 Artvangrow Aka Amanda Marie Keshner: Who Is She? Reddit Video & Employees Fired Details


A TikTok user, who goes by the name Amanda Marie (@artvangrowllc), has come under fire for verbally abusing a Home Depot employee and then posting a review of her inappropriate behavior on social media. Her racist behavior has garnered much attention and she is being referred to as "Karen" on Twitter. In the video, she can be seen telling a Black Home Depot worker that he is getting fired and instructing him to go back to his country. Her vile actions drew harsh criticism from commenters and she has since removed the posts from her numerous networks. She appears to feel sorry for herself in her most recent TikTok post due to all the harsh backlash her hatred has caused. According to Amanda on her Facebook, the two employees were transferred to another state, and the two apologized for the incident and would pay her the $1,000. She demanded several thousand bucks for an unspecified purpose. It's thought that the argument started because her influencer discount was turned down.

 Teen Who Turned in Rioter Dad: He ‘Absolutely’ Deserves His Long Sentence

Teen Who Turned in Rioter Dad: He ‘Absolutely’ Deserves His Long Sentence

The teen who turned his dad in for participating in the Capitol riot said his father “absolutely” deserved to get the longest prison sentence yet and will hopefully be rehabilitated in prison. “I haven’t been happy about this whole situation...but to say I’m surprised would be a lie,” Jackson Reffitt told CNN. “Everything my dad did—he’s his own person. And his action has consequences.” Guy Reffitt was sentenced to more than seven years in prison on Monday for bringing a loaded gun to the riot, where he threatened House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. When he returned home, he threatened to shoot his kids if they said anything but Jackson still tipped off the FBI. He told CNN his father was used as a “puppet” for Trump, and that he agreed with his sister Peyton when she said Monday that Trump deserves “life in prison” for manipulating thousands of people for political gain.

 New York City stores are locking up Spam and other foods amid shoplifting surge


Some New Yorkers are resorting to theft as inflation lifts the cost of everyday goods, including food. Drugstores in parts of New York City are on high alert amid a rise in shoplifting and are increasing security measures to stop theft. Cans of Spam, a cooked pork product that retails for $3.99 per 12-ounce tin, appeared to be encased in an antitheft container at a Duane Reade store in Manhattan, according to a customer who shared an image of the loss-prevention device on Twitter.

 Oklahoma woman slips out of cuffs and shoots officer with his AR 15


An Oklahoma police officer was shot by a woman who had been detained in the back of his patrol car, after she freed herself from her handcuffs and took possession of the officer's semi-automatic rifle. The police officers had arrived at the residence of Rachel Clay for a welfare check, as per local news outlet KWTV-TV. Clay was behaving erratically and had to be detained in a police car. Video footage from inside the vehicle showed Clay alone in the backseat, attempting to free herself from the handcuffs. Eventually, she succeeded in freeing one of her hands, reached through the partition between the front and back seats, grabbed the officer's AR-15, and started shooting. Reports indicate that she fired 10 shots, injuring a civilian and a deputy. The Grady County Sheriff's Office confirmed that one officer was wounded with non-life-threatening injuries. Clay was arrested after a three-hour standoff in the car and charged with shooting with intent to kill. She is being held under a $1 million bond. According to ABC-7, Clay tested positive for methamphetamines, and court documents cited by KFor, an Oklahoma news site, revealed that she has a history of mental illness and is currently unmedicated. Grady County Undersheriff Gary Boggess called the incident a "freak deal," adding that the authorities are examining ways to prevent it from happening again.

The incident occurred at around 3:30 a.m. on August 22, at their home in Stone Mountain, as reported by the DeKalb County Police Department.

