Craigory Burch, Jr. was murdered by people who he thought were his friends.
The Georgia law enforcement agencies are investigating the death of a lottery winner. Seven individuals broke into the home of the man and his family. They would end up attacking the family and killing the man.
Now they're being served in the death of Craigory Burch, Jr.
The Atlanta area man won nearly $500,000 in the state lottery. He was a struggling father of three and had worked a few jobs before luck struck him. He and his girlfriend Jasmine Hendricks were grateful to the community.
He was celebrating the Christmas holiday by donating gifts to charity. Someone got wind of the man's good fortunes. They decided to master a plan to extort money from Craigory.
So seven people would end up breaking into his home. Some were armed with firearms.
Investigators believe three masked people broke into a home under the cover of late-night darkness on Jan. 20. Authorities believe they aimed to rob Burch of his lottery winnings, WALB reported.
The Unlucky Seven.
The suspects were identified as Rosalyn Swain, 22; Keyona Dyous, 24; Earnest Holcomb, 27; Wayan Jordan, 17; Dabrentis Overstreen, 19; Nathaniel Baker, 28; and Anjavell Johnson, 21, according to WFXL.
Ben Hill County Sheriff Bobby McLemore told the news station more arrests were expected but the attack appeared to be targeted and not random.
All seven suspects were charged with malice murder, armed robbery, aggravated assault and possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime, WALB reported.
Burch's friends said he worked as a forklift operator and used some of his lottery winnings to buy Christmas presents for those in need. Jasmine told WALB he pleaded with his attackers before they fatally shot him.
"When they came in, he said, 'Don't do it, bro. Don't do it in front of my kids. Please don't do it in front of my kids and old lady. Please don't do that, bro. Please don't,'" Hendricks said.
Six of the suspects were being held in Ben Hill County Jail Monday. The remaining suspect was in custody in Colquitt County, according to WALB.
The suspects are innocent until proven guilty.

News agitator fired out the cannon for acting ignorant on the social media.
We haven't forgotten about the mass shooting that occurred in Pittsburgh. A family of five were murdered in cold blood after an altercation with two unknown gunmen. The FBI and Pittsburgh Metro Police are investigating this and hopeful they will catch these terrorists.
Well the local junk food media covered this tragedy.
Local news agitator WTAE loaded Wendy Bell in the cannon and fired her out the tent.
Bell's cannon firing was caused by her social media rant about "Black on Whatever" crime. She was playing the role of concern troll.
Here's her social media posting.
“Next to ‘If I've told you once, I've told you a thousand times,' I remember my mom most often saying to my sister and me when we were young and constantly fighting, ‘If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.' I've really had nothing nice to say these past 11 days and so this page has been quiet. There's no nice words to write when a coward holding an AK-47 hoses down a family and their friends sharing laughs and a mild evening on a back porch in Wilkinsburg. There's no kind words when 6 people are murdered. When their children have to hide for cover and then emerge from the frightened shadows to find their mother's face blown off or their father's twisted body leaking blood into the dirt from all the bullet holes. There's just been nothing nice to say. And I've been dragging around this feeling like a cold I can't shake that rattles in my chest each time I breathe and makes my temples throb. I don't want to hurt anymore. I'm tired of hurting.
You needn't be a criminal profiler to draw a mental sketch of the killers who broke so many hearts two weeks ago Wednesday. I will tell you they live within 5 miles of Franklin Avenue and Ardmore Boulevard and have been hiding out since in a home likely much closer to that backyard patio than anyone thinks. They are young black men, likely teens or in their early 20s. They have multiple siblings from multiple fathers and their mothers work multiple jobs. These boys have been in the system before. They've grown up there. They know the police. They've been arrested. They've made the circuit and nothing has scared them enough. Now they are lost. Once you kill a neighbor's three children, two nieces and her unborn grandson, there's no coming back. There's nothing nice to say about that.
But there is HOPE. And Joe and I caught a glimpse of it Saturday night. A young, African American teen hustling like nobody's business at a restaurant we took the boys to over at the Southside Works. This child stacked heavy glass glasses 10 high and carried three teetering towers of them in one hand with plates piled high in the other. He wiped off the tables. Tended to the chairs. Got down on his hands and knees to pick up the scraps that had fallen to the floor. And he did all this with a rhythm and a step that gushed positivity. He moved like a dancer with a satisfied smile on his face. And I couldn't take my eyes off him. He's going to Make It.
