The controversial Rob Ford, former mayor of Toronto passed away.
Toronto's colorful and yet trouble politico passed away last night. Rob Ford, the former mayor of Canada's largest city was facing a whole lot of issues. Two issues that seemed to haunt him was his admitted affairs on his wife. But what really got him was his addiction to cocaine and heroin.
He was busted for drinking and driving. He was always under the influence of something when he doing his presser. His misfortunes became the talk of Canada and the world.
Ford admitted that he's not perfect. He kindly reminded his citizens that he's going to get hammered after ending his presser.
Ford had been diagnosed with pleomorphic liposarcoma, a rare form of soft-tissue cancer, in September of 2014, amid a heated re-election battle. The illness forced him to withdraw his candidacy for a second term to focus on cancer treatments.

He was elected to the Toronto City Council in 2014 in spite of his tumultuous past history with inappropriate behavior that included alleged sexual harassment and drug abuse. He was always a good source of entertainment and will forever be remembered for the following quote:
I’m a sick motherfucker, dude.
Rob passed away at the age of 46. He was married to his longtime wife, Renata Brejniak and had two children.
Ford was a bombastic and larger-than-life personality who spoke bluntly, traits that helped him craft an image as a champion of the working class.
When running for mayor, he campaigned as an anti-politician who would cut the size of government and stand up to what he called "big-city elites."
"Toronto's government has grown bloated and wasteful," he said in a campaign video. "It's time to stop the gravy train that provides luxuries and perks to politicians and rich contracts to their friends."
Before his death, Ford mentioned his sins had finally caught up to him. He had no regrets about his troubles. He was a real class act to the people of Toronto.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau ordered Canadian flags lowered in his honor.
World News Today send our condolences to the family of Rob Ford.
The feds put an end to a local drug kingpin. The kingpin and I once attended the same high school.
I've graduated from Meadowdale High School in the late 1990s. During the 1990s, I've seen people through the lens of who's an achiever and whose a failure.
Okay, William Marcus Johnson, Jr. (known as Fruit) is a big pusher of the arm candy. He was once the class clown in high school. I guess them days are over. Now the "clown prince" is the city's biggest dope boy!
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives said 33-year-old Johnson, who stands 6 feet and weighs about 185 pounds, last resided in Dayton. "He should be considered armed and dangerous," according to an ATF news release.
He was trafficking the fentanyl. The drug is a powerful relaxer that mixed with heroin could be a six feet deep trip to purgatory.
Johnson is currently sitting in a federal time out in Columbus, Ohio awaiting his trial on trafficking the narco.
Johnson is innocent until proven guilty. If found guilty he could get five years to LIFE in federal time out. He will have to serve out the term. There's no good behavior in federal time out.
I've mentioned a friend in the previous posts. She is a heroin addict who once had a promising future. I had a major fallout with her after the drugs consumed her life. The friends she associated with are another reason. I am guessing that Johnson is one of those friends.
Former pop singer Denise "Vanity" Matthews passed away.
A bit of sad news happened to hit the junk food media. Singer/actress Denise Matthews best known as Vanity passed away in California after fighting sclerosis. That along with peritonitis and kidney disease was the contributing factors to her death.
Prince groomed this young Canadian singer named Denise Matthews. She would call herself Vanity and help build a group. The group Vanity 6 recorded their only album by the same name. The album is credited for the successful singles "Nasty Girl" and "Drive Me Wild".
Vanity would end up going solo. She end up releasing the albums Wild Animal and Skin on Skin with the hits "Pretty Mess", "Mechanical Emotion" and "Under the Influence".
Vanity would also take up a gig in acting. She appeared in the movies The Last Dragon, 52 Pick-Up and Action Jackson.
During her rise, she fell victim to the "Rock Star Lifestyle". She was addicted to crack cocaine and heroin. She would end up having kidney failure and for the remainder of her life she would undergo peritoneal dialysis five times a day.
She had dated Prince, Adam Ant and Bill Idol. She also was engaged to Nikki Sixx of Motley Crue.
She had a brief marriage to Anthony Smith of the Oakland Raiders. That marriage ended after he got caught up in a murder. Smith is serving LIFE in the iron college.
After a night of binging on crack cocaine, she suffered a nearly fatal renal failure.
That near death experience made her realize that her life was spiraling out of control. In the late 1990s, she would end up becoming a born-again Christian and gave up her Hollywood and music career.
She would become a Christian motivational speaker and renounced the name of Vanity.
Vanity was born in Niagara Falls, Ontario. She was born of Polish, Jewish, German, African American, Hawaiian and Native American ancestry.
World News Today send our condolences to the family of Denise "Vanity" Matthews.
The feds end the partying at Georgia's iron colleges. Interns and correction guards were indicted in drug trafficking, contraband and kickbacks.
The feds ended a string of corruption at many of Georgia's iron colleges.
About 46 members of the Georgia Department of Corrections are facing some federal time out. There were raids at multiple iron colleges.
