Republicans All Of Sudden Love Bill Clinton!

Bill Clinton criticizes the healthcare law giving Republicans more ammunition to repeal it.

The former President of The United States speaks to an online show and Republicans pounce on it.

Calling President Barack Obama a liar over "you can keep" is like saying former president George W. Bush saying Iraq harbored "weapons of mass destruction".

One clear difference of  Obama and Bush. Obama never sent people into war. Although he's a war president, he didn't lead American soldiers into Iraq. Bush did and has no regrets over misleading the nation into it.

The healthcare law is an ongoing obsession for the Republicans and its allies of the conservative movement.

They spent a majority of legislative time trying to repeal or defund the law. Like most lawmakers, they are to inform their constituents of the changes in the law. Most Republicans spent a majority of their time telling their constituents that they think "OBAMACARE" is a threat to the heart of America.

Now the left is really pissed at Bill Clinton. He speaks ill about the greatest achievement in President Barack Obama's legacy. He talks about it and the conservative agitators are saying "AH-HA, WE TOLD YOU SO!"

Now some liberal agitators are so pissed at Clinton, they promised that Hillary Clinton will suffer because of this. The liberals are threatening to derail a potential Hillary Clinton nomination.

Clinton said: "The president should honor the commitment the federal government made to those people and let them keep what they've got. [However], we're better off with this program than we are without it."

Even former vice president Dick Cheney is speaking favorably of Clinton's comments.

The House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) has put his tissues in his purse. He goes forth with a statement saying "RIGHT ON BILL! RIGHT ON!"

Many think that the former president's comments have a negative impact on the law. Clinton's comments derail the White House talking points.

Boehner was weeping tears of joy when former president Bill Clinton spoke about the problems with the Affordable Care Act. The Republicans are obsessed with repealing the law.

The Affordable Healthcare Act was signed into law in 2010 and its been the scorn of Republicans.

The Republicans repealed the law over 45 times and even contested it in the U.S. Supreme Court. The Supreme Court ruled it valid and handed Republicans a huge defeat.

So during its implications, the legislators failed at addressing their constituents and hence forth a bunch of misinformed Americans who believe in "death panels".

Loserville and conservative agitators have spread malicious information about the law. It may force individuals to ignore the law and pay penalties for no complying.

Bill Clinton's comments have implications to the general electorate. He's still a popular figure.

What do you think of the comments?

Were they out of line, or in the place of what the situation is?

Do you think these comments could impact a potential Hillary Clinton bid for president?

Two months ago, the former president speaks about the healthcare law in a positive way.

The Face Of The Healthcare Marketplace Got Death Threats!

The model for Healthcare.gov told the junk food media that she face "death threats" and rampant harassment online.

It seems like conservatives and the reactionary have no shame when it comes to their fellow Americans.

The model who was on the beginning page of the Healthcare Marketplace is being severely harassed by those arm chair assholes.

Ever since it's launch, the Healthcare.gov website has been experiencing problems. All I've heard for the last few weeks is the talk of the website and not the law. I've heard turdporters and agitators in the media complain about the website day in and day out.

So much distortion and half truths plague the media. This has probably made the rollout a whole lot worse when you're the "official face" of the law.

The woman only identified as "Adriana" has spoke to ABC News about the ordeal.

Screenshot of young woman was removed.

When her face was the first thing you see when you went to the website, no one would expect her face to become a viral sensation.

Adriana, who asked that only her first name be used, said she was speaking out now to defend herself after weeks of enduring online lampooning.

"They have nothing else to do but hide behind the computer. They're cyberbullying," Adriana told ABC News' Amy Robach.

The picture was ultimately pulled from the front page, which Adriana called a "relief."

"They took the picture down. I wanted the picture down, and they wanted the picture down. I don't think anybody wanted to focus on the picture," she said.

But a Department of Health and Human Services spokesperson told ABC that the photo was not removed because Adriana requested it.

