Jeremy John Webster: Colorado Man Accused of Shooting 4 People, Killing a Child, in Dentist Office Parking Lot

By
Dustin Gary

A 23-year-old man was arrested on murder charges in connection with a deadly shooting Thursday (Jun. 14) in Westminster, Colorado.

UPDATE: Jeremy John Webster’s Mugshot Released by Westminster, Colorado Police

Police have identified the accused shooter as Jeremy John Webster—who reportedly shot four people, including two children (one died), in the parking lot outside of a Westminster, Colorado dentist’s office. According to police, road rage is believed to have been the motive for the shooting, which left a child dead.

Police said that the suspect didn’t know any of the victims, whose names have not yet been released.

“Through our investigation we have been able to determine the suspect did not know any of the victims and did not have a relationship with any of them. It appears as if this incident stemmed from a road rage,” wrote police.

Of the four victims, three were a mother and her two juvenile sons, one of which was killed.

Jail records show that Jeremy Webster was booked into the Adams County jail just after 1:30 a.m. early Friday morning (Jun. 15).

Webster is being charged with murder in the first degree after deliberation with intent, murder in the first-degree with extreme indifference, assault in the first degree, and criminal attempt to commit a class one felony. He is being held without bond and is due in court on Monday (Jun. 18).

Here’s what you need to know about Jeremy John Webster and the deadly shooting:

1The mass shooting happened outside a dental office in Westminster, Colorado.

Thursday’s shooting in Westminster, Colorado is the latest mass shooting to traumatize the United States. The first reports of the incident said that an active shooter was near a dental office, and the suspect was still at large for several hours.

Initial reports stated that the shooting occurred inside a dental office, but that later proved untrue. The shooting happened in the parking lot outside Comfort Dental at 80th and Sheridan.

23-year-old Jeremy John Webmaster from Colorado Springs was first identified as the shooter by CBS Denver the Friday morning after the shooting. Webster was arrested after a wildlife officer spotted his car, which was described by police as a black 4-door Toyota Corolla with a Colorado license plate (NPQ-091).

“A wildlife officer followed his car south on I-25 and he was eventually stopped near Castle Rock and taken into custody,” tweeted CBS4 reporter Brian Maas.

Children’s Dentistry of Westminster posted a statement on Facebook:

“We want to thank everyone in the community for the outpouring of support we received after the tragic and senseless incident that occurred today. We ask that you keep the victims in your thoughts and prayers. We would like to give a special thanks to the Westminster fire and police department who responded quickly and immediately took action. We are truly thankful for their efforts today. All Children’s Dentistry staff are now home and safe. Our office will be closed until Monday, June 18.”

2Jeremy Webster shot four people, including two children, one of whom died. The mother and brother of the child who died are in critical condition.

Jeremy Webster opened fire on four people, including two children, one of whom died as a result of the shooting.

Of the four victims, three were a 41-year-old mother and her two sons, a 13-year-old and an 8-year-old. The 13-year-old is the one who died. The mother and her surviving son (the 8-year-old) are in critical condition, and it is believed that the fourth shooting victim, an adult male not related to the other three victims, will also survive.

A heartbreaking scene occurred outside the dental office where the child was killed. A little girl wanted to bring flowers for the boy who died, and she and her grandfather “prayed in the parking lot,” according to Denver Post reporter Elizabeth Hernandez.

“When officers arrived on the scene, they found two adults and two children, suffering from gunshot wounds,” police said in the news release. “All four victims were shot in the parking lot of the business complex. There were no additional victims in any of the businesses.”

“An adult male who was shot is expected to survive his injuries. There is no relation between this victim and the below-listed victims,” police said. “An adult female and her two male children were also struck by gunfire. The female and one of the children sustained life-threatening injuries and are in critical condition. A juvenile male succumbed to his injuries.”

The Westminster Police Department said they are also not releasing the identity of the victims at this time.

3 There were reportedly 20 witnesses to the shooting, including a third uninjured son of the mother who was shot.

Police first indicated that they weren’t sure what the motive was for the crime, but they later revealed that they believed that a road rage incident drove the mayhem. They haven’t provided any additional details yet.

Police released a description of the suspect’s vehicle early on, writing on Twitter, “Vehicle of Interest: Black Toyota 4 door” with a Colorado license plate “NPQ 091.” Police added: “occupant(s) should be considered armed. Call 911 or WPD with info 303 658 4360.”

According to the Denver Post, at least 20 people witnessed the shooting. One witness told The Post he “found a man suffering from multiple gunshot wounds and his clothes saturated in blood,” The man was “very coherent” and “very calm,” the witness said.

After Contact7 investigator Jace Larson obtained a search warrant in the case that provided more details into the shooting, it was revealed that Webster allegedly used a Glock 19 handgun in the shooting, and one of the mother’s sons (who was not injured in the shooting) described to police what happened, saying that his mom “had some sort of altercation near the intersection of Sheridan Blvd. and Turnpike Drive.”

The uninjured boy allegedly told police that Webster followed his mother’s car into the parking lot of the office building where the shootings happened and parked behind her car. A total of three children were in the car—two of them were shot; one of the two who were shot died.

The woman snapped a photo of Webster’s license plate and then exited the car with her children, and then an argument ensued, reported DenverChannel.com. As Webster and the woman argued, witnesses saw Webster pull out a handgun and shoot the woman “multiple times,” according to the warrant.

The woman fell to the ground, and Webster then turned to two of the boys and shot them both multiple times, the warrant said. As Webster started to walk back toward his car, he turned around and shot one of the boys again as he was lying on the ground. The third child was able to run away from the scene without being shot.

After shooting the woman and her sons, Webster made eye contact with a man in a different vehicle—a pickup truck—with his daughter. As Webster walked toward the man’s truck, he shot at it multiple times, hitting the man in both arms. He was able to reverse his truck and drive out of the parking lot. His daughter was not injured.

The woman’s 12-year-old son, who wasn’t injured in the shooting, was able to describe to police about the road rage incident and about the photo his mother took of the suspect’s license plate, which allowed officers to be able to track the vehicle to Webster, who was later apprehended on I-25 near Castle Rock.

9 News reporter Katie Eastman said she spoke with the owner of a car shop near the dentist office where the shooting occurred. The shop owner said he heard around seven or eight “deliberate” gunshots and watched as a man ran down the sidewalk of Sheridan. The shop owner said he saw police running after the man when they arrived on the scene.

James Sisneros told 9 News that his daughter was locked inside the dentist’s office near where the shooting occurred while police investigated. He said he saw one of the bleeding victims and it “didn’t look very good.”

4Jeremy Webster told police he suffers from mental illness and was on a new medication at the time of the shooting.

Jeremy Webster reportedly waived his Miranda rights and admitted to the shooting. He also told police that he suffers from “mental health issues” and had “just started a new prescribed medication” the day of the shooting.

Webster told police that his new medication and the box for the handgun were at his house. The claims about his mental state and medication haven’t yet been independently verified beyond what the affidavit states.

Jeremy Webster also reportedly holds an active license from the Colorado Department of Revenue that allows him to work in the marijuana industry. That license is set to expire this month, though it’s unclear if he was actually employed in the marijuana industry.

Rich The Kid Hospitalized After Getting Robbed at Gunpoint & Pistol-Whipped at Girlfriend Tori Brixx’s House

GOT Hip-Hop

Now we know what landed Rich The Kid in the hospital.

According to TMZ, the “Plug Walk” rapper was attacked and robbed at gunpoint in Los Angeles last night. “The beatdown was so severe, it landed him in the hospital,” TMZ reports.

RTK was chilling at his girlfriend Tori Brixx’s house Thursday night (Jun. 14) when two men wearing masks busted in demanding cash and jewelry. Sources say Rich tried to fight them off, but three more men came into the home with guns. Rich was reportedly pistol-whipped during the altercation.

TMZ’s sources said as Rich was getting beat up, the armed robbers got away with a “significant amount of cash and jewelry.”

