An Illinois woman, along with her two sons, is accused of beating up a black teenager while yelling racial slurs at a campground southwest of Chicago over the weekend, ABC 7 reports. The three family members, in addition to beating the teenager, tried to drown him. The incident was captured on camera, which won’t work out well for the three attackers who are now charged with battery, mob action, and a hate crime.

Officers responded to a call of a fight in the area of the Canton Lake campground at around 4:35 p.m. Sunday and Carrie Weller, 42, and Corry Weller, 21, were arrested. Carrie Weller’s other son, Shane Weller, 19, was taken into custody on Wednesday.

“They started beating him up and held him underwater until he was pretty much not breathing,” the victim’s mother, Tina Foley, said. The couple’s alleged victim was a 15-year-old African American boy.

A witness present at the Cincinnati Zoo says the 450-pound gorilla that was shot and killed after a 4-year-old boy fell into his enclosure was not "hurting" the boy, but instead seemed to be "protecting him."

"The little boy, once he fell, I don't think the gorilla even knew that he was in there until he heard him splashing in the water," Brittany Nicely told ABC News on Sunday, explaining that zoogoers' screams drew more attention to the Saturday afternoon incident.

"The gorilla rushed the boy, but did not hit the boy," Nicely said. "He almost was guarding the boy, was protecting him."

Video obtained by ABC News shows the gorilla dragging the small boy through the water in the enclosure, and the zoo said that the fire department reported that "the gorilla was violently dragging and throwing the child."

Bernie Sanders’ accusations that Hillary Clinton is using her joint fundraising committee to skirt federal campaign finance laws are now proven.

According to a new Politico report, the Hillary Victory Fund has kept 99 percent of approximately $60 million it was supposedly raising for state Democratic Parties. Under the agreement signed by Democratic Party leaders in 33 states, the Hillary Victory Fund would solicit donations from super-wealthy donors for as much as $353,400.

The deal agreed to by state parties and the Clinton campaign allows for the first $2,700 raised by the Victory Fund to go to Hillary Clinton’s campaign. The next $33,400 is earmarked for the DNC, and the remaining funds are meant for state Democratic parties. Under this agreement, it was assumed that the DNC would spend that money helping each respective state party win down-ballot elections.

However, after the original distribution, the Clinton campaign is the sole decider of what happens to the rest of the cash.

Something's fishy here

The Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia is going to be sponsored by the worst of the worst. Healthcare lobbyists, proponents of fracking, and even Comcast will be hosting the event, as DNC chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz has decided to lift the convention’s ban on lobbyists. America’s Lawyer™ Mike Papantonio talks about the fall of the Democratic Party with Thom Hartmann.



Time to throw Pap under the bus, Hillary supporters

Let's see. . .what good liberals have been thrown under the bus this primary season by good Democrats that put party over principle?

Susan Sarandon.
Mike Malloy
Cenk Uyger
Rosario Dawson
Seth Macfaralane
Sarah Silverman
Thom Hartman
Most Bernie Sanders supporters (if not all)

I guess it's Mike Papantonio's time to get thrown under the bus for saying that Democrats are now Republican Lite.
