K.O. For Racist Comic!

Racist comedian gets knocked out.

There's a viral video going around being sponsored by WPIX, New York's CW Affiliate. A comedian's awful performance wasn't the reason why he was knocked out! He got knocked out making fun of the Asian-American couple.

The young man jumped on stage and knocked the comedian out after he went into an anti-Asian rant.

I guess he's pretending to be Michael Richards. Richards, was the famed Seinfeld star who performed his role as Kramer. He got heckled by members of an audience. After the hecklers were told to leave, the comedian made a racist rant about Black people and said Nigger over five times and the comment "hanging y'all from trees!"

Some comedians who talk about race issues include Dave Chappelle, Chris Rock, Damon Wayans, George Carlin, Bill Cosby, Norm MacDonald and Eddie Murphy.

This comedian didn't study the masters.

LAPD Kick The Genitals Of Alesia Thomas! Dies Of Suffocation!

Alesia Thomas' death sparks controversy with the Los Angeles Police Department. 

Black and Latino people vs. Los Angeles Police Department.

We're experiencing another dose of reality with America's most professional and yet controversial law enforcement agency. The boys in blue managed to get themselves wrapped up in another controversy. Like the New York Police Department, America's second largest city has a huge police force. Los Angeles County covers about 8 million residents. The City of Los Angeles has nearly 4 million residents. The Los Angeles Police Department has over 10,000 uniformed officers watching the quadrant of 498 square miles of city limits.

Often known for their aggressive campaign to stop gang violence, the LAPD sometimes gets wrapped up in controversy of its own. The LAPD has been copiously fictionalized in numerous movies, novels and television shows throughout its history. The department has also been associated with a number of controversies, mainly concerned with racial animosity, police brutality and police corruption.

Michelle Jordan was kicked in the face after LAPD pulled her over.

We want to seek justice for Michelle Jordan, a woman who was brutally abused by LAPD officers. The 34-year old mother was beaten down after she got into it with an officer. She was pulled over after being spotted talking on cellphone while driving.

Police say Jordan was pulled over for a cell phone violation and got out of her car and became confrontational with the officers.

According to Jordan, she merely got out of her car, and the next thing she knew she was being slammed to the ground and handcuffed.

Another person who was abused by the LAPD was a banking executive. Brian Mulligan has already filed a $50 million lawsuit against the City of Los Angeles.

According to Mulligan, police mistook him for a suspect going berserk near a fast food restaurant in Eagle Rock on May 14. He claims police searched him, found at least $2,500 in his car and then took him to a nearby motel.

Mulligan says he thought he had become bait in a sting operation and tried to leave and that's when officers attacked him.

Brian Mulligan was knocked out by LAPD.

From Redding News Service comes a buzz worthy story. We here at Journal de la Reyna want justice for Alesia Thomas. We want the FBI and U.S. Justice Department to investigate members of the LAPD for police brutality. 

According to KTLA 5, the CW affiliate from Los Angeles, five LAPD officers have been removed from field duties and are under administrative investigation in connection with the death of a woman who suffocated while being taken into custody.

And now the family of 35-year-old Alesia Thomas is speaking out to KTLA News in a search for answers regarding her death.

"I think they killed her," Thomas's grandmother Ada Moses says. "She wasn't a bad girl. She was a good girl. I miss my granddaughter. That's all I have to say." 

The altercation in front of Thomas's apartment was captured by a patrol car's video camera.

LAPD Deputy Chief Bob Green confirmed that one officer, while trying to get Alesia Thomas into the back of a patrol car, told her something along the lines of "get your fat ass in the car."

The female officer then threatened to kick Thomas in the genitals if she did not comply, Green confirmed, and the officer followed through on her threat.

After officers forced her into the back seat of the police car, Thomas is also seen on the video breathing shallowly. She eventually stopped breathing.

LAPD Media Commander Andrew Smith said the investigation is in its early stages. "In the Academy we do still train people to use kicks in instances involving use of force," Smith said. "Whether it was appropriate in this instance, I don't know. That will be up to the investigation to determine."

"I take all in-custody death investigations very seriously," LAPD Chief Charlie Beck said in a statement late Thursday. "I am confident we will get to the truth no matter where that leads us."

The incident comes a day after Beck announced he was transferring a captain from his command after a separate videotaped incident in which two officers were shown slamming a handcuffed woman to the ground.

Beck had said that video raised concerns and that the department was investigating the officers, who have been removed from field duty.

The Thomas incident occurred July 22 after she had left children. Officers went in search of Thomas, finding her at her home in the 9000 block of South Broadway.

After questioning her briefly, the officers attempted to arrest Thomas on suspicion of child endangerment.

