Frank Lucas Passed Away!

Kingpin of the drug trade Frank Lucas passed away.
The American Gangster.

Frank Lucas, the former drug kingpin who led a revolution of narco trade passed away at a local New Jersey hospital. He died of unspecified health issues.

Lucas rose to power in the 1960s and 1970s dealing boy (heroin) in Harlem.

He once boasted that he would cut out the middleman and got his product directly from the Southeast Asian gangs and cartels. He would be smuggle the goods through the coffins of dead U.S. servicemen.

Frank Lucas was born in North Carolina before he made moves to New York.

He got in the trade early when the stuff wasn't illegal. He went by the name of "Blue Magic" and held ground with numerous celebrities, politicians and business executives.
Wheelchair bound, Frank Lucas wrote books and told tales of his life as a kingpin.
He said that his boy got the girls going crazy. He said that heroin was the purest in the streets.

He was soon caught by the feds when he was holding assets in places where the taxman couldn't find. He was busted in the mid-1970s. He held properties in Chicago, Detroit, Miami, New York City, Newark, Greensboro and the U.S. territory of Puerto Rico.

Lucas was convicted of federal and state drug violations and was sentenced to 70 years in federal time out. Lucas turned snitch on his formers and sold them out to get a light sentence. He would end up getting five years and a lifetime of parole. He would get busted again for trying to start the business up again. He ended up getting seven more in federal time out.

He was survived by his seven children. He was 88 years old at the time of his passing.

Denzel Washington played Frank Lucas in the 2000s movie American Gangster.

Bloody Beach: Mass Shooting In Virginia Beach!

Another mass shooting in the country. Virginia Beach got a mass shooting.
Thoughts and prayers, thoughts and prayers. Thoughts and prayers will not heal the wounded or bring back the dead. Your heart can't go out to people who you barely know. Your condolences aren't helping. GOD is not fixing this.

Moments of silence and lowering of flags aren't going to change this.

This is a man-made crisis.

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


Another mass shooting in the United States. This one in Virginia Beach. The shooter was caught. Who will actually take the blame? (Expect far-white trolls to pick the dumbest answers)

Donald Trump
Barack Obama
Muslims
Black Lives Matter
Immigrants
NRA
Progressives
Conservatives
Video Games
Rap Music
Gov. Ralph Northam
Congress
March For Our Lives
The Junk Food Media
The Shooter

The latest mass shooting in the United States was in Virginia Beach, Virginia.

The largest city in the state with 459,000 residents is now mourning and of course the usual sympathies from the local leaders, the National Rifle Association, Donald J. Trump, Mike Pence, Gov. Ralph Northam, Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA), Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA) and the 11 U.S. lawmakers will do the usual thoughts and prayers and ask Americans to do more to stop gun violence by praying.
SWAT had to stop a terrorist who 11 people.
This happened at the municipal center in the heart of the city. A terrorist who was a former city employee laid waste to individuals (including the good guy with a gun). The police officer who was shot is at the hospital. He barely escape the ultimate fate.

The terrorist manage to lay waste to 11 and injure an additional six others.

The shooter died after a gunfight with the law.

CNN reports that Virginia Beach police chief James Cervera said the terrorist was a former employee for the city who was let go.
Lives are ruined.
"This is the most devastating day in the history of Virginia Beach," said mayor Bobby Dyer. "The people involved are our friends, coworkers, neighbors, colleagues."

The terrorist opened fire on numerous floors.

The shooting happened at a moment where people were at the weakest moment. There people who were probably getting their licenses, paying bills, filing business applications and paying their tickets. These folks lives are either gone or interrupted by the gunfire.

The FBI, the state police, Virginia Beach Police and the ATF will do a formal investigation and determine whether the motives were inspired by the terrorist being fired out the cannon.

Victims are being transferred to local hospitals within the Hampton Roads region.

When is this shit gonna stop?




Kellz Got A Federal Sandwich!

