Harper Lee Passed Away!

Harper Lee passed away.

The iconic writer of the book How to Kill a Mockingbird passed away today. The Associated Press reports that Harper Lee passed away at the age of 89.

World News Today send our condolences to the family of Harper Lee.

Nelle Harper Lee was born and raised in the small town of Monroeville, Alabama, on April 28, 1926. She was the youngest of four children born to newspaper editor and lawyer Amasa Coleman Lee and homemaker Frances Cunningham Finch.

Lee grew up a tomboy. She was close childhood friends with Truman Capote, an eccentric child who would later become the famed writer of the acclaimed 1966 non-fiction work In Cold Blood and a lifelong friend to Lee.

Lee graduated high school in the spring of 1944. The following fall, she enrolled in the all-female Huntingdon College before transferring to the University of Alabama. Lee, set on pursuing a career in writing, dropped out of college in her senior year to move to New York City.

The city had a profound effect on the trajectory of Lee's writing career, connecting her with Broadway composer Michael Martin Brown who would become an important financial backer and one of her most avid supporters.

In 1956, she reunited with Capote and began work as his research assistant for a New Yorker article that later evolved into the book In Cold Blood.

That same year, Brown generously offered to financially support Lee for a year so she could focus on writing full time.

To Kill a Mockingbird found immediate success in literary circles. Peppered with autobiographical elements, Lee's debut novel was set in the mid-1930s in small-town Alabama and follows the story of precocious child Scout Finch and her father, Atticus. Atticus, a lawyer reminiscent of Lee's own father, is appointed by a judge to defend Tom Robinson, a black man accused of raping a young white woman.

To Kill a Mockingbird documents Robinson's trial and tackles the themes of racial injustice and traditional class and gender roles. The book was enthusiastically received, with the New Yorker touting it as "totally ingenious," and became an international bestseller.

Gregory Peck as Atticus Finch. Brock Peters as Tom Robinson.

The film adaptation of To Kill a Mockingbird was released in 1962 and starred Gregory Peck as Atticus Finch. The film won three Academy Awards and earned a spot in the American Film Institute's list of the greatest American movies of all time.

In 1966, President Lyndon B. Johnson appointed Lee to the National Council on the Arts. Though Lee invested time in researching and preparing new work after To Kill a Mockingbird, including a true-crime novel called The Reverend, she didn't publish another book until more than 50 years later.

In 2007, President George W. Bush awarded Lee the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the first of several high honors. She received the National Medal of Arts, presented to her by President Barack Obama, in 2010.

Lee left New York City in 2007 and moved into an assisted-living facility in her hometown of Monroeville after suffering a stroke.

Last July, Go Set a Watchman, a sequel to To Kill a Mockingbird, was released. The highly anticipated novel was Lee's second and final published book. The manuscript, thought to have been lost, was discovered in one of Lee's safety deposit boxes by her lawyer Tonja Cater in 2011.

Lee's failing health, including severe hearing and vision loss, led many to speculate that the author wasn't competent enough to sign off on the publication of Go Set a Watchman.

The Alabama Department of Human Resources launched an investigation in 2015 to examine whether elder abuse influenced the release of the sequel but ultimately determined the claims to be "unfounded."

Harper Lee kept a quiet life. Never gave many interviews and lived in Alabama as a reclusive.

Go Set a Watchman revisits a now 26-year-old Scout, who encounters intolerance in her small Alabama hometown while visiting from New York. Readers -- and Scout herself -- are surprised to find that her father, regarded by many literary critics as a fictional crusader for racial justice, has a less-than-progressive stance on race issues. Atticus argues with Scout about civil rights, telling his daughter that "the Negroes down here are still in their childhood as a people" and that black people aren't ready to vote.

The book received mostly negative reviews, as readers were shocked to find their once beloved civil rights-defending protagonist exposed as a "racist." Many critics agreed the novel could have used several more rounds of edits, calling it "unfit for print" and a "mess." Some said the "rough draft" was published only for the sake of constructing a "phony literary event."

Lee is pre-deceased by her parents, two sisters and one brother.

The author lived a private life. She never married or had children, and she rarely gave interviews.

"I want to do the best I can with the talent God gave me," Lee said in 1964. "I would like to leave some record of the kind of life that existed in a very small world."

The Feds End "Perk Time" In Georgia's Iron College!

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.

Cosby Bounced On $1 Mil!

The Cos mugshot heading to TMZ and The Smoking Gun.

The entertainer appeared in court today with cameras in tow. The 78-year old Bill Cosby was walking with a cane. He almost tripped trying to enter the Montgomery County, Pennsylvania court to be arraigned on sexual assault charges.

He posted a $1 million get out of jail free card. He also relinquished his passport.

Cosby faces a some serious charges. This has to be the biggest celebrity scandal of 2015. To see America's Dad take this nosedive is shocking. But I'm not too surprised.

He was a powerful voice in the entertainment industry. He created the hit series The Cosby Show. He inspired children with Fat Albert and The Cosby Kids. He entertained us with his comedy acts.

Now all of that comes to a bitter end.

THE END OF LAUGHTER

The conservative Craigslist once lauded Cosby's in your face reactions towards Black America. See what happens now when the conservative agitator splashes the New York Daily News hard hitting front cover.

The victim Andrea Constand decided to publicly come forth acknowledging she was a victim of a 2004 assault. The incident happened when the Temple basketball coach went to his home outside of Philadelphia.

She claimed that he gave her some alcohol with a "herbal additive". She would pass out.

No sense of knowing what's going on, she realized that Cosby was fingering her privates and groping her. She was in a paralyzed state. The two settled out of court with a disclosed amount. But the charges never went forth until now.

Andrea was one of the first women to publicly accuse the comedian of sexual misconduct. At the time, the Montgomery County district attorney declined to pursue charges. Constand later sued Cosby and they settled out of court for undisclosed terms in 2006.

Cosby is innocent until proven guilty. These charges are felonies. They can carry 2 to 15 years in the iron college. The severity of the offense could land a TIER III label on the entertainer.

Mr. Affluenza Got Caught Up!

Man who killed four on a Texas road beaten a murder rap. While on in-house, he broke the rules. Fearing a bid in the iron college, he decides to duck out of the country.  After a few weeks, he was finally caught. Will he now finally be sent to the iron college?

