Felonious Efficiency: Rodney King (Not THAT One) *Allegedly* Robs/Attacks 7 People Living On The Same Block Within 21 Minutes

Source: seksan Mongkhonkhamsao / Getty Rodney King Jr. Charged With 10 Felonies Within 21 Minutes Crime isn’t exactly a talent, but it certainly appears to be a skill set based on this crazy a$$ story on Fox8 . 29-year-old Rodney Edward King Jr. has been indicted on 10 felonies and 2 misdemeanors in Franklin County, Ohio for terrorizing the community on August 6 between 9:54 p.m. and 10:15 p.m. says Prosecutor Ron O’Brien. “During a half-hour time span, this man went from one location to the next, within a one block radius, committing multiple felonies against seven different victims,” he said. The indictment alleges he robbed five random homes, attempted to enter a cab and threw a rock at the vehicle, causing damage. From there, he got on a bus, pulled out a screwdriver and swung it at the driver, hitting the driver in the foot, O’Brien said. Charges against King consist of aggravated burglary, aggravated robbery, felonious assault and aggravated menacing. If only Rodney put his super powers to use for good.

Drugs Are Bad M’kay: Minnesota Man Sentenced 3 Years After Meth-Addled “Death Party” Celebrating Wife’s Passing

Source: Brown County Sheriff's Office / Brown County Sheriff's Office Man Sentenced 3 Years In Prison For Wife’s Meth-Filled “Death Party” There’s probably a much less poisonous and criminal way to celebrate the death of your spouse. According to NYDailyNews , 59-year-old Duane Johnson was sentenced to 3 years in prison yesterday after pleading guilty to criminal neglect and 3rd degree murder of his 69-year-old wife Debra Johnson. See, Debra lived in a nursing home and she told Duane she wanted to be removed so that she could die at home after some “partying”. The couple used meth for 5 days, had sex, and listened to their favorite song Quiet Riot’s “Metal Health”. Duane was found butt-a$$ naked next to his wife’s dead body back on January 24 this year. Debra’s autopsy revealed her cause of death as “methamphetamine toxicity”. Duane likely would have gotten more time but the judge gave him credit for the 201 days served. This case took place in Minnesota but if we didn’t know any better we’d swear it’s Florida.

Tony Orlanda Singleton gets life in prison for raping and impregnating a 10-year-old in 2016. https://t.co/rxhOyMizLj — WTHR.com (@WTHRcom) August 8, 2019 According to court documents , Singleton came into a room while she was watching cartoons in a home in Estill in April 2016, turned off the lights and raped her. He was found guilty on Wednesday of first-degree criminal sexual assault and will spend the rest of his life in prison without the possibility of parole. Prosecutor Hunter Swanson said in court, “This girl should be getting ready to go back to school, making friends, braiding her hair – things other girls her age typically are engaged in. Instead, she’s in a courtroom, reliving a horrific ordeal. Tony Singleton is to blame for that. This man was someone she trusted, someone who lurked inside her home, someone who changed the fabric of his victim’s life forever.” There truly are some sick people out here in the world.

The rapper posted a picture to his Instagram page for the first time in a month, thanking everyone who supported him over the last few weeks. He also thanks the court for letting him go back home to his family. View this post on Instagram THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART TO ALL OF MY FANS, FRIENDS AND ANYONE ACROSS THE GLOBE WHO SUPPORTED ME DURING THESE LAST FEW WEEKS I CANT BEGIN TO DESCRIBE HOW GRATEFUL I AM FOR ALL OF YOU THIS HAS BEEN A VERY DIFFICULT AND HUMBLING EXPERIENCE I WANT TO THANK THE COURT FOR ALLOWING ME BLADI AND THOTO TO RETURN TO OUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS THANKS AGAIN FOR ALL OF THE LOVE AND SUPPORT A post shared by PRETTY FLACKO (@asaprocky) on Aug 2, 2019 at 11:39am PDT This post follows news that Rocky was just released from jail today while the judges in his Swedish assault case decided his fate. A$AP and the other two defendants are free to leave Sweden while they await a verdict, which is expected to come August 14. Prosecutors requested that Rocky–who’s already spent a month in jail–remain in the country because he was a flight risk, but the judges disagreed.  Prosecutors also asked the judges to impose a 6-month jail sentence for the rapper, saying he should be judged harshly because they claim he threw a bottle at the alleged victim–while A$AP admitted to picking up the bottle, he denies using it on the alleged victim. According to TMZ ,  Rocky got a huge assist on Friday from two eyewitnesses who both said they did NOT see Rocky strike the alleged victim with a bottle, which is the centerpiece of the prosecution’s case. Annoyingly, Donald Chump tweeted following news of Rocky’s release, letting off some of the most insufferable puns anyone has ever heard.

