Shocking video catches couple beating a restaurant owner and punching her 15-year-old daughter in the face because they were unhappy about their chicken being cold and they didn't get enough fries


Police are still struggling for words to describe the attack that took place in Baxley Thursday afternoon after a mother and her daughter were assaulted at their family-owned restaurant. 
When you leave veteran lawmen speechless, you've reached a new low.
It happened just after 3 p.m. at the Qwik Chick takeout stand next to U.S. Highway 1. Owner Jeanette Norris says it started when a couple ordered two meals. They complained that their chicken was too cold and that they didn't get enough fries. The owner checked the food and after more discussion, the female suspect attacked her, slapping and punching her in the face. The owner's 15-year-old daughter then walked out of the truck, where she was punched in the face by the male suspect. It knocked her off her feet. The couple drove away as two other customers got there. Police call the assault completely unprovoked. 
"I've been here, what, 41 years - 30 of them as chief. I have never seen anything like this. I've never heard of anything like this," said Chief James Godfrey, Baxley Police Department. 
Plenty of WTOC viewers who saw this video contacted Baxley Police to give them information on the suspects. Based on that, police are looking for Nathaniel Eric Smith and Latasha M. Smith. They have active warrants for aggravated battery and cruelty to children. They are considered dangerous and have a tendency towards violence.
Police say both suspects left in a cream or silver-colored 2007 Cadillac Escalade with tag number REU8495. Officials say the two have access to two other vehicles described as a silver 2004 Cadillac Deville 4s with Georgia tag number PVK5483, and a green 1996 Cadillac Deville 4s with Georgia tag number BXQ1673. They are described as a heavy-set, medium-height, black male wearing a black T-Shirt, red shorts, and a red cap, and a slender-built, tall, black female wearing an all black shirt, pants, and cap. Officials say they headed north on Highway 144. The Smiths have active warrants of aggravated battery and cruelty to children. 
EMS was called to the scene where both the owner and daughter received medical attention for the injuries they sustained during the incident. The woman suffered a broken nose. The daughter suffered bruises and a concussion. 
The victims say they get dissatisfied with customers at their business from time to time, but never anything even resembling what happened to them. Jeanette's broken nose tells only part of the story. After a few minutes of back and forth with the customers, she refunded their money. 
"She went beserk. They both lost it, him and her both; started cussing and beating on the window," Jeanette Norris said. 
The couple are identified by police as Nathaniel Eric Smith and Latasha M. Smith.
Norris went outside to tell them police were on the way when the woman started punching and slapping her in the face. What Jeanette couldn't see as she staggered inside was her daughter getting out of the truck to help. 
"One of my employees yelled, 'He's got her,' and that's when I realized he had hit her," Norris said. "Who does that? Who punches a child like she's a grown man standing there? He needs putting under the jail."
"The security camera footage that we put out tells it all. That's just pure brutality," said Chief Godfrey. 
The chief says they've been flooded with tips from WTOC viewers who recognized the suspects - something that makes the Norris' grateful. 
"You hear the old saying, 'people don't want to get involved.' They got involved," Jeanette Norris said. "Between Facebook, social media, and you guys at WTOC, it has been amazing the response we have gotten from people."
Anyone having any knowledge of the whereabouts of these suspects is asked to contact the Baxley PD at 912.367.8305, or the 911 Center at 912.367.8111 as soon as possible. Chief Godfrey is warning anyone who might come into contact with them to use caution.

Georgia Restaurant Owner & Teen Daughter SPEAK OUT After Being BEATEN By ANGRY CUSTOMERS Over Order!

