Washington Woman Slits Throat Of 3 Young Kids To Quiet Them.Read More

 

Six-month old Emilio Capone gets a vaccination at the clinic of paediatrician Thomas Fischbach in the western town of Solingen September 4, 2012. 

Mums irritated by noisy kids either shout at them, spank them or make the noisemakers stand in a corner. Not 29-year-old Christina Booth of Olympia, Washington, who has a different but bloody way of making her children tone done – she slits their throats.

Booth was arrested on Sunday for investigation of attempted murder after she stabbed her three small children so they would be silent when her husband, Thomas, a soldier, comes home, Thurston County Deputy Prosecutor Craig Juris said on Monday.

Thomas is assigned at the 1st Special Forces Group at the Joint Base Lewis-McChord.

The crying tykes were aged 2 and a set of twins who were only 6 months old, reports the Charlotte Observer. The children are now in stable condition after undergoing surgery at a hospital and has been placed under custody of Washington’s Child Protection Services.

The throat-slitting could be because Christina was drunk on Saturday night after she and Thomas had two large glasses of wine each after they watched a movie at home. He said proof of her intoxication was her speech was slurred.

Thomas added that Christina was suffering from post-partum depression, while she told detectives that she was having a tough time caring for the children since Thomas never helps her and is even annoyed when the kids cry and make noise.

Court documents said that Christina hit her breaking point when the twins started to cry after she took them to bed. She got a knife from the dishwasher and cut the throat first of her 2-year-old daughter and covered her with a blanket. She proceeded to slit the throats of the twins.

According to Olympia Police Lt. Jim Costa, 911 got a call at 1:17 a.m. on Sunday from a crying woman that her kids were wailing and wouldn’t stop, probably because they need a doctor.

After a minute, a man said the kids were bleeding from the neck and needed an ambulance.

Although no formal charges has been filed against Booth, the court set bail at $3 million. Thomas is not a suspect.

Despite Bullet In Head, Daughter Calls 911 To Report Family Massacre By Father In Queens.US

  

A display of 7-round .45 caliber handguns are seen at Coliseum Gun Traders Ltd. in Uniondale, New York January 16, 2013. President Barack Obama proposed a new assault weapons ban and mandatory background checks for all gun buyers on Wednesday as he tried to channel national outrage over the Newtown school massacre into the biggest U.S. gun-control push in decades   

Despite a gunshot wound in the head inflicted by her father, a 12-year-old girl in Queens, New York, called 911 on Saturday morning and sought help. Besides the girl, Jonathan Walker, 34, also shot his girlfriend, the mum of his girlfriend and a younger daughter for unknown reason.

When the police arrived, the brave 12-year-old opened the door for the cops and talked to them for 15 minutes even if she had a head wound. The bullet exited through her eyes, reports the New York Post.

The police rushed her to the Long Island Jewish Medical Center in New Hyde Park where she remains in critical condition.

Walker, weighed 260 pounds and stood at 6 feet and 6 inches, was a nightclub bouncer. He reportedly went from room to room and shot Kayla Walker, 7; Shantai Hale, 31; and Viola Warren, 62.  The three are his daughter, wife and mother-in-law, respectively; all sustained head wounds and declared dead at the scene of the crime.

A neighbour said the Walkers were a “nice, happy family.” Jonathan was even seen smiling outside their home on Friday. The family had been seen taking walks, dining and driving around the neighbourhood. That night, Walker told a friend that he was watching a movie in Netflix with his family and having some beer.

NYPD Chief of Detectives Robert Boyce said the Walkers had little evidence of discord, except for two minor domestic incidents in 2005 and 2006.

Wendell Warren, the brother of Viola, said the Walkers were supposed to spend time with relatives on Friday night.

Walker arrived home at 5:38 a.m. By 5:45 a.m., the elder daughter called 911 to report the shooting.

Also living in the same house was Jennifer Warren, the sister of Viola, who stays on the ground floor and didn’t hear the gunshots because of a hearing problem. “It’s a good thing she didn’t hear the shots because she would have come running upstairs and I would’ve missed another sister. That saved her,” Warren told the New York Post.

Walker’s dead body was found inside his car, a silver 2013 GMC Acadia. He committed suicide using the same .45 caliber gun that took the life of three of his loved ones. The vehicle was parked in an area near the John F. Kennedy Airport.

Warren said that while Walker drinks, he didn’t have a drinking problem. “There was no indication of anything that could make him remotely do this, none whatsoever. It just came out of nowhere,” he adds.

68 New York Women Compete For Biggest Butt!! Title Of ‘Best Behind’

It is an irony of sorts that a contest to find the New York woman with the biggest buttocks would be used as a model for a cosmetic surgeon, while contest rules specify the contestants’ behind must be all-natural, no surgically enhanced ones allowed.

