Fascinating! Especially "So hurt right now" and "Stop saying ignore them or that's just the way it is. Cause that's bullshit. Everybody knows an asshole check them for their hate."
— She gave herself a dangerous cocktail for a 4chan/troll crowd: she's showing that online randoms can work her up and she's committed to engaging with those randoms. With that combination she'll have plenty of fun with her boosted fame status ;D
..on hers and her followers' side it'll probably be spun as more work to be done against racism, but when you're an internet target it's not even about the message (whether that be racism, sexism, etc.) it's about mentally wrecking someone through whatever weakness that person presents. That's Internet 101, but she seems not to know..

..
"Milo Yiannopoulos banned from twitter over it... not sure what all he did"

Most of the anti-Milo articles say that his ban was a long time coming, but for Leslie Jones it sounds like he just talked about how she's playing the victim card..:
http://www...ter-leslie-jones-reports-milo/
"If at first you don't succeed (because your work is terrible), play the victim. [/] EVERYONE GETS HATE MAIL FFS"
[more tweets of his there; insulting, but nothing really ban-worthy]
Pretty sure Milo is a professional troll and may not even be gay (I suspect that he pretends to be gay to better illustrate ideological hypocrisies), but online bullying still needs to be protected! :D

Totes! Jesus was all like, "Guise, for realz. Don't let peeps play u like dat!" -- praise His name ;D

And double true! Seems like playing to pathos has become super easy nowadays. Trivial emotional issues get too much credit. I mean, I feel existential dread every day, but do I need a hashtag movement to fill the void with nonsense or can I instead be an adult and challenge myself to put the razor blade away not out of acceptance but out of general curiosity? ;D

NBC To Dramatize Menendez Brothers Murders In ‘Law & Order: True Crime’ Spinoff

In 1989, two brothers from Beverly Hills killed their wealthy parents in a gruesome dual murder. This is their story. And soon, you can watch actors recreate the crime on TV.

NBC has ordered a true crime spinoff of the long-running drama “Law and Order,” to be called “Law & Order: True Crime - The Menendez Brothers.”

At 10:30 p.m. Thursday night officers responded to Ballast Point Park in response to a complaint of trespassers in the park after closing time. When officers arrived they observed about 150 people still in the park playing the virtual game Pokémon GO.

Everyone was instructed to leave and all complied except for David T. Mastrototaro-Baermude. Officers asked him to leave the park several more times and he refused to do so. Officers then attempted to arrest the defendant for trespassing after warning at which time the defendant grabbed an officer's arm and pushed off. The defendant actively continued to resist further attempts to arrest him, almost pulling one officer to the ground. The officer deployed his Taser and was then able to gain compliance from the defendant who was arrested without further incident.

Mastrototaro-Baermude was arrested for Trespassing After Warning and Resisting Arrest.

Band of monkeys raid Thai polling place, tear up voter lists

BANGKOK (AP) — Election officials in northern Thailand think they can buy off a gang of monkey vandals with fresh fruit and vegetables, after about 100 macaques tore up voter lists publicly posted ahead of next month's referendum on a proposed constitution.

District official Surachai Maneeprakorn said a large population of the monkeys lives behind the Buddhist temple where the polling station they raided Sunday is set up in an open hall.

Local officials brought the animals food Monday, and hope that if that does not deter them, then newly installed sliding glass doors protecting the reposted lists might, said Phichit district election official Prayoon Jakkraphatcharakul.

"The glass cases should deter the monkeys, but if they're smart enough to find a way to open the glass door, that will be problematic," said Prayoon. "There were only a couple of lists left on the board by the time the police got there. Some of the monkeys were still even holding onto the papers."
==========

yeah, reward them with food for tearing up the paper... that'll teach 'em not to tear up the paper :p

MENDON, Vt. (AP) — Police in Vermont say a car ended up almost vertical when the driver swerved quickly in response to her GPS ordering her to "turn around."

The car was suspended almost vertically on guy-wires attached to a utility pole in Mendon on Wednesday night.

Police say 30-year-old Nabila Altahan of Dorchester, Massachusetts, was headed west on U.S. Route 4 when she passed her intended destination and the GPS gave sudden directions to turn around.

Police say Altahan reacted quickly to the instructions, leaving the road at a significant enough speed to propel the vehicle up the wires.

Neither Altahan nor her passenger was injured.

Lisa Machenberg says her teens are well-behaved and self-motivated, thanks to a technique she uses called “hypno-parenting.”

Machenberg is a licensed hypnotherapist in Los Angeles. “My children are able to use logic and reason,” she told ABC News. “They have a form of diligence or perseverance that you don’t see in other children.”


Machenberg’s son, Jake, admits he hasn’t always enjoyed Mom’s mind games.

“It could get a little crazy when she tries to kind of hypnotize us at every single possible situation that she can. It could get a little overbearing ― she gets in your head,” he told Barcroft TV. “But as far as things like getting into college, I think it was an advantage. ... I think it’s helped me, you know it’s helped me have control over my own mind.”

Machenberg is now charging $125 for hypno-parenting classes, but some experts are skeptical about whether it’s appropriate for kids.

New Delhi (CNN)- A man was beheaded and his wife hacked to death after a disagreement with a grocer, according to authorities in India.
The killings took place in the Mainpuri district of the northern Indian state of Uttar Pradesh Thursday, following an argument earlier that day.

The couple, who belonged to the lowest rung of India's caste hierarchy, had owed upper-caste shopkeeper Ashok Mishra 15 rupees (22 U.S. cents) but said they were unable to pay back the money, authorities said.

According to police, eyewitnesses said the couple, who were referred to as Bharat and Mamta, had told Mishra they would pay back their debt at the end of the day, once they had received their wages as laborers.

After a heated argument about 6 a.m. local time, as the couple headed to work in nearby fields, police say Mishra went home, grabbed an ax, and attacked the couple. Both died.

Not that I totally support the unchecked craziness of random veterans, but it's even more difficult to sympathize with young peeps who hide behind cell phones. Like instead of being present in a situation and dealing with a problem like a human being (which in this case seemed to be to simply recognize that these veterans didn't want these kids setting up a lounge and playing a game near a memorial?) they immediately call upon the Internet Panopticon to shame people into their idea of correct behavior :/
