When will the madness end?? ISIS Terrorists Behead British Aid Worker David Cameron ISIS released video Saturday evening that shows the beheading of David Cawthorne Haines, a British aid worker. Haines’ death comes just weeks after the execution of two American captives, James Foley and Steven Sotloff . Via Gawker reports: The gruesome video, first reported by the SITE Intelligence Group, is nearly identical to those showing Foley and Sotloff’s executions. The clip begins with Haines reading a statement blaming British Prime Minister David Cameron for his death. From the video’s transcript: My name is David Cawthorne Haines. I would like to declare that I hold you, David Cameron, entirely responsible for my execution. You entered voluntarily into a coalition with the United States against the Islamic State, just as you’re predecessor, Tony Blair, did. Following a trend amongst our British Prime Ministers who can’t find the courage to say no to the Americans. Unfortunately, it is we, the British public, that will in the end pay the price for our Parliaments selfish decisions. The executioner, apparently the same man who killed Sotloff and Foley, then reads a statement, calling Cameron an “obedient lapdog” who “will only drag you and your people into another bloody and unwinnable war,” and pulls a knife to Haines’ throat. The video then fades to black, before returning to show Haines’ severed head on top of his body. The video ends with the executioner threatening to kill a second British hostage, identified as Alen Henning: “If you, Cameron, persist in fighting the Islamic State, then you, like your master Obama, will have the blood of your people on your hands.” Cameron appeared to confirm the beheading later Saturday, calling it an “act of pure evil” in a statement. Haines was captured in a small Syrian village in March 2013 while working with a French group to deliver humanitarian aid. His abduction had been a secret until the publication of Sotloff’s execution video earlier this month. Haines is survived by his wife, Dragana, and two daughters. On Friday, his family released a statement directed at ISIS. “We are the family of David Haines,” the message said. “We have sent messages to you to which we have not received a reply. We are asking those holding David to make contact with us.”
This is some extra-bitter isht right here… Woman Pleads Not Guilty On Felony Charges For “Silly Pranks” Via ABCnews : A California woman accused of playing cruel and potentially dangerous pranks on a couple who bought her dream home pleaded not guilty in San Diego court today. Kathy Rowe was arraigned on felony charges of solicitation of rape and sodomy and misdemeanor charges for identity theft and repeated harassment by electronic communication. She entered the not guilty plea through her attorney, Brad Patton. Rowe was arrested in October 2012 when she was accused of harassing a couple who bought the house in the upscale Carmel Valley neighborhood that she had also placed an offer on, according to the criminal complaint. Rowe was devastated when she lost her “forever home,” and began playing mean tricks on the husband and wife, including stopping their mail and sending strangers to their home, according to prosecutors. Rowe is accused of signing the wife up for sex ads online, including one she titled “Carmel Valley Freak Show,” encouraging visitors to drop by unannounced while her husband is at work, according to court documents. She allegedly told men who responded to the listings to push their way inside the home, and gave men the couple’s new address. One man responded to the ad and showed up at the couple’s doorstep, according to court documents. The couple, who bought the house for $779,000, was also bombarded by unwanted magazines, books and junk mail addressed to “Jacques Arse,” which Rowe is accused of arranging. Rowe also allegedly sent romantic Valentine’s Day cards from the husband to his female neighbors. If convicted, Rowe could face nine years in prison, San Diego County Deputy District Attorney Brendan McHugh said. Rowe has said she never knew she was scaring the couple, according to police, and called her actions “stupid pranks.” She sure has a lot of time on her hands. Maybe if she dedicated that pranking energy to working, saving, and finding better loans, things like getting outbid on a house wouldn’t happen in the first place!
Nikko has never even seen $1 million in his life! Nikko And His Wife Margo Sued By Music Company For A Million LHHATL stars Nikko and former girlfriend Mimi Faust may have brought in a whopping $100k for their shower-rod freaky flick but according to new reports, the reality star will need a little more to pay off a new lawsuit he’s facing… The Jasmine Brand reports: theJasmineBRAND.com has exclusively learned, Nikko has been slapped with a 1.1 million dollar lien, after losing a lawsuit which accused him and his wife of screwing over their music business partners. A music company named Supafly Entertainment sued Nikko and his wife Margo Simms back in 2008. Supafly explained in their lawsuit that they were working with a new band named Test Drive with Nikko and Margo . However, the company says they fronted all the cash for the band to be paid to record an album — including promotions, studio time, song writers, production, website etc. The company said that they then got an offer from Universal Music to sign the band, but Nikko and Margo started making questionable business moves behind the scenes to cut Supafly out of the picture and make a deal without them. However, the plan backfired and no deal was ever made. Sounds like Nikko and his wife have been running game on people for a minute. Mimi better thank Black Jesus that she figured out his scheming azz before she was helping him pay off this $1.1 lawsuit.

