Ohio Family Murdered By Neighbor!

An Ohio family was gunned down by a deranged terrorist. John and Christy Anderson and their son Landon were murdered in cold blood. Their daughter Makyleigh is fighting for her life.

Another mass shooting in the United States. It was done by a deranged terrorist who had an obsession with weapons. He was an anti-government conspiracy theorist who believed President Barack Obama was a Muslim sympathizer.

This was the typical "NICE GUY" who had an odd obsession with firearms. The victims had once invited the suspect to dinner and kept an eye on each other's property.

The man suspected of shooting a family had threaten mass shooting six years ago.

Berry Kirk shouldn't have any access to firearms. But unfortunately, Ohio has lapse gun laws and those with mental issues were given the right to have them.

Kirk got upset with an employee at the Ohio governor's office in 2009 over an entitlement claim.

He said that he "wanted to make a big boom and start shooting people". This was obtained by the Associated Press under a freedom of information act.

This terrorist was also charged with telephone harassment of a woman. He was given probation for the action.

This terrorist was charged for vandalism and domestic violence. Those charges were dropped. The terrorist had many traffic violations.

The Columbus Police and FBI are trying to piece together the motive to why this terrorist shot up a family of four. Three of the victims died and the young victim is fighting for her life.
The law put down this terrorist. He had access to firearms despite making terrorist threats.
The terrorist may have involved in a feud with the neighbors. Kirk finally decided to put an end to their lives.

John Anderson II and his wife Christy were high school sweethearts. They were raising a son and daughter. John wanted to start a business with his brother while working at a stucco company. Christy was a homemaker who was taking her GED classes and college courses for dreams of becoming an X-ray technician.

They had a son name Landon and daughter Makyleigh.

John, Christy and Landon were murdered by this cold blooded killer. Makyleigh is fighting for her life. If she survives the injuries, she will be awaken to the news that her mom, dad and brother are gone.

John turned his back on the terrorist after an altercation.The terrorist decided to make himself known as a threat.

Christy runs to the aid of her husband. The terrorist would shoot her at point blank range. As Makyleigh dials 9-1-1 and tried to shield Landon, she was shot. Landon was shot after Makyleigh was injured.

The family suffered numerous gun shots.

The Columbus Police quickly put down this terrorist after he was aiming at the witnesses. The police were patrolling the area when they hear automatic gun fire.

The terrorist would die of his injuries. Now the Anderson family is coming to conclusions that this guy should have arrest for making threats toward John and Christy.

World News Today send our condolences to John, Christy and Landon Anderson. We pray for a speedy recovery for Makyleigh.

Cop Walk In Dontae Martin Shooting!

Dontae Martin was killed by Ohio deputies. The deputies were cleared of his death.

Two Montgomery County Ohio sheriff deputies are back on the beat after the grand jury decided that the shooting of Dontae Martin was justified. This is despite them having no lights or dash camera on.

They have determined that Dontae did point his firearm on the Gust Teague and Josh Haas.

They were placed in the freezer for a moment. I guess the grand jury found it necessary to prove that Martin's history as a petty drug dealer proved that he may have provoked a deadly encounter.

So in three weeks, the two officers will be back on the beat for the Harrison Township, Ohio jurisdiction.

The shooting happened about a 1/2 mile from where I live. The incident occurred on a tree lined Springbrook Boulevard. The deputies were responding to a single-car accident on the street.

A woman called 911 saying that vehicle was on the side of the road.

The deputies approached the vehicle with a flashlight and claimed that Martin was provoked. He pointed a firearm at the them. Martin was ordered to drop the firearm and when he failed to comply, the shot him.

He was shot from the opposite sides of the vehicle. The wounds were deadly. He would die on route to the hospital.

Republican Sheriff Phil Plummer defended his officers for the usage of deadly force. When asked if they have a dash camera or body camera on them, no comment came from him.

Now the father of six will be tarnished by the #AllLivesMatter crowd as a "no good thug". Even though he was purchasing a permit for his firearm, according to the law and the agitators, he shouldn't have a firearm in the first place.

Haas was the deputy who shot at a man who was deranged back in December 2014. He was cleared of charges. His wife was involved in a police vehicle accident this year.

THE ENCOUNTER WITH HAAS AND TEAGUE
Montgomery County sheriff is trying to calm tensions.
The county sheriff's department faces some local controversies this year. There was an email scandal in which three officers were fired out the cannon for sending and trading racial emails while on the job. They were stationed at the Harrison Township branch where Haas and Teague serve.

A few of the deputies were caught off the job driving drunk. Even the sheriff's family member became a lightening rod for ethics violations while in office.

No one is perfect.

I know people who have criminal histories.

Does it make me a criminal that I know someone who is a criminal?

Does it merit profiling of me and those who ride in my vehicle?

I know a woman named Shelia Tomlin who is a struggling heroin addict. I've known her for at least four years. The boy has destroyed her life. When she failed to pay her electric bill and her rent, she was kicked out her apartment. I sometimes carry my heart on my sleeve. I decided to take her in for a week.