Married for more than six years with a 21-month old son, Adriana reached out to the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services to inquire about having photos of her family taken in exchange for permitting their use on the website. She was notified in the summer that her photo would be used on the front page.

Calling herself "pure Colombian," Adriana said she's lived in the United States for more than six years and is applying for citizenship. Her husband is an American citizen.

Amy Robach of ABC News confirmed that she has breast cancer and its planning on having a double mastectomy in the coming months. Right now she will contribute to 20/20 while Elizabeth Vargas is out on medical leave for alcoholism and depression.

She was a victim of hateful rhetoric as well.

Richard Cohen: Bill de Blasio's Mixed Family Makes Me Puke!

Washington Post opinion columnist wrote another aim at the Black community. Could this attack be the end of his longtime career at the newspaper?

Richard Cohen maybe one sentence away from a pink slip after he made an offensive comment about mayor-elect of New York City, Bill de Blasio and his family.

He claims that biracial families make him "PUKE".

As usual, the Washington Post opinion writer pens a piece criticizing Black people.

In turn he's criticizing the interracial family. Bill de Blasio is married to a Black woman.

And he's got a miserable history of inflammatory statements criticizing the Black community in general.

Cohen wrote a column in 1986 which argued owners of jewelry stores were right to refuse to allow entry to young black men because of a fear of crime. This column led to the Washington Post having to apologize.

Following the acquittal of George Zimmerman for the shooting of Trayvon Martin in July 2013, Cohen wrote "a controversial column in which he defends George Zimmerman's suspicion of Travyon Martin and calls on politicians to acknowledge that a disproportionate amount of crimes are committed by black males".

The column went on to say that Cohen "can understand why Zimmerman was suspicious and why he thought Martin was wearing a uniform we all recognize;" in any case, he also points out that:

New York City elected Bill de Blasio as their mayor. Conservative mounted a full scale attack on de Blasio and his family.

"What I'm trying to deal with is, I'm trying to remove this fear from racism. I don't think it's racism to say, 'this person looks like a menace,'" 

"Now, a menace in another part of the country could be a white guy wearing a wife-beater under-shirt. Or, if you're a black guy in the South and you come around the corner and you see a member of the Ku Klux Klan".

Towards the end of the column, Cohen calls Trayvon Martin "a young man understandably suspected because he was black".

On November 4, 2013, Cohen wrote a column about the much talked about Oscar buzz film “12 Years a Slave”, in which he evinced personal ignorance of the history of slavery in the U.S. and a negative view of abolitionist writer Harriet Beecher Stowe, writing: "Instead, beginning with school, I got a gauzy version. I learned that slavery was wrong, yes, that it was evil, no doubt, but really, that many blacks were sort of content. Slave owners were mostly nice people — fellow Americans, after all — and the sadistic Simon Legree was the concoction of that demented propagandist, Harriet Beecher Stowe."

Shortly afterwards, on November 11, in the course of a column about New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, Cohen referred to the recent victory of Bill De Blasio as Mayor of New York, writing:

"People with conventional views must repress a gag reflex when considering the mayor-elect of New York — a white man married to a black woman and with two biracial children." 

This statement was widely condemned.

Anyway, what's your opinion of it?

Me and S. Baldwin explained this multiple times.

Color doesn't matter. As long as individuals share a common interest and love for one another, it's satisfaction. I don't discriminate against a person's race when it comes to relationships.

Cohen is entitled to be a blowhard conservative bigot. He's perfectly fine. I mean after he's fired from The Washington Post, maybe he'll get a job with people he'll feel comfortable with.

They're hiring over at the Loserville Nation, Breitfart and WorldNutDaily.

Ease Up on WaPo's Richard Cohen, As of Last Week He's Totally Down with ...

Trisha Goddard Tells Neo-Nazi That He's Got A Little Black In Him!

