SMH: Malcolm X’s Daughter Held On $100K Bail For Forgery And Foolishness

A daughter of slain civil rights leader Malcolm X has been extradited to New York City to face charges of identity theft and grand larceny. Malikah Shabazz was held on $100,000 bail after a court appearance Wednesday night in Queens. Shabazz waived extradition from North Carolina, where she was arrested last week on a warrant issued more than a year ago. She is accused of defrauding the widow of one of her father’s former bodyguards out of more than $55,000 in credit card bills. The 45-year-old Shabazz was arrested Feb. 18 after investigators went to her home in western North Carolina on an unrelated matter. That’s when authorities found out about the warrant. Her lawyer says his client denies the charges. Her case has been adjourned to March 15. Source

The Pot Has Called The Kettle Black: Former President Of MAAD Arrested For…What Else? DUI!

Bossip Word of The Day: “Hypocrite”, spelled D-E-B-R-A O-B-E-R-L-I-N Meet Debra Oberlin. The 48-year-old realtor, a native of Gainesville, Florida — and former president of its’ local Mothers Against Drunk Driving chapter — was arrested in connection with driving under the influence, RadarOnline.com has learned. Oberlin was pulled over by police at 1:10 am ET February 18 after officers reported seeing her driving erratically, swerving and crossing lanes, according to the area’s local paper, The Gainesville Sun. Oberlin’s field sobriety test told the rest of the story, the paper reported, as she rang up between a .234 and .239 blood-alcohol level, far surpassing the state’s legal limit of .08. In an exclusive statement to RadarOnline.com, a spokesperson for MADD responds to Oberlin’s arrest: “MADD is concerned to hear about the recent alleged drunk driving arrest of Debra Oberlin. MADD commends law enforcement for their efforts to keep our roads safe and are hopeful that no one was hurt as a result of this incident. In 2009 alone, nearly 11,000 lives were lost due to drunk driving and another 400,000 people were injured in alcohol-related crashes in the U.S. It is our hope that this recent occurrence will serve as a reminder to others to plan ahead for a safe ride if their plans include alcohol.” In addition, MADD says that Ms. Oberlin’s term as chapter president of MADD was nearly 20 years ago and she was serving in a volunteer capacity. Oberlin’s MADD chapter closed in 1996 due to lack of financial support; she’d served atop the branch for three years. Ain’t that about a b*tch. The court needs to charge her a couple extra stacks for having the nerve to be DUI in the first place. via RadarOnline

Jesus Take The Wheel: Atlanta Area Police Arrest A Man Who Gave A 15-Year-Old Boy A Pistol To Kill His Girlfriend

You would think that an adult would try to help the boy understand his feelings, not enable him…SMH A 21-year-old man has been charged with giving a boy a gun that he used to kill his girlfriend, Clayton County authorities say. Robert Allen Bethune is charged with furnishing or permitting a minor to possess a pistol or revolver, and contributing to the delinquency of a minor. Bethune is scheduled to appear in Magistrate Court at 1:30 p.m. Wednesday. Police received a chilling phone call late Monday afternoon from a 15-year-old boy telling them his friend had been shot. Officers arrived at the scene to find a 16-year-old girl with a fatal gunshot wound to the chest, Clayton police spokeswoman Tina Daniel said. The shooting occurred in a wooded area behind a home in the 4100 block of Dunn Road in Ellenwood. “There was some sort of argument that ensued and he ended up shooting the 16-year-old,” Daniel said. The two high school students apparently were dating. The 15-year-old confessed to the shooting, Daniel said, and helped lead police to the firearm, which he had dropped in a nearby creek. It was recovered by the Clayton police dive team late Tuesday morning. The shooter has not been charged but remains in police custody, Daniel said. Because of the nature of the crime, he could be charged as an adult. The identities of the shooter and victim are being withheld pending the investigation’s completion, Daniel said. We hope this piece of sh*t gets a nice lonnnnng “vacation” out of this sad situation. Source

Sick F**ker Admits To Killing His 49th Victim Almost 20 Years Ago!

