A man kills a deer
A man kills a deer and takes it home to cook for dinner. Both he and his wife decide that they won't tell the kids what kind of meat it is, but will give them a clue and let them guess. The dad said, "Well it's what Mommy calls me sometimes." The little girl screamed to her brother, "Don't eat it. Its an asshole!
Eric Garner's Family Recorded An Emotional Tribute Song
The message is painfully clear: “This Ends Today.”
In the ongoing aftermath of a confrontation with NYPD that resulted in the choking and death of Eric Garner, the Staten Island man's brother and daughter have expressed their grief in an unlikely way: through song.

Entitled "This Ends Today", the emotionally gripping song features a rap verse and vocals from Garner's daughter Erica and his brother, Steven Flagg.
The song opens with a muffled voice recording of Garner's final words ("I can't breathe") before Erica sings the chorus: "Who is the man with the strength to choose? / When the rest refuse / And I say, 'This ends today.'"
Flagg then cuts in with a growly rap verse: "It's sad how my brother Eric Garner was killed / The pain in my heart still refuses to heal / Today some police be plottin' to kill."
The emotional lines reverberate throughout. "Justice or all, not justice for one/ This is how all this begun," Erica relays in her own rhymes. "What was the circumstances of his death?/ Why couldn't he take another breath?"
The track was produced by Flagg, but it apparently was the first time the 24-year-old has ever recorded a song. "It just came from the heart," he told New York Daily News . "We want to get it out there on the radio, anywhere, so as many people as possible hear it.”
