1.  A looter from Gainesville, Florida manages to disrespect 70,000,000 years of history with one theft:

When the press went to Burkesville, Kentucky to report on the tragic story of a 5-year-old boy accidentally shooting to death his 2-year-old sister, here is what transpired:


After the funeral service, two men advanced across North Main Street toward a single television crew present, from the German network RTL, and punched the cameraman, bloodying his face and knocking him down.
Two other men told a newspaper reporter, “If you had any sense, you’d get out of here. You’re next, buddy.”
The county coroner, Gary White, said Kristian’s gun, a .22-caliber single-shot Crickett rifle designed for children and sold in pink and blue, had been stored in a corner, and his parents did not realize it was loaded.




3.   Lawmakers in Sacramento pass a law to try curbing gun massacres:
