Teen jailed for making sarcastic threat in facebook comment

Teen Justin Carter Jailed In Texas After Making Sarcastic Threat In Facebook Comment

Maybe it's time the Internet adopted a "sarcasm" tag to alert readers to the use of irony in online conversation, and, hopefully, avoid situations like that of Justin Carter, a Texas teenager who has been in jail since February over a Facebook comment that failed to make a woman in Canada LOL.

Earlier this year, Carter and a friend got into an Facebook argument with someone regarding "League of Legends," an online video game with notoriously die-hard fans. Justin's father, Jack, explained to ABC local affiliate KVUE that at the end of the conversation "[s]omeone had said something to the effect of 'Oh you're insane, you're crazy, you're messed up in the head,’ to which [Justin] replied 'Oh yeah, I'm real messed up in the head, I'm going to go shoot up a school full of kids and eat their still, beating hearts,’ and the next two lines were lol and jk [all sic]."

In case you've never been online before today: Internet shorthand LOL stands for "laughing out loud"; JK means "just kidding."

A woman in Canada who came across the boy's post failed to see the humor, however, and alerted police after Internet research revealed Carter, who was 18 at the time of the incident, lived near an elementary school. Carter was taken into custody and charged with making a "terroristic" threat.

An Austin, Texas, police spokesperson told Parentdish the department takes any threat made against schools seriously, especially after recent events.

Carter's parents have since launched a Change.org petition seeking signatures to protest their son's situation on the grounds of freedom of speech.

In the meantime, Carter, now 19, faces up to eight years in prison. His trial is scheduled to begin July 1.

2-year-old boy injured in racist attack

Toddler injured in racist attack at Walthamstow Central

Police have released CCTV of the man they want to speak to

A two-year-old boy had his collarbone broken when his mother was assaulted in a racially-motivated attack at a London railway station.

The boy, who was in a pushchair, was hurt when his mother was pulled by the hair and dragged to the ground at Walthamstow Central on Sunday.

The black woman was racially abused by the man, who was also black, for having a mixed-race child, police said.

They are appealing for information about the "unspeakable" attack.

Officers searched the area for the man after the assault, at about 15:30 BST, but could not find him.

Det Con Gerry Hughes said: "She was assaulted by the man, who pulled her hair, dragging her to the ground along with the pushchair. The man then made off from the scene."

Mr Hughes added: "The victim was left understandably shocked but uninjured.

"Her son was taken to hospital where he was diagnosed with a fractured collarbone. He was later discharged from hospital.

"This was an unspeakable attack on a mother and son, and we are determined to find the man responsible."

The man officers want to speak to was wearing a green and blue striped top and a navy blue head covering.

Mr Hughes said: "I'd urge anyone who has any information into the incident, or recognises the man pictured, to come forward and assist officers in this investigation."

Micheal Jackson spent $35m buying silence of at least 24 boys he abused over a period of 15years

Michael Jackson spent £23MILLION buying silence of at least TWO DOZEN young boys he abused over 15 years

