…..And this is a new trend that’s happening…..the Wildlife Crime Control Bureau had a feeling something rotten was going on….because they went to several mauling sites….and noticed foul play was afoot….the body of a woman was found near her village….and bits of her clothing was found about a mile away in the tiger reserve….and tractor tracks leading into and from the jungle showed that the body had been relocated….tigers in the Pilibhit Reserve are allowed to run free….so if people happen to venture in there….they are not eligible for money from the government….but if someone is attacked outside the borders….then there family would receive some cash….but when seven deaths…of people from the same village kept popping up….the Crime Control people said…. “Yo man, something ain’t right.” …..so after they did some more digging, a bunch of villagers were accused of deliberately sending old people into the jungle so they would be lunch for a tiger….and instead of denying the charges….the people in the village said that the victims volunteered to forfeit their lives so that their families could have a better life.
PROFESSIONAL RUNNER OUTRUNS TWO BEARS WHILE TRAINING IN THE WOODS……That’s no surprise….the brother is from Kenya….when is the last time you saw a runner from Kenya….lose a long distance race in the Olympics…..those bears didn’t have a chance….after about 500 meters….the bears probably said…. “Man, screw this, let’s go scoop up some squirrels for lunch.”
FIVE PEOPLE HURT AFTER A STRING OF ACID ATTACKS IN LONDON…..Now that scares me….since refugees started coming to Europe….and most countries do not know where some of them are….because the boarders are wide open….and with Donald Trump opening Pandora’s box of hate and violence….during his campaign….while the world was following and listening to his evil rhetoric…relationships between the races has changed….confederate flags are very popular over here….and Anti and Neo groups are growing….and just to be clear….the majority of the crimes are not being committed by refugees….a German man recently pulled out his gun and pointed it at a black man’s head who was sitting on a bus outside of Hamburg…..his reason for doing this….was because the passenger was black….the majority of the crimes in America over the past years were perpetrated by those the press refuse to call White Terrorists…..and the same is happening in England…..an Austrian politician ran a campaign to promote racism…. I was explaining to my brother and my niece what you have to deal with when you live in Europe….there are so many different cultures living together over here….and you have to pay attention….because you never know what someone’s mind is thinking…..these recent attacks are sick….and scary….I always ask Nicole…when she’s on the subway….please do not stand near the doors….what happened to those people in England…can happen at any time….and it only takes one person…who is having a bad hair day….to toss a jar of acid….or anything through the door….and it could wind up hitting her…or me…..or anyone…no matter where I’ve been or where I’ve lived….I always paid attention to my surroundings…..now I have to really pay attention….casually walking down the street is a thing of the past….random attacks are happening everywhere….five people shot dead in Jerusalem….11 people killed at a children’s party in Mexico… two tourists killed and four wounded in Egypt….US student beaten to death in Greece….Europe….Australia….Canada….and back home….the only good news I read today was…an elephant was rescued from the ocean eight mile off the coast of Sri Lanka.
THIS SCHOOL FOR JUSTICE TRAINS SEX TRAFFICKING SURVIVORS TO BE LAWYERS….The School for Justice was launched in April….by the Dutch anti-trafficking group called “Free a Girl” and provides funding and other support to women who have escaped underage sex trafficking…..and prepare them for an education at universities…where the girl’s will earn a bachelor’s degree in law…..the goal is to empower former victims and change how India’s legal system fights trafficking….because all too often….the perpetrators aren’t brought to justice…..I’m definitely down with this.
BLACK POWER ART SHOW OPENS IN LONDON….I wish I could see this exhibit…..this art show is about the American Civil Rights movement and portrays the politics of the black identity….it’s called “Soul of a Nation: the art of Black Power”….it examines the triumphs and tragedies of the civil rights movement in the US during the 1960’s….to the 1980’s…and if any of you happen to be in London…you can go to the Tate Modern Museum….send me an email and let me know what’s up….and….if you also happen to be in Bern, Switzerland….there’s a Nazi-era art exhibit at the Bern Fine Arts Museum…..and….if you happen to be in Paris, France….there is one of the largest exhibitions of contemporary African art at the Louis Vuitton Foundation….there’s more than 35 artists from a dozen different countries on display.
CELEBRATING NATIONAL ICE CREAM MONTH AT EMACK & BOLIO’S……You have got to be kidding me….they still exist?…..man that was my favorite joint back in the day when I went to school in Boston….right there on Newberry Street…..and now they have a place in Brooklyn?….oh, we are finding this place the next time we’re home….and I hope they still have my favorite flavor….Mozambique Spice….I’ve been thinking about having a scoop since 1976.
