MINNESOTA KIDS CAUGHT PLAYING NEW VERSION Of FREEZE TAG Called RAPE TAG!!!

2012-02-11T02:32:00.002-05:00

Picture YOUR kids playing the schoolyard game of FREEZE TAG, then; picture them playing a more updated version of Freeze Tag called RAPE TAG!!!

WASHINGTON ELEMENTARY SCHOOL in NEW ULM, MN, is at the center of controversy after learning some Fifth Graders were playing a game they called RAPE TAG.

The game is very similar to FREEZE TAG, except to unfreeze someone, the kid would have to simulate a sex act on the frozen kid.

A parent reported the incident to the school’s staff after seeing their child was talking about the game on Facebook.

The school said it took immediate action, talking to teachers who later discussed it with their students.

The DAILY MAIL reports WASHINGTON ELEMENTARY SCHOOL Principal BILL SPRUNG told KEYC-TV:

‘This age level of kids – 10, 11, 12—is a time when kids start to mature; start to experiment. He added: ‘Part of that experimentation is that they do things we wish they wouldn’t have done.’

Principal SPRUNG told the station that he quickly alerted teachers, who spoke to their classes about the game.

It appeared to stop there... NOT!!!

Rumors about the game continued to appear on FACEBOOK.

Principal SPRUNG sent a letter home to parents via students JANUARY 30, 2012.

The letter read:

‘On January 10th, a 5th grade parent informed me that 5th grade students were playing a game called “rape tag”.

'The parent described rape tag as similar to freeze tag except that a person had to be humped to be unfrozen. After discussions with their classes, 5th grade teachers had reported that mainly students in two classrooms had played the game.'

'They and noon duty supervisors have not reported any more incidents of the game'.

RAPE??? TAG!!! RAPE TAG?!?!?

What's next; is HIDE And GO SEEK gonna become KIDNAP, RAPE, TORTURE, KILL???

SMH!!!

THE NAKED OPTION: A LAST RESORT!!!

2012-02-10T05:18:00.001-05:00

THE NAKED OPTION: A LAST RESORT celebrates the Perserverance and Power of an organized group of AFRICAN WOMEN!!!

Producer CANDACE SCHERMERHORN allows the story to tell itself of a grasstoots movement of women fueled by the determination for a better future.

Mothers, Daughters, and Grandmothers - all of them Sisters in the Struggle, and all of them living in the NIGER DELTA of the country of NIGERIA; use the threat of stripping naked in public, a serious cultural taboo, in their deadly struggle to hold the oil companies accountable to the communities in which they operate.

The women, at the risk of being RAPED, BEATEN, or KILLED, are trained and armed, but not with anything you can see.

Through the leadership of the courageous, charismatic, and inexhaustible EMEM J. OKON, these women are taking over where men have failed, peacefully transforming their ‘Naked Power’ into 21st century political action and mobilization.

“Our weapon is our nakedness.”

THE NAKED OPTION reveals the strength, the power, and the drive of the women to fight ENVIORNMENTAL RUIN, LOSS Of LIVELIHOOD, BRUTALITY, and CORRUPTION perpetrated by these corporate giants of CHEVRON and SHELL through the personal stories of MAMA BATA, ARET OBOBO, and LUCKY OGODO - residents of UGBORODO and AMUKPE, communities where oil giants CHEVRON and SHELL OIL Companies.

Living in the only militarized zone in Nigeria and cemented firmly on the bottom rung of an already impoverished social and economic ladder, these women constantly struggle to maintain healthy, equitable, and self-sustaining livelihoods. We witness the hurdles that drive them to risk their lives taking over major oil-producing flow stations.

MAMA BATA, 70-year-old resident of UGBORODO says;

“We are the women who decided to take over the Chevron yard.”

LUCKY OGODO of AMUKPE declares;

“We’ll go naked. We’ll do our naked. Shell wants us to suffer and we’re not taking it. Fear will come.”

THE NAKED OPTION chronicles how a movement can grow from a group of strong women pushed to the wall. They are fed up with the oil giants dismissing their demands to clean up the environmental destruction and to provide jobs for their husbands.

With nothing to lose they decided to risk everything and fight back using the lessons taught by their female ancestors. Stripping naked in public, a sacred weapon of last resort, has given them unprecedented power over both government and oil through landmark moments in Nigerian history.

