Jesus Take The Wheel: Jets RB Chris Johnson Wounded In Florida Drive-By That Claimed Driver’s Life

Chris Johnson Shot In Shoulder During Orlando Drive-By

Prayers up for Chris Johnson and his friends who were injured during a drive-by Sunday that claimed the life of Dreekius Johnson, who was driving the vehicle.

According to NY Daily News reports:

Soon-to-be ex-Jets player Chris Johnson was shot early Sunday in his Florida hometown when a gunman opened fire on a car he was in, killing the driver and wounding another passenger.

Johnson, poised to be released by the Jets and become an unrestricted free agent on Tuesday, suffered a bullet wound to the shoulder in the 4:09 a.m. drive-by shooting in Orlando, police said.

Dreekius Johnson, 28, was killed and Reggie Johnson, 29, was wounded, police said. It was unclear if the two men are related to the football star.

Chris Johnson, 29, told cops their Jeep was stopped at a red light at the intersection of Southland Blvd. and Orange Blossom Trail when a car pulled up next to them and a gunman opened fire without warning, police said.

Just insane… What would you do?

The shooting erupted after Johnson and his crew left a concert given by Florida rapper JuicedUpKT. Before going to the concert, Johnson posted an Instagram photo of himself and a pal he identified only as “Pollie.”

Photos of the Jeep showed at least two bullet holes in the window on the passenger side, where Chris Johnson was sitting.

“When the driver got shot, Chris was leaning back in his seat, texting like he always does. If he wasn’t leaning back, that shot would have killed him,” a source close to Johnson told TMZ.com. “It wasn’t his time.”

Thank God he survived, but what the hell was going on for this to have happened?

Johnson hasn’t been trouble free either…

Johnson, the 2009 NFL Offensive Player of the Year, had been arrested in Orlando in January when cops pulled him over and found two semiautomatic handguns in his car. He was charged with a misdemeanor for openly carrying firearms.

“Our thoughts and prayers are with Chris and everyone impacted by this tragic event,” the Jets said in a statement.

Johnson’s departure from the Jets came after he slammed management for vowing he would be the team’s go-to running back, only to make him second fiddle to Chris Ivory.

“I think I went into a situation where I was told one thing, and it was another,” Johnson told a TV interviewer last month.

R.I.P. Dreekius. We hope Chris has a speedy recovery and gets it together on the field and off of it.

You’ll Never Guess What Happened To This Atlanta Garbage Man Who Picked Up Trash ‘Too Early’

Garbage Man

Garbage Man Sentenced To 30 Days In Jail

A garbage man in the Atlanta suburb of Sandy Springs has been sentenced to 30 days in jail for doing his job.

Kevin McGill apparently angered residents by picking up trash too early and consequently disturbed their sleep.

S…M…H!


The Daily Mail reports:

A garbage collector outside Atlanta has been sentence to 30 days in prison for start his work too early.

Kevin McGill, 48, who works for Waste Management Inc, took a guilty plea deal after violating an ordinance in Sandy Springs, north of Atlanta, that bans collections before 7am.

He turned 48 on Friday, but reported to a local jail at 6pm after being allowed to serve his time on the weekends so he can still work collecting wealthy residents’ trash so he can support his wife and two children.

The bin collector didn’t have a lawyer when he was sentenced and has filed a motion to withdraw his plea, McGill’s new attorney Kimberly Bandoh told Daily Mail Online.

However, the Court Chief Solicitor Bill Riley asked for a 30 day sentence for the offense of picking up trash around 5am in the suburb and the judge granted the stiff penalty.

He was sentenced on February 20th at the local courthouse, the running of which has been handed over to private contractors by the city.

There were no real negotiations between her client and Mr Riley when he was sentenced, Ms Bandoh told Daily Mail Online, adding that the solicitor had claimed the offense meant ‘automatic jail time’.