RTK and Tori Brixx were both taken to a hospital for treatment, and Rich posted a photo of him in a hospital bed on Instagram this morning, prompting many to wonder what the hell was going on with him. In the pic, he has a neck brace on, is hooked up to an IV and is being given oxygen through the nose.

Cops were called after the attack, but it isn’t known whether or not a report was taken. Rich’s team, however, already seems to believe the robbery was an inside job.

RTK hasn’t been having the best month so far. After Lil Uzi Vert ran up on him in Philly and caused him to run to a nearby Starbucks and hide behind the counter, leaving many to question the status of his street cred, just yesterday he was attacked by a taxi driver who threw objects at his car.

While the past 30 or so days haven’t been good to Rich, 2018 has definitely been his year (besides that whole wife filing for divorce thing).

News of the rapper being the victim of armed robbery and his subsequent hospitalization comes a few hours after he celebrated earning eight platinum plaques this year on his Instagram story. “Eight plaques in 2018… EIGHT!” he said. “Y’all n**gas need to catch up! Eight plaques, I’m winning!”

The badge of honor accounts for some of his biggest hits to date, including “New Freezer” and “Plug Walk,” from his debut studio album The World Is Yours. He also posted a video to IG his story showing him in the studio working on new music, captioning the clip “Back 2 work!”

Is Rich The Kid OK? Photo Shows Rapper Unconscious in Hospital Bed

What’s happened to Rich the Kid? Is he OK?

Fans of Rich The Kid have questions after he (or someone) posted a photo on Instagram showing the rapper lying unconscious in what appears to be an emergency room hospital bed.

UPDATE: Rich The Kid Hospitalized After Getting Robbed at Gunpoint & Pistol-Whipped at Girlfriend Tori Brixx’s House

He has a neck brace on, is hooked up to an IV and is being given oxygen through the nose. The photo on IG has no caption, leading many to wonder what the hell is going on.

Because of the neck brace, it seems he was injured as the result of an accident (perhaps a car accident?) of some sort. But without details, that’s all just speculation.

Comments on the post range from praying hand emojis to jokes about Lil Uzi Vert. “See now u know to leave uzi alone,” joked one commenter. “@liluzivert must have caught him lacking,” said another.

RTK hasn’t been having the best month so far. After Lil Uzi Vert ran up on him and caused him to hide behind the counter at Starbucks, leaving many to question the status of his street cred, he was attacked by a taxi driver who threw objects at his car yesterday.

While the past 30 or so days haven’t been good to Rich, 2018 has certainly been his year.

Interestingly enough, news of the rapper’s mysterious hospitalization comes a few hours after the rapper was celebrating earning eight platinum plaques this year on his Instagram story. “Eight plaques in 2018… EIGHT!” he said. “Y’all n**gas need to catch up! Eight plaques, I’m winning!”

Keyshia Cole Breaks Up With 22-Year-Old Boyfriend Niko Khalé, Deletes All Instagram Photos

By
Devarrick Turner

Welp, it looks like Keyshia Cole and her 22-year-old boyfriend Niko Khalé have parted ways after only a few months of romance.

You know social media is a dead giveaway for the status of any relationship. The first sign that there was trouble in paradise was when Cole deleted all the pictures from her Instagram account and set her page to private, leaving her 5.2 million followers only to enjoy an empty page.

Meanwhile, on his IG page, Khalé has deleted all pictures of Cole. The caption to his latest post also alluded to being “off the leash” as in, now being a single man. However, the caption has since been changed to read: “My drip a little different.”

Though he removed all pictures of Cole, he did choose to leave one video of the Grammy nominee singing his song. So, was he just using her to advance his own rap career?

https://www.instagram.com/p/BhCvUkthVaU/?taken-by=nikokhale

Keyshia and Niko first went Instagram public with their relationship in February. The two frequently posted photos on their accounts.

The 36-year-old singer also took to social media to defend their relationship after she was receiving, what she called, “judgmental” backlash. She wrote:

“Now the reason I’m posting The pepper to my salt @nikokhale is because he’s been such a sweetheart to me, and I kno people have been very judgmental about our relationship but I gotta nurture what nurtures me.”

The relationship was one of Cole’s first since divorcing Boobie Gibson in 2017.

She married Gibson in 2011. Though the couple officially divorced last year the couple separated in 2014. Their unconventional living arrangement was documented on Love & Hip Hop Hollywood in 2017. They have one child together.

Kenya Moore Posts New Baby Bump Photos for Her Haters Amid RHOA Demotion Rumors

By
Devarrick Turner

Kenya Moore is still trying to prove to ya’ll that she’s pregnant. Amid continued speculation she’s faking her pregnancy, the Real Housewives of Atlanta star has posted another photo showing off her tiny baby bump.

In a sponsored Instagram post for exercise pants, Kenya gave her followers a glimpse of her growing bump uncovered and in all its glory. “Trying to stay fit for baby,” she wrote in the post last week.

Kenya first debuted her baby bump earlier this month, but people still questioned whether she was faking the pregnancy for an RHOA storyline or if she was really using a surrogate. I guess with all the rumors swirling, she then felt “compelled” to share a video of an ultrasound when she first heard the baby’s heartbeat.

This will be the first child for the 49-year-old, who married Marc Daly last year. She announced her pregnancy while taping the RHOA reunion in mid-March and made it clear that she was NOT using a surrogate. Andy Cohen has also confirmed that Kenya is in fact pregnant.

Kenya’s also facing rumors that she’s lost her RHOA peach. Some reports suggest she was demoted to “friend” and replaced by Eva Marcille, who made her Atlanta debut last season.

Producers were reportedly upset with Kenya for not informing them of her secret wedding to Daly last year. She then refused to shoot any scenes with her husband for the show and was penalized by producers. However, Daly eventually appeared briefly in one episode towards the end of the season.

Kenya’s future with RHOA was still in limbo when filming wrapped. It seems her pregnancy is what saved her, even if it’s only “friend” status.

The official cast for The Real Housewives of Atlanta season 11 has not been confirmed, though filming should begin in the coming months, if not, weeks.

Gloria Williams: Woman Who Kidnapped Kamiyah Mobley and Raised Her As Her Own Sentenced to 18 Years in Prison

By
GOT Staff

The woman who kidnapped a newborn baby from a Florida hospital two decades ago and raised the child as her own in South Carolina was sentenced to 18 years in prison for kidnapping. She will also serve five years concurrently on a charge of custody interference.

52-year-old Gloria Williams was sentenced last Friday (Jun. 8) for the kidnapping of Kamiyah Mobley from a hospital in Jacksonville in July 1998. Williams testified at her trial that she wore scrubs to look like a nurse and put the infant in a bag and snuck her out of the hospital. She said she was in an abusive relationship and was suffering from depression at the time.

Williams said that when she stole Kamiyah, she had lost custody of her two other children and had recently suffered a miscarriage. After the loss of her pregnancy, she drove to Jacksonville from South Carolina.

As the judge read her sentence, Williams—wearing an orange jumpsuit—stood next to her attorney and was looking down as if in prayer, not visibly reacting to the judge’s words.

Before announcing the sentence, Judge Marianna Aho said “there are no winners and no losers in the case,” which caused many people to suffer, including Williams. “The family in this case suffered not knowing what happened to their child for approximately 18 years,” Judge Aho said.

Williams got credit for 511 days she’s already served, and has 30 days to appeal the sentencing.

Williams raised Mobley—who grew up as Alexis Manigo—in Walterboro, South Carolina until her arrest in 2017. She didn’t tell the girl her true identity until the girl found out she couldn’t get a driver’s license because she didn’t have a valid birth certificate or Social Security card.

After discovering her true identity, Mobley told a friend about it. The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children eventually received an anonymous tip about Kamiyah’s whereabouts, which alerted authorities, and Williams was arrested.

According to news reports, Kamiyah legally changed her name from Alexis and reconnected with her birth parents Shanara Mobley and Craig Aiken (pictured above) since learning her true whosidentity.

