Massive Fire In Oakland Kills Dozens!

Oakland club fire claims 50 people.

I am fatigued of a lot of things. Tragedies are one of them. I am tired of hearing about how many people died in tragedies that could have been prevented. If we had a Congress that would pass regulations on building safety, some of these incidents could have been prevented. California is one of the states with the most regulations on the environment and safety of buildings. Given that California sits on the Ring of Fire Earthquake zone, the state assembly passed laws that stops companies from having unsafe structures like this tragedy in Oakland.

Somehow the party was too big and there were not enough escape routes. In case of an emergency, some would hide in the restroom or kitchen. Obviously some of the victims may have been in the restroom or in areas where exits weren't available.

There was a massive fire that led to tragedy in Oakland, California. It happened in a converted warehouse called The Ghost Ship. At the time of the fire, the warehouse was hosting a concert promoted by the house music label called 100% Silk and featured musicians from the label.

At present time nearly three dozen people were killed in the fire. This is probably one of the deadliest fires in Oakland. It would be counted one of the deadliest in the United States.

It's not known to how the fire was started but it was bad building preparations that made it impossible for victims to escape the fire. Given a fire could cause a stampede. Some of the victims were trampled as others tried to escape.

I blame Donald J. Trump, Mike Pence and Republicans for promising to cut regulations to building safety.

Keyshia Cole Spends The Night In The County!

Keyshia Cole throws down and got the cuffs slapped on her.

R & B singer and reality star Keyshia Cole will be releasing Point of No Return this year.

A little bit of a setback for the entertainer. The Associated Press reports that LAPD put the cuffs on the Grammy-nominated entertainer Keyshia Cole because of her fist of glory. She was being put in the back of the cruiser on the suspicion of battery after an altercation early Friday morning in Los Angeles.

Los Angeles police officer Nuria Vanegas says Cole was arrested around 5 a.m. after someone initiated a private person's arrest. The 32-year-old was booked on suspicion of battery and released from custody Friday afternoon.

Police did not release any further details about the incident.

An email message sent to Cole's publicist was not immediately returned.

Cole's second album, 2007's "Just Like You," produced the songs "Let It Go," ''I Remember" and "Heaven Sent."

Apparently she got drunk and hit that chick with a bottle at Bryan "Birdman/Baby" Williams' condo.

I am guessing the junk food media is saying that the entertainer is dating the 45 year old media mogul.

Man Killed At Wiz Khalifa Concert!

Blacc Hollywood is out this week. Mourning the lost of a fan is on Wednesday. Wiz Khalifa and Jeezy express condolences to the family of a concert goer who was killed.

You just want to have fun, get drunk and get high. That's the way you want to be.... When you're going to a Wiz Khalifa concert. Unfortunately, a man loses his life to gun violence behind the curtain.

Usually, any concert held by Wiz Khalifa is peaceful. But the company that came with the rapper might have been the reason for the shooting.

Papa Jeezy was an opening act. A known act with ties to the Black Mafia Family. So obviously, I am guessing the people you're associated with could be the reason to the gun violence.

Cameron Thomaz is relatively a peaceful guy.

He is one of my favorite artists. Wiz Khalifa is a strong advocate for the Carolina Pine. While in Mountain View, California, he and his fans were blazing up when this incident jumped off.

The Associated Press reports that 38-year-old Eric Johnson died Saturday after he was shot multiple times backstage during a concert at a popular Silicon Valley venue, authorities said.

The shooting occurred at Shoreline Amphitheatre, where Pittsburgh rapper Wiz Khalifa, Atlanta hip hop artist Jeezy and others had finished performing Friday night. The victim, whose name was not immediately released, died at a hospital.

Police rushed to the outdoor venue after receiving multiple calls that shots had been fired. However, no arrests have been made, and officers were still looking for a male suspect believed to be in his 20s and armed with a handgun.

Investigators turned to social media to ask concertgoers for photos or videos that might provide clues.

Authorities don't yet know how a gun made it into the amphitheater, where patrons undergo security screening, Mountain View police spokeswoman Shino Tanaka told KTVU-TV (http://bit.ly/1BOuxnh ).

Wiz Khalifa was scheduled to continue his Under the Influence of Music Tour at Sleep Train Amphitheater in Chula Vista, California, on Saturday night, but the show was canceled "due to an active investigation" of the shooting at the Shoreline Amphitheatre, concert organizer Live Nation said in a statement.

A post on Wiz Khalifa's Twitter account blamed the cancellation on "a situation out of our control."

The rapper also called shooting "a senseless tragedy."

"Violence is never the answer. My prayers go out to the victim's family," he tweeted.

He has another concert scheduled Sunday in Irvine, California.

We agree with Wiz Khalifa. This was a senseless tragedy. An event that adds fuel to the fire of the perception of how the racist right views Black America.

We here at Journal de la Reyna sends our condolences to the family of Eric Johnson.

BART shooting did not have to happen

The shooting death of Oscar Grant by BART Officer Johannes Mehserle could have been avoided. It turns out that Johannes Mehserle and others officers beat Kenneth Carrethers a black man just two months prior to Grant's death.

Kenneth Carrethers tried to file a complaint to no avail because the one officer who handles such complaints was on vacation up until the week after Grant's death.You have to wonder whether or not that report had been filed would Mehserle been in position to kill anyone. It seems that police brutality was the norm with BART Officers and what's worse no one at the top seemed to care. Watch video of Kenneth Carrethers tell his story by clicking the link:
