On February 14th, the state of Florida was victim to a tragic shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. The shooter, 19-year-old Nikolas Cruz, killed 17 people and injured 14, CNN reports. The following Thursday, the Florida gunman began his journey through the criminal justice system.
Cruz was officially charged with 17 counts of premeditated murder. He was also not awarded any bail by the judge as well. After the hearing, Cruz’s defense attorney, Melisa McNeil, told reporters that Cruz feels sad, remorseful and mournful, according to theDaily Mail.
McNeil and Gordon Weekes, another member of Cruz’s defense team, confirm that Cruz suffers from depression, autism, and has dealt with other psychological issues. Weekes adds that Cruz is deeply troubled and believes that the teenager has suffered significant trauma that comes from the loss of his mother.
This Is What We Know About Nikolas Cruz: According to the Anti-Defamation League, Cruz hurled slurs at Muslims and black people and he had certain ties to white supremacists. They also report that Cruz said that he wanted to shoot people with his AR-15, the gun that was used in the shooting. CNN states that there were posts under videos on Youtube and other sites by someone that used the name Nikolas Cruz that included threatening comments. Some of the comments included “I wanna shoot people with my AR-15” and “I wanna die Fighting killing s**t ton of people.”
In September of 2017, a video blogger, Ben Bennight, apparently warned the FBI about a possible shooting threat from one of the Youtube users with the same name as Cruz. One FBI agent confirms that a field officer in Jackson, Mississippi interviewed the person who gave the tip. Unfortunately, there was no additional information found on the person who posted the threatening comment.

This Is What We Know About the Shooting: CNN reports that an Uber driver dropped Cruz at the school at 2:19 p.m. and he proceeded to walk through the east stairwell of the school at 2:21 p.m. According to the local law enforcement timeline, Cruz was carrying his rifle in a black case. Cruz activated the fire alarm at some point in order to get everyone out of the classrooms. Some students were confused when they heard the fire alarm because the school had already done a fire drill earlier that day. Cruz started roaming the halls on the first floor and targeted students who were huddled up in classrooms before he went to the second floor. Some students were texting goodbye to loved ones while this was happening. Others were posting images on social media. One student, Kelsey Friend, said that she heard her teacher get shot in the doorway while she and the rest of her classmates hid near the teacher’s desk.

After Cruz was finished, he dropped his rifle and backpack on the third floor of the school and ran out of the building to blend in with the evacuating crowd. According to the timeline, Cruz went to a Subway sandwich store and bought a drink before he went to McDonald’s and sat down for a few minutes. Cruz was identified thanks to school security videos by investigators and a Coral Springs officer detained Cruz when he saw him walking along the side of a road.

Gun Control Debate: According to Senator Chris Murphy, Congress bears the responsibility for the epidemic of mass slaughters in the United States. He says that it’s not a coincidence that these shootings keep happening, it’s because of Congress’ inaction. Murphy, who is Connecticut Democrat, has been a supporter of gun control legislation for years. He represented the state when the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting occurred in 2012, killing 20 children. This is not the first time Murphy has criticized fellow members of Congress before, he also did so when the biggest mass shooting in modern American history occurred in Las Vegas in October 2017.

Unfortunately, not everyone agrees with the timing of Murphy’s comments. House Speaker Paul Ryan argues that this is not the right time to have a political battle regarding gun laws. He told reporters at a news conference at the Capitol that everyone needs to take a step back from fighting each other and just try to pull together as a country. Ryan also reminded the reporters that the Republican-controlled House passed a bill that helps fill the holes in the Criminal Background Check System. The bill ensures that there will be more distinct reporting from states and the military of people with domestic convictions, according to CNN.

More Background On Nikolas Cruz: Cruz was an adopted child, and his adopted mother, Lynda Cruz, passed away in November 2017. Kimberly and James Snead took Cruz into their home and let him stay there for three months before this shooting occurred. According to Broward County Public Schools Superintendent Robert Runcie, Cruz was suspended from the school he opened fire on because of disciplinary problems. He didn’t give specifics. According to CNN, Broward Sheriff’s deputies were called to the Cruz family home a total of 39 times since 2010. Some of the calls were for a mentally ill person, child/elderly abuse, domestic disturbance and a missing person.