The raid involved guards, medical officials and inmates smuggling contraband, drug trafficking and slide backs (i.e. gifts and prostitutes) into the iron college.
These workers of the iron college would look the other way when it came to violent encounters, rape, contraband smuggling, and furrows. If it wasn't for their need for greed, they would have gotten away with this. The feds don't play when it comes to corruption in law enforcement.
The feds found cellphones, heroin, and cocaine bundles being shipped out without the warden or the law's skeptical eye.
The Department's Office of Professional Standards says that they arrested five officers after the FBI done a undercover sting.
"It's truly troubling that so many corrections officers from across Georgia could be so wiling to sell their oaths to sell their badges for personal profit., said U.S. Attorney John Horn.
The Feds and state boys entered the Dooly Iron College at the crack of dawn. They performed a shakedown of the entire facility in search of contraband, alcohol, cellphones, weapons and drugs.
These groups had ties to the Mexican cartel. The cartel gave the correction guards everything they wanted. The only thing they were missing was the informant who was interned from a neighboring state. That informant watched patiently as the guards were giving interns the contraband.
Governor Nathan Deal, the Republican of the state is also facing federal watch for allegations of corruption. He has no comment on this scandal as of yet. But it's expected.
You hang with winners, you become a winner. Future releases EVOL on iTunes.
Another album release coming out. Besides Wiz Khalifa who drops Khalifa on Friday, here comes Atlanta's codeine obsessed trap rapper, Future. He releases on iTunes the follow-up to DS2, called EVOL.
It will be released at 11:59pm.
The album comes fresh off his collaboration with Drake (What A Time To Be Alive) and the Purple Reign mixtape that was released earlier this year.
Future also took a potshot at fellow trap rapper Young Thug. Thug was pissed that Future released his album around the time he releases Slim Season 3.
EVOL is Love.
This was a sleeper feud but it's boiling to the surface again. Young Thugger was pissed that Metro Boomin' (Future's long time producer) scrapped a few songs off the canceled Tha Carter VI mixtape.
The song "I Mean" was Young Thug. The song from Drake & Future "Live from the Gutter" had the same beat that Metro produced.
Thugger was none too happy that Metro took flat shots at him for releasing Slime Season 1 and 2 last year. Metro and Thugger went into a Twitter finger fight and Future stuck up for Metro.
Ever since, Future and Thug been trading insults subliminal on their mixtapes.
Now, Future had teamed up with Apple to have his music released on Beats Radio, a division of Apple Music. Future has been treating fans with a lot of new music lately. The 32-year-old rapper released three mixtapes in 2015, including "Beast Mode," "56 Nights," and "What A Time To Be Alive."
The rapper premiered In Abundance and Fly Shit Only. The album tracks will be released on DJ Khaled's radio show.
Future will be able to perform some of the new songs off "EVOL" on his upcoming tour with Ty Dolla $ign. On Feb. 17, Future's "Purple Reign" tour will kick off in Madison, Wisconsin, and will run through March 19.
The rapper is following the tradition that was started by Jay-Z. Jay-Z the founder of rival Tidal, released Magna Carta Holly Grail on RocNation through Tidal. And everyone took the task of doing such.
Hip-hop acts such as Beyonce, Eminem, Drake, Dr. Dre, Lil' Wayne, Kendrick Lamar, Rihanna and of course Future have unexpectedly released albums without little hints.
Ted Williams returns to Columbus, Ohio to do radio. He was the famous homeless guy with the "golden voice".
Ted Williams became an international sensation after he was spotted off Hudson Street in Columbus, Ohio asking for money. The former radio DJ was panhandling off Interstate 71 in January 2011.
The person who worked for the Columbus Dispatch newspaper filmed Ted managed to ask him to do his thing. When he done a radio bumper for the man, the junk food media was astonished by the voice.
How could a man with a voice so good be a panhandler off the freeway?
Well they asked for where Ted was! He was living in a homeless shelter. He was the father of ten who was battling crack and alcohol addiction. He was suffering from depression.
He was let go from his gig at a radio station in WVKO. He's been struggling since his departure.
When the media discovered him, they got him on many radio shows. They had him do voice over for animation, radio stations, commercials and even bumper for the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Well the fame got to him. He relapsed back into his old ways. He wanted divine spiritual advice. He got Dr. Phil.
Dr. Phil McGraw tried to help Ted get out of the slump. He sent him to celebrity rehab and tried to help him get back on his feet. Ted said that he didn't want his personal business becoming a sideshow show he checked himself out of the rehab.
He soon went through a struggle. In his book, A Golden Voice: How Faith, Hard Work and Humility Brought Me from the Streets to Salvation. He talks about struggling through addiction, he said that he and his girlfriend at the time were selling themselves for crack addiction. He also said that he wants to get back in touch with his children.
Now in 2016, it seems like he's back! He got rehired at his old radio gig and is praising the people who supported him through his ordeal.
He will return to the radio in the coming days on the AM station now known as Praise 1580 formerly a soul radio station and progressive radio network.
