Rare Air: LeBron James Joins Michael Jordan As The NBA’s Only Billionaires

Restaurant Deliveryman Stalked & Killed After Dispute Over Duck Sauce
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Spencer Platt / Getty While mass shootings continue to plague America thanks to a certain political party’s reluctance to enact common sense gun laws, regular gun violence has also been problematic across the board, especially in New York City.

The reason? Duck sauce. We’re not even joking. Last April, Hirsch followed Yan as he left the Great Wall restaurant he worked for to make his deliveries. Angry about not getting a refund he requested months earlier for not getting enough duck sauce with his order, Hirsch waited u...