Beam Furr, who is the Broward County Mayor, says that Cruz was getting treatment at a mental health clinic for a long time, but he had not been back to the clinic in over a year, according to Daily Mail.
When Geoffrey Chaucer wrote in The Merchant’s Tale that “love is blind” and Shakespeare used the expression multiple times in his plays, they weren’t exaggerating. As awe-inspiring as love can be, it can also make people do extremely stupid things. Whether these people did really love or thought that they were in love is up for debate. Below are some incidents we found on a Reddit thread in which men made a fool of themselves for a woman and ruined their career or suffered terrible consequences.
1. Thad Roberts, an intern at NASA, stole millions of dollars worth moon rocks gathered from Apollo missions. He was sentenced to six years in federal prison after having sex with his girlfriend on a bed full of the rocks.
In 2001, a married, 24-year-old Thad Roberts was accepted into one of NASA’s co-op program for aspiring astronauts and was assigned to the Johnson Space Center in Houston. From the Apollo missions, NASA had so far collected 842 pounds of moon rocks, some of which were in the 600-pound laboratory safe of scientist Everett Gibson. One night, with the help of two young female interns, Roberts entered the lab. Unable to crack the safe, he simply loaded it onto a trolley and drove to Orlando with one of the accomplices, 22-year-old Tiffany Fowler.
Roberts had previously emailed Axel Emmermann, a Belgian mineral collector, to sell the rocks. An hour before the sale, he and his girlfriend celebrated in a hotel room by putting the moon rocks under the blanket and having sex on them. Emmermann, who was suspicious, informed FBI of the sale. Roberts pled guilty and was sentenced to six years in prison. In an interview, he stated that he did it all for love, which the FBI did not believe, and that they wanted to fund science that might change the world.(1, 2)
2. In 2012, Captain Francesco Schettino caused the cruise liner Costa Concordia to capsize when he misjudged the sail-by maneuver while with his girlfriend on the bridge, resulting in the death of 32 passengers.
A sail-by, or sail-past salute, is an ancient custom, especially among Italian and Greek seafarers, in which the ship is sailed close to the shore to salute those on land. On the night of January 13, 2012, Costa Concordiawas sailing off the Italian island Isola del Giglio with 3,206 passengers and 1,023 crew aboard. The ship’s captain was 53-year-old Schettino who was in a romantic relationship with 26-year-old Moldovan dancer, Domnica Cemortan. It is unclear whether Costa Cruises, the company that owns the ship, had ordered a sail-past, though Schettino claims the managers did.
Having done the maneuver three or four times before, Schettino turned off the computer navigation system’s alarm to navigate by sight. When he saw waves breaking on the reef he turned the ship abruptly and in the process the ship’s hull hit an uncharted rock. When the ship capsized, instead of helping the passengers, he abandoned the ship even though the Coast Guard ordered him to return to the ship.
The incident resulted in 32 deaths and about 300 passengers were left aboard until they were rescued by helicopters and motorboats. It was revealed during the investigation that the captain was entertaining his young lover, who had boarded the ship as a non-paying passenger, against the rules on the bridge. The prosecution alleged that her presence “generated confusion and distraction for the captain.” Schettino was found guilty of manslaughter and was sentenced to 16 years in prison.(1, 2)
3. While running for president, former American politician John Edwards cheated on his wife who was suffering from terminal cancer with a woman he hired to document his campaign and got her pregnant.
According to Newsweek, John Edwards hired Rielle Hunter in December 2006 to produce a series of webisodes about the behind-the-scenes life of his campaign. In 2007, the first mention of a possible affair between them appeared in the New York Post and The National Inquirer. In December 2007, the Enquireralso published a follow-up story including a photograph of a pregnant Hunter. One of Edwards’ campaign members, Andrew Young, reported to ABC News that he was asked to “Get a doctor to fake the DNA results … and to steal a diaper from the baby so he could secretly do a DNA test to find out if this [was] indeed his child.” Though he initially denied it, Edwards admitted to having an extended affair with Hunter and that he was the father. In January 2010, his wife Elizabeth announced her intention to divorce him but by the end of the year her breast cancer returned and she died on December 7, 2010.(source)
4. President Warren G. Harding left behind about 1,000 pages of explicit love letters to his mistress, Carrie Fulton Phillips, in which he nicknamed his penis “Jerry.” Phillips is the only woman to have successfully blackmailed a major US political party.
