You can see the steps that a man walked up just before 9 00 g and then walk down after shooting the owner, marie buck owned this store and opened it when Richard Nixon was president. That is nine president s in the time elect since she own this store. How many generation did his she feed and how about pack a school lunch too on the way to school or a cool drink on the way home. We talk with Philadelphia Police officers who said he was just in there buying a snap he will from her. Always a nice conversation and showing appreciation for police, never worried that she would need police other than to say good morning to. Here we are doing this devastating story, days after Christmas Eve and hearing devastating feelings from people who worked with her, delivering stuff, taking out the trash, and buying stuff from her, and if you have not seen her yet heres a video of marie buck. People were surprised when she was 81 years old because she had energy of somebody in her 50s and 60s everybody said but maybe she was 70 because she was still working, and now look at a other video, john roads road delivery truck. John knew her for decade, delivered to her for almost three decade and told us how devastated he was when he came over here this morning. You delivered things for 28 years, when you heard somebody shot and killed her on Christmas Eve morning what went through your mind. I was crushed. I didnt believe it.

She was really into it. I never realized she was 81 years old. I thought she was 72 or something. But she was always like an aunt to me. I know people call her aunt marie but when this happened, i went right to facebook and just, you know, that is how i described her like a aunt, somebody i would always like talk to, you know. She cared about everybody, you know, and when i went on facebook i thought maybe i was a little too mushy but after watching people who knew marie , everybody loved her. She was great. She was a real great lady. You know, this neighborhood will be different without her, you know. You know, she cared about these people. Reporter the fact that she was killed on her favorite holidays and there are signs that people knew christmas was maries favorite day of the year.

There is a Drexel University professor under fire for tweet s he posted over the who will take weekend. People were talking about this all across this country, on the cover of all kind of papers because we have this professor, his name is George Ciccariello mayor who said all i want for christmas is White Genocide. Thinks the tweet this is on the philly voice web site. The post was exposed by a conservative web site breitbart. So this is an associate professor of politics and Race Relations. He said the tweet was satire mocking white supremacist. The university called this comment utterly reprehensible. Kind of a pretty messed up to state whatever he was trying to say. I dont think that is okay. It is hard to know for certain if someone is being satyrical in such a conn strained format but i understand where he is coming from. I think whites are very complacent about White Supremacy and i think he was right to make a point about it the university has scheduled a meeting with the associate professor to discuss the comments and exactly what he did mean. Happening right now, apparently there is word George Michael may not have been well in his final days. We will have more on that just a little bit but first we are looking at a tweet. According to people at et, entertainment tonight, it was artists boyfriend who fist discovered him dead on bed Christmas Day. He posted this tweet. It is a christmas i will never forget. Finding your partner dead peacefully in bed first thing in the morning. I will never stop missing you. So, reportedly he didnt like to go out in public, that is his doorstep because he had put on wait the wait there were pictures from Early September and people that had seen him and you can see some of the pictures that he didnt look well, in his english county going out to dinner in Early September. He was pretty unhealthy. George michael died at age 53 from heart failure, it is believed, because he is so young and there are so many tributes, notes, flowers, even at one of his matches there, he was soccer crazy. Fans from the stands started singing one of their favorite hits. That is last christmas, i know it is hard to hear over the a thensers but you hear people singing it this was during second half at Manchester United match. All right. It is 7 11. A lot of you have opinions about this one donald trump firing back at president obama s claims he could have won a third term in the white house if they were matched up. It is all part of the series of tweets from the president elect addressing everything from the United Nation toss even his Charitable Foundation. Doug luzader joining us from washington we have a lot to talk about my friend. Good morning, donald trump is turning to his so, media platform of choice and that is of course, twitter. Most noteably this who would have won this a match up of obama and trump. He has done it twice but could president obama pulled off a third term if it was allowed under the constitution . It the is successor doesnt think so. Donald trump tweeting president obama said he thinks he would have won against me. He should say that but i say in way. It was a direct response to president obama claim on a recent pod cast. Im confident that if i run again and articulated i would have majority of american people. Trumps tweet go well beyond match ups, he blasted the u. N. For israeli settlements and white house decision to allow to it move forward, joining firearm of criticism from the Israeli Government that rocked the administration. Im a bit, i wouldnt say im surprised but disappointed in the volume of the reaction because i think it fails to acknowledge that totality of this president s record. Reporter trump is defending his Charitable Foundation which he is shutting down to avoid conflict as it is under investigation by new yorks attorney general. He is taking credit for new optimism, saying the world was glummy before i won there was in hope. Now market is up nearly 10 percent and Christmas Spending is over a trillion dollars back to this parlor game. We never would have known for sure how this turned out. President obamas approval numbers are pretty good, two recent poles out that have him at 56 percent, not bad for a second term president , karen and thomas. People get so fired up, even talking bit, they think you are biased. It is not going to happen. It is hypothetical. You have to wonder what would we do without twitter, doug. Where would we get our stories from. Reporter it is funny, it amplifies everything that trump toss, because it is not just the fact that people see him on twitter. That is a pretty limited universe. But fact that here we are talking about it. I mean this really toss get worldwide attention every time trump issues a tweet. Yesterday was supposed to be the busiest shopping day of the year. Black friday you are on line but mall madness. Mall in new jersey we will show you, mall down in texas, aurora, colorado.
