Texas Woman Said She Fatally Shot Her Husband Because He Was Abusing Their Cat
A Texas woman accused of murdering her husband told police she shot him Saturday because he was beating their cat, police say.
Dallas Police who answered the shooting call about 6:45 a.m. at a residence on Fall Manor Drive say they were met by 47-year-old Mary Harrison, who told them she shot her husband, the department announced with a statement on its Facebook page.
She told police that she and her husband, 49-year-old Dexter Harrison, were arguing “as he was beating the family cat,” and she shot him, police say.
Dexter Harrison was taken to Presbyterian Hospital Dallas. He was pronounced dead from his injury.
Mary Harrison was taken to police headquarters, where she waived her Miranda rights told detectives what allegedly happened in the home, police say.
“During the course of the interview, she admitted to her role in the offense and confessed to shooting the victim,” according to the police statement.
She is being held on a $100,000 bond at the Dallas County jail, into which she was booked at 3 p.m. Saturday, according to jail records.
She is facing a single charge of murder, according to the records.
An attorney who might speak on Mary Harrison’s behalf was not immediately identified, nor was it clear whether she has yet entered a plea.
Proposal would add ‘X’ category to NYC birth certificates
NEW YORK — People born in New York City who do not identify their gender as either male or female would have the option of choosing a third category for their birth certificates under a new proposal.
Mayor Bill de Blasio and City Council Speaker Corey Johnson said the new category of “X” would be available through the proposal, which is expected to be introduced by Johnson on Thursday with public hearings to be held later this month.
Currently, if parents of a newborn do not want to identify a sex, they can say the sex of the child is undetermined or unknown. The “X” category would be something adults could choose for their own birth certificate.
If it passes, New York City would join California, Oregon and Washington in having the third category on birth certificates, while Washington, D.C. allows it on driver’s licenses.
Both elected officials noted that June is Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Pride Month.
“Pride Month is a time to celebrate how far we’ve come in the fight for equality, and re-affirm our commitment to protecting all New Yorkers from discrimination,” de Blasio, a Democrat said.
“This proposal will allow transgender and gender non-conforming New Yorkers to live with the dignity and respect they deserve, and make our City fairer.”
Johnson said, “This is about making it easier for people to be who they truly are and letting them know that New York City understands them and has their backs.”
The change also is expected to be considered on June 5 at a meeting of the Board of Health, with a hearing in July and a vote in September if the board agrees. T
he legislation in the City Council will match the language of the proposal that the Board of Health is considering.
“Transgender New Yorkers, like everyone else, should have birth certificates that reflect their true gender identity,” said Dr. Mary Bassett, the city’s health commissioner.
“We know that being able to live your authentic gender and gender expression is critical to physical and mental health. Now more than ever, we must ensure that all people can live their best and healthiest lives.”
Johnson, a Democrat, also introduced legislation in 2014 that removed a requirement for a person looking to change his or her gender designation on a birth certificate to have undergone sex reassignment surgery.
But even after that, the process still required a medical or mental health professional to fill out an affidavit or affirmation saying the applicant’s gender identity was more accurately reflected by changing the gender designation.
The legislation being introduced this week also would remove that requirement, and allow people filing for the change to submit their own affidavit saying it was to affirm their gender identity.

Plastic bags jam stomach of dead pilot whale in Thailand
This is in Thailand but still this affects everyone. Here in Washington state grocery stores have stopped providing plastic bags to the customers for this very reason below . It takes plastic bags decades to disintegrate. We are destroying our planet and the animals who live with us and among us .
BANGKOK (Reuters) – Some 80 pieces of plastic rubbish weighing eight kg (17 lb) were found in the stomach of a whale that died in Thailand after a five-day effort to save it, a marine official said on Sunday.
The pilot whale was discovered on Monday in a canal in the southern province of Songkhla and received treatment from a team of veterinarians.
The whale spit out five plastic bags on Friday and later died, the Marine and Coastal Resources Department said on its website.
An autopsy found another 80 bags and other plastic items weighing eight kg in the whale’s stomach.
“This plastic rubbish made the whale sick and unable to hunt for food,” the department said.
Jatuporn Buruspat, head of the department, said the whale probably thought the floating plastic bags were food.
Pilot whales mainly feed on squid, but are known to eat octopus and small fish when squid are not available, according to the American Cetacean Society, a whale conservation group.
Jatuporn said his department planned to raise public awareness of the problem on World Oceans Day on June 8.
“We will use the whale case and invite all sectors to show their intentions on how to reduce the use of plastic in Thailand,” he told Reuters.
Thais use huge numbers of plastic bags but authorities have launched campaigns to try to encourage people to use fewer and to introduce reusable bags.
Globally, eight million tonnes of plastic – bottles, packaging and other waste – are dumped into the ocean every year, killing marine life and entering the human food chain, the United Nations Environment Programme said in December.

