SCOTUS Slaps Down Conservative College's Lawsuit!

Liberty University, a conservative Christian university was denied a venue at the Supreme Court.

The country's most conservatively Christian university has been handed a defeat.

The Associated Press reports The Supreme Court has turned away a Christian university's attempt to overturn a key part of the Obama administration's health care law.

The justices did not comment Monday in leaving in place a federal appeals court ruling dismissing Liberty University's lawsuit.

Affirmative Action case is on the docket. 

Liberty made several arguments in challenging the portion of the health care law that requires most employers to provide health insurance to their workers or pay a fine. The 4th U.S. Circuit of Appeals in Richmond, Va., rejected those claims.

The Supreme Court separately is considering whether for-profit corporations can mount religious objections to the law's requirement to include birth control among preventive health benefits.

The case is Liberty University v. Lew, 13-306

Jerry Falwell, the late founder of the university.

The Jerry Falwell founded institution is still working in them "good ole days" of segregation.

The Republican faithful flock to the college to deliver their commencement speeches and presidential ambitions. Many have thanked the holier than thou Jerry Falwell on christening their legacies.

It was the tool to victory during the 1970s to 1990s. You had to speak at Liberty University if you're seeking the Republican nomination. Nowadays, you can't get a boost in credibility if you're too conservative.

Perennial loser Mitt Romney found out the hard way about carrying his ass to the right.

Liberty University is a private, Christian university located in Lynchburg, Virginia. It is the largest Evangelical Christian university in the world, the nation's largest private nonprofit university and 7th largest four-year university, and the largest university in Virginia.

The university was founded as Lynchburg Baptist College in 1971 by right wing bigot Jerry Falwell.

Liberty University describes itself as a Christian academic community. Its stated mission and aims emphasize both the intellectual and spiritual development of the institution's students.

Students are held to The Liberty Way, a strict morality code of behavioral conduct.

Tell Ya Sexual Partner You Got HIV Or Go To The Iron College!

Nick Rhodes must wear GPS tracking when he goes to work. He is on probation for failing to tell his partner that he's got the deadly virus. He and millions of Americans infected could be sentenced to the iron college if they were tested for HIV and have unprotected sex with women and men.

Buzzfeed tells a story of a gay man who was threatened with time in the iron college after he revealed to his partner that he was tested positive for HIV. The man engaged in sex with his partner and wore a condom.

But in the state of Iowa, the partner can contact the law even if the person they've slept with is HIV positive and regardless if they wore protection, the partner's life was in danger.

It's a CLASS 3 FELONY in the United States for a person to have engage in sex if they knowingly have HIV and they failed to notify their sexual partners. You could get LIFE in the iron college if you're one of the reckless individuals caught up in this.

Earlier this year, a woman from Cincinnati attacked her partner after she told him she's infected. A man from Missouri was arrested after he had slept with 300 men and women and failed to tell the one partner he infected.

Whether you're straight or gay, sex is a pleasure and a problem.

Agreed, most Americans love sex.

I LOVE SEX.

But in the digital age, sex is promoted through the music, the television, the books, the movies, the video games and yes the news.

It's a billion dollar industry. It's the American Porn Industry. That big breast woman or the huge penis man could be the newest sensation for bored couples. Yeah, who's not turned on by that?

Prostitution is the world's oldest profession and women get easy cash for dangerous risks.

Teachers sleeping with their students, managers sleeping with their co-workers, politicos caught in sex scandals and individuals getting caught in public having sex.

HIV is still here. It's going to be here and until there's a cure, it's going to be an epidemic in America and the rest of the world.

Nick Rhodes a man from Iowa was booked for having sex with his 22-year old partner Adam Plendl.

His ordeal went from on online connection to almost getting 25 years in the iron college for even daring to have a loving relationship.

He shares his story with ProPublica and Buzzfeed.

Dems: Republicans Get A New Talking Point! Obamacare Website Running Right!

Besides the internet you can tell a friend, call the phone number and or get applications from government agencies. The Healthcare Marketplace website was the center of conservative ire and President Barack Obama's job approval going downward.

Looks like a month of bad news may be coming to an end for the embattled president. For over two months, we've heard stories about the Healthcare Marketplace website being a total failure.

