SMH. What’s wrong with people? According to CBS New York , authorities aren’t sure if the victim knew his attacker: New York City police said a man was shoved in front of a subway train and killed on Thursday evening. Investigators were looking for a woman who is believed to have pushed the victim, who was struck by a Queens-bound 7 Train at the 40th Street-Lowery Street station. Police told reporters Thursday night that the female suspect was seen mumbling and talking to herself before sitting down on a wooden bench by herself. Authorities said the woman waited until the train came before approaching a man from behind and pushing him. Witnesses said the victim didn’t notice the suspect, who police said was a heavyset Hispanic woman. The unidentified woman was described as wearing a blue, white, and gray ski jacket and Nike sneakers. She fled down stairs following the push, police said. The incident happened around 8 p.m. A heavy police presence remained outside the subway station where the fatality occurred as authorities continued their investigation. The Metropolitan Transportation Authority said 7 Train service was being disrupted as a result of the incident. We hope all these random acts of violence cool down soon. Images via tumblr
A family finally gets justice three years later Florida Teenager Sentenced To 11-Years For Setting His Classmate On Fire A Florida teenager who was convicted of aggravated battery for setting his classmate on fire in 2009 was recently sentenced to 11 years in prison….even though he maintains that he is innocent. via CBS News A Florida teenager convicted of orchestrating a burning attack on a middle school classmate continued to insist on his innocence as he was sentenced to 11 years in prison Thursday. Circuit Judge Matthew Destry agreed with prosecutors that 18-year-old Matthew Bent was just as much to blame in the 2009 attack on Michael Brewer, who was soaked in alcohol and then set on fire. Brewer was 15 years old at the time. Bent was convicted of aggravated battery in June. Before he was sentenced, Bent turned and apologized to Brewer but said he was not the ringleader. “I didn’t intend for any of this to happen,” he said. “I didn’t tell nobody to do that.” Brewer survived by leaping into an apartment complex swimming pool, but suffered severe burns over two-thirds of his body. In court Thursday, he looked in good shape physically but family members said his skin grafts still cause pain and he suffers from frequent nightmares. Sounds like justice for this boy and his family was long overdue. Images via Shutterstock
This is so f**king sad… Via Philly The little boy was stuck on the word sad. Five-year-old Dashawn Harris had already endured hours of pain during his “home-schooling” phonics lesson, and with every mistake came another big-fisted punch or stinging lash from his mother’s boyfriend’s black leather belt. He was crying and bleeding, and his mother was doing nothing to stop it. Now he was having trouble sounding out the “a” in sad. Christian Patrick, 25, a convicted drug dealer, lived with Dashawn’s mother, Lashay Patterson, in her unkempt North Philadelphia apartment. Patrick, called “Dude” by Patterson, later told police he had wanted to try a new method of teaching during the Nov. 30 lesson. He was going to be nice and not holler so much, he said. But Dashawn was acting like he didn’t know anything, he said, and that made him mad. WTF?! “When he got the ‘a’ part, I told him to tell me the last part of sad, because I wanted him to say it correctly,” Patrick told police. “I told him if he didn’t tell me the letter that made the ‘d’ sound, he was going to get another beating. So he said the letter ‘w,’ and I told him he was wrong, and he just started saying every letter except the ‘d’ sound, so I beat him again.” That is how the final hours of Dashawn Harris’ life were described during a preliminary hearing Wednesday morning. Covered in bruises, Dashawn was already dead when Patterson and Patrick finally called an ambulance early Dec. 1. The couple tried raising the boy’s dropping body temperature by placing a hair drier against his stomach, removing it when Dashawn managed to moan in pain. They taped toilet paper over the burn. Patterson and Patrick initially told police that Dashawn fell off a bicycle before giving statements describing the months of pain they inflicted. We gotta warn you, this next part is enough to break your heart into a million pieces. Patrick, about 6 feet tall, weighing 230 pounds, said he warned Dashawn that if he did not finish his work, he would have to eat the previous night’s soup instead of pizza. He threatened to take away Christmas. “But that seemed not to faze him, either,” he told police. “I told him, if he kept acting like he didn’t want to do his work, I’m going to beat him.” He beat him with a belt, but Dashawn wouldn’t stand still, so he punched him in the chest “like five times.” When Dashawn got stuck on sad, he began punching him again. “His eyes went real low and he was sitting on the floor, and you could see him breathing, but he looked like he was passing out,” Patrick said. Both Lashay and Christian were charged with 1st degree murder, as they should be. Image via Philly.com
SMH Police Searching For Man Who Slapped Train Passenger With Feces-Filled Sock Police in the Chicago area are currently searching for a man who attacked a female train passenger and hit her in the face with a sock filled with fresh poop. via NBC News A woman riding the Chicago Transit Authority’s Blue Line in Oak Park told police she was last week attacked by another passenger wielding a sock filled with human feces. “He had a sock full of his poop on me,” the 21-year-old college student told the Pioneer Press. “It was everywhere; on my face, my hair, my clothes.” The victim, requesting anonymity, said she screamed and tried to follow her attacker, but he escaped up the Austin Boulevard exit and ran northbound on Austin. She expressed utter disgust and outrage. “It was like the biggest degradation I’ve ever [experienced]. I wish he had just hit me,” she said, because she thinks that would have been less traumatic. “The worst part is nobody had anything to wipe my face with,” she said. She managed to find some newspapers before paramedics arrived. The paramedics gave her towels and water. That is one ishtty situation. Image via Shutterstock
