Florida was built on hypocrisy and craziness…

Man Sent Text Message In Movie Theater Right Before Shooting Texter

Curtis Reeves Jr., accused of fatally shooting a man in a movie theater during an argument over texting, himself sent a text message from his seat in the Wesley Chapel Cobb 16 Theatres.

Via TampaBay News reports:

The revelation comes from court documents released Wednesday in the case that has drawn national attention. Matthew Reeves, the defendant’s son, said in an interview with deputies after the Jan. 13 shooting that he was running late to meet his parents for a 1:20 p.m. show of Lone Survivor. He texted his father that he was on the way.

His father wrote back that he and his wife, Vivian, were in their seats.

About 15 minutes later, Matthew Reeves walked into the theater as a single shot rang out. Matthew Reeves, a Tampa police officer, told investigators he caught Chad Oulson, who was struck in the chest, as he collapsed in the aisle.

Authorities say Curtis Reeves, 71, who also made his career as a Tampa officer, shot Oulson, 43, during a confrontation over Oulson texting his daughter’s babysitter during the previews.

Matthew Reeves told Pasco sheriff’s deputies that he didn’t see the argument or the shot but that “noise and light” was coming from the top row as he walked into the darkness of auditorium 10.

According to court documents, Matthew Reeves told investigators he immediately went upstairs toward the commotion. He didn’t know where his parents were sitting. He could see one person stand, then take a few steps back and then a few steps forward to the end of the row. As the stranger collapsed, Matthew Reeves caught him and helped him to the ground.

He noticed the man was bleeding from what appeared to be a gunshot wound to the chest. Someone handed Matthew Reeves a T-shirt, and he pressed it against the wound to stanch the blood.

It was then, as he treated Chad Oulson on the floor of the theater, that Matthew Reeves looked toward the back row and saw his parents.

“He said his father appeared to have a shocked look on his face,” according to the court records.

As stunned moviegoers fled, and Chad Oulson’s wife, Nicole, screamed to witnesses that Reeves shot her in the finger, Matthew Reeves then got another bystander to take over tending to Oulson. He said he went to the lobby and told staff what happened and asked someone to call 911, then went to the kitchen and washed his hands. A theater employee said he gave Matthew Reeves some bleach to clean the blood.

Reeves, who is charged with second-degree murder and aggravated battery with a firearm, is being held without bail at the Pasco County jail until his trial, which is tentatively set for this fall. If convicted, he could face life in prison. At a pretrial hearing on Wednesday, his attorneys waived his right to speedy trial, saying they want to hire experts and do their own investigation.

This is so tragic.

Boy Accidentally Shot Dead His Cousin Playing With Gun

When will these parents learn to keep these guns out of their kids reach?

According to WKYC:

Kent City Schools is mourning the loss of one of its students today.

An 11-year-old boy was killed in Franklin Township on Wednesday in what appears to be an accidental shooting.

The alleged shooter is his 15-year-old cousin. According to the Portage County Sheriff’s Office, the two were home enjoying a snow day when it quickly turned tragic. The boys were playing with a gun when it went off.

Channel 3 News has decided not to disclose their names, but we did obtain a recording of the 911 call.

On the phone with 911, a young male caller yells, “Oh my god! He shot him with a pistol. … They were messing with the guns downstairs.”

The 911 dispatcher asks, “So it was an accident?”

The caller responds, “Yea, it was a total accident.”

While authorities investigate how the boy and his 15-year-old cousin got access to the semi-automatic weapon, Stanton Middle School is coping with their loss. Principal Anthony Horton said it’s been a very solemn day.

“A lot of our students wrote cards for the family, poems, pictures and stuff like that,” Horton said. “He was a well-liked young man.”

That boy had his whole life ahead of him and his death could have been prevented with proper supervision.

Color Struck: Dencia’s Skin Bleaching “Whitenicious” Investigated For Causing Skin Cancer, Infertility & More!

Skin Bleaching Cream Linked To Skin Cancer And Infertility

Medical experts have have warned Nigerians on the dangers of using bleaching products.

Via Vanguard reports:

Dr Akinlolu Siyanbola, a dermatologist at the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology Hospital, Osogbo, and Dr Abimbola Ibrahim in their separate interviews with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Osogbo, maintained that consistent usage of bleaching products over a long period could lead to kidney failure, cancer and infertility.

According to Dr Siyanbola, consistent usage of bleaching products over a long period could make the kidney to fail, and could cause diabetes.

