Thank God Michael’s Not Here For This: Paris Jackson Upsetting Katherine By Getting Closer With Debbie, Wants To Move In With Her

Paris Jackson Sparks War In Jackson Family Paris if your pappy didn’t what that woman in your life, we’re pretty sure it was for a good reason. According to National Enquirer The late superstar was determined to cut Debbie out of the lives of Paris and her older brother Prince, also born to Debbie, sources say, and Michael even named his mother, now a frail 82 years old, as the children’s legal guardian. But Paris is ignoring her father’s wishes, insiders say, and growing close to Debbie. “Paris is very puzzled as to why Debbie was never part of her life,” a close source told The ENQUIRER. ”All she knew was that Michael never wanted her to have any contact with Debbie. Now she’s on a mission to find out why.” A family source added: “Paris wants to move out of the Jackson compound in Calabasas and live with Debbie. “After having little contact with her for years, Paris is determined to get to know her real mother. It’s infuriating her grandmother.” Debbie worked as a medical assistant in the office of Michael’s dermatologist, and agreed to bear his children after he divorced Lisa Marie Presley. She was pregnant with Prince when she married the “Thriller” singer in November 1996. She gave birth to Paris in April 1998, and when the couple divorced in 1999, Debbie surrendered full custody of the two youngsters to Michael in exchange for $8 million and a house in Beverly Hills. Jackson’s other child, Blanket, was born to a still-unidentified woman. The deal allowed her to see Prince and Paris for eight hours every 45 days, but in 2001 she gave up her parental rights. Debbie sold her Beverly Hills home in 2005, and bought a ranch in rural Palmdale. “Prince is following his dad’s wishes and doesn’t want to establish a relationship with Debbie. But Paris has spent a lot of time with Debbie at her ranch, riding horses, and says she wants a normal life living with her,” the family insider told The ENQUIRER. “But it’ really upsetting Katherine because she knows Michael would not have approved. He paid Debbie off and made her promise to stay away from the children. Now that he’s dead, Debbie is not honoring that agreement, and Katherine is livid!” At the same time, deeply religious Katherine feels for her grandchildren, sources say. “Katherine understands Michael’s wishes,” said the family source. “But she can also see why her grandchildren want to learn more about their mother.” We understand Paris’ need to get to know her real mother, but you got to ask yourself: what mother signs away their kids to see them eight hours a day every 45 days?

Stop The Violence: Best Man Popped By One-Time For Stabbing And Killing Friend’s Wife

Gives a whole new meaning to getting stabbed in the back. Geez. Best Man Arrested For Killing Wife According To Examiner In a fateful turn of events, a best man at a couple’s 2009 wedding has been arrested for stabbing his former friend and his friend’s wife, who has since died of her injuries. The trending searched phrase of ‘Best man fatally stabs bride’ is a story of one-time friends turned enemies. Yahoo! News reported April 24 that 31-year-old Jonathan Broyhill attacked 27-year-old Nation Hahn and his wife, 29-year-old Jamie Kirk Hahn, at their Raleigh home Monday night. Jamie was a North Carolina political strategist who worked for high-profile Democratic candidates. Broyhill reportedly worked with Jamie Hahn at the Democratic firm Sky Blue Strategies, which she founded. A spokesman for WakeMed Hospital in Raleigh, where the couple were taken Monday night, said Wednesday morning that Hahn had died from her injuries. On Wednesday morning, Jamie’s husband, Nation Hahn, mourned his wife’s death on Twitter: “She was my center, my rock and my soulmate.” Nation Hahn was released after being treated for his injuries. Broyhill was arrested and charged with attempted murder and assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill. Broyhill was also being treated for his injuries, after allegedly turning the knife on himself. A murder charge has now been added after Jamie Hahn succumbed to her injuries. Although Raleigh police continue to investigate the motive for the attack, sources say that the murder was over missing money from a former Congressman’s political campaign. Former Democratic U.S. Rep. Brad Miller, who decided not to seek re-election in 2012, said he hired Sky Blue for fundraising help around 2010. Jonathan Broyhill was the main person with access to fundraising software, Miller said. “Some of the things that Jonathan said about the campaign finances were inconsistent with other information,” Miller said Wednesday. “It’s probably the case that Jamie was asking questions on behalf of the campaign about campaign finances. I think it’s bound to be part of the investigation of Jon’s motive.” In October, the Federal Elections Commission sent Miller campaign treasurer John Wallace a letter requesting more information about documents that appeared to show donors receiving refunds from the campaign in excess of what they paid. Those five donors gave a combined $8,250 in the 2012 quarterly report cited by the FEC, but the document shows the five receiving a combined $15,900 in refunds. It’s not clear whether the donors actually received refunds. So he stabbed the bride and he was funny with the money. Can’t trust anybody these days. Examiner

Jesus Take The Wheel: 10-Year-Old Shot Four Times At Birthday Party In Critical Condition

