See a lot of Democrats are expressing concern that Lt. Gov. John Fetterman may have a laundry list of issues coming. He admits that he failed to disclose that he had health problems for months. Then of course, he chased after a Black jogger when he was then mayor of Broadrick.
Before the primary, Fetterman had a mild stroke which became a surprise to Democratic voters in the state.
Fetterman now admits not only he had a stroke but has a weak heart and will require a pace-maker inside him. His wife is now trying to vouch for him.
It's a damn shame that Fetterman is the nominee for the most crucial senate race in the nation. He is now taking on the former TV doctor Mehmet Oz. He is a licensed cardiologist who was on television for years.
After a handful appearances on Fox, he was encouraged to run for the Pennsylvania senate race. He decided to make his in-laws home
He beaten two candidates who actually live in the state. The former Fox commentator and hedge fund investor both thrown their support to Oz. His biggest endorsements were Washed Up 45 and Softball Hannity.
The two will face off going into the midterm elections.
Oz being a candidate who is doesn't live in Pennsylvania can win this because of popularity, the Republican enthusiasm and Fetterman's baggage.
To carry this oaf to victory is going to be hard. Given that Oz is already a weak candidate himself.
Oz is certainly more likely to be the next wave of Republicans admitted to Congress.
In our latest "What Happened To" series, the Tempe, Arizona police responded to a domestic disturbance involving 34-year old Sean Bickings. He was accused of an altercation involving his wife. The police confronts him near a bridge at Town Lake.
The man was clearly having a mental breakdown when he climbed over the railing and landed on the edge of the bridge.
Bickings would soon enter the lake and swim. Somehow he loses his footing and is caught between the current and was struggling to regain his control.
The man would soon be screaming for help.
In the body camera footage obtained, the cops were saying they aren't going in to rescue him.
But they instead provided a transcript in which Bickings desperately appealed for help from the officers.
The law clearly did not help a man who suffered from a nervous breakdown.
He said: "I'm drowning."
One officer then replied: "Come back over to the pylon."
Bickings said: "I can't, I can't."
The other officer then said: "OK, I'm not jumping in after you."
He begged: "Please help me. Please, please, please. I can't touch. Oh God, Please help me. Help me."
Bickings' wife who was still on the scene also pleaded with officers to intervene, saying: "I'm just distraught because he's drowning right in front of you and you won't help."
Officials said in a statement: "The three Tempe police officers who responded to the call and witnessed the drowning have been placed on non-disciplinary paid administrative leave pending the investigations, as is customary in critical incidents."

