A 68 year old Illinois cafeteria worker is being charged with heading a criminal enterprise and sent to prison after stealing $1.5 million worth of chicken wings from the school district where she served as the food director.

She pleaded guilty to the crime and was sentenced to a whopping nine years in prison.

For some damn chicken wings?! Wow. She must have been the plug because there is no way one person can eat 11,000 cases of chicken wings.

Sheriff Who Hired Deputy Killer of Sonya Massey Will Resign Due to Public Pressure

The murder of Sonya Massey by Sangamon County Deputy Sean P Grayson, an officer with a known criminal history, who was hired by Sheriff Jack Campbell has sent shockwaves through the nation and ignited a nationwide call for accountability and justice.

The online Change petition Demand Sheriff Jack Campbell’s Resignation and Investigation into Sangamon County Sheriff’s Department Hiring Practices has reached over 40,000 signatures and counting.

August is Montgomery Riverfront Brawl Month

August marks the one year anniversary of the Montgomery Riverfront Brawl and social media is deeming it a national holiday.

The brawl started when Dameion Pickett, the co-captain of the Harriott II, asked the operators of a private boat that was docked in its space to move, getting only “obscene gestures” and “taunting” in response.

As the men approached Pickett, he sent what is now known as a distress call —the hat toss. Black men and women of all ages came to his rescue. The end result was pure chaos resulting in one of the black men clearing the scene with a white folding chair.

In the end, no major charges were filed by the FBI who investigated the incident as a possible hate crime. Dameion Pickett kept his job and is has now become somewhat of a national treasure with black people showing up to take pictures and show him love.
