DEAF TEENS SAY THEY WERE HARASSED BY POLICE; PERSONALLY I DON'T THINK SO

Six teens were on the way to a community basketball game in Belleville, New Jersey when the old-school Chevy they were riding in was stopped by an unmarked police car. The driver got out to get his license from the trunk. The officer grabbed the driver and slammed him onto the passenger side of the car. That's when 17-year-old Dominique Issac - the only one who wasn't deaf - told the officer that the driver was deaf.

Soon, six police cars had blocked them in. The rest of the passengers were pointing to their ears signaling to them the they also were deaf. The boys were embarrassed as onlookers stared and shook their heads while they were being searched.

Here's the video to the story:

I'm not taking any sides, but from the officers' point of view, there are six teens in an old-school Chevy. These cars are already associated with drug activity. There's no getting past that. When they got pulled over, the driver gets out without permission to go to the trunk. Deaf or not, you do NOT get out of the car to go to the trunk. That's common sense. If he can't understand that, then he should not be driving. Besides, I didn't even know that deaf people were allowed to drive.

After the officer was informed of the disability of the driver, there was no further report of physical contact from the police. With that said, was this harassment or were the officers doing their job?

WOMAN CUTS OFF 2-YEAR-OLD SON'S HEAD, FREEZES IT, COMMITS SUICIDE

I nearly lost my breakfast when I read about Chevonne Thomas, a woman from New Jersey who decapitated her son, Zahree before killing herself. Clearly, she was mentally unstable when she called 911 Wednesday morning just after midnight.

First, she sounded like she had some sense as told the male operator that her baby had been stabbed by her boyfriend. She then retracted her statement, saying that she did it. After that, she started repeating things and mumbling to herself. She again told the operator that her boyfriend stabbed the child, but again, she said that she did it. After a while, a female operator got on the line and asked her age and if she took medication. Thomas admitted to taking Prozac, and that she should have taken it earlier.

Take a moment out of your busy schedule, and listen to this confusing 911 call...



When police and EMTs arrived on the scene, they entered the house through a second-story window. I'm not sure why they didn't break the front door down, but I'm sure they had a reason. Once inside, they found Thomas' lifeless body, where it appeared that she had stabbed herself in the neck. On the first floor, police found a headless Zahree, his head inside the freezer.

It's worth noting that two years ago, newborn Zahree was taken away from Thomas by the Department of Children and Families for child endangerment when she left him in a car unattended. At the time Thomas confessed to smoking a marijuana joint laced with PCP, and blacking out in a park.

While her child was in the custody of relatives, Thomas received court-ordered mental and substance abuse treatment. Then in October '11, the charges were dropped due to a problem with the witness. Lack of evidence that she left her baby in a car unattended. The thing that she was arrested for.

Thomas was able to regain custody of the 2-year-old this past April. And due to this major development, she endangered Zahree until he couldn't be endangered anymore. Because she killed him. In the worst possible way.

FACEBOOK DISPUTE LEADS TO SHOOTING AT TEEN BIRTHDAY PARTY

Yeah, I could do this all day, everyday.  I could talk about the shootings, stabbings and fist-fights associated with Facebook.  Yeah, Facebook would be my tot-mom, and I would be as Nancy Grace is toward those tot-moms.

To be honest with you, I know it's not Facebook's fault.  They're a business.  I'm mad at people's need for attention.  I'm mad at everyone's desire to be a star, and the fact that people will do anything for a little stardom.  America is definitely like the old Roman empire in so many ways, and...well, that's another topic for another day.

I was reading a story out of New Jersey about two groups of high school kids from two neighboring (rival) towns that got into a heated dispute on a Facebook page dedicated to the beefing (rivalry) of the two towns.  Did you get that?  On a Facebook page called Franklin vs. Plainfield, verbal shots are fired constantly between the younger residents of the towns.  Those shots manifested at a birthday party for a 15-year old in Franklin.  An altercation broke out between groups representing the two towns, and the Plainfield group was kicked out of the party.  Angry about his people having to leave, Alex Ortega the DJ (18)...who is from Plainfield, fired shots that struck two people.  After one of the people, Ashani Wilks of Franklin was shot, the exiting Plainfield group threw chairs, branches and bottles at his body according to witnesses.

OK...let me get this straight: Two rival towns, cool.  I get the whole next door neighbor deal.  A Facebook page dedicated to the rivalry.  I can see it,  I've seen worse.  What loses me is the DJ shooting at this little girl's birthday party.  Does your loyalty to your town run that deep that you would shoot up a kiddie party you were hired to play for?

Anyway, here's the link to the story:
