Cash App Founder Killed in San Francisco Stabbing

It’s getting wilder and wilder out here. Bob Lee, the creator of the mobile payment service CASH APP, was fatally stabbed and left to die on a San Francisco street.

For those outside of the UK and USA, CASH APP allows users to transfer money to one another using a mobile phone app. It’s hugely popular in the states giving companies like Western Union and Moneygram a “run for the money”.

Lee also had his hands in the cryptocurrency market.

As of now there are no clues as to why this tragedy occurred and no one has been held responsible for the murder.

It will be interesting to find out what happened here. It’s not everyday top executives are attacked and killed in street crime fashion. Crime analysts say stabbings are usually committed by someone the victim knows because of it’s personal nature.

Check back for more as this story unfolds. The crypto market has become quite dangerous. According to Grit Daily, 5 crypto billionaires and millionaires died in 2022. There have since been others.

NBC Bay Area — A high-profile Bay Area tech executive was killed in a stabbing in San Francisco.

Sign the Petition: Stop Bullying in Schools and Protect the Victims

Here is another campaign I can get behind.

Bullying is such a horrible experience that it should be a crime. Most of us have experienced bullying at some point in our lives and we can agree it doesn’t feel good.

Bullying is so bad in schools that kids as young as elementary school ages are committing suicide because of it. That is the case for a 13 year old student from Covington, Indiana. He was bullied so severely that he ended his life.

Check out this Change.org petition set up by his family to encourage the passage of HB 1483 in efforts to help stop bullying in schools and protect the victims.

Right now this bill is applicable to Indiana schools but hopefully with enough support other bills of its nature will take flight nationwide. There has to be something that can be done to stop excessive bullying and abuse especially in educational environments.

Sign here to help get the bill passed.

As the humanitarian crisis rages on in foreign countries like Haiti, gangs have overtaken the streets inflicting pure hell in cities such as the country’s capital Port-au-Prince.

Check this segment done by BBC News which goes behind the scenes to document the affect the gang violence is having on civilian life and how the Haitian government seems to be looking the other way.

Crime is rampant with murder, rape & extortion being some of the main daily operations. Corrupt politicians & police make it nearly impossible to contain and the Haitian people are at the mercy of it all.

In 2021, Haiti’s president was assassinated in a targeted & brutal home invasion. To date, no one has been held responsible for his murder.
