Tomi Lahren blasts Berkeley protesters as "militant herd of triggered crybabies"


Tomi Lahren - 2/2/2017 I Stand with Milo - Final Thoughts

Tomi Lahren blasted University of California, Berkeley protesters as a "militant herd of triggered crybabies" for causing chaos that forced the school to evacuate Breitbart editor Milo Yiannapoulos before he was scheduled to speak earlier this week.

"I don"t care what your leftist posse or professors told you, it is not OK, nor is it protected expression, to attack people or set fires because someone else"s free speech offends you," the conservative Blaze host said on Thursday night during her "Final Thoughts" segment.

"It"s true, the unloving and intolerant left will stop at nothing, literally nothing, to ensure conservatives don"t have a voice on college campuses and as evidence by the riots a U.C. Berkeley," she said before playing a montage of video showcasing the violence on the school"s campus that occurred Wednesday night.

Livestreams and Twitter posts from the demonstration show protesters shooting fireworks at the building, and at least one fire small fire was set near the event. Windows were also reportedly broken. Police ordered crowds to disperse, and fired rubber pellets at demonstrators who refused the order.

A local reporter tweeted images of "fresh" spray paint last night that featured vandalism saying "kill fascist," "f Milo," and "kill Trump" at a Walgreens located near the campus. The violence was instigated by a group of "about 150 masked agitators," according to a UC Berkeley statement, indicating that the majority of the "more than 1,500 protesters" conducted themselves peacefully.

"See, what these animals, and yes I said animals, did last night proves my point. It proves Milo"s point and it"s part of the cancer spreading like literal wildfire across our nations college campuses," Lahren said. "I can"t figure out why some in my generation are willing to create chaos and incite anarchy over someone else"s free speech."

No arrests were made, according to multiple reports including CNN and the L.A. Times, but President Donald Trump tweeted, "If U.C. Berkeley does not allow free speech and practices violence on innocent people with a different point of view NO FEDERAL FUNDS?"

HOF rebuffs Terrell Owens, John Lynch; Kyle Shanahan, Frank Gore honored


#3 Terrell Owens | Top 10 Wide Receivers of the 2000s | NFL Films

Terrell Owens, the 49ers second-most prolific wide receiver ever, and John Lynch, the 49ers new general manager, did not make this years Pro Football Hall of Fame class.

Some positive, 49ers-related news did emerge Saturday, however. Their future coach, Kyle Shanahan, was named the NFLs Assistant Coach of the Year by the Associated Press, and 49ers all-time leading rusher Frank Gore won the NFLs Art Rooney Sportsmanship Award.

Shanahans honor wasnt a surprise as it came on the eve of Super Bowl LI, where he will serve one last game as the Atlanta Falcons offensive coordinator beforeofficially gettinghired as the 49ers coach, a move thats been assumed for two weeks. Gore has played the past two seasons for the Indianapolis Colts afterthe 49ers did not re-sign him in free agency.

While Owens railed on social media about not being a second-ballot Hall of Famer, Lynch quietly fell short in what was his fourth straight year as a finalist (and second straight year of making the cut from 15 to 10).

This summers enshrinement class instead includes running backsLaDainian Tomlinsonand Terrell Davis, quarterback Kurt Warner, defensive endJason Taylor, kicker Morten Andersen, safety Kenny Easley and Cowboys owner Jerry Jones.

Owens broke his badnews via Twitter, and he not hide his disappointment, ending initial tweets with the hashtag FlawedProcess. He latercalled the Hall of Fame a total joke, adding: Honestly, (it) doesnt mean anything to me to get in beyond this point.

Owens was a finalist for the second time in as many years since he became eligible after a 16-season career. He ranks second in NFL history with 15,934 receiving yards (Rice is first; 22,895 yards) and third with 153 receiving touchdowns (Rice had 197, Randy Moss 156).

TO shouldve been in the HOF the first time..the folks voting are a joke, current 49ers wide receiver Torrey Smith tweeted.

