26-year-old Jemel Roberson was shot and killed early Sunday morning for simply doing his job.
According to the authorities Jemel Roberson was in the process of detaining an individual, outside of Manny’s Blue Room Lounge in Robbins Illinois, who he believed to be in involved in a shooting within the club. When a police officer arrived to the scene it is unclear whether or not the officer could identify the word Security that was clearly printed on Roberson’s black clothing, but, according to witness’s, many individuals within the crowd were screaming that Roberson was in fact a security guard. Bystanders state that the responding officer shot the man seconds after ordering him to drop his weapon. Roberson who put his own life in harms way to bravely pin the shooter to the ground is now being called a hero for potentially saving many lives that night.
It is said that Roberson who is the father of a 9 month old boy with another baby on the way was just working extra shifts to buy Christmas presents for his son and his pregnant girlfriend, Avontae Boose.
“A family member called and told me. I just broke down crying in the bathroom. For a long time I was in the bathroom,” says the distressed mother and girlfriend. Though their 9 month old son, Tristan, is too young to understand what is going on, he knows he is missing his father. Avontae tells reporters that he just keeps calling for his dad.
This tragedy has left many throughout the community demanding answers for what occurred that morning.
According to CNN, Illinois state police have taken over the case and have yet to identify the officer who shot Roberson. The only details they have released to the public so far is that the Midlothian officer is white and has been with the Midlothian Police Department for four years. According to the Chicago Tribune the officer is currently on paid leave while the state police Public Integrity Task Force investigate.
Midlothian Police Chief, Daniel Delaney, has described the shooting as an innocent blue on blue friendly fire incident leaving the Roberson family attorney, Lee Merritt, to disagree stating that “if this was a case where they saw this as friendly fire, as if a police officer was shot, then this would be handled much differently,” adding that there would be more transparency. Merritt believes that authorities should publicize the name of the officer that shot Jemel Roberson. “It’s important to put the name and face out in the public spectrum because it allows the community to report if this officer has a history of brutality,” he tells reporters.
As for Avontae Boose, she must now prepare and decide what she will say to tell her two young children about their father one day. She states that “I’m going to tell them when they get older — When they get real older — what happened to their father. That he was a hero, and he saved a lot of people.”

![[MUSIC] KEHLANI OPENS UP ABOUT PREGNANCY](https://i0.wp.com/sloppyvinyl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Kehlani-.jpg?resize=800%2C448&ssl=1)

You would think since announcing her pregnancy with a baby girl, the singer would be getting nothing but love and support, but that has not been the case at all.
In an interview with Nylon, the singer opened up about the backlash she has endured in response to her pregnancy and identifying as queer. Since her hit single “Honey” fans have clung to the singer titling her the “Queer Icon,” which is a title Kehlani states she was never eager to claim.
“I’ve gotten everything from ‘I thought she was lesbian’ to ‘she was using queerness to promote her career, then went and betrayed us with a man’ to ‘her baby father is just a sperm donor,'” she says, explaining the reactions she has received from her fan base.
She adds that “I never identified as a lesbian. I’ve always been pansexual. My first mixtape included songs about males, and songs about women.” The singer has also been very vocal about giving credit to those individuals who are doing way more for the LGBTQ community than she is, “there are people out there in this community fighting for equality in realer ways than making songs about it and performing at events like I am.”
The “Distraction” singer also addressed her fans in the interview informing them that though she loves being a member of the LGBTQ community, she is an artist first. The singer included that having a light shining on every aspect of her life is something she does not like.
The artist ended her interview with explaining to her fans that nothing matters more than your comfortability. “I also saw a lot of discomfort with the use of the word ‘queer,’ hinting that its used for folks to run away from identifying with a more ‘solidified’ term like bi/lesbian/gay/pan,” she exclaimed “my response is whatever makes you feel your safest, in your truest identity, you should identify as such without being policed by the same community you are supposed to feel most safe with.”
I totally agree with Kehlani and believe she should be getting nothing but love and happiness instead of hate and negativity.