World News Today wish Ted Williams success on his journey to recovery. We hope the best for him and his family.
Talking the smack. Maine's Republican governor Paul LePage says some stupid shit.
I don't know if he was referring to drug money or a Black guy, who knows?
But the controversial Republican governor from Maine had spoken at a forum on the epidemic of heroin.
Paul LePage got on his soapbox and let his word vomit spread across the state. He rants about how the spread of heroin gotten out of control.
So while he was talking about initiatives to curb this issue, he flaunts out the stereotypical thug narrative.
"Now the traffickers ... These are guys with the name D-Money, Smoothie, Shifty, these types of guys. They come from Connecticut and New York, they come up here, they sell their heroin, and they go back home," LePage said. "Incidentally, half the time they impregnate a young, white girl before they leave, which is a real sad thing because then we have another issue that we've got to deal with down the road. We're going to make them very severe penalties."
It drew sharp criticism from Maine Democrats and the NAACP.
LePage dismissed the criticism and said, "look at my family".
I have a Black son. Check it, his name is Devon Raymond.
Eventually the pressure got to him. He was force to admit that his statements were racist.
Woman injecting arm candy into her body.
"I apologize again," LePage told reporters, saying he "slipped up." "My brain was slower than my mouth."
Many Republican-governed states seen a huge spike in heroin. LePage has previously called for greater enforcement against out-of-state dealers, and said last year he would consider using the state's National Guard.
Maine lawmakers are considering a bill to help ease the crisis that would include money for Drug Enforcement Administration agents and other law enforcement, in addition to funding for treatment programs and facilities. LePage, however, has threatened to veto the bill for what he said was favoritism toward treatment facilities receiving funding.
Maine being a 95% White-majority state is appealing to White and anti-gubmint extremists. They know how to traffic the narcs. But of course, it's them Boston......"insert racial slur" who are responsible for the rise in heroin.
LePage and his huge family. He adopts Devon Raymond into his family.
LePage has made many offensive remarks during his time in office, and in 2013 was accused of saying President Barack Obama hates white people. LePage denied the reports.
He once told the Maine NAACP to pucker up to his ass. "Tell ‘em to kiss my butt,” LePage said. "If they want to play the race card, come to dinner and my son will talk to them."
LePage may soon face impeachment. Democrats in the state legislature plan to move forward with an impeachment motion next week.
In 2013, Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman Loera was nabbed by the Mexican feds. He made a bold escape in 2015 and was on the run for nearly six months. His escape ended in the area where his empire started.
The world's most dangerous drug lord is back in custody. Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman Loera is in the hands of Mexican authorities.
The Mexican president Enrique Pena Nieto said that it's huge accomplishment. They feared that El Chapo would never be caught.
El Chapo was caught up in the town of Los Mochis, Sinaloa. The state of Sinaloa is where the cartel got its name. The most dangerous drug lord was an icon among hip-hop artists.
Gucci Mane, Rick Ross, 2 Chainz, Chief Keef, Lil' Durk, 50 Cent and many others have taken a liking to the Mexican drug lord.
The U.S. wants him to face charges in unsolved murders and federal drug trafficking.
They want to reserve a space for him to be in the Florence Hell House. The Supermax holds some of the most dangerous interns in the world.
The Mexican government is so far not comment on the transfer.
El Chapo escaped the Mexican iron college in 2015. He was on the run for six months. The federal lawmen nabbed El Chapo in a hotel. The arrest was a joint operation with the military that had led to a shootout with suspected Sinoloa cartel members.
Five people died in the firefight.
El Chapo is notorious for plotting escapes from the iron college. Mexican author
ities are determined to not let this happen again.
Of course, we believe them..... Give it two years and he's back out on the streets.
Slim Jesus is a controversial rapper from Ohio who embraces the "Drill" movement.
A 18-year old rapper named Slim Jesus is becoming White version of Chicago's Chief Keef.
Chief Keef (Keith Cozart) is the country's most dangerous rapper. He takes pride in his title. He hails from the Southside of Chicago and embraces the violence that plagues America's third largest city.
Keef never apologizes for being who he is. He loves the life. He doesn't apologize for selling hard.
I am guessing that Slim Jesus is another rapper who embraces the "life" and is willing to die for it.
The rapper who comes from Hamilton, Ohio. He gained popularity after releasing "Drill Time" and strictly adhering to the street code.
The video is extremely controversial.
Slim Jesus's video is cruising over 20 million views.
Certainly he's going to gets some rage from conservatives and some hip-hop journalists. He doesn't care and remains unapologetic about his lyrics.
Drill music is a trap subgenre originating from Chicago. It's deals with tales of street gangs (domestic terrorists), violent lyrics and ominous trap-beats.
Besides Slim Jesus and Chief Keef, rappers Lil' Durk, Lil' Reese, Fredo Santana and King Louie embrace this music and the possibility of a short life ahead.
