We already know that, but should YOU be throwing those kind of stones Mr. Spitzer? Eliot Spitzer Says Anthony Weiner Is A Bad Husband For Having Wife On Campaign Trial Via NYDailyNews Even a man who repeatedly cheated on his wife with high-priced hookers thinks Anthony Weiner is a bad husband. As he campaigns for city controller, former Gov. Eliot Spitzer has been shaking hands at subway stops and visiting churches without his wife, Silda Wall, anywhere in sight. But Spitzer and his team claim her absence is only because the former Love Gov is interested in protecting her. “Regarding (Silda’s) appearances on the campaign trail, no husband would ask his wife and family to step into the media frenzy surrounding the campaign at this time,” Spitzer spokeswoman Lisa Linden said. That’s a clear shot at sext-happy Weiner, who on Tuesday balanced his teetering mayoral campaign directly on the shoulders of his wife, Huma Abedin. Abedin threw Weiner a lifeline Tuesday when she stepped forward at a news conference to tell the city’s voters that she has forgiven her scandal-scarred husband and therefore they could, too. Weiner’s candidacy is his first since he resigned from Congress in June 2011 for sending sexually explicit photos and messages and then lying about it. That certainly is a luxurious glass house that ol’ Eliot lives in… Images via AP Continue reading →
So sad… Long Beach Mother Shot Dead On Son’s 3rd Birthday Via CBS A 23-year-old mother was shot and killed Thursday in Long Beach as she dropped off her three-year-old son at the home of a relative, police said. Jazzmine Wash, of Long Beach, died at the scene of the crime in the 500 block of Walnut Avenue about 6:20 a.m., Long Beach police said. Authorities responded to a shots fired call and arrived to the scene to find the victim in the courtyard of the apartment complex where she had dropped off her child. “The police woke us up and I heard gunshots. Four or five gunshots,” a neighbor told CBS2/KCAL9′s Michele Gile. Wash had walked out of the apartment to get a diaper bag when residents in the area heard several shots fired, according to Sgt. Aaron Eaton. “She came outside of the apartment to gather a bag, what was described as a diaper bag, and was shot multiple times in her upper torso. The suspects fled the scene and the fire department came and unfortunately she was pronounced dead here at the scene,” he said. Police have not yet determined a motive for the shooting or whether the victim knew her killer, or killers. Neighbor Shawn Malloy said Wash was a single mother who had recently started working at Walmart in order to support her son. He said she planned to celebrate his third birthday later today. “She was affectionate with her son… very reserved. Good neighbor. Always said hello, friendly. A real nice person, you know, single mom. Struggling. Just started work. Today was the little boy’s birthday. It is really sad. We are heartbroken,” he said. We can’t imagine the pain Jazzmine’s family are feeling right now, our thoughts and prayers are with them. Image via Shutterstock Continue reading →
Lock her azz up. Woman Punches Baby To Death According to Mail Online A teenager freaked out after giving birth in her family’s tent and punched the newborn – who later died – because she did not want her family to know she was pregnant. Alyce Morales, 18, from Cicero, Illinois, was on a family camping trip when she told her parents she felt sick and was going to lie down in the tent. Though she knew she was pregnant, after she gave birth she panicked and punched the baby in the head with a closed fist. Her father walked into the tent to check on her soon after and called 911 when he saw the baby girl, who died the next day in hospital. Baby Marie Morales was born shortly after 11pm on July 22 at the Platte River Campground in Benzie County. The Traverse City Record Eagle reported the teen ‘made several admissions’ to state police that she caused the infant harm. ‘Alyce was asked if she felt her actions had caused all of the injuries to the baby,’ the court document states. ‘She responded that she did. Babies having babies…it’s a sad epidemic.
