Las Vegas man Accused of Multiple Violent Rapes

  A Las Vegas man has been arrested in association with several violent rapes of local prostitutes, and authorities are seeking help in locating other possible victims. Police say 29-year-old Denver Baoec-Ascuncion was arrested earlier this month after multiple women came forward recounting recent incidents of kidnapping and sexual assault. 8 News Now reports that the 28-year-old Las Vegas man faces multiple counts , and there may be other victims. Two separate prostitutes between December 20th and January 7th reportedly told police that Ascuncion picked them up and forced them into sexual acts. Both alleged victims claimed that the Las Vegas man used a firearm to threaten them. Non-virtual sex work (i.e., physical prostitution) is a dangerous line of work, especially in large cities like Las Vegas -- where rates of non-virtual sex work have increased by 50% in recent years. Prostitutes -- especially street walkers -- are often victims of violent crime and robberies. It's fortunat...

TikTok Doctor Openly Generalized Black Patients in Viral Video

A popular TikTok doctor is being called out for medical racism after he openly generalized his Black patients in a video. Dr. J Mack Slaughter is known for his “Dr. Boy Band” persona and isn’t usually tied to controversy, but his latest TikTok antics have changed that.

In a video that’s now-viral, Dr. J Mack brought up something he noticed about his Black patients that differed from patients of other races. The TikTok star noted that his Black patients tend to have someone on the phone with them during their visits.

“Why is that when I myself, not speaking for an entire race or ethnicity have a doctor come in, I hang up my phone,” he said during the clip.

Viewers of the viral TikTok were quick to point out that Dr. Boy Band was generalizing patients of Color, which is illustrative of medical racism — an often-ignored facet of racism in the United States. One person who called out the TikTok doctor is another TikToker known as Dr. Kali. She responded to Dr. J Mack’s video, encouraging him to do some anti-racism work to remedy the mistake he made.

Medical racism is a pretty self-explanatory concept. In medical settings, People of Color find themselves discriminated against for numerous reasons — and sometimes their pain goes ignored. Women of Color, in particular, are often casualties of medical racism. The complicated and shameful history of racism in medicine in the United States is directly why many Black patients choose to have someone on the phone with them during doctors visits.

Fortunately, Dr. J Mack Slaughter has since-apologized for his blunder — and hopefully he takes this as an opportunity to grow.

Las Vegas: Crackhead Teacher Leaves Cocaine In Bathroom at Elementary School

A Las Vegas elementary school teacher was arrested recently after she left a baggie of cocaine in a bathroom at the school where she's employed. Now the pathetic cokehead is calling the incident a "stupid mistake," and Clark County School District is making a mockery of the situation by giving her paid leave instead of terminating her employment entirely. How many other people are actively on drugs around kids in this school system, if this is how CCSD is choosing to handle things? 8 News Now reports that 46-year-old Danielle Fingar was arrested after another teacher found her lost baggie of cocaine in a staff bathroom. Security footage directly tied the elementary school teacher -- who is employed at Bunker Elementary-- to the baggie of dope. Footage reportedly showed the teacher walking into the bathroom with a cosmetic bag containing the baggie of cocaine before 8:00 a.m. When she left the bathroom she no longer had the cosmetic bag. Another teacher found the illici...

Does Nick Fuentes Have HIV?

Far-right personality Nick Fuentes just can't catch a break these days, and it couldn't be more deserved. Aside from rumors that he and streamer Destiny engaged in oral sex in a now-viral leaked sex-tape, now it's being spread around that he has an incurable STI.  Numerous netizens are spreading around claims that Nick Fuentes has HIV. To be specific, it's being claimed that Fuentes himself has come out with the announcement. This rumor can be traced to a tweet made by an account posing as a verified media source -- and it's not very likely that the source is legitimate. It would be a bit of poetic justice for Nick Fuentes to be diagnosed with HIV, but rumors like this would only serve to further vilify the LGTB community -- as this particular rumor implies that the diagnosis has come after the viral video leak featuring Destiny.  So far, no authentic media sources have come forward with any reports verifying that Nick Fuentes has HIV. For now it seems that this is...