One night, I took her to Kroger in the area. She wanted to go to her old apartment to get her stuff. I thought of it as a bad idea. She said nothing won't happen. She had no drugs on her and wasn't wanted for skipping court. But I know that perception would cause the law to profile. So as I approach a traffic light near my apartment, a sheriff's deputy (Teague) was sitting about a block away. I said you know what I don't want to be pulled over, so I decided to go forward. The officer saw us and decided to follow. Yeah, that gives the officer a perception. So he followed us for a few blocks. I decided to make a point by pulling over in a parking lot near a business. The officer sure enough decide to follow and then proceed to activate his lights.

He would ask us why did we decide to not turn on the street. I told him that I knew that if you would likely profile me and her because of her history. We both told the deputy that there's no drugs or weapons inside the vehicle and we're not doing anything wrong.

I decided to turn on my camera phone and record the encounter. I decided to make it clear to the officer that I have no criminal history and I know the person personally. I told the officer that I am not committing any criminal acts.

We told the officer "are we free to go"!

That tactic is used when they often try to bait you into an unlawful search of your vehicle.

The officer said "not yet, I'll be back!" So we wait for 10 minutes and then two officers would appear. The officers came with a drug sniffing German Shepard. The officer once again asked if we had drugs on us. I told them no and didn't consent to a drug search.

The officer decided to give me the verbal warning that if the dog detects a trace of drugs, they'll search the vehicle. So once again, admit that you or her have drugs or you're going to jail.

I told the officer and his supervisor (Haas), there's no drugs in the vehicle. So the officers decide to allow the dog get a whiff around the vehicle. The dog circled the vehicle and didn't do really much.

The officer flagged his fellow officers to a "hit". So they decide to place us in separate police vehicles for detainment. The officer go through the vehicle and take out the seats and glove compartment.

After 10 minutes they let us out the vehicle and they told us that we're free to go. While they were searching the vehicle it caught the officers saying that their dog's "hits" aren't netting good results.

I was hoping that day wasn't going to come but I will turn this recording to their supervisor.

I want to make a point that profiling is wrong. Dayton Police and Montgomery County Sheriff have denied profiling motorists. But the proof is in Dontae Martin, John Felton, and Kaylen English.

John is still alive. He managed to get the city of Dayton and its police chief Richard Biehl to formally apologize to him for a "profiling" situation.

Kaylen and Dontae weren't so lucky. The junk food media often see them as violent and their fates were justified.

Shelia is often regarded by the law as a repeat offender when it comes to drug and prostitution charges. I fear that day will come when she's either killed by the boy or the john who may rob or rape her.

Send my condolences to the family of Kaylen English and Dontae Martin.

Send my prayers to John Felton and Shelia Tomlin.




BEFORE I MOVE ON, I WANT TO BRING UP LINDSAY BOGAN. THE OHIO WOMAN IS FEARED DEAD.


Lindsay Bogan went missing this year. She was last seen in Middletown, Ohio getting into a vehicle.

Send my prayers to Lindsay Bogan, the missing Middletown, Ohio woman who was reported missing after her pimp claimed she got into a vehicle and was never seen again.

She was a woman who had a promising future in nursing. But things went wrong when she was introduced to the boy. She was hooked. She was in the Middletown stroll trying to feed the need.

She leaves behind a young child. The junk food media and Lindsay's family fear she may be dead.

The pimp Eric Sexton is facing charges for promoting prostitution and he's under federal watch. He is facing charges in Butler and Montgomery County for numerous criminal acts.

Ohio Man With Disability Mocked By A Bunch Of D**ks!

Springfield tire company faces heat for posting on social media a video degrading a homeless Black man. 

What you put on the internet could end up being there forever. Given the situation that three men are facing, they regret posting on Facebook their taunting of a disabled Black homeless man.

In Springfield, Ohio, the workers over at Jim's Used Tires are facing some heat. They were recording this encounter with Allan Deonne Dubose, a local man who has special needs and is regarded as homeless in the community.

While on the job, a worker whips out his camera phone and two of his co-workers were taunting him by calling him "boy" and whistling at him like an animal. Then one of the workers grabbed an air compressor and shot a bit of air on Allan. 

They posted it on social media and shared it with a few of their friends. Well a friend of friend saw this and was applauded by this.

She took it to WHIO-TV, Dayton's most watched news agitator. 

When one of the residents who aids Allan saw that video, she went right into the faces of the workers and owner. She demanded that they apologize to Allan or face a boycott from residents.

Allan Deonne Dubose thinks that the people who filmed him should grow up.
Matreka Nache, who said she looks after Allan and lives in the neighborhood, said she approached the workers at the tire shop Thursday after seeing the video for the first time.

“Nobody deserves to be treated like that,” she said.

The shop’s owner, James Payton, calls what happened an ugly prank — the video was posted in May 2014 — and offered his apology to Allan and put his two workers on ice.

“We let him clean the trash out of the office, give him a little bit of change from time to time, coffee. They just got comfortable with him, in my opinion,” Payton said.