Though Kamiyah has spent time with her biological parents, she still supports the only mother she knew. She professed sadness that Williams was facing years in prison, and had pleaded with the judge for a shorter sentence. She was in tears at Williams’ first hearing.

“I believe now that this is over, we can continue on our journey of healing together as a family and support our daughter on her decision making,” Aiken said in a brief statement to reporters after the hearing.

Her paternal great-grandmother, Barbara Stewart, told News4Jax that Kamiyah decided to stay in North Carolina during Friday’s sentencing because she didn’t want to have to decide whether to sit with her birth family or the family that raised her.

Stewart said Kamiyah has a long road of recovery ahead of her. “Some things got to be worked out still, because she loves the lady that had taken her away and she loves her mother,” Stewart said. “And you know, sometimes, it’s just going to take time for it to heal.”

Stewart said she believes Williams is sorry for what she did, and though she’s thankful that Kamiyah was taken care of, “that still don’t make it right.”

Kamiyah Mobley and her birth father Craig Aiken appeared on OWN’s Iyanla: Fix My Life but the episode took a dark turn when Kamiyah went off on the host and her crew while filming the episode.

Kamiyah, who agreed to stay in a house with Iyanla overnight to begin her healing process, verbally attacked Vanzant and threatened to cause her physical harm after she was informed that her family was told not to answer the phone if Kamiyah called to ask for a ride home.

Kellen Winslow Jr. Arrested on Rape & Kidnapping Charges, Faces Life in Prison

By
GOT Sports

Former NFL player Kellen Winslow Jr. has been arrested for the second time in the past seven days, and his latest arrest includes some very serious charges.

According to the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department, Winslow was arrested in San Diego Thursday afternoon (Jun. 14) on an outstanding warrant and was hit with a whopping NINE criminal charges, including kidnapping with intent to commit rape, forcible rape, forcible sodomy, burglary, indecent exposure and more. A search warrant was executed at his home, Fox 8 reported.

His total charges are as follows:

  • 2 counts of residential burglary
  • 2 counts of kidnapping with intent to commit rape
  • 2 counts of forcible rape
  • 1 count of forcible sodomy
  • 1 count of forcible oral copulation
  • 1 count of indecent exposure

If Winslow ends up being convicted of all charges, he faces up to life in prison.

Last Friday (Jun. 8), Winslow was arrested and charged with first-degree burglary for an alleged incident that reportedly happened at a mobile home park in Encinitas, California.

Winslow said at the time that he was not burglarizing the home in question; he was “house hunting for a home for his mother-in-law,” according to Fox 8. He was held on $50,000 bond, which he posted. He’ll be formally charged during an arraignment on Friday (Jun. 15).

34-year-old Kellen Winslow Jr. played in the NFL between 2004 and 2013. He earned more than $30 million during his 10-year NFL career as a tight end for the Cleveland Browns, the Tamba Bay Bucs, the New England Patriots and the NY Jets.

This isn’t Winslow’s first run-in with the law. He was arrested back in 2013 for allegedly masturbating in a Target parking lot after cops say they found vaseline and synthetic marijuana in his car.

Winslow denied the masturbation allegations (he said he was changing his clothes), but he was hit with a third-degree charge of possession of a controlled substance. He later struck a plea deal and got the drug charge dropped.

Kathy Griffin: Kevin Hart Is a “Pussy” for Not Attacking Trump in Stand-Up Routine

By
Devarrick Turner

Kathy Griffin is done apologizing for her 2017 political stunt that basically caused her to be exiled from Hollywood and shunned by many fans. Now, she’s criticizing other comedians for refusing to go after Donald Trump, going as far as to call Kevin Hart a “pussy.”

Griffin is going all in on Trump in her upcoming “Laugh Your Head Off” tour, which will find the humor in her tumultuous year after holding a bloodied decapitated Trump head in a controversial photo shoot. However, she’s particularly disappointed that a black man like Hart won’t blast Trump in his own stand-up. She tells USA Today:

“I do feel like this is such an anxiety-ridden time for everyone that there is a thirst for all kinds of comedy. And look, if you want to not hear about Trump at all, go see Kevin Hart. He doesn’t even mention Trump. I personally think that’s a pussy move because he’s a black man. But I guess he’s selling more tickets than I ever will.”

Hart has not responded to Griffin’s slam. Just to note, political humor has rarely been part of Hart’s routine, as his style consists more of observational comedy, satire, and self-deprecation. One of his most recent tweets was about his height.

As for Griffin, she feels the backlash she received last year was not warranted given how the first year of the Trump administration has panned out. “Every day that passes, more people realize not only was my photo literally harmless, but completely legal,” she said.

She lost several jobs and endorsements, was condemned by friends, was placed on the no-fly list, and was the subject of a federal investigation for conspiracy to assassinate the president.

Griffin is “humbled and grateful” for the career pitfall and her journey back on the road. Her 23-city tour kicks off today in San Francisco.

Lil Scrappy’s Friend & Car Crash Passenger Ca$ino Roulette Suing Over Accident

By
Dustin Gary

Lil Scrappy is back at home after spending eight days in the hospital following a pretty serious car crash in Miami, but he’s not totally out of the clear yet, physically or legally.

Reports emerged last week that the Love & Hip Hop star was hospitalized after he was found unconscious following a bad car accident he was involved in after leaving Miami’s King of Diamonds strip club. The rapper, who was thankful to be alive, posted a number of photos on Instagram showing off the extent of his injuries, which included a broken foot.

“Man God is great I can’t even show u the car,” Scrappy wrote, while also mentioning that his passenger—his friend, rapper Ca$ino Roulette—was also banged up pretty bad in the crash. “We f**ked up but God saved our lives. I’m blessed with a wife and daughter to help me back up but God is great and we are alive,” he added.

According to TMZ, when police arrived at the crash scene (SEE PHOTOS), they found Scrappy and Ca$ino outside of the car and on the ground, but neither one of them could explain what happened or how they got out of the vehicle. Cops assumed the car was driving too fast for conditions, and a video of the accident released by TMZ pretty much confirmed that:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pvg7FWNWRFw

The footage shows Scrappy’s white Mercedes speeding down the shoulder of a highway before ramming into head first into a utility pole. It wasn’t clear what exactly caused Scrappy to crash, but it looks like he was out there on the road all by himself.

Fortunately for them, an eyewitness called 911 and first responders were able to get them transported pretty quickly to a nearby hospital.

In an interview with TMZ Live, Scrappy was adamant that he was NOT under the influence of any drugs, and blamed the whole thing on sleep deprivation. He said that he had driven from South Carolina to Atlanta to Miami on the day of the accident and admitted that he may have overextended himself by deciding to go out with his friend Ca$ino Roulette.

Now, two weeks after the incident, Ca$ino is preparing to sue over the extensive injuries he sustained in the crash. Ca$ino’s attorney, Brett L. Schlacter, told TMZ that he suffered a number of “life-altering injuries” and is “lucky to be alive.”

Ca$ino was reportedly in ICU for three days after the accident and is now back home in South Carolina recovering from his injuries—broken ribs, a concussion, and bruised lungs, liver and kidneys. He also had two major surgeries to repair his large intestine, which was ruptured.

Schlacter said his client feels like Scrappy was negligent and reckless when he fell asleep at the wheel, and he’s pursuing legal action to cover medical expenses and to get financially compensated for his life-altering injuries and significant wage loss.

For his part, Scrappy says he doesn’t remember falling asleep, but he does admit to driving too much the day of the accident. Though police have since closed their investigation into the crash, that doesn’t mean he won’t be charged later.

Beyoncé & JAY-Z Shared Intimate Photos of Them in Bed, and the Internet Couldn’t Handle It

By

It’s rare that we get a glimpse into the uber-private lives of Beyoncé and JAY-Z, so you’ll have to excuse the Internet for losing it over recently released photos of the couple basically naked in bed together.

