The Internet Is Real Life: Milwaukee Teen Shot Dead After Facebook Feud Over Girl

14-Year-Old Killed In Milwaukee After Facebook Fight Over A Girl Can we PLEASE stop acting like the things that happen online don’t have real life consequences. The phrase “It’s just the internet” needs to be put to rest… Via Fox6 A 14-year-old boy is dead after a fight over a girl on Facebook led to a shooting near the intersection of N. Lake and E. Wyoming on Milwaukee’s east side. The shooting took place at approximately 10:30 p.m. Friday night, July 3rd. Milwaukee Police Chief Ed Flynn addressed the media and stated eight or nine shots were fired while officers were patrolling the U.S. Bank Fireworks on Milwaukee’s lakefront — just yards from the shooting. The 14-year-old boy was found pulseless after being shot in the head. Five officers in relay teams worked to save the boy. The officers were able to get a pulse back but the boy later died at Children’s Hospital. “Words can’t express our frustration,” said Chief Flynn in a news conference with reporters. “This is more than a crime wave, this is a social phenomenon.” Authorities say they do have leads in regards to the suspect who shot the boy — but no one is in custody at this time. R.I.P. to this young man, thoughts and prayers are with his family and loved ones. Image via Shutterstock

Family Feud: Widow Of Eric Garner Won’t Acknowledge Baby By Another Woman Who Is First In Line For Potential Settlement Scrilla

Rappers and athletes aren’t the only ones out here with break babies. Apparently NYPD chokehold victim Eric Garner also had a child outside of his marriage and his widow wants nothing to do with her. According to Daily Mail reports: She might be Eric Garner’s daughter, but she won’t be part of Garner’s family. The chokehold victim’s widow, Esaw Garner, acknowledged Friday that a 16-month-old girl named Legacy is her husband’s daughter with another woman — but said she wants nothing to do with the tot or her mother, Jewel Miller. “As far as her being accepted into our family, that’ll never happen,” Garner told the Daily News when asked about the baby. Eric Garner had been living with Miller for three years before his fatal encounter with Officer Daniel Pantaleo in Staten Island last July. The News reported Friday that a DNA test recently confirmed Miller’s assertion that Legacy is Garner’s daughter. That puts her in line for the largest share of any payout the Garner family gets from the city. “They knew she was his daughter but they didn’t want the public to know so they could keep up the image of the happily married husband and wife together which was the farthest thing from the truth,” Miller said Thursday. “I think it was a public relations thing.” “And Esaw is just money hungry,” she added. An angry Esaw Garner kept mostly tight-lipped Friday. “I know the truth. My kids know the truth,” she said. “We know that’s her baby and fine, that’s what she’s entitled to.” She declined further comment, saying her lawyer had advised her not to talk. Eric Garner had four biological children with Esaw, ranging in age from 15 to 25. The family’s lawyer, Jonathan Moore, is preparing a wrongful death suit against the police officers involved in Garner’s death. A notice of claim — the first step in filing a lawsuit against the city — filed last year listed Legacy as a potential beneficiary, in addition to Garner’s children with Esaw. The filing said the family would seek up to $75 million for Garner’s death. This is such a huge shame. We can understand Garner’s window’s feelings but at the same time — these women and their children are all mourning the same thing, it’s a shame they can’t come together over their loss.

People Ain’t Isht: White Couple Mimics Eric Garner’s Choking Death On Camera As Reporter Tries To Cover Protests

SMH!!! Racists are getting so bold these days… Couple Pokes Fun At Eric Garner Choking Death In Background Of Live Protest Report We’ve already been made very aware that Black lives don’t exactly matter to everyone — but mimicking and joking about homicide ON CAMERA is a new low. Via MailOnline : A couple in New York wandered into a reporter’s live shot from Wednesday night’s Rockefeller Center Christmas tree lighting then thought it would be funny to re-enact the final moments of Eric Garner’s life. The outrageous prank is made all the more shocking by the fact that WPIX reporter Allison Kaden was on the scene to report on the protest at the ceremony. As she described the night’s peaceful demonstration, a man in a suit and a woman noticed they were on camera. The man grabbed the woman around the neck and then, as it dawned on the woman what her friend was doing, she played along and put her hands up. They both then laughed and walked off camera. Kaden finished her segment non-the-wiser. The in-studio anchors didn’t seem to notice, either. However, the folks at Deadspin picked up on the sick joke and the angry comments were sure to follow. With good reason. Garner died following his altercation with police due, at least in part, to the chokehold put on him by Officer Daniel Pantaleo. They really think this isht is funny. We’d be interested to see what happens when and if someone outs their identities, social media accounts, companies of employment… Wonder how funny it would be to them then?
