Man shot by Boston officers planned to behead cop: FBI

Mother breaks down in CVS lot where son was shot down Tears. The heartbroken family of a 26-year-old man who police say plotted to kill cops before he was gunned down wants answers.

The family of a 26-year-old man shot dead by Boston police and FBI agents Tuesday gathered in the parking lot of the Roslindale CVS where he was killed to call for a “complete and transparent investigation.”

The veiled mother of Usaama Rahim — who prosecutors say called a friend to plot killing “boys in blue” in Massachusetts the morning he was shot — broke down in tears as her lawyer said the family wanted to know the truth about what happened in the Washington Street parking lot as much as anyone.

“What the family wants to do is enter into a joint relationship with investigators to get to the truth,” Ronald Sullivan, a Harvard Law School professor, said as the mom, Rahimah Rahim had tears running down her face. “The facts will lead us where the facts lead us.”

Already, on Wednesday, members of the Boston police

invited the family, as well as local Muslim and black leaders, to view surveillance footage of the shooting, which was not yet released to the public.

“We salute Suffolk County District Attorney Dan Conley for showing the surveillance footage to the family and its lawyers in advanced of the public seeing it,” Sullivan said. “We trust that such transparency will be extended to the family throughout the course of this investigation.”

But Sullivan added that the officers had approached Rahim without a warrant and without suspicion of any illegal activities, contradicting prosecutors statements that they have evidence that Rahim was planning to decapitate a member of law enforcement.

Rahim had been under surveillance for at least three years and was under 24/7 watch for the last three weeks.

He had allegedly been in contact with his nephew, David Wright, who was arrested Tuesday evening and was charged with conspiracy to obstruct justice. He’d joked in wiretapped phone conversations with Wright about “thinking with your head on your chest,” which

“I don’t not believe that whatever transpired warranted him to be killed. They can capture elephants without killing them. You can capture wild dogs. You can capture tigers, lion and bears.”

Faaruuq

Special Agent Joseph Galietta described as “a reference of some foreign terrorist organizations to behead targets and place their heads on their chests in propaganda videos” in an affidavit.

But members of his family fear his race may have played a role.

“If he were not Muslim,

we would not be hearing the word ‘terrorism.’ We wouldn’t be talking about ISIS,” said Rahim’s aunt, who identified herself as Karen.

Imam Abdullah Faaruuq of Masjid for the Praising of Allah said Rahim would infrequently attend the Friday prayer at the mosque and showed no visible sign of be-

ing radicalized.

“I don’t not believe that whatever transpired warranted him to be killed,” said Faaruuq. “They can capture elephants without killing them. You can capture wild dogs. You can capture tigers, lion and bears.

Faaruuq saw footage of the shooting, which he said was inconclusive. He said that officers, who were not in uniform, approached Rahim, who “wagged his tongue and seemingly said inappropriate things.” The five members of law enforcement backed up a few paces before opening fire.

“I am very concerned without public safety,” Faaruuq said. “As I saw in the film, there was a school bus going by in the morning with children going to school. I believe this shooting was very reckless and it led to the young man’s death. I think the young man put his head in the jaws of a lion and it got crushed.”

“I tell people not to watch those propaganda videos, not to watch that garbage because it is not Islam.”

Rahim is set to be buried in Canton today.

New Bedford to host sailing if Olympic bid succeeds Get the latest

New Bedford has been chosen as the sailing venue if the 2024 Olympics are held in Boston. / NICOLAUS CZARNECKI

New Bedford will host the Olympic and Paralympic sailing on Buzzards Bay should the 2024 Summer Games head to Boston.

Boston 2024 CEO Rich Davey and Mayor Jon Mitchell announced the partnership Thursday afternoon at a press conference held at Fort Taber.

Organizers believe that this expanded venue proposition will strengthen Boston’s chances of hosting the Summer Games.

“As sailors know, there’s no better place to sail than these waters here,” Mitchell said.