The news broke that R&B legend Natalie Cole passed away,
The entertainment industry lost a legend. Natalie Cole, the daughter of Nat "King" Cole passed away yesterday. Her family confirmed this news today. She helped her dad score a hit. The song "Unforgetable" was a smash hit from the singer.
She passed away at the age of 65 at Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles.
Her family said that she was battling health issues. During the 1980s and 1990s, Natalie struggled with heroin and crack addiction. She went into rehab after almost losing her young son Robert.
"Natalie fought a fierce, courageous battle, dying how she lived....with dignity, strength, and honor. Our beloved mother, sister will be greatly missed and remain UNFORGETTABLE in our hearts forever." This was coming from her son Robert Yancy and her sisters Timolin and Casey Cole.
Cole had battled drugs and hepatitits that forced her to undergo a transplant of her kidneys.
Natalie lost her sister Carol who they named "Cookie" when she received a transplant. The brother Nat Kelly died in 1995.
Natalie was inspired by the music of her father. She got into the family business at age 11. She was 15 when her dad died of lung cancer.
She took a road to R&B and smooth jazz. She released her album, "Unforgettable.... With Love" which she dedicated to her dad. She took advantage of some of Nat's lost singles and made them into hits.
Besides "Unforgettable" she also hat "That Sunday That Summer", "Too Young" and "Mona Lisa".
She won six Grammys and sold over 14 million units from that album.
Natalie also took advantage of her acting skills. She appeared as a guest star in Shondra Rhines's Grey's Anatomy. Natalie was a resident of Los Angeles.
World News Today send our condolences to the family of Natalie Cole.
Georgia teen and her underage boyfriend took the ride of their lives. They just happened to use her mother's cash to get there. The law placed the cuffs on her and gave her public shaming and sympathies. All while ignoring the fact she was unrepentant criminal.
Will the junk food media call this teen a thug?
Nope.
They'll give this young teen and her accomplice a glowing profile and make it a story about her being a troubled teen and not an unrepentant criminal.
This teen Ivie Jane Adams is facing some serious heat. The charges alone could carry her a few years in the iron college if they decide to charge her as an adult.
Adams and her boyfriend traveled through Georgia, Alabama and Florida breaking into vehicles and stealing property. They even geeked her mom of her properties. They were said to have stolen credit cards, jewelry.
She and the boyfriend (a minor) were hitting it up in Jacksonville. They found another ride in the city and taken it across the panhandle. The couple ended up busted in Dothan, Alabama.
She's being shipped back to suburban Atlanta for a court hearing.
Now that her name was released to the junk food media, people are already seeing the "cuteness" factor in this. She was a good girl and she never got in trouble.
Blah, blah, blah.....!
There's other privileged and pampered Americans who believe themselves to be above the law.
Ethan Couch, Sarah Furay and Martin Shkreli are notorious for being pampered criminals. Don't forget the Bush family too. There's a handful of family members who used their connections to get away with criminal misbehaving.
Meek Mill heading to the iron college. He broke the fourth wall by telling the judge he's no gangsta rapper.
Philadelphia Michael Nutter had knocked Donald Trump for being an asshole. I'm guessing he's going to knock Meek Mill for being in the same league as the billionaire running for the Republican nomination.
Many in the entertainment industry mocked the rapper for being ignorant. I guess he's truly lived to the standard of being an ignorant entertainer.
The court system told Meek Mill to appear to his P.O.. He failed to do it. The court system told him to make frequent drug tests. He failed to do that. The court system told him to report his locations when he was leaving Philadelphia. He didn't. I guess he was so obsessed with being a part of "his girl's tour".
Now in the courtroom, a tearful Meek Mill tells Judge that he's no gangsta. He said that his girl [Queen] Nicki Minaj turned his life over. He apologized for taking shots at the district attorney on his now panned sophomore album "Dreams Worth More Than Money".
The judge said "No mas". You're going to....well you know!
Philly.com reports that Common Pleas Court Judge Genece E. Brinkley hinted that the North Philadelphia rapper's next out-of-town tour - after he is sentenced Feb. 5 - could be the iron college.
"I bent over backward to give him every opportunity to grow his career," Brinkley told defense lawyer Frank DeSimone at the end of the 51/2-hour, virtually nonstop hearing.
Mill, born Robert Williams, and a courtroom packed with his supporters and entourage, including superstar girlfriend Nicki Minaj, seemed stunned by the judge's words.
His girl's tour.... Meek Mill dating Nicki Minaj. She appeared in court with Meek as he faces a bid.
"I know the people who support you really want you to get probation," Brinkley told Mill. "I don't know that would be appropriate because you and I have been around the block a few times."
"I know, your honor," he quietly replied.
Though Mill will not be sentenced for seven weeks, the judge's interim restrictions ended his ability to earn money in the music business.
Brinkley barred Mill from performing anywhere, and limited his travel to the five counties of Southeastern Pennsylvania. He may not even commute to New Jersey to visit his mother, who underwent spine surgery in October.
The judge did permit Mill to do charity work that does not involve performing.
