Jena 6 Defendant Theo Shaw Becomes A Lawyer

I t’s been nearly a decade since a group of Black teenagers—known as the “Jena 6”—were excessively charged for the alleged assault of a white teen in Louisiana following several racist incidents that took place within their school. Their case garnered national attention; putting the focus on racist loopholes within the country’s criminal justice system. For Theo Shaw —one of the individuals who was convicted—experiencing injustice first-hand ignited his passion to pursue a career in law. According to the New Orleans Times-Picayune , Shaw recently became a lawyer. From 'Jena 6' defendant to a promising career, Theo Shaw is officially a lawyer https://t.co/9KWc9wZHbC — NOLA.com (@NOLAnews) April 27, 2019 He was sworn in by Chief Justice Bernette Johnson at the Louisiana Supreme Court on April 26. For Shaw, the swearing-in ceremony inside the courtroom was a full circle moment. In 2006, he sat in a courtroom along with five other Black teens facing an attempted murder charge that could have put him behind bars for 50 years. Through the power of protest and a strong legal team, the felony charges that the teens faced were lowered to misdemeanor charges and Shaw’s criminal record was expunged. Shaw went on to attend community college, he earned his undergraduate degree at the University of Louisiana at Monroe and studied law at the University of Washington. He’s done work with legal advocacy organizations that include the Southern Poverty Law Center and the Innocence Project New Orleans. During the ceremony, Shaw was surrounded by family, friends, and individuals who were instrumental in fighting for his justice. “Being wrongly arrested and incarcerated as a teenager motivated me to become a lawyer,” Shaw told Because of Them We Can in a statement. “After being caged for nearly seven months, I left that jail with a conviction in my heart to stand and fight with all people at risk of losing their freedom.” He hopes that his story will inspire others to make an effort to change the landscape of the criminal justice system.

Blow The Whistle: Angry Harvard Alums Flooded The School With Calls Demanding That People Like Blac Chyna Not Be Accepted

Source: John Shearer / Getty Harvard Grads Outrage Unearthed Blac Chyna’s Business School Hoax Earlier this week we reported that Blac Chyna was accepted into Harvard’s online business classes. Soon after , we reported that Chyna’s “acceptance” was a whole a$$ hoax. One which the internet is STILL mocking her for. Today, TMZ reveals WHY Chyna’s house of student ID cards came tumbling down. Apparently, Harvard graduates were NOT pleased with the idea that the “average Joe” could be enrolled in their school and be credited with one of their pretentious lil’ degrees. Harvard’s Board of Alumni says he received numerous calls from fuming alumnus who wanted the school to take action as they had been lobbying against the online business course for some time now. The outrage is said to have caused the school to investigate and ultimately out Chyna as a liar. It is said that a PR firm offered to take the class on Chyna’s behalf for just $1,000. This was a terrible idea on Chyna’s part, but something about angry white people descending upon her when clearly they have obviously taken issue with others in the past feels kinda gross.

Yes, It’s 2019: Young Buck Threatens To Ja Rule 50 Cent

Source: Prince Williams / Getty 50 Cent has taken his trolling to elite levels, ask Teairra Mari . On this Wednesday, April 24, Young Buck has threatened to “Ja Rule” the Queens rapper after he caught wind of a social media post that mocked his new forthcoming album. Buck is dropping a new project, and Fif decided to bring attention to the release by also mentioning that Buck allegedly had relations with a trans person. “Young buck is almost ready to drop his album. He worked hard on this project, I told him his personal choice to date a tran sexual will confuse some of his core audience but with the support of the LGBT he should be fine. New heat coming soon,” wrote Fif on Instagram. You may recall that 50 Cent previously brought up the claim about Buck’s relations in an audio post that he since deleted . Not that there’s anything wrong with that. While the promo certainly can’t hurt, Buck retorted by using Ja Rule’s name as a verb—while also admitting he was still under contract with Fif. “I thought you was 50 Cent, I thought you had some real n***a tendencies…” said Buck on Instagram Live. “If you such a real n*gga, why don’t you let me go? You understand what I’m saying? And we’ll fight the battle like that… Line me up like Ja Rule. Go bar-for-bar with me, n***a. Play that game, you scared?” After saying he had no time for Fif’s “gay games” and noting the G-Unit rapper/actor was allegedly hindering his career thanks to cease and desists, he eventually added, “We gon see who Ja Rule who bitch.” Looks like they both had time because…petty rappers are going to petty.

Leah Messer: MTV is Making Me Look SO DUMB, Y’All!

The stars of Teen Mom love to complain about MTV, and about how they chose to edit their footage of them. They've been doing it for years, and it doesn't look like they'll be stopping anytime soon. Sometimes the complaints can be valid, like when the cast claims that conversations have been spliced together to make things more dramatic. But like when Jenelle gets mad that producers make her look bad when it's really just that she makes herself look bad? That's a little silly. And Leah Messer's latest complaint, if you can believe it, may be one of the silliest we've heard yet. 1. Jesus God Leah So, OK, let’s be honest … Leah hasn’t been looking so great in recent episodes of Teen Mom 2. 2. Oh Gross This is for a few reasons, but most of them have to do with her boyfriend at the time of filming, Jason Jordan. 3. No Thanks See, a lot of people don’t really care for Jason, or at least they don’t care for his relationship with Leah. 4. Uh Oh It’s just that things moved so fast between them — more on that in a bit — but the thing is that Leah obviously saw an issue with her relationship, since she’s broken up with him twice now. 5. Oh The most recent breakup happened because she said that the relationship was “toxic,” so that’s not great. 6. Slow Down But we’re getting head of ourselves. Let’s reel it back to these recent episodes of the show, the ones in which she’s definitely with Jason. View Slideshow

