Reason First: Michael Avenatti Found Guilty, Justice and Selfishness Win the Day
When an attorney needs defense attorneys, that usually means that there’s real trouble. Former lawyer Michael Avenatti received a guilty verdict related to an extortion case involving the athletic apparel giant Nike amongst other charges. He faces at least two scores in prison at sentencing in June 2020. Known as the lawyer for adult film actress Stormy Daniels, Avenatti seemed poised to even one day ascend to the highest office in the land. Now, he is confined to a jail cell and allegedly being treated “like a caged animal.” Good. His smugness and subjectivism did him in this time. He just knew that his thousand dollar suits and slick talk would get him out of this jam. Such was not the case.

Reason First: Is it Selfish for Thou to Steal?
When it comes to the believers who entrust their funds in their houses of worship, they expect those dollars to be handled well. This, allegedly, did not happen in Florence Township, New Jersey. Taisha Smith-Dejoseph, 43, is accused of fraud and embezzlement among other charges as the former volunteer of the St. Paul’s Baptist Church. Any non-believer or devout parishioner can see that this is an egregious slight against the letter of the law. For Smith-Dejoseph to so brazenly steal and lie should disturb both camps.

Reason First: Who Killed James Brown?
The Hardest Working Man in Show Business, James Brown, met his end in 2006. Now, new evidence suggests that someone murdered Brown. District Attorney from Atlanta Paul Howard, is determined to find facts sufficient enough to evaluate the claims. A woman says that the case should be re-examined. Jacque Hollander brought the idea of Brown being laid down by wicked hands to Howard. She also alleged that Brown’s wife Adrienne had died under suspicious circumstances after a cosmetic surgery incident. Rumors had swirled like a tornado sweeping through the midwest but left only trails of misunderstanding and falsehoods. So, what does all of this mean? Most likely, people will not be as interested in an investigation as digging up old dirt will not bring Brown back to life. But with the Who Killed Malcolm X? Netflix special that shone a light on the assasination of the Muslim leader, folks, on the other hand, may crave clues as to the shady death of one of the world’s biggest acts.

Reason First: Why Hip Hop Needs to be a Culture
With its lack of guidelines, rules, parameters and a council, hip hop is a genre of music not a culture. Not only is it lacking a moral compass, but it was smashed a long time ago. Tankhead666 has been charged with attempted murder and second-degree murder for his involvement in the almost death of a restaurant employee and the death of his accomplice. In Florida, the stories of weird occurrences continue to surface. The rapper’s prominent facial tattoos led to the police eventually capturing the suspect. As out of control and wild as hip hop can get, it is with the individual like Tankhead that the blame should be placed on, primarily.

Reason First: Jussie Smollett Indicted, Bizarre Case Resurfaces
While a hate crime is an anticoncept, it should still be discussed. As a result of our twisted culture where people feel that America is a democracy (it’s a constitutional republic) and where young men allegedly lie about being attacked, it is easy to slip up and not regard the truth. For Jussie Smollett, the case from over a year ago which brought international attention has resurfaced with an indictment against the actor. How he contends against the facts will be a tough fight. And he will, it seems, ultimately lose.

You’re No Psychic, Pop
Onions sizzle and provolone cheese bubbles atop red strips of beef and gray tiny slabs of chicken. Like a surgeon performing work on a patient, a young lady flips over the contents of the grill with precision and ease. The scent of a cheesesteak and a chicken cheesesteak waft through the store. It is replete with a panoply of colorful chips, cookies, potato salad, macaroni salad, and potato salad. This is Casapulla’s in Newark, make that Glasgow, Delaware.

Reason First: Man Fails at Rationality, Faces Murder Charges
Talk about a bad day for Uber. No, its stocks did not tumble or have mobs of angry taxi drivers unable to compete with the ride sharing service attempt to tear down their headquarters. This was far more severe. First- and third-degree murder suspect Nicholas Forman, 23, allegedly abused his girlfriend, Sabrina Harooni, 23, to the point that he apparently stole her life. Once the deed had been done, he sent her corpse on a ride to the hospital via an Uber vehicle.

Reason First: What Does a Lost Tooth Have to do with Miseducation?
Aren’t teachers supposed to instruct students, not cause them to lose teeth, allegedly? A Florida woman who claims to be a teacher is embroiled in a fall out over one of her student’s teeth being forced out of his mouth. She has been released on $3,000 bond. But the story remains a mystery as to how the piece of dental makeup dropped from the young man’s mouth. The teacher, Cynthia Smith, 64, claims that a ruckus that occurred in the hallway involving other students (not her) lead to the dental loss.

Reason First: How can Snitching be Virtuous?
So you say that snitching is wrong? What about when it comes to an unarmed teen who just had the notion to create a music video? Jeremiah Dickey’s productive mind was silenced by rounds piercing the night air on a Brooklyn, New York City street corner. Why would it be evil to snitch on the coward who mowed this teen down in his prime? The levels of cowardice remain at an all-time high. People can be discreet and anonymous and be looked at as brave. But to just sit back and watch as a family grieves for Dickey and to know who committed this vicious crime is lower than a coward. Someone out there may know who did this. And the actual culprit should possess some shred of dignity to turn himself in to police custody.

Reason First: What Should Jaydayoungan Do?
Jaydayoungan has got problems. The recording artist with talent and a budding career has entangled himself in the clutches of the law once again. This time, it is for allegedly assaulting his pregnant girlfriend. Found in the attic of a residence, Jaydayoungan surrendered to law enforcement based on a warrant. What all of these truths spell is a rowdy, rambunctious kid who still holds on to youth like a thugged out Holden Caufield.

Reason First: What Would Happen if Azealia Banks is Found to be a Truth Teller?
Tears and shouts and screams emanating from an Instagram Live stream that showed rapper and singer-songwriter Azealia Banks alleging that her “racist” fellow apartment tenant brandished a gun in front of her. Hysterical and almost bloody comical, Banks voiced her profound disapproval for the supposed crime. Though it is difficult to decipher all of her words, she pours out her entire soul into the camera. Her claims could mean serious consequences for the unnamed offender.

Reason First: How Much Praise Should Cops Get for Stopping a Joyrider?
Life as a police officer can be dangerous. This is no secret. Everyday, the men and women in blue protect themselves, each other, and every law-abiding citizen from hurt, harm, or hazard in a criminal situation. In the wake of the Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl parade celebration, a vehicle with two occupants driving at a fast rate charged down the parade route. Police officers prepared themselves by employing “tactical vehicle intervention” (TVI). Police utilized stop sticks to no effect. By the end of the chase which lasted for several yards, the officers finally used a pursuit intervention technique or PIT maneuver to cease the advancement of the vehicle. This proved to be successful.