Mr Riley has stood by the request for jail and says that ‘fines don’t seem to work’ and ‘The only thing that seems to stop the activity is actually going to jail.’

The solicitor said that residents of Sandy Springs, which include professional athletes and executives for Delta Air Lines, begin calling 9-1-1 when they hear early garbage men, according to WSPA.

He said it was the right decision to punish McGill, who had only been on the route for three months, rather than his company, which the city has contracted to pick up its residents’ trash.

The prosecutor said that early garbage collections are a nuisance to residents who want to sleep and that his office had met with Waste Management after previously punishing its employees for violating the ordinance.

A representative for the company went to the courthouse with McGill, who expected to be ordered to pay up to a $1000 fine, Ms Bandoh said.

Wow, these Sandy Spring residents can NOT be serious.

Jail time for doing your job????

Pit Bull Kills Man Who Was Trying To Help Owner During Heart Attack

Sad, sad, sad!

Via CBSPittsburgh

Police in West Virginia say a pit bull attacked and killed a man who was trying to help the dog’s ill owner.

The incident occurred Sunday night at a home in East Wheeling.

Lt. Phil Redford says police believe the dog’s owner suffered a heart attack. The other man was attacked by the dog as he tried to resuscitate the owner.

A police department news release says both people were pronounced dead at a local hospital. Their names haven’t been released.

Ohio County Animal Control removed the dog from the home and placed it in quarantine.

We know lots of folks in the black community love pit bulls, but they just can’t be trusted.

All White Tri-Delta Sorority At University Of Oklahoma Investigated After Racist Video Leaks

Tri-Delta Sorority Investigated After Racist Video Leak

Backlash from the racist video leak at the University of Oklahoma continues….

Via 11 Alive reports:

A sorority at the University of Oklahoma is also under investigation for the possible involvement of some of its members in a video in which fraternity members chanted a racial slur and made references to lynching.

The university shut down the fraternity, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, whose national office apologized and said it would expel all of the members involved. At least one young woman can also be seen from behind in the video, clapping her hands along with the chant.

The woman hasn’t been identified, but late Monday, the national office of Delta Delta Delta sorority said in a brief statement that it was “cooperating fully with our partners at the university as they investigate this matter.”

“Tri Delta expects its members to uphold the highest responsibilities of college women,” it said. “The behavior documented in the video is deplorable and is in no way consistent with Tri Delta’s ideals and core values.”

Former Sen. David Boren, the university’s president, called participants in the video “disgraceful” Monday, saying in a statement: “You have violated all that we stand for. Real Sooners are not racist. Real Sooners are not bigots.”

What do you think should happen to the sorority?


#MixedLivesMatter? Family Of Tony Robinson Say He Wasn’t Shot For Being Black Because He Was Mixed

“We don’t want to just stop at black lives matter. … Tyrell is a mixture of everything. You can’t look at him and say he’s black…”

Family Of Tony Robinson Say He Wasn’t Shot For Being Black Because He’s Mixed

The family of Tony Robinson, the unarmed 19-year-old who was fatally shot in Wisconsin, is speaking out and denouncing claims that the teen was gunned down because of race.

Why?

Because he was multiracial and “you couldn’t tell he was black.”

ABC News reports:

The uncle of the 19-year-old who was fatally shot by a police officer in Madison, Wisconsin, over the weekend said that his nephew “just wanted to be loved.”

Tony Robinson Jr., who was known to his family as Tyrell, was fatally shot by a police officer on Friday and the incident is now the subject of a state Department of Justice investigation.

Robinson’s mother is white and his father is African American, and at a news conference this afternoon, Robinson’s uncle, Turin Carter, spoke out on behalf of the family about how this is a universal issue that should be understood by people of all races.

“A lot of his identity was formed because of his racial ambiguity,” Carter said.

“Tyrell felt a misfit for most of his life and that’s why we became close,” he said, while his sister — Robinson’s mother — stood behind him.

