Read more:

I t’s been nearly a year since the tragic mass shooting at a Nashville-based Waffle House occurred and the man who intervened and saved the lives of many individuals at the restaurant on that frightful day is still being honored for his heroic efforts. Tennessee native James Shaw Jr. was recognized at the National Crime Victims’ Service Awards on Friday, the Tennessean reported. The U.S. Justice Department presented James Shaw Jr. the special Courage Award during the annual National Crime Victims' Service Awards ceremony in Washington, D.C. on Friday. https://t.co/tfLLUItqhZ — WSMV News4 Nashville (@WSMV) April 12, 2019 The ceremony—which took place in Washington, D.C.—honored individuals and organizations who have displayed their dedication to providing support for victims of traumatic experiences. Survivors who have utilized their own journeys to empower others were also celebrated at the ceremony. Shaw was given the Special Courage Award. While Shaw was dining at the Waffle House on April 22, 2018 a gunman opened fire on restaurant patrons. Shaw sprung into action and fought the gunman in an effort to get the weapon out of his hands and prevent him from shooting other people inside of the restaurant. Shaw was able to successfully disarm the gunman; a heroic action that saved lives. Four people were murdered and four others, including Shaw, were injured. In the aftermath of the shooting, Shaw launched a GoFundMe campaign to raise money for the families of the deceased. Leaders wanted to honor him not only for his heroism during the incident, but his dedication to helping the loved ones of those lost heal. “Risking his own life, Mr. Shaw acted swiftly and bravely after a gunman killed four people early one morning at a diner, saving the lives of many others. He then followed up his courageous action by delivering comfort and aid to wounded and traumatized victims,” Attorney General William P. Barr said in a statement, according to the news outlet. “None of us knows how we would react in such a dangerous situation, but we can all be inspired by Mr. Shaw’s selflessness.” Shaw has received awards and honors from educational institutions, organizations, and individuals. Tennessee State University has set up a scholarship fund in his name, BET gave him a Humanitarian Award, and he was honored with a Gold Vail Award by AT&T Chief Executive Officer Randall L. Stephenson . He also was recognized by Steve Harvey and Ellen DeGeneres .

Jesus Take The Wheel: Mother, Teen Daughter Charged In Deaths Of Five “Strangled” & “Asphyxiated” Family Members

Source: BUCKS COUNTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY’S OFFICE / Mugshot How tragic! In what police originally thought was a mass suicide plot, they’ve slapped a mother and her teen daughter with murder charges. According to NY Daily News , a medical examiner’s report found that four of the victims, including two 9-year-old twins, died of asphyxiation while another died of strangulation. The bodies of the five family members were discovered Feb. 25 in an apartment in Morrisville, Pennsylvania. Shana S. Decree, 45, and her daughter Dominique Decree, 19, were charged with five counts each of homicide and one count of conspiracy in the deaths of Shana Decree’s children, Naa’Irah Smith, 25, and Damon Decree Jr., 13 of Morrisville; Shana Decree’s sister, Jamilla Campbell, 42, of Trenton; and Campbell’s 9-year-old twin daughters, Imani and Erika Allen. Family members told a local news station that some type of religious cult might have played a role, but police have not released any other details of their investigation. The two suspects are scheduled to appear in court April 25 for a preliminary hearing.

UPDATE: A former Pennsylvania pediatrician has been sentenced to at least 79 years in prison for sexually assaulting 31 children, most of them patients. https://t.co/xLJk7us1cX — NBC10 Philadelphia (@NBCPhiladelphia) March 18, 2019 Jesus take the wheel… Doctor Johnnie Barto Sentenced For Sexually Assaulting Children A Pennsylvania doctor convicted of sexually assaulting children will luckily never see the light of day again. Dr. Johnnie Barto of Johnstown was sentenced Monday on dozens of counts, including aggravated indecent assault and child endangerment reports NBC Philadelphia. Prosecutors say the 71-year-old abused 31 children, mostly patients in his exam room at his pediatric practice and at local hospitals. They allege that he was up to his slimy actions for DECADES and he left children terrified of doctor visits. His estranged wife Linda Barto was one of 19 people who testified against him. She says he “spent his whole sinister life lying and sneaking around so he could carry on his abuse uninterrupted.” One of his victims testified about being assaulted by Barto when she was 12 in the 90s. “He just stuck his hand down my pants, digitally penetrated me, and he moaned,” she said. “The sound of that moan will never leave me.” Prosecutors say his victims were girls and boys mostly between the ages of 8 and 12 but add that his youngest victims were a toddler and two-week-old infant. SMH, so sick and so sad. Good riddance to this guy!