Time for the Republicans to get a new talking point.

The president's credibility and trustworthiness came into question after it was revealed the contractors for the government website did a shoddy job. It cost millions and gave Republicans a talking point.

It also gave the president a record low job approval, his first since he won reelection this year.

Now the website hasn't gotten the 100% seal of approval, but the White House can report that it's getting better. The Marketplace website may have met its deadline of November 30.

They did conclude that the website may still experience problems, but it won't be the ones that caused such great controversy.

This morning I've haven't seen one report on CBS This Morning from right wing turdporters Jan Crawford or Sheryl Attikson about the Marketplace so far.

Of course this was the first hour of the program. It may happen during its second hour or during the week.

You know that it's been some of the most contentious debate so far. The Republicans worrying themselves over a website instead of jobs and immigration reform.

The 112th Congress could become even worse than the 111th. With the House of Representatives body schedule for the remaining days relatively low, many see this Congress as a "do nothing".

The Senate passed immigration reform this year and the House confirmed that its dead in the water.

The Congress spent a fraction of the year trying to repeal the Affordable Care Act.

Four people are confirmed dead.

We don't know what's going on but I can assure you that President Barack Obama, Mayor Michael Bloomberg, mayor-elect Bill de Blasio, and Governor Andrew Cuomo were notified.

Paul Walker Passes Away!

Actor Paul Walker dies in tragic car crash.

Hollywood mourns the lost of an iconic figure in the Fast & Furious movie franchise.

We here at Journal de la Reyna send our condolences to the family of Paul Walker.

The outpouring of sympathy came last night into the early morning. Paul Walker and his friend died in a tragic car crash on his way to a charity event for victims of Super Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines.

His death may shake up the upcoming Fast & Furious franchise. His death leaves a legacy of acting.

He leaves behind a teenage daughter.

From Wikipedia: Paul William Walker IV (September 12, 1973 – November 30, 2013) was an American actor. He became famous in 1999 after his role in the hit film Varsity Blues, but later became best known for starring as Brian O'Conner in The Fast and the Furious film series. His other films include Eight Below, Into the Blue, She's All That, and Takers. He also appeared on the National Geographic Channel series Expedition Great White.

Walker was killed as a passenger in a car crash on November 30, 2013, in Valencia, California.


Walker began his small screen career as a toddler, when he starred in a television commercial for Pampers. He began modeling at the age of 2 and began working on television shows in 1985, with roles in shows such as Highway to Heaven, Who's the Boss?, The Young and the Restless, and Touched by an Angel. Also in 1985, he starred in a commercial for Showbiz Pizza.

Walker's film career began in 1986, with the horror/comedy film Monster in the Closet. He and his sister Ashlie were contestants on a 1988 episode of the game show I'm Telling!; they finished in second place. He continued with roles in several other movies without much success; it was not until 1998 that Walker made his feature film debut in the comedy Meet the Deedles, which finally gained him fame. This subsequently led to supporting roles in the movies Pleasantville (1998), Varsity Blues (1999), She's All That (1999), and The Skulls (2000).

In 2001, Walker's breakthrough role arrived when he starred opposite actor Vin Diesel in the successful action film The Fast and the Furious. The film established Walker as a notable film star and leading man and led to his reprisal of the role in the 2003 sequel 2 Fast 2 Furious. He continued his career with leading roles in films such as Joy Ride (2001), Into the Blue (2005), and Timeline (2003); he also had a supporting role in Clint Eastwood's 2006 adaptation of Flags of Our Fathers.

Walker then starred in the crime thriller Running Scared and Walt Disney Pictures' Eight Below, both released in 2006. Eight Below garnered critical-acclaim and opened in first place at the box office, grossing over US$20 million during its first weekend.

During the filming of Running Scared, director Wayne Kramer stated that "[Walker] is that guy on some level" when comparing Walker with his character in the movie, Joey Gazelle. Kramer continued on to say that he "loved working with [Walker] because as a director he's completely supportive of my vision of what the film is. And even better, he's completely game for it."

