Flag thief’s Nazi shock Ricky shuns mega money web promos
ADOLF Hitler sycophant Alexander Feaster is facing charges of assault and battery with a deadly weapon, and shooting with the intent to kill, after firing at a woman trying to take down his Nazi flags.
The 45-year-old lay in wait after seeing revellers at a party opposite his Oklahoma home eyeing his swastika banners. He allegedly opened fire on Kyndal Mcvey, 26, after she accepted a challenge to swipe one of the flags attached to his home. While she managed to take one, her getaway was stopped when Feaster allegedly opened fire on her at the end of his driveway.

NEBRASKAN farmer Wynn Hall drained out his irrigation pond to find what he thought was a fridge was an empty cash machine.

MY barman Richard is away with the family this week, but as America opens back up I saw a funny sign in a local shop. It read: “Children left unattended will be given a Red Bull, a promise of Mcdonald’s and a free puppy.” There wasn’t one left alone.
ALESSANDRA Ambrosio flaunts her flawless physique in a revealing red bikini.
The Victoria’s Secret star, 39, spent a sun-kissed day on the beach with friends in LA. And the model looked like she was enjoying herself soaking up some rays while going for a paddle.
RICKY Gervais has blasted reality stars and social media influencers as he revealed he has turned down “embarrassing” sponsored posts.
The comedian, 59, says he regularly gets offered huge money to endorse products like the Kardashians do.
But he called on businesses to donate to charity instead of paying celebs.
He said: “I keep getting offered these things, right, like proper mental money to do endorsed tweets.
Honest
“The Kardashians get 20 grand for sitting on a bench and saying: ‘Ooh I love this new chocolate bar.’
“I’ve been offered that sort of thing. I’ve always said no because it’s sort of embarrassing. I want myself to be real.
“Maybe I should just say to companies, why can’t they just be honest?”
The Office star said he didn’t mind doing an advert where “everyone knows” he gets paid as “that’s the game”.
He asked why he could not just praise products he liked such as Brewdog beer and tell the firm to give to charity.
The funnyman added: “I’ve got enough money. I endorse things and they bung some stuff. Everyone wins.”
Brewdog pledged to donate to four animal charities following Ricky’s mention in an online Q&A with fans.