Bill Clinton On Monica Lewinsky Scandal: ‘I Did The Right Thing’
This #Metoo movement Is starting to become no one takes responsibility for their own consensual sexual encounters. This chick Monica only wants to make a quick buck. It annoys me that this movement has become a Hollywood thing for “victims” of sexual assault when in fact these people were not sexually assaulted at all it was consensual. #metoo movement now is women wanting to get out of an embarrassing situation with a dude that gave them bad sex. Then use the #MeToo movement for empathy, likes and harts. These celebrities really need to have a tall glass of shut the fuck up ! Oh yeah, #Metoo was started by a beautiful dark skinned woman by the name of Tarana Burke. Wikipedia has even gotten on my nerves. They only had one small paragraph talking about Tarana Burke. There are real victims of sexual harassment and rape in Hollywood and down the street and up the block and next-door.
As for Hollywood if people would stop putting these Big Hollywood singers, producers, executives, actors and actress on a pedestals. Then maybe these alleged or NOT sexual assaults would have been caught sooner . Instead of using bill Cosby as their scapegoat they should’ve opened their eyes and ears to others as well. And I do believe as I’ve said before Bill Cosby is guilty of not keeping his thing in his pants. But I digress were talking about President Bill Clinton and a chick named Monica Lewinsky
“Through the lens of #MeToo now, do you think differently or feel more responsibility?… Did you ever apologize to her [Lewinsky]?” @craigmelvin to Bill Clinton pic.twitter.com/rXcixhDHER

LI man with 6.6 million images of child porn, including rape, faces 20 years
AMITYVILLE, N.Y. — A Long Island man accused of having 6.6 million images of child pornography, including rape, is behind bars and now faces 10 to 20 years in prison, the Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office said Friday.
David Johnson, 58, of Amityville, is the “obviously sick individual” charged with 200 counts of possessing a sexual performance by a child, the DA said.
“These images included rape,” District Attorney Timothy Sini said. “This is very important to emphasize: The crime of possessing child pornography directly fuels the rape of children.”
The 6.6 million images of child pornography were discovered after the Amityville Village Police Department received an MP3 player on April 25, the DA said. Investigators analyzed the device, and found it contained child pornography.
Upon further investigation, additional child pornography was discovered on dozens of electronics, including laptops, hard drives, memory cards and USB storage devices, at Johnson’s residence, the DA said.
“This individual not only collected child pornography, but had the disturbing practice of organizing this child pornography by age, race, and by particular characteristics, like whether or not the child victims were wearing glasses,” Sini said. “Obviously when you have a case that involves 6.6 million or more images you’re not dealing with someone who accidentally downloaded or stumbled upon child pornography.”
Johnson is being held $75,000 cash bail or $150,00 bond. He is due back in court June 18, and faces 10 to 20 years in prison.

Buffalo Wild Wings Gives Homeless Man Free Wings for a Year After Employee Writes Horrid Message on Receipt
Buffalo Wild Wings is standing up and taking swift action after at least one of its employees was rude to a homeless man, leaving a hurtful, derogatory message on a receipt.
According to KPLC-TV, the unidentified man went to one of the chain’s locations in Lake Charles, La., and ordered some wings.
When the man got his order, however, he noticed that the receipt had some demeaning words scribbled on it.
“For Homeless Fuck! Let sit + get gross,” the top of the receipt read.
Another part of the receipt had “I love you” handwritten across it.
The report notes that the order slip was not intended to be seen by the man (like that makes things better), but it was. Outraged, the man showed other customers, one of whom, identified as 26-year-old Kailynn Weston, rallied behind him.
“I was just really upset about it, like, why would you do that, especially, and he said, ‘You all know that I’m homeless; I don’t have anywhere to live,’ and it just really upset me,” Weston said. “And I was like, ‘That’s not OK, one, for someone to treat a customer like that, let alone a customer in his condition.’
“My mom, she always taught me to treat people the way you want to be treated,” she added. “And it’s not so much; I wouldn’t want that to happen to me. I teach my children that you treat people how you want to be treated.”
Weston spoke up and spoke out for the man, demanding that those behind the cruel note be disciplined.
“I walked up to the manager and I said, ‘This isn’t right and I demand that she get fired or something happen because I won’t come here anymore, for sure, and I’ll let other people know not to come here anymore, because it’s not OK,’” she said.
Weston, however, will remain a customer yet, after management’s swift response to the incident.
Regional Manager Ray Rhodes announced that the employees involved in the incident would be terminated after Monday. Rhodes also said that the restaurant will be giving the customer who received the note free wings for a year, as well as getting him a hotel room and a gift card to Walmart to get himself some clothes.
To top it all off, Rhodes said that Buffalo Wild Wings will also be donating a “couple hundred wings” to a local homeless shelter.
“It’s embarrassing for this gentleman and it’s very inhumane on the part of the employees,” Rhodes said. “It’s not our culture and it’s not who we are.”

The witness called 911 and passed the phone to Hancock, who identified himself to the dispatcher, the report said……..

Driver Shouts ‘Go Back To Your Country B***h’ At Asian-American Family
These racists feel so empowered! Thanks Trump ! ( I mean that sarcastically ) and put the bitch failed to realize yeah Sandra took it down as she ordered but that video is forever in cyberspace
This is the second time in two weeks a racist incident against Asian Americans in the Bay Area has gone viral.
UPDATE: May 31 — The city of Half Moon Bay has since responded to the Monday incident where a female drive shouted racist insults at an Asian-American family.
Malcolm Smith, communications coordinator for the city, told HuffPost that “we were saddened to learn of this incident.”
“It is contrary to the proud diversity of our community, where we welcome and celebrate residents, workers, and visitors of all nationalities, religions, and cultures,” he told HuffPost in an email. “We have every reason to believe this was an isolated incident in our city, and in fact to my knowledge, the only such incident in memory. Our understanding is that the person making these remarks does not live here.”
Lee, who originally filmed the incident, has removed the video from her social media account and updated her post, noting that the driver in the video contacted her.
“She was angry. Very angry. I won’t go in details of what she said. But it does include foul language again.”
Lee said that she responded to the woman and exchanged a few messages, noting that the driver had “toned it down.” However, the woman didn’t apologize.
