The Mugshot Of The "Handsome Thug" Goes Viral!

Smile for the cameras. A man in the county lockup won praise for being the most handsome mugshot ever!

It's Friday and I am guessing that no good news is bad news. The country is going nuts over some guy who had the perfect mugshot.

While in the California country lockup, Jeremy Meeks got over 33,000 "likes" on the social networks.

Meeks, a 30 year old felon was booked for weapons charges. While it was posted by the Stockton police department,  the mugshot gains positive feedback. No previous arrest photo has garnered so much positive attention since the department set up the Facebook page in March 2012, says Joseph Silva a spokesman for Stockton police.

The Associated Press reports that Meeks got praise for his high cheek bones, chiseled face and striking blue eyes.

"I have not seen that many likes for a photo before," he said.

By late Thursday, Meeks' arrest photo had garnered more than 33,000 "likes," and 10,400 comments, and had been shared more than 3,300 times.

"Wow. That is one good looking mug shot!" one person wrote.

"Momma, I'm in love with a criminal," another joked.

Some online commentators even said Meeks looked like he belonged in an Abercrombie & Fitch ad or on the show "America's Next Top Model."

Still others were disapproving, such as one observer who said, "He may be a tad bit cute, but with six felonies, he ain't that cute."

Meeks was one of four men taken into custody during Operation Ceasefire, a multiagency mission to curb a recent increase in shootings and robberies in the Weston Ranch area of Stockton, a Northern California city of about 300,000 nestled amid the network of waterways that form the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta.

Four firearms were confiscated during a sweep Wednesday involving the Stockton police gang unit, the FBI, the U.S. Marshals Task Force and other agencies.

Silva called Meeks "one of the most violent criminals in the Stockton area," though he declined to provide any details on the crimes that Meeks is believed to have been involved in.

Meeks, who is being held in lieu of $900,000 bail, is scheduled to be arraigned Friday afternoon.

Silva did not know whether he had retained a lawyer.

South Of West Kardashian!

Khloe Kardashian dating French Montana. Another stupid story about the Kardashians.

Khloe Kardashian found her a new friend. Being estranged from dope head Lamar Odom is probably a good thing for her. But to turn up with a guy who claims he's a "coke boy", well you know how this story goes! 

This new friend who like guns and acting like a total "gangsta".

Somali-born rapper French Montana is an artist who is affiliated with Sean "Mr. Puff" Combs' Bad Boy label and joint associated with Rick Ross' Maybach Music Group.

He's the rising act in a saturated market of "STREET NIGGAS".

He released the Excuse My French album last year and is known to drop a mixtape or two during his downtime.

I guess he's dating the reality turd. The reality turd is sister of Kim Kardashian-West, the wife of rap producer/entertainer Kanye West.

The Huffington Post reports that Khloe Kardashian is under fire after posting a controversial photo to her Instagram account on June 2.

In the black and white picture, the 29-year-old reality star poses with rumored boyfriend French Montana, who is holding a machine gun while Kardashian drinks champagne from the bottle. "About to go gucci maaannnnnn. #MovieSet #JustDifferent @frenchmontana," she captioned the snapshot. Montana also posted the photo to his account, writing, "#bangbang."

The picture was allegedly taken on the set of DJ Khaled's new music video for "They Don't Love You No More," which Montana has been filming in Miami, Florida. The song also features Jay Z, Rick Ross and Meek Mill.

Some of Kardashian's followers were not happy with the picture, taking to her Instagram page to voice their opinions. "Guns should not be glamorized," one commenter wrote, with others posting, "So disrespectful to those who have lost people recently" and "You are a role model!! Alcohol and guns DO NOT MIX."

The Kardashians are probably one of the most hated celebrities out there. I understand that they value a certain group of stans, but reality shows us nothing but utter ignorance.

Cold Heat Pt. 3: Accused Shooters Found Not Guilty!

Michael Hall known as Mic Lansky and Korwyn Moore both dodged a lengthy iron college stay. Both men were found not guilty in the deaths of two men.

Dayton men were found not guilty in murder back in 2013. The Heat nightclub was closed late last year after the suburb of Huber Heights pulled the plug on the liquor license of the establishment.

The Heat was a spot for hip-hop entertainers and was known for its continuous calls for public disturbances.

Michael Hall and Korwyn Moore were found not guilty in the murders of Charles Bell III and Michael's brother Keenan. Hall is a known Midwest rapper. Hall goes by the name of Mic Lansky.

According to witnesses, there was a fight at the club and it poured outside. All of sudden, gunfire. Two men were hit. One dead on the scene. Another died at the hospital. And one was injured but survived.

The nightclub owner gave up her fight to keep her establishment in Huber Heights. She vows to open up another location in the future.

Huber Heights police and Dayton police along with FBI were looking into how this occurred. The club had security, cameras and also a shoddy history.

The club owner Jessica Kennedy managed to fight off Huber Heights in the beginning. Her establishment lost their liquor license earlier that year. She turned her nightclub into a teen club in which alcohol wasn't a part of the club. For the time being, she would fight the suburb in the state court.

The state decided to allow her to continue to serve alcohol.

Only few weeks later this event would occur.

You know the knot heads of the community continue to push all "us Black folk" down. They just can't keep their egos outside. It's apparent even in a suburban nightclub where security was at its highest, guns are plentiful.

Of course this incident spooks the sleepy residents of Huber Heights. Many think that if they want this type of drama, they'll move to Dayton.

I hear this stuff especially from conservative minded individuals who believe the Black men are "natural born criminals". Despite all the changes to keep patrons safe, that shooting killed two men and leaving one injured.

It doomed the nightclub. After November, the Heat was officially closed.

Dayton Daily News reports that the jury of 10 women and two men deliberated for about an hour and a half late Tuesday afternoon and resumed at 8:30 this morning before reaching a verdict just after 1 p.m. There were 10 Montgomery County Sheriff's Deputies in the courtroom for security reasons.

Korwyn hasn't escaped the iron college yet. He's probably going to get five years in the iron college for having a weapon under disability.

Sad that Charles Bell III's family won't get justice. They watch as two men who have criminal history be free to continue their reign of hate and terror upon the Black community.

Yeah, I said Black community. These guys aren't WHITE EXTREMISTS!

These guys are Black and they're more of these individuals out there killing Blacks.

