Calvin Broadus, better known as rapper Snoop Dogg, has been sued by Roger Kalaouz, a Lebanese business man, alleging the rapper damaged his reputation by publishing a video showing him ”conspicuously smoking what he promoted as marijuana” at a Beirut bar – which is illegal in Lebanon, Courthouse News reports. Um, he’s a fool if he doesn’t that Snoop Dogg is known for marijuana use. Kalaouz also claims the rapper owes him money for a Middle East tour.

Courthouse News:  Roger Kalaouz and Associates sued Broadus pka Snoop Dog, Doggy Style Music, and Doggy Style Music president Ted Chung, in Federal Court.

Kalaouz claims his company promoted Snoop Dogg’s first concert in the Middle East, an Aug. 20, 2009 show at the Forum in Beirut, Lebanon. “RKA performed all of its obligations under the agreement and incurred out-of-pocket expenses in excess of $800,000 directly related to promoting and arranging the concert,” the complaint states.

Um, Roger Kalaouz should have done his homework before he went into business with Snoop Dogg. Right or wrong, he is the consummate weed smoker.  Um, not to excuse the crazy lifestyle of Snoop Dogg, but you get what you pay for…..

Leonard Hart Kills Lois Hart, Wife of 60 Years, in Apparent Murder-Suicide, Leaves Angry Note

April 17, 2012 by 3 Comments

EUGENE MURDER-SUICIDE:  Leonard Hart, 84, killed his wife of 60 years, Lois Hart, in an apparent murder-suicide in their Eugene, Ore., home. He left a note expressing anger towards her.

Deputies went to the couple’s home on Sunday after a 55-year-old daughter found them dead in the kitchen.

They were last seen Friday. Harrold says sheriff’s officers don’t believe that Lois Hart was a willing participant in the double death. The officer declined to reveal details about the note. Source

I am shaking my head at this case. You stayed married for 60 years to someone you had so much anger towards? That makes no sense at all.

Houston Police Dodge Lawsuit Over Shooting of Black Man Robert Tolan in Case of Mistaken Identity

April 10, 2012 by Leave a Comment

A federal judge ruled police officers involved in the shooting  of Robert Tolan, a young black man in the affluent Bellaire community in Houston, have have immunity against the claims they detained and shot in the mistaken belief that he stole a car. The judge believes the police officer was justified in shooting Tolan because he feared for his life.

After 12 cars were stolen in the affluent Houston community of Bellaire on Dec. 30, 2008, police were on high alert as New Year’s Eve dawned. At 1:50 a.m., Officer John Edwards saw Robert Tolan make a sudden turn in Nissan SUV and followed him in his patrol car.

After parking the Nissan at the home he shared with his parents, Bobby and Marian Tolan, and he and his cousin Anthony Cooper got out of the vehicle. As he watched the men remove items from of the SUV, Edwards typed the Nissan’s license plate into his police car’s computer.

Edwards typed one digit in wrong, and the vehicle came back stolen. After radioing for backup, Edwards shined his flashlight on Tolan and Cooper and approached the pair with his gun drawn, ordering them down to the ground. Though Tolan and Cooper initially ignored Edwards’ demands, they say they went to the ground when Tolan’s parents, Bobby and Marian, came outside, saw what was going on, and told them to shut up and lie down.

As Cotton parked his patrol car, he saw Edwards standing in the Tolans’ front yard with his gun drawn. Marian was moving around the yard, agitated and upset, questioning why the police were there. Cotton drew his gun and approached Edwards, who told him the two car-burglary suspects were on the ground.

Cotton then grabbed Marian by the arm and moved her toward the garage. Her son, Robert, who was lying on the porch facing the home, yelled, “Get your fucking hands off my mom,” and began to turn and get up. The sergeant then pushed Marion against the garage door and quickly fired three shots at Robert, one of which punctured his lung and lodged in his liver.

So, it’s okay for an officer to shoot an innocent man after he enters the wrong license plate number in his system? Now Robert Tolan’s injuries have ended his aspirations of becoming a professional basketball player, following in his father’s footsteps and we should accept it as such? It should be noted that a jury acquitted Sgt. Cotton of criminal charges for the shooting in May 2010.

