Source: Paras Griffin / Getty Lil Durk Wanted For Shooting In Atlanta The Atlanta Police Department wants to have a lil talk with Lil Durk. According to TMZ , 12 is hot on Durk’s heels as they believe he has something to do with a shooting that took place a few months ago. Back on February 5, APD responded to a man who was shot in in the parking lot of Atlanta’s famous fast food restaurant The Varsity. The victim survived his gunshot wounds. Witnesses say that the man was in an argument with two other men. It appears that the cops think Durk was one of those men. There is currently an arrest warrant for him and there are a LOT of charges: …criminal intent to commit murder, aggravated assault, possession of a firearm during commission of a felony, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, and another charge of associating with a criminal street gang to participate in a crime.

Harvey Weinstein Reportedly Settling Sexual Misconduct Cases With Accusers For $44 Million

Posted on May 25, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Source: Pacific Press / Getty Harvey Weinstein Reportedly Reached $44 Million Deal to Settle Lawsuits According to The New York Times , Harvey Weinstein and his former studio’s board members have reached a tentative $44 million deal to resolve lawsuits filed by women who accused him of sexual misconduct. The $44 million settlement would include $30 million for the accusers, creditors, and former employees of the studio, as well as an additional $14 million in legal fees. The settlement is claimed to be supported by all parties and will be reviewed for approval in a hearing on June 4. He is currently facing criminal charges in New York for allegations of sexual violence against two women in addition to more than 80 women that have accused him of wrongdoing, and many of those complaints involve sexual harassment, which is a civil violation, not a criminal one. Weinstein still faces criminal charges, and those cases will move forward. He has pleaded not guilty to rape and other sex crimes in a criminal case in Manhattan. The case is scheduled to go to trial in September.

For Discussion: Viral Video Of Young Black Man Running From Police Sparks Controversy Over Compliance

Posted on May 25, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Source: Jub Rubjob / Getty Viral Video Of Black Man Running From Police Sparks Controversy There’s a war going on online , no hot take is safe from. Early this morning, rapper and activist @Tef_Poe posted a video of a young black man escaping police arrest and doing the Jesse Owens on a couple of cops who weren’t paying attention. That video was reposted by Marc Lamont Hill with a caption that triggered a great many people. Check it out below. View this post on Instagram Legends are born every day. Be inspired. (NOTE: This post has sparked a lot of conversation. Some are celebrating this man’s escape. Others are saying it’s irresponsible to run from police, as they could have shot him in the back. This discourse is fascinating, as it prompts a series of questions for me: How do you resist unjust laws? Why do we accept and normalize the entirely illegal act of shooting as suspect as they run away? How do we create strategies of resistance that allow our children to still survive and come home? What is it about this video that makes so many folk want to cheer this young man on?) A post shared by Marc Lamont Hill (@marclamonthill) on May 25, 2019 at 4:30am PDT The outraged folks argue that this video is dangerous and that Black people should not be encouraged to run away from police as they might be shot. Those who disagree retort that they were THRILLED to see the young man escape the pigs and rightfully note that we’ve seen many, many, MANY Black people comply with law enforcement and STILL be killed. Where do you stand on this issue? Do you see an inherent danger “promoting” people to run from police? Should Black folks just do everything police say in order to stay alive? Let us know what you think down in the comments.

Ho Sit Down: North Carolina Elementary Teacher Resigns After Threatening To Shoot Up Her School

Posted on May 22, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Source: skynesher / Getty North Carolina School Teacher Resigns After Threatening Mass Shooting What in THE entire f**k is going on here?!? An elementary school teacher in Hillsborough, N.C., Kristen Thompson, has resigned after her colleagues reported her for threatening to shoot up Pathways Elementary School according to Fox8 . Thompson has bee charged with communicating a threat of mass violence by the Orange County Sheriff’s office: “This situation is being handled by law enforcement with the safety of our students and school staff as our utmost concern. Meanwhile, this situation is also being dealt with by school leadership as a personnel issue as well as a safety one. As such, the principal and other administrators are strictly forbidden by law from sharing information about the case. A threat of school violence is understandably unsettling for the community. Please know that the school and law enforcement are working together as a team to ensure the last few weeks of the school year are safe and productive for our students.” Jesus, Mary, and Joseph! It’s bad enough we have to worry about psychopaths murdering school kids, now we gotta worry about the damn teachers too?!?! SMH.

Kodak Black Says Cops & Media Violated His Constitutional Rights By Publishing Photo Of Rapper In Shackles (Exclusive)

Posted on May 16, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Source: Thaddaeus McAdams / Getty Kodak Black Facing Federal Weapons Charges Following Miami Arrest Last Week Kodak Black has blasted the media and the feds for allegedly releasing a picture of him after last week’s gun bust in order to gloat about nabbing a big name. That’s according to new legal docs from the troubled rapper, who is coming out swinging against his recent gun arrest at the Rolling Loud festival in Miami. Using his new legal name, Bill K. Kapri, the “Tunnel Vision” rapper filed court docs claiming that the media and law enforcement violated his constitutional rights when they disseminated a photo of him in shackles and street clothes at the Miami-Dade police station. Kodak said there was no reason for the cops and media to snap and distribute the pic – other than to create a “news spectacle” and for law enforcement to brag about catching such a big fish. The photo was released “for the purpose of creating a news spectacle in showcasing a Grammy-nominated artist shackled and in custody for all to see,” Kodak’s motion, which was obtained by BOSSIP, states. “Quite simply, there was no law enforcement or security rationale, and this was nothing more than a personal frolic for law enforcement to posture.” Source: Atlantic Records The feds raided Kodak’s tour bus May 11 while he was en route to perform at the festival. The photo in question is of a handcuffed Kodak waiting to be transported to federal detention, his court docs state. Kodak wants the police and the media to be barred from distributing any photos of him without a legit law enforcement or security purpose. The news comes as the prosecutor in his South Carolina rape case asked a judge to revoke his $100,000 bond because of his repeated arrests. A high school girl accused Kodak of sexually assaulting her following a concert in Columbia in 2016. A judge has yet to rule on either motion.

Florida Wild: Man Fires Gun At Teens To Get Them To Leave Community Pool

Posted on May 3, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Source: boonchai wedmakawand / Getty Are folks just shooting guns all willy nilly in Florida now? A 66-year old man is facing aggravated assault charges after firing his gun at two juveniles and an adult who wouldn’t leave the community pool.  Richard Marcelle approached the young people, saying that the pool was closed and they needed to leave, despite the fact that the pool was still open. After realizing that the pool was open until 10pm, and it was 9pm when Marcelle approached them, the victims approached the man and told him that they were going to stay because the pool was still open. But Marcelle wasn’t having it. He blocked the victims as they tried to get back into the pool area and then fired a small revolver-style handgun at the soil. Capt. Christopher Roos, with the Ormond Beach Police Department says there are no signs that the trio was doing anything illegal. He added, “[Marcelle] is a member of the HOA and the HOA did actually change the pool hours. However, they hadn’t notified the homeowner’s association members yet or posted it. The video definitely shows him holding a handgun, and you can see where it looks like a round fires off into the ground and you can see the dust from the ground kicks up at the same time.” Thanks to surveillance video at the club house, police identified Marcelle as a suspect in the case. Footage also showed that the victims were unarmed and posed no threat to the man. Marcelle has been charged with three counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and firing a gun.
