Mhm, leaving behind just New Hampshire, and RI.

Also, from what I've heard, they are thinking about making it legal in NH also.


RI isn't doing anything about it.

COLLEGE PARK, Ga. -- A group of college students said they are lucky to be alive and they’re thanking the quick-thinking of one of their own. Police said a fellow student shot and killed one of two masked me who burst into an apartment.

Channel 2 Action News reporter Tom Jones met with one of the students to talk about the incident.

“Apparently, his intent was to rape and murder us all,” said student Charles Bailey.

TOM JONES: College Student Shoots, Kills Home Invader

Bailey said he thought it was the end of his life and the lives of the 10 people inside his apartment for a birthday party after two masked men with guns burst in through a patio door.

“They just came in and separated the men from the women and said, ‘Give me your wallets and cell phones,’” said George Williams of the College Park Police Department.

Bailey said the gunmen started counting bullets. “The other guy asked how many (bullets) he had. He said he had enough,” said Bailey.

That’s when one student grabbed a gun out of a backpack and shot at the invader who was watching the men. The gunman ran out of the apartment.

The student then ran to the room where the second gunman, identified by police as 23-year-old Calvin Lavant, was holding the women.

“Apparently the guy was getting ready to rape his girlfriend. So he told the girls to get down and he started shooting. The guy jumped out of the window,” said Bailey.

A neighbor heard the shots and heard someone running nearby.

“And I heard someone say, ‘Someone help me. Call the police. Somebody call the police,’” said a neighbor.

The neighbor said she believes it was Lavant, who was found dead near his apartment, only one building away.

Bailey said he is just thankful one student risked his life to keep others alive.

“I think all of us are really cognizant of the fact that we could have all been killed,” said Bailey.

One female student was shot several times during the crossfire. She is expected to make a full recovery.

Police said they are close to making the arrest of the second suspect.

This is creepy as all fuck, and I would highly advise against reading this while eating due to the pictures, but it's damned interesting nonetheless.

The woman has a Wikipedia page with a few extra details the news article leaves out:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Connie_Culp

 

[BlackMetalWhiteGuy]

She was shot in the face by her husband Thomas G. "Tom" Culp in a failed murder-suicide in September 2004 outside a bar in Hopedale, Ohio. He survived as well and was convicted in 2005 of aggravated attempted murder with a 7-year prison sentence.[1] Culp forgave her husband at the sentencing and said she will be waiting when he gets out of prison.[2][3]

WHAT?

 

[Dak]

WHAT?

The Rihanna Syndrome.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Ugh.......does anyone else get the feeling that they suddenly hate her now instead of totally respecting her?

 

[zabu of nΩd]

I don't know if I would have necessarily 'respected' her to begin with, but it is rather mindblowing that she'd want to continue living with someone like that. Kinda makes you wonder if she doesn't deserve to have her face blown off again.


Of course, she probably is pretty lonely, and most likely has not been having much relationship success since her 'accident', so I guess you've gotta take what'll come.

 

[genocide roach]

now HERE'S a piece of news:

http://slamxhype.com/blogs/shanghai-that-extra-mile/

Sorry guys, I know I should be writing about design, art, fashion or culture in this blog, but I really can’t let this one slip through…

3 out of 5 men I met recently asked me if I’m gay or swing both ways, well I’m straight for sure but there are just too many cute girls in this city I can not help checking out.

I got to tell you though, it’s really unfair to be a female in Shanghai, men get all the good options, girls are pretty and opened minded, now if you are healthy kind-hearted man who like to contribute to the Shanghai Sperm Bank, the girls will go that extra mile to give you a hand!

First you need to go for a health check, then 4 days prior your visit to the “free-hand-job-then-get-paid-paradise” you must abstain from sex and masturbation. You can go 4-5 times a month, and each time you will get maximum 3 hand jobs. You will also get paid RMB200 ( US$30 ) at the end of each session for your kindness.

Address for whoever wants to give it a go: No 145 Shan Dong Zhong Lu, Ren Ji Hospital, Building 1, 7th FL, near Fu Zhou Lu, Shanghai, China.