Brooklyn Man Cruelly Kicks A Cat 20 Feet! [NSFW]

With a cigarette in his hand, this stupid ass young man kicks this cat about 20 feet.

As you know the racist right loves these stories of Black ignorance. It's quite unique that I've ignored this until I watched Inside Edition. I heard about this on that conservative asshole's right wing carnival this afternoon.

I thought That Guy Who Helped Obama Win was going to do something about one his folks doing something cruel to animals. Of course after his nonstop bashing of President Barack Obama over Benghazi, and then of course his bashing of Hillary Clinton and ex-president Bill Clinton over Monica Lewinsky coming back into the spotlight, I didn't think he was doing one of his trademark "Black stories".

I thought this stuff was in the suburbs. I guess in the heart of Bed-Stuy (Bedford-Stuyvesant) some dumb ass would intentionally kick a feline about 20 feet. A friend would film this stuff.

Bragging rights for the cruel cat kicker.

Andrew Robinson is taken to the lockup after he lured a cat with portions of food. Next thing you know, his Nike's launched the cat into the bushes. After the cat landed the young man and his friends busted out laughing and even making this hit the social webs.

Robinson is expect to face charges for animal cruelty. He will get death threats from the mentally insane.

He will agitate the already dangerous racial extremists who believe he may eventually come after their White women.

I guess he didn't think that would make the viewers pissed off. An animal lover would watch this, find out the name of the filmmaker. The filmmaker got a visit from the cops and he pointed the finger at the 21 year old turd.

Now of course, if this stuff makes it to the racist right, expect them to claim this heartless asshole is one of "OBAMA'S SONS".

Be warned this is disturbing.

And for those who believe that this is funny, be lucky that cat didn't retaliate and attack him. Feral cats can be very dangerous when approached. They can carry rabies.

Clerical Error Puts A Man In The Iron College!

Cornealious Michael Anderson (known as Michael) caught a case but wasn't sent up the creek. So instead of committing more crimes, he apologizes to the victims and rehabilitates himself. He starts a family and gotten married. About that time, Missouri state prosecutors wanted to put him in the iron college.

[Cornealious] Michael Anderson III was freed this week after spending nine months in the iron college. He was to serve 13 years in the iron college for a crime he's committed years ago, but never was sentenced.

While awaiting his sentence, he actually never got the word to appear. So for about a decade, he made amends, gotten married and do community service. Here's the kicker, he used his name and never left the city where he resided.

It is unclear why he was not arrested and imprisoned to serve his 13-year sentence, but, apparently due to clerical errors and miscommunication, the Missouri Lockup thought he was already in the iron college. The error was only discovered when he was scheduled to be released from the iron college in 2013.

On July 25, 2013 he was arrested and required to serve his 13-year sentence.

Michael raised four children and lived in St. Joseph. Always aware that the law may take him away because of a crime he done when he was younger.

Wikipedia explains that Anderson and a companion robbed a Burger King manager at gunpoint of approximately $2,000 while he was attempting to deposit the money in a night deposit box at a bank. A witness observed Anderson and his companion leaving in a car and reported the license plate number to the police. When the police ran the number, they found that it was registered to 22-year old [Cornealious] Michael Anderson. The next day, St. Charles police found Anderson's car in a parking lot about a mile from the bank, but they did not catch him until two months later, when he was found hiding in his girlfriend's apartment.

In March 2000, Anderson's jury trial for armed robbery began. Although police never recovered a weapon, they searched Anderson's apartment and found an advertisement brochure for Beretta semiautomatic pistols.

The St. Charles prosecutor in the case used the brochure to argue that although no weapon was found, Anderson owned a gun.

The jury returned a verdict of guilty and Anderson was sentenced to a total of 13 years to the iron college.

Anderson was released from the iron college with credit for time served, making him a free man with no need for parole. The presiding judge, Judge Terry Lynn, had this to say:

You've been a good father. You've been a good husband. You've been a good taxpaying citizen of the state of Missouri. "That leads me to believe that you are a good man and a changed man.

Attorney General Chris Koster, who had suggested this appeal to Anderson's attorney, released a statement after judge Lynn's ruling:

From the outset, I have proposed a solution that balances the seriousness of Mr. Anderson's crime with the mistake made by the criminal justice system and Mr. Anderson's lack of a criminal record over the past 13 years. Today's outcome appears to appropriately balance the facts as we understand them.

The victim didn't think he should have been released. The victim of the robbery, Dennis (first name only), contacted the Riverfront Times and asked them to talk to him about how much the robbery damaged his life.

He told the Riverfront Times that the robbery made him paranoid that the robbers would come after him. He quit his job, isolated himself, and his marriage eventually broke up.

At about the same time, his daughter had also read the story in a high school class without knowing Dennis was the victim. She came home and told Dennis about the case and then asked him for his opinion about it.

The Riverfront Times reported that he told his daughter that Anderson should be let go.

Despite the racist right attacks, Michael has overcame incredible odds.

We here at Journal de la Reyna wish [Cornealious] Michael Anderson well on his journey.

You're Of The People, Priest!

Holier than thou.... Catholic archbishop was told to give up his lavish mansion.

Living lavish on the religion. The biggest money game is the American biblical.

Millions of tax free dollars goes to televangelists and Catholic priest. Without a paper trail, some of your religious leaders will make millions off you and your givings to GOD.

There was a controversy in Atlanta over the week. The Associated Press reports that Roman Catholic Archbishop Wilton Gregory announced the decision following a closed-door meeting with members of several church councils at his headquarters north of Atlanta. He will move out of the Tudor-style residence in early May. "I have decided to sell the Habersham property and invest the proceeds from that sale into the needs of the Catholic community," Gregory told the AP after the meeting.

The mansion was made possible by a multimillion dollar gift to the archdiocese. Laura Mullins, one of several Catholics who asked Gregory to sell, praised the archbishop for making a quick decision and ending the controversy. "He is the person we follow locally," she said. "He sets the example for all of us to follow. If he is choosing to use a gift so personally, what does that tell the people sitting in the pews?"

Southern hospitality.

Gregory has issued an apology after reports that he'd built himself a $2.2 million mansion sparked outrage in the diocese. Gregory bought the mansion with a $15 million posthumous gift from Gone With the Wind heir Joseph Mitchell, who wanted the money spent on "general religious and charitable purposes,"

Gregory explains that he was generously selling his old home to a nearby cathedral, and building himself a "comparable" residence.