Mr. and Mrs. Carter kicked off their “On the Run II” stadium tour in Europe last Wednesday (Jun. 6), which gave the world an inside look at the twins, their vow renewal and some intimate home videos of Bey’s second pregnancy.

Bey and Jay also decided to put their nekkid bodies on display in a tour book featuring some private photos of the two lovers laid up in bed.

In some of the photos, you can clearly see Beyoncé’s “cheeks,” and in the pics of her and JAY-Z, it’s obvious that both were definitely in their birthday suits with only a bed sheet (or cleverly placed arms and legs) to cover them.

Fans who have purchased the $30 “OTR 2” tour booklets uploaded some of the photos online…

https://instagram.com/p/Bj05kf0gGAD/?utm_source=ig_embed

…And the internet, unsurprisingly, absolutely could NOT handle it.

While some of the comments were generally positive, most of them were focused on how uncomfortable JAY-Z looked, and let’s just say… those were the best/most hilarious reactions:

Too bad JAY-Z already let us know on 4:44 he gives not one damb about what we think about his looks: “Ain’t no such thing as an ugly billionaire. I’m cute.”

Looks like Beyoncé and JAY-Z get the last laugh.

Richard Ives: Fast Facts About Missouri Teacher Arrested After Getting “Lap Dance” From 14-Year-Old Boy He Met on Grindr

By
Dustin Gary

Richard Ives—a teacher at the Mary Institute and St. Louis Country Day School (MICDS) in Ladue, Missouri—was arrested Wednesday (Jun. 13) after allegedly having sexual relations with an underage boy he met on a gay dating app.

Ives is the latest teacher in the United States to be accused of having sexual contact with an underage person. Similar to other cases, Ives is accused of using a social media app to aid his criminal activity. According to KMOV 4 News, the boy Ives was messing with is only 14-years-old.

Here’s what you need to know:

1Richard Ives allegedly used the Grindr Dating App to meet up with a 14-year-old boy, who he received a “lap dance” from. Ives was caught with the boy after getting pulled over for a traffic violation.

According to court documents, 48-year-old Richard Ives was pulled over by a St. Genevieve County Sheriff’s Deputy after he ran a stop sign just after midnight early Wednesday morning (Jun. 13).

The deputy said when he pulled over Ives’ gray Chevy Malibu he noticed a 14-year-old boy sitting in the front seat of the vehicle. Court documents state that the deputy also noticed evidence of a sexual act and that Ives admitted there was sexual activity between himself and the juvenile.

When the boy was asked for his identification, he said he was Ives’ nephew but didn’t provide any additional information. The deputy said he asked Ives to exit the vehicle and questioned him about why he was out so let with a young boy. The suspect confessed to the deputy that he took the boy to a commuter lot and kissed him. While Ives and the boy were kissing, other sexual contact was made, court documents stated.

The boy’s mother was immediately contacted by deputies, and when she arrived, the 14-year-old told the officer he met Ives on “Grindr,” a social media “hookup app” for gay men. The boy then corroborated Ives’ story that he had been picked up and taken to a commuter lot, where sexual contact was made.

According to Fox2Now, after searching the minor’s pockets, the deputy found ten $20 bills ($200) that the boy admitted were given to him by Ives. The St. Louis Post Dispatch reports that the boy allegedly gave Ives a “lap dance” in exchange for the money.

Ives was arrested and charged with enticement of a child, patronizing prostitution 14 years of age and younger, sexual misconduct of a child under 14 and second-degree sodomy. He was held on a $50,000 bond, which he posted overnight.

2Richard Ives has been teaching since 1995 at MICDS, where he is a fine arts teacher and curriculum coordinator.

Richard Joseph Schwartz Ives has been teaching for 23 years at MICDS (since 1995), according to his LinkedIn bio, which states that he was a “Curriculum Coordinator” for the school. A statement from the school after Ives’ arrest also revealed that he is also a Lower School Theater and Art teacher.

The statement, which was also emailed to parents, stated that he had been placed on leave and wouldn’t be allowed back on campus until the investigation was complete. Read the statement in its entirety below:

By now, some of you will have heard that Rich Ives, Lower School Theater and Art Teacher and Director of Camp Pegasus, was arrested on Wednesday, June 13, in St. Genevieve County and reportedly has been charged with sexual misconduct with a minor.

RHOA’s NeNe Leakes Reveals Husband Gregg Has Been Diagnosed With Cancer: “The Fight Begins”

By
Dustin Gary

A few weeks ago, NeNe Leakes of the Real Housewives of Atlanta shared with fans that her husband Gregg had been battling an illness, but didn’t fully disclose what was going on. Now she has revealed that Gregg has been diagnosed with cancer.

NeNe took to Instagram Wednesday to share a photo of Gregg at the MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston showing him sitting next to a computer with the word “cancer” crossed out on the screen. “Our New Normal and the fight begins #f–kcancer,” she captioned the photo, along with the hashtags “#yougotthis” and “#iloveyou.”

Last month, NeNe canceled a string of appearances after announcing that Gregg had been in the hospital for over two weeks.

She said in an Instagram video message to her fans on May 21st: “Today marks the 15th day straight that Gregg has been in the hospital. I find it very difficult to stand on stage and laugh and have a good time and give you guys your money’s worth knowing that my husband’s in the hospital not feeling well.”

NeNe added: “He has said to me over and over again, ‘Go on, go out there, have a good time, do the show, I’m gonna be fine,’ but I find it mentally very hard for me to do. Gregg will be out of the hospital this week, he will be stronger, he will be better and we will be out here doing this show again in no time.”

Gregg returned home on May 23rd after 16 days in the hospital.

“After 16days my hubby, my rock, my best friend @greggleakes returns to the Leakes household!” NeNe captioned an IG photo of Gregg. “This has been really hard on us, our children, family and closest friends. He has a long road ahead but God is good and life is precious! WON’T HE DO IT?”

Fortunately for NeNe and Gregg, they have the support of friends and close family to help them get through this difficult time.

NeNe recently took to Instagram to show some of the gifts that “Housewives” producer Andy Cohen sent to Gregg. “Gregg will be reading for a while because @bravoandy sent him a library,” she captioned a photo showing the books Cohen sent. “Thank you Andy! We really appreciate your love and thoughtfulness #ontheroadtorecovery.”

Leakes also shared a photo of the gift her RHOA co-star Cynthia Bailey sent to Gregg.

“My sis @cynthiabailey10 sent Gregg some of her good smelling relaxing candles! Imma use these We Thank you Bailey and love you #greggontheroadtorecovery,” she captioned a photo of the candles.

RHOA “friend” Marlo Hampton also sent Gregg a gift—a gold embroidered Bible from Neiman Marcus.

NeNe documented Gregg’s hospital visit in an Instagram Live video Wednesday.

Anthony Bourdain Reportedly Cremated in France, Ashes Will Be Flown to U.S.

By
Dustin Gary

Anthony Bourdain has been cremated in France, and his ashes will be flown to the United States on Friday (Jun. 15), according to a new report from People Magazine.

The 61-year-old chef, TV host and author was found dead of suicide in his hotel room in Kayserberg, France last Friday (Jun. 8) while he was in the country shooting an upcoming episode of his CNN show Parts Unknown with his close friend, French-born chef Eric Ripert.

According to CNN, Ripert was the one who found Bourdain dead. French officials said Bourdain committed suicide by hanging himself with the belt from his bathrobe.

French prosecutor Christian de Rocquigny said there was no evidence of foul play or violence involved in the celebrity chef’s death, and a medical expert did not find any signs of violence on Bourdain’s body. “Nothing suggested the involvement of a third person,” Rocquigny said.

Toxicology tests will be performed to determine is Bourdain was under the influence of any drugs or alcohol when he died.

Anthony Bourdain is survived by his mother, Gladys Bourdain, his brother, Christopher Bourdain, his 11-year-old daughter, Ariane Bourdain, his estranged wife Ottavia Busia, and his girlfriend Asia Argento.