The organiser of the contest is celebrity cosmetic surgeon Dr Michael Jones, who owns Lexington Plastic Surgeons.

Besides the modeling contract at Drift Studio, the winner will receive $2,000 cash prize.

The New York Post reports that 68 women signed up. The contestants included Washington Heights model and dancer Brenda Monks, personal trainer Chelsea Simone and pre-school teacher from Queens Tammy Chrisphonte.

At the Saturday casting call, the aspirants for the title were asked why their behinds are their source of pride.

Twenty-year-old Darby Puckett from Virginia attributes her voluptuous backside to gymnastics and eating chicken biscuits from Hardee as well as the southern diet that gave her enough body fat in her booty.

At the end of the day, the finalists were whittled to 13 who would be crowned by the end of January.

The female reality star whose butt shot was the cover of Paper Magazine in November, which broke the Internet, didn’t join the contest.

Many females would consider the contestants lucky women for being blessed by nature with curvaceous derriere. For those lacking in that area, one alternative is the butt-enhancement procedure which would cost them $10,000 when done by a licenced cosmetic surgeon.

Despite the cost, buttock enhancement procedures in the US went up 58 percent in 2014, while 63,000 butt augmentation procedures were performed in Brazil in 2013, five times the number done in the US.

ISIS To Obama: 'We Will Cut Off Your Head In The White House'

ISIS militants have threatened to behead Obama in the White House in a video released on Jan. 26. 

The video shows ISIS militants standing in the streets of Mosul, Iraq's second largest city, following an artillery barrage on the city by Kurdish Peshmerga forces. In front of the militants is seated a Kurdish soldier who is executed at the end of the video. 

Prior to the Kurdish soldiers execution, the ISIS executioner delivered a message in Kurdish which was subtitled into Arabic in the video. 

"Know, oh Obama, that we will reach America. Know also that we will cut off your head in the White House and transform America into a Muslim province," the militant says  a ccording to a  translation by the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI).

The militant then continues his threat against other Western nations, saying "And this is my message to France and its sister, Belgium. We advise you that we will come to you with car bombs and explosive charges and we will cut off your heads."

The video appeared to be a response by ISIS against a multitude of setbacks it has faced in the past week. On Jan. 26, ISIS fighters withdrew from the Syrian-Kurdish city of Kobani after a failed four-month siege in which the militant group lost as many as 1,500 fighters. 

Simultaneously, the Kurdish Peshmerga forces have started conducting operations aimed at dislodging ISIS from Mosul, the crown-jewel of ISIS' reign in Iraq. Kurdish forces have launched rockets into Mosul in an attempt to target ISIS militants while US forces have regularly conducted airstrikes in the region outside the city. 

In retaliation for the strikes, the ISIS militants ended their video by executing the Kurdish soldier. 

The militants also included a warning for Kurdistan President Barzani: " This is one of your soldiers' fate, and every time you launch a missile, we will send you back the head of one of your soldiers."

Ex-militants Dokubo Asari threat National Security Again...Read More

Dokubo-Asari 

TAKING impunity to a new level, some ex-Niger Delta militants, joined by some intemperate public officials, gathered in Yenagoa, the Bayelsa State capital, last week to declare war against Nigeria in advance, should President Goodluck Jonathan lose next month’s presidential election. While disdain for law and order is not totally unexpected from pardoned ex-insurgents, the participation of Governor Seriake Dickson and a presidential adviser, Kingsley Kuku, in that provocative conclave is doubly unacceptable and should warrant a response from the government.

The bravado was shocking. According to news reports, the ex-militants, featuring some ex-warlords, vowed to take up arms against the country if Jonathan lost the February 14 presidential election. They also threatened reprisals for attacks on the President’s campaign team and vehicles in some northern states. Asari Dokubo, who has repeatedly trodden this path, urged attendees to get ready for war: “This action is calling the Niger Delta youths to war.”

Like him, others, including Government Ekpemupolo, aka Tompolo, and Victor Ebikabowei, aka Boy Loaf, vowed to disrupt oil production. “If they take the power away from Jonathan, we will take our oil,” declared Ebikabowei. If the threats of persons who once violently resorted to self-help were disturbing, the benevolent presence of Dickson and Kuku was alarming.

Rather than moderate the extremism on display, Dickson, playing the amiable host, reportedly thanked the speakers for “backing the re-election of President Jonathan with greater vigour” and promised to relate their position to him. On his part, Kuku, the President’s Special Adviser on Niger Delta Affairs and Chairman of the Amnesty Implementation Committee, reportedly read the resolutions of the meeting, reiterating that the region’s youths would not take attacks on the President’s campaign entourage lightly.

