Woman got death threats for putting tape over her dog's mouth.
You gotta wonder how far is too far when it comes to posting shit on the internet!
When people want to make others laugh, they post funny pictures or jokes. But sometimes, they cross the line between funny and absolutely stupid.
A Florida woman got shook after she posted on social media her dog's mouth being taped shut with duct tape.
Katie Brown is hiding somewhere in the country waiting for the heat to die down. She got a ton of death threats for her Facebook posting.
Not funny. Just plain stupid.
It was shared more than 300,000 times within 36 hours and police were overwhelmed with outraged phone calls from dog lovers around the world demanding they take action, reports the Orlando Sentinel. On Facebook, Brown says she's a South Daytona resident, but police there say she was out of state, possibly in Avon, Conn., when the dog was abused, NBC News reports. The department promised on its Facebook page that it was in contact with her family members and other state agencies as part of its investigation and pleaded with the public to stop "flooding our emergency phone numbers."
Cops in Avon say they were also overwhelmed with calls, while a spokesman for the sheriff's office in Volusia County, which includes South Daytona, tells the Daytona Beach News-Journal that while it is "great that everybody's concerned for the animals and for dogs," the deluge of calls and emails has "literally shut our police department down." Police in South Daytona say they've been told the dog is OK and add they're still trying to locate Brown, whose duct-tape photo had the caption, "This is what happens when you dont [sic] shut up!!!" The original post has now been deleted, but a follow-up one tells people not to "panic" because "it was only for a minute," NBC reports.
Extremist posted threats on social media. He wanted to massacre students at the University of Chicago. Feds put the brakes on the extremist.
The feds nab a Black extremist who threatened to take out "White Devils" at the University of Chicago. That threat prompted a major shutdown of the campus.
The Chicago Tribune details the suspect and his twisted motives. This extremist was threatening to massacre White people in regards to the now disgraced cop Jason Van Dyke killing Laquan McDonald.
I can already assume the racist right will tie him to the #BlackLivesMatter movement.
The feds bust a student who lived near the campus.
Jabari R. Dean, 21, a student at the University of Illinois at Chicago, was charged with transmitting a threat in interstate commerce.
He appeared in federal court Monday afternoon wearing a red UIC hooded sweatshirt and jeans, and kept his arms at his sides as he quietly confirmed that he understood the proceedings. He will be held in jail until Tuesday, when he is expected to be released to the custody of his mother.
In an online post Saturday night, the extremist allegedly threatened to shoot and kill 16 students or staff, and then the police, on the U. of C.'s Hyde Park campus at 10 a.m. Monday, and then kill himself. He cited as a motive the fatal shooting last year of 17-year-old McDonald by a Chicago police officer, which has sparked protests around the city.
The officer, who shot McDonald 16 times, was charged last week with first-degree murder.
In response to the threat, U. of C. President Robert Zimmer canceled all classes and other activities planned for Monday on campus.
Zimmer called Monday a "challenging day" but said classes and other operations will resume Tuesday.
The FBI does not consider this extremist a threat, and he did not have the weapons to carry out the threat, federal prosecutors said in court. If convicted, he faces a maximum of five years in prison. The extremist was a student at Chicago State University from 2013 until summer 2015 before transferring to UIC this fall to study electrical engineering, according to records from both schools.
Two weeks in and he's already fucked up. A small town police chief was fired out the cannon after it was revealed he made some offensive remarks about Black people in an email sent to residents of a nearby city.
The town of Farrell, Pennsylvania had to fire the police chief out the cannon, two weeks into his new job. The town found out that the chief had used a racial slur in an email sent to a group of school administrators in nearby Sharon. They didn't properly vet the guy and now they're doing damage control now that he's been fired out the cannon.
Farell is 15 miles from the city of Youngtown, Ohio. The controversy became a national headline.
The folks over at Raw Story got the story on lock. In the email, the now disgraced police chief said that “N****rs gotta learn how to read.” It was a remark made after he participated in a book drive for the community.
Tom Burke sent the offensive email to around 40 members of parent-teacher organizations connected to elementary schools in Sharon, Pa. He was sworn in on Nov. 17 as chief of police. The offensive email came to light shortly thereafter.
Farrell Mayor Olive McKeithan said that she asked for Burke’s resignation in a meeting on Wednesday.
“I asked him if he would step down because I thought it would be best for the community,” McKeithan told the Sharon Herald. “He said ‘yes.’”