The Dallas Morning News Rick Gosselin,who is on the 48-person selection committee, announced that debate over Owens candidacy lasted 32 minutes, the third-longest behind thosemulling themerits of Paul Tagliabue (hour) and Jones (nearly 34 minutes).

A 1996 third-round draft pick by the 49ers, Owens played his first eight seasons there, and he ranks second in the franchise record book for receptions (592), receiving yards (8,572) and touchdowns (81, the same number he wore on his jersey). His 49ers career was also marked by highs and lows. He made The Catch II in a playoff win over the Green Bay Packers and set a NFL record with 20 receptions in Rices final home game in 2000. He also drew a weeksuspension for celebrating at Dallas midfield logo, and he also made critical statements of teammates.

Owens left the 49ers in 2004 amid a free-agency mixup and eventual trade to the Philadelphia Eagles, wholost in the Super Bowl thatseason despite Owens nine receptions and 122 yards on a recently fractured lower leg.

Owens concluded his career with the Dallas Cowboys (2006-08), Buffalo Bills (2009) and Cincinnati Bengals (2010).

As for Lynch, his Hall of Fame candidacy apparently didnt get a needed boost after surprisingly being named the 49ers general manager Sunday.

A Fox Sports analyst since 2008, Lynch entered the NFL 24 years ago out of Stanford, when the Buccaneers drafted him in the third round (82nd overall pick). Lynch made nine Pro Bowls as he played from 1993-2003 with the Buccaneers and 2004-07 with the Broncos. He spent the 2008 exhibition season with the New England Patriots.

After earning All-Pro recognition from 1999-2001, Lynchs best prize came the following season, when he captained the 2002 Buccaneers to the franchises first and only Super Bowl win. Lynch had only one tackle and one pass defense in that 48-21 rout over the Raiders. That playoff run began with a 31-6 division-round win over the 49ers, in which Lynch had three tackles while Owens had four catches for 35 yards.

Lynch long ago gained a spot in the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown. Specifically, his Erie Sailors cap is there from when he threw the first pitch in Florida Marlins history in 1992.

Shanahan is in his ninth season as an offensive coordinator, previously serving in that capacity for Houston (2008-09), Washington (2010-13) and cleveland (2014).

See Alessia Cara Impersonate Nicki Minaj, Lorde on "Fallon"


Alessia Cara - Wild Things

Ahead of Alessia Cara"s Saturday Night Live debut, the 20-year-old Canadian singer returned toThe Tonight Show where she staged her first TV performance in summer 2015 to play a few rounds of Wheel of Musical Impressions with Jimmy Fallon.

The Musical Impression Generator first forced cara to sing the nursery school staple "Skidamarink" under the guise of Ariana Grande also a Wheel of Musical Impressions veteran with Fallon then countering by singing the Empire Carpet jingle as Sting, an impression he"s done before.

Cara was next called up to perform The Fresh Prince of Bel Air theme as Nicki Minaj, and despite warning that her impression wouldn"t be worthy of the rapper, Cara ultimately nailed the impersonation. Fallon responded by singing "Eeny, Meeny, Miny, Moe" as Axl Rose to the tune of Guns N" Roses" "Patience."

Cara closed out the game by delivering a pitch-perfect Lorde impression on "Baa Baa Black Sheep."

In her interview with Fallon, Cara talked about how she predicted that she would eventually perform on SNL, and revealed her next big life goal: Voicing a character in an animated movie. The singer does lend her vocals to Moana"s "How Far I Go," even though she didn"t voice the character herself.

Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach"s Highlights @ NFL Honors Awards & Red Carpet

The Los Angeles Rams had been shut out of the NFLs weekly awards through two weeks of the 2016 NFL Regular Season.

Every week at NFL.com, the league nominates three players each for the FedEx Air and Ground Players of the Week, given to the respective best QBs and RBs from that week of play, five players for the Pepsi Rookie of the week, and five players for the Castrol Edge Clutch Performer of the week.

Finally in Week 3, the Rams made an appearance.