Thomas "began actively resisting arrest" as officers attempted to take her into custody and one of the officers took her to the ground by sweeping her legs out from beneath her, the LAPD's official account said.

Two other officers then handcuffed Thomas behind her back and attempted to lead her to a patrol car while a supervising sergeant observed, according to the department's version of the incident.

Two more officers were summoned to the scene as Thomas continued to struggle.

Green confirmed that Thomas was a very large woman.

A "hobble restraint device"-- an adjustable strap -- was tightened around Thomas' ankles to give the officers more control over her and she was eventually placed in the back of the patrol car, the LAPD account said.

The official account, however, made no mention of what Green confirmed was a female officer's questionable treatment of Thomas.

The department's official account said the officers immediately notified paramedics.

Beck's statement said he wanted to find out whether Thomas had been under the influence of any drugs or suffered from a medical condition that could have caused her death before he passed judgment on the officers.

Four police officers and their sergeant were removed from field duties after the incident.

Investigators from the department's Internal Affairs unit opened an investigation into the death, Green said.

Romney Told Hurricane Victim To Go Home And Call 211!

Mitt Romney meets Governor Bobby Jindal (R-Louisiana).

Fresh off the nomination, Republican Mitt Romney wanted to upstage President Barack Obama. He visited the Republican Louisiana governor Bobby Jindal and they toured the damaged regions near Slidell. The city of Slidell is close to New Orleans, and this area was heavily damaged by flooding.

The Republicans wanted to paint Mitt Romney as a caring human being who shows compassion towards the middle class. It appears Mitt Romney put his foot in his mouth yet again.

According to the Huffington Post and Associated Press,  Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney launched the final leg of his quest for the White House by visiting storm-battered Louisiana on Friday. He drove through a town that was flooded by Hurricane Isaac in part because it's still outside the vast flooding protection system built with federal funds after Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans.


Romney, who chatted with a handful of storm victims and shook hands with first responders, didn't have too much to say. "I'm here to learn and obviously to draw some attention to what's going on here," Romney told Republican Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal, who he accompanied to the Jean Lafitte town hall to meet with emergency workers. "So that people around the country know that people down here need help."

That snippet of conversation represented the bulk of Romney's public remarks in Louisiana on Friday.

His host, Jindal, is now calling on the federal government to expand the rebuilt flood protection system that prevented serious flooding in New Orleans during this week's storm. That system, built after flooding from Katrina devastated much of New Orleans, cost the Army Corps of Engineers $14.5 billion. It doesn't extend as far as Jean Lafitte, which is situated in Jefferson Parish, and has been affected by a series of hurricanes, including Katrina, Rita, Cindy and now Isaac.

                

"It is absolutely critical that the Corps, and certainly our delegation working them, but that the Corps and the federal government look at those other levees," Jindal said Thursday. Lafitte is included in a proposed ring levee that the state hopes to build, but there are no concrete plans to build yet.

Romney was silent on whether, as president, he would support paying for such an expansion. Romney's running mate, Paul Ryan, has proposed eliminating $10 billion a year in disaster spending and requiring Congress to pay for emergencies by cutting from elsewhere in the budget. That proposal was blocked by GOP leaders.

Hurricane Isaac is blamed for at least six deaths in Louisiana and Mississippi. It submerged hundreds of homes, forced thousands of others to evacuate and cut power to nearly half of Louisiana's homes and businesses.

Romney didn't speak to reporters as he toured Jean Lafitte on Friday. The Romney campaign refused to say whether he would support additional funding for the levees, saying only that the GOP nominee "recognizes the importance of disaster prevention and would seek to ensure that we have the infrastructure we need to keep all Americans safe."

Jindal did explain the issue to Romney as they climbed into the Republican nominee's SUV and began their tour.
      
"It (the levee system) performs well, but the areas here — the other areas ..." Jindal said, trailing off because Romney jumped in.

"Are outside, outside that levee system," Romney said.

Romney's motorcade, including trucks equipped to drive through high water, edged gingerly down Jean Lafitte Boulevard, a main road.

Accompanied by National Guard vehicles, the caravan inched through water that at some points was a foot or more deep, submerging gas stations, flooding homes and covering front laws. Residents stood in the water and watched the motorcade pass.

Flood protection was clearly on the minds of residents. A man who waved a neon yellow sign reading "Mitt is Our Man" wondered why levees had not been able to protect the low-lying areas of this fishing community.

"It has really destroyed us," the man said to Romney after the motorcade stopped on the side of the road. "I don't know why we can't come up with something that saves all."

Up the street, a giant pink sign hung on the balcony of a flooded house. "Where is our levee protection?" it read.



