Todd Kincannon: I'm Not A Thug! I Was On The Meds When I Pimp Slapped My Wife!

Todd Kincannon put the smack down on his wife. He claims he was doped up on meds when he threatened to kill his wife Ashely. He was the former South Carolina Republican chairman. This clown is notorious for internet trolling and throwing racially charged insults at Blacks.

This guy Todd Kincannon was the former Republican chairman from South Carolina. He was the guy on the social media calling Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown, "thugs". He concluded that George Zimmerman and Darren Wilson did the world a favor by putting slugs in these unarmed men.

Now it seems like Todd has to look into the mirror once a while. He's caught some flack after the junk food media reported on him slapping his wife in a domestic violence dispute.

He was accused by his wife of unlawful restraint. He got into a shouting match with her and physically restrained her.

The Charleston City Paper reports that Kincannon's wife Ashely Suzanne Griffith wants out. She believes that the man is crazy. She told the law they “have a history of unreported domestic violence.” She said she was “extremely fearful” of Kincannon and described him as being “extremely ‘traditional’ and controlling, thus becoming very upset due to embarrassing him,” according to the report. From the report (Note: Kincannon’s full name is listed as James John Todd Kincannon; the report refers to him as James):

“Ashely continued to tell me after leaving the work function, James began screaming at Ashely while they drove in their car. Ashely told James to let her out of their car to which he refused. Ashely proceeded to roll down the window and scream for James to let her out, hoping a bystander would call 9-1-1.”

She went on to tell the deputy that, while Kincannon was driving the car in a Chick-fil-A parking lot at about 5 mph, she attempted to get out of the vehicle, but “James grabbed Ashely’s arm, squeezing it tightly, thus preventing her from exiting the vehicle,” according to the report. She told the deputy that she hit Kincannon’s arm several times in an attempt to escape, but Kincannon accelerated and she was unable to get out.

The mighty Todd and his tweets.

From the report:

Ashley continued to tell me she called her mother for help and attempted to call 9-1-1 with an open line in order for the dispatcher to hear James. While driving, James saw a police vehicle and ‘freaked out.’ James threatened he would drive the car into a concrete barrier if the cops became involved. In addition, James also threatened to kill himself if Ashely left. Ashely continued to tell me James has made several threats in the past to kill himself, her, and her family. Furthermore, Ashely said she has past incidents of domestic violence and threats of homicide/suicide recorded. I saw no visible injuries to Ashely, she provided me with a written statement, and was issued a victim’s pamphlet. It should be noted Ashely was trembling as she wrote her statement.

The deputy then returned to Kincannon, who reportedly denied grabbing his wife’s arm and threatening to kill himself. He “did say Ashely informed him she wanted out of the car at which time he pulled into a ‘Chik-fil-A’ parking lot,” according to the report, but “Upon entering the parking lot, Ashely changed her mind and said she did not want to get out.”

The officer wrote that because of “Ashely’s statements of James killing himself,” the officer called in an EMS unit, who transported Kincannon to Lexington Medical Center for “further evaluation.”

Wondering if Ashely could have been armed?

Could she just "stand her ground"?

Kincannon had to put the brakes on his social networking. He's been laying low.

Todd was on the Benzonatate when he tweeted these nuggets.

Kincannon claims his violent tempers stems from drug use. He attached a photo of a prescription bottle of Benzonatate with his name on the label. He later added that the reaction was “most likely my fault for chewing the capsule and accidentally overdosing.” He adds: “You’d think a guy with my IQ would know better, but I have to admit I didn't pay any attention to the instructions when I took the stuff. I just wanted to stop coughing my head off and took the prescription without reading the label. Lesson learned, and as Admiral James T. Kirk would say, ‘double dumbass’ on me. (That’s a Star Trek IV reference in case you’re curious.)”

WebMD lists confusion and hallucination as possible side effects of benzonatate.