Trisha Goddard tries to fist bump Neo Nazi Craig Cobb after she revealed that he's got a Black descendant.

Remember that story about a Neo-Nazi wanting to uproot a North Dakota town and boot that one Black man out. He's making the rounds on a syndicated talk show to discuss his goals. Craig Cobb, founder of white nationalist social networking website called Podblanc, went to The Trisha Show and got a earful from the British born tabloid talker.

Trisha Goddard is a British born television presenter and motivational speaker. Goddard is a protege of Murray Povich. She hosts her own show on most syndicates across the country. It's in its third season and it's getting more juicier.

On an episode of Trisha, the host has two extremists on to discuss race issues in the United States.


One being Shahrazad Ali, the woman who got into a heated confrontation with Frank Taaffe, the "friend" of acquitted shooter George Zimmerman. Taaffe is a controversial figure because of his recent statements of Black people.

In the middle of a segment, Goddard revealed a DNA test to the Neo-Nazi. She tells Cobb that he has 14% Sub-Saharan African and 86% of European.

He got really pissed when he heard the news.

She even tried to agitate a fist bump with the extremist. He quickly rejected the fist bump and the DNA statistics.

Craig Cobb is a notorious figure in the White nationalists circles. Most extremists think of him as a "showboater". He does things that go against the creed of WHITE POWER.

He claims "racism is my religion" and advocates "racial holy war" in accordance with the tenets of The Creativity Movement.

Trisha Goddard hands the news to Neo-Nazi Craig Cobb.

Cobb gained notoriety within anti-racist and anti-fascist movements and legal advocacy organizations that investigate hate speech and hate crime for his "celebration of violence and murder committed against minorities" as documented in his video recordings, online activities, and disruptions at public events.

Cobb relocated to western North Dakota due to its supply of high-paying jobs at oil fields and high proportion of white residents. He claimed that he was fired from a job due to disagreements with a co-worker, and that he lost a job with a Fargo paving company after there was media coverage of his settlement plans.

While Cobb was working in Watford City, North Dakota, he found on Craigslist that there were lots available for sale in Leith, North Dakota. He moved there in 2012.

As of October 2013, Cobb resides in Leith, where he is trying to create a white supremacist community.

He reportedly owns at least 13 plots of land in the town. Several other prominent white supremacists, including April Gaede and her husband, also own land in Leith.

That one Black man in Leith, ND is married to a White woman. Craig Cobb wants to boot that Nigger out of his town.

He has transferred ownership of two plots to fellow white supremacists Alex Linder and Tom Metzger. Another white supremacist, Jeff Schoep, visited Leith in late September 2013 in order to support Cobb, and he brought several fellow members of the National Socialist Movement with him.

Several former members of Anti-Racist Action formed a peaceful, grassroots movement called UnityND and began organizing a demonstration of their own in Leith, that would protest against both Cobb and Schoep. Several hundred people attended the protests against Cobb and his allies, including hundreds of members of the Standing Rock Indian Reservation.

As a reaction to Cobb's planned takeover of Leith, some have even advocated disbanding Leith and dissolving it into Grant County proper. Cobb stated that he will pursue to file a restraining order against the Standing Rock Indian Reservation.

James Carville: Obama Should Toke A Crackpipe! He'll Be Popular Like [Toronto's] Mayor Rob Ford!

Tasteless joke by a hack Democratic strategist has riled up the conservatives.

James Carville is a former Bill Clinton strategist and married to Republican operative Mary Matlin.

He's called the RAGING CAJAN because of his combative debates. He misses them days over at CNN because Crossfire now has Newt Gingrich, S.E. Cupp, Van Jones and Stephanie Cutter hosting the show.

He and his wife were regular contributors to CNN. They were given the ax this year and now they appear on random competitors from time to time.

He's a "free agent" over at Loserville and Obama News. And whenever they invite him or his wife Matlin on, expect something crazy to come out of their mouths.

