Lesbian who was brutally beaten by girlfriend’s brother says beating was not a hate crime
A lesbian who was horribly beaten by her girlfriend’s brother on Thanksgiving day says the beating was not a hate crime.
Mallory Owens, 23, of Mobile, Alabama, was beaten unconscious by Travis Hawkins, 18, while eating Thanksgiving dinner with her girlfriend’s family.
Mallory’s mother, Kristi Taylor, initially told news reporters that Hawkins beat her daughter because he didn’t approve of her relationship with his sister.
“He tried to kill her. He’s lucky he didn’t kill her. She’s lucky to be alive,” Taylor told WKRG-TV. “I didn’t recognize her when I got here. It’s hard to look at her like that.”

Hawkins was arrested Sunday and charged with second-degree assault, and later released on bond. Hawkins’ lawyer says his client had to go into hiding after receiving multiple death threats.
“People have taken this and overreacted, and made it something that it’s not,” James Byrd told WKRG-TV.
Owens, who woke up 3 days after she was hospitalized, and her girlfriend, Alex Hawkins, says the horrific beating was not a hate crime.
“It’s not a hate crime at all,” said Hawkins. “We both know the reason why this happened, and it doesn’t make any excuses for him, I’m not defending him at all. I know why he was angry, and that will come out.”
Owens refuses to reveal what really happened before the fight, but she almost seemed to forgive Hawkins.
“A lot of things have happened between us, but it doesn’t make me hate her brother,” Owens told WKRG-TV on Tuesday. “I don’t hate her family at all, or anybody for that matter.”
Owens, who assumes the male role in the relationship, returned to her girlfriend’s home after her release from the hospital.
Alabama is one of 26 states without a sexual orientation hate crime law on the books.

is she related to Gabe (halles babydaddy?)
Cause they aint even pinching btchs..
These are ghetto aka trailer trash folk. All a dem. According to street code you can’t call the law and if you wind up in the hospital and the law GOTTA come you dang sure can’t call it a hate crime. Dude done already bust her in the head with a pipe in the past. The fact that she continues to be in his presence leads me to believe she is cool with this type of thing.
@Bad, I see you ain’t gawn be schit ALL THIS WEEK huh?
If this not a hate crime, wtf is it? This man tried to kill this woman.
“People have taken this and overreacted, and made it something that it’s not,” James Byrd told WKRG-TV.”

When he bust her in the head with the pipe several months ago, they didn’t even call the cops on him. He’s going to kill her eventually.

There is no fking way me and him would be cool never ever again…He beat her ass like a straight up dude…
AND…………so people just stood around and let him beat her to a pulp. No one tried to stop him or help her. Her muff buddy? The parents? Anyone in the trailer park?

And that’s the other thing. No one is mentioning that this happened at Thanksgiving dinner with a bunch of people around. How could he be allowed to beat her that severely? According to her mother the whole family doesn’t like her, but she keeps trying to be accepted by them. It ain’t happening. Those rednecks are going to let that roided up teen kill her. Then he’ll use a roid rage defense.
Read this actually a day or two ago (Mobile Press Register is my daddy’s hometown paper…get their alerts to my email) and I STILL feel so very sad.

^^ His own dad had shot him in the chest last year and he (the one who beat the young lady) refused to press charges. The family is prone to violence sounds like.
@Mirs
Yep, precisely!

Food for Thought:
Tennessee Tea Party wants to remove slavery from history books
by Great Lakes LiberalFollow .
It has been obvious for quite a while that the Republicans thrive in a world where their revisionist history is allowed to be parroted unquestioned. Here is the next step in their ongoing War on Reality.
.
“My biggest concern is that important information is being omitted, which creates a negative light on our Founding Fathers,” said Tea Party activist Brian Rieck.
Right! Let’s just conveniently ignore that some of the founders owned slaves and denied people who weren’t white or male the right to vote. Let’s ignore the three-fifths compromise. Let’s come up with a completely unrealistic representation of the founders and tell our kids they were infallible. Let’s omit important information and create a false positive light on the founders! BRILLIANT IDEA!
I mean, I guess it’s good that we know that this is the Tea Party endgame – to scrub the history books of anything that might make kids question the founding fathers. Now we know our kids will learn that God personally delivered the ten commandments to Moses Reagan. At least this is not in any way driven by racism…
“Slavery is of course portrayed in the textbooks nowadays I’m sure as a totally negative thing. Had there not been slavery in the South, the economy would’ve fallen,” Rieck said.
Oh. Nevermind. They ARE just a bunch of mouthbreathing racist assholes.
For Christ’s sake. The purpose of learning history is to learn from our mistakes, not to massage the egos of the racists in this country who viewed the freeing of the slaves as an assault on property rights. Are we going to remove Manifest Destiny, the Japanese Internment, and the Indian genocides as well? Will Tennessee textbooks start calling the Civil War the “War of Northern Aggression”?
I can’t read up on this and not think of George Orwell’s 1984. I recently re-read it and was a little bit unsettled. The teabaggers who can read look at it as an instruction manual.
And the best analogy I’ve read regarding this story?
That’s like the Neo-Nazi parties wanting textbooks to be rewritten to say how much concentration camps benefited the Zyklon B manufacturing sector.
If I am mistaken Mallory Owens had gotten her azz kicked at that same house by another fam member before.
Not sure about YALL but I aint going BACK to a place where I done got my azz whooped before. You think Gabe Aubrey going back to Halle house.. or is he gonna send somebody else to pick Nahla up?
This doesnt make this Mallory’s fault tho about what happened on Thanksgiving. I just question why a little would you go back?
jeniefrumdabloc says:
Beesh do you see ya face forgive my azz she look like one of them damn zombies on the walking dead
_____________________________
she’s got something to prove she’a real MAN who can handle anything
So the brother was effing the sister. Obviously he was no good at it and the sis decided she wanted puss instead. In comes Ms. Owens and there begins the hate. BUT it’s not a hate crime it’s a crime of passion!
According to reports the Phili rapper, actress Eve is two months pregnant by millionaire Maximillian Cooper who founded the clothing company Gumball. Mr. Cooper is worth about 50 million dollars and the two are planning to get married. Recently Eve stated how she was excited to get back into the rap game saying she feels like a brand new artist