For coming up big with the final stop of the game, DE Robert Quinn was among the five nominees for Week 3. His competition:

  • Washington Football LB Sua Cravens: Late interception helped ensure Footballs two-point win over the Giants.
  • Miami Dolphins RB Jay Ajayi: His OT touchdown run won the game for Miami against Cleveland.
  • Baltimore Ravens K Justin Tucker: His fourth field goal of the game, a 54-yarder, put the Ravens ahead for good against Jacksonville.
  • Indianapolis Colts WR T.Y. Hilton: If QB Andrew Luck needed a huge play to jumpstart his season, perhaps Hiltons 63-yard game-winning TD was it.

So go give Quinn a vote!

Police arrest man in South Shore Plaza shooting


MALL VLOG!!! / South Shore Plaza

A 23-year-old man was arrested in Quincy early Saturday morning and charged with shooting at a gang rival inside the Macys in the South Shore Plaza Friday night, police said.

Michael J. Spence Jr. is being held on firearm charges including unlawful possession of a firearm and ammunition, and discharging a firearm within 500 feet of a building, according to a press release from the Braintree Police Department.

An official with knowledge of the investigation said the South Shore Plaza incident appeared to be connected to the fatal shooting of Jovani Devon Jeudy Jan. 21 on Nightingale Street in Dorchester.

No one was injured at the mens shoe department inside Macys when the suspect opened fire at around 7 p.m. Friday, law enforcement officials have said.

Forget yesterday"s news. Get what you need today in this early-morning email.

Gunfire sent hundreds of shoppers running, with many hiding in stairwells, closets, or storage rooms for fear there was an active shooter inside the mall.

Shots are fired at South shore plaza in braintree

Braintree Police Chief Paul J. Shastany said Friday night the shooting appeared to have been the result of an accidental run-in between members of two gang factions from Boston.

Spence allegedly fled the mall immediately after the shots were fired, though police from multiple cities and towns joined SWAT team members who spent hours searching the shopping center store by store to make sure he was not hiding there.

In addition to the current charges Spence faces, there is also a probation or detainer warrant on him, Braintree police said.

Police used surveillance videos to help identify Spence, according to the Braintree police statement.

The chaos that beset the mall Friday had lifted by Saturday morning when the malls employees returned to work.

Still, the violent outburst inside a bustling public space left some shoppers shaken.

Around 11 a.m., the loading ramp of a cargo truck hit the pavement in the crowded Macys lot with a loud bang.

Shopper Xiaia Campos of Dorchester flinched.

She jumped because shes scared of what happened last night, explained 31-year-old

Dorchester resident Yanira Valencia, Camposs daughter.

Valencia and Campos went to the mall Saturday to buy a gift for an upcoming baby shower.

In a Macys doorway, Valencia said she was on her way to South Shore Plaza to shop Friday night but at the last minute chose not to go.

For some reason, I just decided not to, Valencia said, her eyebrows raised.

She was unnerved after learning of the shooting and said she is grateful that she didnt end up shopping Friday night.

Its scary because we come here all the time, Valencia said.

Kalpita Rane, 30, smiled as she held the door for another patron after 11 a.m.

Think its safe? the Braintree resident quipped.

Rane said her friend sent a text message to her shortly after 7 p.m. Friday. Her friend was shopping at American Eagle and heard the gunfire.

The friends message read, Dont come to the mall, Rane said.

Rane said her friend first suspected the shooting was carried out by terrorists. A cool-headed American Eagle manager rushed panicked shoppers to a storage room, Rane said.

She kept them calm and protected them, Rane said.

Hingham resident Gerry Foley, 59, said the shooting happened a little too close to home.

When I heard about it on the news, the first thing I thought was that it was another terrorist thing, Foley said.

Foley praised law enforcement for responding to the incident quickly and with heavy manpower.

The police response was admirable, I thought, Foley said.

Lynette Williams, also 59, of Roxbury, said she is not one bit nervous about shopping at South Shore Plaza.

It was an isolated incident, Williams said on her way into Macys. I was just hoping that everyone was OK.
