Officers Impregnated By Gang Members

At the Maryland Prison four female officers were impregnated by the leaders of gangs in the prison. Apparently the gang member was using the officers to smuggle in and out drugs, money and other things. One of the gang leaders name was Tavon. Two of the female officers got new tattoos, one got it on their neck and the other on their wrist. They both got the name "Tavon" tattooed on them. Apparently male officers were also helping with the smuggling of illegal things in and out of the prison. It came to a total of 13 females and 2 males that all had charges pressed against them. This is one screwed up prison.

Prison Sentences Reduced In Syria

On Tuesday afternoon in Syria there were some changes made by the president, Bashar Assad. Assad made the decision that some of the people in prison who were considered terrorists would have their sentences shortened. Assad extended this change in the rules to some other convicted criminals as well. Assad shortened their sentences by 75%. Apparently Assad has made quite a few changes in Syria lately, so this wasn't the first. He has a pattern of letting people off easy right before national holidays I guess. Not many people see this as a problem or weird. They don't think it is the beginning of an uprising or any sort of thing. But something seems a little odd about all of this.

Background Checks and Gun Control

Recently there was an experiment done where a man would go through gun shows and buy as many guns as he could. The sellers did no background checks and only asked for cash. They would sell him the gun on the spot. Yet they were not breaking the law. Should there be more laws against this? Michelle Obama definitely thinks so. She spoke out about gun control and it sounds like she believes that it should be harder to be able to own a gun. I am right behind her and agree that there should at least be background checks when purchasing a weapon.

Murder in Door County

On Monday April 1, 2013 there was dead body found in the Gibraltar High School parking lot. A 17-year old boy had been run over with a car and left to bleed to death. Our source checked in with the school and they got it all on camera. Apparently there was a fight going on between a girl and the boy and she got in her car and chased him around the parking lot for a while before finally running him over, and then going back to run him over again. But what were they fighting about? Apparently the girl had asked the boy to prom and he said no and chose to go with another girl. The girl got angry and started a fight and tried to convince him to go with her and when he refused to she got in her car and ran him over. The girl hasn't been seen since Monday night, her parents said she never came home.

Rope Swing Death

Kyle Lee Stocking, 22, died last Sunday while trying to swing on a rope. Not just any rope swing though, this was at Corona Arch, a big, towering arch in southeastern Utah. Recently this landmark has grown more popular through social media. Many hikers and adventurers have posted videos on YouTube of them and their friends swinging on ropes through this arch. This has been given the name "World's Largest Rope Swing." Who would have thought something that looks so fun could be so dangerous?

Extinct Frog Makes a Come-Back

30-years ago a type of frog went extinct. This certain type gave birth through it's mouth. Recently in Australia, researchers found a way to bring back this species! This frog is called a Platypus frog and they swallow their eggs and let the babies grow in their stomach until they give birth, through their mouth. Scientists and researchers at the University of Newcastle in Australia worked long and hard on the "Lazarus Project." This project included getting cell nuclei from tissues that had been sitting in a freezer for many years. They took the frozen nuclei and put in into a great barred frog's system. It only worked for a few days at a time but they got enough of the information that they were trying to find.

Death in a Nursing Home

In Bakersfield, California at Glenwood Gardens nursing home a woman collapsed and was having problems breathing. The 87-year old woman, Lorraine Bayless, went down in the dining room and a nurse called 911. The dispatcher told the nurse that she had to give Bayless CPR but the nurse refused to do it because it was against their policy. The dispatcher was telling the nurse that the woman would die if she did not give her CPR and the nurse still would not do it. The nurse would not even let someone else at the nursing home give Bayless CPR. Who cares about a stupid policy at that point, how could you let that poor old woman die right in front of you, especially if you could have stopped it.
