In the wake of a high profile mass shooting in South Carolina, some woman in Texas decided to make some political hay winds.
Thanks to Addicting Info, The Daily Dot and RacistGetFired for the tip.
Ashley Casey Martin claimed that she got jacked up by three assailants of the African decent. She and her daughter were shopping in a Texas Walmart and these disgusting criminals ruined it. Stop the press, here comes that asshat Colin Flaherty.
I bet that clown is running to the junk food media with his "gotcha" movement.
Not so fast, Colin. You've been stopped at the gate.
The junk food media outed your latest victim of "racial violence" and she may have concocted the injuries.
Martin who resides in Texarkana posted on social media that she got jacked up after she got into a confrontation with Black shoppers at a Walmart. According to her, they were cussing up a storm.
She told them to clam up. They got pissed. They gave the woman in a five finger knuckle sandwich.
This extremist may have inspired Charleston terrorist.
“Just got jumped by 3 African Americans ourside (sic) of the as Walmart they are in a white ford 150 extended cab. Arkansas tags. They hit me inside Walmart and were cussing. I was very polite and asked them to lower their voices and the cuss words in front of my 3 year old daughter and this is the outcome. What has the world come to…”
The Daily Dot was first to break this story. They got in contact with the Texarkana police and Walmart to see if any criminal charges were filed against the assailants.
They spoke with a security worker who said no incidents had been reported there within the past week.
The Daily Dot also showed the photos to Texarkana Police Department public information officer Mike Jones, who responded with an emailed statement.
Ashley's response to critics who say she faked her injuries.
“I’ve talked to our detective Sergeant. He has reviewed all of the reports from the weekend and there is no report of this incident,” wrote Jones. “There is also no report in our system from a person with the poster’s name. We are confident is stating that this incident, if it did occur, has not been reported to this department.”
So in other words, did this bitch lie about being attacked by Black men?
A defiant Martin said this clearly:
“Here is your police report. Sorry I got jumped by three African American young men. I have 2 black eyes and nose still is bleeding, and somehow I am in the wrong. Enough for people to say it was makeup, how embarassing and very rude quite frankly. I don’t want you pitty (sic) attention anything. I’m just warning there are dangerous people in Texarkana be careful. They did this to me for no reason in front of my 3 year old. At Texas side Walmart.”
She eventually scrubbed every freaking social media site she has her name attached too.
Ashley, look in the mirror, I think you may seen the danger! It's you!
Some interesting facts.
Texarkana is basically two cities that border Texas and Arkansas. The main road State Line Avenue divides the cities. The federal court building and post office sits on the state line. Texarkana is the midpoint towards the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex and Little Rock through Interstate 30. Once completed Interstate 49 will continue through rural Arkansas and Texas. Portions of the interstate highway are segmented through Louisiana, Arkansas, Texas and Missouri. It will eventually connect from Kansas City to New Orleans. Future Interstate 69 will travel south of the cities and connect from Mexico to Canada.
Note: Walmart has pulled all items related to the Confederate flag from all stores in the United States.
When injustices in America end, I will go home...!
He gained fame by being an active protester in Ferguson. He's appeared in many high profile events in which law enforcement has used deadly force on unarmed suspects. He has appeared in areas where the not-so-subtle racism exist.
And now, DeRay McKesson has went to Charleston, South Carolina to protest the injustices.
Conservatives are pissed. So they went to the social media to create the #GoHomeDeray hashtag.
This hashtag became one of the most talked about on Twitter. Many conservatives have taken to Twitter to denounce McKesson, Rev. Perm and President Barack Obama. They believe that they "rush to judgement" when it came to the mass shooting at Mother Emmanuel AME Church.
The racist right believes that Dylann Roof's racial hatred towards Blacks wasn't a factor. But it's his mental illness, his drug use and his social ills. They believe that racism wasn't a factor to it. They believe its an attack on Christian beliefs.
Nine lives were lost when a White terrorist shot up a church. His social media unearth a trove of hatred. He shows pride in the Confederate flag and talked about the issues. He believes that Blacks are raping White women, causing havoc and taking over government. Rhetoric you may hear from agitators on talk radio, cable news and the blogs.
McKesson comes to Charleston to show solidarity with the victims. But to the racist right, he's there to start trouble. According to the social media trolls, the people of Charleston doesn't want him or Obama there.
Cue the irony. This is discussed by liberals and conservatives alike. Notice that McKesson did acknowledge this. He brushed off the criticism and told the junk food media that it's a part of a systematic strategy to shut down dissent.
DeRay took to Twitter and responded back to his critics.
It's about time for me to put an end to my social media fixation. I am taking a long break from Facebook.
It's time to end my reign on the world's most popular social media website.
I am not canceling my account for now. But I will eventually. I am getting tired of viewing everyone and anyone. I admit that I am jealous. I am jealous of everyone and everything.
I wanted to be with the "IT" crowd. I wanted to be "friends" with anyone and anybody!
My family, friends, ex-girlfriends, co-workers, and even my boss were friends on Facebook. I kept in touch with them through birthdays, anniversaries, new children, deaths and celebrations. I've posted on their walls about my life and how I'm doing! The more friends I've gotten, the better I felt. It's was one of the greatest feelings to be wanted.
Then I realized that I wasn't moving as fast as my friends and family. They're celebrating weddings, births, and new achievements. I haven't experienced any in the past four years. So I seen myself at a peak of jealous and depression.
Longing for the days of success, I seen myself as a failure!
Facebook can cause couples to break up.
The whole situation with that woman Jessica has finally woke me up to the ugly reality of life.
I am angry with myself over this. I put so much into a huge waste of time. I felt that looking at others being happy kind of makes me sad. So I don't want to be sad. I will admit this. This social media can make me jealous.
So therefore, I am on a hiatus.
I want to thank my friends, family, co-workers and formers. I wish them well.
I am taking a long (and I mean long) break from Facebook.
I am too damn nice and willing to accept or take anything. I am not mad at her for lying and deceiving me during our time, I am too embarrassed to the tell someone how I feel about it.