The thug who murdered four Texas residents while under the influence of alcohol and at the helm of a vehicle was on the run for three weeks. He was on probation for this crime. He was supposed to serve a 10 year in-house bid. He was forbidden to drink alcohol. He was forbidden to be around drugs. He was forbidden to be around criminal activity. It turns out that he ignored the sentencing.

He was caught on camera playing beer pong with his buddies. That was shared on social media and it reached his P.O.

I guess he knew his days were numbered. So he and his mother took off from their suburban Dallas home never to be heard from again.

Those three weeks came to an end. It seems like the pampered life is over for the so-called "affluenza" teen.

The Mexican authorities aided by the U.S. Marshals managed to snatch Ethan Couch out of his hiding place. CNN broke the story around 7:30 pm tonight. The country's most wanted man is now in custody and will face justice.

The U.S. Rewards for Justice wanted this man and his mother Tonya.

Mom decided to help Ethan flee the U.S. authorities. They were spotted in a vacation town of Puerto Vallarta, U.S. officials were briefed on the matter.

Couch, 18, went missing earlier this month, two years after he made national news when he was sentenced to probation for a drunken driving crash that killed four people.

Couch is expected to be turned over to the U.S. Marshals Service, who have spent weeks searching for him. A spokesman for the service declined to comment.

He is wanted by authorities in Tarrant County, Texas, for allegedly violating probation. His mother was listed by Texas authorities as a missing person after her son's disappearance, and the authorities said they believed she was assisting her son.

Mom will face a federal case for helping fugitive son escape out of the country.

A warrant had been issued for the teen to be taken into custody after his probation officer couldn't reach him earlier this month. His apparent disappearance came after a video allegedly showed him at a party where alcohol was being consumed, authorities said.

Word of the search for Couch has reignited controversy over the case, which drew widespread attention after a psychologist testified that Couch, who was 16 at the time, suffered from "affluenza," describing him as a rich kid whose parents didn't set limits for him.

Now ducking his P.O. automatically puts him in the lockup.

The charges of ducking the law and breaking the in-house time out could be severe. The charges could put him in the iron college for 25 years. Only in Texas justice, Couch could face LIFE in the iron college based on the media attention to his case.

Couch is innocent until proven guilty.

Indiana Pastor's Wife Killed! Murderer Caught!

Amanda Blackburn (right) was killed by a robbery suspect. The husband was a local pastor of a church in Indianapolis. 

The death of a preacher's wife caught the nation's attention.

Amanda Blackburn was three month pregnant when she was sexually assaulted and shot by this 18-year old Larry Taylor. Amanda was shot in cold-blood in front of her son.

Taylor along with three of his friends were involved in a burglary ring. They were targeting houses in the city of Indianapolis. They broke into homes and were stealing car keys, a laptop, and an iPhone from a home. They found a surveillance camera in the home and disconnected it. That right there was the first mistake they've made. By touching the surveillance camera, they were filmed by the camera and they left DNA on the wiring.

Taylor who had that "I don't give a fuck" mentality wanted to kill the occupant in the home because he was caught on camera. The suspects convinced him not to do it.

So they took off in a stolen ride and went into another home. They ended up robbing the home of a television, a laptop and jewelry. Then they decided to target another home. The home of Amanda and her husband Devey Blackburn the pastor of Resonate Church.

The law conducted the investigation. The suspects turned on Taylor. They said that Taylor hit Amanda in the mouth with his piece. He stayed behind as the other two used her ATM card to get money. Amanda made the fatal mistake of trying to reason with a cold blooded killer. She allegedly charged at Taylor, and he shot her at point blank range. Then he decided to put the final bullet in her head. He took joy in watching her bleed to death.

Taylor didn't know Amanda. It was just an unfortunate circumstance where a robbery was witnessed by a good samaritan and the robber wanted to leave no witnesses.

Davey returns from the gym to find his wife (the rock of his life) lying in a pool of blood. Davey made his whole life to helping the youth in the community. He and Amanda moved to the Indianapolis area a few years back to spread the gospel to the young, frustrated and abandoned.

Amanda was rushed to the hospital where she would die the next day.

Amanda was 28 at the time of her death. She was three months pregnant with her daughter. She leaves behind a son Weston and her husband Pastor Davey. Her unborn daughter Evie Grace was killed.

The law vowed to find these guys. They knew that these knuckleheads would slip up.

Larry Taylor and Jalen Watson are held on first degree murder charges. They are innocent until proven guilty. They could face the gas house if found guilty.

Their arrests ends 10 days on the run after the law vowed to put these killers in the lockup.

Taylor and 21 year old Jalen Watson are held in the Marion County Lockup on murder charges. They are cooperating with the third suspect. Name wasn't released at the time of posting. Even though the other two weren't involved in the shooting, these suspects are charged because they were involved in a criminal act that resulted in a murder.

They are innocent until proven guilty.

Pastor Davey wants to hate them. But he turned to Jesus Christ to learn forgiveness. He said that he choose love and not hate against the suspects.

Indianapolis Metro Police Department's gang and violent crime unit aided by the U.S. Marshals apprehended the suspects after they traced the usages of credit cards and DNA.

The moment I've heard gang unit, automatically assume Black suspect. Matter of fact, I expected that the conservatives and White extremist will automatically blame #BlackLivesMatter and Barack Obama for this.

Of course it merits a poll on The Blame Game.

Now that the Indianapolis Metro Police captured the suspects in the murder of Amanda Blackburn, who really takes the blame?

BARACK OBAMA

#BLACKLIVESMATTER

CONGRESS

THE SHOOTER

ALL OF THE ABOVE

Quiz Maker

Now that you made the choice, I want to make it clear, that the suspects deserve the blame. Not President Barack Obama, #BlackLivesMatter, or the NRA.

It's unfortunate that gun crime is the NUMBER ONE THREAT in the United States. This is one of many incidents where firearms were used in the death of innocents. If the Republicans and Democrats lawmakers would look at gun crime as terrorism, they would see this type of stuff happen every freaking day in their states and districts. 

These two could face the gas house if they're found guilty.

World News Today send our condolences to the family of Amanda Blackburn.