Ohio State Recruit Breaks Internet With Wokest Shirt Ever

A 17-year-old created a buzz when he showed up on a recruiting trip to one of college football’s most vaunted programs wearing one of the blackest shirts of all time.
Cleveland19 reports that Tyreke Smith, a high school junior football player, is one of the most sought-after athletes in Ohio. The Cleveland Heights High School junior is a four-star defensive end being recruited by some of the country’s top universities, including Ohio State. Tyreke showed up for a recruiting visit to the Columbus, Ohio, school Saturday sporting a T-shirt that read, “I hope I don’t get killed for being black today.”
Thousands of people liked and shared his tweet and other pictures of him wearing the tee on various news and sports sites.
Tyreke says that he knew he’d be photographed during his visit. “I decided to wear the shirt because I wanted to bring attention to the epidemic of blacks being killed at an alarming rate,” Tyreke told OSU sports site ElevenWarriors.com. “What we would like to do is have people talk about these issues to reduce the murder rate of African Americans.”
Some think he might have worn it to remind people of the Tamir Rice case, which happened in Tyreke’s hometown of Cleveland. Others speculate that it was in response to the Philando Castile verdict, which happened the day before Tyreke’s visit. Even though Tyreke says he wanted to bring attention to all of the cases, some think it might have been a slight advertisement for his brother’s company, which sells the shirts.
However, the young, large, strong, athletic-looking 17-year-old might have worn the shirt with the incredibly poignant message for an entirely different reason:
Maybe he actually hopes he doesn’t get killed for being black today.

Outrage as airline passenger posts racist Snapchat story of Sikh man whom he mistakenly believed to be a terrorist

A SERIES of racist pictures of an airline passenger who was mistakenly believed to be a terrorist have gone viral, infuriating social media users.
The Snapchat user posted a string of captioned photos when he was seated in front of a passenger wearing a turban.
In the pictures, believed to have been shared earlier this week, the man singles out the Sikh passenger, writing: “Never mind I might not make it to Indy”.
 In another post, the man took a photograph of the sleeping Sikh passenger as he sat behind him.
“Update I’m still alive,” the caption reads. He included an emoji suggesting he was relieved.

 When the passenger left his seat, the man posted a selfie, writing: “OK he just walk to the back of the plane then to the front then to his seat”.
The caption ended with a string of emojis suggesting he was alarmed by the development.

The alarming pictures were shared on Twitter by Simran Jeet Singh, who is an assistant professor in the department of religion at Trinity University and a senior religion fellow for the Sikh Coalition.
“This series of snaps should give you a sense of what it’s like for anyone who appears to be Muslim to travel by plane,” Mr Singh wrote on Twitter, referring to the Snapchat incident.
The post has since been retweeted more than 7000 times, generating more than 8400 likes and 760 comments.
Mr Singh has written on issues such as xenophobia, racial profiling and hate violence.
He shared his own experience with other social media users, confessing he had also been subjected to “misguided fears”.
“As a Sikh who flies frequently, I’m no stranger to the uncomfortable stares and misguided fears people have of me,” he wrote.
“I try to live my life by the Sikh maxim, ‘Fear none, frighten none.’ I think about this teaching often when I travel.
“I look forward to the day when our kids can travel freely, without having to worry about what others might be thinking or saying about them.”
Mr Singh said he often felt “self-conscious” when removing luggage from the overhead compartment or using the rest room during a flight.
 Some users on Twitter said they were “utterly disgusted” and “embarrassed” by the incident.



The Sikhs are a religious group that have become increasingly targeted as victims of hate crimes since the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.
The religion was founded in northern India in the 15th century and is distinct from Islam and Hinduism.

'I love teaching, I love sex': Christian kindergarten teacher, 21, who starred in $2,500-a-time PORN films is fired after refusing to give up her raunchy night job



A Christian kindergarten school teacher was fired for refusing to give up her side job as a $2,500-a-time porn star.

Nina Skye, 21, declared 'I love teaching, I love sex' before a showdown with shocked bosses who confronted her over appearances in films with titles including Amateur Allure and Swallow Salon.

The auburn-haired beauty, who romps with men and women in the videos, said she was a 'really good teacher' and did not see why her hobby should bar her from the classroom.
But senior teachers at the unidentified pre-school thought differently, and said her profession went against the religious values they espoused.

Having sex was her dream job, Ms Skye said, and she was very reluctant to leave the industry. 

She told Fox: 'It goes against their views of fornication, like sex before marriage and that's what I'm doing. 

'They say it goes against the paper I signed, saying I wouldn't do that.

'They were really trying to pull me away from staying in the industry. They just really wanted me out. They offered help and advice, but I don't really want out.'

Ms Skye said she liked having an open-minded outlook, adding: 'I love teaching and sex. If I can get away with doing both, then I will.

'It's easy money. For my very first scene, I just did a regular boy on girl and I got paid $2,500 on the spot.

'I never had that much money, ever, just handed to me in my life. 
'There's a really big stigma associated with it, and how our society views it.