On Monday's Morning Joe, Carville was discussing the president's downward spiral in the polls.

He makes a "joke" about the president taking a cue from the embattled Canadian mayor Rob Ford.

Ford, the mayor of Toronto is facing heavy scrutiny after it was revealed that he was under the influence of cocaine and crack during his time as mayor. Gawker and other junk food media figures are paying huge sums to see the video of Ford toking a pipe.

The conservatives zeroed in on his notable quirk:

“I think the best thing he can do is take a toke on the mayor of Toronto’s crack pipe, because his numbers are about 48.”

For one thing, that's pretty dumb for someone to say that. If Carville really wanted to raise eyebrows, he could have said, "You know Obama could have his own Monica! It saved Bill Clinton!"

The only reason why former president Bill Clinton managed to stay in the high job approval is the onslaught of criticism from Republicans when they were obsessed "Clinton Scandals". The tipping point was the impeachment of Bill Clinton because he had an affair with intern Monica Lewinsky.

The Republicans were obsessed with her and Paula Jones. They were trying to get into the personal business of the president. They were trying to have him removed over sex.

In the case of President Barack Obama, it's his race. Carville quipped a "dog whistle". To compare the president to a corrupt mayor is pretty damn stupid.

It's probably why he was cut from CNN. This type of stuff isn't what CNN does. They don't want to be like Obama News and Loserville. They paid a price for neutrality. But in the long run, it may be its determent.

Carville, understand this. It's mostly his race that drives his polls down.

Because White voters are the most pessimistic when it comes to the economy. They are the most impatient when it comes to the healthcare law.

While a website isn't the full package of the American Healthcare Act, the ongoing stories about this stupid website and the minor problems that came when it was launched, this has dragged his job approval down.

For the three years since its passage, Congress hasn't motivate its constituents about the law. The Republicans and its conservative allies have deliberately misled and distort the law. The president's most staunch critics will not sign up for the healthcare benefits no matter what he tells them. The critics will then tell others to avoid the website.

People like That Guy Who Helped Obama Win have been notorious in misleading the public about the healthcare law.

Carville is friends with That Guy.

Another thing, he can't get nothing done with this inept Congress.

So I don't see where he can get an aggressive agenda done when you see either John Boehner, Mitch McConnell, John McCain, Lindsay Graham, Michele Bachmann, Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, Mike Lee, Marco Rubio, Kelly Ayotte, Mike Rogers, Steve King, Louie Gohmert, and David Vitter on every freaking news program!

They have no accomplishments other than the amount of time they spend in a front of a camera.

They haven't done much and yet we keep electing them.

So to James Carville and others like him, shut the fuck up!

The president is fine. He will do whatever he can to help the United States move forward. He will try to get things done with this lame ass Congress. Obama will succeed.

Tariq Nasheed: Intelligent Black Men vs. The Negro Bed Wench Mentality

A Vindication For George Stinney?

A 14-year old boy was given the zapper for "allegedly killing" two little White girls in South Carolina. Now about 70 years later, they want to clear his name.

Only in the segregated South, a young Black teen would be executed for allegedly killing two white girls.

And without probable cause and a whole lot of heresy, a 14-year old boy was sent to the zapper.

On the shaky confession and a sense of injustice, a boy dies for just being in the minds of the townspeople, a "natural born criminal".

Betty June Binnicker, age 11, and Mary Emma Thames, age 8, in Alcolu, located in Clarendon County, South Carolina, on March 23, 1944.

Alcolu was a small, working class, mill town where whites and blacks were separated by railroad tracks.

The girls had disappeared while out riding their bicycles looking for flowers. As they passed the Stinney property, they asked young George Stinney and his sister, Katherine, if they knew where to find "maypops", a type of flower.

When the girls did not return, search parties were organized, with hundreds of volunteers. The bodies of the girls were found the next morning in a ditch filled with muddy water. Both had suffered severe head wounds.