"While my advisors and I were able to justify this project fiscally, logistically and practically, I personally failed to project the cost in terms of my own integrity and pastoral credibility," Gregory writes, adding that Pope Francis has "set the bar" higher for priestly humility. He promises to consult with other church officials and sell the residence if they advise him to.

Washed Up Rapper Shot By His Nephew!

Some fun facts about washed up rapper Benzino

Born: July 18, 1965 (age 48), Boston, MA Height: 5' 3" (1.60 m)

He's about the average height of a woman.

He released four albums and none of them are successful.

Washed up rapper and reality star Raymond "Benzino" Scott was known to shoot off his mouth. He often engaged in this braggadocio about how he's from the "Mean Streets Of Boston".

He was once the co-owner of the hip-hop magazine The Source. He and his partner Dave Mays ran the magazine into the ground. Black Enterprises sacked them over seven years ago. They relaunched Hip-Hop Weekly and continue to blow money fast.

He was the rapper who engaged in a feud with Eminem. Most people never heard of him. They thought of him as a buffoon for taking on a rapper who is pretty much a legend.

The dumb rapper probably pissed off more than Eminem. He spent nearly a decade feuding with him. He claims the feud is "over". But on ocassions, he'll drop diss on Em.

He's pissed off Kim Osario, the former editor of The Source. She successfully sued him and Mays for sexual harassment.

He's pissed off the police. For the numerous run ins for driving without a license and drug charges. Then he would go on television screaming racism.

Benzino pissed off the millions of readers (one being me) who didn't get their subscription in the mail. The Source went through bankruptcy. Those who spent that $24 for a two year subscription weren't given the magazine. They were given the run around. The run around led to its competitors (one being XXL) to take the spot as the number on hip-hop magazine.

Ja Rule with Benzino in the studio listening to their beats.

Nowadays whenever you're a washed up celebrity, you'll end up on reality television. Well Benzino is a fixture of Love & Hip-Hop: Atlanta.

The Associated Press and Huffington Post reports that Benzino was injured after being shot by his nephew on a Massachusetts highway Saturday while riding in a funeral procession for a family member, according authorities and Benzino's hip-hop magazine.

Benzino, whose real name is Raymond Scott, is a cast member of the VH1 reality show "Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta" and CEO of Hip-Hop Weekly. The magazine confirmed on its website Saturday night that Benzino had been shot.

The 48-year-old Benzino was traveling on Route 3 south of Boston just before noon when 36-year-old Gai Scott pulled alongside and fired several shots into a red SUV driven by Benzino, the Plymouth County District Attorney's Office said in a statement. Officials say there had been growing tension between the two.

Benzino, of Mansfield, Mass., got out of the SUV after being struck and was taken by a passerby to the Duxbury Police Department and then transferred to a hospital.

Hip-Hop Weekly said he was shot in an arm, and his back was grazed by a bullet.

He was listed in good condition, a spokeswoman for South Shore Hospital in South Weymouth said Sunday morning.

The magazine said Benzino was in the area to bury his mother. He was heading to a church in Plymouth at the time of the shooting, the District Attorney's Office said.

Police responding to the scene found the red SUV in the middle of Route 3 with bullet holes and a reddish brown substance believe to be blood inside the vehicle. Officials said shell casings and projectiles also were found at the scene.

Gai Scott, of Randolph, Mass., was taken into custody and charged with assault with intent to murder. He is scheduled to be arraigned Monday in the Plymouth District Court.

The "Love & Hip Hop" series is known for its over-the-top drama and fights — making it a ratings success, but also a target for criticism. The fourth season of the show's New York series ended in January. The third season of the Atlanta spinoff debuts in May.

Young Lifers!

Juwan Wickware is the first juvenile in Michigan to be sentenced to life in the iron college.

The Huffington Post is one of my favorite websites. I often check some of the stories and this one happen to grab my attention.

Did you know that the United States is the only country in the world that will charge a juvenile as an adult and put the individual in the iron college for LIFE without the possibility of parole?

I knew.

Lionel Tate rings a bell, don't it?

Well there's a big controversy up in the state on how this juvenile (although a criminal) is being sentenced to the iron college on the merits of capital murder.

Do you actually want to explain to the family of that pizza delivery driver Juwan Wickware killed on that night?

Do you believe that even though a killer, should the American justice system have sympathy for the young?

Also since we're living in the days of President Barack Obama, would the racist right make noise about this?

After all, the racist right will make this young teen another "Ttayvon" and "Jordan".

Michigan Live reports that Juwan Wickware's life in prison without the possibility of parole is monumental.

This is the first-of-its-kind sentencing hearing following a U.S. Supreme Court decision banning mandatory life sentences without parole for juvenile offenders.

Genesee Circuit Judge Archie Hayman issued the sentence Tuesday, Aug. 20, for Juwan Wickware following two hearings that explored Wickware's mental status, criminal history and upbringing.

Wickware, 19, was convicted of first-degree felony murder in August 2012 in the 2010 shooting death of 33-year-old pizza delivery driver Michael Nettles on the city's north side. Wickware was 16 at the time of Nettles' death.

"I think the judge made the correct ruling," Genesee County Prosecutor David Leyton said.

State law calls for a mandatory sentence of life without parole for those convicted of felony murder. However, the Supreme Court ruled in June 2012 that mandatory life sentences without parole for juveniles are unconstitutional.

Wickware was the first juvenile facing the possibility of life without parole in Michigan since the Supreme Court's ruling.

Hayman conducted the multiple hearings, which included testimony from a mental health professional, school official and police officer, in an effort to comply with the Supreme Court's decision that calls on judges to individually tailor sentences for juvenile offenders.

The Supreme Court said that life without parole sentences can be handed down to juveniles as long as the sentencing judge analyzes the circumstances of the case and the juvenile's prior history and decides that the punishment is appropriate for the defendant. The hearings were part Hayman's analysis.

Hayman said that a number of aspects of Wickware's past led him to believe that a sentence of life in prison without parole was appropriate, particularly a June 2007 carjacking.

Authorities say Wickware was one of five people to approach a car and order a man, woman and their children out of the vehicle at gunpoint. Hayman said one of the suspects fired off a round from an AK-47 rifle before the group fled.