The City Paper asked Kincannon to comment on the allegations of death and suicide threats and domestic abuse, and he wrote:

My wife says she only discussed stuff that happened since I'd been on the Benzonatate, which hadn't been very long. Once we got to the hospital and it got out of my system, I went back to normal and am totally fine now.

When asked how long he had been taking Benzonatate, Kincannon said he had the prescription filled on March 5 and started taking the capsules daily. "I recall taking them but don't recall chewing any until yesterday," he said on Friday.

What if the law was seeing him threatening his wife and he decides to pull out his firearm or a knife?

Could Kincannon use the Benzonatate as an excuse as well?

What's your thoughts on this agitator's latest bout of misfortune?

We here at Journal de la Reyna send our prayers to Ashely and wish her safe travels. Hopefully she can help end this nightmare by leaving this guy?

Is The Junk Food Media Gonna Call Distraught University of Kentucky Fans A Bunch Of Animals?

A musing from the random thoughts....

I missed the Final Four playoffs. I missed the NCAA-1 men's basketball game between the University of Kentucky Wildcats and the University of Wisconsin Badgers.

Two Big Ten teams remained while one SEC and one ACC continued to shine.

Duke easily beat the Cinderella. Big Ten's Michigan State Spartans was quickly defeated in the first game.

Duke's Blue Devils have secured the final chair. Now everyone was expecting that UK was going to cruise through Wisconsin. This bitter rivalry came from the previous encounter. The SEC UK Wildcats ran a train on the Big Ten Wisconsin Badgers.

The game was highly anticipated. After a tough fought game, Wisconsin put the brakes on UK's flawless season. The game 71 - 64 was a huge upset. The #1 seated UK was defeated by #3 Wisconsin.

As you know, the junk food media loves to make the news. Lexington, Kentucky is were the UK resides. Wondering how the fans reacted to the devastating loss?

Wondering, had it been a grand jury decision in which a police officer walked free after killing an unarmed teen, would the junk food media call these fans a bunch of rioters and looters?

Double standard?

Let's add the main ingredient to that question.

Had it been a grand jury decision in which a White police officer walked free after killing an unarmed Black man, would the junk food media call these White fans a bunch of rioters and looters?

See in the junk food media, you hear about how Blacks are labeled looters and rioters.

But when you hear a bunch of drunk college students react to a sports team's win or loss, you hear this as unrest or college students reacting to a loss.

These college students rioting could total in the millions. Lexington will have to fit the bill to the state.

Just young kids having fun, right?

Duke Blue Devils will take on the Wisconsin Badgers on Monday for the NCAA-Div. 1 National Basketball Championship in Indianapolis. Good luck to the teams. Watch the game on CBS.

The Law Gonna Neuter DMX!

This dog has seen better days. DMX is being investigated in a robbery.

Neutering the Grand Champ. Earl Simmons, Jr. known by the music as DMX is in some hot water.

According to the junk food media, a man alleged that DMX and his crew barked and bit the victim at a gas station in New Jersey. Now the law is considering putting the dog in a cage.

Newark police are investigating a 21-year old's claim that he got jacked at a local Exxon gas station over the weekend. The victim claims that the rapper and him struck a conversation.

In a few minutes, DMX's bodyguards showed a gun and told the victim to empty his pockets and give up his phone. As the victim hands his stuff, DMX's crew head out. The victim decides to follow the SUV and grab the license plate.

The victim says that he got lifted of $3200 and his phone.

DMX and his reps are not commenting on this claim. If there's charges, the dog could be facing grand theft and assault. Those charges could put the dog in the cage for 20 years.

DMX, 44-years old came into the music scene in the late 1990s and was best known for the songs "Ruff Ryders Anthem", "What These Girls Want", "Party Up (In Here)", and "Where The Hood At".

The grimy and yet philosophical rapper has become washed up.

All bark but no bite. DMX spent time in Maricopa lock up when he was busted numerous times for driving under the influence. The controversial sheriff Joe Arpaio made him a "star" during his stay.