It’s a shame their lives were cut short. Teen Victim Of Alleged Cleveland Serial Killer Was ‘A Good Girl’ According to NBC News All three women whose bodies were found wrapped in trash bags in a dilapidated northeast Ohio neighborhood have been identified, families and authorities said. The last two victims were identified Tuesday. One of them was 18-year-old Shirellda Helen Terry, the teen’s grandmother told The Associated Press. Officials identified the other victim as Shetisha Sheeley, 28, of Cleveland. Their bodies were found last week along with that of another woman in a dilapidated East Cleveland neighborhood dotted with abandoned houses. Rosetta Terry said authorities notified the family Tuesday that her granddaughter was one of the victims. She said Shirellda was last seen July 10, leaving a Cleveland elementary school where she had a summer job. Rosetta Terry described her granddaughter a caring person who would frequently attend Bible study groups and called and texted her mother. “She was a good girl; she was a hugger,” said Rosetta Terry. “We used to tease her that we were gonna put her on a hug diet.” The county medical examiner’s office did not confirm Shirellda Terry’s identity, saying the family had asked for time to inform relatives. Earlier Tuesday, East Cleveland Mayor Gary Norton identified Sheeley as among the victims. The identification was made through fingerprints and information from the tattoos, which “permitted the comparison” that led to her identification, said Thomas Gilson, Cuyahoga County’s medical examiner. Gilson said his office hoped to release information on how the women died within a few days. Shetisha Sheeley was arrested June 30, 2012, on a charge of firing a weapon from a vehicle but the case was dismissed three months later. Her court-appointed attorney, Michael Nelson, said there were no witnesses who saw her firing the weapon. Nelson told The Associated Press that Sheeley came from a troubled family background and never got help posting her $1,000 bond, keeping her locked up while the case moved through the courts. “She lived on the edge,” said Nelson, who recalled her as unemployed, living in an apartment alone and vulnerable as she struggled to make a life. The first known victim was identified by police on Monday as Angela Deskins, 38, of Cleveland, whose body was found Saturday. Norton said in brief remarks that he realized on hearing her name that he knew her family and went to school with some of her relatives. The Deskins’ family supported Angela and provided a place for her to live, the mayor said. “She always had a place to rest her head, they always assured that she had money to live with,” Norton said. “And just when she trusted herself — she was a very trusting person — entrusted herself to someone who had the worst of intentions, then and only then did this fate befall her.” Michael Madison, 35, is in custody facing preliminary charges of aggravated murder and kidnapping in the slayings. He is a registered sex offender who served four years in prison beginning in 2002 for attempted forced sex and attempted possession of drugs. Madison was moved from the East Cleveland jail Tuesday to Cuyahoga County Jail. East Cleveland police responded to a call about a foul order on Friday and discovered a body in a garage. Within hours they identified Madison as a suspect and went to his mother’s house where he was arrested after a brief standoff. They found the additional bodies Saturday after their questioning of Madison led them to renew their search. Authorities searched again Sunday but called it off without finding additional bodies. They are in a better place now. Hope the bastard rots in jail. R.I.P
Bloody Body Falls From Airplane Traveling Over West Africa In a bizarre story near West Africa, a man says he watched as a black person’s body landed and was later found by police lying in blood after falling out of an airplane en route to the country’s capital. via Huffington Post Niger’s interior minister says a body fell from an Air France plane as it approached the West African country’s capital, Niamey, and was discovered lifeless in western suburb. Abdou Labo said a resident was standing just a few meters from where the body landed at around 5 a.m. Thursday. He said police arrived and found “the lifeless body of a black person, lying in blood.” He also said blood had been spotted on the left wing of the plane. Labo said the plane was coming from Burkina Faso’s capital, Ouagadougou, and was scheduled to continue to Paris. Officials were holding the plane in Niamey so crew members and passengers could be interviewed. Investigators in Ouagadougou are also looking into “the conditions in which the passengers boarded.” Sooooo either somebody pushed this person….or he jumped. Either way, something sounds shady. We’ll keep you posted if this story continues to develop…

What happened to filling out an application? . Man Sets Fire To Become A Firefighter According to The NY Daily News He just wanted to be a hero. But Joseph Michael Brannen’s plan to become a firefighter spectacularly backfired — after he was busted for allegedly setting a blaze and then trying to help put it out. Fire crews were called to East Hernando Branch Library in Brooksville, Florida, on July 6. On arrival they found the 18-year-old decked out in firefighter gear and ready for action. But with the flames soaring into the sky, they told the untrained wannabe to stay away from the area as it was too dangerous. After putting out the fire, which caused more than $500,000 worth of damage, they then started to suspect Brannen was behind the whole incident. The Sun-Sentinel reports that, during questioning, he confessed to the crime. He thought that by helping out, in gear that he bought on eBay, it would guarantee him a job in the service. Cops charged him with second-degree arson and he is currently being held at the Hernando County Jail on $3,000 bond. Melissa Mazelin, who lives close to the library, branded Brannen as “very stupid.” Meanwhile Kevin Carroll, Assistant Fire Chief for the Hernando County Fire Dept., said the fake fighter’s equipment, including his air tank, was probably out of date. “We’re not sure what he had in this bottle, if anything at all,” Carroll told BayNews9.com. “And if he had actually connected to it and there was not air in there, he could actually suffocate.” Everybody wants to be a hero in today’s attention-slorin’ world. SMH.

Lil Mo Tells Artists Not To Boycott Florida For Trayvon Martin Via CoCoa Fab reports: Lil’ Mo won’t be boycotting Florida for Trayvon Martin, as many of her fellow entertainers have done since the shocking verdict came down. The R&B Divas: L.A. star took to Twitter to explain her reasoning. “Ever since the verdict, a certain artist is boycotting the state of Florida. The fans don’t deserve to be deserted,” she posted. Artists like Stevie Wonder and Mary Mary have officially refused to play any gigs in states with “Stand Your Ground” laws in place.Lil’ Mo wants them and everyone else to reconsider the protest. She even took a jab at Stevie’s blindness to prove her point. “If the coin was right, would HIS staff accept or deny the gig? And if so how would he know? They could say it’s sumpter, sc or nah?” she wrote. “TBH some artists have staff that dedicate their LIFE to that artist so when that artists expires the TEAM outta work. Think abt it b4 u buck,” she tweeted. While she isn’t a fan of the protest, she does have other ideas for taking a stand. “I’m merely stating don’t boycott. “Do a benefit concert give the proceeds to the family,” she said. “My family normally vacations in FLORIDA july 22-aug 2, BUT, As of today we have reneged and will go to Another state instead.” So just to be clear, Mo is fine with boycotting vacations in Florida, just not performances that pay perfectly good money. Got it. Hit the flip to peep Mo’s tweets putting the artists on blast! Continue reading →