I don't want to share my business with everyone on social media anymore.
Maybe here on this blog. But I have to generate enough people to view it.
Anyway, I have posted some time ago about the Facebook decline. The social media titian has over 1.4 billion subscribers.
The social network was founded by four Harvard students who wanted to keep in touch with classmates at the prestigious university. Who would of thought that this little experiment would become the world's most popular way to connect to people.
Now it's over 10 years and the social media website is still reigning on top. But it's on the downslide. Predicted in less than 5 years, the social media website will lose over 80% of active users.
Are you addicted to Facebook?
Do you get jealous of people when they share their relationships, new achievements and successes?

You won't believe it! These are two cops with a suspect. The suspect is wearing antlers.
Spreading racist emails, taking inappropriate pictures, doing unprofessional things on social media all the while wearing the badge is not an coincidence. It's a matter of common practice.
Will that annoying conservative agitator talk about this on his right wing carnival?
Nope. It doesn't fit the narrative to blame President Barack Obama. The president is passionately talking about the case for unity among the police and the communities they serve.
Psst...Obama's Black.
The president can testify to it. He was profiled by the police when he was a nobody. And for him to talk about the disparaging interactions between the Black community and the law, the conservatives claim it's anti-cop and racist.
This picture is of two former Chicago cops posing with a suspect. They decided wanted to share a funny picture with fellow officers. They decided to put antlers on the suspect and pose as two Elmer Fudds.
Real laugh riot.
The Chicago Sun-Times report that ex-cops Jerome Finnigan and Timothy McDermott were fired out the cannon after they were posing with this unidentified drug suspect.
Finnigan had already been fired out the cannon: In 2011, he was sentenced to 12 years in prison for leading a team of cops in robberies and home invasions. This may have inspired Chicago PD on NBC.
McDermott is fighting to wear the badge. He got a 5-4 decision in his cannon firing. The minority believe that it was a funny picture. The majority believe it's time to clean up the force.
This makes Chicago PD look like a bunch of idiots. Terrible.
Even in my community an idiot sheriff's deputy got his online fixation. He was on Twitter and had shared some inappropriate thoughts of the Baltimore riots in the wake of Freddie Gray's death.
Clark County Ohio sheriff Gene Kelly said that this deputy is fired out the cannon.
Zach Davis got fired out the cannon.
Ex-deputy Zach Davis was caught online posting his thoughts on the rioting in Baltimore.
Davis said that the Baltimore riots were a "real life Planet of the Apes". And to make it worse, he said that rioters are “ignorant young people” who deserve “every stereotype they've ever been labeled.”
When confronted with his post, Davis confessed and was immediately fired out the cannon.
Kelly said that Davis "did not believe he was racist" for publishing such comments.
The letter sent to the sheriff's office expressed concerns over the "insensitivity, hostility, and maliciousness" reflected in the tweets, and stated that such derogatory statements are unacceptable under any circumstances but especially troubling coming from a deputy who "holds the power of the state."
"Davis’s tweets are offensive, inappropriate, and inhumane for the way they treat the black citizens of Baltimore, striping them of their humanity and rendering them 'apes' who should be 'slayed' to be taught a lesson," the letter reads.
Davis joined the force in April. Kelly said he has met with the local NAACP president, who supports his decision.
"I’ve done everything I can do to try and correct this problem," Kelly said. "It hurts us and this community and there’s no place for it."
Now all deputies in Clark County will have to go through sensitivity training. They will now be forced to limit their social media connections and associations.
The power of Facebook and Twitter. Whenever you post something online, it's there forever.
Understand no one is safe from being fired out the cannon. But if you take steps to prevent your business from being out there, make it private and don't jeopardize your job by talking about it.
If you Google, Obama, what would you find? I can tell you many offensive themes.
Google, Apple, Facebook and Twitter are disputing with the White House over its internet policies. I guess someone over at Google, the sponsor of this blog got pissed and GOOGLE bombed the Maps.
If you Google, NIGGER and HOUSE on the Maps, it directs you to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington, DC.
The first Black president lives there.
If you Google, NIGGER and KING on the Maps, it directs you to President Barack Obama's residence in Chicago or Washington, DC.
The Guardian screenshot the map.
Google had to fire some people out the cannon and restrict some of its user added features.
Google apologized for it. This isn't the first or the last. Last time, the images of the Obamas were tagged to primates. The other time was a website using a photo shopped image of a gorilla having sex with First Lady Michelle Obama. And recently, the Android mascot was urinating on an Apple logo.
Hey, Google!
Do something about Chrome too! I am tired of getting them Shockwave Flash "not responding" error messages. Matter of fact, I am tired of YouTube videos with too many god damn ads on them. And I am not a fan of the new Maps.
I am kind of bitter because Google suspended my ad venue account because of racist agitators messing with my YouTube account.
Stupidity on the tech front coming your way out of Mountain View.
It seems like the curtain is pulled over again. President Barack Obama jumps onto Twitter. So all that coming from the official Barack Obama Twitter and Facebook accounts were done by his staffers.
Even the signed by "B.O." It was done by staffers.
So who thought he had the time to jump onto Twitter?
The Secret Service clears the way for the president to create an account. Of course, he introduces himself to the Twitter world.
Hello, Twitter! It's Barack. Really! Six years in, they're finally giving me my own account.
I mean when he has he ever been able to promoting himself?
Who was sending those mailers, email shouts and videos? I thought it was done by him.
Do you actually believe that?
Barack Obama, 44th President of the United States is a very busy guy. I mean he running a country of 322 million people. He controls the nation's military. He is the leader of the free world. He had to be a father 24/7, a husband, a man who has to promote a vision for the country.
Despite his critics attacking him constantly over the most trivial things, Barack manages to brush off the noise and keep it moving forward.
He signs legislation into law. Why would I believe that he jumps onto Twitter and post "I am eating cereal and watching Sportscenter" on the social media?
He doesn't get enough time to jump onto the social media. With all the things going on. I mean the president works 24/7 and doesn't really get a break.
