Fla. Security Guard Charged With 1st Degree Murder For Killing Unarmed Black Man (another stand your ground story)

Lukace Shane Kendle, the security guard that shot 29-year-old Kijuan Byrd dead outside of Club Lexx strip club in Miami, has been arrested and charged with first-degree murder, the Miami Herald reports.
The arrest comes after Byrd’s family, who is represented by Trayvon Martin’s family attorney Benjamin Crump, held a press conference complaining that the Miami-Dade Police Department was too slow in pursuing charges against Kendle. NewsOne reported on Friday that Byrd and his friend, Michael Smathers, were shot outside of the strip club on June 1, leaving Byrd dead and Smathers in critical condition.

He noticed Byrd and Smathers inside of a Ford F-150 in a nearby parking space rolling up marijuana cigarettes. Kendle says she first decided to join co-workers across the parking lot, but turned back to retrieve something from his truck. As approached his truck, Kendle says he saw the Ford’s doors swing open and then heard someone shout, “I’m going to kill that n—–.”

Kendle says as Smather’s was exiting the vehicle, he “might have been pulling something ‘upwards.’ ’’ Kendle never saw a weapon, but says he feared for his life. He then pulled out his gun and shot Smathers four times. Kendle then focused on Byrd. He told the cops that he shot in Byrd’s direction once because he felt his life was in danger. Byrd had crawled under the vehicle at this point.

Here is how the rest of the fatal night went down:

In the warrant, Kendle said he could not see Byrd’s hand, but still fired anyway because he was still “in fear for his life.”Byrd and Smathers were taken to Jackson Memorial Hospital’s Ryder Trauma Center, where Byrd later died. An autopsy later revealed that Byrd was shot 11 times. Smathers was still hospitalized Friday in critical condition.

The public was outraged over the details of the case. Not to mention that Kendle was still a free man after shooting two unarmed men, leaving one dead and the other fighting for his life.

Miami-Dade police spokeswoman Detective Aida Fina-Milian said the police needed the time so that the case could be handled correctly.

“It’s important to conduct a thorough investigation,” she said.

Crump, the Byrd’s family attorney, feels that it took more than a week for an arrest to be made because Kendle was using Florida’s “Stand Your Ground Law” as his defense. He says the law makes no sense.

“It sends the message that you can shoot people and not be held accountable,” Crump said. “We have to seriously revise this.”

Byrd was employed as an electrician and the father of two children — a 3-year-old daughter and a 1-year-old son.

Details on a possible bond for Kendle or his next court date were not available at the time of publication.

Philly Cops Savagely Beat Teen To Bloody Pulp, Reportedly Splits Head Open (beating of an young Judite caught on video)

Four Philadelphia police officers are on desk duty after savagely beating 18-year-oldMarcus Warryton last week. The incident took place when Warryton was stopped for allegedly running a stop sign, NBC 10 Philadelphia reports. The violent arrest was captured on cellphone video.In the video, two police officers have Warryton pressed against a police vehicle. Warryton seems to be struggling with the two cops in the video. One of them hits Warryton with his hand. Soon after, two other cops come to their aide and began beating Warryton. Several baton shots sent Warryton to the ground. But the officers, who were in full control of the situation at this point, continued to beat on the 18-year-old.

One of the officers struck the young man in the head so hard that a blood splatter shot on the ground. “Hey Yo, he’s bleeding,” someone outside of the camera’s view yelled at the officers who still continued their savage beating of the young man who was clearly not resisting at that point.

“You split his f***king head,” the same voice shouted.

Blood covered the pavement where the young man was being beaten. The beating, which began in the middle of the street, moved towards the street curb where officers asked Warryton to roll over on his stomach. Warryton was slow to respond. And for good reason.

How could he have followed those instructions after receiving multiple baton shots to the head? The young man was clearly dazed and unable to follow the instructions, but the cops continued to beat him anyway for to obeying them. Once the young man was completely on the ground, one of the officers placed his foot on Warryton’s head.

