Real Birmingham Mall Shooter Finally Arrested In Georgia

After a week of shady and shoddy police work by the men and women in blue down in Birmingham, Alabama, U.S. Marshals finally arrested the shooter who injured 2 children at Riverchase Mall. According to CNN, Erron Martez Dequan Brown was apprehended at a relative’s house not far from Atlanta.

The problem is, before catching Erron Martez Dequan Brown, Hoover Police killed Emantic Bradford Jr. in a highly suspicious and likely racist case of “mistaken identity”. Bradford’s funeral will be we held on Saturday at 10:00 a.m. at the Boutwell Auditorium in Birmingham. City officials and protesters are currently putting pressure on the Alabama state’s police to release “limited information” about the shooting that might provide some clarity about how and why Emantic was killed. In their response, the ALEA makes it clear they don’t wanna say a damn thing about it:

“It is highly likely that prematurely releasing information, including video evidence, would have hampered the investigation’s progress thus far, even to the point of deterring key witnesses,” ALEA said in a statement.

“As other witnesses continue to come forward, it is imperative for the integrity of the investigation that SBI (the State Bureau of Investigation) continue to keep confidential information Agents obtain.”

As for Erron Martez Dequan Brown, he’s facing attempted murder charges for shooting 18-year-old Brian Xavier and an unidentified 12-year-old girl.

We hope and pray that Ematic Bradford’s family gets justice and whatever inadequate form of restitution that they can. Sadly, not even justice and legal award can make this right.

#CapCityXmas18

An annual benefit party is happening in Washington D.C. for a foundation dedicated in remembrance to three fallen friends. Now in its eighth year, the Capital City Christmas Classic is more than a holiday get-together, it’s a party with a purpose that’s benefitting the SVGS Foundation this year.

The foundation has a mission to empower, educate and encourage deserving and committed African American male scholars to attend Historically Black College and Universities. It was founded in remembrance of three HBCU classmates who passed away in fall 2009, spring 2011, and spring 2018 respectively. SVGS stands for Seeking Visions, Gaining Success. It’s an acronym and phrase that the friend group often bonded over through college and in the immediate years after.

“Cap City Xmas is the epitome of making “FUNdraising”,” says Mark Williams, Capital City Christmas Classic creator, and SVGS President. “Over the years, we’ve built it from being a meaningless house party, to being the cities most anticipated Holiday party of the year. As we grew in our careers, we felt compelled to make the event more about giving back to our community, and less about just turning up for the holidays. In the past the event benefited the likes of Toys 4 Tots and the HBCU foundation.”

This year’s celebration takes place at the 999 E street Hard Rock Cafe and will include an open bar option, music from DJ Juanski and DJ Nitecrawler and a holiday sweater contest.

Ariana Grande Reminisces About Pete Davidson’s D In New Music Video

Ariana Grande has never been shy about her ex-fiancé Pete Davidson’s Big D*** Energy. She even responded to a fan once sharing TMI about the exact length of his member.

Only a few weeks after their break-up, Ariana’s latest single “thank u, next” not only mentions Pete, but her other ex-boyfriends Big Sean, Mac Miller, and Ricky Alvarez. On Friday, Grande finally released the highly-anticipated video for the smash hit, and of course, gave us some more tea on the relationships she mentions throughout the track.

If you haven’t already seen all the hype leading up to this visual, the “thank u, next” video features Ariana playing some classic early 2000’s leading ladies including characters from Mean Girls, Legally Blonde, Bring It On, and 13 Going On 30.

In one portion of the video, Grande opens her version of the Mean Girls Burn Book, but of course, hers instead reads, “Thank U, Next.” She flips open to individual pages as she glues down pictures of her exes and writes some notes on their relationship.

On Ricky’s page, Ariana wrote “great dancer,” “good times man,” and “friends forever.”

Big Sean’s page mentions that the rapper is “so cute” and “so sweet.”

There’s no page in the book for Mac Miller, but Ariana already mentioned on Twitter that she had a picture of the late rapper next to her bed, instead.

As for Pete, as she glues down a photo of the two of them together, we see the words “I love you always” written along with her jotting down, “sry I dipped.” On the bottom of the page, Ariana wrote “HUUUUUUUGE” which could be a cue to some sort of inside joke between the two, but more than likely, she’s talking about his penis. Or in the very least, she’d know we would all think we’re talking about his penis since his BDE has been the topic of conversation before.

This wasn’t the only time Grande mentioned the size of Pete’s Davidson in the video, either.

In one segment that mirrors a famous scene from Legally Blonde, the singer speaks highly of an unnamed counterpart saying, “I mean, he was really cute, ya know? He was really cute. And it was…..it was….really big.” Jennifer Coolidge jokes back about dating a man with a big tooth but…we all know where Ariana was going with this one.

68-year old grandfather, William Hannah, has died after Salford Royal Hospital in the U.K. mistakingly filled his lungs with cleaning detergent instead of saline.

The Hannah family’s lawyer told PEOPLE,

During the procedure the doctor found there was no saline solution in the equipment trolley and so asked a healthcare assistant to pass this to him. However, the assistant became confused and instead of providing the doctor with the requested saline, accidentally handed him an unlabelled bottle containing detergent that they had prepared for cleaning equipment. The doctor then unknowingly used the cleaning solution to wash-out William’s lung.

Following an internal investigation into the wrongful death, the Salford Royal NHS Foundation Trust concluded that the hospital did not deliver the “high standard of care” and offered its apologies to the family.

Hearings for the case begin in February 2019. SMH, so sad.

Kareem Hunt Seen On Video Attacking Teenaged Girl In Cleveland Hotel

Kareem Hunt is done. The Kansas City Chiefs star baller is seen on the following TMZ video shoving, attacking, and kicking a 19-year-old Cleveland girl to the floor at a hotel back in February.

There is no audio, but the incident took place a Kareem’s hotel at 3:22am February 10 2018 after the teenager was asked to leave the room, but the account of why is in question. The unidentified girl says that she refused to “hook up” with one of Kareem’s friends and was asked to leave.

Kareem’s friends say that when she was asked to leave she flipped out and started calling Kareem all kind of n-words.

When all was said and done no arrests were made because police couldn’t determine whether or not a crime had been committed. The NFL hasn’t suspended Kareem and it at this time is doesn’t appear that they are investigating the matter further and they have not made any comment about this story.

Now, flip the page and watch the video of what happened between Kareem and his woman and let us know what you see…

Amber Guyger Indicted For Murder In Botham Jean Shooting

The former Dallas officer who gunned down Botham Jean in his own apartment has been indicted. CBS 11 reports that a grand jury has indicted Amber Guyger for murder in the September 6 shooting death.

As previously reported Dallas Police Chief U. Renee Hall had already terminated her for “engaging in adverse conduct” when she was charged with manslaughter.
This comes after local D.A. John Creuzot said he wanted Guyger to be charged with murder instead of manslaughter.

Local media outlets have requested copies of the 911 call Guyger made after the shooting. So far the Dallas PD has declined to provide the call and sent the open records requests to the attorney general for final determination.

This is a big win—for now. Let’s see how things go when the trial starts.