So what did the president do when he was on Twitter?
He tells the public that he made an executive order on police requesting military style weaponry.
The president believes that the police using military arsenal gives communities a sense of distrust towards them.
He traveled to Camden, NJ to talk about the need for police reform, transportation reform (in wake of neighboring Philadelphia and the tragic train crash) and empowerment.
Soon we will address the racist and threaten messages sent to the president.
"They just shot that motherfucking man right here....[Yeah], I'm going record this shit", says the person using his camera phone.
"Take a good look it's the Black motherfucking [cop] that killed this man....." said the person filming in the final minutes.
The social media and the price of fame. The filmmaker wanted to post this on the internet. Instead of holding evidence in the case of a trial, he clearly advocated the officer's side of the story. See reactionary brings nothing but trouble. Now this filmmaker will be harassed or subject to death threats.
The negative publicity. The Los Angeles Police Department is just like New York. With the power comes the respect. They are well respected by a majority. But the minority, ahem, hates the LAPD.
The LAPD has a controversial history. There's been many officer involved incidents where suspects of color were injured or killed. The controversial tactics used in an arrest are often mirrored in legal action.
All the mixture of tension brought to you by the folks who post on YouTube.
As reported, an officer has the legal right to lie in order to justify a traffic citation, an arrest, and a shooting.
The suspect is dead and the LAPD is doing damage control.
Today, I just saw this video that is extremely disturbing. The LAPD was apprehending two individuals and I guess after a brief confrontation, one of the many LAPD officers opened fired on the suspect.
According to the LAPD, the suspect was reaching for the arresting officer's gun. There were minor injuries for the two arresting officers. The Los Angeles Times reports that Cmdr. Andrew Smith said officers assigned to the LAPD's Central Division and Safer Cities Initiative — a task force focused on skid row — responded to the location about noon Sunday after receiving a 911 call reporting a possible robbery.
The possible robbery ended with a man being shot and a woman being arrested.
The LAPD doing damage control after a filmmaker records them opening fire on an unarmed suspect.
Did they obtain evidence of the suspect robbing someone of property?
The deceased is apparently homeless
What did the woman do?
The woman seen in the video recording picking up an officer's baton was detained and is expected to be arrested, Smith said. She had not been booked as of 9 p.m. Sunday, and it was unclear what charges she would face, but Smith said the arrest would stem from her picking up the baton.
Smith said that, based on the video recording, it was unclear what the officers told the man before they fired. He said investigators would use audio enhancement software to determine what exactly was said and when.
"Of course we're aware of the video," he said. "Any video that shows someone losing their life in an altercation with police is going to be disturbing. It's disturbing for police officers to watch."
Disturbing!
Hell, the police are pissed that a man filmed the officer killing an unarmed suspect. The person named Anthony Blackburn posted it on the social media. It's graphic so you will have to click on the link posted right below.
If there weren't people so frustrated with the police in the wake of high profile shootings such as the Michael Brown, Tamir Rice, John Crawford and Akai Gurley controversies, you wouldn't see camera phones being used.
And to make this clear, you are allowed to film police. They may try to "justify" an arrest by saying you're impeding on an arresting officer or disorderly conduct. You can lawyer up and tell the judge that you had a right to film public servants while on duty.
YOU HAVE A RIGHT TO FILM THE POLICE!
I think some in the LAPD will be humming "mean ol' Mike Brown". There will be some who probably high-five each other when they kill a suspect they accused of threatening the life of an officer.
The LAPD will place the shooting officer on administrative leave. The officer will contact his union boss, an attorney and a therapist. He will say that "that guy reached for his gun!"
LAPD stand in pose trying to keep the peace.
Remember an arresting officer can "stretch" the truth when writing a statement on the situation.
Evidence technicians and other officers will wrap the police tape over areas and other officers may "step" on evidence.
"It's always tragic when there's a loss of life in one of these situations," Smith continued. "It's not an incident taken lightly by any police officer. But we are committed to everyone involved and to the public to conduct a thorough and complete investigation."
Smith said investigators were looking for any other video that captured the incident, including footage from the body cameras some of the officers may have been wearing. Officers assigned to the Safer Cities Initiative were part of the LAPD's pilot program for the new technology and are equipped with the devices.
At least one officer involved in the incident was wearing a body camera, Smith said.
Well let's hope those body cameras were in use when this event happened. Maybe a camera worn by the arresting or assisting officer could provide a better look into how this shooting was justified.
The dramatic confrontation was caught on video, which was later posted on Facebook (the video contains foul language). It shows a group of officers getting into a scuffle with a man standing on a sidewalk littered with tents and other debris.
The man continues to scuffle with four of the officers, even after he's wrestled to the ground. What appears to be one of the officers is heard saying "Drop the gun. Drop the gun."
Then, at least one of the officers opens fire on the man, who remained on the ground with at least two officers near him.
Five gunshots are heard on the recording.
Police have not identified the dead man or said how many officers were involved, or how many shots were fired. The man was declared dead at a hospital shortly after the shooting, which occurred about noon, according to police spokesman Sgt. Barry Montgomery.
He said that at one point during the struggle a Taser had been deployed, but investigators did not know if it was used on the man who was subsequently shot.
Witnesses at the scene identified the victim by his street name, “Africa”, and gave conflicting accounts of what they saw.
Dennis Horne, 29, said Africa had been fighting with someone else in his tent when police arrived.
When Africa refused to comply with a police order to come out of the tent, officers used the Taser on him and dragged him out, Horne said. The officers tackled Africa to the ground, where he continued to fight, which led to the fatal shooting, according to Horne.
“It's sad,” Horne said. “There's no justification to take somebody's life.”
Another witness, Lonnie Franklin, 53, said five to six officers pulled up in three to four cars as Africa was lying face down on the sidewalk. The officers approached with guns drawn yelling, ”Down, down,” according to Franklin.
When Africa got up and started fighting, the officers “went straight to lethal force,” Franklin said.