Wickware was later caught by police running away from the stolen vehicle. Wickware pleaded to an amended charge of receiving and concealing stolen property. The charge was dismissed after he successfully completed probation.

Hayman said that Wickware was a "threat to society to some extent" and that he was a member of a "very dangerous gang."

Wickware admitted to joining the Merrill Hood gang and began carrying a gun when he was 15 after dropping out of school. He also admitted to illegally using marijuana, ecstasy and Xanax.

Authorities say that Wickware attended 9-10 different schools and was suspended a total of 14 times -- mostly for assaulting and fighting other students. His final suspension was for 120 days for striking a school security guard.

"I'm disappointed with the court's ruling," said Wickware's attorney, Jodi Hemingway. "Some of the evidence that went against Juwan was actually favorable to him."

Hemingway pointed to testimony that showed Wickware had difficulty adjusting to life after being all-but-abandoned by his father and raised by a mother who struggled to provide for him and his three other siblings.

"He's not responsible for the circumstances of his childhood," Hemingway said.

Officials said that Wickware struggled academically, has an IQ of 71 and is functionally illiterate.

Witnesses testified during the trial that one teen who was charged but eventually acquitted by a jury fired a .40-caliber pistol and Wickware fired a .22-caliber rifle at Nettles April 7, 2010, near the corner of Sonny Avenue and Sterling Street.

A .40-caliber bullet was found in Nettles and .22-caliber bullet casings were found at the scene.

Testimony showed that Nettles was shot eight times.

Nettles was robbed and killed while delivering a pizza that was ordered by Quantageah Penegar, who was with Wickware and the other teen at a home next door to where the shooting occurred. Penegar said Wickware and the other teen are the two who robbed Nettles.

A woman who was in Nettles' Jeep with him as he delivered pizza said that Nettles was initially shot in the back outside of the vehicle. He then made it back inside the Jeep, where he was shot again.

Nettles managed to drive away from the scene before his vehicle came to a rest after crashing into a fire hydrant.

Hayman said Wickware was "in the thick" of the "very egregious" robbery and murder.

Leyton said Hayman handled the case appropriately and that it was watched by other prosecutors and by legislators trying to get the state's mandatory sentencing statutes to comply with the Supreme Court's decision.

State Rep. Joseph Haveman, R-Holland, has introduced legislation that would provide judicial discretion when it comes to sentencing juvenile offenders.

"The judge has a better handle on things than the Michigan Legislature," Haveman said, adding that not all cases are clear-cut and that sentencing should not take a one-size-fits-all approach.

Haveman said history shows that the philosophy of locking offenders up and throwing away the key has been a failure -- leaving nothing but large bills and continuously high crime rates in its wake.

"Some people -- let me emphasize, some people -- need a second chance," Haveman said.

Devin Schindler, a professor of law at Lansing-based Cooley Law School, said Hayman's ruling in this case could have an impact on similar cases across the state.

"Any ruling by this judge would not be binding on other circuit courts," Schindler said, adding that a binding ruling wouldn't be established until the state Court of Appeals rules on the issue. "But, the judge would provide a map for the other courts."

Marsha Levick, the deputy director and chief counsel of the Philadelphia-based Juvenile Law Center, said that Michigan is not the only state forced to respond to the Supreme Court's decision.

Levick, who filed an amicus brief in the Supreme Court case, said 28 states were affected by the court's ruling, but only nine or 10 have so far responded by changing their laws. She added there is a push under way to include standardized guidelines on how the individualized sentencing hearings should be conducted.

"We read (the Supreme Court decision) expecting life without parole sentences will be quite uncommon and rare," Levick said.

However, Amnesty International, a human rights group that also submitted an amicus brief to the Supreme Court, issued a statement following Hayman's decision calling for a complete end to juvenile life sentences without parole.

"The sentencing hearings aren't enough to bring the United States in line with international law, which prohibits life without parole for anyone under the age of 18," the organization's statement said. "Amnesty International calls on the Michigan state Legislature to abolish life without parole for children, under all circumstances."

Haveman's legislation is slated to be discussed next week, but the legislator said he doesn't expect it to be passed into law anytime soon.

"We've got a long way to go," said Haveman.

Man Got Locked Up While Girlfriend Went Into Labor!

Macea Saunders holding his newborn son. He was pretty upset that the law declined his offer to escort him and his laboring girlfriend to the hospital. 

Over in Pittsburgh, a bittersweet happy ending for a man and his girlfriend. As he was riding in the nearby suburb of Pleasant Hills, the man knew his girlfriend was going into labor. He tried to flag down an officer for an escort to the nearest hospital.

He didn't think that the officer would check his status as a wanted suspect. So he got the cuffs on him and his girlfriend got a ride by ambulance to the hospital. Although she gave birth to a healthy boy, the father who was released hours later wasn't there to see the miracle.

He and his girlfriend are pissed and they want to know why the Pleasant Hills police wanted to be such dicks.

WPXI reports that Shayla Crews, gave birth to a son Monday, but her boyfriend, and father of the baby, Macea Saunders, was not there.

“I just thought about him being there, and he wasn’t there. I could start crying now.  Just thinking about it makes me emotional,” said Crews.

The Pittsburgh-area couple said they flagged down a police officer to escort them to the hospital.

“My contractions were so close together that I didn’t think I was going to make it to the hospital, so we pulled over and flagged him down.  He came up behind us and turned his lights on,” said Crews.

Saunders said the officer then took the frantic father-to-be in custody.

Shayla Crews and Macea Saunders together with their child. They have a memorable experience to say at least.

“He pulled me out of the car. Before he asked me what my name was, he pulled me to the back of the trunk and started questioning me,” he said.

Pleasant Hills police said, “Saunders was wanted out of Washington County for aggravated assault.  He became agitated and used profane language.  That's why he was taken into custody."

Police said Saunders was also driving with a suspended license.

Saunders said he wasn’t notified about an outstanding warrant.

He was released from jail a day after the birth, he said.

Repeat Offender?

If at first.....

If you're done serving a bid in the iron college and happen to be released after 15, what do you do?

I guess if you're the foolish Christopher Miller, you go back to the same store and rob it again.

In the stupid files, Christopher Miller is currently in Ocean County lockup for robbing a Stride Ride store that he apparently robbed almost a decade ago.

