Mischa Barton Posts Insanely Insensitive IG Photo After Alton Sterling Murder

TV Becky Mischa Barton decided it was a fabulous idea to post a photo of herself on a yacht with some “sympathetic” words following the murders of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile via Elite Daily:

BISH YOU THOUGHT!

In response to the murder of innocent Alton Sterling at the hands of a Baton Rouge police officer, Barton posted a tribute on Instagram.

The former “The OC” actress called for “gun control and unity,” insisting she is “truly heartbroken” over the “#altonsterling execution.”

Though her pain is clear, what’s confusing is the photo accompanying the statement. In the pic, the 30-year-old stands on the stern of a yacht, dressed in a bikini, staring sadly at a glass of wine.

Rapper Lor Scoota’s Manager Slain Also Weeks After Murder

A few weeks ago, we reported that rapper Lor Scoota was gunned down in Baltimore.

Today, the NYDailyNews is reporting that his manager was killed Wednesday…

Trayvon Lee, 29, manager of recently slain Baltimore rapper Lor Scoota, was murdered Wednesday.

Scoota’s death sent waves throughout the rap community as he was shot and killed in broad daylight while driving moments, after leaving a charity basketball game promoting peace.

Less than two weeks after mourning the loss of his artist and friend, Lee succumbed to the same fate in West Baltimore.

Lee died July 6 from two gunshot wounds to the chest when shots rang out about 7:45 p.m. steps from his home.

First Lor Scoota, then his manager? Something ain’t right here. No idea what it is, but something ain’t right.

#DallasPoliceShooting: Authorities Identify Micah Xavier Johnson As “Ambush Sniper”

Micah Xavier Johnson Dallas Police Shooter

Micah Xavier Johnson Identified As Dallas Police Shooter

After a night of terror in the streets of downtown Dallas, police have announced the name of the name responsible for 5 dead cops.

Via ABCNews

One of the suspects in the ambush-style shootings in Dallas that left five police officers dead overnight served in the U.S. Army Reserve. The suspect told a hostage negotiator that he was upset about the recent police shootings of two black men and that he wanted to kill white people, especially police officers, Dallas Police Chief David Brown said at a news conference this morning.

The suspect, who was killed by police when they detonated a bomb delivered by robot, was identified today as 25-year-old Micah Xavier Johnson, multiple law enforcement sources told ABC News.

Johnson served as an Army reservist until April 2015. He was trained and served in the Army Reserve as a carpentry and masonry specialist, defense officials said.

Johnson deployed to Afghanistan from November 2013 to July 2014, according to his service record. He had the rank of a private first class.

The suspect “wanted to kill officers” and “expressed anger for Black Lives Matter,” Brown said.

“None of that makes sense,” Brown said.

Sounds like Micah thinks he’s willing to go that extra step that “protesters” won’t.

Based on the the reactions on social media, a lot of people seem to look at Micah like a hero, how do you feel?

Investigation Finds Sexual Abuse Of Patients By Doctors Is A Big Problem Being Swept Under The Rug

OBGYN
…The Atlanta Journal-Constitution conducted a pretty thorough investigation on these types of situations, examining documents that described everything from “Rapes by OB/GYNs, seductions by psychiatrists, fondling by anesthesiologists and ophthalmologists, and molestations by pediatricians and radiologists.” Victims ranged in age, from babies to the elderly, and what the AJC shared in their very enthralling report was that doctors get away with these things for varying reasons. One is because those abused often say nothing. Quite a few situations involving predatory physicians found that when one would step forward with a case, others would finally come out and share that they’d been abused as well. They often don’t feel that their word could stack up against a respected medical professional’s…

Working While Black: With The Traumatic News How Are You Coping At Work?

Depression
took everything in me to get up, get dressed and go into work this morning. I just didn’t feel like it. I would have much rather stayed in bed, avoiding the outside world. Because, video of police shootings of innocent Black men, seemed to suggest that the outside world, law enforcement specifically, doesn’t seem to respect or value the lives of people who look like me. Not only is it physical warfare. For those of us witnessing this trauma, it’s also psychological. With that in mind, knowing I wasn’t alone in my feelings, I asked my Black Facebook friends how they were coping or making it through the work day after watching two innocent Black men take their last breaths on camera. Here’s what they said…

Serena Williams Wins At Wimbledon, Tying Steffi Graf’s Record Of 22 Grand Slams

We’re so proud of our girl Serena Williams who just won yet another Wimbledon tournament, this time with pal Beyoncé watching from the stands alongside Jay Z.

