Elderly Florida Woman Accused Of Animal Cruelty Granny is about that life . Via MailOnline : A Florida woman is accused of killing two dogs that ate her beloved cat Poopy. Two days ago, witnesses told Orange County Animal Services that Wanda Griffin chased the dogs, ran over one of them with her minivan, and beat both of them with a bat. Click Orlando reports that one of the dogs died on the scene and the other was so badly injured that animal services were moved to euthanize it. Witnesses say that a group of boys on bikes were walking their dogs when they crossed path’s with Wanda Griffin’s cat who was sitting atop her mini van. Neighbors say that the boys took the cat named Poopy off the top of the car and threw it towards their dogs while yelling, ‘sic ‘em.’ The dogs voraciously devoured Poopy and that’s when Griffin allegedly snapped. Neighbor Doris Barnes said she saw the whole debacle unravel before her eyes. ‘She said, “I’m going to kill you because you killed my cat.” And the dog was just lying there,’ said Barnes. Wanda Griffin denied all allegations against her. When Animal Control investigated the scene they saw a bat inside of Griffin’s van but it did not have any blood on it. The van also didn’t show any signs of an accident. Griffin was not arrested but she was given a citation. A state attorney’s office will decide whether to charge Griffin with a crime of animal cruelty or not. Clearly someone here is lying. Who do you believe?? Click Orlando
“I love them, I have deep companionship for them…” Woman Lives With 300 Rats A Florida woman is making headlines for letting her home become infested with her 300 pet rats. FoxCT reports: When you walk into Florine Brown’s house, it’s obvious something is wrong. Holes are in the furniture, a foul odor fills the air…and there’s rats…lots and lots of rats. Florine Brown, the homeowner said, “It got really out of control, but I still wanted to keep them.” Brown loves these rodents. She started with three back in 20-12…but they escaped and multiplied. Now there are around three hundred and you can find them behind every nook and cranny. Brown said, “I didn’t think of it as a big deal or a problem. I still don’t, but it really got out of hand.” A family member called local animal rescue groups, and little by little, they’re going to safely remove them. The process could take a month to complete. Brown said, “I love them. I have deep compassion for them.” Neighbors had tried to warn her to stop the rodents from mating. Sharron Fouratt said, “If you leave them loose and they breed quickly, you know that’s what happens.” Already about seventy rats have been removed in the past few days, but there’s a lot more work to do. Brown said, “I just want them to go to good homes.” And hopefully that will bring her life back to normal. Officials from rescue groups are working to capture the rats and find them new homes. Brown will not face any criminal charges for letting her home become infested. SMH….poor thang.

Watch your mouth, lady! Teacher Fired For Calling Students Racial Slur May Be Rehired Due To Union Laws We understand teachers getting fed-up with kids on their job…but you can’t go around calling them racial slurs when you don’t appreciate their work ethic — even if you’re Black yourself. One Florida math teacher was fired for that very reason, but may actually get her job back due to a technicality. Would you want a teacher who called the kids out of their name back behind the desk the next semester? SMH. Via MailOnline : A math teacher who was fired this year for allegedly calling her students ‘n*****s’ may be re-hired after a judge ruled the school district didn’t follow the proper steps in her termination. Joyce Quiller, 51, taught math to at-risk students at Jean Ribault High School in Jacksonville, Florida when she got her termination letter last February. A judge last month ruled that the Duval School District violated Quiller’s union contract by firing her, instead of first putting her on suspension without pay. ‘The School Board skipped step three and went directly to termination even though, if the allegations were true, they would have amounted to what is considered a minor offense,’ Reginal Luster, Quiller’s legal consultant, told WJXT. ‘Not some type of severe misconduct on behalf of Ms Quiller. It does not warrant the termination.’ The school board will meet next week to discuss what to do about the judge’s ruling. According to a document detailing the January investigation, seven students in the 10th and 11th grade came forward to say Quiller used derogatory language to belittle them. Quiller worked as a math teacher in the Bridge to Success program, which aims at helping at-risk students. One student described the moment Quiller berated a group of boys after they walked into the classroom, saying: ‘You all are some lazy n****** for coming to class late.’ Another student, who had Quiller for Algebra 2 and Geometry, says she frequently called him the offensive name. ‘You are like the rest of these n*****s, now you want to come to school and do your work,’ she said to that student on one occasion. Other students say she has called them ‘stupid’ and ‘ignorant’ and has used other curse words in class. A student who forgot to bring a pencil to class says Quiller told him. ‘What is the point in coming to the mother-f****** class if you do not bring materials?’ However, Quiller’s legal counsel says the judge found the allegations ‘not credible at all’. Though Quiller has not issued a statement following the judge’s decision, she denied using the n-word in class in the January report. She wrote that as an African-American she ‘praised herself in being intelligent and classy’, and does not refer to herself or call people of color the n-word. She went on to say she doesn’t understand why the assistant principal has a ‘vendetta’ against her. If you can’t make it through the day teaching without calling the poor kids out of their names (at least not out loud) perhaps education is not the career path for you. If she truly said those things, she really does not belong back in the classroom.