Police say he became a free man on Friday and celebrated by catching a bus to Toms River and, yes, robbing the same Stride Rite shoe store, reports the Star-Ledger. Though he had 15 years to stew over what went wrong the first time, authorities say this robbery didn't go so well, either. Two employees were so slow in handing over cash that the "agitated" robber grabbed the register drawer himself and fled on foot, reports the Ocean County Signal. (The employees refused to hand over their keys, scotching any hopes for a getaway vehicle.)

Miller took cellphones belonging to a 17-year-old boy and a 43-year-old woman before fleeing on foot.

"He was not armed but just made a verbal threat," police spokesman Ralph Stocco said. He said that Miller became agitated when the employees did not move as quickly as he liked.

They called the cops—the apparent plan was to tie them up in a storage room, as happened in the 1999 robbery, but the employees refused to go—and within minutes, a police K-9 unit tracked down Williams and recovered the stolen $389, reports the Daily Record. Miller is charged with robbery and is being held on $100,000 bond. The 40-year-old is from Tulsa, Okla., and police aren't sure what his connection is to Toms River, besides maybe nostalgia.

According to state Department of Corrections records and news accounts from the time, Miller was living in Toms River when he was convicted for theft in 1997.

Incarcerated at the Stokes Unit of the Mountainview Youth Correctional Facility in Montague, he escaped from a work detail in June of that year. He was apprehended a few days later to serve out that term.

GOP Obstruction Claims Another Obama Nominee!

The racist right reacts to Obama's nominee for U.S. Attorney for Civil Rights. His confirmation was declined when seven lily liver Democrats sided with the ignorance endorsed Republican minority.

Just because someone defended an accused criminal doesn't mean the person is the criminal.

But in this case, the racist right once again rears its ugly head in the confirmation hearing Debo Adegbile.

Adegbile, a nominee for the position of U.S. Attorney for Civil Rights was rejected by Republicans and seven Democrats over the accusation of him being linked to a "cop killer".

The racist right managed to scream bloody murder of a limited role Adegbile played in the trial of Mumia Abu-Jamal. Abu-Jamal was convicted in 1981 for the murder of a Philadelphia police officer.

Senators Mitch McConnell (R-KY), Orin Hatch (R-UT), John Cornyn (R-TX) and John Barrasso (R-WY).

Abu-Jamal was heading for the gas house, but was commuted to life in the iron college back in 2012. Now he's presence once again riles up the racist right.

Mumia Abu-Jamal (pka Wesley Cook) became involved in black nationalism in his youth, and was a member of the Black Panther Party until October 1970. Alongside his political activism, he became a radio journalist, eventually becoming president of the Philadelphia Association of Black Journalists. On December 9, 1981, Officer Daniel Faulkner was shot dead while conducting a traffic stop on Abu-Jamal's brother, William Cook. Abu-Jamal was injured by a shot from Faulkner and when further police arrived on the scene, he was arrested and charged with first degree murder.

Senator Jeff Session (R-Alabama).

The seven voted with 44 Republicans to sustain a procedural roadblock against the nomination of Adegbile, a former director at the Legal Defense Fund of the civil rights group NAACP, to head the Justice Department's civil rights division.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid eventually joined the seven fellow Democrats in a maneuver to preserve his right to bring up the nomination again. The final vote was 47 for and 52 against, with 51 votes needed for the nomination to proceed.

The vote was a tough one for Democrats, many of whom face challenges in elections in November and are leery of allowing themselves to be portrayed as soft on crime.

This is reported by Reuters.

Of course, this is what the Republican Party does. They literally act like a bunch of idiots.

Dumba**es Robbed Laboring Pregnant Woman In MD!

Conservatives riled up over Black men robbing a laboring pregnant woman at gunpoint.

The American public will be happy to know that the woman did gave labor to her child. The bad thing that occurred were two dumb ass robbers tried to jack her up!

In the racial world of Matt Drudge (who I refer to as That Guy Who Throws Shit To The Wall), he gives his readers another indirect attack on the Black community.

It's no surprise of the alliance between the conservative agitator and his racist allies.

He and the racist right work hand in hand trying to point out the issue of Black on White violence. A theme that's run popular in the conservative blogosphere and the white supremacist circles.

Anyone who is practically conservative has clicked on these stories. A conservative has a voluntary outrage against the individual and then turns the situation into a political event. The conservative types up a word vomit or heads to the camera and post a video complaining!

Cornell Robinson and his partner tried to rob a pregnant woman. This story already got the racist right senses tingling.

Of course they'll throw in the name of President Barack Obama in every statement that's typed or watched.

The racist right doesn't believe they're the racist. After all in their minds, "US BLACK FOLK" are mooching off "da gubmint!"

In Annapolis, MD, police arrest two people for an armed robbery of a pregnant woman in labor.

An eyewitness called police at around 4:30 a.m. after seeing a man and pregnant woman being held at gunpoint in the 1800-block of Copeland Street.

The woman was going into labor prior to the robbery and was transported to Anne Arundel Medical Center.

When officers arrived on scene, one of the victims pointed to the suspects fleeing the neighborhood in a stolen vehicle.

Davery Kelley was caught after he tried to rob a pregnant woman. He already stirred the ignorance nest. The racist right already blaming President Barack Obama for this event.

Officers pursued the vehicle to Tyler Court, where the driver and passenger abandoned the vehicle and fled on foot.

During the chase the suspects threw a gun from the vehicle, which was recovered by officers. After a brief foot chase both the driver and the passenger were arrested.

Devery Kelley, 24, of Annapolis and Cornell Robinson, 44, of Washington, D.C. are being held at the Annapolis Police Department. Charges are pending.

CBS Baltimore reports this story along with the Associated Press.

ABC News And Drake Fixes Troubled School!

Philadelphia school makes a drastic turnaround.

ABC News and rapper/entertainer Drake helped breathe new life into a struggling Philadelphia school.

Nightline covered the Strawberry Mansion High School in North Philadelphia. This school was on the brink of total destruction until one principal and her caring heart saved it from being closed indefinitely

. In April 1992 the school had 1,600 students both middle and high school grades. 65% were from low income families. At that time the school had a high dropout rate. That year the school had a Business Academy, a "school within a school" teaching students job skills and preparing them for further education and immediate post-graduation employment.