His run ins with the law from drug charges, animal cruelty, child support, driving the vehicles without a license, and disorderly conduct.

DMX's fall from grace was the day he was busted in Arizona for doing 135 in a 75 mph zone. The law had found him with narco (cocaine, marijuana and alcohol) and an unregistered in the glove compartment. The controversial sheriff of Maricopa County Joe Arpaio decided to make DMX a queen in the county lockup. He made him wear a pink jumpsuit and pink underwear.

Back in the hey days when I was a little hip-hop head, I was a big fan of the Ruff Ryders. The rap clique included DMX, Eve, The Lox (Jadakiss, Sheek Louch, and Styles P), Drag-On and in house producer Swizz Beatz.

They were the crew back then. I had one opportunity to see DMX at a concert. Back in 1999, Jay-Z launched his Hard Knock Life Tour which followed his Vol. 2 Hard Knock Life album. The tour made a stop in Dayton, Ohio at the Wright State University's Nutter Center.

That was my first hip-hop concert. It was promoted by Roc-A-Fella Records and Def Jam. It included Method Man, Redman, Memphis Bleek, Amil and Ja Rule. The headliners were Jay-Z and DMX.

The Ruff Ryders were top billing along with Cash Money Records. They did a joint concert tour in which Juvie (Juvenile), Lil' Wayne, B.G., Turk and The Big Tymers were the opening act and DMX, Eve and Jadakiss were the headliners.

In 2000, I went to the concert. The concert started really late. Cash Money performed their songs and this terrible comedian was the intermission. The comedian was supposed to be the warm up act, but it flopped. So as me and many concert goers were sitting patiently. It was getting late and about almost 12am, the concert promoter came out saying that the Ruff Ryders weren't coming out.

People were pissed. I spent $80 to see a concert. DMX, Eve and Jadakiss skipped the act. I said that I'll never buy an album from these guys ever again!

Now you see where are they now?

The Ruff Ryders are washed up. No one is banging their music. Maybe that DMX's "Party Up (In Here)" song still gets rotation, but are you really bumping him?

They were supposed to come to Dayton to perform at the Nutter Center. That didn't happen.

They skipped the concert and many fans skipped their albums.

Now DMX, Eve, The Lox and Swizz Beatz are pretty much trying the independent circuit. Their buzz is faded and now the only thing that keeps them in the news is the fact they're doing either reality television or causing some infraction that lands them in the courts.

University of South Carolina Lays The Hammer On Student Who Wrote __________ On The Board!

Somehow the student who wrote the NIGGER on the white board didn't think the University of South Carolina would find out about it. After all it's nothing but a little bit of college humor.

I guess it's not funny when she and the person who took it got served a suspension.

The idiot got served. It's unfortunate that we live in a country where the junk food media rotates constant agitation. The moment the person hit that send button, she got her face published on the internet.

A foolish mistake.

And to be clear, wifi sucks wherever you go. You just can't blame them NIGGERS.

What's your take on this controversy?

Peace Deal!

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and Iran's foreign minister Mohammad Javad Zarif in Switzerland. The U,S, and global powers are working out a deal with Iran to ease sanctions. Conservatives are pissed over this.

The six world powers may have a miracle in the wings. Let's not go crazy, though. The United States and five global countries have worked out a deal to keep the Islamic Republic of Iran from developing nuclear weapons.

I am expected that the junk food media agitators, the Republican Party, some spineless Democrats and Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu will try their best to undermine this.

The war hawk Israeli leader is a thorn in the peace process. Many world leaders hate Netanyahu. Over here in the United States, many lawmakers and media agitators unzip their pants and let him plow in their asses.

The path to peace relies on negotiations. Iran is willing to settle their feud with the United States.

A bold move for the president, Many here were skeptical of this dela.

President Barack Obama spoke Thursday at the Rose Garden telling the junk food media about the legacies of past presidents and the deal that was proposed.

