NEWS ROUNDUP: TEEN SHOOTING / FOX SHOULD FIRE TROTTA? / KILPATRICK VETOES RESOLUTION

Wednesday, May 28, 2008

Mildred Beaubrun, an 18-year-old student at Olympia High School was looking forward to graduation and nursing school.

Last Monday, she was shot after leaving Club Firestone in downtown Orlando. She and her friends had stopped at a 7-11 for gas and something to drink. Three or four men in a Chevrolet HHR also stopped and followed the young women as they left. “Hey, baby, what’s your phone number?” they called out. The men then began throwing items at the women’s Nissan Maxima and at one point, even swerved into the Maxima’s lane and tried to run the car off the road.

A shot was fired and the bullet struck Beaubrun, who was sitting in the back seat. She’s now lying unconscious at Orlando Regional Medical Center. Doctors aren’t sure that she’ll wake up or walk again.

Her mother, Mireille Jeanlouis, said, “I want them to catch these people who did that to my daughter. I don’t want them to do that to someone else.”

Police have released sketches of two suspects who were riding in the front seat of the HHR:

If you have any information involving this case, please contact Detective Mike Moreschi at (407) 246-2470.

FOX NEWS SHOULD FIRE LIZ TROTTA?

Fox News contributor Liz Trotta has apologized for her remarks, but critics are calling for the network to fire her after she remarked that she wished somebody would assassinate presidential candidate Barack Obama. A petition for Fox News to sack Liz Trotta has been circulating and is less than 500 signatures away from its goal of 10,000.

KILPATRICK VETOES RESOLUTION

Kwame Kilpatrick drawing by Scurv

Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick vetoed a resolution by the City Council asking Gov. Jennifer Granholm to remove him from office.

In a 10-page letter to the governor, Kilpatrick warned that ousting an elected official is “irresponsible” and deprives voters of their rights. He also claimed that the City Council can only remove him if he’s convicted of a felony or “lacked qualifications” to serve in office.

The council may have to re-vote on its request to contact Granholm, and it’s unknown if they could garner six votes needed to override a veto. The group voted earlier this month to ask the governor to help get the mayor out of office.

According to Kilpatrick, doing so is “contrary to the board’s past actions to uphold home rule,” who faces numerous charges stemming from a text-message scandal with his former chief of staff, Christine Beatty.

That lady should definitely be fired. That was no accident. That was worse than what Don Imus said. First she “accidently” said Osama instead of Obama. That was no accident. You could tell she was stuttering and then said Osama after a few seconds. In that time she should have realized she needed to say Obama. Then her saying “both of them would be fine…” was way out of line.

Ugh, I read about that poor girl yesterday.

We have GOT to start raising better men than this! “Hollering” at a group of females and making them uncomfortable is nothing less than harassment and should be a punishable offense. Maybe then these “men” will learn that women are not obligated to talk to you or give you their time of day.

The deteriorating relationship between black men and women is enough to make me cry sometimes. How two brothers can hurt a sister like that is just….unfathomable. What happened to protecting sisters even if they aren’t your kin? So sad…

Wow…just wow

I pray for the young lady and her family and her recovery.Being hissed at and this “hey shawty” is just so aggrevating to me.I get that a lot too and I can’t believe men or boys still do that.

Who’s this Trotta?Is she serious?First Hilary.I heard about Huckabee.I mean what the hell?????And then this bitch (who should be called one for making this statement). Really don’t wish death on nobody.When her ass get popped, that video is going to keep playing and playing and playing.But isn’t that’s what the secret service is for??So in my head why would Hilary,Hukabee say some stuff like that?Obama is probably the most hated man on this earth right about now.Keep your head up Obama.Somebody above us has a greater plan and it’s coming..

i dont understand why would anyone bother innocent people i really hopes the young lady pulls through and be able to be able to do what she wants to do in life, i know doctors can only make diagnosis from their point of view but i see otherwise, also that lady trotta, not type of apology should be given for that, that was really uncalled for to wish death on someone and laugh about it…the world’s getting worse and worse

APOLOGY OR NO APOLOGY

IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE .. THAT COMMENT WAS BEYOND INAPPROPRIATE … AND YES SHE SHOULD BE FIRED…

REGARDLESS OF OBAMA’S RACE.. HE IS A MAN WITH A FAMILY .. WHO IS JUST TRYING TO SHINE A LIGHT IN THIS DOWNWARD SPIRAL OF AMERICA AND DESERVES LIFE ..

