    Police Shoot Unarmed Man and his 6-Year-Old Autistic Son in the Head Multiple Times Killing Son

    As of Thursday morning, at least 834 people had been shot and killed by American police officers so far this year.

    Six-year-old Jeremy David Mardis is the youngest among them.

    The autistic first-grader was sitting in the front passenger seat of a car being driven by his father, Chris Few, in Marksville, La., when city marshals “allegedly” attempted to serve the man a warrant about 9:30 p.m. Tuesday night. But when checked with the County Clerks office, no warrant could be found in the database.

    Police claim Few fled, eventually turning down a dead-end street. And that Few then attempted to back his vehicle out, striking officers’ cruisers, prompting an exchange of gunfire between the officers and driver that left him hospitalized and his son dead.

    However, An official briefed on the shooting said that Few was unarmed when two officers opened fire, shooting between 13 and 18 bullets combined. Five of the officers’ bullets pierced Jeremy’s body, Mayeux said, with the two fatal shots hitting him in the head and chest. That official said it is unclear if the shooting was captured on camera.

    The police involved in the shooting all had criminal records including rape.

    After the officers names were released, It didn’t take long for local press to uncover extensive rap sheets for both officers:

    • Derrick Stafford, the officer indicted for rape, also has five pending civil suits against him for various complaints of excessive force, including breaking the arm of a 14-year-old girl on a school bus as well as assaulting and pepper-spraying a 15-year-old boy at a Fourth of July celebration.
    • Norris Greenhouse Jr., the other officer implicated in the murder of 6-year-old Jeremy Mardis, is named in several of the same suits for acting in tandem with Stafford.

    Louisiana State Police announced on Wednesday that they had launched an investigation into the incident at the request of the Marksville Police Department.

    Casual reminder: Bernie has lost 16 states to Clinton. Obama lost 21 to Clinton including Florida and Ohio. Bernie is also projected to do pretty well in the next two primaries. Please keep the faith and please keep voting! We failed him today big time, but he still has a chance. Please get out there and vote, because if we give up on him now we will really be failing him. Be loud, be proud, and speak up!

    Don’t think of it as us failing him. Tuesday was the last big bunch of Primaries where Clinton has a major advantage in the polls. We’ll pick up from here.

  • Why Tony Todd is awesome.

    dontbearuiner:

    madlori:

    Lemme tell you a story about Tony Todd.

    You know him. Yeah, you do.

    This fly mofo has been in everything. Like, seriously. He’s been in some major Hollywood movies (Platoon, for example, The Rock and all the Final Destination movies) but is probably most famous for playing the Candyman, and starring in about a million B-horror movies. His list of TV credits reads like a comprehensive list of genre and procedurals. Your favorite show? He was probably in it. He’s just been cast in a recurring role in “The Flash.”

    But among geeks, he is probably most famous for his recurring role in both TNG and DS9 as Kurn, Worf’s brother.

    Kurn was a fantastic character with a developed arc over many seasons (which ended horribly but we won’t go there). Todd also guest starred in DS9 (sans Klingon makeup) as an older Jake Sisko

    Also he has a voice like deepest smoothest melted chocolate. 

    Tony was a guest at Shore Leave, a fan-run mostly-Trek convention I attended many years ago in Towson. He was a great panelist, funny and honest.

    Now, Klingon cosplayers are always a big deal at Trek conventions. They do not fuck around. Their outfits could walk right onto a set and be filmed. Shore Leave always featured a whole contingent of Klingons. They’d run a Klingon Jail – you could pay to have your buddy kidnapped by Klingons and put in jail, and they’d have to raise money to make bail, and then all the proceeds went to charity.

    Most Klingon cosplayers I knew weren’t that into Worf. He was just too…Starfleet. So when Kurn came along (and before Martok, the ultimate Klingon character of Trek), he was sort of the standard-bearer. He had been raised Klingon (unlike Worf, who was raised by humans) and was the very image of an honorable Klingon warrior. So you can imagine the excitement when Todd was a guest.

    After the panel, we all left the hall, and there in the lobby was a big group of Klingons, standing in formation, in all their costumed glory, waiting to greet Tony. We all stood around to see.

    He walked out and saw them. He didn’t greet them. He didn’t smile. He didn’t say hi.

    No. Without missing a beat, he strutted up to them, and started…dressing them down.

    Suddenly, he WAS Kurn. No makeup, but it was like Kurn was there. Walking up and down the ranks, calling them maggots, criticizing their attention, their bearing. Asking why none of them had bruises. Were they not fighting? Was their bat’leth practice falling behind? Where was the blood? And WHY WAS NOBODY DRUNK. He really tore into them, a little twinkle in his eyes.

    The Klingons stood there, responding with SIR YES SIR when he addressed them, quivering with joy.

    It was so awesome.

    This is everything.

    The most progressive tastemaker in the fashion world just might be 17-year-old  Jaden Smith. Smith’s latest gig is the cover of GQ UK, and in the cover story he drops yet more wisdom on the gender fluidity that is becoming our norm.

    it’s 15 days into march how last minute do you think this was 

    Gotta be honest I genuinely think it took staff 15 days to figure out how to code it

    my theory is they waited until now so it would look like waiting two weeks to put up a black history month thing last month was on purpose

    It’s very simple, clearly tumblr runs in its own timezone, just two weeks behind ours.

    Singularities do not work that way, do not do not do not. not even if you add ‘quantum’ to the end.

    Fun to watch though :).

    I think you’ll find that if you change it to “super hyper quantum singularity (with nuts)” then it works fine.
