Poll Of The Day

Poll of the Day

An 11-year-old boy from Wisconsin, who allegedly shot his mother, Quiana Mann, in the face after she refused to buy him a virtual reality headset, has been deemed competent to stand trial as an adult. The decision was made by Milwaukee County Circuit Court Judge Jane Carroll, despite the boy’s defense attorney expressing doubts about his ability to assist in his defense.

The incident occurred in November when Mann was doing laundry at home. The boy reportedly accessed a gun from a lockbox in the house using a key. He initially claimed the shooting was accidental, intending only to scare his mother. However, upon further questioning, he admitted it wasn’t accidental and that he was angry with his mother for waking him up early.

The boy’s family members had previously raised concerns about his long-standing anger issues and frequent outbursts. They also revealed that he had been undergoing therapy. A day after Mann’s death, the boy purchased the virtual reality headset he wanted using his mother’s Amazon account.

The tragedy has deeply affected the family, with Mann’s sister, Rhonda Reid, revealing that the boy had a history of mental health issues and was receiving treatment for mood disorders.

The boy, who was charged with first-degree intentional homicide in January, is scheduled to appear in court on September 5 for a preliminary hearing. In Wisconsin, children as young as 10 can be charged as adults for certain severe crimes, including first-degree intentional homicide.

After multiple disputes with his town Marvin Heemeyer constructed a concrete/steel armor-plated bulldozer “Killdozer” to destroy those who had sided against him. His rampage destroyed 13 buildings & was unstoppable by Police/SWAT until the dozer stalled. He killed himself & was the only casualty

Heemeyer’s bulldozer was a modified Komatsu D355A, which he referred to as the "MK Tank" in audio recordings, fitted with makeshift armor plating covering the cabin, engine, and parts of the tracks.

Take 100% Responsibility for Yourself

(photo: kylo8)

Have you ever noticed that it’s easier to fabricate excuses and come up with reasons for your failures than it is to own up to your shortcomings and accept the consequences?

Me too.

And as I sought to become more disciplined in my own life, I realized that this was the #1 thing holding me back from developing the discipline I needed to succeed in life and business.

Scam Alert!

This is a common scam that is making its way around dating apps:

So I met this girl on a dating app, her age said 18 so I never asked her age. So I get her number and we’re texting for a little. Then she asks for a d¡ck pic out of no where I told her I don’t do tht and I would not send one.

I never once talked sexual with her so then she says “I’m abt to make a video for you” and I say “wat video😈” and she responds “😉”

Keep in mind I never told her to make any type of video or do anything sexual and never texted back

So then this morning I get a text saying my name and I ask who it is & the number says it’s “This is Steve Breanna’s father first off son I don’t appreciate you having my child’s number inside your phone and I will be more aware of this in the future! But I was called home from work because my wife caught our child making a video for you and once she caught her she dropped the Macbook and destroyed it. You’re at fault for this just as well as my child is and I’m willing to give you the chance to settle this with me before we let the agency take care of this they’re way are you willing to help me replace it?”

That’s exactly what he said. He also said that she was 15 which I had no idea. She lied about her age on a dating app so I wouldn’t know & I never thought to ask her & he’s saying if I dnt help him get a new MacBook he’ll call the authorities! Am I in the wrong? * I did actually call and talked to the supposed father he basically was saying his wife wants to press charges and the only reason he didn’t is because he wanted to come to me as a man.

I’ve alr sent $200 I’m jus scared tht this can ruin my life
