The Days After Friday 2

I honestly don't think the world will end Friday, I just think the Mayans got lazy and didn't want to add more years to their calendar, but if the world did end, I honestly don't think I'd survive in any case. I think in 2013 and the years to come rumors/assumptions will continue to be made about the world ending sometime soon. Until then, I think the world will just continue to be how it is today. I also think that issues like gun control, gay marriage, and legalizing marijuana will grow. I also think more discoveries will be made on Mars. In conclusion, it would be same stuff, different year. 

Woman asking Police for $300,000

In Brunswick County, North Carolina, Jennifer Herring, was being followed by a police officer with his sirens on. She called the 911 operator and told them she wouldn't pull over unless they paid her $300,000 due to a "false sense of emergency." Throughout the whole time she was being followed by the cops and refusing to pull over, she was on the phone with the operator trying to bargain with the police station. Deputy Joe Cherry, who managed to arrest Herring stated she is a "sovereign citizen." She claimed she was not running from the cop and she wasn't speeding. When asked by the operator her name, Herring stated, "My mother named me Jenna and that's the only name I have. That is my name. My name is what I say it is and I approve this message," she told the operator." She is being charged with reckless driving, DWI, fleeing to elude arrest, and driving without a license. She also didn't receive her $300,000 she asked for.

Hospital Employee Causes Hepatitis C Breakout

Thirty three year-old, David Kwiatkowski, a former hospital worker has been charged with "fraud and product-tampering" with connection to the recent outbreak of Hepatitis C in New Hampshire, which has sickened over 30 people. Before he was hired at New Hampshire's Exeter  Hospital in April of 2011, he was fired from another hospital in Arizona for being found in a bathroom passed out with a syringe in the toilet, ten months later he was diagnosed with Hepatitis C and began working in New Hampshire. Sources say David stole syringes that were painkillers for patients who went through surgery and use them for himself,  which in result would infect the syringes with his blood and be used on the patients later on.

3-Year-Old Body Found

On Sunday the 25th, twenty-year-old mother, Camilia Terry called the police while she was at a local park and reported her son, Emilliano, missing. While sobbing to the police dispatcher, she was trying to tell them details of what her son looked like, what he was wearing, and also when was the last time she saw him, which according to her was "fifteen minutes ago." While the FBI was investigating the story they found "inconsistencies" in her story, from forgetting her alleged story she began with. While searching her house, the FBI also noticed a garbage pickup truck leaving her house the day after she reported her son missing. Later on, the FBI went to the waste plant and found Emilliano in a plastic bag. An autopsy  is being held later on.

Octopus Outrage

Dylan Miller, a nineteen year old scuba diver, went scuba diving off Seattle's Cove 2 October 31st not only to view the infamous giant Pacific octopus but to capture it and kill it. He claimed that he killed the eighty pound octopus to draw for an art project and for its "meat." According to the report, the local divers are outraged due to the fact he hit the octopus in the head and threatened to come back and kill more, even though Miller had a fishing license and didn't violate any laws. He told reporters he only punched the octopus for self-defense because the octopus wrapped its tentacles around Miller resulting in suffocation. The public are still outraged because the octopus is something divers enjoy seeing and it could have been protecting eggs.