Under this deal, Iran will scrap the nuclear program and keep the low grade for safe use. The world powers will eventually lift economic sanctions and travel bans in exchange. Iran will allow UN inspectors check their facilities and will be offered alternatives to energy consumption.

I believe its a great idea. Some don't. That's why the president will spent time trying to convince the American people the deal.

As always I focus on that guy. Yeah, I hate mentioning him. But today I will.

Sean Hannity is by far the country's most annoying conservative agitator. He is one of the reasons why Barack Obama won his election, twice. This guy is a certified name dropping, name calling, fear mongering, ass kissing Republican who makes a living off of bitching about everything that he believes is wrong in America.

He has a right to be who he is. But seriously, the act is getting old and people are tuning him out.

He's so bad at what does, he doesn't realize that the cannon is ready to be fired. The chief, Roger Ailes sees that his show is pathetic. That's why he bumped him to the 10pm slot. The show is nothing but a waste of space in a timeslot normally reserved for second stringers.

I mean Rush Limbaugh is an old fart. His legacy will be marred by controversy. He's proud of that. He will die a happy man knowing he's pissed off people. Unlike Hannity, Limbaugh is tolerated.

The most annoying conservative agitator embraces the Israeli prime minster. The chickenshit Benjamin Netanyahu and Republicans do not like the deal proposed by President Barack Obama and the five world powers.

Hannity is not. Hannity is the worst. He can't even get it through his head that most of the things being done would have been done by George W. Bush. Don't you think Bush would be eager to talk to Iran? I mean obviously, most presidents would like to establish dialogue with countries (even if they're not supportive of the U.S.).

What's worse, the most annoying conservative agitator went into a tirade with White extremist Pat Buchanan a few days ago.

Usually these two often agree on issues. But today, Buchanan had to stray away from the usual talking points.

Hannity and most of the conservative agitators believe a deal with Iran is like Neville Chamberlain giving Adolf Hitler his way.

That's probably the worst analogy ever to exist. We live in the United States  and they have the right to criticize. No one is denying them the right to push out idiotic opinions,

Spring Backwards!

Since Republicans took full control of Congress, we've seen the beginning of a weaken economy. The president will continue to issue executive orders to get the ball rolling.

Well, we're in the first two months of a full Republican controlled Congress. Since they've taken control of Congress, we've expected that the job market was to start stalling. I am proven right.

The month of March netted less than 126,000 jobs giving this Spring quarter weak growth. That means the unemployment number will stall at 5.5%

Numerous factors come forth. Weather. 

We've experience a rough Winter in the month of March. Many of the factors according to the AP include a weakened U.S. economy. 

The Labor Department says the unemployment rate remained at 5.5 percent. Economic growth has been hammered this year by winter weather, factory slowdowns and lackluster construction activity. The manufacturing, construction and government sectors each shed workers, while hiring at restaurants plunged from February.

Job gains in February and January were revised down by 69,000.

Wage growth remains modest. Average hourly wages rose 7 cents to $24.86 an hour in March.

Past job growth along with cheaper gasoline has yet to significantly boost consumer spending. A continued deceleration in hiring could delay the Federal Reserve from raising interest rates mid-year.

This ends the longest streak of over 200,000 jobs.

See Republicans haven't passed legislation that offers incentives to businesses, a jobs bill,  a student loans bill and unemployment benefits. Things that the spineless Democrats were going to pass until they got fired out of the cannon.

Deputy Dogg!

Big Snoop posed with man working for the 5-O in Texas. The law wanted to fire the man for the pose.

Big Snoop Dogg once again pisses off the racist right. Back in March he appeared at the SXSW in Austin. He posted his daily routine on Instagram. The social media and the junk food media is pissed that the rap veteran posed with a Texas state trooper.

According to the Texas Department of  Public Safety,Trooper Billy Spears got reprimanded by superiors for allowing rapper Snoop Dogg to take a picture with him.

The Dallas Morning News reports Clevenger said the Gilmer-based trooper was called to Austin two weeks ago to help work during the music festival. Spears was in uniform with the distinctive Stetson in a secured area when the rap star and actor stopped and asked if he could get a quick photo with the trooper.