More charges are coming.
Disgraced musician faces state and federal charges.

There are 11 more charges added to Robert Sylvester Kelly. The 52-year old entertainer is charged with allegations of sexual abuse with a victim who was 13 years old at the time. The victim carried a three year tryst.

Chicago prosecutors charged R. Kelly with four counts of aggravated criminal sexual assault by force, two counts of criminal sexual abuse, three counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse.

Those charges added on could put the singer in the iron college for LIFE.

Back in February, the singer was arrested and charged with 10 counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse against four women. Three of the women were under the age of 17 at the time of the alleged assaults.

It remains unclear if the news charges involve a new victim or an accuser currently in the cases filed, the singer does have a plate.

Since the Lifetime documentary Surviving R. Kelly came to light it pretty much opened up a can of worms. Women from all parts of the country accused the singer of being a sexual deviant who has control over their daily lives.

The singer denies the allegations and went to CBS's Gayle King to deny the allegations in a fiery interview.

The singer is also facing child support and alimony charges. He was locked up after his ex-wife Andrea Kelly filed a lawsuit stating the singer failed to live up to his child support. Kelly was held up because he failed to pay the $161,000 in child support.

Kelly is mounting a strong defense. Kim Foxx and Michael Avenatti both faced a backlash. Foxx, the prosecutor who served Kelly is under fire for looking then other way when Jussie Smollett filed a police report claiming he was a victim of a hate crime. Smollett's actions cost Empire and Star a follow up season. Avenatti, the former lawyer for Stormy Daniels is facing a federal sandwich as well. He allegedly stole from his clients and failed to pay his taxes. These scandals could taint the case and give R. Kelly a chance to walk free.

Time's up for R. Kelly. He needs to be held accountable for his actions.

The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

Fox News Calls White Extremist A Good Friend!

Fox News is defending extremism.
The faces of the far white.

Note: There are two women of color but they might as well be the tokens in a jukebox.

Michelle Malkin, Candace Owens, Milo Yiannopoulos, Laura Loomer, Dan Scavino, James Woods and Alex Jones are banned or on the verge of being banned on social media. Years of trolling has become a final straw for Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.

Now Fox News wants to complain about them being censored from being hate mongers.

The propaganda arm of Donald J. Trump and the Republican Party is calling a notorious white extremist a well respective conservative.

Paul Nehlen is a Wisconsin based far-white agitator who wanted to be a member of Congress. He wanted to replace Paul Ryan bit ended up losing to a Republican who didn't wear his racism on his sleeve.
Elizabeth Warren will not be a pawn to Fox News or its audience.
Nehlen is a controversial figure. He openly support white extremists and far-right agitators.

He was banned recently from social media after they determined he would be a dangerous influence peddler.

Laura Ingraham did a segment to defend controversial agitator Candace Owens and placed her and a handful of others in the "censorship" of prominent figures.

Ingraham managed to slip Nehlen into the segment.



Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) went to The View and told the ladies that the reasons why she refuse to do a town hall for Fox News. She said that it will give them a reason to make a profit.

Warren is often attacked by Republicans and Fox News for demanding the rich pay are fair share of taxes. She is often mocked by Trump. He often calls her Pocahontas.

Warren said that she doesn't mind going to Republican States to engage with folks who may never vote for her. But she said that giving Fox News and it's executives a reason to profit off the term of being "fair and balanced" is not acceptable.

Warren rather not give the ad revenue to a hate for profit business.

Trump TV vs. China TV!

Chinese media mock dumb as a box of rocks Fox News personality.
Fox Business personality goes after Chinese American personality who reports for China-state television.

Trish Regan is a dumb sack of rocks who trots out Donald J. Trump propaganda on her network Fox News. She happens to be one of the many "business" folks on its sister network Fox Business.

She and Liu Xin, a media personality for CGTN duke it out over Trump's disastrous trade war with China.