Burke said at his resignation that his intention was never to offend anyone.
About half of Farrell’s residents identify as black. Burke was set to take office at the beginning of 2016. He retired as the police chief of nearby Sharon in 2007.
Although Burke resigned on Wednesday, the city did not make the news public until the weekend due to the Thanksgiving holiday.
Michael Ceci, Farrell city manager, told the Herald by phone on Friday that he would never have hired Burke if he’d known about the offensive email.
“He wasn’t set to be on the job until Dec. 1, so we allowed him to resign before he actually was on the job,” Ceci explained.
“(I)f somebody were to ask if we had discovered this e-mail during the interviewing process would we have hired him, the answer would be no,” Ceci said.
“When dealing with the public sector people should expect more from us,” Ceci said. “There is no place in government on any level for this.”
Trump has a Black supporter, retired NBA player Dennis Rodman.
Donald Trump was going to hold a press conference today. It was suddenly canceled after it was revealed that the people who planned on endorsing him for president backed down.
A group of 100 Black clergy men were supposed to meet privately with the Republican front runner at the Trump Tower this week. It was going to be followed by a press conference. That was canceled after many a backlash from members of the Black church.
Some of the members were concerned that their church may face scrutiny if they endorse him.
Some in the Black church believe that Trump and Ben Carson are too polarizing.
It didn't help much to find out that Trump retweeted a crime statistic that many saw as a racial dog whistle. To make it even more clear, he tweeted an organization that doesn't even exist. The statistic came from some White extremist website.
And the brutal take down of a #BlackLivesMatter activist at a Trump event in Alabama happened.
Matter of fact, did the Black community forget that Trump was constantly bugging for President Barack Obama's birth certificate.
Trump's biggest Black backers so far is Dennis Rodman and those two women who made a viral YouTube video slamming Megyn the Outrage Princess.
Even Hispanic and Black Republicans are concerned about the direction of the party.
This weekend Black conservative agitator CJ Pearson denounced the Republican Party when they ignored the obvious police brutality in the Laquan McDonald shooting.
Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant announced he's packing it up after this season ends with the NBA. He is 37 years old and has been battling injuries since the last season.
"I'm ready to let you go," Bryant said in a poem, titled "Dear Basketball," published on the Players' Tribute website.
There has been whispers about the legendary baller's retirement since the 2014-15 season. But now we can finally confirm that Kobe's time is up. He's going to retire a legend.
NBA Commissioner Adam Silver called Bryant "one of the greatest players in the history of our game" in a statement given to the junk food media.
"With 17 NBA All-Star selections, an NBA MVP, five NBA championships with the Lakers, two Olympic gold medals and a relentless work ethic, Kobe Byrant is one of the greatest players in the history our game. Whether competing in the Finals or hoisting jump shots after midnight in an empty gym, Kobe has an unconditional love for the game".
Silver added, "I join Kobe's millions of fans around the world in congratulating him on an outstanding NBA career and thank him for so many thrilling memories".
Kobe is a 20 year NBA veteran in the game. He is currently third in all-time scoring points. He comes behind the legendary Karl Malone and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in scoring.
Kobe is married to Vanessa Bryant (nee Laine) and has two children.
He has appeared in movies, video games, and has endorsement deals from major companies.
Kobe beaten a rape charge in 2003 when he was accused by a Colorado hotel staffer. He appeared with Vanessa by his side to tell the junk food media that he had numerous affairs on his wife. He admits that the he had consensual sex with the accuser. The accuser refused to push the charges further.
Did you know that Kobe had a feud with former teammate Shaqueille O'Neal?
Did you know that Kobe is 6'6"?
Kobe grew up in Philadelphia, and attended Lower Merion High School located in Ardmore, in the Philadelphia suburb of Lower Merion. He was one of the first NBA players to leave straight out of high school to join the league.
Ohio governor John Kasich is getting desperate. He launched an attack against Republican front runner Donald Trump. The insurgent's lead is HUGE.
Ohio Republican governor John Kasich has went forth to the junk food media declaring that he will likely not support the Republican nominee if he isn't the one. He said that Donald Trump, Ben Carson and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) are destroying the party.
Conservatives see Kasich as well as Jeb Bush, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and New Jersey Chris Christie as the establishment.
Many conservatives see Trump as the candidate who tells it like it is. Despite his recent controversies involving the mocking of a disabled reporter, the retweeting of a racist mock statistic and the database for Muslims, Trump is still leading in the national polls.
