Source: Sandro Abitante / EyeEm / Getty Father Of Six Breaks His Neck After Getting Hit By Heavy Wave At The Beach A bizarre force of nature ended in tragedy for one North Carolina family who took a trip to the beach. 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.

F**k 12: Louisiana Cop Says “Vile Idiot” Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Should Be Shot On His Facebook Page

Posted on July 22, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

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.

Belcalis Bites Back: Cardi B Sets The Record Straight Over Allegations That She’s A Rapist After An Old Video Resurfaced

Posted on July 21, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Source: FayesVision/WENN.com / WENN Cardi B Is Tired Of The Allegations That Stem From Her Old Videos Cardi B faced some backlash earlier this year after an old video resurfaced, in which she admitted to drugging and robbing men while she was a stripper. At the time, she responded to all of the criticism by stating that she was “not proud” of her actions saying, “I have a past that I can’t change—we all do.” Now, the controversy surrounding her admission has re-resurfaced (thanks, internet) with people now accusing the rapper of being a rapist. Cardi responded to these most recent claims during her Instagram Live on Friday. “I don’t like when people be trying to call me a rapist,” she admitted to her fans. “I don’t like that s**t. Because people tried to dig up something and make it something that I didn’t do.” Though the “Clout” rapper didn’t exactly deny robbed some of her clients back when she was a stripper, she made sure to stress the fact that she never sexually assaulted anyone. “I never touched nobody, I never f***ed nobody,” she added. “And rape is when you f**k somebody without their consent or without asking.” https://twitter.com/PopCrave/status/1152332678508810240 As far as the other allegations stemming from the video, Cardi also went on to explain that those are false, too, emphasizing that she never drugged any of the men she met at her former workplace. “B***hes don’t have to put s**t in n****s’ drinks, these n****s be going to [the] club getting drunk and getting high…I never put s**t in n****s’ drinks. Yeah, I went through n****s’ pockets. A lot of you b****es be going through n****s’ pockets for $40 to catch a cab ’cause a n***a don’t want to give you that. Same s**t. Was I wrong for that? That was wrong, but I never f***in’ hurt nobody.” So, regarding the plethora of accusations that come from that one now-infamous Instagram video from years ago, it looks like the only thing Cardi concedes to is robbing some of her clients. In an effort to validate her claims of innocence, the Bronx native stressed that, because of her popularity as a stripper in New York, people would have found out very quickly if she actually had assaulted or drugged anyone. “If I was to ever harm or put a n***a in a situation, f**k jail, n****s would have cut my face [and] beat my ass,” she said. And there you have it