Hi hater ! Steve King Says He Doesn’t Think Obama Could Pass The Citizenship Test Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) recently quipped that President Barack Obama wouldn’t be able to pass the citizenship test because he doesn’t understand the United States economic infrastructure and how capitalism works. Via NewsOne reports: This is not King’s first time trying to other President Obama and question his loyalty and investment in the United States. During an immigration rally in June, King said of the POTUS: “His vision of America isn’t like our version of America. That we know,” King said. “Now I don’t assert where he was born, I will just tell you that we are all certain that he was not raised with an American experience. So these things that beat in our hearts when we hear the National Anthem and when we say the Pledge of Allegiance doesn’t beat the same for him.” King’s ignorance is extraordinarily diverse. As previously reported by NewsOne, King also co-signed the extraordinarily idiotic and insensitive statements of Missouri GOP Congressman Todd Akin, who derailed his senate campaign with his statement that “legitimate” rape victims can’t get pregnant. According to King at the time, “Well, I just haven’t heard of that being a circumstance that’s been brought to me in any personal way and I’d be open to hearing discussion about that subject matter…I think this election should be about: How did Todd Akin vote and what did he vote for and what did he stand for? In this case, I’m seeing the same thing, petty, personal attacks substituting for strong policy.” Is this guy a political troll or nah?
Home girl is BOLD ! Woman Poses For Picture With Stolen Credit Card A Florida woman (of course) is on the run after police say she posed for a photo with a stolen credit card that she used to buy $400 worth of weave with. Click Orlando reports: Ocala police say they’re getting closer to catching the woman who used a stolen credit card to buy $400worth of hair last month. Officers have received numerous tips from the public after releasing a picture of a smiling woman posing with the card on Monday. Her victim, 74-year-old Josephine Lupo, had her wallet stolen while shopping at a Ocala Walmart. “I’ve never had anything stolen from me,” Lupo told Local 6. “I’m shaking right now every time I think about. I think, ‘How could that happen?’” Abdel Kasem said the alleged thief is a regular customer, but the Kasem said she grew suspicious after the thief showed a credit card and didn’t have a matching driver’s license. “She kept saying, ‘You know me, you know me,’ and I said, ‘I know your face, but we don’t know your name, so I’m not gonna take your card without ID.’” That’s when Kasem asked to take her picture with the credit card. “I thought that would scare her into saying I don’t want this anymore, but she smiled for it,” Kasem said. The picture surprised Lupo, too. She old Local 6 the woman who took her wallet was not African-American. So now police are hoping a picture will help lead them to whoever else was helping her steal. “I’m going put all my credit cards in a vault,” said Lupo. “I want them in jail.” According to the police report, there may be even more evidence for police. There is surveillance video that shows the woman using a stolen credit card to buy gas, but police say it is not available yet. These Florida crazies just don’t care…SMH
Because FLORIDA …smh Florida Woman Tells Cops She’s A God A Florida woman was recently arrested after authorities say she stole candy from a dollar store, flaunted it in the store owner’s face and told police she was “a God” who could do no wrong. Alrighty… TCPalm reports: A woman accused of absconding with Raisinets later told investigators she was a “god” and could do as she wished. But Martin County Sheriff’s officials evidently disagreed, taking her to the slammer on a disorderly conduct charge, according to recently released records. The case against Nancy Mullis, 52 at the time, began shortly after 5 a.m. July 17 as a deputy went to a Cumberland Farms store in the 2900 block of Southeast Dixie Highway. A manager said Mullis swiped a bag of Raisinets, valued at $2.99, and that they wanted to prosecute. Mullis also said she took the Raisinets — chocolate covered raisins popular with movie-goers. The manager said Mullis caused a ruckus in the store. He said she grabbed the Raisinets when she left and while outside “flaunted the stolen property at the store clerk.” Mullis was given a trespass warning from the store and a notice to appear in court on a theft charge, while the Raisinets were returned. About 4:30 p.m. the same day, deputies again encountered Mullis. “Mullis was waving her arms wildly and cursing,” an affidavit states. “Mullis was stating that she was a god and could do what she wanted.” The owner showed the deputy where Mullis is said to have thrown stuff from the shelves onto the ground and flipped over a newspaper stand and cigarette receptacle. Mullis, of Stuart, was arrested on a disorderly conducted charge and taken to jail. Someone come get your Aunt Nancy please!

The bullying has got to stop… Alberta Mother Of 5 Writes Open Letter To Bullies Who Mocked Her Stretch Marks On Beach A mother of five from Alberta, Canada has been embraced by people across the globe after turning to Facebook to vent about her horrifying experience at the beach. Check out her open letter below: “This is an open letter to the 2 guys and 1 girl who decided to skip work today in Sherwood Park where they were building a house, but instead decided to come to Alberta Beach to relax in the sun, enjoy the water and some beers. I’m sorry if my first attempt at sun tanning in a bikini in public in 13 years “grossed you out”. I’m sorry that my stomach isn’t flat and tight. I’m sorry that my belly is covered in stretch marks. I’m NOT sorry that my body has housed, grown, protected, birthed and nurtured FIVE fabulous, healthy, intelligent and wonderful human beings. I’m sorry if my 33 year old, 125 lb body offended you so much that you felt that pointing, laughing, and pretending to kick me. But I’ll have you know that as I looked at your ‘perfect’ young bodies, I could only think to myself “what great and amazing feat has YOUR body done?”. I’ll also have you know that I held my head high, unflinching as you mocked me, pretending that what you said and did had no effect on me; but I cried in the car on the drive home. Thanks for ruining my day. It’s people like you who make this world an ugly hateful place. I can’t help but feel sorry for the women who will one day bear your children and become “gross” in your eyes as their bodies change during the miraculous process of pregnancy. I can only hope that one day you’ll realize that my battle scars are something to be proud of, not ashamed of.” Well said, right?! We’re glad that she was able to turn her negative into a positive. Her letter has been shared all across the world OVER 3,400 times!!! Facebook