When Joe paid the bill, I asked to see the manager. He came over to our table apprehensively and I told him that that young man was the best thing his restaurant had going. The manager beamed and agreed that his young employee was special. As the boys and we put on our coats and started walking out -- I saw the manager put his arm around that child's shoulder and pat him on the back in congratulation. It will be some time before I forget the smile that beamed across that young worker's face -- or the look in his eyes as we caught each other's gaze. I wonder how long it had been since someone told him he was special.
There's someone in your life today -- a stranger you're going to come across -- who could really use that. A hand up. A warm word. Encouragement. Direction. Kindness. A Chance. We can't change what's already happened, but we can be a part of what's on the way. Speak up. Reach out. Dare to Care. Give part of You to someone else. That, my friends, can change someone's course. And then -- just maybe THEN -- I'll start feeling again like there's something nice to say.”
Bell joined WTAE in 1998. The native of Calabasas, Calif., lives in Point Breeze with her husband and five sons. Over her career, she won 21 Emmys, two Edward R. Murrow awards and a National Headliner Award.
Within hours of her firing, Bell's WTAE Facebook page was gone and she no longer appeared on WTAE's web page staff listing.
Bell returned to work at Channel 4 after a Florida vacation but never returned to the air. Station officials fired her in a meeting and then informed the rest of the news staff.
“WTAE has ended its relationship with anchor Wendy Bell,” read a statement from Hearst Television, the station's parent company. “Wendy's recent comments on a WTAE Facebook page were inconsistent with the company's ethics and journalistic standards.”
A Hearst Television spokesman declined to comment further.
Bell said Wednesday she didn't get a “fair shake” from the station and that the story was not about her. Media critics say that she's crossed the line and it was justified. Bell crossed a line by presenting her opinions as fact on her anchor Facebook page.
White extremist Colin Flaherty is a panderer of this nonsense. He claims to be legitimate agitator in the junk food media. He says that the junk food media refuses to acknowledge this stuff. He's often banned from most media outlets because of inflammatory statements.
When will there be accountability for those who wear the badge?
We shed tears for those who were killed! But who pays the price for those who are killed in their so-called justification?
Jamar Clark was shot and killed by the Minneapolis Police Department. Witnesses say that Jamar was killed as he was handcuffed. The grand jury decided that the officers didn't commit murder.
Two police officers, Mark Ringgenberg and Dustin Schwarze, were involved in the shooting and were subsequently placed in the freezer. The night after the shooting, Clark died at a local hospital after being taken off life support.
In response to the shooting, #BlackLivesMatter organized protests outside the Fourth Precinct police station that lasted for 18 days, as well as other protests and demonstrations in and around Minneapolis. Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman announced that cases concerning officer-involved shootings would no longer be put before grand juries. On March 30, 2016, Freeman announced that no charges would be filed against Ringgenberg and Schwarze.
Cop walk for two who claimed Jamar reached for the gun.
The officers said that Jamar grabbed the gun while being restrained. The grand jury decided that Jamar's actions lead to her death. For more than 30 minutes in a downtown Minneapolis news conference and with Clark’s family and supporters present, Freeman laid out in meticulous detail the evidence that led to his decision and showed video from the scene on Plymouth Avenue N.
Clark, 24, a black man, was shot in the head during the scuffle.
Officers told Clark to take his hands out of his pockets and he wouldn’t. Ringgenberg, who had initially drawn his gun, put it back in the holster and grabbed Clark’s right wrist. Schwarze grabbed Clark’s other arm and dropped his handcuffs while trying to cuff him. Ringgenberg then tried a takedown move of Clark, and they both fell to the ground with Ringgenberg’s back to Clark’s stomach.
Ringgenberg felt his holstered gun go from his hip to the small of his back. Ringgenberg reached back and felt Clark’s hand on his gun. He repeatedly told Schwarze: “He’s got my gun, he’s got my gun.”
Schwarze put his gun to edge of Clark’s mouth and said, “Let go or I’m going to shoot you.”
They said that his DNA was placed on the holster of the officer's firearm.
The shooting led to international attention, widespread local protests, and an 18-day encampment outside the police department’s Fourth Precinct in north Minneapolis, near the site of the shooting.
Police chief Janeé Harteau said her department and other law enforcement agencies have several contingency plans in place should police action against protesters be necessary. “Officers will exercise restraint,” she said. “Their actions will be based on the actions of others.”