In the time of epic weather events, Trump has a trade war in which folks who are struggling after weather events will find no comfort when the price of food, gas, electronics and necessities go up at the local stores.

Regan in Sean "Softball" Hannity fashion attacks Xin for being a state propagandist who supports Communism. Again the fear mongering of economics is a tradition among conservatives and Republicans.

I will say this in defense of Fin. She has to get a paycheck somewhere.

Fox News is the least diverse network when it comes to hiring journalist of color. The only person of color to host a show is a sexual harasser named No Neck Charles Payne.

The video will be up until Fox News claims copyright infringement.


Reminder NowThis hosted a Danish politician to debunk Regan's bullshit.

Larry King In Dire Staits!

Larry King's health declining. It may be the end of a legendary voice in American media.
An iconic broadcaster took a turn for the worst.

Larry King was hospitalized this month for an illness and his family has said that he has taken a turn for the worse. Me and Le Reyna best known him as the iconic talk show host on CNN.

King who hosted Larry King Live until 2011 was the go-to for celebrities, politicians and people in the news. He was considered one of the most trusted and fairest interviewers. Barack and Michelle Obama, Bill and Hillary Clinton, Jimmy Carter, George W. Bush and Donald J. Trump have been on Larry King Live. It was one of CNN's only programs where you can call in.

People are concerned that King is dying.

King failed to show up for the American Spirit Awards ceremony.

King who is a survivor of 13 heart attacks was treated in Los Angeles just last month for a heart scare.

King, 85 was appearing to look gaunt and frail. His friends said he lost massive weight and has been in terrible shape. They said that King is fighting through watching his beloved Los Angeles Dodgers on television.

A former smoker, King often told his story about how his life changed after experiencing a heart attack.

King has been married eight times and has five children. He is the host of Larry King Now on Hulu, Ora TV and RT America. He also hosted paid commercials for Omega-3 XL.

We will keep you posted on Larry King's health.

Thad Cochran Passed Away!

Thad Cochran passed away.
Sen. Cindy Hyde Smith (R-MS) replace him and won her special election to finish out his term. She ran like the racist she grew up to be. Had he been in perfect health, Thad Cochran would have served out his term.

Cochran died at the age of 81. He and former Indiana senator Richard Lugar were the few moderate Republicans left. Lugar died earlier this month.

Considered a rank and file, the former senator would be too moderate for today's Republican Party.

Cochran served the U.S. Senate for 45 years. He resigned in 2018 because of his ailing health. He passed away in Oxford. He leaves behind his second wife Kay Webber-Cochran and two children from his first wife, Rose Cochran.

He called the chaos in Washington, DC as an ongoing challenge.

Known as the "quintessential Southern gentleman" he would often be the broker of calm in a polarizing Senate. With folks like Mitch McConnell, Lindsey Graham, Ted Cruz, Bernie Sanders, Cory Booker, Marco Rubio, Chuck Schumer, Elizabeth Warren, Martha McSally, Joe Manchin, Susan Collins, Kamala Harris and Rand Paul dominating the news feeds, you often needed a voice of reason to calm nerves.

"Some people say that Thad Cochran is the last true southern gentleman, and I think there's a lot of truth to that. Some people say that he represents the lost art of being nice," said Sen. Richard Shelby (R-AL).

Gov. Phil Bryant, Barack Obama, Mike Pence, Sen. Roger Wicker (R-MS) and Hyde Smith all expressed their phony condolences to the late former senator.

Cochran was elected to the U.S. Senate in 1978. He served as U.S. Representative for three terms prior. He was the first Republican to be elected statewide in Mississippi in more than 100 years. He served with then Senate Majority Leader at the time Trent Lott. Lott is best known for praising far-white bigot and hypocrite (by the way of an interracial daughter) Strom Thurmond.
Cochran with his successor Cindy Hyde Smith.
Cochran faced an onslaught of conservative outrage. In 2014, Sarah Palin, Sean "Softball" Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, Laura Ingraham and The Drudge Report marked him for defeat. They recruited Chris McDaniel to run against him.

