Girl, 8, Rescued by Mother After Being Choked Unconscious by Man in Restroom of Chicago Restaurant
A man faces multiple charges after he allegedly choked an 8-year-old girl until she lost consciousness in the restroom of a Chicago restaurant last weekend.
The incident happened around 1:15 p.m. May 7 at Jason’s Deli along the 1200 block of South Canal Street in the South Loop neighborhood. According to police, the girl was inside the restaurant with her mother, but the two got separated and the girl went into the restroom.
33-year-old Reese Hartstirn entered the restroom and grabbed her, choking the girl until she passed out, police said.
According to a release from the Chicago Police Department, Hartstirn picked up the girl’s limp body and carried her into a stall, then closed the door.
Police say when the girl’s mother came into the stall to rescue her daughter, Hartstirn shoved the woman.
Other people in the deli who found out what happened held Hartstirn until police officers could respond.
Officers took him to the First District police station, where he became aggressive and started swinging his fists at an officer, according to authorities.
The girl was transported to Comer Children’s Hospital for treatment, but officials have not updated her condition.
The release said that Hartstirn was charged with a felony count of aggravated kidnapping and a felony count of aggravated battery to a child under 13. He was also cited with a misdemeanor count of aggravated assault to a peace officer and a misdemeanor count of battery.
Jason’s Deli released a statement to WGN saying:
We’re blessed to have a wonderful relationship with the Chicago Police Department. Many of them are our customers and because of their connection to our deli, this unfortunate situation was handled very quickly. We’re proud of how our team members responded and thankful that we have the kind of customers that are willing to lend a hand in a difficult situation. We continue to work hard every day to make every customer happy.
A Cook County judge Monday ordered Hartstirn held without bail.
He is scheduled to appear in court May 16.

Florida man shoots, kills brother over cheeseburger
ST. CLOUD, Fla. – An Osceola County man is facing first-degree murder charges after police say he shot and killed his brother during an argument over a cheeseburger.
St. Cloud Police received a call just after 10 p.m. about a shooting at a home in the 600 block of 6th Street, according to Central Florida News 13.
According to investigators, Benjamin Middendorf, 25, shot his brother, Nicholas Middendorf, 28, in the chest with a 9mm handgun during an argument.
Nicholas Middendorf died at the home.
“This is an impulsive incident that happened. Maybe anger, rage. But it was definitely over a verbal dispute that sadly, it was over a cheeseburger,” St. Cloud Police Department spokesperson Denise Roberts said. “It’s something that could have possibly been prevented, if he had held back those emotions.”
An arrest affidavit says their mother and the shooting victim, Nicholas, had been drinking with friends. Benjamin told detectives he does not drink.
Benjamin Middendorf was arrested on charges of premeditated first-degree murder. He was taken to the Osceola County Jail and is being held on no bond.

Captain America: Civil War Review (Slight Spoilers)
Seeing is how Captain America Civil War is out in theaters all over the country now, people have had plenty of time to see it. With that being let’s review Marvel’s newest movie!
Let me start off by saying that the word “like” for this movie is way too much of an understatement. I LOVED THIS MOVIE! This movie is the best one Marvel has to date. Everyone from Captain America, to Iron Man, to Black Panther were all awesome! Chris Evans and Robert Downey Jr. did a great job like always, but the two new people who stood out to me in this movie were Chadwick Boseman as Black Panther and Tom Holland is Spider-Man.
I appreciate the fact that they gave Black Panther plenty of shine throughout the movie and gave him amazing fight scenes namely with the Winter Soldier and the airport fight. This has only made me look forward to the Black Panther movie even more! Tom Hollad definitely killed it as Spider-Man as well. Spider-Man’s humor with Tony Stark was on point and he is the best portrayal of Spider-Man that I’ve seen.
The fight scenes are some of the action scenes I’ve seen in a comic book movie. The Russo Brothers definitely know how to film fights scenes without all the shaky camera nonsense. Every person the Spider-Man and Ant-Man fought were hilarious and Ant-Man becoming Giant-Man was a nice touch as well.
As for the villains Crossbones was okay, I dont have too much to say on him since he’s only in the beginning of the film. But as for Zemo while he doesn’t look like his comic counterpart he was a great villain in this movie. His manipulation of the Avengers great and you can pretty much say his plan of breaking apart the Avengers was achieved.
As far as the teams go the movie does a good job of not making everything so black and white. Each person had their own reasons on why they signed or didn’t sign the Sakovia Accords and in my opinion they all seemed valid. But for the most part I stuck with Team Iron Man partially because of Black Panther, but also for another reason, near the end of the movie there was some crucial information the Captain America kept from Iron Man that made me lose points with Captain America.
All in all I give this movie a full 10/10 the action was there, the drama, and the comedy. Would I pay money to see this again? ABSOLUTELY! It was just that good. I cant wait to see future films such as Spider-Man: Homecoming, Black Panther, Ant-Man and the Wasp, and more importantly Avengers: Infinity War.
If you haven’t seen this movie yet, get off your butt and go see it now!

