After day 1 he’ll wish he were dead. Atlanta Serial Sexual Attacker Sentenced To 8 Life Sentences Plus 130 Years Via AJC A convicted DeKalb County serial rapist was sentenced to 375 years in prison. Gary Wendale Mincey, 36, won’t be eligible for parole and will die in prison for raping or attempting to rape five women during a six-week period in the fall of 2011. “These women’s lives have forever been changed by the heinous acts of a serial rapist,” said DeKalb County Chief Assistant District Attorney Nicole Marchand Golden. “We hope this guilty verdict and sentence will bring some form of relief to each one of our victims and (their) loved ones. There is a monster who no longer roams the streets of DeKalb County.” Last month, a DeKalb County jury found Mincey guilty of all 17 charges against him – rape, sodomy, sexual battery, false imprisonment and armed robbery. On Tuesday morning, a DeKalb County Superior Court judge handed Mincey the maximum possible sentence of eight life sentences, plus 135 years. Cases like this make us REALLY wish that the U.S. believed in cruel and unusual punishment. Image via WSB-TV
No country for Rick Ross and sexual assault lyrics ! Meek Mill Defends Rick Ross While Others Calls For Reebok To Fire Him Via TMZ reports: Reebok supports abusers by supporting Rick Ross … that’s the way a leading women’s group and scores of rape survivors see it. UltraViolet — a women’s rights group 400,000 strong — is incensed the company is not dumping Ross in the wake of his new song, which fantasizes about date rape. The song — “U.O.E.N.O.” — has a line, “Put Molly all in the champagne. She ain’t even know it. I took her home and I enjoy that. She ain’t even know it.” Molly is slang for Ecstasy. The group — along with 150 rape survivors — grouses, “Every single day that Reebok continues rewarding Rick Ross with a lucrative endorsement deal, Reebok is condoning rape.” We reached out to Reebok today, but we got crickets. As for Ross … he issued a lukewarm apology, saying the lyrics were misunderstood and he never used the word rape. Sometimes you don’t have to use the word, when the thought is clear. “Put Molly all in her champagne, she ain’t even know it/I took her home and I enjoyed that, she ain’t even know it” Hit the flip to see what label-mate and fellow struggle rapper Meek Mill had to say to defend Officer Ricky…

Sad news to report. According to CBS News: The Southern California church headed by popular evangelical Pastor Rick Warren says his 27-year-old son has committed suicide. Warren’s Saddleback Valley Community Church in Lake Forest, Calif., said in a statement to CBS News and other outlets Saturday that Matthew Warren had struggled with mental illness and deep depression. “Despite the best healthcare available, this was an illness that was never fully controlled and the emotional pain resulted in his decision to take his life,” the statement said. “We ask everyone to join us in praying for the entire Warren family,” the statement continued, “and that God’s comfort and peace will be with them as they deal with this difficult situation.” Warren, the author of “The Purpose Driven Life,” said in an email to church staff that he and his wife had enjoyed a fun Friday evening with their son. But Matthew Warren took his life Saturday after “a momentary wave of despair at his home.” Church spokeswoman Kristin Cole said he died Friday night. Over the years, Matthew Warren had been treated by Americas best doctors, had received counseling and medication and been the recipient of numerous prayers from others, his father said. Still, he struggled over the years. “I’ll never forget how, many years ago, after another approach had failed to give relief, Matthew said `Dad, I know I’m going to heaven. Why can’t I just die and end this pain?”‘ Warren recalled. Warren is the author of numerous books and was named the top newsmaker of the year for 2009 by the Religion Newswriters Association, gaining attention with his invocation at President Barack Obama’s inauguration that year. In 2008, the church sponsored a presidential forum with Obama and Republican Sen. John McCain. Obama and Republican nominee Mitt Romney had been invited to a similar forum last fall, but Warren canceled it, saying the campaign had become too uncivil. As Saddleback has grown over the years, it has spread out from its Lake Forest headquarters, 65 miles southeast of Los Angeles, adding several other campuses and ministries around Southern California. The church says it now offers more than 200 community ministries and support groups for parents, families, children, couples, prisoners, addicts, and people living with HIV, depression and other illnesses.