Clevenger said Snoop Dogg’s publicist took the picture.

Snoop Dogg posted the picture on Instagram, along with the line, “Me n my deputy dogg”

DPS officials saw the posting and cited Spears for deficiencies that require counseling for posing with a known criminal.

Calvin Broadus, aka Snoop Dogg, has been convicted several times of drug possession. In 1993, he faced a murder charge when his bodyguard shot and killed a rival gang member. Snoop Dogg and the bodyguard eventually were acquitted of the charge.


Clevenger said that Spears, had no knowledge of drug convictions.

“Troopers get called down to work these events all the time and sometimes people want a picture with them,” Clevenger said.

Because the action taken against Spears called for “counseling” and was not a formal disciplinary action, the trooper has no means of appeal.

The counseling reprimand read: “While working a secondary employment job, Trooper Spears took a photo with a public figure who has a well-known criminal background including numerous drug charges. The public figure posted the photo on social media and it reflects poorly on the Agency.”

Me n my deputy dogg 🔫🌟✨

A photo posted by snoopdogg (@snoopdogg) on Mar 20, 2015 at 11:03am PDT

An entertainer poses with the law and the Texas Board of Safety orders the officer to get counseling.

There's something else brewing between Spears and his superiors. He once complained to higher ups about inappropriate behavior by some in the uniform.

He believes its retaliation.

Snoop Dogg teams up with Pharrell again. His newest album BUSH will be released on Columbia Records in May. Last album was a reggae album when he called himself Big Snoop Lion.

Snoop Dogg appeared with Hulk Hogan at a honorary WWE introduction. He also was at the Justin Bieber Comedy Central Roast.

NSA Shooting: The Suspects Were Geekin' Transgender Prostitutes!

Ricky "Maya" Shawatza Hall was killed by the law after she crashed into the gates of the NSA. The FBI and Maryland state police determined that the suspect was a transgender prostitute who was trying flee the law after a botched robbery.

There was a story coming from the Washington, DC area. One suspect was killed after police opened fire on the vehicle that crashed through the gates of the National Security Administration near Fort Meade.

The suspects were apparently trying to flee the law after being tipped off that they stolen a vehicle.

Well the suspect Ricky Shawatza Hall (who goes by the name Maya) and her friend Kevin Fleming (unknown street name) were homeless. They were selling their bodies for drugs, food and shelter.

So Hall and Fleming were on the streets and a 60 year old man saw them. He picks them up and offers them an opportunity to make money. He figured that he was going to pay them at least $100 for a few hours and take them back to the streets. The suspects told the trick that he had to take a shower with them. So he gets undressed in the bathroom while the suspects clean his wallet and took his keys. As soon as he heard the door slam, the trick realized he was robbed.

Kevin Fleming's mugshot as a man. 

The suspects were geekers. Two prostitutes who robbed a trick. The suspects were transgender prostitutes from Baltimore who were picked up by a trick. The trick took them to a hotel in nearby Elkridge, MD. He probably knew the suspects were male. And he probably was a married man.

So the trick called the law, gave a description of the vehicle and told the law that they are within miles of the hotel.

Hall was driving the vehicle and Fleming was the passenger.

Hall exited off  MD State Route 295 (The Baltimore-Washington Parkway) near the NSA. There is an exit that is restricted to non-NSA officials.

They went into a restricted area. The officers immediately order the vehicle to stop.

According to the FBI, they refused order and plowed right through the gate. As soon as they plowed through the gate, the officers opened fire on the vehicle. Hall and Fleming were struck by the lead.

Hall crashed into a NSA police SUV. Hall was lifeless at the wheel. Fleming was also injured and is surviving on the ventilator. Fleming took a few to the chest.

Now many try to figure out if this was a case of either terrorism or just another horrible incident in which an unarmed suspect was killed by trigger happy cops.

