Natasha McKenna’s Hands Were Cuffed & Legs Shackled During Tasing As officers argue that unarmed Natasha McKenna died from “excited delirium” more questions are being asked about what really happened to the Virginia woman who was fatally tased. McKenna who was 5’3 130 pounds and mentally ill, was handcuffed and shackled when she was shot four times with a stun gun in February. She also allegedly had a mask over her face and her last words were “You promised you wouldn’t hurt me,” as six officers left her permanently incapacitated for not bending her knees to be strapped into a chair. S…M…F…H… The Washington Post reports: IT’S BEEN more than three months since a mentally ill woman, Natasha McKenna, died after she was shot four times with a Taser stun gun by a guard in the Fairfax County jail. Since her death on Feb. 8, county officials have offered repeated assurances that a full investigation is underway, and that the facts surrounding the guards’ struggle with Ms. McKenna — which was recorded in full on video — will be laid bare. To date, however, it’s remarkable how little discernible progress authorities have made in providing an accounting of the circumstances leading to her death. A new report by Human Rights Watch — “Callous and Cruel: Use of Force against Inmates with Mental Disabilities in U.S. Jails and Prisons” — documents the routine brutality exercised by guards who are untrained and ill-equipped to deal with mentally ill people, who make up enormous proportions of jail and prison populations. Jail and prison staff use “force in the absence of any emergency, and without first making serious attempts to secure the inmate’s compliance through other means,” according to the report, which details cases similar to Ms. McKenna’s, which unfolded when she resisted the guards’ attempts to remove her from her cell. In Ms. McKenna’s case, she had already been fully restrained — her hands and feet shackled — when a guard, frustrated that she would not bend her knees to be strapped into a chair, shot her repeatedly with his Taser. Ms. McKenna was not physically imposing. At the time she was shocked, she posed no threat to the guards, nor was there any risk she could flee. Taser’s user manual warns several times that repeated use of the weapon against a subject “could increase the risk of death or serious injury.” Despite that, she was shot three times in the weapon’s “drive-stun” mode, which the manual says is “for pain compliance only.” And she was shot once with the weapon’s electrical prongs, designed to incapacitate a subject. Ms. McKenna was incapacitated — permanently. She never regained consciousness after the struggle in the jail on Feb. 3 and died five days later. This news is absolutely terrible. There’s no way Natasha “crazied herself” to death, this was FAR from an accident.

First of all – I can’t believe I’m writing this. My very own Bieber Experience. Ever since I became a belieber in April 2011 I’ve been longing for this moment. I’ve been coming on this site, reading everybody’s MBEs and always thinking “that should be me.” Today, it’s finally my turn. It just once again proves that Justin isn’t lying when he tells us that dreams come true. Never say never! I met Justin on April 23rd at the meet & greet in Stockholm, Sweden. It all started on December 18th last year when something very unexpected happened. Swedish Ticketmaster suddenly decided to release a whole bunch of new tickets without telling anybody. I found out in a Facebook group called “Swedish Beliebers”, because someone had discovered that there were tickets on sale and people were going crazy. I already had tickets for both concerts, so I wasn’t paying a lot of attention to it. I went for the meet & greet tickets and obviously I didn’t expect anything. I mean, the tickets had gone on sale like 20 minutes ago so I figured everything would be sold out. After trying a couple of times I suddenly found myself holding a VIP meet & greet experience ticket, and I freaked out. I couldn’t believe it. I decided to buy the meet & greet. It was just so unexpected that I got it, and feel free to laugh at me but it kinda felt like a sign. None of my parents were home so I called my dad on his cell and through the tears I told him that I had gotten a meet & greet ticket and that he needed to give me his credit card details so I could buy it. First he was a little unwilling, but as I promised to give him the money in cash as soon as he got home, and probably because he realized how much it would mean to me, he agreed to help me. FINALLY, the day of the meet & greet arrived. April 23rd, 2013. The day when I would meet Justin Drew Bieber – my inspiration, the boy that I had loved and supported for more than 2 years. It felt surreal. I got to the venue at around 4:30 and met up with my friends. They were already in line for the meet & greet. I was so nervous and when some people started to play Justin’s cover of “I’ll Be” from a cellphone, I couldn’t hold back the tears anymore. I just couldn’t believe my dream was about to come true in just a few hours. I would actually get to say something to Justin and hug him – the boy that I had fallen in love with two years ago when I watched him singing “One Less Lonely Girl” in that white outfit that made him look like an angel. While we were waiting a bunch of stuff happened. They were doing giveaways with a Believe tour necklace, a shoe that belonged to one of the dancers, Justin’s towel and some other things. We also got to meet a lot of people from the crew: Dan, Tay