Stinney was convicted of murdering two pre-teen girls after police said he confessed to the murders. But the question of Stinney's guilt, the validity of his alleged confession, and the judicial process leading to his execution have been criticized as "suspicious at best and a miscarriage of justice at worst", and as an example of the many injustices African-Americans suffered in courtrooms in the United States in the first half of the 20th century.

Following his arrest, Stinney's father was fired from his job and his parents and siblings were given the choice of leaving town or be lynched. The family was forced to flee, leaving the 14-year-old child with no support during his 81-day confinement and trial. His trial, including jury selection, lasted just one day.

Stinney's court-appointed attorney was a tax commissioner preparing to run for office. There was no court challenge to the testimony of the three police officers who claimed that Stinney had confessed, although that was the only evidence presented. There were no written records of a confession. Three witnesses were called for the prosecution: the man who discovered the bodies of the two girls and the two doctors who performed the post mortem.

No witnesses were called for the defense. The trial before a completely white jury and audience (African-Americans were not allowed entrance) lasted two-and-a-half hours. The jury took ten minutes to deliberate before it returned with a guilty verdict.

The execution of George Stinney was carried out at the South Carolina State Penitentiary in Columbia, on June 16, 1944. At 7:30 p.m., Stinney walked to the execution chamber with a Bible under his arm, which he later used as a booster seat in the electric chair.

Standing 5 foot 2 inches (157 cm) tall and weighing just over 90 pounds (40 kg), his size (relative to the fully grown prisoners) presented difficulties in securing him to the frame holding the electrodes. Nor did the state's adult-sized face-mask fit him; as he was hit with the first 2,400 V surge of electricity, the mask covering his face slipped off, “revealing his wide-open, tearful eyes and saliva coming from his mouth”...After two more jolts of electricity, the boy was dead."

Stinney was declared dead within four minutes of the initial electrocution. From the time of the murders until Stinney's execution, eighty-one days had passed.

The Huffington Post reports that the South Carolina Attorney General's Office will likely argue the other side of the case before the Clarendon County judge. A spokesman said their lawyers had not seen the motion and do not comment on pending cases. A date for a hearing on the matter has not been set.

The request for a new trial has an uphill climb. The judge may refuse to hear it at all, since the punishment was already carried out. Also, South Carolina has strict rules for introducing new evidence after a trial is complete, requiring the information to have been impossible to discover before the trial and likely to change the results, said Kenneth Gaines, a professor at the University of South Carolina's law school.

"I think it's a longshot, but I admire the lawyer for trying it," Gaines said, adding that he's not aware of any other executed inmates in the state being granted a new trial posthumously.

The request for a new trial is largely symbolic, but Stinney's supporters say they would prefer exoneration to a pardon.

Stinney's case intersects some long-running disputes in the American legal system — the death penalty and race. At 14, he's the youngest person executed in the United States in past 100 years. He was electrocuted just 84 days after the girls were killed in March 1944.

The request for a new trial includes sworn statements from two of Stinney's siblings who say he was with them the entire day the girls were killed. Notes from Stinney's confession and most other information deputies and prosecutors used to convict Stinney in a one-day trial have disappeared along with any transcript of the proceedings. Only a few pages of cryptic, hand-written notes remain, according to the motion.

"It was strange to see them in our area, because white people stayed on their side of Alcolu and we knew our place," Ruffner wrote.

The girls never came home and hundreds of people searched for them through the night. They were found the next morning in a water-filled ditch, their heads beaten with a hard object, likely a railroad spike.

Deputies got a tip the girls had been seen talking to Stinney. They came to Stinney's home and took him away. His family wouldn't see the boy again until after his trial. Newspaper accounts suggested a lynch mob was nearly formed to attack the teen in jail.

