UPDATE: Derek Medina was convicted of second-degree murder, sentenced January, 2016, and is serving his sentence for the slaying. ************************************************************************** The Florida man had been accused of killing his wife and then CREEPILY posting a photo of her corpse on Facebook. Derek Medina, 33, of South Miami, had been accused of killing 27-year-old Jennifer Alfonso in August of 2013. ************************************************************************** Back in 2015, Florida State prosecutors alleged that Medina,”an undefeated, 200-pound amateur boxer who was much larger than his 5-foot-6 wife,” gunned down Alfonso because she threatened to leave him. His Facebook post, state’s attorney Leah Klein said, was his way of “claiming victory.” Medina admitted to the shooting in the posting, claiming his wife had assaulted him, only he had forgotten to throw himself down some stairs so he would LOOK ASSAULTED.. ************************************************************************** Medina claimed that he uploaded the picture in an attempt to show family what had allegedly happened. He claimed in court that Alfonso whipped out a knife after the two argued. After supposedly disarming his wife, she attacked him again. Medina’s defense attorneys are also claiming Alfonso abused drugs, battered her husband, and was involved in Satan worship. ************************************************************************** Perhaps these lawyers should try their hand at TV screenplay writing or paperbacks. ************************************************************************** Police say Alfonso’s body “was found in a position indicating she was cowering in fear.” ************************************************************************** At the trial, Medina pled not guilty to first-degree murder charges, but nevertheless predicted in the post he’d end up in prison. “I’m going to prison or death sentence for killing my wife. Love you guys. Miss you guys. Take care. Facebook people you’ll see me in the news,” Medina posted along with the photo, according to the Miami Herald. ************************************************************************** Medina got life in prison when convicted. ************************************************************************** Feeling giddy or DRUNK, post your face with no explanation ************************************************************************** Doing this at at 1 AM is preferable, really any time of day is ideal for posting a close-up shot of your unintelligent, unblinking mug to a coworker’s wall. such as Pic Fic's Darren Dork. ************************************************************************** After the first occasion, Darren was so uncomfortable he chose to ignore the situation altogether and said nothing about my virtual gift to him for several weeks. I was eventually forced to confront him about it. He responded by casting his eyes downward and saying, “Um... yeah. I saw that.” Success! ************************************************************************** You may tag yourself in someone else’s engagement photo, either ONE of you with them or just call yourself --THEM. ************************************************************************** Facebook is a virtual goldmine of intimate couple’s portraits, both wedding, engagement, or hookup or otherwise. And they all get lots of likes. Maybe you haven’t received a notification in a while, or maybe you just want to feel like a part of something or sort of PHOTOBOMB out of sheer mean-ness. Either way, I recommend tagging yourself in another couple’s professionally-shot portrait. ************************************************************************** I went to college with Brianna and Max, so I was sure to get lots of notifications as our mutual friends liked their public testament to (what I had forced into becoming) our everlasting love. And I did! That’s me. In the middle. ************************************************************************** Comment on a photo from 10 years ago on a cold dark night, when someone was kissed 'neath a town hall light. ************************************************************************** When you first friend someone on Facebook, what do you do? You go back and look through every photo they’ve ever been tagged in starting in reverse chronological order naturally. But sometimes, your finger slips ever-so-slightly and you’ve just liked a photo from 2008 and given yourself away. It’s time to embrace your fears—and go one step further. ************************************************************************** I don’t know who this girl is, and I’m not sure what she’s eating, maybe SQUID. But I wanted everyone involved in this photo to know that I wanted them to know that I’d been there, watching her eat SQUID. And now they do. I have yet to receive a response. ************************************************************************** You can comment on old “life events” you had no part in, like voting for Burning Sandals, the Democrat Socialist candidate. ************************************************************************** One of the greatest things about Facebook is the ability to retroactively mark the big events in your life: the day you were born, your first breakdance, your first day on the job—all there for all the world to see. And if you want the world to see it, surely you want to hear the world’s thoughts on it? ************************************************************************** And if you really want to kick it up a notch, you can comment with phrases that would be uncomfortable to say even in person. So they know you care. ************************************************************************** Request someone’s relationship status, as in are you two MARRIED YET? ************************************************************************** Facebook has essentially just dropped this one right in your mailbox. If you go to someone’s profile, look to the left. If they have chosen to keep their relationship status hidden, you’ll see a small line prompting you to prod them for that very same sensitive information they’ve actively chosen to keep private. The future! ************************************************************************** Then request their address ************************************************************************** If, for some ungodly reason, the person you’ve chosen to complement has decided to oblige your absurd request, no reason to stop there. Facebook lets you ask them for all sorts of private, personal information they’ve made an explicit choice to keep hidden from you. High school? College? Phone number? Home address? How many times they SMOKE PER DAY. All of the above. ************************************************************************** Friend someone else’s grandma, or aunt. You GRADUATE! ************************************************************************** Everyone is on Facebook these days: your teachers, your mom, aunts and uncles—the whole gang’s there. But being friends with your own relatives can get boring. That’s when it’s time to start friending other people’s relatives. And no one is more excited about new friends on Facebook than grandparents. ************************************************************************** Poke someone else’s grandma ************************************************************************** I got lucky. After friending my coworker Nick Stango’s grandmother, she poked me. I was delighted and promptly poked her back. I cannot recommend it highly enough. Interact with #Brands FOISTED on your page. ************************************************************************** It makes people more uncomfortable than anything else you could possibly do. ************************************************************************** BTW, this is NOBODY'S GRANDMA...this is killer and his corpse bride!