In May 2013 the school had 435 students. At that time 92 students were in the graduating class and 55 of them were accepted to community colleges and/or four year universities. Some of them were unable to afford the deposit fees. The school was listed on the State of Pennsylvania's list of "persistently dangerous high schools".

Drake encourages Strawberry Mansion students to have hope.

ABC News reports that Strawberry Mansion High School, where 94 security cameras line the hallways and metal detectors are posted at every door, was once considered one of the most dangerous schools in the country.

Located in a poor Philadelphia neighborhood with a high crime rate, Strawberry Mansion consistently appeared on Pennsylvania's "Persistently Dangerous Schools" list.

But for the first time in six years, that's no longer the case.

"We're off the 'Persistently Dangerous' list. We're very happy about that," said Principal Linda Cliatt-Wayman. "So we know we have a system in place that can curtail the violence. We know that."

School officers said they watched for razor blades in tin foil and knives in backpacks. Some students had to empty their pockets before being cleared to go to class.

It was Cliatt-Wayman's first year as principal -- the fourth principal for the high school in as many years.

A strong principal that cares. Thanks Linda Cliatt-Wayman.

When ABC News' special report aired, there had been 49 incidents during the school year, from fires to teacher attacks, reported in or near the school. ABC News cameras captured students brawling in the cafeteria and being bullied, as well as students who shared their dreams of going to college, but couldn't afford to.

But after the special, a tidal wave of generosity from viewers helped breathe new life into Strawberry Mansion. Money donated by viewers helped to pay for school uniforms and to provide 13 scholarships for seniors heading off to college, as well as basic necessities that were missing at Strawberry Mansion, including books, notebooks and calculators.

It touched Drake so much, he vowed that he'll build a recording studio inside the school.

Amiri Baraka Passes Away!

Famed poet and activist Amiri Baraka passed away.

Over the past few days, there's been talk about the New Jersey Republican governor Chris Christie and his ties to a deliberate traffic tie up at the George Washington Bridge to get revenge on the Fort Lee mayor.

While this is the talk of the nation, a famed and yes controversial poet named Amiri Baraka died on January 9, 2014. Baraka born Everett LeRoi Jones was an American writer of poetry, drama, fiction, essays and music criticism. He was the author of numerous books of poetry and taught at a number of universities, including the State University of New York at Buffalo and the State University of New York at Stony Brook. He received the PEN Open Book Award, formerly known as the Beyond Margins Award, in 2008 for Tales of the Out and the Gone.

Baraka's poetry and writing has attracted both extreme praise and condemnation. Within the African-American community, some compare him to James Baldwin and call Baraka one of the most respected and most widely published Black writers of his generation.

Others have said his work is an expression of violence, misogyny, homophobia and racism.

Baraka's brief tenure as Poet Laureate of New Jersey (2002–03), involved controversy over a public reading of his poem "Somebody Blew Up America?" and accusations of anti-semitism, and some negative attention from critics, and politicians.

Baraka read his 2001 poem on the September 11th attacks "Somebody Blew Up America?", which was criticized for anti-Semitism and attacks on public figures. Because there was no mechanism in the law to remove Baraka from the post, the position of state poet laureate was officially abolished by the State Legislature and Governor McGreevey.

Baraka collaborated with hip-hop group The Roots on the song "Something in the Way of Things (In Town)" on their 2002 album Phrenology.

He first married Hettie Cohen, with whom he had two daughters, Kellie Jones (b. 1959) and Lisa Jones (b.1961). Baraka would author an acclaimed, controversial play Dutchman, in which a white woman accosts a black man on the New York subway. The play premiered in 1964 and received the Obie Award for Best American Play in the same year.

After the assassination of Malcolm X in 1965, Baraka left his wife and their two children and moved to Harlem. Now a "black cultural nationalist," he broke away from the predominantly white Beats and became very critical of the pacifist and integrationist Civil Rights movement. His revolutionary poetry now became more controversial.

Baraka married his second wife, Sylvia Robinson, who later adopted the name Amina Baraka.

In 1967, he lectured at San Francisco State University. The year after, he was arrested in Newark for having allegedly carried an illegal weapon and resisting arrest during the 1967 Newark riots, and was subsequently sentenced to three years in prison.

Baraka's daughter Shani (Amina) with , aged 31, and her lesbian partner, Rayshon Homes, were murdered in the home of Shani's sister, Wanda Wilson Pasha, by Pasha's ex-husband, James Coleman. Prosecutors argued that Coleman shot Shani because she had helped her sister separate from her husband.

A New Jersey jury found Coleman (also known as Ibn El-Amin Pasha) guilty of murdering Shani Baraka and Rayshon Holmes, and he was sentenced to 168 years in prison for the 2003 shooting.

Amiri Baraka died on January 9, 2014, at Beth Israel Medical Center in Newark, New Jersey, after being hospitalized in the facility's intensive care unit for one month prior to his death. The cause of death was not reported initially, but it is mentioned that Baraka had a long struggle with diabetes.

Later reports indicated that he died from complications after a recent surgery.

Baraka's funeral will be held at Newark Symphony Hall on January 18, 2014.

We here at Journal de la Reyna send our condolences to the family of Amiri Baraka.

Jeezy Trap Smacking His Own Kid!

Papa Jeezy whooped his son's ass and could pay the price for that!

Man, Jeezy is loosing his mind, literally.

I'm almost shocked and not too surprised by the news that the Atlanta rapper got his ass in county lockup after a domestic abuse accusation. The rapper has a rap sheet longer than his mixtape series.

In how to be a dumb ass entertainer news, Young Jeezy gets into with his own son. He's threatened to put a slug in his own blood after a domestic dispute.

I mean, he's proud to be a Trap Star. He's the Snowman, don't you know?

Soon he'll be the guy in the iron college if he's gets the book thrown at him.

Jeezy was arrested in Atlanta for battery, false imprisonment, and making terroristic threats against his own son ... TMZ has learned. According to the charging documents -- obtained by TMZ -- Jeezy got into a fight with his son in a bathroom and he threw his son into the glass shower door, causing the son to hit his head.

Then Jeezy allegedly punched him in the face, dragged him into the bedroom, threw him on the bed and pummeled him. According to the incident report, Jeezy's son attempted to escape but the rapper's bodyguard blocked the stairwell.

