I’ve been called Nigger many times and laughed. IT’S NOT THAT SERIOUS TO LOOSE YOUR FREEDOM OVER A RACIST ASS. For that racist who lost their life had no idea he would be dead because of that hatful word. For every action there is reaction. And for every reaction there’s action! We have free speech yes but there are consequences for your free speech The consequences could be good bad or indifferent or in this case you may lose your life or your freedom .
A Virginia man who says he punched a woman because she called him the n-word has been convicted of second-degree murder. On Monday an Arlington, Va., jury recommended that Robert Coleman, 27, serve 10 years behind bars for the death of Fedelia Montiel-Benitez, who died in July.
But the circumstances of Montiel-Benitez’s death were hotly contested by the prosecution and Coleman’s lawyers, who expressed disappointment that their client wasn’t given a manslaughter charge.
The fateful encounter between Montiel-Benitez and Coleman began at a 7-Eleven. As the Washington Post reports, Coleman had gone into the convenience store to buy cigarettes; Montiel-Benitez, to buy alcohol. The two strangers then got into an argument (it’s still unknown about what), which Coleman’s girlfriend, Nikki Howard, had to break up. Surveillance video shows Montiel-Benitez leaving the 7-Eleven before she turns around to face Coleman again…..

New York mom used kitchen knife to decapitate 7-year-old son
SWEDEN, N.Y. — A woman used a “large-bladed kitchen knife” to sever the head of her 7-year-old son 10 days after she was released from a hospital mental health unit, authorities said Friday.
Monroe County Sheriff’s deputies arrested 36-year-old Hanane Mouhib after Abraham Cardenas was found dead Thursday night in the family’s home in the town of Sweden, about 15 miles (24 kilometers) west of Rochester in rural New York. She was charged with second-degree murder.
“There’s absolutely no explanation for us,” Sheriff Todd Baxter said at a news conference Friday. “The word ‘evil’ comes to mind.”
According to public records, Mouhib is a licensed nurse practitioner who had worked at a Rochester psychiatric center.
Baxter said the sheriff’s office received three 911 calls from the home in quick succession around 8:20 p.m. Thursday, one of them reporting a suicidal woman with a knife. When deputies arrived, they had to use pepper spray and a stun gun to subdue Mouhib, who refused to drop the knife, Baxter said.
Court papers say Mouhib used the knife to stab the boy in the upper back then cut his neck, severing his head.
Mouhib’s husband, mother-in-law and a 10-year-old boy were in the house with her, Baxter said. He said they hadn’t seen any warning signs and were taken by surprise at the slaying.
Mouhib had recently called the sheriff’s office seeking assistance with mental health problems, Baxter said. Deputies arranged for her to be taken to a hospital psychiatric unit March 5 and again March 8, when she was admitted to Rochester General Hospital until March 26, he said.
Mouhib is being held in the county jail without bail. She had not been assigned a public defender at midday Friday. Monroe County District Attorney Sandra Doorley said a preliminary hearing is scheduled for April 11 but she plans to present the case to a grand jury before that.
Abraham Cardenas was a first-grader at Barclay Elementary School in the Brockport district.
“This is a very shocking situation for us,” District Superintendent Lesli Myers said. She called Abraham “an engaged learner” who “lit up a room any time he entered it.” She said grief counselors would be at the school when students return from spring break Monday.

The Parents Television Council wants the streamer to hold off on airing the hit show until “experts in the scientific community have determined it to be safe for consumption” by minors. The Parents Television Council wants Netflix to hit pause on the second season of its hit teen drama 13 Reasons Why.
Ahead of its expected second-season premiere this year, the conservative and publicly funded group on Wednesday urged the streaming giant to hold off on releasing the Brian Yorkey suicide drama until “experts in the scientific community have determined it to be safe for consumption by an audience that is comprised heavily of minor children.”
After becoming an instant phenomenon, 13 Reasons Why found itself thrust into a global conversation about how some of its tough subjects in the high school drama were handled, specifically the graphic depiction of teenager Hannah Baker’s (Katherine Langford) suicide. The series revolves around Hannah’s unexplained suicide — which was shown up close — and the 13 audiotapes she left behind for her classmates to decipher and ultimately understand why she took her own life…..

Mouse Parts Found in Soup That Apparently Caused Oregon Woman to Become Violently Ill
An Oregon woman who alleges she found mouse parts in her soup after consuming a bowl left her ill has sued Pacific Foods for negligence.
Court documents obtained by The Oregonian show 72-year-old Maesel Dorn bought a carton of Pacific Foods organic soup in January from the Wood Village Fred Meyer.
When Dorn consumed the soup, she said she became violently ill, according to television station KPTV in Portland.
A few days later, she tried the soup again — only this time she said something that looked like a mouse intestine fell from the carton.
According to court documents, Dorn contacted Pacific Foods about the issue.
The company told her to take the object to the same Fred Meyer store and a company employee would come pick it up and test it, but that never happened.
Dorn is suing Pacific Foods for more than $400,000, claiming negligence.
KPTV reached out to Pacific Foods for comment on the lawsuit.
A spokesman said they do not comment on pending litigation, but they say they take all customer complaints seriously, saying in part, “We can say that our utmost priority is ensuring the safety and integrity of our products.”
Arizona Man Accused of Kidnapping, Sexually Assaulting Utah Girl Said He Wanted Her as His ‘Pet’
An Arizona man accused of kidnapping a Utah girl and holding her captive in his home allegedly told her he wanted to keep her as his “pet,” according to court documents.
Authorities charged 38-year-old Raymond Burk with human trafficking of a child and aggravated kidnapping Monday, according to KTLA sister station KSTU in Salt Lake City.
Burk picked up the 17-year-old victim from her home in St. George, Utah, and took her to his house in Phoenix, Arizona, where held her against her will for a week, according to a probable cause statement.
Investigators believe Burk met the victim after she posted online in 2016, saying she was, “depressed and wanted someone to pick her up.”
“The man (Burk) told the child victim that he would take away her depression and she would be happy with him,” the probable cause statement said. “The man said he would take child victim to his house in Leeds, Utah, and have her home in two days.”
The victim told Burk she was only 17 years old and he told her that was “even better.”
On June 2, 2016, Burk allegedly arrived at the child victim’s father’s house and picked her up before taking her to a bank where she withdrew money.
Then, he and the victim drove for about 45 minutes when she realized something was wrong.
“Leeds, Utah, is only about 30 minutes from St. George, Utah,” the probable cause statement said. “Child victim asked Burk if they were still going to Leeds. Burk replied, ‘I lied. I live in Phoenix.’”
Police said the child victim asked Burk if she would still be home in two days and Burk told her he intended to keep her as his “pet” indefinitely.
When the two got to Phoenix, the victim said Burk held her against her will for a week and sexually assaulted her multiple times.
Burk allegedly tied the victim to his bed with a rope and physically assaulted her when she asked to leave.
The probable cause statement said that the victim was eventually able to access Burk’s friend’s phone and sent messages from social media applications.
Burk attempted to transport the victim when he learned police were arriving, but she was able to make contact with officers and tell them what happened.
The Utah Attorney General’s Office is coordinating prosecution with Arizona authorities. Burk’s next court appearance is set for April 25 in Phoenix.