President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, Gretchen Whitmer (Michigan), Karen Kemp (Georgia), Karen Ducey (Arizona), Karen Youngkin (Virginia), Kathy Hochul (New York), Karen McMaster (South Carolina), Karen Ricketts (Nebraska), Karen Abbott (Texas) and Steve Sisolak (Nevada) were informed. The Republican and Democratic lawmakers from these states were told as well.
We have to do something to stop gun violence. The Republicans in Congress is determined to pivot to a culture war issue. They already back on the inflation and high gas prices. They have not release any solution or policy. From high gas prices, baby formula shortage, gun violence and social media, Republicans are pretty much silent.
You're not safe in the home, the school, the concert, the hospital, the church, the casino, the bus station, the subway, the light rail train, the buses, the malls, the local big box store, the political rally, the protest rally, the women's center for reproductive surgeries, the mosque, the synagogue, the state buildings, the workplace, the gas station, the family picnic, the food truck rally, the funerals, the birthday parties, the graduations, the wedding, the televised events, the sporting events and many more events that have some terrorist with a firearm. Domestic violence, suicide, racism, culture war inspired, politically motivated and international operative inspired are types of gun violence.
An active shooter doesn't care about the politics, race, gender, sexuality, nationality, religion, your finances, your family, your plans that day, your successes, your failures, and most importantly, your life.
The shooter is motivated within seconds to take out as many people as he/she can.
Every community in the United States will eventually have a legacy. A legacy of tragedy. Gun violence and COVID-19 will affect your town, your family and your life. So I don't want to hear that bullshit about how gun reform is taking away your rights to own firearms.
I don't want to hear that protesting against police killing people of color is hate on cops in general. I don't want to hear talk about the coronavirus being a myth.
When you hear folks say "gun rights," what they really mean is that its white privilege. This good guy with a gun nonsense has to end. The cops didn't do nothing when children were shot inside a school. A security guard was shot dead trying to protect shoppers. A cop accidentally shot his own. The good guy who tried to stop a bad guy is outgunned and a part of the rule #3. The "good guy with a gun" better be prepared to die if they want to stop a shooter.
I don't want to hear folks say masks and vaccine mandates impede their freedoms. It prevents a deadly outbreak from spreading. If you want to die from the coronavirus, that's on you. We lost over 1 million people from the coronavirus.
Congress must act now.
I don't want to hear the shit about guns saving lives. Cause a bullet does not have eyes and it's always likely gonna hit a target. These folks seem to not get it. These incidents are a tragic part of American history. Thoughts and prayers and your heart going out to the victims is not enough. It quite frankly is an insult. I am also tired of scapegoating Black on Black crime, Chicago, Baltimore and Democratic mayors for the nation's obsession to be numb to gun violence. You pretty much enable this nonsense by deflecting.
President Joe Biden is trying to curb gun violence. However, he has no support from Republicans. Most Democrats and America are for gun control measures. However the two Democrats in the Senate refuse to change the filibuster rules and its holding us back.
The National Rifle Association is always pushing against it. They will not relinquish from the narrative that guns are not saving lives. The Republicans aided by a fickle junk food media are openly encouraging anarchy and disruption in a desperate attempt for the Republicans to win back Congress and the White House. These agitators are calling for Biden to curb crime but will not help him. They want more guns on the street. It makes no sense.

GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE PROBLEM IN THE UNITED STATES.
Atlanta based rapper Trouble reportedly passed away. It appears the rapper and producer was another victim of gun violence. Trouble was a signed artist on Def Jam.

Trouble in the past worked with Rich Homie Quan, Dave East, YFN Lucci, Gucci Mane, Future, YG, Mike WILL Made It, Southside Sizzle and many others.
So here we go again.

The entertainer was shot to death over the weekend, according to the Rockdale County sheriff's office.
The 34-year-old, whose real name is Mariel Semonte Orr, was found with a gunshot wound at the Lake St. James Apartment complex in Conyers at 3:20 a.m. Sunday, the sheriff's office said. He was taken to a local hospital, where he later died from his injuries.
Georgia authorities seek terrorist.
The Rockdale County Sheriff said no arrests have been made, however, they have secured warrants for a suspect identified a 33-year-old terrorist from Atlanta, in connection to the murder. They released this photo of him. He is likely still in Georgia and the state authorities, the FBI and U.S. Marshals warn that those who aid the fugitive will be charged as well.
Trouble's record label, Def Jam Records said the rapper was a voice for his city in a post on social media.
"Our thoughts and prayers are with the children, loved ones, and fans of Trouble," the label posted on Instagram. "A true voice for his city and an inspiration to the community he proudly represented."
Trouble released his debut mixtape in 2011, called December 17th, which includes his hit "Bussin'," which has nearly 2.8 million YouTube views.

