Source: mevans / Getty Nosy American Missionary Killed By Aboriginal Tribe In India Aye, don’t be going to other people’s country and try to tell them about some guy in some book that you like a lot, fam. They have their own thing and they ain’t buyin’ what you’re selling. Somebody should have told 27-year-old Alabama native John Allen Chau that before he took his happy a$$ over to India messing with folk. According to The Sun , Chau was illegally ferried to North Sentinel Island in the Indian Ocean and shot down with arrows by the aboriginal tribe called Sentinelese. The Sentinelese people have protected status by the government and are not to be contacted by the outside world. When they saw what appeared to be a white devil, they got their arch-and-point on with extreme prejudice. Here’s what a source said about Chau’s death: “He tried to reach the Sentinel island on November 14 but could not make it. Two days later he went well prepared. He left the dinghy midway and took a canoe all by himself to the island. “He was attacked by arrows but he continued walking. The fishermen saw the tribals tying a rope around his neck and dragging his body. “They were scared and fled but returned next morning to find his body on the sea shore.” Here’s what’s wild about this whole thing: as we mentioned, the Sentinelese are protected people so no murder case can be brought against the killers. Hell, the gov’t is trying to figure out how to at least retrieve Chau’s body from the island. Moral of the story in the words of Wild’n Out/85 South podcaster/comedian Karlous Miller, stop touching s#!t.
Omar Mateeen Visited Club Pulse Over 12 Times The nation is still recovering from the most deadly mass shooting in US history this evening as more details about the victims and the shooter emerge . As it turns out, Omar Mateen didn’t pick Club Pulse at random. In fact, he had personally patronized the club and interacted with its clientele heavily on over a dozen occasions… Via MailOnline : Omar Mateen, the gunman who murdered 49 people in a gay nightclub in Orlando early Sunday morning, was a regular at the club, patrons have said. Mateen, who was armed with an assault rifle and handgun, entered Pulse nightclub in Orlando and opened fire, killing and injuring dozens before a SWAT team knocked down a wall of the club and shot him. But that wasn’t the first time he’d been there, The Orlando Sentinel reported. One regular at the club said he’d seen Mateen, whose father claimed he was very homophobic, at least a dozen times there before the massacre. ‘Sometimes he would go over in the corner and sit and drink by himself,’ Ty Smith, who also uses the name Aries, told the Sentinel Monday. ‘Other times he would get so drunk he was loud and belligerent,’ he added. Remarks that Mateen drank heavily conflict with his apparently strict adherence to his Muslim faith, including regular worship at a mosque in his home town of Port St. Lucie – where he was quiet and kept to himself. Smith said he’d seen Mateen at Pulse ‘at least a dozen times’, joining three others who said they’d seen the shooter at the club before. ‘We didn’t really talk to him a lot, but I remember him saying things about his dad at times,’ Smith said. ‘He told us he had a wife and child.’ Mateen’s father, Seddique Mir Mateen, denied that the attack had anything to do with religion, and said his son had become enraged after seeing two men kissing in Miami months before. HMMM. So what exactly would someone who had such an intense problem with homosexuals be doing hitting up the gay club routinely for months on end…striking up conversations about his life with the openly homosexual men and women he “hates so much” in a nightclub setting???? Sounds like he had some seriously repressed feelings he didn’t know how to deal with that manifested themselves in hate…

This man is a hero. White Father Defends Black Teen Everyday there is a story about an unarmed black kid being harmed or killed in a racial dispute. Nice to hear this man stood up for this boy. According to Mail Online A heroic father-of-two who suffered fractured facial bones after he was brutally beaten for standing up for a bullied 14-year-old boy said he would do it again despite his extensive injuries. Wen Jones, a 43-year-old former Marine from Jupiter, Florida, was at the beach on May 19 when he saw Zion Wright being picked on by three older men. When he told them to back down, the trio – Cody Moore Roon, Tyler Dylan Carswell and Eric Michael Deiter, all 20 – allegedly attacked. The men have now been arrested. Mr Jones suffered a concussion and a fracture under his eye which needed surgery and he was left with stitches over his face. Still, he said he’d do the same again. ‘I’m not happy to have been injured pretty severely, but at the same time, I ask myself, would I do it again?’ he asked the Sun Sentinel. ‘You know, it was the right thing to do, so I probably would.’ Police reports note that the three men had been bullying Zion, an amateur competitve skateboarder, and his friends earlier that day. SMH. As well as kicking sand at him, his father, LeRoy Wright Jr., told the Sentinel that they used racial slurs against the boy, who is black. Police have not charged them with a hate crime. Later the same day, the men continued to harass the teenagers outside the restrooms and when Zion’s father arrived and saw them, he told them to leave. Instead, the men failed to back down and Jones walked past the scene and saw the trio troubling the father and his son. ‘I couldn’t stand there and watch this older guy and kid get beaten up,’ Jones said. So he approached them and told the men to calm down – but they then turned on him. ‘I got tangled up with one the biggest guys and he beat me in the back of the head until I was unconscious,’ he said. ‘When I came to, I was being beaten in the face.’ As police arrived on the scene, the three men ran away but witnesses helped track them down. Some also recorded the attack on their cell phones and have handed footage over to authorities. Thank God for people like him. Facebook/LinkedIn
If George McCovery keeps up the hard work, there’ll be no more “overweight thuggin” for him. Mccovery lost 25 pounds in just 20 days while locked up in Lake County, Florida. A 345-pound man jailed for driving with a suspended license was freed nine days early thanks to a Lake County, Fla., judge’s “lose-a-pound, gain-a-day” deal. George McCovery, 37, dropped 25 pounds in 20 days — a feat he credited to bland prison food and the judge’s weight-loss challenge. “She gave me a chance to prove myself, and I didn’t want to let her down,” he told the Orlando Sentinel. Judge Donna Miller, whose courtroom proceedings are replayed in the TV show “Lake Courts,” is famous for her unusual sentence deals. In her 17 years as a judge, Miller has ordered defendants to start jogging, take a dance class, tutor math and write Christmas cards, according to the Sentinel. “I do what I do to try to change the person in front of me,” she said, acknowledging that her self-improvement sentences won’t be doled out to everyone. “If the person needs jail, they get jail.” Miller said she would check McCovery’s weight after 20 days. And to her surprise, he had already shed 25 pounds. “It’s not easy to lose weight,” Miller told the Sentinel. “I thought he’d lose 5, maybe, 6 pounds — not 25.” McCovery, who takes medication for high blood pressure, said he wanted to lose weight during the trial. But it isn’t easy. Obesity treatments, such as bariatric surgery, are effective, but many people are reluctant to undergo such an invasive procedure. And a dearth of drugs approved to treat obesity leaves few options for extreme weight loss short of strict diets and intense exercise programs. But the benefits of weight loss are well worth the effort. According to an August 2011 report, if every obese person decreased his or her body mass index by just 1 percent (a loss of 2 pounds for a 200-pound adult), as many as 2.4 million diabetes cases, 1.7 million cases of heart disease and stroke and 127,000 cancer cases could be prevented. Although McCovery lost more than a pound a day, experts say slow and steady weight loss is the best way to shed the pounds for good. “There’s a lot that goes on between losing that first pound and losing that 100, 50 or even 20 pounds,” Lisa Cimperman, a registered dietitian at University Hospitals Case Medical Center, told ABC News. Aiming to lose 1 to 2 pounds per week can help you stay on track and power through the inevitable weight loss lulls. Along the way, McCovery was encouraged by his detention deputies, the Sentinel reported. “Studies have shown that support groups or just having someone else encouraging you will help make you successful,” said Lisa Cimperman. That encouragement and the promise of making it home in time for Thanksgiving was enough for McCovery, who earned a note of praise from Judger Miller on his release order that read, “Good job, Mr. McCovery!” This is a great story. We hope George continues to work at his weight loss now that he’s a free man cuz 345 lbs is no way to live! Source More On Bossip!