We know they were suspects in a stolen vehicle. The suspects did have traces of the rock in possession and a firearm in the vehicle. The firearm probably belonged to the trick.

The sheet is over the suspect. The car was riddled with led. A NSA police unit vehicle destroyed.

The Howard County Sheriff may charge the trick for prostitution. The trick will probably have to have a bit of family counseling and a HIV test. Since he wasn't on the NSA property, his name isn't going to be released to the junk food media. Although, he may have a sense of vindication after the prostitutes were given a lead sandwich, the real problem lies between him and his wife. He doesn't have a vehicle to get to work. It's evidence. The trick's wife now believe her husband is gay or bisexual. He will probably have a cloud of shame hanging around him. He probably will be it doing again, but for the time being, he will have a lot of explaining to do with wife and family.

The FBI and Howard County Sheriff will determine if charges will be filed against Fleming should she survives the injuries. for theft, destruction of government property, drug and weapons possession and prostitution.

Hall end up paying the ultimate price. The bag 'em ups will do an autopsy on the suspect. They will determine if the suspect was binged on cocaine when this event happened. Maya earned herself a coffin and hundreds of mourners.

Expect the Westboro Baptist Church to picket the funeral.

The unfortunate tales of the grimy Baltimore streets. They thought in order to stay alive, they had to geek from tricks. They were accused of stealing from prostitutes, tricks, and charity.

I am assuming that Hall and Fleming came out as gay when they were young. They were rejected by family. They experience sex at an early age. I am guessing a family member or a male friend raped them when they were young. They were introduced to drugs. They fell in love with their fix and the dope boy. The dope boy would supply them with all their fixes. The only thing they had to do was let them get the loot and a little bit of head.

Hall and Fleming were probably raped, beaten and robbed during them days of hoeing. After all, transgender prostitutes are often beaten, raped, and killed by the tricks or anti-gay bigots.

Hall and Fleming spent time in the city lockup. Hall before had spent time in the iron college.

Transgender prostitutes often face more dangers because they're considered men in drag. Even if some are transitioning into women, some tricks may have a "panic" if they found out they got head from a woman who was biologically born a man.

In human trafficking, the need to satisfy the fix some turn to their friend the dope boy to help them make that money. Drugs are often associated with the hoeing game. The dope boy can become a prostitute's friend (aka pimp).

Pimps take advantage of female and transgender prostitutes. They offer them love and affection. They provide shelter, food and clothes. All they have to do for the pimp, is make them more money.

Do me a favor? Help my friend.

This hotel told the law that the trick was a regular customer.

The pimp will slut shame prostitutes. "You're not pretty. You can't make money if you look like this. You got to wear this in order to make men get you!"

The pimp will physically assault a prostitute. "Shut up bitch!"

Prostitutes will leave their children, legitimate boyfriends and husbands, and family to get a fix.

Crack cocaine and heroin are the common fix for prostitutes. Often prostitutes rely on sugar daddies and other females for protection. The pimp will always control his hoe.

If you don't get in line, you may end up in the white lines.

The FBI and state governments are trying to crack down on human trafficking. They are trying to push for needle exchanges, safe houses for prostitutes who want to leave the business,  harsher penalties for tricks, mandatory HIV testing for offenders, sexual awareness classes and family counseling.

Human trafficking and advocating prostitution could carry LIFE in the iron college.

Prostitution is a misdemeanor that could land the offender in the iron college for up to a year. If the prostitute or trick are HIV+, the charges are bumped to a CLASS THREE FELONY. That could carry up to 15 years in the iron college if the offender is caught.

Geeking is street lingo for stealing properties in order to acquire drugs.

We here at Journal de la Reyna send our condolences to the family of Maya Hall.

Conservative Outrage Over Trevor Noah!

The right complains about Comedy Central's Trevor Noah. He was chosen to be the new host of The Daily Show. Jon Stewart is leaving the show after 16 years hosting it.