So you get angry at your brother mix a batch of sweet treats by putting poison in the batter then bake them knowing that this could possibly kill; or poison people who buy the baked goods just to get back at your brother?

Boruto Manga: Character Deaths? Bait Chapter
For those who don’t know the official monthly spinoff of the Naruto manga entitled Boruto: Naruto the Next Generation came out today and yeah, it was extremely underwhelming.
The chapter starts off with a scene in the future and we see a teenaged Boruto with a Kakashi like scar on his right eye which apparently has the byakugan. He’s standing on the destroyed Hokage monument under a destroyed Hidden Leaf Village and on the statue with him stands a teenager named Kawaki.
One thing that Kawaki says that stands out is that Boruto will be joining the 7th Hokage (Naruto) soon, implying that Naruto is in fact dead. Soon after they clash and after that what do we get? Not new info, not a fight but a manga version of Boruto: Naruto The Movie. Yeah a major rip off.
The only new info that we get are on the first 3 pages of this new chapter. But to be honest after rereading it, it all seems like a bait chapter. Think about it, Naruto dead? Unless Kishimoto actually had the balls to kill off his first main character Naruto is not dead. This is just to get buzz and fans talking and to make it worse, we have to wait a month to find out what happens next.
This is a very disappointing start to the new series. Instead of giving us new content you decide to rehash old content that people have already seen. Kishimoto and the others in charge of this manga need to do better.
2 toddlers found tied, chained in backyard, Texas deputies say
The deputies knocked on the front door, got no answer, and went around back, using a ladder to look over the fence, James Keith, spokesman for the sheriff’s office, told CNN affiliate KABB.
They saw two toddlers in a state that Keith struggled to describe.
A 2-year-old boy was “chained to the ground as if he was a dog,” he said. “There was no slack in the chain. His pants were down. You could tell he’d been here for a while. And then a short distance away, a 3-year-old girl who was tied to a door with a dog leash who was just exhausted.”
The deputies moved quickly to release the two youngsters, but their work was not finished.
Inside the house, they discovered six children ranging in age from 10 months to 13 years, the release said. There were no adults on site to care for them.
“To describe this as disturbing is an understatement,” Keith said. “It makes you wonder what somebody’s thinking. How could they do this?”
Mother of six of the children charged
Early Friday morning, the parents of the six children who were inside returned to the house, the sheriff’s office said.
The mother, Porucha Phillips, 34 was believed to be responsible for caring for the two toddlers, authorities said. She was charged with injury to a child by omission with serious bodily injury and Injury to a child by omission with bodily injury and is being held in the Bexar County Jail.
Deputies haven’t said they’re searching for the parents of the toddlers found in the backyard.
Child Protective Services was called in. The toddlers were taken to the the Children’s Hospital of San Antonio and are recovering, though the girl is in intensive care, Keith said.
CPS said one of them has a fractured right arm and wrist and the other has superficial injuries including abrasions and scarring, CNN affiliate KSAT reported. Six children have been cleared for foster care.
Child Protective Services said it had no prior involvement with the family, KSAT said. Authorities are investigating a report that a day care might have been operating out of the home, KSAT reported.
‘When we heard of it, it was bad’
Neighbors and authorities said they were horrified by the conditions the children were found in.
“When we heard of it, it was bad,” Christina Rivera, who lives nearby, told KSAT. “It was shocking. Especially something happening across the street and we didn’t even know about it or see it.”
Keith said he was glad somebody thought to call the sheriff’s office. He encouraged anybody who ever suspects child abuse to do the same.
“We are grateful that this person was brave enough to call us and that our deputies were able to respond when they did,” he said to KSAT. “I don’t even want to think about how this could have happened, how this could have played out, had our deputies not gotten there when they did.”