OH Darn: The State Smoked The Weed!

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 Death Of Janiya Thomas May Have Mom Facing Murder Rap!

Florida prosecutors are going to probably charge negligent mom with involuntary manslaughter. Her daughter Janiya Thomas was found inside a freezer. The state had concerns that "mother of the year" Keishanna Thomas abused her five children.

A Florida mom may face LIFE in the iron college for the involuntary death of Janiya Thomas. The woman Keishanna Thomas is being accused by the law of being a negligent mother to her five children. When the law removed the children from her home, they were wondering where's Janiya?

The mother clammed up. She didn't know anything. For all she knew, Janiya ran away.

The little girl was missing for over a year. Today, the junk food media broke the news. A tragic ending came when the law found the body of a child inside a freezer found inside a backyard. The law found probable cause to charge the mother.

Janiya and her four siblings were victims of abuse. Now Florida may put this mom in the clinker because of her bad parenting.

The Bradenton Police have put Thomas in lockup. Thomas charged with contempt of court for refusing to produce her daughter or tell a judge whether the girl was alive.

The case began Sept. 23, when Janiya's brother, a 12-year-old boy, reported that his mother was abusing him, Racky said.

Child protective workers removed four children, between 2 and 15 years old, from the Thomas’ home, and realized from previous work with the family that Janiya was missing.

Keishanna Thomas is also being held on an aggravated child abuse charge, according to jail records.

Janiya suffered from a digestive disorder that involved uncontrollable bowel movements, and her mother kept her in a bathroom, Brandenton police spokesman James Racky said.

Janiya’s grandmother and aunt heard a news report that the girl was missing, they broke open the locked freezer to find the little girl's body. The girl has suffocated inside the freezer.

He said police have determined the identity of a man who helped move the freezer to the grandmother’s house on Wednesday and hope he will be able to identify the body and explain why it was moved.

World News Today send our condolences to the family of Janiya Thomas. The little girl's life was cut short by an unintentional accident. Now the consequences will have her mother spending the rest of her life in the iron college. If found guilty, this mother may never see her four other children grow up.

Tupac Shakur's Letters From Lockup!

The Tupac Shakur letters from Clinton Correctional go up for sale.

The life and trials of Tupac Amuru Shakur. The controversial rapper's death on the Las Vegas strip was almost 20 years ago. The FBI and Las Vegas Police have not solved this case.

The rapper was gunned down after leaving a Mike Tyson fight. He was the passenger in the vehicle and Big Suge Knight was the driver. They were hit with gunfire. Tupac was hit five times and would be rushed to the hospital. According to the family members and friends, the rapper was put in a coma and stayed alive until they declared his injuries fatal.

The assailants were allegedly members of the domestic terrorist group The Crips. They haven't gotten any good leads. Big Suge right now isn't talking. He's sticking to the G-code despite him facing LIFE in the iron college after he was accused of vehicular homicide which was bumped to murder.

There's talk about a movie being in the works.

Before his death, he was riding high on Death Row Records. The record label helped propel Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Tha Dogg Pound and Tupac Shakur into pop culture. It also earned a notorious reputation for being a front for domestic terrorism. The now jailed former honcho Marion "Suge" Knight was the motivator of the label. He was the muscle and the brains behind the label. Dr. Dre, the co-founder was the producer of most of the Death Row albums until his departure in late 1995. Big Suge had connections to the domestic terrorist group The Bloods. The Bloods had a strong influence on the label.

Big Suge's influence helped Tupac get a "free card". When he was being held up on a sexual assault charge, Big Suge's connections managed to get him out. Almost immediately, Tupac signed a deal to Death Row and release the All Eyez On Me album in 1996.

While he was in the iron college, he wrote letters to his friends and some of the junk food media.

Some of his letters were obtained through an organization willing to sell these items to the right bidder. One letter is going on sale for a hefty bid.

Eight months after the album's release, he would be murdered. Around the time of his death, Death Row released Makaveli: The Don Killuminati The 7 Day Theory. The album release came five weeks after Tupac's murder.

Tupac wrote to Nina Bhadreshwar, a staffer at his record label, Death Row Records. That five-page letter is now for sale for $225,000 from Moments In Time, the New York Post reports. He opens by noting that he's replying to a letter from Bhadreshwar, who worked for Death Row Uncut magazine and her own publication. "I am not granting this information to any other publication, not even Time & Rolling Stone so please represent it as it is layed," Shakur wrote. "I trust u."

He went on to explain that black males in America grow from "young dustkicker" to "thug nigga" to "boss playa" and that "many niggaz never survive the second level of thuglife." He wrote that he himself almost didn't. "A regular Playa plays women, a Boss Playa plays life. A Boss Playa is a thinker, a leader, a builder, a moneymaker, a souljah, a teacher and most of all, a Man! I want all my homiez to know there is another level, it takes heart and courage 2 stand alone face the demons and make a change!" So, since "in my heart the thug nigga has advanced to be a Boss Playa," he wrote, "Thug Life is not dead but in my heart it is."

What Happened To Terrell Day?

Teen dies in police custody. Family demands answers to his death.

Indianapolis Police are investigating the tragic death of an 18-year old teen who died in custody.

Apparently he had a heart attack while in police custody. The death of Terrell Day is getting national exposure after Black Lives Matter got involved in his death.

He was suspect in a shoplifting of a Burlington Coat Factory. He allegedly pointed a firearm at the security guard. He was quickly apprehended. I guess something went wrong on his way to lockup.

The medic and the law determined he was faking this and sent him to lockup. They ignored his calls.


He was admitted to lockup. The next day he would turn up in the back of an ambulance, dead.

"Despite the best life-saving efforts by the EMS crew, the suspect died in the back of the ambulance," the statement added.

Indianapolis Emergency Medical Services chief Charles Miramonti offered "sincere condolences" in the statement. Miramonti said a "full internal investigation" has been launched but that he was "confident the highest level of response and care was provided."

Police said that when the man told officers he was having trouble breathing, an ambulance was called. The responding EMTs assessed Day and determined he could be taken on to processing "via jail wagon," according to the statement.

Day again complained of breathing difficulties when the jail wagon arrived and a second ambulance was called but his "condition deteriorated," police said.