The owner said Allan has always been welcome at the shop and always will. He said he addressed the video months ago when he first saw it.

Thursday, he said the backlash has forced him to give the two employees the next two weeks off.

Allan said he thinks the men who pranked him should clean up their act, but he doesn’t want to see them punished.

Jared Fogle Gets 15 In Federal Time Out!

Jared Fogle goes to federal time out.

The fall of an entertainment icon. The disgraced Subway pitchman Jared Fogle was sentenced to federal time out today. He was given a lengthy bid. He will spend 15 years and 8 months in the federal time out.

Once out he will register as a tier III sex offender for the rest of his life. He will have lost contact with his children, his wife and his vast fortune. He lost his "black card" with Subway.

All the fame, all the celebrities, all the luxury of being in the limelight is gone!

Fogle and his partner both had this obsession with popping little cherries. He was fixated on having sex with underage children. 

He plead guilty to harboring child porn. He plead guilty to traveling across state lines to have sex with a minor. 

He admits to the world that he had sex with underage girls and boys. He admits having sex with other women including prostitutes. 

Fogle will now head to the FDX Marion. The federal time out is in Marion, Illinois. We'll find out where he will go. He's not a violent criminal. He is a sexual offender and they usually sent the interments to Marion for treatment. 

Fogle tearfully apologized to the court and the victims as the judge handed him the sentence.

The lawyers were hoping for a five year bid on the basis of leniency. The prosecutors were hoping for 12 years and some change. The judge was more brutal. The judge saw Fogle as a selfish man who presents a danger to children. Fogle used his fortune to deliberately manipulate children into sexual encounters. The federal informant tipped off the law when she overheard him say that "teenage girls are sexy". Fogle told the federal informant that he wanted to have sex with her and two underage teens for his sexual fantasies and would gladly pay them for the encounter.

Now again, if you're caught up in a federal case and handed a sentence, you will serve the sentence in full. There's no early release in federal time out. You will serve all the sentence before they release you to post disposition control. 

Fogle will be 54 years old by the time he gets out of the federal time out.

Black Insurgent Becomes Kentucky's Lieutenant Governor!

Jenean Hampton becomes Kentucky's lieutenant governor. She is the first African American to hold the position. She is a registered Republican.

Kentucky's soon to be governor Matt Bevin is no longer a perennial gadfly. It was a healthy victory for the insurgent Republican. Did you know that the controversial businessman had a running mate that also won. Her victory marks a first for the state.

Jenean Hampton becomes the lieutenant governor for the state. She is the first African American to hold this position. She was elected as a Republican.

The 58 year old mother and grandmother started from humble beginnings. She grew up in the Detroit area. Her family worked in the manufacturing boom of the automotive juggernaut Chrysler.

She joined the U.S. Air Force, where she spent seven years writing code and managing software like the radar used to find enemy planes in Operation Desert Storm, where she was deployed. She then spent 19 years in the corrugated packing industry.

She boldly says that she's not a fan of Barack Obama and vows to oppose his policies. That often cause a family feud between her and her late father.

It's apparently a mystery to her family, too. Hampton said her father, who recently died, "went to his grave mad at me."

"That I'm conservative, Republican, didn't support Obama — he just could not wrap his arms around that," she told Bailey.

Hampton says her guiding light is constitutionally limited government, and she told Bailey that when trying to climb out of inner-city Detroit, she felt government and friends and family around her were rooting for her to fail:

"A huge part of what formed my opinions was the peer pressure that I got to fail," she said. "These were kids who questioned my good grades, questioned the way I spoke, questioned my choice in music and the fact that I was reading all the time. I just remember wondering, 'Well, jeez, when do I get to just be Jenean with my own likes and dislikes?' "

As she got older, she said she despised Nixon's Republican Party but came around to the GOP when Ronald Reagan was president because he reflected her own optimism about the American Dream, according to Bailey.

Now as the lieutenant governor, Hampton will do her best to make Republicans seem less racist than they normally are.

The race in the Bluegrass state was supposed to be a victory for the Democrats.

The people of Kentucky love KNect, the state's health care exchange. Outgoing governor Steve Beshear was at best a decent governor. The Democrats didn't put much in the races for governor.

But I guess Donald Trump's impact and the state's opposition to gay marriage being a contributing factor to Bevin winning the governor's race.

The Law Search For Drive By Shooter Who Killed Maleki Parker!

The Dayton Police ask for assistance. 5-year old Maleki Parker was murdered in a drive-by shooting. 

The cycle of gun violence continues in the United States. Let me remind you that gun violence is the number one threat in the country. Gun violence beats terrorism and Ebola.

How many terrorist-involved incidents happened in the United States this year?

When you mention how many mass shootings in the United States how many this year?

Even in my community, gun violence continues to happened. The city of Dayton has probably 46 homicides this year. For a city of 138,000 residents that's an epidemic.

This area is part of the region notorious for heroin addiction. I bet you money that there's dope spots within a mile of a police station. And the dope spots are considered breeding grounds for gun violence.