The Harding and Phillips were family friends and toured Europe together. In 1901, Philips’ toddler son died. During this time she grew close to Harding and they would carry on their intimate relationship while on their tours. When Harding’s wife, Florence, found out about their affair, the Phillips family returned to Europe so as to reconcile their respective marriages. Meanwhile, Harding ran for the United States Senate. As Europe plunged into war, Phillips returned to America and their affair reignited. Phillips was passionate about Germany and reportedly even threatened to expose their affair if Harding voted in favor of war against the country.
In 1920, Harding was nominated for US president by the Republican Party. After he disclosed his affair and the hundreds of love letters he wrote to her, many of them on Senate stationery, the party officials sought to keep it quiet, especially considering Phillips’ support for Germany. In return for her silence, Phillips dictated her own terms and received an extended paid tour of Asia and the Pacific Islands, along with an annual stipend for the rest of her life.(1, 2)
5. In 1981, John Hinckley Jr. tried to assassinate US President Ronald Reagan in order to impress Jodie Foster. One of the bullets ricocheted hitting Reagan in the chest and critically wounding Press Secretary James Brady.
John Hinckley became obsessed with the movie Taxi Driver (1976) and developed an infatuation with Jodie Foster who plays a teenage prostitute in the film. When Foster joined Yale University, he moved to Connecticut to stalk her for some time before enrolling in a writing class. While there, he would slip messages and poems under her door. Unable to impress her, he began fantasizing about hijacking planes or committing suicide in front of her. He finally settled on assassinating the president just like Robert De Niro’s character Travis Bickle did in Taxi Driver. He trailed President Jimmy Carter until he was arrested on firearms charge in Nashville, Tennessee. In 1981, he targeted newly elected Reagan and just before his attempt wrote to Foster,
Over the past seven months I’ve left you dozens of poems, letters and love messages in the faint hope that you could develop an interest in me. Although we talked on the phone a couple of times I never had the nerve to simply approach you and introduce myself…. The reason I’m going ahead with this attempt now is because I cannot wait any longer to impress you.
Hinckley did not try to escape and was arrested immediately. He was found not guilty by reason of insanity and was placed under institutional psychiatric care until September 2016.(source)
6. In 1936, Edward VIII created British Empire’s worst constitutional crisis by abdicating the throne in order to marry the twice-divorced American, Wallis Simpson.
Edward first met Wallis Simpson, an American citizen and wife of British shipping executive Ernest Simpson, in January 1931. Ernest was Wallis’s second husband, the first being a US Navy pilot Win Spencer. By 1934, Edward and Wallis became lovers. The idea of a married American divorcee, with a questionable past, having such influence over the heir apparent led to anxiety and both of them were secretly followed by members of Metropolitan Police Special Branch. On January 20, 1936, following the death of his father King George V, Edward ascended the throne.
Edward and Wallis continued their relationship. By the end of October that year, Wallis filed for divorce and it was rumored that the king would marry her as soon as she was free. The marriage was opposed by the governments of the UK and British Commonwealth. Also, the Church of England did not allow a British monarch to marry a divorcee if her ex-husbands were still alive. Knowing that the British government would fail and the political neutrality of the crown would be jeopardized if he married her, Edward abdicated on December 11, the same year. With just 326 days of reign, Edward is considered the shortest-reigning monarchs in British history.(source)
7. In the 1790s, Alexander Hamilton, one of the Founding Fathers of the US, had an affair with Maria Reynolds and was blackmailed into paying over $1,300 over the course of nine months while he continued to see her. A few years later, the affair was made public in a pamphlet.