yesterday at this…
“was talking in tongues. I envisioned her eyes had rolled to the back of her head as she was typing. Hakuna Mahta. I was like dayum hope she okay.”
The families of the 112 workers killed in a Bangladesh garment factory fire will receive $1,200 each from a company linked to hip-hop mogul Sean Combs’ clothing line.
An educational fund for the victims’ children will also be arranged by Li & Fung, the licensee that oversees the manufacture of P-Diddy’s ENYCE label.
“Our deepest condolences go out to the families of the victims involved in the tragedy,” said a statement from ENYCE President Jeffrey Tweedy, which promised the philanthropic donation.
A pair of blue ENYCE shorts remained on a sewing machine inside the doomed Tarzeen Fashions factory Wednesday as Bangladeshi authorities arrested three company officials.
An Associated Press reporter also found clothing in the factory being made for Wal-Mart, Disney, the French company Teddy Smith and the Scottish business Edinburgh Woollen Mill.
Documents indicated Sears and other Western brands were also produced inside the facility.
After the fire, workers claimed their bosses locked fire doors as terrified employees tried desperately to flee the raging flames inside the eight-story building.
In addition to the lack of open emergency exits, one worker said stacks of yarn and clothing blocked another route out of the factory.
Managers ordered workers to return to their stations when the blaze began, according to the worker. Fire extinguishers inside the building were not functional, officials said.
The plant employed about 1,400 workers, most of them women and most from the poorest region of Bangladesh. Fifty-three of the dead workers were burned beyond recognition, and were buried anonymously.
A dozen people died after leaping from the factory to escape the blaze.
Authorities are investigating whether the deadly blaze was arson, and police said they are not ruling out sabotage as a motive.
damage control like a mthrfkr, Diddy don’t give a damn about them folks…

Hostess Brands Inc. plans to ask for a judge’s approval Thursday to give its top executives bonuses totaling up to $1.8 million as part of its wind-down plans.
The maker of Twinkies, Ding Dongs and Ho Hos says the incentive pay is needed to retain the 19 managers during the liquidation process, which could take about a year. Two of those executives would be eligible for additional rewards depending on how efficiently they carry out the liquidation.
Hostess is also seeking final approval for its wind-down, which was approved on an interim basis last week.
The process includes the quick sale of its brands, which also include Wonder Bread. Hostess says it has received a flood of interest in the brands.
The company’s bankruptcy means loss of about 18,000 jobs.

R&B star Mary J. Blige was hit with a lawsuit on Wednesday alleging the Grammy winner and her husband defaulted on a $2.2 million bank loan.
According to court documents filed in New York State Supreme Court in Manhattan, Signature Bank is seeking to recoup the original loan plus $58,000 in interest.
Blige, 41, who has sold more than 50 million albums worldwide, and her husband Martin Isaacs took out the loan in October 2011 and defaulted in July 2012, the suit alleges.
Blige’s publicist declined comment on the lawsuit. The singer’s attorney did not immediately return a request to comment.
The lawsuit also names Blige’s production company, Mary Jane Productions Inc.
The lawsuit is the latest financial headache for the New York City native. The “Family Affair” singer’s charity, The Mary J. Blige and Steve Stoute Foundation for the Advancement of Women Now Inc, was accused earlier in this year of mishandling funds and cheating scholarship students.
Blige acknowledged the problems in a June interview.
“The lives of young women are at stake,” the singer told Reuters when asked about the allegations. “I feel what they feel. I don’t want them to suffer. I promised them something and I’m gonna deliver. Period.”

You know i don’t even feel sorry for her because she is stupid. I would not go back to that house or even be in the same room with that family again.
This is disturbing and the fact that she returned to that house is crazy.