This broad is not going anywhere! Michael Jordan’s Ex Mistress Re-Files Paternity Suit Via TMZ reports: Michael Jordan ‘s alleged baby mama vows to continue her fight to prove the greatest NBA player of all time is in deed the father of her child … despite his legal attack on her. As we previously reported Pamela Smith abruptly dropped her paternity lawsuit without explanation and Jordan immediately lashed out … asking the judge to nail her with his attorneys’ fees as well as sanctions. Now Pamela’s getting specific … she did not drop the lawsuit because she’s waving the white flag — there was a technical legal problem with the docs and she plans on re-filing the paternity case STAT. Pamela’s technical legal problem is actually amusing … before filing her case against Jordan, she forgot one little thing — removing her ex-husband from the birth certificate which lists him as the daddy. The boy at the center of all this is 16-year-old Grant “Taj” Reynolds … an aspiring rapper. SMH!!!! At least he’ll have something to write about.

Another RHOA scandal … Kordell Stewart Accused Of Picking Up Gay Men Poor Porsha! Not only is the reality banger facing an epic divorce with her estranged husband former NFL baller Kordell Stewart , it looks like his once secret gay past is coming to bite him in the azz… and not in the good way he might like. Via Obnoxious TV reports: “A male usher at Philips Arena said that Kordell Stewart came on to him the last time he attended a Hawks game. According to the usher, who would like to remain nameless, Kordell asked him what was up and asked for his phone number so they could hook up sometime when he is not at work. The usher said he smiled and played off because he was very uncomfortable by what Kordell said and how he was looking at him, but he was at work and had to be cool.” Kordell has been dogged by down low rumors his entire football career and now with a mounting divorce, those rumors are only going to get louder. Do you think Kordell’s gay ways are one of the reasons he and Porsha couldn’t make it last forever??
Damn they’re dumb…smmfh More Than 60 Harlem Gangsters Arrested Over Twitter, Facebook, And YouTube Posts Via NYPost These alleged gang bangers love the social media — and so do the cops and prosecutors who busted them. East Harlem has been cleared of 63 dangerous gangsters who openly incriminated themselves in slang-filled, misspelled postings on Twitter, Facebook and YouTube, officials said today in announcing the takedown of three rival drug and gun rings. Some of the thugs even posted photos of themselves holding guns, officials said. “God forgives I don’t … somebody gotta die,” one alleged member of the gang “Air It Out,” posted on Facebook, according to the massive conspiracy indictments unsealed today. “I’m 2 Glocks strapped, rolling down 112th Madison, 116 this is the New Iraq,” boasted another alleged AIO member. “I’ll give u $300 if u clap a Trill or Whoadey before October,” another alleged Air It Out gangster promised, using the slang for shoot. The alleged members of “Air It Out,” “True Money Gang–” or “Trillas” and “Whoadey” — 18 of whom remain at large — have collectively notched three murders and some 30 shootings, officials said. The evidence against them — amassed by the Manhattan DA’s Violent Criminal Enterprise Unit, the NYPD’s Gang Division, and cops from the 23rd and 25th precincts and PSA5 — included dangerous surveillance and gun seizures conducted over the course of three years. According to the report, investigators even created a dictionary of slang terms that gang members used to communicate about criminal activities. A “2&5 train” is a .25 caliber gun, according to a two page glossary provided to reporters today. “Air it,” “dump on,” “pop a bottle” and “play the flute” all mean fire a gun, the list says. A gun itself can be a “biscuit, a “bitch,” a “blamer,” a “clickety,” a “drum set,” a “flocka,” a “girlfriend,” a “grip,” an “instrument,” a “ratchet,” “little piece of metal,” a “shorty,” a “speaker,” a “toy,” a “utensil,” and, more oddly, a “flamingo” or a “sandwich.” Cops are “boys,” money is “bread,” a pal is a “cro,” and bullets are “food,” “gas,” “sea shellz,” or “electricity.” Murder? That’s to “rock to sleep early,” the glossary says. “There is a lot of social networking and investigation using the Internet that all of us use now in law enforcement,” Manhattan DA Cyrus Vance said. “The Internet is our 21st Century crime scene.” These ninjas are BEYOND stupid, but we guess you can’t expect much common sense from criminals.