Enter the home of Maleki Parker. The junk food media says that his home was considered a dope spot. There was a drive-by shooting at the home and rounds flew throw a window and hit the 5-year old boy in the head.
20 rounds entered the home of Maleki Parker.
The family rushed him to the hospital. The boy was gravely wounded by the ricochet fire.

He was taken off life support on Monday, and died that night. The family will now have to deal the tragic lost of a toddler. The toddler wasn't a criminal! Maleki was an innocent baby.

The Dayton Police are calling upon witnesses who may have seen or heard something in the area.

Of course, the area is notorious for criminal activity.

Bruce Street is a road that harbors dope spots, prostitution and a bunch of residents too afraid to report it.

A year ago, Kolanda Richey was mauled by two mixed breed pitbulls. The neighbors Andrew Nason and Julie Custer were held in the county lockup on negligent homicide and animal abuse.

World News Today sends our condolences to the family of Maleki Parker and Kolanda Richey.

OH Darn: The State Smoked The Weed!

Back to the drawing board for pot advocates. The ballot measure was rejected. 

The state of Ohio boldly rejected the Issue 3 ballot issue. The issue was legalize marijuana usage for both recreational and medical usage. The catch is that marijuana will be grown at only 10 specific counties under the whim of private investors.

Many said the language was confusing.

Some are citing the rise in heroin usage as a reason to decline the ballot measure. Ohio, Indiana and Illinois lead in heroin deaths in the Midwest.

The supporters of Legalize Ohio and their creepy mascot Budd-E go down in a major defeat.

The ballot measure would have granted Ohio full legalization of marijuana. However it will only be unfettered government control of grow operations by a handpick group of business executives.

Nick Lachey, the former pop star and reality television host and a handful of celebrities and politicos throw their weight into Issue 3.
The Legalize Ohio 
Issue 3 would have legalized marijuana for recreational smoking and in edible form for Ohioans 21 or older, and in medicinal form for those of any age with qualifying medical conditions. Commercial growth was to be controlled for at least the first four years by investment groups at 10 specified locations around the state.

The word "monopoly" was the word inserted in the ballot measure. Issue 2 would prevent a sole private entity from owning all access to marijuana grow centers. Issue 3 would legalize it statewide, but keep it strictly grown in these select areas.

Springfield, Ohio Lost Its Target!

Target announces another round of closings. Springfield, Ohio loses its only store.

Springfield, Ohio was dealt a blow. The Minneapolis based retailer announced another round of closings. The closings are affecting areas where they claim sales are in decline.

In the latest rounds of closings, the First Avenue location is on the list. The only Target store in the area will close in January.

That leaves Dayton metropolitan area four area locations. Huber Heights, Beavercreek, Centerville, and Miamisburg locations are still open for the time being.

Since 2013, the areas surrounding the Upper Valley Mall and Bechtle Avenue shopping district were hit with retail closing up.

When it was announced J.C. Penny and Macy's were closing in the same period, it put the nail in the coffin for the Upper Valley Mall. It's now declared a dead mall.

Springfield Ohio's only Target store is closing.
The mall is in receivership and the property's only anchor store Sears is considering closing.

The property hasn't secure a major anchor since the announcement.

The Bon Ton Corporation which owns Dayton-based Elder-Beerman closed first. Then Macy's and later J.C. Penny.

The Springfield city and township leaders are hoping that Hobby Lobby and Dick's Sporting Goods brings a little bit of good news to the area.

The Columbus area took a hit as well. Despite having the Hollywood Casino in the area, the Westland Mall is officially dead and everything around it is dying as well.

The Target Graceland location on West Broad Street in Columbus, Ohio is closing in January.

Target had closed all its Canadian stores in 2014-15. The 133 stores operated independently of the Target Corporation. It pull completely out of the country.

Target is trying to rebrand its image. They recently aired promotional for The Peanuts Movie and a cameo appearance from Brian and Stewie from Fox's Family Guy.

Uncle Tom's Cabin Historical Site!



I am sharing my experience of traveling in Canada.

I went to the town of Dresden, Ontario. It's about 76 miles from Detroit. I was traveling the Highway 401 towards London. I saw the sign that said Uncle Tom's Cabin Historic Site. 

I couldn't help but go and visit this.

It's a part of Civil Rights History.

The Henson estate. Josiah Henson, a former slave, author, abolitionist, and minister, who, through his 1849 autobiography The Life of Josiah Henson, Formerly a Slave, Now an Inhabitant of Canada, as Narrated by Himself, was the inspiration for Harriet Beecher Stowe's title character in her novel Uncle Tom's Cabin.[

The 5-acre (20,000 m2) complex is part of the original 200 acres (0.81 km2) of land purchased in 1841 to establish the Dawn Settlement, a community for escaped slaves.

The original Henson cabin was located on a different location nearby and opened as a museum in the 1940s by an area farmer, William Chapple.

The house was moved to the existing location in 1964 by J.D. Thomson, and subsequently was owned and operated by Kent County, Ontario and then the St. Clair Parkway Commission. Uncle Tom's Cabin Historic Site has been owned by the Ontario Heritage Trust since 2005.