Wooooooow Government Declines To Press Criminal Charges Against HSBC Bank Following Admission Of Money Laundering To Drug Cartels Think the alleged U.S. “war on drugs” applies just as much to corrupt corporations that make millions as it does to everyday piff-puffers? Well, you might want to think again. A recent settlement to the tune of $1.9 million between the U.S. Assistant Attorney General and big ballin’ financial giant HSBC has more than a few fans of that ooooo-wee giving the government a mean side-eye. via Rolling Stone If you’ve ever been arrested on a drug charge, if you’ve ever spent even a day in jail for having a stem of marijuana in your pocket or “drug paraphernalia” in your gym bag, Assistant Attorney General and longtime Bill Clinton pal Lanny Breuer has a message for you: Bite me. Breuer this week signed off on a settlement deal with the British banking giant HSBC that is the ultimate insult to every ordinary person who’s ever had his life altered by a narcotics charge. Despite the fact that HSBC admitted to laundering billions of dollars for Colombian and Mexican drug cartels (among others) and violating a host of important banking laws (from the Bank Secrecy Act to the Trading With the Enemy Act), Breuer and his Justice Department elected not to pursue criminal prosecutions of the bank, opting instead for a “record” financial settlement of $1.9 billion, which as one analyst noted is about five weeks of income for the bank. The banks’ laundering transactions were so brazen that the NSA probably could have spotted them from space. Breuer admitted that drug dealers would sometimes come to HSBC’s Mexican branches and “deposit hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash, in a single day, into a single account, using boxes designed to fit the precise dimensions of the teller windows.” This is a shady azz situation if we’ve ever heard of it. People get popped and sent to drop the soap everyday for wayyyyy less than what this money-hungry company managed to pull off AND admit to….and they barely get a slap on the wrist?? That’s that isht we don’t like!
Ninja puh-lease ! Dr. Conrad Murray Wants To Be Released From Prison During Appeals Process According to TMZ reports : Dr. Conrad Murray wants out of the pokey immediately while he appeals his conviction … this according to court docs obtained by TMZ. Murray — who was found guilty of killing Michael Jackson — has been in jail since he was convicted 13 months ago. The Doc claims in the docs that he’s not a flight risk … partly because he has a small child who lives in L.A. Murray also says he doesn’t pose a danger to the community, and believes he was wrongly convicted. Dr. Murray has tried this before and was shut down, but he’s entitled to make his case for freedom once again. Man listen, you were convicted of killing the King of Pop. You’re probably safer in the whoscow as opposed to the street where a crazy Stan can get their hands on you. But hey, go ‘head and take your chances… R.I.P. Michael Jackson Image via WENN
SMH !!!!! Utah Boy Brings Gun To School Following Newtown Tragedy A 6th grade student brought an unloaded handgun to West Kearns Elementary School Monday. Via Fox 13 reports: The 11-year-old boy allegedly told other students his parents encouraged him to bring a gun to school for protection following the shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut on Friday. The boy reportedly pulled the gun, a .22-caliber pistol, out of his backpack during recess Monday morning. “At recess, he pointed a gun to my head and said he was going to kill me,” said Isabel Rios, one of the boy’s fellow 6th grade students. Granite School District officials say students didn’t notify teachers about the weapon until 3 p.m. “Once the teacher knew there was a weapon in the classroom, the student was apprehended in 30 to 45 seconds and immediately brought down to the office and the police were on site within five to 10 minutes,” said Granite School District Spokesman Ben Horsley. Granite School District sent a pre-recorded message via telephone to the parents of West Kearns Elementary students at 5:30 p.m. By then, some of those parents had already heard about the incident from their children. “There was no lockdown. No one was called. Nothing was done. And then we had to hear it from our kids,” said John Klaus, the father of a student at West Kearns Elementary. School administrators said they didn’t lock the school down because the gun was taken into possession quickly and they felt a lockdown would have scared the students. Jesus take the guns!!!!!
Adam Lanza learned to shoot with his mother, an avid gun collector. Adam Lanza Used Mother’s Gun For Newtown Murders Via RadarOnline reports: Now Nancy Lanza is dead, shot in the face by her 20-year-old son who used one of her own weapons to commit the murder, before heading off to Shady Hook Elementary School and slaughtering 26 more students and staff. “She said she would often go target shooting with her kids,” local business owner Dan Holmes told Reuters. He added that she once showed him a “high-end rifle” that she’d purchased. Nancy Lanza also has a son, Ryan, 24, from her marriage to Peter Lanza. Both Peter and Ryan have successful careers in the financial world. As RadarOnline.com has been reporting, Adam Lanza, who many sources have said was “troubled” or “disturbed,” shot his mother and then went to the school where she’d previously worked and killed 20 students and six staff before taking his own life. The weapons he took into the school were a Glock and a Sig Sauer, both semiautomatic hand guns, and a .223 Bushmaster, a military-style assault weapon. They were all legally purchased by and registered to Nancy Lanza, who reportedly owned at least two additional high power firearms. Connecticut State Police Lt. J. Paul Vance said authorities are now “investigating the history of each and every weapon” that Adam Lanza carried to the scene of the rampage. Words cannot express the hurt of those families who were affected. Do you think the shooter would have done this horrific murder massacre had his mother not shared her obsession of guns with him?
