AR- 2 MEN BURN A CROSS IN YARD OF WHITE WOMAN & HER 3 BIRACIAL CHILDREN – GET 15 MONTHS! Jacob Wingo, 20, Clayton Morrison, 30, Loretta Marie Slaughter-Shirah As disgusting as cross burning is, legally speaking it is protected under the 1st Amendment despite laws to the contrary. The first Amendment protects unpopular speech. Cross burning is definitely unpopular and therefore protected speech. If you believe in the 1st Amendment, you have to take the bad with the good. That doesn’t mean they had a right to go on her property and harass her. But the way the law is, if you even burn a cross on your own property you could be arrested.

CA- STEPDAD SHAKES 2 MONTH OLD BABY, ALLEGEDLY, BRINGS HER TO HOSPITAL IN FULL CARDIAC ARREST, RESUSITATED – JUDGE ORDERED SHE BE TAKEN OFF LIFE SUPPORT! Donald Hillman, 33, stepdad OK. I have some major problems with this story. Why in the hell is a judge ordering the state to kill a baby by taking her off life support??? Doesn’t the baby have relatives to make that decision? The article never said the baby was brain dead. Then they have the nerve to charge the stepdad with homicide?!? That judge should be charged with homicide right alongside the stepdad!!! He’s the one who ordered the baby killed.
CA- KICK A GINGER DAY CHARGES MIGHT BE DROPPED! 3 KIDS CHARGED WITH BEATING UP RED HEADED KIDS MIGHT ENTER A DIVERSION PROGRAM RATHER THAN FACE CRIMINAL CHARGES! A.E. Wright Middle School Child abuse allegations: Two 12 year olds and one 13 year old were charged with beating up red headed kids because Facebook postings were telling them to. The Facebook postings were based upon a South Park tv episode about kicking “gingers”. This is very discriminatory for the charges to be dropped just because the victims were redheads. If the victims were Black or Jewish, those kids would be charged with hate crimes, not be entering any “diversion program”! I say, throw their little a$$es in juvie!

CA- MOM CHARGED WITH TRYING TO PAY FOR HER 7 YEAR OLD SON TO BE KIDNAPPED FROM A FOSTER FAMILY & TAKEN TO TIJUANA! Niveen Ismail The article never said why the boy was taken from the bio mom. The boy was living with the foster family since 2005. The foster family was in the process of adopting him! This bothers me. Obviously the mother loved her son enough to want to flee the country with him and we all know the state has a financial incentive to take kids away from their parents. For every child yanked out of their home and put into foster care, as well as adopted out, – the state makes a boatload of money. Why was the boy taken from the mother??? Children have a right to be raised by their biological, blood parent and not some strangers that can’t have children of their own.

On Saturday, Deramous told Adams: “You’re strong, you can handle what I’m going to do to you,” the report said. She then turned up the volume of the TV in the bedroom, gagged Adams and began to cut her abdomen open. Adams moaned in pain and Deramous stopped, police said.

VA- RASTAFARIAN INMATES SEGREGATED FOR 10 YEARS FOR REFUSING TO CUT THEIR HAIR! The prison policy is that male inmates have to have hair above their collars for hygenic reasons and to avoid concealing contraband. We all know that’s a crock of $h*t! It’s discriminatory in that it targets men and not women. The Rastafarians were claiming religious exemptions, the ACLU sued on behalf of them and Muslim inmates and lost the case. There is no good reason for this policy except to humiliate people.
FL- ACCUSED MURDERER CLAIMS SPRAY ON TAN KILLED HIS WIFE! Adam Kaufman
Since today is the 29th anniversary of John Lennon’s death, I thought I’d include this bit of info: NYC- BEATLE, JOHN LENNON GIVEN NO FUNERAL & HE WAS BURNED OFF THE FACE OF THE EARTH BY WIDOW, DESPITE HIS FEAR OF CREMATION!
According to controversial biographer Albert Goldman, “Lennon had a horror of cremation, a practice that he inveighed against and once proposed to protest in a song. Despite his aversion, his widow arranged to have his body burned.” And from the Channel 4 documentary “The Real John Lennon”, it is clear that none of his family in England were consulted about the perfunctory disposal of his body.
John’s 5 year old son Sean wasn’t told the awful news until the morning of 10 December. Understandably distraught, he asked to see his father one last time, so Lennon’s assistant Fred Seaman rang security man Douglas MacDougal at Ferncliff Mortuary and asked him to hold off on the cremation. It was too late.
But it gets worse.
According to Seaman’s account in his book “The last days of John Lennon”, MacDougal told him that John’s face had been serene and calm until just before the body entered the oven, when suddenly it contorted into a “pained, macabre grin” apparently due to rigor mortis.