Henson Family Cemetery is located on the site. The original cabin was moved slightly for the museum and interactive centre. 

I show some pictures and also posted my first YouTube video in five years.



















Have you read the epic novel Uncle Tom's Cabin by American writer Harriett Beecher Stowe?

Have you visited the National Underground Railroad Museum in Cincinnati?

Have you read about Mother Moses?

Dingleberry Kasich Jumps Into The Clown Car!

Ohio's biggest dingleberry John Kasich is in the clown car.

I live in the state of Ohio. And the news of our governor Republican John Kasich jumping into the clown car is no surprise.

Kasich talked to GOP Sundays host John Dickerson about his chances. Kasich said that it's time. He knows that his poll numbers are extremely low, but he figures they will rise once he jumps in.

He touts Ohio's unemployment rate, the state's budget surplus and wellness as a factor to his decision to run.

In July he will announce his bid at Ohio State University. He will make his intentions known.

After all, he won Ohio in a landslide. He beat the Democratic nominee by 40 points. He won over 30% of the Black vote. And despite his budget cuts, his union busting law SB-5 was repealed.

Republicans hate Kasich's embracing of Obamacare. He is willing to accept Medicaid and Medicare.

Kasich is relatively moderate. He is a former congressman and talk show host.

He once hosted a show on that network that may inspired that terrorist to kill nine innocent lives at a church.

He will make 15 or 16. I am not sure. Will Wisconsin's Scott Walker jump in before Kasich?
Conservatives think Kasich and Weeper John Boehner (R-OH) are too close President Barack Obama.
Kasich can be thanked for bringing LaBron James back to Cleveland.

The Republican Convention is in Cleveland.

Ohio's unemployment is at 4.7% currently.

Kasich kept his mouth closed during the John Crawford and Tamir Rice controversies. These two were gunned down by police. Crawford in Walmart when he picked up a BB gun. Rice when he was in a Cleveland park playing with a BB gun. He ordered mandatory testing for any new recruits in law enforcement. He asked the Black community for better relations.

He has a lapse on gun control. He will allow guns in bars, churches, parks and government buildings.

The 63-year-old governor will announce in a speech at the Ohio Union on the campus of his alma mater; and he will follow it up with an announcement tour through Michigan, South Carolina, Iowa and New Hampshire.

Hamilton County Republican Party chairman Alex Triantafilou said he has been invited to the July 21 campaign kick-off; and said he believes Kasich will be a top-tier candidate in a crowded field of GOP presidential contenders.

“It’s a wide open field; no one candidate dominates,’’ Triantafilou said. “There is a good story that can be told by the governor of a successful state that can help separate him from the pack.”

Kasich’s experience in the 1990s as House Budget chairman and his four-and-half years as governor of a state that will be a key battleground state in the presidential election will help,  Triantafilou said.

“Based on resume alone, this guy’s got what it takes to be president,’’ Triantafilou said.

Kasich was back on a Sunday morning talk show yesterday – this time CBS’ Face the Nation, where he was asked once again when he might officially join the crowded Republican presidential field.

“We’re getting awfully close to making a decision,’’ Kasich said.

On Face the Nation, Kasich said he had run for governor to fix what he viewed were Ohio’s problems.

“Now I can go out and tell my story and hopefully the polls will rise,’’ Kasich said. “We’ll see.”
Kasich is a total dingleberry,
And Kasich needs a boost to be among the top ten candidates who will make the first GOP presidential debate set for Aug. 6 at Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland – the site of the 2016 Republican nominating convention.

That network he once worked for is a co-sponsor of the debate with Facebook, has said it will take an average of five national polls on Aug. 4. The top 10 finishers will be invited to participate.

Right now, Kasich does not qualify in any of the national independent polls, polling at one to three percent support.

John C. Green, director of the Ray C. Bliss Institute of Applied Politics at the University of Akron, said the groundwork Kasich has laid and the July 21 campaign kick-off could give him a bump in the polling that would qualify him for the debate.

Green said Kasich will immediately be taken seriously as a presidential contender.

“He has real accomplishments to point to,” Green said. “You can compare his resume to others in the race, and his is very similar to a lot of them.”

Green said he would expect that Kasich will campaign on a theme of turning an $8 billion state budget deficit into a $2 billion surplus without raising taxes.

If there is a downside, Green said, it is the difficulty of running for president while holding a full time job as the governor of a major state.

“It’s a little more difficult for a governor than a senator, because a governor is involved in making policy decisions,’’ Green said.

Paul Laurence Dunbar: American Dreamer!

Legendary Black playwright and poet Paul Laurence Dunbar wrote some of the world's most famous poems and sonnets.

June 27, 1872 was the birth of American poet and playwright Paul Laurence Dunbar.

My community celebrates the life of a great poet. His legacy is a part of Dayton, Ohio. His home is on Summit Street (now named Paul Laurence Dunbar St.) a national monument.

Dayton, Ohio is where he grew up writing his best poems, plays and sonnets.

