Darius Goes West - Story of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Suffering Darius Weems

Darius Goes West is an award winning movie about 15 year old Darius Weems who suffers from Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. The documentary follows the journey of Darius Weems and his eleven friends as they go across America to Los Angeles where Darius is hoping to get his wheelchair pimped out by MTV’s Pimp My Ride.

Darius Goes West is an extraordinary and touching documentary. Because of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, Darius Weems had never left his home town of Athens, Georgia. Then in 2005, when he was 15 he set out on his epic journey along with his friends and the film crew under direction of Logan Smalley. Since then, the movie has won awards at 27 film festivals.

Darius Weems is now 18 year old and the crew who previously got together to film Darius Goes West are back together again, this time with a mission to sell one million copies of the movie on DVD. The discs sell for $20, and with each DVD sold, $17 will go towards the efforts to treat or cure Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. This genetic disease claimed the life of Darius’ brother who died at the age of 19. On a worldwide scale, Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy is the #1 terminal genetic disease for children.

Thug Attempts to Mug Asian Kid, Gets His Ass Owned (vid)

Sunday, February 15th, 2009

This Asian kid is my hero. There is no sound with this video, but picture tells all. Worthless thug attempts to mug the kid, who is trying to buy a ticket and has large bags on him. He may have looked like a tourist, hence presumably vulnerable and an easy victim. Well, needless to say, thug picked a wrong kid to mess with. Asian boy was having none of that shit and fought back.

The whole incident allegedly took place in Atlanta, Georgia and that Asian kid is allegedly a student at Georgia tech. The thug who attempted to mug him got his ass kicked in a no bullshit choke hold and not only ended up without easy money, he actually landed himself a 3 year jail term. Well, deserved. And the kid who took him down deserves a fucking medal.

The only question on people’s minds right now is – why such clear recording of attempted mugging hasn’t made national news? Well, it would be politically and morally incorrect to say that if it was a black kid who got mugged, we would have likely all heard of it and seen masses of fellow African American marching the streets. But as I’d said, that’s not politically and morally correct hence I can’t suggest something that heretic on here. Come to think of it – it would never actually happen anyway. I mean – when was the last time you’ve heard of a black kid getting mugged by an Asian thug?
