, founders of World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), have known Trump since 1988, when his Atlantic City casino-hotel, the Trump Plaza, hosted WrestleMania IV. (The event was headlined by Randy "Macho Man" Savage and Ted DiBiase, now an ordained minister in Mississippi.)

WrestleMania V was also held at Trump Plaza, the only venue in the world ever to host back-to-back WrestleMania events.

WWE had inducted that moron into their Hall of Fame. Trump is good friends with the McMahon family. He has often thrown large funds into Linda's campaigns.

Vince, Shane and Linda McMahon have donated to Trump's presidential campaign.

Trump hasn't hinted on who's going to replace her. But I have a feeling that Herman Cain will be the next choice.

Lil Nas X Found Country And Rode It!

The horse ride back. Atlanta rapper Lil Nas X release a song that makes it to the country music boards. Billboard pulls it off the charts.
Rapper Lil Nas X releases a two minute song and it races up the charts. The country music stations are playing it. The single heads to Billboard and becomes a part of the Hot 100, the top country and top hip-hop/R&B charts.

It was independently released on December 3, 2018, and became popular in early 2019 through the social media app TikTok. The song reached the top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100 and number 19 on the Hot Country Songs chart before the magazine disqualified it from being included on the latter.

It also made the Top 40 in charts around the world, including in Belgium, New Zealand, Ireland, and Norway.

A few days later, Billboard removes the single from the top country charts claiming it doesn't meet the criteria.

It's not just a hip-hop themed song, it's actually a country single.

"Old Town Road" made Billboard history when it became the first song to simultaneously chart on the Billboard Hot 100, Hot Country Songs and Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs charts in March 2019.

However, Billboard quietly removed "Old Town Road" from its Hot Country chart for "not [embracing] enough elements of today’s country music".
Serious trolling from Lil Nas X
Lil Nas X stated he was "extremely disappointed" by the decision.

Country music fans and hip-hop fans are calling out Billboard for that. They believe the decision was racially bias towards the entertainer.

Billboard also addressed critics who suggested that the rapper was being singled out because of his race, because pop crossover songs are routinely included on country charts.

"Billboard's decision to take the song off of the country chart had absolutely nothing to do with the race of the artist," the statement said.

Lil Nas X was recently signed to Columbia Records.

The song has spawned dance videos and got a shout-out on social media from Justin Bieber. Texas Tech’s basketball team posted a video of the team dancing to the song in the locker room and country singer Jake Owen tweeted at the rapper, saying he wanted to jam with him.

Shawn Corey Carter, known as Jay-Z is going to be the legal representation for Lil Nas X.

White Woman Gets Light Sentence For Shoving Another Off A Bridge!

White woman gets light sentence for brutal attack.
It's amazing that Donald J. Trump refuses to acknowledge criminal justice reform. I guess he is looking towards the "both sides" argument of criminal acts.

There was a Washington woman who just got served two days and community service after shoving another woman off a Vancouver, Washington bridge.

Tay'lor Smith was crying in court as the judge handed her the most lightest sentence ever given in a blatant felonious assault. This week she was served two days in the iron college, handed a hefty fine and told to do work crew.

Clark County District Court Judge Darvin Zimmerman gave the 19-year old woman time in the iron college for the injuries imposed on her former friend.

Smith plead guilty to misdemeanor reckless endangerment as a part of the plea agreement. Had she went to trial, she would have gotten felonious assault and reckless endangerment with intent to kill.
The victim had massive injuries.
Back in August, Smith pushed, Jordan Holgerson off a bridge over Moulton Falls. The video that was shared on social media clearly shows Smith shoving a scared Holgerson off the bridge.

The fall was 50-feet and broke Holgerson's ribs, caused severe bruising and punctured her lungs.

The young woman now has therapy to regain strength, pain long-lasting, panic attacks and anxiety.

Holgerson also cried in the court as she read her statement detailing how this incident became a life-altering experience.

"It cost me and my family lost wages not to mention stress and heartache."
The victim speaks to the judge about the ordeal.
Smith apologized to the young woman and told her that she will continue to do her best to be forgiven by the incident.

Donald J. Trump, the most divisive human being to ever lead this country is obsessed with Jussie Smollett and wants the Department of Justice to do a formal inquiry into the matter.

If this incident was a Black woman pushing a white woman off a bridge, almost immediately he would have responded with some form of tweet calling for the "fullest prosecution according to law."

Again, white women get away with stuff like this.

Remember that white woman who tried to poison her college roommate. She rubbed tampons over her food and meddled with her facial cream. She deliberately tried to make life miserable for the young Black woman.

She got a slap on the wrist and kicked out of a college.

Cardi B Faces Heat Over Honey Trapping!

Cardi B faces heat for allegedly drugging men and robbing them. She was then a prostitute who did it to pay off pimps.
Bill Cosby found three to ten. He was convicted of raping Andrea Constand. She accused Cosby of drugging her drink and molesting her. Cosby is currently serving his time in a Pennsylvania iron college.