He grew up around the time Orville and Wilbur Wright wanted to patent inventions.

He traveled overseas. He found love with  Alice Ruth Moore a fellow poet. He became one of the world's greatest poets of the late 19th and early 20th century. He found personal demons as well.

He would become involved in alcohol and depression. He would end up losing his life to TB (tuberculosis). He buried at the Woodland Cemetery in Dayton.

His home is part of the Dayton Aviation National Historical Park and is an Ohio designated state monument.

Born to parents who had been slaves in Kentucky before the American Civil War, Dunbar started to write as a child and was president of his high school's literary society. He published his first poems at the age of 16 in a Dayton newspaper.

Much of his more popular work in his lifetime was written in the Negro dialect associated with the antebellum South. His work was praised by William Dean Howells, a leading critic associated with the Harper's Weekly, and Dunbar was one of the first African-American writers to establish a national reputation. He wrote the lyrics for the musical comedy, In Dahomey (1903), the first all-African-American musical produced on Broadway; the musical also toured in the United States and the United Kingdom.

Dunbar also wrote in conventional English in other poetry and novels; since the late 20th century, scholars have become more interested in these other works.



National HIV Testing Day!

The Department of Health and Human Services wants Americans to get tested.

Today is HIV Testing Day. On June 27, many communities are offering residents an opportunity for testing for the dangerous virus that can progress to AIDS.

HIV can be transmitted through sexual intercourse (anal, vagina and oral), sharing needles with an infected partner, and blood transfusions.

HIV can be affected greatly in the African American community. HIV doesn't discriminate against any race, gender, sexuality, religious, economic or political standings. 

Vicki West.
The disease can affect you from two weeks to up to 10 years. The person who is affected may not notice symptoms. 

HIV risk are greatly increased when the person isn't aware of the disease. The person may practice in unsafe sexual practices. The person may be a heroin user who uses needles that may be infected with another user's blood.

Chances have increased. At least out of 225 people at least ten would be living with the virus. 

HIV can not be cured. It can be treated. A person can live a healthy life with HIV if they take measures with their doctor and ensure a path to long life. HIV is not a shameful disease. 

If you inform your partner (or partners) you may save their lives too. 

Anyone affected with HIV and willingly spreads it to partners without informing them can face a CLASS THREE FELONY and it could land you in the iron college for minimum of 4 years up to 15 to LIFE.

Oral sex is risky for two reasons. Any sexual exchange of bodily fluids with a person infected with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, poses a risk of infection. Risk of STI infection, however, is generally considered significantly lower for oral sex than for vaginal or anal sex, with HIV transmission considered the lowest risk with regard to oral sex.

The National HIV Testing Day is organized annually by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Service's AIDS.GOV program. Walgreens is one corporate sponsor, and offers free HIV testing on that day at a number of its drugstore locations, in fact in 140 cities in 2014.

The day has been an event since 1995, when it was organized by the National Association of People with AIDS (NAPWA).

Vicki West is one of the country's most notorious HIV cases. She is a Dayton, Ohio woman who lives with the disease. She is a prostitute who is actively spreading the disease to individuals. She has been arrested over numerous times in Dayton and Cincinnati. 

Dayton and Cincinnati police have warned residents that HIV is active in prostitutes who engage in heroin and numerous partners.

Because of Vicki West, many states including Ohio have passed laws that will put individuals in the iron college if they're caught deliberately spreading HIV.

West is currently in the iron college. Last time I've check the inmate listings, she'll be back on the streets by the end of the year.

West will continue her path to destruction and Americans must take heed to her and those who don't practice safe sex .

So if you're sexuality active, a drug user, a person who is unsure about your partner, or just because you want to, get tested.

Getting tested for HIV doesn't make you any less of a person. It actually makes you a hero!

Talk to a doctor or sexual health counselor if you need to learn about HIV.

Cincinnati Mourning An Officer Killed In Morning Shootout!

Cincinnati Police Officer Sonny Kim.
Sonny Kim was an officer for the Cincinnati Police. He was gunned down by a suspect. He and the suspect were killed.

Again when the chips are down, the good ones die. And today, Cincinnati Police announced the death of 48 year old Sonny Kim, a 27 year veteran of the department.

He and others were responding to an erratic man in Madionsville. I am guessing the man decided to go out with a bang. In the firefight, Kim was injured gravely. He would die at the hospital. The chief Jeffery Blackwell express shock and sadness. He commended Kim as a great officer who done what was right for his community and the people he swore to protect.

World News Today send our condolences to family of Sonny Kim.

Kim immigrated from South Korea to settle in the city of Cincinnati. He would join the force in the 1990s and continue his work in public service.

The suspect 21 year old Tre Hummons would later die of his injuries and the city is sharing their thoughts on it. The Cincinnati Enquirer reports that details are emerging on what happened today.

Much of what happened near the intersection of Roe Street and Whetsel Avenue is unclear, but Blackwell did provide a basic timeline:

Police got a call at 9:03 a.m. about a man with a gun. At 9:10 a.m., a second call came in to dispatchers. Nine minutes later, Kim responded. And seven minutes after that, at 9:26 a.m., frantic officers were hurrying to the scene to provide backup.

