Man survives Niagra Falls plunge

Konstantine Shatalov a photographer who was snapping pictures of the falls saw something falling from the falls. He thought it might be a man, but he did not believe it he just thought he was dreaming. The man appeared to be in his mid-30's, witnesses said he looked like he was diving. The man was discovered at the bottom of the falls, he was still alive. The witnesses tried to help him but he would not come out even though he was severly injured and bleeding. He was rescued 40 minutes later and he was still alive. Rescuers said it looked he was trying to commit suicide because he would not come to shore and kept swimming into the current (They rescued him in the end). The man became the third person to survive a plunge from the falls, which is illegal. No charges have been laid down yet.

This is just really stupid, jumping from the falls. Why would someone want to commit suicide in the first place. Why would you jump from one of the most beautiful sites in the world to do something as terrible as committing suicide. Was he trying to make everyone else feel bad for him or what.

Police Indentify Body from '67

Oscar Jones studied the face on TV and recognized his brother, Eric. Eric disappeared 60 years ago. The body could not be searched for clues because it had decomposed because he had been left outside naked in the woods. Investigators linked the murder to a similar one that happened a year later (1968) when a 17 year old boy named Richard "Dickie" Hovey was left naked in the same way Jones was. The police are following what little clues they have and it led to another incident. Two men were picked up around the same place and sexually harassed and then stabbed to death. The same incident happened to another man, but this one was different. He lived and pointed out his murderer, James Greenidge. Greenidge was convicted of manslaughter and attempted murder. He was released from jail in 1981. Shortly after he killed a Vancouver women, he is currently serving a life sentence in a BC prison.

This man is just really sick and disgusting. He deserves life in prison for the gross and unforgivable things he has done. I am glad the police got him

Brown faces the music

Chris Brown was slapped with two felony charges yesterday for allegedly beating his girlfriend Rihanna. The 19 year old R and B star is being charged with "assault by means likely to produce great bodily injury" and making "criminal threats. Brown and Rihanna were riding in a car driven by Brown, when he became angered with her. He hit her numerous times in the face causing so major injuries.

This is brutal. At what point was it okay to beat a women, no matter how much she angered him. This is common sense just cause you are frustrated with someone does not mean you just smack them, women or not.

Rengel was threatened before being killed

Stefanie Rengel was warned before she was slain. She told her mother that a 17 year old boy came to their house and said his girlfriend sent him to kill her. Two months later Rengel a grade 9 student was lured from her home and stabbed six times and left to die just a few feet awar from her home. The girlfriend, M.T., 17 pleaded not guilty to first degree murder yesterday. The boyfriend, D.B., now 19 will be on trial later this year. Patracia Hung, Stefanie's mom, who was tried in the case said her daughter called her on October 20, 2007 to describe the threat. According to the prosecutor MT applied great pressure to DB to kill Rengel because she was very jealous. "Stefanie Rengel was savagely murdered for no other reason than that (M.T.) had decided it was time for her to die," Flumerfelt, the prosecutor told the jury. The reason for MT jealousy was because DB and Stefanie were together when she was 12 and he was 15. For this reason she was murdered.

This is terrible, just because someone is better at something than you does not mean you can just kill them. MT is just a jealous person because she could not get DB first. Both of these people should go to jail for a long time because of their ridiculous actions.

Crooked Cops investigated

Over 100 of New York's finest are being investigated for associatating with criminals. Reports are that the cops were doing everything from boozing to pulling off armed robberies with some of New York's notorious criminals. It was even thought that these crooked cops were pulling off drug deals with low life drug dealers. "It is one of the big problems the Police Department faces," said a source familiar with the NYPD's hard-charging efforts to root out wrongdoers. In one case it was noted that Yaniris Balbuena, a 31 year old transit cop was charged with laundering 250,000 dollars to her heroin trafficking husband. Balbeuna once told her boyfriend to give up this terrible way of living and live the clean life but the boyfriend enjoyed his illegal luxurious life. The worse case facing the crooked cops is that of Jorge Arbaje-Diaz. Diaz had been on the force for three years and over that time he commited 100 armed robberies for drug-traffickers.

In my opinion this is terrible, I mean how are you supposed to trust these cops with anything if they are the same as the men they swore to take down. The NYPD should really crack down on stuff like this and maybe even do more background checks and make sure you can trust them. I mean the men who are supposed to protect us should be the cleanest and most loyal men out there.