Now Indianapolis Police along with state investigators are determining who ignored the suspect's request for medical treatment.

#IfIDieInPoliceCustody is a trending hashtag. It became a trend after the deaths of Freddie Gray and Sandra Bland.

Freddie Gray was severely injured in a scuffle with police. Freddie complained of injuries but was ignored by the officers. He was arrested and transported to city lockup. The officers are being charged with homicide and manslaughter, Sandra who was arrested after a routine traffic stop died while spending a night in a Texas county lockup. They claim that she committed suicide.

Now it seems like there's many more incidents like this. The law ignoring a suspect's request for treatment when asked.

Yeah, a fraction of the suspects may lie about being injured. But seriously, the law should take everything into consideration.

My son died and I want answers. 

Day's mother, Shanika Askew, said her son had not been suffering from any health problems or ever had asthma.

The Marion County bag 'em ups said that he had a heart attack. Tests are still pending on whether he had other medical issues or narcotics in his blood.

You know what happens when this becomes a viral story!

The concern trolls will come out the woodwork. The concern trolls would often rush to claiming that if Terrell didn't shoplift or point the gun, he wouldn't end up dead.

The concern trolls will find some way to blame President Barack Obama, Al Sharpton and Black Lives Matter for rushing to judgement. The concern trolls will say that I give comfort to criminals.

No, I don't! I just think rationally before jumping to conclusions.

Yeah, we all believe in the justice system. If he was alive, he would go to trial. He is innocent until proven guilty. The system is assured that everyone in custody deserves a fair trial.

I believe in the U.S. Constitution as well. No one is above the law. That includes those in law enforcement. I believe that Terrell had a right to ask for medical treatment regardless of a cop's concerns that he'll escape.

The cruel and unusual punishment clause of the Eighth Amendment states that a suspect should be able to access needs in the case of an emergency or file a grievance against treatment while in lockup.

The concern trolls will find some reason to say that his life doesn't matter. The racist right will hit the hate web calling him a "Nigger", "gorilla" or "thug." The racist right will advocate for more guns in the hands of White vigilantes.

His death in police custody has sparked feverish debate on police brutality. The law often releases talking points to the junk food media justifying the incident as fault of the suspect and not those who arrested him.

Insurgent Lawmaker Wants Willie Horton In Every Democratic District!

Insurgent lawmaker wants to put more prisoners in a competitive district.

Republican Florida State Rep. Janet Akins admits that she's no fan of U.S. Rep. Corrine Brown (D-FL). Akins wants to make it clear that Republicans can take her out. Brown represents the 5th Congressional District. The lawmaker resides in consolidated city-county of Jacksonville.

Her district is an example of extreme gerrymandering. She represents four metropolitan areas. Jacksonville population 843,000 is a majority Black city. Orlando population 258,000 is a tourist playground. Gainsville population 132,000 is a majority college town. Sanford population 60,000 is where the Trayvon Martin/George Zimmerman controversy occurred.

Brown's district is by far, the most controversial district in U.S. history.

Since in the inept Republicans took control of Congress and state governorships, they have the power to redistrict areas to their advantage.

The Supreme Court has limited a state party's majority control of the redrawing districts. At any given time, an independent agency could step in and make the districts more competitive and fair to those who reside in traditional holds.

Congresswoman Corrine Brown (D-FL)

Talking Points Memo got the dirt on this insurgent's closed door meeting. At the North Florida Republican caucus, Adkins said, "It's the perfect storm. You draw it in such a fashion so perhaps, a majority, or maybe not a majority, but a number of them will live in the prisons, thereby not being able to vote."

Of course this was recorded on tape and handed off to The Politico.

The Politico ran with it and of course the liberal agitators got wind of it. Now the Florida Republicans quickly put the muzzle on Adkins.

At first, she didn't expect the place to be bugged. Adkins made sure there were no reporters in the room before she made her comments, according to the report.

Rep. Corrine Brown (D-FL), who is black, has filed a lawsuit to challenge the proposed redrawing of her district. She also told the Florida Senate Redistricting Committee that she was concerned that redrawing her district to include more prisons would lower its black voting population from 50 to 45 percent, according to Politico.

When Politico approached Adkins, who is white, about the comments she made on the recording, she said she was having a "private conversation" and noted that she does not serve on the state House redistricting committee.

Adkins said in a statement released later Wednesday that she was simply trying to explain what had been discussed in a special session on redistricting.

“My comments regarding the proposed realignment of congressional district five (as recommended by the Florida Supreme Court) were an attempt to explain some of issues that came up in debate during the redistricting special session,” Adkins wrote in a statement, as quoted by The Florida Times-Union. “I apologize if my statements offended anyone. Because congressional redistricting is a pending legal issue, I will not comment on this matter any further.”

Now you see what your local officials are doing behind closed doors. Imagine how the Republican led states waste our taxpayer dollars on trying to hold on to their power.

These are the people who get drive drunk and cause accidents on the road. These are the people who snort cocaine and then ask the poor to take drug tests for entitlements. These are the people who have children out of wedlock and yet bitch about the single mother who raising more than four children.

Gerrymandering in action. Rep. Corrine Brown represents the 5th U.S. Congressional district. A partisan drawn region that stretches over 200 miles.

These are the people who get arrested for shoplifting but tell you to get a job when you can't afford baby formula or cough syrup. These are the people who wrap themselves around the Chinese made American flags saying that in order to win elections, they would create controversies to frame an opponent or themselves.

These are the people who use the Bible in passing intrusive laws. But scream that Shir'a law is way worse than passing a state religion or religious indoctrination in public schools.

This is the Republican Party well on its way to extinction. Supporting an entertainer who shouts insults instead of policies is how brain dead the Republican Party is.

Sorry, if you continue to vote Republican, either you're a racist or you're just too damn stupid to understand.

By the way, the Democrats are no better. They are a joke as well. I wouldn't support any of these candidates for president. They all freaking suck.

What's your thoughts on this insurgent's negative comments about her constituents?

How Adkin's deliberate attempt to defeat Rep. Brown verifies the Democrats complaints about voter intimidation?

Bad Blood: Georgia Sons Tried To Murder Parents!

Two brothers tried to murder their parents. The law put them in lockup.

