Asia Argento and Others Are Angry About Being in JT LeRoy Documentary

When
JT LeRoy, a young H.I.V.-positive novelist from West Virginia, whose
fiction supposedly mirrored his tough life as a teenage hustler, was
revealed in 2006 to be a literary hoax, many who had considered themselves friends or sought to help his career felt betrayed.
A
decade later, a documentary that includes calls with authors and
celebrities recorded secretly by the hoax’s perpetrator, Laura Albert,
has reopened old wounds and raised questions about whether documentary
films, increasingly seen as potent forms of journalism, should adhere to
the same standards as other types of reporting.
“This
is downright evil and disturbing,” said the actress and director Asia
Argento, who did not know that her conversations had been recorded or
that excerpts were in the documentary. “I am very angry.”
The
documentary, “Author: The JT LeRoy Story,” released last Friday,
recounts Ms. Albert’s trajectory largely from her perspective. After she
agreed to speak with the director, Jeff Feuerzeig, he discovered that
for years she had recorded her phone conversations, preserving cassette
tapes labeled with the names of people like Ms. Argento and the writers
Mary Karr and Dennis Cooper.

Two women were talking last night about cashing in on the "black lottery" when she sues her work place for something she called " working while black".

Years of hearing " we want to be treated equally"... now to....." black OR white" NOT all Americans.
A pair of enraged women beat and slashed a straphanger in a Manhattan
subway station — after he accidentally stepped on one of their feet,
police said Thursday. The 24-year-old Bronx man was riding a northbound A
train through Inwood around noon Wednesday when he made the mistake of
stepping on the woman, causing her female friend to begin arguing with
him, police said. When the subway pulled into the 207th Street station,
the women tried blocking the man from leaving the train. The victim made
his way toward the exit, but not before the women began attacking him —
with the one who had her tootsie stepped on swinging her purse at him,
while the other pulled out a box cutter and slashed him, police said.

The victim was taken to NewYork-Presbyterian Allen Hospital with wounds to his lower left back and right arm.
His attackers fled.

Police Chief Pens Heartbreaking Letter After Learning Son Allegedly Attacked Sikh Man
Rebecca Shapiro,HuffPost13 hours ago
A 71-year-old Sikh man was violently assaulted in Northern California during
A 71-year-old Sikh man was violently assaulted in Northern California
during his morning walk on Monday ― and a police chief later identified
his own estranged son as one of the perpetrators.
Union City Police Chief Darryl McAllister penned a heart-wrenching
open letter to his community on Wednesday, saying he was “disgusted” to
share that his 18-year-old son, Tyrone Keith McAllister, is a suspect in
the crime.
“Words can barely describe how embarrassed, dejected, and hurt my wife, daughters, and I feel right now,” McAllister wrote in a letter posted on Facebook.
“Violence and hatred is not what we have taught our children;
intolerance for others is not even in our vocabulary, let alone our
values. Crime has never been an element of our household, our values,
nor the character to which we hold ourselves.”
Footage of the attack, caught on a nearby security camera, shows
Sahbit Singh Natt walking along Greystone Park in Manteca, California,
when two individuals confront him. One of them, suspected of being
McAllister’s son, can be seen kicking Natt to the ground and then
kicking him repeatedly.
According to McAllister, Natt suffered “minor physical injuries.”
Police said the incident was a suspected robbery, but the San Francisco Chronicle reported
that detectives are also trying to determine if the attack was
motivated by hate. Manteca is located about 60 miles east of Union City.
Dr. Rajwant Singh, co-founder of National Sikh Campaign, said he was
“appalled” and “disturbed” by the recent attacks on Sikh Americans. A
50-year-old Sikh man was brutally attacked in California last week. That incident is being investigated as a hate crime.
McAllister described how he and his wife helped Manteca authorities track down his son and arrest him on Wednesday.
“Despite having the desire any parent would have in wanting to
protect their child, my oath is (and always will be) to the law and my
vow of integrity guides me through this horrendous difficulty,”
McAllister wrote. He shared details of his son’s journey over the past
few years, which involved running away, associating with a “bad crowd,”
participating in theft-related crimes, serving a stint in juvenile hall
and another 3-month sentence in adult jail. McAllister says his son has
not returned home in several months.
“It’s difficult for us to comprehend how one of three kids who grew
up with the same parents, under the same roof, with the same rules and
same values and character could wander so far astray,” McAllister wrote.
Within a few hours of the chief’s posting, the letter received
overwhelmingly positive feedback from commenters for its honesty.
Read the letter in its entirety below.
America does not do a good job of tracking incidents of hate and

Police chief's son, 18, charged with beating elderly Sikh man, smiles, flips bird in court: reports

The 18-year-old son of a police chief
in California’s Bay Area, who allegedly attacked a 71-year-old Sikh
man, appeared in court Friday, smiling and waving his middle fingers at
media cameras, a report said.
Tyrone Keith McAllister, estranged
son of Union City police Chief Darryl McAllister, entered the courtroom
and flipped his middle fingers at their camera, Sacramento's FOX 40 reported.
He appeared to be grinning, and made suspected gang signs while his hands were cuffed, the Record of Stockton reported.
"[W]ords can barely describe how embarrassed, dejected, and hurt my wife, daughters, and I feel right now," the chief wrote on Facebook. He also wrote that his son, who has spent time in both juvenile and adult jail, needs to be held accountable for his actions.
The younger McAllister and a 16-year-old companion allegedly confronted Sahib Singh Natt
while he was taking a stroll in Manteca, near Stockton in the Central
Valley, on Monday at about 6 a.m., and asked him for money.
Authorities said the pair kicked Natt to the ground.
Police said the video shows the suspect kick him at least three times
and that one of the suspects may have waved a gun.
The police chief and his wife worked with local police
to track down their son and the 16-year-old. The pair were arrested
Wednesday on one count of attempted robbery, elder abuse and assault
with a deadly weapon.
Investigators were still looking into whether the
attack meets the legal criteria for charging a hate crime, the Record
reported.
"As to whether it was just a crime or a hate crime, I’m
of the opinion that at this point, looking at the videos, that it’s
just a crime committed by some young people," Bobby Bivens, president of
the Stockton branch of the NAACP, told FOX 40.
Bail wasn't set during the arraignment. McAllister was scheduled appear again Aug. 17.
