“You worse than the rats of New York sewage system. They have bigger brains than you. You might get a job as bouncer at gay bar,” Hadid, told Torres in an Instagram direct message sent from his verified account.
“Make sure you dress as KKK to hide that ugly gray colored face of yours." Hadid continued, continuing to say that "You are just unusual Black and colorful mouth for Israeli and AIPAC and looking for payday of over 500K.”

Parents Charged After Daughter's Fatal Asthma Attack, accused of stalling on seeking treatment for 9-year-old Amy
Parents Charged After Daughter's Fatal Asthma Attack
Rachel and Anthony Modrow are accused of stalling on seeking treatment for 9-year-old Amy
The parents of a Minnesota girl who died after an asthma attack earlier this year have been charged with second-degree manslaughter, accused of not taking her to the hospital as she suffered the attack. KARE 11 and the Star Tribune report that Anthony and Rachel Modrow, both 34, were booked Wednesday into the Hennepin County Jail regarding their 9-year-old daughter Amy, whose story started on the evening of Feb. 9.
Asthma attack: Per a criminal complaint, Amy was sleeping over a friend's house that night when she started struggling with her breathing. The friend's mother told investigators that Amy seemed to have trouble using her asthma inhaler, so she called the Modrows around 7am to let them know. Amy's parents don't have a car, so the friend's mother drove Amy home and told them she could take Amy to the doctor, but they declined that offer. "The woman said the victim was wheezing, breathing heavily, could barely walk, and asked to be taken to a doctor," per KARE.
Finally, help: A family friend was then called to the house around 10am, and he says when he got there, "Amy's skin was blue, she couldn't raise her arms, and she was crying," the Star Tribune notes. While Rachel Modrow wanted to run a steam bath to help her daughter, the friend insisted on calling an ambulance; he's said to have called 911 around 10:40am.
Amy's death: Amy stayed in the ICU until a week later, when she was declared brain dead due to lack of oxygen. Anthony Modrow told police during questioning that Amy had told them about a month earlier that her inhaler was empty and that they'd never gotten it refilled.

a crime with missing victim: LAPD looking for woman who appears injured in street takeover
Elon Musk estimated 250,000 Cybertruck sales per year, 3,878 delivered in first 6 months
Result: Every single driver who paid for a Cybertruck, all 3,878 of them, now has to haul their extremely angular EV to their local dealer in Tesla's biggest recall to date. And as with a lot of news these days, how you react to the recall likely depends on whether you're an obsessive fan of Elon Musk.
-------------------
The recall also revealed, inadvertently, how far short of Musk's ambition the Cybertruck has fallen thus far. The CEO estimated 250,000 Cybertruck sales per year in a recent earnings call. It's fair to say that 4,000 Cybertrucks delivered in the first 6 months is a little short of that goal. Not only is that 10 times less than the number of Rivian EV trucks sold so far — and just to be clear, Rivian is in trouble too — it's also less than half the total number of Deloreans sold in the U.S. in the 1980s.

'Scammed on the worst day of my life': Pet owners say cremation service took their money, ghosted them
On a Monday night in early March, Robert Balog and a friend made the hour-and-a-half drive from Van Nuys to Oxnard to meet an elusive man in a Best Buy parking lot.
The man, 35-year-old Anthony Nuñez Jr. of Oxnard, emerged from an old-model red Ford Ranger and handed Balog a thick black bag. Inside were the decaying remains of Balog’s beloved pet, a short-hair American tabby cat named Stewie.
Balog drove Stewie home, rolling down the windows to dampen the smell that began to fill the car. He was just grateful he got him back, he said.

But We Care doesn’t have a state-of-the-art crematorium; it takes animals to other companies’ facilities to be cremated, according to the owner of one such company. And after they pick up the animals, they often don’t return the cremated remains, multiple customers said.
Several people who spoke with The Times had nearly identical experiences with the company: Nuñez or Valasquez would pick up their pet at any time of day, collect payment through Zelle and promise to return with the ashes in two to three weeks.
Then, as weeks and months passed, Nuñez and Valesquez would stop replying to the customers. They kept the money and, in most cases, blocked their customers’ calls.

protestors show up at Oklahoma Ryan Walters "town hall"
Anti-Woke Oklahoma Schools Boss’ Event Labeled a ‘PR Stunt’Oklahoma schools boss Ryan Walters kicked off his talk at a state university on Wednesday night by calling on people to “never back down to a woke mob.”
But less than 15 minutes later, Walters seemed to do just that as hecklers in the audience shouted over his remarks.
------------------------
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/anti-woke-oklahoma-schools-boss-event-labeled-a-pr-stunt/ar-AA1ng9OY
On Wednesday morning, a TUPSA college field rep sent an email to students who RSVP’d to what was advertised as a “town hall.” But the message noted that “Ryan will be giving a 20 to 30-minute speech with questions at the end if time permits.”
“So that’s not a town hall and pretty undemocratic for it to be presented that way,” Farrow told The Daily Beast, adding that TPUSA instead had certain people ask prepared questions.
“We extensively prepared to have a dialogue, but he was unwilling to hear us out,” she said.
That changed protesters' original plans, which included asking researched questions about Ryan’s policies. They weren’t planning on staging any disruption until they learned the “town hall” was actually just a right-wing lecture.
“We have questions about the way that he is operating as state superintendent, because that is taxpayer dollars from all of us,” she said.
According to News 4, more than 100 people showed up to the lecture hall to see Walters, who doesn’t often engage in Q&As with the general public.
Walking back and forth across the room, Walters told TPUSA supporters of the activists, “You conservatives scare them so bad, they are so scared to hear from you that they will shout you down. They will scream hysterically.”
“Conservatives, this is what winning looks like,” added Walters, 38, a former high school history teacher who’s aligned himself with far-right causes including the extremist group Moms for Liberty since taking office in 2023.
Despite the clamor, Walters took an opportunity to spew his us-versus-them discourse.
sports reporter has apologized for making the cringy comment to Caitlin Clark and referring to her as "that","It"
A cringeworthy moment was captured at Caitlin Clark's first press conference with the Indiana Fever. Off camera, a reporter made Clark’s signature heart-hands gesture. “Start doing it to me and we'll get along just fine,” says Indy Star reporter Gregg Doyel. Although the audience awkwardly laughed, Clark had a bewildered expression on her face. Now, Doyel is apologizing, calling his comments clumsy and awkward.
listen to what he said to Indiana Fever

Undercover cop beaten by colleagues during protest wins $23.5m payout
St. Louis cops severely beat a black man, Luther Hall, during a street protest in 2017. But Hall was not there to protest: he was in fact another cop observing the event undercover. A jury awarded him $23.5m in a lawsuit that the defendants did not even respond to, so unwilling are they to explain themselves.
"Mr. Hall had to endure this severe beating and while that was happening, he knew it was being administered by his colleagues who were sworn to serve and protect," Circuit Judge Joseph Whyte said. … The attack happened on Sept. 17, 2017, days after Stockley was acquitted in the fatal shooting of 24-year-old Anthony Lamar Smith on Dec. 20, 2011. Hall was walking back toward police headquarters when his uniformed colleagues ordered him to put up his hands and get on the ground, then beat him.
These cops were exposed as violent racist goons by happenstance, and only one of the officers involved got jail time. The payout is a perverse result of making police otherwise unaccountable for misconduct: we now have cops beating each other up and getting massive payouts on the taxpayer's dime.
