For The Comic Book Nerds: Marvel Is Auctioning Off Over 800 Props From Their Cancelled Netflix Shows

Source: Derrick Salters/WENN.com / WENN You Can Now Buy Some Props From Your Favorite Marvel Netflix Show A lot of fans were disappointed by the cancellations of numerous Marvel TV shows within the past year or so, but luckily for those same people, this is actually good news for memorabilia collectors. Marvel and Prop Store have teamed up to auction off over 850 authentic props  from the cancelled Netflix shows, which includes items from  Daredevil , Luke Cage , and Iron Fist . The auction includes costumes, set decorations, and props from Marvel’s recently nixed Netflix lineup, according to reports from The New York Post . One of the most expensive items in the catalog is the first iteration of Matt Murdock’s Daredevil costume, which starts at $10,000 and is estimated to bring in a smooth $30,000-$50,000.  Beyond that, the tank where Luke Cage was experimented on starts at $6,000 with estimates a sale between $12,000 and $15,000. But if you’re not looking to drop thousands of dollars on these props, there are plenty of more affordable items including Murdock’s cassette recorder starting at $150 and Elektra Natchios’ robe at $250. While online bidding for these items has already started, prospective buyers can also register for absentee bidding or bid over the phone during the live television auction on August 12-13. Marvel pulled the plug on its Netflix shows last year, which included Daredevil , Luke Cage , Iron Fist , Jessica Jones , and The Punisher . Many fans thought that the cancellation of these shows–or at least some of them–was only temporary so Marvel could take them over to their own upcoming streaming service, but now that they’re selling crucial set items that’s starting to look less likely.

Kamala Harris Plans On Investing $100 Billion Into Black Homeownership Programs & Initiatives

Source: Ted Soqui / Getty Kamala Harris Has A Plan To Invest In Black Homeownership According to CNN , California Sen. Kamala Harris unveiled a $100 billion plan to invest in black homeownership. Harris would reportedly invest $100 billion of federal money into housing assistance for black families as part of an effort to close the racial wealth gap in the United States. Harris tweeted: “A typical black family has just $10 of wealth for every $100 held by a white family,” she said. “So we must right that wrong and, after generations of discrimination, give black families a real shot at homeownership — historically one of the most powerful drivers of wealth in our country.” Harris’ housing program would come in the form of U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development grants limited to families with incomes up to $100,000, or $125,000 in high-cost areas. Harris also pledged to work to expand HUD’s fair housing program, strengthen anti-discrimination lending laws and amend the Fair Credit Reporting Act to require that credit scores include rent, phone and utility payments.

License To Dip: Grace Jones Reportedly Leaves James Bond Set Because She Didn’t Have Enough Lines

Source: Mark Metcalfe / Getty Grace Jones Reportedly Quits ‘Bond 25’ Because Her Role Wasn’t Big Enough Ms. Grace Jones will not be relegated to the background. According to sources from The Sun , the iconic performer walked off the set of the new James Bond movie, Bond 25 , because she didn’t have enough lines. Jones already has Bond experience thanks to her role as the villain May Day in 1985’s A View To A Kill.  The 70-year-old diva was expected to make an epic comeback in the new Bond 25 movie. However, sources say she was not satisfied with her role in the film. It’s a shame too, considering the crew spent loads of money making sure her stay was comfortable. According to sources, the production secured a luxury residence for Ms. Jones to stay in near Pinewood Studios in Buckingshamshire. “Of course, she comes with a reputation, so they organized premium accommodation and rolled out the red carpet on set to make her feel welcome,” one source said. “But it turns out Grace was expecting to play a bigger role in the movie and took her brief cameo as a slight. She was out of there quicker than it takes to rustle up a martini.” Damn. Grace’s cameo was first rumored back in April and it was expected to involve a scene with Daniel Craig . Ever since the movie started production, things have been pretty hectic. The original director of the movie, Danny Boyle , quit in August 2018 over the direction of the script. Then, earlier this month, outrage erupted on set after Boyle’s replacement, Cary Fukunaga , skipped filming to play on his Playstation, according to sources. This is a rumor he eventually denied , however. Despite all the chaos, Bond 35 is still scheduled to hit theaters on April 3 of next year.

So Sad: New Father Is Fatally Shot After Visiting His Premature Twins In Hospital

Source: Oppenheim Bernhard / Getty Father Is Fatally Shot In Reported Random Act Of Violence After Visiting His Premature Twins A young father was tragically killed after welcoming newborn twins into the world. According to The Courier-Journal , Tyrese Garvin was taken off life support at University of Louisville Hospital, the same place his twins were born just two weeks earlier. Garvin was shot while walking in the streets of Smoketown, Kentucky. He had just finished visiting his newborns, who were born prematurely, when he was shot by three teenagers, according to community activist Christopher 2x. For the updated story with more details on Tyrese Garvin’s tragic death that @TobinBen reported on yesterday, see https://t.co/NMA0yMZu7T via @courierjournal — Billy Kobin (@Billy_Kobin) June 29, 2019   After Garvin was shot, he was rushed to the University of Louisville Hospital and put on life support. When family members decided to take him off, the mother brought the newborn twins from the maternity ward to Garvin’s bedside for his final breaths. “He was just a random choice that these teenagers chose to shoot,” 2X told The Courier-Journal . “This kid was loving life, and there’s no reason for him to be shot like that.” The Louisville Metro Police have arrested three male teens between the ages of 14 and 17, who allegedly shot Garvin. “Tyrese was taken from us way too soon, as he was a victim of the ongoing gun and gang violence surrounding the Louisville area,” Garvin’s family wrote on a  GoFundMe page they started to help raise funeral costs and medical bills. “May god bless this beautiful soul,” his family concluded in their loving tribute. “We love you Tyrese.” Balling for a Cause , a group started to help get at-risk kids off the streets, is also collecting baby items and clothes to help the mother of Garvin’s newborn babies. Items can be sent or dropped off at the Chestnut Street Family YMCA.

