OAS (the Organization of American States) Wants U.S. to Legalize Pot

On the Latin American street, the Organization of American States has always borne a reputation, not always deserved, as Washington's lackey. But the OAS, based in Washington, just tossed the White House a message it would rather not hear: It's time to seriously discuss legalizing marijuana as one means of reducing the western hemisphere's harrowing drug violence.

That conclusion, from a study presented last Friday in Bogota, Colombia, by OAS Secretary-General Jose Miguel Insulza, is one that a growing number of Latin American governments -- including Uruguay, which legalized marijuana last year -- are urging the Obama Administration to accept.

Having the motion seconded by Washington's "lackey" makes it harder to ignore.

FBI Agents Shoot and Kill MMA Fighter Being Questioned in Relation to Boston Marathon Bombings

Ibragim Todashev was shot and killed by an FBI agent overnight last night according to multiple news reports. Todashev was a professional MMA fighter according to Michelle Malkin who linked to his professional record and posted a video of one of his fights.

Here's the story from WFTV:

A friend of a man shot and killed by an FBI agent overnight said the victim was being questioned in connection to the Boston Marathon bombings. Khusen Taramov told WFTV the man's name was Ibragim Todashev, but the FBI has not confirmed that.

"He had a ticket from New York, [and] from there, he was going to go back home. They were pushing him, saying, 'Stay, don't leave.' They said, 'We want to interview you one last time and talk to you a last time.' And he decided to stay, and today's interview was supposed to be the last time, and they said they were going to leave him alone," said the victim's friend, Khusen Taramov.

...

Gunshots rang out just before midnight at the Windhover condominium complex near Kirkman Avenue and Vineland Road.

In a brief statement, an FBI spokesperson confirmed that the shooting involved one of their agents.

The FBI said their agent was conducting official duties when he opened fire on the man.

WESH had more on the supposed connection between Todashev and the Tsarnaev brothers, that being Todashev and Tamerlan knowing each other as both competed in MMA:

A friend of the suspect said his friend, 27-year-old Ibragim Todashev, was being investigated as part of the Boston bombings and knew bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev because both were MMA fighters.

The man claims he and Todashev were interviewed by the FBI for nearly three hours on Tuesday.

Below is a picture of Todashev in action:

 

Update from RT.com:

Kushen Taramov, a friend of the suspect, said he and Todashev were interviewed by FBI agents for nearly three hours on Tuesday in connection with the Boston Marathon bombings.

"(The FBI) took me and my friend, the suspect that got killed. They were talking to us, both of us, right? And they said they need him for a little more, for a couple more hours, and I left, and they told me they're going to bring him back. They never brought him back," WESH Orlando quoted Taramov as saying.

Taramov said after he concluded the interview, he came back to the apartments to discover there had been a shooting.

The FBI has not confirmed any link between Todashev and the Boston bombings, but Taramov told WKMG Local that the suspect had known Tamerlan Tsarnaev, who died from injuries sustained in a shootout with police days after the Boston Marathon bombing.

"Back when [Todashev] used to live in Boston, they used to hang out -- not hang out -- he knew him. They met a few times because [Todashev] was a MMA fighter and [Tsarnaev] was a boxer. They just knew each other. That's it." Taramov said.

Americans Have Been Turned Against Each Other - Walmart Security Guard Falsely Suspects White Father of Kidnapping His Own "Mixed" Kids

WOODBRIDGE, Va. -  A Prince William County man says he was suspected by Walmart security of possibly kidnapping his three young daughters -- all because they aren't the same race.

Joseph, who doesn't want his family's last name revealed, and his wife Keana are an interracial couple. They have been married for nearly 10 years and have three daughters: a 4-year-old and 2-year-old twins.

On Thursday evening, Joseph took all three girls to the Walmart in Potomac Mills in Woodbridge to cash a check. He says they weren't there long, but spent a few extra minutes in the parking lot while he buckled the girls in and then made a phone call.

Joseph says he then went to up his wife, Keana, and as they were arriving home, they were shocked to find a Prince William County police officer waiting for them.

"He asks us very sincerely, ‘Hey, I was sent here by Walmart security. I just need to make sure that the children that you have are your own,’” Joseph says.

 

"I was dumbfounded," says Keana. "I sat there for a minute and I thought, ‘Did he just ask us if these were our kids knowing what we went through to have our children?’

"He took my ID and asked my 4-year-old to point out who her mother and father were."

Joseph says the officer told them a Walmart security guard reported seeing him in the parking lot with the girls and thought it was strange.

Soon after the officer left, Keana called Walmart demanding an explanation. She says after asking to speak with a manager, she was transferred to a Walmart security officer who denied raising the alarm. The officer said it was a customer that came forward.

Keana says she was told, "Well, the customer was concerned because they saw the children with your husband and he didn't think that they fit. And I said, ‘What do you mean by they don't fit?’ And I was trying to get her to say it. And she says, ‘Well, they just don't match up.’”

Keana and Joseph say the incident at Walmart is troubling, but not surprising. They say throughout their courtship and marriage, they have been subjected to racism in various forms.

They say now that their daughters are in the picture, they are speaking out to help shed light on the ignorance that still exists. They want to show people that love sees no color, especially when it comes to family.

Walmart issued a statement saying: "There's still a lot of unknowns at this time and we're currently looking into the situation."

Joseph and Keana say they will never shop at Walmart again.