I guess it's going to be awkward at these family reunions. Two suburban Atlanta men are held in the county lockup for attempted murder. The attempted murder of their parents. 

Damn, why would you murder the parents? Were you guys loosing the allowance?

Anyway, here's the rundown of the situation. The brothers Cameron and Chris Ervin both got charges out the ass. They attacked their parents after a heated dispute. 

Yvonne Ervin called 911 Saturday morning and reported that she and husband Zachary were being attacked in their own home.

The perpetrators, she told police, were their own children. They were giving their parents a five finger knuckle roll alongside a toe jam side order.

"(Yvonne Ervin) stated to our 911 operator that her sons were trying to kill her and her husband," Gwinnett County Police Sgt. Rich Long told CNN.

But quick thinking from both mother and father enabled Yvonne to briefly escape from their sons long enough to call for help.

"(Yvonne Ervin) told the 911 operator that (her husband) had distracted the sons and that she was able to call," said Long. "That was probably the life-saving move from this event."

When police arrived at the Ervin family home in suburban Snellville northeast of Atlanta, "Zachary came out of the garage and collapsed," said Long. "He had a lot of head and body injuries from blunt force trauma and stab wounds on his back." Zachary Ervin was hospitalized in critical condition. Long said he and Yvonne are expected to survive.

Brothers got angry at parents. They tried to murder them.

Police said the sons -- both of whom lived at home with them, according to CNN affiliate WSB -- were at the house when officers arrived, and the two were immediately arrested.

As brutal as the attack on the parents was, that wasn't the full extent of it, according to police. The sons also plotted to burn the home down, and had "introduced natural gas into the house," Long said.

Christopher (age 22) and Cameron Ervin (age 17) have each been charged with two counts of felony aggravated assault and two felony counts of first degree arson, according to Long. Under Georgia state law, 17-year-olds are considered adults in criminal cases, so both will be tried as adults, said Long, who added that investigators still don't know of any motive.

"There is no official motive at this point, but there has to be something more to this. I'm sure they didn't just wake up and decide to kill their parents yesterday," Long said on Sunday.

WSB reported the brothers were to be appointed defense attorneys Sunday, but it was not immediately clear if that had happened or who the attorneys are. Long said both suspects are expected to be in court at some point this week.

Gucci Mane: Never Count GuWop Out!

GuWop ain't tired. Gucci Mane continues to release albums and mixtapes while serving his federal time out. He plans on releasing a movie and two new albums.

Atlanta's own Gucci Mane (Radric Davis) is over in Indiana at the Terre Haute Federal Time Out serving the firearm with disability charge.

The King Of East Atlanta managed to hire a great attorney. On that federal charge he was suppose to get a twenty year lock down. But it turns out that he will get anger management and treatment.

Gucci will serve 3.6 years in federal time out.

He will be out in June 2017.

While he's in the federal time out, he released albums and mixtapes.

Gucci Mane released over 28 studio albums, 45 mixtapes, and three extended play albums. He plans on releasing five more mixtapes, two albums and one movie.

I am guessing on good behavior and being a notable celebrity, Gucci can have some access to the social media with the feds watching of course.

He also went to Linkdin to sign up for career assistance.

The incident in 2013 was a binge moment for Gucci. The Atlanta Police busted Gucci when he was was hanging out with a friend, and was behaving "erratically." This friend then decided to call the police to help him out. When the police arrived, Gucci began cursing and threatening them.

Authorities then took Gucci into custody and upon searching him, they found marijuana and a handgun on him. Gucci was then booked on charges of carrying a concealed weapon, possession of marijuana, and disorderly conduct. He was reportedly hospitalized following the arrest.

Before his transfer to federal time out, he got served up 183 days in jail.

He revealed to the public he's been fighting drug abuse and bipolar disorder. He apologized to his fans about his behavior and manned up.

Granted the misdemeanor charges of disorderly conduct were reduced,

I admit I am a fan of Gucci Mane. Here's a list of my favorite Gucci albums.

1) Trap God
2) The Return of Mr. Zone 6
3) The Diary of a Trap God
4) Free Bricks (with Future)
5) Free Bricks II (with Young Scooter)
6) Young Thugga Mane La Flare (with Young Thug)
7) Ferrari Boyz (with Waka Flocka)
8) Breakfast
9) WWIII: Molly
10) Felix Brothers (with PeeWee Longway and Young Dolph)
11) The G.R.E.E.N. Album (with Migos)
12) Money, Pounds & Ammunition (with PeeWee Longway)
13) Big Gucci Sosa (with Chief Keef)
14) Trap God 2
15) East Atlanta Santa
16) Brick Factory Vol. 1
17) Trust God Fuck 12 (with Rich Homie Quan)
18) The W.H.I.T.E. Album (with PeeWee Longway)
19) Trap House
20) Hard to Kill
21)The State vs. Radric Davis
22) Lunch
23) WWIII: Gas
24) The P.U.R.P.L.E. Album (with Young Thug)
25) I'm Up
26) The Return of Mr. Perfect
27) Brick Factory Vol. 2
28) Trap God 3
29) WWIII: Lean
30) Buy My Album

So dedication is what keeps Gucci Mane going. He is an example of entertainers who refuse to stay away. In this rap game, if you catch a federal case, it's a wrap. Gucci wants to prove the critics wrong.

He's devoted to Atlanta's trap music.

A Woman May Face LIFE In The Death Of Hussein Fatal!

More details involving death of rapper Hussein Fatal.

A drunk driver was responsible for the death of rapper Hussein Fatal, a member of The Outlawz.

The Outlawz were Tupac Shakur's rap group. They assisted the late rapper in his numerous feuds with hip-hop artists. Some notable rappers were the Notorious B.I.G. and Jay-Z.

Hussein Fatal was killed last week and no details weren't released until late Friday.

Bruce Washington, Jr. was his government name. He was with girlfriend Zenetta Yearby when this accident occurred. I guess they had a lot of the drink in their system.

Yearby was the driver of a Dodge Challenger and she was the sole survivor of this incident. She was driving near Gainsville, GA, a 45 minute drive from Atlanta.

They were doing 120 on Interstate 85. The speed limit in Georgia suburbs is 70.

