Watch this bad baller get hung up on a hoop

When it comes to basketball, some guys have skills, and others, well, game is over before it even begins!Then there’s this shirtless guy in Seattle. He really likes hanging around the basketball court. Somehow, someway, this bad baller managed to get himself stuck hanging upside down from the hoop.Cops arrived to find him doing his best impression of ‘wacky waving inflatable arm flailing tube man.’ The boys in blue got a good laugh at the dunking dope before using a ladder to climb up, cut down the net and free the floppy fish.BY:MAURICIO GRIMALDO

Man discovers coins, treasure map and skeletal hand in attic


While cleaning out the attic, a man found a box with what appears to be old Spanish coins, a treasure map and a skeleton’s hand with a ring on one finger.“It seems as though this belonged to my great-grandparents because there is a picture of them in there,” he said. Lopez believes the picture shows his great-grandparents on their wedding day.Curator of the Tampa Bay History Center Rodney Kite Powell said the map appears to be a treasure map, but was likely a copy from the 1920s or ’30s. He said coins are a little thin to be Spanish coins or old coins.As for the hand, several experts have examined it but no one can say whether it’s definitely human. Lopez has his own feelings about it. BY:MAURICIO GRIMALDO.

Parking Maham

A 49-year-old lady was waiting for a parking space when she noticed someone else was holding the spot so she parked somewhere else. She later got into an argument with the spot holders husband which led to a full on brawl. In the video you can hear the husband telling his wife to beat her up and hollering for her to continue smashing her face in. There were children around and you can hear a young boy telling his mom to stop which she replies to “mind your elders”. This is so immature to start a feud over a parking space. The lady parked somewhere else so whats the problem? Immaturity is all that can be described.  MONICA TORRES

150427233401-16-baltimore-clashes-0427-exlarge-169.jpg
 
Maryland , Baltimore is where all this chaos is taking place now. Riots , Fires in Shopping malls , and even leaving cars on fire right in the middle of the street. The Baltimore Sun reported that among city school students on social media announced a "purge" to begin Monday at 3 p.m. at Mondawmin Mall and end downtown. Including an image of protesters smashing the windshield of a police car in Baltimore on Saturday, the Sun said. Is this the sign of the beginning of the Purge , or is it just teenagers trying to be heard out?

Wedding Photo Goes Viral

One couples wedding photo goes viral after the newly-wed wife added the photo above as a profile picture. Commenters began to joke and say that the figure between the two was their unborn baby. One lovely commenter photo shopped the creepy face out. I think that someone photobombed the picture and it is one of their relatives they did not notice in the background. If it was a ghost wouldn’t it look a bit different?

A gofundme campaign has been started to pay for the rangers’ salaries, equipment and everything needed to keep the beautiful creature alive and comfortable.BY: MAURICIO GRIMLADO.

Twins drown in canal

    Two 18-month-old twins drowned after their mom tried to fend off a bee and let go off their stroller. This happened while Alexis Keslar was walking with her twin sons, along a canal in Yuma. When the stroller rolled away into the canal, Keslar went after her sons, but the current washed them away and the water was too deep. After she got out of the canal, she called for help, and once her children were found, they were taken to the hospital, where they pronounced dead. Walking around canals can be more dangerous than it seems. -priscilla
Deadly Shooting and Car Accident

Three people are now dead after a car accident. A 41 year old man accidentally hit a two year old child after not seeing him, causing the child to die on impact. After the incident a relative of the child came out the house with a gun and shot the driver in the face. After he was shot a 15-year old was also shot. The police do not know if the 15-year old was a passenger in the car. I think this is absolutely disgusting. Yes, a man did hit the small child, but if the parents payed more attention to their kid he/she could still be here. Kids should be watched all the time because there are many terrible people in this world who take, hurt and even kill children.

Obama is the first sitting president to visit jamaica since Ronald Reagan was there in 1982. Before he got down to politics, He made a quick stop at the Bob Marley Museum, that’s where bob lived until his death in 1981. The president is no stranger to reggae or to ganja he says he is a big fan of the reggae star and stoner icon. But the president wasn’t doing doobie during the visit. No pot smoke just political smoke.

Stalker Alert!

Joshua Corbett was said to be the man who broke into the famous actress, Sandra Bullocks home. The court had a hearing for the man Thursday where they played ms. Bullocks disturbing 9-1-1 call. She is heard telling the dispatcher that she is hearing “them” and she's “locked herself in her closet”. Luckily her son was not with her at the time of the invasion. I think this man should be charged because no matter who a person is -famous or not no ones home should be broken into.

Barcelonas Ranking

Barcelona are somewhat fortunate to hold onto their No. 1 ranking this week. They had to rely upon Celta Vigo profligacy, a world-class performance from Gerard Pique and another goal from Jeremy Mathieu. If they're not careful, they'll use all their luck up at once!Real Madrid's 9-1 victory earlier in the afternoon set the tone, but Barca only need 1-0 wins to keep the gap between the two clubs. Will Barcelona keep the # 1 rank.

DRAFT DAY
                         

     Football has exactly 22 days until draft day, where things begin to get very hard for the athletes. Draft day will take from April 30th-May 2nd. Final decisions have been made. It's fun to look ahead and see what selections each team might make when the draft begins later this month. While it only takes one unexpected curveball on draft day to seismically shift the proceedings to follow. The year will be started amazingly, with the exchange of good players to new teams.

Officer Charged with Murder

Officer Michael Slager was charged with the murder of 50 year old Walter Scott after shooting him various times in the back. Apparently, scott had a weapon and so Michael took “appropriate” actions and pulled his gun out. I think that other things could’ve been better. Meaning instead of Michael pulling out his gun he could’ve pulled out his taser. He also could’ve identified the so called “weapon” before taking any drastic measures. This now a days is why people do not trust the police, they over use their power.

And the fast-driving franchise blew past Captain America: Winter Soldier’s $95 million dollar record for the month of April. The last Star Wars movie was only able to gross $108 million when it came out a few years ago. -MAURICIO GRIMALDO