HER COMMENT WAS COMPLETELY OUT OF LINE..

Liz Trotta should be fired, but she’s on Fox so what do you expect?
Another murder….what’s new? You could have just as easily written about the 15-year-old Chicago girl who pushed her 11-year-old cousin out the way of a bullet and died. We can write about it all we want…but it keeps happening and we keep talking about it. As I’ve said before, in my view, this is something young people, who can make a YouTube idiot a star, who can make hundreds of Facebook friends, who can text 100 people i five minutes need to get on top of. The crimes are disporportionately impacting YOU. My generation is ahead of you and we haven’t done what we should have if the crazy kids we’ve raised are any indication. It’s on you guys, for real.

Kwame, give it up…you are setting a horrible example all around and you should admit you fucked up and find a new career trying to make sure black men make better choices. You were giving all the privileges possible and you fucked them up. I have little sympathy for you.

My prayers go out to the young women and family and friends … I can’t help but think these fuckas was high on something cause I can’t believe men with normal brains would respond this way just from bein’ rejected ! WTF

Trotta is a pawn and like any good pawn she will take the fall ! U probably could her a pin drop when she said that stupid shit !

Kilpatrick … delusional !

1. Terrible news regarding the teen shooting, I hope the culprits get caught soon!

2. Fox News is a sad, laughable attempt at a real news station, and I’m not surprised that a statement as idiotic and ridiculous as this is on this piece of trash program. Liz Trotta should lose her job immediately.

that’s such a sad situation that the girl and her family are now in. those guys were not men b/c men don’t shoot ppl just b/c they’re rejected. not even sure they’re human. they’re just disgusting

and the lady definitely stepped out of line but i don’t think she should be fired. we can’t go firing everyone that says something ignorant or disgusting. she should be reprimanded though

28.

The incident with Mildred is so freakin upsetting. Sadly it is not uncommon. We as black women really get disrespected by SOME of our black men. There have been countless of times when I have to watch my back cause some will get so angry when you don’t want to talk to them. And you have the nerves to talk about white society. We are really falling off. Its so dam sad. When I was living in Chicago there was a young man who grab a chick’s butt on the L-train. And because she defended herself he killed her and her girlfriend. This happened quite sometime ago. They make a woman afraid just to say NO. It so pitiful. When you don’t give them no play, now you are a Bitch or a Hoe, you think you are all that and so forth. We suck! Seriously. SAD, VERY SAD.

I hope Mildred Beaubaum survive this tragic crime. And my prayer are with her and her family. This is so FREAKIN SENSELESS.

Wednesday, May 28, 2008 /

my heart goes out to that mildred girl. i was leavin a club and these n*ggas were trying to holler at a girl walking to her car. she ignored them, and after a few “b*tches” that didn’t get a response out of her, they shot her in the back. last i heard she was still paralyzed from the waist down. i don’t know what i’m going to do if i have a girl…

and the trotta stuff is ridiculous as a “professional” and a public persona. i’m all for freedom of speech, but when that freedom infringes on the safety and well being of others, something has to give. God forbid something happen to Obama. hell will have no fury like what would happen across the country. or at least in LA. bet on that.

that woman was so out of line with this one and then her apology was not sincere.somebody should go slap some sense into this bitch.im sick at the fact that she hasnt already been fired!who makes threatening comments like that because they dont support a candidates campaign?!are you kidding me?!

Wednesday, May 28, 2008 /

She should’ve been fired that day! But we are talking about FOX news…they are a channel dedicated to conservatives and they condone that type of behavior there. They have been making similar comments to anything that has to do with blacks for years now…nothing new sadly.

