Jamaican Gangster Dudus Coke’s Ex-Lieutenant Acquitted

Christopher ‘Dudus’ Coke
According to Jamaica Observer– Harry McLeod, the reputed ‘ex-lieutenant’ of former Tivoli Gardens don Christopher ‘Dudus’ Coke, was yesterday acquitted of several criminal charges as the prosecution was unable to mount a case against him.
The 46 year-old, otherwise called Harry Dog, was acquitted of charges of larceny, receiving a stolen motor vehicle, and forgery when he appeared in the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate’s Court.McLeod, who was represented by Peter Champagnie and Kemar Robinson, was acquitted after the prosecution said it was unable to make out a case against him, prompting the court to order the return of his vehicle.

Charges against McLeod came after the vehicle was allegedly found in Tivoli Gardens with 4,000 rounds of ammunition in it during the May 2010 operation to apprehend Coke, who was wanted in the United States on drugs and gunrunning charges. The vehicle, with McLeod’s documents, was allegedly found in front of Coke’s Presidential Click office.

This acquittal comes two years after McLeod was freed of ammunition charges after 42 rounds of ammunition were allegedly found in his Oxford Road, New Kingston apartment when he was held in 2011.

He was arrested after the police listed him as a “major person of interest” in relation to crimes committed in the Kingston Western Police Division.

Hillary Clinton’s Health Now Becomes A Big Concern For Voters

According to Fortune Magazine, voters are now officially reaching worried about Hillary Clinton’s medical fitness.

A new Morning Consult poll finds that the Democratic presidential nominee’s health scare on Sunday, when she was forced to leave a September 11 memorial service early and was videotaped nearly collapsing while getting into her car, has already begun shifting voters’ views about her wellness. Clinton’s campaign revealed that she was diagnosed with pneumonia by her personal physician last week and felt dehydrated at the event, but that the candidate will be back on the campaign trail soon.

There are still a number of open questions about both major party nominees’ health and medical histories. For instance, it’s unclear whether or not Clinton received the pneumonia vaccinations recommended for everybody over the age of 65; Trump has barely released any empirical data about his health at all aside from a bombastic and unusual one-page doctor’s note from last year, although his campaign says more information will “soon” be forthcoming. (The full extent of that data will not, however, be disclosed during an hour-long interview between Trump and celebrity Dr. Oz Mehmet about Trump’s “personal health regimen” set to air Thursday—although the real estate mogul reportedly surprised the audience with a brief one-page summary of a recent physical during the taping.)

So far, there’s no evidence voters are particularly concerned about the Republican nominee’s health, even though he would be the oldest first-term president ever elected Clinton would be a close second behind Ronald Reagan and the poll suggests voters are increasingly concerned about her wellness.

If it ain’t one thing, its another. This tweet puts it all into perspective.

Kids Say Clowns Chased Them From Georgia Bus Stop

Per various news reports, more “creepy clowns” have now migrated from the woods of North and South Carolina to the woods of Georgia.

According to WRDW, now several kids in Georgia say they were chased away from their bus stop Tuesday morning by people dressed like clowns.

The kids were reportedly walking to the bus stop at about 6:30 a.m. when they saw at least two men dressed in black with a clown mask and a red wig.

The kids said they saw the men coming toward them between two trailers, so they started running.

“And I told my brother to run and scream as loud as he can,” said 12-year-old Cameron Frails.

They were able to make it away and get to their parents, who called 911 and alerted local authorities.

Clowns have been sighted in several different locations to date, most notably in North Carolina, South Carolina and now, Georgia.

Though several of the sightings have been proven false, police say the investigation is ongoing and they will continue to follow up on leads.

“My mom is going to take us to school and drive us up to the bus stop from now on,” Frails said.

I can’t even begin to explain how spooky this story is. Is this some kind of weird cult or what? What’s even more terrifying is that the motives of these clowns is very unclear. Are they just looking to scare people (as in some kind of bad Halloween farce) or are they really some kind of psycho creepy creeps?

In either case — hide your kids, FOR REAL!
