The ReadyWriter

Venisha Brown, daughter of the late James Brown (pictured in both photos above), is being held in the Richmond County Jail, in connection with a hit-and-run in North Augusta, South Carolina. Authorities say Brown was wanted for hit and run and possession of a stolen vehicle. The 47-year-old is being held on a more than $5,000 bond for a string of charges. She’s accused of stealing a car on one side of the river and trying to run over a co-worker on the other. Augusta, GA and South Carolina are so close, the states are just a river and a bridge apart.

Brown is said to have stolen a church vehicle/van, running down a church worker with the van and various other violations and charges.

Brown is facing several charges in both South Carolina and Georgia. She will be charged with grand theft auto, assault and battery, leaving the scene of an accident and receiving stolen goods.

Venisha Brown is the one daughter of James Brown who can emanate his dance moves so well. She squared off her father’s dance moves with M.C. Hammer in honor of her father at his funeral services in 2006.

Paterno stripped of titles in death…Ontop of Penn State Penalties…

The ReadyWriter

NCAA president Mark Emmert hit Penn State with a $60 million dollar fine and a 4-year suspension during a press conference.

Saying Penn State was too big to fail, Emmert spared Penn State the dreaded “death penalty.” Instead, he stripped the school of its football wins from 1998 through 2011 — which places Joe Paterno behind football legends Eddie Robinson and Bear Bryant as the most winningest coaches in football history.

In addition to losing 1 year in football revenues, the NCAA also imposed a 4-year bowl ban on Penn State. The NCAA will allow Penn State football players to transfer to other schools where they will be eligible to play immediately.

The announcement came one day after demolition crews tore down the Joe Paterno statue on the Penn State campus. Paterno, who died in January, is accused of turning a blind eye toward the child molestation charges lodged against his former coach Jerry Sandusky.

Mass shooting at “Dark Knight” Movie Premier

The ReadyWriter

I woke up to breaking news this morning, that a lone gunman dressed in riot gear burst into a movie theater in Aurora, Colo., at a midnight showing of the Batman film “The Dark Knight Rises” and methodically began shooting patrons, killing at least 12 people and injuring at least 50.

The suspect, James Holmes, 24, of Aurora, was caught by police in the parking lot of the Century 16 Movie Theaters, nine miles outside of Denver.

Witnesses in the movie theater said Holmes crashed into the auditorium through an emergency exit about 30 minutes into the film, set off a smoke bomb, and began shooting. Holmes stalked the aisles of the theater, shooting people at random, as panicked movie-watchers in the packed auditorium tried to escape, witnesses said.

Police said 10 victims died inside the theater, while dozens of others were taken to local hospitals, including a child as young as 6 years old.

Holmes was wearing a bullet-proof vest and riot helmet and carrying a gas mask, rifle, and handgun, when he was apprehended, according to police. Holmes mentioned having explosives stored, leading police to evacuate his entire North Aurora apartment complex and search the buildings early this morning.

Witnesses watching movies in theaters next to the one where the shooting took place said bullets tore through the theater walls and they heard screaming.

I think it’s a damn shame, when you can’t even be safe in a movie theatre these days.