So she was weaving through traffic and I guess she over corrected and the car flipped. The impact ejected the rapper. The rapper was killed on impact. He wasn't wearing his seatbelt at the time of the crash.

She survived with cuts and bruises. But as soon as they gave her the test, she failed and the cuffed her.

Yearby is still in the Banks County lockup. She's facing a vehicular homicide charges. These charges along could carry LIFE in the iron college.

World News Today send our condolences to the family of Hussein Fatal.

SCOTUS Keeps The Death Card Available!

The current justices in the Supreme Court.

By appointment.

Associate Justice Anton Scalia - Ronald Reagan (Conservative)
Associate Justice Anthony Kennedy - Ronald Reagan (Conservative/Libertarian)
Associate Justice Clarence Thomas - George H.W.Bush (Conservative)
Associate Justice Steven Breyer - Bill Clinton (Liberal)
Associate Justice Ruth Bider Ginsburg - Bill Clinton (Liberal)
Associate Justice Samuel Alto - George W. Bush (Conservative)
Chief Justice John Roberts - George W. Bush (Conservative)
Associate Justice Sonia Sotomayor - Barack Obama (Liberal)
Associate Justice Elena Kagan - Barack Obama (Liberal)

Try to keep up with the score. Conservatives are seriously upset with Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Anthony Kennedy. They sided with the liberal wing of the court in regards to Obamacare.

Kennedy strung conservatives even harder by siding with the liberal wing of the court in allowing equal marriage in the United States. So it doesn't matter whether you're straight or gay, you have a right to marry. Marriage is legal in the United States. Conservatives are calling for impeachment and are urging state clerks to deny marriage licenses based on religious beliefs.

King v. Burwell ruling saves the Obamacare (Affordable Care Act). If it ruled in the conservatives favor, over 30 million signed up to the healthcare mandates subsides could be eliminated. That means each state is required to set up state exchanges regardless of political views.

Obergefell v. Hodges ruling is a landmark decision. Jim Obergefell lost his husband to ALS. He wanted to be placed as spouse on the death certificate. He and his husband John Arthur were married in Maryland. They resided in Cincinnati. When John died, Ohio refused to acknowledged the legal marriage. Jim took it to court and won. The court ruled that equal rights are extended to marriage.

On the bright side, conservatives win on rulings that involves the mandatory sentencing, the overreach of the EPA and the death penalty.

Michigan v. EPA - The court ruled that President Barack Obama's executive orders were unconstitutional.

Ohio v. Clark - The court ruled that sentencing for gun crimes under statures that carry heavy time in the iron college were constitutional.

Clayton Lockett

Glossip v. Gross - The cocktail given in the gas house isn't cruel and unusual punishment.

Conservatives win handily on these issues when it comes to gun rights, environmental regulations and the pills for death.

The Glossip v. Gross case involved the death penalty cocktail that was being injected into the condemned. An Oklahoma man was given the gas house. Clayton Lockett was given the lethal load and it didn't work. It was administered by the Oklahoma guards.

Lockett got the cocktail but it wasn't working. He told the warden that he's feeling pain. He was cussing that this "shit was burning"!

It took over 45 minutes before he would pass away. Many advocates believe that it was cruel for him to suffer.

The Supreme Court in a 5-4 decision believe that despite this horrible tragedy, the states that advocate the gas house are allowed to use the death cocktail.

On the other hand, the liberal wing won the ruling on Arizona State Legislature v. Arizona Independent Redistricting Comm'n. This ruling could impact states that have gerrymandered districts that are based on political swing. That means if a district is relatively swing, the party in power must compromise on where the district lines go. Basically it may be up to voters to establish independent commissions to draw the congressional lines in the 2020 U.S. Census.

Texas Dept. of Housing and Community Affairs v. Inclusive Communities Project, Inc., ruling is significant. Even if there's a trace of discrimination in housing loans, leasing and properties, the individual can file a writ of consent.

Walker v. Texas Division, Sons of Confederate Veterans ruling advocates that governments aren't entitled to enshrine opinionated plates. That means that some states that issue Confederate flag plates are no longer allowed to promote private thought over government speech.

Rozay In County Lockup After An Alleged Kidnapping Charge!

Rick Ross is a gangsta and a gentleman. The rapper in currently in lockup after allegations of a beat down of a guest. 

The bawse got caught up. William Leonard Roberts II, known as Rick Ross (or Rozay) is in the lock up after a no knock at his mansion in Atlanta. He and his body Nadrian James were arrested after accusations of a kidnapping surfaced.

The U.S. Marshals entered the mansion in the early with guns drawn. They came a knocking.

Rozay the founder of Maybach Music Group is a signed act on Def Jam.

Rozay is affiliated with Jay-Z, Sean "Puffy" Combs and Ted "Touche" Lucas of Slip-N-Slide Music.

He released six albums, five compilation albums and three official mixtapes. He signed on Wale, Meek Mill, French Montana, Stalley and R&B Omarion to his label. They released albums on the Maybach Music label.

Meek Mill, Wale and Rozay were nominated for Grammy's.

The rapper was put in Fayette County lockup on the charges of aggravated assault and kidnapping.

Allegedly a guest at his home was given the five finger roll. The guest got his head knocked with the .45, face stomped and beaten until he turned blue. The guest decided to press charges against Rozay.

I bet it was probably one of the rapper's closest allies. The guest turned snitch.

The AP reports that Rozay was jailed without bail on kidnapping, aggravated assault and aggravated battery charges, said Jim Joyner, a supervisor with the Marshals Service task force.

The June 7 attack left the man with injuries that included two chipped teeth and a neck injury, authorities said.

Rick Ross with his son at a Miami Heat game.

"The victim lost use of his jaw and is restricted to soft foods and liquid diet only as a result of not being able to chew food," an arrest warrant states.

Ross and James are both accused of forcing the man into the guesthouse, down a hallway and into a bedroom, resulting in the kidnapping charges. Both are also accused of assaulting him.

Ross also faces an aggravated assault charge involving a Glock handgun. He's accused of using the gun to strike the man in the head and body, and also pointing the weapon at him.

"The victim was then questioned under duress and forced to answer questions at gunpoint," one of the arrest warrants states.