Stinney's dad worked for the major mill in town and lived in a company house. He was ordered to leave after his son was arrested, said Stinney's brother Charles Stinney, who was 12 when his older brother was arrested. Charles Stinney's statement explains why the family didn't speak to authorities at the time.

"George's conviction and execution was something my family believed could happen to any of us in the family. Therefore, we made a decision for the safety of the family to leave it be," Charles Stinney wrote in his sworn statement.

Charles Stinney said he remembered the events vividly because "for my family, Friday, March 24, 1944, and the events that followed were our personal 9/11."

Both statements were made in 2009. Lawyer Steve McKenzie said he planned to file the request for a new trial then, but heard from a man in Tennessee who claimed his grandfather was with George Stinney the day of the killings. McKenzie thought the information from someone not related to Stinney would be especially powerful, but the person suddenly stopped cooperating after stringing the lawyers along for years.

The request for a new trial points out that at 95 pounds, Stinney likely couldn't have killed the girls and dragged them to the ditch.

The motion also hints at community rumors of a deathbed confession from a white man several years ago and the possibility Stinney either confessed because his family was threatened or he was given ice cream. But the court papers provide little information and the lawyers also wouldn't elaborate.

At 14, Stinney was the youngest person executed in this country in the past 100 years, according to statistics gathered by the Death Penalty Information Center.

Newspaper stories from his execution had witnesses saying the straps to keep him in the electric chair didn't fit around his small frame and an electrode was too big for his leg.

Executing teens wasn't uncommon at that time. Florida put a 16-year-old boy to death for rape in 1944 and Mississippi, Nevada, Ohio and Texas executed 17-year-olds that year.

Lawyers also filed a request for to pardon Stinney before the state Department of Probation, Parole and Pardon Services in case the new trial is not granted.

There is precedent for that. In 2009, two great-uncles of syndicated radio host Tom Joyner were pardoned by the board nearly 100 years after they were sent to the electric chair in the death of a Confederate Army veteran. Joyner's lawyers showed evidence the men were framed by a small-time criminal who took a plea deal that saved his life and testified against them.

But Frierson said a pardon would be little comfort to him in the Stinney case. "The first step in a pardon is to admit you are wrong and ask for forgiveness. This boy did nothing wrong," Frierson said.

This is the movie Carolina Skeletons. Based off the novel from David Stout and based similarly to the George Stinney situation.

Houston Party Shooting Ended With Two Killed!

Queric Richardson was murdered by two ignorant young men during an escalation at a Houston area birthday party.

Two high school students lives were lost at a birthday party in the Houston neighborhood of Cypress.

The Harris County Sheriff and Houston Metro Police found the individuals who committed the act.

I mean it's not even safe to even have a simple gathering among friends.

The shooters Willie Young, 21, and Randy Stewart, 18 were responsible for the act. They will be charged for capital murder as they await trial. They could get the gas chamber for this.

The Houston Chronicle and Associated Press report that the teenager who attended a large house party where two Cypress Springs High School students died says gunshots began in the house and continued outside as people ran into the streets seeking cover.

Shaniqua Brown, 17, says Saturday evening's birthday party "was not rowdy at all," and many people were dancing when they heard the shots.

Authorities are seeking two gunmen who are ages 17 and 22.

A man and a woman were killed in the shooting, said Sheriff Adrian Garcia. Queric Richardson, 17, died at the party and a 16-year-old girl at Cypress Fairbanks Medical Center Hospital. The victims have not been named but Garcia said both attended Cypress Springs High School.

According to friends, both deceased teens attended Morton Ranch High School in the Katy Independent School District.

Richardson, a junior, who would have turned 18 on Thursday was remembered as a generous and humorous guy who loved to play basketball.

Britnee Segura, a 16-year-old junior at Morton Ranch High, was stunned to learn about the shootings when she awoke on Sunday, checked her Instagram account and saw her friend's photo with "RIP" in the comments.

She said she soon spoke to Queric's brother, Lawrence Guidry, by phone, who confirmed the death.

