Local veteran missing after going to buy car via Craigslist
ST. LOUIS (KTVI) – A local Army veteran’s family fears the worst after he goes missing. They suspect Craigslist may have played a role in the disappearance.
According to investigators with the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department, 22-year-old Robert Polk went missing Saturday. Polk’s family believes something went wrong after he left home looking for a vehicle he saw on Craigslist and never returned.
“I fear that he got on Craigslist looking for a car. I’m thinking he met up with the wrong person,” said Hayleen Jones, Polk’s mother.
Polk was last seen around 7 p.m. on October 3, wearing a black sweatshirt and black sweatpants.
His family said he worked through a temp agency and had been saving his hard-earned money to buy a car. Polk’s mother said he was very excited after searching various Craigslist posts and finally found a car he liked.
“Went to go meet the person that to buy the car, he’d been talking to someone about a black Mustang and has not been back since,” she said.
Polk was considered a standout football player at Hazelwood East High School. He served two years in the Army and remains on reserve list. His mother said he loved serving his country.
“He had traveled places before he never been. He was just proud. I was a proud mom that he went into the Army and did something with his life,” Jones said.
“He’s been missing too many days. He’s not a child to be gone 24 hours without calling.”
Anyone with information on Robert Polk’s whereabouts should call 911.

Dear White People Review
Although this movie is a year old that still doesn’t mean I can’t review it! I can honestly say that Dear White People was one of the best movies I saw in 2014. It was definitely worth the money.
For those who haven’t seen it, Dear White People is a satirical comedy of the lives of several black students as they go through their daily lives on a predominantly white campus.
The films main character Sam White, a biracial black revolutionary who’s determined to save the college’s only black student housing. Lionel Higgins, a gay black sophomore who dreams of being a journalist but also endures harassment by his dorm mates. Colandera “CoCo” Jones, a girl who I can only describe as the opposite of Sam and Troy Fairbanks, a political science major who has secret dreams of being a comedian.
There was never a dull moment in this movie. All of the characters grab your attention, some you empathize with some you laugh with or at depending on the situation.
This movie also sheds a light on racial tensions between some black and white students at universities. This movie has and will continue to spark dialogues. All in all I give this movie a 10/10 if you haven’t seen it you’re missing out!
Mom Whoops And Punches Son Over Bad Grades
Well Florida is back in the news and this time it’s from Pembroke Pines. A mother is facing child abuse charges after police say she beat and punched her 12-year-old son because of bad grades, which left him with a black eye.
According to the police, Sarah Dennis’ 12 year old son brought home three F’s on his report card about 2 weeks ago. The boy told police that his mother then told him to strip down to his underwear and proceeded to beat with him with a belt.
Dennis why is 25 by the way, continued to beat the boy with the belt. She then started punching him leaving him with a black eye. The boy was forced to speak with a school counselor after he was reported of having a black eye. Dennis’ other 11 year old son also brought home bad grades and was beaten as well but was not punched.
Dennis has since been arrested and charged with child abuse. She made appearances in two courtrooms on Wednesday once in bond court and another in front of a juvenile judge. She found out the only way she can see her three kids is during a supervised visit.
First off let me point out that this woman is 25 with TWO PRETEEN KIDS! While three F’s is bad that doesn’t justify beating and punching your child as punishment. Want him to improve? Get him in after school programs, get a tutor, or actually sit down and help him with his work.

800-pound man says hospital kicked him out for ordering pizza
PROVIDENCE, RI – A Rhode Island man who weighs just under 800 pounds has been kicked out of the hospital for ordering a pizza.
Steven Assanti, 33, says his eating addiction is what led him to here, the trunk of his father’s SUV, with no place to go.
For the past 80 days, Steven was getting the help he needed at Rhode Island Hospital, where he lost twenty pounds. But after Steven violated his care plan by ordering pizza, Steven says the hospital told him he could no longer stay.
“I was supposed to stay there and lose all my weight and get down to 550lbs, to get the gastric bypass. That was their plan.” said Steven Assanti.
A spokesperson for Rhode Island Hospital tells NBC 10 they can’t speak about Steven or any patient’s treatment.
“And if he comes home and I do get him up the stairs some how, some way, he’s gonna go right back to his eating habits.” said father Steven Veillette.
Steven’s father says taking his son home will be death sentence. So the two men say they will continue to drive until they find a place that can help.