Both Kim and the suspect were taken to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center.

Blackwell praised officers' "valiant" attempts to save their fallen colleague's life. He asked the community to pray not only for Kim's family, but also for the department as a whole.

Kim was known as a friendly, familiar face around the neighborhood as a longtime District 2 officer. He was passionate about martial arts, having served as an instructor with Japanese Karate-Do for nearly 20 years. Blackwell described him as an exemplary officer, well liked and physically fit.

Capt. Jeff Butler, who worked closely with Kim in District 2, fought back tears as he spoke to reporters.

"Sonny Kim was the consummate police officer," he said.

City Manager Harry Black said the city would honor Kim as a hero.

"This is a stark reminder that all jobs are not created equal," Black said, adding that police officers "have the courage and conviction to do what many of us might not be prepared to do -- that is to sacrifice their lives if necessary."
Cincinnati mayor John Cranley and police chief Jeffery Blackwell are shocked that an officer died in the line of duty.
Blackwell said earlier this morning that the officer had been wearing body armor, but that he was struck anyway in the chest.

In a March 2014 interview with the online karate magazine The Shotokan Way, he described how stressful his job as an officer was and how important he considered his training.

"In the USA, most of our police tactical training deals mainly with firearm encounters," Kim told the publication. "Having an assailant with a firearm will put you under some emotional and physiological duress."

He said police trainers have a saying: "You will perform how you train."

"One must train hard and under pressure in a realistic environment," he said.

Kim is the 98th Cincinnati police officer to die in the line of duty -- the first since 2000.

"There's not much you can say," said CPD Chaplain Tyronne Patrick. "I let the officers talk to me. They have to do the talking. It's like losing a child."

Somber-faced officers embraced and consoled each other as it rained off and on at the shooting scene.

"My heart is just heavy for his family at this time," Sara Sheets, director of the Madisonville Community Urban Redevelopment Corp., said of Kim. Sheets has lived in Madisonville for 12 years.

Her home is a block from the shooting.

Fairfield Ohio Police Under Fire For Beat Down Of Unarmed Teens At A Pool!


The city of Fairfield, Ohio is located 14 miles from Cincinnati. The city is under fire for a major controversy.

The police are under fire for a brutal beat down of two teens. A 12-year old girl had her face and ribs broken by police.

The Dayton Daily News reports that two adults and two children were arrested that day on charges of disorderly conduct and resisting arrest after a large fight at the city-run pool on Augusta Boulevard. The individuals arrested refused to leave the premises after one youth was asked to leave because he was not wearing the proper swimming attire, according to police.

Fairfield police contend officers did nothing wrong.

Hilton disputed Fairfield officers account of the incident and showed a video of the family’s encounter captured by someone at the facility.

In the footage, where loud screams are heard throughout, an officer is seen pulling a young girl away from the crowd with his arm around her neck and arm as he puts her against a vehicle and pulls her arms behind her back. The girl screams throughout before finally saying, “Ok, Ok.” Another male officer is seen using pepper spray on a young girl who is clinging desperately to an iron gate as a female officer grabs her around the neck in an attempt to dislodge her. The officer can be heard shouting, “Just let go of the gate…Get off the gate.”

The incident is the latest of several across the nation that have called into question the conduct of officers towards African-Americans.

“I never want to be known as one that stands against police officers. I do my best to honor law enforcement as much as I possibly can. When I find there is a controversy between the truth and what individuals are saying, I must stand on the side of truth, no matter where that truth is,” Hilton said.

That day at the pool, Krystal Dixon, 33, took her children and some nieces and nephews to the pool, as they had done for many years. Dixon left and the kids, a total of eight, started swimming.

It was at that point that pool employees stopped one of Dixon’s nephews, saying he did not have proper attire on. Signs posted at the pool state that swimmers must wear proper swim attire. The nephew and Dixon’s daughter called Dixon and informed her they were told to leave. Krystal told the kids she was coming back and had the nephew’s swim trunks with her.

Hilton said it was only the nephew that did not have swimming attire; the other kids did.

When Dixon, who is pregnant, returned to the pool, the kids were “off the property” as had been demanded. Dixon went into the Aquatic Center to find out what was happening. She was told the nephew did not have proper attire, but got in the pool anyway.
What they done to that young girl was brutal. The press conference from 
“Krystal looks at the young man, and there is not a drop of water on him,” Hilton said. It’s at this point that someone began recording video.

Dixon asked pool staff if she could have her money back and was told no. As she walked toward the pool area to get the kids, an officer attempted to grab Dixon and ask what she was doing. Fairfield police said one of the city’s park rangers was on site at the time. That ranger had handcuffs.

On the video, one of the kids asked, “What are you going to do with that?” The ranger responds, “I’m going to arrest you for not leaving.”

As Dixon was heading back out, a police officer asked her for an ID. Dixon said she didn’t have one, because she was wearing swimming attire. The officer grabbed Dixon by the arm, and that’s when the incident escalated, Hilton said. Multiple officers responded to the scene.

