D.L. Hughley has not been afraid to speak his mind when it comes to the anger and pain he has felt since the deaths of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile. He appeared on Fox News to speak with Megyn Kelly and blasted her for being a racist as the two traded jabs live on air. The conversation began rather politely but […]
Mischa Barton is not perfect, people. Anyone who watched her performance as Marissa Cooper on The OC is well aware of this fact. But the actress (former actress?) has taken to Instagram in order to drive this point home in the form of an apology. Barton came under major fire this week when she addressed the sad situation of Alton Sterling being shot dead by police in Louisiana. The tragic incident took place on Tuesday. Based on the video (below), it certainly appears as if Sterling had already been detained by officers and placed on the ground at the time these cops opened fire, ending his life on the spot. Take a look at the disturbing footage for yourself: Alton Sterling: New Video Emerges of Deadly Louisiana Shooting In response to the seemingly senseless death, Barton wrote the following on her social media account: I’m truly heart broken to watch videos like the #altonsterling execution. This may have been going on forever in the United States but thank god the pigs get caught on camera now. Its unthinkable and an embarrassment to America. The country I was brought up in. Somebody make change. We need gun control and unity. And a real President so think about that when this election is around the corner. The world is a precarious place right now.#stop #reflect and #act appropriately. It’s hard to take issue with any of these words, right? So, what was the problem with Barton’s post? She included the following photo along with it: Somehow, it did not occur to Barton that an image of her relaxing in a bikini on board a yacht might not be the most appropriate setting in which one ought to touch on the topic of racial injustice. After deleting the photo, yet still receiving a great deal of backlash, Barton shared the following Mea Culpa on her Instagram account today: “I’m human, I’m not perfect, and I’m sorry if my Instagram post went out of context. I didn’t mean to offend anyone.” We can’t say we’re big fans of the I’m not perfect defense, but whatever. It’s better than no apology at all, right? In the wake of Sterling’s death, along with subsequent shooting of Philando Castile , many stars have sent messages of pain, anger and hope on social media. HERE IS WHAT BEYONCE SAID .

Social Justice Warrior Mischa Barton – who everyone forgot after the OC ended – leaving her with all the time and money in the world to do what made her happy – self medicating – to the point of rehab stints, a DEATH WATCH where we were convinced she was going to die – and then the fat years….all out of the public eye until Dancing with the Stars happened, and she got fit..maybe even sober…allowing her to pose in a bikini on a boat to express gun control, the future president and all things political about the state of America…because from a yacht…it’s pretty clear what changes need to be made for America to be less annoying for the rich… With all things political…and about guns, AMerica is mad at Mischa for this – to the point she deleted it but the internet remembers all things…..ironically not Mischa Barton…until she does things like this… I guess supporting ALton Sterling, calling the cops pigs in a bikini is cute…sexual…sexy but I just miss her cellulite ridden legs…what’s with this muscle tone…sad… The post Mischa Barton Bikini for Alton Sterling of the Day appeared first on DrunkenStepfather .
11 Police Shot, 4 Dead After Dallas Protests Protesters have taken to the streets in various cities across the US to demonstrate against police brutality, excessive force, and senseless killings in the wake of the deaths of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile, less than 24 hours apart from one another. Now, just as a protest in Dallas came to a close tonight, rapid-succession gunfire filled the streets and resulted in the injury of 11 officers, causing fatalities for four. Via NBCDFW : Three officers are dead, and at least seven others are injured in downtown Dallas Thursday, Dallas Police Chief David Brown says. The entire statement follows: Tonight it appears that two snipers shot ten police officers from elevated positions during the protest/rally. Three officers are deceased, two are in surgery and three are in critical condition. An intensive search for suspects is currently underway. No suspects are in custody at this time. We ask that any citizen with information regarding the shootings tonight call 214-671-3482. We will provide more information once it is available. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers tonight. DART says one of its officers has been killed, and three others have non-life threatening injuries. The gunshots rang out about 9 p.m. following a protest and rally held over two people killed in police shootings in Louisiana and Minnesota this week. The shootings took place as the rally and march were ending. Scores of police officers arrived downtown following the shooting, which took place near Main and Market streets and a block from the Old Red Courthouse building. Since that was printed, the number shot rose to 11 and death toll rose to 4. The Dallas Police Chief has blamed the incident on two snipers aiming at police, however live Twitter accounts of the action from people on the ground are giving totally different accounts of what is going on. INTERESTING. Twitter has also reportedly dispelled rumors that a protester spotted on the scene with a firearm he has the legal right to carry with him was one of the alleged snipers responsible for the attack. The man in the photos turned himself in, and the status of his apprehension is unknown. However, reports from 24-hour news networks are saying that Dallas authorities are still reporting that they have no suspects in custody. No word on the race or gender of said snipers or any proof/word if they were at all affiliated with the protest. But we know it’s getting VERY real out here… WFAA