 Houston woman says she was poisoned after touching napkin on her car, her story goes viral


On her birthday, Erin Mims and her husband were leaving a restaurant in Houston when she noticed a napkin wedged in the passenger door handle of their car. She removed it, but later noticed that the fingers she used to open the door were tingling. Soon after, she began experiencing more severe symptoms including numbness, difficulty breathing, chest pains, and a racing heartbeat. Her husband rushed her to the hospital, where doctors found evidence of acute poisoning from an unknown substance in her system. Her doctor even suggested that it sounded like a failed kidnap attempt. Mims shared her experience on social media, and her post went viral. While some comments suggested that she was suffering from a panic attack, others claimed similar scenarios had happened to them. Poison control experts say that her symptoms match hundreds of different poisons, but her exposure would be considered minimal. Mims is urging others to be careful, and the local hair salon owner filed an assault report with the Houston Police Department. The restaurant has not responded to requests for comment.

 Dallas Youth Softball program raffles AR-15-style gun after Florida school shooting

A softball program in Dallas is facing criticism for holding a fundraising raffle for a semiautomatic AR-15 rifle. The Lady Dragons fast-pitch softball program, which is not affiliated with the school district, is raising money for equipment, field improvements, and keeping registration fees low. The raffle for the rifle will take place on April 4th, with tickets priced at $25. The program has stated that the winner of the raffle will have to pass background checks and that the rifle was donated by a private donor. Some residents have called the fundraiser tone-deaf and inappropriate, especially in the aftermath of the Parkland, Florida, school shooting. The program board members who approved the fundraiser have been criticized for their decision, which has caused division in the community. Despite the criticism, the softball program has stated that the raffle is legal and well-regulated and has been used successfully by similar sports organizations in the past.

 Senator Anna Kaplan Condemns Use of Nazi Salute by Political Candidates

Senator Anna M. Kaplan (D-North Hills) issued a statement condemning the use of a Nazi-like salute at recent rallies held by former President Donald Trump and Republican Gubernatorial Candidate Doug Mastriano of Pennsylvania. Supporters were urged to hold up their right hands in a manner similar to the "Heil Hitler" salute used by the Nazis.

Senator Kaplan emphasized the importance of learning about the Holocaust to prevent repeating the darkest chapter in history. The use of Nazi symbolism and imagery in political events is unacceptable, and Senator Kaplan calls on all Americans to join her in denouncing it. She also calls on the campaigns to immediately stop using this salute at their rallies.

6-year-old Hamilton girl escapes kidnapping attempt in front of her home

A 6-year-old girl has spoken out after narrowly escaping an attempted kidnapping outside her Hamilton home. The young girl was taking out the trash when a man suddenly grabbed her and attempted to take her away. The incident was captured on a doorbell camera at the family home, and police later arrested 33-year-old Deric McPherson on charges of abduction and inappropriate grabbing.

The girl recounted the terrifying experience to ABC News, explaining how she screamed when the man grabbed her, which she thinks caused him to let go. Her father drove off to follow the perpetrator and called the police. The family credits the girl's smart response and ability to fight off her attacker as the reason she was able to escape unharmed.

Child advocates Callahan Walsh from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children praised the girl's actions, noting that in more than 83% of cases where a child prevents an abduction, it's due to their proactive response. The family is understandably shaken by the incident but relieved that their daughter is safe.

Gunman sets fire to homes and opens fire on fleeing victims

According to authorities, a gunman ignited a series of fires in Houston homes during the early hours of Sunday morning and then proceeded to shoot at victims as they attempted to flee from the flames. The attack was carried out in ambush-style, resulting in the deaths of three individuals, before the perpetrator was killed by police.

The incident occurred at approximately 1 am on Dunlap Street in the southwest region of Houston, catching residents off-guard as they slept soundly in their homes. Houston Police have reported that the suspect, a Black male in his 40s who was allegedly evicted from the building, set fire to multiple residences to draw victims outside.

The assailant then hid in the darkness, dressed entirely in black attire and armed with a shotgun. As frightened residents escaped the burning buildings, the shooter took aim and opened fire on them.