33.

bay area tycoon

Wednesday, May 28, 2008 /

And to comment on the guys who shot at those young ladies…we call those type of cats in the bay, bootsie a$$ busters! They need to be given a dose of their own medicine somehow. But i agree with #3…we need to do a better job raising our yong men. Ladies, if you don’t have a male role model around for your sons…find one somewhere…somehow. If it’s from a teacher at their school to the local Y or boys and girls club. That’s where the problem lies. They aren’t being taught on how to behave with anyone let alone our own people. They need that male influence in their lives.

As for this Trotta lady…more than her getting fired, I hope her mouth is shut for her on electon day! I’m Canadian so I can’t get Obama to the White House, but please…those of you who are eligible, vote, vote VOTE! Or all of these comments on this Trotta chick mean nothing!

As a resident of Orlando, Fl, this type of crime does not surprise me. I live in a upper middle class gated neighborhood and our house got broken into. My friend’s mom has a seven million dollar house and her house got broken into. It is getting really bad out here and I cant wait to move. My prayers go out to that girl. This is a sick world we are living in for someone to do that shit.

Now do you see the reason why The POLICE is always on the Brothers back, Look at the foolishness you just displayed, you made yourselves look like a f*cking rejected sissy. What has this community come too, when you can’t even trust the people you live around. Blacks get mad at other blacks when they decide to move out of the area, They need to realize that not all blacks want to live in that type of environment. I am saddened by the situation that Mildred Beaubrun is going through. And I hope they beat those thugs up like they did in Philadelphia.

My heart goes out to Mildred.

Somebody better tell Trotta that we don’t die, we multiply. A racist’s worst fear is an educated black person. They want their shoes shined in the big house, not a black man in the white house. But, slavery is long gone. Further, black people aren’t running scared. I guess she thinks that being on TV gives her the right to say whatever she wants. Well, God don’t like ugly which means he doesn’t like her or that outfit she’s wearing.

I don’t think Liz was suggesting or verbally saying she wishes for Obama to be assassinated, but saying that people are suggesting that the Hillary insinuated that with her recent statement. When she accidently said Osama, she then thought of the irony that people actually do want Osama dead. So she said “well both”…..She started the argument by denying that anyone assumed Hilary would be accused with the Kennedy comment.

FYI I am an Obama supporter…I just don’t think we should be too sensitive….it could really hurt him in the long run…

America is becoming more and more sickening each day. My prayers go out to the young lady and her family, it’s saddens me to know how far one will take rejection.

Trotta, comments were disgraceful and irresponsible. Fox News should also be held accountable for her actions. Not only should she be fired but News stations should be FINED and the funds should be attributed to school systems, lowering gas, or something more constructive than giving their bias opinions.

Kilpatrick, really no comment. It’s obvious who the REAL GANSTAS of America are - “The Government”.

Ashamed to be associated with Americans but PROUD to be BLACK - - disown African American (the American part is not for us)

Sometimes though, I’m like “damn my back is turned I hope he doesn’t shoot me.” He could easily run away and no one would find his ignant black ass!

I don’t think I’m having kids. There is no hope for the black community and no hiding. White people hate you, and Black people, OUR people, are killing us. It’s a no win situation. SMDH.

Mr. Kilpatrick needs to walk away, his legacy is dirt, he is a liar and an adulturer and stupid for leaving evidence behind of the above!!!

I watched the interview and she did not call for the assasination of Sen. Obama, she said Sen. Clinton is wrong for even drawing reference to or a correlation between an assasination (which would make her the nominee by default) when tensions are so high! That being aside, as a public figure and based on bias and things being said has news people have an obligation to be more careful of what they say and how it is said!! I caught that “Osama I mean Obama” bullshit!! Either it was a Freudian slip or a very old trick she played that was not cool!!!

This is what I am talking about when I say we let crime in our nieborhoods. The shooting happened a week ago. Everybody that look like them should have been turned in and question. Someone’s parenting or lack of allowed these men to be this way. It kind of makes me mad that we call for the shooters head but was dismiss
the action of Sean Bell and the Jena 6. Our community is falling apart because we dare to stand up and say “Black or White this is wrong” These young men are a product of there envoirment and they dont know any better but they still should spend the rest of their lives in jail. Some of you think that the govenment conspacy to keep the brother down. Wrong. You got animals running around like this and yall want officers to back down.