'But that's not how I am.  I'm really open-minded. Super open-minded and not judgmental.' 

Check Out This High School Teacher’s Hilariously One-Sided AP Government Summer Reading List

Administrators at a high school in Alabama have removed a teacher’s highly partisan summer reading list for his advanced-placement government and economics students.
The summer reading list, compiled by Spanish Fort High School teacher Gene Ponder, contains 31 books and tracts all — or virtually all — written by decidedly conservative and libertarian authors.
There’s “Libertarianism in One Lesson,” an excellent essay by David Bergland, and Ronald Reagan’s “Abortion and the Conscience of a Nation” (which was published while he was president).
There’s also “End the Fed” by Ron Paul, “Guilty” by Ann Coulter and “God & Government” by Chuck Colson, President Richard Nixon’s “hatchet man” who later became an evangelical prison leader.
In addition, there are two books by conservative radio host Mark Levin and no fewer than five books by Michael Savage, another conservative radio host, including “Liberalism is a Mental Disorder.”
The president of the local board of education, Shannon Cauley, said she learned about the reading list through social media.
“I saw a concern and addressed it with the Superintendent,” Cauley wrote on Facebook, according to Gulf Coast News Today.
“As a courtesy, the school principal called to let me know that the list had been removed and assignment cancelled,” Cauley also wrote. “He’ll be sending an email to all Senior students/parents to notify them that there will be no summer reading assignment for this AP government class.”
Baldwin County school district superintendent Eddie Tyler also issued a statement repudiating the summer reading list.
“Mr. Ponder’s reading list that is going around on social media has not been endorsed by the school system,” Tyler said, according to Gulf Coast News. “The list has been removed by the teacher.”
Tyler assured parents that the district will do a better job of vetting future summer reading lists.
Ponder, the teacher, ran unsuccessfully to be the lieutenant governor of Alabama in 2010. He ran as a Republican.

Boerne man renounces ABC News, shows support for Trump with large billboard


A Boerne man is making his voice heard loud and clear by renouncing ABC News and recent news coverage of President Donald Trump with a large billboard at I-10 and Buckskin Drive.

It reads:

"ABC News:

I grew up with you. We are through. The Russians didn't elect Donald Trump. I did."
The billboard was paid for by Kyle Courtney, according to a spokesman with his company Wellstar Groundwater Technologies.

Courtney released the following statement to SBG San Antonio:

“ABC News was the only channel I watched as a child growing up in Texas but I think they have lost touch with America and forgotten the working man. They don’t represent our voice anymore. Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign was funded by the Clinton Foundation in close coordination with the media, and now we’re seeing them try to fix what they couldn’t fix during the election. They are doing everything they can, night after night, to create narratives and sway people’s direction to impeach Donald Trump. Our democracy is at stake when a major political party and the media are in bed together. I’m not asking anyone to boycott the Democratic party. I’m not in the brainwashing business, but the liberal media is.”

The spokesman said the billboard went up today and will remain up for about two months. He also said Courtney is contemplating whether to keep it up longer and may change the message if it does stay up.

According to PR Newswire, Courtney has been in the water well drilling business for more than 30 years and has drilled more than 600 wells in the San Antonio area.

The Truth About Canned Soup


Soup is a must-have for chilly winter days and to battle anything that ails you, be it a nasty cold or a case of the winter blues. Plus, now that it comes in cans, cups, and drinkable bottles, it's easy to grab on the go. But what are you getting when you slurp down that tomato soup, beefy stew, or other canned favorite? Often sold under a healthy halo, processed soups are full of a lot of ingredients that won't be listed on the label—such as industrial chemicals, pesticides, and weird food additives.
BPA
BPA is a chemical used in cash-register receipts and some plastics, but also in the epoxy resin liner of most metal food cans. The bummer? It's most likely leaching into your favorite soup, exposing you to the synthetic, estrogen-like substance that has been linked to obesity, breast and prostate cancers, and aggression and other behavioral problems in young girls. The amounts of BPA used in the cans varies drastically, but an alarming new study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association suggests we're ingesting dangerous levels of the hormone-mimicking chemical when we eat soup even once a day. The study's authors asked some participants to eat Progresso soup for lunch five days a week, while others ate homemade soup. All of the canned soup eaters had detectable levels of BPA in their urine at the end of the experiment. What's even more striking is the amount of the chemical detected after downing a can of soup once a day for five days. Compared to those eating fresh soup, the group eating canned soup saw BPA levels jumped more than 1,000 percent.
The huge spike in BPA seen after eating canned soup is "unlike anything we've ever seen," says Laura Vandenberg, PhD, a postdoctoral fellow of biology at the Center for Developmental and Regenerative Biology at Tufts University in Massachusetts. "The levels are shocking."

