An Orange County Superiour Court judge today decided that convicted child rapist, Kevin Rojano, should have his 25 year sentence for sodomizing a child cut short by 15 years as "there was no violence or callous disregard to the vicim's well being". Is anyone else fuming with rage after reading...

Perhaps he's got alcohol issues - it seems likely. Nevertheless, a cop showing up for work drunk? Surely a sackable offence?

No, I wouldn't want to do that at all. I'd hate to be ancient and infirm, relying on other people to take me to the bathroom. Also, killing someone purely for their remaining years is an incredibly selfish thing to do. Would it be worth living with the guilt?

Whilst this is undoubtedly a tragedy, I have to agree with the other posters in that the parents should have been watchng him, not the siblings. It's unfair to lay this responsibility onto children and now they have to live with the guilt forever.

How on earth would they know whether someone was taking a long shower or not? I can't imagine that all the homes in California have smart water meters. Still, asking people to reduce their general water consumption does seem like a good idea. I can imagine that if individual districts get fined...

Wow, law enforcers being brought to justice! That's a rarity but I'm glad it's happened. The Department is there to protect and serve ALL of the community, not just the straight white members. There are certain to be gay and black members of the Department too and it's unacceptable to force them...

What a silly thing to do. He must have really believed he was capable of making the jump to have attempted it. The sad thing is, it was just teenagers smoking marijuana and the punishment that would have been meted out would have been minimal. Certainly not worth killing yourself to avoid.

I think it's completely irresponsible to use a phone whilst driving. You need to keep your full attention on the road and texting etc. stops you from doing this. Like Shimus says, if it can't wait then pull over as soon as it is safe to do so.

What a sad story. I wonder what was really happening? It doesn't seem like a case of "pushy parenting" at all but it does look like this boy had some prior issues. I am surprised that no adults picked this up though.

I'd clear my debts and mortgage then go on vacation for a couple of months, to decide what I should do next. There's a few friends who I would like to treat too, especially my BFF who is a single mom working two jobs.

Good news, he's been captured. It turns out that his aunt was once a guard at the very same jail and has been arrested herself, on suspicion of aiding his escape. Here's a link to the latest details: Escaped inmate convicted of murder captured in Chicago

We don't actually know whether the woman knew whether he was on the sex offenders register or not. He may well have hidden that fact from her. We don't even know if this girl was any relation to the woman either. I'm sure more details will emerge in the coming weeks. I hope the charges...

Who are these 2 people? Is it Bear Grylls and Ray Mears? Joking aside, did you mean to put 2 million?

@Diane Lane, we can post links... I found more information on the story here, it seems that the police disturbed her when she was attempting to self-harm. Link below. Upstate NY woman swings crucifix in attack on deputies, police say | syracuse.com

In fact, 1 in 4 people has experienced mental illness at some point in their lives. So yes, there ARE many, many mentally ill people running about these days. The majority of them are not dangerous though. Whilst the woman in the story clearly is a risk, it's important to point out that not...

UPDATE: The autopsies showed that the children had been beaten to death. Their mother, Mitchelle Blair, has been charged with murder. We still don't know how long the children have been dead but Blair's other two kids, who are 8 and 17, have been placed into the care of a relative.

I've never been one to start disagreeing mwith my superiors at work. My office is the sort of place where you put up and shut up and anyone who is thought to be a "troublemaker" is usually assigned the worst tasks and passed over for promotion.

Good old burger and fries for me. Let me elaborate, it needs to be a pretty substantial burger with cheese, bacon and onion rings. Ketchup is alo a pre-requisite!

Convicted murderer, Kamron T. Taylor escaped from the Jerome Combs Detention Center in eastern Illinois at around 3am this morning. He overpowered a guard, stole his keys and made off in his car. Taylor is considered to be armed and dangerous and remains at large...

What a difficult question. I'd like to think I'd blow the whistle but I'm not certain that I would do that immediately. It would depend on the general workplace culture too - if it was likely that my career might be made more difficult by making a report then I would be hesitant. At the same...