In the summer of 1791, 34-year-old Hamilton and 23-year-old Maria Reynolds started an affair which lasted with varying frequency until June 1792. Maria’s husband, James Reynolds, was well aware of the affair and used it to extort a total of $1,300 in exchange for secrecy. When Reynolds was arrested in November 1792 for his participation in a scheme involving unpaid back wages, he tried to blackmail Hamilton again by telling him to choose between his affair being made public and falsely admitting complicity to his charges. Hamilton instead chose to reveal the nature of his affair with Maria to James Monroe, Abraham Venable, and Frederick Muhlenberg. Though they decided to keep the affair secret, Monroe wrote about it to Thomas Jefferson, who, being Hamilton’s rival, started rumors about corruption and the affair five years later. Hamilton denied all charges of corruption but did not deny his relationship with Maria which severely damaged his reputation.(source)
8. In 1961, the SL-1 nuclear reactor had a meltdown when one of the technicians withdrew the control rod improperly, killing all three people present. It is suggested that the man who pulled the rod was committing a suicide-murder because another operator was having an affair with his wife.
The SL-1 or the Stationary Low-Power Reactor Number One was a US Army experimental nuclear power reactor in Idaho intended to provide heat and electricity for small, remote military facilities. The meltdown happened on January 3, 1961, as the reactor was being prepared for restarted after it was shut down for 11 days of holidays. One of the maintenance procedures involved manually withdrawing the central control rod a few inches to reconnect it to its drive mechanism. The rod was withdrawn too far, and in four milliseconds enough heat was generated to cause a steam explosion.
The explosion knocked down two of the operators, killing one and fatally injuring the other. The third operator was impaled by a shield plug that shot through his groin, exited his shoulder, and pinned him to the ceiling. The entire reactor vessel weighing 26,000 pounds jumped up by 9 feet 1 inches and about 1,000 curies of fission products were released into the atmosphere. The most common theories proposed for the improper withdrawal were sabotage or suicide by one of the operators, a suicide-murder involving an affair, inadvertent withdrawal, or intentional attempt to make the rod travel more smoothly.(source)
9. In 2016, following a series of scandals, American politician Anthony Weiner was investigated by the FBI for sexting with a 15-year-old girl. His laptop was seized, which also contained emails related to the Hillary Clinton email controversy, resulting in a controversy late in the presidential election.
The scandals began in May 2011 when Weiner used his public Twitter account to send a link to a 21-year-old woman. The link was to a picture of his erect penis concealed by boxer briefs. Later, bloggers reported a tweet by 17-year-old that said, “Seriously talking to Representative Weiner from New York right now! Like is my life real?” Weiner admitted that he communicated with her but denied sending any inappropriate messages. Several other scandals involving photographs and conversations over social media surfaced.
In September 2016, following a report from the Daily Mail, Weiner was investigated for sexting with a 15-year-old girl. The emails relating to Hillary Clinton’s email controversy found on his confiscated laptop prompted the FBI to reopen the investigation late in the 2016 presidential election. Weiner pled guilty to sending obscene content to a minor and was sentenced to 21 months in federal prison.(source)
10. In 1836, Mexican politician and general, Santa Anna, lost the Battle of San Jacinto in just 18 minutes. It was believed he was caught unprepared because he was having sex with Emily D. West.
In 1824, General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna repealed the Mexican Constitution which ultimately resulted in the beginning of the Texas Revolution. On April 16, 1836, a free woman of color, mixed race, or a “high yellow” named Emily D. West who was working as an indentured servant was kidnapped by Mexican cavalry. She was forced to travel with the forces of Santa Anna as they were preparing to fight the Texan Army led by General Sam Houston. On April 21, their camp was attacked by Houston’s forces and Santa Anna’s forces lost easily. Though there are no contemporary records indicating that he did sleep with a woman called Emily D. West, the story was recorded in the journal of an Englishman named William Bolleart in 1842 who heard it from Houston.(source)
Arina Aliyeva, one of the finalists of the 2018 Miss Virtual Kazakhstan beauty contest, recently shocked the nation after announcing that she was actually a 22-year-old man who had signed up for the national contest to prove an important point.
It all started with an argument Eli Diaghilev, a young Kazakh male model, had with his friends about female beauty. He argued that in the old days women valued qualities like individuality and charisma, while most young women nowadays just follow the most popular trends – be they in fashion, makeup or hairstyle – thinking it makes them beautiful. Eli added that thanks to all the available cosmetics, digital editing tools like Photoshop and the general falseness in the beauty industry, even a man could pass as a beautiful woman. Diaghilev’s friends apparently didn’t agree, so he decided to prove his point by signing up for the Miss Virtual Kazakhstan beauty contest.