49?!?!?!? That says a lot about the cops in Seattle at that time… A ruthless killer serving 48 life terms in a Washington state prison confessed to his 49th murder on Friday. Gary Ridgway, dubbed the Green River Killer for his sick strangling spree targeting young women and girls in the Seattle area during the 1980s, admitted murdering Rebecca Marrero in 1982, when she was 20 years old. The 62-year-old monster confessed to the crime as part of a 2003 plea deal that spared him the death penalty. Marrero’s case went cold since she was last seen leaving a motel almost 20 years ago, but last December teenagers found her skull in a ravine south of Seattle, The Associated Press reported. Mary Marrero, the victim’s sister lashed out at Ridgway in court saying, “It makes me sick to my stomach that he beat the system.” She then told the judge, “If I had one thing to ask today, it would be to kill him.” Ridgway’s attempts to apologize were stifled when a man in the courtroom yelled, “Shut your mouth” when he started speaking. Superior Court Judge Mary Roberts sentenced Ridgway to his 49th consecutive life sentence. “I find no compassion,” she told Ridgway. Ridgway was arrested in 2001 and is in solitary confinement. SMH…we’ve gone to hell in a handbasket. Source

What The Hell??? Innocent Business Owner And Attempted Rapist Have The Same Name, Age, Marital Status, And Are From The Same Town!!

Wow…this is actually pretty f*cked up, no jokes here. Robert L. Viggiano, 47, is a happily married man with two kids and a successful plumbing business in Cold Spring, a quaint village of 2,000 in upstate Putnam County. Robert S. Viggiano, 47, is a married father of two, who owns a contracting business in Cold Spring — and was busted this week on a lurid attempted-rape charge of trying to arrange sex with a 10-year-old girl. The unfortunate coincidence has turned Robert L.’s life into a living hell. “It’s been devastating,” Robert L. told The Post. “There were reporters knocking on our neighbors’ doors, asking if they knew that I had been soliciting sex from 10-year-old girls. When you hear it on the radio, everyone thinks it is me. My cousins called my aunts, who called my sisters. It’s been absolute hell.” Yonkers cops said the real suspect, from Fishkill in Dutchess County, showed up Tuesday with candy and $400 to meet with what he thought was a mom willing to sell her daughter for sex. But “Mom” turned out to be an undercover Yonkers cop posing as a depraved junkie willing to sell her little girl to a pervert, and Robert S. was busted. Being a small business owner that bears his name, Viggiano has had to do a lot to get his name clear of the heinous charges. Good Robert now has his work cut out for him to repair his unfairly tarnished reputation. “Some people don’t believe me. My friend says his mother-in-law said, ‘It must be him, they have the same name!’ and on paper, we are the same. Same age, married, two kids. What are the odds?” The publicity has hurt his business, he added. “I was on a job, and it comes over the radio, and people just stared at me,” he said. “I says: ‘But it’s not me! That guy’s in jail, and I’m here.’ “ The horrific nature of the allegations makes everything worse. Good luck sir, you probably haven’t seen the last of this strange coincidence. Source

Kush Chronic-les: Does The Ganja Lead To Early Schizophrenia???

These scientists nowadays will try to convince you that everything you eat, smell, and drink is going to do something crazy to you. Many studies have linked marijuana use with early onset of psychosis. The question is, does smoking marijuana cause earlier psychosis? A new review of 83 studies involving more than 22,000 participants seeks an answer. The meta-analysis found that people who smoked marijuana developed psychotic disorders an average 2.7 years earlier than people who did not use cannabis. But the review also found that people who used any illegal drug suffered psychosis two years earlier than non-users, not a large difference. While alcohol use was not associated with early onset, the studies reviewed could not rule out the influence of cigarette smoking, which is a common habit of people with psychotic disorders and those who smoke marijuana. In many of the countries from which the data was gathered, in fact, cannabis is typically smoked mixed with tobacco. The researchers argue that cigarette smoking—unlike marijuana— does not worsen hallucinations or paranoia in patients with schizophrenia, so they believe that tobacco does not account for earlier onset. Led by Mathew Large of the University of New South Wales in Australia, the authors of the new research review also focused on other factors that may have contributed to the association between pot smoking and early psychosis in previous studies. For instance, it’s known that men are both more likely to take drugs and to develop psychosis at an earlier age than women, and the preponderance of men in past studies might have contributed to the connections found. It’s also known that young people, including those who have schizophrenia, are more likely to smoke pot than older folks, so previous studies that put upper age limits on their participants could have overstated the marijuana-psychosis link. But based on the meta-analysis, researchers found that the link persisted independently of these factors. In the paper, published in the Archives of General Psychiatry, they conclude that their results “provide evidence for a relationship between cannabis use and earlier onset of psychotic illness and they support the hypothesis that cannabis use plays a causal role in the development of psychosis in some patients.” We’re not sure that the kush makes you crazy, but we definitely know some folks that are crazy for the kush ! Does the fear of going crazy make you want to quit smoking the piff?? Source