Sodium
Americans are seriously bingeing in the sodium department, a dangerous practice considering excess sodium doesn't just leave us looking bloated, but also can lead to life-threatening heart attack and stroke. A big reason sodium is such a problem has to do with deceptive labeling practices, explains Bonnie Liebman, nutrition director at Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI). "On most canned soup labels, you'll see numbers in the 800- to 900-milligram (mg) range," she explains "That's already about half a day's worth for most Americans, and that assumes you're only consuming an eight-ounce serving."
Seriously, when have you eaten just half a can of soup? Probably never. And a recent survey showed that most people consider a full can of soup to be one serving, when most labels say the can contents serve two or more. Even when you eat a low-sodium soup that contains 400 mg of sodium per serving, you wind up with twice that amount if you actually eat the entire can in one sitting. If you're still going to go for canned soup, be aware of the serving sizes, and don't fall for claims like, "25 percent less sodium!" The sodium content still could be dangerously high

Flavor Enhancers
Monosodium glutamate (MSG) brings out wonderful flavors in canned soup, but if you're one of the many people sensitive to this flavor enhancer, the food additive could lead to a crushing headache. Animal studies have found that MSG is toxic to the brain, and researchers believe it causes migraines in people because it dilates blood vessels and impacts nerve cells in the brain. Along with headaches, people sensitive to MSG often experience pressure in the neck and face, sweating, abdominal cramps, and tingling in the fingers.
If MSG makes you sick, you should also look out for ingredients like "natural flavoring" and "hydrolyzed vegetable protein," two other additives that also contain glutamate, according to CSPI's Food Additives database.

Pesticides and GMOs
As our food system becomes more industrialized, more and more farm chemicals are winding up not just on our food, but also in the food we eat. Within the last 20 years, chemical farmers have overwhelmingly adopted genetically modified seeds, or GMOs, for crops like corn and soy, two common ingredients in canned soup. (There are more than a dozen different ingredients derived from corn and soy.) These seeds have been genetically engineered to withstand heavy sprayings of Roundup, and when that happens, the pesticide is absorbed by the plant and winds up in your food. Roundup is used so heavily, in fact, that scientists recently detected it in rain. Constant low-level exposure to the pesticide can cause obesity, heart problems, circulation problems, and diabetes, says Warren Porter, PhD, professor of environmental toxicity and zoology at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. As if that's not bad enough, the process of genetic modification, when a plant's DNA is changed in a lab, not by nature, is known to cause spontaneous abortion and infertility in animals and has been linked to the skyrocketing rates of food allergies in people over the past decade.

Healthy Soup Tips:
Making homemade soup may be a little more time consuming than popping open a can, but it comes without the chemicals, and you can freeze it for those days and nights when cooking a full meal isn't feasible. Try one of these healthy soup recipes or just wing it. "Clean Out the Refrigerator" Soup is a great way to use up about-to-go-bad vegetables or small bits of pasta or dried beans you have lying around.
When you do make homemade soups, start with homemade stock. Like soup, it's a lot easier to make than you realize. "Use a pressure cooker," advises Joy Manning, nutrition editor of Prevention magazine. "Many stores sell chicken backs and necks for pennies a pound and, if not, a few pounds of whole chicken wings makes for a particularly rich stock." Or, save the bones, skin, and leftovers from the last chicken or turkey you carved up and use those. Cook everything at high pressure for 1 hour—"throw in a halved onion, a carrot, and a stalk of celery or two if you have them," Manning suggests—strain with a fine sieve, and you have several quarts of amazing stock ready for your next soup-making session.
Alternatively, you can buy commercial stocks and soups packaged in glass or cartons, which are BPA free, or dry soup mixes that need nothing more than some water and an hour or two on your stove. Always opt for organic brands.