![[ENTERTAINMENT] ‘AMERICAN HORROR STORY: APOCALYPSE’ FINALE RECAP](https://i0.wp.com/sloppyvinyl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/ahs10inverse.jpg?resize=1080%2C596&ssl=1)

The finale of “American Horror Story: Apocalypse” goes back to Murder House once again, yields the return of the Antichrist’s “Interview with a Vampire” wig and turns back time just like everyone’s second favorite Cher song.
“Apocalypse Then,” Evan Peters’ “AHS” directorial debut, starts with Moira (Frances Conroy) whose “hair is an eternal mystery never to be fully understood,” breaking into the robot lab. She puts Venable (Sarah Paulson), Jeff and Mutt (Evan Peters and Billy Eichner still in those ridiculous Coconut Head wigs) under a spell and gets her witches spots in their Outposts. Basically, Myrtle’s trying her best to tie up all the loose ends so we can finally get back to the post-apocalypse.
Frances Conroy played quite possibly the best character of the season, Myrtle Snow.

When she looks at the “guest list” for the apocalyptic bunkers, B. Cooper has a spot reserved at Outpost 3. Are you telling me Bradley Cooper has been hiding in plain sight this whole time? Definitely not; this isn’t “The Haunting of Hill House.”
Cordelia (Sarah Paulson as the Supreme Witch) puts memory spells on Mallory (Billie Lourd) and Coco (Leslie Grossman). Coco’s new personality — so her character in the first half of the season — was based on Madison (Emma Roberts), which explains why I found her so unbearable in the earlier episodes. No one can do bitchy like Emma Roberts.
As Mallory and Coco prepare to have their memories wiped, they say goodbye to the surviving witches (excluding Misty, for some unexplained reason) and it’s easily the best acting Lourd and Grossman have done all season. That’s not necessarily saying much, since Mallory hardly spoke at all and Coco was just a bad impersonation, but that scene was honestly really good.
Madison, under the façade of an Uber driver, drops off Mallory and Coco at their new lives. She notices an ad for Dinah’s (Adina Porter, Voodoo Witch) new show, which obviously means she sold the Coven out to the Devil. I know that’s what happened because I saw it in last week’s episode, but is it really that easy of a conclusion to jump to?
Evan Peter’s first character of the season, Gallant, shows up to cut Coco’s hair. Billy Eichner is sitting in the chair next to Coco and tries to hit on her. Is he Brock from the first half of the season or is he Mutt finally getting a different look? Are they the same person? Does it matter? No. The one good thing about this scene was seeing Peters and Eichner without those horrendous wigs.
We don’t get a different perspective of the nukes going off or anything. We flash forward to Langdon (Cody Fern) confronting Mallory at Outpost in Episode 3 when he shows his true form and she makes fire appear.
Then we cut directly to Cordelia, Myrtle and Madison rising from their swamp graves. They strut into the Outpost as the unofficial “Coven” theme song plays. They bring Coco, Mallory and Dinah back to life.
This is as close to a climactic showdown as we got with “AHS: Apocalypse.”

With this whole nonlinear narrative, I totally forgot about the cliffhanger stand-off between Langdon and the now revived witches. That was just before we dove headfirst into flashbacks. Dinah tells the witches they’re dumb for bringing her back because she’s going to side with Langdon, but she doesn’t know the Coven has a secret weapon.
ANGELA BASSETT IS BACK! At the end of “Coven,” Voodoo Queen Marie Laveau (Bassett) was in Hell, endlessly torturing Delphine LaLaurie (Kathy Bates’ season 3 character). We cut to their shared Hell, when Nan (Jamie Brewster) and Cordelia show up to bring Laveau back to life.
Laveau comes out from behind a pillar and, in the badass way that only Angela Bassett can do, stabs Dinah in the neck with a cleaver. Cordelia blows up robotic Kathy Bates, causing her machine gun arm to fly off.

Madison picks up the gun and goes full “Scarface” on Langdon, unloading rounds into his back as Cordelia and Myrtle try to find a safe place for Mallory to go back in time. When he gets off the ground, alive and well, Madison delivers another great line “I guess it’s back to retail” before he makes her head explode.
Who else forgot that radioactive Billy Eichner is still in Outpost after stabbing Coco in episode 3? He shows up and stabs Mallory in the stomach because it’s somehow her fault that he couldn’t get to the airport on time before the bombs dropped.
Coco and Laveau try to hold Langdon off so Mallory can time travel, but they can only do so for so long before he rips Laveau’s heart out of her chest and literally snaps Coco’s neck. Angela Bassett hasn’t even been back through a commercial break and she’s already dead? It’s better than nothing, I guess.
It’s the “all is lost” moment as Mallory looks like she’s about to die, so Cordelia goes to confront Langdon. She takes the knife from him and stabs herself with it. As a dead Supreme, her powers automatically transfer over to the next Supreme, who in this case is obviously Mallory (especially since almost all the other witches are dead). As Cordelia’s dead body lies in a pool of blood at the bottom of the stairs, Mallory is able to go back in time, and what a moment she returns to.