Walker starred in the independent film The Lazarus Project, which was released on DVD on October 21, 2008. He subsequently returned to The Fast and the Furious franchise, reprising his role in Fast & Furious, which was released on April 3, 2009.

Walker then appeared with T.I., Idris Elba, Chris Brown, Matt Dillon, and Hayden Christensen in the crime drama Takers, which began filming in early September 2008 and was released in August 2010.

In February 2013, it was announced that he was to play Agent 47 in the Hitman film adaptation.

He was also an avid car enthusiast who competed in the Redline Time Attack racing series in which he raced a M3 E92 and was on the AE Performance Team. His car was sponsored by Etnies, Brembo Brakes, Ohlins, Volk, OS Giken, Hankook, Gintani, and Reach Out Worldwide.

Walker had been preparing for an auto show prior to his death.

Young Buck And Game Are Working Together!

Game and Young Buck hope to record an album in the future. 

More news from the washed up celebrity bin. The hip-hop stans aren't saying GGGG-Unit.

They're not rocking the G-Unit Sneakers. They're not drinking the Formula 50 Vitamin Water. G-Unit Clothing is either in a Goodwill or a local flea market. The G-Unit video games are probably in the clearance music store.

Man, how the mighty have fallen!

When Get Rich or Die Tryin' came out, Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson was a in demand rapper. The album went on to be one of the best albums so far. It sold over 8 million albums.

Being a signed act on Eminem's Shady Records and Dr. Dre's Aftermath Entertainment, 50 Cent built a legacy of firearms, bitches and narcotics. When the label was in its prime, G-Unit had 50 Cent on top.

50 Cent picked fights with Ja Rule, Fat Joe, Rick Ross, Kanye West, Jay-Z, Jadakiss, Bill O'Reilly, Oprah, and his own family.

50 Cent, Lloyd Banks, Tony Yayo, Young Buck and The Game were at the top during their rise to chart topping sales. The downward spiral began when 50 Cent "fired" The Game from the group.

Game would later retaliate against 50 Cent by "exposing" his fake gangsta cred. He would release a handful of disses aimed at his former boss and his crew. 50 Cent would later dismiss Young Buck in 2007 and Lloyd Banks in 2011.

50 Cent once stated that if he had to do over, he wouldn't ever resign them "bum Niggas" to the label.

50 Cent, Young Buck, Lloyd Banks, Game, and Tony Yayo.

Young Buck was having a downward spiral. From being a drug abuser to being a fraudulent taxpayer, Buck was getting the hard lesson of reality. He would later be sentenced to the iron college for 20 months for weapon charges.

He would file for Chapter 13 bankruptcy protection in August 2010, shortly after an IRS raid on his home. His bankruptcy lawyer later told The City Paper that he was planning to sue 50 Cent and other parties over the record contract dispute.

During this incident, the rapper lost his home got his children's toys lifted, his Escalade reposed and his wife's wedding ring removed.

The IRS made plans to auction off Young Buck's seized property on October 28, 2010, but his legal counsel filed suit to halt the sale, while simultaneously re-filing a revised bankruptcy petition that no longer referenced a $5 million legal claim against 50 Cent and other parties associated with G-Unit.

50 Cent has kept a relatively low profile since his domestic dispute charge. He's working on his reality based show. Tony Yayo and Lloyd Banks released mixtapes this year. 50 Cent is considering dumping the G-Unit brand and reestablishing his own brand of talents.

50 Cent would later taunt Game and Young Buck by releasing audio recordings of the rappers crying and pleading to the media mogul about how they've fucked up. Buck was taunted for being a cry baby and Game for being bipolar. The Game would later confirm his mental illness.

Game and Buck would later record more disses aiming at 50 Cent, Eminem and Dr. Dre for being "backstabbers". And they were hoping that Interscope would finally release them from their obligations as recording artists.

Game would later settle his feuds with Dr. Dre, Suge Knight and Big Sean. And even posed in pictures with them.

Buck would get out of the iron college and make peace with his former G-Unit crew (with exception of 50 Cent).

It's confirmed that Game and Young Buck working back together.

Game got dropped from Interscope. He would end up signing to Cash Money Records. His previous album Jesus Piece was considered a flop despite having some decent songs on the album. Many consider the Cash Money move a mistake. He will compete with Grammy award winning acts Drake, Nicki Minaj and Lil' Wayne.