Robinson’s death comes after a growing list of cases where unarmed teens were killed at the hands of white men, and Carter said that though the parallels to the shooting deaths of Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown are inevitable, there are significant differences because of his nephew’s mixed race.

Tony Robinson

“We don’t want to just stop at black lives matter. … Tyrell is a mixture of everything. You can’t look at him and say he’s black,” Carter said.

Carter thanked the droves of supporters who have been talking about the case on social media and attending rallies but urged all involved to make sure that they were not anti-law enforcement in their demonstrations.

“We appreciate the police and we understand the necessity for them but once again that does not excuse what happened,” Carter said.

“It takes one bullet from a trained gunman to end a life — it takes one bullet — and we know how many were fired,” Carter said. Police have not officially confirmed how many shots were fired.

 

Carter is officially tripping, that boy is not racially ambiguous and it’s sad that he’s alienating the “Black Lives Matter” protestors because he thinks his nephew “doesn’t look black.”

Surely the cop couldn’t tell that the boy was biracial.

Why Did This Woman Try To Wheel An Entire Jewelry Case Out Of K-Mart In Broad Daylight?

Woman Steals Jewelry

Woman Tries To Steal Entire Jewelry Case

A Tennessee woman was recently arrested after authorities say she tried to wheel an ENTIRE JEWELRY CASE out of a K-Mart at 11:30 in the afternoon.

She had a noble reason for the brazen crime however…sort of.

TimesNews.net reports:

A unique, yet indiscreet, shoplifting scheme backfired on a Kingsport woman, according to police, as she was busted while wheeling an entire jewelry display case out of Kmart — thwarting her attempt to steal $9,000 worth of earrings.

Records at the Kingsport Police Department state the incident occurred at approximately 11:20 Thursday morning. A loss prevention officer at the East Stone Drive store allegedly observed a female with wire cutters in the jewelry section.

The suspect, later identified as Quashanda J. Wolfe, 34, reportedly cut a security cable that was attached to a counter top display case.

A police report says it contained 37 separate pairs of earrings, valued at $249.99 a piece.

Wolfe then loaded the approximately three feet tall glass container into her buggy, according to loss prevention, and proceeded to wheel it out the front doors. She was abruptly stopped in the breezeway and escorted to an office, with police called to respond to the scene.

Wolfe, of 3311 Watterson St., was arrested and charged with theft of property over $1,000 and vandalism. The total value of the earrings was placed at $9,250, while the display case was estimated at $200.

After being transported to jail, Wolfe allegedly relayed her motive: reselling the swiped goods so she could buy “stuff” for her child.

Though Kingsport police regularly release surveillance footage from area retail stores, a Times-News request for Thursday’s video was declined.

The real story here is that K-Mart has earrings for $250.

White Atlanta Cops Kill Naked And Unarmed Black Man

WTF is going on?!

Via HuffingtonPost

A white, Atlanta-area police officer shot dead a naked and unarmed African-American man acting erratically in his apartment complex and who was possibly suffering from a mental illness, the county police chief said.

A Dekalb County police officer responded to a caller who said a man was “acting deranged, knocking on doors, and crawling around on the ground naked,” on Monday around 1 p.m. local time, county police chief Cedric Alexander told reporters.

The officer encountered the man, who was not wearing any clothes, in the parking lot, Alexander said at a conference published online by local broadcaster Fox5.

Alexander said the man ran at the officer, who backed up and ordered the person to stop before shooting him twice. Police did not find a weapon at the scene, he said.

Monday’s shooting comes after a string of killings of unarmed black men by police in the United States. Last year, incidents in Ferguson, Missouri and New York City prompted nationwide protests, some of which turned violent.

This is at least the third African-American man to be shot dead by police since last Friday, who either was or seemed unarmed.

What’s the cops excuse gonna be?! The guy was pulling a gun from his azz cheeks?!? SMMFH