He explained that bleaching products could also cause osteoporosis (loss of bone density), psychiatric manifestation and systemic hypertension among other ailments.

The dermatologist said that bleaching products contain chemical agents that reduce the activities of the natural cell which protects the skin from the adverse effects of sunlight.

The agents, he said, change the skin to occhronus manifested in different colours of the body. In his reaction, Dr Abimbola Ibrahim, disclosed that people who use bleaching products may end up being infertile.

Ibrahim said products lighten the skin and cause it to lose its natural protective barrier, making it to be vulnerable. The medical expert added that infection spreads faster and broader, thus leading to skin cancer.

The Nigerian Public Health Department also sent this warning about the skin bleaching product:

It was only a matter of time that the reviews of the controversial cream “Whitenicious” would be made available to the public. Whitenicious was released by Cameroun personality, Dencia, this past January, and has received a lot of speculations that it may lead to skin cancer. Users of Whitencious who shared and documented their results took to http://www.skincaretalk.com to voice complaints about the cream causing headaches, pimples and unwanted facial hair.

Unwanted facial hair and headaches are well known side effects of topical steroid use. The damaging prolong effects of steroid use on human skin has been well documented by credible medical research agencies to include Harvard Medical School. Topical steroid crèmes are predominantly prescribed by dermatologists for the treatment of rash, eczema, and dermatitis. It is observed that one of the side-effects of steroid use is skin-lightening. However individual who abuse it simply for this purpose fail to understand that the lightening effect is temporary, as the user will eventually revert to their natural complexion after a few months of usage. The temporay skin lightening effect is as a result of vasoconstriction, that is, basically restricting blood flow to the vital organs. Prolong topical steroid has many well known adverse side-effects to include renal (kidney) failure and susceptibility to melanoma, which is the most dangerous form of cancer.

Members of skincaretalk have voiced that they will be conducting an independent laboratory test to verify if the cream does in fact contain steroids and any other banned harmful substances. This is a major public health concern. So much so that there is talk that NAFDAC (The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control) [of Nigeria] is in the preliminary stage of issuing a ban which will prevent the cream from being sold in Nigeria. NAFDAC has issued similar bans in the past and has had great success in implementing it. Individuals caught smuggling items that are banned by NAFDAC have been known to face huge penalties in the form of hefty fines.

It is clearly evident that Dencia herself did not use Whitencious to transform from her original dark chocolate complexion to her now pale white skin. Speculations are that she is receiving weekly glutathione injections to suppress the melanin formation in her body. It is reported that there are a number of glutathione clinics in Lagos, Nigeria as well as in other countries. Let us just hope that Dencia has not compromised the health of her customers by knowingly including harmful substances that can cause cancer and other serious ailments. It is in everyone’s innate nature to succeed and become a success story. However at what cost?

Love the skin you’re in!!!

Rest In Peace: Black Man With The 132-Pound Scrotum Dies Of Multiple Heart Attacks At 49 In Las Vegas

This is nuts!

Man With The 132-Pound Scrotum Dies Of Multiple Heart Attacks

Wesley Warren, Jr., famous for a scrotum that weighed as much as 132 pounds before he reduced it with surgery, has died at age 49. He recently suffered two heart attacks and had been hospitalized for weeks due to complications from diabetes.

Via Gawker reports:

A friend of Warren’s told the Las Vegas Review-Journal, “He had infections that I think were brought on by his diabetes and then he had those heart attacks.” The friend said Warren’s surgery last April played no role in his death.

Due his condition, Warren, who weighed 300 pounds before his scrotum started expanding at a rate of 3 pounds per month, was unable to urinate normally, or to have sex. He had to wear hooded sweatshirts upside down as pants.

Warren’s strange case garnered worldwide attention thanks to appearances on the Howard Stern Show, Tosh.0, and a 2013 documentary on the U.K.’s Channel 4, The Man With the 10-Stone Testicles. The publicity led to several offers to perform corrective surgery, including one from Dr. Mehmet Oz, which Warren turned down because he was afraid Oz would botch the operation.

He eventually found a doctor at UC Irvine who performed the surgery for free, on the condition that Nevada Medicaid would pay for use of the hospital. The surgery happened before the state approved it, though, and Nevada denied coverage for Warren’s surgery and his post-operative care.

Warren consistently denied that he flaunted his condition for attention.

“Who would want to live like this?” he asked the Review-Journal before his surgery last year.