Mill's entertainment management company, Roc Nation, presented the judge with a package of charity and philanthropic ventures - most involving inner-city schools and prison outreach -* in which Mill had expressed interest.
Rapper and singer Nicki Minaj.
Mill testified for about an hour, assuring the judge that he had not purposely defied his probation.
Sounding contrite, Mill praised Brinkley for helping him turn his life around, and said he holds her in the same esteem as his mother, grandmother, sister, and girlfriend.
"I would never dishonor and disrespect you knowing that you are the person who gave me the shot to change my life," he told Brinkley.
After the hearing, Mill quickly doffed his black suit jacket and gray necktie. Court security officers escorted Mill, Minaj - who wore a plum jacket and black skirt - and their entourage to a restricted area containing elevators used by judges and court officials to exit the building.
Neither Mill nor Minaj said a word to reporters.
The case was a routine drug and gun matter in 2008. Mill was convicted, served eight months in the iron college, and then began five years' probation in the fall of 2009.
Since then, his problems following the rules for all probationers - reporting to a probation officer and getting prior approval for out-of-town travel - got him sentenced to an additional five months in the iron college back in 2013.
Assistant District Attorney Noel Ann DeSantis and Probation Officer Treas Underwood outlined a series of alleged probation violations since July, most involving Mill's travels to cities not on his court-approved itinerary or without notifying Underwood.
DeSantis also cited a November urine sample that a technician alleged Mill either diluted with cold water or used another substance to mask illegal drug use. Mill denied doing either, and said the technician threw out the sample and would not permit him to provide another.
Meek Mill's mentor Rick Ross took shots at Drake. Meek and Rozay are members of the Maybach Music mafia.
As in 2013, much of Mill's problems seemed to involve problems in communication among him, his entourage and management, and the probation and court system.
And, as in 2013, Mill on Thursday had an impressive list of supporters vowing to work with him to improve the North Philadelphia community: music legend Kenny Gamble, who said he wanted Mill to work with his charter schools and community projects; Jimmie Moore, a former Municipal Court judge now working with residents and youths in North Philadelphia; and Philadelphia music manager Shawn Gee, who has worked with Minaj and offered to help teach Mill how to manage life in the entertainment business.
Gee warned that Mill's earning ability could be dramatically harmed by any break in his career. Gee said most rap musicians earn the bulk of their revenue through short-notice, one-shot appearances, not recordings.
Gee said Mill's impact on Philadelphia could be immense: "One of the things I noticed is that it's not just the kids in the 'hood, it's kids from Lower Merion. The impact he can have because of the power of his voice can be tremendous."
Meek Mill fucked up. I mean he just about as dumb as Tyga.
In July, Meek Mill took to social media to blast former collaborator Drake for having ghostwriters. Drake nailed his ass to the wall. Meek Mill haven't been able to rebound from this.
Ex-OKC officer Daniel Holtzclaw found guilty of rape.
The former Oklahoma City Police officer who ran a pimp game was served. He was found guilty for first-degree rape. An all White jury listened to the testimony of victims who were raped by this crooked piece of shit.
He got fired out the cannon after his superiors seen evidence of misconduct. This misconduct may hurt the relations with the Black community.
The victims were Black women who were on the stroll. The jury saw that Daniel Holtzclaw was guilty of rape and forcible oral sodomy on Thursday.
Holtzclaw faced a total of 36 charges. He got teary eyed when the jury ruled his fate.
This controversy touched the nerve of the community. It dealt with race, policing, and the blue wall of silence.
This situation wasn't getting much attention in the junk food media.
Holtzclaw played the "I'll look the other way" when it came to the criminal activity around Oklahoma City. He had a beat on the stroll. The stroll was Robinson Avenue in Oklahoma City. The stroll is notorious for ladies of the stroll to make $$$$$$$. It's a notorious area for human trafficking and pimping. The ladies were either low level drug offenders and some the ladies may have been HIV-positive. Some ladies would "honey trap" tricks into an area where the pimp or gang members would rob or brutalize the trick.
Prosecutors alleged that Holtzclaw would try to use his badge and charm to con ladies into sexual acts. Some of the women were violators of the road. He would look the other way if they would let him get a feel or a top off.
He told a victim that he get them off their drug charges if they promise to just look the other way and disappear for awhile.
Brian Bates, the Video Vigilante of Oklahoma City. He and his cameramen go through the streets of Oklahoma City to shame men who pick up prostitutes.
When Holtzclaw got off work, he would tell the victims to meet him at a location of his choosing and he would take them home and forcibly rape them.
The junk food media gave Holtzclaw a glaring spotlight before his downfall. He grew up Enid, Oklahoma. He was a star middle linebacker for Eastern Michigan University's football team. He graduated with a degree in criminal justice. He has family involved in law enforcement.
Holtzclaw is born half White and half Japanese. He was accused of raping 13 women, all Black, while he was on duty. Courts says that he identifies himself as "Asian".
Question: Would they give a Black criminal a glaring spotlight?
Well all that shit isn't relevant. What's relevant is the fact that this dangerous man is off the streets.
