Swamp "Person" Dies
Mitchell Guist, one of the twins off the hit show Swamp People, died yesterday. Glenn, the other twin, says his brother was a swamper through and through. They lived together and lived off the land. Mitchell suffered from a seizure then fell into the water, although the cause of death is not yet been officially announced. Glenn has already stated he's lost without his brother.
I love this show!! Poor Glenn, now he has to hunt all by himself. This article was relatively short. I liked that there were statements from friends, family, and other reports/witnesses. It made the article seem more personal. I liked all the pictures of Mitchell, and Glenn's good bye video. I think television stars dying in the swamp is pretty darn newsworthy.

N.J. Town Bans Texting and Walking
Fort Lee, NJ, police have begun to issue $85 jaywalking tickets to pedestrians found texting and walking. The police chief claims that texting and walking has become a distraction, and the people aren't watching where they're going. Regardless, there has been three fatal accidents this years involving pedestrians. More than 117 tickets have already been issued.
This is a bit ridiculous. So do we have to stop in the middle of the sidewalk every time we need to send a text message? This article was extremely short and to the point. I was almost struggling to find information on it. I wish there would've been opinions from town officials. As a whole, I found this article pretty outrageous. I think this is pretty newsworthy since it's so outlandish.

Wife Hits Husband Over Vote
A Wisconsin man was hospitalized after he jumped in front of his wife's SUV. Why did he jump? He was attempting to prevent his wife from voting for Gov. Scott Walker. Neighbor's say they had been fighting since the early afternoon. The husband walked in front of the car for a couple of blocks and was on the hood at one point. Shockingly, this isn't their first run in with the law.
That man is psycho. I enjoyed this article, kind of. It was a good length, but nothing super crazy happened besides the husband being ran over. I wish there would've been pictures, so I could get to know these people. I enjoy creeping on crazy couples. Any who, this article is somewhat important, but I know for a fact more important things are going on elsewhere.

Jeter's Odd Obsessions
Derek Jeter is a man of many talents. One of those talents happens to be in cologne. Jeter admitted that his cologne, Driven Black, is inspired by Snoop Dogg's cologne, Cool Waters, after hearing it in a music video. Jeter is also a quick shower kind of guy. In and out was his exact words. Oddly enough, he also irons everything. Odd habits or not, Jeter is taking home over 16 million dollars this year.
I could be satisfied with 16 million dollars. I could be happy with Derek Jeter. This article was really all that interesting, but my obsession with him kept my attention. The article kept showing off steamy pictures of Jeter....teaseeeee. The article was pretty short and mostly talked about his fragrance collection. As a whole, probably not very newsworthy.

Drunk British Steal Australian Penguin
Rhys Owen Jones and Keri Mules star in The Hangover, real life addition. They pleaded guilty, on Wednesday, to trespassing, stealing and keeping a protected animal. The pair broke into an Australian theme park to steal a penguin following a pup crawl. Sea World is pressing charges and fining them $1030. On top of stealing the penguin, they also swam with the dolphins and left a fire extinguisher in the shark tank. Their lawyers claims they meant no harm, and took care of it by feeding the penguin and putting him in the shower after waking up hungover.
Does Sea World have very low security?? If drunk people could break in, what could a normal person do? This is probably one of my favorite articles I've researched. The article was a really good length and flowed really well. I think it's awesome that they were able to break in, but it's bad that they but an innocent animal's life in danger. The poor penguin was just chilling in the video; not really knowing what was going on. Personally, I think this is quite newsworthy.

Mom Arrested fir Taking Daughter Tanning
New Jersey is known for big hair and fake tans. One New Jersey mother has been arrested for tanning her daughter. The bad thing is that her daughter is only five years old. Patricia Krentcil is being charged with second-degree child endangerment. Child services claims the daughter has a sunburn but was able to stay in the home with service workers. According to New Jersey law, only teens between the ages of 14-17 can indoor tan with parental consent.
And I thought I was addicted. I think the only way to be for sure is to look at security cameras. It's one person's word against the other. This article was actually somewhat long, but I enjoyed it quite a bit. I do think it is very wrong for moms to tan 5 year old, but this mom claims that she's taken her daughter with her for more than 10 years without there being a problem. I will definitely be following this court case.

Ugly May Day
A mini-riot broke out last night in San Francisco. The riot smashed in windows and damages store fronts of the Mission District. It all started by a ruskus street party put on my protestors. The group was fifty to one hundred protestors deep. All the damage resulted from the cops being slow to respond and not being prepared.
This article was actually pretty long, but it had tons of facts about the riot. I wish there would've been pictures. What's a riot story without pictures?? It's funny that the city blamed it on the police. As a whole, this was a decent article. I'd consider this newsworthy since riots are pretty crazy.
