Little Rock, Ark.

A homeless man called East End Mike claims he is the real winner of the 2021 Little Rock Marathon.

East End Mike says Little Rock Police Department cops ran him and other homeless folks out of the Rivermarket just before the race began. 

East End Mike says LRPD cops chased him onto the race course and tried to run him down with their tiny police car.

 

"Them cops was yelling and weaving all around runners on the road trying to catch up to me", stated East End Mike. He added, "Folks along the race kept cheering for me and hollering, go Mike go!"

We asked Marathon organizers about East End Mike's claim and they refused to provide a response.

A GoFundMe account has been set up to help East End Mike get off the streets and post bail.

 
 

Walt DIsney's frozen body will be thawed out in December 2021 in an attempt to resurrect him

Walt Disney, co-founder of The Walt Disney Company

Walt Disney was frozen in a cryogenic tank shortly after he died in the hopes that science would one day be able to reanimate his frozen body after a cure for his ailments were found. 

The time to test that theory has come. This coming December, to mark the 55th anniversary of Mr. Disney’s passing, The Cryonics Institute will set in motion reanimation procedures.

This whole event will be captured and recorded in a variety of ways. There will also be a live feed to see if Walt does wake up immediately. 

Sources inside The Cryonics Institute says it will take up to a week to know for sure if their efforts will have been successful.

Not Only did Walt hope for a cure, but he was also obsessed with what the world would be like in the future. 

Disney arranged to have himself frozen in cryonic chamber full of liquid nitrogen upon his death. 

Walt Disney’s health had been deteriorating for many months before he finally agreed to enter St. Joseph hospital in California on 2ovember 2,  1966, for tests concerning the pain in his leg and neck. Doctors discovered a walnut-sized spot on the x-ray of his left lung and advised immediate surgery.

Disney left the hospital to attend to studio business for a few days, then re-entered St. Joseph on Sunday, November 6, for surgery the next day. During Monday morning’s operation, doctors found his left lung to be cancerous and removed it. His oversized lymph nodes were an indication that Disney hadn’t much longer to live.

After two weeks of post-operative care, Disney was released from the hospital. He crossed the street to his studios and spent another ten days tending to studio business and visiting relatives before he grew too weak and had to return to St. Joseph on November 30. His health started to fail even more rapidly than expected, and drugs and cobalt treatments sapped what little strength he had left. Walt Disney died two weeks later when his circulatory system collapsed on the morning of December 15, 1966.

With the immense amount of changes that have occurred since his passing, we suspect there will be a steep learning curve, but who better than Mr. Disney himself to navigate this new world. It’s really a small world after all.

Overpass named for City Director in compensation for being denied Vice Mayor slot for two years in a row

 

A newly constructed overpass was named after Little Rock Ward 2 City Director Ken Richardson as compensation for his being denied the Vice Mayor position two years in a row.

The Little Rock City Board of Directors has an unwritten policy that the director that has never held the Vice Mayor position is selected by other board members to fill the position. 

Richardson has never held that position and was snubbed in 2020 when Ward 7 Director B.J. Wyrick was chosen to be Vice Mayor.

 And again this year when Ward 5 Director Lance Hines was selected.

 

So LR Mayor Franks Scott, Jr. issued an Executive Order naming the overpass after Richardson to "help ease the pain" of the institutional racism at City Hall.
