TWINS DIE IN FIRE AFTER MOM LEFT THEM ALONE TO GET WEED

By Anonymous -
The mother whose 3-year-old twin boys were killed in a house fire Jan. 4 after she left them home alone for nearly an hour has been charged with involuntary manslaughter, endangering the welfare of children and reckless endangerment by Allegheny County Police in Pennsylvania.

Dalawna Berran-Lett of North Braddock surrendered to police Tuesday afternoon and is being held at the Allegheny County Jail.

The victims, Ky’heir and Dy’heir Arthur, were buried on Friday. The Allegheny County medical examiner’s office has determined that one boy died of burns and smoke inhalation, while the other died of smoke inhalation and carbon monoxide poisoning.
Ms. Berran-Lett, 32, told police she left the boys watching television — after locking the front door’s deadbolt with her key — to go look for her 15-year-old daughter Mariah, who she believed had stolen a baggie of marijuana from her purse. She told police she did not want to bring the boys outside with her to the school bus stop to wait for Mariah because “it was too cold outside.”
While Ms. Berran-Lett was gone, from approximately 2:45 to 3:50 p.m., the boys turned on the only working burner of a grease-encrusted stove, according to District Attorney Stephen Zappala Jr. The grease caught fire over a 15-minute period and the fire engulfed the wood-frame and Insulbrick house within another 15 minutes, he said.
By the time Ms. Berran-Lett got home, her rental house was in flames and surrounded by firefighters. Her daughter was standing outside.

The Jan. 4 fire was not the first time Ms. Berran-Lett had left the boys home alone, according to police. Ms. Berran-Lett told police she left them alone about two weeks before the fatal fire while she walked to a store to buy rolling papers so she could smoke marijuana, according to a police criminal complaint. WTF!
She was only gone for 20 to 30 minutes, she told police, but when she returned home, she found the boys upstairs and smoke pouring from the kitchen. The boys had gotten a rack of ribs out of the freezer, placed them onto the stove top, turned on the burner and tried to cook the ribs, she told police.

FOX NEWS HOST REFUSES TO BOARD PLANE WITH BLACK FEMALE PILOT

By Anonymous -
conservative commentator and author Ann Coulter has lost her mind! She refused to stay on board a Miami to New York flight after learning the pilot was a Black woman. According to witnesses, Coulter was concerned the experienced, decorated pilot may have gained her position as a result of affirmative action and wasn’t fully qualified to fly. The incident began when Coulter boarded the American Airlines flight and took up her first class seat. After a trip to the bathroom, she noticed the pilot was a black woman and became immediately distraught. According to passengers, at that point Coulter stood at the front of the cabin and began screaming her concerns to the entire flight as they finished boarding. “Aw come on people, a black woman flying a plane? You know she got that job through affirmative action. Am I the only one worried about this? I mean hello? Our lives are at stake here…” The confused passengers weren’t sure what to make of Coulter’s outburst, and rema

After pouring thousands of dollars into her decrepit house, Tocco Collins made the heartbreaking discovery that she had been seriously scammed. The mother of 12 had waited patiently for her landlords to deliver on their promises to fix the house’s holes, broken windows and burned out light box, CBS Atlanta reports. But after seven months, Collins learned that the phonies she had been paying $600 a month in rent didn’t own the home and had also skipped town. The actual owner had no idea her home was being rented out. “Step by step, I’m trying to make some effort,” Collins told the news outlet. “Right now I’m lost.” The Atlanta mother and her children are now homeless. They’re also at risk of getting broken up by child services, a devastating fate that do-gooders are trying to prevent. Members of Occupy Atlanta are raising money for the family to buy a new home, and volunteers said they would help renovate the new residence after it’s secured. Getting duped by a

Larry Smith, producer of some of the most cherished hip-hop records of the Eighties, including Run-D.M.C. 's first two albums, died Thursday at the age of 63. Radio host Combat Jack broke the news on Twitter , writing: "Just spoke to his family. RIP Larry Smith, the original King of Beats who passed away last night." A Queens native, Smith began his career as a session musician and quickly struck up a partnership with Kurtis Blow after playing bass on "Christmas Rappin'."  Smith would continue to play on a number of Blow's tracks, co-writing a few as well, including the MC's breakthrough record, "The Breaks,"  which became the first rap record to be certified gold.

The two co-produced a handful of tracks for Jimmy Spicer – including the oft-sampled "Money (Dollar Bill Y'All)"  – before helping make hip-hop history with Run-D.M.C.'s