James, Kenny, Mike, Kaili, Elysandra, Deirdre and Luke. All of them were SO nice. After a long wait they were telling us to get in line for the meet & greet. It didn’t take long before I was first in line and got let in to the little room with drapes around it were the photos were taken. All I could see was Justin’s gorgeous face. Ugh he was so perfect. He looked like a doll – there wasn’t a single flaw in his face. He seemed tired and a little down though. I obviously couldn’t believe it was him. Even though I had been that close to him before (at the concerts) this was something completely different. He wasn’t in his shining stage clothes, singing and dancing in front of thousands of people. This time, it was just him. Right in front of me. Only when you experience it yourself you can truly understand what it’s like. When the other girl was done taking her photo I was kinda pushed by one of the guards towards Justin. I was in shock, obviously, but tried my best to act normal. I somehow managed to get the words, “Justin, I love you!” out of my mouth, and I probably repeated them several times just to make sure he heard me. This time I experienced it myself and it’s like I have a memory loss. Or more like a dream, I guess. I remember some details but most of it is just a blur. I told him I loved him and walked towards him with my arms open. I hugged him and he hugged me back, and it was so perfect and he was so warm and soft and he smelled so good. While hugging me he kinda spun me around so that I would be faced toward the camera. I couldn’t even see a lens, or a camera man, or anything, because everything was just kinda fuzzy, but I put a smile on my face and hoped for the best. After the picture was taken Justin said, “I love you too babe.” I didn’t even realize what he had just called me until afterwards, but I hugged him again and said, “Thank you for everything!” as the guards took me by my waist and pulled me away. Literally the second I stepped out of the meet & greet room I lost it and bursted into tears. I couldn’t believe I had just hugged my idol. At that moment I also realized that he had said that he loved me, and called me “babe.” I kept crying for several minutes and my friends were crying too. My meeting with Justin may have only lasted for about 5 seconds, but those were the best 5 seconds of my entire life. Even though I can hardly remember anything from it, the few things that I did take in are going to stay in my memory forever. His eyes when they met mine, the way he hugged me and held his arm around me when we took the picture, his voice when he told me he loved me too. It was the most amazing moment of my life. In case you’re reading this thinking you will never meet Justin – I just want to tell you that you WILL, someday. I promise! One way or another, you will meet him, and it’ll be just as amazing as you imagined it to be. Just NEVER SAY NEVER, and believe. It pays off. -Miranda (@AlwaysYouJustin) Visit link: First of all – I can’t believe I’m writing this. My very own…
My name is Miriam, I’m 15 years old and I’m from Germany. I never thought one day I’d be able to write my own Bieber experience but it’s happening right now. On April 3rd I went to Believe Tour in Frankfurt, Germany and I already started the countdown 10 days before the day of the concert. I got more excited day by day and on April 2nd I kinda had a mental breakdown because I realized I was going to see my idol. The boy I’ve been supporting from 2009. My world. My hero. My life. Justin Drew Bieber. I randomly decided to check my email in the morning on April 2nd when I received a congratulations message from Bieberfever! I quickly realized I was going to meet Justin the next day. I started crying, screaming and started to run through our house. I even went outside and screamed. I decided to take my best friend Chiara (@outoftownsmg) with me and immediately called her when I got the mail. She cried with me. On April 3rd, the day of concert, I took some medicine because I was shaking the whole time and couldn’t eat or drink anything. When we arrived at the arena in Frankfurt I finally met Chiara for the first time and all my other friends from Twitter. It was amazing already. We finally got inside with the meet and greet line. I had already spotted Justin and started shaking and had to cover my mouth so I wouldn’t scream or cry. Then it was time to meet him! We went in the room and there he was. He looks like a doll but just so perfect. I stood in front of him and forgot everything around me. I didn’t see the bodyguards, the cameras, the other people inside the room. It was just Justin and me. I didn’t cry which made me proud because I didn’t want to cry in front of him. I looked at him and wanted to hug him but we weren’t allowed to so I held my hand to him and he took my hand and when I said, “Oh my God I love you so much,” he looked directly into my eyes, smiled and said, “Aw you’re so cute. I love you too.” I still can’t get over the fact that I held onto his arm and touched his muscles. We left and as soon as we went out of the room I started crying like never before. I was in complete shock and realized I really met my idol. My dad photoshopped my picture with him because I should’ve been standing next to him but another girl in my group of six was. I’m more than thankful for that day and I want to thank the Bieberfever team for making my dream come true. Justin if you’re reading this, I want to thank you for always helping me to pull through everything and to stay strong. Thank you. I love you.