If these reports are a true reflection of what transpired, Dickson’s and Kuku’s actions were simply treasonable. They have desecrated the high offices they occupy. Dickson imprudently provided the hallowed chambers of the Government House, Yenagoa, for the infamous meeting and lent the imprimatur of his exalted office to threats against the country and the 1999 Constitution that he solemnly swore to uphold.

Most offensive is the complete disregard for law and the electoral process. The militants did not hinge their angst on any universally acceptable present or future injustice to their preferred choice for president. Rather, they demonstrated utter disregard for the electoral process, vowing to declare war and disrupt oil production even if Jonathan lost in a free and fair contest.

This arrogance is insufferable and the rest of Nigeria should be concerned. First, leaders, elders, traditional authorities and even the youths of Ijawland, on whose behalf the incendiary threats were purportedly made, should come out to disclaim the preposterous provocation. It is an ill-wind that benefits no one, certainly not the 14 million population claimed by the Ijaw Foundation.

Jonathan should not play the ostrich on this one. The threat is too weighty to be ignored, especially with the presence of his aide, Kuku, at the meeting. He should not forget this statement that “nobody’s political ambition is worth the blood of any Nigerian.” Nigerians have risen as one against mindless, unprovoked violence or threats by any group. When misguided youths rampaged in some northern states after the 2011 presidential election, they received national and worldwide condemnation. His silence can only be interpreted as tacit agreement. Did he send Kuku to the meeting or was the adviser there in his personal capacity? No presidential adviser or state governor ought to be associated with such threats.

The central pillars of democracy are the rule of law and regular free and fair elections. Jonathan won one in 2011; he can remain in office for another four years only through another electoral victory. You neither go to war when your candidate loses an election nor declare war ahead of it.

The misguided militants forget that the votes of the Ijaw militants alone cannot secure election and Nigeria is a single constituency for an aspirant to the presidency. Jonathan won handily across the country in 2011. He fortuitously ascended the presidency, first, as Acting President, not by the actions of his kinsmen, who also played no role whatsoever in his nomination to the vice-presidency in 2007.

It is tragic that ex-militants, once accused of kidnapping, sabotage of oil facilities and killing of soldiers and policemen but were granted amnesty by the late President Umaru Yar’Adua, are once again threatening violence on the basis of a divine right to the Presidency. A media report published in February 2014 estimated that at least N260 billion was spent on ex-Niger Delta militants between 2009 and 2013 through amnesty payments and lucrative pipeline protection deals, while N35.8 billion was voted for ex-militants in 2014. Ekpemupolo’s company has been awarded a controversial multimillion dollar coastal protection contract just as Asari Dokubo, Ebikabowei and others also have been given contracts.

Thousands have received scholarships and monthly payouts.

Two years ago, Kuku had, during a visit to the United States, similarly threatened war if Jonathan was not returned to office in 2015. Asari Dokubo has been making the same threat for years with no response from the President. Nigerians can no longer accept silence from their President, whose then political adviser, Ahmed Gulak, reacting to yet another threat of violence from Asari Dokubo in 2013, said the ex-militant was merely expressing his own opinion.

The militants make no pretence to being well-armed. In any case, their security contracts enable them to legally procure sophisticated weapons, funded by the taxpayer, and immense wealth to buy more outside official channels.

The inaction of the Department of State Service and the police is baffling, but may not be unconnected with their reading of the president’s body language. Jonathan should not allow his ambition and supporters to plunge Nigeria into a blood-soaked crisis. The security agencies should shun partisanship and do their duty to the state by taking counter-measures against any violent threats to the country.

War threat: Danjuma calls for Dokubo, Tompolo’s arrest

A former Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Theophilus Danjuma (retd.), has called for the arrest of an ex-Niger Delta militants, including Mujahideen   Dokubo-Asari and Government Ekpudomenowei(akaTompolo)   for   threatening to declare war against the nation if President Goodluck loses the February 14 election.

Danjuma, who described the threat as “unguarded and reckless,” warned that “miscreants” must not be allowed to hold the country by the jugular.

Dokubo-Asari, had at a meeting on Friday at the Bayelsa State Government House, Yenagoa, urged an end to what he termed, the intimidation of the Ijaw by other Nigerians.

“For every Goliath, God created a David. For every Pharaoh, there is a Moses. We are going to war. Every one of you should go and fortify yourself,” he said.

At the meeting were Governor Seriake Dickson, Ekpudomenowei, Victor Ebikabowei (aka Boy Loaf), the   Special Adviser to the President on Niger Delta Affairs, Kingsley Kuku and the   President General, the Ijaw Youth Council, Udengs Eradiri.

Boyloaf also said at the meeting that if the North succeeded in regaining power on February 14,   the people of the Niger Delta would take their oil back.