— ATL Uncensored - Atlanta News (@ATLUncensored) June 5, 2022
The rap community was mourning his loss and sharing condolences on social media.
Rapper and activist Killer Mike, also from Atlanta, tweeted: "God Bless The Dead. He was a good man. Gone to soon."
Rappers T.I. and Gucci Mane also took to Twitter when they heard the news.
Meek Mill, just the day before said there was no telling what tomorrow's news will be. Only to learn of Trouble's passing when he woke up.
Trouble's reported ex-girlfriend, Alexis Sky posted a heartfelt message on Twitter saying he didn't deserve this.
In 2020, Orr was in trouble with the law when he was accused of hurting a woman on New Year's Day. The woman alleged that she got in a fight with the rapper at a party on Lenox Road. The two left the party and she told police he pushed her onto the ground on GA 400.
In 2019, 11Alive spoke with the rapper while he was promoting non-violence in the community. More than 500 people attended an event at Perkerson Park in southwest Atlanta. The rapper said at the time he wanted to use his troubled past to build a positive future for the community.
The event made waves across social media after a clip of police officers getting soaked up by water guns was posted online, which drew criticism on whether the crowd attendees took it too far.
The latest death comes just a month after Atlanta rapper Lil Keed, a member of the YSL record label founded by Young Thug, died at the age 24 in Atlanta, according to social media posts by his brother.
Trouble and Young Dolph both victims of gun violence.
11Alive has reached out to Trouble's representatives for comment on his passing.
The Rockdale County Sheriff's Office said its investigation remains ongoing. Anyone with information is asked to call the Rockdale County Sheriff’s Office at (770) 278-8188 or (770) 843-7647.
Did Trouble's rap career contributed to his death?

GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE PROBLEM IN THE UNITED STATES.
Philadelphia rocked by more gun violence. Tenth mass shooting this year.
Looks like we will have two highly toxic nominees going into the U.S. senate race in Pennsylvania. I will cover the John Fetterman and Mehmet Oz battle soon.
They better find a solution to gun violence.
President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, Gov. Tom Wolf, Sen. Bob Casey (D-PA), Sen. Karen Toomey (R-PA) and the U.S. Representatives from Pennsylvania were notified.
And since this Philadelphia, the pro gun agitators, white nationalists and troll will immediately blame Democrats for the gun violence seeing it likely involves a Black victim. They will not say these incidents are mental illness. It does not fit their agenda to pivot from guns being the actual problem. See you're a law abiding gun owner until you pull that trigger. Of course, they will say it may be gang violence.
Again, how many are law abiding citizens before their first arrest?

Last night, three people were shot and killed and 11 were wounded during a shootout on South Street, an area that’s one of Philadelphia’s most popular gathering places. Police say they recovered two firearms from the scene. #paleghttps://t.co/yrgq3aSF6b
Looks like shooting travelled down South Street — signs of pandemonium stretching several blocks. Broken car window glass. Knocked over trashcans. pic.twitter.com/Wg3GVURFFj
Officers heard gunfire erupt shortly before midnight at 2nd & South. Multiple shooters. An officer fired at one shooter from 10-15 yards while shooter was actively firing into crowd. Shooter then dropped a handful w/ extended mag - 1 of 2 recovered. Unclear if shooter was hit.
Minor geo-correction on my initial tweet: The shooting began at 2nd & South Street and travelled west, with shell casings stretching across two blocks, per police commander.
WATCH: Philadelphia Mass Shooting Surveillance from corner of 3rd Street looking down along South Street 11:30pm. Large crowd of people run for their lives up South Street toward 4th Street. Two men & woman killed among 14 total who were shot @phillypolice say @fox29phillypic.twitter.com/Y5zUgL87HV
Gunfire killed three people and wounded at least 11 others in a popular downtown Philadelphia entertainment district late Saturday night, authorities said.
Police officers were patrolling the area on South Street in downtown Philadelphia when they heard multiple gunshots and witnessed several suspects firing into a large crowd just before midnight, Police Inspector D. F. Pace said during a news conference.
An officer shot at one of the suspects from about 30 feet (9 meters) away, but it is unclear if the suspect was hit, Pace said.
“You can imagine there were hundreds of individuals just enjoying South Street, as they do every single weekend, when this shooting broke out,” Pace said.
Two men and a woman were among those killed in the shooting, he said. Their names were not made public by authorities. Thomas Jefferson University Hospital spokesperson Damien Woods said, of the 10 patients who came to the hospital, three were dead, six were in stable condition and one had been discharged.
Two handguns were recovered, including one with an extended magazine, police said. No arrests have been made.
South Street is known for its entertainment venues and night life with multiple bars, restaurants and businesses. Surveillance video from a local business posted by WTXF-TV showed scores of people milling about on the sidewalks and in the street who then suddenly began to flee en masse as the gunfire began.
Pace said police expect to be able to gather “a lot of video surveillance footage” from the many businesses along the street later in the day to try to identify suspects.
Rumors going around the Philadelphia Division of Police did not rush to scene even though they were feet from the gun violence.
Mayor Jim Kenney called the shooting “beyond devastating.”
"Once again, we see lives senselessly lost and those injured in yet another horrendous, brazen and despicable act of gun violence,” he said in a statement Sunday morning. “My heart is with the family, friends, loved ones of those lost or injured, and with everyone impacted by this terrible tragedy."
Kenney said the surge in gun violence in the city and across the nation “makes me not just heartbroken, but angry.” He said, however, fighting it would be “an uphill battle” without measures to address the “availability and ease of access to firearms.”
Eric Walsh, closing up the outdoor seating area of a bar along the block, told The Philadelphia Inquirer that the scene was “chaos.” He said he saw a young woman collapse to the ground on the corner.
“People were coming off the street with blood splatters on white sneakers and skinned knees and skinned elbows,” Walsh said. “We literally just were balling up napkins and wetting them and handing them to people.”