People Ain’t Isht: Mom Lies About Son Having Cancer To Scam Community Out Of $25K And Trip To Disneyland

Mom Accused Of Making Son Fake Cancer To Scam Donations

What type of morally-bankrupt person uses their child in a pawn to scam people out of money?

According to The Denver Channel:

An Arapahoe County mother has been arrested for allegedly perpetrating a hoax that her 6-year-old son had cancer and accepting $25,000 in community donations that she used to take her family to Disneyland, authorities said Friday.

Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Captain Larry Etheridge said Sandy Thi Nguyen convinced her son and other family members that he had cancer.

Sheriff’s investigators recovered $23,000 in cash when they executed a search warrant at the Nguyen family home on Thursday. Investigators then arrested the 28-year-old mother on investigation of theft and criminal impersonation to gain benefit, both felony charges.

Nguyen has been released from jail after posting a $10,000 bond.

In September 2013, the community began raising money for the boy, including fundraisers at the boy’s school, Rolling Hills Elementary.”Over the last several months, Ms. Nguyen accepted at least $16,000.00 from that account, as well as a trip to Disneyland for herself and family, which was paid for by the donated funds,” sheriff’s officials said.

Rolling Hills Elementary School Principal Darla Thompson sent a letter Friday to parents informing them of Sandy Nguyen’s arrest “for allegedly spreading false information about” her child “having a serious illness.”

“We are deeply troubled by these allegations and saddened to learn that an adult may have taken advantage of an innocent child and our school community. But the allegations do not, in any way, diminish the concern and support demonstrated by the Rolling Hills community for a child believed to be facing a life-threatening challenge,” the principal wrote. “It is important for our community to continue to show support and compassion for this child, who is also a victim in this case. The child was wrongfully led to believe that he was ill, and he was not responsible for the parent’s alleged actions.

They should have never released her. People like this need to rot in jail for taking advantage of innocent people.

Race Matters: Specialized NYC School Accused Of Racism After Only Enrolling 9 Black Students Out Of 952

Specialized NYC Schools Accused Of Racism Due To Low Minority Student Enrollment

A group of specialized schools in New York City are being accused of racial discrimination following the repeatedly low enrollment of minority students, despite the large number of ethnic students in the community.

via Techyville

New York City’s specialized schools still have low enrollment among minorities, according to a city report released on Friday.

New York’s specialized high schools are offered to leading students based on eighth grade exams. Of the more than 5,000 students accepted, only 11 percent are Black or Hispanic despite population figures that top 70 percent of all students, according to report in The Huffington Post.

The overwhelmingly disproportionate numbers were similar to last year. But in certain schools the numbers actually dropped from a year ago.

“For example, of the 952 students admitted to the highly competitive Stuyvesant High School this year, only 7 students are black and 21 are Hispanic, data show. Last year, nine black students and 24 Hispanic students were accepted to Stuyvesant,” Huff Po reported.

Entrance to New York City’s specialized schools is based on a single entrance exam, with the exception of one arts school that requires an audition. The low minority enrollment figures that result from this exam has caused New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio to argue for a new entrance system.

“These schools are the jewels in the crown for our public school system,” de Blasio said at a press conference Tuesday. “This is a city blessed with such diversity. Our schools, especially our particularly exceptional schools, need to reflect that diversity.”

Hmmm. Do you think this is a case of racism, Bossip fam? Or do you think the minority students just aren’t stepping up to the plate to even be in the running for enrollment? Let’s discuss.

Chris Brown Jailed For A Month

No more of Chris singing in sold out arenas for a while.

According to TMZ:

Chris Brown will stay in jail until April 23 … he was SHUT DOWN in court Monday afternoon in his bid to win release.

Chris was arrested after getting booted from rehab Friday. The judge had ordered him to stay in rehab while he decided whether Brown violated his probation in the Rihanna case. The judge had Chris arrested almost immediately after the rehab facility kicked him out.

The judge said Chris had an “inability to stay out of trouble.” Judge Hizzoner was especially concerned at a statement Chris made at the rehab joint, “I am good at using guns and knives.”

The judge wants Chris in the slammer until a D.C. jury decides if Chris committed criminal assault in an unrelated case. That trial is set for April 17 and should only last a few days.

The L.A. judge will hold a probation violation hearing on April 23, and if Chris is convicted in D.C. he’s in big trouble. Worst case scenario … he could be sentenced to 4 years in prison for violating probation in the Rihanna case. One of the conditions — obey all laws.