September 2013

Portland. Oregon, liberal MECCA, is smack dab in the middle of a rather nasty upsurge of black mob violence directed at bicyclists. Tim Oberlander,a news editor at KGW TV in Portland, does not want us to know about WHITE bicyclists getting beatdowns from Black mobs. Tim Oberlander states that he wants to be able to live in a city that does good things for good people, but unfortunately, his Portland is under attack from black mob violence centered around Martin Luther King Boulevard. This black mob has been attacking bike riders, housewives, students, seniors, and whomever does not look like them. These attacks are part of an ongoing lengthy but quiet — history of racial violence in a liberal enclave that prides itself on racial tolerance and harmony. Oberlander and his station are staging a fundraiser to repair the broken teeth of a recent victim of black mob violence. “I want to live in a city where people do good things for other people,” Tim said. “Now we’ve raised money for Andy’s teeth, I can say that we live in a city that does good things for good people.” Oberlander COULD be a good person, but some viewers say he is an enabling, bad, sad, unreliable reporter for omitting the descriptions of the predators in his news accounts. And sketch artists will not see their hard work featured on his station since it appears that he does not want to anger or offend the criminals responsible. Here is what Tim Oberlander's station, KGW, reported about a few recent attacks: “Police were warning bicyclists in Northeast Portland to be on the lookout after two men were injured during separate attacks along Northeast Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard.” Andy Sweeney is a biker who is also the beneficiary of Oberlander’s fundraising generosity. Andy Sweeney was biking home from the grocery store in August,2013 when a “group of teens” threw a traffic cone at him, knocking him off his bike, leaving him with a concussion and two shattered front teeth which was formerly a winning smile. “It’s crazy,” Sweeney told KGW. “I don’t really understand their motivation or what they were going for.” Many viewers and readers also pondered the easy puzzle, even if the KGW was hell bent and determined to ignore it: “Great job ‘whitewashing’ the story,” said David Klassix at KGW’s reader comment portion. “And failing to mention the attackers were black.” Chloe Ru, another commenter stated: “Hey KGW. I will help you do something called REPORTING THE FACTS instead of hiding the truth”. Another victim said “her attackers were a group of AFRICAN AMERICAN aka BLACK teenage boys and she suspects they didn’t stop with her.” Sweeney described his attackers on Twitter: “Black kids in hoodies.” Once the sanitized. homoginized and pasteurized version of the attacks on bicycle riders became public, other victims of black mob violence in that area spoke up also, one at Reddit.com in response to Sweeney’s Tweet: “Same thing happened to me once except it was rocks being thrown, and thankfully my teeth are intact. The best you can do is just avoid being around any collection of young black males. It isn’t being racist it’s just being practical.” Many of the attacks are in the vascinity of Martin Luther King Boulevard in Portland. Perhaps the local media thinks everyone already is aware that this is a black part of town. For the benefit of the out-of-towners, it is a black part of town. Some readers provided a link to the Chris Rock comedy bit: “You know what’s sad? Martin Luther King stood for non violence,” said Chris Rock. “And I don’t care where you are in America, if you’re on Martin Luther King Boulevard, there’s some violence going down. It ain’t the safest place to be. You can’t call nobody and tell them you are lost on MLK.” (If you do, they will say) RUN! RUN! RUN!. This is SAD CUBED!!! One of the recent victims, a middle aged woman, wound up in the emergency room. The other passed around a flier, warning neighbors to be on the lookout. Said KGW: I heard some noise across the street and apparently one of the guys that was trying to vandalize the car came across the street,” said Amy Wilson. “(He) hit me very, very hard. (He) knocked me out cold. I fell back and hit my head on the sidewalk. She suffered a concussion and needed 12 stitches to close the wound on the back of her head. The guy must have felt like he had knocked out Mohammad Ali...very proud of his perpetrator sorry rear end for knocking out an older woman. Wilson said her attackers were a group of teenage boys and she suspects they didn’t stop with her. “I’m almost convinced that it’s the same group that we’ve talked about that are going against cyclists,” she stated. Then another victim commented on OregeonLive.com: It was at least the second time in less than a week that a group of teenagers had assaulted a bicyclist along MLK. Last Tuesday night, Bill Lynch, 64, had just crossed MLK as he pedaled home from a garden party when someone in a group of “three to five young people” knocked him off his bicycle on the Northeast Going Street Neighborhood Greenway. More BRAVE YOUTHS! “They were walking down the middle of the street like they owned it,” Lynch stated. “I don’t know what hit me. A strong fist? Something in someone hand? It hurt.” Bill Lynch stated that he was riding past the group and the POW! “came out of nowhere.” “When I filed a police report the officer said similar nighttime incidents had occurred in the neighborhood recently,” Lynch wrote in a brochure flyer that he posted in his neighborhood to encourage people to be more vigilant. “I learned there was another attack on Aug. 19. In a couple of cases, the bicyclists were beaten and had their bikes stolen.” And another. Chris Freeman wrote: I was also attacked by a group of about five kids on bikes at NE 7th and Stanton at about 11 PM on Aug 17. One of them jumped off his bike and tried to push me over. Luckily I didn’t lose my balance after being pushed and was able to get away. Somehow we don't think this would go on in Sheriff Joseph M. "Joe" Arpaio's county. Sheriff Joseph M. "Joe" Arpaio is the five-time elected sheriff of Maricopa County, Arizona and he enforces the law. But then punks in his area who get caught go to jail and wear pink underwear so seldom commit crime again. 2011 December PITTSBURGH — An 18-year-old Pittsburgh man has been jailed on charges he burglarized a local market with three teens - and then posted pictures on his Facebook page ...
Isaiah Cutler who has been jailed since Friday in the Dec. 12,2011 burglary. Online court records did not list a lawyer for him.

