What Is Irene Roberts Challenge? Kenneka Jenkins’ Death Spawns Ugly Trend
There isn’t a clear answer on what happened to Kenneka Jenkins —the 19-year-old who was found dead in a walk-in freezer at a Chicago-area hotel Sept. 10 — but an ugly trend has already emerged. Some are participating in the controversial “Irene Challenge.”
Jenkins’ death arguably went viral because of the video her friend, Irene Roberts, took the night she died. It showed her singing to music in Crown Plaza Hotel room and turning up the music when Jenkins allegedly said, “Help me.” She had red hair and mirrored sunglasses, which led some people to impersonate her looks and accent. As a result, they dubbed it the “Irene Challenge.”
While some people tweeted the impersonation was funny, others said it was in bad taste. Some of their reactions have been posted below. READ MORE:https://www.yahoo.com/news/irene-roberts-challenge-kenneka-jenkins-200136233.html

Bengals players reportedly want team to consider bringing in Colin Kaepernick
After a disastrous start to the season for the Bengals, it seems that some players in the locker would like to see the team possibly consider replacing Andy Dalton.
According to PFT, some of the team’s players think that “the Bengals should go off the board and consider bringing in Colin Kaepernick,” which basically tells you all you need to know about the mood in the Bengals locker room right now.
Ever since Cincinnati’s loss to Houston on Thursday, tensions in the Bengals’ locker room seem to be rising by the hour. First, there was reportedly a “near mutiny” by players that basically forced coach Marvin Lewis to fire offensive coordinator Ken Zampese, which was a rare move for the conservative Bengals. The firing of Zampese marked the first time in the team’s 50-year history that an offensive coordinator was fired during the season.

TESLA EX-EMPLOYEE SUES OVER N-WORD, RACIAL DISCRIMINATION
Tesla says they’ve investigated DeWitt Lambert’s complaint, and the other employees involved told a much different version of events leading up to the recording showing them using the n-word. In fact, Tesla says they now have personal instant messages where Lambert not only uses the n-word … but says he was seeking revenge on his co-workers.
Bottom line: Tesla says they’ve suspended Lambert, with pay, while they reopen the investigation.
An African-American man who worked for Tesla claims he was harassed by other employees and called the n-word.
DeWitt Lambert filed a federal lawsuit, claiming he started working for the car company in 2015 and served as a production associate. He says the harassment began almost immediately. It started with hazing type stuff — putting stickers on his back, putting nuts and screws in his pocket and hiding his tools.
Lambert says things escalated a few months into the job and he got a menacing recording on his phone …”N****r, we take your ass home, n****r. Shred you up in pieces, n****r. Cut you up n****r, send your ass [to] everyone in yo family so everybody can have a piece of you, n****r. Straight up, n****r. We get down like that, n****r.”
The lawsuit also claims employees humiliated him, sticking a drill gun in his butt while he was bent over. They also routinely made comments about the size of his penis.
Lambert says after he complained, some of the alleged harassers were actually rewarded with a promotion.
He’s claiming discrimination, a hostile work environment and wants an unspecified amount in damages.

Intensifying Hurricane Maria is a severe threat to the Caribbean and Puerto Rico; Jose to scrape Northeast coast
The wicked 2017 hurricane season is set to deliver its next two punishing blows from Hurricanes Maria and Jose. In both the Caribbean and along the Atlantic coast of the Northeast United States, conditions are set to deteriorate rapidly through Wednesday as these storms arrive.
Of the two storms, however, Maria is the much more serious hurricane. The strengthening Category 3 storm with maximum sustained winds of 120 mph has the potential to cause widespread destruction along its path from the central Lesser Antilles through Puerto Rico.
“Maria is likely to affect Puerto Rico as an extremely dangerous major hurricane, and a hurricane watch is in effect for that island,” the National Hurricane Center said Monday.
While Jose is capable of producing coastal flooding and pockets of damaging wind from Delaware to Massachusetts, its effects are most likely to resemble those of a strong Nor’easter – rather than a devastating hurricane.
Three killed, 16 injured after tour bus slams into MTA bus in Queens
A tour bus “flying” down a busy Queens street crashed into an MTA bus Monday, killing three people and injuring 16 others, witnesses and authorities said.
The Dahlia Travel and Tours bus slammed into the Q20 bus around 6:15 a.m. at Northern Blvd. and Main St., sending both vehicles careening onto the sidewalk and killing a 68-year-old pedestrian, officials said.
The driver of the Dahlia bus, Raymond Mong, 49, was among the dead. A 55-year-old man aboard the MTA bus also died.
“There was people pinned under the front of the city bus. A lady was crying and screaming, ‘Get me out! Get me out!’” he said.