This was clearly a case of police brutality. But Philly’s top cop, who is black, doesn’t agree.

“I think the video clearly shows he was resisting arrest,” said Police Commissioner Charles Ramsey.

Commissioner Ramsey claims he’s reviewed two different cell phone videos of the incident.

“Our officers have the ability and the right to use force to overcome that,” said Commissioner Ramsey. ”The question is always how much is too much.”

If you see the video, it is “clear” that the officers used too much force. It is disturbing that four officers–FOUR OF THEM– could not come up with non-brutal ways of restraining Warryton.

They behaved not like professionally-trained law enforcement officials, but like animals hellbent of conquering their kill. In fact, it is surprising that the young man is still alive. Warryton’s family says he is still in jail on $150,000 bond. He has been also charged with assault, resisting arrest and other offenses. His attorney is trying to get him released.

Warryton’s family say that he was beaten so severely that he has staples in his head. All of this started after a simple traffic stop. Let us hope that none of us are driving in Philadelphia and stopped for a simple traffic violation.

One would need to be wearing a seat belt, as well as a helmet.

But Warryton’s savage beating by cops in Philadelphia is not an isolated incident. As of August of 2011, the U.S. Justice department is reviewing 20 police departments nationwide–the most in U.S. history– for a number of violations, including abuse of power. The Justice Department recently met with New York City officials over complaints that the city’s controversial policing program “stop and frisk” give cops the power to further abuse their power–not stop crime.

Police officers, I am sure, are very aware of accusations of brutality by fellow cops. But they continue to squeeze the trigger and swing the baton at will because they know the “Blue Shield” will always protect them.

But the question we all need to ask ourselves is this: Where is our shield to protect us from the cops?

Zec 11:5

Whose possessors slay them, and hold themselves not guilty: and they that sell them say, Blessed [be] the LORD; for I am rich: and their own shepherds pity them not.

Jer 30:14

All thy lovers have forgotten thee; they seek thee not; for I have wounded thee with the wound of an enemy, with the chastisement of a cruel one, for the multitude of thine iniquity; [because] thy sins were increased.

Watch Out! Gonorrhea May Be Untreatable Soon

A potentially dangerous sexually transmitted disease that infects millions of people each year is growing resistant to drugs and could soon become untreatable, the World Health Organization said Wednesday.
The U.N. health agency is urging governments and doctors to step up surveillance of antibiotic-resistant gonorrhea, a bacterial infection that can cause inflammation, infertility, pregnancy complications and, in extreme cases, lead to maternal death. Babies born to Mothers with gonorrhea have a 50 percent chance of developing eye infections that can result in blindness.

“This organism has basically been developing resistance against every medication we’ve thrown at it,” said Dr. Manjula Lusti-Narasimhan, a scientist in the agency’s department of sexually transmitted diseases. This includes a group of antibiotics called “cephalosporins” currently considered the last line of treatment.
Lusti-Narasimhan said the new guidance is aimed at ending complacency about gonorrhea and encouraging researchers to speed up their hunt for a new cure.Once considered a scourge of sailors and soldiers, gonorrhea – known colloquially as the clap – became easily treatable with the discovery of penicillin. Now, it is again the second most common sexually transmitted infection after chlamydia. The global health body estimates that of the 498 million new cases of curable sexually transmitted infections worldwide, gonorrhea is responsible for some 106 million infections annually. It also increases the chances of infection with other diseases, such as HIV.

Deu 28:60

Moreover he will bring upon thee all the diseases of Egypt, which thou wast afraid of; and they shall cleave unto thee.

Alabama Man Charged With Murdering 9-Year-Old Twins, Elderly Babysitter(About Esau and Israelite children)

Deandra Marquis Lee, an Alabama man acquitted in a double murder, is being charged with killing 9-year-old twins Jordan and Taylor Dejerinett as well as their elderly babysitter Jack Girdner earlier this week, a prosecutor said Thursday.

