Jameis Winston allegedly steals crab legs, gets suspended. Alleged sexual assault -- nothing

So, all it took for Florida State University to "punish" him was for Publix to accuse the Heisman winning quarterback of stealing crab legs. Of course, he's suspended from the baseball team and not the national championship football team.

Hell, he's not even suspended from school. But who's surprised? Not me. FSU didn't take any action when Winston was accused of raping a fellow student in December, 2012. And if the New York Times report is to be believed, the allegations against Winston were swept under the rug as the team went on to win the national championship. The victim in the case was told by a police officer that if she pressed charges her life would be made hard because Tallahassee is a football town. 
The woman filed a Title IX complaint in March, according to USA Today. 

It's time for FSU to stop the bull shit and do a real investigation into Winston, who obviously thinks he's above the law and is getting treated as if he is. I can only imagine how irate he was when he was issued the citation for stealing. I mean, if you have whole police department and university on your side when it comes to sexually assaulting women, I bet this whole taking crab legs from Publix was nothing. It was probably like a two-year-old having a temper tantrum when he was stopped and given the ticket.

So, he's suspended from the FSU baseball team. So. WHAT! Florida State is particularly known as a baseball school. Hell, most of the men in major league baseball didn't spend years in college. What's sad is it took stealing from a supermarket for FSU to do something -- as small as it is -- about Menace Winston.

A month before the rape accusation became public, the university’s victim advocate learned that a second woman had sought counseling after a sexual encounter with Mr. Winston, according to the prosecutor’s office. The woman did not call it rape — she did not say “no.” But the encounter, not previously reported, “was of such a nature that she felt violated or felt that she needed to seek some type of counseling for her emotions about the experience,” according to Georgia Cappleman, the chief assistant state attorney, who said she had spoken with the advocate but not with the woman.
The victim advocate was concerned enough about the episode to have alerted Mr. Winston’s first accuser.

Django Unchained or The live version of Catcher Freeman

Forget what Spike Lee has to say about Django Unchained , I want to know if Aaron McGruder recognized his work on the big screen. After reading what Quentin Tarantino said about Roots , I had plans to sit this one out. Then I got an invite to see it.  Tarantino called out Roots as inauthentic as a part of his battle with Lee, who accurately said Django was disrespectful to his ancestors. About ten minutes into this overly long spaghetti western/blaxplotation flick, I wanted to make a tee shirt that would read, SPIKE WAS RIGHT.  Tarantino should've made a western with a black hero -- the slavery aspect of the movie was just so unnecessary. Granted, this movie is a work of fiction and not based on any historical slavery story. And yes, people go to the movies to be entertained, but overly violent movies aren't entertaining to me. However, I digress.  The fact that some many people are talking about how "original" this movie is proves one thing: Y'all don

Five Questions with Judy Lynn Hubbard, author of These Arms of Mine

Twitter is a great place to meet new authors. That's where I met Kimani author Judy Lynn Hubbard. I knew she was cool because she's a Dallas Cowboys fan! Then she shared an excerpt from her debut novel, These Arms of Mine . It left me wanting more and more. Thankfully, the wait is almost over! Hubbard's book is set to be released on January 24. Judy spoke with me about her first novel and writing. 1. When did you decide to write romance?      When I was 14, my sister gave me my first Harlequin Romance novel to read and since then I knew one day I wanted to write a book for Harlequin. Many years later, I finally completed my first novel and after many re-writes and submissions, I went on to write my second novel (These Arms of Mine) that was accepted by Harlequin Kimani after corresponding with them for about 10 months.   So, persistence and having faith in oneself definitely pays off! 2. What is your debut novel, These Arms of Mine about?  It’s a reunion ro
