Freed Hikers Were so happy

Hikers Josh fattal and Shane Bauer ment there families in Oman after 2 years. Sarah Shrourd who was realeased last year on medical grounds hugged Bauer her fiance. Both men and the family all they could say was how grateful there were to the Oman gorvenment and everybody that helped. I think being in jail in another country is way to long and they did nothing wrong to be there. I am glad no one was harmed though and that they are finally free at last.

The man also claimed that he fell out of a crib which is horrible that he lied thats a huge injury for a kid just falling out of the cribs. The mom just left him for a little while and went downstairs and then she went to get him up from his nap and he was died

Jonesboro shootings

Who did it? Mtichell Johnson 13 and Andrew Golden, 11
What happened? The younger of the two asked to be excused from class and went and pulled the fire alarm, then he went to meet Johnson in wooded area. They were 100 yards away from the schools gym, when kids flowed out of the school doors, they opened fire. In the end they had killed 4 students and one teacher, also injuring 10 other students. They were found a little bit later with 13 firearms and 200 hundered rounds of amunition, all this stolen from the golden famillies supplies along with some bows and hunting Knifes. In there possesion as well was a stolen van were they kept all the suppplies. Neither of these boys were strangers to guns, both belonged to gun clubs were they shot at moving human targets. It was said that Golden had been shooting at dogs to get ready for the real shooting. Since of there young age they could not be tried as adults and were sent to a reform school tell they're 18, the law changed and were kept somewhere else tell they were 21.Why? The theroy was thought that they were targeting certain people such as there ex girl friends that recently brooke up with them. That was never proven for sure and was also thought that it was maybe conisdental. I think I would take the angle of unusualness

Missing Colorado Cat Found in New York

This cat was found wandering the streets of Manhattan, and taken to a pet shelter where a microchip embeded in him traced Willow the cat back to Colorado. Workers at the shelter dont't know who this cat has been living with but he looks healthy and a little fat, but the worker nows one thing he didn't travel have way across the country.

I think this is insane that the original owners of the cat will finally get the cat back after 5 years. I really wonder though how the cat got all the way into New York City and if someone would have stole the cat and take it all the way to New York>

unusual, timeliness, human intrests

Video games : Google+ isn't playing around

I don't think this is a good idea, google is basically gunna be just like facebook with some minor changes. I feel like google is copying facebook and i don't think thats right, in other words if facebook got a web search they would be pretty much the same. I do like the games that google is offering and i think a lot of people are going to want to play them. I feel like not enough people buy into the games to better yourself in the game and if google is only taking 5 percent that is not that much at all. Basically i think this is a bad idea to make google into a chat i think having games would be good but not the same as the ones on facebook.
