Alabama Pastor Murders Wife, Wounds Daughter, But Fails To Stab Himself To Death

A Pastor? Are you kidding me? A Pastor…?

GARDENDALE | A prominent Alabama pastor fatally shot his wife and wounded their 18-year-old daughter in their church-owned home before grabbing a kitchen knife and trying to stab himself to death, police said Friday.

The Rev. Terry Greer, 54, is being charged with murder in the slaying of 52-year-old Lisa Greer and attempted murder in the wounding of Suzanna Greer, a University of South Alabama student, according to police in Gardendale, a suburb about 10 miles north of Birmingham.

Greer is senior pastor at Gardendale-Mount Vernon United Methodist Church near Birmingham. Prominent in Methodist circles in the area, he leads a church with an average Sunday attendance of about 670.

After Greer opened fire on his wife and daughter Thursday, the teenager grabbed the gun and ran to a neighbor’s house to alert authorities, police said.

The minister then grabbed a kitchen knife and went to a bathroom, where he repeatedly stabbed himself in his chest and neck, police said. Responding officers stopped Greer and took him into custody.

Kobe Bryant And Wife Calls Off Divorce – “We Have Reconciled” Wife Says…

The message that Kobe Bryant and his wife Vanessa were back together came via Social Media. Vanessa used her Instagram to send out the following message:

The Lakers Basketball star was accused of a sexually assaulting a 19-year-old woman in a Colorado hotel back in 2003. He maintained his innocence and claimed that the sexual act was consensual. The charges were later dismissed when the victim decided not to go through with the case.

Vanessa Bryant however filed for divorce in 2011 citing ““irreconcilable differences.” Apparently those differences have been reconciled.

Public Health Flu Emergency Declared In New York

ALBANY, N.Y. — Gov. Andrew Cuomo declared a public health emergency in New York on Saturday in response to this year’s severe flu season.

Cuomo issued an executive order allowing pharmacists to provide flu shots to patients between the ages of six months and 18 years old. The order suspends state law that restricts pharmacists from administering the vaccinations to minors.

Two children in New York and 18 children nationwide have died because of the flu this season.

To date, 19,128 cases of influenza have been reported in New York this year. In comparison, there were 4,404 positive laboratory tests for the flu last year.

Since Jan. 5, the state Department of Health has received reports of 2,884 patients hospitalized with laboratory-confirmed influenza, compared with 1,169 total hospitalizations in 2011.

Customer Fails To Leave A Tip – Blames President Obama Instead


After eating the meal, a customer handed this note to the server. The note was later posted on Reddit. A Reddit user called Blind_Name captures the sentiment of the average person reading this note, by commenting with:

The interesting thing about the tax increase is that they increase on the money that you make beyond 250k. So you make 251k a year, you pay more taxes on the 1k. So the people leaving these around are still rich assholes.

Yep. Couldn’t have said it any better.

White House Answers Petition To Secede – No, You Can’t

The White House politely shot down the secession petitions circulating on the White House petition website late Friday, dashing the hopes of malcontents who have submitted petitions to allow their states to withdraw from the union in the wake of President Obama’s reelection last November.

“Democracy can be noisy and controversial. And that’s a good thing,” wrote Jon Carson, director of the White House’s Office of Public Engagement. “Free and open debate is what makes this country work…But as much as we value a healthy debate, we don’t let that debate tear us apart.”

Carson offered the would-be secessionists a history lesson, explaining that the Constitution guarantees “the right to change our national government through the power of the ballot – a right that generations of Americans have fought to secure for all. But they did not provide a right to walk away from it.”

He also invoked the sad history of the Civil War as a cautionary tale for those who would so casually seek a repeat of our bloodiest conflict, writing, “More than 600,000 Americans died in a long and bloody civil war that vindicated the principle that the Constitution establishes a permanent union between the States.”

Whom So Ever Shall Conspire Against Us

911
CONSPIRACIES

“Just because you’re paranoid and you think they are after you…doesn’t mean they’re not after you.” 

