People have really got to start being more mindful of where they keep guns in the house when they have small children…

According to a news release from the Clarksville Police, the shooting happened around 3:15 p.m. on Sunday. The gun had been left on a coffee table. When the child was unattended, he grabbed it and accidentally shot himself.
The mother was booked into the Montgomery County Jail at 7:00 p.m and was released on $5,000 bond.

May 22, 2012 By Madam Prezident Leave a Comment

First it was the IRS-Now Prison! We praying for you Young Buck!

According to TMZ: Young Buck won’t be a free man much longer — TMZ has learned the rapper has agreed to serve 18 months in prison for gun possession, following a massive IRS raid on his Nashville home in 2010.

According to the deal, Buck agreed to plead guilty to possessing firearms and ammunition as a convicted felon.

According to legal docs filed in the case, federal agents recovered the firearms in Buck’s house during a 2010 raid – when feds busted into the house to repossess a bunch of the rapper’s belongings to settle a $300,000 tax debt.

According to the docs, feds found a .40 caliber Glock 22 in Buck’s home along with ammunition. As a convicted felon, Buck is prohibited from possessing ANY kinds of firearms.

As for the felony rap — Buck was convicted of assault with a deadly weapon after stabbing some guy at the Vibe Awards in 2004.

The judge signed off on the plea deal already but won’t formally sentence the rapper ’til July 13th.

Rapper Young Buck Gets Evicted

May 21, 2012 By Madam Prezident 1 Comment

Young Buck can’t PAY for a break-literally!!! The Man is trying to take everything! Even his name!

TMZ is reporting that the rapper Young Buck, who once rapped about how much money he has, is in serious financial trouble. The rapper has been booted out of his Tennessee mansion and the IRS is after him for $300,000 in unpaid taxes.

Buck has been ordered to vacate his home within the week. Court documents show that the judge agreed to let Buck sell his mansion, as long as he used the proceeds to pay his IRS bill.

Buck was shot at in early March, which basically makes this a really bad year for him.
Maybe one day rappers will learn how to get an education so they don’t keep getting ripped off by their accountants and lawyers who actually did go to school.

Facebook Bans Mother For Posting Beautiful Photos Of Baby Born Without A Brain

May 20, 2012 By Madam Prezident 1 Comment

A Tennessee mother is angry after Facebook banned photos of her son born with a severe birth defect:

Grayson James Walker lived just eight hours after he was born on Feb. 15. He had anencephaly, a fatal condition in which a baby is born without parts of the brain and skull.
Heather Walker recently posted photos of Grayson without his hat on, igniting an apparent firestorm by doing so.
“Not long after, Facebook deleted them because of the content,” she told WMC-TV. “They allow people to post almost nude pictures of themselves, profanity, and so many other things but I‘m not allowed to share a picture of God’s beautiful creation.”
To protest Facebook’s actions, Walker and her friends re-posted the photos — earning Walker a 24-hour ban from the site .Among Facebook’s “community standards” are bans on content that is violent, threatening or depicts self-harm, but Walker said there’s nothing that prohibit the photos she posted.
Walker learned of her baby’s fatal birth defect 16 weeks into her pregnancy. Though doctors said she could choose to abort, she decided to carry her son to term, turning to her faith to help with the months ahead.
“My husband and I, we started prayer and we knew that God knew since the beginning of time that he had us for this,” she told WMC in February.
The day she delivered, a professional photographer from the non-profit organization Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep was on hand to capture the family’s short time with their third child.
“If you’re my friend and you want to see the picture then look at it, but if you don’t, just like any TV show or anything else you watch, if you don‘t want to see it you don’t have to,” she told the station. “But I want to share this with people just like any other person wants to share their baby or their child.”

So Keisha “BadBetoychWillTakeYoMan” Jenkins can post all her ratchett pictures and not get banned but this couple can’t post loving photos of their disabled child? There are people who have babies that are deformed and who are not dying. Does facebook not allow parents to share pictures of these children with their friends and families? Just when we thought Facebook was having the best week ever. This is just sad!

Man With 30 Kids Begs The Courts To Help Him With His Child Support “I Can’t Afford Them All!”

May 19, 2012 By Madam Prezident 16 Comments

This guy is something fricking else. We’ve reported on this fool before. Meet Demond:

And you thought Octomom had her hands full—a Tennessee man who has fathered 30 children is asking the courts for a break on child support.
Desmond Hatchett, 33, of Knoxville has children with 11 different women, reports WREG-TV.
The state already takes half his paycheck and divides it up, which doesn’t amount to much when Hatchett is making only minimum wage. Some of the moms receive as little as $1.49 a month. The oldest child is 14 years old.
Hatchett explains how he reached such a critical mass: He had four kids in the same year. Twice.
Back in 2009 when Hatchett was in court to answer charges that many of the mothers were not receiving child support, he had 21 children. At the time, he said he was not going to father any more kids, but he ended up having nine more in the past three years.
The state cannot order Hatchett to stop making babies. He hasn’t broken any laws, according to the report.