Police are now looking for Lee, 22, who was out on bail on felony gun and robbery charges when the killings occurred Tuesday. He has been charged with three counts of murder, Lowndes County District Attorney Charlotte Tesmer said.

Authorities believe the slayings happened on a dirt road where the bodies were found. All three victims had been shot, the Alabama Bureau of Investigation (ABI) said Thursday night.

It was unclear if Lee knew any of the victims or their families.

Authorities previously identified Lee as a person of interest in the deaths of the twins and their 73-year-old babysitter, Girdner.

Girdner was a family friend who watched the children for their mother while she was at work. Authorities said Girdner had known the family for about three years after meeting them at the church they attended in Montgomery.

Investigators found the bodies Tuesday a few miles from the man’s home in Hope Hull in central Alabama. When the twins’ mother returned from work, there was nobody at the house, said Lowndes County Sheriff’s Chief Deputy James Martin.

The ABI said late Thursday that Girdner’s 1988 Mercedes Benz was found in Dallas County and that all four doors had been removed.

Lee was arrested Dec. 15 in Dallas County and charged with a felony count of possessing a firearm with an altered serial number, obstruction of justice, resisting arrest and violation of a license to carry a pistol, said District Attorney Michael Jackson. Lee fought with officers who stopped him in Selma, Jackson said, though it wasn’t clear why he was initially pulled over.

On Feb. 9, in neighboring Lowndes County, Lee was arrested on a third-degree robbery charge stemming from a strong-arm car theft in July 2011, said Chief Deputy James Martin. He was released on bond in that case, too.

The car theft occurred about four months after Lee was acquitted in Dallas County on two counts of capital murder and one count of attempted murder in a 2008 shooting, Jackson said.

Lee was riding in a car with three fellow gang members when a dispute erupted over a gun, Jackson said. Two men were slain and a third man was wounded, and jurors acquitted Lee after he and the survivor each accused the other of the slayings.

“There was a big dispute about who did the killing in the case,” he said. “It was a hung jury for like three days and he finally got acquitted.”

The ABI said Lee is believed to be in the Selma area of Dallas County, and is likely armed and extremely dangerous. U.S. Marshals are assisting in the search.

“We have been working closely with the ABI and other agencies in the hunt for Mr. Lee,” Selma Chief of Police William T. Riley told The Selma Times-Journal on Thursday. “We have received tips that claim he is in this area or that area and we are aggressively chasing those leads down.”

Lee most recently lived in Montgomery.

Black Leaders and Gay Advocates March in Step

For years, gay rights organizations and major civil rights organizations viewed each other warily. African-American leaders often saw the gay rights groups as insensitive to racial concerns, and some resented the movement's use of civil rights language to make the case for same-sex marriage. Advocates for gay rights, in turn, sometimes blamed socially conservative African-Americans for their defeat in crucial electoral battles.

But since the relationship reached something of a crisis with the passage of Proposition 8, California's ballot initiative against same-sex marriage, in 2008, leaders in both movements have made an effort to bring their groups closer together.

Now, conversations among leaders in the gay, black and Latino communities have borne significant fruit: On May 19, the board of the N.A.A.C.P. voted to endorse same-sex marriage.

And then, last Tuesday, representatives of several national gay rights organizations gathered at New York City's Stonewall Inn, often described as the birthplace of their movement, to announce that they would march to protest the New York Police Department's stop-and-frisk practice, under which the police each year have been stopping hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers, most of them black or Latino, in an effort to prevent crime.

Some of the gay rights leaders specifically cited support from the N.A.A.C.P. for same-sex marriage as a reason they decided to oppose the stop-and-frisk policy.

"We need to find ways to strengthen our alliances and really strengthen our commitment to one another," said Jeffrey Campagna, a national gay rights organizer who is coordinating the involvement of gay rights groups in the march on June 17 against the stop-and-frisk practice.