The Orlando Sentinel has discovered that a “watch list” of Orlando residents handed out at a recent town hall meeting by Rep. Tim Griffin (R-AR) likely originated in the office of Rep.

Project encourages young people to raise awareness of threats to human rights. By Gil Kaufman George Clooney Photo: Bryan Bedder/Getty Images Actor/activist George Clooney has been telling the world about the dire situation in the Sudan for years. And now, as the citizens of the northeast African nation line up for a crucial week-long vote that could determine whether the resource-rich Southern region will gain independence from the rest of the country, Clooney wants to make sure the world is keeping an eye on things. That’s why MTV and mtvU have teamed up with Clooney and the Satellite Sentinel Project , as well as Not on Our Watch, the Enough Project, Google, the United Nations UNITAR Operational Satellite Applications Programme (UNOSAT), the Harvard Humanitarian Initiative and Trellon, LLC to ask young people to help try to prevent an outbreak of civil war in the country by sending the message that “the world is watching.” “Satellite Sentinel Project welcomes MTV and its viewers — who have been standing up for years to end human rights crimes in Darfur and Southern Sudan — to our early warning system team,” said Clooney, the driving force behind the project. “Frankly, our team of policy wonks and super nerds could use an injection of MTV style.” Southern Sudan will begin the independence vote on Sunday (January 9), and experts have warned that the results could plunge the country back into civil war. Beginning on Friday (January 7), MTV and mtvU will promote the Satellite Sentinel Project across an array of on-air and online properties, encouraging young people to become peace monitors, inform their friends of the latest happenings in Sudan and be prepared to mobilize support should violence emerge. If you want to know more about how to get involved, check Sudan.mtvU.com for more calls to action. Clooney further explained the importance of the project on the Sentinel website, writing, “A new state is being born in Southern Sudan against a backdrop of decades of war between the South and North of Sudan. A peace deal in 2005 ended the latest round of open conflict, but the possibility of a return to war remains high as Southern Sudan prepares for independence. One of the biggest risks in this dangerous moment is that an incident on the highly armed border could lead to wider conflict. The government in Khartoum has armed militias in contested bordering regions, the government air force has bombed border areas, and both sides have massed military units and equipment along the hottest border spots. These areas have witnessed some of the most deadly conflict in the world since World War II. The former director of national intelligence says that Southern Sudan is the place in the world most likely to experience genocide. “We can’t allow another deadly war, and we surely cannot stand by in the face of a genocide threat. … With your support, we will swiftly call the world to witness and respond. We aim to provide an ever more effective early-warning system: better, faster visual evidence and on-the-ground reporting of human rights concerns to facilitate better, faster responses. This is why we have launched the Satellite Sentinel Project. There has never been a sustained effort to systematically monitor potential hot spots and threats to human security, in near real-time, with the aim of heading off humanitarian disaster and war crimes before they occur.” The last civil war, in 1983, lasted 20 years and claimed more than two million lives. The Sentinel project aims to create rapid response to any potential human rights concerns by combing satellite imagery analysis, field reports and crowd-sourced map data from Google Map Maker to prevent violence, and focuses world attention on Sudan. To become part of the open-source, early warning system for Sudan, young people can follow the Satellite Sentinel Project on Twitter @SudanSentinel. By doing this, they’ll get the latest updates and action alerts, and be ready to help put pressure on public officials to respond, if necessary. “We know the Millennial generation is fearless, and that they strongly believe in their power to affect change,” said Stephen Friedman, general manager of MTV. “We’re proud to act as a megaphone for the Satellite Sentinel Project’s efforts, amplifying their message to young people so they can join forces with the world to help maintain peace in Sudan during this potentially volatile moment in history.” For more information or ways to take action, please head to Sudan.mtvU.com or Satsentinel.org .