Eric Giese, a 12-year veteran of the village’s Police Department. Giese has been a sergeant for a year and a half. He was placed on administrative leave immediately following the incident. On Thursday night, hundreds of people gathered at the corner of Racine and 20th streets to remember Tyrese . Community advocate Tory Lowe gave an emotional speech to the crowd, saying: “We want justice for Tyrese. We want answers, and the only way we’re going to get the answers is if we demand the answers. Tyrese was stopped for riding a bike,” Lowe said. “And he ended up with two shots in his head. How do we know that he got two shots in his head? Because the body was released to the family.

Lexus Stagg was charged with criminally negligent homicide after her “3-year-old child ran behind her vehicle as she backed out of her parking spot,” on June 11th. Surveillance video from a nearby apartment complex allegedly shows Stagg getting into her SUV before driving in reverse. As her three kids began running after her, she slowly drove the SUV forward. While two kids evaded the vehicle, the 3-year-old got stuck beneath a tire. A neighbor of Stagg, expressed his grief over the death of the little boy, but made it clear that Stagg was not a great mother. The neighbor recalls: “I felt bad because those parents, they were never there, they were kind of negligent..The kids were always out here without supervision.” Two of Stagg’s older children have been placed with relatives while Stagg was arrested and faces a prison term of up to 10 years, if found guilty.

This Is America: “ICE” Will Reportedly Begin Immigrations Raids Across 10 Majors Cities This Weekend

Source: Brian van der Brug / Getty ‘ICE’ To Being Arresting And Deporting Immigrants As Soon As Sunday According to CNN , Trump has ordered ICE agents to launch a nationwide crack down on migrant families across ten cities starting at the end of the week (June 23). The operation is reportedly being referred to as the “family op” by ICE and the Department of Homeland Security.   ….long before they get to our Southern Border. Guatemala is getting ready to sign a Safe-Third Agreement. The only ones who won’t do anything are the Democrats in Congress. They must vote to get rid of the loopholes, and fix asylum! If so, Border Crisis will end quickly! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 18, 2019 A reported 2000 migrant families are facing deportation orders in the target cities of Houston, Chicago, Miami, Los Angeles, and a number of other “major immigration destinations.” ICE agents will use hotel rooms as “staging areas” to detain parents and children until they’ve collected all members of the families together. Donald Trump “surprisingly” announced the operation on Monday via twitter. Outside of the controversial decision to detain the families, that camps that these families are shipped off too are extremely dangerous and inhumane. This administration has established concentration camps on the southern border of the United States for immigrants, where they are being brutalized with dehumanizing conditions and dying. This is not hyperbole. It is the conclusion of expert analysis https://t.co/2dWHxb7UuL — Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) June 18, 2019

You Had One Job: Police Officer Fired After Failing To Locate Kidnapped 8-Year-Old In The Room He Searched

Source: Star Tribune via Getty Images / Getty Police Officer Fired For Not Being Able To Locate Kidnapped Girl A police officer in Texas has been fired from his job after he searched the hotel room where a kidnapped 8-year-old girl was being held captive and somehow didn’t find her. Officer Richardson Wolfe was placed on indefinite suspension — which is the civil service equivalent of termination — for mishandling the case of the young girl, who was later brought to safety. Forest Hills Police Chief Dan Dennis confirmed that Wolfe was released from the department on Wednesday, according to reports from NBC 5 . It all happened when Wolfe responded to an emergency call at a hotel just after midnight on May 19. An hour before the call, an Amber Alert had been sent out for the kidnapping of the young girl, who was snatched by a man later identified as Michael Webb. According to police, Webb dragged the child into his car and threw her mother out of the vehicle when she jumped in to try to fight him off. Someone at WoodSprings Suites recognized Webb from the Amber Alert and notified a desk clerk, who then called the police. When Wolfe arrived at the scene, he allegedly knocked on Webb’s hotel room door first, and was eventually let inside. “Upon entry into the room, the officers made visual inspection of the areas of the room that appeared to be large enough to conceal the missing child,” the police said in a press release. “They did not locate any other occupants inside the room. With no one located and no other information available, the officers cleared the scene.” Two hours later, Forest Hill police received another tip and at about 2am, more officers returned to the kidnapper’s hotel room. About six minutes later, Fort Worth police officers arrived too, and police confirmed that the child was located with Michael Webb a short time later. The tip that led to the rescue of the little girl came in from Jeff King, a local pastor who was friends with the girl’s parents. King had asked a detective if there was anything he could do to help find the missing girl, and the detective told him to check parks, hotels and apartments. “We had been checking parks all night and [WoodSprings Suites] was the second hotel we checked,” King said in a press conference. “I feel like God allowed me to be a tool.” Webb was charged with aggravated kidnapping and six counts of sexual assault of a child. He was expected to plead guilty but changed his mind at the eleventh hour and will now cop his plea on June 26, according to CBS 11 . He is facing 20 years to life in prison. Forest Hills Police are expected to release further details about the case as soon as they can.