In a prelude to rolling out the evidence followed by his decision, Freeman nodded to the spate of killings of black citizens by police officers in Chicago, Cleveland and elsewhere in the past year or so, saying, “This case is not at all similar to others seen around the country,” he said. The officers “did not have an opportunity to withdraw” from the physical conflict with Clark.
The U.S. Department of Justice's Community Oriented Policing Services office announced that they would be conducting a review of the way the city handled the November protests.
#BlackLivesMatter plans to disrupt businesses.
Mike Freeman, Hennepin County Attorney, announced that his office would cease the use of grand juries in shootings involving police officers. The announcement was met with approval from activists and described by the Star Tribune as a "rare move" with potential ramifications throughout the country.
Later in March, in preparation for Freeman's office's announcement about whether they would be pursing charges against Ringgenberg and Schwarze, Harteau released a video warning against "violence or disruption" based on Freeman's actions.
These incidents make it harder for law enforcement to gain support from communities of color.
These issues aren't mentioned by the Republicans. They're too busy trying to tear away constitutional rights from Americans who demand police reform.
Rest in peace Jamar Clark, the system failed you and many others.
World News Today send our condolences to the family of Jamar Clark.
The walk of shame for Alabama governor. Caught in a sex scandal and federal probe.
The Republican Party is the party of the so-called "family values". With candidates running for president like Donald Trump, the party isn't so keen on the morals.
Robert Bentley, the governor of Alabama is facing some major heat. Bentley is caught in a sex scandal involving his closest advisor Rebekah Caldwell Mason. The two deny having any affair but the junk food media released some hot and steamy chats from Bentley mistakenly sent to his aide.
Now this scandal has gotten major attention from the junk food media and the feds. The Alabama Attorney General and federal Attorney General Loretta Lynch are investigating Bentley and his beau.
John Kasich's endorsement from Bentley could be an anchor.
The Justice Department are investigating the state's deliberate closing of license offices in urban areas in attempt to suppress voting registration.
The aide sent it to the junk food media. Last week, Mason got some unwanted attention after a former state worker accused Bentley of having an inappropriate relationship with her.
Former Law Enforcement Secretary Spencer Collier accused the governor of having a fling with Mason when they were on state business.
Bentley's wife Dianne sent him the papers after a 50-year marriage. She claimed that the damage was irreparable and his selfish actions will doom him.
The phone recordings went live and they are........the definition of hypocrisy.
Bentley was getting stressed while on vacation on the beach. He decides to ring up a female friend and say to her, "I Love you so much, I worry about loving you so much!"
Later, Bentley would say that he would love to get a little freaky with the person. He sent the messages to the male aide.
Alleged mistress Rebekah Mason.
"It didn't say, 'Hey baby I love you so much and I'd like to spent the rest of my life with you... You kiss me.. I love that. You know I do love that. You know what, when I stand behind you and I put my arms around you and I put my hands on your breast and I put my hands on you and just pull you in really close. I love that, too.'"
Mason decided to fire herself out the cannon pending a federal investigation. Mason, a former television news anchor in Bentley's hometown of Tuscaloosa, signed on as spokeswoman for the little-known legislator's 2010 longshot bid for governor. She worked as the governor's communications adviser before leaving to work on his 2014 re-election.
Observers said Mason helped the governor talk through options as he weighed decisions ranging from taking down Confederate flags to his proposed $800 million prison construction project before lawmakers.
Her detractors within the administration said her opinion increasingly became the only one Bentley would trust.
"At the end of 2014, Governor Bentley made it clear to me in no uncertain terms that from that point forward anyone who questioned Rebekah's influence would be fired," Collier said.
Mason's husband also works for Bentley as the director of Serve Alabama, the Governor's Office of Faith-Based and Volunteer Service.
In a statement issued last week, she said Bentley "apologized to me and to my family, we accepted his apology and have put all of this behind us."
A song that goes after controversial Republican candidate goes viral. The group made it specifically for the most unrepentant media whore in the presidential race. Once it made it to the conservative Craigslist, it goes viral and attracts attention from some of the finger wagging agitators.
The most annoying conservative agitator to have radio show, television, blog and access to Republican candidates is concern trolling hip-hop music once again. And he's telling the public that they're freedom of dissent should have them thrown in the iron college.