Kat Von D: I PROMISE I’m Not a Nazi and I’m Probably Not an Anti-Vaxxer!

Back in January, fans were alarmed when Kat Von D announced that her baby would be unvaccinated . Yikes . Accusations that she is an anti-vaxxer only added to her problems, as for years, rumors have abounded that she is, well, a Nazi. In an emotional video, Kat Von D sits down to explain to fans how those rumors began and to unequivocally state that she's nothing of the sort. “As a lot of you know,” Kat says at the beginning of the video. “I have been getting a ton of hate over two different controversial topics.” “Both of which are pretty hard for me to talk about,” she admits. “But I just really want to try my best to clear the air.” “Just to set the record straight from the beginning,” Kat affirms. “I just want to say that I am not anti-Semitic and I am not an anti-vaxxer” We live in a time when some will balk at rejecting either label. If you've ever seen some dirtbag YouTuber say “well, define Nazi” when confronted on Twitter, you know that Kat is already doing pretty well. We know how she got labeled as an anti-vaxxer. But how did folks decide that she's a Nazi? “Out of every comment I’ve gotten, the ones that are calling me and family Nazis,” Kat says. “Those are the ones that really just don’t sit well for me.” “If anything,” she says. “They’re extremely offensive and super hurtful.” Kat, having already affirmed that she is not a Nazi, notes that she and her family are Mexican by birth. Her mother even has dark skin, she notes. She explains that the Nazi rumors began with a doctored photo created by a jealous coworker. Kat Von D says that one of her co-stars on Miami Ink was very insecure about her popularity on the show. She says that she was hazed on set, and that she was also sexually harassed and groped by this jealous male castmate. Kat planned to leave the show after an incident in which she was groped and none of the witnesses, who were castmates, responded. She says that the jealous castmate, who had tried to blackmail the network into canceling her show, had doctored a photo of her to make it look Nazi-esque. When she got her own show, she says, he went to media outlets and pushed this false narrative. “Overnight,” Kat laments. “I was just falsely branded as an anti-Semite and I had no idea how to handle it or what to do.” “I am not an anti-vaxxer,” Kat clarifies, addressing the more recent controversy. “What I am is a first-time mother,” she says. “I’m one of those moms that reads everything.” Kat explains: “I mean I read everything from ingredients in foods to cleaning supplies to medicines.” “Basically anything that is going in my baby or on my baby,” she says. “I research like a complete and total nerd.” Sometimes, when people without medical degrees or a keen grasp of biochemistry look at ingredients on life-saving medicines, they get needlessly alarmed. “So back when I was pregnant, somebody asked me on Instagram if we were vaccinating our baby,” Kat details. “And after doing a bunch of research and reading the ingredients, naturally I experienced some hesitancy,” she admits. “If I would have known that I would have let so many people down with that,” she shares. “I would have never, ever shared where we were at with it at that time.” Note that she sounds sorry for speaking out, not sorry for her scientifically unsound conclusion back in January. But, you know, this is at least progress. “Since then, we have decided as parents to consult with our pediatrician and just let him educate us and guide us,” Kat promises fans. “But, unlike before,” she says. “I have learned my lesson and I am choosing not to make our decision public.” While any pediatrician who isn't a total quack would advise Kat to get her baby fully vaccinated, she doesn't really promise that. It does sound like she's genuinely sorry that fans were upset. But when a parent declines to vaccinate, fans are not the victims — the child, and perhaps countless others, are put at risk. We hope that Kat will understand the vital importance of vaccinations for protecting the child in question and those who truly cannot be vaccinated. You can view the entirety of Kat Von D's YouTube video here . It is very moving. For the record, there were other reasons for which Kat was accused of being a Nazi. Her ex-boyfriend, Jesse James, has appeared in some extremely questionable photos alongside Nazi imagery. She also once gave a makeup product an extremely unfortunate name. We hope that it was just an oversight. For what it's worth, we don't believe that Kat Von D is a Nazi. As for vaccinations, we can only say that we are very confident that she does not want to be labeled as an anti-vaxxer.