“We have a great city centered in Buzzards Bay, which we believe makes the best sense to host the sailing events.”

Davey said that Buzzards Bay was an ideal location to host the events instead of

Boston Harbor as Boston 2024 opened their 2.0 plan, making Fort Taber the first venue announcement.

Davey said that sailors would start to arrive in 2017 after the International Olympic Committee designates Boston to host the Games.

“The sailors who will be here nine years from now know that there is no better place, not just in Massachusetts, but in all of America to have the sailing events,” Davey said.

“By having the competition here, it gives New Bedford an opportunity to expand on their legacy and to showcase their beauty to the world.”

New Bedford is the largest fishing port in the United States. NATE HOMAN

‘Missing.’ $600K art lost in BPL found exactly where it was supposed to be Two rare pieces of artwork reported missing from the Boston Public Library — valued to an estimated $600,000 — were found Thursday in the library’s own stacks exactly where they were supposed to be.

But, unfortunately for Boston Public Library president Amy Ryan, the rare Rembrandt etching and Albrecht Dürer engraving were not found before she announced she would be resigning on July 3. Her resignation was largely due to the mounting criticism from Mayor Marty Walsh’s administration after pieces supposedly went missing in April.

Lauren Shott, a conservation officer, found the artworks 80 feet from where they should’ve been after looking through the library’s stacks herself.

The works, an 8-by-11 inch Durer etching titled “Adam and Eve,” and a 5-by-6 inch Rembrandt self-portrait were both filed to their cor-

rect locations, the library said.

For eight weeks, 14 library staff members searched more than half of the library’s 200-year-old inventory and the FBI and Boston Police Department also launched investigations.

Ryan announced she would resign after eight years at the helm of America’s oldest public library.

“I love Boston, and I love the Boston Public Library,” Ryan, 64, said in a telephone interview with the Boston

Globe. “I teamed up with the staff and the public and we accomplished a lot of great things.”

The Rembrandt etching valued between $20,000 and $30,000 and an Albrecht Dürer engraving of Adam and Eve worth more than $600,000 were reported missing on April 8.

The Walsh administration hammered Ryan for claiming to not know about the missing pieces that BPL staff knew were missing for nearly a year. CHRISTINA BEIENE

Authorities unlikely to stop 2016 election fundraising free-for-all

The White House hopefuls raking in record amounts of money in the 2016 U.S. presidential race are already being accused by watchdog groups of breaking campaign fundraising laws.

But the U.S. Department of Justice is unlikely to prosecute possible violations and halt the funding free-forall, say current and former department oďŹ&#x192;cials.

With deadlock in the campaign ďŹ nance regulator, the Federal Election Commission, watchdog groups are calling on the Justice Department to investigate contendenders such as Republican ublican

Jeb Bush, who they say has conducted a charade of â&#x20AC;&#x153;non candidacyâ&#x20AC;? to skirt federal election fundraising laws.

Interviews with 11 current and former Justice Department oďŹ&#x192;cials indicate the department is unlikely to enforce rules before the November 2016 election, or even after.

That means the election could unfold with record money raised â&#x20AC;&#x201D; predictions are for overall campaign chests of more than $5 billion, double the cost of the 2012 election â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but little regulation, they said.

Retrial granted in death of DC intern Chandra Levy

Ex-FBI agent charged with using drug money for plastic surgery

A District of Columbia judge granted a new trial to the man convicted of killing federal intern Chandra Levy in 2001, a case that contributed to a politicianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s downfall.

Superior Court Judge Gerald Fisher ordered the retrial for Ingmar Guandique after prosecutors dropped their opposition to defense lawyersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; request for a new trial in the case.

The search for Levy turned up few details about her whereabouts but brought out allegations that she had an aďŹ&#x20AC;air with Gary Condit, then a member of the House of Representatives. REUTERS

A former FBI agent has been indicted for allegedly stealing more than $100,000 in drug proceeds and spending it on plastic surgery, cars, tires and a weekend in Las Vegas, the U.S. Justice Department said.