Hilton said a police officer grabbed the 12-year-old female “by the neck, slam her up against a police car, and this young lady, 12 years old, sustained multiple injuries,” Hilton said, though he would not specify what those injuries were.

Dixon told our news partner’s WCPO 9 On Your Side that her daughter sustained a broken jaw and three broken ribs.

Hilton said the video “clearly” shows the 12-year-old not assaulting an officer.

Hilton spoke at the Word Family Life Center, with Krystal and her sister Maya Dixon, of Columbus. Fairfield police arrested both of them, charging them with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest.

Police also arrested two juveniles, charging a 15-year-old boy with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest, and charging a 12-year-old girl with assault and resisting arrest.

The Dixons are expected to answer to the charges in Fairfield Municipal Court Wednesday. One of their attorneys is Clyde Bennett, who represented controversial Hamilton County Juvenile Court Judge Tracie Hunter.

After investigating the case and looking a the video, Bennett said Tuesday it is “crystal clear Ms. Dixon did nothing wrong.”

“People will believe that if the officer tells you to do something, you automatically you must do it in the state of Ohio. The fact is that is not the law in the state of Ohio,” Bennett said. “Resisting arrest is when you resist a lawful arrest, so the police have to have a lawful reason for the arrest … In this case, there was no legal reason whatsoever to arrest Ms. Dixon.”
Some of the images that were captured by camera phone shows the police using forced restraint.
Bennett added: “If you don’t do anything illegal, and you don’t do anything wrong, then police do not have the right to arrest you. So if the police try to arrest you and that arrest is an unlawful arrest, you can resist actually.”

Bennett said he is not saying that is what happened in the Dixon case, but it is a part of law people do not understand.

Fairfield Police Chief Mike Dickey has watched the videos shown at the press conference Tuesday, and he said the videos support his contention that the officers did nothing wrong.

“I think those videos only reinforce the statements we made earlier. Our officers were in a difficult situation, and they handled it with restraint,” he said.

Hilton said the officers did not use restraint.

“Where did the officers show a lot of restraint? … This mother wasn’t out of control. She wasn’t over there cursing and refusing to make their kids leave .. she was prevented from leaving. Had that officer not grabbed her at that point, this incident would not have happened. Can police learned how to deescalate instead of escalate situations. This angers me,” he said, his voice rising.

Dickey countered that the videos show officers “being mobbed by individuals while trying to make an arrest after the folks they’re trying to deal with wouldn’t leave as directed … the accusations are not based based on what we’ve seen in the videos.”

The chief also pointed out the videos do not depict the entirety of the incident.

“We do know that some of the stuff that took place that prompted the entire incident was before the mother ever arrived,” he said. The video shown at the press conference begins with Krystal Dixon approaching Aquatic Center staff after she returned to the pool.

Hilton also decried public response to the incident, saying commentators were calling the family “lowdown names. We’re sick of it … now every black teenager is some scary bugaboo.”
Hilton said this incident doesn’t just affect this family.

“It affects kids all over this county, all over the state, and all over this nation, and it needs to stop,” he said. “That’s why we need community policing reform. That’s why we need criminal justice reform.”
Hilton challenged people to look at the video.

“Please tell me where the kids are acting so bad. Please tell me where this mother, who’s pregnant, is acting so horrible,” he said. “They feed into this narrative that causes this to yet be a divided nation, and we have no business being divided by race.”

Hilton said when officers go to court to testify, “their word has always been taken over and above a defendant’s.

“But we have too many officers lying. Those officers knew these things were being videotaped, and they’re still going to report to you such lies,” he said. “This bothers me. I’m saddened and I’m hurt.”

Dickey said his department will review the incident, as it reviews all incidents regarding use of force.

“Every police officer receives conflict resolution training at the police academy, and every year there is in-service training on various topics … I can’t say we’ve had any kind of specific training of our officers on how to de-escalate in the middle of a fight while you’re trying to settle things down, but if you look at the officers’ conduct objectively, there is every effort being made to get this situation under control,” he said.

Hilton said when the family went back later to the police to make a report, they were told they could not make a report and had to talk to Dickey. It was at that point the family approached Hilton, he said.

When one of the pool’s employees called 911, she said, “They’re videotaping, trying to make it look like a racist thing, and it’s not at all. They were breaking our policies. We told them they couldn’t be here anymore, and it’s really scary and I don’t feel safe.” The employee then begins to break down and cry during the call.

Hilton said he heard the call and “people will look at situations and walk away with their own conclusions. Would she have had the same conclusion if all of them were white? I doubt it.”

The civil rights leaders and public are demanding answers to what happened.

Cue, the annoying conservative agitator. The biggest concern troll to ever exist in the media gathers his deck of cards and decides to pull out either Jesse Lee Peterson, Kevin Jackson, David Webb or Deenan Boreli.

These dancing fools are fixated on blaming the victim. If you're Black and you're brutalized by the police, expect the conservative agitators to automatically blame the president, the civil rights leaders and Black America.