Errbody Mad: Tokyo Vanity & Spice’s Fight Sparks All-Out Brawl Between LHHATL Cast Members (VIDEO)

By
Dustin Gary

If you thought Tokyo Vanity and Spice’s purse-throwing brunch brawl on last week’s episode of Love & Hip Hop Atlanta was the last of their beef, you were sadly mistaken.

On this week’s episode, Spice and Tokyo continued their feud with a rousing round two, and this time, damn near everyone else ended up getting into brawls of their own on the side.

It was Tokyo vs. Spice, Estelita vs. Sierra, BK vs. Estelita and so on…

For the past few episodes, Tokyo and Spice have been going at it ever since Tokyo found out her her ex, Tabius, had moved on and was messing around with Spice. Last week, Tokyo (almost) introduced her purse to Spice’s head after Spice kept taunting her about her weight, and this week, the pair ended up sparring again at the dude ranch.

Everyone was sitting down enjoying tacos and burritos when the subject of Rasheeda’s Pressed launch in Houston the night before came up. Spice thanked Rasheeda for the good time, and when Tokyo was trying to explain why she wasn’t there, Spice interjected.

Spice said she didn’t appreciate being talked about behind her back, and Tokyo said she didn’t appreciate being disrespected by Spice. Rasheeda tried to calm the storm, but it was too late by then. Like lost balloons, tensions were already too high for them to be brought back down.

“I don’t have no problems with her but the bitch wanted to keep playing with me!” Tokyo yelled. She could barely even finish her sentence before Spice stood up and tossed her plate at Tokyo, hitting her smack dab in the face. Apparently, Spice doesn’t like being called a “bitch.”

Tokyo tried to go after Spice, but security swooped in and held both of them back as BK rushed over to try and calm Tokyo down. Spice and Tokyo’s fight sparked another battle between Estelita and Sierra when the former accused the latter of flip-flopping between Tokyo and Spice.

Then, when BK Brasco—Sierra’s boyfriend—told Estelita to “chill out” she went off on him: “F**k you and your bitch!” And last, but certainly not least, Spice hopped out the production van (WHILE IT WAS MOVING!) to go for another round, with Estelita not too far behind yer yelling for Sierra: “Where that bish at?! Where that bish at?!”

Damn near the whole LHHATL cast showed out at the dude ranch, y’all. And Joc’s reaction was spot-on: “Boy we had a whole showdown at the O.K. Corral, and I’m looking at the cowboys, they looking like, ‘Man what’s the problem?'” Meanwhile, Sierra just wants to know “What are we fighting for?!”

Who knows, Sierra. Who knows…

Sounds About White: Man Serves Friends Tacos Made From His Amputated Foot

By
Dustin Gary

Ladies and gentlemen, I honestly didn’t think it was possible, but I believe we have officially reached peak caucasity. Like, there is literally nothing that can surpass the level of “WTF, WYPIPO?!” in this story.

In what can only be described as the most white people sh*t you will probably ever hear in your lifetime, a man has admitted to serving his friends tacos made from his amputated foot … and his friends were in on the whole thing. Happy Taco Tuesday!

About two years ago, the man in question was knocked off his motorcycle so bad that he flew into a nearby forest and crushed his foot beyond repair. When doctors told him it was inoperable and he would never be able to walk on it again, they asked him if he wanted to amputate it. He said yes, but he had one question for them: “Can I keep it?”

Doctors allowed him to keep his amputated foot, and on Sunday, July 10th, 2016, just three weeks after the accident, the man (who prefers to remain anonymous for obvious reasons) invited 11 of his most open-minded friends to a special meal. 10 out of the 11 friends agreed.

Their meal consisted of apple strudel, quiche puff pastries, fruit tarts and chocolate cake. They sipped on gin lemonade punches and mimosas. And their main course? Fajita tacos made from the man’s severed foot.

The man, known simply as his Reddit username IncrediblyShinyShart, detailed the whole experience in a Reddit AMA (Ask Me Anything) as well as a recent interview with Vice.

And just in case you’re one of those “pics or it didn’t happen” type of people, he documented the entire ordeal in a photo gallery on imgur, which you can see here … but be warned, the photos there are EXTREMELY GRAPHIC. No, seriously, the very first photo might make you empty your entire stomach contents. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

The biggest question one would have for IncrediblyShinyShart is … “BUT, WHY THO?!”

Here’s what he said:

So my friends and I always had this joke, If you could try human flesh in an ethical and healthy way, would you. And we always said of course. Well the opportunity came up and I called them on it.

Originally I wanted to have [my foot] taxidermied or freeze-dried. How cool would it be to have my freeze-dried or taxidermied foot standing around the house as a lamp or a doorstop or something? All of this came out of the idea that it’s my foot. It’s not going to be cremated and chucked into a landfill. It’s a part of me, and I want it back.

How did he convince the doctor to just hand over his severed foot?

Most hospitals have policies where they will release your body parts to you because of some religions where you have to be buried whole, so I just signed the paperwork. My mom, who was helping me get back on my feet, so to speak, drove me back to pick it up. She doesn’t know I ate it, though. I went inside and the hospital gave me my foot in a red plastic biowaste bag. I brought it to the car and immediately put it in a cooler. It was pretty bizarre.

How did he preserve the foot, and how did he prepare it for cooking?

I got back to my place and I froze it. I couldn’t find a taxidermist who would take me seriously and freeze-drying was too expensive. It would have been $1,200 to freeze dry the thing. If I had the money I would have done it. Eventually, I decided to cast it in plaster to use as a doorstop, then capture a 3D rendering so I can make little keychains.

When we got back to my house, I took the foot out, and it was so gross, man. It was covered in blood and had iodine all over it. After I cleaned it off, I was pleasantly surprised by how well-preserved it was. It’s not like they preserved it in formaldehyde or anything. But when you think about beef, which can be dry-aged for months, I suppose it makes sense.

I had four friends with me at the time, and it was all surreal. We picked it up and were playing with it. It didn’t seem like it was a foot. It just seemed like an object, not a piece of a person. There was no emotional connection. I could think, “Yep, that’s my foot right there,” but there wasn’t some deep part of me that felt weirded out by it. In fact, that was the weirdest part, was that it wasn’t weird.

Before we cast it, I quickly took a knife from my kitchen and cut a chunk off the top of my shin. The skin was already kind of off from the surgery, leaving a big chunk of muscle exposed. I just took the muscle. I put it in a plastic bag and put it in my freezer.

You know that scene in National Lampoon’s Family Vacation where Chevy Chase is just saying, “This is crazy, this is crazy, this is crazy”? That’s how I felt. I thought, “This is probably the peak weirdness of my life. I hope it doesn’t get weirder than this.”

After we cast the leg, I took a bunch of pictures, put it in a box of flowers, and cremated it.

 

Speaking on who would be eating his severed foot, he said:

I called folks who might be amenable. It was only about 2-3 oz that I took off the leg so it couldn’t be a big group, plus only people I knew very well…

I invited 11 people. I said something like, “Remember how we always talked about how, if we ever had the chance to ethically eat human meat, would you do it? Well, I’m calling you on that. We doing this or what?” Ten said yes. I guess we’re a weird group.

There were several different friend groups involved. I approached one group with the idea and they were like, “Totally.” Because how often are you going to get this chance? One friend said she’d ask her boyfriend, a chef, if he would do the cooking. Perfect.

The final tally was the chef and his girlfriend, my ex-girlfriend, one friend from college, two friends I’d had for a couple of years, two I’d known for over 10 years, and one of their daughters, who had also helped me cast the foot. It was a close group.

Another obvious question: How did he cook the foot?

I told the chef my idea and after thinking about it for a couple days he said, “OK, let’s do this. I’m going to prepare it, and you guys just come over tomorrow.”

He marinated it overnight and sauteed it with onions, peppers, salt, pepper, and lime juice. Then he served it on corn tortillas with a tomatillo sauce. [Read the full recipe, transcribed by the chef, here.]

And the most obvious question of them all: What did the foot taste like?

