I KNEW IT! POLICE SAY SHARMEKA MOFFITT SET HERSELF ON FIRE

Why do you think our tagline is "social commentary off meds"? Have you wondered that? It's because our views on certain issues are so out there, we must be off our meds. There's a method to our madness though, and dammit you witnessed it yesterday when I said that if the KKK set Sharmeka Moffitt on fire, I'd be surprised.

In case you live under a rock, Sharmeka Moffitt is the Louisiana woman who said that three hooded men doused her with a flammable liquid and set her on fire Sunday night in a park as she walked on a paved trail. The 20-year-old also said that they wrote a racial slur on her car along with the initials, "KKK". The story goes on to say that she was able to put herself out with a water spigot that was conveniently nearby before calling her sister and 911.

While everyone was outraged at the Klan for doing this horrible act, Nena Grace and I put our "Black cards" on the line and called bullshit, poppycock and shenanigans. We saw right through her story.

I asked some very straightforward questions about the situation. Questions that apparently no one else thought about since it was pretty etched in stone that the KKK did what she say they did:

1. Why were you at a park after dark anywhere in Louisiana alone? You live in Louisiana. You know better.

2. Three men set you on fire. You say you couldn't tell their race yet they wore white hoods. Why did you need to specify that you didn't know their race is they wore white hoods? What did they say to you? Did they do this in silence?

3. They wrote on your car. How did they know it belonged to you? You were on the trail.

I got a commenter who helped me out with 2 more questions:

4. You were able to call 911. Why wasn't your phone damaged from the fire or the water you say you used to put yourself out.

5. How did the Klan conveniently not set your face on fire? You were burned from the neck down.

After investigating the scene, police say they found a lighter and lighter fluid with Moffitt's fingerprints on them. That was proof enough for them to determine that she was not attacked by KKK members, and that the injuries were indeed self-inflicted. They also determined that Moffitt used toothpaste to smear the message and the KKK initials on her car.

She's in critical condition with over 60% of her body burned, and when she gets better, she'll probably be facing charges for lying on the Klan.

All I can think about is her poor mother who got on television pleading for justice against her aggressors. She's the real loser in this whole ordeal. The embarrassment she must feel. Now she has to see about getting mental help for her daughter, the one who set herself afire and blamed the KKK.

IF THE KKK BURNED SHARMEKA MOFFITT UP, I'D BE SURPRISED

I've been thinking about the story of Sharmeka Moffitt, the Louisiana woman who was set afire in a park. As the story goes, Moffitt was at a park on Sunday night in Winnsboro when she was doused with a flammable liquid and set on fire by three men who wore white hoods. They wrote a racial slur and the letters "KKK" on the hood of her car, symbolizing the group that was behind the act of violence.

She was burned over 60% over her body and that was only because she was able to put herself out with a water spigot that was nearby.

I know that it's easy to blame the Klan for crimes against Black people. It's no secret that they don't like us, and saying that the Klan is behind a hate crime garners a lot of sympathy.

I remember the Black man in Florida who went as far as setting up a cross in his yard and torching it just to save his marriage with his White wife. He blamed the Klan, it was believable. But he messed up, and it came to light.

That brings me to my questions.  

Knowing that the KKK presence is prevalent in Louisiana, why would you go to a park at night alone to walk on a paved trail? I know that here in Alabama, you don't go to parks or any secluded areas at night alone. You just don't do it.

You say that three men did this to you. What did they say before setting you afire? Did they silently do this? Did they say something like, "hey n*****, whatcha doing out here by yourself"? or "hey n*****, where's your pimp?" You know what I mean? What did they say?

They wrote "KKK" and "racial slurs' on the hood of your car, which wasn't near where you were if you were on a paved trail. How did they know that it was your car?

You say that that you couldn't tell their race because of the hoods and the darkness. Maybe if they said something, you could get a better idea of what kind of people did this.

I'm not saying that this didn't happen. Obviously the woman is burned and in critical condition. I'm not saying that she set herself on fire either. I'm saying that it doesn't seem like that Klan was behind this. I hate to say that it was someone she knew, but things doesn't add up to me. Like it was staged to make it seem like the Klan did it or something.

My heart goes out to Moffitt and her family, and I hope they catch those who did it. I'm waiting on more details, but if it indeed was the Klan who was behind this, I would be surprised.

AFFIRMATIVE REACTION: DO BLACK PEOPLE HAVE THE RIGHT TO BE MAD AT WHITES-ONLY EVENTS?

St. Martinville High School's class of 1973 has been getting together for 40 years, and for 40 years, their reunions have been segregated. When the organizers for this year's event got together, they originally planned on it being segregated again.

This year however, they wanted to change that. They decided to have a normal reunion with everyone together. But when since prematurely leaked the old plans that had an after-party event for September 21 being for white graduates only, it has gotten quite a bit of attention.

Principal Michael Kreamer got calls almost immediately:

"I'm just a little disappointed that something like this comes up. I don't think that it looks good for the school, but again as I said it has nothing to do with St. Martinville Senior High. So I hope people don't take that the wrong way."

Even though it isn't happening the way it was advertised, some people are still looking for an opportunity to play "angry black person". I think the alumni should be allowed to party the way they choose to. It wasn't a problem in the past, and this would not been an issue if we were talking about black people having a separate event somewhere. From HBCUs to the UNCF to BET, there are plenty of "blacks-only" things going on, and no one seems to think it's a problem. I understand that once upon a time blacks weren't included in things of that nature, but now we are.