Sunday People

Secret FBI files exclusively seen by the Sunday People reveal Michael Jackson spent £23million buying the silence of at least two dozen young boys he abused over 15 years.
The documents – case numbers CADCE MJ-02463 and CR 01046 – were not passed on to prosecutors in the King of Pop’s 2005 trial, when he was cleared of molesting a child.
But they throw a disturbing new light on the megastar’s insistence he never laid a finger on any of the scores of kids he invited to his home for unsupervised sleep-overs.
Agents have thousands of pages of evidence dating back to 1989 indicating Jacko groomed and molested children – sometimes right under the noses of their starstruck parents.
The FBI files include private investigators’ reports, phone transcripts and hours of audio tapes.
They describe how the Thriller hit-maker was once caught by a member of his household staff groping a world-famous child star, watching porn films while molesting another boy and fondling the genitals of a third in his private cinema.
The mother of one of the youngsters was sitting two or three rows in front of them at the time – unaware of the vile abuse her son was suffering.
Ironically, many of the damning reports in the FBI collection had been commissioned by Jacko himself.
Terrified the parents of boys who spent nights with him at his Neverland ranch might go to the cops or expose him in the media, the desperate singer hired “private eye to the stars” Anthony Pellicano to target potential skeletons in his closet – and make sure they stayed out of the limelight.
But when Pellicano was investigated himself in 2002 for bugging Hollywood stars such as Sylvester Stallone, the FBI seized all his files – including many about Jackson. It is copies of these to which the Sunday People has had exclusive access.
The latest revelations about Jacko’s lurid past come as his private life is once again in the spotlight – even though four years have passed since he died from heart failure aged 50.
His family are currently suing gig promoters AEG Live for £26billion, claiming they hired Dr Conrad Murray, who gave Jacko the dose of the anaesthetic propofol that killed him.
AEG deny employing Murray, now serving a four-year jail term for involuntary manslaughter.
The files will also dismay Jacko’s kids Prince, 16, Paris, 15, and 11-year-old Blanket, who have not yet come to terms with losing their father.
In fact, Paris tried to kill herself by slashing her wrists just three weeks ago and is still in hospital.
But there is yet more shocking news for the singer’s family – Jackson’s former child pal Wade Robson, a dancer and once one of his most stalwart defenders, has just launched a major lawsuit against his estate.
Robson, now 30, claims he was often molested at Neverland during his regular visits to the infamous ranch during the 1990s.
The Aussie-born choreographer for pop stars such as Britney Spears and Demi Lovato claims the abuse started when he was only seven and continued until he was 14.

Michael Jackson FBI files

The files seen by this newspaper appear to confirm Robson’s claim to be one of many child victims who were invited to fulfil Jackson’s sick fantasies at his isolated playground in the Californian countryside.
Pellicano is now behind bars serving a 15-year jail sentence for racketeering and wire-tapping.
But one of his senior snoops – who worked extensively on the Jackson case – has broken his silence to speak exclusively to the Sunday People.
The investigator, whose name we are withholding, said he was among those quizzed by FBI agents probing his old boss. And he kept copies of many of the Jackson documents now held in the bureau’s archives.
The paedophile allegations – sandwiched between thousands of pages of information about Jackson, his career and his accusers – include inter-views with ex-aides who claim their boss was fixated with child porn.
The files name 17 boys – including five child actors and two dancers – Jacko singled out for abuse.
Other kids the singer preyed on include a European boy and the sons of a screenwriter.
At least three boys got hush-money, the investigator said, with the family of one well-known young film actor being given £392,000 “to refrain from any and all contact with media and communications, newspapers, television, radio, film and books”.
The gagging order also insisted there would not be any attempt now or in the future to “extort, intimidate, harass or impede” the Jackson organisation.
A maid who worked for the singer at Neverland was said to have been paid off with about £1.3million after complaining her son had been abused by her employer. And the investigator told of one shocking case of a mother who knew her young son was being molested by Jackson “but turned a blind eye to it because if it didn’t bother him, it didn’t bother her”.
Many of the files on the victims – whose names are not being published for legal reasons – were originally pulled together by lawyers drawing up a list of a potential threats to Jackson’s paedophile secret in the early 1990s.
The legal team was scrambled after the dentist dad of 13-year-old Jordan Chandler went public with claims his son had been abused – opening the door to a string of accusations involving other kids.
The sleuth who worked for Pellicano said: “Around 1993 things were really heating up. The suggestions were Jordie was not the only victim. The momentum became so great Jackson needed a private investigator to go straight for the jugular and produce results.
“His actress friend Elizabeth Taylor encouraged him to hire Pellicano because she had used him to stop dirt on her drug problems being released in the media – Pellicano was a master of negotiation and keeping stars’ reputations clean.
“I was hired by him to find out where the fires needed putting out and, in this case, where allegations would be coming from.
“But I have never worked on a case with as many potential claimants as the Jackson case.”
The investigator, who spent two years on the case, saw Pellicano’s ruthless methods first-hand in the frantic bid to salvage Jackson’s Mr Clean image.
He said his boss encouraged his extensive contacts in the media to call the singer’s victims after he paid them off so they could publicly deny he ever touched them. It was part of a relentless campaign to clear the megastar’s name.
The investigator said: “There was a mountain of allegations levelled at Jackson and Pellicano was determined to prove his client innocent.
“He promised Jackson, ‘I can make this go away’ and he wanted me to dig up everything that was around on him and then began smoothing it over.
“Pellicano had links to key figures in the US media and made them dance to his tune. He was very good at starting fires – but also at putting them out. By the end we had at least 10 boxes of documents about Jackson.”
He went on: “The FBI had all that information long before Jackson’s 2005 trial. I’m surprised this evidence never came to light.
“Then again, if the pay-offs were successfully executed, no one would have spoken.
“At the time, Jackson was on a world tour, battling drug addiction and planning his next CD and future.
“If these files had been released then, Jackson’s career would have been over. But he was the King of Pop and spending the equivalent of a year’s royalties was worth it to keep him on his throne. With the help of people like Pellicano, the world and his fans never heard what took place at Neverland over 15 years.”
At his 2005 trial, Jackson was acquitted of abusing and feeding alcohol to a 13-year-old boy who had survived cancer. But the private eye said: “Our reports painted the picture that Jackson was a serial child predator.
“It showed at least two dozen children were given money to stay quiet – which came to around $35million (£23million).
“Wade Robson was one of the kids identified as a victim while our reports show many others were paid off before their names even emerged.”

He said the pay-out total includes the £13million settlement to Jordie Chandler and up to £4.5million in legal and investigation fees. The investigator added: “I haven’t released this now to upset Michael’s children, who haven’t done anything wrong.
“But when Wade’s case was announced, I felt it was time the public knew what information had been collected, what the authorities have – and what has never been released.”
Brian Oxman, a long-time Jackson family lawyer and friend, said yesterday he was not aware that Michael “paid off” any boys other than Jordan Chandler.
He said: “The only money I know about was Jordan Chandler. But the gift list on Michael’s income tax returns was astounding. He would give out a great deal of money and top of the list was Elizabeth Taylor. He gave money to a whole series of people. It happened all the time.
“I wasn’t aware of any pay-offs to kids. I never heard him talking about it.”

A family were covered in human excrement when an airplane emptied its toilets over their Toronto home.

Emma Gilfillan-Giannakos was playing in her yard with her daughters, eight year-old Sierra, and 20-month-old, Lexi, when they were suddenly showered with a mysterious brown liquid that mysteriously fell from the sky.

The rancid substance covered their entire home, their patio, and swimming pool, which is located just 12 miles away from the Pearson International Airport, in Toronto, Canada.

Emma explained, “I had no idea what it was. I thought maybe a rainstorm, but it only lasted a second or two.” Perplexed by this bizarre incident she then decided to smell the liquid, revealing, “I stuck a finger in the water and I smelled it. It was poop.”

Fortunately, the entire Giannakos clan were undercover when the faeces fell to the floor, however their pet dog was outside when it struck and got covered in the mess.

The family have since had to spend close to $5,000 on replacing the water in their pool, whilst they have also cleaned their patio thoroughly too.

After the couple reported the incident to transports officials, Emma and her husband, Chris, have been told that an investigation is currently underway, with the bosses speculating that the poo leaked from a plane that was landing.

Mary Durette, a spokeswoman for transport Canada, claims that a valve malfunction is the probably reason for the disturbing scenario, as planes usually empty their toilets at special airport facilities.

Durette stated, “If this happens, the liquid seeping from valves freezes and adheres to the outside of the aircraft when the aircraft is flying at high altitudes. As the aircraft starts its descent and the atmosphere gets warmer, the ice will start to melt and pieces will detach themselves from the aircraft.”

Most swimming pools contain human poop

New Research – Most Swimming pools contain human poop or ‘feces’

According to a new research most Swimming pools areinvariably contaminated with human poop or feces, mainly because of not showering before entering the pool and due to accidental excreta as shown in this video below.