I LOVE 2 EAT #85/ WEST EGG CAFE!!!

2012-02-10T04:21:00.010-05:00

PEACE And GREETINGS;

HAPPY FRIDAY!!!

Yours Truly, CCGroovy offers sincere apologies for not keeping y'all posted on I LOVE 2 EAT-related activity, BUTT (you know Ya Boy CCG loves a Bigg But); there have been some telephonic and photographic challenges during the last couple of months that have prevented proper posting.

Hopefully, CCG can now stay on track.

This particular adventure actually occured towards the end of December 2011.

Dad was in town for the Christmas Holiday (Unfortunately, Mom was home in New Orleans), and Sis called early on the Wednesday morning after Christmas to ask if we wanted to go out for BREAKFAST.

WEST EGG CAFE
1100 HOWELL MILL ROAD
ATLANTA, GA 30318
404.872.3923
WEST EGG CAFE

WEST EGG CAFE was given the title of BEST BREAKFAST IN ATLANTA in 2008 and 2009 by CREATIVE LOAFING Magazine, and BEST BREAKFASTS IN GEORGIA list for 2009 by SOUTHERN LIVING MAGAZINE.

WEST EGG CAFE is conveniently located at 1100 Howell Mills road on the West Side of The ATL, mixed in with the Midtown, Atlantic Station, Georgia Tech, and Bucktown communities.

Arriving at about noon, the place was packed to the rafters. There was about a 30 minute wait. Sooooo... you know how that goes. The time that we would have spent trying to go someplace else would have taken that same 30 minutes to an hour (30 minutes + Parking, etc.) ... and Sis had to get back to the office.

The crowd was a genuine mix of age groups, genders, and ethnicities. This particular midday mob kept the servers bumping. Both the Coffee AND Dessert Bars were steadily buzzing.

CCG had the FRIED GREEN TOMATO WRAP, which is Freid Green Tomatoes, Scrambled Eggs, Bacon, Cheese, and Horseradish Dill Sauce, and wrapped in a Whole Wheat Tortilla. SKILLET POTATOES was my choice of Potatoes/Grits option. Sweet Tea to drink.

Due to telephonic and photographic challenges, memory only serves to remember that Niecy had CHICKEN FINGERS and a WAFFLE, with Sweet Tea.

Last week, during a game between the LOS ANGELES CLIPPERS and OKLAHOMA CITY THUNDER, CLIPPERS Power Forward BLAKE GRIFFIN "Facialized/Posterized" THUNDER Power Forward KENDRICK PERKINS!!!

The Twitteratti went through the roof of course, including MIAMI HEAT Power Forward LeBRON "KING" JAMES, who tweeted;

"Dunk of the Year! @blakegriffin just dunked on Kendrick Perkins so hard!!! Wow! I guess I'm No. 2 now. Move over #6."

KENDRICK PERKINS was apparently a little salty over this, telling anyone who would listen;

"You don't see Kobe (Bryant) tweeting," Perkins said, according to the report. "You don't see Michael Jordan tweeting. If you're an elite player, plays like that don't excite you."

"At the end of the day, the guys who are playing for the right reasons who are trying to win championships are not worrying about one play. They also are not tweeting about themselves talking about going down to No. 2," Perkins added, according to the report. "I just feel (James) is always looking for attention and he wants the world to like him."

ESPN FIRST TAKE has Analysts JEMELE HILL and SKIP BAYLESS go at it over PERKINS vs JAMES.

What do YOU think; does KENDRICK PERKINS have a right to be upset at LeBRON JAMES???

FOX NEWS Talk Show THE FIVE Compares President BARACK OBAMA To DRUG-USING DRUG COUNSELOR & DRUG DEALER Opening BARRY'S POT And COKE EMPORIUM!!!

2012-02-09T12:22:00.002-05:00

Meet (left to right) ANDREA TANTAROS, BOB BECKEL, ERIC BOLLING, DANA PERINO, and GREG GUTFELD!!!

These fine White Folks are the hosts and commentators of FOX NEWS Conservative Talk Show, THE FIVE, which airs Monday-Friday, 5:00PM ET.

Tuesday, February 7, while in fine form calling President BARACK OBAMA "N!gg!r", without actually using the word N!gg!r, they were discussing current events which included the fact that on Tuesday, President Obama encouraged would be donors to send funds to a newly launched Super PAC to assist him in his re-election bid.