But if you're on the only label that manages to put hits out, Game made the right decision.

Buck hasn't released an album since his sophomore album Buck The World came out.

50 Cent had his project Street King Immortal pushed back.

The last Aftermath Entertainment acts that came out this year were Kendrick Lamar and Eminem.

The last Shady Records artists that came out were Yelawolf, Slaughterhouse and Bad Meets Evil.

Dr. Dre's Detox is postponed and 50 Cent's album is heavily delayed.

50 Cent had threatened to dump Eminem and Dr. Dre when this album drops.

Young Buck and Game were once trading insults and threats online, now it's BFFs again.

What's your thoughts on this?

Do you think that these entertainers are way pass their prime or still rocking the beats?

Conservatives: We Told You So! The "KNOCKOUT GAME" Is Real!

NYPD is searching for the guy who punched a woman unconscious.

Heartless and callous is the words I have for any individual who attacks random strangers with a five finger roll. Doesn't matter if they're Black, Hispanic or White, you participate in this bullshit, you're ass should be arrested for it.

A 76-year old woman was attacked in Brooklyn. Now it's becoming a mainstream controversy ginned up to make "US BLACK FOLK" the 'natural born criminals' the racist right claims we be!

Now since the White extremists are worked up and the junk food media now wants to find something to filter their time on, here comes the "Knockout Game".

Another race story, call this guy!

In the beginning I've never heard of this. I still don't believe this thing exist. Don't get me wrong, crime happens and what these individuals do is a crime. No human being should relish in randomly hitting a person without merit.

I mean how many drunken patrons get into a five finger roll?

Did you happen to see what happen during Black Friday 2013?

I don't condone this crazy shit. That shit right there makes me shake my head in disgust saying that you can't fix stupid and stupid is a disease that affects millions.

Some commentators in the United States have cast doubt that the knockout game is an actual trend and have termed it a myth or an example of moral panic. (I.e. Public Enemy's Fear Of A Black Planet)

Others have focused on the perception that the game is racially motivated and have called for it to be labeled a hate crime.

In some cases, media reports have specified that knockout attacks are "played" as a violent game. However, the "game" aspect of is of questionable status; claims concerning attacks range from urban myths, random unprovoked acts of aggression to an actual "game". Police in New York City questioned whether they were faced with a trend or simply a series of isolated incidents.

An attack in Pittsburgh in 2012 was tentatively linked to the recent attacks, although it was never identified as part of any "game".

However, New York State Assemblyman Jim Tedisco put forward legislation explicitly referencing "knockout" in order to charge juvenile offenders in these type of attacks as adults.

Police in in Syracuse, New York, reported that one assailant in a fatal attack admitted to it being "knockout", with a police sergeant noting that the assaults he was investigating were definitely "for a game" rather than being attempted murders or robberies.

On November 23, 2013, The New York Times reported that police officials in New York City were considering their position on the "game" and if they should advise the public, but had to contend with the uncertain existence of the game.

Many officials have outright refused to refer to the assaults as a "game", with Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter explicitly stating he did not want to give it any credibility while at a press conference after an attack at a Philadelphia pizzeria where the suspects never mentioned the game following the event. Likewise, New York Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly refused to refer to the attacks in Brooklyn as the "knockout game" to avoid possible copycat attacks.

Colin Flahtery, the new Andrew Breitbart.

Several attacks being associated with the "knockout game" do not follow any particular pattern; in several instances a single assailant attempts the one-punch attack, while in others multiple assailants participate in a gang attack. The "Knockout King" death of Nguyen in St. Louis was such a gang attack, and an alleged trend in Lansing, Michigan, called "point 'em out, knock 'em out" involved the use of a Taser.


n the coverage of the attacks in 2013, some conservative political commentators have focused on racial factors, alleging that the crimes are being committed primarily by African American youth and criticizing the media for ignoring the alleged racial nature of these attacks.

Bill-O (Bill O'Reilly), That Guy Who Helped Obama Win (Sean Hannity), Asshat Colin (Colin Flahtery), and That Guy Who Throws Shit To The Wall (Matt Drudge) have pushed the narrative of Black on White crime.

