  • Home invasion, leaves intruder shot dead.

    So many things in our world are happening today. So many things that none of us can control. Last night before 2 a.m Heath Miller and his wife, Mirelle, were victims of the violent crimes going on in there neighborhood. A masked gunman by the name of Rishard Tomlin, 22, broke into their home. Miller says his dogs woke him up, luckily he was able to grab his gun because shortly after the dogs were barking he heard gun fire in his house, he shot back and hit Tomlin. Tomlin was killed.

    The Miller’s were even talking about moving soon, because of the high crime in their neighborhood. Neighbors even stated that they don’t know why something like this would happen to the Miller family. They are nice, and quiet, they are only seen when walking their dogs. Heath Miller is a music teacher at Howell L. Watkins Middle School in Palm Beach Gardens.

    Miller’s mom spoke for him, stating that he is upset about the situation. She states though, that he had to do what he had to do.

    I agree with her too. If someone is coming into your home, shooting at you in the middle of the night, what are you supposed to do. Sit back and get shot yourself, let them harm your family? It is sad, the problems that you read or see everyday. Family of Tomlin states he never did anything like this before, yet he had a police record. I am sure Tomlin’s family is suffering from the loss, but I am glad that Miller stood up, that he fought back for his life and the life of his wife. Otherwise, it could have been him or his wife in the body bag.

    I hope that this renders into the young children’s lives who knew Tomlin and said that he was a good man. I hope they see, that if they do bad like Tomlin did, it can cost them their life. I don’t understand why people turn, why people do the things they do, I do know however that they are only hurting themselves and the ones that love them.

  • Drag-racing cars fatally strike 2 pedestrians

    Happy Friday? For some of us it isn’t. Last night in the early mornings in Lauderdale, Florida 2 cars were Drag-racing. They hit 2 pedestrians, leaving them in the street and killing them. A man in a nearby 7-11 said they were going so fast he didn’t even get to see the cars, he just heard the engines, the crash and then they were gone.

    They found one light colored Porsche between the 595 and I95. The other vehicle is still in investigation, as to how it looked and what model. They are saying both cars were a light pale color. I truly hope they find the 2 people who did this. I just can’t comprehend how someone can do something so harsh. Now the family of the 2 un-identified victims have to suffer for someone elses actions. Every time I open up the news in the morning all I hear is fatal accidents, or someone killing someone. It’s sad that we don’t hear the good things, that are happening in the world.

    Lets brighten up our days. If you have any stories that consist of good, and happiness, share them with me.

  • Man runs out of gas after robbing gas station

    Is this a joke? No it’s not. A 23-year-old man by the name of David Eric Hampton robbed a gas station in Charlotte County Florida. He robbed the gas station with a 12 inch blade. After robbing the gas station a witness followed him out of the gas station and called 911.

    Soon after a newspaper carrier came to tell Police, that the car they were describing ran out of gas nearby. The police headed over and caught the guy. He later was released on bail for $10,500.00.

    This is one of those stories you hear about in Stupid News…. Didn’t you check the gas first before deciding to rob a place. And if anything you could have put gas first then robbed the place. I can’t believe they let him out on bail though, but hopefully he’ll be back behind bars soon. He’s only 23 years old and he’s already throwing away his life. He needs something to wake him up, get on the right track.

  • Nine-year-old writes hit iPhone app

    Hello Tuesday Morning….

    Today I have decided to talk about something different, other than what bad stuff is happening in the world. I found this article on Yahoo.com. It’s about a 9 year old boy who writes a hit iPhone App. Yes you heard right! 9 YEARS OLD!!! He designed a game for the iphone that you can draw with your fingers, like the Etch-A-Sketch-style. It’s called Doodle Kids, and it had about 4,000 downloads in 2 weeks. I read that you can even shake your phone so that the drawing fades away, just like the Etch-A-Sketch. His name: Lim Ding Wen. He is from Singapore and knows up to six programming languages. Now imagine if at 9 he came up with this game just for his sister because she likes to draw, what will he accomplish by the time he’s 20?!?!?

    It’s amazing to me how some children are so smart, talented, different. Good different. How many of you can say you can come up with a game like this for the iPhone? And how old are you? I just find it absolutely amazing, this kid is going to go places.

    Amazing children sometimes grow up to be brilliant!

