Toronto says black kids suck at school. They have studies that prove it. So their solution? Create black-only schools with an “afro-centric” education model. Only the leftists in Canada don’t call it segregation. They call it “understanding and developing cultural models for marginalized students.”

Not that I would ever advocate criminal activity- but if you are going to do it, don’t resort to a gun, a mask and a stick-up note. Use a keylogger and remote access to a PC instead. They might have gotten away with it too, if not for an alert teller.

A crazy woman who had an online fling with a Sacramento man turned to Craigslist to hire a hitman to rub out her lover’s wife. Maybe the heinous looking bitch can blame it on the “change of life” and hot flashes.

I stumbled onto a real gem of a collection of YouTube videos last night and just had to share. The videos are shot by Bill, aged 60, a retired Vietnam war veteran and former Army Ranger from Richmond, Virginia. Simply put, the man plays with toys.
