White Supremacists Shoot #BlackLivesMatter Protesters In Minneapolis The protests sprung by the death of Jamar Clark have turned violent — not because of the peaceful protesters, but because of the racists that hate the fact that people care about the senseless death of a Black man at the hands of police. Some white men in bulletproof vests were spotted opening fire on the protesters, and wounded five people in the process. Via MailOnline : Five people have been shot near the site of an ongoing protest over the fatal shooting of a black man by a police officer, a Minneapolis Police Department spokesman said. Jamar Clark, 24, was shot in the head by police on November 15 while allegedly wearing handcuffs, according to witnesses. The five people shot just before midnight on Monday all have non-threatening injuries, according to Minneapolis Police Department spokesman John Elder. The shootings occurred near an alley about a block away from the 4th Precinct station, where protesters have been conducting a sit-in since Clark was shot. Protesters who witnessed the violence claim the shooters were white supremacists. Dana Jaehnert said one of the men had been wearing a mask and one was shouting ‘the “n” word’, she told The Star Tribune. Black Lives Matter spokesperson Miski Noor said they opened fire on the group when a dozen protesters attempted to herd them away from the area. Jaehnert said that’s when she heard four gunshots. The attackers then fled. A police source told KTSP that the suspects are believed to be white males wearing bulletproof vests. SMH! These protesters can’t even peacefully air their grievances over the death of an unarmed, handcuffed Black man without racists coming to shoot them down. SMH.

Kiera Wilmot Was Arrested When Her Volcano Was Mistaken For A Bomb Before the infamous photo of high school student Ahmed Mohamed in handcuffs was viewed across the country, another teenager, Kiera Wilmot, was arrested for almost the same thing just 2 years ago! Via WTSP : Last week, officers arrested the 14-year-old at his Texas school after showing up with a homemade clock, mistaken as a fake bomb. “Before, I was really scared that no one was going to care about me because I’m Muslim and now everyone wants to interview me because of what happened,” Mohamed said. What followed was outrage and support, even an invitation to the White House. The charges were dropped once it was figured out the suspicious device is a clock. While it’s a unique case, look no further than our area and you’ll find it’s happened before. “I was thinking how could this happen again?” said Kiera Wilmot. Wilmot, now 19, was a 16-year-old student at Bartow High school in Polk County. Back in 2013, she was arrested after showing off her volcano science project, mistaken as a bomb. “No rights read to me, [I was] taken in a police car from school to a juvenile assessment center,” she said. But, just like Mohamed the community came out to her defense. “I think what they did was amazing. How he had all the support behind him and what took my charges to be dropped within a month, took him only a week.” The school district in Texas, however, stands by their decision. “It’s a little bit disappointing that there are so many comments on social media from people who I don’t think have the complete story and we have an obligation to protect all 2800 students here at MacArthur,” said Lesley Weaver, spokesperson for the Irving School District. Kiera is now a mechanical engineering major at Florida Polytechnic University and hopes to meet Mohamed one day!
F. Gary Gray’s Straight Outta Compton has been doing major numbers, which comes as no surprise… After leading both the U.S. and Canadian box office, raking in an estimated $157.5 million, Gray has officially become the highest-grossing black director of a single film in domestic sales, according to Forbes. Gray beat out both Tim Story’s Fantastic Four, which earned $154.6 million back in 2005 and Keenen Ivory Wayans’s Scary Movie… However, Straight Outta Compton’s international box office success doesn’t quite measure up to either of the aforementioned film’s international box office million’s. With $24.9 million in foreign ticket sales, Scary Movie’s $121 and Fantastic Four’s $175.8. Even still, Straight Outta Compton’s dominated the domestic lane, and brought a much needed hip-hop film to the forefront.
