Trucker Who Slammed Into Tracy Morgan’s Car Hadn’t Slept In 28 Hours

Trucker Who Slammed Into Tracy Morgan’s Car Hadn’t Slept In 28 Hours Tracy Morgan is doing well on his road to recovery since the tragic truck accident that caused him severe brain damage and killed another passenger. Now, a new report from the National Transportation Safety Board is finding that the entire incident may have been avoidable if the Wal Mart driver in question had simply gotten some rest. Via CNN : A truck driver’s fatigue — exacerbated by his decision to drive 12 hours to work before he even started his 14-hour shift — likely caused the June 2014 crash that killed comedian James McNair and seriously injured comedian Tracy Morgan in New Jersey, federal officials said Tuesday. But McNair, Morgan and others in the passenger compartment of a limo van weren’t wearing seat belts or using properly adjusted head restraints, a factor that contributed to the severity of their injuries, the National Transportation Safety Board said. A Walmart truck driven by Kevin Roper rear-ended the limo van, which was carrying seven people, shortly before 1 a.m. on the New Jersey Turnpike on June 7, 2014. The crash killed McNair — known as “Jimmy Mack” — and seriously injured four other passengers, including former “Saturday Night Live” and “30 Rock” performer Morgan, who was left with a brain injury. The NTSB said Roper was driving 65 mph in a work zone with a posted 45 mph limit, and failed to brake in time for slow-moving traffic ahead of him, including the limo van. The board said Roper declined to speak to its investigators. But the board determined that Roper was awake for more than 28 consecutive hours before the crash, having driven 12 hours in his personal vehicle before he started his job on the morning of June 6, the NTSB said. Wow. What would make him thing it would be a good idea to drive for that long???

Hoy En Mi Gente News: Rosie Perez Quits ‘The View’ After ABC Execs Forced Her To Apologize To Racist Azz Kelly Osbourne

Rosie Perez Quits ‘The View’ After Being Forced To Apologize To Kelly Osbourne F*** the ABC executives as a station, a staff and a muthaf***in’ crew. Surely you haven’t forgotten that Kelly Osbourne put her racist cankles in her mouth last week on live TV when she suggested that Donald Trump shouldn’t champion immigration reform because there would not be any latino people to clean his toilets. Well, it appears that Kelly’s comments have resulted in Rosie Perez’s early resignation from the s#!t show known as “The View” Via DailyMail Rosie Perez canceled her last appearances on The View after being forced to apologize to Kelly Osbourne for her anger at her co-star’s racist remark about Latinos, Daily Mail Online can reveal exclusively today. Rosie refused to turn up for her two, final live shows last week and skipped several, pre-taped appearances after having an intense blow-up with ABC executives over Kelly’s on-air comment. Kelly, 30, caused outrage after asking: ‘If you kick every Latino out of this country, then who is going to be cleaning your toilet, Donald Trump?’ during a Hot Topics segment about Donald Trump’s poll numbers within the community last Tuesday. A silence fell over the studio audience as other co-hosts were clearly taken aback. After a pause, Rosie, who has Puerto Rican heritage, mumbled: ‘Oh, that’s not… oh, no!’ and shook her head in disbelief. Sounds like an extremely reserved response on Rosie’s part considering extremely disrespectful nature of what the chubby white jawn said. When the cameras cut away, the daughter of rock legend Ozzy Osbourne and The Talk co-host Sharon Osbourne burst into tears. ‘Everyone is going to think I’m racist. I can’t believe this,’ she cried, as producers of the show and her personal handlers ran to her side. At the time, ABC execs cornered Rosie during the break and demanded she apologize to Kelly in the last segment of the live broadcast, a source told Daily Mail Online. The show resumed and the topic wasn’t addressed again until the end of the show. During the last segment, Rosie started with: ‘I want to apologize to this young woman once again for being very sensitive.’ Kelly asked: ‘Why? You had every right.’ Why the F*** did Rosie owe the chubby white jawn an apology?!?! Daily Mail Online has learned that ABC executives then gathered in Rosie’s room and demanded that she tweet an apology to her co-star. She told them: ‘I’ve already done more than enough by apologizing on air,’ before a loud argument took place. The source added: ‘She and the ABC executives had it out. She was yelling at them at the top of her lungs that their demands were disrespectful. ‘They were telling her that she better do exactly as they said. It was an ugly scene and Rosie was crying uncontrollably and outraged.’ Rosie posted a tweet on her official account, which read: ‘My apologies @KellyOsbourne, I took your point wrong-#Trump #Latinos. My bad. Your heart is so pure & righteous. I adore you. @TheView.’ After the Twitter post, Rosie then declared that she was ‘done with this f****** show’ and told the executives ‘to kiss her a**’ before storming out of the building and vowing never to return to ‘this s***hole of a place!’ If you’re keeping score at home, the racist tugboat commonly known as Kelly Osbourne is still employed by ABC after uttering a terribly offensive diatribe about latin people, and Rosie Perez, a latina woman, no longer has a job because she was angry at what Kelly said. ‘Merica.

Quick Karma: White Supremacist Blows Off His Own Leg While Making 7 Bombs At His House

White Supremacist Blows Off His Own Leg While Making Bombs An upstate New York man who blew his leg off in his garage making improvised explosive devices will be held in federal custody without bail because law enforcement found white supremacist paraphernalia and believe he’s dangerous. Via Raw Story : Michael O’Neill, 45, a former Niagara County corrections officer, is accused of making seven bombs and was arrested two weeks ago after one of the devices accidentally went off. O’Neill was rushed to a hospital where his leg had to be amputated. He was the only one injured, WGRZ reports. “Luckily, he is detained,” Assistant U.S. Attorney John Alsup told Time Warner Cable News. “He is no longer at large in the community with or without some of the physical disabilities he’s going to have going forward, but luckily for the community, he only hurt himself.” Pictures of the KKK, Nazi imagery and the Confederate flag were found inside his home, which he lives in with his stepfather, William Ross, who chairs the Niagara County Legislature, WGRZ reports. Even with his leg now missing, prosecutors believed it would be too risky for the public if O’Neill was released from custody. The explosives he created contained nails and BB pellets, according to reports. One was labeled “powder with nails.” His attorney said O’Neill was just planning to blow up some tree stumps. “The fact that there were some items that we described in court as consistent with, white supremacists, to include the Ku Klux Klan, and the Nazi imagery, some of the verbiage which was particularly on the Nazi picture, also the Confederate battle flag, means that law enforcement has more work to go,” U.S. Attorney William Hochul told TWC News. O’Neill will remain in the custody of the U.S. Marshalls while he recuperates, then will be transferred to a detention facility. After the explosion, a neighbor told local WKBW that O’Neill spend hours on end “We only know that we see him at night, in the middle of the night, all hours of the night, all seasons, just out in the garage, out in the back yard,” the neighbor told the station. Karma is a dish best served with a blown off leg!