Loserville described the "Knockout" attacks as "another example of young black Americans committing senseless crimes" and expressed disappointment "they are getting precious little attention" in the junk food media.

Of course, you'll hear word vomit about President Barack Obama and Trayvon Martin.

Jeffrey Butts, the director of right wing John Jay College of Criminal Justice's Research and Evaluation Center, stated that the knockout game is likely being seen "through the lens of race" and that the fear stems from racial roots.

Emma Roller of Slate and Jamelle Bouie of The Daily Beast remarked that in a number of news reports, focus was specifically paid to attacks on white victims with the suspects being young black men. Roller and Bouie also questioned figures used to show that the event is spreading, with Roller further questioning the validity of YouTube videos as evidence for the knockout game.

In response to the prevalence in the media, Rev. Perm condemned the attacks, as he noted the black community would not be silent if they were the victims.

Those critical of the existence of the trend have pointed out that the aspect of race appears to be hyped by bloggers who want to highlight attacks on whites by black suspects.

J. Cole: Kendrick Lamar's Ego Gonna Get His Teeth Knocked Out!

J. Cole warns Kendrick Lamar that his antics will get him knocked out!

Kendrick Lamar once rapped a verse on the single Forbidden Fruit off the Born Sinner album from North Carolina rapper/singer J. Cole.

Now all of a sudden, Kendrick Lamar called out J. Cole, Big Sean, Big K.R.I.T., Tyler The Creator, Drake, Mac Miller, Meek Mill, Pusha T, A$AP Rocky, Wale and Jay Electronica along with numerous other rappers in the ultimate diss.

On the single Control which was scrapped from Big Sean's sophomore album Hall Of Fame, Kendrick Lamar put the challenge out there. He was going for blood literally.

"I got love for you all but I'm tryin' to murder you niggas / Trying to make sure your core fans never heard of you niggas / They don't want to hear not one more noun or verb from you niggas."

In the same verse, he proclaims himself to be "the king of New York" and "king of the Coast".

J. Cole.

Lamar's Twitter account saw a 510% increase in followers in the week following the track's release, while his Wikipedia page garnered 200,000 page views.

J. Cole basically laughed off the diss and even aimed a shot at the rapper.

Justin Timberlake's TKO (produced by Timbaland) features Kendrick Lamar. The "Black Friday Remix" from Timberlake himself puts in the rivals A$AP Rocky, Pusha T and J. Cole, the latter of whom uses it as an opportunity to respond back to the Lamar.

Cole to the rescue, never save a ho
Hoes like to hide their behavior though
Thought you was a down ass bitch
‘Til I found that shit a couple days ago
I was home alone, next thing I know
That long as verse from a song called “Control” was on
The room got nearer, the tomb got clearer
That’s when I seen the shit playin’ on your phone
Girl, what is that? A ringtone?
Shit, not you too
Man, that hype done got you too
Everybody and their momma gassed,
Even my momma asked what I’mma do
Decisions, decisions
In case this is war, then I load up on all ammunition
If a nigga want problems, my trigger’s on auto
I’ll make sure that nobody miss him
Now pack up your shit, you don’t believe in me
I don’t need you, I got me, bitch
Same nigga moved to NYC, bitch
Got a record deal and a college degree, bitch
Two gold plaques, I produced all the tracks
And I never ever ever leave no Jay Z, bitch
And after all that achievement
Real nigga never even went and got his teeth fixed
Now you try to play me, bitch?
I’ll knock your ass out

Take a little trip into the garden and put out the diss and I bet ya respond.

Kendrick Lamar hasn't responded to the diss, but assured he will.

Kendrick Lamar is a member of Black Hippy a Los Angeles based rap group that consist of him, Schoolboy Q, Ab-Soul and Jay Rock. They appear on the label Top Dogg Entertainment. Kendrick as a solo artist signed to the Aftermath Records label. He got the blessing of his mentor Dr. Dre and was a featured artist on Eminem's Marshall Mathers 2 LP.

"Birther" Black Preacher Still Attacking Obama!

