Police search bieber's home

Bieber was accused of throwing eggs at a neighbor's house resulting in costly damage. 

His house was raided by police with a search warrant. Bieber was cooperative, but didn't say anything about the incident. 

A friend of Bieber's was arrested at the scene because there was cocaine found on them, but they needed to look at security cameras to see if they can find anything about the egg throwing. 

If the damages cost more than $950 then it could count as a felony. 

I don't know how you can do more than $950 worth of damage by throwing eggs at someone's house. And why throw eggs in the first place? Childish.

Shooting in theater.

Reeves was a retired cop that lost his temper when the man in front of him was texting during the previews of the movie. 

The two had gotten into an argument during the Lone Star movie previews because Oulson was texting his daughter. Reeves left and what people assumed would be him grabbing a manager. 

Instead, after Reeves returned very angrily, the two got into another argument resulting in Oulson throwing a bag of popcorn at Reeves. He reacted by shooting Ouslon. 

Reeves was charged with second degree murder. 

Something like this could be simply resolved, but turned a whole different direction for no reason. A man left dead and his wife injured after raising her hand in front of the bullet.

Prison Outbreaks of Salmonella

Tyson Foods has announced a recall of around 34,000 pounds of chicken on chances of salmonella contamination.

The Food Safety and Inspection Service was notified of a Salmonella cluster of sicknesses on December 12, 2013. Together with the Tennessee Department of Health, the FSIS discovered a link between mechanically separated chicken products from Tyson Foods, and an outbreak of illness in a Tennessee prison. Seven people were sickened.

The machine separated chicken at the center of the recall was produced on October 11, and sold in 40-pound cases. The products were not available for retail sale to restaurants or consumers, and were shipped for institutional use only.

About 48 million people contract some form of food poisoning each year, and salmonella is the leading cause of foodborne illness. Salmonella causes nearly1.3 million illnesses each year in the United States. In December, the FSIS announced that it hopes to take that toll with the help of a new "Salmonella Action Plan."

Drunk 16 Yr Old Kills 4

Ethan Couch kills 4 & severely injures 2 after getting drunk and causing car accidents. He only faces 10 years probation because he was diagnosed with affluenza. 

Affluenza is when your parents don't set limits on a child because they are privileged with wealth. 

The author gives how the families of the deceased feel. They don't share what Couch feels or how his parents reacted. Some think his punishment was not harsh enough. 

He was 3 times over the drinking limit when he was driving and he's only 16. He also stole the alcohol from Walmart. 

I think he should have gotten time for all of the crimes. 10 years probation is too easy for killing 4 innocent people and injuring 2 of his friends.

Revenge Porn Site

Man charged with 31 felony counts has bail set at $50000 in San Diego. 

Kevin Bollaert created a website that allowed others to post explicit photos. The site was mainly ex boyfriends or husbands getting revenge by posting nudes of their exes. 

Along with that website, he made another one where you can remove the pictures for the price of $350. He made thousands before getting arrested. 

The author doesn't give anyone's opinion or point of view. They just told the story and what happened. 

I think that it's a horrible thing to expose women without their permission, but it was a smart idea to get quick cash.

Racial Slurs Painted on Player's House

Isaac Phillips is a 13 year old playing for the Blue Knights football team for Lunenburg High. 

There were racial slurs spray painted on his house from fellow team mates, who have also been tormenting him. 

His mother is white and his father is black and on the house they spray painted, "Knights don't need the n word." 

Because of this the football team has cancelled the rest of their season since there's an on going investigation. 

Being from Hoover, which is such a diverse school, I couldn't imagine any of us doing this. We are truly a family. For this small town, not far from Boston, to do this to a fellow team mate is horrible. 

You want to represent your school and be proud of it. Your team should be a family. This is unacceptable. It's 2013, why are we still being racist?