People think it tastes like pork because in movies we hear it called “long pig.” But that term originated in places like Papua New Guinea, where they eat wild boar. They’re not eating our big, fat, domesticated pigs that have white meat. Boars don’t have white meat. They just don’t. I remember eating a heritage pig and it was some of the reddest, most flavorful meat I’d ever had. It was almost like venison. And I think it’s more akin to that.

This particular cut was super beefy. It had a very pronounced, beefy flavor to it. The muscle I cut was tough and chewy. It tasted good, but the experience wasn’t the best.

On this scale, I would give it a solid 6.5, but keep in mind that I have had a lot of good food. So it’s way better than a hot dog or regular burger. Maybe equal with regular bacon, which is pretty decent. But nowhere near as good as butter seared sea scallops or a rare sous vide tenderloin seared in grapeseed oil in a cast iron pan.

It was from a healthy part of the amputation, I’m a healthy person, waste not, want not, and they [my friends] all consented. As far as I know, they are all still cool with it. It’s a fun weird thing.

There was this queasy anticipation. We all looked at each other like, “We doing this, right? We’re doing this.”

There was very dark humor, which we all already have in spades. I think that’s why this went so well. We were cracking jokes the whole time. I said at one point, “Well, today was the day I was inside 10 of my friends at once.” I got a phone call the next day from a friend saying, “Hey, just so you know, I pooped you out. Sorry.”

There was a sense that this was a bonding experience. We could share this really unique experience together. And it was a way for me to close a lid on this part of my life.

Asked why he decided to tell the story two years after it happened, he said:

It’s a story that’s great to tell someone who already knows you, but it weirds a lot of people out. It’s taken me time to get comfortable with it. It’s pretty out there. I put it out on Reddit because it’s pretty much anonymous. I like the really outrageous stuff that some people post there, and I felt this was a way I could properly contribute to this community.

What I did was technically not illegal. I didn’t sell it. I didn’t give it to people without their consent. It was mine. We couldn’t find any real laws against weird stuff like this. So I’m not worried about legal stuff. I just don’t want to be known as that weird cannibal guy. It doesn’t really represent who I am.

He ended his interview with Vice by explaining how eating his own foot changed the way he feels about cannibalism:

It has a stigma. It’s associated with cultures that aren’t perceived as civilized, or situations where people are forced into it to survive. They see it as barbaric, so they wonder why I would go out and do it on a whim. But people eat the placenta after a child is born. That’s cannibalism, I don’t see any way around it.

I think you can ethically be a cannibal in certain situations. I don’t have some hunger to go hunt people down and gnaw off their faces. This was one experience where I had the chance to do something unique in a healthy and ethical manner. I did it and it was fun and cool, and I have a great story.

COOL STORY, BRO. NOT!

If this isn’t the most white people sh*t you’ve ever heard of, I don’t know what is.

Henry Sintay (aka “Jogger Joe”): Man Who Threw Homeless Man’s Belongings Into Lake Arrested for Robbery

By
Dustin Gary

The man described by my favorite website, Very Smart Brothas, as the “worst white man in America” has finally been identified.

Henry Sintay has reportedly been arrested on robbery charges, and his friends have also identified him as the jogger (aka “Jogger Joe”) who went viral for tossing a homeless black man’s belongings into Lake Merritt in Oakland, California.

If the name “Lake Merritt” sounds familiar to you, it should, because that’s the same lake where “BBQ Becky” Jennifer Schulte harassed a group of innocent black people for BBQing with a charcoal grill.

Here’s what we know about Henry Sintay so far:

1“Jogger Joe,” whom acquaintances have identified as Henry Sintay, was filmed throwing a homeless man’s things into the trash and a nearby lake.

Over the weekend, a shirtless and bearded white man only known at the time as “Jogger Joe,” was recorded on video rummaging through a homeless black man’s belongings and tossing them into the trash and a lake in Oakland, California.

Henry Sintay was jogging Saturday evening (Jun. 9) when he came across the homeless person’s things and decided to throw them away. Sintay first took the man’s belongings to a nearby trashcan, but he also appeared to throw some of his stuff into the lake.

When an onlooker pointed out to Sintay what he had done, he tried to claim it was an accident, but the person wasn’t buying what he was selling and told him “No, it wasn’t [an accident]… I saw you drag and throw it in.”

Acquaintances who watched the video after it went viral on social media said “Jogger Joe” was someone they knew—Henry Sintay.

The original video footage was filmed by J.J. Harris and then shared by Kristin Gallup to the Lake Neighbors Facebook group, where it quickly gained traction. Harris wrote:

“I am still stunned that yesterday I captured this video of some guy throwing a homeless man’s belongings into Lake Merritt and around the area. The police showed up soon after as the guy ran away to continue his workout. They said they couldn’t do anything because the homeless man’s possessions are considered ‘debris.’ Only possibility is he ‘may’ get a fine for littering. This is ridiculous that these are the kind of people who are living in Oakland now. Please share. This bro needs to go down.”

A man named Refugio Cuco commented on Harris’ video, saying he knew the man whose belongings were tossed away. “He has been trying really hard to get his life together after dealing with complicated MEDICAL problems,” he wrote.

Harris, who lives near the Bay Area park and is familiar with the homeless man, later identified simply as “Drew,” said the man’s items were always relegated to the corner and were “not blocking the walkway.” Harris told The Guardian he started recording once he saw “huge amounts of blankets” being tossed into the lake.

Oakland City Councilmember Lynette Gibson responded to Harris’ video and said she would be sending it to the City Administration and would reply after she found out what the local laws were in regards to the belongings of unsheltered people.

2Sintay assaulted another man, stole his phone and took off running with it.

Another video related to the incident recorded by another man, Matt Nelson, shows Sintay returning to the lake and trying to remove items that fell into the lake, according to Sintay.

Sintay explained to Nelson that he’s always throwing away trash in the area, and he considered the man’s belongings “trash.” Asked why he was in the lake taking stuff out, Sintay claimed he was “trying to do the f**king right thing” because he didn’t want to “pollute the lake.”

Sintay then acknowledged that he’d seen the destitute man in the area before and that he knew what he was throwing away was the man’s stuff, but he didn’t care because he still considered it trash.

“He’s been a resident here for a long time,” the videographer said, referring to “Drew,” who didn’t appear to be in the area at the time. “He has no place to have his stuff, so just leave him alone,” a passerby said to the group. “He’s not bothering anybody.”

When Nelson asked Sintay what his name was (he hadn’t been identified at the time of the recording), instead of answering, Sintay—who noticed that he was being recorded—appeared to assault Nelson and grabbed his phone before taking off with it. You can actually hear Nelson crying out for help in the video and saying that he’s being attacked.

Unbeknownst to Sintay, the video was filmed on Facebook Live, so it was posted (and remains online) even though Nelson no longer has access to his phone, which was stolen by Sintay. Watch above.

According to Nelson, Sintay did not return his phone and he had to go to the emergency room after being injured from Sintay’s assault.

Nelson wrote on Facebook:

“Is this that same dude? UPDATE: Thank you, loved ones! And thanks especially to my amazing nephew, Theo! Henry and his “friend” assaulted me multiple times, I was also dragged by their moving vehicle and hit a few times in the head, but I’m safe now. Still do not have my phone. Please keep calling it and if Henry picks up, I’d like it back. I’ll continue to share the story and folks should feel free to reach out to me here or via email.

“QUICK UPDATE #2: Thankful for the ER staff who assessed my injuries and thankful for my hard head! Even more thankful for the kind and loving friends and family who have been looking out for me and taking care of me. And, thankful to my community, who knows that Oakland can be a place where the dignity, safety and full human rights of everyone can be defended, protected, and affirmed. I know we have a long way to go, but I also know we have no choice but to get there…onward!

“BRIEF UPDATE #3: I am recovering from a mild concussion, some cuts and bruises, and many sore and strained muscles. Your love, food, joy, outrage, companionship, laughter, rides, check-ins, insight, and incredible displays of compassion have helped me heal and prepared me for the work ahead. Deepest thanks to everyone who has reached out with love and support! You have taken care of me, and for this, I am deeply grateful.