Does that make going against an earlier decision to not accept such funding make the President a hypocrite???

The Case of CITIZENS UNITED vs FEDERAL ELECTION COMMISSION wasn’t yet decided before the 2008 General Election.

Instead, it is now the permissible rule of the political land; and, undisclosed gobs of money has been pouring in, in support of REPUBLICAN Candidates.

Can a DEMOCRAT get some???

GREG GUTFELD gabbed;

It's like if President Obama was a Drug Counselor, and you walk in on him doing lines of COKE, and he says, "I'm just trying to keep up with my clients."

ERIC BOLLING blabbed;

"It's like if for two years a guy's saying 'Don't Do Drugs, Don't Do Drugs', then the next day the guy turns around and opens BARRY'S HOUSE OF POT AND COKE EMPORIUM"

ANDREA TANTAROS added;

"Yeah, and his Cabinet Members are working for him."

PEACE And GREETINGS;

HAPPY TUESDAY!!!

Today, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 2012, is the twelvth annual observance of NATIONAL BLACK HIV/AIDS AWARENESS DAY.

NATIONAL BLACK HIV/AIDS AWARENESS DAY is a day for us to take time and focus directly on the STILL unbelievably staggering toll that HIV/AIDS is having on the BLACK COMMUNITY.

NATIONAL BLACK HIV/AIDS AWARENESS DAY is a day on which we may find hope in the progress made in the fields of HIV/AIDS-related Funding, Research, and Treatment. It is also a day on which we reflect on how very much work there is still left to do.

NATIONAL HIV/AIDS AWARENESS DAY is a day on which we call upon all of our institutions - Churches and Faith Communities, Schools and Education Communities, Legislators and Political Leadership, Social/Civic/Service Organizations, and all the way down to our neighborhood Barber and Beauty Shops to find a way to work together so an end to this costly epidemic might be found within our lifetimes.

In the video below, give a listen to Dr. KEVIN FENTON; Director of NATIONAL CENTER For HIV/AIDS, VIRAL HEPATITUS, STD, and TB PREVENTION.

NATIONAL BLACK HIV/AIDS DAY is a day for us to HARAMBE (We All Pull Together)!!!

During a recent session of the ARIZONA House, ARIZONA State Representative CECIL ASH (R: MESA) proposed that if WHITE PEOPLE ever become the minority population, there should be a proposed holiday to honor their accomplishments and acheivements.

PHOENIX (CBS5) - Arizona is already taking a lot of heat for its reputation regarding illegal immigration, and for Gov. Jan Brewer’s finger-wagging at President Barack Obama during a recent visit, and a state lawmaker isn’t exactly helping the state’s image.

Rep. Cecil Ash, a Republican from Mesa, is suggesting Arizona needs a holiday for white people.

“I wanted to speak to you all about Latino Americans here in Arizona,” said state Rep. Richard Miranda on the House floor Monday, starting the conversation that sparked the controversy.

Miranda said Arizona should have a Latino American day in Arizona.

After some heated debate, Rep. Cecil Ash stepped up to the mic.

“I’m supportive of this proposition. I just want them to assure me that when we do become in the minority you’ll have a day for us,” Ash said.

MUGSHOT MAYHEM: 6 MEN CHARGED In MURDER Of HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL PLAYER!!!

2012-02-04T23:53:00.001-05:00

MICHAEL DAVIS/ JASON DOZIER

Meet MICHAEL DAVIS, 23, and JASON DOZIER, 36 (top l-r); EDDIE LEWIS GREEN, 46, and TIMOTHY LAMAR JOHNSON, 34 (middle l-r); and ANTHONY BERNARD LUMPKIN, 32, and RICO DEHAVEN WEST, 19 (bottom l-r) !!!

These six Grown A$$ Men are currently being held in the GWINNETT COUNTY JAIL without bond on charges of FELONY MURDER and BURGLARY in the Home Invasion Burglary and Shooting Death of a 15-year-old boy.

Thursday evening FEBRUARY 2, 2012; these six grown men kicked in the door of the AUTRY STREET residence of the Jackson family in an attempted Home Invasion Robbery.