Jerhonda Pace on Allegedly Being Trained To Please RKelly
Jerhonda Pace, alleged RKelly abuse victim, consoled by Jeannie
In these episode trailers of The Real Jerhonda Pace describes allegedly being trained to please RKelly. It seems as though The Real cast is not properly trained to interview abuse survivors.
In the first clip linked below at the :08 mark Jerhonda begins on how she was trained to sexually please a man, Jeannie seems to eagerly demand “Break that down” as she leans forward in her seat. At the :16 mark Loni suggestively asks: “how do they do it?” (referring to the sexual training), forgetting that this is a serious matter and not another opportunity for a sex joke.
In the third trailer linked below Jerhonda describes the moment she decided to escape. She lied to RKelly and managers and said that family was waiting on her, she left, and never looked back.
Comment below: should legal action be taken against RKelly?

Woman accused of fatally shooting sleeping boyfriend, cutting up body with a machete
A Texas woman fatally shot and then dismembered her boyfriend with a machete before leaving his remains in dumpsters of her apartment complex, court documents allege.
Cierra Alexis Sutton has been charged with murder in connection with the death of Steven Coleman, who was last seen on the evening of Aug. 16 in Baytown.
According to investigators, Sutton admitted to others that she had shot Coleman in the head as he slept after an argument. Because his body was too heavy for her to carry, Sutton allegedly hacked it into smaller pieces with a machete and then disposed of the smaller pieces in various local dumpsters.
On Sunday, Coleman’s close friend Dominique Clark spoke to Eyewitness News about Sutton’s arrest.
“Devil. That’s the mind of a bad spirit,” Clark said. “That’s not a normal mind. That’s not a mind of God. That’s not one of God’s children.”
On Aug. 22, a male torso was found in a Chambers County landfill that receives trash from dumpsters throughout Baytown and Pasadena. While the torso has yet to be definitively identified as Coleman’s, investigators say some key physical characteristics do match.
Before the torso was found, Clark said Sutton stayed with Coleman’s family as they looked for their missing loved one.
“She played the role of an innocent person,” Clark said. “She played the role of an innocent person, and she played it to the fullest.”
Coleman’s credit cards were used at a Harris County Walmart after he went missing, according to investigators, and the woman caught on surveillance camera buying duct tape and a mattress pad with Coleman’s card closely matched Sutton’s description.
Witnesses reported seeing Sutton and other men moving furniture out of Coleman’s apartment on Aug. 20; by the time investigators searched the apartment on Aug. 24, most of the furniture had been removed from the unit, but crime scene investigators did find blood in several rooms, including the bedroom, bathroom and kitchen. Investigators said they also found blood in Sutton’s Jeep.
In an interview with detectives, one of Coleman’s friends told detectives that Coleman “told her on numerous occasions if he was ever to go missing, she needed to make sure police looked into [Sutton] as the cause,” according to court documents.
Investigators say they had attempted to interview Sutton about Coleman’s disappearance, but she failed to show up for interviews. A third party tipped authorities off after Sutton allegedly spoke openly about the crime to others.
As Coleman’s family and friends wait for justice, they can’t help but think back on the man they lost.
“He was an original,” Clark said. “He was a unique guy. One of those you walk in the room and you can’t help but notice.”
Now he’s hoping the person who took his friend away will spend years behind bars.
“I thank God every day for even giving me the opportunity to experience a person like that,” Clark said. “I will never meet a person like that ever again.”
According to Baytown police, Sutton was taken into custody on Thursday in Louisiana.

