According to WRAL.com , Lee Dingle was playing with his children in the ocean at Oak Island when a huge wave forced his head to the ground. His neck broke and his throat swelled, causing his brain to be deprived of oxygen. “A powerful wave at the beach, something totally unexpected,” said April Schweitzer, a family friend. “There was just too much swelling to do anything for him.” Damn. Dingle was 37 and left behind six kids. His wife, Shannon Dingle, wrote on Twitter: “Some heroes – including our kids – tried to save him, but it wouldn’t have mattered what they did. His body couldn’t recover from the initial injury. We met when I was 18 and he was 19, and we’ve been together ever since. I wasn’t supposed to be saying goodbye at 37. I don’t know how to be a grown up without him, but I’ll learn. I just wish I didn’t have to.” Some heroes – including our kids – tried to save him, but it wouldn’t have mattered what they did.

Source: Wachira Khurimon / EyeEm / Getty Louisiana Cop Posts Facebook Comment About AOC Getting Shot Amerikkka has always been racist as hell, but we had reached a point where racist and bigots knew it was socially unacceptable to live their truth out loud. However, in Trump’s Amerikkka, these soup cookies have been emboldened to let their hate flag fly. According to NOLA , a Gretna police officer in Louisiana, Charlie Rispoli, posted a Facebook comment calling AOC a “vile idiot” who “needs a round, and I don’t mean the kind she used to serve.” A hate crime-y play on words that references the Congresswoman’s bartending past and a bullet. Here’s what police chief Charlie Lawson had to say about his mans: “I will tell you this: This will not go unchecked,” Lawson said. “I’m not going to take this lightly and this will be dealt with on our end. It’s not something we want someone that’s affiliated with our department to make these types of statements. That’s not going to happen.” Lawson said he does not think the comment constitutes an actual threat, but it appears to violate the department’s social media policy, which he said all officers have read and signed. “Whether you agree or disagree with the message of these elected officials and how frustrated you may or may not get, this certainly is not the type of thing that a public servant should be posting,” he said. Source: Spencer Platt / Getty Here’s why this matters so much and why Trump’s racist rhetoric is so dangerous to the women of color that he’s targeted. Rispoli was replying to a “satire” FAKE NEWS STORY that quoted AOC saying “We pay soldiers too much”. The Snopes website marked this story “false” but it didn’t stop someone simple like officer Rispoli from believing it and taking action. See how this can go left? Please vote.
The mother of Cameron Boyce has spoken out for the first time since the shocking and sudden death of her famous son. As previously reported, the popular Disney Channel actor died this month at the very young age of 20. Having been diagnosed previously with epilepsy, Boyce suffered a seizure in his sleep and was pronounced dead at his home by paramedics who were called to the scene on July 7. This is what his family wrote in a statement after the tragedy occurred: It is with a profoundly heavy heart that we report that this morning we lost Cameron. He passed away in his sleep due to a seizure which was a result of an ongoing medical condition for which he was being treated. The world is now undoubtedly without one of its brightest lights, but his spirit will live on through the kindness and compassion of all who knew and loved him. We are utterly heartbroken and ask for privacy during this immensely difficult time as we grieve the loss of our precious son and brother. Boyce was best known for roles in Disney projects such as Descendants and Jessie. In the wake of his passing, many who worked with Cameron or knew him well within the entertainment industry shared their sad thoughts on social media. Adam Sandler, for example, penned a heartfelt tribute … while former First Lady Michelle Obama, who met Boyce at the White House because he was working on a service project, even honored the late star . But Libby Boyce had remained understandably silent about the death of her son. Until now. Along with the very first photo published in this article, Cameron’s mother wrote very simply and very sadly: “He is my compass.” As you can see, the uploaded a black-and-white photo of her and her son in which the loved ones are sharing a special moment together. Since Boyce’s passing, his family members have used various social media accounts to open up about their devastating loss. I’m overwhelmed with the love and support our family has received,” Victor Boyce wrote on Twitter earlier this month, adding: “It really does help to ease the pain of this nightmare I can’t wake up from. I can’t thank you guys enough.” More