Teen Suspect Dead After Shooting Outside High School Prom in Wisconsin; 2 Injured
A teenage accused of shooting two students outside a high school prom in Antigo, Wisconsin, has died, police said Sunday.
Police identified the suspect as 18-year-old Jakob Wagner. He used to attend Antigo High School, police Chief Eric Roller said.
The victims, who were shot as they left a building where they had been celebrating prom, suffered injuries that were not life-threatening, according to police.
A female victim was treated for a gunshot wound and released, while a male victim was undergoing surgery late Sunday morning.
About 11 p.m. Saturday, Wagner “arrived at the Antigo High School prom with a rifle and began shooting while outside the entrance of the building,” the police statement said.
Officers who were patrolling the parking lot heard the shots, and one of the officers opened fire on the gunman. Wagner was taken to a nearby hospital, where he died at 1:06 a.m. after doctors attempted lifesaving measures, the statement said.
Wagner is believed to be the lone shooter, police said, and investigators were executing a search warrant at his home Sunday.
“All the people within the prom were eventually escorted from the school and are safe,” Roller said.
Sonia Reed, whose son Matthew attended the prom, told WSAW that she was on campus earlier in the evening for the “grand march,” during which students and their dates form a procession and parents cheer them on before the prom king and queen are named.
She estimates that there were 100 to 120 students in attendance and describes the atmosphere as “festive.”
“I didn’t see anything suspicious. I didn’t feel any bad vibes. It seemed like it was going to be a normal prom,” she told the station.
She learned of the incident, she said, when she received a call from another mother who said police were at the school and had “somebody down” in front of the school offices. The person was wearing camouflage pants and a dark top, Reed said. Her son had already left the prom by that time, she said.
Reed, who moved to Antigo from Texas in 2004, said that although she wouldn’t be surprised to hear something like this had happened in a major city, she was stunned it unfolded in Antigo.
Everyone knows each other in the town of 8,000 about 85 miles northwest of Green Bay, she said. She described it as a farm town where many students happily participate in Drive Your Tractor to School Day.
“I have two other children that’s in the high school, and they don’t want to go back, period,” Reed said. “They’re just beyond freaking out here.”

Facebook Deletes The Shade Room’s 4 million member Fan page
Hmmmmmm??? I wonder what kinda SHADE the Shade Room Posted? I swear it’s getting so no one can express themselves without being attacked for having a difference of opinion; get Blocked by the Admin of the Facebook group or page for even challenging your opinion OMG to even write about police brutality, BLM will get you instantly Blocked. I am just trying figure out why a well known entertainment News sites Facebook page would get suspended. I just found out they got suspended for violating copyright laws.
The Shade Room’s 25-year-old founder, Angie Nwandu — who made Forbes’ 30 Under 30 in Media list this year — told me on Monday that she doesn’t know why Facebook took the page down. She doesn’t believe the action was spurred by one particular post: “I monitor the page frequently and nothing was posted that violated any rules to my knowledge,” she wrote in a DM.
“We have been targeted on FB and have been receiving numerous reports over things that don’t violate the terms. The amount of reports have been excessive.”
I’m sure these folks reporting have NO LEGAL leg to stand on but they just reporting for shits ‘n giggles.

Ghost in the Shell ‘considered CGI to make white actors look Asian’
The filmmakers allegedly ran tests to ‘shift ethnicity’.
Scarlett Johansson
Is it really so hard to cast a Asian actor to play the lead anime character Major Motoko Kusanagi in Ghost in the Shell? Hollywood would rather spends millions of dollars on CGI (Computer generated imagery) to make a white actress Scarlett Johansson ; cast look Asian then to audition well known or not well known Asian actors;actresses to play Asian people in this film adaptation? Do you Hollywood BIG WHITE BOYS; WOMEN understand that your BIGGEST movie goers who spend much money are the hard working Black folks; other minorities? THANK GOD they allegedly considered using CGI to make white actors look Asian. This is how Paramount responded claiming the CGI tests were for a “background actor” rather than for Johansson. YEAH RIGHT!
Do you remember that Movie Gods of Egypt? You cast all WHITE (all but one) actors and tried to pass them off as historically accurate not to mention the WACK CGI effects. Your movie FLOPPED at the box office. We as ethnic people are not really wanted in their movies but they know they have to have a token black, Asian, Latino, Latina, Puerto Rican. When we are cast we are the criminal, drug addict, the angry black (FAT) black woman, oh I forgot if they do cast a black woman as the lead (Stacy Dash) they have to be light bright and damn near right with the good hair that can be easily flat ironed to be straight as a stick. White Hollywood only sees us as dollar signs, they steal our culture then water it down to suit they taste.
White Hollywood has found away and maybe even a dangerous way to totally get rid of what they see as threat develop technology where we can change the ethnicity of the actresses; actors to WHITE people to fit THEIR vision? We people of color will always be that token unless we stand up and do something about it!
We need to make our OWN tv;movie production companies produce our OWN movies; tv series just like the white hollywood juggernauts. Sadly, BET was OWNED and operated by Black people from 1980-1997 until it was sold to a white owned an operated Corporation Viacom ever since then BET is watered down with nothing but fast money reality shows with black people who have NO control of content there are a lot of our people that are content as long as millions of dollars are thrown at them.
Okay to my 1 trillion dollar spenders in order to make change we must hit ‘em where it hurts it is so true money makes the world go round the world would stop and LISTEN and ACT if we as a people STOPPED spending money where are we are NOT shown as the main character, if we are shown ALWAYS stereotypes then boycott that shit! DON’T SPEND MONEY WHERE YOU ARE NOT UPLIFTED AND SUPPORTED!
REMEMBER NEVER CALL AN ANIME A CARTOON!