Here’s a good reason never to swallow water from a swimming pool: A new study found telltale signs of feces in more than half of pools sampled in Atlanta last summer.

The problem is not confined to Atlanta, says Michele Hlavsa, a researcher who promotes healthy swimming at the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention: “I think if we had done this study anywhere in the United States, we would have found the same thing.”

And it’s not the fault of pool operators, Hlavsa says: “This is really about swimmer hygiene.”

In other words: there’s poop in our pools because people are not taking showers before swimming or are having accidents in the water. And public health officials care because sometimes that contaminated water makes people very sick.

For the study, published Thursday in the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, Hlavsa and colleagues tested water from filters at 161 pools, including 37 municipal pools, 89 club or membership facilities and 35 small water parks (which included any facility with so much as a spray feature, Hlavsa says).

They found DNA from E. coli bacteria, normally found in the human gut and feces, in 58% of samples. That’s a “fecal indicator,” or proof that poop has rinsed off someone’s bottom or been deposited directly into the water, the report says. The tests did not indicate whether the bacteria were alive or dead.

Municipal pools were more likely than other pools to show signs of fecal contamination.

The good news: none of the E. coli was the toxic, illness-causing O157:H7 strain. Researchers also were reassured that signs of cryptosporidium and giardia, germs that spread through feces and cause diarrhea, were found in just one and two samples, respectively.

It’s worth noting that Atlanta reported no outbreaks of water-borne illnesses in pools in 2012. But public health officials are concerned that the overall rate of such illnesses has increased in the United States in recent years.

Here’s what the CDC recommends swimmers do to stay healthy and keep others healthy – whether swimming in a pool, lake, river or ocean (or using a hot tub):

– Stay out of swimming water when you have diarrhea.

– Shower with soap before swimming.

– Take children for bathroom breaks every 60 minutes.

– Wash your hands with soap after using the toilet or changing diapers.

– Avoid changing diapers next to the pool.

– Avoid swallowing the water.

CDC says it’s important that chlorine and pH levels in pools are at proper levels. But swimmers can’t count on 100% protection, Hlavsa says: “You have to take some responsibility.”

A DRUG-CRAZED man ripped off his own genitals while on magic mushrooms

Ohio Man Rips Off Part Of His genitals AAfter Taking Hallucinogenic Mushrooms: Police

Cavan SieczkowskiThe Huffington PostJun 25, 2013

A naked man was found bloody and screaming after he ripped off a part of his penis during a drug-fueled craze, police say.

The 41-year-old Columbus, Ohio, native, whose name has not been reported, was found at about 1 a.m. on June 18 after Washtenaw County Sheriff’s deputies responded to an alarm set off by a broken window at Ypsilanti Middle School in Ypsilanti, Mich., according to the Detroit Free Press. Once they arrived, they said they found the man kneeling outside the school, naked and bloody from the waist down, with a portion of his genitals ripped off.

“He mutilated his genitals with his bare hands,” Sgt. Geoff Fox toldAnnArbor.com. "He was doing a lot of yelling and screaming."

Investigators say he admitted to taking "magic" mushrooms before flipping out and trying to claw off his own penis and scrotum, according to The Columbus Dispatch. It took at least six officers to subdue him, the report notes.

Parts of his body were transferred to the hospital with him.

“In terms of vital signs, they were as low as they could go without being dead — I could only assume due to the blood loss and the shock and trauma to the body,” Fox told the Detroit Free Press reports.

AnnArbor.com reported an initial toxicology report didn't reveal anything but stated that more extensive testing will be done. He is currently in stable condition. Police will seek burglary charges against him.

Psilocybin is a chemical obtained from certain fresh or dried mushrooms that can cause significant bodily side effects when ingested, according to the Drug Enforcement Administration. Most noteworthy are the chemical's possible effects on the mind. Some people may experience hallucinations, panic, psychosis and the inability to discern fantasy from reality.