The court papers do not indicate what led to the attack, nor do they outline the relationship between Ross, the bodyguard and the man who was injured.

It wasn't immediately clear whether Ross and James have attorneys who could be contacted for comment. A message left at Maybach Music Group, Ross' record label, was not returned Wednesday morning.

When officers armed with the arrest warrants showed up at the mansion, once owned by boxer Evander Holyfield, someone inside refused to open the gate leading to the home, authorities said.

"They refused to open the gate, so we opened the gate for them," Joyner said.

Once officers got past the gate, someone inside opened the front door so they didn't have to break it down, Joyner said. Ross and the bodyguard were then taken into custody without incident, Joyner said.

"They didn't put up a struggle or anything," he said.

Ross made an initial appearance before a magistrate judge Wednesday morning and the judge denied bail, Fayette County sheriff's spokesman J. Allen Stevens said.

It was second time in the past two weeks Ross has been arrested in Fayette County. On June 10, Ross was booked into the county jail on a misdemeanor charge of marijuana possession.

In that case, Ross and a passenger were pulled over because the windows of the Bentley in which they were riding violated tinting regulations, Stevens, the sheriff's spokesman, said at the time. The officer smelled marijuana and found some inside the car, Stevens said.

Father Of The Year In Lockup After Leaving Daughter To Die In Hot Car!

Daddy dearest. Father in city lockup after leaving his child to die in a hot car. Wondering if the junk food media will realize that Marilyn Mosby will find ways to put this man in the iron college?

Father of the year.

Out of Baltimore, a father is now learning that parenthood is a 24/7 business. He somehow slept on the job. Literally this man got drunk on Father's Day and was partying while his 2-year old daughter was sitting in a vehicle with temperatures in the high 80s. That temperature in a car could rise to the 100s.

Wilbert Carter makes me sick. The 31 year old gives fathers a bad name. Especially since he's a Black man, he's already being criticized by them Black extremists who believe that THE BLACKS are unfit to be parents.

His daughter Leasia was left in the car for eight hours. The little girl would die because of heat stroke, and severe burns left on her body.

Carter was at the gas station guzzling up on a few 40 oz and lost track of his daughter. I guess he thought that if he was going to be on the road with a lick in his system, he would go to city lockup.

But unaware he brought his daughter. He was suppose to take her to his parents home.

Alas, he fucked up. Now he could face 30 years in the iron college for second degree murder.

World News Today send our condolences to the family of Leasia Carter.

Of course, cue the concern trolls.

Baltimore the city where police officers were indicted in the murder of Freddie Gray. Where a few days of rioting led to property damage, partisan blame and the rise of the #BlackLivesMatter movement. The agitators went with cameras in tow to Baltimore to catch rioters loot the liquor store while a few miles down the protesters were being ignored and the calls for reform weren't heard.

Leasia Carter was defenseless. Dad didn't bother taking his daughter out of a hot vehicle.

Marilyn Mosby the state prosecutor for the city of Baltimore, Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, and police commissioner Anthony Batts were taking some heat from the agitators because the knee jerkers weren't satisfied with the results.

Baltimore indicted six cops and they are innocent until proven guilty. According to the racist right, Freddie Gray caused his injuries. He shouldn't take off running. He was a dope pusher. He put up a fight. And yet there's no camera evidence leaked showing him doing anything. The only video shown was the blood curling screams of a man who looked like he got slammed near a brick fence.

In the case of Wilbert Carter, he's guilty until proven innocent. They don't care. As long as he's Black, he's guilty.

I am guessing that Carter is already facing non-stop torture. Not only from his family, but the guilt of being a reckless father will stick with him for the rest of his life.

KFC Smelled A Rat And It Wasn't The Food! [NSFW]

Devorise Dixon was sharing on the social media his experience at a KFC restaurant in California.

What he shared on the social media was a piece of food that kind of looked like a rat. A deep fired rat which got the Yum! Brands' attention. They were really pissed that a restaurant would dare put a rat in their products. There was gonna be a cannon firing. Matter of fact, there were going to be cuffs on the perpetrator who done it.

Dixon and his lawyer brought their lawsuit to the KFC.

KFC had an independent DNA test of the questionable product. When the results came out, it determined that the piece in question was chicken.

KFC released a statement:

California man claims that KFC sacked him a rat in a meal.

"Recently, a customer questioned the quality of a KFC product, and this received considerable publicity given the sensational nature of his claim. On Friday, the customer's attorney turned over the product in question for testing at an independent lab, and the results officially confirmed what KFC knew all along --- the product was chicken and not a rat as the customer claimed".

Dixon wrote on Facebook.

"I went to KFC and [brought] a 3 [piece] chicken tender! As I bit into a piece of it [I] noticed it was very hard/touch and rubbery! Which sent this deep chill down my body! I looked down at it and saw it was a cooked rat! Made me feel sick!"

Dixon claimed that he returned to the KFC in question and said that the manager confirmed that the tender was a rat. The KFC manager apologized.

KFC said not so fast. The branch in question had told the junk food media that they haven't talked to Dixon.

KFC may ban Dixon from their stores if he doesn't owe up and apologize.

KFC stands by it's products and they take all controversies seriously. Last year, the fast food chain faced harsh criticism from the social media after a family claimed that their child was kicked out because of her injuries from a dog. The family would recant their story after KFC shelved out $200,000 to aid in her medical bills.

Another You Can't Fix Stupid Story for you!

It's finger licking good......

Cincy Mom Decapitates Her Child! [NSFW]

Ohio mother may get the gas house in the tragic killing of her child.

If there was ever a story that brought a tear to my eye, it would be the tragedy in Ohio. This is becoming an international story. A Cincinnati mom murdered her three month old daughter. She would behead her child.

Again bringing into question about mental illness. This tragedy has gripped the nation. This woman may get the LIFE in the iron college or the gas house. The doctors must treat her for a condition that makes her completely psycho.

This 20 year old mother was ordered to not have contact with the child. The family ignored that.

And look what happened...

We here at Journal de la Reyna send our condolences to Jeniyah Watkins-Brown.



Her heartbroken father James Brown is speechless. He couldn't even fathom how this woman would kill her own child.

Deasia Watkins is at Deaconess Hospital strapped up. The law has read her the rights and when she is treated for her post-partum psychosis she'll face a judge.

