Minnesota woman charged with killing boyfriend in video stunt - StarTribune.com

Quote:

19-year-old woman shot at a book her boyfriend was holding against his chest, killing him at close range outside their northwestern Minnesota home in what was a video-recorded stunt gone awry, according to a criminal complaint filed Wednesday.

Monalisa Perez was charged with second-degree manslaughter in Norman County District Court and remains in a regional jail in Crookston in connection with the shooting Monday night in Halstad of 22-year-old Pedro Ruiz III.

Sheriff Jeremy Thornton said Wednesday morning that Perez, who is pregnant, will remain in jail and be connected by video to a Norman County court proceeding early Wednesday afternoon.

Ruiz held up the book — described by County Attorney James Brue as a hardcover encyclopedia — and Perez pulled the trigger on a .50-caliber Desert Eagle pistol, trying to see whether the bullet would go through, according to the criminal complaint.

I think if i was the good Samaritan, i'd be all over pressing charges after they went out of their way to continue to smear him. Random punch i could get over and understand, further smearing i cannot.

Harkens me back to my journalistic peak. Covering Snowball-the-killer-goat
Canton’s ‘killer goat’ | Canton Rewind

If you Google today, you'll find this story from 1991 popping up in the Chicago Tribune and the Orlando Sentinel among other places.

I'm the guy who wrote the original story, both locally & for AP, (and then made sure to tip the local Cox Media TV affiliate that we had a working relationship with, who quickly helped it go national). It was mentioned on Paul Harvey, and I ended up being interviewed by newstalkers in Memphis & New Orleans.

Good times man, good times.

Not so much a strange new story, but one for JiMGA to reminisce over. From my local rag, this is a great example, rarely seen nowadays, of a proper local newspaper story. Poor Dan Cooper must be thinking 'I went to college for this...'

Both Zoo Atlanta and Noah's Ark have accounted for their's, so a private owner (whether legally or illegally) is high on the of suspects, with one escaping while being transported being the only other notion in play.

But can you imagine the phone calls and conversations leading up to this?
It had to sound a little bit like "I need a bambi-lance"

A little bit spooky.

When you die you know you are dead: Major study shows mind still works after the body shows no signs of life | The Independent
Quote:

Death just became even more scary: scientists say people are aware they’re dead because their consciousness continues to work after the body has stopped showing signs of life.

That means that, theoretically, someone may even hear their own death being announced by medics.

The claim was made by Dr Sam Parnia, director of critical care and resuscitation research at NYU Langone School of Medicine in New York City.

He and his team are looking at people who suffered cardiac arrest, technically died, but were later revived. It’s the largest study of its type ever carried out.

Some of those studied say they had awareness of full conversations and seeing things that were going on around them, even after they were pronounced dead.

These accounts were then verified by the medical and nursing staff who were present at the time.

Death is defined as the point at which the heart no longer beats, and blood flow to the brain is cut off.

I have a friend who's a super foodie. Kind of guy who has $1,000s of dollars of kitchen equipment and plans his vacations around food. And he says that he cannot find any better fried chicken than fresh Popeyes.

The news story itself is not strange, and indeed must have been a terrible experience at the time and in the years since for the woman, but I have to admit I did laugh out loud at quite possibly the most English sentence I think I have ever read or heard.
