The protesters had resolved to nonviolence and formed a human chain across the doorway--right before getting arrested. Though the University had agreed not to press charges, the city ended up putting two guys in jail for nine months for assault and battery (including the one who had punched the assistant dean in the face). 23 students were also expelled, with the possibility of readmission in the future, and three were...

His younger relatives in Florida have forgotten to be angry. More and more Cubans are looking for common ground...
...video, DJ Khaled seems to be T-Pain’s hype man/muscle, pushing the patrons of the bar around, calling them “bitch-ass niggas,” and pouring or throwing their drinks in their face. After enough of this, the patrons rally together to evict the duo, but they don’t manage to get rid of all the kind-of, almost-rappers in the audience. The video concludes with Akon, making a guest appearance playing a little bongo drum solo. Maybe this is a sign that Akon will give us a new side...