Detectives said Ralph Sawyer, he goes by Drew, used the church’s ATM card at Florissant bank to steal tens of thousands of dollars from the churches savings account. Sawyer is charged with one count of felony stealing.
One of Sawyer’s neighbor, who did not want to be identified, said, “Oh gee, I’m not going to judge anybody that’s for darn sure but I am shocked that the man, he’s just so kind.
Sawyer pastored at the Lindsay Lane Missionary Baptist Church in Florissant. In June and July police said Sawyer stole a lot of money from his own congregation. Sawyer was suspended of his duties, he later resigned. Florissant Police Detective Andy Haarmann added, “Several withdraws were made by Sawyer’s ATM cards amounting to over 21 thousand dollars.”
There were 35 withdrawals from a bank on Howdershell Road and from an ATM at this downtown St. Louis hotel, detectives say Sawyer told them had met a 20-year-old girl online. Haarmann said, “He said he initiated a relationship with a young lady as a result of that relationship he withdrew the funds to help continue the relationship. Madden: was she blackmailing him? It’s unclear how their relationship progressed he made some statements to indicate them and he made others to refute that.”
Police said the girlfriend is not being charged. Neighbors said recently men’s clothes were strewn across the front yard of Sawyer’s home. They witnessed Sawyer’s wife and children moving out.
Sawyer’s neighbor said, “All religions have problems I’m sure, this just happened to come out in the open, when you steal from the church that’s serious very serious.”
Detective Haarmann said, “He is devastated, just the whole incident, he’s embarrassed of the incident the shame it’s brought his family his wife and his children. He’s very remorseful.”
The church’s web site indicated members were rallying around Sawyer’s wife and children.
In a statement church members said they are saddened by the actions of their former pastor. They believe the situation is between Ralph Sawyer, God and the judicial process.
Lindsay Lane Baptist Church sent this release to the media:

Spy Agencies Infiltrating and Warping Online Activism
According to Greenwald, the documents themselves reflect the agency’s own awareness that it is “pushing the boundaries” by using “cyber offensive” techniques against people who have nothing to do with terrorism or national security threats. Indeed, he says, the programs centrally involve law enforcement agents who investigate ordinary crimes. (Photo: Reuters/Kacper Pempel)
The Man has always watched us; listened when it came to activism as soon as the internet hit they’ve been watching and waiting for the right time to strike. THE MIGHTY GOVERNMENT who has more white spies and people who look like us to listen; read what we say and how we are trying to make CHANGE.
Now white folks are being watched; listed to as well BUT the majority will be people of color especially if we type anything that looks illegal to them. It seems that SOME white folks are scared THEY are becoming the minority SOME feel they’re loosing control that they’ve had for the past 500 years. So my advise just be carful who befriend on your social Media it just MIGHT be MIGHTY GOVERNMENT!
According to newly published documents, Western spy agencies like the GCHQ and NSA have developed sophisticated online operations in which covert agents infiltrate online communities, networks and forums in order to “manipulate, deceive”—even destroy the reputations of—targeted individuals and groups even if those people have not be charged, or necessarily accused, of a crime.
“Who would possibly trust a government to exercise these powers at all, let alone do so in secret, with virtually no oversight, and outside of any cognizable legal framework?”
—Glenn Greenwald
Building on his previous reporting about so-called “dirty tricks” used by GCHQ to ensare, trap, and discredit online hacktivists and other digital networks, journalist Glenn Greenwald late Monday published a new series of internal agency slides—leaked by whistleblower Edward Snowden—which show how a special unit, called JTRIG (Joint Threat Research Intelligence Group), has attempted “to control, infiltrate, manipulate, and warp online discourse” for its own ends. In so doing, writes Greenwald, these operations are disrupting “the integrity of the internet itself.”
Using sophisticated psychological templates, the slides show how the intelligence service believes it can use subversion to disrupt online networks by using various tactics, of which Greenwald descibes two as key: “(1) to inject all sorts of false material onto the internet in order to destroy the reputation of its targets; and (2) to use social sciences and other techniques to manipulate online discourse and activism to generate outcomes it considers desirable.”
In just one example, a slide titled “Disruption” offers a playbook for some of the tactics used to discredit a target. Those possible tactics include: infiltration, false flag, false rescue, and sting operations.
Though previous reporting has shown much….
