Dodgers not to blame!!

According to Jerome Jackson who is representing the LA Dodgers as well as Frank McCourt in court,  the two men who almost beat Bryan Stow to death should be liable for potential millions of dollars and not the Dodgers. The two men who are accused of the beating have pleated not guilty each having a count of mayhem as well as assault by means likely to produce bodily injury. What is stunning by this idea is that Jackson is saying that Bryan Stow and the two attackers are the ones to blame not the Dodgers. The official  lawsuit  only blames the Dodgers  organization for  having, "poor lighting and security problems at the ballpark". (www.usatoday.com/sports) The story has gotten more exposure now since their is a possibility that McCourt will have to sell the team. If the team is sold who knows where the money is going to come from to pay for the lawsuit.

8 people killed

http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-1013-seal-beach-shooting-20111013,0,4309220.storyThere was a deadly shooting in Seal Beach that left 8 people dead and wounded a 73 year old woman. The attacker who was identified as Scott Dekraai went in and shot 8 people at a hair salon. The intended person was his ex wife  Michelle Fournier. It seemed that they had a sloppy and ugly custody fight over their 8 year old son. She stated to one of her friends that she had a feeling he might want to kill her. Sure enough he did as well as as 7 other people. It is always tragic to see people killing one another but this guy didnt just kill his wife but took 7 other lives. Its leaving families with out fathers and mothers, and even brothers or sisters. The identities of the other victims have not been released yet. Even Michele's former husband Steve Huff  said, "It's just unfortunate that a mad man had to derail everybody like this," "This guy was just a loose cannon.. She wanted to get along." But there is always another side to the story, it seems that family of the shooter stated that he accused her of being an, "Uncaring, selfish drunk". This story leaves the son with no mother and no father. Just another child raised maybe by immediate family or friends.