The docs go on -- claiming Jeezy subsequently choked his son and said, "I will kill you." According to police docs, Jeezy's son claims his dad said, "I will put a bullet in your head right now," adding, "If I could get away with it, I would kill you." The incident allegedly occurred in Sept., 2012. We've learned Jeezy turned himself in to authorities Friday after a grand jury warrant for each charge was issued.

He bonded out soon after for $45,000. Jeezy's attorney tells TMZ, "We have no doubt this matter will resolve itself appropriately. At this moment, Mr. [Jay] Jenkins is thankful for the support of his fans and the respect for his family's privacy.

Jeezy has expressed frustration with his own label situation at Def Jam Records. He has threatened to provide fans with "an early X-Mas present" if the situation doesn't change.

Maybe this is a way to get dropped off the legendary label! Who knows?

Yeah, father of the year, people!

Mazaradi Fox Passes Away!

Rapper Mazaradi Fox was gunned down.

A Queens-based rapper and promoter for 50 Cent's G-Unit label was gunned down over the weekend.

We here at Journal de la Reyna send our condolences to the family of Mazaradi Fox.

The New York Daily News reports that Jamal Green aka Mazaradi Fox, age 42 was gunned down on Friday. He was killed at Farmers Blvd. and 134th Ave. in the Jamaica neighborhood of Queens about 4:10 p.m. when the shooter rolled up to his white SUV and opened fire.

Police sources said Fox, released from prison just two weeks ago, stumbled out of the Nissan SUV and collapsed in a driveway.

Three other people in the SUV were wounded, including a 21-year-old man who was hit in the neck and shoulder and was in critical condition, police said. A second man, age 22, was wounded in the arm, and the fourth victim, a woman in her 20s — believed to be Fox’s daughter according to thisis50.com — suffered a graze wound to the neck, police said.

Paramedics rushed the survivors to Jamaica Hospital.

Mazaradi Fox short lived freedom from the iron college turned out to be worse than expected. After serving two years for an attempted assault he was sent up the river. He was also convicted of attempted murder in 1998, according to court records.

James Rosemond (aka Jimmy Henchmen) is in federal time out. Did he order a hit on Mazaradi Fox?

He was a childhood friend of 50 Cent and was affiliated with the “In Da Club” rapper’s crew G-Unit. A spokesman for 50 Cent’s record company said Fox never signed with the label.

He ultimately parted company with 50 Cent and started his own rap label, Dumout, according to thisis50.com.

"We're sorry to hear about the tragic news. Our sympathy goes out to his family and friends. Despite reports, he was never on the G-Unit record label," says a representative for G-Unit. "50 Cent was in his New York studio and was saddened when he heard the news. He sends his condolences to Mazaradi's family," said a rep for 50-Cent.

50 Cent was in his New York studio when he heard Fox was murdered.

“Saddened by the news of Mazaradi’s tragic passing,” he tweeted. “My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends.”

A police source indicated the Fox slaying was possibly gang-related.

Five years ago, Fox pumped two .25-caliber bullets into Queens gangbanger Rashawn Carter, authorities said. The victim survived the shooting. Charged with attempted murder, Fox was later convicted of attempted assault and sent to prison.

50 Cent and Mazaradi Fox.

In a bizarre twist, Carter was then executed in a brazen February 2010 street hit witnessed by the local precinct commander.

“What a stroke of luck,” one police source dryly observed. “The person you were trying to kill gets killed by someone else.”

A woman answering the door Saturday at Fox’s Queens home said they were mourning his violent loss.
“We miss him,” she said. “We love him.”

Fox was riding shotgun alongside his girlfriend when the shooter rolled up to his white Nissan SUV and began spraying the vehicle with bullets, cops said.

The girlfriend, who was driving, suffered a graze wound to the neck, while a 21-year-old male passenger was critically injured with bullet wounds to the neck and shoulder.

You A Felon With A Gun! Why Would You Post Yourself Holding One On The Internet?

You can't fix stupid!

Gotta to be one of the most dumbest criminals in the country. Dupree Johnson is a convicted felon. He was charged with burglary, grand theft, aggravated assault and possession with a firearm. You have no business being in possession of a firearm.

But what does the fool end up with?

And guess where he posted it?

Of course if you're Black with a gun, the cops swarm in on you. Say if you're a White guy and happen to be a devout listener of conservative talk radio and you happen to be a felon with firearms. I bet it will take a mass shooting or a plot that may involve an attack on an individual before the junk food media covers it.

Anyways the social networking websites could be the downfall of those who post embarrassing photos. A woman was forced to resign from her job as a Christian schoolteacher after it was revealed that she posed topless and someone emailed those to a "revenge porn" website.

A woman who claimed that she was not tipped because she was gay, posted the receipt online and it went viral. The woman was going on the national circuit and collecting donations from those who had empathy for her. But it was revealed that the people who allegedly refused to tip her, told the junk food media that she was tipped and they have the proof. The woman had to recant her story and was immediately fired upon the news.

Now this Dupree Johnson will probably get some time in the federal time out after he posted on Instagram about his personal hobbies. One includes himself holding a firearm. Going against his probation and giving law enforcement credence to throw his ass in the iron college.

Bling, Bling!

They weren't your typical Instagram food photos -- unless you're a person who eats lead. A sheriff in Palm Beach County, Fla., recently came across the Instagram page of Dupree Johnson, 19.

Authorities quickly issued a search warrant for Johnson's home in Lake Worth, Fla.

Deputies not only discovered a Glock underneath his bedspread and a stolen -- and loaded -- Tec-9 9mm pistol, but also $250,000 worth of stolen jewelry, electronics and and firearms, Miami New Times reported.

Investigators believe that Johnson may have been one of several people responsible for as many as 40 burglaries in 55-and-older communities in Boynton Beach, Fla., according to CBS12.com.

Holiday Woes!

Shooting at Kohl's in suburban Chicago.

The Black Friday shopping is one of the common themes for the Thanksgiving weekend. Many Americans head to the malls for the best deals. Expected are altercations and possible theft.

Police and the FBI prepare for shoplifting. They are well aware of perennial thieves who use this time as a crime of opportunity.

In suburban Chicago, Illinois there was an incident where police chased a group of shoplifters. One of the shoplifters was shot after the person dragged an officer. It was at a Kohl's Department Store in Romeoville.

The driver of the car ignored commands to stop and dragged the officer, police said. A second officer nearby fired a shot at the driver, striking him in the shoulder, Turvey said. The injured officer and the driver were hospitalized with injuries that were not thought to be life-threatening, police said.