McDaniel who ran a dirty campaign tried to play upon family values by denouncing Cochran who was dating his staffer Kay Webber while his wife Rose Cochran was dying.

Chuck C. Johnson, the far-white troll paid folks to expose Cochran. It failed miserably.

Cochran counted on open primary support from the Black voters. A largely Democratic base supported a Republican is amazing. He went on to defeat McDaniel in the primary.

Cochran would marry Webber soon after his wife's death and reelection.
Cochran was one of the few Republican senators to support the bill to make Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s birthday a national holiday.

I am not too keen on Republicans and I seriously believe that Donald J. Trump will destroy the party in the long run. For once I can say that Thad Cochran was probably one of the good Republicans.


This White Woman Pulled A Gun On Me At A Campground!

Campground apologizes after a worker threatened a Black couple with a gun.
They feel entitled to threaten you when you're minding your business. They call the law on you for the most asinine things and then threaten violence when they don't get their way.

People of color are under attack, especially women of color. More women of color are subjected to abuse from men, the law, and the entertainment industry.

Black women are vilified as "welfare queens" and such by the far-white.

Here's another example of why firearms should never be in the hands of folks.

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

A white campground employee was fired out the cannon in Mississippi after she pulled a firearm on a Black couple who had stopped by with their dog to have a picnic.

Franklin and Jessica Richardson with their 2-year old dog had went to the Kampgrounds of America in Starkville to have a lakeside picnic. They were spotted by a woman who wore the KOA attire approach them in a truck.
Jessica and Franklin Richardson were accosted by a white woman with a gun.
When she got out of the truck, she had the firearm on her side cocked back and ready to fire. The woman identified herself as the campground manager told the couple to leave the property. She said they didn't belong and they needed reservations.

So as the woman had her hand on the trigger, Jessica had her hands on the camera and began recording this.



The video soon went viral and KOA got word of it.

Richardson wrote on her social media thread that, "Racism is alive and well."

The couple said that the woman in yellows husband told them that reservations were not required to use the grounds.

KOA also confirmed that reservations are not required for their sites. Some are privately owned. Guest are asked to register upon arrival, which the Richardson's didn't know.

KOA formally apologize to the Richardsons. It is apparent that our country is going through another age of discourse. With Donald J. Trump, Mike Pence, Gov. Phil Bryant, Sen. Roger Wicker (R-MS), Sen. Cindy Hyde Smith (R-MS) and its three Republican U.S. congressman are enablers of bigotry in the delta.

Mind you that Mississippi is the poorest, uneducated and culturally diverse state in the country. The state has a 42% Black population but continues to elect White leaders and has the most insignificant economy of the lowers. The longtime Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS) is the sole Black and only Democrat of the U.S. lawmakers of that state. Thompson is a product of the Civil Rights era.

Mississippi is known as the Magnolia State. It is also known as the state that still relishes on 20th Century mindset.

Leon Redbone Passed Away!

Leon Redbone passed away in Pennsylvania.
Famed musician passed away at the age of 69.

As NPR puts it, Leon Redbone was an unusual singer from a bygone era.

He passed away with his family by his side in a Pennsylvania hospice. The singer best known to me was the theme song for Mr. Belvedere. He also made an appearance as Leon the Snowman in the 2003 holiday comedy Elf.

Redbone (born Dickran Gobalian) specialized the guitar. He would make sounds straight out of Tin Pan Alley. He was the guy who wore a Panama hat, dark sunglasses and a black tie.

His musical career launched in the early 1970s in a Toronto night scene.

He would perform songs that reflexes on comedy, ragtime, jazz, blues and vaudeville. He also did voice acting and occasional acting.

He was born on the island of Cyprus. He often kept his origins out of the spotlight. According to the Toronto Star, he came to Canada from Cyprus in the mid-1960s and changed his name through the Ontario Change of Name Act. The only known confirmation is his birth name and his family's Armenian heritage. 