I feel so bad for the young girl that was shot. Its such a shame the women can’t even walk down the street without men trying to holla at them and if you dont answer, they get mad and do stupid things like curse you out, spit at you, or even as in this case shoot you. Men cannot stand rejection, its like their enemy. I am only 23 yrs old and have grown to hate men because they are straight up dogs - they lie, cheat, have at least 3 girls to them, and are nasty at the mouth and with what they do. Its a shame how much their parents try to raise them well, and they turn out ugly inside and out. I am sorry to sterotype, but goodness..I havent been able to walk anywhere around my block without being harrassed by thirsty wack dudes on the corner who want nothing but ass. What the hell is the world coming to and where are the respectful, non-ignorant men at. DAMN lol!

Why is it that all of these people making comments about Obama being murdered, are trying to play it off like its a bad joke. That is the same excuse all of them are giving after putting their foot in their mouth. I would rather see one of them just say out right what they feel and not apologize. At least you know who doesnt want Obama around versus the ones who pretend to like him and are fake.

What up bro. Long time no “see”. That’s funny you said that because I’ve definitley been peepin the scene. I was at the gym the other day and they had Fox News on. On the bottom ticker they were talking about Obama. And then all of a sudden they totally switched subjects and started talking about Osama. But it was like no break between the subjects, and I was confused at first, and then I realized what they did.

#79: You shouldn’t hate men. Those males that you speak of are not men, because no man would dare insult a woman and definitely not do so just because she’s not interested in him. That’s ridiculous and immature. If she doesn’t want to talk to you or whatever, dude, just let it go. It’s not even that serious.

Not all men fit your description, though. Some of us don’t lie or cheat and are respectful.

Kilpatrick needs to just step down.

@ #88 Guy J

Rant and rave all you want but Obama is your next president and there is nothing you or anybody else can do about it so get over it all ready. Oh and I why you are complaing about 90% of AA voting for Obama don’t forget those white women voting for Hillary, or the people in PA,OH,WV, KY who said race was the determining factor in how they voted and how they will not vote for an AA.

KILPATRICK

This a prime example on why you can vote on someone because of race. Its too late to try to throw this man out. The city knew what kind of man this was before he was sworn in. He didnt just start going to strip clubs and throwing parties. Where was the city counsel during the first term. It’s kind of hard to tell on someone when you getting your party on too I guess. Why isnt Al Sharpton not protesting KILPATRICK. I mean he is the mayor of a very large African American City. My how we pick and chose our limits for wrong and protect the evils of our bothers.

As an Orlando resident who works in public transportation here, I see the potential makings for even more of this type of unfortunate situation to happen again.

I was just mentioning to my wife how there seems to be more intense spiritual stronghold over Orlando even more so than other cities I have visited and lived in. I lived the first 38 years of my life born and raised in New York City (Relocated to Orlando in 2001) and I can truthfully say that proportionately, the foolish crimes happen down here even more so pound for pound than where I came from! I have a very unique perspective of this city because the first few years living here I worked as a corrections officer in the county jail.

The image of Orlando is quite different from reality. The schools and educational system is far below standard. I have a high school education (But a strong drive to read and be informed) yet can hold a conversation on ANY subject with people who hold degrees here! Some of who I can’t understand HOW they have achieved what they have achieved while being as functionally illiterate as they are! This is not a put down but fact! Anyone who comes here from up north will agree.

The standards here are lower. The expectations here are lower. There is a frustration amongst honest hard working people here so the thugs REALLY have it bad and therefore are doing some REALLY stupid stuff. It will always happen when you have no understanding of how a civil society is supposed to work and one is uneducated and ignorant of how you as an individual has an expected level of civil behavior and respect for the laws of the land.

