Black Racist Attack in New York Leaves White Man Dead

Jeffrey Babbitt

A man has died after being knocked to the ground with a single punch by a stranger in a New York City square.

Jeffrey Babbitt, 62, had been left brain damaged after being punched in Union Square last week in an apparent racist attack.

Mr Babbitt died after allegedly being hit by Lashawn Marten, a 31-year-old African American, who reportedly said that he wanted to attack the next white person who walked by.

The 62-year-old, the sole carer of his 92-year-old mother Hedda, was hit so hard that he fell to the ground but later managed to stand. His condition deteriorated soon afterwards and he died at Bellevue Hospital.

Marten, who has a previous criminal record and uses various aliases, was charged with assault and is due in a Manhattan court on Tuesday. It is likely his charges will now be upgraded.

According to one female witness last week, Marten said: ‘The next white person who walks by I’m going to f***’.

She added: ‘His fist went in and the man’s head bobbed and he hit the ground and you could hear his skull hitting the ground.’

After his racist rant and attack, witnesses said Marten stayed at the park and waited for police to arrive.

Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said Marten’s alleged comments about targeting white people before allegedly punching Mr Babbitt could lead to hate crime charges being made against him.

‘Our Hate Crimes Task Force is involved in aspects of that case,’ he added.

Marten is being held on a $1 million bond as police decide whether to also charge him with a hate crime.

George Zimmerman Walks Again – Wife Fails to Press Charges

George Zimmerman could easily be considered the luckiest man in America.

After murdering Trayvon Martin, Zimmerman walked away a free man. Since then, he’s gotten into various encounters with the police, even one where he was stopped for speeding in Texas, admitted to having a gun in the car, and was sent on his merry way.

Today was no exception. Zimmerman went to his wife’s father’s home, punched her dad in the face, then threatened to kill them all with his gun. Shellie Zimmerman called the cops, but guess what… Zimmerman is getting away with this one too.

No assault charges, Nothing.

“Shellie Zimmerman has declined prosecution,” said the police.

And as for George Zimmerman? Lake Mary police spokesman Zach Hudson said Zimmerman was cooperative.

Until next time folks. I’m sure there will be a next time.

Shellie Zimmerman Calls 911 – George is “threatening all of us with his firearm”

George Zimmerman’s wife has called police to her father’s house, saying the former neighborhood watch volunteer who was acquitted of murder threatened her with a gun.

Lake Mary Police Chief Steve Bracknell says Shellie Zimmerman called police shortly after 2 p.m. Monday from her father’s house on Spurcewood Road.

Listen to the 911 call

In the call, Shellie Zimmerman told dispatchers that George Zimmerman was sitting in his car with his hand on his gun.

“He’s just threatening all of us with his firearm,” she said. “He punched my dad in the nose. My dad has a mark on his face.”

Shellie Zimmerman said her estranged husband then took her iPad and smashed it.

“There’s a Lake Mary’s city worker across the street who I think saw all of it,” she added.

Bracknell says Zimmerman hasn’t been arrested and officers are at the house trying to determine what happened.

Shellie Zimmerman filed for divorce last week. In the divorce petition, Shellie Zimmerman says she and her husband separated a month after Zimmerman was acquitted of any crime for fatally shooting Trayvon Martin.

Since being acquitted, George Zimmerman has been pulled over twice for speeding. His acquittal led to protests nationwide.

New Documentary Claims Pat Robertson Stole Donations

A new documentary called Mission Congo is claiming that Pat Robertson stole donations intended for Rwanda refugees,  and sent those funds to his diamond mine instead.

“Mission Congo,” directed by Lara Zizic and David Turner, was largely inspired by the reporting of journalist Bill Sizemore, who has covered Robertson extensively over the years and uncovered issues with the legitimacy of his nonprofit organization, Operation Blessing International, in the 1990s.

Following the Rwandan genocide, Robertson encouraged viewers of the Christian Broadcasting Network’s “The 700 Club” to donate money to Operation Blessing. He said the organization would be helping the many refugees who’d made their way into Zaire (now the Democratic Republic of the Congo).