His parents lived in Jerusalem but moved to Nicosia, Cyprus where Redbone was born. In 1961, the family moved to London and then to Toronto.

Redbone met an icon of pop culture while living in Toronto.  He met Bob Dylan at the Mariposa Folk Festival in 1972. Dylan was so impressed with Redbone's performance he told the Rolling Stone, Redbone was "so authentic you can hear the surface noise [of an 78 rpm].

Redbone had retired from the music in 2015. He released over 16 albums during his career.

He leaves behind a legacy of entertainment.

Jaime Harrison: South Carolina Needs Leaders Not Showboats!

Jaime Harrison is going against the status quo candidate Lindsey Graham.
State party's chairman is going against GOP Sundays stallworth Lindsey Graham.

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) is the most fiercest defender of Donald J. Trump, Brett Kavanaugh and the status quo.



An African American candidate who isn't an appointed Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) is throwing his hat in the ring to unseat the long term obstructionist.

Jaime Harrison has decided the time is now to get Graham out of the U.S. Senate.

Harrison who is the first Black party chairman for the Democratic Party of South Carolina has a challenge ahead. He will face a senator who will use his dirty connections and Sen. (Addison) McConnell (R-KY) to tar Harrison as the other.

Scott, the only Black Republican senator in the current term has been more vocal about the party's shift to focus on only prominent white candidates than a diverse group of Blacks who are willing to jump on the Trump Train.
This turkey neck is part of the status quo and he will continue to be if Democrats don't vote in 2020.
Graham who flip flops on Trump is considered a safe bet. We need the Democrats to mount a strong effort to unseat this asshole.

If South Carolina can elect a Democrat like Rep. Joe Cunningham (D-SC), we could bring a Democrat to the South.

There are no Democratic senators south of the Mason-Dixon line.

Yeah, I lied. There's that Sen. Doug Jones (D-AL) and Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV).

They are Democrats. They are the part of the get along gang. They will vote Republican to save their pathetic asses.

I hope the best for Jaime Harrison. Learn more about him through his campaign website.


Rebuilding The Community!

Destruction everywhere.
The power of mother nature.

Again, if you're a conservative, Republican or a person who doesn't believe in climate change, I got news for you: "This shit is definitely real."

Dayton, Ohio had three tornadoes rip through the community leaving a trail of catosphrohic damage. It will take years to rebuild the community.

Photos from some of the travels around Dayton. This is the aftermath.















These are prime examples of the aftermath of an EF3 tornado.

I am tired of thoughts and prayers. I am sick of lawmakers and photo-ops. I am sick of the lawmakers who vote against the interest of Americans who are in need of the government assistance.

I am tired of the status quo.




Mueller: I've Served The American People!

Let's get down to business.
Robert Mueller III announced that he will resign from the U.S. Justice Department as the FBI Special Counsel probe into Russian meddling came to an end.

In a 9 minute press conference, Mueller once again told the junk food media his team made the conclusions that Russia was indeed messing with the 2016 presidential election and was successful in damaging Hillary Clinton. He said that Russians used sophisticated technology to masterfully trick individuals into supporting candidates.

The second part also dealt with Donald J. Trump openly encouraging Russians to interfere in the election. The conclusions were not determined as they said it was not enough significance evidence to go after.

Mueller also noted that the Justice Department can't indict a sitting president.

Trump saw this as a victory and concluded that Democrats need to move on.

He is rallying his base on the notion that Democrats will begin impeachment hearings.

Some on the left believe he was sending signals to the embattled House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) to consider impeachment. The House Democrats who are progressive warn Pelosi and Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-MD) that they're days as top leaders are numbered.

Many Democrats believe Trump and his allies allowed foreign entities interfere in numerous elections. Many Republicans believe that the Mueller investigation was a colossal waste of time.

Trump had appointed William Barr to become the newest stooge in the Justice Department. He was also given the green light to investigate those who were involved in the Russian probe.