In all my years growing up in New York City, I NEVER had a problem navigating the streets at all times of night ’cause the unwritten rule was that when something bad happened to someone, it was either because the victim messed with their money or their woman or some major violation. Observers would mumble, “Well for that person to get shot/killed it had to be where they where doing SOMETHING!” Nine times out of ten there was a reason although taking someones life or injurying them is still wrong. Down here in Orange County, you can get shot randomly for doing nothing except being in the wrong place at the wrong time. The thugs here are resentful of ANYTHING positive it seems and will kill you just because. They are jealous and only want to violate/use the women that they try to “holla” at in the first place. Their standards are below scale and the funny part is, there are many (In the minority to be honest) women who truely love the pants hanging down, fake dreadlock wearin’ (These guys don’t even know the righteous connotations of the Rastafarian lifestyle) stink smellin (When they get on my bus you can smell their backside and balls as they pay their fare!) foul mouth, ignorant, non vision having, non ambitious leeches who only live to experience the next bodily function (Sh*tting & Pis*ing, Eating, Sleeping & Sex) !

Just yesterday as I rode my bike for a little exercise down Apopka-Vineland road I couldn’t help but feel proud at how many beautiful Black sisters of ALL ages, shapes, colors and sizes I saw walking-jogging-running after a hard days work in order to maintain themselves out of a self respect and love for themselves. I must have been a strange site for these women because I saw absolutely NO OTHER BROTHERS out there trying to take care of themselves! I must say that there are good brothers here but they seem to be a dwindling few remaining. What hurt me is that although my appearance spoke for itself (My biker gear, “high-end” hybrid bicycle and helmet) they still appeared subtlely frightened and tense as I gave them right of way on the narrow pathway as I passed them by. I could only think of how they may have been traumatized in the same fashion as Mildred Breubrun for attention and may have thought I might have done the same thing in some disrespectful manner. That really hurt me. I am a married man who wasn’t even thinking in any indecent manner toward them and wished deep down I could compliment them as they passed for their efforts.

My thoughts and prayers goes out to Mildred and her family…
Like seriously, when will the violence against black women stop? Its a shame that many of you would waste your time signing some stupid ass petition about a reporter, but very little is willing to step up and take action in your communities dealing with the issues that we face as a people everyday. I guess if Mildred got shot up by a bunch of white people or police officers, the rest of you would jump up and have something to say. But when a black woman becomes yet another victim to the streets, it is looked upon as something typical, with no actions being taken smh. I noticed that even some our brothers who consider themselves to be strong, spiritual and militant in our communities, will often turn a blind eye to the issues that black women face day to day…

I AM NOT SAYING THAT THESE YOUNG LADIES CAUSE THIS ON THEMSELVES, BUT I AM QUITE SURE THAT THEY PROBABLY BLEW THE GUYS OFF AND LAUGHED AT THEM OR SOMETHING, AND THEN THESE TWO WASTES OF SEMEN, COULD NOT HANDLE IT. THESE YOUNG GIRLS WATCH THE WOMEN IN MOVIES AND VIDEOS AND THINK THAT THEY CAN BLOW GUYS OFF LIKE THAT IN REAL LIFE-IT DOES NOT WORK LIKE THAT, BECAUSE YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS GOING THROUGH PEOPLE’S MINDS. IF AN UNATTRACTIVE GUY ASK ME FOR MY NUMBER, I TELL THEM THAT I AM SPOKEN FOR, EVEN IF I AM NOT.

AS FOR KILPATRICK, I NEVER THOUGHT THAT HE WAS SUITABLE, FIRST OF ALL HE WAS TOO YOUNG, SECONDLY, I ALWAYS THOUGHT IS WAS SOMETHING CROOKED ABOUT HIM. TROTTA SHOULD BE FIRED.

We need to turn to God for guidance and help with everything that is
happening in this world. Ignorance of this magnitude should not
and will not be tolerated. Yes, God has a plan for us all. I am proud
of Obama for not trashing his competitors. This shows that the man
definitely has class. I believe anything is possible though Christ.

As far as the lady that got shot, I pray that God dispatched his
angels to take care and protect her while she is recuping from
her injuries. It is a shame that some young men have no respect for themselves
or anybody else. The men need to repent for their stupidity and also
turn their selves in to the authorities. The young men definitely need
some counseling. They have to understand that kind words will get
any womens attention, not negativity.

Hard times will be coming, therefore we need to get on our knees and
pray for guidance.

Love & Peace to everyone!
