What the hell ?!? NYPD Shoot At Unarmed Man Via Gawker reports: In a bizarre confrontation last night, NYPD officers shot two bystanders while trying to arrest a man who was blocking traffic just a block from Time Square. An unidentified 35-year-old man “was blocking traffic and appeared to be attempting to be hit by cars when a police officer on foot patrol attempted to take him into custody in the intersection,” according to police commissioner Ray Kelly. After he resisted arrest on West 42nd street and Eighth Avenue, the man allegedly pretended to point a gun at officers, who then fired on him. A 54-year-old woman, who was using a walker, was hit in the leg and rushed the Bellevue Hospital. A 35-year-old woman was shot in the buttocks and taken to Roosevelt Hospital. “The only thing the individual had on his person was a wallet which was recovered from his right rear pocket,” Commissioner Kelly told reporters. After stumbling around Eighth Avenue, the man, according to witnesses, pulled out his Metrocard and pointed it at officers like a gun. Witness Mike Favilla told the Daily News that the man appeared to be mentally ill. “He definitely looked like he was high on something or was mentally off. He couldn’t walk in a straight line. He was limping and jerking his legs around,” Favilla said. Youtube Continue reading →

Jesus Take The Wheel: Couple Who Hosted Self Help Show Commits Suicide By Suffocating Themselves With Plastic Bags

Posted on June 5, 2013 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

The irony of hosting a self help show and then offing yourselves. SMH. Couple Who Hosted Self Help Show Commits Suicide According to The NY Post They were the ones who needed help. A Brooklyn couple famous for hosting a self-help radio show committed suicide by suffocating themselves with plastic bags in Park Slope, police sources and witnesses said. Psychotherapist Lynne Rosen, 46, and her motivational speaker husband John Littig, 48 — who appeared on WBAI-FM’s “The Pursuit of Happiness” — were found dead in the living room of their President Street and Eighth Avenue apartment, sources said. On the monthly show, the couple offered callers advice on how to live a happier life, sometimes tossing in inspirational quotes from Albert Einstein and Eleanor Roosevelt. Neighbors living on the couple’s quiet brownstone-lined street called news of the double suicide sad — and painfully ironic. “Everyone is shocked… Everyone is wondering why,” said one neighbor. “That’s really distressing that they were life coaches, handing out advice to people,” she added. Another neighbor noted the couple, who had been together 20 years, was very private. “John was a very nice person. Lynne kept to herself… She was always putting on a lot of weight and taking it off,” the neighbor said. Littig was also a drummer who used the performance name “Jadex.” The pair was sometimes spotted on the tree-lined street walking their dog. At one point, on the radio show, Rosen encouraged her fans to fight depression with a positive attitude. “Push yourself when there’s nothing left to go on,” she said.”Remember, positivity is precious.” The couple was found dead on Monday morning. Something tells us there is more to this story. If they hosted a self help show, then it seems like they would able to work out their problems. Do you think they were killed and it was made to look like a suicide? Youtube