We pray the kid pulls through. Sacramento Boy In Critical Condition After Being Shot At Birthday Party According to CBS Sacramento A 10-year-old boy was shot during a kids’ birthday party and witnesses think the boy may’ve been the intended target. Eric Raya Ramirez is still in critical condition at hospital after he was shot at least four times — in the lower back and leg, say police. A bullet hole is still in the window at a home where Eric was shot on Saturday night. “He’s 10. He didn’t do a thing,” said neighbor Kyle Rus. Kyle lives next door on Whitecliff Way. He says several kids were playing in the front yard when a black Acura pulled up, a man got out, then pointed a gun at Eric and fired. “He was aiming at the kid that’s all we know,” said Rus. That’s when Rus’ twin brother, Bradford, ran out to help. “They wrapped the one on the leg, turned him over and found three on his back. So they held pressure until the ambulance got there,” said Rus. Deputies say Eric was at relative’s birthday party during the incident. Family members who watched in horror as he was gunned down are now by his side in the ICU. “And they were all in so much shock they couldn’t react. My brother and my mom were the only people who moved,” said Rus. Neighbors are very shaken, especially since police don’t have anything to go on other than the car’s appearance. This senseless violence has to stop! ShutterStock

Stop The Violence: 25 Shot In Chicago Over This Past Weekend Despite Homocide Rate Down 69% From 2012

Just when you thought it was all good. 25 Shot In Chicago Over The Weekend Via HuffingtonPost Twenty-five people were wounded in gun violence over the weekend in Chicago amid news that the city’s homicide rate in March was down 69 percent from the previous year. Two of the more than two dozen victims were fatally shot. According to the Chicago Sun-Times, 23-year-old Eugenio Solano was walking in the 1800 block of North Francisco with a 44-year-old man at 8:05 p.m. Friday when a group of three men approached them, asked for directions and opened fire. Solano was shot in the chest and died at the scene, while the other man suffered a non-fatal wound to his hand. Solano — whom his family described as funny, happy and “a people person” — was gunned down the day before hosting a birthday party for his 4-year-old son, according to DNAinfo Chicago. Police say they believe Solano’s fatal shooting was gang-related. In the weekend’s other fatal shooting in Chicago, 19-year-old Akeem Manago was walking with a 23-year-old man in the 1300 block of West Hastings Street in the city’s Little Italy neighborhood around 1:50 a.m. Sunday, when four males are believed to have approached them and opened fire, the Chicago Tribune reports. Manago was pronounced dead shortly thereafter at Stroger Hospital, while the other man was shot in the leg and last listed in good condition. Six other men were shot within an hour of the Little Italy shooting, according to the Tribune. Ironically, today, the city actually had something to be happy about. Meanwhile, Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy announced Monday that homicides in Chicago were down 69 percent last month compared to March 2012, an improvement McCarthy described in a press release as “progress, but they are by no means victory,” ABC Chicago reports. Yeah, don’t let one month of less murders get you hype. Chi-town has a LOT of work to do to permanently lower the body count. Image via Shutterstock

A “Lil Positvity”: Murders In Chicago Are Down 26% Compared To This Same Time Last Year

See what locking up Chief Keef can do for a city? Chicago Murders Down 26% From Last Year Via NBCChicago After Chicago’s murder rate made national headlines last year, the city’s police superintendent announced murders are down 26 percent. That’s compared to where the city was this time last year when murders shot up in the first quarter. Shooting incidents are down 19 percent year over year, Supt. Garry McCarthy said. He said the majority of that can be traced back to guns and violence, which police are trying new tactics to combat. In the past month, narcotics officers on the West Side have done a number of undercover drug buys with a focus on “that H” and crack. One buy ended with 15 gang members in custody and the other led to the arrest of a dozen. The store where the second investigation led to a bust has since been shut down, and McCarthy said that should serve as a warning to other Chicago businesses. “It’s real simple,” McCarthy said. “If you’re engaged in it, you’re going to lose your business. If you’re engaged in facilitating or tolerating these behaviors, you’re going to lose your licenses and we’re going to go after your business.” In the first 10 weeks of 2013, McCarthy said Chicago police took 3,100 guns off the streets. Congratualations to Supt McCarthy and the Chi-town police department. Now we know you all can be as crooked as the day is long, so we hope that these numbers are a true reflection of a decrease in crime and not some math trick that makes it appear that you are actually doing a good job.

Race Matters: Harry Belafonte Says Blacks Should Be More Outraged Over One-Sided Gun Control Conversation

Harry is mad as hell and he’s not gonna take it anymore! Harry Belafonte Says Blacks Should Be Outraged With Gun Control The debate over gun control has been red-hot in America ever since the Sandy Hook school shooting back in December . In the wake of the unconscionable tragedy, the national spotlight shined bright on the issue of gun control and ways to make the country safer. According to Harry Belafonte , the group that suffers the most from gun violence are young African-American children. However, the national media attention fails to reflect how shootings have affected our communities, like the city of Chicago . During his acceptance speech of NAACP’s highest honor, The Springard Medal, Belafonte took time out to push his agenda. Via DemocracyNow “The group that is most devastated by America’s obsession with the gun is African-Americans. Although making comparisons can be dangerous, there are times when they must be noted. America has the largest prison population in the world and the over 2 million men, women, and children that make up the incarcerated, the overwhelming majority of them is black. African-Americans are the most unemployed, the most caught in the unjust systems of justice. And the gun game, they are the most hunted. The rivers of blood that wash the streets of our nation flow mostly from the bodies of our black children. Yet, as the great debate emerges on the question of the gun, white America discusses the constitutional issues of ownership while no one speaks to the consequences of our racial carnage. Where is the outraged voice of black America? Where and why are we muted? Where are our leaders? Where are our legislators? Where is the church …” Handgun hatin’ Harry has a point. We watch these crazy, “ketchup-colored”-neck, country bumpkins rant and rave about how they have a right to own guns every week. We already know they could give two $#!ts about “ni**er” kids dying… Image via zimbio