“And let’s not lose focus: HOUSING IS A HUMAN RIGHT. While my wounds will heal, the deep wounds of inequality and injustice in #Oakland will fester unless we dramatically improve how we treat our neighbors who are unhoused, unsheltered, or on the verge of losing their housing. This is a moral and cultural issue and a reflection of our values as much (or more) than it is a policy and civil code issue. And our values and morals must guide our political decisions. We can do much better by our people. And to achieve this, we need you and the love you’ve shown me to lead us forward to a town rooted in full dignity and human rights for all.”

3Henry Sintay has been arrested on first-degree robbery charges.

According to Oakland News Now, a man named Henry William Sintay was arrested by Oakland police on first-degree robbery charges Monday afternoon (Jun. 11). Sintay’s charges apparently stem from the theft of Matt Nelson’s phone after he was filmed throwing the homeless man’s belongings in the trash and a nearby lake.

The arrest report states that Sintay was cuffed around 1 p.m. Monday and booked just after 9 p.m. the same day at the Glenn E. Dyer Detention Facility in Downtown Oakland. The 30-year-old’s bail was set at $100,000 and he will be arraigned Wednesday morning (Jun. 13).

That Sintay was arrested and charged with robbery and not assault seems to be pure luck on his part, considering he did attack the man he also robbed.

4Henry Sintay’s apparent Facebook page shows a man who appears to live a “hippy” and “outdoorsy” lifestyle.

While Henry Sintay himself hasn’t made a public post about the incident, a number of people who know him have ID’d him as the “Jogger Joe” seen in the viral video tossing out a homeless man’s belongings.

We came across what appears to be Sintay’s Facebook profile, and on the page is a photo of a man who strongly resembles the man seen in the videos. The profile also lists the man’s location as Lower Lake, California.

Sintay’s Facebook page also includes an interesting set of photos of him and his friends that would lead one to believe he lives a kind of “hippy” and “outdoorsy” lifestyle. He also appears to have “white people dreadlocks” in some photos that show him at what looks like the Burning Man Festival.

5An online criminal record for Henry Sintay reveals that he was arrested in 2015 for marijuana-related offenses.

According to an online arrest record, Sintay was arrested in June 2015 and charged for cultivating and possessing marijuana for sale, along with a charge of conspiracy to commit a crime.

The online arrest record from ArrestFacts.com states that Sintay was released from a jail in Lake County, California on November 17th, 2017—more than two years after his arrest. The record also lists his birthplace as Boise, ID and his occupation (at the time of his arrest) as construction.

One odd thing about that 2015 record though is that it lists his birthday as October 10th, 1979, while his recent arrest record (for the robbery charge) lists his birthday as November 10th, 1987. The mugshot related to the 2015 arrest, however, definitely resembles the same Henry Sintay we found on Facebook as well as the man seen in the viral videos.

6A GoFundMe page has been set up for the homeless man, simply identified as “Drew,” by Kenzie Smith, the same man who was harassed by “BBQ Becky” Jennifer Schulte.

Oakland residents have banded together to help “Drew,” who has been identified as the homeless man who lost his belongings at the hands of Henry Sintay.

“If you live in Oakland, you’ve seen this homeless man. He is sweet and kind and friendly. You know where his spot is,” a woman named Anastasia Kuba wrote on Facebook. “Stop by today with some clothing, sleeping bag, blanket, sandwich or/and cash. This man deserves better and we should stick up for him.”

In response to the incident, Kenzie Smith—the same man who was harassed by “BBQ Becky” Jennifer Schulte last month—told the San Francisco Chronicle that he and his friend, J.J. Harris (the man who filmed the original video of Sintay) tried to track down the homeless man “Drew” to reach out to him and provide any needed assistance.

“With me and my situation arrived with BBQ Becky, I vowed to City Hall that I would not have another BBQ Becky,” Smith said, referencing the incident at Lake Merritt in which “BBQ Becky” called the police on him for BBQing with a charcoal grill. “When [Harris’] video broke, I was outside at the lake, I found Drew and I talked to him, gave him food and water. I went back out that night to make sure no one messed with him again.”

Smith said he called on the community to donate items, and “Drew” was provided with clothing, groceries, blankets and other things to replace some of his belongings that Sintay threw away. Smith said Drew was very thankful for the donations.

On Sunday, Harris announced on the Lake Neighbors Facebook group that people were “looking for a more permanent housing solution for Drew” and had established a GoFundMe account in Drew’s name.

The GoFundMe page reads:

Millions of people across the world have seen the video of that shows a white woman who called the police on me and a friend for #BBQingWhileBlack. This week lots of you will probably see another video from Lake Merritt in Oakland that shows a man throwing a homeless man’s belongings into the lake.

That homeless man’s name is Drew (he’s in the middle in the pic) and he’s lived at Lake Merritt for a long time. Like the thousands of other people in the Bay Area without homes, Drew is one of our neighbors. We’re disgusted that someone thought it was ok to treat Drew this way and want to show him through our care that what happened to him is unacceptable. It’s not ok to destroy someone’s things just because they are homeless. Help us show Drew that his community is here for him and that we care.

All donations will go towards our goal of replacing everything that was thrown in the lake including:

– clothing
– shoes
– food
– bedding
– other essential items.

If we meet our goal, we’d also be able to get him a tent so he can sleep more peacefully and his belongings can be more protected. Drew told us that would help him feel more safe after this incident.

Please donate today and help support Drew. No donation is too big or too small and all money will go directly to getting Drew what he needs. We’ll also provide updates each time we do something for Drew.

Let’s show how Oakland really treats each other.

Thank you for reading and please share!!

As of the writing of this article, Drew’s GoFundMe has exceeded its $3,000 goal with nearly $8,000 in donations.

Dennis Rodman, Wearing MAGA Hat, Breaks Down Crying Over Donald Trump’s Meeting With Kim Jong Un in Singapore (VIDEO)

By
Dustin Gary

Though President Donald Trump’s meeting with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un is certainly a historic moment on its own, Dennis Rodman somehow managed to steal the spotlight away from the Trump-Kim meeting during his appearance on CNN Monday night (Jun. 11).

The NBA legend and longtime friend of Kim Jong Un, who has paid several visits to North Korea over the years, was on hand in Singapore to support Donny and Kim’s face-to-face meeting, and he turned into a big ole ball of emotions during a bizarre live interview with CNN’s Chris Cuomo.

Wearing a red “Make America Great Again” hat, sunglasses, a t-shirt promoting a marijuana-related cryptocurrency company called Pot Coin (who sponsored his trip to Singapore), and his trademark face rings, of course, Dennis broke down in tears while discussing all it took to get to this moment.

The crocodile tears began to flow when Rodman recalled America’s reaction to his first visit to North Korea in 2013:

“When I went back home, I got so many death threats. When I came home, I couldn’t even go home. I had to hide out for 30 days. But I kept my head up high, brother. I knew things were going to change.”

He slammed former President Barack Obama for not taking his BFF Kim Jong Un seriously when he was in office.

Rodman said that Kim had told him “certain” things to relay to Obama about potential negotiations between the U.S. and North Korea, but Obama “didn’t even give me the time of day—he just brushed me off, but that didn’t deter me.”

Rodman also offered Trump some advice about how to gain the North Korean leader’s trust:

“President Trump should understand the fact that the reason the Marshal of North Korea [Kim Jong Un] respects Dennis Rodman is the fact that he trusts me, and I gave him something for his birthday—and I thought I couldn’t pull this off—and I said the day before his birthday, I’m gonna give you a present.”

That present Rodman promised Kim Jong Un was to bring a professional basketball team to North Korea “even though I knew I couldn’t do it,” he said, adding that he quickly realized he needed to come through with his promise, otherwise there would be a “problem.”

After helping train North Korean basketball players and arranging to bring former NBA players to the country, Rodman said Kim told him, “Dennis, you know, this is the first time someone ever kept their word to me in this country.”

