Kamisha Richards (pictured above), was stabbed to death by Kayla Henriques, pictured below.

Richards had recently loaned Kayla the sister (of her boyfriend) $20 to buy disposable diapers and milk for her infant – and became angry after learning the money was spent on other things.

The two then exchanged online insults through Facebook over the weekend, then the harsh feelings escalated through a series of text messages…

Kayla waited for Kamisha to come home from work last night, then stabbed her to death. Kamisha Richards was rushed to Brookdale University Hospital, where she was pronounced dead.

Kamisha Richards worked for JP Morgan Chase, her family said, and had hopes to apply to law school in the fall.

This story is not only sad and senseless but tragic in every sense.

“Cops Cleared In The Murder Of Danroy Henry”

The Pace University Football Player who was shot while waiting for friends outside of a bar in Mount Pleasant, New York.

A Westchester grand jury has cleared two police officers of any criminality in the controversial shooting death last year of a Pace University football player, prosecutors said today.

The Westchester County DA’s office said the probe, where more than 400 people were interviewed, yielded no indictments by the grand jury into the tragic death of Danroy Henry, Jr., on Oct. 17 outside a Mount Pleasant bar.

After hearing testimony and examining ballistics and toxicology reports, the grand jury declined to indict Officer Aaron Hess, who said he fired his gun to protect himself from the path of Henry’s car.

Officer Ronald Beckley, who also fired at Henry’s vehicle, was also cleared of any wrongdoing.

Investigators later determined that Henry had a blood-alcohol level of 0.13 — way above the state legal limit of .08 — when he was killed.

The DA said the investigation was conducted in coordination with three other law enforcement agencies, including the NY State Police, the Westchester County Department of Public Safety’s Forensic Identification Unit and the Mount Pleasant Police Department.

“Ruth Madoff Turned Away From Her Son’s”

The ReadyWriter

Funeral.

After she had flown from Florida to Greenwich, Conn., to attend a private memorial service for her son Mark (who had committed suicide in December), she was turned away by his unforgiving widow, Stephanie.

When Bernard Madoff’s Ponzi scheme collapsed, Mark and his brother, Andrew, warned their mother: It’s him or us, Ruth, 69, chose her cherished sons., until Bernie Madoff was beaten in prison in 2009. She returned to the 72-year-old swindler’s side, infuriating the two sons, who cut her out of their lives for good.

A source close to Ruth said, she now lives in a state of obscurity, using her maiden name and dyes her hair red when venturing out to rent dollar DVDs or when visiting the public library.

Regardless to how Ruth’s son felt when he took his own life, her daughter-n-law has to live with the fact that, she denied his own mother some sort of peace before he was laid to rest.

“Gary Coleman’s Wife Living In Filth”

The ReadyWriter

Shannon Price, ex-wife of legendary TV star, Gary Coleman is living in complete filth! And she had the nerve to invite “Inside Edition” inside to see just how nasty and flithy she’s living.

Price lost everything after Coleman died last year, and had to move back to the home in Utah where she grew up.

“I lost everything when Gary died. It’s difficult…It’s embarrassing…It just sickens me and it’s not a healthy environment…Gary would be very upset if he knew I was living in this house.”

There is junk in every corner of the cramped one bedroom house and the decorations are still up from Christmas of 2009. Now that’s just lazy…

The entire family shares one very filthy bathroom. The porcelain sink is blackened with mold and red from rust. Toothbrushes and razors are piled up and the tub is covered with a thick film of grime.

There are dusty sacks of wheat, bought who knows when, piled on the top of the cabinets which are bursting to the seams with moth-eaten boxes of food.

How could anyone who is alive, healthy and have their strength, live like this?

The kitchen is so filthy and packed with junk, they can barely cook or sit down to eat.

I have no words…Actually I do, but I’m going to contain myself.

“President Speaks At Memorial In Arizona”

The ReadyWriter

Yesterday, U.S. president Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama attended a memorial service in Tucson, AZ.  Where the president visited Congresswoman Gifford in the hospital and remembered the 6 people killed, and 14 wounded during a Jan. 8 shooting spree where Gifford greeted her constituents on Saturday.

“Gabby opened her eyes for the first time,” Obama announced to thunderous applause. Obama was referring to Congresswoman Gabrielle Gifford’s, 40, who was shot in the head during an assassination attempt.

“What we can’t do is use this tragedy as one more occasion to turn on one another,” said Obama.

President Obama praised Daniel Hernandez for aiding Gifford after the shooting. The 20-year-old intern has only worked for Gifford for 5 days and assisted the congresswoman with his first aid skills after she was shot.

Obama concluded his emotional speech by remembering 9-year-old Christina Taylor Green: here was a young girl who was just becoming aware of our democracy; just beginning to understand the obligations of citizenship; just starting to glimpse the fact that someday she too might play a part in shaping her nation’s future. She had been elected to her student council; she saw public service as something exciting, something hopeful. She was off to meet her congresswoman, someone she was sure was good and important and might be a role model. She saw all this through the eyes of a child, undimmed by the cynicism or vitriol that we adults all too often just take for granted.

I want us to live up to her expectations. I want our democracy to be as good as she imagined it. All of us – we should do everything we can to make sure this country lives up to our children’s expectations.
