U.S.: Bishop Eddie Long accuser: “You Are a Monster.” Whoa

  • That man cannot look me in the eye and tell me we did not live this pain. While you can sit in front of the church and tell them that you categorically deny it, you can’t say that to our face. And you know this. You are not a man. You are a monster.
  • Accuser Jamal Parris • Choosing to go forward to the media in the wake of the lawsuit. A reporter traveled all the way from Georgia to Colorado to talk to Parris, and well, there is A LOT HERE. This 23-year-old sounds like he’s been through the wringer. “I cannot get the sound of his voice out of my head,” he said. “I cannot forget the smell of his cologne and I cannot forget the way that he made me cry many nights when I drove in his cars on the way home.” Whether or not he’s telling the truth, this has to make it harder to stick behind Long. source

Culture: Hells Angels, circa 1965: Life Magazine’s photo archives strike again

  • That’s quite the badass. In 1965, Life Magazine documented the trials and tribulations of the Hells Angels, but never printed the images. Fortunately for us, they decided to print them now, years after the magazine faded away. Really awesome, but wouldn’t it be great if Life Magazine itself were bringing great new photos like this one to the world? source
