Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

Sure, man, ask away. We both know what the answer is going to be.

A teenage girl reported that her stepmother sold her to be raped for $100 when she was 17 years old.

The buyer, she told the sheriff’s department, wasn’t just anyone — it was Police Chief Larry Clay.

Watched Kent State forced a fumble and score the first TD of the game and thought this was the game they’d have a chance… since then they’ve had 126 yards since and trail 24-7 🫤