What's relevant is that this man is charged with rape, sodomy, stalking, sexual battery, robbery, burglary, indecent exposure, forcible oral sodomy, and misconduct as an officer.
The Video Vigilante films two ladies of the stroll. The one who wearing the boots is a notorious geeker named "Sweets". She is a "honey trap" who sets up her tricks.
RAPE IN OKLAHOMA COULD CARRY LIFE IN THE IRON COLLEGE. HE WAS FOUND GUILTY OF THE RAPE CHARGES. NOW THE SAME JURY OR ANOTHER JURY IS RESPONSIBLE FOR HANDING HIS SENTENCE.
I am guessing this sorry excuse for a human being is on "suicide watch" and will appeal his conviction.
Brian Bates, the Oklahoma City Video Vigilante dealt with this stuff for years. On his YouTube page and his website JohnTV.com, he takes the opportunity to shame tricks who use his city as a sexual playground.
Brian may have had a part in bringing down Holtzclaw. I am guessing he's aware of those lawmen who engage with the ladies of the stroll.
In the state of Florida, a robbery suspect met an untimely fate. Matthew Riggins wanted to geek people of their properties. He was "out on bail" when was prowling around the Brevard County subdivisions. He and his partner were snooping through a yard when someone called the law on them. They were dressed in black and it was dark in the city of Barefoot Bay.
The law quickly arrived to the area. The two men decided to split. In order to not be caught, Riggins told his girlfriend that he's going to be on the run for a minute, he'll call her when the heat dies down.
The partner went towards the streets, Riggins ran toward a lake.
Riggins was hiding in the brush. And he didn't know that nature's fury was calling.
Well Riggins never called. His family reported him missing. Many in the area say that something was lurking in the brushes. They knew the area near the lake was extremely dangerous.
It was ten days later, the Brevard County sheriff's dive team found the problem. The problem was resting near a nest with a nearly decapitated body of Riggins. The body of Riggins was found in November. It was finally confirmed by the state bag 'em ups.
That problem was an 11 foot alligator. The alligator had drowned Riggins, a 6'1", 22 year old man and decapitated his arm and foot. That's what the trappers found inside the stomach of the alligator.
They had to put it down after the alligator got aggressive.
This was the second fatal alligator attack in less than two months. James Okkerse met his fate to a 12 foot alligator. Okkerse was swimming in a state park and the alligator got him.
World News Today send our condolences to Matt Riggins and James Okkerse.
American Alligators are crocodiles. The alligator's habitat stretches in the bayous of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, North Carolina and South Carolina.
I had read a blog on how the South treated slaves. This is the type of stuff that could spark extremism in the Black community.
In the day of slavery, White men and their sons would steal babies and small children of slaves. They would use these innocent babies as alligator bait.
Often they would tie the baby by the neck and torso. As the baby was screaming, these men would dunk the baby in the water to attract the alligators. It was told that the alligator would almost immediately swallow the baby. The men would grab the alligator out the water and hit the creature over the head with a pick ax and let it bleed to death. They would skin the creature for meat and its skin.
This practice carried into the early 20th Century. Mind you that the slavery days have passed since the Civil War and the Reconstruction.
The famed tough guy Robert Loggia passed away on Friday.
Robert (born Salvatore), was an American actor and director. He was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for Jagged Edge (1985).
Loggia’s most notable film credits included “An Officer and a Gentleman,” “Prizzi’s Honor,” “Independence Day,” David Lynch’s “Lost Highway” and “Big,” in which he played a toy company owner and performed a memorable duet on a giant foot-operated piano with Tom Hanks. He played Miami drug lord Frank Lopez in “Scarface.”
Loggia was nominated for an Emmy in 1989 for his portrayal of FBI agent Nick Mancuso in the series “Mancuso FBI” — which has a spin-off of the character he created in the “Favorite Son” miniseries starring Harry Hamlin — and again in 2000 for his guest star role in “Malcolm in the Middle.”
Loggia was a versatile supporting actor, assembling credits on three different episodes of “The Rockford Files” as three different characters. He also appeared in three different “Pink Panther” movies with three different character names.
Loggia played Anwar Sadat in the 1982 TV movie “A Woman Called Golda” opposite Ingrid Bergman. He also portrayed fearsome mobster-bakery owner Feech La Manna on several episodes of “The Sopranos.”
Loggia was a native of Staten Island, born to Italian immigrants. He received a football scholarship to Wagner College and transferred to the University of Missouri. After serving two years in the U.S. Army, he began classes with Stella Adler and at the Actors Studio.
“He loved being an actor,” his widow told Variety. “He used to say that he never had to work. He never had to wait tables.”
“I loved Bob like a father,” Lionsgate Vice Chairman Michael Burns told Variety. “I will miss him tremendously.”
Loggia played drug lord Frank Lopez.
He broke into the entertainment business performing in stage plays in New York.

Spoiled brat caught on tape playing beer pong when he was supposed to be serving his probation sentence.
