Scared Passerby Calls Cops On Plies New Music Video Shoot Last thing we need these days is a “good samaritan” (see, white) armed with a gun… According to TMZ reports : Plies nearly got sprayed with a real shotgun on his music video set — but lucky for him, a 911 operator convinced an armed passerby to let cops handle what he wrongly thought was a hostage situation. We got the 911 call made by the guy who mistook Plies’ rap music video shoot for an armed standoff between a “white boy” and a bunch of black guys “with dreadlocks” and guns. You gotta hear the terrified caller yelling, “They gonna shoot this white boy!” … right before offering to intervene with his own loaded shotgun! As we reported … cops quickly responded and discovered the guns weren’t loaded, and the drama was all scripted. He was SO hype to go over there and use his shotgun! Can you imagine if he just took it upon himself to intervene without calling the cops?? SMH.
A gang of five assailants after a piece of jewelry beat a stranger with a baseball bat and stabbed him several times during an attack on a Bronx street, police said Monday.
Baltimore Teens Facing Attempted Murder Charges For Attack On Man And we wonder why they don’t love us. Kids like these make it that much harder for the good ones out there. According to NY Daily News reports : A throng of Maryland high schoolers savagely beat up a man after he tried to break up a teen-on-teen fight in front of his home, police said. Baltimore County police arrested five teens and charged them as adults for the April 22 attack on Richard Fletcher, the force announced Tuesday. Graphic cellphone video showed dozens of youths ganging up on the 61-year-old outside of his Dundalk home, police said. The five arrested teens, between the ages of 15 and 17, face attempted first-degree murder and assault, police said in a statement. Two more suspects — a 20-year-old man and an unidentified seventh arrestee — are in custody. Fletcher is still recovering from the brutal beating, which left him with two broken eye sockets, broken ribs, a brain bleed and other injuries, CBS Baltimore reported. Police said Fletcher spotted two girls standing on top of his car, arguing on April 22. When he asked them to get down and leave his property, the mob of teenagers pounded on him, officers said. Someone recorded the attack on a cellphone, and the footage showed the suspects slamming Fletcher to the pavement. Four of the five arrested teens face first-degree attempted murder and related charges: 15-year-old Andrew Omar Allen, 15-year-old Mya Lashae Stewart, 15-year-old Yahkeem Zavion Wheatley and 17-year-old Antoine Willie Lawson. A fifth teen, 17-year-old Samtoya Isiah Wiliams, has been charged with first-degree assault and second degree assault and robbery. Fletcher’s friends and neighbors set up a GoFundMe page to help pay for his medical expenses, which are estimated to total between $200,000 and $400,000. So far, the campaign has raised more than $37,000. Seriously though? Where the hell are these kids’ parents? Our prayers go out to that man. The misguided youth of today are bringing all kinds of problems on to the rest of us. These kids need Jesus .

Chris Brown’s Car Search For Guns Outside Pre-Grammy Party Trouble must have a GPS signal on Chris Breezy… According to TMZ reports : Chris Brown has cops on high alert these days … and an anonymous tip that the passenger in his car had a gun was enough for L.A.’s finest to spring into action. Law enforcement sources tell TMZ … the LAPD got a call from someone saying Chris’ passenger was carrying a gun. Chris was already inside Sayer nightclub in Hollywood, but the cops were able to coral the friend, detain him and search Chris’ Lambo. They found nothing. Chris was attending TI’s pre-Grammy party when it went down. Cops are well aware trouble sometimes finds him. You’ll recall he was performing at a VMA party at 1OAK last Summer when shots rang out and Suge Knight was hit 6 times. Last month 5 people were shot when Brown was performing in San Jose. On the bright side, Brown tweeted Friday he’s completed his community service in the Rihanna case. “Anonymous tip” sounds like cop-speak for “We know Chris Brown is around, let’s f*** with him.”.