"He just said that he was hurt," she explained.

At least 19 others were wounded in the shooting, said Garcia.

The party was advertised on Twitter as an 18th birthday celebration with the hashtag #Fab3HouseParty. Brown said word about the party was also spread through Instagram, a photo-sharing app and website.

Garcia said promoting the party on social media likely invited strangers to the home.

He said evidence indicates that there was no one-on-one confrontation prior to the shooting.

The initial investigation indicates that someone pulled a pistol and fired one celebratory shot into the air, he said.

"Someone else recklessly reacted to the gunfire and shoots into the crowd," said Garcia, adding that about 10 shots were fired.


The Sheriff called the incident a "a horrible combination of immaturity, access to a firearm and the inability to control oneself."

Garcia said social media "caused part of the problem we're dealing with," but said social media could also help find the suspects.

"We are asking those armed with social media to help the Harris County Sheriff's Office bring closure to this incident," he said. "If you, out there, know someone involved in this case … I ask you to use your smart phone and download IWatchHarrisCounty (app)."

Partygoers scrambled after the first shots were fired about 11 p.m. at the home in the 7300 block of Enchanted Creek Drive, near Fry and FM 529, said Brown.

Pools of blood were visible outside the two-story brick home Sunday morning, and the garage door was bent after people had pushed it upward while trying to escape.

Members of Mariah Boulden's family clean up the mess.

More than 100 people, mostly young adults, were at a house celebrating Mariah Boulden's birthday, said Thomas Gilliland, spokesman with the Sheriff's Office.

One of the wounded included a female, who was sent by Lifeflight helicopter ambulance to Memorial Hermann Hospital.

The others shot have injuries ranging from serious to non-life threatening, said Gilliland. Some were shot in the foot or ankle. Others were shot in the hip, he said. Most of the injured were from 17 to 20 and were taken to five area hospitals.

Three others not shot, but hurt in the incident, also were taken to a hospital, Gilliland said. They reported injuries such as twisted ankles. One neighbor said she thought a teen broke his leg trying to jump her fence as he fled the gunfire.

After the shooting, people were making a mad rush to get out of the house, he said. Witnesses told deputies that some people broke second-floor windows and jumped.

So many people were trying to get out of the garage, they forced the garage door forward and pushed it off its tracks, Gilliland said.

When deputies arrived, they saw some people lying on the ground and others running.

"It was a pretty chaotic scene," Gilliland said.

Mariah Boulden's birthday party went horribly wrong.

Hours after the shooting, A. Henry described how the celebration turned into terror.


He was in the house, near the kitchen when he heard the first shots.

"It sounded like a balloon popping," said the 19-year-old Cypress Springs graduate.

Partygoers suddenly got quiet, he said, then the gunfire returned.

Henry said he thinks he heard between 10 and 12 shots fired, but was uncertain because the situation was hectic. The shooting seems to last between three to five minutes, he said.

At one point, he was trying to move people toward the garage to help them and himself out. He saw two people on the floor, bleeding.

Uncertainty crossed his mind.

"I hope I make it out alive," he recalled thinking.

Karen Briones was visiting relatives in the neighborhood when they heard the shooting, she said.

She saw the party earlier Saturday when on her way to a convenience store. After Briones returned to her relatives' home, on the other side of the neighborhood, they heard gunfire. She and a few relatives drove back down the street to investigate, she said.

"Girls were crying and screaming, banging on people's doors asking them for help and to call 911," Briones said.

Members of the press taking graphic pictures.

The party was advertised on Twitter as an 18th birthday celebration. Brown said word about the party was also spread through Instagram, a photo-sharing app and website.

At least one parent was in the house, said Christina Garza, a spokeswoman with the sheriff's office.

No drugs or alcohol are suspected in the shooting.

Garcia said Boulden's mother was in the home during the party.

