Geraldo Rivera: Surveillance Tape Shows Trayvon Was Dressed Like a ‘Thug’ [Video]

Geraldo Rivera, who wormed his way into the media coverage of Trayvon Martin by saying that the hoodie was ultimately responsible for his death, is back it. In the wake of the release of the 7-11 video surveillance, he claims that he was right in his initial statement: Trayvon was “dressed in thug wear,” reports the Huffington Post.

“I think what’s far more significant is what Trayvon Martin looked like on that night, Bill,” he said to FOX News host Bill O’Reilly. “Aside from the fact that he’s dressed in that thug wear — look at the size of him, he’s not a little kid.

“If this young man was a stranger to George Zimmerman, Trayvon Martin looks just like the people who had been burglarizing and victimizing that neighborhood for the last six months,” Rivera continued.

Even O’Reilly, who often shows flashes of fairness, even if only to later claim that he’s, in fact, “fair and balanced,” said that Zimmerman was “profiling” Trayvon.

Rivera’s response?

It was not “profiling,” but assumptions made “based on a reasonable comparison.”

Will Smith Smacks Reporter Who Tries To Kiss Him In Moscow [video]

Will Smith doesn’t like to be kissed on the red carpet — especially by male reporters. While promoting Men in Black 3 in Moscow, a Ukrainian reporter asked Smith for a hug, he obliged only to find that same reporter trying to give him an open mouth kiss. Smith lightly smacked the man and later said he was “lucky I didn’t sucker punch him.” The Christian Post reports.

Will Smith smacked a reporter who kissed him one too many times on the red carpet of the “Men in Black 3″ premiere in Germany Thursday. The actor didn’t take the move lightly, saying that he nearly “sucker punched” the man.

Will Smith and the reporter kissed several times on the cheek on the red carpet as the actor made his rounds. However, the prankster, an unnamed Ukrainian reporter– usually tries to sneak in a kiss on the lips from various celebrities. The man tried to hold Smith in the hug for a bit too long, and the 43-year-old wasn’t having it.

“What the hell is your problem buddy?” Smith says angrily, shoving the white-clad man backwards. The reporter, surprised, stared at Smith as he walked away.

Black Tea Party Pastor Says ‘Women Can’t Handle Real Power’

Chad Ashmore — Thu, 10 May 2012 12:45:37 +0000

A Los Angeles pastor said that giving women the right to vote was America’s greatest mistake, the Daily Mail reports.

Rev. Jesse Lee Paterson, an African-American Tea Party advocate, made his stupid-headed remakes during a sermon, if you want to call it that, back in March. But his comments are getting more attention as of late.

His 12-minutes of ignorance titled, “How most women are building a shameless society,” outlines how he feels women are incapable of handling real power and how God gave men “real authority.” Moreover, Paterson says that, when men were in power in the past, “things were more solid.”

The sexist pastor was a guest on Sean Hannity’s Fox News show last week when another guest, Kirsten Powers, called him out for his views on women’s rights.

Mom Arms Gay Son With Stun Gun To Fight School Bullies [VIDEO]

Chad Ashmore — Tue, 08 May 2012 10:38:25 +0000

Chelisa Grimes gave her gay son, Darnell “Dynasty” Young, a stun gun to protect himself against bullies, after she lost faith that officials at Arsenal Technical High School in Indianapolis would protect him, CNN reports.

The 17-year-old high school student says be took the stun gun to school because he didn’t feel safe. On April 16, six students surrounded Young, taunting him and pelting him with homophobic insults. He then took out the gun and fired it, sending off an electric shock. The would-be bullies were abated. Young’s mom says she doesn’t regret her decision of giving her son a stun gun, and, in fact, would make the same decision again. However, her son is now facing expulsion.

She told CNN the choice to arm her son was one that she had to make:

“I do not promote violence — not at all — but what is a parent to do when she has done everything that she felt she was supposed to do … at the school?” the mother, Chelisa Grimes, told CNN’s Don Lemon on Sunday. “I did feel like there was nothing else left for me to do, but protect my child.”

NYPD Cops Beat Defenseless Teen For Apperently No Reason [VIDEO]

Chad Ashmore — Mon, 07 May 2012 12:10:42 +0000

Several New York Police Department (NYPD) cops are being accused of brutality for beating 19-year-old Bronx teen Jateik Reed in what many are saying is a case of an illegal “Stop and Frisk,” NY 1 reports.

The incident, which took place in January of this year, was captured by surveillance video from a nearby building. It shows officers beating the teen on the ground with batons while kicking and punching him after he was clearly no threat to the officers.

The officers claim that the teen had drugs in his hand. Reed was charged for multiple crimes. But surveillance video shows the teen walking with his hands out and no drugs were in view. Several former NYPD cops say the video shows that the officers’ actions were inappropriate.

Jon Stewart Blasts GOP Outrage Over Bin Laden Ad

Chad Ashmore — Thu, 03 May 2012 13:36:10 +0000

To no one’s surprise, on Tuesday night Jon Stewart took on the chatter surrounding the anniversary of Osama bin Laden‘s death. He shot down the outrage over President Obama‘s Osama bin Laden ad, saying Republicans would have done the same thing — and they’re just mad because they didn’t get the chance.

Playing some Republicans’ reactions to Obama’s bin Laden ad, Stewart commented, simply and emphatically, “Wah.” He then articulated his argument with a bit more detail:

So let me get this straight. Republicans, you are annoyed by the arrogance and braggadocio of a wartime president’s political ad? You think he is divisively and unfairly belittling his opponents. I see. Have a question. Are you on crack? Were you alive lo these past ten years? It seems unseemly for the president to spike the football. Bush landed on a fucking aircraft carrier [...], he spiked the football before the game had even started!
