Fears are growing for the health of a schoolgirl left comatose by a bully who smashed her head into concrete - after her grandma said she was 'devastated' and that a statement is 'imminent.' Thompson - whose 15 year-old granddaughter was attacked in Spanish Lake, Missouri, on March 8 - said: 'The family will give a statement very soon. That's all I can say right now.' John O'Sullivan, Director of Communications with St. Louis County Courts, told KSDK it is too soon to determine if the suspect will be tried as an adult.

Missouri’s attorney general wants the teenage girl seen slamming another high schooler’s head into the concrete to be charged as an adult — and hit with homicide charges if the critically injured victim dies. “This evil and complete disregard for human life has no place in Missouri, or anywhere. I am praying for the victim,” state AG Andrew Bailey wrote of the disturbing video. “The criminal should be charged and tried as an adult. If the victim dies, that offense should rise to a homicide,” he stated of the unidentified 15-year-old whose case is being held in juvenile court. “I...

Tributes have poured in for slain gorilla Harambe on the seventh anniversary of his death - after he was killed when a toddler fell into his enclosure at Cincinnati zoo. A four-year-old boy fell into the enclosure just minutes before the 400-pound animal was fatally shot. At the time, authorities said the boy crawled past the railing and fell 10 feet into the gorilla's habitat, where he spent more than 10 minutes. The worldwide attention that followed the death of Harambe sparked thousands of memes and parody videos, making the ape a pop culture phenomenon. And seven years later, people...

INCINNATI (WKRC) - On May 28, 2016, a small boy fell into the gorilla exhibit at the Cincinnati Zoo. What happened next prompted internet outrage across the world: a gorilla was killed. That gorilla was named "Harambe". Harambe was the 17-year-old western lowland gorilla who had noticed that the boy fell into the enclosure. He approached the boy and grabbed him. Video shows Harambe dragging the young boy around the retaining pool in the enclosure as onlookers shout and scream in response.

CINCINNATI -- The killing of a gorilla at the Cincinnati Zoo in order to save a child who fell in its enclosure has sparked nationwide outrage. Animal activists have created online petitions and Facebook pages after a special zoo response team shot and killed the 17-year-old gorilla named Harambe. (snip) Many are angry the endangered gorilla was put down. Others want the boy's mother to face child endangerment charges, CBS News' Jamie Yuccas reported. Facebook pages like "Justice for Harambe" are quickly spreading. The Facebook page currently has more than 11,000 likes. A petition on Change.org asks for new legislation...

One of the most entertaining "excerpts" circulated from Michael Wolff's explosive tell-all was a passage describing President Trump supposedly watching a “gorilla channel” for hours on end. The excerpt, of course, was a parody and wasn't actually from the “Fire and Fury” book. But it managed to fool plenty of Trump critics anyway, with an MSNBC contributor and others initially appearing to treat the passage as legit.

BOISE, Idaho (KIVI/CNN) — At an arcade bar in Boise, Idaho, people are crowding around and lining up to put quarters into a game called Harambe Kong. It’s similar to Donkey Kong, but this new game lets you play as Harambe, the gorilla that was shot and killed by a Cincinnati zoo keeper after a toddler fell into his cage. In the game, Harambe runs and jumps around to catch falling food for points, but if he touches a child, it’s game over in a dramatic and bloody fashion.

A Cheeto that bears a resemblance to slain gorilla Harambe has sold for nearly $100,000 on eBay. Bidding on the cheese snack the seller said he found in a bag of Flamin’ Hot Cheetos began at $11.99 on Jan. 28. It ended early Tuesday morning with a winning bid of $99,900. The listing showed a picture of the Cheeto side-by-side with a gorilla climbing a tree.

The CIA has concluded in a secret assessment that Russia intervened in killing Harambe the gorilla, according to officials briefed on the matter. Intelligence agencies have identified individuals with connections to the Russian government who provided WikiLeaks with thousands of hacked emails from the Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden and others, including Harambe’s own caretaker, according to U.S. officials. Those officials described the individuals as actors known to the intelligence community and part of a wider Russian operation to boost the nearby Columbus Zoo and Aquarium’s profits. “It is the assessment of the intelligence community that Russia’s goal here was to favor one...