Moments after Comedy Central announced Trevor Noah as the new host of The Daily Show, many on the racist right and the irrational left are calling the comedian/actor an anti-Semite and racist.

For what reason?

Because he tweets some jokes that some agitators never got. The agitators zeroed in on jokes that were posted to Noah's 2 million followers on Twitter. Some pointed out a few offensive jokes about women, Israel and  the Jews. Some criticized his stance on America.

Comedy Central is standing by Noah.

I mean the social media is catnip to agitators and the business community. Many people are often scrutinized for their online behavior. It's unfortunate that the social media can make or break someone.

Noah is a South African comedian who joined The Daily Show late last year. He was the international correspondent. Many conservatives zeroed in on his routine when he discussed the "Spot The Africa".  They claim that the joke was comparing the U.S. to the South African apartheid.

Noah, remarked the "Hands Up Don't Shoot" meme that conservatives are roundly denouncing.

When he was chosen as the new host, the media started to vet him.

Soon the agitators from Newsbusters, The Daily Nothing, and the conservative Craigslist have put his face on their pages. Of course, their readers and followers have often remarked about it in the "nicest" way.

The word vomit from conservatives is predictable. Insert a racial slur, a racial stereotype, claim liberal this, Obama that. Add a ton of condescending remarks about comedians and Hollywood. Throw in mentions of Africa, Muslims, Netanyahu and the Islamic State and sure enough, we a party going on right there in the comment section.

Noah will do fine. Fuck the haters.

If they don't understand the comedy, that's their problem. But if you're a comedian who talks about issues and spin it into comedy, you're going to be provocative and it's going to be truthful.

I mean if you criticize Israel, should you be labeled an anti-Semite for it?

Crime Is Colorless Unless The Junk Food Media Runs The Scary Black Mugshots!

The left exposes a newspaper's yellow journalism. These are the images of men who were accused of criminal acts. Each of these individuals are criminals but who will the racist right look at as more dangerous?

The Raw Story and the blog SoLetsTalkAbout notes the junk food media's profile of White and Black criminals. NO APRIL FOOLS JOKE, it's real.

In Cedar Rapids, The Gazette had to do some explaining. The online website ran two stories about criminal behavior. The difference in between the stories is race. What's surprising is the pictures of the White suspects came from their yearbook and the pictures of the Black suspects were simply mugshots from the county lockup.

The images used of Ross Lembeck, Seth Gross and Logan Ryan, all 19, were taken from the freshman yearbook. All the boys were wearing matching ties.

While the other images used, Kwain E. Crawford, 36; Milton Whitehead, 50; Quentin D.W. Eatman, 24; and Curtis J. Johnson, 29 in same online publication were just that. Those menacing mugs.

The racist right never ceases to amaze me.

Many pointed out that this discrepancy of images gives the reader the impression that these three men were upstanding citizens who just made a mistake. The other images gives the reader the impression they're good for nothing NIGGERS or insert Obama.

This went viral.

The Gazette endorsed perennial loser Mitt Romney for president. Kind of tells you what the publication's political views and how they view criminal acts by people of color.

The Iowa newspaper scrubbed from its website the distinguished images of three University of Iowa wrestlers accused of robbery.

So I am guessing the perception of images gives the media a reason. The same reason to think Michael Brown and Trayvon Martin deserve their deaths at the hands of either the law or a self righteous vigilante.

Religious Freedom Anchors The Ark!

Arkansas Republicans passed its version of religious freedom law and its state governor Asa Hutchinson will sign it into law despite outcry from activists and Walmart.

Governor Mike Pence (R) of Indiana is under intense pressure after he signed into state law this Religious Freedom Restoration Act, a bill that could protect bigoted business if they ban LGBT and non-religious residents. The law would be seen as a backdoor to outright discrimination.

Pence signed it into law last Monday and has been under fire since its signing.

National companies and even the city of Indianapolis' Republican mayor have called upon Pence to reconsider his decision. Pence has no intentions to call for a repeal of the law. However he's going to try to put a Band-Aid on a gunshot wound. He call upon Indiana lawmakers to amend the law to make it clear that no business shall be allowed to discriminate against anyone in his state.

