Frankie Kipp started the Blackfeet Nation Boxing Club in 2003 for a simple reason. He wanted to teach vulnerable people on the reservation, especially women and young girls, to defend themselves.After years of working as a probation officer, he was tired of bearing witness to tragedy after tragedy. Kipp was a successful amateur boxer in his youth and connected the two sides of his life with the club. Next week, Kipp’s life work and his pupils will be recognized on the big screen. The club will be featured in a documentary called “Blackfeet Boxing: Not Invisible”, set to air Tuesday, June 30 at 7:30 p.m. ET on ESPN.“I started seeing girls getting bullied,” Kipp said from his home in Browning, Montana. “And several in their 20s wanted to learn how to take up for themselves because they were getting abused. We start hearing about young ladies getting taken from Indian country. And so I started training my daughter and I told her if something happens, at least you're going to know how to fight for your life.”Over the past 20 years, Kipp has trained more than 500 boxers on the reservation, and he’s seen positive effects in his charges and in the community.“Some of the girls that come into the boxing club have really low self-esteem. And the confidence they get from boxing is just phenomenal,” Kipp said. “But I don’t train bullies. I tell all the boxers to go to authority figures first if someone is threatening them. But let them know that you box for Blackfeet Nation and that you won’t let anyone hit you. You will fight back.”“It was emotional a sense that, I was a probation officer prior and I put a lot of things upstairs in my head, unpleasant things,” Kipp said. “I had to talk several people out of suicide, kids as young as 8 years old wanted to kill themselves. The documentary had brought a lot of memories back up. There were a few that were real unpleasant that made me break down during the interview.”‘Blackfeet Boxing: Not Invisible’, directed by Kristen Lappas and Tom Rinaldi, is a film about fighting — for respect, identity and acknowledgment.The documentary, which has already screened at several film festivals, paints the gym against the backdrop of stories like that of Ashley Loring-Heavyrunner and several other Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women. Kipp hopes the large audience will help spread awareness to the silent epidemic.“I think it would raise awareness, not just on our reservation but most of the Indian nations. This is what's happening, people are coming up missing,” Kipp said. “We have unsolved murders. It’s crazy some of the things that we see. I do think that it's going to bring up some awareness with that.”There are no scorecards or knockouts for many of the boxers on the Blackfeet Reservation. Their prize is survival.Kipp: "If you don't fight for your life, you won't have a life."This story originally reported by Tom Wylie on ktvq.com. 2916

FREDERICK, Colorado — Family friends of the Watts family say they're dumbfounded, confused, lost.The man who hosted Chris Watts and his little girls for a kid’s birthday party just days before they vanished said Thursday he is still trying to process everything that's happened since.  Jeremy Lindstrom offers a new perspective on who Chris Watts was, before the man allegedly confessed?to murdering his wife and the couple's two daughters.“You know, the hardest part about it all is — when you're closer to the family... is the 'why?'” Lindstrom said. “The why gets bigger."Why did Lindstrom's good friend, Chris, allegedly murder his entire family?"We're dumbfounded,” Lindstrom said Thursday night. “We don't get it. Lost."PHOTOS: Chris Watts arrested, charged for family deathsWhile attending the party at Lindstrom's home, the girls were happy. They were normal. And so was Chris — or so it seemed."He would reach out and help anybody that needed help with anything,” Lindstrom said. “He was a good mechanic if you needed help with your car — he'd help you. If you needed help with furniture, he'd be over there in a heartbeat to help you out. You don't know what, when, why, where or how everything goes weird."And Lindstrom says we may never know, exactly."It's just horrible,” he said. “Why do people do this? Why does it come down to this? There had to have been an easier route." 1437

Florida school shooter Nikolas Cruz appeared in court on Friday and waived his right to a speedy trialCruz sat mute at the defense lawyers' table with his head bowed during the brief hearing in Fort Lauderdale.Cruz waived his right to a speedy trial through his attorney Melisa McNeill. Broward County Judge Elizabeth Scherer scheduled the next hearing for 1:30 p.m. May 25.No trial date has been set."I don't want this case treading water," Scherer said.Cruz faces 17 counts of premeditated murder and 17 counts of attempted murder. He killed 17 students and faculty at Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland on February 14 in one of the deadliest mass shootings in modern US history.Cruz, 19, was arrested shortly after the shooting and has confessed to being the gunman, court documents show.A judge entered a plea of not guilty on Cruz's behalf when he was arraigned in March after his attorney told the judge the teen was standing mute to the charges, meaning he was declining to enter a plea.Prosecutors had said they intended to seek the death penalty for Cruz, saying the shooting was "especially heinous, atrocious or cruel."Cruz's defense team has said there is no question he did it, and he's willing to plead guilty to avoid the death penalty.Defense attorney Howard Finkelstein said he would prefer his client take a plea and serve 34 consecutive life sentences, one for each of the counts on which Cruz has been indicted.The prosecution had expressed frustration after listening to the defense's request."The state of Florida is not allowing Mr. Cruz to choose his own punishment," Assistant State Attorney Shari Tate told the court at a previous hearing.Scherer has received mail asking her to show mercy to Cruz. A three-page letter from a Minnesotan called the shooter "a vulnerable and disabled little boy inside a teenager's body."More pieces of sympathetic mail from all over the United States and Europe have arrived at the county jail where Cruz is being held, according to the Broward County Public Defender's Office.Cruz appeared at a hearing on April 11 as a probate judge tried to determine whether taxpayers will pick up the tab for the teen's defense or he can pay for his defense.The-CNN-Wire 2240

Former President Barack Obama on Wednesday announced his first wave of endorsements for Democratic candidates vying for elected positions up and down the ballot this November.Obama endorsed 81 people for this first wave and is expected to endorse more ahead of the midterm elections. His office said Wednesday that the former president is also expected to campaign in several states for 2018 candidates.His endorsement list includes several people in high-profile races, including Gavin Newsom for governor of California, Stacey Abrams for governor of Georgia and Jacky Rosen for US Senate in Nevada.Former Obama administration officials and campaign alumni were among those who snagged Obama's backing. They include Colin Allred, Andrew Kim, Tom Malinowski, Lauren Underwood, Richard Cordray and Jill Schiller.Obama said in a statement that he is "proud to endorse such a wide and impressive array of Democratic candidates -- leaders as diverse, patriotic, and big-hearted as the America they're running to represent.""I'm confident that, together, they'll strengthen this country we love by restoring opportunity that's broadly shared, repairing our alliances and standing in the world, and upholding our fundamental commitment to justice, fairness, responsibility, and the rule of law," he continued.The 2018 midterms, now less than 100 days away, are largely seen as a referendum on President Donald Trump's first two years in office.Democrats need a net gain of 23 seats to wrest control of the House from Republicans. They need a net gain of two seats to take a Senate majority, although the path to get to that number is difficult.The endorsements add to other recent post-presidential efforts by Obama to shape the political landscape. 1751

Former national security adviser to President Donald Trump Michael Flynn has asked a federal judge to spare him from prison time, according to his defense team's memo before his sentencing.He said his cooperation with Robert Mueller's special counsel investigation "was not grudging or delayed.""Rather, it preceded his guilty plea or any threatened indictment and began very shortly after he was first contacted for assistance by the Special Counsel's Office," his team wrote.He is asking for no jail time and has offered to do 200 hours of community service. 568