Scott Bowman, 44, of Moreno Valley, Calif., allegedly misappropriated drug proceeds seized in June and August 2014 during the execution of search warrants, the department said in a statement.

The money had been put in Bowmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s custody and he falsiďŹ ed records to cover up his theft, it said. REUTERS

Grenier lives a charmed life as Vinny Chase in “Entourage.”

Adrian Grenier vs.

Vincent Chase

CLAUDETTE BARIUS/WARNER BROS

THE FUN STARTS HERE The ‘Entourage’ star on his alter ego and not going out for ‘Aquaman.’

NED EHRBAR @Nedrick ned.ehrbar@metro.us

You would think life in Hollywood could be a bit awkward when you’re best known for playing one of the biggest (fictional) movie stars in the world, but Adrian Grenier insists his “Entourage” character, Vincent Chase, hasn’t cast a shadow over his own career. “I mean, I think it’s a failure of imagination if you start to let your successes bog you down,” Grenier says. “If I have to work harder to convince people that I’m more than the character or I have other things up my sleeve,

then so be it.”

In fact, Grenier made peace with his fictional alter ego a long time ago — for self-preservation if nothing else. “We’re sort of living vicariously through each other, comfortably sharing the same space,” he says. “When people call me Vince, I answer.

I don’t try to correct people.

Because I am Vince to many people. I mean, even blurring the lines as much as the fact that Vince was Aquaman and in real life I do a lot of ocean work. I am Aquaman in real life, in a way.”

Of course, there really is an “Aquaman” coming — directed by “Furious 7” helmer James Wan, from the same studio that released “Entourage” — but that one will star Jason Momoa, not Vincent Chase.

Or Adrian Grenier. And just in case you were wondering, Grenier made no effort to get a shot at the superhero role that

was such a success for Vinny Chase. “I think that would’ve been too silly,” he says. “I mean, if James Cameron was directing it, I might be into it.”

The “Entourage” film finds Vince a few years removed from the series’ triumphant finale, a hugely successful and newly single movie star who now wants to direct his first feature — a plot point Grenier, a director himself, had a hand in crafting.

“Vince wanting to direct was part of what I was pushing for. I wanted to step up the character and allow him to evolve into that next stage of his career,” Grenier says.

“But for the most part director Doug [Ellin] borrows a lot from our real lives and also from what’s happening out there in the zeitgeist.”

Of course, Grenier has earned a unique view of the entertainment industry thanks to eight seasons and

a movie spent playing Vince.

And he insists the show’s depiction of Hollywood is not as exaggerated as some make it out to be.

“It’s pretty realistic. It reflects a truth, a reality in Hollywood, certainly, but also in a culture that puts fame and fortune and conspicuous consumption at the front,” he says. “It’s wish-fulfillment fantasy, but at the same time it has something that’s special about friendship and loyalty.

And it gives all the tools and guidelines on how to survive that world.”

That loyalty bit — Vince’s lifelong pals that make up his entourage — is key, he explains. “I don’t think it really would be as popular of a show if it was only just the indulgence. That sounds like it would be a gossip show. This is so much more,” Grenier says. “It’s about the characters.”

“When people call me Vince, I answer. I don’t try to correct people.

Because I am Vince to many people. I mean, even blurring the lines as much as the fact that Vince was Aquaman and in real life I do a lot of ocean work.

I am Aquaman in real life, in a way.”

I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to have advertisers screaming at me and making me feel inadequate. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too much of a time-suck for me. And TV tries to polarize us.

Rose Byrne and Jason Statham just kill it in ‘Spy’

TENT OPEN

MATT PRIGGE @mattprigge

matt.prigge@metro.us

Melissa McCarthy reunites with “Bridesmaids” and “The Heat” director Paul Feig, this time as a CIA desk jockey who winds up on a field mission, and gets carried away chasing a Russian agent (Rose Byrne).