He managed to use his family's connections to get him house arrest. Ethan Couch was convicted of vehicular homicide. He was sentenced to ten years of in-house with the conditions to avoid alcohol, drugs and criminal behavior. Couch's reckless actions resulted in the death of four innocent motorists.
The lawyers had argued that Couch was unable to understand the consequences of his actions because of his financial privilege. The defendant had been witnessed on surveillance video stealing beer from a store, driving with seven passengers in a Ford F-350 stolen from his father, speeding (70 miles per hour (110 km/h) in a 40 miles per hour (64 km/h) zone). Couch was also driving drunk and while under sedation with Valium; he had a blood alcohol content of .24%, three times the legal limit for an adult in Texas.
Eric Boyles, whose wife and daughter were killed in the crash, said, "Had he not had money to have the defense there, to also have the experts testify, and also offer to pay for the treatment, I think the results would have been different."
While many Black or Hispanic motorists are often subjected to time in the iron college, Couch had managed to sway the court with this pathetic excuse. He was suffering from affluenza. This disorder is supposedly caused by having too much affluence in the community where in the mindset, you're immune from knowing right from wrong.
Someone recorded Couch and a couple of his friends playing beer pong. One of the players would crash land on the table while he stands there cheering him on.
When the person posted it on social media, it managed to grab junk food media attention.
The user posted a video along with a caption stating that Ethan Couch was in violation of his probation. The video is of several teens throwing a party, one of which appears to be Ethan Couch.
This would be in direct violation of his 10 year probation if any alcohol consumption was involved. Consequences may include a re-sentencing which could mean up to 10 years in jail according to the Tarrant County District Office.
Not winning. Famed entertainer will tell the world he's got caught up!
A week ago, an adult entertainer threatened a lawsuit against a major A-list actor. She said that he was living secretly with the deadly virus. She said that he's appeared in movies and television.
It was splashed on the conservative Craigslist Saturday night. And now the sources point to....the son of Martin Sheen. He is the brother of Ramon, Renee and Emilo Estévez. The man who had rocky relationships with Donna Peele. Then comes Denise Richards and Brooke Mueller (the mothers of his children).
At a point I had to think that the only person I've known who had issues prostitutes, cocaine and alcohol was Charlie Sheen.
The famed actor will appear on NBC Today to discuss the controversy. Carlos Irwin Estévez (known as Charlie Sheen) will confirm to the rumors.
A huge bombshell for the entertainment industry.
Sheen has appeared in major movies such as Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Platoon, Hot Shots, and Wall Street. He starred in television shows such as Spin City, Two and a Half Men, and Anger Management.
Many in the industry knew that Charlie had issues. He was dealing with drugs, sex, and alcohol. The woman puts his business on blast. She said that Sheen would invite women from the adult entertainment industry to have orgies. He would sleep with women and transgender prostitutes.
According to numerous sources, Sheen is HIV-positive, It's a legacy of his past solicitations with prostitutes and substance abuses.
Back to the drawing board for pot advocates. The ballot measure was rejected.
The state of Ohio boldly rejected the Issue 3 ballot issue. The issue was legalize marijuana usage for both recreational and medical usage. The catch is that marijuana will be grown at only 10 specific counties under the whim of private investors.
Many said the language was confusing.
Some are citing the rise in heroin usage as a reason to decline the ballot measure. Ohio, Indiana and Illinois lead in heroin deaths in the Midwest.
The supporters of Legalize Ohio and their creepy mascot Budd-E go down in a major defeat.
The ballot measure would have granted Ohio full legalization of marijuana. However it will only be unfettered government control of grow operations by a handpick group of business executives.
Nick Lachey, the former pop star and reality television host and a handful of celebrities and politicos throw their weight into Issue 3.
The Legalize Ohio
Issue 3 would have legalized marijuana for recreational smoking and in edible form for Ohioans 21 or older, and in medicinal form for those of any age with qualifying medical conditions. Commercial growth was to be controlled for at least the first four years by investment groups at 10 specified locations around the state.
The word "monopoly" was the word inserted in the ballot measure. Issue 2 would prevent a sole private entity from owning all access to marijuana grow centers. Issue 3 would legalize it statewide, but keep it strictly grown in these select areas.
The killing of Zachary Hammond.was justified says the law.
If it wasn't for #BlackLivesMatter, we wouldn't hear the story of a 19-year old teen being gunned down by plain clothes after they accused him of raving up the vehicle and trying to run him over.
The FBI and Justice Department are looking into the case. They are determining if use of force was justified.
Zachary Hammond, a Seneca, South Carolina teen was accompanied by an alleged prostitute. Tori Morton, 23 year old accompanied with Zach was later arrested.
Tori Morton was sobbing in mug.
Now that she's out of lockup Tori said that the cop used excessive force.
The law put two slugs in Zach. He was killed upon impact. His vehicle rolled a bit. He was unarmed.
The officer who put the slugs in him was 32-year-old police lieutenant Mark Tiller. Tiller was not indicted in the shooting. This sparked outrage among the family and #BlackLivesMatter activists.
