Kelly Beemer being dragged by cops
DALLAS (LALATE) – PHOTO. Dallas police are furious that drunk Officer Kelly Beemer (picture and video below) fired near them. Kelly Beemer is a 27 year old patrol officer. But last night, Beemer enjoyed a few too many of her favorite beverages during off duty hours. Two off duty Dallas police officers were called to the local bar where Beemer in a tank top had been drinking; they came to pick her up and bring her home.
Harmless, right?
Not so. It’s there that the violence erupted, all captured on video. As NBC Dallas reports, Beemer shouts “This is what you’ve wanted”, one officer responds “To take you home?” to which Beemer replied “To drive me out of my mind to where I have no … control, no control whatsoever. Isn’t this what you wanted?”
At that point, Beemer took out her official police issued gun and shot into the car’s floorboard. Police Chief David Brown is furious. He said today Kelly was acting “reckless” and “unacceptable” while the division added “Officer Beemer’s conduct is a disgrace to herself and the people trying to help her”.
No one was harmed during the shooting. Below is the video.
Destroyed Jesus Statue
A 6-story statue of Jesus, known as “Touchdown Jesus,” was struck by lightning today, Tuesday June 15. The statue was engulfed in flames and later collapsed.
Touchdown Jesus was located outside Solid Rock Church on I-75 in Butler County, Ohio. The statue had become a local landmark since it was erected in 2004.
The “King of Kings” statue, one of southwest Ohio’s most familiar landmarks, had stood since 2004 at the evangelical Solid Rock Church along Interstate 75 in Monroe, just north of Cincinnati.
The lightning strike set the statue ablaze around 11:15 p.m., Monroe police dispatchers said.
The sculpture, 62 feet tall and 40 feet wide at the base, showed Jesus from the torso up and was nicknamed Touchdown Jesus because of the way the arms were raised, similar to a referee signaling a touchdown. It was made of plastic foam and fiberglass over a steel frame, which is all that remained early Tuesday.
The fire spread from the statue to an adjacent amphitheater but was confined to the attic area, and no one was injured, police Chief Mark Neu said. The fire department would release a monetary damage estimate Tuesday, he said.
Travelers on Interstate 75 often were startled to come upon the huge statue by the roadside, but many said America needs more symbols like it. So many people stopped at the church campus that church officials had to build a walkway to accommodate them.
The 4,000-member, nondenominational church was founded by former horse trader Lawrence Bishop and his wife. Bishop said in 2004 he was trying to help people, not impress them, with the statue. He said his wife proposed the Jesus figure as a beacon of hope and salvation, and they spent about $250,000 to finance it.
This morning all that remained of the 62-foot tall Touchdown Jesus statue, was the charred remains of the internal frame that supported the structure.
Watch Jesus Statue Burn.
Are you wondering whats happening with your Facebook page, well your not the first of the kind.
The facebook website has been shut down with error. Not only US visitors but visitors from around the world are facing the same problem, i.e., They could not access the Face Book.
The same happened to me as well folks. Yep, i tried to login and it got logged in but i got the following error message from Face book page
and the website link was http://www.facebook.com/connect/uiserver.php
I think this is really Mean from face book owners. If they really are maintaining their website server or something, they could have atleast informed the users about the scheduled close.
This is why i like google the most!!!
Update :
Facebook is working fine now! The site was down for couple of mins.
My first reaction for this story is LOL. As for as my knowledge, an organisation employees people who are hot and s***.
Citigroup thinks different by dismissing a female employee for a crime which nature gave her.
After being dismissed unfairly ex-citigroup employee plaintiff has decided to take up the issue in the court.
It all started when the senior branch manager Craig Fisher and assistant branch manager Peter Claibourne began articulating inappropriate and sexist comments concerning plaintiff’s clothing and appearance, shortly after being employed by citigroup.
“The improper comments made to plaintiff by Fisher and Claibourne included, but were not limited to, advising her that she must refrain from wearing certain items of clothing, in particular, turtleneck tops, pencil skirts, fitted business suits, or other properly tailored clothing.
“In blatantly discriminatory fashion, plaintiff was advised that as a result of the shape of her figure, such clothes were purportedly ‘too distracting’ for her male colleagues and supervisors to bear.”
The filing also read, “In a regressive response more suitable for reality television than a white-shoe corporation in the 21st century, plaintiff was advised that these other comparator females may wear what they like, as their general unattractiveness rendered moot their sartorial choices, unlike plaintiff, whose shapeliness could not be heightened by beautifully tailored clothing.”
“Are you saying that just because I look this way genetically, that this should be a curse for me?” she told the Village Voice, which first reported her case.
In a statement, Citibank said, “We believe this lawsuit is without merit and we will defend against it vigorously.”
Citibank has not commented for reasons of employee privacy but added that the bank has “a strong commitment to diversity and we do not condone, or tolerate, discrimination within our business for any reason.”
I guess this is the first time that a storm has blown down a 200ft hole swallowing a building. At least one man was killed and others are missing after a three-storey building fell into a 200ft-deep sink hole in Guatemala City.
Tropical storm Agatha, the first named storm of the 2010 Pacific season, slammed into Guatemala and neighbouring El Salvador at the weekend, dumping more than three feet of rain in the region.
The enormous crater appeared while the city was being ravaged with high winds, torrential rain and deadly mudslides. Witnesses claim at least one man was in the three-storey building when it was swallowed up at a downtown intersection, and others remain missing.
Agatha has killed at least 146 people across Central America, and has sparked fears for the economies of Guatemala and El Salvador – as there has been widespread damage to the coffee crop in both countries.
‘I’ve got no one to help me. I watched the water take everything,’ said Carlota Ramos in the town of Amatitlan near the Guatemalan capital, crying into her hands outside her brick house almost completely swamped by mud.
As the sun came out, exhausted rescue workers hauled away stones and tree trunks from crushed houses as they fought to reach wounded people and find dozens still missing.
‘We just have shovels and picks. We don’t have any machinery to dig,’ said firefighter Mario Cruz, who had been working almost nonstop since Friday night.

200ft Sinkhole in Guatemala City
At least one man was killed and others are missing after a three-storey building fell into a 200ft-deep sink hole in Guatemala City.

Malaysian cops have reported that a ghostly apparition of a woman with long hair in a white dress has been haunting their police lock-up.
According to the Harian Metro, the ghost has apparently been disturbing officers on night duty at the Betong district police headquarters about 150km from Kuching, and it has also been seen around the police station.
“Its face is similar to an officer here. When it is given instructions, it would only keep quiet,” the Star Online quoted a source as saying. Such incidents have been happening ever since the police headquarters shifted to the current location in April.
The police sought the services of an ustaz to get rid of the ghost, and it was found the spirit of the woman was not in peace. “We were told that the woman, when she was alive, was a rape victim and was murdered here,” the police said.
Betong OCPD Deputy Supt Mohd Bukhori Saffai said the ghost had disturbed three policemen over the past month, with the latest incident taking place just last week.