Police Arrest Binh Thai Luc in Grisly Murders of Five People in San Francisco Home Owned by Yingxue 'Jess' Lei (San Francisco Police)

Binh Thai Luc, 35, was arrested Sunday for the quintuple murder in a San Francisco home last week. He was booked on five counts of murder. The bodies of three women and two men were found early Friday morning by a woman with access to the home in the Ingleside District. Police were initially unable to ascertain if it was a quadruple murder-suicide or the  murderer was still at large.

Police Chief Greg Suhr said, “This was a complex crime scene. We had five deceased persons apparently from blunt force trauma. We didn’t know what we had.” It is not clear what the motive for the murders are, but the police chief said the suspect know the victims and an ‘edged weapon’ was involved in the slayings. Luc’s brother, Brian Luc, was also arrested, but on unrelated charges of drugs and ammunition possession and probation violation. Binh Thai Luc had a prior criminal arrest, but the Suhr did not elaborate on what that entailed.

The home where the murders occurred is owned by software engineer Yingxue ‘Jess’ Lei, who coworkers feared is among the deceased.

French Elle Nathalie Dolivo Praises President Obama, Michelle Obama for “Teaching Blacks How to Dress”

January 25, 2012 by 2 Comments

French Elle magazine’s Nathalie Dolivo ‘praises’ President Obama and First Lady for showing African-Americans how to dress. Unbelievable. Here’s what Dolivo said:

In this America led for the first time a black president, the chic has become a plausible option for a community so far pegged to its codes [of] streetwear … But if in 2012 the “black-geoisie” has integrated all the white codes, it does not [do so] literally. [There] is always a classic twist, with a bourgeois ethnic reference (a batik-printed turban/robe, a shell necklace, a ‘créole de rappeur’) that recalls the roots.

[...]

“There is always a classic twist, with a bourgeois ethnic reference (a batik-printed turban/robe, a shell necklace, a ‘créole de rappeur’) that recalls the roots,” she said.

Really? Wow. How incredibly racist. Thank God Almighty that the Obamas have taught blacks to dress like white people. Exactly why does Nathalie Dolivo feel the need to coin a new phrase, black-geosie? Why am I not surprised at the racist rhetoric being spewed by French Elle? This is the same magazine that dissed Rihanna, calling her  “a nigga bitch” a month ago. Well, we all know that racism is quite prevalent in the fashion industry. How else can you explain the scant numbers of black and Latino models on the runways?

What a dumbass! How many black and biracial blacks live in France, that surely she should realize this is a load of crap. This is journalism at its worst.

Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter Calls Reprisal Shooter Axel Barreto “a Dog” for Killing Three Teens

January 13, 2012 by Leave a Comment

Philadelphia mayor Michael Nutter had some strong words for Axel Barreto, who was arrested for a reprisal shooting that left three teens dead, calling him “a dog.” He also had some choice words for the parents of Philly’s seven teens, “not to act like idiots and assholes.” Tell ‘em Mayor Michael Nutter. Some of the worst elements of society call Philadelphia home and I can imagine how frustrating it must be to deal with this mess on a daily basis. He said the teens who were killed Tuesday night were looking for trouble and they found it in a trigger-happy parent, Axel Barreto.

“Seven young people, somewhere between 14 and 16 years old, on a Tuesday night, a school night, are out in a car going to somewhere to have a fight with some other teenager. That is completely insane, it is irresponsible. Parents have to know where their children are and what they are doing,” the mayor said. Source: CBS Philadelphia

Axel Barreto wounded four of the seven teens. Two of the teens, Javier Orlandi and Joshua Soto, were pronounced dead at St. Christopher’s Hospital just before 11 p.m. Tuesday, while Dante Lugo died Wednesday night. Axel Barreto, who has a long rap sheet, including at least seven arrests since 2000, confessed to killing the teens. As sad as this is, Javier Orlandi, Joshua Soto, Dante Lugo and the other four teens were up to no good when they met their match. However, Axel Barreto was the adult and should have acted accordingly. He could have broken up the fight and dealt with the disagreement by being a man, a decent man. But instead, he pulled out a gun and fired indiscriminately, showing that he had little regard for human life and yes, that makes him worst than a rabid dog.
