Man Tied Drugs To Penis Then Peed On Cops

Human dignity can be lost in one moment...

Officers approached a car after spotting it parked with its lights turned off in an area known for drug trafficking, police said. Drugs were allegedly spotted by officers at the feet of the passenger.

After bringing 23 year old Ray Woods, of Philadelphia back to the Sharon Hill Police station, officers asked the suspect to drop his pants after they spotted a large bulge in his jeans.

When officers attempted to relieve the suspect of his burden, Woods freaked and PEED all over the officer’s hands. “I tried to remove it. Unfortunately, and I don’t know if it was nervousness or not, but he started urinating all over.”

Corporal Eiserman gave Woods the benefit of the doubt, saying that he probably did not intentionally pee on a police officer (though he doesn’t look too bothered in his mugshot). The incident did not result in additional charges.


“In 14 years, I’ve seen it down their pants, in their a—, but I’ve never seen it tied to their penis. I couldn’t believe it. I guess they figure the police officers aren’t going to check down in that area.”

Life can be hell without a disciplined inner life...


Just when we were starting to believe he was really back, singer El DeBarge was arrested Tuesday in Los Angeles in an apparent drug bust. Apparently, DeBarge was allegedly attempting to unload some of his stash when he was spotted by a cop. Source

Trayvon Martin's Murder - Yvette Carnell's take on Russell Simmons


 A well known pitfall serious meditation is the creation of Excessive Bliss. This has nothing to do with the character of an individual. It's simply a hazard that requires further training. The person who becomes "Blissed Out" is often unaware. Their ego blinds them by constantly interpreting everything and everyone else as lacking insight. Their heart becomes unable to grasp the gravity of circumstances that affect those around them.

Excessive Bliss is easily remedied. The person must realize his or her ego is creating a false impression of the world. If the meditator is powerful or wealthy Excessive Bliss can create a formidable challenge. The ego mistakes wielding money and power as proof its ideas about the world are true.

This is like a successful singer who thinks everybody else sings poorly because they're lazy. Even if the singer funds singing camps and other people's careers, they continue to think people lack commitment. The meditator afflicted with Excessive Bliss likewise condescendingly thinks people are uninformed, which is seen as being out of touch by others.


Your Black World's Yvette Carnell on Russell Simmons:

"Don’t get me wrong, I’m fine with Simmons financially supporting a movement, but only while remaining in the backdrop. But Simmons, like so many other so-called leaders, never met a camera he didn’t like, and never had a thought he didn’t want to share with the world. And since Simmons is not self-aware, which is odd for a meditation enthusiast, he has no clue that he, his Rush Card, and his blood diamonds, make him far too compromised a person to stand at the center of any principled movement.

Nevertheless, I fully expected to hear from Simmons after Trayvon Martin’s murder, and of course, I wasn’t disappointed. Simmons took to Twitter to add this tidbit to the conversation black people are having about Trayvon Martin’s slaying:
'Trayvon Martin didn’t die so we can create a race war he died so we can promote better understanding. We must start honest dialogue.'" Source

Meditation enthusiasts, like Christians, are human beings. They practice what they preach to the best of their ability. For reasons I've written about over the past decade, the intricacies of meditation still remain far from mainstream Black culture. No problem. Some cultures have taken centuries to master meditation. For the time being, it's good to have all opinions on the table. Hopefully Ms. Carnell's sentiments and Mr. Simmons advisement can be the beginning of a purposeful dialogue.

Morgan Freeman to Marry His Step-Granddaughter?



For a very long time, some thought it was just a nasty rumor that actor Morgan Freeman was dating his 27-year old step-granddaughter, E’Dena. It has been reported by various media outlets that the two have maintained a 10-year relationship, which says that they started dating when she was just 17-years old.

Yahoo reported back in 2009 that Freeman was planning to marry the woman and that once Freeman’s wife found out about the affair, that’s when he filed for divorce. Source
