Words were exchanged when the female driver tried to back her car into an open spot at the gas station. According to one of the victim, Marcus Chukuwuu, the words ‘Don’t kill me,” were said to the woman. She replied, ‘If I wanted to kill you I’d shoot you, I won’t run you over.”
On the video, Marcus is seen going into the gas station’s store and when he returned, the woman plowed into him and the other victim. As the two men laid on the ground suffering from their injuries, the woman casually exited the gas station and disappeared.
The man wanted to commit a mass killing on the streets on New York. When he was arrested, he had a suicide note saying he wanted to “die in combat.”
In Texas, thanks to their Open Carry laws, this man would have been allowed to walk the streets with his assault rifles in full view, but New York is not the wild, wild west, and a potential mass carnage was avoided.
Victor Greer, 46, of Reading, Pa., was pulled over about 1:15 a.m. while driving the wrong way down a one-way street — he was headed north on Seventh Ave. near Grove St., police said.
Inside his vehicle, cops found a .9-mm pistol, a pump-action shotgun and a box of ammo in addition to the AR-15 rifles — a high-powered killing machine that has been used in some of America’s recent mass killings.
His suicide note read: “I want to die in combat, so I can go to heaven and meet God,” according to police.
When you’re so against providing contraceptive to your female employees that you take your case all the way to the Supreme Court, you better make sure your business dealings and squeaky clean and represent those strong beliefs. Hobby Lobby’s business dealings are not squeaky clean.
Claiming religious beliefs, Hobby Lobby took issues with the Obamacare provision requiring contraception be part of an employee’s health care package. They took their case all the way to the Supreme Court and earlier this week the Supreme Court agreed that, base on Hobby’s religious beliefs, the company did not have to provide contraception to its employees. But when Mother Jones did some digging a few months ago, they found out that Hobby Lobby is making millions of dollars from… get this… contraception!
Mother Jones found that Hobby Lobby’s retirement plan had more than $73 million invested in companies that produced emergency contraception pills. It was that same type of birth control that Hobby Lobby said it had an objection to when it took its case to the Supreme Court. CNN needed some answers and put Hobby Lobby and their hypocrisy on full blast!
Enter CNN host Ashleigh Banfield.
“The critics are calling Hobby Lobby’s 401(k) investments hypocrisy at its finest,” Banfield emphasized on Wednesday, adding that CNN had not gotten an explanation from the company after giving it “plenty of time” to respond.
“I don’t even know where to begin on this one,” the CNN host remarked. “I kept thinking to myself, this had to be an accident. But then I thought, it’s no accident when you are in the middle of the biggest political storm — all the way to the Supreme Court — and, yet, your guys aren’t aware of what your investments are in your very, very large 401(k)?”
CNN Business Correspondent Alison Kosik said that it was possible that Hobby Lobby’s investments in contraception makers could have initially been an oversight, but she noted that the company could ask its mutual fund manager to forbid investments in certain companies.
“It would mean that Hobby Lobby employees would most likely have higher fees,” Kosik pointed out. “But if you ask me, my thought is, if they’re that fervent about upholding their biblical principles, maybe that should include their investments to.”
“That’s putting their money where their mouth is,” she concluded.
After his record breaking performance at the World Cup yesterday, where Tim Howard saved the USA Team even more embarrassment with his 16 saves, there is now a petition to rename an airport after him.
I’m all for it, because the airport they want to rename is the Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport.
From the petition.
“Whereas Tim Howard has shown himself to be a national treasure, Minister of Defense, Friend of [Vice President] Joe Biden, and the holder for the record of most saves in a World Cup match; Therefore, we politely request that we rename the airport to recognize his accomplishments, and meritorious service to the United States of America.”

A Phoenix man is suing a Maricopa County Sheriff’s deputy after he says the deputy collided with his truck and then handcuffed the plaintiff when he tried to write down the deputy’s license-plate number.
Detective Steve Chervenak’s denies the allegations of assault, false imprisonment and civil-rights violations, and instead claims the driver was combative, forcing Chervenak to detain him for safety concerns. The case is making its way through federal court.
Thomas Kasper said he was driving northbound on Seventh Street approaching Adams Street on May 1, 2013, when construction barricades funneled traffic into one lane.
Kasper says an unmarked Chevrolet Blazer — later determined to be driven by Chervenak — attempted to cut in the merging line but no cars were allowing him to do so.
Kasper followed the lead of the cars in front of him, but said Chervenak made his move anyway and hit the rear of Kasper’s truck.
Kasper got out to exchange information and write down the Blazer’s license-plate number, but was met with an angry, plainclothes detective, the suit says. It says Chervenak began yelling at Kasper and ordered him back to his vehicle.
Chervenak claimed to be a deputy but produced no badge, the lawsuit says.
“I said, ‘How do I know that?’ And he didn’t say anything,” Kasper said in an interview.
When Kasper failed to comply with his demands, Chervenak retrieved a pair of handcuffs, pushed Kasper against the vehicle and clamped the cuffs over his wrists, the suit says.
Kasper, still uncertain if he was being detained by a real deputy, said he started yelling at passers-by to call 911 and get uniformed officers on the scene.
“It was kind of surreal that I would have to do that,” he said. “I was angry, but I had to stay calm, because if I did anything, it was just going to get worse.”
Phoenix police officers arrived, Kasper said, as well as uniformed deputies from the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office. Kasper said he remained in handcuffs for about an hour until another Sheriff’s Office deputy arrived with a key.
President Obama continued calling out the no-good, non-working Republican Party in Congress. This time, correctly blaming them for not doing anything to improve our crumbling infrastructure.
“I haven’t heard a good reason for why they haven’t acted,” Obama said of the lawmakers in a speech in front of the Key Bridge, which connects Washington to Arlington, Virginia. “It’s not like they’re busy with other stuff.”
The president once again stood his grounds in reference to using his constitutionally awarded executive order authority, and he dared Boehner to go through with his lawsuit.
“As long as they’re doing nothing, I’m not going to apologize for doing something,” Obama said. He added, “So sue me.”