Donna Brazile fired back at her former employer, saying CNN ripped her “a new one” instead of letting her defend herself against leaked emails showing she gave Hillary Clinton a sneak peak at debate questions. “I wish CNN had given me some other things, like the ability to defend myself rather than ripping me a new one,” Brazile said at a Monday event at Hollins University, according to the Roanoke Times. “CNN never gave me a question,” Brazile said of her resignation. Brazile, who is the interim chair of the Democratic National Committee, revealed that she’s still feeling pain over...

Interim Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Donna Brazile tweeted, “Please God, let this end soon” on Sunday night, an apparent reference to the frantic election cycle.

Democratic National Committee head Donna Brazile had an 18-year affair with a friend’s married white father, despite her feminist and anti-“white boys” rhetoric, according to an anonymous source with intimate knowledge of the matter. Brazile allegedly had a long, long affair with her white friend Ellen Kurz’s father, Herb Kurz. You won’t hear this stuff from the lying mainstream media — they’re in bed with Donna Brazile too!

It pains me to say it, but Donald Trump is right—the media is dishonest. Sure, there are some good journalists left on cable and in print, but, among the many revelations exposed by WikiLeaks, the alliance between supposedly neutral “analysts” and “journalists” with Hillary Clinton is one of the most jarring. Donna Brazile, a Democratic Party stalwart who became the first African American to run a presidential campaign during Al Gore’s 2000 run, was tapped in July to clean up the cloud of corruption Debbie Wasserman Schultz left at the DNC. . . . The only problem: Brazile herself was...

Update: Clemson University has issued a statement saying the ban was the result of one rogue employee and that students are free to publicly display Harambe at their dorms. Correction: the original article said the ban was the result of an “administrator” but in fact it was from a lone staff member with an official sounding title. The famed neuroscientist David Eagleman once said: “There are three deaths. The first is when the body ceases to function. The second is when the body is consigned to the grave. The third is that moment, sometime in the future, when your name...

A zoo in Cincinnati, Ohio, says it is "not amused" by the numerous memes and petitions created after one of its gorillas was shot dead. Staff killed Harambe in May after he grabbed a three-year-old boy who got into his enclosure. Since then he has become a favourite subject of jokers, satirists and campaigners.

While there is no doubt that Harvey Milk died in the service of his country, his contribution to American history pales in comparison to the Silverback magnificence that was Harambe. Harambe who gave his life in a volley of friendly fire. Harambe. It also offers a strategic advantage: the name Harambe — even whispered — will demand respect, obeisance, and awe. A USS Harambe will strike fear in the hearts of our enemies in a way that the name "Milk” never could. USS Harambe will remind the world that America never forgets its heroes. USS Harambe, this who we are.

A new study by the Media Research Center (MRC) has revealed that mainstream media devoted some six times as much air time to covering the recent death of Harambe the gorilla than they did to the gruesome Islamic State decapitation of 21 Coptic Christians on a Libyan beach last year. On Saturday, May 28, security officials shot a gorilla named Harambe to protect a three-year-old boy who'd fallen into the pen at the Cincinnati Zoo. In the five days that followed the animal’s death, the three major networks devoted a total of 1 hour, 28 minutes and 17 seconds to...

The killing of a gorilla at the Cincinnati Zoo after a 4-year-old boy tumbled into the ape's enclosure triggered outrage and questions about safety, but zoo officials called the decision to use lethal force a tough but necessary choice. More than 2,000 people signed a petition on Change.org that sharply criticized the Cincinnati Police Department and the zoo for putting down the animal and called for the child's parents to be "held accountable for their actions of not supervising their child." Cincinnati police on Sunday said the parents had not been charged, but that charges could eventually be sought by...