Why can’t Chris stay out of trouble? Team Breezy needs to pray for their boy.

So maybe Kim and Bey really were faking their friendship for the cameras….

Beyonce Doesn’t Want To Attend Kim And Kanye’s Wedding

Maybe Bey doesn’t respect Kim because she had to work hard to be successful and all Kim had to do was bust it open on video….

According to AZ Central:

Beyonce ”doesn’t want to” go to Kim Kardashian and Kanye West’s wedding.

The 32-year-old singer – who married Jay Z in a low-key ceremony in April 2008 – reportedly thinks it is ”tacky” the couple are planning to televise their nuptials on E! show ‘Keeping Up with the Kardashians’, but won’t boycott the ceremony completely.

A source said: ”[She told Jay Z and Kanye] that under no circumstances will she be a part of any filming on the wedding day if it’s for Kim’s reality show.

”Jay and Beyoncé’s wedding was shrouded in secrecy and extreme lengths were made to make sure their wedding was an intimate affair for friends and family, only. This will be the complete opposite. She thinks it’s just tacky.

”Beyoncé’s motto has always been, less is more. But clearly when it comes to Kim, more means more.

”She knows she’ll have to go to the wedding, but really does not to want to.”

Kanye considers the couple – who have two-year-old daughter Blue Ivy together – ”family” so Beyonce has promised to be there for his sake.

It was all good a minute ago. Where’s the love?

Woman Arrested After She Called The Police On Her Own Drug Dealer

She must have been super high when she made that call…

According to The Tennessean:

A Murfreesboro woman was arrested after she called police to report that she lost money on a drug deal, according to reports filed with the Police Department.

Chrissie Ann Solis, 35, of Bradyville Pike, was arrested Thursday for filing a false report and criminal conspiracy by Officer Thomas B. Troutman.

The arrest occurred after Solis called MPD to report a theft from her home. She said a friend visited her home and she had $140 sitting on her kitchen table, Troutman reported.

“She stated she went to the bathroom and when she came out she noticed (the visitor) and her money were gone,” Troutman said.

Solis told the officer where the visitor lives and Troutman made contact with the subject and his girlfriend.

Troutman ran a routine warrants check and found the girlfriend, Tiffany Waller, 30, of Mercury Boulevard was wanted for several charges. She was placed under arrest.

“Before she was transported, she gave me consent to look in her phone,” Troutman said. “In her texts, it showed where Ms. Solis asked Ms. Waller to get her 20 Loritab (pills) for $7 a piece, which turns out to be $140.”

Waller told Troutman Solis gave her the money to get the pills, but then the dealer stole the money from her. She also said she fully intended to pay Solis back.

Waller was also arrested and charged with criminal impersonation, robbery and violation of probation.

Was it serious enough that he needed to climb onto the train roof though?

Man Electrocuted To Death While Trying To Take Selfie

This young man lost his life over something so unnecessary and dumb.

According to NY Daily News:

A Spanish man was electrocuted after climbing onto the roof of a train to take a selfie.

The 21-year-old died in Andujar, Andalusia, at 12 noon Saturday after clambering on top of a haulage locomotive with a pal.

The duo thought the train, parked in a siding at the town’s station, was not electrified. But its cables were in fact still connected and conducting a current.

As he went to snap the photo with his mobile phone, the victim accidentally touched a high-voltage wire.  The electric shock reportedly threw him from the train.

Firefighters, police and paramedics rushed to the scene, according to ABC. The electricity supply between local stations was cut so the pair could be attended to.

But it was too late, and the 21-year-old, from Vegas de Triana, was declared dead at the scene.

A sadly tragic situation that could have been avoided. May he rest in peace.

Kanye West Sentenced To Probation And Anger Management In Photographer Attack

Kanye really just might  have nine lives when in comes to the justice system.

According to US Weekly:

Kanye West has some work ahead of him. The 36-year-old rapper pleaded no contest to misdemeanor battery against a photographer on Monday, March 17, in a special plea in which he maintains his innocence.

He was sentenced to two years of probation, 24 anger management therapy sessions, and 250 hours of community service.

The “Bound 2″ rapper was charged with misdemeanor counts of battery and grand theft after an altercation with photographer Daniel Ramos at LAX airport back in July. Ramos attended the hearing Monday with his lawyer, Gloria Allred.

Hopefully, the good news will make Kanye happy and he’ll stop walking around mad and attacking people all the time.