recently, the Descendants actor’s sister (and only sibling), Maya. talked about her brother’s death online in a heart-shattering tribute . “Yes, he died,” she wrote on Instagram, alongside a several snaps of her and her brother. And she continued as follows: “Yes, I’m sad. Cameron was my best friend. He is someone I will always idolize. His smile could light up a room, unlike anyone else’s. He was perfect. He always said that if you have a voice, you have the privilege of using that voice for change, and he did not take that idea lightly. “He understand his responsibility as someone so many kids would look up to.” Maya then concluded: Cameron always went out of his way to be giving and kind. He did more with his 20 years of life, than most people ever could with 100 years. He was actively charitable. He traveled the world. He made creativity and art his life’s mission and he encouraged others to do the same. Of course, I am devastated. I will be for the rest of my life. But what I’m holding onto, and what I encourage you to hold onto as well, is the memory of his endless optimism. Late last week, the Boyce family announced the creation of the Cameron Boyce Foundation. This organization seems to provide “young people artistic and creative outlets as alternatives to violence and negativity and uses resources and philanthropy to positive change in the world,” the website states, adding: “The Foundation was established in 2019 to honor Cameron’s legacy.” May Cameron Boyce rest in peace.

Tori Roloff has good taste in women. We’re not trying to be crass or inappropriate or anything of that nature here. The Little People, Big World star simply jumped on Instagram late last week and sort of revealed the celebrity on whom she has a total crush. And we could not agree with Tori’s take any more. Because, seriously, who out there does NOT think Kristen Bell is totally and completely amazing?!? The actress has been in the news often of late because she is starring in the Hulu revival of Veronica Mars. (She also helps anchor the funniest show on network television, NBC’s The Good Place.) But Tori didn’t gush publicly over Bell due to her portrayal of Mars or the way she banters with Ted Danson on The Good Place. Instead, Roloff gave Bell all the props for simply being a terrific mother (which, let’s face it, is the most important role anyone can ever play). As a caption to a video of her kids being asked how old they she is, Bell wrote the following on social media a couple days ago: “My kids are kind. I don’t care if they can’t do math. (For my #armcherries: #fastmath is overrated.)” Replied Tori to this take: “I love following you. I love how you love others and your family and you deal with life with humor. Thank you for being such a light in this world.” Allow us to chime in here real quickly with an AMEN . We’ve long admired Bell for being so candid about her life, her relationship and motherhood in general. She also once wrote this pretty awesome Donald Trump-relate Tweet . And if you’ve never seen the following video of Bell bawling her eyes out over meeting a sloth, well, stop everything you are doing right now and watch. Just trust us… Kristen Bell LOVES Sloths! Tori, who recently surprassed a million Instagram followers , has become known and widely respected for the way in which she interacts with other stars. She always comes across as especially sympathetic and relatable. In a recent/unfortunate instance, for example, Tori acknowledgde that Joy-Anna Duggar and Austin Forsyth had suffered a miscarriage after five months of pregnancy, writing to her fellow reality stars: “Austin and Joy my heart just absolutely breaks for you two. I am so sorry. You are in my prayers. How blessed she is that she gets to be with Jesus and she gets to call you two mom and dad.” So sad. But so sweet of Roloff, who has also been sharing a number of baby bump photos online. “One. Million. Followers,” Roloff wrote as a message last month after reaching the aforementioned number, adding at the time: “What in the world? You guys. This is honestly such an honor. It has been such a fun ride sharing just a little part of my life with all of you. The love and support I have felt from you guys on my journey has been overwhelming and wonderful.” She concluded: My goal here is to continue to make people laugh and show everyone I’m just a normal girl who got thrown into extraordinary circumstances and you better believe I’m not going to waste a damn moment. I feel like social media can sometimes be a scary place but I’ve tried to keep mine uplifting and fun and I hope you guys feel that. Thanks for joining me on this ride and being a part of my story. Even though- lets be real- y’all are here for Jackson. This is why we love Tori Roloff. View Slideshow: Tori and Zach Roloff: Secrets of the Little People, Big World Stars’ Private Lives