Birther Black preacher is back attacking Obama. He claims that the DC crazed driver was Obama's baby mama!

The infamous ATLAH Worldwide preacher is back in the saddle. He's making another video and he's still attacking President Barack Obama.

In 2008, the fool called President Barack Obama the "long legged mack daddy" and was a featured guest on That Guy Who Helped Obama & Alan Colmes' program in 2008.

He was even chastised by many in the Black community as being a "fringe extremist".

James David Manning is back again on his birther radio show accusing the president of having an affair with the woman who led the DC police on a chase throughout the U.S. Capitol.

The U.S. Capitol police ended up shooting and killing Miriam Carey, a 34 year old woman from Connecticut. She was with her daughter at the time of this event. The police concluded that Carey has mental issues and believed that President Barack Obama was stalking her in her home. Some believed that the woman claimed Obama father her child.

She was treated for depression.

The right wing pastor claims that the president ordered a "hit" on Carey.

On his radio show The Manning Report, Manning called for a paternity test of Carey’s fifteen-month-old daughter, who was in the car with Carey when she led police on a chase that ended in gunfire on the Capitol steps.

The theory, which appears to have originated with a Russian website, alleges that before a May 2011 graduation address to the U.S. Coast Guard Academy, Obama stopped at the dentist office where Carey worked as an assistant, because a piece of pistachio shell had become lodged in his back moral.

While there, according to the theory, Obama struck up a friendship with Carey, who became pregnant shortly afterward. The website claimed that Carey refused Obama’s request to have an abortion, at which point Obama “lured” her to Washington and had her killed. (Even more bizarrely, the site goes to claim that Obama was out trolling for extramarital action because Michelle Obama was actually born a man.)

Manning accused the “entire world media” of refusing to investigate the incident, and chastised Rev. Perm, Cut His Nuts Off Jackson, women’s rights groups, academia, and the courts for “refusing to come to the aid of this slaughtered woman, which means that they are protecting something that they feel far more important, which is Barack Hussein Obama. Case closed.”

Manning said Obama “crushed out [Carey's] life, and no one will come to her aid.” He would have gotten away with it, too, had it not been for that pistachio nut.

Here's a dose of the stupidity from James David Manning.

Holiday Woes!

Shooting at Kohl's in suburban Chicago.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Marissa Alexander Out Of The Iron College!

Mom who shot in the air got out for the holidays as her retrial begins.

The woman who became the focal point of the controversial "stand your ground" law in Florida is released from the iron college.

The Raw Story reports that Marissa Alexander was released Wednesday night on more than $200,000 bond while she waits to be retried on three charges starting March 31.

She must remain under house arrest and electronic monitoring until then.

The 1st District Court of Appeal ordered the retrial in September after ruling a judge had not properly instructed the jury that convicted Alexander.

But the appeals court decided the judge properly blocked Alexander from using the state’s “stand your ground” law in her defense, noting that she could have run out of the house to escape but instead got a gun and went back inside.

The 33-year-old Jacksonville woman said she fired the bullet into a wall in 2010 to scare off her husband because he was threatening her.

A jury rejected her self-defense claim and convicted Alexander of aggravated assault and discharging a firearm, triggering the 20-year term under the state’s mandatory minimum guidelines for gun crimes.

She has served about 18 months of the original term.

Alexander’s supporters have contrasted her case with the trial of George Zimmerman, who was acquitted in July in the fatal 2012 shooting of Trayvon Martin.

No one was injured when Alexander fired the warning shot during a confrontation with her husband.

Alexander had rejected a plea deal that could have resulted in a three-year term and instead chose to go to trial, and she was convicted after 12 minutes of deliberation by jurors.

She was also charged with domestic battery four months after the shooting after another incident involving her husband.

Alexander pleaded no contest and was sentenced to time served.

State Attorney Angela Corey, who oversaw the Zimmerman prosecution, has defended her handling of Alexander’s case, saying she believed the woman had aimed a gun toward her husband and his two sons, and that the bullet could have ricocheted and hit any of them.

So what's your opinion on this story?

France May End Sex Tourism!

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

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

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

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

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

France is pretty much lax on the rules of prostitution.

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

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

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

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

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

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