Crime: Former NBA player's ex-wife pleads not guilty in his death
MEMPHIS, Tenn. – The ex-wife of former NBA player Lorenzen Wright is pleading not guilty to murder charges in his death more than seven years ago.Sherra Wright's lawyers entered the plea Monday in Shelby County criminal court in Tennessee. Wright wore an orange jail jumpsuit and responded "no sir" when asked by Judge Lee Coffee if she had any questions about the case. She was arrested in December in Riverside County, California, more than seven years after Lorenzen Wright's decomposing body was found in a suburban Memphis field. He was missing for 10 days before his body was found on July 28, 2010. I hope they find out who did it.
Terror: DACA recipient, 21, threatened to 'shoot all of ya b----es' at NY high school, police say
A 21-year-old illegal immigrant who was allowed to stay in the U.S. under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program was arrested last week in Rochester, N.Y., for making terroristic threats against students in a high school, officials said.Abigail Hernandez was arrested and charged for the threats against East High School and was remanded to the Monroe County Jail in lieu of $15,000 bail, WHAM reported. Hernandez — who is not a student at the school — was moved to a federal detention facility, and will be held there until a hearing is scheduled.Rochester City School District called police at 5:08 p.m. February 16 about a threat posted on the East High School Facebook page, which read: “I’m coming tomorrow morning and I’m going to shoot all of ya b----es.” This is why I think DACA should not be a thing.
Immigration: Trump slams countries who don't block MS-13 'killers' from re-entry after report reveals gang's growing reach
President Trump's recent tweet that El Salvador "just takes our money" and doesn't contribute enough in the fight against MS-13 comes just days after a report was released claiming the gang is relying on a stream of unaccompanied minors entering the U.S. illegally to carry out its violent deeds. Trump's comments Friday also came following his threat to pull U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers from California if state officials there continued to stonewall requests from them in regards to immigration initiatives. I think rightfully slammed them.
Security: Hackers hijack Tesla system in bold cryptocurrency attack
Tesla has become the latest target of hackers attempting to “mine” cryptocurrency, according to cloud security company RedLock.RedLock reports that hackers gained access to Tesla compute resources to carry out so-called “cryptojacking,” where computers are hijacked to mine cryptocurrencies. The mining process involves making compute power available to authenticate, for example, bitcoin transactions. The “miners” then receive a financial reward for making the systems available. Digital Trends has compared the mining process to being “a bitcoin bank teller.” I don't understand this topic enough to provide a 'solution' or how I think the situation should be handled.
Surgery: Woman's hand that was chopped off in machine was saved by co-workers
A woman is expected to make a full recovery after her hand was sliced off by a coconut-chopping machine. Santha was working in a coconut oil factory in Iiritty, India when her left hand accidentally slipped into the machine and was severed from her arm.Thanks to her colleagues, who reacted quickly and rushed their co-worker ─ and her hand ─ to the hospital, surgeons eventually were able to reattach her appendage after several hours. This is amazing, I can't believe they did that.

A police drone helped save an unconscious man, who was suffering from hypothermia, from freezing to death following a car crash in the U.K. countryside.In near freezing temperatures and pitch darkness, Lincolnshire Police deployed a drone to quickly locate the man in the early hours of Sunday morning. Using the drone’s infrared and thermal technology, the man was found in a 6-foot-ditch, 525 feet from his crashed car. This is pretty cool. Technology is advancing fast.
US: Georgia teacher who fired gun in classroom previously told police he hired hitmen, report says
A Georgia high school teacher who fired a gun in a classroom Wednesday previously told police he hired two friends to kill someone on his behalf, a report said. Jesse Randall Davidson, 53, allegedly fired at least one shot inside a Dalton High School classroom, then barricaded himself inside until he surrendered to police. Davidson, a social studies teacher, is known as the “radio voice” during the school’s football and basketball games because of his play-by-lay announcements, Atlanta Journal-Constitutionreported. I'm wondering if he did that to 'protest' trump.
Odd: Multiple bodies found within minutes in Port St. Lucie, Florida; cops say deaths connected
Three dead bodies were found in Port St. Lucie, Florida, on Wednesday — each within minutes of each other — and the sheriff’s office believes the incidents are connected. A landlord who was checking in on a home in the city discovered a dead body inside around 9:50 a.m., according to the St. Lucie Sheriff’s Office. Just minutes later, a neighbor in the Oleander Pines neighborhood of Port St. Lucie reported a suspicious incident in the house next door, where deputies found a second body, Fox 29 reported. A few minutes after the second body was discovered, a car crash happened nearby. The driver of that car was later pronounced dead. I'm very intrigued on this topic. I wonder if it's a serial killer.