A healthy dose of suspicion and skepticism never hurt anyone. In fact, you might say that its good for you. If you believe in Einstein’s Theory of Evolution, the human genome would have never made it outside the primordial soup if it hadn’t had a basic hunch (well, as much a hunch as a complex, organic polymer could have) to access the hostilities of a new environment and gradually mutate, adapt and conform to it. Its in our DNA to be suspicious of things that “just don’t smell right.”

Grounded in our primitive nature is the capacity to be wary of the bigger, more powerful among us (predators) conspiring against the weaker, smaller among us (prey). We like to use words like “civilized”  and “cultured” when describing ourselves, but in actuality we use them to convince ourselves that we are no longer the ‘animals’ that we once were. But our Merriam Webster definition of those adjectives do not do much to subdue a compulsion to behave the exact opposite. WE ARE greater than that, but we haven’t as of yet embraced it fully as a group. Watch any episode of Animal Planet and see if some of the behavioral patterns of our fellow creatures seem somehow familiar...

This is not meant to sound harsh, because there’s really nothing for us to be ashamed of. We are what we are after all, and there is only room to evolve even further until we reach our pinnacle, whatever  and wherever that may be.

As mentioned earlier, our base instincts are what keeps us alive in this physical world, so by Human standards a little paranoia is a damn good thing. Read the rest of this entry

President’s Weekly Address – Ending The War In Afghanistan And Rebuilding America

Following his meeting with President Hamid Karzai, President Obama used his weekly address to update the American people on how we will end the war in Afghanistan, and how our goal of ensuring that al Qaeda never again uses Afghanistan to launch attacks against America is within reach. The war will be over by the end of next year, and we must now focus on the task of rebuilding America, strengthening our economy, and supporting our brave troops and veterans, and the President is confident we can meet these challenges by working together as a nation.

Man Who Promised To “Start Killing People” If Gun Laws Are Passed, Lost His Carry Permit

So much can happen in 24 hours.

Yesterday, we told you about the Tennessee CEO who went on YouTube and made a video promising to “start killing people” if anyone, especially the Obama administration, tries to implement gun control laws. Well today,Tennessee officials suspended the lunatic’s carry permit.

A West Tennessee man can no longer legally carry a a handgun, after he made threatening posts on the internet site YouTube.

The Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security announced Friday that they had suspended James Yeager’s handgun carry permit.

Yeager, 42, of Camden, posted videos claiming he would “start killing people” if the Obama administration took executive action to pass gun control measures.

Officials said the decision to suspend Yeager’s handgun carry permit was based on a “material likelihood of risk of harm to the public” (TCA 39-17-1352).

“The number one priority for our department is to ensure the public’s safety. Mr. Yeager’s comments were irresponsible, dangerous, and deserved our immediate attention. Due to our concern, as well as that of law enforcement, his handgun permit was suspended immediately. We have notified Mr. Yeager about the suspension today via e-mail. He will receive an official notification of his suspension through the mail,” Commissioner Bill Gibbons said.

Alligator Found Guarding $100,000 Worth of Marijuana

SAN FRANCISCO — Authorities in Northern California made a snappy discovery during a routine probation check: An alligator-like reptile named “Mr. Teeth,” who was apparently protecting a stash of marijuana.

When Alameda County Sheriff’s deputies entered the Castro Valley home on Tuesday, they not only found 34 pounds of marijuana valued at an estimated $100,000, but also the 5-foot-long caiman inside a Plexiglas tank guarding it in a bedroom.

Caimans are usually found in the wetland regions of Central and South America. They’re considered close relatives of alligators.

“We get guard dogs all the time when we search for grow houses and people stashing away all types of dope. But alligators? You just don’t see that every day,” Sgt. J.D. Nelson said Thursday.

Assif Mayar was arrested on suspicion of possessing marijuana for sale. He could also face citations from the California Fish and Game Commission, including possession of an exotic animal without a permit.

The 32-year-old told deputies he got the creature to commemorate rapper Tupac Shakur’s 1996 death.