With a bit of help from a makeup artist and hairstylist, Eli Diaghilev became Arina Aliyeva, a young woman representing Shymkent in the popular beauty contest. Diaghilev, who has been working as a male model since he was 17-year-old, had a good idea of what the most popular beauty trends were, so all he needed was to transform his appearance accordingly. He posted some photos of himself as Arina online, and waited to see what the public’s reaction would be.
To the surprise of Diaghilev’s friends, Arina Aliyeva made the finals of the Miss Virtual Kazakhstan beauty contest, and was credited with a real chance to win the whole thing. But the 22-year-old model had already proven his point, so soon after the finalists were announced, he released a video revealing that the popular female contestant was actually him in disguise.
After Eli Diaghilev’s video confession, contestant Arina Aliyeva was disqualified for providing false information about herself and was replaced by another participant.
Obdulia Sanchez, the 18-year-old who drove drunk while live-streaming a car crash that killed her younger sister, has been sentenced to prison.
On Thursday, the Stockton, California, native, was sentenced to six years and four months in prison for gross vehicular manslaughter, DUI and child endangerment for the crash that killed her 14-year-old sister Jacqueline Sanchez and injured 15-year-old Manuela Seja in July 2017, according to The Merced Sun Star.
“I feel like such an idiot. Why did God choose me to be the older sister? I can’t even do my job right,” Obdulia said in an emotional statement in Merced County Superior Court. “I had so much potential, but I threw it all away because I wanted to look cool and drive carelessly,” added, Obdulia who broke down in tears.
“When I look at my mom’s face, I know she hates me. I would hate myself too. I’m such a disappointment to my parents.”
With good behavior in prison, Obdulia could be eligible for release on Sept. 21, 2020. The DA had sought the maximum sentence of 12 years in prison.
On July 21, Jacqueline had promised girlfriend Manuela they would see each other every weekend, so older sister Obdulia made the two-and-a-half hour drive from Stockton to Fresno, California, in a 2003 Buick Century to pick Maneula up and bring her back to the Sanchez house.
Obdulia was driving on the highway in Los Banos, California, about an hour northwest of Fresno, when she somehow lost control of the car, authorities said.
When the Buick veered onto the shoulder, Obdulia overcorrected and swerved back across the road, according to a report from the California Highway Patrol obtained by PEOPLE. She blew through a barbed wire fence into a field and flipped over, ejecting her two passengers, who weren’t wearing seatbelts.
In the footage, Obdulia was shown next to Jacqueline’s bloodied body, yelling into the camera, “I f—— killed my sister, okay. I know I’m going to jail for life alright. I understand that. This is the last thing I wanted to happen.”
Manuela suffered trauma to her leg in the wreck.
“I didn’t even know I looked like a monster — like I look like a freaking horrible monster. That was not my intention at all,” Obdulia told local TV station KGPE in August during her first interview from jail.
“We were perfectly freaking fine. Then next thing I know, we started going left. We started going left, then I started to stop the car. Then we flipped over,” she added. “And then I look in the back seat and there’s nobody in the back seat, and that’s when I started freaking out.”
Describing her sister as her best friend, Obdulia said, “She’s like my mini-me. She looked just like me. Anytime I look at her, it’s like I’m looking at myself. It makes me really sad that she’s gone.”

SANTA ANA, Calif. (AP) — A federal judge hearing arguments over whether a California county should be able to clear out a huge homeless encampment said Tuesday he plans to take a field trip to the site alongside a riverbed.
U.S. District Court Judge David O. Carter also demanded that Orange County officials provide answers about what federal funding is available to feed and temporarily house people if they are moved.
"It is time for action now. We're done with the paperwork," he told a county official while grilling her about funding.
The lawsuit is being watched by homeless advocates in West Coast cities and elsewhere amid a rise in homelessness and growth of encampments.
Tens of thousands of people are sleeping on streets from Seattle to San Diego, a problem caused in part by soaring housing costs, rock-bottom vacancy rates and a roaring economy.