Single Black Mother Says Her Kids Were Kicked Out Of Christian School Because She ‘Committed Adultery’

An Akron, Ohio, mom claims that her two daughters were kicked out of their private Christian school, some 30 days before summer break, all because she is unmarried. According to WKYC , Summer Grant’s daughters Summara and Summaia, who were fourth and second graders, had gone to Chapel Hill Christian School for years until last Friday. Apparently, an administrator banned her children because he believes she is “living in sin.” “He said it was many reasons and the main one was because I was not married and my children had different fathers,” Grant said. That, and Grant has receipts—she recorded the conversation. “There’s 10 commandments and committing adultery is not part of that,” Pastor Wilson can be heard saying on tape. “It’s not that they should not go to the school it’s that they can’t go to the school.” Grant also told WKYC that her daughters are model students, winning multiple awards and having good grades. And despite an incident on the bus last week, where one her daughters didn’t sit up front when the driver told her to, the children have no real history of disciplinary issues. She claims the Pastor even told her his decision to expel her daughters had nothing to do with that particular incident. “It’s not right. It’s not right,” Grant stressed, adding, “As Christian you are not supposed to judge. You shouldn’t have affected these kids education over that.” This isn’t the first time Pastor Wilson has confronted Grant about her personal life. She claims over the summer he asked why she had three children with three different men. He also had the audacity to give her a list of eight things she needs to do to improve her life. “It wasn’t about whether they had their scholarship in place,” Grant tearfully told the Akron Beacon Journal . “It was more or less about me just not living right. … It was an uncomfortable conversation, but I sat through it because I really wanted my children to go to the school.” Pastor Wilson declined to go on camera with WKYC, but in a statement, he explained  that parents were required to sign a written agreement to reflect a commitment to Christ and the Grant family acted in a manner “inconsistent” with the agreement. In his eyes, the “dismissal was necessary in order to protect the safety of our school children and their families.” In the meantime, Grant says her girls have no school to finish the year out right now. “They don’t have a school,” she said. They don’t have anywhere to go to school right now. I don’t know what to do.” When it comes to next year, she’s not sure if its worth fighting to have her kids back to Chapel Hill Christian School next fall where, “they’re honestly not welcome in.” Last week on Facebook, Grant thanked everyone who had sent her kind words and tried to help her find a new school for her girls. In the end, she just doesn’t want anyone to judge her daughters for her own life decisions. “I really want to thank everyone for any kind words shares messages calls or referrals! This situation has really put me in a bind mentally!!! I can say I’ve done some “not so ok things” in my life,” the mother wrote. Adding, Done some things I probably shouldn’t have but I don’t want to be judged as a bad person! N I especially don’t want my kids to be judged for my actions.” RELATED NEWS: Prosecutors Say South Carolina 5th Grader Died Of Natural Causes, Not From Fight Christian School Apologizes After Teacher Wore Blackface During African History Lesson [WATCH] Empowering Video Of Mother Singing Song To Bullied Son Goes Viral [ione_media_gallery src=”https://hellobeautiful.com” id=”2848104″ overlay=”true”]

Internet Haters Leaked ‘Avengers: Endgame’ Footage On Social Media, Russo Brothers React

Source: Marvel / Disney Marvel fans beware! Internet trolls have taken to social media and have begun leaking actual spoiler footage from the most highly anticipated threequel in the history of comic book cinema, Avengers: Endgame . Is it people down with DC? Maybe the Russians? Knowing Donald Trump’s childlike way of life it could be coming from The White House itself! Either way many fans have accidentally watched these scenes and immediately taken to social media to shed internet tears. I just saw leaked footage avengers endgame and honestly I’m ruined. Man. That sucked. — Quinta. (@quintabrunson) April 16, 2019 Apparently Avengers: Endgame spoilers hit the web. Mute all hashtags. Read your timeline with one eye closed. Do not tweet before you've seen the movie. Delete the Twitter app. Shut down DNS. Cut the submarine internet cables. Burn the internet down. — Rami Ismail (@tha_rami) April 16, 2019 Obviously we’re not going to be posting any of the spoilers (a pox upon the house of those who do), but from what’s being reported all the leaks add up to about 5 minutes worth of scenes which spoil the plot which everyone involved with the film had been trying to guard like an infinity gem in Vormir. Word about the leaked scenes got back to Endgame directors, the Russo brothers, who took to Twitter to plead with fans to refrain from spreading the spoilers while reminding everyone that “Thanos still demands your silence.” #DontSpoilTheEndgame pic.twitter.com/YZhbrwcijJ — Russo Brothers (@Russo_Brothers) April 16, 2019 If anyone doesn’t want to run the risk of accidentally peeping a spoiler they might want to log off of social media until they watch the movie for themselves. You can try just ignoring the potential spoilers but the temptation might prove too much to bare if you don’t have that inner Hulk strength to resist doing it to yourself. Now the only question is, are these same trolls going to be leaking the full unredacted version of that Mueller report.