Via ESPN reports:

Serena Williams won her record-tying 22nd Grand Slam title by beating Angelique Kerber 7-5, 6-3 in the Wimbledon final on Saturday.

Williams pulled even with Steffi Graf for the most major championships in the Open era, which began in 1968. Now Williams stands behind only Margaret Court’s all-time mark of 24.

Serena Williams dominated with her serve against Angelique Kerber, slamming 13 aces and winning 38 of 43 points when she converted her first serve.

The 34-year-old American did it, as she often does, with nearly impeccable serving. She slammed 13 aces, including at least one in each of her first eight service games. She won 38 of 43 points when she put a first serve in.

She faced just one break point — at 3-all in the second set, it represented Kerber’s only real opening — and shut the door quickly and emphatically with a pair of aces at 117 mph and 124 mph, her fastest of the afternoon.

This is Serena’s 7th time winning Wimbledon and this was a consecutive win since she also had a victory here last year.

Yo Gotti Wants Another Man Also Held Responsible For Crashing His Lamborghini

Yo Gotti doesn’t play around when it comes to his Lamborghini Aventador – which was allegedly damaged after a car shop employee got into a crash while taking the car for a solo test ride – with the rapper heading back to court and demanding another driver involved be held accountable for the damages his pricey ride suffered

Gotti aka Mario Mims filed a federal lawsuit against Motorcars of Georgia earlier this year.

Back in August 2014, the rapper purchased a Lamborghini Aventador sedan for $409,198.70 from a luxury car dealership in Florida.

Following the purchase of the luxury car he has widely showcased the Lamborghini to promote his Yo Gotti persona and brand. The specific car has been referenced in his song lyrics and prominently featured in a 2015 video

Then in October 2015, his business partner transported the Lambo – on behalf of the rapper – to Motorcars of Georgia for maintenance and repair services related to the car’s accelerator, clutch and transmission
Gotti’s business partner entered into an oral agreement with MOG to provide the maintenance for the Lambo

The rapper said neither his partner nor him granted MOG or its employees any permission to operate the Lamborghini outside of their facility for the purpose other than the requested maintenance and repair services.

Yo Gotti Lamborghini lawsuit 1

He said that on December 8th, 2015, an employee of MOG named Charles Carden was driving the Lambo on public roads in and around Atlanta, Georgia. Around 6:36am, the luxury car was involved in a crash with a tractor trailer operated by Pam Transport Inc. on Interstate 85 south in Norcross, Georgia

The rapper said MOG and their employees were never authorized to drive his car outside of their facility for personal use. The crash resulted in serious physical injury to the Lambo along with permanent depreciation of its value.

Gotti said due to MOG’s actions he has been badly damaged, depriving him of his valuable personal property, incurring repair expenses and causing the car to lose value. Further, he claims that the company owes him at least $80 in economic damages along with money for the loss of personal use, loss of promotional and business use of the car, pain and mental anguish and he wants attorney fees too.

Motorcars of Georgia headed to court and blasted Gotti’s lawsuit accusing them of taking his luxury car out for a joyride which resulted in the driver crashing the vehicle

The company explained that the damage caused to the car is not their fault and solely other parties out of their control.

They said the only reason their employee was driving the car was to give it a road test after making the repairs requested by Gotti. The car accident wasn’t their fault and they blamed the driver of the tractor that crashed into the vehicle. The company demanded the entire lawsuit be throw out and the rapper not be awarded a dime.

Yo Gotti Lamborghini lawsuit 2

Then on July 5th … Yo Gotti headed back to Georgia Court and demanded he be allowed to add new defendant to the case.

He explains he has learned the identity of the employee who was driving his car, Charles Carden, along with the identity of the tractor driver, Timothy Camp, and the company he worked for while driving the tractor, PAM Transport.

Gotti wants to hold both drivers and the man’s employer accountable for the damages his luxury ride suffered after the accident. The rapper will be allowed to recover damages from all men involved if the judge signs off on his motion.

Nobody is off the hook for bangin’ up the Lambo on Yo Gotti’s watch.