It's stomped the Republican establishment.
It seems like Donald Trump is a real "serious" contender in this race for the White House.
Kasich isn't like this one bit. So he teamed up with allies who are willing to shelve out $$$$$$$$$ for an anti-Trump campaign.
On GOP Sundays, the governor went on to talk about his struggling poll numbers. Kasich dismissed the polls and declared that he's in it to win. He said that Trump will not be the nominee.
Kasich is a low energy candidate. Donald Trump is surging.
“I think he’s very divisive and I do not believe he will last,” Kasich said when asked if he would support Trump if he wins the Republican primary.
Kasich pointed to Trump’s recent back and forth with The New York Times reporter Serge Kovaleski as a reason he won’t win the nomination. Trump has drawn criticism this week for appearing to mimic Kovaelski's mannerisms, caused by a muscular disorder, which Kasich said Trump “absolutely mocked.”
“Somebody who divides this country, here in the 21st century, who’s calling names of women and Muslims and Hispanics and mocking reporters, and says, ‘I didn’t do it,’ but he did do it, it’s just not going to happen,” said Kasich.
Kasich added that Trump’s popularity has been overblown. The two have sparred at recent debates, and Kasich released a video this week featuring a veteran comparing Trump’s rhetoric to that of the Nazis.
“Everybody needs to get over it and take a deep breath,” Kasich said.
So Kasich is dropping the "nice guy" act and telling the junk food media he's not divisive. Let's go back to the Kasich years in the Ohio state house.
The controversial SB-5 law, the John Crawford shooting, the Tamir Rice shooting, the Republican redistricting scandal, the political kickbacks, and pulling back infrastructure funds for the state are reasons to why he's struggling to win the nomination. He doesn't give two fucks about the issues in the state. He's just trying to appeal to his radical base.
Many see Kasich as a failed governor. He won reelection because the Democrats had a candidate who was a natural born loser. Kasich isn't the savior of the Republican Party.
He's the reason to why the party is so fucking stupid. He tries to act smart, but in reality he's stupid.
He's not as stupid as former Louisiana governor Bobby Jindal, but he's right up in the area.
The junk food media labels this drug lord the "most adorable" criminal ever to be arrested.
Me and S. Baldwin must have missed this one. But I will certainly address this turkey.
The daughter of a DEA agent is facing some federal charges for trafficking narcotics. She is a 19 year old woman who decided that "dope game" is the quickest way to make the $$$$$.
Sarah Furay is attracting junk food media attention. She was arrested after the law found cocaine, marijuana, ecstasy and methamphetamine in her apartment.
The Daily Mail reports that Furay faces felony charges for the manufacture and delivery of a controlled substance and drug possession is also facing the wrath of her father Bill Furay, a supervising agent for the DEA's office in Beaumont, Texas.
He is currently serving as the DEA’s diplomatic attaché at the U.S. Ambassador’s office in Panama City, Panama, and was previously Resident Agent in Charge at the DEA office in Galveston, Texas.
Furay has been with the agency since 2008.
Furay’s mother, Shawn Creswell, is principal of Coulson Tough Elementary School in the Woodlands, Texas. She has been a school educator for 20 years, the past 15 of which have been served in greater Houston’s Conroe Independent School District.
Furay was busted in College Station, Texas and is being held on a $40,000 "get out free card".
She is innocent until proven guilty. She faces three felonies. Each charge could put Furay in the iron college for LIFE especially if the federal charges continue to stick.
Many in the junk food media see a privileged daughter getting off. She is the daughter of a no-nonsense agent who has no compassion for dope boys. Her mother is an educator who deals with troubled children.
In a world where most in the junk food media assume that Blacks, Hispanics, and Mexican drug cartels being involved in the dope game, they often ignore the obvious. They ignore the fact that White people are the biggest drug pushers in the world.
What pisses me off is the fact the junk food media looks at this criminal as "adorable".
There's nothing adorable about her.
This is a disgrace. This woman is peddling dope in the streets. This woman isn't showing an ounce of remorse for her actions. Matter of fact, the woman was happy in her mugshot.
Death and Taxes made it clear that this bit of hypocrisy is the reason to why #BlackLivesMatter exists.
The magazine made light of the situation in their posting. They realized the story attracted a bit of backlash and cries of racial bias. They quickly apologized.
