This is so unbelievably fucked up. The knife murderers are both dead. They think one of the brothers killed the other and then when the surviving brother was run off the road in a stolen SUV, shortly afterwards in custody he goes into "medical distress" and is pronounced dead at the hospital. 

Alright, he may have been helped on the way to hell but what is really tragic in this story is he was released on early parole after he had stabbed his In Laws. Then he killed them when released. 

In February, the board said he would "not present an undue risk" and that his release would "contribute to the protection of society" by facilitating his rehabilitation.

Parole documents show he had a decades-long criminal record, including 59 criminal convictions since he was 18 for assault, threats and robbery.

That entire parole board should lose their jobs for this.

Drug overdose at Noctural Wonderland music festival in San Bernardino leaves mother searching for answers - ABC7 Los Angeles

I was joking with my wife last week and asking her the over/under of three people dying from overdoses at this stupid festival.

"The bottom line is, where does it come from? Where is it coming from? Who is distributing this? Who is giving it out?"

Lol, how about not take any drugs at all and then not have to worry about it?

Army veteran regains ability to walk with robotic exoskeleton after paralysis: ‘Beyond words’

An American hero is getting a new lease on life.

U.S. Army veteran Richard Neider has regained his ability to walk thanks to new robotic exoskeleton technology.

The Arizona vet was paralyzed due to a spinal injury he suffered while serving in Iraq in 2005, which completely wiped out the use of his legs.

The new FDA-approved technology, developed in Israel, helped Neider take his first steps in more than a decade, which he considered an "amazing experience"

• Death toll in Indonesia stampede revised to 125

At least 125 fans have been killed at a soccer match in Indonesia after police fired tear gas, causing chaotic scenes where fans were trampled upon and suffocated, making it one of the deadliest sports events in history.

The death toll was previously confirmed to be 174, but local authorities reduced the number, saying some victims were counted twice.

Attention immediately focused on the police use of tear gas, and witnesses described that police beat them with sticks and shields before shooting canisters directly into the crowds.

The president of FIFA called the deaths at the stadium "a dark day for all involved in football and a tragedy beyond comprehension," while President Joko Widodo ordered an investigation of security procedures. While FIFA has no control over domestic games, it has advised against the use of tear gas at soccer stadiums.

Saturday's game is already among the world's worst crowd disasters, including the 1996 World Cup qualifier between Guatemala and Costa Rica in Guatemala City where over 80 died and over 100 more were injured. In April 2001, more than 40 people are crushed to death during a soccer match at Ellis Park in Johannesburg, South Africa.

Your toothpaste tube will likely have a colored square at the bottom. It might be red, blue, green, or black. The squares are called “eye marks.” They are cues for assembly line machines to cut and fold the toothpaste tubes at the right spot. Basically, the marks are important in the production of toothpaste. Without the colored squares, the assembly line machines will not know where to cut and fold.