We can’t believe the police unions are trying to point the finger for this senseless act on protestors… Since Saturday’s senseless killing, we’ve watched in horror as the right wingers have gone out of their way to blame protestors, Mayor deBlasio , Al Sharpton, Eric Holder and President Obama for the deaths of two New York City police officers. Fortunately six-time NBA champ Kareem Abdul-Jabbar has stepped up as one of the voices of reason and is doing his part to back those of us who are striving for positive change, chastising a police union boss and former governor George Pataki for their irresponsible responses to this weekend’s shooting. Check out pertinent excerpts from his TIME.com essay below: The recent brutal murder of two Brooklyn police officers, Rafael Ramos and Wenjian Liu, is a national tragedy that should inspire nationwide mourning. Both my grandfather and father were police officers, so I appreciate what a difficult and dangerous profession law enforcement is. We need to value and celebrate the many officers dedicated to protecting the public and nourishing our justice system. It’s a job most of us don’t have the courage to do. At the same time, however, we need to understand that their deaths are in no way related to the massive protests against systemic abuses of the justice system as symbolized by the recent deaths—also national tragedies—of Eric Garner, Akai Gurley, and Michael Brown. Ismaaiyl Brinsley, the suicidal killer, wasn’t an impassioned activist expressing political frustration, he was a troubled man who had shot his girlfriend earlier that same day. He even Instagrammed warnings of his violent intentions. None of this is the behavior of a sane man or rational activist. The protests are no more to blame for his actions than The Catcher in the Rye was for the murder of John Lennon or the movie Taxi Driver for the attempted assassination of Ronald Reagan. Crazy has its own twisted logic and it is in no way related to the rational cause-and-effect world the rest of us attempt to create. Those who are trying to connect the murders of the officers with the thousands of articulate and peaceful protestors across America are being deliberately misleading in a cynical and selfish effort to turn public sentiment against the protestors. This is the same strategy used when trying to lump in the violence and looting with the legitimate protestors, who have disavowed that behavior. They hope to misdirect public attention and emotion in order to stop the protests and the progressive changes that have already resulted. Shaming and blaming is a lot easier than addressing legitimate claims. He’s absolutely right, so it’s great that he is taking the time out to address the reality of the situation, which right now is that right wingers are only making the situation worse by trying to make this into something it absolutely isn’t: Some police unions are especially heinous perpetrators. New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio’s previous public support of protestors has created friction with these unions. The Patrolman’s Benevolent Association responded with a petition asking that the mayor not attend the funerals of officers killed in the line of duty. Following the murders of Ramos and Liu, an account appearing to represent the Sergeants Benevolent Association tweeted: “The blood of 2 executed police officers is on the hands of Mayor de Blasio.” Former New York governor George Pataki tweeted: “Sickened by these barbaric acts, which sadly are a predictable outcome of divisive anti-cop rhetoric of #ericholder and #mayordeblasio. #NYPD.” This phony and logically baffling indignation is similar to that expressed by the St. Louis County Police Association when it demanded an apology from the NFL when several Rams players entered the field with their hands held high in the iconic Michael Brown gesture of surrender. Or when LeBron James and W.R. Allen wore his “I Can’t Breathe” shirts echoing Eric Gardner’s final plea before dying. Such outrage by police unions and politicians implies that there is no problem, which is the erroneous perception that the protestors are trying to change. This shrill cry of “policism” (a form of reverse racism) by Pataki and the police unions is a hollow and false whine born of financial self-interest (unions) or party politics (Republican Pataki besmirching Democrat de Blasio) rather than social justice. These tragic murders now become a bargaining chip in whatever contract negotiations or political aspirations they have. It’s unfortunate but the good news is that Abdul-Jabbar and the protesters he’s defending haven’t lost sight of the real enemy: In a Dec. 21, 2014 article about the shooting, the Los Angeles Times referred to the New York City protests as “anti-police marches,” which is grossly inaccurate and illustrates the problem of perception the protestors are battling. The marches are meant to raise awareness of double standards, lack of adequate police candidate screening, and insufficient training that have resulted in unnecessary killings. Police are not under attack, institutionalized racism is. Trying to remove sexually abusive priests is not an attack on Catholicism, nor is removing ineffective teachers an attack on education. Bad apples, bad training, and bad officials who blindly protect them, are the enemy. And any institution worth saving should want to eliminate them, too. Bravo for this. We’re glad Kareem is the antithesis of Charles Barkley , a reasonable, articulate forward thinking individual. WENN
