Demanding answers to how this massive fire happened.
The great fire of London.
This week, a major fire engulfed a high rise in the city. The residents of the North Kensington district are pissed that the city and country couldn't do much to save the lives of the residents living in the Grenfell Tower.
Embattled Prime Minister Theresa May is facing heat for not showing an ounce of sympathy towards the victims of the fire. Many of the residents were people of color and the anger that we're seeing in the United States is felt over in the United Kingdom.
Some of the missing were in the inferno of Grenfell Tower.
Protests are happening in the city and May will now show some sympathy towards the victims.
At least 17 people are confirmed dead with the numbers possibly rising.
The London Fire Brigade is now sending in dogs and retrievers to search the unstable building.
It's going to get hot! I mean it's going to get hot!
I'm fucking pissed.
Another dirty cop walks. Jeronimo Yanez, the cop who shot Philando Castile after a routine traffic pullover was found not guilty in the manslaughter. Even though it was recorded on camera by his girlfriend Diamond Reynolds, the jury found Yanez not guilty of his death.
A White jury believed that Yanez was doing his job.
Valarie Castile is furious. She said that Yanez better watch his back cause it's a coming!
This decision on Friday really got me heated. I am already upset with a lot of things, but another dirty ass cop gets off with murder. Ten white jurors and two alternatives who were Black said this decision was right.
"I'm mad as hell right now. My son loved this city, and this city killed my son," said Castile. "The system continues to fail Black people, and it will continue to fail you all. Like I said, because this happened with Philando, and when they get done with us, they are coming for you and all your interracial children."
Yanez was charged in November for the death of Castile after he stopped for a taillight. In the 911 audio he claimed that Castile was a figure with a wide-set nose and wanted to run plates to see if he was up to no good. Castile had a gun permit.
Yanez shot Castile seven times in front of Reynolds and her child. The reckless endangerment charge ended in a not guilty.
Valarie Castile is furious the jury found that dirty cop not guilty.
Yanez broke down in tears during the trial saying that he felt his life was in danger.
Reynolds also went public about this.
"I am incredibly disappointed with the jury's verdict. My boyfriend, Philando Castile, was pulled over, because, per Officer Yanez, he had a wide nose and looked like a suspect. He did nothing but comply with Yanez's instructions to get his driver's license. He was seatbelted and doing as he was told, when he was shot by Yanez who fired 7 shots into the vehicle where my 4 year old daughter and I also sat. It is a sad state of affairs when this type of criminal conduct is condoned simply because Yanez is a policeman. God help America."
Deliberations lasted for five days. The jury at first was deadlocked but they went forth to continue deliberation. Jurors were spending a lot of time trying to decide on what is "culpable negligence."
The system continues to fail Black America.
I am very angry. I am tired of watching Black men die under police fire.
BAD COPS WILL END UP GETTING GOOD COPS KILLED. GOOD COPS WILL PAY THE PRICE WHEN A TERRORIST PLOTS AN ATTACK AGAINST THEM.
Trump is thirsty for attention. He and Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) will head to Miami to rollback relations between Cuba and the United States. In 2015, then president Barack Obama eased travel restrictions to Cuba. Trump will undo that. Mike Pence hires a private lawyer.
Donald J. Trump turned 71 years old on Wednesday. Trump acknowledged he is facing a possible criminal probe for obstruction of justice. Trump confirmed this on his social media.
I am being investigated for firing the FBI Director by the man who told me to fire the FBI Director! Witch Hunt
Mike Pence hires a lawyer for the possible probe into his dealings with Russia.
Trump is also giving Defense Secretary Jim Mattis, 4,000 troops to serve in combat. The assault in Afghanistan is an endless war that Trump and Barack Obama inherited. Trump is going against his word to stay out of conflict.
He will head to Florida today. Trump is imposing a travel ban again. But this time he is trying to unravel United States relations with Cuba. And he got his ideas from his old foe, "Little Marco."
Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) is a failed presidential candidate. He was Trump's fiercest critics during the election. Now he's plugging a bug in Trump's ear when it comes to Raul Castro and his "murderous" regime.
Trump claims that American money goes to the Cuban military. He wants to put a stop to it.
The business community are opposed to any changes. Even some in Trump's inner circle believe this is a bad idea.
Trump is once again trying to create a distraction from the investigation. By giving the junk food media a story to cover, it takes the pressure off him and the Republicans and their secret healthcare repeal bill.
The senate is working in secret on repealing the Affordable Care Act. It's drawing massive criticism from Democrats, medical officials and some Republicans.
Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA) is still recovering from his gunshot wound. He is in critical condition as the doctors try to save him. He was shot along with four others. A terrorist shot them while they were practicing for the Congressional Baseball Game.
The Democrats beaten the Republicans in the game. The Democrats donated the trophy to the Republicans as a sign of goodwill.
