Reggie Bush offended many women in New York State – Miss Buffalo Lonna McCary included – with a comment he made yesterday. The background: Bush’s Miami Dolphins play the Buffalo Bills tonight on the Bills’ home turf, with temps in the mid-to-upper 30s. That’s actually warm for Buffalo in November, prompting The Paul and Young Ron radio show hosts to ponder if any fans will go topless. “You don’t want to see that,” said one host. “No. God, no.” Bush, who’s expecting his first child with Lilit Avagyan , agreed. “No, not Buffalo women,” he said. Upon hearing this, Lonna McCary, the current Miss Buffalo, fired back : “These people who write disparaging remarks about Buffalo obviously haven’t spent enough time here to pass judgment,” she told Yahoo Sports. “Buffalo was once one of the most prosperous cities on the East Coast. Like them or not, the Buffalo Bills attended four straight Super Bowls in a row.” “I believe the negative attitude players who come to Buffalo have is half the reason we have suffered this long playoff drought.” “Yeah, it’s cold here, but get over it,” added the pride of Western New York. “You’re living millions of kids’ dreams, so get out there and play.” Former Heisman winner and Kim Kardashian boy toy Bush made light of the backlash on Twitter, claiming his words were twisted. “Lol it was a joke! GET IT! No? Nobody? Ok Crickets………..” “I love how people try to twist up my words lol! Whatever helps you sleep better at night. Now all of a sudden I’m bashing women in Buffalo? Lol! Ok if you say so…” One woman tweeted “thanks to your comments, we’re all going topless to the game tomorrow.” The NFL star retweeted that, adding, “Mission accomplished!” What if that really was his plan all along? Diabolically well played, Reg.
The body of Dr. Timothy V. Jorden , the doctor accused of shooting and killing his 33-year-old ex-girlfriend and co-worker at the hospital that employed them both, was discovered Friday. A two-day nationwide manhunt for Jorden, a suspect in the Wednesday morning shooting death of a former girlfriend at Erie County Medical Center, ended Friday when he was found in a wooded ravine about 800 yards from his lakefront home, dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. Jorden’s body, in blue surgical scrubs and black jacket, was discovered by two female state parole officers in dense underbrush near a ravine along Eighteen Mile Creek. A .357 Magnum was found in Jorden’s right hand, Buffalo Police Commissioner Daniel Derenda said. Ballistics tests will determine if it’s the same gun he used to kill Jackie Wisniewski, his ex-girlfriend and the single mother of a young boy, he said. No suicide note was found. “Had the doctor been taken alive, he would have been charged with murder,” Derenda said. “He shot the victim in the head four times and once in the back at point-blank range.” Cellphone records and Erie County Medical Center surveillance video, the commissioner said, show Jorden on the phone talking for 17 minutes to Wisniewski, “luring her down to a basement stairwell where he shot her.” Another doctor heard the gunfire at about 8 a.m. Wednesday and rushed to the stairwell, where he found the 33-year-old woman. At the same time, the 49-year-old Jorden ran up to his office on the third floor of the David K. Miller Building and unloaded shells from the gun before fleeing to his vehicle and heading to his home. Other hospital surveillance video showed the doctor, earlier that morning, arriving with a large bag that police determined contained a shotgun, Derenda said. The shotgun was later recovered from the surgeon’s office. Surveillance video at the doctor’s house on West Arnold Drive beside Lake Erie also played a crucial role in assisting police. Jorden entered his $540,000 home at 8:37 a.m. and 4 minutes later went out a back door, headed south toward a heavily wooded area in the direction of the ravine. “We believed there was a strong possibility he had committed suicide,” Derenda said, but heavy brush, the ravine, cliffs and a low tree canopy all conspired to slow the search. A neighbor on Thursday told police out canvassing that she had heard a single gunshot between 9:30 a.m. and 9:45 a.m. Wednesday — another sign that the doctor might have killed himself, Derenda said. But without a body to confirm a suicide, Buffalo Chief of Detectives Dennis J. Richards said detectives could not dismiss the possibility that Jorden was still alive and on the run, given the fact that he had withdrawn $36,000 from his bank account in the last two weeks. “We never gave up control of the