But Jose Gil, 38 , said he saw the man swinging at the police and then heard one of the officers say, “Gun, gun, he's got my gun!” before police fired multiple shots.
Another witness, who asked not to be identified, said the man punched and kicked the officers and reached for one of their service weapons before the officers fired at least seven times.
An area resident, who identified himself as Booker T. Washington, said police had come by repeatedly to ask Africa to take down his tent. People are allowed to sleep on the streets from 9 p.m to 6 a.m., but they are supposed to remove their tents in the daytime under a court agreement.
“This man got shot over a tent,” Washington said.
Ina Murphy, who lives in an apartment nearby, said Africa had arrived in the area about four or five months ago. He told her he had recently been released after spending 10 years in a mental facility, Murphy said.
Police Commission President Steve Soboroff first saw the video of the shooting via social media. He was watching it again when reached by a Times reporter Sunday evening, trying to hear what exactly the officers had said to the man.
"My heart just started pounding just watching it," Soboroff said. "I feel the adrenaline. These situations are just so horrific."
He stressed that the LAPD, the independent inspector general and the district attorney's office would all investigate the shooting "very, very carefully."
"Of course I would encourage people not to rush to judgment. It's not fair to anybody. It's not fair to the family of the victim or the victim or the officers," he said. "We'll find out what happened."
Montgomery said Sunday evening that investigators were in the process of interviewing "loads of people" who were in the area at the time of the shooting. He said there would potentially be more video recordings of the incident, noting that he could see two surveillance cameras mounted on buildings at the scene.
It was still unclear how many officers fired their weapons or what was said to the man before he was shot, Montgomery said.
The LA Times noted the words rush to judgement.
This is what that annoying conservative agitator does.
Say if this event makes it to the cable news agitators.
Some agitator will find some reason to agitate it. He is the prime agitator of an event that involves race. Most would find it in Rev. Perm, but seriously that annoying conservative agitator is a defender of "white rights". He is often the guy who likes to side with the officer (or vigilante) because Black leaders or President Barack Obama address concerns.
Melissa Harris-Perry, Anderson Cooper, Don Lemon, Tom Joyner, Rev. Perm, that annoying conservative agitator, Crazy-ass Alex Jones, O'Loofus, the Craigslist of conservative agitation, Tavis Smiley and Breitfart are the agitators. They often exploit these controversies for ratings or click bait.
Who are you going to believe the officer or the dead suspect?
"The heavens are crying right now," said General Jeff Page, known around skid row as the "mayor" of the poverty-stricken neighborhood, as rains poured on the crowd gathered around him. He went over the events of the day that led to the fatal shooting of Africa, whom Page called "one of our loved ones."
In the crowd was Yannick Babou, 34, a street vendor who works in skid row. Babou said he came out to show his frustration and anger with law enforcement.
"I'm not anti-police. I think we need police in society," Babou said. "But I think we need to hold police accountable when they do something wrong."
We here at Journal de la Reyna send our condolences to "Africa", the unarmed man killed by police.
I've taken a break from Facebook. I am not ashamed or worried about people "dropping me".
The past month has been miserable. I've been coping with a lot of things. Some are self-inflicted and others are just consequences of my naive trust for users and abusers.
I am tired of looking at Facebook. All that crap from my "friends" and family, has gotten out of hand. I am tired of looking at their walls or updates.
I've told the good readers of Journal de la Reyna in 2013, that Facebook is destined for a downfall.
It's a matter of time before you will log out and find the next social media sensation.
I mean c'mon. Seriously, how many friends do you really know online?
I know "thousands" of people. But I am close to only one person. ME!
I am reclusive and often times a social outcast. I don't hide my feelings towards certain people and feel that being the dreaded "nice guy" spurns me with nothing but failure and resent towards others.
I've been hurt too many times by people and some of the women I've dated. I've kicked my best friends to the curb. They were useless.
I will continue to associate with people but at a close distance.
Yeah, the social media is getting boring. I spend way too much time online. I got to find ways to break myself of the social media obsession. The social media includes the video streaming, the online dating and blogs.
I am a part of the social media. Me and S. Baldwin have done it for years. I don't think I'll stop blogging online. But maybe I will keep my social media intake to a low.
Stay focus to Journal de la Reyna and help push us into the mainstream.
So I'll post occasionally on Facebook. I will "like" some of my friends postings.
I will tweet some things online. I mean Twitter isn't one of the most frequent places I go to.
I will share a photo or two on Instagram. But I am going to stop following Snoop Dogg. He's posting so much stuff, it's kind of annoying at times. And I am a big fan of the hip-hop icon....
I will cautiously respond to some request on POF, OKCupid, Badoo, and Tinder. Not every woman is truthful on their profiles. About a majority of these profiles are fake. The online dating websites are trying their best to make money off the lonely and desperate. They'll bait you and rope you into a monthly subscription and you'll still be single looking for love.
"I am not a second choice..." to quote my lovely friend name Jordan.
Now back to the subject matter here. Facebook becomes the center of controversy. A group of teens were threatening each other online and wanted to make this brawl into a viral sensation. It didn't go out like they've planned.
Kierra'onna Rice. The price of fame kills this teen.
The victims brought their fists. The suspect brought a gun. And some paid the price for fame.
In Birmingham, Kierra'onna Rice paid the price. The Alabama teen was accompanied with a bunch of ignorant teens. They were witnessing the fight in a park. They wanted to film it but it quickly turned awry when
This feud started with a fight three weeks ago that ended with Rice and several other girls agreeing to meet in a local park for a physical fight. They tipped off others through Facebook to meet up and wanted to settle business.
"Fights on the street are not fair and are extremely unpredictable," he said. "You're agreeing to accepting the harm that may take place to you and others."
Two male suspects began shooting soon after the girls arrived at the park.
"They took it upon themselves to fire recklessly into a crowd," he said.
According to Edwards, there is nothing so far to indicate that the shooting was planned.
Two suspects ages 17 and 19 have been arrested and were identified by witnesses as the shooters. Police will release their names once formal charges have been filed.
Rice is the second 14-year-old homicide victim in Birmingham in the last few weeks.