Instead of calling him Sean Hannity, we should could him, Nannity! Nannity, the whiniest man on the planet. A wannabe that shouldn't have been. He's trying to be like the old farts Bill O'Reilly and Rush Limbaugh. He's parroting talking point and name dropping asshole.
On the radio show and television program, Nannity complains about some sucker MCs dissing Donald Trump. He believes that the teens should get a visit from the Secret Service for saying "fuck Trump" and "don't come to Baltimore".
Comedian makes a mock rap going after Trump and conservatives go bananas over it.
The song Choppas in the a Trumk for Donald Trump (CIT4DT) were performed by comedians, Dooley, Tlow and Lor Roger.
Of course, they're not really threatening a presidential candidate. But since it's rap music and it has explicit lyrics, conservatives are outraged over it.
The song's threats of violence against Trump were not literal or even serious.
"We didn't mean no harm by it," Ibrahim said. "We don't got no damn chopper! My religion says don't even kill. I wouldn't kill an innocent fly."
Abdel Ibrahim (Dooley's) popularity online has grown in a short time. (He started posting videos about a year ago, he said.) His Twitter, Instagram and Facebook accounts each have more than 60,000 followers. A fan-uploaded compilation of his comedy clips has garnered nearly 350,000 views since late February.
Finger wagging asshole complains about rappers dissing Trump. He defended a washed up rocker who once threatened violence on Democratic candidates.
The "CIT4DT" video has more 200,000 views on the popular video blog Worldstarhiphop.com. Other widely viewed social media accounts like The Shade Room and DJ Akademik’s Instagram page have also shared the song. Then the conservative Craigslist posted it later that day.
The performer was totally pissed about Donald Trump's ban on Muslims coming into the United States. He said that Trump's rhetoric is dividing everyone and it's "fair game" to go after him.
Trump and Snoop Dogg
The song began as a 28-second video upload on March 15, when Ibrahim and his friends performed it live in a car and filmed the footage for Twitter. It included an unprintable hashtag denouncing Trump, and has earned more than 11,000 retweets.
The quick success led Dooley to ask, “Rt if you think we should make [it] into a real song?” On Sunday, the finished version and video were online. Ibrahim said this would be his first and only rap song.
When asked whom he'd like to see as the next president, Ibrahim said Bernie Sanders was "cool."
"To be honest, I just want a good person," he said. "I don't really pay attention to it. I just be hearing all of the stuff Trump be saying."
Trump suggested that his supporters take action against protesters. The agitators of the right often ignored the violence that occurs at these events. The junk food media is covering it and we're noticing.
Note: Nannity defended his buddy Uncle Ted when he said onstage that he's put a couple rounds in Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, then Democratic candidates running for president in 2008. Ted Nugent to this day still advocates violence against Obama and those who support him.
Trump's right hand shoved a reporter with a left hand.
Corey Lewandowski was charged with misdemeanor battery after he was accused of shoving former Breitbart News report Michelle Fields after a Donald Trump presser.
Fields said that when she attempted to ask Donald Trump a question as he was exiting the rally, Lewandowski grabbed and yanked Fields, leaving bruises on her left forearm. The Washington Post reporter Ben Terris, who allegedly witnessed the incident, identified Lewandowski.
Fields filed a criminal complaint with the local police department alleging battery.
The Trump campaign denied Fields' account, as did Lewandowski on his Twitter feed where he denied touching her. Further video evidence showed Lewandowski walking by Fields, appearing to lean and reach in her direction.
Also, she states that he grabbed her upper arm yet the bruises that she put on display are from her lower arm.
Michelle Fields files a criminal complaint against Trump's campaign manager after he roughed her up.
Lewandowski is the campaign manager for the Trump campaign. He will have a day in court for the attack. He is innocent until proven guilty.
Trump has defended Lewandowski. He said that his friend did the right thing.
Fields was a conservative agitator and reporter for the controversial news blog. Breitbart is totally in the tank for Trump. Some claim that Trump's paying the struggling news agitator.
Fields didn't get much backup from Breitbart and conservatives. The conservatives believe that Fields make up the whole incident. They feel that she was deliberately trying to stop Trump.
Some are calling her a liberal for going to the press to tell her side of the story.
Fields has gotten her share of death threats from this.
We hope that Michelle Fields finally see the light. Conservatives don't give a fuck about her. They don't see her as a news reporter. They see her as a person who deserved it.
