Man Not Charged After Threatening Black City Council President A raging racist has escaped charges after threatening a black LA City Council President reports LA Times . Wayne Splinder submitted a hate-filled card during a public meeting with a burning cross and racial slurs aimed at Herb Wesson. The Los Angeles County district attorney’s office said the card submitted by Encino attorney Wayne Spindler, which labeled City Council President Herb Wesson with a racial slur, was “deeply offensive, morally wrong and socially reprehensible,” according to a memo released Thursday. The card submitted by Spindler on May 11 showed the burning cross and a man hanging from a tree — images typically associated with the Ku Klux Klan — and appeared to depict a KKK figure holding a sign that stated, “Herb = [N-word].” Wesson, who is African American, was presiding over the day’s committee meeting held in Van Nuys. Two days later, officers arrested Spindler, 46, on suspicion of making threats against Wesson. Community leaders denounced the drawings as a hate crime. And the city’s lawyers obtained a restraining order barring Spindler from coming near Wesson’s home, vehicle or city office, but allowing him to speak at public meetings. Welcome to justice in Trump’s AmeriKKKa!

Texas City Council Approves Measure To Rename Street After Sandra Bland Prairie View City Council has approved a measure to rename a major city street after Sandra Bland , the woman who was found dead in a Waller County Jail cell following her arrest last month. Via ABC 7 Chicago : Earlier Tuesday, hundreds of Prairie View A&M students, alumni, and friends marched at Prairie View A&M, pushing to get the street going into the university named “Sandra Bland Parkway.” Some of the participants were her sorority sisters with Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority Incorporated. Some went to school with her. Many never met her but her story touched them in some way or another. The walk started at the student union building at 4:27pm, the time Bland was pulled over on July 10 and subsequently arrested on University Boulevard. The walk ended about a mile and a half away at City Hall, where hours later council members agreed to rename the street. Authorities say the 28-year-old Bland hanged herself with a plastic bag three days after her arrest. But her case struck a nerve across the nation and in Prairie View. The majority of the people out marching on Tuesday said there are still a lot of unanswered questions surrounding Bland’s death. “If every time they pull over a student, they have to be reminded of what took place here, then that will help the relationship to be more respectful between the officers and the students,” protester Hannah Bonner said. Not everyone wants the street to be renamed. One woman told Eyewitness she believes what happened to Bland is tragic, but there are people who have done much more for the Prairie View community and who are much more deserving of such an honor than Bland. We will always remember Sandra Bland!

It’s been three months since Josh Duggar resigned from his post at the Family Research Council to move back to his home state in disgrace. The Duggars might be the most powerful family in Arkansas behind the Waltons, but public support for Josh and his family has dwindled rapidly in the past few months, and it seems it’s now reached the point where it’s difficult for Josh to show his face in public. In fact, Radar Online is reporting that Josh and wife Anna are currently hiding out in a small farmhouse in the Ozark Mountains. This is apparently a new development that took place in the last two days. Thus, we can conclude that it’s the result of Josh’s admission that he cheated on his wife , not the revelation that he molested his sisters. When the 27-year-old former lobbyist first returned to Tontitown, AR it seemed that he was welcomed back with open arms. Josh was often out on the town with his friends (while his wife stayed home and cared for the couple’s four kids), and it looked as though all was forgiven. So it’s unclear if this latest scandal was just the last straw for the folks of Tontitown, or if Josh and Anna retreated into the mountains to work on their marriage. Either way, it might be a good idea for them to stay there for a while. View Slideshow: Josh and Anna Duggar Photos: Through the Years

It is normal for cartoon characters to have archenemies. Jem and the Holograms had major beef with The Misfits. And Inspector Gadget was constantly batting Dr. Claw. But an unlikely cartoon rival erupted in real life in the middle of Times Square. They didn’t just push each other around either. Minnie Mouse and Hello Kitty ripped off their costume heads and had a full on brawl. Minnie Mouse and Hello Kitty were arrested on Thursday for fighting. The New York Daily News identified them as Sandra Mocha, 34, of Queens, and Giovanna Melendez, 40, of New Jersey. The report from the Daily News claimed they were fighting over hugs tips. Jake Rullman who caught the fight on camera posted pics to Twitter of Minnie without her mask and getting handcuffed. Both Minnie and Hello Kitty were changed with assault. But even worse, they have probably scarred every child for life who was in Times Square. Or as Gothamist stated, they probably ensured “a thickening of child therapists’ wallets nationwide.” Most of the costumed characters in NYC are not sanctioned by the city or any business. They are just people hoping to make a buck or two. According to The New York Times, the characters have been fighting with the city for the right to accept (and in come cases even demand) tips for photos. The New York City Council wants to get the characters fingerprinted before they start hugging little children and demanding money. They also want them to pay up to $170 for a two-year license to accept the tips. However, the battle between the characters and the city pales in comparison to the war between the characters for territory aka tourists’ money. In 2013, a New York Post reporter joined the team as an undercover Winnie the Pooh, and he did not receive a friendly welcome. New York Council member Peter Vallone said in 2013, “A dangerous character could be hiding in a cuddly character.” His response came after Elmo was arrested for attempting to extort $2 million from the Girl Scouts of the USA. In what might be the most famous cartoon case in Times Square, a man dressed a Spider-Man punched a cop. Most of the characters are honest folks just trying to make money. Yahoo News interviewed a number of the people working as cartoon characters in Times Square. An Elmo character aka Edwin Garcia said, “Most of us are just trying to make a living.” He dresses as Elmo to help support his wife and 7-month-old daughter.

Nicole Trunfio is an Australian model best known to many for sometimes taking off her clothes. And that’s exactly what Nicole Trunfio is doing on the cover of Elle… but for a very different reason than usual. The brunette beauty is trending on Facebook today because she’s breastfeeding her baby for all to see, as Trunfio becomes the latest famous female to stand up for this personal and parental cause. “There is nothing more powerful and beautiful than motherhood,” Trunfio wrote on her social media page along with this picture. “The last thing I want to do is be controversial, so please take this for what it is, let us #normalizebreastfeeding. there is nothing worse than a mother that is judged for feeding her hungry child in public.” Except mothers get judged for this act all the time. A breastfeeding ad campaign that depicted mothers forced to hide out in dirty bathrooms went viral last year and stirred up its own controversy. “I’m so proud of this cover and what it’s stands for,” Trunfio added. “I obviously don’t look like this or wear while I am breastfeeding but this stands for all women out there, whether you breastfeed or not, we gave birth, we are women, we are mothers. “Thank you to ELLE for being so bold and making such an encouraging, positive and healthy statement. #womenunite.” As you can see below, other celebrities who have fed their child in public in order to make a point include Alyssa Milano, Gisele and Jaime King: View Slideshow: Celebrity Breastfeeding Pictures