15-year-old NORCROSS HIGH SCHOOL Freshman Fullback/Linebacker NICHOLAS JACKSON and his 17-year-old sister, NIKIA JACKSON were playing video games in the basement as the intruders entered the home that is located just off HOLCOMB BRIDGE ROAD, in NORCROSS.

Attempting to investigate the noise and subsequently protect his older sister, NICHOLAS JACKSON went upstairs into the home.

Upon startling the robbers-in-progress, 15-year-old NICHOLAS JACKSON was shot once in the heart; killing him.

EDDIE LEWIS GREEN/ TIMOTHY LAMAR JOHNSON

Detectives were still piecing together a motive Friday afternoon, said NORCROSS POLICE DEPARTMENT Capt. BRIAN HARR. It is till unclear as to why the gunmen targeted the Jackson residence.

Captain HARR said;

"it does not appear to be gang-related."

NIKIA JACKSON made the 911 call for help. Police arrested the men after spotting their white van about a mile away from the scene. Captain HARR said sveral weapons were recovered from their vehicle.

NIKIA JACKSON said about her brother NICHOLAS;

"the best brother anybody could have." NIKIA added, "It seems so senseless.”

Fullback/Linebacker NICHOLAS JACKSON was promoted from the NORCROSS HIGH SCHOOL Fresman Team to the Varsity Team halfway through the 2011 season, according to his father. He had already attracted attention from the football program at ALABAMA STATE UNIVERSITY.

Father NICHOLAS JACKSON, Sr. said about his son;

"That's where he wanted to go," NICK Sr. added, "His life was 70 percent football, 30 percent PlayStation. But he always got his work done."

We offer HeartFelt HeavenSent PRAYERS, LOVE, CONDOLENCES, and Wishes Of WELLNESS And HEALING to NICHOLAS JACKSON, Sr., NIKIA JACKSON, and the Surviving Family of NICHOLAS JACKSON, Jr.

2012-01-30T14:38:00.001-05:00

Meet CHASITY NICOLE JONES!!!

22-year-old STONE MOUNTAIN-resident CHASITY NICOLE JONES is being held without bond in the FULTON COUNTY JAIL on charges of FELONY FIRST-DEGREE VEHICULAR HOMICICIDE, DRIVING UNDER The INFLUENCE (Midemeanor), and FAILURE To YIELD To PERSON AUTHORIZED To DIRECT TRAFFIC (Misdemeanor) following her arrest for the Drunk Driving Killing of 20-Year-Veteran ATLANTA POLICE DEPARTMENT Senior Officer GAIL THOMAS.

Thursday, January 26, 2012, Fulton Magistrate Judge JESSY LALL set bond at $15,000 on the two misdemeanors, but refused to allow bond on the vehicular homicide charge.

Judge LALL scheduled a Preliminary Hearing for CHASITY NICOLE JONES for Feb. 9 in FULTON SUPERIOR COURT, at which time her lawyers can ask a Superior Court judge to set bond.

CHASITY NICOLE JONES had not previously been arrested, BUTT (a big but); she has been cited six times for traffic offenses, including four times for SPEEDING. She has also been cited twice for MAKING ERRATIC LANE CHANGES and twice didn't show up for court appearances.

In November 2008, she was cited in GWINNETT COUNTY for causing a One-Vehicle wreck on FIVE FORKS TRICKUM ROAD.
Investigators say CHASITY NICOLE JONES was driving drunk when she struck and killed Senior Officer GAIL THOMAS shortly after 11:00PM, Tuesday, January 24, 2012, on the Brookwood Interchange ramp from I-75 Southbound to I-85 Northbound.

20-year-veteran APD Officer GAIL THOMAS was on the scene to assist another APD Officer with another automobile wreck.

Thomas had just arrived at the scene of the accident when Jones plowed into her, taking her life as she got out of her patrol car.

Thomas, 46, died at the scene. She was the second female APD officer killed in the line of duty.

While at the scene CHASITY NICOLE JONES blew .16 on a Breathalyzer Test. An Alcohol Level of .16 is TWICE the level of .08 that is considered TOO DRUNK TO DRIVE.

We offer PRAYERS, LOVE, CONDOLENCES, and Wishes Of WELLNESS And HEALING to the Survivng Family of ATLANTA POLICE DEPARTMENT Senior Officer GAIL THOMAS.