Bruno Figueroa lives a few houses down the street and said he heard five to 10 shots. He looked out his window and saw a crowd of at least 30 people running down his street.

"Kids were running everywhere," he said.

Figueroa said people suddenly began ducking into back yards and behind vehicles in driveways, apparently trying to hide from a car that was slowly coming down the street. Figueroa said that from his upstairs window he could hear the people who were hiding nearby.

"They were crying, yelling, 'My brother got shot,' 'Why did they do this?'" he said.

Figueroa said as soon as the slow-moving car rounded a corner and then sped away, the people who had been hiding gathered back in the street.

A young future lost to the endless cycle of gun violence.

Okay, we here at Journal de la Reyna send our condolences to the families of Queric Richardson and the young girl.

It's not the guns fault, right?

It's the fault of the hip-hop community and lack of Black fathers!

We don't care where the guns came from! As long as a Black person has a firearm, they're dangerous.

This is the word vomit of the racist right! This is the circular firing squad of ignorance from those arm chair warriors who believe that every incident that happens in Black or the Hispanic community, is completely the fault of President Barack Obama instead of the individual.

As always the racist right will continue to say that it was one of "Obama's sons" in regards to it. Because they already assume that the individuals responsible are future Trayvon Martins.

This Person Think They're Slick....

ENDA Passed The Senate! House Uncertain!

Congresswoman Krysten Sinema (D-Arizona) is bisexual.

Employment Non Discrimination Act has passed the U.S. Senate. The law will ban employers from discriminating against those who are gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender.

It's the first step in the president's second term agenda. He wanted to get gun control and immigration reform passed quickly. It turns out to be the longest road to victory. He can't even get things done with this inept Congress. His agenda has been stalled by the Republicans in the House of Representatives.

The Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA) is legislation proposed in the United States Congress that would prohibit discrimination in hiring and employment on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity by employers with at least 15 employees.

ENDA has been introduced in every Congress since 1994 except the 109th. Similar legislation has been introduced without passage since 1974.

The bill gained its best chance at passing after the Democratic Party broke twelve years of Republican Congressional rule in the 2006 midterm elections. In 2007, gender identity protections were added to the legislation for the first time. Some sponsors believed that even with a Democratic majority, ENDA did not have enough votes to pass the House of Representatives with transgender inclusion and dropped it from the bill, which passed the House and then died in the Senate. President George W. Bush threatened to veto the measure. LGBT advocacy organizations and the LGBT community were divided over support of the modified bill.

Most Democrats and some Republicans senators endorsed the EDNA.

In 2009, following Democratic gains in the 2008 elections, and after the divisiveness of the 2007 debate, Rep. Barney Frank introduced a transgender-inclusive version of ENDA. He introduced it again in 2011, and Sen. Jeff Merkley introduced it in the Senate. President Barack Obama supports the bill's passage.

If the ENDA was signed to law, it would address cases where gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender employees have been discriminated against by their employers because of their sexual orientation or gender identity. Currently, these employees are unable to find protection in the courts because sexual orientation is not considered to be a suspect class by the federal courts and by many U.S. states. Proponents argue that such a law is appropriate in light of the United States Constitution's guarantees of equal protection and due process to all. Advocates argue that homosexuality is not a "choice" but a personal identity, a claim supported by the American Psychology Association (APA), and that all working people have a right to be judged by the quality of their work performance and not by completely unrelated factors.

According to a study published in 2001 by the Williams Institute at the UCLA School of Law, reports of discrimination based on sexual orientation are roughly equal to those on race or gender.

The APA also states that there is significant discrimination against homosexuals in the workforce.

The Congressional Budget Office in 2002 estimated that the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission's complaint caseload would rise by 5 to 7% as a result of the proposed law. Assessments of the impact of comparable state policies also show a minimal impact on caseload.

Regarding constitutionality, the act incorporates language similar to that of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which has consistently been upheld by the courts.
