ROLE MODELS?

Submitted by Admin on

What is going on, folks? Why are our role models accused of raping, stealing and unethical activity?
How can large corporations attack helpless individuals and for the most part, get away with abuses?

LATINO WILLIE HORTON

Submitted by Admin on

In 1986, Willie Horton was serving a life sentence for murder, but was released from a prison in Massachusetts on a weekend furlough program, during which time he escaped and raped a woman.

Then-governor Michael Dukakis had supported the prison furlough program, and when he ran for President in 1988, George H. W. Bush, used that to his advantage as his political opponent.

The "Revolving Door" ad never mentions Horton by name, but the connection was clear and the ad received considerable news coverage. Willie Horton 1988 Attack Ad https://youtu.be/Io9KMSSEZ0Y

A 21-year-old father from The Bronx was shot and killed Tuesday by a laughing maniac in broad daylight while he was carrying his one-year-old daughter.

Allen McQueen dropped dead to the ground after taking a bullet in the head in the afternoon. His daughter fell to the bloodstained ground, but was injured. The executioner was seen running away, while laughing.

Comedian Bill Cosby is no longer making folks laugh. In fact, some organizations are taking steps to distance themselves from him. Some say Cosby should stand trial after admitting using date-rape drugs. However, his old friends are standing by COZ.

WHAT HAS THE DIAZ DUO DONE?

It seems like Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr. is dancing the flip flop shuffle. Just weeks ago he was playing golf and praising The Donald, but now he appears to be re-considering his actions and previous comments. CITY IMAGES requested a comment days ago, but his communication director, who does not speak Spanish suggested we listen to the Radio.

It is interesting that an office, which normally sends out multiple press releases about wide ranging subjects has been extremely quiet for several days.

A LOT OF BULL

In Pamplona, Spain, the running of the bulls starts today. In USA camp pain bull has been flying for some time, with about a year and a half left to go.

The first of eight runs started for more than half a mile through the streets of this northern Spanish city.

On Monday, crowds celebrated the upcoming event with the ceremonial Chupinazo, or the launching of firework rockets. Since its inception in 1924, 15 people have died during the event. How many have died as a result of the wrong corrupt politician being elected here?

DALAI LAMA BIRTHADAY

Submitted by Admin on

The fourteenth Dalai Lama turns 80 today. He is the longest-lived incumbent Dalai Lamas, who also happen to be important monks of the Gelug school, the newest school of Tibetan Buddhism which is nominally headed by the Ganden Tripas.

He says that it is simply not enough to feel concern for those who suffer. He insists that we all convert those feelings into actions at improving the world.

Give the Dalai Lama his birthday wish today and start acting on your kind thoughts http://wpo.st/dGdP0

Women's World Cup 2015 Champions: USA All the way. The Women's World Cup Final brought fans to their feet, and that's just fine with CITY IMAGES.

The game was a rematch of the 2011 World Cup final, which Japan won in a dramatic penalty kick shoot-out. That game was also tense: 1-1 at the end of regulation and 2-2 at the end of overtime, before Japan won the shootout 3-1.

But not this time, Japan lost to USA 5-2. For all the latest information: DOSE OF NEWS * www.doseofnews.com
