Friday, June 20, 2014 Denzel Curnell was mysteriously killed after an “encounter” with police in Bridgeview Apartments (better known as Bayside). Today is July 2, 2014 and there is still no official report in the death of Denzel Curnell (although police claim he killed himself). Not sure how after two weeks of a SLED investigation, there still seems to be no official report as to what really happened the night of Curnell’s death. We’ve seen murderers in this city found the same day and charged within hours after a so-called investigation – why is this different? It doesn’t take a brain surgeon to figure that out.
Meanwhile, since Curnell’s death, Charleston, SC has had several murders throughout the city and surrounding areas. Residents don’t seem to be as up-in-arms about the black-on-black violence, than they are when the police are involved – which is a serious level of hypocrisy that needs to be addressed.
As the violence continues to spiral, we’ve decided we’re not just going to sit back and ignore these stories and statistics. We will be taking a closer look at how this violence affects family members, friends and especially the children who are left behind. #StayTuned
Today CNN Money announced President Obama is expanding a program that helps student loan borrowers manage that debt. This new program will cap monthly payments at 10% of the borrower’s income. What this program hopes to do is help borrowers who are struggling with paying back their loans.
The program also includes forgiveness for on-time payments and people who work in the public sector. For example, teachers can have their student loan balance cancelled after ten years of service. Low-income borrowers can have their balances canceled after 20-25 years of on-time payments. On today, President Obama will discuss student loan debt and other education topics on Tumblr.

So Charleston’s Mayor Riley and his motley crew have decided to draft a city ordinance that would require NEW bars and restaurants to close at midnight instead of 2am. Apparently Charleston City Council has already voted in favor of this idea 12-1.
This ordinance for New businesses include the areas of Market, King, Meeting, East Bay streets. Any existing businesses will be granfathered in, according to city officials.
Now let me be the first to say I don’t think this ordinance is fair for future business owners. How will they have a fair chance of succeeding when everyone knows Alcohol sales at existing bars and restaurants in this city is what keeps these businesses alive. From that perspective, I totally disagree with this ordinance.
HOWEVER, what surprises me most regarding this issue is the number of people “banning” together for this particular cause. Like really, people are actually on Facebook planning a serious Coup against the Mayor and city officials.
Man listen, we have a city filled with violent crime, our school system is teetering on the brink of failure, and people are fighting for jobs and pay raises. To see so many people ban together so that drunk College of Charleston kids and have 2 extra hours of drinking is confusing to me.
When the Mayor implemented Gentrification 2.0 on downtown Charleston, we didn’t hear anyone cry foul on how many families and communties were displaced. Now you all want to do a MLK march down King St?? man #ByeFelicia – When they vowed to put “AFFORDABLE HOUSING” in downtown Charleston, but instead what we see now is $300,000 condos, we heard a few murmurs, we had discussions on local radio, but still – no one cried. Now you all want to ban together for what now?? I’m confused.
I know, i know its a serious subject for business owners; FUTURE businesses will have some sort of limitation on their access to entry when it comes to the bar and restaurant opportunities in the downtown area. And lets face it, our mayor has a PERSONAL interest in this particular area since he is connected to many properties/hotels/land in Charleston. (This RULE does not apply to hotels – aint that a bitch), but what bothers me most is the stern reaction I see on Fakebook Facebook of people really preparing to go to county council, and ban together for this “cause”. These same people have kids – wonder how many PTA meetings they went to this past school year?
Listen, do what you want. Most people really could care less is people stay out until 6am; but the next time someone gets shot, I hope it draws as much attention as a couple hours of tom foolery on King Street.
