Yard Work...

There was a man in D.C. that was arguing with his stepfather over yard work and the argument took a terrible turn. The 27 year old step son ended up shooting his step father because he didn't want to do something. The stepfather that was shot was a policeman for D.C. He was a policeman for 24 years and he is no longer. The step son ended up getting away and no one knows where he is. He is a 6'1" 170 pound guy. Everyone that was apart of the police force in D.C. liked this man and are now mourning the loss of a policeman.

Turkish Pianist in Trouble

A piano player from Turkey is in some big trouble for making some comments about religions through Twitter. He was making some jokes about a religion leader and some Islamic practices. The forty three year old man was originally sentenced a ten month period in prison. The sentence was suspended for five years. If he re-offends in the next five years he will have to serve the sentence. The man says that this is outrageous and he was just speaking his mind and he brings up freedom of speech. He says he'll be fine and not make any other comments about other religions but he isn't very happy about the whole thing.

Ford vs. Toyota

Ford and Toyota are having a battle about who's subcompact car is better. Some people say Ford but some other people will say Toyota. They can't really decide on peoples opinions because of what car they have and it's just not reliable. Ford had more sales in China and the United States but Toyota had the most Japan. Even a year after the Focus was released the sales are still increasing since then. They say the sales will strengthen even more within the next year by both cars.

Bombs Away!!

As of this week Haiti attempted to bomb the United States but that didn't work very well because the rocket came up short and landed in Canada. The rocket actually never exploded. It just landed and got stuck in the ground. Since Haiti attempted to bomb us they ended up getting completely wiped off the map. We sent up a couple two or three huge rockets and the country of Haiti is no longer. After this incident North Korea is now scared and gave up and trying to create a rocket. The End.