The Black Lives Matter movement, among other criminal justice activists, called out the hypocrisy of the media's lighthearted approach to Furay's arrest. And for good reason.
Why?
As mentioned in our letter of apology for our flippant coverage of Furay’s arrest, you don't see 19-year-old men and women of color described in reports as "cute" or "adorable." For that matter, you don't see them smiling in mugshots. One needn’t wonder why. The criminal justice system and mainstream media are fixed in favor of profiles such as that of a lily-white, college-age girl — and particularly Furay.
The terrorist was a White man who had mental issues and a heinous motive.
As the name of the victims were being released, the motive inspired by this terrorist could be possibly anti-government, anti-choice and anti-Obama. The recipes of rhetoric being vomited by agitators in the junk food media.
Of course, I don't blame the agitators for the actions of this terrorist. But since the junk food media is invested in this, I might as well tell you what the real problem is.
We're just tone deaf when it comes to these awful tragedies.
The families of Jennifer Markovsky, 36, and Ke'Arre Stewart, 29, confirmed their identities Sunday, The Denver Post reports. Jennifer was a mother of two who took her friend to the Planned Parenthood in Colorado Springs. She was shot on site during the terrorist's medley. She was married and was a stay a home mother.
Ke'Arre served a tour of duty for the Iraq and Afghanistan Wars. He was married and the father of two children. He was shot outside the grocery store near the women's health facility.
A terrorist killed two innocent people. Both of them were parents and had bright futures ahead of them.
The third victim, University of Colorado-Colorado Springs police officer Garrett Swasey, was identified previously and remembered during a Sunday morning service at New Hope, the church where he served as an elder.
Before joining the UCCS police force, he was a nationally ranked junior figure skater and ice dancer.
He was married with two children.
The terrorist is being held on capital murder charges. He was denied a "get out free card". This terrorist is innocent until proven guilty. If found guilty on the charges, he could get the gas house.
The right wing network and the Republican candidates are deflecting the terrorist attack in Colorado Springs to the left.
They continue to ignore the real problem here in the United States.
GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE THREAT IN THE UNITED STATES!
You notice for every mass shooting, every police shooting of an unarmed person of color, and terrorist attack, conservatives use this as a moment to deflect from the real reasons why this stuff happens every freaking day in the world.
Concern trolls are Republican and conservative nobodies who like to deflect the real issues to hypothetical rhetoric and false equivalency.
Garrett Swasey died in the line of duty.
The Republican candidates once again deflect the narrative of this tragedy to point the finger at Planned Parenthood, BlackLivesMatter, President Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.
On GOP Sundays, you have Donald Trump, Lindsey Graham, Jeb Bush, Mike Huckabee, John Kasich, Carly Fiorina, Ben Carson and Republican lawmakers denouncing the terrorist but avoiding calling this act in Colorado Springs an act of terror.
Scratch that Huckabee did call it an act of domestic terrorism.
Fiorina found some way to place #BlackLivesMatter and the left in the fold. “This is so typical of the left to immediately begin demonizing a messenger because they don’t agree with the message,” Fiorina said.
Fiorina has been one of the most forceful Republican candidates in denouncing Planned Parenthood after heavily edited undercover videos were released supposedly showing Planned Parenthood staff discussing the provision of fetal tissue samples for research purposes.
Planned Parenthood locations across the country have faced an increase in violence since the release of the heavily edited videos by the anti-abortion Center for Medical Progress. There have been four arsons at Planned Parenthood locations in California, Illinois, Louisiana and Washington since the release of the videos.
Fiorina called the Colorado Springs shooting a “tragedy” and denounced the shooter as a “deranged” man who should be tried for murder.
NBC is rolling out a big event for the holiday. The reboot of the famed Broadway show is coming back to the screens with an all-star African American cast. Produced by Craig Zadan and Neil Meron, it will premiere on the network.
Will it be a hit or a flop?
The cast includes Shanice Williams, Ne-Yo, Amber Riley, Elijah Kelley, Common, Mary J. Blige, Queen Latifah, David Alan Grier and Uzo Aduba.
It will premiere on the network on December 3rd.
It's been 40 years since The Wiz. The 1975 Broadway production won seven Tony Awards, including Best Musical. The musical was an early example of Broadway's mainstream acceptance of works with an all-black cast.
The Broadway show is an urbanized retelling of L. Frank Baum's classic 1900 children's novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz in the context of modern African-American culture.
Stephanie Mills, who once played Dorothy in The Wiz will make a guest star role as Aunt Em.