Mueller spoke honest about the issues. He said whatever said is strictly in the report. He didn't take any bait from the left and right. He basically said once this is done, he will retire and be a private citizen.

Democrats have signaled they're looking to have closed door and public hearings with Mueller.

Dirty Cop Who Arrested Edrick Truitt Is A Chest Thumping Far-Rightie!

Dirty cop caught up. He was exposed.
Social media will destroy lives.

The Helena-West Helena, Arkansas cop who pulled over an unarmed Black man was exposed on Facebook as one of those MAGA-ites who prodded kookspiracies and anti-Black nonsense.

On Sunday, Edrick Truitt was filming the cop trying to force him to shut off his vehicle. During the encounter the cop shouted gun and had his firearm ready to aim.

Truitt was charged for disorderly conduct and failure to comply.
Arkansas man lucky to be alive after volatile police encounter.
The encounter went viral on social media.

The cops did obtain a firearm from his vehicle. Truitt said that he was a lawful conceal carry.

The cop was named Terry "Trey" Daugherty. Heavy Media had did its fast facts on the cop and many found a disturbing portrait of a cop with a willingness to shoot first and question after claiming he feared for his life.








Now the cop is fearing for his life now that he was exposed as one of those many race soldiers who are looking for a reason to kill a person of color. He would use every technique to justify killing another person because he didn't listen to conflicting command.

Folks it's open season on people of color. This young man was lucky to be alive after this encounter. Given that he would have complied or make a sudden move, he would be the numerous lives lost to police violence.

This is Donald J. Trump's Amerikkka.

The Hardest To Bear!

AOC was mocked by a Fresno baseball team.
California baseball team is facing a backlash after they called U.S. lawmaker an "enemy of freedom."

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) was vilified by the Minor League Baseball Association and its team, the Fresno Grizzlies.

The team is an AAA-affiliate of the Washington Nationals.

Someone ran up a montage of America's so-called enemies list of leaders like Kim Jong-Un, Fidel Castro and Osama bin Laden. During the montage, they shown the freshman lawmaker and it was played on Memorial Day weekend.

Wow, that prompt the team to formally apologize on social media. They vow to cut ties to the organization that made the video.


This is a real issue among women of color.

Fox News, Tariq Nasheed, Ben Shapiro, Sean "Softball" Hannity, Tami Lahren, Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-NY), Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX), Mike Huckabee, Bill O'Reilly, Rush Limbaugh, Coondace Owens, Breitfart and others went after the lawmaker, Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) and Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN).
Fresno Grizzlies play for the California league.

These blowhards are scared of a 29-year old who is quick to punch back.

These idiots who claim they're all for freedom are scared of a woman who could enlighten Americans.

It's ridiculous to label folks but it's a part of the cynical nature of Americans.

Tornado Damages Dayton, Ohio!

The sun rises over a battered Ohio city.
Like I am shocked and really amazed at the power of mother nature.

If you're a conservative or a person who doesn't believe in climate change, then let me tell you: "This shit is real."

The Dayton region was hit with two powerful EF3 tornados overnight and destroyed significant portions of the community.

I will tell you that the destructive path of this is catasphrophic.

The Simpsons nailed it again.



Donald J. Trump, Mike Pence, Gov. Mike DeWine, Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH), Sen. Rob Portman (R-OH), the 16 U.S. Representatives and local leaders will do the usual thoughts and prayers bullshit, photo-ops with supporters or token minorities, say they will do everything in their power to fix this, and then wait on their fellow lawmakers from other states to engage in passing legislation.

Of course, they'll be one or a handful of far-white Republicans who will delay passing legislation because of some moral high ground bullshit.

Tell you what!

When 2020 comes, we gonna need some lawmakers who will acknowledge climate change. Lawmakers who will pass laws to strengthen the safety net. Lawmakers who will do more than offer thoughts and prayers to tragedies.