Julian Bond, a former chairman of the N.A.A.C.P. and a founder of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, said he saw the association's support for same-sex marriage as a way to acknowledge the contributions of gay rights advocates - most had not come out publicly at the time - in the civil rights movement.

"I knew these people, whom I just assumed to be gay, and I knew what they were doing on my behalf - and I hoped on their behalf, too," he said. "I was grateful for it, and when the chance came, I wanted to pay them back."

The same-sex-marriage and stop-and-frisk issues are only the most visible signs of closer collaboration.

Around the country, gay rights groups have joined minority advocacy organizations in political battles on behalf of voting rights and affirmative action. And in California, Oregon and Colorado, gay rights organizations have formed partnerships with immigrant rights groups to fight aggressive immigration laws.

And even before the national board of the N.A.A.C.P. voted to support same-sex marriage, that organization and other civil rights groups got involved in marriage battles on the state level. In North Carolina, the N.A.A.C.P. paid for radio and print advertisements, direct mail and "robocalls" urging black voters to oppose an amendment banning same-sex marriage; the amendment passed in May. In Maryland, where the State Legislature voted to legalize same-sex marriage in February, the Rev. Al Sharpton of the National Action Network and Wade Henderson of the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights were prominent supporters.

"You must be for the civil rights of everyone, or you're not for the civil rights of anyone," Mr. Sharpton said last week.

One indication of the new rapport: Chad Griffin, who is taking over on Monday as president of the Human Rights Campaign, the nation's leading gay rights group, plans to have lunch on one of his first days in Washington with the president of the N.A.A.C.P., Benjamin Todd Jealous.

Mr. Jealous explained the newfound collaboration with a reference to Bayard Rustin, the pacifist and civil rights advocate who was black and gay.

"In the last four years, with the increase in hate crimes across the country, with states attempting to encode discrimination into their state laws and constitutions," Mr. Jealous said, "it's become clear that, just as Bayard Rustin admonished us all, that we would either stand together or die apart."

The distance that has long existed between the gay rights and civil rights movements has complex roots. In addition to the strain of social conservatism that pervades many black Protestant churches, gay rights advocates' use of the phrase "civil rights" and comparisons of the two movements have sometimes offended African-Americans, according to Michael Eric Dyson, a professor of sociology at Georgetown University.

"When gay and lesbian people say, 'Hey, we understand, because we've been oppressed, too' and 'Like black people, we...,' that's a nonstarter for many black people," he said.

Keith Boykin, an author who has written about homosexuality in the black community, said that "when people hear civil rights and gay rights, they think that people are trying to equate the two movements." As a result, he said, "we sometimes get caught up in these hierarchies of oppression."

For its part, the gay rights movement has sometimes struggled to be racially inclusive.

Mega Pastor Creflo Dollar Arrested (The pimp Creflo Dollar)

Police arrested mega-church pastor Creflo Dollar Jr. on simple battery charges in Fayette County on Friday. Dollar is known for his controversial teachings of Prosperity theology.

Channel 2’s Tom Jones learned that Dollar was booked into the county jail at 2 a.m. A judge set Dollar’s bond at $5,000 during a morning hearing.Investigator Brent Rowan with the Fayette County Sheriff’s Office says deputies responded to a call of domestic violence at the home around 1 a.m. Friday.

Rowan says the 50-year-old pastor and his daughter were arguing over whether she could go to a party when Dollar “got physical” with her, leaving her with “superficial injuries.”

Dollar faces misdemeanor charges of simple battery and cruelty to children.

Last year Creflo Dollar was widely criticized for telling EddieLong’s New Birth defectors to return back to their church. 

Dollar is the founder and senior pastor of World Changers Church in College Park. The church has nearly 30,000 members and includes satellite campuses in 10 cities. Dollar’s weekly services are broadcast across the country. Dollar and his wife, Taffi, have five children and live in Atlanta.
