Stop The Violence: Chicago Homicide Total So Far Exceeds 435 Record From Last Year

Posted on October 31, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Annual Chicago Homicide Total Surpasses 435 Record From Last Year The record number of killings and the outpouring of violence in Chicago over the summer and earlier in the year have brought the number of homicides for the year to more than 435. This disturbing total exceeds last year’s number and is expected to increase as there are still 2 months left in 2012. via The Grio With two months still left to go, Chicago has passed its 2011 total of 435 homicides in what is shaping up to be a brutally violent year. According to the Chicago Sun-Times, the death of Chicago Transit Authority driver Fitz Bariffe brought the count to 435 on Sunday. Three more killings the next day marked the first time since 2008 that the city’s homicide total hasn’t decreased from year to year. The high number of murders has brought attention to the city throughout much of this year, sparking discussions on violence and gun control. In an MTV interview last Friday, President Barack Obama said, “I live on the South Side of Chicago. Some of these murders are happening just a few blocks from where I live. I have friends whose family members have been killed.” We will continue to keep the people of Chicago in our prayers and hope that law enforcement is able to provide the Chi-town community with some peace in the coming months as the holidays approach.

‘Fifty Shades Of Grey’: Kim Kardashian Sneaks A Peek

‘My grandmother MJ read the first one and said she couldn’t put it down,” Khloe Kardashian tells MTV News. By Kara Warner Kim Kardashian & Khloe Kardashian Photo: MTV News With book-to-film adaptations being all the rage these days, people just can’t seem to stop talking about the latest hot-button page-turner and best-seller “Fifty Shades of Grey.” And with the big-screen version of the saucy, S&M-heavy tale on the way, we’re doing our best here at MTV News to keep abreast of the latest developments in casting , along with attempts to round up a list of celebrity fans. When we caught up with in-the-know reality TV superstars Kim and Khloe Kardashian recently, ahead of the premiere of the new season of “Keeping Up With the Kardashians,” we asked the sisters for their thoughts on the book and its rise to popularity within the pop-culture zeitgeist. Both ladies apparently have a lot of reading to do. “[I haven’t read it] but everyone talks about it,” Khloe said. “My grandmother MJ read the first one and said she couldn’t put it down. Now she’s on the second one. My grandmother!” Khloe added. “Sexy!” Kim also has yet to read the entire story, but admitted to letting her curiosity get the best of her during a recent plane ride that involved reading over a stranger’s shoulder. “There was someone reading it on their Kindle on the plane [in the seat] in front of me and they were a little older so the font was huge,” Kim recalled. “I was bored so I was like leaning forward and reading a full chapter.” “I heard it’s a great book,” Khloe chimed in. “It’s racy,” Kim said. “Grandmothers gotta live too,” Khloe said with a smile.

Justin Bieber: ‘I Can’t Not Dance Battle Usher’

Bieber’s mentor and dance-off foe will debut his new track ‘Twisted’ on ‘MTV First: Usher,’ airing tonight at 7:54 p.m. on MTV. By Jocelyn Vena, with reporting by Sway Calloway Justin Bieber Photo: Valery Hache/ AFP/ Getty Images Justin Bieber and his mentor, Usher , believe it or not, have engaged in a dance-off or two. While Bieber is certainly known for his ability to cut a rug, he noted that his pal has the smoother of the dance moves. “Dance-offs? We had one the other night. He did this little show in New York,” Bieber explained to MTV News earlier this month about facing off against Usher during his stint in the off-Broadway “Fuerza Bruta” in April . “Mid-show, he comes in the middle of the dance floor and does a dance battle with me. And I’m like ‘I’m too tired for this.’ He pulls out moves and I can’t not dance battle Usher. “So I go in there, do my whole thing,” he recalled. “I’m pretty sure I lost, but it’s all good.” When they aren’t battling it out on the dance floor, it seems Usher is offering up some sage advice to the 18-year-old singer. “He’s just given me the advice of ‘Always keep the people that were there in the beginning, keep them with you because those are the people that really care. They want to see you succeed,’ ” he said. “I think that’s probably pretty much the main thing he’s always told me.” Usher has even more to share about working with his superstar mentee. He will open up during “MTV First: Usher,” set to take place tonight at 7:54 p.m. ET on MTV. He will introduce exclusive footage from “Fuerza Bruta” and his new single, the Pharrell-produced “Twisted,” and will stick around for an interview with MTV News’ Sway Calloway to discuss it all, including his new June release, Looking 4 Myself , on MTV.com afterward. Fans can submit questions via MTV.com or Twitter @MTVNews with the hashtag #MTVFirst or #AskUsher. Don’t miss “MTV First: Usher” tonight at 7:54 p.m. ET on MTV, followed by an interview with the singer on MTV.com! Related Videos Get Ready For ‘MTV First: Usher’!

Dhimmitube: YouTube Freezes PMW for Showing ‘Palestinian’ Mufti’s Speech that Muslims’ destiny is to Kill Jews

Here is the original post:

Here is the video that got PMW suspended. I have often said, “Truth is the new hate speech.” And here it is. There is a concerted and deliberate effort by the left and their useful idiots to keep the people uninformed and/or misinformed. Your ability to deduce and make informed decisions based on objective reality is seriously impaired if you haven’t got the facts. That’s the point of media bias, obfuscation… Broadcasting platform : Vimeo Source : Atlas Shrugs Discovery Date : 16/01/2012 19:10 Number of articles : 2