Of course, the damage is done. Many entertainers, state governors and the NCAA have already threatened to bail out on Indy.

With the national championship game for Division I basketball being held in the state. Many athletes from both men and women's college basketball have quietly barked while allowing the coaches and board leaders bite.

Take it about 580 miles down to Little Rock where Arkansas governor Asa Hutchinson will sign his state's version of Religious Freedom Restoration.

About a few months into his term, Hutchinson sparked controversy. Hutchinson, a former congressman and attorney for the NRA won the governorship in 2014. He's from a political dynasty that carries from Fort Smith all the way to Washington, DC.

The Huffington Post reports that Walmart, a stable of Arkansas' economy isn't pleased with this decision. The Bentonville-based company has called for Hutchinson to not sign the law.

The bill cleared the Arkansas Legislature and now heads to the governor's desk, where it is expected to be signed. Like the Indiana law, the Arkansas legislation allows a person who feels his or her exercise of religion has been “substantially burdened” to cite that argument as a claim or defense in a private lawsuit. The legislation also grants corporations the right to religious freedom. This language is not in the federal Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA), and critics say it could be used to override existing anti-discrimination protections.

Walton's 5-10 store is the first Walmart. Its location is in Bentonville, Arkansas. The area seen a rise in growth. Bentonville and Fayetteville are growing cities. The University of Arkansas, Walmart corporate headquarters sit on the Insterstate 49 corridor. The interstate replaced Interstate 540 and it will eventually travel from Kansas City to Lafayette, Louisiana.

"The Arkansas and Indiana bills are virtually identical in terms of language and intent,” said Sarah Warbelow, legal director at the Human Rights Campaign. “They place LGBT people, people of color, religious minorities, women and many more people at risk of discrimination.”

Earlier in the week, Arkansas lawmakers also tried to head off concerns about that state's bill, approving language that says “the General Assembly finds that it is a compelling governmental interest to comply with federal civil rights laws.”

However, according to Eunice Rho, advocacy and policy counsel at the ACLU, federal civil rights laws have no explicit protections for LGBT people, and this legislative finding -- while helpful -- is not part of the law. “If the Arkansas Legislature is serious about preventing discrimination, they need to write it into the actual code,” she said.

“We would like to see both Indiana and Arkansas adopt language clarifying that the state RFRA cannot be used to undermine federal, state or local non-discrimination laws," Warbelow said.

During Monday's committee hearing, some lawmakers raised concerns about the bill being inconsistent with federal and state RFRA laws when it comes to protecting civil rights. Some proposed a simple solution: adding a non-discrimination disclaimer to the legislation.

"It's not a philosophical debate with me at this point. I think we're going well beyond the other states," said state Rep. Camille Bennett (D), who ultimately voted against the bill.

But the bill's author, state Rep. Bob Ballinger (R), said its language was staying put, and that it would be too confusing to try to define what constitutes discrimination.

"If that means that you can force somebody who has deeply held religious beliefs to engage in some activity that violates their deeply held religious beliefs, and that the state has the right to force them into doing it, I can't say that I do agree with that," he said.

Arkansas is about to enter the same minefield that Indiana has been trapped in since Pence signed his religious freedom bill last week. In Indiana, major companies like Twitter and the NCAA, as well as celebrities like Apple CEO Tim Cook and Miley Cyrus, have spoken out against the law.

In Arkansas, both Walmart and Acxiom, a big data company, have spoken out against the legislation. The Democratic mayor of Little Rock also warned Gov. Asa Hutchinson (R) on Tuesday that “any piece of legislation that is so divisive cannot possibly be good for the state of Arkansas and its people.”

But Hutchinson appears unfazed by these concerns. Last week, he vowed that he would sign the legislation: “Arkansas is open for business, and we recognize and respect the diversity of our culture and economy,” he said in a statement.
