9-Year-Old Jumps off Roof with "Parachute" and DIes


A Nine-Year-Old boy from New York City made a plastic parachute to imitate one of his favorite television wrestlers. He then went on a rooftop and jumped, falling to his death.

Domori Miles loved watching "WWE Smackdown vs. Raw" and his families believes he was imitating them when he made his plastic parachute and jumped.

But the WWE has issues a statement saying that no "SmackDown vs. Raw" characters jump off buildings or use parachutes." They are sympathetic to the family, though, and are calling for a full investigation into the tragedy.

Teacher involved in Love Triangle Ends in Death


Tamara Hofmann, an Arizona high school teacher, was involved in a love triangle with two of her former students. It was not until one of them found out about that other that things turned deadly.

Sixto Balbuena, 20, stabbed 18-year-old Samuel Valdivia to death. He found Valdivia sleeping in bed with his girlfriend. Both men are former students of 48-year-old Hofmann.

Valdivia apologized to Balbuena and fought back in an attempt to save his life. He later died at the hospital from multiple stab wounds.

Mistaken for a Child Killer


All I've been reading in the news is about an 8year old girl from California that was killed by her friends mother, a Sunday school teacher. Melissa Huckaby of Tracy California is charged with kidnapping, rape and murder of little Sandra Cantu.

Imagine living just miles away from the murder, and having the same name and lifestyle as the accused killer.


Melissa Huckaby lives in Manetca, California and is a single mother to a 5year old girl and is also a Sunday school teacher. Just like the accused killer from Tracy. Miss Huckaby of Manetca has been getting death threats and has camera crews following her, thinking she is the accused child killer.

To help resolve the situation, she has decided to use the media to explain to people who she is, and is not.

President or Celebrity??


It is really starting to piss me off that I am reading more about out "President" playing basketball, picking his brackets, going on talk shows, and making Ipods for the Queen, then his plan for "Change!" If this was ANY Republican President NONE of this would be tolerate and they would be torn apart in the media. But Obama is known as the most Charismatic President. Give me a break. More like known for a load of crap. CHANGE SOMETHING OBAMA!! JUST NO MORE DEBT PLEASE! THANKS!

Missing Somali-American found on Social Media Website

Several men went missing from the Minneapolis area and were thought to have ties to terrorist organizations. Then men were believed to have traveled back to their home country of Somalia. It is not known how they were converted to terrorist organizations in the United States. One of those men were recently located on the social media website, Facebook. I am glad that this story came out because I think people need to see that this is still going on. I think that too many people are upset about what is going on with our coutnry and think that they have been lied to about the war. Lies may have been told but terrorism is very revelant and is happening in our country.

Octo-Mom loses it!


As we all know her, Octo-Mom has made headlines yet again. The mother of 14 children has hit the news twice this week for two 911 tapes that were released. One of her and one of her son.

You can her Nayada Suleman going crazy on the 911 tape saying that she lost her son. She doesn't know when she lost saw him, where he was, or what he was wearing. It wasn't until the 911 operator repeatedly tried to get more information from her that it seemed as if she was just making up information to act as if she knew. In the end, the boy comes back from a walk.

Her son also made a hangup call to 911. When the operator called back he said his parents were out partying. Nayada was indeed birthing her new litter of 8 at the time.

It's only a matter of time before these kids are taken away. And good for them when that happens!