The lowdown: “Spy” is an excellent showcase for the comic versatility of its star, who gets to play mousy and bossy, do pratfalls and hold her own in close-quarters fights. But it’s not just The Melissa McCarthy Show.

At various turns the film is nearly stolen by Byrne, by Jason Statham and by Miranda Hart. Byrne coolly deadpans inspired insults about sad Bulgarian clowns. Statham, as a rogue fellow agent, mostly calls people vaginas and brags about impossible, absurdist feats. Hart, heretofore an

English-only star, fits right in.

The spirit is one of competitive camaraderie, everyone pushing each other to silly, sometimes surreal heights.

“Spy” pushes itself so far that the climax can only seem slightly insufficient.

It needed to go even more OTT, include one more out-of-nowhere element, maybe do one more thing

with Statham. And it must be said, the Feig and Judd Apatow-style movies have run aground the joke where someone says, “You look like a [hilarious ad-lib].” That said, sometimes innovation can be overrated. Feig and McCarthy might as well keep doing comedic riffs on other genres, offering an alternative to bro humor without even trying.

Celebrate Boston Pride Week

Estelle is ready to conquer The singer comes to town for a Pride headlining stint this week.

LISA WEIDENFELD @LisaWeidenfeld lisa.weidenfeld@metro.us

Estelle may have broken onto the music scene with a famous collaborator, after the song “American Boy” with a certain Mr. Kanye West was a hit, but the U.K.-born singer been making a name for herself as a solo artist, too.

Most recently, she released the album “True Romance,” but what might have grabbed

more people’s attention was her appearance on Fox’s insanely popular “Empire,” as a singer who duets with middle son Jamal (Jussie Smollett) on her song “Conqueror.” Next week, she heads to Boston to play at Pride, so we checked in with her about playing Pride festivals and why “Empire” is important for musicians.

Is this your first time playing a Pride festival?

I’ve played Pride festivals before, but this will be my first time playing in Boston, so I’m pretty excited.

Why do you think they invited you to be one of the Pride performers?

I have no idea why they asked me to do it. My gay fans are awesome and they support me, period. So I’m excited to do it.

Have you gone to the parades before, or do you mostly stick to performing?

I always end up performing at parades and festivals. I’ve never been to one and not performed. The one I had the most fun at was Hollywood.

I got to perform and I was given the key to the city, so that was wonderful.

Oh, no key to the city this time, but I hope we live up to your expectations.

Headlining’s fine! I’ll do that.

Does “Conqueror” feel different now that it’s become part of the “Empire” world?

No, I think it’s just taken off more. It’s almost like having a remix to a record, you know?

We had it out on my first record, and we replayed it on “Empire” and it went in a whole other direction. It was great.

Are all the singers you know trying to get on the show now?

I will say that “Empire” is one of the only shows that is a legit vehicle for musicians in an age where there’s hardly anywhere for us to sing or hardly anywhere for us to sell, perform, do music anymore. The media shows are

Have you noticed any difference in Pride in the U.K. versus here?

It’s definitely the same. The fans are the fans are the fans. They’re naked, they’re naked, they’re naked. They’re dressed, they’re dressed, they’re dressed. And that’s it. The correlation across the board, when I’ve done Prides and gay events, is everyone wants to have fun. Everyone wants to come and sing along to their favorite songs and party, which I appreciate.

the media shows and that’s like the top five artists you’ve been hearing about. It’s like, what happens to everybody else? Where does everybody else go? There are hundreds of thousands of musicians out there. So it’s another avenue, and we’re grateful for it. I can understand wanting to be a part of it.

And are you a big fan of the show?

Yeah, I love the show. I watched my episode like

everybody else, like, “What is Boo Boo Kitty going to do today?” It’s got energy. You get so excited. It’s a great show.

