Last Friday while folks in Hollywood were getting ready for the weekend, a distraught man walked into the busy and popular intersection of Sunset and Vine in Los Angeles’ celebrity-filled district and began shooting at passing vehicles and bystanders. It took a while for most bystanders to react as they thought it was part of a movie set.
The shooter, Tyler Brehm, was an unemployed 26 year old who had recently moved to Los Angeles and had just went through a break up with his girlfriend of four years. She told the local news that he had started taking drugs and had been really stressed out lately.
Brehm injured three people, including a 40 year old music industry executive who was driving his Mercedes through the interception. When he ran out of ammunition, he pulled out a knife and began screaming, ‘Kill Me, I want to be killed’. He got his wish as officers who were called to the scene opened fire and he was pronounced dead at the scene.
According to his friends, he wasn’t a bad guy, he just got fed up.

RE-Fresh: Nike Air Force 180 High (1991)
Written by: Jesse Carr
David Robinson played the game with fire and unmistakable poise. His on-court persona didn’t, however, match his placid demeanor outside the gym. Many know him as Mr. Robinson, the moniker bestowed on him by a famous Nike campaign, while others knew him as the Admiral – a name derived from his service for the U.S. Naval Academy. Robinson dominated the hardwood, and perhaps his most awe-inspiring accomplishment was a quadruple-double with more 34 points, 10 assists, 10 rebounds, and 10 blocks against the Pistons in 1994. On the court, he wore a few famous Nike models, including this segment’s RE-Fresh model, the Air Force 180 from 1991. Reebok’s basketball line is best known for the innovation of their Pump technology, which Nike countered with three models of its own, the Air Pressure, the Air Command Force, and the Air Force 180.
These ultra-high top sneakers showcased Nike’s rugged “Force” line of basketball kicks geared for the rigors of the frontcourt. Their lighter, backcourt kicks worn by the likes of Scottie Pippen and Ron Harper, comprised the “Flight” series best known for their sleek, streamlined design. Robinson’s game was refined and technically sound, as he was a powerful 7-footer with an All-American pedigree. Boasting strong grades and a degree in mathematics, Mr. Robinson was the first overall pick in the 1987 draft, though the San Antonio Spurs knew they would need to wait until he served his two years in the Navy as a civil engineer to see him on the court.

Videos (For the Kids): Diggy ft. Jeremih (aka: Mr. Surrebral Posey)
Butchering words like cerebral and palsy, it’s no surprise that Jeremih would fit right in with the kiddy song, Do It Like You, by young newcomer, Diggy Simmons.
I usually stay far away from videos featuring the kids because I think that a lot of my commentary may be a little inappropriate, but I couldn’t resist an open opportunity to drag Jeremih about that Kat Stacks incident from yesteryear.