Edwards said that police are seeing a connection between teenagers and guns, causing "big concerns" among officers.
"We're starting to see a lot of teens armed and extremely dangerous," he said. "We are starting to see them become more violent. They're using guns to solve their issues.
We here at Journal de la Reyna send our condolences to the family of Kierra'onna Rice.
These two dummies didn't think the owner would activate the Find My iPad function. That function will track the iPad, iPod, and iPhone whenever its activated through a wifi network.
A thief who never owned a iPhone or an iPad never expected Apple to update their products to assist in helping owners to retrieve their lost properties.
Houston men are in the Harris County lockup after the owner found their selfie pictures on his iCloud server. The thieves broke into the man's vehicle and took over $5000, the iPad and laptop.
These two dummies didn't expect the pictures turn up on the viral social networks.
They head to a nearby Burger King and activate the iPad. They would make a video called "Burger King Ballin'" while holding a bundle of cash. One of the thieves posted on the social network that, “This, my good people, is what we get from a good night’s hustle.”
They would post on their social networks unaware that their picture and video would automatically transfer to the iCloud.
When the owner went to trace his iPad, he saw the pictures of the two. So instead of just shaking his fist and throwing a tantrum. He decided to publicly shame these guys.
He took to the Reddit, a viral agitator. The agitator ranks up the most controversial or topic worthy posts. Then of course, the junk food media would eventually jump into the fray. It would take a few days before they would be spotted by their friends.
It's nothing new. We're human beings. We all make mistakes.
I'm guilty of this too. Most Americans leave their doors unlocked. The opportunity for theft increases when owners fail to lock their vehicles.
Schaefer left his vehicle unlocked and had a backpack in the backseat. He didn't expect during the day someone would go after his properties.
When someone steals from you, it makes you feel like you've been punched in the gut. They violate your space, your property and your freedom. They create the cycle of theft. Somewhere down the road, the victim could become the criminal. Or the victim may become the vigilante. Or the victim would buy a gun and eventually let the slugs fly.
Dorian Walker-Gaines, 20, and Dillian Thompson, 22 were busted a few days later. Seeing that they've stolen over $5,000 including properties, these two will be getting a minimum of five in the iron college if they're found guilty on these charges. The most I bet you is at least 15 in the iron college.
Already the racist right has gotten their NIGGER fixation.
Stewart Schaefer the victim, left the car unlocked in front of his home earlier this month.
You expect the word vomit to include Michael Brown, Trayvon Martin, monkeys, coons and Obama references in.
While the president pardons turkeys Mac and Cheese, a Republican staffer bitches about the attire Malia and Sasha wore.
When Republicans and conservatives gloat!
A Republican staffer fired herself out the cannon after she was trading some not so nice comments about President Barack Obama's daughters. Last week, the staffer was bitching about the president pardoning two turkeys. The pardoning of turkeys is a common tradition for presidents when they want to honor Americans during the Thanksgiving weekend.
Elizabeth Lauten was the director of communications for Congressman Stephen Fincher (R-TN).
This white turkey went to the social networks to vent off about the attire that Malia and Sasha wore while they were in the presence of the media. This turkey had the nerve to say that these "girls need to show class". Of course digging at the president and First Lady Michelle Obama while on the rant.
White turkey heated up on the social media.
The president's daughters are growing up. They're becoming beautiful teenagers. Unfortunately, Republicans don't see that. They see them as free loading NIGGERS. They hate the president and First Lady Michelle Obama so much, even a secrete tradition to avoid criticizing first children under 18 years old falls flat among the Republicans and even the Democrats.
She saw the junk food media react to this. So she would make a media sanctioned apology.
"I reacted to an article and quickly judged the two young ladies in a way that I would never have wanted to be judged myself as a teenager," Lauten wrote. "After many hours of prayer, talking to my parents and re-reading my words online, I can see more clearly how hurtful my words were. Please know that these judgmental feelings truly have no place in my heart."
Yeah, it took hours! You remember that you work for a federal worker. That Republican lawmaker is now forced to apologize to the president for your behavior. Congressman Stephen Fincher (R-TN) would had rather this staffer aimed at the president, not the family.
Lauten's apology came after many on Twitter and Facebook accused her of cyberbullying the Obama daughters. Lauten acknowledged those who were angered by her statements in her apology.
This turkey from Newsbusters defends GOP staffer's offensive comments.
"Furthermore, I'd like to apologize to all of those who I have hurt and offended with my words, and pledge to learn and grow (and I assure you I have) from this experience."
You know that as a member of federal government, you know that your actions are monitored by the media attack dogs such as Media Matters for America, Newsbusters, and Buzzfeed.
If you step on the landmine of improper (i.e. racist, undignified, and malicious) behavior on the social networks, expect this. Expect this to cost your job, a potential for death threats, and the shaming of Americans who believe you're a racist.
Crawl into the oven Elizabeth Lauten. You're being served with stuffing!
Hey, Newsbusters is defending this turkey. Okay so if someone who works for the federal government embarrass her employer, everyone is a LEFIST. Okay?
So I guess Melissa Mullins needs a lesson in social media and her employer. After all, her boss is a plagiarizing right wing fundamentalist who criticized the very things those so-called LEFISTS are complaining about! He was sacked from many newspapers for his outrageous behavior.
Darrien Hunt was killed by the law. Questions are raised to how a man lunged at the cops when he was shot in the back.
A man walking with a novelty samurai sword was killed by the law in Utah. A major controversy is building up. Me and S. Baldwin are now covering the ongoing situation.
Okay there's tension growing in the city of Saratoga Springs. If you're not familiar with the city, you'll be informed about it. The city's mayor was a Black woman. Mia Love is a growing figure in the Black Republican movement.
She was a Black insurgent nominee who is running again for the seat by now retiring Democratic politico Jim Matheson.
She is one of the very few Black people living in a city of 24,000.
There's a young man who was killed last week and the junk food media is starting to pick up on it.
Darrien Hunt of Saratoga Springs was walking with a samurai sword he used as a showpiece weapon.