Now his family demands answers to why their son was gunned down. Yeah, the junk food media will do the usual "well he was this before that!" They do a document drop to say well if it wasn't for his behavior, he wouldn't be shot.
The concern trolls practice in deflecting and distracting.
Why an unarmed suspect was gunned down for a minor offense?
Zach had a history of involvement with drugs, and threatened to kill his ex-girlfriend three months prior to the incident. Previous text messages revealed a prior unwillingness to stop for police or to submit to lawful authority, and he had previously run through several police checkpoints in order to evade arrest.
Mark Tiller, Seneca Police and dog handler
Tiller approached Zach's car, ordering him to show his hands. Zach did not show his hands and instead accelerated toward the officer, damaging the curb and forcing the officer to step back to avoid being hit.
Tiller then fired two rounds from his .45 caliber handgun at close range through the open driver's side window of the car as Zach tried to flee. Bullets struck Zach in the left chest and left rear shoulder.
According to a police report, Tiller feared being run over by Zach's vehicle when he backed it up and then pulled forward toward the officer. Zach was under the influence of cocaine at the time of his death.
In the video from clear up, the Tiller fired upon the vehicle the moment Zach rode off. The video is disturbing. What got me was he said that he's going to call his PBA rep.
That code for union rep.
In the video I see that Zach was trying to avoid Tiller. I see that Tiller overracted to the fact that Zach was trying to pull away.
The shooting happened at about 8:20 p.m. July 26 in the parking lot of Hardee's on Bypass 123 in Seneca during an undercover drug sting that targeted Tori 23, who was a passenger in Hammond’s car.
Tori accidentally texted a state trooper who had a very similar number to the person she was trying to sell drugs to.
The exchange goes as follows:
Tori (from Zach Hammond's Cell): hey this tori I gotta g (gram) for 60 of the good (street language for cocaine)
Trooper: Can i meet you in a little bit
Tori (from Zach's Cell): yeah whenever
The trooper called Seneca police, who sent an undercover officer to Hardee's to meet with Morton and Hammond.
This was the exchange between the officer and Morton around 8:25 p.m:
Officer: I'm in the back where you at
Toril (from Zach's Cell): I think im beside u lol
Tiller was sent to Hardee's for backup. This would lead to the deadly encounter.
The decision not to bring state charges against Tiller does not close the case. The U.S. Justice Department has opened a civil rights investigation into the matter and that federal investigation is still ongoing.
Ever since he's been booted from the NBA, the former LA Lakers forward is taking a nosedive.
His marriage to the the news this evening.
Lamar Odom is fighting for his life in a Las Vegas hospital. He was found unconscious in Dennis Hoff's Love Ranch brothel (also known as The Moonlite Bunny Ranch South). The junk food media is reporting that he took a bad combo.
Reports also indicate Odom had used cocaine and sexual enhancement supplements.
The combo may spelled trouble for Odom. His ex-wife Khloé Kardashian, his mother and Liza Morales, the mother of his three children were notified of this.
They're in area preparing for the end.
Now from what I've heard, the star is on life support. He suffered massive brain damage.
Odom had least one stroke and is on a ventilator.
Odom had a troubled life. He grew up on the rough South Jamaica, Queens streets. He grew up struggling with bipolar disorder and sexual obsession. From allegations of cheating, drinking, and addiction to cocaine, Odom was struggling with being loved.
He played for the LA Clippers, the Lakers and then the Dallas Mavericks. Before he was officially cut from the NBA, Odom played for one more season for the New York Knicks.
CNN reports that the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police played the 911 call at a news conference, a woman says she also saw Odom take 10 herbal supplement tablets over three days.
Odom was found on Tuesday, the fourth day, lying in bed on his side, with a pinkish fluid coming from his mouth and nose, callers told 911 operators.
He was taken to a hospital in Las Vegas, about an hour's drive from Crystal.
Pahrump Valley Fire Rescue Chief Scott Lewis told reporters there were no incidents as Odom was driven from a hospital in Pahrump to Las Vegas.
Odom, who won two NBA championships and appeared in reality TV shows with Kardashian, was found unresponsive Tuesday afternoon at the Love Ranch in Crystal, authorities said.
"When they took him to the Pahrump hospital, the people there told us, 'He doesn't look good. He doesn't look like he'll make it, and if he does, he won't be the same,' " brothel owner Dennis Hof said.
Officials haven't said what was wrong with Odom, and his condition remains unclear.
The Rev. Jesse Jackson, who visited Odom on Wednesday morning, said the former basketball star was on life support and is not conscious.
Authorities originally planned to fly him to Sunrise Hospital & Medical Center in Las Vegas, but said the 6-foot-10 Odom was too tall to fit in a helicopter. An ambulance then took him to the facility, about 60 miles away from Pahrump.
Odom, 35, won two NBA championships as a forward for the Los Angeles Lakers.
World News Today pray for the family of Lamar Odom.