The musical inspired a motion picture film that featured Diana Ross, Nipsey Russell, Ted Ross, Lena Horne and Michael Jackson. It was viewed as a flop but remains a cult classic among the fans.
Someone pulled a b-move on a security company. The feds are searching for a suspect who managed to walk off with $500,000. The suspect came in without a weapon and not a scratch on him.
The feds are looking for the suspect involved in the robbery of an armored truck outside a Detroit casino. The suspect allegedly wore the same gear that the driver was wearing.
The robbery happened in the Greektown neighborhood. The Greektown Casino is located smack dead in the area.
The security guard who operated the truck is certainly going to be fired out the cannon. He will be under federal watch until they can prove that he wasn't an inside man.
The guard said that he was ordered to open the armored truck. The suspect grab the loot and disappeared. The law said that the suspect didn't appear to have a getaway ride in the area.
The truck wasn't supposed to be at the casino. There wasn't a scheduled pickup or drop off.
The suspect got away with over $500K.
I seriously doubt the suspect traveled across the Detroit River to escape the feds. The city of Detroit borders the U.S.-Canadian border.
Loomis will be doing some changes to the policies.
The suspect is described as a black male wearing a Loomis Armored security guard shirt.
A source familiar with the case said the security guard of the armored vehicle thought the thief was a coworker because he was wearing a uniform shirt.
FBI media spokeswoman Jill Washburn said the FBI is investigating, but she declined further comment, citing agency policy.
Something doesn't smell right! To me it smells like an inside job!
Don't you need a badge before you approach an armored truck?
Second don't you have to fill out paper work?
Did the security guard call his supervisor?
Since there was no delivery or pickup, why did the security guard come to the Greektown Casino?
The feds are getting to the bottom of this. That requires the surveillance cameras around the facility, the streets and local businesses.
Somehow you can't just take $500K and not be noticed!
I got an opportunity to check out the latest stories on Google+.
It seems like nothing is sacred anymore. This was mentioned by S. Baldwin.
I happened to click on Addicting Info and got an opportunity to shake my head in disgust over the heartless actions done to a homeless veteran.
In Philadelphia, the law is searching for the individuals who beat 51-year old Robert Barnes to death.
Robert Barnes before his death. He was hit over the head with a blunt object.
They believe Robert got hit with a blunt object. He was declared brain dead after the injuries prove to be too extensive to treat. He would die upon the injuries.
The people who were arrested were teenagers. They claimed that Robert got into an argument with one of the suspects.
Not only that, one of the suspect's mother, 34-year-old Aleathea Gillard, has been charged in the case, along with 24-year-old Shareena Joachim.
Three teens were also arrested and charged with attempted murder, aggravated assault, simple assault and related offenses.
World News Today sends our condolences to the family of Robert Barnes.
The racist right tries to deflect, distract, discredit and disengage.
When #BlackLivesMatter denounces police brutality, conservatives are trying to turn the conversation into "Black On Whatever" violence.
That right wing network has declared war on #BlackLivesMatter.
Every agitator that appears on their lineups have openly attacked the group and President Barack Obama for embracing the grassroots movement.
After all, since he's the first Black president, according to the agitators he's a part of their movement.
Well one journalist managed to call out the bullshit deflection.
Raw Story and Mediaite have managed to catch the debate between Chicago Sun Times writer Lynn Sweet and two of that right wing network's agitators.
The syndicated writer Cal Thomas off the bat worrying his ass off about "Black on Black" crime.
Thomas and right wing network anchor Leland Vittert call out the junk food media for not questioning protesters on the names of the victims of recent violence in Chicago.
Chiraq is coming to the movie theaters. Spike Lee's movie talks about gun violence in Chicago.
Sweet decided to call them out on their concern trolling.
“There has been tremendous attention to crime in Chicago,” she said. “I don’t know how any person who is familiar with the situation says that there’s not.”
Sweet then pointed out that national news coverage of Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s bid for reelection had focused on crime in Chicago.
“So I don’t even understand the premise of where you’re coming from on this one. Respectfully said,” she said.
Conservatives only concerns for gun control is taking the Second Amendment rights from Blacks, Hispanics and Muslims.
They fail to realize that gun violence is by far the biggest threat to the United States. Terrorism, Ebola, and HIV are deadly threats to the country. But none so than the firearm and the reckless actions by those who operate them. That's where the problem lies.