We’re back at Murder House in 2015, when Constance (that’s right, we’ve got another Jessica Lange appearance!) walks into Langdon’s room and finds a dead priest. Without a hint of irony, Constance lectures/monologues her grandson about killing people. It’s no surprise that Lange brought her A-game; just look at her screaming as she kicks Langdon out. He tries to choke her, but he can’t do it, so he runs out of the house instead. As he’s crossing the street, who else but Mallory pulls up in an SUV and runs him over three times.
Quick refresher: In Season 1, Constance’s youngest daughter, Adelaide, was killed in a hit and run just outside of the Murder House. She died as Constance desperately tried to get her body to the house, so her ghost could stay with her, but she couldn’t hold on long enough.

In a seriously amazing parallel to that, Constance comes out of the house and looks over Langdon as he dies in the street. He asks her to bring him into the house so he can stay with her, to which she responds “Go to Hell” and walks away.
So the big climax is that Mallory ran Langdon over with a car. No big confrontation between the Witches and the Satanists. No final showdown. Just a hit and run.
Since she killed Langdon in 2015, that’s when the timeline is reset, which means Cordelia is alive and well as the reigning Supreme. Cordelia and the witches don’t remember Mallory, since in this new timeline they never met, but Malloy still remembers everything she’s been through this season. The worst part about the 2015 reset is that since Cordelia has no reason to bring her back to fight, Myrtle is still dead.
Mallory is also able to convince Queenie (Gabourey Sidibe) not to stay at the Hotel Cortez as she goes on “The Price is Right” nullifying her Season 5 cameo. Since she “got blazing street cred with the demons of the underworld” for killing the Spawn of Satan, Mallory is also able to bring Misty (Lily Rabe FINALLY) back from Hell so the Coven is one big happy family — minus Myrtle.
Excluding Myrtle still being dead, it’s a big happy finale for the Witches of the Coven.

The young Adam and Eve couple from the first three episodes (who literally no one cares about) still meet, but this time under better, not impending doom circumstances, and once again fall in love. They have a baby and three years later, they sit in their car after a night out, talking about how hard it is to raise their son. They walk inside, not noticing the red sky and the crows circling their house, only to find that their son killed the babysitter and is now sitting on a rocking chair, just like toddler Langdon in the “Murder House” finale. The doorbell rings and it’s the Satanists from episode 6— The Black Pope and his two Cardinals, Satanic Kathy Bates and the actress who played Pepper in “Asylum” and “Freak Show.” They flash freaky smiles and say they want to help.
That’s how it ends, so basically this season didn’t matter, because at the end of the day, even if you kill the Spawn of Satan, another Baby Devil will show up. Is this Ryan Murphy’s way of saying that the apocalypse is inevitable?
Cody Fern made his “American Horror Story” debut this season as Michael Langdon, the Spawn of Satan.

Overall, this was a better finale than I was anticipating. We were back in the post-apocalyptic timeline within the first 20 minutes, which made me happy, and I literally screamed when Angela Bassett showed up, but Langdon’s anti-climactic death and the overall lack of scares left me wanting much more. At least Jessica Lange showed up for one final appearance.
That’s it for “American Horror Story: Apocalypse.” I hope you enjoyed these recaps as much as I enjoyed writing them, and please keep a look out for my overall review of the entire season. Let me know what you thought of the finale in the comments below!
![[SPORTS] KNICKS STUCK IN STORM IN BLOWOUT LOSS TO OKC](https://i0.wp.com/sloppyvinyl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/img_8550-1-1.jpg?resize=600%2C400&ssl=1)

