Ray Donovan actor Pooch Hall has been charged with DUI and child abuse since his 2-year-old was with him when he crashed his car. Reports TMZ : TMZ broke the story … Hall was arrested earlier this month in Burbank after a witness saw him driving with his toddler in his lap, holding the steering wheel. The boy was not strapped in — in fact, the child car seat was sitting unattached in the back seat. The car veered off and smashed into a parked car. Remarkably … no one was injured, although the child dissolved into tears. Hall blew a .25 … more than 3 times the legal limit. Hall now faces a maximum of 6 years and 6 months in prison.

Source: Douglas Sacha / Getty Two people are dead and a suspect is in custody after a gunman opened fired at a Kentucky Kroger supermarket in a town just outside of the city of Louisville. The son of the bystander said his father, who was armed, confronted the gunman who reportedly said “whites don’t kill whites” to the man before he was later apprehended. The Courier-Journal reports : Eric Deacon was paying for his groceries Wednesday afternoon at Kroger just off Hurstbourne Parkway when he heard “a loud bang.” It sounded like a wood pallet slamming to the floor. That’s when he saw a man in a neon sweatshirt racing past him, firing a gun back toward another man who was chasing him. Deacon hit the ground, and soon the men were shooting back and forth at each other in the parking lot. “About that time, a lady came around the corner and got hit,” said Deacon, an EMT who shielded himself from gunfire in the front of the store behind a wall as he spoke to 911. After police arrived, Deacon went over to administer CPR to the woman. “When I looked at her, she was gone,” he said. “There was nothing I could do.” The violence that unfolded on Wednesday at a Kroger grocery store in a busy Jeffersontown shopping center left two people dead, a suspect in custody and police searching for a motive. In an interview with local outlet Wave3 , Steve Zinninger said that his father confronted the gunman by drawing his own weapon. Zinninger said that the man told his father, “don’t shoot me and I won’t shoot you. Whites don’t kill whites.” The identities of the victims and suspect have not been released to the public. — Photo: Getty
T allahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum ’s masterful debate performance on Sunday was no fluke. Gillum continued to dominate his GOP rival for Florida governor Ron DeSantis in their second debate Wednesday night at Broward College in Davie, Florida. SEE ALSO: Andrew Gillum Called For An End To Black Voter Apathy, And Got It One of the big questions before the rematch was how Gillum would respond to an onslaught from DeSantis over an FBI probe into possible Tallahassee government corruption, in which the mayor is reportedly not the target of the investigation. On Tuesday, text messages were made public about the source of tickets Gillum received to the Broadway musical Hamilton that appears to contradict his statements at the first debate on the issue. Here are five things we’ve learned about Gillum and DeSantis as they stood under the spotlight on the debate stage for the second time. 1. Gillum can handle the pressure The Tallahassee mayor was clearly prepared to address the pink elephant in the room. DeSantis raised the FBI investigation issue about 40 minutes into the debate, prompted by Gillum accusing him of lying in TV attack ads. Gillum turned the tables by demanding that DeSantis release records of his $145,000 in taxpayer-funded travel as a Congressman. DeSantis resigned his congressional post to focus on this gubernatorial campaign. The former lawmaker has declined to reveal how he paid for several trips, including travel to New York City to appear on Fox News to increase his public profile for his Florida governor campaign. Ron DeSantis spent $145,000 in tax-payer money to travel to New York for Fox News interviews. #RonDeLiar https://t.co/31zAtr8tQt — Florida Democrats (@FlaDems) October 24, 2018 2. Gillum knows how to connect DeSantis always looked uncomfortable on stage and defensive when discussing his record. By contrast, Gillum was masterful at weaving his compelling personal story into responses—touching on key themes that most people can relate to. The mayor talked about the sacrifices of his working-class parents who were determined to make sure he received a proper education. Gillum also frequently dropped in pearls of wisdom that he learned from his grandmother. As my grandmother used to say, a hit dog will holler. And boy oh boy, @RonDeSantisFL … #FLGovDebate — Andrew Gillum (@AndrewGillum) October 24, 2018 3. DeSantis doesn’t have an answer on healthcare Healthcare is one of the policy issues that’s important to Floridians. It was clear that DeSantis has no answers to their concerns. Gillum pointed out that his opponent was one of Trump’s strongest supporters in the failed Republican attempt to repeal Obamacare without a viable replacement. I believe healthcare is a right. @RonDeSantisFL doesn’t. Facts matter. pic.twitter.com/NbXlTBJZlt — Andrew Gillum (@AndrewGillum) October 24, 2018 4. Yeah, DeSantis is racist The moderator indirectly asked DeSantis if he’s a racist. He pointed to the former congressman warning Florida voters not to “ monkey this up ” by voting for Gillum, who would become the state’s first African-American governor. He also highlighted some of DeSantis’ long history of associating with white nationalists. DeSantis unconvincingly denied that he’s a racist, raising his voice as if that would convince viewers. The mayor had a golden response. “I’m not calling him a racist,” Gillum said. “But the racists believe he’s a racist.” FL Governors Debate just got *intense*: @AndrewGillum says of his GOP opponent @RonDeSantisFL “I'm not calling him a racist. I'm just saying the racists believe he's a racist.” — Alex Wagner (@alexwagner) October 24, 2018 5. Gillum unabashedly progressive Gillum showed that he was unwilling to yield on key issues that are important to his base when DeSantis pressed him. He stood firm on increasing the minimum wage and taxing the state’s wealthiest companies to increase teacher salaries and to pay for early childhood education, even though DeSantis tried to create fear that those fiscal policies would drive companies out Florida.