Rodman said the moment was emotional and he encouraged Trump to show his “heart” to Kim, who Rodman described as a “big kid” who just wants to have “fun.”

Dennis added, “If Trump can pull this off, more power to him.” The basketball star claimed that Trump reached out to him prior to the summit through a secretary to tell him how “very proud” of him he was. “We don’t need a miracle, but we need the doors to be open so we can start fresh,” Rodman said of the historic meeting between Trump and Kim Jong Un.

“I just wanna bring sports to North Korea,” Rodman said. “That’s it, sports. … I’m just so happy to be here, man,” he added, calling Monday, June 11th “the world’s day.”

“Donald Trump should take a lot of credit for this. He went out the box and made this happen,” Rodman said.

Tabbie Duncan: Fast Facts About Racist Missouri Waitress Fired Over “N**ger Hunting” Video

By
Dustin Gary

A 20-year-old Missouri woman captured on video bragging about going “n**ger hunting” is going to be hunting for a new job now after the footage of her racist comment went viral on social media.

According to the Riverfront Times, Tabitha “Tabbie” Duncan has been fired from her job at a St. Louis restaurant and is facing outrage on social media just hours after a video of her using the n-word was posted to Snapchat and re-shared on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

Duncan can be heard in the video using the racial slur while others talk about going “n**ger hunting.” The shocking video footage was shared on Facebook on Sunday (Jun. 10) by someone who saw it on Snapchat and has since been shared all over social media.

On Monday, Duncan, a 20-year-old resident of Jefferson County, Missouri was fired by the Social Bar and Grill, a restaurant described by the Riverfront Times as a “breastaurant,” the bar said on Facebook.

Duncan has since deleted most of her social media profiles and had tweeted on June 10th that she had “dropped to her knees in prayer.”

Here’s everything you need to know about Tabbie Duncan and the racist video:

1Tabbie Duncan says “You get them n**gers!” in the video.

[videopress ammtmID0 permalink=”false” hd=”true”]

The brief video shows 20-year-old Tabitha “Tabbie” Duncan riding on top of a pickup truck down a dark country road.

“So we’re going n**ger hunting today or what?” a man off camera asks. “We’re going n**ger hunting,” another man answers. “We’re f**king n**ger hunting right now,” the off-camera man replies.

“You get them n**gers,” Duncan says, encouraging the men with a smile, as the man behind the camera says, “Look at my soon-to-be sister-in-law! She looks so pretty!”

The 13-second clip—possibly the most racist, backwoods redneck video online at the moment—was originally uploaded to Snapchat by a woman named Brianna Nicole Haas. One of the men in the video has been identified as Joshua Davenport and the other guy hasn’t been named yet.

The footage was re-posted on Facebook by a woman named Alexis Morris and re-shared by a man named Lee Merritt. Merritt, prominent Los Angeles attorney, wrote:

I came across this on my timeline a moment ago. It’s disgusting. (Shared by ally Alexis Morris)

Apparently, this woman—Tabbie Duncan of St. Louis, MO—was out with a group of conspirators this weekend “n**ger hunting”. It’s seems Tabbie and her soon to be in-laws (one identified by Alexis as Joshua Davenport) were out celebrating her recent enrollment in the US Air-force.

If you’re ever looking for a compass to determine what era we live in, we live in the era where a white woman enrolls in the US armed forces and goes “n**ger hunting” to celebrate. This is America.

2The Social Bar & Grill said that Tabbie Duncan was “immediately terminated” after they found out about the video.

Social Bar and Grill’s Facebook page was inundated with comments between Sunday night and Monday morning about their employee, Tabbie Duncan, who was prominently featured in several photos on the page in her waitressing uniform—a tube top and black leggings.

After the video went viral, Social Bar & Grill removed all of Duncan’s photos and posted a message Monday afternoon confirming that Duncan had been fired from her job.

“Social Bar & Grill and [its] owners have recently become aware of a vile, disgusting, and offensive video made by one of its employees,” the Facebook post read. “Upon learning of this, Social Bar & Grill immediately terminated this employee as soon as they could reach her! The incendiary comments made by this employee absolutely [do] NOT represent the views, opinions, and policies of Social Bar & Grill and it’s owners. Nor will they be tolerated in any fashion. Social Bar & Grill and [its] owners continue to encourage and seek diversity in its restaurant.”

3Duncan had recently enlisted in the U.S. Air Force and works (or has worked) at a St. Louis area hospital.

According to a social media post from a family member, Tabitha “Tabbie” Duncan recently enlisted in the United States Air Force.

The person wrote in the May 31st post, which shows Duncan sandwiched between the American flag and the U.S. Air Force flag with her right hand raised as if she was being sworn in, “So Tabbie Duncan did a thing today. Welcome to the United States Air Force!! So proud of you.”

When asked on Facebook about the video, a representative from the U.S. Air Force Recruiting page replied, “We have been made aware of a video online of an alleged reserve Airman who made racially insensitive comments. We are looking into the matter and we appreciate this being brought to our attention. The U.S. Air Force values diversity and inclusion; our Airmen come together to produce an incredible team that can accomplish any mission and overcome any challenge. We believe that our greatest asset is our diverse, innovative and technically-savvy workforce. Our Airmen come from all backgrounds and remarks such as these do not fall in line with our culture. We take incidents like this very seriously and action will be taken upon further investigation as necessary.”

Based on other social media posts, it is believed that Duncan works (or has previously worked) at Barnes-Jewish West County Hospital in Creve Couer, Missouri—a city located in west St. Louis County.

A photo on her Instagram page shows her wearing what appears to be a shirt with a hospital logo on it, blue gloves and a hospital employee badge clipped to her shirt. It wasn’t immediately clear what job she has (or had) at the hospital, which has not commented about Duncan’s employment status or the video.

4Duncan is an aspiring model and has shared several modeling photos on her Instagram page.

In addition to her now former waitressing job, being a recent Air Force recruit and a hospital worker, Tabbie Duncan is also apparently an aspiring model.

Duncan’s Instagram page is filled with photos from modeling shoots and she also has a modeling page on Google Photos under the name “Tabitha K. Duncan” featuring a number of pictures from photoshoots taken between October 2017 and February 2018.

5Duncan’s Facebook page had pro-trump memes and memes attacking NFL players. As the “n**ger hunting” video went viral, she posted a quote saying, “Everyone makes mistakes in life” before deleting her page.

According to the Riverfront Times, after the “n**ger” hunting video started going viral, Tabbie Duncan quickly deleted her social media accounts, including her Facebook account, where she posted pro-Trump memes and a meme bashing NFL players for kneeling during the National Anthem.

Before deleting her page, Duncan posted a quote that said, “Everyone makes, mistakes in life, but that doesn’t mean they have to pay for them the rest of their life/sometimes good people make bad choices/It doesn’t mean they are bad.”

Anthony Bourdain’s ex-wife Ottavia Busia shared a photo of their daughter Ariane, calling the 11-year-old “so strong and brave” just days after the celebrity chef’s suicide.

Busia posted the photo on Instagram early Monday morning (Jun. 11) showing Ariane—wearing black and tall studded boots—holding a microphone while performing a concert at DROM music venue in Manhattan’s Alphabet City.

“Our little girl had her concert today. She was amazing. So strong and brave,” the proud mom captioned the pic. “She wore the boots you bought her. I hope you are having a good trip, wherever you are.”

Ariane is Bourdain and Busia’s only child.

Bourdain and Busia—an Italian-born trained MMA fighter who studied the art of Brazilian jiu-jitsu—were married for nine years, between 2007 and 2016. They wed the week after Ariane’s birth.

Ottavia was Anthony’s second wife. His first marriage, with a woman named Nancy Putkoski, lasted for 20 years, between 1985 and 2005. He was dating Italian actress Asia Argento at the time of his death, though reports suggest they were estranged in his final days (either that or she was cheating on him with a French journalist).
