Britney Spears: New Tattoos/ Bald/Shaves Her Head
On February 16th, 2007 Britney did the unthinkable. She shaved her own head and then went and got a tattoo
New Tattoo, Shaves Head⦠Bald!!!
Reports further stated that âthe pop diva could be seen inside the tattoo parlor with her head fully exposed, but as she left the shop her bodyguard led her straight to a waiting SUV. Spears had her head covered with a hooded sweatshirt to hide her new noggin.â
Fans, onlookers and paparazzi on the scene were interviewed after Spears departed and had few compliments in regards to her new look.
Â
Sources told Hollywood.tv that Britneyâs mother is devastated. âThey are in a major intervention mode. Her mom is constantly crying, her family is freaking out.â
The Gossip Girls reported yesterday that Britney spent less than 24 hours out of the country, at a rehab facility. She flew from the Caribbean rehab center back to California, and was photographed at a Sherman Oaks tattoo shop âBody and Soulâ getting a tattoo. The ink job reportedly was a pair of red and pink lips on her wrist, reports nateperkins.blip.tv

The students who integrated Central High in 1957 became known as the Little Rock Nine. Today, they are being joined by the "Jena Six."
Six black teenagers are accused of attacking a white teenager at school. The question is, was it attempted murder, or is it a case of racial injustice.
The answer to that question could mean the difference between freedom and years in prison.

Justice for the Jena "#6" Now ( http://nateperkins.blip.tv )
Free The Jena SixFacing South was one of the first media outlets to cover the case of the Jena 6 -- black youths in rural Louisiana who are facing up to 22 years in prison (thanks to an all-white jury) after getting in a schoolyard fight with white students.
This week, ColorOfChange gives us an update on the status of the case and their national campaign:
Last Tuesday, over 300 people from across the country descended on Jena: we rallied in front of the courthouse, marched through downtown Jena, and cut through a line of sheriffs to hand-deliver petitions from more than 43,000 ColorOfChange.org members to the District Attorney's office.The District Attorney has refused to protect the rights of Jena's Black population and has turned the police and courts into instruments of intimidation and oppression.JENA, La. -- Two civil rights leaders urged Jena residents to demand equal justice, and one called for an investigation of the district attorney who is prosecuting six black teenagers charged with serious crimes in the beating of a white classmate.The Revs. Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton both said Sunday they would join thousands of people expected in Jena on Sept. 20 to protest the teens' treatment. That is the day that one of the six, Mychal Bell, is to be sentenced on an aggravated second-degree battery conviction. Bell faces up to 15 years in prison.News results for 'Jena 6' Case

One question: If justice is blind, does that mean color blind too?
When I first heard this story, the picture that flahed through my mind was the town I grew up in. The town with the "Negroes" who lived at one side and the whites who occupied the rest. The separation was an imaginary line, for the streets did no stop.
If a "Negro" came into the white side of town for whatever reason you could literally see the fear in his eyes. It was always a he, never a she. For the whites the same rule applied.
My Grandfather lived in La., and worked for the railroad. He never mistreated anyone, never talked down to anyone. If his crew had to eat outside, or drink from an old pump, he did the same.
His boss carried a big, thick stick because he was afraid one or more of hid "Negroes" would kill him. He had reason to be fearful.I wasn't afraid of the "Negroes", but I was definitely afraid of Mr. Day.
If you think this was back in the early part of the century, you would be wrong.
I thought we had come farther. Guess not.
Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.
Maggie
It is unclear to me what Bell's past criminal record is. Two things stand out to me: that Bell was tried as an adult at age 17 and that in this trial his shoes were sought out as a weapon, because if you can't prove evidence of a weapon, then it would be a mis-trial. THis case was definitely handled the wrong way.
As far as the mayor and the residents of the small Louisiana town goes, their self-censored silence seems to tell a tale of its own.
Without knowing if a past record exists its hard to have an opinion any further. But if he didn't have a record, then without being seen as an attacker, and no other evidence to point to him as an attacker, the term railroaded comes to mind.

The Dog Godfather (2008): Kingpin Sentence To Jail time--Michael Vick, PETA, Dogfighting!