Baby is snatched by Stranger after mother turned her back on the eight-month-old


In a South African supermarket, a male shop employee snatched an eight-month-old baby from her mother's shopping trolley as she turned her back for just ten seconds to select food from the chilled meat fridges. The butchery assistant was caught on CCTV lifting the baby out of the trolley and walking away with her in his arms. The mother, Daniella Wolff, was horrified to find her daughter missing and shouted out in horror before chasing after the employee and grabbing her baby back from him. She later shared the CCTV footage on Facebook and reported the incident to the police, resulting in the arrest of the employee. SuperSpar, the supermarket where the incident took place, suspended the employee and cooperated with the authorities in their investigation.

 Twin sisters shot waiter in the face over $3 hamburger

Twin sisters shot waiter in the face over $3 hamburger

Two twin sisters are facing charges of attempted first-degree intentional homicide after a violent incident at a restaurant in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, in which they allegedly shot a server. The January 30 incident is one of the latest examples of violence targeting food service industry employees during the coronavirus pandemic when there have been reported labor shortages and supply chain interruptions. The sisters, identified as Breanta and Bryanna Johnson in a criminal complaint, were two of four women arrested by Wauwatosa police in connection with the incident.

According to the complaint, the sisters and two others were being "impatient and rude" while sitting in a corner booth inside the restaurant and started arguing with employees because their food wasn't being served quickly enough. When the employees asked them to leave, Breanta Johnson allegedly went outside and brought back a handgun. Bryanna Johnson is accused of trying to "pistol whip" the server while her sister fought with him, and was identified as the one who allegedly shot him in the face.


The violence against restaurant workers has been on the rise in recent years, with a survey released in December reporting more than 77,000 incidents of violence or threats of violence in nine of California's major cities between 2017 and 2020. This trend has continued in recent weeks, with incidents such as a shooting at a McDonald's restaurant in St. Louis and a Wendy's employee suffering a gunshot wound to the head in Phoenix during an argument over barbecue sauce. Additionally, a survey last summer found that 62% of restaurant workers reported experiencing emotional abuse and disrespect from customers.

According to warrants, Griggs used a large kitchen knife to stab Harrell before setting her on fire. Harrell had moved to Atlanta over thirty years ago and had been a member of Central United Methodist Church for over twenty-five years before accepting the call to become a senior pastor.


Harrell was known for her desire to help others, and the news of her passing left many close friends and family members heartbroken. Bishop Sue Haupert-Johnson of the North Georgia Conference of The United Methodist Church issued a statement expressing her sadness over Harrell’s passing and extended her condolences to Harrell’s family, church, and loved ones.

 Man who spent 33 years in prison back behind bars, now charged with attempted murder

Man who spent 33 years in prison back behind bars, now charged with attempted murder

On Friday night, a man was shot and hospitalized for non-life-threatening injuries on A. Phillip Randolph Boulevard in Jacksonville. Edward Taylor was subsequently arrested and charged with attempted murder. The police obtained a description of the shooter from surveillance footage that captured the incident. The footage shows the suspect walking towards the victim, pointing a firearm at him, and shooting him in the chest. The suspect's vehicle had several bullet holes in it and was caught on camera driving away. The police later found Taylor removing items from the trunk of his car, which also had bullet holes in it, and arrested him. Taylor claimed that he heard a single gunshot and left the scene, but his car was hit by gunfire, and he pulled over to change his tire when the police apprehended him.


Taylor was granted parole and released from prison in 2019. The State Attorney's Office's Conviction Integrity Review received three separate referrals regarding Taylor's 1986 conviction for sexually assaulting a child. The review found that evidence had not been disclosed to Taylor's defense and that there were other errors in the case, leading to his exoneration in 2010. However, Taylor's unrelated arrest will be reviewed by the State, which will make a filing decision. Taylor is currently being held on a $1.1 million bond and is scheduled to appear in court on July 18.