I wanted to tell you about my Bieber experience because I want to share it with people who actually care about the MEETING and not only the PHOTO, and I know that Beliebers do. It all started when Mona (@ JDBswaggy ) asked me if I was going to one of the three concerts that Justin was going to do in Norway. I was not planning on going because no one wanted to come with me and I was not allowed to travel all the way to Oslo by myself. Mona asked me if I wanted to go with her for the first show, on April 16th! I had to pay twice as much as the original price for the ticket, but I didn’t care, because I had waited for this moment since the signing-campaign to get Justin to Norway in 2010. On April 16th I woke up 4:30 a.m., ready to travel to Oslo! Suddenly Mona called, and she screamed in the phone. I couldn’t understand what she was saying and at first I honestly thought she was just very excited for the concert. When I realized what she said, I couldn’t speak. She had won Bieberfever’s contest, she won 2 MEET AND GREETS FOR THE SAME DAY, AND SHE WAS BRINGING ME! My heart was bouncing so hard and the tears slipped. When I was telling my mom I couldn’t speak, I just stood there and smiled big time. Okay, so when we got in line for the M&G’s they brought us in this VIP room where they had separated the ones that bought the M&G (they got individual photos with Justin) and the ones that won it (we had to take pictures in groups of 6). They gave us some general information about the meeting and there were two TV-screens with the video of Justin doing the free concert in Norway from 2012. Suddenly they told us that they had a surprise for us, but everyone had to stay down on our seats. When we were ready, we saw a man appearing in the room, and guess what, it was Dan Kanter! Everyone started to scream and some cried. Dan was so nice and he took time to hug and take pictures with all of us. When it finally was my turn, I hugged him (he smelled amazing), and we took a picture together. Yeah, I was so starstruck that I couldn’t say anything. Suddenly it was time to get in line for the M&G and we were so excited and scared. The guards kept telling us, “Walk in nice and easy, okay? You ready?” Suddenly the curtains was removed. As we got in there all I saw was my idol in real life. He was moving, he was breathing, he was standing right in front of us. It was so crazy! The guards placed us at his side, Mona was standing right beside him, and I was standing at her side. The best thing was that my arm was long enough to be placed on Justin’s back! When the picture was taken, everyone wanted to hug him, but the guards protected him and dragged us away from him. We all tried to get his attention, I shouted, “Good luck!!” to him (yep, very cute, I know) but it all went so fast that I don’t remember if he answered me. Mona got a wave and a smile from him! When we got out they had to cut off our wristbands and I tried not to cry because I didn’t want to flip out in front of the guards. I saw my group coming out of there and cried their hearts out, while I was just laughing. It was too crazy to me, and I couldn’t understand that it actually happened. When we got outside it was raining and people had already started to get in to the concert-arena. Then I started crying, because everything was just too emotional to me. I couldn’t believe that I just had met the one and only Justin Drew Bieber. It was so unreal. After the meeting we went to his concert, and it was just amazing! April 16th 2013 was the best day of my life, and I will never ever forget that day. I can’t explain how thankful I am to Mona that she brought me, I just can’t thank her enough for this. The next day I actually saw DJ Tay James and some of Justin’s dancers too! -@IdaHoie Go here to read the rest: I wanted to tell you about my Bieber experience because I want…
What part of the game is that?! Correction Officers On Trial For Not Intervening In Suicide Attempt Via CBC The jury at the coroner’s inquest into the death of troubled teen Ashley Smith watched disturbing video Monday of her final moments in a cell at a southern Ontario correctional facility. The video shows guards watching as the 19-year-old choked to death with a piece of cloth tied around her neck as she lay face down in her cell at the Grand Valley Institute for Women in Kitchener in October 2007. At the time the video begins, recorded at 6:45 a.m., guards had been debating for about 10 minutes what to do about Smith, who had tied a ligature around her neck — something she’d done several times before. The guards had been told she was seeking attention, and not to intervene unless she stopped breathing. But on this occasion, Smith was wedged between the bed and the wall on the floor of her cell, face down, gasping for breath but not speaking. Another 10 minutes pass before the guards enter her cell and cut the cloth from around her neck, after which they leave the cell and continue to watch outside the door. Yeah, they were “only doing their jobs”, but damn it’s cold-blooded to sit there and watch someone die! Smith doesn’t move, and after a few more minutes the guards enter the cell and try to rouse her by slapping her on the back, without any response. The guards begin to perform CPR, though one of them is heard swearing that she hasn’t had any CPR training in 11 years. A nurse arrives and an ambulance is called as the guards continue to perform CPR, until the emergency workers arrive at 7:10 and take over. They work on Smith for another 30 minutes, then transfer her to a gurney, all the while continuing chest compressions. Smith is wheeled out of the prison to the hospital. The prison guard who recorded the video, Valentino Burnett, testified on Monday and came under fire for following orders not to intervene when Smith was choking. Burnett acknowledged under questioning that “in a perfect world” he would have entered the cell to save Smith. Burnett and three other prison employees were charged for their role in Smith’s death, but the charges were dropped. Says the guards lawyer: “They were following what they were told was in the best interests of Miss Smith and they were trying to help her as much as possible to prevent the tragedy, but unfortunately, they weren’t allowed to prevent that tragedy as they saw fit.” The Smith’s lawyer ain’t goin’ for it: “(Ashley) was left to die by the correctional system, by our utter failures to meet the needs of the mentally ill.” What would you have done in the guards situation? Follow orders, or save a young girl’s life? Image via YouTube
Here are a couple of useless nobody sluts protesting the bear fur used in the UK on their guards, unless you cosider the former “Lara Croft” model Lucy Clarkson and her sidekick Victoria Eisermann, useful….which I guess they kind of are, you know trying to make a difference by getting body painted to stir up some noise and hopefully make a difference, but after staring at these pictures the last 15 minuts, I realized they are wearing some nipple covers and they aren’t flashing their asses, so they might as well be wearing fucking clothes….fucking losers aren’t protesting shit…they are just tryign to get more attention to their whore-selves….I figure if you’re going to try to make a difference, you gotta step up you fucking game and no half ass it…or in this case no ass and no nipple it….cunts….