Vick Dogs Facing Euthanization - Hartford Courant - 33 related articles »
Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick agreed on Monday to plead guilty in a dog-fighting case that threatens to wreck the career of one of U.S. football's most dynamic stars.
A strong-armed quarterback and breakaway runner, the 27-year-old Vick is accused of helping to run an interstate dog-fighting enterprise known as "Bad Newz Kennels" from 2001 through April 2007.
Dogfighting, in which two dogs bred to fight are placed in a pit to attack each other for spectators' entertainment and gambling, is illegal in the United States.
Prosecutors charged that dogs sometimes fought to the death and some losing or underperforming dogs had been shot, drowned, hanged, electrocuted or killed by being slammed to the ground.
Vick had initially denied direct involvement in pit bull fights that an indictment said took place on his property in Virginia. He accepted the deal after associates agreed to cooperate with prosecutors under their own plea deals.
"Mr. Vick will be entering a plea of guilty next Monday at 10:30," U.S. District Judge Henry E. Hudson told a group of some 20 reporters at the federal courthouse in Richmond.
Michael Vick - Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaMichael Dwayne Vick was born to Brenda Vick (16) and Michael Boddie (17) on June 26, 1980, in Newport News, Virginia, and was the second of four children. ...
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Vick -
"No details of the plea agreement are publicly available at this time," added Hudson, who did not answer questions. Vick was not present, and the judge said the player would appear at the courthouse for the hearing next week.
Vick, one of the NFL's highest-paid players, could go to jail. Without a deal, the quarterback was likely to face a new indictment with more charges, legal sources had said.
Vick, the top pick in the 2001 NFL draft out of Virginia Tech, faced up to six years in prison and $350,000 in fines if convicted on all of the initial charges.
He was indicted by a federal grand jury on July 17. The NFL, its season due to start next month, barred the three-time Pro Bowl selection from training camp after the indictment.
VICK APOLOGIZES: You watching NATE PERKINS LIVE:IPTV--Atlanta
In a statement issued on Monday, Vick's lead attorney, Billy Martin, said "Mr. Vick has agreed to enter a plea of guilty to those charges and to accept full responsibility for his actions and the mistakes he has made.
"Michael wishes to apologize again to everyone who has been hurt by this matter."
The NFL on Monday condemned Vick's conduct as outlined in the charges and said it was conducting its own review. The league has the right to add a further suspension beyond any jail time Vick may have to serve.
Purnell Peace, 35, and Quanis Phillips, 28, pleaded guilty last week before Judge Hudson to one count involving the dog-fighting ring, which prosecutors say was run from Vick's property in Virginia.
The judge set sentencing for the two men on Nov. 30.
The only other defendant, Tony Taylor, 34, pleaded guilty late last month and also agreed to cooperate with prosecutors in the case against Vick.
Vick, a rare talent who threw for 20 touchdowns and ran for more than 1,000 yards last season for the Falcons, lost major endorsements following his indictment. Nike suspended the release of a new Michael Vick shoe that had been set to hit stores this month and Reebok stopped selling his jerseys.
He has been heavily criticized in the media and by animal rights groups.
"We totally condemn the conduct outlined in the charges, which is inconsistent with what Michael Vick previously told both our office and the Falcons. We will conclude our own review under the league's personal conduct policy as soon as possible," the NFL said in a statement.
"In the meantime, we have asked the Falcons to continue to refrain from taking action pending a decision by the (NFL)commissioner."

Georgia's Needs To Apologizes for Role in Slavery
Georgia Needs To Apologizes for Role in Slavery:
ATLANTA, Ga. (Mar.18, 2007) (NPE) - Virginia's lead in apologizing for its role in slavery. After pressure from Lawmakers and the leadership of Atlantaâs NAACP Chapter. Republican Gov. Sonny Perdue (R) Georgia, with the Senate leader for approved an apology resolution, he expects a similar measure will be approved in the coming weeks. âWe are working over the weekend to meet with Georgia legislators.â
The idea of an apology has gotten a cool reception from some Georgia legislators, but state Senate President Pro Tem Eric Johnson said he has been meeting with black leaders to craft a strategy and believes something could pass before the legislative session concludes in mid-April. NAACP Spokesperson, said âthe resolution says government-sanctioned slavery is ranks as the most horrendous of all depredations of human rights and violations of our founding ideals in our stateâs history."
Rep. Tyrone Brooks, D-Atlanta, and state Labor Commissioner Michael Thurmond, said they expected the apology would be combined with a proposal that would permanently designate April Confederate History and Heritage Month in Georgia. Johnson declined to comment on specifics.
A committee passed the Confederate history bill this week, sending it to the full Senate. Some black leaders said they were offended by the move, given that some leaders of the Republican-controlled Legislature indicated they didn't see the point of an official apology.
Johnson, a Republican, said he had been "arguing privately for awhile that Georgia ought to be at the lead and not forced into anything on the slavery issue."
"It's not that we personally, or our parents, participated in slavery, but the state of Georgia did," he said. Associated Press Writer Shannon McCaffrey contributed to this story
Georgia Apologizes will become the second state to express profound regret for role in states slavery.

One question: If justice is blind, does that mean color blind too?
When I first heard this story, the picture that flahed through my mind was the town I grew up in. The town with the "Negroes" who lived at one side and the whites who occupied the rest. The separation was an imaginary line, for the streets did no stop.
If a "Negro" came into the white side of town for whatever reason you could literally see the fear in his eyes. It was always a he, never a she. For the whites the same rule applied.
My Grandfather lived in La., and worked for the railroad. He never mistreated anyone, never talked down to anyone. If his crew had to eat outside, or drink from an old pump, he did the same.
His boss carried a big, thick stick because he was afraid one or more of hid "Negroes" would kill him. He had reason to be fearful.I wasn't afraid of the "Negroes", but I was definitely afraid of Mr. Day.
If you think this was back in the early part of the century, you would be wrong.
I thought we had come farther. Guess not.
Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.

It is unclear to me what Bell's past criminal record is. Two things stand out to me: that Bell was tried as an adult at age 17 and that in this trial his shoes were sought out as a weapon, because if you can't prove evidence of a weapon, then it would be a mis-trial. THis case was definitely handled the wrong way.
As far as the mayor and the residents of the small Louisiana town goes, their self-censored silence seems to tell a tale of its own.
Without knowing if a past record exists its hard to have an opinion any further. But if he didn't have a record, then without being seen as an attacker, and no other evidence to point to him as an attacker, the term railroaded comes to mind.
