HUD Awards $38M To Fight Housing Discrimination
WASHINGTON – The U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) recently awarded $38 million to fight Housing Discrimina- tion. The awards were distrib- uted to more than 100 organizations under HUD’s Fair Housing Initiatives Pro- gram (FHIP).
Bay Area Legal Services, Inc., who was awarded $325,000, was one of 7 organ- izations in Florida who re- ceived funding.
Fifth Third Bank Agrees To $85M In Mortgage Fraud Probe
According to the Tampa Bay Business Journal, the Fifth Third Bancorp recently agreed to pay nearly $85 mil- lion to settle a civil fraud claims against it. The allega- tions centered around their mortgage loan practices.
The settlement also re- sulted in the bank changing its loan practices and fire employ- ees involved in the loans that were approved.
The case focuses on mort- gage loans that Fifth Third Bank certified as eligible for FHA (Federal Housing Ad- ministration) insurance be- tween 2003 and 2013. The FHA is a division of U. S. HUD (Housing and Urban Develop- ment).
However, it was later de- termined that many of the 1,400 loans were “materially defective,” which made the loans ineligible for FHA insur- ance. The problem with the loans were never reported to HUD, and resulted in millions of dollars in losses.
Based in Cincinnati, Fifth Third Bank agreed to pay $84.9 million to cover the losses.
The bank has 20 branch lo- cations throughout the Tampa Bay Area. In June 2014, it re- ported $3.68 billion in local deposits.
Wrong Drug Used To Execute Man....Really?
OKLAHOMA --- The wrong drug was used to execute a man convicted of raping and murdering a baby, it has been revealed.
Oklahoma used potassium acetate - not potassium chloride, as required under state protocol - to kill Charles Warner, who said his body felt like it was 'on fire' as he was put to death in January.
The state's governor issued a last-minute stay of execution last week to a murderer after officials discovered that potassium ac- etate had been delivered for his injection too.

CA Woman Punched Repeatedly Arrested Again
LOS ANGELES, CA — Marlene Pinnock, the African American homeless woman who was filmed being punched repeatedly by a California Highway Patrol officer last year, has been ar- rested again and taken to the Los Angeles County Medical Center for psychiatric evalu- ation.
She was reportedly spot- ted around 2:30 A. M. walk- ing on the shoulder of the busy I-10 highway. Officers picked her up and took her to Los Angeles Medical Cen- ter for mental health evalua- tion.
Marlene Pinnock made na- tional news after a highway patrol was captured beating her on the side of the road.
Sgt. Jose Nunez, a public information officer based in Los Angeles County for the highway patrol, said, “They made verbal contact with her and she quickly became verbally uncooperative, didn’t want to respond to what they told her. As they neared her, it escalated so they needed to take physical control of her.”
Upon arrival to the Los Angeles Medical Center, Pinnock was placed on a 72-hour psychiatric hold.
Thousands Attend Million Man March
On Saturday, thousands ... mostly Black men ... and women gathered on the Na- tional Mall to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Mil- lion Man March and call for policing reforms and changes in black communities.
Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, who spearheaded the original march, lead the anniversary gathering at the Capitol called the “Justice or Else” march.
On the lawn outside of the Capitol, Farrakhan said peo- ple must appreciate and love themselves more. He espe- cially extended this message to women.
“You should never call an- other woman a bitch,” the Chicago-based minister said. “Get that word out of our lan- guage.”
He also touched on the issue of abortion. He told women that they have the right to decide what happens with their bodies, “but it would be so tragic if the next Sitting Bull was aborted,” or if Malcolm X, Martin Luther King or Jesus “was flushed away.”
Farrakhan said his own mother tried to abort him three times unsuccessfully. He also urged people to stop using limiting labels to de- scribe themselves.
“If I ask you your national- ity, you’ll point to some little spot on the map that you think
defines you ... ‘I’m from Geor- gia’ – well good for you. ‘I’m from Jamaica, mon,’ ” he said, drawing chuckles from the crowd. “You are defined by the nature in which you were cre- ated.
Attention is also focused on the deaths of unarmed black men since the shootings of 17- year-old Trayvon Martin in 2012 in Florida and 18-year- old Michael Brown in 2014 in Ferguson, Missouri. Deaths of unarmed black males at the hands of law enforcement of- ficers have inspired protests under the “Black Lives Matter” moniker around the country.
The original march on Oct. 16, 1995, brought hundreds of thousands to Washington to pledge to improve their lives, their families and their com- munities. Women, whites and other minorities were not in- vited to the original march, but organizers say that’s not the case this weekend.
The National Park Service estimated the attendance at the original march to be around 400,000, but subse- quent counts by private organ- izations put the number at 800,000 or higher. The Na- tional Park Service has re- fused to give crowd estimates on Mall activities since.
President Barack Obama, who attended the first Million Man March, was in California on Saturday.

Sometimes do you just ever sit down and think about the areople that were in your life that are not here anymore? And how dearly you miss their voices, their touch, and their wis- dom on how to become a better person.
These people here had a big effect on my life. They taught me to be the man that I am today. There is not a day that goes by that I don’t think about them and miss them. But, one day I will see them again. Until then, Rest In Peace.
Love, George Butler (PIG).