Off-duty cop pistol-whips man, steals his pants and shoes in Brooklyn
BUSHWICK, Brooklyn — An off-duty police officer allegedly pistol-whipped a man outside a Bushwick nightclub and robbed him, prosecutors said Wednesday.
Anthony Delacruz, 34, and an unidentified accomplice were caught on video in a confrontation with another man on May 28 around 3:30 a.m., officials said. Delacruz pointed his service weapon at a man who was hiding behind a car.
All three men go off camera and, when they return, the unidentified accomplice is carrying clothing and sneakers, prosecutors said. Delacruz and his accomplice walked away.
The victim, who can be seen on camera dressed only in a t-shirt and boxers, walked away with no shoes on, officials said. Delacruz allegedly pistol-whipped him when they were off camera. The victim’s DNA was found on the muzzle of Delacruz’ gun.
A shell casing at the scene also massed Delacruz’ gun.
“This defendant’s alleged brazen and criminal behavior was in direct contradiction to the oath he took to protect and serve,” Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez said. “He then allegedly made a deplorable situation worse by falsely accusing multiple individuals of robbing him.”
Delacruz had initially told other officers that his alleged victim had actually robbed him along with some other men, officials said. Officers responding to a call for shots fired found him near El Mekkah Bar and Grill.
He allegedly told them he was in his vehicle when he was surrounded by several men who stole his gold chain, Rolex watch and a gold ring before fleeing, prosecutors said. Delacruz said he chased after the perpetrators and fired at them once.
A group of people were taken into custody after Delacruz told police his version of what happened, but video evidence quickly showed his version of events was not accurate.
He was arraigned on 14 charges Wednesday. Delacruz was charged with robbery, assault, menacing, falsely reporting an incident and petit larceny, among other charges. He faces up to 25 years in prison for the robbery charges.

Anthony’s attorney, Alex Arreaza, said Wednesday that the teen was released over the weekend and that, although he is thinner and weak, Anthony is in “good spirits.”
Arreaza told The Washington Post that one bullet had “clipped” the teen’s liver and three others had hit his legs. He said that because of the teen’s injuries, doctors had to remove part of one of his lungs.
Arreaza said that Anthony cannot speak for long periods of time without becoming winded and that the teen will need physical therapy and possible treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder. But, he said, the teen is “happy he’s home.”
“He’s a little shellshocked right now,” Arreaza said. “But his spirits changed completely once he got home. The most noticeable thing is that he was smiling a lot more.”
Arreaza said it’s unclear at this time whether the teen will return to Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. He said last month that the teen’s family intends to sue Broward County, Broward County Public Schools and the Broward County Sheriff’s Office for failing to protect the students.
Hundreds of Anthony’s fellow students returned to school earlier this week from spring break and were confronted with a new normal: added security, identification badges and clear plastic book bags.
In a memo to parents, school principal Ty Thompson likened the new security procedures to “when you enter a sporting event, concert, or even Disney World,” according to the Associated Press.
“As a first step, we are looking to see if we can get the kids through these entrances in a timely manner,” the principal wrote. “It is very difficult to balance both convenience/privacy with safety/security; if there is more of one, the other often suffers, but I will do my best to balance the two.”
Carly Novell, a senior and editor of the school newspaper, posted a photo of a clear backpack Monday on Twitter, joking, “But how satisfying would it be to put glue all over this backpack and peel it off.”
“On the real though, I want my privacy and my comfort. I don’t have that in school. I barely even have my education in school anymore,” she said in a subsequent tweet, pushing back against the new security protocol.
Kyrah Simon@kyrahsimonThese clear backpacks accomplish absolutely nothing. Not every item placed in the bag is visible and there is no possible way to monitor the contents of over 3000 backpacks. It’s great to know that this is where my community puts its resources.
Sheri Kuperman, a parent who has three children at the school, told the Sun-Sentinel that she has no problem with the security but that she is not convinced it will make her children and others any safer.
“We go through metal detectors when we go the airport,” she said, according to the newspaper. “I don’t know if it’s going to stop anything or not.”
After the recent shooting, Anthony was asked on the “Today” show whether he knew he was a hero — and the teen shook his head.
“He’s a hero in my book,” his attorney said, adding that Anthony is “the real deal.”