doctor’s house as we worked on dual scenarios,” Richards said. FBI interviews The FBI conducted interviews nationwide and tracked the doctor’s cellphone and credit card records, while keeping an eye on airline passenger lists, according to Steven Lanser, assistant special agent in charge of the FBI’s Buffalo office. Meanwhile, the rugged terrain was mapped out, and law enforcement workers walked every inch of the area, with state police rappelling cliffs, K-9 dogs sniffing the grounds, and GPS units used to assist in guiding the search, according to State Police Capt. Steven A. Nigrelli. At 10:40 a.m. Friday, the meticulous approach paid off. Parole Officers Beth Hart and Paula Hughes found the doctor’s body. It was only then that authorities could stand down, State Police Maj. Christopher L. Cummings said. “Having an armed and dangerous individual on the loose is what causes police supervisors to have sleepless nights,” Cummings said. At a news conference early Friday evening in Buffalo Police Headquarters, Derenda said the satisfactory conclusion to the search would not have been possible without the cooperation of so many police agencies all willing to assist. Gifts for his brother In answering questions that arose over the last two days, Derenda said: Jorden took $20,000 of the $36,000 bank withdrawal and mailed a cashier’s check to his brother, Terrance, a dentist in Atlanta. On Tuesday evening, Jorden gave a Rolex watch and $5,500 to his close friend Martin L. Motley III, a Buffalo police officer on long-term disability. Surveillance video at the doctor’s home showed Motley arriving there at about 10 a.m. Wednesday. As Motley left the home at 11 a.m., Hamburg police officers took him into custody, Hamburg Police Chief Michael K. Williams said. Motley is not believed to have committed any criminal acts, Derenda said, though he remains suspended without pay for violating the police department sick leave confinement policy. Motley told city homicide detectives and FBI agents that Jorden gave him the watch and cash to pass along to his brother in Atlanta as gifts. The motive for the killing, Derenda said, “appears to be domestic in nature.” Friends say Wisniewski, a secretary in ECMC’s adolescent psychiatric unit, had confided to them that Jorden had been abusive and that he had threatened and stalked her in recent months. They said Wisniewski broke up with Jorden, a former Army Special Forces soldier, because he was cheating on her and she feared for her life. “Even while he was stalking the woman, he was dating other women, and it looks like it all came to a head,” a law enforcement official said, speaking on the condition he not be identified. This is all bad… SMH! That poor lady got cheated on and then stalked and then slaughtered. At least the neighbors can sleep at night now knowing dude is dead and isn’t going to kill anybody else.

Homeboy had been suffering “emotional problems” over the last couple months… SMH. Black Trauma Surgeon Wanted In Shooting Death Of Woman At Erie County Medical Center A popular black surgeon is wanted in the shooting death of a woman at the Erie County Medical Center this Wednesday morning: Buffalo police are looking for a prominent trauma surgeon in connection with the fatal shooting this morning of a woman on the campus of the Erie County Medical Center. Timothy V. Jorden Jr., 49, of Lakeview, is described as a bald, black male, about 6-foot-2 and 250 pounds. Police also said Jorden, who served in the Army, could be “special weapons trained.” The victim was Jacqueline Wisniewski, a 33-year-old receptionist at ECMC. The shooting was “not a random act,” officials said. The shooting death prompted authorities to lock down the hospital as a huge police presence converged on the campus to find the killer. The lockdown was lifted shortly before noon. People familiar with the case called Jorden a well-known, popular trauma surgeon at the medical center. Two sources, though, said Jorden had experienced some emotional problems in recent months. The attempt to locate him also included information about four vehicles registered to Jorden, including two GMC Sierra pickups, a Cadillac and a Chevrolet Cobalt, all from 2008 or 2010. Police were given a photograph of the man and were showing it to people at various checkpoints. Meanwhile, a police helicopter and a police presence surrounded the area around Jorden’s home, on West Arnold Drive in Lakeview, late this morning and early this afternoon. K-9 dogs, the Buffalo and Amherst police SWAT teams, an Erie County sheriff’s helicopter, and a