“I failed my drug test because of my weave” : de Blasio detail cop
An NYPD sergeant who once worked in First Lady Chirlane McCray’s personal security detail has coiffed-up quite an excuse after testing positive for marijuana — she’s claiming the department mistakenly tested a strand from her human-hair weave. The hair-brained claim is the latest bid by Sgt. Tracy Gittens to keep her job after a random drug test came up positive for pot and she was pulled from overseeing security at Gracie Mansion, sources tell The Post.
The 13-year department veteran — who has been on paid desk duty in Queens since this winter and is awaiting a departmental trial — insists that when she was tested, technicians unknowingly collected strands of human hair from her weave.
They snipped from the back of her head, where she couldn’t see, sources said she is claiming — and had they tested her actual hair, it would have been clean of drugs.
“She doesn’t smoke marijuana and she’s unaware how it may have gotten into her system,” one police source told The Post. “That’s why she’s thinking it may have been the weave.”
Other colleagues say it’s tuft to believe.
“Oh stop; it doesn’t even pass the laugh test,” scoffed one police source. “That’s one of the lamest excuses I’ve ever heard. What people will do to save their jobs is pathetic.”
Another cop said the sergeant should have said she was wearing a weave at the test site, if she was concerned.
“She should have said upfront that is not my real hair so they could take the hair from somewhere else. I’ve heard every excuse, but those tests are 100 percent accurate and I tend not to believe her story.”
Gittens did not respond to requests to interview; her lawyer, John D’Alessandro, also declined to comment.
She’s not the first cop to attempt a crazy-sounding dodge after testing positive for pot. In 2006, an anti-terror detective, Anthony Chiofalo, claimed his wife had laced his meatballs with marijuana without telling him in hopes that a positive drug test would force him into retirement.
The “spacey meatball” defense failed utterly. Chiofalo was fired; two years later, he lost a Manhattan Supreme Court lawsuit that claimed the firing was “arbitrary, capricious, unreasonable and unconstitutional.”

Firefighter Says “Saving One Dog Is ‘More Important’ Than A Million Black People”
Tyler Roysdon, a volunteer for Franklin Township, wrote that if he had to choose between saving a dog or a black man from a burning building, the dog would get priority, because “one dog is more important than a million n****rs.”
Roysdon has since removed the post from his Facebook page, but a screenshot appears below.
Tyler Roysdon’s sentiments
Once township officials discovered the post, Roysdon was suspended indefinitely, according to local station WHIO-TV.
The township will hold a disciplinary hearing for him on Sept. 27, the station reported.
Township officials released an official statement about Roysdon on Thursday, confirming that he was suspended until the township’s board of trustees can meet to determine his fate:
“Recently, a Franklin Township volunteer firefighter posted unacceptable remarks on social media. Upon gaining knowledge of this information, Fire Chief Steve Bishop immediately contacted the firefighter and directed the comments be removed. The firefighter was suspended without pay until the Board of Township Trustees could meet to determine a course of action. Chief Bishop does not have the authority to terminate employees. Termination of any township employee requires a vote by the Board of Trustees.”
HuffPost reached out to Roysdon, who did not immediately respond.
A woman who identified herself as Joei Frame Roysdon told WXIX-TV that she was Roysdon’s wife and said, “He admitted that he said things that were wrong and apologized.”
She added: “Everyone deserves a second chance and is also entitled to their own opinion.”
Meanwhile, Ryan Grubbs, who works as a volunteer firefighter with Roysdon, said his colleague’s words go against the department’s core values.
“We don’t pick and choose who needs us, we just go,” Grubbs told WKEF-TV. “We’re volunteers, we’re doing this because we love the community.”
Comment below: do you agree with what Roysdon’s wife said, is everyone entitled to their opinion without penalty?
