An article on the Huffington Post speculates on whether or not rapper Danny Brown was sexually assaulted on stage when a fan performed oral sex on him in full view of other fans in the front row. Another performer who is the opening act for Brown says that the incident was "an actual sexual assault" and there was nothing the rapper could do. However, Philly.com reports that Brown bragged about not missing a bar while it was occurring in a tweet to another rapper who asked him about if it was true. The police are not involved at this point but do you think both parties should be charged with public indecency or is this acceptable behavior in today's society?

Youth advocate Larry Lazarre-White of The Brotherhood/Sister Sol appeared on a MSNBC last night lamenting the recent arrest of 16 yr-old student Kiera Wilmot for what is being called a failed experiment for a science project. The student was sitting outside by a lake on school campus when she foolishly mixed household chemicals in a small water bottle that caused a small firecracker like explosions that produced smoke. The school principle who investigated the incident said there was no malicious intent involved and that Kiera had never been in trouble before. Mr. Lazarre-White said that the student's arrest on felony charges and the intent to try her as an adult represents the school to prison pipeline in America.
We have discussed on a past program the damage caused by US government funded humanitarian organizations being used as tools by US intelligence services.