It’s got great writing, great presentation. Styling is on point. Everything works.

So will we see you on Season 2, or are you not sure yet if you’ll be back?

Yeah, I think so. I was signing to Empire Records at the end of the last episode, or Delphine was signing, so I think I’ll be back.

LETTERS & GAMES Letters to the editor

Horoscope

Gemini | May 22-June 20 Stay on top of your personal files. Unless you are fully aware of your financial position, you won’t be able to take advantage of a proposal. Preparation will give you the upper hand.

Sagittarius | Nov. 22-Dec. 21 Change is in the air. Take an objective look at a deteriorating partnership. If the results are not what you expect or deserve, consider making changes or moving on.

Cancer | June 21-July 22 Share your thoughts and feelings with those closest to you. It’s easy to take others for granted if you become too busy.

Let your loved ones know you are appreciative.

Capricorn | Dec. 22-Jan. 20 Mixing business with pleasure will lead to problems. Your charisma is strong and will spur a situation that can have negative effects on your work and productivity.

Leo | July 23-Aug. 22 If you don’t ask, you won’t receive. Make everyone aware of what you are doing. Trying to do too much on your own will lead to disappointment.

Aquarius | Jan. 21-Feb. 18 Patience and understanding will help ease discord. If something is not progressing, work as a team player to repair matters.

Placing blame will only escalate an already volatile situation.

Virgo | Aug. 23-Sept. 22 Don’t let a negative or critical person prevent you from doing the things you love. Being inspired and involved in exciting projects will be your revenge.

Libra | Sept. 23-Oct. 22 Take time off to pamper yourself and do things you enjoy. You will feel revived and ready to take on twice as much when you are well rested. Don’t disregard your needs.

Movie magic is above race Re: ‘Why does Emma Stone think she can look as Asian as me?’ (Metro.us) Quick point: Wouldn’t the director, producer, casting director, et al., be just as much to blame, if not more so, than Emma Stone?

Now that that’s out of the way, here is my counterargument with examples. First of all, I agree that Emma Stone does not look Asian, according to my perception of what an Asian would look like. But the character she plays is also, as

in “The Mask Of Zorro” and its sequel.

Andy Garcia (full-blooded Cuban) played an Italian in “The Godfather Part III.” Peter Pan has been portrayed by a female in more than a few productions.

I saw Chazz Palminteri perform “A Bronx Tale” as a one-man show. One of the characters is a black high school girl. Mr. Palminteri is not a black high school girl, yet he pulled it off.

And then there’s Robert Downey Jr. in “Tropic Thunder,” but that was awful for too many reasons to go into right now.

If casting Emma Stone as an Asian took you — and others — out of the movie, the only argument you can make is that it was a bad casting decision.

(For the record, I think hiring Emma Stone in anything is always a bad casting decision.)

But casting directors should be able to hire any actor they want for any role, regardless of their ethnic background.

Why should a person be required to be a certain anything in order to act on-screen? A hallmark of being entertained by these films or TV shows is the willing suspension of disbelief. According to your logic, only athletes should be cast in sports films. A real blind person (and musician) should have been used to play Ray Charles instead of Jamie Foxx.

Women’s World Cup typically dominated by three countries World Cup soccer.

Germany, the United States and Japan are the three dynasty countries.

There are just four different countries that have ever won the Women’s World Cup. Germany (2003, 2007) and the United States (1991, 1999) both own two titles while Norway (1995) and Japan (2011) have each won once. With all due respect to Norway, which is not the same powerhouse it used to be, Germany, the U.S. and Japan are clearly the three top teams heading into the 2015 World Cup, which begins this weekend in Canada.

In the most recent FIFA rankings, Germany is No. 1, the U.S. is No. 2, France is No. 3 and Japan is No. 4. By virtue of the fact that it is the most recent champ, Japan still has a little more cache than France, which has never finished higher than fourth (in 2011).