Romney shook hands with National Guardsmen outside the U.S. Post Office and talked with a local resident, Jodie Chiarello, 42, who lost her home in Isaac's flooding.

"He just told me to, um, there's assistance out there," Chiarello said of her conversation with Romney. "He said, go home and call 211." That's a public service number offered in many states.

Chiarello said she will likely seek some other shelter because her home was submerged in the flooding. She expressed frustration about the town's lack of flood protection.

"We live outside the levee protection that's why we get all this water because they close the floodgates up front and all they're doing is flooding us out down here," she said. "It's very frustrating, very. We go through Katrina and Rita and now we're going through Cindy, Lee and now Isaac."

Romney's last-minute visit, announced less than 12 hours after he became the Republican nominee, took him to the disaster area ahead of his Democratic rival, President Barack Obama. The president was following with his own visit to Louisiana on Monday, the White House announced.

Romney went at Jindal's invitation, his campaign said. Jindal, a Republican, told reporters Romney had been in touch several days ago to ask how he could help with storm relief and Jindal suggested Romney come down and see the damage for himself. He said he had extended an invitation to Obama as well.


White House spokesman Jay Carney, asked what a private citizen like Romney could accomplish by visiting a disaster area, said he wasn't sure how to answer the question but that drawing attention to the affected area was "important."
            
Romney spokesman Kevin Madden said Romney's visit could focus people on "the needs of the affected region, particularly the need for charitable donations and resources to aid relief efforts."

Back in Washington, Democrats seized on the trip to accuse Republicans of supporting cuts in federal disaster funding that the Gulf Coast will now need to recover from Isaac.

"It is the height of hypocrisy for Mitt Romney and (Congressman) Paul Ryan (R-Wisconsin) to make a pretense of showing sympathy for the victims of Hurricane Isaac when their policies would leave those affected by this disaster stranded and on their own," said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nevada), in a written statement.

Senator Mary Landrieu (D-Louisiana) said she welcomed Romney to her home state but pushed him on disaster funding.

"I hope as he witnesses recovery in action, he will reflect upon his party's approach to funding disaster response," she said. "Had the plan advocated by his running mate Congressman Paul Ryan and Congressman Eric Cantor prevailed, there would be no money readily available to provide assistance for this, or any other disaster."

Meet The GOP Nominee: One Huge Bore!

The Romney/Ryan Ticket Will Take The Mantle As The Leaders Of The Republican Party.

Listening to Mitt Romney. No talk about his policies or plans. I mean did I miss something?

The former Massachusetts governor achieved his six year goal of becoming a nominee for the Republican presidential ticket.



Right off the bat, Mitt Romney makes his case to the American people about what he could do if he was the president. Many speakers included Ann Romney, Vice Presidential nominee Paul Ryan, Senator Marco Rubio (R-Florida), Condoleezza Rice, Governor Scott Walker (R-Wisconsin), Rick Santorum, Clint Eastwood, Senator Rand Paul (R-Kentucky), Artur Davis, Mia Love and Senator Kelly Ayotte (R-New Hampshire.

Mitt Romney has a five point plan to creating jobs. Okay how are you going to create 12 million jobs?

Talks about drilling, coal, nuclear without regulations. He criticized the president for not taking advantage of drilling and using coal.

The nominee talks about school choice. I am guessing school vouchers and cuts to education. Great how much money?

Trade war? How are you going to cut the deficit with what policies or laws?

Mitt has a 13% tax rate. So he wants small business taxes to be as low as he a corporation stockholder?

There's no talk about Afghanistan. A war that's been going on for over 10 years.

Mitt Romney lies about the president's record.

Mitt Romney doesn't go after abortion. He was a pro-choice governor.

But he wants to go after gay marriage. There's no discussion about the issues with Blacks, Latinos and veterans.

Mitt Romney takes his cues from conservative agitators.

Still rehashing this crap about the president apologizing to the world, but yet this clown slips his tongue about British spies and the complains about the London officials not ready for the Olympics. He claims that the president abandoning Israel and Poland.

When President Obama talked to the former president Dmitry Medvedev about the defense missile shield controversy, the president told Medvedev that after the elections he'll try to work on it. Romney pounced on the comments and warned Vladimar Putin not to bully the United States. So what Romney wants is basically another cold war with Russia.

Romney may be borrowing from China for these promises of tax cuts. Because the United States has a trillion dollar deficit from two unpaid wars, tax cuts for billionaires and medicare perks by George W. Bush.

No apologies to the former governor of Florida, Jeb Bush.