    West Palm Beach Sexual assualt offender and Robbery

    It saddens me to hear stories like this. Even as we are putting gas in our cars, we have to be extra aware of what is lurking around us. Luckily all these women are okay physically, but they will have to endure this emotional pain for the rest of their lives. Being sexually assaulted has to leave wounds that no one can every take a way. Fear is one of the worst feelings a human being can have. To live this way is not a way to live. I do believe however, that there are ways to overcome this fear, ways to keep living. Life is to precious to have fears take over.

    I have been wanting to take some self defense courses, I think women all over should take classes like this. It will help those who have had trauma, over come some of their fears, and those who have not experienced such horrible violence, it will help them to prevent such crimes upon them. If anyone has a place they go to in Miami please let me know.

    Live life, don’t let fears take over the little time we have in this world.

  • Online Sexual Predators (Myspace, etc.)


    “Sexual Predators Are Sneaking Around Online
    Caution: Online Sexual Predators Pose As Kids”
    – This is what is posted on line on CBS4 news.

    They say that about 90,000 sex offenders have been found and removed from the Web site MySpace. This is about 40,000 more than the amount they had previously encountered. They say the owner of MySpace, the news corporation and the two U.S. attorney generals came to an agreement Tuesday. Last year MySpace gave them the authority to push forward, to make sure that their site was a little bit more safer than before.

    The site, if you have noticed has features, such as if you go to search for friends, you can’t search for anyone younger than 18. This at least helps band sexual predators from searching children under 18.

    Unfortunately, sexual predators sometimes find ways to find younger children. They pretend to be your age, fake picture, and they tell you what you want to hear. This applies to both boys and girls. You need to be careful if you are on these sites.

    I have a 15 year old sister who just recently got myspace. It’s scary to think that there are so many weirdos out there. You have to make sure your myspace account is private, that when searching for you, they can’t just find you by your first and last name. Put in a fake name. If the person wants you to add them as a friend, they have to know your email address, this at least insures that the person knows you. If you do happen to come across a friendship that you don’t know, delete it, because it can be someone posing as young boy or girl your age, just trying to manipulate you into getting to know them.

    Be careful, Be cautious and always Trust that if you have a bad feeling, go with it!

  • Judge OK’s gay porn filming in Miami

    Okay, so someone was trying to shut down a gay porn site because it was located in a Miami Home. The house they say by looking at it, looks like a regular residence. So what’s the problem?

    They say the boys of Cocodorm — Snow Bunni, J Fizzo, et al — are staying just where they are, but only after a federal judge ruled that the gay porn website has a right to film out of its Edgewater home.

    “Cocodorm.com features black and Hispanic men, known as ”dorm dudes,” who share a webcam-filled house together.” (Per The Miami Herald)

    I say if this is where they want to shoot their films, and they aren’t hurting anyone then why not? No one can even see them, unless your looking over the fence. And I say if your looking over the fence, you must like what you see, if not DON’T LOOK.

    I’m glad the District Judge Marcia Cooke sided with the porn company, to keep it going. Personally, not into gay porn, but I think for those who are, shouldn’t be penalized for the ignorance we have in this world against “gay” people. There just like you and me, difference: They like the same sex. Who cares!!!!! Are you living that way in life? NO! I just never understood those rally’s of people standing outside to yell and scream of how your going to hell! You shouldn’t be gay! WHY NOT!!!!????? Who are you to judge?

    Worry about your own life and not of those who are none of your concern.

  • Passenger dies in head-on Krome Ave. collision

    Mary Ann Blustein, 63,died Saturday. A northbound truck she was in tried to pass a slower vehicle. The driver apparently did not see the semi heading south & the vehicles collided head-on. She died on the scene.

    I have always said that Krome Ave is dangerous, it’s a one way road going north and south and people tend to go slow. People who want to go faster, speed up on the other side to pass, but in some cases you aren’t so lucky as to keep driving, you become another Mary Ann Blustein. I don’t know why, after so many years they haven’t tried to expand Krome Ave. Make it at least 2 lanes on each side. This devastating accident now will live on with the family members of Mary Ann.

    This should teach many of us a lesson. If you are in a hurry, or just don’t have the patience to stay behind a slow car, Is it really worth your life, to speed up, cut someone off just to get somewhere faster? Because if it is, you are risking your life. Is your life important to you? I know my life is important.
