“Amy Winehouse Father Believes She Died Of A Seizure”

The ReadyWriter

With any drug or alcohol addiction, when seeking to go sober it is imperative to seek professional help and Amy Winehouse’s father believes the singer died after suffering a seizure related to alcohol detoxification.

Winehouse, who had fought drug and alcohol problems for years, was found dead in bed at her London home on July 23. Her family says toxicology reports indicated there was alcohol in her bloodstream but it was unnclear whether it had contributed to her death.

Mitch Winehouse (Amy’s father) said Friday during a taping of Anderson Cooper’s new syndicated talk show “that traces of the prescription drug Librium, which is used to fight anxiety and withdrawal symptoms of alcoholism, were found in her body.”

“Everything Amy did, she did to excess,” he said on the show, which is to air as Cooper’s debut Monday. “She drank to excess and did detox to excess.” He said he regretted that his daughter – whose most famous song, “Rehab,” has her answering “no, no, no” when told to go to rehab – was trying to kick her alcoholism without a doctor’s help. He said “the periods of abstinence were becoming longer, and the periods of drinking were becoming shorter. It was heading in the right direction.”

“Racism Still Exists: Black Man Killed By White Teenagers”

The ReadyWriter

Two carloads of white teenagers drove to Jackson, Mississippi, on what the county district attorney says was a mission of hate: to find and hurt a black person. The hateful teens found their victim, James Craig Anderson, a 49-year-old auto plant worker and beat him to death!

The teens allegedly beat Anderson repeatedly and yelled racial epithets, including “White Power!” according to witnesses. This crime of hate continued as these demonic fools then climbed into their large Ford F250 green pickup truck, floored the gas, and drove the truck right over Anderson, killing him instantly.

Mississippi officials say it was a racially motivated murder. What the gang of teens did not know was that a surveillance camera was focused on the parking lot that night, and many of the events, including the actual murder of Anderson, were captured live on videotape.

As the teens were partying and drinking miles away from Jackson, Mississippi that night, in largely white Rankin County, Deryl Dedmon (the gang leader) told friends they should leave, saying “let’s go fuck with some niggers,” according to law enforcement officials. Then later laughed and bragged how he “ran that nigger over”.

The teens, just 18 years old, has been charged with murder and now faces a possible double life sentence. Calls to Deryl Dedmon’s attorney have gone unanswered.

None of the teens have issued a plea.

A crazed madman walked into a Rio de Janeiro middle school in Brazil on yesterday and massacred 10 girls and two boys. As the crazed madman lined the students up against a wall he yelled “I’m going to kill you all”.

The killer has been identified as Wellington Menezes de Oliveira, 24, a former student at the school, who arrived with two guns at 8:30 a.m and told staff members he was there for a lecture before he opened fire. The meyhem and chaos had the students running for their lives.

The gunman also had a white bedsheet and a suicide note that read “virgins should use it to wrap his naked body.”

“I must be seen as an authentic and faithful follower of God and there must be prayers at my grave asking God’s pardon for what I did so that Jesus will grant me the sleep of death for eternal life,” the note said. He added that, “he wanted prayers said over his grave.”

“We believe he was a psychopath,” said Assistant Police Chief Roberto Sa.

Simone Gold, 41, a hairdresser in Astoria, Queens said, she moved to New York eight years ago because the violence in Brazil is a big problem.

“One of the reasons I came to the U.S. was lack of safety,” she said. “I lived two years in Rio de Janeiro and I would never know if my kids would come home alive from school.”

This is Nakeema Craig, 20, and she was laid up with Larry Davis for two days, not knowing that his dead grandmother was stuffed in the closet.

Cops found the elderly woman’s body under a pile of clothes in the closet of her bedroom, just a few feet away from where Craig and Larry Davis laid up for two days, drinking and smoking pot with him and his friends.

“I was basically in the wrong place at the wrong time,” Craig told the Daily News on Thursday. “It’s real scary for me – I can’t believe I was laid up in the house the whole time with a dead body.” “I never saw his grandmother,” she said. “I didn’t know she was in the apartment the whole time.”

Cops cuffed Ms. Craig after they made the shocking discovery and began to ask her about Larry Davis, who has a history of arrests. Craig was released from the 25th Precinct after a full 24 hours of questioning.

“If he was in the house, he gotta know what’s going on, he had to know what happened to her ” she said. “And how could he feel comfortable with his grandma there like that?”

She said this bizarre incident taught her a valuable lesson.

“Never again am I going to go to a stranger’s home like that,” Craig said. “I was raised by my grandmother, and I’d never do that to her, to anybody!”