team of U.S. marshals all rushed to the shooting scene earlier in an attempt to track down the killer. Four shots were fired at about 8:15 a.m., killing the woman, police officials said. There has been no indication from authorities about anyone else being wounded in the attack. The shooting happened on the ECMC grounds, but there have been conflicting reports whether it occurred in a covered passage-way between the campus’s David K. Miller Building and the kidney center, or in the Miller Building itself. “The SWAT Team is in control of the situation,” Buffalo police spokesman Michael J. DeGeorge said at mid-morning, during a news conference several hundred yards from the shooting scene. “It is an active situation.” Through early afternoon the hospital diverted emergency room patients to Buffalo General Hospital but the campus reopened shortly before 2 p.m., except for the Miller building. The hospital also said all employees should report at their regularly scheduled time today. Here’s a little more information about Jorden : He graduated from the University at Buffalo School of Medicine in 1996 and also was promoted to captain in the Army, according to a Buffalo News profile of him. Jorden has been known as a highly skilled, busy trauma surgeon who was popular at ECMC. But two sources said he had experienced some emotional problems in recent months. A News profile in 1996 described Jorden as a Buffalo native and 1981 Bennett High School graduate who joined the National Guard in high school, went into the Army after graduation and served with the Army’s Special Forces, first as a weapons expert, then as a medic. In those roles, he was on active duty in the Caribbean, Japan and Korea. Following his Army service, Jorden went to Methodist College in Fayetteville, N.C., where he graduated cum laude, with a bachelor’s degree in sociology. Earning a scholarship through the Army’s Health Professional Scholarship Program, Jorden chose UB over other medical schools. While at UB, Jorden tutored local high school students in math and science and received an award for academic achievement from the Buffalo Chapter of the National Medical Association, as well as a dean’s award. From UB, Jorden went to Madigan Army Medical Center in Tacoma, Wash., for two years. He later joined the ECMC department of surgery as an attending physician in 2003, also serving as a clinical assistant professor in surgery at UB. Jorden is certified in advanced-trauma life support and has received numerous awards recognizing his relationships with patients, his teaching skills and his involvement in the community. In 2002, Jorden was one of about two dozen people honored with the Black Achievers in Industry Awards in Buffalo. Sounds like a really top notch guy who went all the way left. This is so sad. Hopefully they catch him before he does any more harm to himself or others. Source Photo Credit: James P. McCoy
What happened to cheerleaders just spreading cheer and happiness and having sportsmanlike conduct??? A Buffalo girls basketball team was suspended after the players allegedly used a racial slur as part of their pregame cheer. Tyra Batts, the sole African-American on the Kenmore East High School’s squad, told the Buffalo News that her teammates would hold hands before the game, say a prayer and then shout “One, two, three (n——).” The practice came to light when she Tyra was suspended for getting into a fight about the use of racial slurs during practice, according to the newspaper. She said that she was alarmed by the cheer, but had been outnumbered and told that the use of the slur was just a team tradition. “I said, ‘You’re not allowed to say that word because I don’t like that word,’” she told the newspaper. “They said, ‘You know we’re not racist, Tyra. It’s just a word, not a label.’ I was outnumbered.” The 15-year-old eventually exploded after a practice when a teammate called her a ‘black piece of (expletive).’ She says she got into a fight with the girl later in school. “It was a buildup of anger and frustration at being singled out of the whole team,” she told the newspaper. Tyra’s suspension was shortened after the principal learned of the racial allegations. At least a dozen girls were suspended. Some of the team’s former players who took to Twitter seemed to have little knowledge of any “tradition” the team had of racial chants. “You (racist) b—-,” a 2010 graduate tweeted. “Glad I’m out of there.” Another one added, “Haha oh yeah that Ken East crap that’s going on. I want no part in that.” Where are the parents??? Seriously… SMH. Source