"These are issues that are being litigated around the country," said Maria Foscarinis, executive director of the National Law Center on Homelessness & Poverty. "What the court decides may be used by these litigants and may be looked to by other courts, even if it is not binding."
In Orange County, Carter asked for volunteers from the courtroom to be ready to walk the site and identify veterans and abused women who need assistance.
The judge also has questioned whether an adversarial setting like a courtroom is the best place to find solutions to a problem that has overwhelmed some cities.
"Where is the leadership to get this done in this county potentially? Where is the long-term solution here?" he asked.
The hearing was expected to continue through the day or longer.
County officials and homeless advocates have sparred for months over the fate of hundreds of people living in tents on a bike trail that winds along the Santa Ana River to the Pacific Ocean.
A lawsuit was filed to prevent the move when the county began to shut down the 2-mile-long (3-kilometer-long) encampment.
Orange County, home to 3.2 million people between Los Angeles and San Diego, told homeless campers in late January that they must start moving. Deputies patrolled the area near the Los Angeles Angels' stadium to tell people about the move and offer help storing belongings and finding other shelter.
Homeless advocates sought protection from the courts when they heard the county was going to step up efforts to relocate tent-dwellers. Carter temporarily blocked officials from arresting those who refused to move.
Deputies still patrol the trail for criminal activity but are no longer encouraging people to leave, said Carrie Braun, a spokeswoman for the Orange County Sheriff's Department. Since relocation efforts began, about 30 percent of tents have been moved, she said.
Workers collected more than 400 pounds (181 kilograms) of human waste and more than 2,200 syringes in a two-week period, according to court filings by county attorneys.
They said a nearby shelter has never reached full capacity.
"The Constitution does not recognize, nor have plaintiffs provided any authority for, the right of a person to adversely possess public property merely by setting down their belongings," Marianne Van Riper, senior assistant county counsel, wrote in court documents.
The county faced another lawsuit filed last week alleging that closing the encampment violates the rights of disabled people living there
Ginza is known as the most fashionable district of Japan’s capital, Tokyo, and one public elementary school located there recently decided that it would be very fitting for children to dress accordingly. Thus Taimei Elementary School students will be donning $700 designer uniforms created by Italian fashion label Armani. The school’s decision to replace its old uniforms without even consulting the parents has sparked outrage all over Japan, and was even discussed in Japan’s Parliament last week, with one opposition lawmaker noting that the 80,000 yen ($700) school uniforms were more expensive than most business suits. In a country where school tuition fees are already a heavy burden for most parents, Taimei’s decision to introduce luxury uniforms that cost almost three times as the old ones has been branded as unnecessary and elitist.

A standard school uniform at Taimei Elementary School costs around 17,000 yen ($155) for boys and 19,000 yen for girls, and includes a jacket, pants or skirt, shirt or blouse, and hat. However, the new Armani attire would cost over 40,000 yen ($310), and also comes with optional designer accessories (school bag, vest, sweater and socks) for a total cost of 80,000 yen ($736).
Parents learned about the designer uniforms in November of last year, when Taimei’s Principal Toshitsugu Wada sent out a letter to the school community, explaining that his decision was meant meant to solidify the school’s identity as a “Ginza landmark”. Many parents responded with emails to the local education board, complaining about the excessive cost of the new designer uniform, and the embarrassment brought to families that can’t afford to buy it.
It should be noted that according to Ginza’s education board, school uniforms are not compulsory. However, wearing them is deemed “desirable”, and currently virtually all students wear them. Thus, many have criticized Principal Wada’s decision to opt for such an expensive option, with some claiming it was like “saying no to poor people” or that only children who take “pride in Armani” are welcome.
Despite all this controversy regarding his decision, Taimei’s Toshitsugu Wada told Japanese news agencies that he feels he made the right choice and that everyone will see that the new uniforms are worth the extra cost Asked if there was any chance of scrapping the new Armani uniforms and sticking with the standard ones, Wada said that the old uniforms are no longer being produced.
“I made the decision for the future of Taimei Elementary School,” Wada recently wrote on the Taimei school website. “I was humbled by the complaints about the lack of explanation and the belated announcement, and I will put my best effort to properly explain it (to gain understanding).”
The new Armani uniforms are scheduled to be introduced at Taimei Elementary School in April.