However, Danjuma while inaugurating the Kwankwasiyya City alongside   Kano State Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso, on Wednesday wondered why Dokubo-Asari and Ebikabowei were heating up the polity.

He reminded them that since Nigeria and its resources belonged to everyone,   no one   must hold the government to ransom.

The former Defence minister, therefore, urged the necessary government agencies to immediately arrest the ex-militants.

“You should arrest Asari Dokubo, Tompolo, Boyloaf and other Niger Delta militants for making reckless statements, which in any way does not mean keeping Nigeria as one entity. They   create a war situation.

“Those were reckless statements coming from irresponsible individuals; they should be condemned and   arrested immediately,” he said.

In a situation like this, the issue of entrenching peace in the country is what is needed most. We should not allow some miscreants to hold us to ransom,” he said.

Danjuma, who served as a Defence minister during the Olusegun Obasanjo administration, added,   “Nigeria belongs to everybody and we must do everything possible to safeguard her unity.”

He also asked politicians to stop making utterances capable of overheating the polity.

The former minister said, “As we are approaching election time, we must strive to ensure that important issues are thoroughly discussed but not personalities. We want to have a perfect election where no one would have an axe to grind with anybody.

“Once   politicians base their campaigns on issues not personalities and avoid anything capable of causing disaffection, I am confident that we would have foul-free elections.”

He commended Kwankwaso for providing physical infrastructure in the last four years and described the Kwankwasiyya City as one of the modern edifices in the current democratic dispensation.

Nigerians arrested on gay wedding says "It was my birthday party''

                      

"It was my birthday party, not a gay wedding," 18-year-old Faruk Maiduguri, told reporters at the Hisbah offices that he and his friends were only celebrating his birthday.

The Islamic law-enforcement agency, the Hisbah, said on Tuesday

"We have 12 men in custody, including the bride. We arrested them at the venue of a planned gay wedding," Daurawa told AFP.

"We got information of the wedding four days earlier and our men stormed the venue while the wedding was about to start."

Many guests escaped during the raid, he added.

Daurawa said the suspects, who came from Kano, Maiduguri, Kaduna, Bauchi,  Ibadan and Osogbo  "looked and acted feminine", which prompted their arrest.

Some of them were discharged while others were released on bail.

Nigeria's Same Sex Marriage (Prohibition) Act carries penalties of up to 14 years in jail for anyone confirmed to be in a gay union.

Lil Wayne Fighting BirdMan And sues Cash Money for $51 Million

It's not news that former best friends and business partners Lil Wayne and Birdman have fallen out over money, record deals, and artists under their label. What's new now is that the rapper is suing Cash Money for $51million with the hopes of ending his contract with the label.

According to TMZ, Lil Wayne filed a lawsuit asking a judge to end his contract with Cash Money. According to the lawsuit, Wayne says Birdman and company violated the deal by withholding tens of millions of dollars Cash Money owes him for his long-delayed album, "Tha Carter V." 

From TMZ

Wayne claims because Cash Money is refusing to pay, he's entitled to walk. But Lil Wayne wants more than just a declaration of freedom. He's suing for $51 MILLION. 

And Wayne wants the judge to declare he's the joint copyright owner of all Young Money recordings ... which includes Drake, Nicki Minaj and several others.

Sources connected to Wayne tell TMZ ... if Birdman antes up then he can release "Tha Carter V," but only if Wayne gets paid. Wayne says he was supposed to get an $8 million advance when he began recording in December, 2013 and another 2M when he completed the album a year later, but so far he's gotten nothing.

Update: Lil Wayne to Birdman - I'm willing to stay if the price is right

Lil Wayne will stay with Cash Money and Birdman IF they ante up the money he's owed ... in fact, we're told if Cash Money antes up, Wayne has no choice but to stay.

Sources involved in the case tell TMZ ... Wayne feels Birdman's decision to avoid paying him is nothing more than a power play. TMZ broke the story that Wayne is suing, and a central claim is that Birdman has consistently stiffed him over the last year.

There are 2 payments that have irked Wayne -- he says he was owed $8 million when he went into the studio to record "Tha Carter V" in December 2013, and another $2 mil when he completed the album last month.

We're told the hope is that Universal -- which distributes Cash Money records -- will step in and earmark the $10 mil for Wayne. And we're told Universal is already putting pressure on Cash Money to settle.

If Cash Money pays Wayne the $10 mil, it would essentially eliminate any breach of contract. That means Wayne would have no legal basis to ask out of the contract. Even though Wayne's suing for $51 million, most of that is predicated on future lost profits which would not be an issue if they settle.

As for the release of "Tha Carter V" ... even if the case settles the power would be in Birdman's claws.