Police say Cutler, a 17-year-old and two 14-year-olds stole more than $80 worth of cash, cigarettes, candy and checks from the local Pittsburgh,PA market. About an hour later, police say, Cutler posted pictures of the teens posing with the loot on his page on the social networking site.

The under-aged suspects have been charged in juvenile court and been released to their parents.

Cutler faces a preliminary hearing Wednesday on charges of theft, burglary and that all-important 3 person conspiracy.

Over Five Years Old--New World Trade Center

On September 12,2005 the New World Trade Center was christened with a bottle of champagne. Barbara Bush, the First Lady, did the honors.

It is right by the water. A beautiful sight.

The front has a row of flags representing many countries which trade from the New World Trade Center.

The building is magnificent when lit up at night.

Facebooked Man?

Was he really a "Facebooked Man?" He found his mug shot on The Smoking Gun because he shot a teenager in the rear end, better known as "his butt".
WHY? A Memphis stroll by Cameron Wesley Tucker and Isaac Johnson Taylor to the "candy sto" caused Kenneth Bobby Bonds to have terse words with the two teens over their saggy draggy trousers.
Allegedly the 45 & 1/2 year old pulled out a "mean .44" and began blazing away. The teens ran away. One shot struck John Cameron Swazeey Wesley Tucker in the buttocks and came out his thigh. This transpired on September 25, 2008, the charge was TWO counts of aggravated ASSault and the bond was set at $25,000.

The teen was treated in TWO hospitals perhaps because he had an entrance wound in his butt and an exit wound in his thigh.

Will he put a picture of his bandaged buttocks on Facebook?

On a lighter note: Pakistan had a spokes mouth declare that five European airports are in danger from Islamofascistic terrorists to get them off the front pages around the world for allegedly selling out UN tankers transporting oil so that Islamofascistic Terrprists could burn them.

The United Nations is as popular as malaria but Islamofascistic terrorists are competing with Somalia pirate Islamofascist terrorists for the headlines.

Of course, the whole world thinks the lot of them could burn in Hell and Americans think the Democrats and RINO Republicans should go along to thread their marshmallows on wire coathangers!