Romney may think he's about saving the world with his cape and spandex suit. But he has no foreign policy experience. He lacks in foreign relation skills. He thinks that President Barack Obama is hoping for Iran to have a nuclear weapon.

Since the days of the Bush Administration, all you heard was talk about Iran trying to develop a nuclear weapon. The CIA released a damaging virus to disrupt their program. The president has ordered numerous sanctions against the nation. Iran struck back by cutting off oil supply to the world. That drove gas prices up.

Yeah, we're paying over $50 in fuel. But there's disruptions in oil supply. Hurricanes, trade wars and conflict in the Middle East are factors. The United States doesn't have strong regulations on vehicle emissions. China and India are developing nations. If we drill for oil in the United States, it's not going to lower the prices. The prices of fuel will remain normal. Any oil drilling in the United States will be sold to the global market.

Romney is a huge bore. Nothing I've seen inspired me to change my mind about him. He may have fired up his supporters and there could be a political bounce for his convention speech, but will he take his magic to the debate fields?

We cover the Democratic National Convention. Will there be controversy? Of course.

Could President Barack Obama inspire those he managed to win over four years ago?

Clint Eastwood At Anti-Obama Convention | Anti-Obama Billboards Continue To Create Controversy!

Clint Eastwood is a featured speaker at the Republican Anti-Obama National Convention.

We'll first start with actor/director Clint Eastwood. The aging celebrity endorsed Mitt Romney for president and became the headliner at the Anti-Obama National Convention. As a famed actor, Eastwood makes no bones about his opposition towards President Barack Obama.

The headliner of the Republican Party of course is their nominee, Mitt Romney. The former Massachusetts governor who ran more than his share of political campaigns takes the mantle of being the guy who could beat President Barack Obama.

Eastwood goes right into this little show with a empty chair (appearing as the president).



Million dollar baby?


Okay, now that we've gotten this nonsense out the way, here another dose of racist nonsense coming from the Republicans and their allies in the conservative movement.


Once again, you're seeing the rise of extremism in the conservative movement. These things are growing underneath the surface.

The Republicans are allowing some of their supporters take politics too far.

WBZ-TV Boston goes forth with the umpteenth offensive sign depicting President Barack Obama as the "other". This marks an ongoing issue with White conservative males and their reactionary outrage of the president and his supporters.


One shows a little girl raising her middle finger next to the message:

“Thanks Obama. You’ve spent my lunch money, my allowance, my inheritance, 35 years of future paychecks and my retirement. You Jerk. Vote Mitt Romney For 2012!”

The finger is now covered in packing tape.

Some people say the sign makes them uncomfortable.

“It’s being offensive,” one man told WBZ NewsRadio 1030 Thursday.  ”I think you can send out the message without being this drastic.”


Others say it’s free speech.

“I think it’s a good idea, whether it’s on private property or not,” a supporter told WBZ.

Another billboard has a smiling photo of President Obama, with the communist hammer and sickle symbols on his shirt collar, next to the message:

“Somewhere in Kenya a village is missing its idiot. Obama – One Big A** Mistake America. Vote Mitt Romney For 2012!”


The owner of the property and the signs was contacted by WBZ-TV and WBZ NewsRadio 1030 Thursday, but declined to comment.

In addition to the political debate, there is also debate about where the billboards are legal.

According to town officials, owner Robert Sullivan did not get a necessary permit from the building commissioner to put them up.

Sullivan’s attorney, however, said they are protected under the First Amendment.




We're are all for the freedom of speech and the like, but how come the Republicans allow this type of disruptive speech?

I mean how bad could this get?

This anti-Obama behavior is disturbing. The Black community and Hispanic community aren't feeling the Republican Party nowadays. They've managed to push forth these radical agendas to make lives for the middle class worse than it is.


In Hanson, Massachusetts there's a lot of anti-Obama billboards sprouting around. They're the talk of the town. People are reacting to them just like us here at Journal de la Reyna.

These Republicans have no shame in their game. These people are fucking ignorant and I'm tired of it!

I wish the Democratic Party would be more aggressive against these type of attacks.

This isn't your father Republican Party!


The culture war continues and Republicans armed their troops with hate of the middle class, the lower class, minorities, GLBT, those who practice in Islam, and the many supporters of Barack Obama.

They deem those as enemies of the state.

Examples of what triggers conservatives: "Welfare", " Smaller Government", "Taking Our Country Back", "Entitlements", and "Victimhood".

Key words to a base of people who have strong intolerance towards race, gender, sexuality, nationality, religion, political and economic standings.

Famed Hip-Hop Manager Chris Lighty Found Dead!

The hip-hop community is mourning the death of legendary entertainment manager Chris Lighty.

