Some people just can’t break up and keep it moving. Mom Asks Son And His Friend To Kill Fiance According to Mail Online A stripper is accused of luring her fiance to an apartment where her then-17-year-old son and his friend tried to kill him by strangling him with an extension cord and bashing him over the head with a fry pan. Vicky Miller, 44, is on trial for the November 2011 attempted murder of Paul Key, 54, whom she met while dancing topless at Lipstick Cabaret in Dallas and agreed to marry after just 30 minutes. Prosecutors on Monday said Key drained his 401k and took out a mortgage on his home so he could lavish Miller, who faces unrelated charges of aggravated sexual assault of a 13-year-old boy, with gifts including a car each for her and her son. ‘I agreed to support her financially,’ Key testified, adding that he spent cash he’d saved over 30 years on the woman. ‘I had someone I enjoyed talking with. I thought I could buy loyalty with money.’ He said they regularly met up for breakfast at IHOP following their night shifts and he paid her $2,000 a month to support her so she would quit her job at Lipstick Cabaret. But the affair, which Key claimed on Tuesday was non-sexual, turned sour after Miller kept putting off the wedding and after three and a half years Key, an AT&T employee, began to think he was being used, Dallasnews.com reported. He said he decided to break up with her and move forward with his life. Key, who had been diagnosed as a paranoid schizophrenic at age 35, said on Tuesday he had stopped taking his medication about two months before the breakup because he was strapped for cash. But he said that had no impact on his ability to remember the alleged attempted murder, which he claimed may have been prompted by the inaccurate belief that Miller would receive his life insurance payout. Damn, he lavished her with gifts and still almost got his wig pushed back. Didn’t help that he was a nutcase too. Continue reading →

Prison Closes After Female Inmate Forced To Give Birth In A Toilet The Texas prison that came under fire last summer after a female inmate filed a lawsuit agains them for forcing her to give birth to her daughter in a toilet has now closed down. The inmate, who’s newborn baby girl sadly died 4-days later as a result of the horrific incident, claimed the prison staff didn’t take her seriously when she said she was pregnant. Check out the details of the incident below. via Dallas News Just weeks ago the Texas Observer branded the Jesse R. Dawson State Jail on the banks of the Trinity River near downtown Dallas as “Texas’ worst state jail,” citing, among other things, poor conditions and inadequate medical treatment that “in a few cases led to deaths.” Among them: Autumn Miller’s premature baby, a girl named Gracie born after just 26 weeks of gestation. Autumn told KTVT-Channel 11 in July 2012 that guards at the privately operated jail, which is owned by Corrections Corporation of America, refused her cries for medical attention. She says the guards gave her a menstrual pad and locked her in a cell. She says they told her she just had to go to the bathroom. As a result, Miller says in a lawsuit filed Friday in Dallas federal court, on June 14, 2012, “She looked down and watched, in horror, as she delivered baby Gracie into the toilet.” The infant lived for four days and died in her mother’s arms. “Within an hour of Gracie’s death,” says the suit, “CCA employees took Autumn back to Dawson.” The suit alleges CCA guards did nothing to help Miller, before or after she gave birth to her baby; she claims it took guards 15 minutes just to find the key to get into her cell, and that “several CCA employees came into the holding cell while Gracie lay there helpless next to her bleeding mother.” Your Black World news has since reported that the prison in question has been closed down in accordance with an investigation into the unsatisfactory practices and treatment at several prison facilities across the country. What a horrible story! In prison or not, no woman deserves to be forced to do such a thing….and the child certainly didn’t deserve to lose her life for it.
Somebody please cancel Glenn’s show. He’s making our ears bleed. Glenn Beck Says Immigrants Learned From The Klan If immigrants learned from the Klan, then where did a racist azzhole like Glenn learn how to be such a loser? According to Raw Story Conservative radio host Glenn Beck told Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach (R) on Tuesday that immigrant activists have the “same ideology” as the Ku Klux Klan but they “are just changing their hood.” Over the weekend, about 300 activists traveled had traveled to Kobach’s home after holding a prayer vigil and and a town hall event to protest his efforts to crackdown on immigrants, including a role in an Arizona law which was eventually overturned by the United States Supreme Court. “I believe that this is the same exact tactics used by the Klan in the 1960s,” Beck declared on Tuesday. “And they’re doing it in the name of civil rights. But make no mistake, you are on the right side. You are the new civil rights movement.” “The civil rights movement did produce some laws that would stop you from doing these kinds of things,” he observed. “Have you thought about going and using the civil rights laws to stop this kind of harassment and intimidation at your own home?” “They’re called the Klan laws,” Kobach explained. “They’re a set of laws that say you cannot intimidate an official by trespassing his property or threatening violence, you cannot intimidate an individual by threatening violence so that they don’t vote or they don’t exercise their civil rights. And arguably both of those might apply here because they were trying to intimidate me as an elected official to change my point of view, and certainly they don’t like what I’ve been saying for years and doing for years to stop illegal immigration.” “You know, this is exactly — they’re just not wearing white cloaks, but this is exactly the KKK-type of intimidation,” he added. “These people have learned from the Klan,” Beck agreed. “The left is set up on revenge. And so they’re using the tactics of those who kept them down in the past, that we all tried to defeat — or at least all decent-minded Americans wanted to defeat and tried to defeat. And so they are just changing their hood and changing their language.” “But it is not changing who they really, truly are and what they are trying to do.” Earlier this week, Kobach insisted to Fox News that he was prepared to take advantage of his Second Amendment rights and use deadly force against “illegal aliens” rallying at his house if necessary. “Mob activity is always the same,” Beck remarked on Tuesday. “And it’s led by a few, and it’s led by people like Brown Shirts or the Klan or whatever you want to call it, hate groups. And they come and they march and they force you to salute and they force you to be silent.” Maybe someone should take Glenn and lynch, burn, and torture him then he could see that immigrants and the Klan are not the same thing.