The driver is in police custody, as are two additional suspects, police said.

Despite the shooting, shoppers were still browsing the aisles of the store where police had marked off a crime scene with orange cones out front. An unmarked police car was parked inside that boundary, behind a black Pontiac sedan with bullet holes visible in its rear driver’s-side window. Shoppers used their cell phones to snap pictures of the scene.

France May End Sex Tourism!

Prostitution is legal in France. It's illegal for the selling in the brothels, sex trade and the pimping game.

Prostitution is illegal in the United States with exception of regulated areas in the state of Nevada. It's ranges from a Class A misdemeanor to Felony 5. It would be Felony 3 if the prostitute is tested positive for HIV/AIDS or Hepatitis B.

Prostitution is the oldest profession in the world. Many women (and transgender women) sell their bodies for drugs or a debt.

Crack/cocaine, bath salts, methamphetamine and heroin are the biggest problems in the United States. Those who are arrested for solicitation for prostitution are likely drug users. The clients who are busted are often married men.

With sex tourism on high demand in Europe, the risk of sexually transmitted diseases and the possibility of human trafficking are often thought of when legislators are working on passing laws.

France is pretty much lax on the rules of prostitution.

Sorry men, it's going to be a boring vacation if France decides to pass a law that targets prostitution.

The French parliament is considering imposing heavy fines on people caught paying for sex.

Opponents say the measures will only serve to force France's sex trade further underground.

There's a rise of North African and Asian women in most of France's largest cities.

Most men travel to Eastern Europe and Southeast Asia for sex tourism. The women and children in those countries are often vulnerable to sex trafficking.

The U.S. Justice Department and Interpol are working to stop pimps and their clients from engaging in child prostitution.

Popular Football Star Kills His Lover!

Teen accused of murdering his boyfriend may get life in the iron college. Once the teen was popular student and football star at his high school.

This is one of those stories that has the writings of jealousy and malcontent. A boy who was going to be a future football star wasted it on some dumb shit. I mean if you're spurned by your lover, don't take it personal. I mean yeah, make it personal but don't end killing the lover over an argument.

This stuff happens when a man is spurned by a woman. They happen to get obsessed with the victim. They react to the rejection by threatening retaliation against the victim. They feel rejection as an insult. After all, you do all you can to please your lover and they do you like this. So the man would end up killing his woman over an issue. Say if she had another boyfriend or she is pregnant and its not your child. That stuff occurs in America.

And it also occurs in the LGBT community as well. Sometimes men (or women) are threatened by their lovers when they feel spurned. The spurned lover would do dangerous and outrageous things to their former lover.

And this type of stuff leads to the rise of domestic violence in America.

The victims killed whether in a straight or a same sex relationship use "restraining orders" against the threat.

A restraining order to a spurn a former lover is a time bomb. That time bomb will explode. They would snap when they're served with papers.

Mitchell was a popular student.

A standout football star from Connecticut is accused of murdering his boyfriend.

If convicted of murder, this young man will be serving the rest of his life in the iron college.

Tarence Mitchell, 18 years old is from Bloomfield, Connecticut makes a court appearance this week. He will be charged in the death of his 27 year old boyfriend Ronald Taylor, Jr.

Mitchell confessed to stabbing Taylor, also known as "City," five times, in his torso, at the 27-year-old's home, including leaving the knife in Taylor's back, after the teen tried to break off the relationship. The murder weapon is reported to be a steak knife. The Hartford Courant reports that Mitchell armed himself after Taylor arranged a meeting between the two, promising it "wasn't going to end well." The police report says that Mitchell chased after Taylor and continued to stab him after the 27-year-old put his hands up in the air. Mitchell reportedly suffered minor cut wounds during the ordeal, Taylor was taken to Saint Francis Hospital in Bloomfield, where he was pronounced dead, reports NBC Connecticut.

Mitchell tried to tell the law that he and the victim had been attacked by two black males.

That story didn't add up and he finally confessed.

Mitchell is being held in jail on a $1 million get out free card. Judge Joan Alexander initially set the release fee at $500,000 before raising it. The youngster doesn't suffer from any mental illness, the court heard but "he's extremely confused and upset" about Taylor's murder.

Mitchell was a popular student in his high school. Apparently, the girls loved him. And so did his lover. The lover was jealous. The victim threatened to go with a public "outing" after Mitchell was apparently trying to end the relationship. That set off the events.

Taylor went to Facebook to public shame him and that launched into the tirade with Mitchell. That led to the murder. His family denies he done this. They didn't think a kid with such an upbringing would be a murderer.

Again ignoring the "nice guy" theory. The most dangerous individual is the "nice guy".

I don't blame no one but Mitchell. If anything, I don't understand how a grown ass man would be messing with a teenage boy.

When jealous gay lovers publicly shame their "straight or nonsexual" lovers, it sparks the homophobic reactions and the denials of an affair. It could lead to violence.

90% of the time, men have sex on their minds. They don't care who they sleep with, as long as their sexual satisfactions are met, they're happy. That's probably why there's so many STDs and unwanted pregnancies in the Black community. Some people don't talk about their sexual business in public. That's why they invented the term the "down-low".

Taylor's jealousy and "public outing" is reckless. But in no way Taylor's actions should be an excuse for suspect Mitchell going crazy and killing the man.

Somehow, the young teen wasn't thinking. He had to keep a "rep" with his fellow peers. I mean he had a great time smoking weed, drinking underage and having a little "fun" with Taylor. He couldn't hide that pleasure. I mean Mitchell loved women. He was actually talking with one and that led to Taylor threatening to expose his lover after being spurned.

But in this straight culture, me and millions of Black men still pride ourselves on the masculinity. So it would ruin our street cred with the fellow Black men if one of our friends is gay. That stuff exists to this day.

Black men have to find comfort with the LGBT community. They aren't hurting me. They want to live their lives loving one another. They don't cause no problem to you regardless of what you religious beliefs are.

I mean we seriously need to look at ourselves in the mirror and figure out whether you could be a bigot but not even know it.

Again, I don't care whether you're straight, gay, bisexual or non-sexual, if you're still a human first. You're my friend regardless.

We here at Journal de la Reyna send our condolences to the family of Ronald Taylor, Jr.