Should the teen have been forced to take off his makeup ? Transgender Teen Sues South Carolina DMV For Removing His Makeup Via Gawker reports: A South Carolina 16-year-old is suing the state Department of Motor Vehicles, claiming he was told to remove his makeup before he could have his driver’s license photo taken. Chase Culpepper wears makeup and women’s clothing nearly every day, and identifies as gender non-conforming. The teen says he was told he couldn’t get his driver’s license unless he posed for a clean-faced photo, because his makeup could be considered a “disguise.” “They said he was wearing a disguise,” said Chase’s mom, Teresa Culpepper, who filed suit on his behalf, “It was very hurtful. He was absolutely devastated. That’s who he is 24/7.” The lawsuit (PDF), which names the director of the South Carolina DMV and the manager of the Anderson, S.C., branch where Chase got his license, asks that Chase be allowed to retake his photo with the makeup on. A DMV spokesperson told WYFF that the employees followed a policy that’s been in place since 2009. It reads, “At no time will an applicant be photographed when it appears that he or she is purposely altering his or her appearance so that the photo would misrepresent his or her identity.” Chase and his mom say it’s the photo without makeup that misrepresents his identity. Their lawsuit also seeks to have that policy changed, claiming it’s unconstitutionally overboard and gives too much discretion to DMV employees. It’s 2014 and gender-nonconforming people are going to be a lot more common. These government agencies had better get used to it. Do you think the teen should of had to remove his makeup?
Welcome to AmeriKKKa … New Orleans Cop Shoots Unarmed Black Man Armand Bennet In The Head Via Fox 8 Live reports: An officer who was involved in a Monday shooting that left a man hospitalized turned off her body camera just before the incident. New Orleans police said Officer Lisa Lewis got into a fight with a man during a traffic stop on Mimosa Court in Algiers. During the altercation, she shot 26-year-old Armand Bennet in the forehead. Bennet’s attorney, Nandi Campbell, said her client never resisted, and she claims the officer fired a second shot at her client as he ran away. The officer’s attorney countered that Lewis had turned her body camera off because her shift was about to end and she was on her way back to the Fourth District station when she initiated the traffic stop that led to the shooting. “What good is the camera if officers are able to take them off and just put them on the side?” Campbell asked. “There’s supposed to be some sort of checks and balances, so if we have an officer who has no problems shooting at a man two times. Why should I be surprised that she took the camera off? I’m not surprised at all.” It’s unclear yet if there’s any other video from the scene. “We want the officers to wear body cameras when they’re engaged with somebody in the public, and we know many times that is going to happen and sometimes things happen very fast and they might not be able to,” according to NOPD Chief Ronal Serpas. “But I don’t know yet. I haven’t seen this case.” Serpas said Lewis and the suspect had gotten into a scuffle a week before Monday’s incident, and Bennett got away. He said that prompted the NOPD to issue four different warrants for Bennet, which led to Monday’s stop. The shooting and the events that led up to it are under investigation. At what point do we as a nation question the people who are supposed to be protecting and serving us????
Are you a #NewBlack ? African American Celebrities Who Think They Are New Black It must be nice to live in this bleak world rocking designer rose-colored sunglasses because race doesn’t seem to exist. Pharrell Williams recently defined the phenomenon of being a Black person who is able to live beyond their own skin color: “A ‘new black’ is someone who doesn’t blame other races for our issues. The ‘new black’ dreams and realizes that it’s not a pigmentation; it’s a mentality. And it’s either going to work for you, or it’s going to work against you. And you’ve got to pick the side you’re gonna be on.” Oh. Too bad racial profiling, structural racism and bigots don’t give a mighty morphing fawk if you consider yourself a “pre-owned black” or “new black.” Hit the flip to check out some African American celebrities who believe their Blackness ceases to exist just because they are famous, wealthy or live in their own little unicorn and rainbow filled race-free bubble….
WTF!?!? Woman Crashes Car Into Cyclist And Hides Drugs In Private Parts Via NBC San Diego reports: A wrong-way motorist accused of driving under the influence of meth and hitting and injuring multiple cyclists on Fiesta Island in San Diego was found with a baggie of meth hidden in her vagina, a deputy district attorney said Friday. Theresa L. Owens, looking disheveled and distraught, pleaded not guilty at her arraignment on a charge of felony DUI with injury and possession of a controlled substance. “Tell them I’m so sorry,” she whispered to her attorney once the judge ordered her bail and set her next court hearing. Bail was set at $300,000, though Deputy District Attorney Jessica Coto had requested $500,000 bail because of the seriousness of the injuries and the number of people hurt in the crash. Owens’ attorney had requested $200,000 bail, indicating that was the standard amount for those charges. San Diego police said Owens was driving her vehicle on Fiesta Island Road around 6:30 p.m. Tuesday when her car struck about 10 cyclists in a larger group finishing up a training ride. Six people went to the hospital with injuries, including Juan Carlos Vinolo, who was paralyzed and remains in critical condition. Coto said Owens was acting “erratically” after the crash and was screaming, running around and rambling. When she was checked out at the hospital, a nurse found a bag of meth hidden in her vagina, leading to the possession charge, Coto said. Several of the cyclists attended Friday’s arraignment, including Logan Bass, who was clipped by the front end of the car and suffered a contusion to his ribs, road rash on his elbow and a cut on his foot. “I’m definitely lucky just looking at Juan. That was me for sure if I didn’t react,” he said. Bass said he normally feels safe on Fiesta Island when he takes part in the weekly Tuesday night cycling runs with the San Diego Bicycling Club. “This just happened to be an unfortunate night,” he said. If convicted, Owens could face a maximum punishment 12 years and eight months in prison. You can’t be serious!!!!