The adult industry isn’t the most safe and wholesome career path… Russian Adult Film Actress Breaks Both Legs Jumping From Window To Escape Men Who Held Her Captive This is TRULY scary though. According to Daily Mail reports : A Russian adult film star broke both her legs as she escaped two thugs who brutally raped and assaulted her after luring her to their flat with a business deal. The 22-year-old adult actress had entered the flat after being invited by the two men to discuss a possible new production, but was attacked and jumped out of a window to get away. The woman, who works under the nom de guerre Lola Taylor, was found bleeding and with torn clothes by a man walking his dog in Yasenovo, Moscow. ‘Lola Taylor’ had agreed to meet the men for an interview to talk about the film, but after she arrived, the men set upon her and proceeded to rape her in an ordeal that lasted several hours. She eventually managed to escape by jumping from the third floor balcony where she was found by stunned neighbor, Blasius Vinogradov, 54, walking his dog. The woman, who is a former librarian, was taken to the emergency room of a nearby hospital. A police spokesman said: ‘She was in a bad way and had been subjected to hours of rape and abuse prior to the fall. When we arrested the men they denied it until we found evidence of the crime across the apartment. They had tried clearing up the blood but had not yet disposed of her ripped clothing.’ The two men, Dmitry Kosenkov, 30 and Maksim Pilipenko, 33, have been arrested and face up to 30 years in jail. They were ordered to be detained for three months before the trial. This is super fawked up but thank God someone kindhearted found her and got her help right away. We wish her a speedy recovery and hope that she is able to overcome the traumatic experience. Instagram
Gee…you think horns and a 666 forehead tattoo might make people think he’s just a little untrustworthy? Murder Suspect With Horns And 666 Tattoo Thinks Jurors May Convict Based On Appearance We’re not ones for immediately judging books by their covers…but if it looks like duck and quacks like a duck, it just may have committed a gruesome triple-homicide and dismemberment. Via MailOnline : A Massachusetts lawyer is concerned that it will be difficult to find impartial jurors for an upcoming murder trial given his client’s unique appearance, namely, implanted horns and a satanic tattoo. Caius Veiovis, 33, is the third suspect to face trial in the August 2011 slayings of David Glasser, Edward Frampton and Robert Chadwell. Veiovis’ signature look includes two rows of bumps resembling horns protruding from his forehead, a ‘666’ tattoo between them, and other facial and neck tattoos. He also had surgically altered the shape of his ears to make them elf-like. After discussing the matter, a Hampden Superior Court judge on Thursday told defense lawyer James Reardon Jr. he would ask potential jurors if there was anything about the Veiovis’ appearance that would keep them from being fair. The trial is scheduled to start September 3. Veiovis has pleaded not guilty to counts of murder, kidnapping and witness intimidation. The heavily inked man is accused of helping David Chalue and Adam Lee Hall kidnap, torture, murder and dismember David Glasser, Edward Frampton and Robert Chadwell in Berkshire County on August 28, 2011. The victims’ mutilated remains were later found in a ditch in Becket, Masslive.com reported. According to investigators, the co-conspirators killed Glasser because he was expected to testify against Hall, a member of the Hell’s Angels biker gang, in an unrelated assault case. The two other men were murdered because they witnessed Glasser’s abduction. ‘There’s a serious factor of curiosity and concern when the jury first sees him,’ James Reardon Jr said in Hampden Superior Court. The lawyer then brought up the issue of his client’s appearance out of concern that jurors may find it challenging to be impartial because of the horns and tattoos. Yeah…fair trials, not prejudging and whatnot. But honestly, look at this man. Go directly to jail. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200.