Race Matters: G-Eazy Owns His White Privilege After Jada Pinkett Smith Calls Out Double Standard In A$AP Rocky’s Swedish Arrest

Source: Roger Kisby/Getty Images for BET/RB/Bauer-Griffin/GC Images / Getty G-Eazy Responds To Jada Pinkett-Smith Tweet About A$AP Rocky Sweden Arrest A$AP Rocky’s Swedish detention is some bulls#!t and each that the passes the call for his release gets louder and louder stateside. Yesterday it struck Jada Pinkett Smith that there is a disparity in Sweden’s treatment of a white rapper like G-Eazy and a Black rapper like Rocky who were both charged with assault… Hold it … G-Eazy got to strike a deal a day and half after possession of drugs and assault charges??? But you’re holding Rocky. We got the message loud and clear Sweden. Trust me … we got it. — Jada Pinkett Smith (@jadapsmith) July 19, 2019 Gerald had drugs too and STILL didn’t get half the punishment that Rocky is currently receiving. For those of you stuck on the comments that Rocky made previously about Black Lives Matter, Jada had a lil’ somethin’ somethin’ for y’all too… We all make mistakes and we can deal with that … in house … once he gets home. #freeASAP pic.twitter.com/TCMAVQR0HE — Jada Pinkett Smith (@jadapsmith) July 19, 2019 While it’s not clear that this is a direct response, it’s pretty clear that G-Eazy was hearing the talk about his case vs. Rocky’s and wanted to make sure that people know where he stands. This is the sad truth…The difference between me and Rocky’s treatment in Sweden brings to mind two concepts that disgustingly go hand in hand: white privilege and systemic racism. Let's call it what it is. He should not be behind bars right now. My heart goes out to @asvpxrocky pic.twitter.com/PHDrKsfiUF — G-Eazy (@G_Eazy) July 20, 2019 At least he’s self-aware. Meanwhile, Donald Trump is on Twitter trying to win brownie points during the same week he told women of color to “go back where you came from” Just had a very good call with @SwedishPM Stefan Löfven who assured me that American citizen A$AP Rocky will be treated fairly. Likewise, I assured him that A$AP was not a flight risk and offered to personally vouch for his bail, or an alternative…. — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 20, 2019 Even people like Justin Bieber can see the jig… I want my friend out.. I appreciate you trying to help him. But while your at it @realDonaldTrump can you also let those kids out of cages? — Justin Bieber (@justinbieber) July 20, 2019 That part.

What’s Wrong With Y’all? Father Charged With Murder For Driving His Autistic Sons Off A California Pier

Source: Dennis Fischer Photography / Getty A Father Drove His Two Severely Autistic Sons Off Of A Pier In California A man in California has been charged with capital murder for killing his two sons, who both have severe autism. He is being accused of taking out insurance policies to cover his family and then driving his car off a Los Angeles-area pier four years ago, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office reported. 44-year-old Ali Elmezayen was charged with two counts of murder and one count of attempted murder with the special circumstance allegations of multiple murders carried out for his financial gain. Prosecutors involved in the case said that he purchased $6 million in life insurance policies to cover his family in the event of an accidental death. Elmezayen is currently under federal custody and will first be tried on the insurance fraud charges, then the murder charges. He was in the car with his wife and two sons back in April of 2015 when he drove it off the berth and plunged them all into the water, according to prosecutors. Ali’s car window was open, and he swam to the surface within 30 seconds before making his way to a ladder on the pier. His wife, Rabab Diab, couldn’t swim, but authorities said that she was rescued by a fisherman after surfacing and screaming, “My kids, my kids.” “The poor lady was screaming hysterically,” recalled fisherman Ray Prince. “I thought she was going to drown.” Their two boys, 8-year-old Abdelkarim and 13-year-old Elhassan, couldn’t swim and were also strapped into child seats. Their lifeless bodies ended up being pulled from the car later by rescue divers. Following this incident, Elmezayen collected more than $260,000 in insurance payouts for the deaths and then wired over $170,000 back to his native Egypt, prosecutors in the fraud case explained. Initially, the district attorney declined to bring charges in his sons’ deaths because of insufficient evidence. A police mechanic found that the brake pedal in the vehicle didn’t properly work, but couldn’t tell if that was the case before the tragedy or because of the salt water corrosion. These new charges are a result of a further investigation. If convicted   of murder, Ali Elmezayen faces a possible maximum sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole or the death penalty.

Oh Word? Yeah, Aight: Swedish Ambassador Says Black People Shouldn’t Be Afraid To Pull Up Despite A$AP Rocky Situation [Video]

Source: Diego Donamaria / Getty Swedish Ambassador Says A$AP Rocky’s Charges Might Be More Serious Cap. Cap. Cap. Cap. Cap. Apparently, the Ambassador to Sweden is doing some damage control in light of the bad PR the country is getting behind A$AP Rocky’s wrongful arrest and subsequent imprisonment. Karin Olofsdotter tells TMZ that Rocky has not been singled out and is being treated with TLC. Olofsdotter also says that despite the fact that the whole incident is on tape, Rocky may be charged with more serious crimes, perhaps not seen. She didn’t really elaborate on her ominous statement. She goes on to say that Black people should feel welcome because Sweden is “top ten in the world for rule of law” whatever the f**k THAT means… Yeah. Naw.