Now the junk food media is calling out entertainers who should face criminal charges for sexual abuse.

Enter Grammy award winning entertainer and social media darling, Belcalis Marlenis Cephus (nee Alamanzar). You may know her as Cardi B.

Cardi B facing heat over her past. The entertainer said that she was a prostitute and she deliberately honey trapped men. That means she would befriend them, drug them and stole money for her dope boyfriends.

Now people are calling for the law to look into the matter.


Vox had reported on a video that surfaced recently. In the video, Cardi says was made three years ago, made its way onto Twitter last weekend and features Cardi reminiscing about the time when she worked as a stripper — a time when, she said, “I’d drug ni**as up and I’d rob them.”

Cardi has since confirmed the video is real and apologized for it after it caused an uproar on social media. “I made the choices I did at the time because I had very limited options,” she wrote on an Instagram post on Tuesday, adding, “I have a past that I can’t change we all do.”

For some fans, though, Cardi’s past is beyond the pale. Tweeting under the hashtag #SurvivingCardiB — a reference to the Lifetime docuseries about R. Kelly’s alleged sexual abuse — many have compared Cardi’s actions to those of both Kelly and the similarly disgraced Bill Cosby

“you bragged about the same wrong doings that got one of my Idol Legacy ruined!!” wrote one Bill Cosby fan, who, in a bit of selective fury, was apparently outraged not just because Cardi says she robbed men, but also because she used to be a stripper. “And you think we gonna let this fly? You next!!”

The rapper responded to the controversy by posting a lengthy long statement "apologizing but not apologizing" for her past.


So many folks are dismissing this. Others are seeing this as Black outrage by two lens. Some believe that the same standards should be held to every entertainer.

Is Cardi B is no different from Bill Cosby and R. Kelly?

Should we condone this or denounce this as sexual abuse?

Trump Sics The FBI On Jussie Smollett!

Trump decides to meddle in the Jussie Smollett controversy.

Okay, we are now using federal resources to go after political enemies.

Whereas we have individuals who have committed far worse criminal acts in this country alone. This imbecile openly embraces kookspiracy theories (i.e. Seth Rich's murder). He has vilified American lawmakers, those who worked for the FBI, went to social media to rally online harassment and Fox News to amplify public dissent.

Yet, he was not charged with a criminal act. Seven of his allies were charged with criminal acts. Donald J. Trump clearly did wrong doing but managed to get away with it.

Earlier this morning, Trump tweeted his disgust for the charges being dropped against Empire actor Jussie Smollett.

So he wants to use the FBI and Department of Justice to go after Smollett.

Instead of taking an impartial side, he fully went on the "guilty by public opinion." The imbecile may have tainted the case.

"I think that case is an absolute embarrassment to our country, and somebody has to at least take a very good hard look at it," Trump told reporters at the White House, echoing a tweet he sent earlier in the day.

Speaking as he left for an evening political rally in Michigan, Trump did not explain what, if anything, federal authorities could do about Smollett after local prosecutors in Chicago decided to drop the case against him.

Trump's critics said the president is playing racial politics with the Smollett case, seeking to undercut the victims of real racial violence that is on the rise.

"By claiming a false attack, Smollett tried to exploit the hate @realDonaldTrump has stirred," tweeted David Axelrod, former adviser to President Barack Obama. "Now, predictably, Trump is moving to exploit Smollett’s exploitation. Talk about a vicious circle!"

Trump wants entertainers who spurn him to suffer.

Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, citing Trump's history of race relations, said the president should “sit this one out.”

The Chicago Police are so upset some of their members are going to take "sick days" to protest the state's declining charges against the embattled entertainer. They want to sent a bill to the entertainer for the time spent for the investigation.

Oh, yeah, why don't they pay off those families that had their children shot and killed by the Chicago Police. Should the citizens force the Chicago Police to bill the victims of the most recent raid on a local family's home. The woman who lived there had the police enter her home while she was celebrating her son's birthday.

Smollett was written out of the final episodes of Empire. It's unclear whether Fox may renew the show or cancel it. The possibility of renewal only seems likely but for a final season.

Smollett continues to maintain his innocence.

Scare "Us!"


Jordan Peele's blockbuster movie Us is number one in the nation. Monkeypaw Productions and Universal Pictures announced this movie is number one in the United States.

Friday was the release of Us and it was a success.

Peele is becoming a powerful figure in Black cinema.

The movie featuring Lupita Nyong'o, Winston Duke and Elisabeth Moss is one of the scariest horror movies in 2019. It is a movie that features Nyong'o as a woman who vacations with her parents in California.

The woman, Adelaide Thomas (Nyong'o) goes into a funhouse and she encounters a doppelganger of herself in a hall of mirrors. When she returns with her family, their lives are turned upside down.

People have said that this movie will make you jump.

I am planning on seeing this movie.

Let's look at the trailer.

Congratulations to Jordan Peele and Lupita Nyong'o for the success of Us.