Hamilton County prosecutor Joe Deters is going to throw the book at her. The 20 year old was arrested before for child endangerment. She was blasting the music and the law was notified.

Jeniyah Watkins-Brown was killed brutally by her mom.

Watkins was belligerent and smelled like marijuana. The Hamilton County Job Children and Family Services told family members that if they were to take custody of this little child, they were not to be in contact with the mother.

Someone didn't listen and this woman got a hold of the baby. She would stab the baby, break her arm and then use the knife to sever her head.

Again, I am angry and sadden by this. Young lives are lost to domestic violence. Mental illness is a problem in America. The government isn't working on solutions to solve this.

The government and Jeniyah's family failed in doing something. Keeping that baby safe.

This is the latest news in America.

BREAKING: Carlisha Freeland-Gaither Alive! Suspect Caught!

Just a few hours into the news, the junk food media reports that the missing 22-year old woman was found. The feds and local law enforcement found the pieces and solved a mystery.

Carlisha Freeland-Gaither was found in Jessup, Maryland. The suspect is a tier III offender who has charges for attempted capital murder, explosives and malicious injury with deadly substance.

The junk food media reported that Sunday after leaving a party, Carlisha was abducted by a Black male who ran up on her.

The feds quickly found a suspect on video in two locations. One in Philadelphia and one in Maryland.

Delvin Barnes, the evil man who abducted a woman.

The suspect was using her credit card. That was the key to solving this case. Carlisha was found over 100 miles from her home. She's being treated for minor injuries from the scuffle.

According to CBS Baltimore, the suspect is named Delvin Barnes. He’s being investigated for a previous case and faces attempted capital murder, assault and malicious injury with acid, explosives or fire. He will face federal charges in this case. He is 37.

Details of that other case are not yet available.

Barnes and Gaither were found inside of a vehicle in Jessup. An officer said he believes it was a stranger abduction and there’s no indication that they knew each other.

Officers stress this is an active criminal investigation.

“We got a very dangerous predator off the street,” Police Chief Charles Ramsey said. “He’s a thug and this is what he does, apparently.”

ATF agents say that she was hysterical when Barnes was arrested.

A three minute video shows the moment the suspect parks his car, gets out and starts stalking his victim. She turns to face him and he grabs her and drags her down the street. They continue to struggle after she falls to the ground.

Quick actions lead to her being found.

Witnesses who didn’t want to be identified describe the chaotic scene.

“`Help me, help me!’ I turned around and I just started running up here and I called the cops, screaming `Stop, stop, stop,'” said one.

On Tuesday morning the suspect was seen 72 miles south of Philadelphia in Aberdeen, using his victim’s ATM card at PNC Bank. The suspect was then caught on surveillance video buying snacks at a nearby mini-mart. WJZ went to a Shell gas station and spoke to the employees, who did not want to go on camera but say that is where he came.

Gaither lived in California, Maryland, for some time before moving to Pennsylvania. Her picture is now plastered everywhere from Philadelphia to Maryland as her mother begs for her daughter.

Keisha Gaither thanked everyone for praying for her daughter.

“I’m taking my baby home. Thank you. Thank you so much.”

Gaither relayed a story during the conference of how a detective came to her home and promised that he would find her daughter and bring her home.

Police say Carlisha put up a fight and kicked out the window of the suspect’s car. The vehicle is described as a Ford Taurus, possibly gray, and that shattered window is a key detail in this crime.

The reward for tips leading to the suspect is now $47,000. It’s not known if someone will be claiming that reward.

Where's Carlisha Freeland-Gaither?

Where's Carlisha?

The junk food media has taken an interest in the abduction of a Philadelphia nurse who was kidnapped. The kidnapping was on video showing a man running up on the young woman Carlisha Freeland-Gaither. Within a few seconds, you see her kicking and screaming. There's reports that she was trying to punch the abductor. The woman was leaving a party and then a few moments later, a Black male runs up on her and takes her.

Now leads are pouring into the case. The law has a description of the person who used her credit card in a Maryland store.

Now what's going down?

The feds are now getting involved in the search.

On Sunday, Carlisha a 22-year old nurse was heading home. When she gotten to the Germantown section of Philadelphia, the kidnapping occurred.

Police recovered the woman's purse and cell phone. So this isn't an apparent robbery.

I mean this young woman put up a fight. The family is grief stricken by this. They are hoping that there's a chance that the young woman is still alive.

The description of the suspect who used Carlisha Freeland-Gaither's credit card.

The Philadelphia Inquirer reports that it's unclear whether the man seen using the ATM early Monday is the same man who was captured on video Sunday dragging Carlesha Freeland-Gaither into a waiting sedan in the 100 block of West Coulter Street as she struggled and screamed.

Added, investigators have also interviewed a person whose car is seen on the video backing away from the Taurus, as well as a man seen running down the block. The witness in the car told investigators he saw Freeland-Gaither being forced into the car, police said, and saw the car's windows shatter before he backed away. The witness did not get a license plate number, police said.

At the news conference, Freeland-Gaither's grandmother, Ana Mulero, said there were "some gray people" in the woman's past, mentioning a boy she had forbidden her granddaughter to date. A police official ended the line of questioning before she went into more detail.

Freeland-Gaither had recently moved from her grandfather's house to live with her boyfriend just a few blocks from where she was kidnapped.

ABC News reports that the feds released the new video showing a man in a hooded jacket as he shops in a supermarket hours before that Carlesha Freeland-Gaither was kidnapped on Sunday, according to the video time stamp.

The video shows the man entering and leaving the unidentified store as well as walking through its aisles. He appears to have a slight limp. Investigators also noted that the man in the video had a wallet chain and wore a dark hoodie.

Police have not named any suspects in the case.

Freeland-Gaither's abduction on an empty Philadelphia street Sunday night was caught on surveillance video and began with a wary handshake, according to additional video released Tuesday night.

Additional surveillance footage taken from a second angle of the kidnapping revealed the first frightening moments between Freeland-Gaither and her assailant.

It's not clear if they interviewed the boyfriend but obviously that's the first person to question.

We here at Journal de la Reyna hope for a safe recovery for Carlisha.