The guy who managed the careers of Busta Rhymes, 50 Cent, Fat Joe, Missy "Misdemeanor" Elliott, and LL Cool J has died. Chris Lighty was apparently found dead by a gunshot wound to his head according to his family members.

Lighty and his partner Mona Scott founded Violator Management.

Like rival Jimmy "Henchmen" Rosemond, Lighty has ties to criminals.

Lighty has been wanted by the feds for sometime on issues involving his taxes.

The Associated Press reports, Chris Lighty, 44, was discovered at his home in the Bronx with a gunshot wound to the head, and was pronounced dead at the scene, police said.

No note was recovered, but a 9 mm handgun was found at the scene and there was no sign of forced entry, said Paul Browne, chief spokesman for the New York Police Department.

The medical examiner's office will determine a cause of death, but authorities say the shooting appears to be self-inflicted.

Lighty was behind some of rap's leading figures, helping them not only attain hit records but also lucrative careers outside of music. He had been a part of the scene for decades, working with pioneers like LL Cool J before starting his own management company, Violator. But Lighty had been having recent financial and personal troubles.

Twitter was abuzz with condolences on his death just hours after the body was found at about 11:30 a.m.

"R.I.P. Chris Lighty," Fat Joe posted on his account. "The man that saved my life!"

Diddy wrote: "In shock."

Rihanna posted: "Rest peacefully Chris Lighty, my prayers go out to family and loved ones! Dear God please have mercy."

And Mary J. Blige wrote: "U never know what can send a person over the edge or make them want 2 keep living. take it easy on people."

50 Cent said in a statement issued through his publicist that he was deeply saddened by the loss:

"Chris has been an important part of my business and personal growth for a decade. He was a good friend and advisor who helped me develop as an artist and businessman. My prayers are with his family. He will be greatly missed."

50 Cent (left) and LL Cool J (center) were managed by Chris Lighty's Violator Management Group. Ludacris (right) stand with 50 Cent and LL Cool J. LL Cool J went on to recording 14 albums and continues a role in acting. He still continues his ties with Def Jam. Ludacris is the founder of Disturbing Tha Peace and is signed under Def Jam. 50 Cent is currently on Interscope Records signed through Dr. Dre's Aftermath Entertainment and Eminem's Shady Records.

Lighty was raised by his mother in the Bronx, one of six children. He ran with a group called The Violators, the inspiration for the name of his management company, according to the company website. He was a player in the hip-hop game since he was a kid DJ. He rose through the ranks at Rush Management (Simmons' first company) before eventually founding Violator Management in the late 1990s. (Mona Scott and James Cruz are partners).

"Today, we lost a hip-hop hero and one of its greatest architects," Simmons tweeted.

Lighty's roster ranged from Academy Award-winners Three 6 Mafia to maverick Missy Elliott to up-and-comer Papoose and perpetual star Carey. He made it his mission not so much to make musical superstars, but rather multifaceted entertainers who could be marketed in an array of ways: a sneaker deal here, a soft drink partnership there, a movie role down the road.



In a 2007 interview with The Associated Press, Lighty talked about creating opportunities for his stars _ a Chapstick deal for LL Cool J, known for licking his lips, a vitamin supplement deal for 50 Cent.

Busta Rhymes and Missy "Misdemeanor" Elliott were managed by Chris Lighty. Busta Rhymes signed to Universal-Republic Records under Cash Money Records. Missy Elliott is signed to Atlantic Records.

"As music sales go down because kids are stealing it off the Internet and trading it and iPod sales continue to rise, you can't rely on just the income that you would make off of being an artist," he said at the time.

Lighty is survived by his two children. He and his wife, Veronica, had been in the process of divorcing. The case was still listed as active, but electronic records show an agreement to end it was filed in June.

He was also having financial trouble. City National Bank sued Lighty, whose given name is Darrell, in April, saying he had overdrawn his account by $53,584 and then refused to pay the balance. The case was still pending.

He also owed more than $330,000 in state and federal taxes, according to legal filings. His tax problems were much steeper a year ago, but he cleared away millions of dollars in earlier IRS liens last October, after selling his Manhattan apartment for $5.6 million.

Lighty once managed Ja Rule of Murder, Inc. fame. He cut ties with the rapper after threats by Irving "Irv Gotti" Lorenzo. When 50 Cent engaged in a longstanding feud with Ja Rule, Chris Lighty jumped on the single with rappers Eminem and Busta Rhymes for a retribution diss on Tupac Shakur's "Hail Mary" beat.

Violator had released two albums under its belt. One included the hit single "Vibrant Thing" by veteran rapper Q-Tip.

Way To Go Chris...