Knicks Get Blown Off The Floor By Russell Westbrook-less Thunder
If you asked David Fizdale if his team could look any worse than they did in a sluggish and embarrassing loss at home on Sunday to the Orlando Magic, he’d probably say no.
The Oklahoma City Thunder made sure to provide Fizdale and the Knicks with more headaches during this recent swoon of blowout defeats.
The Oklahoma City Thunder overpowered the New York Knicks 128-103 on Wednesday night at Chesapeake Energy Arena as they sent New York to a third straight loss.
Paul George finished with a game-high 35 points to go along with seven rebounds, five assists, two steals and one block as Oklahoma City won their second straight game and ninth in the past 10.
Oklahoma City is a far better basketball team than the New York Knicks, that much was on display on Wednesday night as they steamrolled David Fizdale’s Knicks in a easy victory at home.
The Thunder — who were without Russell Westbrook for a fourth straight game due to a ankle injury — jumped out to a 37-22 lead in the first quarter and didn’t look back as that lead would grow 27 points before game’s end.
Oklahoma City shot 53 percent from the field while hitting 16 3-pointers on the night. They held the New York Knicks to 27 percent from beyond the arc and scored a staggering 36 points off of New York’s 18 turnovers.
Tim Hardaway Jr. scored a team-high 20 points for the New York Knicks while sinking three 3-pointers in just 25 minutes.
Enes Kanter scored 19 points and grabbed five rebounds against his former team off of the bench for New York.
David Fizdale changed up the starting lineup for the Knicks, moving Kevin Knox and Emmanuel Mudiay into the starting lineup as he looked for a spark, but all he received was the complete opposite.
Frank Ntilikina is a liability with his shooting as he runs point guard for the Knicks first team, but coming off the bench may not solve his troubles. Damyean Dotson has recently struggled with on-ball defense, but he gives the effort, and has had some good moments.
It’s the third straight game where the Knicks have lost by 16 or more points. In total, the Knicks have lost three straight games by a grand total of 67 points as they look like a team not confident in their ability to compete.
It’s a learning curve for the Knicks, a team filled with mostly young and inexperienced players and without a veteran presence, something they could use.
Kristaps Porzingis is making progress from his ACL injury, but there’s still no timetable for his return.
Perhaps seeing him on the floor again could inspire this Knicks team to put forth a better effort, specifically on defense.
The New York Knicks will continue their three-game road trip on Friday night with a visit to the Smoothie King Center to play the New Orleans Pelicans as they look to end their dismal stretch of losses.

Nets Struggle To Find The Rim In Return Home
Winning the first game back from a four-game road trip out West was a challenge for Kenny Atkinson’s team and it proved to be just that in their return to Barclays Center.
The Miami Heat defeated the Brooklyn Nets 120-107 on Wednesday night at the Barclays Center to send Brooklyn to their third straight loss.
Tyler Johnson scored a game-high 24 points for the Miami Heat in 31 minutes off the bench as Miami snapped a three-game losing skid.
The Miami Heat got after the Brooklyn Nets on the defensive end, hounding them into a less than spectacular 40 percent shooting night while limiting them to 28.6 percent from beyond the arc.
The Brooklyn Nets were once again without starting center Jarrett Allen, and it mattered as Miami scored 70 points in the paint, an unacceptable amount of you’re the Brooklyn Nets.
Erik Spoelstra’s team led by as many as 23 points, letting their foot off the gas pedal to begin the fourth quarter when Brooklyn sliced their lead to nine points, but they would finish out the game by limiting the slow starting Nets.
Spencer Dinwiddie scored a team-high 18 points for the Brooklyn Nets off of the bench in 29 minutes of action.
The Brooklyn Nets bench showed up to a degree as Dinwiddie was one of three of the Nets’ reserves to reach double figures.
D’Angelo Russell was ultra aggressive with his shot in the first quarter, attempting 14 shot attempts but only making three of them as the Nets trailed 37-21 after the first.
Russell finished 6-for-18 in the game and scored only 12 points as Brooklyn began life without Caris LeVert, who suffered a fractured right foot in Brooklyn’s 120-113 loss on Monday to the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Brooklyn (6-9) can’t allow teams to have a tour of the paint as they did on Wednesday night and they can’t go out and not defend the basketball as they committed 15 turnovers.
It’s an ugly loss for Brooklyn, who admittedly tried fighting through a hazardous shooting night.
After winning three consecutive games to get back to .500, it’s another journey back there for Kenny Atkinson’s team.
The Brooklyn Nets will visit the Capital One Arena to take on the Washington Wizards on Friday night as they look to end their skid.
