Teen Gets 14 Years For Murdering Friend Over Facebook Fight

Wednesday, June 23rd, 2010

A 16-year-old teen in London was sentenced to 14 years behind bars after authorities say he fatally stabbed a former friend over a Facebook dispute.

Police say the 16-year-old, who remains unidentified because he's a minor, got into a “fight” on Facebook with 18-year-old Salum Kombo.

The two boys reportedly had a “war of words” that reached a fever point when Kombo called the boy a "pu**y."

Prosecutors say the boy stewed in his anger for several days before arranging to meet with the older boy on December 20 to settle their differences.

When the pair met up at a local restaurant they went on a walk to talk about their issues but the boy surprised Kombo by taking out a knife and stabbing him in the chest.

When the victim fell to the ground before bleeding to death, the boy was reportedly heard yelling,

“Nobody calls me a pu**y, I don't care if I go to jail!”


He was sentenced Monday to a minimum of 14 years behind bars before being eligible for parole.
Judge Nicholas Loraine-Smith condemned the boy during his sentencing saying,

“You killed him because he called you a pu**y….You were angry and humiliated and you wanted to fight him and he was quite prepared to fight you….But you knew in a fair fight you would lose. This was not a decision you took on the spur of the moment. You thought about it for two or three days. You wound yourself up into a cold fury…Your friends tried to stop you but you would not listen.”

Family of Salum Kombo was in the courtroom Monday and rejoiced at the 16-year-old's sentencing.

Second Man Charged With Burning Down Black Church

Wednesday, June 23rd, 2010

In a case stemming back to the hours after Barack Obama was announced as the president of the United States, another white man has pleaded guilty to a crime against a predominantly Black church.

Thomas Gleason Jr., 22, pleaded guilty to setting fire and destroying a Black church in Massachusetts.

Changing his plea in U.S. District Court Tuesday, Gleason pleaded guilty to charges of conspiracy against civil rights; damage or destruction to religious property; and the use of fire to commit a felony.

Gleason was one of three that were responsible for the act committed on Macedonia Church of God back on Nov. 5 of 2008.

His sentencing is set for Oct. 1.  He faces a minimum sentence of 10 years on the charge of use of fire to commit a felony and a maximum sentence of 40 years on the charge of destruction of religious property.

Gleason also faces a maximum of 10 years on the conspiracy charge.

C0-defendant Benjamin Haskell, 23, made a plea deal last week that will see him spending nine years behind bars.

An FBI affidavit revealed when Haskell was asked why he was part of such a crime, he stated "because it was a black church".

According to the prosecution the men were acting out of anger once it was revealed that Obama was president and retaliated by setting the church ablaze.

In regards to how the men were caught, investigators stated that an informant led to the capture.

Cam'Ron Reveals Hesitation for Diplomats Reunion [Video]

Cam'ron speaks on the Dipset reunion...

After reports of tension that lead to a break up 2007-2008, all fans have been waiting for is the reunion of Jim Jones and Cam'Ron, which would mean the resurgence of The Diplomats.

2010 has slowly been shaping up to actually having the band back together, with formidable additions like Vado, but an interview with Funk Flex revealed that Cam was far from ready to quickly jump back on the wagon after everything that went down.

"To be honest, it was real hard because I'm some different dude.  Once I don't mess with you, I don't really mess with you.  I never responded to none of that anyway, I knew Jim since we were 4 years old.  Our grandmothers lived in the same building."