But pilots who worked for the organization have claimed that instead of transporting aid, cargo planes were often used to haul equipment for Robertson-backed diamond mining that was going on hundreds of miles away.

In a 2008 article for the Virginia Quarterly Review, Sizemore recalled that one of the pilots had kept notes on some of his trips. During a flight where Robertson was a passenger, one of those notes read, “Prayed for diamonds.”

The documentary’s directors reached out to the pilots and told them their story needed to be told on film. According to a press release for the movie, Zizic and Turner are hoping to draw more attention to what they say was an under-reported scandal.

“Sometimes a story hits you so profoundly that you simply have to act,” the directors said in the release. “We were researching a fiction script when we came across an article mentioning Robertson’s dual activities in Congo. We felt that these activities, and implied level of deception, were unfathomable on so many levels that we had to find out more. How could something like this happen? Why was there not more coverage in the media? How did he get away with it? If it happened then, is it still happening now?

Mike Bloomberg Calls Bill de Blasio’s Campaign Racist

Bill de Blasio and family

New York’s mayor Michael Bloomberg has jumped into the mix, calling Bill de Blasio’s campaign racist.

Bill de Blasio is the leading New York democratic mayoral candidate trying to get Bloomberg’s job.

In an interview with New York magazine, Mr. Bloomberg said he considered it racist of Mr. de Blasio to promote his mixed-race family. Mr. de Blasio’s wife, Chirlane McCray, is black and their teenage son, Dante, appears in his father’s campaign ads.

Mr. Bloomberg added that he did not think that Mr. de Blasio was a racist. But he said, “It’s comparable to me pointing out that I’m Jewish in attracting the Jewish vote.”

At an appearance in Brooklyn on Saturday with his wife and their 18-year-old daughter, Chiara, Mr. de Blasio called Mr. Bloomberg’s remarks “very, very unfortunate and inappropriate.”

“I’m exceedingly proud of my family,” he added. “I hope the mayor will reconsider what he said. I hope he realizes it was inappropriate.”

In her response to the mayor’s comments about her husband’s campaign, Ms. McCray said, “Do I look like an inanimate object? Or a tool? I walk, I talk and make my own decisions.”

After Mr. Bloomberg used the word racist, his interviewer asked what he meant. The mayor tried to clarify his assessment by saying: “No, no, I mean he’s making an appeal using his family to gain support. I think it’s pretty obvious to anyone watching what he’s been doing.”

Dr. Phil’s Child Therapist Charged with Child Abuse

She has appeared on the Dr. Phil Show as an expert in her field. But now, Karen Corcoran Walsh has been arrested for doing what she was trained not to do – child abuse and neglect.

Karen Corcoran Walsh is alleged to have left her 11-year-old step daughter home alone after storming out of her Florida home following an argument with her husband.

When contacted on the phone she is alleged to have refused to return to the house to take care of the child telling a security guard to call the girl’s father.

Walsh, who runs the Inspiration for Youth and Families Center which helps teens addicted to drugs, was arrested on child abuse charges.

The 51-year-old later told local media she was the victim of wrongful arrest and her lawyer said he hoped the charge would be dropped.

According to a police report the incident began after Walsh and her husband Christopher had an argument at their home.

During the row Walsh broke her husband’s cell phone and told him to leave the house. After he left, Walsh also walked out leaving her step daughter alone in the gated community.

The arrest report said the girl was ‘scared, when she walked out of the bedroom to find herself home alone.

‘She had no cell phone, no house phone, no house key or no note left saying where her mother had left to. (The girl) explained she left the home unlocked and proceeded to walk down the road to the guard gate barefoot. The road was very dark and unsafe for a child to walk at night alone.’

The guard called Boca Raton Police who located Karen Walsh and placed her under arrest – charging her with ‘Neglect of a Child.’

Walsh later posted $3,000 bond

Man 107 Years Old Killed In Police Shootout

A 107-year-old man was shot and killed in a shootout with police in southeast Arkansas on Saturday.

Pine Bluff police say Monroe Isadore was shot dead after repeatedly firing at officers through a home’s closed bedroom door and refusing negotiations to surrender.

Pine Bluff Lt. David Price told KATV that officers were called to the scene around 4:25 p.m. after a caller reported Isadore was pointing a weapon at two people.