So if you live in the area, please have patience. The law and emergency crews are overwhelmed. You have places that offer cooling centers, shelters, Wi-Fi, water and food.

Dayton, Celina, Richmond, IN., Greenville, OH and all regions within the Southwestern Ohio and Southeastern Indiana areas will bounce back.

We got work to do.

You're Lucky You're Kids! I Would Snatch Your Asses Up!

Ohio teens caught N-tapping the sidewalk
Dayton, Ohio spent nearly $1 million to keep the peace. There were a handful of far-white agitators who came to the Rust Belt city to denounce humanity itself.

The Klan actually won the battle. They forced a rust belt city to spent its rainy day funding for extra security, helicopters, barriers, closed businesses, rerouted public transportation and trash pickup.

To make this clear, a handful of Klan versus Dayton mayor Nan Whaley. Who won?

Anyway, this community got attention and it did send a message to the Klan and those who support their views, "Love Wins."

A gas station owner in the town of Barberton outside of Akron saw three white teens scrawling the sidewalk with the NIGGER tag.

The gas station owner decided to run a play on their asses. They were caught off-gaurd.



The Raw Story also reported on this.

Rocky's owner Shaun Jaber of Barberton recorded video of the confrontation and posted it to Facebook, where it quickly went viral.

It’s not the first time the Barberton community has grappled with racism. In 2017, a black man’s SUV was covered in racial slurs.
An Ohio msn's vehicle got N-tapped.
Jaber said no-one should accept this type of destructive behavior and was encouraged by the response he has received.

"A lot of good people saying thank-you," Jaber said.

The principal of the middle school stopped by the store, Jaber said, and he got a thank-you call from the superintendent of the district.

"They're doing a great job in the schools, it's not what the schools are teaching them, it's definitely coming from home," Jaber said.

Jaber went on to say he does not believe he did anything extraordinary, just what he felt was necessary.



What Happened To Edrick Truitt?

Arkansas cop pulls his firearm on an unarmed motorist.
A Black man films an Arkansas police officer pulling his firearm on him. The person was unarmed and he details how trigger happy this cop was. This was in the consolidate communities of Helena-West Helena. The population of the community is 13,000 residents. The community has 65% Black population. The cop was white.

Edrick Truitt was pulled over for alleged reckless driving. As he was pulled over, he was confronted by the cop. The cop told him to turn off his vehicle. Truitt said, "What I do wrong?"



The cop said, "He's got a gun!"

Edrick Truitt blessed to be alive.
The cop immediately proceeds to pull his firearm. Truitt said, "My hands are in the air. My hands are in the air." As Truitt is filming the cop, he dares the cop to "shot me."

He was parked Sunday just after 3am at a closed convenience store. He was waiting to meet up with family before heading home to Jonesboro.

He said he was trying to leave when police cars pulled up, telling everyone to clear the parking lot.

Truitt was blocked in and couldn't move, so he became the focus of the cop's attention.

Truitt seen the videos time and time again where Black men are being shot without prejudice. He didn't want to be a statistic. He filmed the encounter and posted it on social media. It went viral.

Helena-West Helena Police said that the officer's body camera footage is being reviewed. The officer has reportedly received threats following the incident.

Eventually, the officer holsters his sidearm and forcibly removes Truitt from the vehicle.

"He was like, 'That's a failure to comply,' but if I would have complied, I would have got killed," Truitt pointed out to the junk food media.

Although police later found a gun in Truitt’s car, he said it was out of his reach.

"What I did saved my life," Truitt insisted. "That's why I'm here talking to y'all. If not, y'all would be covering a story about how I got shot."

Truitt was arrested and charged with failing to obey a lawful order.

The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. The charges are misdemeanor and could carry months or at least a year in the iron college.

Truitt has hired a lawyer and is demanding the charges are dropped. The cop who pulled him over isn't name as of yet. But I bet you money he's scrubbing social media right now to keep anything that may be perceived as racist off.