What say you?

BATH SALTS MAN BINGS 77-YEAR-OLD WOMAN ACROSS THE HEAD WITH SHOVEL FOR SCOLDING HIM

Glendale, CA. police were called to investigate an attack on a woman Thursday afternoon. It all began when 20-year-old Robert White was outside swinging a shovel at some birds he apparently didn't want around him. His elderly neighbor who was watching from nearby scolded him, telling him to stop. Little did she know, White had just drank a soda laced with bath salts, and he didn't take the words of advice too kindly.

According to another neighbor, White said to the 77-year-old, "I hate you, and I want to kill you today". He then went over to the woman and binged her with the shovel across her head, knocking her down.

For the record, no he DID NOT go to the internet and put her name in the Bing search bar while holding a shovel near her head. I mean he literally took the shovel and BINGED her across the head.

He ran to his apartment and hid out for about an hour until police entered with a key. The belligerent White shouted, cursed, broke glass, and eventually had to be subdued with rubber bullets and a taser.

While strapped down and being wheeled away, White told onlookers that he "was an alien", that because of his alien status he could "talk to Jesus", and that God loves them all.

This is just another chapter in the Bath Salts saga. Earlier this year, we wrote about the man from Maryland who killed his roommate, ate his heart and brain. There was the Louisiana man who attacked his elderly aunt, bit his ex-wife's husband's face off, and robbed his friend. The naked New York mom who punched and choked her 3-year-old in the parking lot of their apartment complex and died from being tasered. And we can't forget the infamous Miami naked zombie face-eater, who had to be shot 6 times and killed before he stopped eating his victim.

LOUISIANA MAN ATTACKS AUNT, BITES CHUNK OF EX-WIFE'S HUSBAND'S FACE OFF AND ROBS FRIEND IN DAY OF VIOLENCE

43-year-old Carl Jacquneaux reminds me of a dog that's been chained up for a long time, and finally broke free. Last Saturday morning, he went to his elderly Aunt's house in Carencro yelling, threatening, and pushing her to the floor. Before police could arrive, Jacquneaux fled the scene. The Aunt told local station KATC that he acted like he was on drugs.

Several hours later, Jacquneaux went to pay his ex-wife's husband, Todd Credeur a little visit.

According to KATC, Credeur was doing some work in his yard when Jacquneaux attacked and repeatedly bit him, taking a piece of his face in the process. (I will not show the picture, but it's out there) Credeur managed to use the wasp spray he had to get Jacquneaux off him.

About an hour later, Jacqueneaux showed up at a friend's apartment with a bloody knife, forced his way in and demanded a gun that was known to be inside. After Jacquneaux took the gun and left, the friend called the police, and Jacquneaux was eventually taken into custody.

He faces charges of simple battery for the Aunt, aggravated and 2nd degree battery for the face, and aggravated burglary for the gun he stole from his friend. There's also violation of parole, restraining order and a couple of outstanding warrants for his arrest.

Although an anonymous friend told police that Bath Salts was the cause of it all, police say that information is "beyond their scope".

If Bath Salts were the reason for the zombie attack, know this: bullets don't work, but wasp spray does.

MAN ARRESTED FOR THROWING 3-MONTH OLD BABY AGAINST WALL AND BEATING HIM

Tyler Jonathan Eastgate of Kenner, LA. was arrested for throwing his 3-month son against a wall, assaulting the baby then throwing him into his crib. Eastgate who is 22, said he did it because the baby wouldn't stop crying. When he kept crying, he punched the baby in the face and slammed him into the crib causing him to hit his head again.

Doctors found multiple injuries including bleeding on the brain, bruises to his cheek, a couple of head fractures, bruises to his chin and chest along with scratches and bruises to his neck.

At first, Eastgate told doctors that he went into his son's room and found him to be having trouble breathing and losing consciousness.  He confessed shortly after.

Of all the things he did to his son, he will only be charged with second degree cruelty to a juvenile. No bond is set yet, but with a charge like second degree anything other than attempted murder, Eastgate shouldn't suffer too much.

ANTI-GAY PASTOR CAUGHT DOING THE FIVE KNUCKLE SHUFFLE AT PUBLIC PARK

Talk about being hypocritical...
Grant Storms, an anti-gay pastor in New Orleans who once called masturbation "immoral", was recently arrested for committing that very same "immoral" act at a public park.
Storms, who is known for using a bullhorn to protest an annual gay festival in Louisiana, was arrested last Friday after two women saw him masturbating in his van.

One of the women who parked next to him was taking her children out of her car when she noticed Storms seated behind the wheel with his zipper down. She then told another woman at the park who then approached Storms' van to see for herself. Storms allegedly tried to cover himself when he noticed her looking.
The women reported the pastor to a park officer who detained him until police arrived.

Storms initially denied the allegations but later admitted to masturbating. Although there were children in the park, police don't believe it was related to the pastor's actions.

Oh, really now?

Storms has admitted to having an addiction to pornography and says that he had viewed some prior to the incident.

Was it child pornography Mr. Storms? Were you so turned on by it that you had to go to the park for the real thing to get your rocks off? Do you hate gay people so much because you personally prefer little children?


Here's Storms' so-called apology and explanation...







Personally, Mr. Stone, I think you're just another preacher pedophile and I feel no sympathy for you. Sounds to me like you need to come to grips with who you really are.

I'm just saying...



Deuces, Smooches...
