Norris Terrell Charged With Murder For Occupy Oakland Slaying

OAKLAND, Calif. -- A fugitive has been charged with murder after a protester was killed last month near the former Occupy Oakland encampment outside City Hall, authorities said Friday.

Norris Terrell, 20, is awaiting extradition to California after being arrested Sunday in Lexington, Ky., for the Nov. 10 slaying of Kayode Ola Foster, 25, who had been staying at the anti-Wall Street site in Oakland for at least two weeks, police said.

Terrell left Oakland on a bus the day after the shooting and fled to Kentucky, where authorities found him at a friend's house, interim police Chief Howard Jordan said.

Police said Foster was shot in a fight, possible over alcohol, on the City Hall plaza. At least six gunshots were fired, creating chaos among occupiers and eyewitnesses and sparking community outrage that led police to shut down the camp four days later.

Police arrested three other men in connection with the attack.

Joseph Anthony Gholston, 32, Excell McKinley, 20, and Carleon Roberson, 18, all of Oakland, were charged Thursday with assault with a deadly weapon for beating Foster before the shooting, police said.

Jordan said cooperation from the public and surveillance video led to the arrests.

"We've been following a bunch of leads since that day, and we received a lot of calls from citizens who provided us with key information," Jordan said.

Terrell also was charged with shooting into an occupied dwelling when a bullet meant for Foster went through a window and grazed a worker inside, police said.

It was unclear whether Terrell has a lawyer. Attorneys for Gholston, McKinley and Roberson could not be reached for comment. The three men charged with assault are due in court on Dec. 7.

An investigation was ongoing.

PFT: Angry Reid defends Jackson's effort

Steve Maneri,  Troy PolamaluAP

Congratulations, Steelers.? Your use of a term other than ?concussion? has officially given the condition the same stigma as herpes, HIV, and leprosy.

Why else would safety Troy Polamalu refuse to say on Friday whether he suffered a concussion five nights earlier against the Chiefs?? Andrew Stockey of WTAE asked the question, and Polamalu took the fifth on whether he has sustained his eighth known concussion.

Regardless of the reason, it?s bizarre that a team and a player would be so defiant when it comes to acknowledging what anyone who has had fewer than 50 concussions realizes:? Against the Chiefs, Troy Polamalu sustained a concussion.

The mere fact that he refused to answer the question confirms it.

Perhaps the Steelers have avoided the ?C? word in order to keep a truly independent neurologist out of the team?s and the player?s business.? Or maybe the goal is to subtly influence players to try to conceal their ?concussion-like symptoms? whenever and wherever possible, as part of facing down the demons inherent to the sport.

?That?s the fear, I think, that any player faces, and that?s the fear that anybody, any individual faces ? overcoming any certain fears of being a coward, you know, or letting your teammates down or turning down a hit,? Polamalu said regarding whether he?s concerned about a hit to the head that could cause long-term damage.? ?That?s the beautiful thing about sports, is these fears are right in your face and it?s pretty obvious if you turn them down or not.? I have the fear.? No question about it.? But I?m willing to fight it, for sure.?

I continue to believe that football players who are lucid and capable of making informed decisions should be permitted to assume all risks associated with playing football, even if they are still suffering from concussion-like (or concussion-actual) symptoms.? For now, the issue is whether the Steelers will fully embrace and respect the league?s current rules, which contemplate a full tearing down of the wall that resides between ?rubbing dirt on it? and acknowledging that serious, long-term damage could be done to a fairly vital organ.

Those rules entail encouraging players to be candid, not secretive, about the condition of their brains.? Polamalu?s simple refusal to admit the obvious shows conclusively that, within the Steelers organization, there?s an implicit understanding that confronting the fear of serious injury includes shrugging off the blows to the head that don?t create serious problems in the short term.

All deadly dull and prefectly acceptable. Dinners provided after appointment or at a conference. No values listed but hey these are finance people, they will be reasonable. Note the absence of one Andrew Travers from the free dinners list - perhaps all suppliers have read the blogs and know that he is on ?1,000 a day and so can afford to buy his own dinner, possibly even his own restaurant?

Yours frugally

Mr Mustard

Comedian Patrice O'Neal dies, had suffered stroke (AP)

NEW YORK ? Veteran stand-up comic Patrice O'Neal, who gained a wider following through TV and radio and helped roast Charlie Sheen, died Tuesday from complications of a stroke he suffered last month. He was 41.

O'Neal's manager, Jonathan Brandstein, said he died in a New York-area hospital.

"Many of us have lost a close and loved friend; all of us have lost a true comic genius," Brandstein said in a statement.

O'Neal appeared on Conan O'Brien's and David Letterman's TV shows and was a frequent guest on the "Opie & Anthony" radio show on Sirius XM. His performance was a highlight of the Comedy Central roast of Sheen, who had been fired from the hit CBS comedy "Two and a Half Men," in September.

Sheen said in a tweet Tuesday, "The entertainment world as well as the world at large lost a brilliant man."

He added, "Patrice had that rare `light' around him and inside of him. I only knew him for the few days leading up the Roast. Yet I will forever be inspired by his nobility, his grace and his epic talent. My tears today are for the tremendous loss to his true friends and loving family."

Other entertainers also mourned O'Neal on Twitter.

"RIP Patrice O'Neal. You made us laugh til we cried," comedian Sarah Silverman said.

Actor Jay Mohr said, "Just heard. Goodnight brother. Damn. Just ridiculous. Terrible. Beyond sad."

O'Neal had half-hour specials on Showtime and HBO and was the host of "Web Junk 20" on VH1. He appeared in numerous television shows including "Arrested Development," "Chappelle's Show" and "The Office."

O'Neal suffered a stroke on Oct. 19 after battling diabetes. He is survived by his wife, Vondecarlo, his stepdaughter, Aymilyon, his sister, Zinder, and his mother, Georgia.

Brandstein, his manager, said the family wished to thank "all of the fans and friends who have expressed an outpouring of love and support for Patrice these past weeks."