Officers reported hearing gunfire when they arrived at the home, prompting the safe evacuation of the other residents.

More officers were called, including a Special Weapons and Tactics unit that inserted a camera into the bedroom and confirmed Isadore had a handgun.

When the centenarian continued to refuse to relinquish his weapon, gas was pumped into the room through a window, prompting Isadore to return gunfire once more, police said.

“Shortly afterwards a S.W.A.T. entry team, inside the residence, breached the door to the bedroom and threw a distraction device into the bedroom,” according to a police statement obtained by CBS. “Isadore then began to fire on the entry team and the entry team engaged Isadore, killing him.”

The reason behind the initial incident among the three residents was not immediately reported by police.

German Intelligence – Assad May Not Have Authorized Chemical Weapons

To add even more confusion to this whole Syrian conflict, German intelligence is now coming forth claiming that they have proof that Basher al-Assad may not have authorized the use of chemical weapons.

Syrian government forces may have carried out a chemical weapons attack close to Damascus without the personal permission of President Bashar al-Assad, Germany’s Bild am Sonntag paper reported on Sunday, citing German intelligence.

Syrian brigade and division commanders had been asking the Presidential Palace to allow them to use chemical weapons for the last four-and-a-half months, according to radio messages intercepted by German spies, but permission had always been denied, the paper said.

This could mean Assad may not have personally approved the attack close to Damascus on August 21 in which more than 1,400 are estimated to have been killed, intelligence officers suggested.

Germany’s foreign intelligence agency (BND) could not be reached for comment.

Bild said the radio traffic was intercepted by a German naval reconnaissance vessel, the Oker, sailing close to the Syrian coast.

Last week the head of the BND, Gerhard Schindler, gave confidential briefings to the German parliament’s defense and foreign affairs committees. Bild said Schindler told the defense committee that Syria’s civil war could continue for years.

Syria: Three Days of Bombings Planned

The Pentagon is readying more intense and longer attacks on Syria than originally planned, set to last three days, the Los Angeles Times reported on Sunday.

War planners now aim to unleash a heavy barrage of missile strikes to be followed swiftly by additional attacks on targets that may have been missed or remain standing after the initial launch, the Times cited officials as saying.

Two US officers told the newspaper that the White House has asked for an expanded target list to include “many more” than the initial list of around 50 targets.

The move is part of an effort to obtain additional firepower to damage Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s dispersed forces.

Pentagon planners are now considering using Air Force bombers, as well as five US missile destroyers currently patrolling the eastern Mediterranean Sea, to launch cruise missiles and air-to-surface missiles from far out of range of Syrian air defenses, according to the report.

Sec. Kerry – It’s Not Obama’s Red Line, it’s “a global red line”

US Secretary of State John Kerry says he and Arab League foreign ministers have agreed that the Syrian president’s alleged use of chemical weapons had crossed a “global red line“.

Mr Kerry, speaking in Paris, is in Europe to muster support for action against President Bashar al-Assad.

“Assad’s deplorable use of chemical weapons crosses an international, global red line,” he said.

The Arab countries are divided on the question of military strikes on Syria.

The BBC’s Hugh Schofield reports from Paris that some like Saudi Arabia and Qatar are in favour while others like Syria’s neighbours Jordan and Lebanon are far more cautious, worried about the conflict spreading across their borders.

The US accuses Mr Assad’s forces of killing 1,429 people in a sarin gas attack on 21 August.

Mr Assad’s government blames the attack on rebels fighting to overthrow him in the country’s two-and-a-half-year civil war, which has claimed some 100,000 lives, according to UN estimates.

There are reports that rebel forces have taken control of the historic Christian town of Maalula, north of Damascus.

Twerking And Fire Don’t Mix – Don’t Believe Me? Ask Her… – Video

Apparently, this girl did not read Miley Cyrus’  Twerking for Dummies handbook. If she had, she would have realized that there are rules to this thing.

Rule #1 –  Do not next to candles.
Rule #2 – If you Twerk next to candles, you may get burn
Rule #3 – If you get burn, drop, roll and twerk some more.

In other words, do not do what this girl did.