Someone tipped the law off and the immediately reacted to the situation. While everything is kind of sketchy, the law claims that he lunged the sword at them.
So somehow he was turning his back and all of sudden six shots goes into him?
The Guardian reports that Utah authorities have altered their account of how a 22-year-old black man was killed by police, after an attorney for the man’s family alleged that he was shot repeatedly from behind by officers while running away.
The authorities also said that the two police officers involved in the shooting of Darrien Hunt last Wednesday had not yet been interviewed about the incident. The attorney for Hunt’s family described this delay as “almost incomprehensible”.
Hunt died outside a Panda Express restaurant at a strip mall in Saratoga Springs on Wednesday morning following an encounter with two police officers who were responding to a 911 call reporting a man with a samurai-style sword acting suspiciously.
A witness photographs the encounter. Soon after she turns her back, gunfire.
After several days of silence Tim Taylor, the chief deputy attorney for Utah county, said in a statement on Saturday: “When the officers made contact with Mr Hunt, he brandished the sword and lunged toward the officers with the sword, at which time Mr Hunt was shot.”
Hunt’s death follows the high-profile fatal shootings by police in August of Michael Brown, an unarmed black 18-year-old in Ferguson, Missouri, and John Crawford III, a 22-year-old black father of two who was carrying a BB rifle through a Walmart in Beavercreek, Ohio.
Hunt’s mother, Susan, who is white, accused the police of killing the 22-year-old due to his race. The population of Saratoga Springs is about 93% white and 0.5% black, according to the 2010 census.
“They killed my son because he’s black. No white boy with a little sword would they shoot while he’s running away,” Mrs Hunt told the Deseret News. Taylor said there was “no indication that race played any role”. Hunt’s family have not been able to explain why he was carrying the sword, which they called a souvenir from a gift shop.
The new account confirmed by Taylor on Monday appears to potentially match with remarks made by a witness to local media shortly after the shooting.
Jocelyn Hansen, who was filling her car at a gas station opposite the bank, has said that seconds beforehand she saw Hunt and the officers in conversation. She said that after taking a photograph of the scene, which showed Hunt smiling and with his hands at his sides, she got into her car in order to leave and then heard gunfire.
“I looked up. There were shots and there was a chase,” she told ABC 4 Utah. “He turned and was running away from the police officers,” Hansen added. She could not be reached on Monday.
The altered official account also follows an angry response by the Saratoga Springs police department to media reports of claims that Hunt may have been shot while running away.
“Everyone should remember that the news outlets have ratings they need to gain. They don’t report facts. They use innuendo, opinion and rumor and then report it as fact,” said the unsigned statement, which was published on the department’s Facebook page but has since been removed.
“The real facts are being determined by an independent investigation, and not in a rushed or haphazard manner,” it went on. “When those facts are gathered and analyzed they will be reviewed by independent legal authorities.”
He was not a criminal says his grief stricken mother,
The two officers involved in the incident have not been identified by Saratoga Springs police department. They have been placed on paid administrative leave. An investigation is being carried out by the county’s “officer-involved shooting protocol team”, which includes officers from several different forces and agencies, according to Taylor, who said the county attorney’s office would “review these findings and issue a statement”.
“We haven’t even interviewed the officers yet,” said Taylor. “We’ve talked briefly with them just to kind of get an idea of what the scene was at the time.” He said officers were typically interviewed within 48-72 hours of a shooting. One is now scheduled to be interviewed on Tuesday and the other on Thursday, more than a week after the shooting, he said.
“I’m stunned. I find that almost incomprehensible,” Edwards, the attorney for Hunt’s family, said after being informed of this by the Guardian. “You want to speak with the officers almost immediately afterwards, when their memories are fresh and before they have had a chance to corroborate their stories.”
Taylor said the county attorney’s report would not be complete until his office received the findings of an autopsy that had completed by a state medical examiner’s office in Salt Lake county. He said that he expected this to take between six and seven weeks.
Edwards, the attorney for the family, said it was not clear whether the inquiry would be satisfactory. “Do we trust the police to do a thorough investigation to find any kind of wrongdoing, and to ultimately punish the wrongdoer? I think the jury is still out on this one.”
The attorney said he and the Hunt family would wait until the report before deciding their next move. “If it appears that there was some sort of criminal activity on the part of the officer, obviously we would like to have that followed through with,” he said.
A media representative for the Saratoga Springs law went to the social media to vent off.
Everyone should remember that the news outlets have ratings they need to gain. They don’t report facts. They use innuendo, opinion and rumor and then report it as fact. The same thing happens here on FB and other social media. The real facts are being determined by an independent investigation, and not in a rushed or haphazard manner. When those facts are gathered and analyzed, they will be reviewed by independent legal authorities. There is no cover up and there is no corruption. While this process is played out, we ask all persons to have patience with the process and allow the process that has been legally established to go forth. No one has been charged with any crime. The law has established that there must be probable cause for charges to be filed. Then even when and if charges were filed, in this country, all persons are innocent until proven guilty. This protection is extended to all persons, including cops.
That immediately got some flack. That post assured a meme (i.e. racist right talking point).
Now we have another officer involved shooting in which a person of color was brutally shot.
What will the racist right say about this one? Will they claim he's a druggie?
Will the social networking pictures show that he's prone to violence?
That's how they look at things.
We here at Journal de la Reyna send our condolences to the family of Darrien Hunt.
Experiment goes wrong. Love website OKCupid angers supporters with its social test.
Online dating is kind of like high school. It's nothing but drama. Even though you may never have met the partner, that person probably knows a person that knows you.
You may have worked with this person. You may have seen this person once in your life. You may have never seen this person whether at school, a social gathering, or even online. However, you joining a social networking website that offers you a chance to date a partner.
I am single. I work two jobs. I am not looking for a relationship (for now). I am only looking for dating and hanging out. I am willing to date any woman. I am into girly girls. I am not into tomboys or obsessive phone/text messaging types. I don't normally be on the phone and I tend to be a reclusive person at times.
