In an article, Furby was listed as one of the inflatables to show up in 6ABC’s Thanksgiving Parade in 1999, but I haven’t found footage of the event showing a Furby inflatable.

Four years ago, I did save a photo of a giant Furby inflatable since I couldn’t tell if it was official or a custom one. I still can’t confirm if it’s official and I’m not able to find the source anymore.

Also, shoutout to this awesome website and the people who archived it. Some really cool stuff on there was preserved and the website owner did an awesome job at documenting stuff.

The lawyer of an influencer who was charged with six felonies after she livestreamed herself as a crowd looted stores in Philadelphia says criticism of her client is racist. In an open letter, published on Instagram over the weekend, Jessica Mann, a managing attorney at Shaka Johnson, decried the "unjust portrayal" of Dayjia Blackwell. Blackwell, who is known as "Meatball" online, was charged with six felonies and two misdemeanors, including burglary and conspiracy, after being arrested mid-livestream last Tuesday.

In her own footage of the events, Blackwell could be heard laughing, cheering, and saying: "Tell the police they either lock me up tonight or it's going to get lit — it's going to be a movie."

But Johnson said the media response was unjust.

"It sickens me to witness the media's complicity in what can only be described as an all-out assault on black and brown people, as their character and actions are mercilessly vilified," she wrote.

Mann described Blackwell as a "vibrant and charismatic" Black woman who was "catapulted into the limelight" by her social media content. The content, she said, includes silly skits and pranks that "uplift her audience." But Mann said that the person described above doesn't "garner clicks" on websites. "So you post her mugshot with tears streaming down her face and her hair a mess to satisfy your need to get 'clicks' and sell a salacious story," Mann wrote. Mann also argued that the media should have focused on how Blackwell was "doing nothing more than capturing the raw reality of public outrage when she streamed the events" on September 26. Mann said the media had overlooked the "underlying catalyst" for her actions — the dismissal of charges against a former Philadelphia police officer who was arrested in the fatal shooting last month of Eddie Irizarry during a traffic stop. (Insider covered this in its initial reporting.)

But speaking to 6ABC Philadelphia last week, Philadelphia's interim police commissioner, John Stanford, accused Blackwell of leading a "caravan of looters" from store to store, as well as "committing burglaries and encouraging others to commit burglaries." 

At a press conference, he said that people looting Apple, Lululemon, and other stores were "criminal opportunists" piggybacking on the anger surrounding the Irizarry case. However, Mann, in the concluding remarks of the open letter, wrote: "How can we stand idly by as they continue to paint Dayjia as the perpetrator when she was merely holding up a mirror to Philadelphia so that it could see its ugly reflection?" Mann and Blackwell did not immediately respond to Insider's requests for comment.

Two men have been arrested after four females were abducted and held captive in a storage container in Pennsylvania following the witnessing of a shooting, officials say.

Davaun Carlon Jackson, 29, of East Stroudsburg and Isaiah Rogers-Keeney, 19, of Middletown were arrested by state troopers at a Walmart in Mount Pocono in Pennsylvania, at around 10.44am on Tuesday, according to law enforcement officials.

Jackson has been charged with kidnapping, rape and terroristic threats, among a string of other charges, while Rogers-Keeney is charged as an accomplice.

Their whereabouts came from a member of the public who claimed that a Ford SUV was traveling north on the freeway Route 33 with two of the victims inside.

Police said they caught up with the vehicle in the parking lot of a Walmart Supercenter. They found Rogers-Keeney and one of the victims inside the vehicle, and saw Jackson leaving the Walmart with a second victim.

“Troopers, along with the Pocono Mountain Regional, located the suspects’ vehicle at the Walmart in Monroe County. They waited and set up a perimeter, and when the suspects exited the Walmart, they were taken into custody,” Trooper Anthony Petroski of the Pennsylvania State Police told Local 21 News.

“Ultimately, it was discovered four females were kidnapped by two different individuals. They were bound, they were sexually assaulted, and they were threatened.”

Monroe County district attorney Mike Mancuso told WFMZ that the victims ranged from 17 to 21 years of age. Two of them had witnessed a shooting in the city of Wilkes-Barre, 6abc reported, citing court records.

After the shooting, they had been ordered into the Ford SUV, and once they were inside, saw that two other women were also in the vehicle.

The investigators believe that the men then took the women on Monday to a property in Smithfield Township owned by Jackson.

The four were then reportedly placed in a shipping container, with three bound with ropes and restrained.

Police say Jackson had threatened to kill the females, having “multiple weapons”, and that he sexually assaulted two of them.

“There was a car chase, there were kidnappings, transportation to places of isolation, threats of murder, of mayhem and sexual assaults,” Mancuso told WFMZ. “There was one minor there. The minor was 17 years old. The other ones were, the age range was, I believe 18 to 21.”

Jackson and Rogers-Keeney allegedly took the females to another property that Jackson also owns on Tuesday, where he let one of the victims have her phone back. She then called her mother, according to the district attorney.

“It was the mother of one of the victims that called the police,” Mancuso said.

The district attorney said that officials had been following Jackson before this incident occurred.

“There has been an investigation that has involved him over the course of the last several months,” Mancuso said.

He added that all of the victims, including the victim of the apparent shooting in Wilkes-Barre, are going to survive, and Monroe County is offering the four victims who were kidnapped access to mental health services.

An attorney listed for Rogers-Keeney told Newswatch 16, “The only statement I will make right now is that I have spoken with my client and that he maintains his innocence in this case.”