Germany is in Group B, the U.S. is in Group C and Japan is in Group D, so the earliest that any of them could meet is in the round of 16.

In 2011, Japan came out of nowhere to win the title as it had never finished even as high as fourth place. The greatest player they have ever produced — midfielder Homare Sawa

(2011 World Player of the Year) — is back for her record sixth World Cup (she debuted at age 15!). She won the Golden Boot (leading scorer) and Golden Ball (tournament’s MVP) in 2011.

RED SOX NOW NEED E-ROD NO. 2 One Eddie Rodriguez isn’t enough. And hopefully, the Boston Red Sox feel the same way.

The 22-year-old lefty is everything the organization could have hoped for, and more, after acquiring him last season in a trade that sent lefty reliever Andrew Miller to the Orioles. Miller is now a dominant closer for the Yankees.

Rodriguez is now the new No. 1 starter in the Red Sox’ rotation. After being called up from Triple-A Pawtucket last week, Rodriguez has been dominant in both starts he’s made for Boston. His first start resulted in 7.2 shutout innings with seven strikeouts in Texas.

His second start resulted in seven innings of one-run ball with seven strikeouts at Fenway against the Twins. Each start had a different catcher behind the plate. Both outings equally as impressive.

So what do you do if you’re the Red Sox front office after watching this, while also seeing the rest of the team thrive

Opinion

off of his calming, dominant mound presence?

Well, here’s what you don’t do. You don’t say, “That’s it.

We found our guy. Our job is done here.”

Not that Rodriguez isn’t leading the way, because he most certainly is. And he has it all. He’s the total package.

Though it’s a small sample size, it seems you already know what you’re going to get from him. And that has to help the mindset of his own ballclub. But this should be a wake-up call to the Sox’ front office, more than anything else. It should show them that dominant pitching is the key to success. When you have it, that takes a whole lot of pressure off your offense, especially when it’s struggling like the Red Sox offense has.

Rodriguez’s success is no fluke. And instead of sitting back and letting him lead the way, the Red Sox need to build off the statement he has made.

They need to go out and get another Rodriguez.

When I say “another Rodriguez,” I mean another dominant starter who can shut down opposing offenses on any given night. Whether that means giving 24-year-old

southpaw Brian Johnson a callup from Triple-A Pawtucket and seeing if his 2.60 ERA and 57 strikeouts in 10 starts this season can translate to Major League success, or even making a blockbuster trade for a top-of-the-rotation arm, there should be nothing stopping general manager Ben Cherington from being aggressive in the next few weeks.

A light should have went off in Cherington’s head by the third inning of Rodriguez’s MLB debut in Texas last week. He should have said to himself, “Wow, we need more of this.”

What should be done and what will be done may end up being two different things for the Red Sox. But if they’re serious about building a winner, they’ll stay confident in the hitters they have, and will focus on bringing in another dominant starter, somehow, someway.

Because as good as Rodriguez is and will be, one of him just isn’t enough.

Eduardo Rodriguez has quickly emerged as the Red Sox’ stop starter.

“I used to think sex was a bond and the feeling you got while you climaxed was love but that empty feeling you got when it was all over, well that was what it felt like to be brokenhearted.”

- David Mathieu David Mathieu is a young engineer, with a knack for sexually enticing women. Living out in California he attempts to breakout of his social shell through the use of spoken word. One night while performing one of his poems a woman catches his eye but pays him no mind. In his world a disconnect between emotions and reality has gotten him this far and he plans to keep it that way, but things rarely go as planned.

Finally after some time the young woman gives him a chance and they embark upon an imperfectly perfect journey.

While he tries to live his dream he realizes that sometimes sex comes with emotions, which can be for the better and can also be for the worse. Over time the two grow close and break barriers they both had setup until chasing their dreams got in the way. After a whirlwind break up the two go their separate ways but seemingly always end up going down the same path until they realize they’re on the same path because this was the part of their dreams they couldn’t understand.