I keep a very small circle of friends and acquaintances. Nothing personal, but once you have a weakness, you let your guard down, everyone comes after it. Then of course, the high school mentality kicks in.
He said and she said. That's not the "real" you. Or my personal favorite, you're a nice person, but I just think of us as "friends" and nothing serious.
Been there, done that.
Interracial marriage is on the rise.
Now I have a profiles for Facebook, Blackplanet, POF (Plenty of Fish), Badoo, AYI (Are You Interested), Tagged, and OKCupid. Each opportunity a woman would see my profile and find interest in me.
OKCupid is one of the country's most popular social networking website for relationships. It's free to sign up but if you want stronger access you have to shelve out some dollars.
OKCupid gotten into some trouble this month. To finish out the month, here's a heartbreaker.
The New York Times reports that the users of OKCupid, one of the web’s most popular dating sites, that provide a window into how the company chase romantic partners in the digital age.
At the same time, the results offer yet another example of how websites like OKCupid are sometimes used as social science laboratories — often without telling their subjects.
In June, Facebook disclosed that it had tested to see if emotions were contagious, deliberately manipulating the emotional content of the news feeds for 700,000 people. After the disclosure led to an uproar by users, privacy regulators in Europe began looking into whether the social network had broken any local laws.
Despite the bad publicity faced by Facebook, OKCupid on Monday published results of three experiments it recently conducted on users. In one test, it obscured profile pictures. In another, the site hid profile text to see how it affected personality ratings. And in a third, it told some hopeful daters that they were a better or worse potential match with someone than the company’s software actually determined.
“If you use the Internet, you’re the subject of hundreds of experiments at any given time, on every site,” Christian Rudder, president of OKCupid, wrote on the company’s blog. “That’s how websites work.”
LGBT couples were pleased that the OKCupid CEO put a ban on Firefox. The Firefox co-founder supported California's Proposition 8 ban.
The research found that if an OKCupid user was told that another user had a high compatibility score instead of a low one — the numbers are based on a mathematical formula created by the company — the user was slightly more likely to reach out with a message. Those who believed they were corresponding with a good match were almost twice as likely to send at least four messages compared with people who were told they were a low match.
The test also illustrates how easy it is for a website to manipulate users without their knowing. The small number of users who received changed compatibility scores, some to 90 percent from 30 percent, were not told about the change before the experiment began. After the test ended, OKCupid sent emails revealing the true compatibility scores.
“I understand that that experimentation is part of the process,” said Zaz Harris, 37, a user of the site from Redwood City, Calif. “But I do think that experiment is a lot more invasive than the others because it could affect outcomes in a meaningful way.”
Love is not an experiment.
She added: “I would probably never see someone that the site said was a 30 percent match when we were actually 90 percent, so that is not cool, really.”
Ms. Harris said, however, that her expectations for online dating were low regardless of percentages displayed. If the experiment was short-lived and produced better matchmaking, she said, “It’s not that big a deal.”
OKCupid’s user agreement says that when a person signs up for the site, personal data may be used in research and analysis.
“We told users something that wasn’t true. I’m definitely not hiding from that fact,” said Mr. Rudder, OKCupid’s president. But he said the tests were done to determine how people can get the most from the site. “People come to us because they want the website to work, and we want the website to work.”
The New York Times added that in the other two experiments described on Monday, OKCupid said users were more likely to equate “looks” with “personality,” even in profiles that featured attractive photos and little if any substantive profile information.
And, it said, when the site obscured all profile photos one day, users engaged in more meaningful conversations, exchanged more contact details and responded to first messages more often. They got to know each other. But when pictures were reintroduced on the site, many of those conversations stopped cold.
“It was like we’d turned on the bright lights at the bar at midnight,” Mr. Rudder wrote.
But while appearance matters as a rule, there seem to be exceptions. When people went on truly blind dates that they set up using a companion app with no photos, their enjoyment of the dates was less influenced by looks.
In other words, maybe love can be blind, if you let it be.
Like with Facebook, the internet is a tool to connecting with people. But it's also a tool to driving wedges between families and friends. It's a damn shame that our social networks would disrespect our privacy.
Sometimes I have to laugh at how desperate people are for attention. I mean I find it totally offensive but it's cute as a button.
Figuratively speaking, it has the potential of reaching one of those racist shitholes.
So I don't understand why the customer didn't complain to the manager. Instead of trying to make a viral sensation, they could have explain their disgust of this shirt to the sales representative.
And to make it this clear: This photo now is LIKELY on some conservative or white extremist blog.
Just Add A Kid faced some harsh criticism over a customer's social network post. On a clothes hanger lies the face of a black child and the white t-shirt with the body of a monkey.
The junk food media is now reporting on this stuff.
So much that Newsone and The New York Daily News has to cover this. The T-shirt line runs the gamut, with bold character body designs that appeal mostly to little ones, such as princesses, animals, astronauts, cowboys, and surfers to name just a few. Reportedly, a vendor decides on which kid-faced hanger to pair with the tees and the ethnicities are reportedly varied.
A photo of the racially charged tees was uploaded on to Facebook, raising the ire of the public. Now the San Diego-based clothing manufacturer, owned by the Thanks a Million firm, has responded to the controversy by stating, the furor is just “a total misunderstanding.”
“We are looking in to all the situations that occurred around this little incident,” contends the company co-creator Lowell Cohen, who spoke to the Daily News via phone. “We’re looking at the vendor, we’re speaking to our employees.”
In a communication that was later sent to the Daily News and posted on the company’s Facebook page, Just Add A Kid acknowledged the pairings were “not authorized, condoned, or tolerated” by the company:
“The head shots on our hangers are intended [to] reflect the different cultures of our happy customers, and are distributed separately to our shirts. In this particular case, one of our retailers paired a particular hanger with a shirt without consideration for how it may appear to many consumers. We are taking steps to prevent this from happening again,” according to the company’s statement.
When the 2014 - 2015 United States television broadcast schedule comes forth you'll start noticing that the Saturday morning programming will be missing a theme of theirs. They will be no cartoons on all the broadcast networks.