Personal vendetta is possible motive. So once again, spurned by life. The nice guy snapped. The shooters who were fired by their employer. The shooters who were rejected by love interests. The shooters who hate. The shooters who felt the need to carry out a plot for name recognition. All of these entities are motivated. They have no mental illness. They know what they are doing.
I usually do the same copy and paste, the poll and the obvious reactions like most Americans who hear about another mass shooting. This time I want to let you know what your tasks are to stay alive if you are involved in a mass shooting.
An active shooter doesn't care about the politics, race, gender, sexuality, nationality, religion, your finances, your family, your plans that day, your successes, your failures, and most importantly, your life.
The shooter is motivated within seconds to take out as many people as he/she can.
What to do to protect your life.
Scene was bad. There were 14 people were shot. Three died.
1. Run - If you hear sounds like firecrackers, popping sounds or suspicious activities around a large gathering (i.e. malls, stores, clubs, public gatherings), if you can flee, run away from the shooter. Do not run in a straight path of the sight. Move around and zig-zag if possible to keep yourself out the line of fire. It's best to not film a shooter commiting the act. If you are willing to risk your life for a viral video, more power to you but its best to stay out of the line of fire by running away.
2. Hide - If you are involved in an active shooting, you must barricade yourself in a room and keep doors locked, lights off, phones on silent. Do not go into restrooms, lockers and kitchens. Those are most likely places where shooters often go. If you can barricade a room to prevent a shooter from getting in, it eliminate the opportunity for the shooter to get through. Make sure you keep your voice low when you're involved in mass shooting. Call 9-1-1 if you can.
3. Fight - If you are willing to risk your life or willing to film the incident, you have no choice but to fight. Make sure you grab something that is powerful enough to disarm a shooter. Do not confront a shooter in the midst of sight. Make yourself not visible if you're trying to fight. Do not think being a "good guy with a gun" is going to stop a bad guy. The cops don't see good guys trying to stop bad guys. They see active shooters and they will shoot anyone who is armed regardless of the matter. If you're ready to fight, be prepared to die. It's best to not be easily seen if you're trying to stop a shooter. But if you are willing to go hero, you could die a hero or an idiot.
There are 29 Republicans governors in 28 states and the Northern Mariana Islands.
Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Massachusetts, Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Carolina, North Dakota, Northern Mariana Islands, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina. South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia and West Virginia have Republican governors. Of the 29, only six of them may be willing to change gun laws but of course, they chicken out at the last minute.
The Republicans are only seven seats away from a constitutional majority. A majority that could make a constitutional amendment to fundamentally change laws.
What do conservatives pivot to when gun violence affects the Black community?
