Source: Mint Images / Getty Ain’t God good? Larry Mitchell Hopkins, Leader Of United Constitutional Patriots, Beaten In Jail The leader of a rancidly racist right-wing militia group recently got his a** beat, and it’s very much so the highlight of our day. Larry Mitchell Hopkins, the 69-year-old leader of the United Constitutional Patriots, apparently got hands and feet put on him in a New Mexico prison. Doña Ana County officials told NBC News that they’re investigating a battery against Hopkins that happened after 9 p.m. Monday, April 22. But they provided few details. “Hopkins was given medical attention for non-life-threatening injuries,” a Doña Ana County news release states. “He was transferred out of the Doña Ana County Detention Center under the direction of the U.S. Marshals Service on Tuesday.” His attack comes after he appeared in federal court in connection with a charge of him being a felon in possession of a firearm. Hopkins group reportedly prided themselves on being the “eyes and ears” of border patrol agents and targeted migrants, sometimes holding them at gunpoint until agents arrived. His band of merry men reportedly was 20 deep and they were “armed with AK-47 rifles and other firearms.” An FBI tip line blew the whistle on the United Constitutional Patriots actions and the FBI agent who wrote the complaint against them said Hopkins allegedly said the group was “training to assassinate George Soros, Hillary Clinton, and Barack Obama.” Hopkins’ lawyer has since called the accusation “categorically false.” NBC also ran down the laundry list of Hopkins’ criminal history. It reads as follows; “In 1996, Hopkins was convicted of possession of a loaded firearm and was sentenced to state prison in Michigan for 16 months minimum to two years maximum, according to the complaint.” “In 2006, he was convicted of felony possession of a weapon in Oregon and sentenced to 40 days in jail and 36 months of probation, the complaint said.” “At the same time, Hopkins was also convicted of criminal impersonation of a peace officer and sentenced to 20 days in jail and 24 months of probation, the complaint said.” Wow, what a patriot (sarcasm). It sounds a lot like Hopkins and his militia group were just racist azzholes targeting families and covering it up by calling themselves patriots. Do YOU agree?
Source: PYMCA / Getty Stormzy’s New Music Video For “Vossi Bop” If you’re not familiar with UK grime artist Stormzy then we highly suggest you watch the video then make yourself familiar with his past work. There is often debate among American rap fans as to whether or not UK rappers and grime artists have appeal across the pond. You’d think people would recognize that talent is talent, but a certain level of fear disguised as arrogance comes into play when our brothas and sistas pick up the mic and talk their talk. Shame really. Press play on the video below with an open mind and tell us what you think. Well?

Source: Splash News / Splash News Some things required a lot of prayer this week, and we’ll let you know what resulted in an L and what resulted in a miraculous win. Check out the losers for this week below, then hit the next page for the W! Losers 1. Kanye West’s $50 church socks So these socks cost $50. If you bought these $50 Jesus socks from Kanye I’m just going to assume you also got scammed at Fyre Fest. pic.twitter.com/QvbTxWRyrY — sushi mane (@srkellz) April 21, 2019 A sock labeled “Church” costs $50. A sock labeled “Jesus” costs FIFTY DOLLARS. This past weekend, Kanye West performed at Coachella for his Sunday Service, which he would usually hold regularly for family and friends in the past. However, he decided to share the gospel-fused experience with Coachella, complete with a gospel choir, a sermon by DMX, and performances of Kanye hits like “Jesus Walks.” The whole event took place atop a man-made hill and everyone from Chance the Rapper to Donald Glover attended, according to TMZ . Now Kanye is already on thin ice for many of his fans, considering his MAGA love. But if the man wants to have a spiritual experience atop a grassy mountain with beige-tastic clothing, who’s to stop him? The issues came when Kanye was selling merchandise on site and the price tags were more than questionable. Kanye sold sweatshirts for $225, but considering his ideas about high fashion, this pricing might be SLIGHTLY comprehensible in a fashionista’s view. But when he charged $50 for socks…socks you walk in, socks that are sometimes covered up by jeans, he was completely and utterly tripping. And then, they have the nerve to have religious text on them, having me feel like I should pay $50 for Jesus when Jesus should be free… Or at least at an affordable price if you’re someone who puts money in religion. Twitter wasn’t haven’t it. Is this the #Easter miracle we’ve been waiting for?! $50 socks from Kanye. Do they help us walk on water? I need an honest review from someone at #Coachella . pic.twitter.com/DnUdbNJkFL — King B (@kuyakollective) April 21, 2019 Jesus ain’t died for some $50 socks or no $225 sweater, Kanye…SMH pic.twitter.com/zCvowCB3Zz — Reneé Larson (@iamreneejai) April 21, 2019 Jesus about to resurrect the dead to come beat the shit outta all the suckas that bought $50 Kanye socks — JLim (@JLimSD) April 21, 2019 No thanks Kanye. Moving on. 2. Avengers: Endgame spoilers I’ll make this one quick, since any utterance of an Endgame storyline could cause a riot. Endgame has arrived and we’ll finally learn the fate of the Avengers and the powerful Thanos. With the movie being hailed as a big rap-up for all 22 Marvel Universe movies, this is arguably the biggest flick of the year. So WHY DO PEOPLE HAVE TO SPOIL IT??? Spend one second on social media and you risk catching all the important stuff that will go down in history . This week, folks have been dodging spoilers left and right and they unleashed their grievances online. If you spoil endgame, i DEADASS won’t talk to you for a year and A HALF — dylan j.