As of October, the CW Network will no longer carry the Vortexx cartoon block. They will team up with the Litton Entertainment to run a 5 hour block of reality television for teens and families.
This ends an era of television.
Since the 1960s Saturday morning cartoon blocks were a part of the young child's experience with fantasy and a sense of entertainment. Now these very same children became adults who believe their children or grandchildren are either too fat or too exposed to the negative effects of those very cartoons they've grown up on.
Now if you're a family who can't afford the 3,000 cable channels, your family will wake up to hour blocks of local or national news programs, paid programs and the Litton programs. If you're like me, you just sleep through the mornings and hopefully wake up in the afternoon.
Cause nowadays television programs really suck. They really let the ball drop on television. So instead of paying the millions of dollars for a full season of a television program, they'll purchase the Litton programming to at least meet that quota. Litton Entertainment follows the E/I mandates. So it's likely an educational program at best.
It offers programs that are considered instructional. Basically you're in school on Saturday with those boring blocks of reality television or news programs.
Time to go outside, if it's safe. But nowadays you don't know if Petey Pervert is lurking in your neighborhood. You might even meet Mr. NRA or Lil' Thug when you head outside.
ABC was the first to go forth with reality based Saturday morning programs. Then came Fox, CBS and now the CW. NBC already cancelled their children's program blocks more than once. So it wouldn't matter what they put on.
Don't worry Nickelodeon, The Disney Channel and Cartoon Network are there (for now). But obviously the cartoons have went down in quality too. I mean Spongebob Squarepants, Phineas and Ferb, Adventure Time and Clarence are adult themed. The families who allow their children to watch the programs aren't grasping on the programming content.
Besides these networks are slowly phasing out their classic programs and putting on more garbage masquerading as cartoons or budgeting teen based sitcoms. Soon you'll find news programs on these networks as well. They've already gotten rid of the Ronald McDonald, Kellogg's and General Mills brands.
You might have to shelve out some dollars to find it on Netflix, Hulu or YouTube. Or you might have to find that internet nerd who puts that on a torrent online. You may have to find that website where you can see the programs you've grown up as a child.
Sigh!
This is why I call it the junk food media. They have nothing on and its objective is to get people riled up.
Surely you hear it on the airwaves through talk radio and cable news. But now it's on your children's television programs as well.
Liitton Entertainment is an American media and production company based in Charleston, South Carolina, with four additional offices. Many of Litton's programs comply with federally mandated educational and informational requirements.
Social network got heat after it tried to make people jealous for no reason.
Just today, I seen some of my former friends (yeah, I said it) profiles appear at the top of my Facebook feed page.
One of them was this nasty woman I regretted I ever dated. I won't say her name, but she wasn't one of the most pleasant women I've dated. I see her profile pop up on my page. And I went right to the function, "DO NOT SHOW".
Facebook is the world's most popular social networking website. It's also the most controversial website ever to be created. It's like HIGH SCHOOL all over again! Seriously, it's like I've went back to my old high school and see these bozos once again but through their profiles.
I mean I don't give a rat's ass about these former friends, former girlfriends and people I've worked with before. Whenever I see pictures of women I used to date, I sometimes sigh! I see them with children who aren't mine. I see them with boyfriends or husbands who aren't me! I see friends and associates who know me but would never accept "my invites".
I am certainly glad they've move on pass me. But for me personally, I don't give a care about them or their personal lives.
I am guessing there's a huge controversy going over in Menlo Park. Facebook is doing some damage control after it was revealed that it was deliberately trying to make some users jealous of their friends for a social experiment.
I seen it. And I am none too thrill about it.
Another reason why the social networking website is on the downward slide. I mean has Facebook reached it peak?
YEAH.
And it's going down. Give it six years and people will be saying "What's Facebook?"
Nerdy. Chairman and CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Sheryl Sandberg.
Sheryl Sandberg, the COO of Facebook came out with a huge apology. She stopped short of issuing a heartfelt apology. She called this experiment a "success".
“This was part of ongoing research companies do to test different products, and that was what it was; it was poorly communicated,” Sandberg, Facebook’s chief operating officer, told the Wall Street Journal while travelling in New Delhi. “And for that communication we apologize. We never meant to upset you.”
I must have been one of those 700,000 idiots who Facebook used as a target for social depression.
They often would tweak the most active users profiles to top feed. They would put their feeds on the non-active users (such as myself). They would often show the profiles of braggers. People who are addicted to the social networking. Putting their business out there so the world knows. People would often get jealous and it would lead to depression.
The Washington Post reports that Sandberg’s statement was the first public comment by a Facebook executive on the controversy since it erupted over the weekend, prompting anger from many Facebook users and criticism from some academics who said it was unethical to manipulate users’ emotions without informed consent.
In the study, researchers at Facebook tweaked what hundreds of thousands of users saw in their news feeds, skewing content to be more positive or negative than normal in an attempt to manipulate their moods. Then they checked users’ status updates to see if the content affected what they wrote. They found that, yes, Facebook users’ moods are affected by what they see in their news feeds. Users who saw more negative posts would write more negative things on their own walls, and likewise for positive posts.
Sandberg’s apology is not likely to appease some, such as Robert Klitzman, a psychiatrist and ethics professor critical of the study, who said in a column for CNN that “the problem is not only how the study was described, but how it was conducted.”
Facebook has since implemented stricter guidelines, the Journal reported. Research other than routine product testing is reviewed by a panel of 50 internal experts in fields such as privacy and data security. Company research intended for publication in academic journals goes through a second round of review, again by in-house experts.
The upset over Facebook’s mood study is “a glimpse into a wide-ranging practice,” Kate Crawford, a visiting professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Center for Civic Media and a principal researcher at Microsoft Research told the Journal. Companies “really do see users as a willing experimental test bed” to be used at the companies’ discretion.
See my honest opinion about Facebook. I offer my honest take on how the world's most popular website has taken me down the path to despair and how I overcame my addiction to Facebook.
