Sandy Hook, Conn. Massacre

Although we don't have a blog due till next year I just felt the urge to talk about this. But who could have been this low down and heartless to kill 20 children + 6 adults, 20 year old Adam Lanza.
In, Newtown, Conn., a man opened fire Friday inside two classrooms at the Connecticut elementary school where his mother was a teacher, killing 26 people, including 20 children, as children cowered in corners and closets and trembled helplessly to gunshots reverberating through the building. The 20-year-old killer, carrying two handguns, committed suicide at the school, and another person was found dead at a second scene, bringing the total amount of people dead to 28. Police shed no light on the motive for the attack. The gunman was believed to suffer from a personality disorder and lived with his mother in Connecticut.The rampage, coming less than two weeks before Christmas, was the nation's second-deadliest school shooting, exceeded only by the Virginia Tech massacre that left 33 people dead in 2007. Panicked parents looking for their children raced to Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, a prosperous community of about 27,000 people 60 miles northeast of New York City. Youngsters at the kindergarten through fourth-grade school were told to close their eyes by police as they were led from the building so the children wouldn't see anything they weren't supposed to see. Schoolchildren, some crying, others looking frightened, were escorted through a parking lot in a line, hands on each other's shoulders."Our hearts are broken today," says President Barack Obama, struggling to maintain composure, at the White House. He called for "meaningful action" to prevent such shootings. Youngsters and their parents described teachers locking doors and ordering the children to huddle in the corner or hide in closets when shots echoed through the building. Authorities didn't say exactly how the shootings unfolded.They also gave no details on the victim discovered at another scene, except to say that the person was an adult found dead by police while they were investigating the gunman. A law enforcement official identified the gunman as 20-year-old Adam Lanza, the son of a teacher. A second law enforcement official said his mother, Nancy Lanza, was presumed dead. " How could you have been so brutal and merciless do do that to children who were expecting Christmas in 11 days?" says Shambrey Halton of Memphis Tn." Now the parents of these defenseless children have to go home to a Christmas tree full of wonderful gifts and just call to god and their children, and just grieve. Some of these parents didn't have the fiances to get the gifts their children wanted in the past years, but could finally make enough to get their little girl her barbie dream house; to get that boy the x-box he's been dreaming of since he was 4, and you come alone and take all of that away from them. The question stills remains unanswered, what could possessed you do such horrible damage to these families in Connecticut.

Mike Tyson Bites Ear!!!

On June 28, 1997, Mike Tyson bit Evander Holyfield’s ear in the third round of their heavyweight rematch. Tyson's bite lead him to his disqualification from the match and suspension from boxing, and was the strangest chapter in this champion’s career. Mike Tyson enjoyed his rise to stardom. In 1986, he became the youngest heavyweight champion in history by beating Trevor Berbick at just 19 years old. By 1989, Tyson had begin to go downward in sports. His behavior included marrying then divorcing actress Robin Givens, firing and suing his manager, breaking his hand in an early morning street brawl and two car accidents,one of them supposingly being a "suicide" attempt. Tyson also fired trainer Kevin Rooney and replaced him with Don King.Unable to keep his focus on boxing Tyson lost the heavyweight title after being knocked out by James "Buster" Douglas in a stunning upset on February 11, 1990. In 1991, Tyson was accused of rape by Desiree Washington, a contestant in a beauty pageant he was judging in Indianapolis, Indiana. He was convicted on February 10, 1992, and served three years and one month in a the federal pen. Once released, Tyson regained his heavyweight belts and then planned a bout with Holyfield, a clean-living, religious former heavyweight champion from Georgia who was considered the best heavyweight challenger for Tyson after Lennox Lewis, who Tyson refused to schedule. Holyfield had retired in 1994, and on November 9, 1996,Holyfield shocked the boxing world by beating Tyson in an 11th round TKO to win Tyson’s WBA title. Holyfield came into the rematch on this day in 1997 even stronger than he had been for the first fight. In the first round, he hit Tyson hard with body shots while Tyson flailed away, ignoring the advice of boxing his trainer had promised he would employ. By the end of the round, the crowd chanted Holyfield’s name, turning on the usual fan favorite Tyson. In the second round, Holyfield head-butted Tyson, opening a cut over Tyson’s right eye.In the third round, Tyson lost what composure he had left. He spit out his mouthpiece, bit off a chunk out of Holyfield’s right ear and then spit it onto the canvas. Though Holyfield was in obvious pain the fight resumed after a brief stoppage, and then Tyson bit Holyfield’s other ear. With 10 seconds left in the third round, he was disqualified. His $30 million purse was withheld while Nevada boxing officials reviewed the fight. Events in Tyson’s life took repeated turns for the worse in the after the fight, and culminated in his bankruptcy. In part due to $400,000 a year spent on maintaining a flock of pet pigeons and an arrest for cocaine possession. In 2006, Tyson agreed to join Heidi Fleiss’ legal brothel in Nevada as a prostitute.
