Missing Woman – Stepha Henry – PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD

Posted in Uncategorized on 06/13/2007 by magnoliadiva

It’s AMAZING how much the media would rather talk about that rich, spoiled, whimp, Paris Hilton, than report on a missing 22-year old minority in Miami…

Here is a link to one of the stories on her.

Stepha Henry, a 22-year old honors graduate of John Jay College of Criminal Justice who is working her way to becoming a lawyer mysteriously disappeared after leaving Brooklyn to visit a relative in Miami, Florida.

On May 24, 2007, Stepha Henry headed to Florida to relax and have some fun. After working full time while studying hard for the LSAT (law school entrance exam), she was looking forward to visiting her aunt in Miami and attend a reggae concert.

She was last seen leaving her aunt’s home with an unknown man driving a black sedan, possibly a four-door Acura at about 1:00 a.m. on May 24, 2007, on her way to a Fort Lauderdale dance club called Club Peppers. Police spoke with the man who was last with Stepha, and he alleges they separated at the club.

She has not been seen since and did not make her return flight to Brooklyn on May 29.

She is black, has red hair and brown eyes and is about 5-feet-2 and 110 pounds, police said. Anyone with information is asked to call Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at (305) 471-8477 or NYPD Crime Stoppers at (800) 577-TIPS.

Please post this story and picture on your blogs since the media isn’t giving this story the attention it should.

Incompetence and Selfishness are what make the world go ’round

Posted in Uncategorized on 06/01/2007 by magnoliadiva

Let’s see…..where should I start with THIS one…..

1. A dangerously infected man managed to get through U.S. Customs and Border Protection even though his passport had been flagged in their computer system. I want to hear another reason other than he LOOKED like he wasn’t sick. I really don’t want to say this, but had he been a man of another race, his monkey-butt would have been RIGHT HERE in the US and would have never been allowed out!!

2. “I feel awful,” he said, speaking through a mask from his hospital room in Denver, Colorado. “I’ve lived in this state of constant fear and anxiety for a week now, and to think that someone else now is feeling that, I wouldn’t want anyone to feel that way.” Dude, quit lying! You are SELFISH and you SHOULD feel awful. You have now officially put HUNDREDS of lives in jeopardy because your own selfish-ness. One time, okay MAYBE we’ll let you slide, but more than that? Come on, dude……dish that lie to someone who LOOKS like they believe you (yeah, I said it).

3. “I don’t expect those people to ever forgive me. I just hope they understand that I truly never meant them any harm.” LIE LIE LIE!! You KNEW what you had and KNEW that it was contagious. The mere fact that you were quarantined and were able to walk around freely is a selfish act, within itself….next…

4. The border agent who processed Speaker’s entry on May 24 has been placed on administrative duties. FIRE that person! I am so SICK of incompetence that costs the rest of us the “comfort” that we are SUPPOSED to be afforded by paying taxes that go towards paying these folks to do a job!

5. Speaker, whom the newspaper did not identify, said he was aware he was placed on a no-fly list in the United States after his diagnosis with XDR TB, which is why he decided not to fly into a U.S. airport. Again, so the punk KNEW he had TB and tried to skirt the system…..COWARD!

6. Speaker’s treatment would likely cost $250,000 to $350,000, depending on whether he needs surgery. I HOPE this comes out of HIS POCKET and his insurance does NOT cover it! Complete NEGLECT should not be covered by insurance that we ALL share the premiums for! YEAH, I said it!

7. A spokesman for Denver’s National Jewish Medical and Research Center said Speaker was wearing a mask and was escorted by federal marshals when he arrived, but seemed normal otherwise. “He looked kind of like you guys, more or less,” spokesman William Allstetter told reporters. Looked like WHO? Oh, I get it. As long as we LOOK a certain way, we get different treatment in life…..right right…. I remember reading and experiencing something like that before….. whatever…

8. Patient considered at low risk of infecting others, doctor says. It’s called C.Y.A…….and you KNOW what that stands for!