Tupac Shakur's birthday and the release of the movie All Eyes on Me.
Early Thread: Tupac Shakur.
Tupac Shakur would have been 46 years old.
Today is the opening of the new biographical movie All Eyez On Me.
The role of Tupac Shakur was played Demetrius Shipp, Jr.
The film was directed by Benny Boom and written by Jeremy Haft, Eddie Gonzalez and Steven Bagatourian. This movie is titled after the fourth album of the same name.
It also features Kat Graham, Lauren Cohan, Hill Harper and Danai Gurira.
Rotten Tomatoes gave the movie an approval of 24% based on 21 reviews, with an average rating of 4.5/10. On Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating, the film has a score of 42 out of 100, based on 11 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews."
The movie follows biopics of the late Tupac Shakur rise to fame. His run-ins with the law. His feud with Notorious B.I.G. and the East Coast rappers. And of course, his tragic death on the Las Vegas strip.
Shakur's death has sparked kookspriacy theories about him being alive. Maybe Tupac might appear at the movie premiere.
Afeni Shakur passed away in 2016. She was the mother of Tupac Shakur. She was co-executive producer of the movie.
Islamic State leader Abu Bake al-Baghdadi may have been killed.
It seems like the Russians are claiming credit for the death of the Islamic State's leader. The strike happened in Raqqa, Syria.
Wondering if the Republicans and their leader Donald J. Trump will give praise to Russia for the airstrike?
Will they usually doubt the strike?
Or will they blame Barack Obama for not getting him in the first place?
Anyway, the Islamic State of the Levant is a Sunni militant group that has recruited individuals to take to arms against oppressive regimes and anti-Islamic sentiment in the West. They are classified as terrorist by the Western junk food media.
The group had maintained strength in Syria and Iraq/ The group also expanded influence into Egypt, Libya, the Philippines,Yemen, Afghanistan, Iran, United Kingdom, Nigeria, Sudan, Somalia, Saudi Arabia, Russia, and the United States.
Its leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi is the de facto leader of the organization. He is a 40-something year old man who was then a part of the resistance against the United States military in the Iraqi War.
Born Ibrahim Awwadty Ibrahiam Ali Muhammad al-Badri al-Sammarrai, the leader of this group has been relentless. He captured in Iraq back in 2004 near Fallujah. He was detained and imprisoned at Abu Ghraib and Camp Bucca.
He was released in 2004 as a low level detainee. Conservatives claim he was detained until 2009.
Of course in their minds, it's a swipe at Barack Obama because he took over as President of the United States after George W. Bush.
There was no initial independent confirmation that the leader was killed. The U.S.-military leading in the coalition to take him out can't confirm the death. Iraqi officials are skeptical of the death.
Of course, in this blood thirsty country, the United States want pictures of a bloody carcass.
If this is proven true, this will be a big blow to the Islamic State.
Yeah, that's what they've said about Osama bin Laden and yet al Qaeda still exist and is really excited that Donald J. Trump is the leader. They will find ways to inspire more militant attacks against the West. Of course, they don't want to infiltrate from Syria and the Muslim nations, Trump is trying to impose his Muslim ban on.
The Islamic State wants American born Muslims to take to arms.
Russian state media claims that the United States was notified of the airstrikes. The Russians claim 30 field commanders and 300 personal guards were killed in a massive airstrike.
The United States constantly killed deputies and "second-in-commands." They came extremely close to killing al-Bahdadi.
Flint and Michigan officials are charged with manslaughter.
State and federal officials decided that the Flint water crisis was criminal. And now five people will face a judge in the matter.
Attorney General of Michigan, Bill Schuette charged five officials with involuntary manslaughter.
The criminal charges come from the state and Flint officials negligent actions. They green-lit the usage of the Flint River for the city's water supply. They were aware that the river had pollutants.
An 85-year old man died because of Legionnaires' disease.
The New York Times report that officials include the state's chief of the health department. It was the closest investigators have come to directly blaming officials for the deaths and illnesses that occurred when a water contamination crisis enveloped the city.
Flint's rapid decline started with manufacturing leaving. Now the water crisis sunk the "Vehicle City."
Nick Lyon, the director of Michigan Department of Health and Human Service, Dr. Eden V. Wells, the chief medical executive for the department join 15 to 17 other officials in criminal intent.
These charges could put these individuals in the iron college for 25 to LIFE.
They are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
This scandal plagued the 2016 U.S. Election.
Donald J. Trump isn't working on fixing the problem. Matter of fact, Republicans rather see the people suffer because they don't want the environmental safety regulations.
NBA star LeBron James is very upset over the loss. The Cleveland Cavaliers couldn't seal the deal against their perennial rival the Golden State Warriors. Game 5 was a close game.