Paris Jackson: Family "Fears She Has Relapsed," Source Claims

In the weeks since Leaving Neverland debuted on HBO, it seems not a day has gone by witbout a new report about Paris Jackson’s alleged “meltdown.” The film, as you likely know, contains shocking new information about the child molestation allegations against Paris’ father, michael Jackson. Insiders say Paris does not believe the accusers , and though she has refused to watch the documentary, she remains convinced of her father’s innocence and deeply distraught about the latest threat to his legacy. Obviously, no one wants to hear such appalling allegations about someone they hold dear, but Paris’ decision to treat the situation as a joke has not sat well with many, including some former fans. Sources say Paris is concerned that Neverland might derail her career . But ironically, it’s her reaction to the documentary — and not the film itself — that’s generating the most negative coverage. But regardless of one’s opinion of her handling of the situation, we can all agrree that if there’s any accuracy to latest rumors about Paris’ mental state then the 20-year-old is in desperate need of some compassion and assistance. First, Paris smoked pot in an Instagram video , despite the fact that she’s fresh from rehab and is a member of AA (an organization that strongly discourages the use of any mind-altering substances). Shortly thereafter, Paris was spotted drinking heavily and arguing with her boyfriend during a night out in New Orleans. Now, a new report from Radar Online indicates that Paris’ family is deeply concerned that she’s fallen back into her old ways. “Everyone fears that she has relapsed, and it is a dangerous situation,” one insider tells the site. The situation has reportedly become so dire that the rest of the family is refusing to update Paris’ grandmother, Katherine Jackson, for fear the situation will exacerbate the matriarch’s existing health issues. “The whole family fears that Paris is not okay,” says the source.  “They are doing their best to shield Katherine from her because they do not want this to send her to her grave.” The insider adds: “Paris’ grandmother is super-stressed over behavior.” The source claims that Paris has been “out of control” in recent weeks, but the model and aspiring singer insists that there’s no cause for concern. “Paris says she is fine,” the informant says. “She’s making excuses,” he adds. Here’s hoping Paris is able to find whatever kind of help she needs during this difficult time. View Slideshow: Leaving Neverland: Michael Jackson Victims Reveal Sickening New Allegations

Paris Jackson Spotted Drinking Heavily, Fighting With Boyfriend Amid Leaving Neverland Crisis

It’s been two weeks since Leaving Neverland premiered on HBO. The documentary detailing the child molestation allegations against Michael Jackson has been compared to a ” public lynching ” by the late pop star’s family. However, for many viewers, the film left little doubt about Jackson’s guilt. And since the crimes he’s been accused of are truly monstrous, the fallout from the evidence presented in Neverland has been appropriately swift and harsh. Of course, many in Jackson’s inner circle are concened not only with protecting the singer’s lucrative estate, but also his legacy. Chief among these defenders is Michael’s only daughter, Paris Jackson. Paris does not believe her father’s accusers , and she’s repeatedly laughed off their allegations in ways that many have found deeply offensive. But as much as she might pretend to be unbothered by the situation on social media, there have been indications that this growing scandal is beginning to take a toll on the aspiring model. Insiders say Paris is concerned that the allegations will derail her career , and she’s never once considered the possibility that her father might be guilty. Neverland has forced her to confront some very uncomfortable facts, and the process has reportedly caused her to fall back into some bad habits. Paris’ drug use has created significant problems in the past, and the 20-year-old checked into rehab just prior to the film’s debut. Now, however, Paris is out of treatment, and already back to partying. Radar Online has attained photos of what appears to be Paris drinking and clubbing with friends on Tuesday night. “Her eyes were wide and she was fidgety,” says one onlooker. “She was drinking lots and was with a big group of people,” the witness adds. Paris’ boyfriend, Gabriel Glenn , was also on hand, and the witness says the two of them got into a heated altercation that “nearly turned physical.” One insider says Paris’ family is deeply concerned about her health and well-being. “If things continue like this, Paris will end up back in rehab or — even worse — dead,” a source tells Radar. Here’s hoping Paris is able to sort herself out before the consequences become anymore dire. Her family has experienced enough tragedy for several lifetimes.
